Form Export?
Oct 18, 2006Hey all,
I'm working on an invoice system in Access and I had just wondered if there was a way I could export a form to a format I could distribute to clients? (pdf, html...etc) thanks!
Hey all,
I'm working on an invoice system in Access and I had just wondered if there was a way I could export a form to a format I could distribute to clients? (pdf, html...etc) thanks!
I have the form (PROJECT DETAILS) that displays a specific record's information, one record at a time.I would like to click a button to export 5 specific fields (name, phone, address) of that form ("Project Details"), based on the PK "AssignNr", and then insert those fields in an already created Excel form that has those fields blank, but other fields filled in.
And then, as part of the same macro, I want to have the Print pop-up come up in the Excel form to select where/how that file will get printed.I've tried exporting from the Project Details form, but it exports all the records. And then I am not sure how / where to code the vlookup formula (if that's even necessary) to take the data from the exported file, into the existing Excel form that needs to be filled in.
Can this even be done in one macro, or do I need to create two - one to export data from Access to Excel. And then another in Excel to vlookup the details from the exported file, into the existing Excel file.
It would be nice if I didn't have to put in what the vlookup criteria is. (i.e. AssignNr (which is the PK)) - if it could just be taken from the PROJECT DETAILS form's current record selection.
Hello,
Does anyone knows how can I export the export/import specifications (which file/directory) and how can I import/export the specifications between different versions of Access. Thanks!

I am new, as you can see this is my first post. I have been reading different posts, but couldn't find a solution to my problem. Actually, I have created a table and around five forms, now each form is connected with that table. I can input the information through those forms into the table, now the only problem is this I want to transfer the information into differnt forms using the combo drop down menu, when the selection will be made it will transfer the information into the other or it will freez it into that form.
for e.g. I have made new, active, deal etc forms, I have made a drop down menu using combo which has these options in it as these are not only the forms name they are processes too. As the new deal comes in, it will be kept into new process for 30 days, after 30 days it should be moved to deal forms automatically, how would that be possible. And I want that to be frozen in that form. Other question is, how is it possible to hide the table from users, that they wont be able to make changes into table. Third question, once the info is inputed into the form no user should be able to delete that or overwrite it. And my last question is in regards to security, how is it possible to keep one user login into the database at one time, so no other user can login into that database or make changes.
I would really appreciate your help.
I hope I haven't conufused you guys.
Thanks
Hope someone can shed some light on this.
I have imported the contents of my database into a new database, as all the testing is completed and want a clean start without any dummy data in it or anything. My main form which is where most of the interaction with the database goes on appears blank with no controls on it on form view. In design view, I can see everything (buttons, search fields, subforms etc) but turn into form view, it's blank (except the header). Does anyone know why this happened?
is there a simple way to get my access form into VB?
I have vb.
do I have to redo everything?
They really should have made it so you could export the form as a .vb or .frm file so you could open and alter it in the real VB!
Grr.. microsoft!
Please say there is a way!
I want to make my form executable. Thanks in advance
After a user completes a form, they click a button at the end that uploads the information the back-end database and creates a PDF copy using the DoCmd.OutputTo function. It has been working fine, but one user just had an issue where the form was very zoomed in and cut off. So I have 2 questions:
1) What is the cause of this problem? Is it based on screen resolution?
2) Is there a way to fix the problem to make sure it does not happen?
In access i want to create a button that can export a form to a .pdf file i know this is possible true VBA, and i tried to google but all those vba codes do not work.

1. Select Product (combobox) or All Products (CheckBox)
2. Product Type (3 different checkboxes)

Export Query Data with Formatting and Layout Using A Button On Form Before Or After DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet
View 4 Replies View RelatedCurrently, I have a database situation in which I am working in one database with data. If this data does not belong in this database I need to be able to take specific fields from the record and insert it into either a new table in a different database I have, or have it copied to a blank form that would accept it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been at this for almost 3 weeks now and I'm having great difficulties trying to get this right and working. First let me explain what I am doing and what I am trying to do.
Firstly, I am making a Maintenance database using MS access software, what I have are tables, forms and no queries or report existing so far. The forms and tables all work correctly.
After the form (Job request) has been completed I need to save/export into PDF so I am able to hyperlink it against its existing asset card elsewhere.
now what I have done is Created button, on event "on click" I have tried to go to macro builder
ExportWithFormatting
Objet Type: Form
Object Name: FrmMachineFault/GenMaint
Output format: PDF
Output file:
Auto Start: No
Template File:
Encoding:
Output Quality: Print
when I click this button it opens to save to and it works perfectly but I have to manually type the file name when it gets to the Save to section.
What I want it to do is define the name by the existing fields in the open form. Example Closed date, Effected area, Asset and title.
What I am hoping for is something like this.
10/07/15_Foundry_Furnace_LPG_Leak
(Closed date)_(Effected Area)_(Asset)_(Tittle)
Is this possible?

This may be a real dumb question but is there any way to view/edit an existing export specification for the transfer text macro? I'm reviewing someone else's database and can't figure out how to view it.

I can’t find a way to manage this. Any suggestions??
Hi:
I want to automate the XML export function of Access and not sure if it is possible or how to do it. In going through the menu bar (File ->Export) interface, I must choose the root table, and then subsequent tabbed windows allow one to select what tables to be exported, if I want the schema to be generated, the target filename, etc.
Instead of having to go through this large selection process, I'd like to write a script that I can run consistently over the same tables, produce the same file name, etc. Can anybody provide a suggestion/code/pointer on how to accomplish this? Thanks in advance.

I have one workstation that errors when code get to a line where I try to export a report to an rtf file. The error message says something like 'Cannot execute export command'. It works on other workstations and I can even manually export the report to an rtf file - Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ok I am exporting some data to a plain text file and one of the fields I am outputing can vary in the number of characters and I need they to have the same number of characters all the time.
Ex: 123.00 => 000012300
456789.00 => 045678900
I had heard of a command, but I can't remember what it was...I could do a loop till LEN() = 9 but that would cause undue clock cycles (aka performance hit) on the machine when running through the export routine.
This is a huge export of data.....
Thanks,

I'm trying to find a way to export the structure of a table in my Access database.
I created a new table and I want to put it in the database on my website. However, my site is constantly being used so I have no way of downloading the database, modifying it, and then uploading it again without losing some data.
I do have a database editor on my website that allows me to run queries. So If I can get a query with all of the CREATE TABLE information (all the fields, whether they are Allow Zero Length, etc.) then I can just use that.
I can't seem to find a way in Access 2000 to export the structure of the table.
Guys,
I have a list of account numbers.
A0010
N0103
C0123
etc. etc.
All in field in DB. called CLI_CLIENTCODE
I would like to output them into a text file as "A0010", "N0103", "C0123"
Background is that I have set up a DB that connects to an Oracle DB and where we have an email address for a client it emails a PDF file to that client.
Prior to this emailing we used Crystal and we will continue to do so for those without email, the format above is Crystal Filter and I can copy paste the above straight into a filter blocking them from creating a printed statement.
Your assistance would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Rob
