Forms :: Linking A Hyperlink (textbox) To A Photo?

Dec 1, 2014

I may be going about this all wrong but I have a text box that is Hyperlink to a directory that opens fine and gives me access to files that I need. What I want is to place a photo of a particular button I've found (in the form) and on the click event have the hyperlink in the text box activate and open the directory.

1. I can't change the shape of the text box or place a picture within it...

2. I can set the pictures control source as the hyperlink text box but that serves no purpose...

3. I lazy manned it buy making the text box transparent and all the text white then overlay-ed the picture ...it worked but I would like the appropriate way to do this.....being at such a critical stage of my access development......

Modules & VBA :: Browse And Display In Hyperlink Textbox

May 16, 2014

I'm trying to use ghudson's browse button in a form on MS Access. It works well, but I'm running into a tiny bug after implementing it into my database.

[URL] ....

I am able to browse, I am able to select a file, and am also able to have it display into the hyperlink textbox.
However, when I try to click on the hyperlink in the textbox, it does not take me to the file.

To fix the bug, and to get the hyperlink working again, I have to modify the hyperlink within the textbox, then bring it back as it was. (generally, I hit backspace, and replace the letter I removed.)

General :: Using Hyperlink Data Type And Textbox To Get Path

Jul 24, 2014

Im trying create a new form to add our current database that will password protect excel, word and if possible pdf documents when they are dragged onto it.

For now I only have 2 boxes 1 containing the password to be applied and the other to drag the file onto.

I have it all working so once its dragged on it works out if its a word doc, opens a hidden instance of word which then resaves it with a coded password.

The problem comes when change it so the user enters the password to protect it, when they enter a password or click on the drag box it doesn't allow the drag. it seems once they have entered the record the drag option is not available anymore.

Modules & VBA :: Form With Textbox With LinkedIn Profile Address - Hyperlink Opens Twice

Jul 1, 2015

I have a form with a textbox with the "LinkedIn" profile address that I want the user to be able to pull up when they click a command button. It works, except that the link opens twice in two tabs in the browser. I've checked over the code for the whole form, and this code is only being run from the click event of the button, so why would it open the same tab twice? Here's the code:

Private Sub cmd_Click()
Dim ctl As CommandButton
Dim txthyper As String
Set ctl = Me!cmd
txthyper = Me!LinkedIn

[code]....

Forms :: Form That Combines Two Tables With Photo

Oct 13, 2014

I'm trying to create a many to many table (which I know how to do). But this is a little complicated.

I have several photos that are part of my database, so I have them in their own table which contains:

ID
CallName
PhotoType
Source

Computer Link (to where photos are stored on my hard drive)

The photo type comes from another table, one of the types is People.

So I want to have a many to many table so I can connect people photos to places where they live. That's pretty easy, you just put foreign keys for the photo CallName and for the Place Name.

However, I want the person's photo to show up also (in a container I will put on the form). In order to do this, I need to have a field for computer link that is automatically populated based on which Photo Call Name I choose. Can you do that in a many to many form? How?

Frequent Error In Referring / Linking Textbox In Subform From Text Box Within Main Form

Apr 17, 2013

Go to frmInvoice, and you'll see a Net Total box (txtNetTotal) . It's control source is linked to a textbox in the subform fsubInvoiceDetails2 called txtStocktotal. It basically just pulls up all the costs associated with that InvoiceID.

The reference mechanism is as follows: =[fsubInvoiceDetails2].[Form]![txtStockTotal].Now...sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't! Sometimes i've had to use: =forms!fsubInvoiceDetails2!txtStockTotal.

It seems to be very temperamental at times and i'm not fully confident if this can be explained.By way of note, I use express builder normally to input these statements: I go to Forms > ALL FORMS > fsubInvoiceDetails2 > txtstocktotal.

Forms :: Bringing Entered Data From One Textbox On Form To Textbox On Another Form

May 17, 2013

I currently have two froms, "add record" and "add record cont." The reason I have two seperate forms is because when clients create a new record information needs to be saved to two different tables and when creating one from with fields from both tables I ran into many problems. The two tables are named : tblMain, tblFileLoc Currently there is a textbox on both forms named "fileID" the FileID in the first form is from tblMain and is the primary key for that table, the FileID on the second form "Add Record Cont." is just a normal field. When clients enter in the new FileID in the first form "Add Record" and then move onto the next form "Add Record Cont." i need access to bring the entered FileID from the first form and Fill it in the FileID field in the second form. Currently I have tried making the control source for the textbox on the second form = the textbox on the first form but it brought up an error.

Forms :: Hyperlink Button For Each Record?

Jun 25, 2014

I created a table about films and i made a form so i can see each movie in a different record. I wanted to create a button which generates a link to the movie's internet website. But when i create a button i cant put a different hyperlink for each record of the form.

My idea is the button to have a logo of the site so that is why i cant just put a link in a text box. I also tried embedding a hyperlink to a picture but again i had the same problem.. there was only one hyperlink for all the records .

Forms :: Hyperlink MailTo - Also Tries To Go To Webpage

Jan 7, 2014

MS Access 2000 - Quite simply, on a form I have an Email field and I have the "Is Hyperlink" property set to yes. In the On-Click event of this email field I use this single line of code below to open a new outlook (2007) email with the address already entered. Staff will be entering the email address themselves as part of the clients contact details Form.

Code:
FollowHyperlink "mailto: " & [Email]

This is all fine, however access also tracks [URL] .... onto the end of the email address and tries to also open a web page which obviously fails.

Is there something somewhere I can tweak that tells access to always only treat the text in this field as an email address, and when clicked open an email?

Forms :: Hyperlink To Tabbed Form

May 5, 2015

I've set hyperlinks to a couple of forms using the hyperlink address in properties. All works fine, and I've done it this way because the cursor changes to pointy hand when hovering over.

However, I need to navigate to a tabbed form in a main form.

Is there a way of doing this? I've been searching all sorts, and the most probable is to concatenate the destination?

description##Page1#page2... or something like that?

Is this correct?

What ever I've tried doesn't work, this includes ...

adding the main form destination to Hyperlink Address, and tabbed form in the SubAddress (Can't find main form)

Using the hyperlink builder. (Can't find anything)

Objects in this database (Only one form).

Add Staff Photo

Jan 13, 2007

Hi everybody,
Recently I created a database for staff details in my company and I used OLE Object in Data type to make it. The problem now there are more than 500 employees in the company so it is very difficult to scan one by one photo. Is there any way that once I click on command button photo will be detected from scanner and saved directly in the field instead of doing it manually.

Thanks and regards

Forms :: Pass Field Into Hyperlink / Button?

Mar 19, 2013

.I'm trying to pass a field ([txtUPRN]) in a form to a hyperlink or button on the form.

e.g. [URL]

I thought I could add a hyperlink and simply change the part 'jlocation = 26800' to 'jlocation = Me![txtUPRN]' but this would be too easy as it doesn't work. THe URL still opens a web page but displays no data. Do I have to be more explicit as to what I'm passing in i.e. use the full form name or am I going about this the wrong way?

Forms :: Hyperlink Button Run Time Error

Oct 11, 2013

I am attempting to create a form (Access 2013) that will include buttons to open the hyperlink menu to add a hyperlink into a table. It works if you click "Ok" without issue, however, if you click "Cancel" or click on the "X" I get a "Run-time error '2501' - The RunCommand action was cancelled". This is obviously referring to the RunCommand in the VBA code. The code does not reference the cancel or close option of the hyperlink editing box. I don't know how to correct this error.

Code:

Private Sub Command9_Click()
Me.[Hyperlink].SetFocus
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdInsertHyperlink
Command9_Click_Exit:
Exit Sub

[code]....

Also, is there a way to get the hyperlink to populate as the full network path and not the drive letter?
