Hello...
I created a button that opens a link to a URL and copies information from a record to the clipboard to paste on this webpage.
The users are not using it correctly (they need to close the page each time they need to do the next record).
what i want to do is to close ALL IExplore windows via access if there are any open then open the URL again. Sounds pointless but we have to close it because of security.
Thanks.
I'm getting the attached message using internet explorer into an access form..
View 6 Replies View RelatedIīm thinking of starting to use office XP for a small system I have. My question is:
Is office XP more compatible with internet explorer in terms of VBA automating? I have had to work around internet explorer quite a lot in office 97, and I havenīt been able to do what I want.
Fuga.
There is an online form which we need to fill out for each of our inventory units. This form has several dozen fields though. We have to fill each one out for every unit that we ship (which is about a hundred a day).
But the good news is, about 25 of these 30 fields are always filled in with the same value (our name, address, city, state, zip, insurance, insurance no, carrier, carrier no, etc).
What we want is a way to fill out these fields for us automatically, and all we have to do is type in the remaining 5 fields ourselves.
My temporary solution was to create a form with 5 fields and a Submit button. Then using AppActivate "Inventory Adjustment - Microsoft Internet Explorer", we would use the SendKeys function and virtually "type" in the 5 variable values and the 25 other "hardcoded" values, using the Tab key to move in between fields.
However, we have encountered some issues using SendKeys. For one, the cursor doesn't always start in the correct place, and the fields become horribly offset and skewed. Also we notice that sometimes the cursor moves "too fast" apparently and skips pasting some of the values (an issue we tried to resolve by using "wait" commands, but it didn't help consistently enough).
Is there a better way to use Visual Basic to fill in fields in an Internet Explorer window? :(
I want to open the internet explorer from access
but with url
for example
dim strUrl as string
strUrl = "http://www.google.com"
'here I want to open the explorer with the strUrl
thanks!
We have a webpage hyperlink to a network drive that contains a database...but this particular database doesnt open. It shows Access running under process in Task Managerk, but the application doesnt show up as running. Our other databases open fine...for some reason this particular one refuses. I get a message when opening the link that the publisher could not be verified. It almost seems like a security issue with Internet Explorer. I've lowered all security to the lowest levels and enabled everything. These links are only accessed from within the company. Any ideas would be great. Thanks, Jeff

I have a database with student information that contains tables about their dissertation and graduation information. There is a field "academic year" noting their graduation year. I have a form for data entry that my data entry person likes to use in datasheet view. The form is based on a query that contains only current academic year records. When a new academic year arrives, I plan to create a new query for the form to feed from. i.e., "hiding" past academic year records on the form in datasheet view.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhat would be the best way to store data in a database that could change but without effecting previous linked records?
Let me try & explain a little better.
I have a table that lists materials with the cost price & sell price of each item
When I use that info to create a record I will only store the id no that the material is related to then link the cost fields to display the prices without storing the data again.
The problem I face is that in the future if any of the costs are changed in the main table then all linked records will also show the new amounts.
what's the best way around this?
Do I simply store the actual costs in the records when they are created allowing only the current costs to be used ?
I want the program to input an entry for every item with a value ranging from 1-300, according to sales data, according to the associated style.
I have to sort large amounts of Data and format them into a way I can deal with it.
I get two inventory lists twice a week from 16 stores.
I sort this data in two ways.
I do this by comparing an inventory list to a list of 300 of the best selling styles.
Currently, I input one list of inventory data in excel and then organize the items manually and respectively to sales data list in columns. Top 25 styles, 50, 100, 200, 300.
When I am finished, I have a certain amount of items in the top 25 styles, a certain amount in top 50, and so on. I color code the columns and write down the quantities and percentage of each category in the list..
if this is still confusing:
I have two tables.
one has the style numbers of which several items are in the category of a style number.
and one is the list I want to sort the previous list by. It has 300 styles that sold the best. they are rated from 1 to 300.
I want to organize all my items in each list by the 300 style list.
I have to do this twice a week, for 16 stores, for two separate reports.
ongoing basis.
is there a way of having the program do the numbers for me?
I am entering the data in excel physically . Is it possible to do this another way?
I am trying to sort the sales data sheet INTO the columns I have set up AND according to the styles that each piece of data has in common.
Hi everyone,
What is the best solution to deal with different currencies in an Access Application? After creating a table that includes currencies codes I want to use them in the form to present and calculate prices.
After choosing the currency from a combobox, the price field must be presented in numeric values with the chosen currency code.
Thanks in advance,

I have a database that has the basic tables of products, accounts and orders.
I need to figure out how to deal with returns.
Do I create a separate table and link that to the orders table for returns?
I haven't made such a large database file so I was curious if anyone had any information on how to lead me in the right direction. Or if there were any examples. (I've looked around but haven't completely figured out the best way to handle this.)
Thanks!
I have a database that keeps track of training hours for each employee. The Training Length is formated as Short Time. I just figured out that short time can only go up to 23:59:59. Some of my trainings will be over that. Does anyone know a way to get around other than splitting up my hours and Mins in the table?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using the following to extract date information from a text field as part of a query.
Narrr_Date:CDate(Left(Mid([si_narr_t],Instr([si_narr_t]," ")+1), Instr(Mid([si_narr_t],Instr([si_narr_t]," ")+1)," ")-1))
Due to users not putting the correct information in I will get the #Error in the results of the query.
I need to do a DateDiff on the results so I need to get rid of any values that come up with #Error.
Since I cannot ensure the date extracted by the query is correct, how do I deal with the error?
Setup
i have a form (frmCustomers) with a subform (sfrmJobs). As you might have guessed, it keeps track of customers and jobs. One customer may have many jobs. within sfrmJobs are about 300 or so controls for about 300 or so fields (mostly yes/no boxes) and at the moment contains two subforms of its own. customers have an autonumber CustomerID and jobs have a user-entered numeric JobID.
Goal
it has been brought to my attention that some jobs may just not work out and must be deemed as "cancelled." however, my client wishes to retain these records rather than delete them. in order to maintain the integrity of the reports, i would like to remove these records from the non-cancelled customer database and place them elsewhere, but still retain the ability to review them if need be (but NOT to modify them).
Problem
the job can be cancelled at any point down the line, meaning that a job could have nearly no info or nearly all the info, and everything in between. each job record has a ton of fields. i don't know how to cut and paste an entire record (except for doing it field by field, which could take forever in this instance) into a new table. in this case, it would be several records, since i have a list of materials pertinent to each job as well as a list of services necessary for each job - all of which would have to be removed and placed elsewhere.
Cry for Help
what is the best way to go about this? some ideas i had were creating a parallel table for each table used in recording all of the job information and just manually (well, via VBA and recordsets) copying, pasting, then deleting. another is creating a checkbox that when clicked disables every control for the cancelled job (but oy vey that's a lot of controls to code the disabling for) and then have it reflected in my reports that these are only from the NON-cancelled jobs. does anyone else have an idea?
help?
thanks in advance

Hello all,
Ok, let's see if i can explain this so that anyone trying help can understand. I have a form that's unbound (Music) with a subform (Arist Info)that is bound. The subform also contains two other Subforms (bound). The subform (Artist Info) contains a few Macros set up to do
some general searches with some Option groups and also one cmb box with vb code that access wizard wrote up. They all work great, with no problems at all when I open up the subform all by itself. It's when Main form is open where i run into some glitches. In then option groups all tgl & radio buttons work with exception to the two named ALL. I get a ballon message stating There is no field named
'GenreGroup or AlphaGroup' in the current record. Genre and AlphaGroup are the names of the option groups. The cmb box dosen't even work at all. There ars some other problems also but i'll ask for help later if i can reslove this. LOL I've attached a bare bone sample db to look at. I thought I was doing great learning new things every day, till I ran into this one.
Thanks for your help

I have a database that was populated using many excel sheets and one of the fields [partDescription] uses the # character over and over to represent "lbs". I realize that this is a wild card for digits in VB. Is there a quick fix for finding and replacing this character?

I have a form that I designed that contains two subforms.The first subform is an entry subform so you can post the current client visits.The second subform I want to just display all prior client visits and make updates or deletions if needed.
It does not appear that I can make the first subform entry= yes additions allowed=YES in the properties.The second subform I want entry=No and addition=no..When I pull up the properties sheet for each of the subforms these options do not appear. They appear only on the main FORM, FORM property sheet. I thought I could create two new forms with the properties I desire and then copy them into the main form.
Hi all,
I am in desperate need of some advice. Today I set to work building some math functions in my queries to calculate delays/turnaround times for work, etc.
I have found that where there are null values in my table - the calculation seems to break down.
Let me explain...
In it's simplest form (I have removed some fields and will deal with DATE only, not TIME which is a seperate field) I have the following -
Date_Received
Date_Started
Date_Pended
Date_Recommenced
Date_Completed
I have the following expressions in my query -
Turnaround: Date_Completed - Date_Received
TimePended: Date_Recommenced - Date_Pended
TimeInactive: Date_Started - Date_Received
Workrate: Turnaround - (TimePended + TimeInactive)
The query calculation will only work when all fields contain a value.
For instance, sometimes the work may be started, then completed. Skipping the 'Pended' and 'Recommenced' steps.
Can anyone tell me what I need to include in my maths for Access to treat a null value in the table as zero? Or any other approach.
Please help!!!!!
Thanks

Hello everybody, it's been a while since i wrote on the forums and yet again I am in the need to ask for the help of this wonderful community.
I have a form on which is a button that I want when pressed to open a Windows Explorer window displaying the contents of a directory.
The exact way that I want this thing to work is like this : The user is browsing a form of lets say client details and on the form lies the button that when pressed will take the client's name and apply it to the path in order to open that Windows Explorer window and create a path like C:program filesclient name and display the contents of that window.
I would like if possible someone who can point me as to how I can construct this button to work cause I cant see to get it done.
Many thanks for your time :)
