I am having a proble displaying a .pdf file on a command button action.
Here is the part of my code that calls up the file:
Dim StrProg As String
Dim StrFile As String
StrProg = "C:Program FilesAdobeAcrobat 7.0Reader.exe"
StrFile = "C:Program FilesPolaris Medical Chart Ver3.3example.pdf"
Shell StrProg & StrFile, vbNormalFocus
Exit Sub
I get a file not found error. Any thoughts??
Thanks
In my table of assembly numbers where each assembly number has a set of work instructions as a pdf file. I'm wondering if it is possible to display the pdf file as an object within a form..?
I know its possible to open this document as a hyperlink but I want it to be embedded within the form.
I have to add 2 company logos and a phone graphic to a report.
I can only seem to add one logo and if i try to copy and paste a graphic it just displays the file path.
I recently upgraded a DB from 2003 to 2013 and ran into the following problem.
I have a button that opens a file dialog box and allows the user to upload a file to a predetermined location (and store the address as a hyperlink). I borrowed this code from someone else on here and modified it slightly.
In any case, the button still works, but now when it opens it doesn't have an option for "All files" under file types. So I can upload MS Office files, text files, etc., but not PDF files which are by far the most common types my users upload.
Private Sub Command35_Click()
Dim dd As Integer
Dim fileDump As FileDialog
Set fileDump = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)
dd = fileDump.Show
Dim Yourroute As String
Dim yourrouteName
Yourroute = fileDump.SelectedItems(1)
yourrouteName = StrReverse(Yourroute)
yourrouteName = StrReverse(Mid(yourrouteName, 1, InStr(yourrouteName, "") - 1))
FileCopy Yourroute, "us170fp00dataWBO_Tool_RoomDrawings" & yourrouteName
Me.Drawing_Link = yourrouteName & " # us170fp00dataWBO_Tool_RoomDrawings" & yourrouteName
End Sub
I often create contract using mail merge. I have an access file that I want to use as data source for word file. But it does not automatically.
Please download the attached file !
If there are 1 customer and 1 property, I do not need to do anything. Conversely, if there are many customers and many properties, I take time to manipulate.
Firstly, I open the word file. I have to copy and paste paragraphs that I want. Highlight of the original paragraphs is blue.
Secondly, I click 'Insert Word Field' -> select 'Next Record'.
In short, I wish to use VBA in access file to automatically perform the steps that I have outlined.
I've got the forms and queries in one .accdb file and my tables in a separate .accdb file. The forms file links to the tables in the tables file. The tables file resides in a folder called simply enough C:acc_tables and thats where i browsed to (obviously) when i set up the linkage.
One of the users does not wish (for whatever goddamn reason) to create a C:acc_tables file to stick the tables file in , and wants the tables file in some other folder.. Unfortunately this user does not have the skills to delete the existing links and re-link to the tables file after putting it in the folder he wants.
Where in the file that holds the forms and and queries do i find the path setting to the tables linked file? Can it be changed without deleting links and then re-linking?
hello,
I would like to automate something presently done on a one-by-one basis. Here: a number of text files(containing data) are to be exported into an MS Excel file, with each text file to occupy a different worksheet. Presently, the idea is to use the Data/import external data/import data feature of MS Excel for importing the text files one-by-one into newly created worksheets(within the same workbook).
I would appreciate some advice on how to go about creating a useful MS Access application to achieve the above. I have checked the available Macros in MS Access, but I could not find one to suit my purpose. can anyone pls assist, on how I can get started?

Question: Is it possible, using VBA, to determine the actual Excel file type without opening the file?
I receive data files from other departments. Seems like every time someone changes their download structure, I end up with file types that do not match the download extension (example: xlm file with a xls extension). The files can't even be opened because of this. I think I can fix it if I could figure out how to determine what the file type really is.
I'm using Office 2010.
i had a database that allowed me from a form to store a file location for a record on a form, so i any time i could access the record, and then open the file, usually a pdf, it wasnt stored as a hyperlink, but as long text
i made the mistake of not copying the files for safe keeping when i got a permanent position..i am now back self employed, i need to recreate the database.

I am using the following code to select files using Microsoft Office's file dialog:
Public Function fTestFilePicker() As String
Dim fdFileSelection As Office.FileDialog, lstrFileName As String
Const kInitialFile = "F:TestbedTest.txt"
Set fdFileSelection = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
With fdFileSelection
.AllowMultiSelect = False
[Code] .....
When I execute it, the file picker goes to the right folder but does not highlight the file test.txt even though that file name shows in the File name text box. Is there any way to correct this?
hello everyone, i really need some detailed help as the deadline is approaching and I need to find a solution for this. Any help would be greatly appreciated
I currently have a batch file that ftps a text file from a Red Hat Linux Server to my W2k C:. I would like to make another command in the batch file that imports this text file into an existing access table. I would like the text file to repopulate the table everytime it is imported. I do not want the data added on to the existing data in the table.
Thank you for your time and insight.!!!:)
I'm using Access 2000. When I click the File menu to go to a recently used file, the entire path is shown. With my file system, the File drop down widow is about 50 characters too short to show the entire path all the way out to where I keep my database. Is there a way to shut off the viewing the entire path "feature?"

View 9 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to follow a hyperlink to a file without using a file extension?
I have links being created based on the name of a file, but because I haven't used a file extension it crashes.
I know I can give the user a choice of what the file extension is and add it to the hyperlink, but it's an extra step, and another place for someone to make a mistake.
I'm potentially using 3 different file types, Word, Excel and PDF's.
The hyperlink works if I just reference a drive/folder, or if I add the file extension.
I use a batch file to distribute the front end of a database application. Currently, everytime the user clicks the shortcut on her desktop, the batch file executes and copies the front end from a network location to user's local machine. The FE is updated like every couple of days. The users run the database more frequently.
I would like to modify the batch file so that it checks some attribute of the FE file to decide whether it needs to be updated. I can't rely on file size, since the FE includes temporary tables. I essentially need something like the "tag" property of form controls, only for files. It would be ideal if it was me who sets this property, like "version number". Except it has read without opening the file itself.
I saved my database as ACCDE file which is executable now the problem i am facing is i can't edit my database since i can not view it into design view.

I have a code to relink a 2 backend files at start up. The problem is one of the files is password encrypted.

I'm experimenting with MS Access, and I've successfully split an MDB someone created into two files. I can access the database from 2 computers at once using the front end file connecting to a file server which hosts the _be.mdb file.
Could the _be.mdb file theoretically be on a NAS without any computer attached, or is there some runtime or full version of Access that needs to run on the machine with the back end file?
i have develop an application in Ms Access, now i want to have setup file for that, how a setup file can be created.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm having another one of those days but I'm getting a file path and file name from a dialogbox and forgotten when the VBA property is to return the full file path and file name.
This code works fine for return the filename only:
Code:
Private Sub TEST()
Dim f As Object
Set f = Application.FileDialog(3)
f.AllowMultiSelect = True
If f.Show Then
For I = 1 To f.SelectedItems.Count
MsgBox Filename(f.SelectedItems(I))
Next
End If

Instead of using 'Filename' what else can I use to return what I need?
I need to open and process the data from a text file on the network.
The first 7 characters of the file name will be the same every day.
The rest of the file name will change from day to day.
There will only be one file in the folder that has those first 7 characters.
There are a total of about 120 text files in the folder every day - give or take - including the one I need to open and read.
Hello!
I have been struggling with this problem for a while and I'm so deep into it I can't look at it clearly anymore. I hope someone can give me some advice.
I'm trying to set up an orders database, but instead of one "product" I have a service with many specifications. One service part can have many kinds of inspections, which in turn have many inspection criteria.
That part seems okay to me, I guess. There's a one to many relationship between services and inspections, and a one to many between inspections and criteria. The problem is displaying that in a form in a way that's not confusing to the users - I can't put all that info in one line, and I can't put subforms in continuous forms, the best I can come up with is to have separate subforms that display the inspection types when the part number is selected and the inspection criteria when the types are selected. The users I tested it on are totally confused about it. What's the best way to go about displaying it?
I secretly just want it to look like this!
PartNumber Service Criteria Price
1001 Gauging (for) Length $100000!
(for) Diameter
Sorting (for) Rust
2222 Sorting (for) Rust $10
Maybe that's just as confusing. A fresh perspective would help.
This forum has been such a wonderful resource to me and I've learned a lot. I feel kind of embarrassed posting because I know my questions are access-ignorant, but I'm really having trouble figuring this one out on my own. Thanks for any ideas.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a web based application that loads data from Access97. From the application, I choose the database and it uploads data from the chosen db.
However, after the upload is done, I am not able to open the db again till I shut down my system and start it again. The db is on my local hard disk drive and so there are no rights issues (maybe I am wrong). I also do not see any hanging *.ldb files. I even checked to see if there were any hidden *.ldb files but found none.
Could someone please help me with this issue?
