I have a form set up and I am looking to:
Set up a txtbox that will house a variable (no worries)
I want a button that when clicked to open a "MS Windows window" that allows the user to navigate to a folder. When done I need that path to be placed in the textbox I set up (Or to a variable)
Does that make sense?
I thank you all for your help it is very appreciated.
Thanks Again
Hi all
How can I change the output string in the command below to simply save the document to the same folder that the DB resides??
DoCmd.OutputTo acQuery, "qryAwardsExportWord", "RichTextFormat(*.rtf)", "C:dataawards.doc", True, "", 0
any help is appreciated
I am trying to link an images (.png) onto a form. I have a folder of all the images I want but I want the path to be relative. So that if I move the access file and the images folder to a new location, it will still work.
In the properties for the image, It works fine as C:UsersjohnDesktopimage1.png but what I am looking for is the ability to use "imagesimage1.png" as the file will always be in that relative folder to the db.
What is the correct syntax for this? putting image1.png in the same directory and just using image1.png works, but this won't be very tidy with 100+ images.
I have tried:
imagesimage1.png
imagesimage1.png
imagesimage1.png
With PictureType set as linked.
I know from searching it is possible through VBA by getting the root directory of the folder and appending the filename. Don't really want to go this root. I also don't particularly want to create a table to store the images or links.
I have some code that takes data from my database and creates an email with it. It also creates a folder and a word document. In the email, I would also like to include the file path as a link instead of just the path that it puts there now. Is this possible to do?
Code:
Option Compare Database
Private Sub SendEmail_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_open_word_Click
Dim oApp As Object
Dim path As String
[Code] .....
I am using MS Access 2010. I have a code that I am using that loops through a folder gather all the names of the files in the folder and inserts them into a table (shown below). The table is named "tblFiles" there are two columns in the table titled file name and file path. What I want to do is to also loop through the same folder to find the file path of the files and insert them into the file path column has a hyperlink where users can just click on the hyperlink and the file opens.
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim fs, f, f1, fc, s
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("tblFiles")
[Code] .....
I have the code below and I want it to open a file from my documents folder. The only problem is that every computers path is different to this folder. Any easy way to work around and open a file in My Documents without the full path?
I want to eliminate the part of the path in red and make it universal because computers will have a different number.
Operating System: Windows 7
Code below:
Public Function AddITARPicOffloadAnalysis()
Dim xlApp As Object
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
With xlApp
Dim wb As Object
Dim ws As Object
Dim Lastrow As Long
[Code] .....
I have a folder which holds 1000s of pictures organised in subfolders, for example:
D:~AI Database Print Scans2009family and
D:~AI Database Print Scans2009holiday
And so forth. In total at the moment 17 main subfolders, each of which hold another 2-3 subfolders.
I am putting together a database to bring pictures together with all sorts of details. I import the picture via hyperlink and complete the various fields. All that works fine but there are a lot of pictures! And it gets confusing to see which ones have already been entered into the database and which ones haven’t.
One solution for this is to copy the pictures that have been “completed” to another folder. I have found a way to do that:
Dim fs As Object
Dim oldPath As String, newPath As String
oldPath = Forms!frmPrintDetails.txtPath1
newPath = "D:~AI Database Print ScansCompleted_Entries"
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
fs.CopyFile oldPath, newPath
Set fs = Nothing
Works fine, but the problem is that I loose the subfolder structure, it copies all pictures to the same main folder. I’d like to maintain the subfolder structure and add code to create the correct subfolders and next copy the picture. With the different paths I’m lost. I don’t know how to extract the correct path in code. I’d also like to either rename or remove the picture once I have completed entry of the details. The problem I have again is that I don’t know how to code for a changing path.
I have used Transfer text cmd to export query to text in MS access. This works fine. path= "D:/test/"DoCmd.TransferText acExportFixed,"Query1",path,False But i need to change the path dyanmically as my wish when i run this query. Like i may save my txt in desktop or C: or D:. I dont want to hard code path as above.
Is there any way to achieve this? If i get the dyanmic location stored in path variable i can achieve it. But i dont know how to achieve this.
Actually i was confused
Docmd.OutputTo acOutputQuery,query1
Above query prompts me for selecting location. But transferText doesn't? why?
As this application is stored on server. If i give a static path, its exporting in Server D:/test/ But i need this to be stored in my local. This can be done only if it prompts box for user to select the location.
After some help from one of the threads here I managed to install a Browse button in a form that inserts a file path to a text box. What I need is the folder path from that file path in another text box. For example if the file path is
C:Documents and SettingsmixupSketchesowl.jpg
I would like to get either
C:Documents and SettingsmixupSketches
Or,
C:Documents and SettingsmixupSketches
in my second text box.
I do not have much experience with Access; therefore please give a little detail on how to accomplish this.
Thanks.
I'm trying to automate a process of selecting a set of file/s and move them in a folder. When I click on a button, it should open a current folder that is setup in the code.
Lets say that I have a folder C:documents est, and very time I click on the button, it should open the dialog box with that path so I can select the files from another folder, drag them there and they will be saved in that folder.
This will form part of wider automation that will send an email stating that those file/s where placed in that folder.
I have in the same form where the button is placed, 3 check boxes that needs to be passed to the email as well that one or all the files where placed in the folder.
Till now I managed to publish and save all in C:Reports. What I'm trying to do is Save to path specified in Path. DB attached.
Private Sub PrintAll_Click()
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim MyPath As String
Dim MyFileName As String
[Code] ....
I'm trying to open a folder based on a BIN nr. This folder could be in a main folder that has diferent subfolder. As there where differnt naming used to create the folderes, one of the things they have always is the BIN nr. It alwasy start with a unique number and maybe I could use it to scan the subfolders and open that one that the BIN nr is equal as in the field BIN.
Now we have serveral 1000th of folders and finding them takes time.
I am creating a 2 level report to confirm an order. Main report already created, runs successfully called as subform/subreport under "OrderDetails" form. Linked to master using Order.ID. There are two versions of the confirmation report that have different layouts for different program types.
The hangup comes when I try to add a "Class Dates" subreport. It lists dates of individual classes and Skip dates. I have created the subreport as "srClassDates". When I add it to the main report, it lists the records. However, when I try to link it to the Main report, an error message box appears with the "object variable or With block variable not set".
I have tried rebuilding both the main and subreports, rebuilt the query, have not found anything that changes the result.
Linker has been working successfully on other subforms. Report with groupings works fine, but I need data from 2 tables both linked to order.id.
Error 91 - Object variable or With block variable not set
I am getting this error telling me that an object variable is not set.
I know which variable it is but when I step through the debugger it sets the variable and all is fine? Issue is that public variable of a class is not getting set when the VBA Editor is not open?
This code runs fine the FIRST time, however trows up a message the SECOND time it is run.
The error is on the line ".Range"
I am trying to sort records which have been exported to Excel.
Dim LR As Integer
LR = 5
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
xlApp.Visible = True

wbRef.Activate
.Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate
With ActiveSheet
.Range("A2", .Cells(LR, "O").End(xlUp)).Sort Key1:=.Range("C2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlYes
End With

I look at a lot of files to see when they were last updated. I wanted to write a generic procedure to manage that so ..
Code:
Public fDate As Variant
Public vField As String
Public vFile As String
'GTSdata
vField = "txt_gts_data"
[Code] ....
What I hoped Me.vField would do is update the date field [txt_gts_data] on my form with the date the file was last saved.
i.e. me. txt_gts_data = fDate
What actually happens is the variable vfield gets updated from "txt_gts_data" to 19/08/2014 then later code falls over because the fieldname is lost .
Me.[vField] corrects itself to me.vField (and does not work)
Me!vfield falls over (cannot find the field vField, not surprising J)
How do I say update the contents of the variable, not the variable itself?
Runtime error '91'
Running Access 2010.
I have two reports running off of the same crosstab query. I copied one report to make the second report, then modified the second report to change the background of column fields satisfying certain conditions. These lines of code were added to the Detail_Format section, in color below. The report with the extra code lines does not error--the original report errors.
Code:
Option Compare Database
' Constant for maximum number of columns EmployeeSales query would
' create plus 1 for a Totals column. Here, you have 9 employees.
Const conTotalColumns = 11
[Code] .....
If I say OK (rather than debug) after the error message, I can then click the button for the report again and it runs without complaint. And, as I said, the report with the added code never errors.
I have a networked database. It is accessed with computers that have both Office 2002, and office 2003. I get the following error message on computers with Office 2003:
"Object variable or With block variable not set"
It happens occasionally and the problem generally fixes itself so I dont think there is anything wrong with my coding.
And when it happens on the computers with office 2003 the ones with office 2002 can open the database fine.
What can be causing this?
Thank you in advance
Good afternoon all,
The following block of code was working great until I came into work this morning. This routine is called from the OnClick event of several combo boxes. When it does, I recieve the error listed above (Object variable or With block variable not set) on line:
If Me.cbxAss_Filter <> "All" Then
Any ideas? I'm running on no sleep in the last 24 hours so I'm sure I'm missing something simple
The code itself checks the contents of a form and builds a string of conditions which I apply to the Form's filter property to filter records.
Code:Public Sub CreateFilter() '************************************************* **** 'Name: CreateFilter 'Purpose: Generate a string to filter the form 'Inputs: None 'Outputs: None 'Instigates: Me.Filter ' 'Updated: 11/30/06 'By: Chris Lounsbury '************************************************* **** 'Vars Dim strFilter Dim lngLength As Long strFilter = Null strFilter = "" 'Each filter box has its own check for contents If Me.cbxAss_Filter <> "All" Then strFilter = "assigned = '" & Me.cbxAss_Filter & "' AND " End If If Me.cbxAction_filter <> "All" Then strFilter = strFilter & "action = '" & Me.cbxAction_filter & "' AND " End If If Me.cbxStatus_filter <> "All" Then strFilter = strFilter & "status_rsrch = '" & Me.cbxStatus_filter & "' AND " End If If Me.Combo34 <> "All" Then strFilter = strFilter & "rims_flags = '" & Me.Combo34 & "' AND " End If If Me.cbxAAMB_filter <> "All" Then strFilter = strFilter & "aamb = '" & Me.cbxAAMB_filter & "' AND " End If 'Check if filter string was built If strFilter = "" Then Me.FilterOn = False Else 'Determine length of Filter String 'minus the trailing ' AND' lngLength = Len(strFilter) - 5 'Chop off ending ' AND' and set the form filter If lngLength <= 0 Then Else Me.Filter = Left(strFilter, lngLength) Me.FilterOn = True End If End If 'debug 'MsgBox (strFilter) End Sub
I get this error message, " object variable or with block variable not set", when I'm in the design view of a form wanting to use the command button wizard. Using a brand new database/blank I imported a table from my database in question. I then tried to make a new form and put a button on it. It worked for awhile but then when I close the database and reopen it to add another button to the same form, I get the error message again. It isn't a problem that is specific to my homeschool database. It affects all the database I use/maintain as well as any new "test" databases I've made trying to figure out this problem. I looked at references before and after the error occurs and there is not difference. I've also looked at code but don't see anything code that requires variables to be defined. In the case of the test database with one table and one form there is no code to look at until I make a button before exiting and even then, I don't see anything weird.
I would appreciate any help you can offer.
I've attached the original database I was working on when the problems began.
Is it possible for a database program to adjust security levels on certain reference libraries when installed on ones computer, thus making all other database act up that are using those libraries?
Thanks,
Kris
I have a split dbase and have been running the backend on a server which was linked using a mapped network drive letter and path.
Now I'm trying to connect it to a path like this. Is it possible?

Trying to get the app path of the database I have open to insert into my connection string. Currently using the following:

Hi,
Ans1:
MyShortcut.TargetPath = "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10Msaccess.exe "
Ans2:
MyShortcut.TargetPath = "C:Program Files..Msaccess.exe "
The Ans1 works fine.
The Ans2 doesn't work.
I want to work the Ans2, because every user machine's Office path is different.
For example:
MyShortcut.TargetPath = "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10Msaccess.exe "
MyShortcut.TargetPath = "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice11Msaccess.exe "
MyShortcut.TargetPath = "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice12Msaccess.exe "
MyShortcut.TargetPath = "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice13Msaccess.exe "
So, I want to create the link with the target
MyShortcut.TargetPath = "C:Program Files...Msaccess.exe "
How can I do it?
Please let me know, thanks.
Hi all,
Can I set the default path for a dialog box to look in when called?
I have a button that allows a user to select a file using the windows select file dialog using the following code:
Dim fd As FileDialog
Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
With fd
.Title = "Select A Text file to Import"
.Filters.Add "Text File", "*.txt"
.FilterIndex = 1
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.InitialFileName = CurrentProject.path
result = .Show
If (result <> 0) Then
Me!txt_path = Trim(.SelectedItems.Item(1))
End If
End With
Is there a way that I can capture the path of the file they select in a separate text box?
Thanks!
Vassago
Anyone know how to find the path of your backend database using VBA code?
I am trying to determine whether the application is using a database via a network path.
