I have a code that has been successfully working, until today. I have a form which I then export as a pdf to a specific folder. I cannot understand why it has suddenly started to throw up the "runtime error 2501 outputto action was cancelled". The line is stops at is
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputForm, "CLA Notice", acFormatPDF, varCombined
I'm trying to export a form to another database. I've tried both simply copy/paste and using the export function. In both cases the form is copied to the other database, but my buttons go missing. Is there a way to move the form to another database and keep it intact?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a form that a user fills out and the record is not uploaded to the database until the user hits the submit button. In other words, if the user closes the form without saving, the record is not inserted.
My end goal is to have the user click the button and have 3 things happen:
1) Record inserted into the database
2) A PDF of the record is saved to a per-identified directory
3) An outlook new message window opens with recipients pre-entered and the newly created PDF included as an attachment.
I can achieve steps 1 and 2 no problem. However, the way I get the PDF is by having the VBA simply print and the user selects the Adobe PDF. This does not let the VBA dictate the directory (or file name) and then makes me completely stumped for step 3.
I have decided to move away from Switchboard in Access 2010, to what I find to be more user-friendly; the Navigation Forms.
However, when I attempt to export any of the data from my navigation forms, the result is a blank Excel sheet. I can easily go into the forms themselves on the left navigation panel and export from there, but when myself or a user attempts to do this from the navigation forms themselves; well, the blank Excel sheet is the result.
How do you create a work-around, so that it is possible to export to Excel from these navigation forms?

I am exporting a single record to a spreadsheet. The code I have works fine. The problem is I want to have the spreadsheet contain the information that is in one of the forms textboxes, in this case a dogs name.
I have created a query to get the dogs name which works but I dont know how to get that query to run and then be put in the file name.
The code that I have is below
Code:
Private Sub btn_ExportDog_Click()
Dim strday As String 'The date
Dim sDest As String 'Where the file will be copied to
Dim sSource As String 'The name of the file to be copied
Dim strDogName As String 'The name of the dog that is geting exported
Dim strBackUp As String
strBackUp = "c:GPandDetectionDogTrainingLogBackUp"

All, using access 2010. I am using this code to make a folder upon exporting a query to excel:
Code:
sPath = "C:Directorymainfolder" & Format(Date, "yyyy mm dd") & "folder"
MkDir sPath
It works however I need a space between the date and the folder. But when I use "", it tells me path doesn't exist. get a space in the name when creating the folder.
I have a form that pulls a number of records from a number of different tables. I want to see basically the same information in a report. Is it possible to export the set up to a report so I don't have to build a report from scratch?
Thanks,

Hello Access People,
I am sure this has been answered but i can not find it after searching all day.
I have a main form called "Main Form", then a sub form call "DPriority Assessment" on the main form i use this to filter the results, of only the data for one report shows and the results follow all works this far.
I am using a button to export the results from my sub form in to a word document, the data is copy over ok, but the page setup keeps changing from A4 to Letter, and the page changes from Landscape back to portrait, i have checked my printer setting and the setting in both word and access all looks fine.
I am not sure if some kind of code is need but i am not sure were or how to go about this. If anybody has any ideas i would be grate full or examples would be better.
Kind Regards

When equipment is returned to our company the details are put into an access database, then the same details are filled into a excel sheet to be printed and handed around for other depments to fill in by hand then sign. I have been asked to see if it is possible to alter the database so that the appropriate parts of the excel sheet could be filled in automatically. You can see an example below, its only the sales section that comes from the database the rest is filled in by hand.
Is it possible to setup a query that would ask for say the RER number and serial number to find the correct record then export the data to fill in the right cells; or is it easier for me to try and recreate the excell sheet as an access report and have it filled in that way.

View 11 Replies View RelatedI'm having an issue where when I attempt to export data from an Access database to an excel spreadsheet using VBA it truncates any field longer than 255 characters to the 255 limit. I'm using
Code:
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12, "tableName", "FilePath", True, ""
to export it (obviously with the table name and filepath filled in) but for some reason I cannot get it to export the entirety of the field to excel. I've been doing some digging on various forums around the internet and it seems as though it may be possible to split it into various excel cells then use automation to concatenate the cells. But considering this field I am trying to get not truncated can be up to 40,000 characters theoretically, it doesn't make sense to do it that way.Do you need more information from me? I'm somewhat new to both Access and VBA.
Hello All,
I have 2 reports that are exporting to 2 different .txt files. Currenlty, I am using the transfertext function in access. What is the best way to combine these 2 reports into one .txt file? I have 2 different specification criteria being used, but I need all the data in 1 report.
Thanks in advance,

What I want to do is to export about 300 rows of records at a time from a table to a text file (text001.txt). The next 300 will be in text002.txt and so forth.
What I am doing right now is -- I am looping through all the fields [rs(0)-rs(50)], put in a variable and then print to the text file then go to the next row.
Is there a way to print the whole row to a text file instead of looping through all the fields then print it.
Thanks.

Hi,
Does anyone know how I can get a table thats been sorted by a specific field to export to .txt in its sorted format? For some reason whenever I have it sorted by one field and save its new formatting, it exports sorted by another field. Keep in mind it exports the way the table was originally sorted when it was first created.
Anything?

I was just wondering if anyone knows of any way to export email addresses held within an access database to Outlook, using office 2000?
I work for a small charity who have a very large contacts database in access, but are now starting to send some of our info electronically and it would be a major time saver if we could send email addressed directly to outlook.
Hello. I've searched around the board and help files and couldn't find a straight answer for this. I have 7 or 8 different queries. Is there a way to export Query 1 to Sheet 1 of my excel workbook, then Query 2 to sheet 2 of the workbook, and so on? Thanks.

I am exporting a table into a text file. I have an intrest rate that is formatted in the table as as five characters past the decimal point xx.xxxxx. However, when I export it to a text file, I loose my 3rd through 5th position. Any ideas on how I can export to text and still keep all five positions past the decimal? The field is currently formatted as a double number in Access. Thanks for your input.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI often have to export data from a table to a .csv (text) format. It is very important that the data remains in the right order. I even add an indexed auto number to ensure this happens. Sometimes, but not always, the data gets out of order. Not completely scrambled but chunks of records just in the wrong place.
Has anyone come across this before or got any idea what causes it?
