Am looking to do a treeview type of search to hyperlink to client file/folders on my network. This way I can hide the main file source location in the network and files can just be accessible via Access program search.
So far I found this link [URL] and the 3rd bottom option seems to be the most promising but I cant seem to figure how to accomplish the hyperlinks.
I have been looking into populating a tree-view with folders and files, and have found some great examples for doing this, How ever...I cannot seem to work out how to show files/pictures in a form based on the click event of the tree-view.
I have managed to do an onclick event for the files in the tree-view, but I cannot seem to get the onclick event for folders in a tree-view.
Here is an example which I am working on at the moment, but get the error Object variable Or with block variable not set.
Code:
Private Sub tvw_Click()
Dim tClient As String
Dim tParent As Scripting.folder
Dim fd As Scripting.folder
Dim fNode As MSComctlLib.Node
[Code] .....
Hi all
Brand new on here and desparate for some help and guidence.
So far with Access I have just used it as a store of addresses to mailshot prospective clients.
However, I now need a more complex database and this is where you might be able to help.
First things first, most of my clients are in universities. This means that I can be used by more than one person in more than one department at a university.
Does this mean I need to do three tables:
1/ "University Details" which gives the address details
2/ "Department" storing the departments of the unis we work for
3/ "Client" Name of the client(s) in that department.
After this how do I link them?
Thanks

I have a form for rentals where I have fields for car details and for client details. I have a list box for clients so that when I enter the Client Id I automatically get all the records filled out on the form, from the clients table...
This works but the problem is that sometimes I have a new client who rents a car that is not on the database so I insert the client details manually on the rentals form without filling in the client ID as this client does not exist on the database.
The problem comes when I want to save the form it wont allow me to leave the client ID field blank... I imagine this is because of the relationship...
How do I go about emailing a report to a Client selected from a combo box on a form?

Quick question,
Is it possible to change the default color & weight of the headings on the tab folders? If so, I can't find it. :(

Hello,
I am sorry to post this as I did do an extensive search through the forums. I am looking for a way to link images to a form from an image folder I have created outside my database. As I said, I did do a search and there is a lot of information listed. For some reason, I understand non of it. I am a bit of a novice as my personal database is quite simple.
Below is a screen grab from my database showing how I want to link my images; how I want them to look. This image is taken from an old incarnation of my database when I thought I was linking images but in fact was storing them on my computer. Like I said, I am sorry to bring this up but all of the help is a little over my head, of someone would not mind telling me VERY simple steps to achieve what I want to do, I would be very appreciative.
I want to be able to have the pictures change for each record.

I'm trying to get a complete list of folders within a given Folder but can only get it down to the level of the main folders sub folders but should a sub folder also contain folders it misses these.
My code below builds a list like:

This function is used to fill a combo box
Function ShowFolderList() As String
Dim fs, F, f1, S, sf, All, AF, FC, sb, sb1, sbf, sbc
Dim Lst As String
Lst = ""
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set F = fs.GetFolder(Me![FoldersRoot] & Me![StartInFolder])
Set sf = F.SubFolders
For Each f1 In sf
Lst = Lst & f1 & ";"
Set sb = f1.SubFolders
For Each sb1 In sb
Lst = Lst & sb1 & ";"
Next
Next
'Now Remove The Last ; If Their
If Right(Lst, Len(Lst)) = ";" Then
ShowFolderList = Left(Lst, Len(Lst) - 1)
Else
ShowFolderList = Lst
End If
End Function

Is there a good way to let Access be the database for collections of files and folders (on a Windows PC) that would organize projects and give information about the files. When I say information I mean description, progress(check in & check out duration of work, and timers), and location. I think this would work with organizing our projects and knowing what file is the current one we should be working on when we have many. A while ago I was working in FileMaker and noticed that one of there template options said "Collection of Files".
View 1 Replies View RelatedStill fighting to understand a darn thing about treeviews.
What I was hoping to do was create a kind of knowledge base that I could integrate into a larger database I'm using.
I wanted for each entry to have a category, short description and then longer details. Then for the treeview to display each item grouped by category.
So in the treeview, you'd click on Category 1 and it would display every knoweldge base item that is in category 1. Click on any of those nodes and have the subform change to display that knowledge base item.
I have NO idea how to design the treeview to do this. But have laid out the database to do just about everything else.
Any help?
the code below sends 3 reports to a folder that the vba creates if needed. I would like to change it so the 3 reports go to different folders and creates a folder with the customer name in each of the below folders if needed at present it looks table with one folder address is as I dont know how to make it look up the 3 different records in that table so I would like to just put the 3 folder address in the code

I am using Access 2010 and I am fairly new to it (started using it for work).
I have a table with a bunch of a agreement numbers (134) and I need to link each one to its folder on our company's shared G drive. The agreement numbers all follow the format A12.## (Where ## is the number of the agreement going from 1-134).
So I have the path to get to the location of all the agreement files, and I know there has to be a faster way than to edit each individual hyperlink, I myself just don't know how to do it.
Also the files on the shared drive start with the A12.## but then also continue with the name of the agreement. I was thinking that somehow for each record you could apply all at once the same path to the agreements and then for each individual record get it to search for its closest matching agreement number?
I have over 500 folders that contain XML files in each folder. I need to go through each folder and append the data from the XML files into my database.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI just discovered TreeView Controls after browsing through this site today...in a word, awesome!
I've done alot of searching, and it seems that most of the discussion on TreeView is at a data level.
What I am wondering is if a TreeView can be used as a database navigational pane...ie switchboard, where the nodes are comprised of individual forms and/or reports, that when clicked, opens the associated form/report?
Does anybody have a sample db where this is being done or can somebody give me some tips on doing this?
I have a sample treeview.mdb in 2000, and I can freely create the parent and child nodes. That is the extent of my knowledge. I don't know how to make the nodes "actionable".
I appreciate all the advice!
Hi All,
I've been trying to use TreeView control to display my computer's directories and folders just like Windows Explorer does.
Thanks to Popeye for reposting all the Treeview samples (samples posted before the site was hacked). Most or all of these samples, TreeView is used to display data out of tables. Mr. Ghuson posted a great example for browsing directory but it pops up a separate windows for browsing.
Now I'd like to somehow combine the two into one; browsing thru directories and folders using TreeView Control. Yes that I can browse and save all paths and directories to different tables and add them to the TreeView control but I'm trying to stay away from saving data to tables first.
Can this be accomplished? Can Windows Explorer be somehow embeded on an Access form or called? Any ideas, experts out there?
Thanks all in advance.
Hey everyone,
I have a treeview control which is based on a table.
For some reason it won't fill properly, it doesn't add the nodes under the correct parent. If someone could look at the attached file and help me out I'd appreciate it.
Lucas
This is the first time I've tried to work with a treeview control and it's very challenging. I've developed the branch building code in the form's module to a point where I'm confused on how to proceed. I've attached the database and a "readme" file to this posting. I hope someone can help me.
Thanks,

I need a help/pointer converting this cascading list boxes into treeview control. Please help. All the data I need to construct a treeview is already at category_info table, but unable to show it attrib_cde (parent), Stage (child of parent), and ID (child of Stage). Any help or a quick example is highly appreciated.
thanks

I'm using a function to find all files/folders in a specific directory, then copy each one to a specific destination folder. I'm going to use this on a weekly basis to backup files on a computer. I would like to use the vbarchive in GetAttr/SetAttr so I only need to copy these if they have changed since last backup.
Something like:
If GetAttr(strFile) And vbArchive = 32 then
filecopy xxxx, xxxx
else
rs.movenext
As I understand it, a value of 32 indicates that the file has been modified since it was last backuped up (i.e. since the file attribute was "reset"). How do I "reset" the file attributes to clear the vbArchive?? I've read some google searches and the only thing I could find was the files were set to vbnormal however I'm concerned that this will erase program files that are vbReadOnly or VbHidden.
Hi there,
I'm venturing into the abyss of treeviews and have read many threads on this subject. I have two questions to ask regarding the attached sample db, if anyone can help me please.
1) How can I adapt the existing code and create subnodes (or sub child nodes). For example, how can I create a sub-node of OPEN FORM2?
2) What is the syntax for an ONCLICK event, i.e. by clicking on OPEN FORM2 I want it to open FORM2?
Thanks in advance,
Paul.
Hello all.
I'm really new at VB.
But I'm learning. I'm also learning to work around access too.
What I'm trying to do is have a Form with a TreeViewCtl that acts as a menu for other forms.
I'd like to have the TreeViewCtl open those forms in a subform so there is always just one form open at all times.
This way my "clients" don't get lost in the forms. Believe me, they get lost easily...
I already posted a question like this here:
http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=80756
But I'm not sure if this is a VB question (TreeViewCtl) or a Forums question...
A sample of what I'm trying to do is available at the link.
My TreeViewCtl works fine, but the forms open in seperate forms.
Sorry for the dbl-post.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I've been searching google for 2 weeks without any answers.
Thx for your time.
Hi All,
I'm trying to create a form that is reading filenames from a certain folder on my computer.
The filenames have some prefixes - 'tu' , 'tc' , 'bf' , 'tf' and 'act'.
each filename that is read is being displayed (without it's prefix) in a list and has another attribute (type) that the prefix is inserted into it.
Does someone know how to start this kind of application ?
