I have just solved one problem concerning creating hyperlinks based on values in other fields: See Previous Thread (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=124590)
but now I have another, the hyperlink I have created links to a document, while for the majority of time it is a word document it is not always, occasionally .xls or .pdf
So I need a way of building into the hyperlink code the file extension, my thoughts are it would involve check boxes and if statements (one check box for each) but I am unsure of how to do this, can anyone help?
My code is currently:
Private Sub H_Enter()
Form!H = "hyperlink#C:Documents and Settingscew1My DocumentsWORKSpecs" & Form!S & Form!PC & ".doc#"
End Sub
Is 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.

one record: 0RD00S101 this has to be changed into: EDH01-RD00S101

Several post in the recent past asked the question of how to package the db for distribution and how to run the Access db in computer not installed with Access. Before Access 2007, you must purchase another program for about one thousand dollar to do this. Microsoft now offer these two programs "Developer Extensions" and "Runtime" for free. The Developer Extension is a program that will package your db into an installation disk. You can package the Runtime program in the install disk for users that use computers without Access 2007. Here are the links to the MS website for the download.
I have around a hundred tables all with exactly the same format and headings that i would like to combine into one long table, but the copy-paste append data to table function doesn't do what i had hoped. How can I join my tables together? And is there an easy way to do all 100 at once?
Greeting All, I am trying the beta version of Access 2007 and realize that when converting Access 97 to Access 2007, the new db in Access 2007 has an extension of .accdb. I rename the db file name to xxxxx.mdb and the VB app fails to recognize it.
Is there any way to convert the xxxx.accdb (Access 2007 beta) to xxxx.mdb so that I can try my app against the Access 2007 db?????
How would one go about scanning a hard drive for all mp3 files (i.e. *.mp3) and importing all of the titles into a database? I'm sure the dir function comes into play, but it seems to only handle "current" directory and not sub directories.
I was just curious is all..... haven't really dabbled that much in the file/directory functions.
I have a pretty basic TransferSpreadsheet module that works well except that if the Zip code has the four digit extension, it's not importing.
Option Compare Database
Dim myCheck Function MeridianLinkFileImport() DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "tbl_MeridianLinkFileImport", "R:DEPT-BRCONSUMER LENDINGMarketing Campaigns2014 Auto Loan PrescreenReport from LoansPQ.xls", True, "Sheet1!A3:AO50000" End Function
If there is no extention, it is importing fine... 85086 works fine but 85018-4710 doesn't import.

in my table, i have a field type set to hyperlink.
I'm sending a hyperlink address to the table using ADO.
the control property is set to hyperlink yes on the form.
i then display the captured information in a subform data sheet with the filed property set to hyperlink yes. It displays as it should (in blue and underlined) ... but the hyperlinks aren't working. I click on it and nothing happens. If I right click on the hyperlink and "edit" the hyperlink address is missing.
But...
If i go into the table and reset the field to text, save it and then reset it back to hyperlink.... presto is all seems to work. Now when I edit the hyperlink... the address is there. Weird!!
something isn't right. I shouldn't have to do this. I'm being driven mad.
I am new to Access, what is the hyperlink feature in Access ?..is that used to store hyperlinks in their native form ?, am creating a small application where a column is a hyperlink column, this when output to the page should take the use to the correct link. It's part of a news feed program.
I have the forms/HTML all done up to accept and to store the info, it's only the display area that i have a problem with. There are 3 cols in the db, one is an ID, one is a short desc, and the last one is the URL (this is the actual hyperlink).
I created a table with one field being a hyperlink
I created a query to query out specific fields including the hyperlink.
I then create a subForm on a form and point to the query.
Everythign works great except the Hyperlink.
It just stops working....I can Delete the Hyperlink field and recreate it then delete the subform and recreate it and it works once....
But then Stops....any thoughts...
I dont know what else to do...I am currently returning multiple records into a Subform based on a query. I did it this way becuase I can click individual fields, including the hyperlink fields.
If I use a List Box then I can select the whole row.
AnYone know why the hyperlinks stop working...or can throw another idea out there of a better way to do this.
Hi, I have a database I use at work. We have to manual enter in the the hyperlink eg "h:quotes12345.doc". I was wondering if Access can do this for us. I tried to use the combine function eg [open quote] = "h:quotes"&[Quote No]&".doc". This does appear to work it has the the text in blue and underscored but when you try to click the link nothing happens.
