hi all
i want to export a data base to a flash stick.
Rather than export the database to a predetermined drive letter (because all computers are configured differently), I'd like the windows "my computer dialogue" window to appear so that the user can choose which drive to save to.
Any idea how I can do this?
Thanks
By the way, my FO line manager wants an IT report, i am wandering if there is any possibility to search and export users. The report should show in the status column who are disabled, who are enabled, date created and date expired in date column in active directory windows server 2003 environment?
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy workaround was to temporarily map the URL to a vacant drive letter on the local machine, then copy the file over, then drop the mapped drive again. A bit clunky but doesn't incorporate much of a delay and this download only has to happen once per day.
The good news is, the file download / copy now works every time. The bad news is that removing the temporarily mapped drive after the copy has taken place, doesn't and I can't figure out why.
Here are the functions I use to map / unmap the drive :
Code:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Const RESOURCETYPE_ANY = &H0&
Private Const CONNECT_UPDATE_PROFILE = &H1&
Private Const RESOURCE_CONNECTED As Long = &H1&
[Code] .....
I have separate functions to check existing drive mappings on the local machine and thus determine an appropriate vacant letter to use for the temporary mapping - they work fine.
Unfortunately the UnMapDrive function returns False (even though I switch the active drive to C: and force the connection to be cancelled with the fForce flag) So the mapping always remains on the users profile.
I don't want to permanently map drives on the users' profiles, just briefly for the purposes of this daily file download.
Is there any way to 'Export' the selected column (user selected columns) as CSV. I have attached a mockup (screenshot) that gives a clear thought about the scenario. The 'User' will be able to select the 'Columns' for the export of 'tblInventory' and by clicking 'Export as CSV' button will export the 'Selected' columns as CSV.

I'm attaching a small sample DB, so you can see what I have so far.
The Export function, or the update record functions.
First off I apoligise if this is a clear answer. I have looked on the internet for the last two days and can't seem to find this anywhere, either that or I am just entereing the search parameters in wrong :confused:
I have filtered selection in a form which I want to export to excel.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a website that is asp (not .net) based with an Access DB and I am in the process of replacing an old windows 2000 server with a much faster windows 2003 server. Here lies the problem I have a script as part of the admin that exports data to a csv file. The query joins 4 tables together to get the data needed for the export. On the windows 2000 server it takes 1-5 seconds to execute and have the csv file ready for download. On the window 2003 server it times out. I striped it down to use 2 joins and it worked although it took more like 10-20 seconds to export. This exports a specific range of ID's and the range is normally only 40-50 rows. If I put time stamps in the code the problem is in the query of the database, so I know its not in the file write etc.
I am going to rewrite it to use multible querys instead of one large query, but I have many other sites that I am moving to this server that would work better if I can figure out why it is so slow.
The windows 2000 is a 900 mhz server the windows 2003 is a 2.8GHZ server both have 1 GIG of ram. The database file is on the local drive on both servers. I am guessing it is a difference in the Jet version, I just haven't been able to find a solution to the problem. This uses a DSN connection, configured the same on both servers. I have also tried it as a DSN-less connection with the same result.
I have installed access on the server and to execute the command in access it is <2 sec.
I am not an access expert I normally program in .net and php and use MySQL and MsSQL for databases, we just have these legacy sites that use Access DB's
I recently made a search form using the Like ""*" & [Forms]![search]![Text0] & "*" Or Is Null" in the Criteria. Now when I open the querie it opens a dialoge box that say's "enter paramiter value" then it has a little text box to put in the values for the criteria. but I don't want these boxes to come up how can I get rid of these?

If you need more of an explaination. I am trying to create a form for a user to be able to select the document needed to be imported into the database.
Hello,

Code for displaying the Word Print dialogue box instead of sending it straight to the printer.
I have the following code:
'Open Word
Set objWord = New Word.Application
'Letter document would be open
Set objletter = objWord.Documents.Open(strletterpath & strworddoc)
objletter.MailMerge.OpenDataSource (strletterpath & strletterfile)
objletter.MailMerge.Destination = wdSendToPrinter 'normally print
Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrint).Show
objletter.MailMerge.Execute
'not normally here
'objWord.Visible = True
This is to produce a mailmerge based upon a query.
Previously on Access 2000 and Word 2000 it would display the print dialogue box, but I am trying to upgrade it all to 2013 and this does not do it now with Access 2013 and Word 2013.
Hi All,
This is my problem -
My customer has Access programs that work on their Windows 98 OS PC's, but when they try to use them on Windows 2000 OS PC's they will not work.
The programs I believe were originally written in Access 97 and now they have Access 2000 on the PC's.
By not working I mean the following -
The Access program allows them to enter a document name and then the file opens in Word - BUT - when they use it in Windows 2000 it does not open the document at all. It says file not found in Windows 2000 and the file does exist.
** The reason they have Access opening files is that Access keeps track of them for auditing purposes.
Now here is something that I want to mention. On PC's that were upgraded from Windows 98 to Windows 2000 the programs work.
Can anyone here tell me what is missing from 98 to 2000 that would do this.
Thank you very much for your time.
I want to open the 'Save Backup As' Dialogue Box from the file menu, using a Command Button on a Form in Access 2003.I know you can do this manually but I would love to do it programically.

I have an exrternal shared drive "E:"where I put my be files (which are constantly accessed by users with fe's from different terminals). Everytime
I reboot the computer that I am working on (where the external drive is), I have to set up the permissions of the shared drive "E:" all over again, otherwise other computers have no access to E. Is there a way that I could
fix this and not having to set permissions every time I reboot my computer?
For some reason, the permissions are lost.
I have a db on a network drive and the performance is terrible, it runs fine on my local machine. How can I make it run better? The db is only 2 megs so I figured it would be ok, but since my forms have numerous queries within them, performance stinks.

Does anyone know if Access has a built-in control that allows users to scan the directory structure of their PC? Similar to the DriveListBox and DirListBox controls in VB6? If so, how might I get access to it?

Is there a way to verify the drive that an FE is opening from and then close if it is not where is should be?
I have a frontend that gets copied to each users C: drive by a .bat file. However, some just don't care about rules and proceedures and continue to open the frontend on the network drive. Since they map their drive to a specific letter drive for the BE that is where they are opening the FE from.
Thanks

Can I keep my queries in the C drive and execute it against tables that are in the LAN network drive ? Right now the queries are also in the netowrk drive. So each time when I refresh the data into C drive, I have to import the queries too.
Is it possible to keep the queries in the C drive and execute against data in the netowrk ? Please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Hello all:
I have the following code to retrieve doucments:
strPath = "G:CorpCustomer Files"
Application.FollowHyperlink strPath & "" & textbox1 & "-" & textbox2 & ".doc"
This works fine from my computer because the shared drive on my computer is saved on the G drive.
I tried using the code from a coworker's computer, but got an error because her shared drive is : "X:CorpCustomer Files"
Basically anyone can access the Corp server through any drive depends on how it was mapped.
How do I get around this so that it works from any computer as long as the user has the Corp share drive?
Thanks much.
What I have is a bunch of files located in another Drive (PDF). I would like to link to them by id number from access.
Is this possible?
Hi.
I have been searching previous threads and the help file and got half way, but have got stuck.
I want to copy all files from a floppy disk to a drive on a directory on a server. I can check to make sure the directory exists and if not, can make it. All I want to do is copy all the files from the floppy disk drive (A drive) to the direcory I have just created.
I got this from the help in access:-
FileSystemObject.CopyFolder "c:mydocumentsletters*", "c: empfolder"
but can't get it to work......is this the way I want to go?
Can anyone help?
Thanks.
Frank.
I have an MS Access database that sits in the users local area e.g. C:Users....
I have the following code which will open a user guide on a server shared by all users.
Code:
strFilename = GetUNCPath("T:") & "19_InformaticsInternal Offer Transfers" & "Utility User Guide.doc"
Users have different drive letters for the server name. In my case it's "T:" but for others it may be"S:".
Is there any code which would determine what drive letter each user has? The server name is
