Forms :: Create Hyperlink To Open Access Form
Jul 10, 2015I am investigating on the possibility of setting up an approval process for our employee intake procedure by using MS Access and Outlook.
The idea is for the requester to open an intake form in Access and fill in the new employee's information and send an Outlook email to the manager for approval. I know how to trigger off an event on the form to send an email to the manager but my challenge is how to create a hyperlink in the email for the recipient to directly open the intake form with the specific record, without the need to open the database and find the specific intake form.
The intake form is built in a frontend .mde file on a shared drive where all users have access to.

Hyperlink Roll Over Effect On The Access Form
Nov 11, 2005Hello,
I have a MS Access form with a few hyperlinks on it. I have tried to achieve effect similar to hyperlink roll over effect on a web page: when mouse pointer goes over a hyperlink it changes colour, etc.
Unfortunately, all I could find was MouseMove event:
Sub Label_MouseMove
Label.ForeColour=vbBlue
End Sub
But in this case hyperlink stays blue even after mouse pointer leaves it. And I would like hyperlink get back it's initial colour.
Thank you
Forms :: Hyperlink To Tabbed Form
May 5, 2015I'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).
Forms :: Insert Hyperlink Into Form Pointing To File?
Dec 19, 2013i have a table of calls, with a field called "link to file".
i have a form where staff fill in their calls and when they have completed the call there is an option to insert a hyperlink to where the file is stored.
i previosuly had an attachemnt there but the database would just grow and grow so now its prefered there is a link to where the files are kept.
i just dont know how to set it up, i have tried adding in a text field and setting it to hyperlink which does work but on the form the user has to right click the button and edit hyperlink to place it in - is there an easier way of just clicking the button and it brings up a folder location where you select the file and it saves it as a hyperlink into the table under linked to file?

View 6 Replies View Related2013 - Access Recapitalizes First Character Of Field Names
Feb 17, 2014I have a very experienced colleague who has Access 2013 and has the following issue:
For some reason, Access keeps recapitalizing the first character of the field names when I save, close, and reopen the table in design view! I just spent several hours lower casing prefixes only to discover after I ran a routine to extract the field names that they had been recapitalized!
I've fiddled with turning off Autocorrect, but that seems to do nothing positive for me. How to turn this feature OFF?
Forms :: Unbound TextBox Character Limit
Feb 17, 2015I started off with a blank form and added a command button, three labels and a text box. None of these are bound to anything.
The sole purpose of this form is to show the progress of a VB script I've written that retrieves all the table names and the number of records contained in each. This information is also exported to Excel.
Everything works great apart from the log I'm producing inside the text box. This log is just a replica of what is being exported to Excel. Once the log reaches a length of 1,837 characters, it fails to have anything else added to it. The code below is where I have an error returned.
Code:
Me.LogList1.Text = Me.LogList1.Text & vbCrLf & tdf.Name & "|" & intRecCount
The error I receive is "Run-time error '2176': The setting for this property is too long.". From what I've read elsewhere though, an unbound text box is meant to have a character limit of a good few thousand. Around 60,000 from what I remember.
I did try a few other options such as using a label or a listbox but they weren't great. The label doesn't support a scroll bar and if the text goes past the size of the label it doesn't scroll down by default. A list box worked but I want the user to be able to copy the text after in-case the Excel report doesn't work for whatever reason.
I could possibly setup a table with a single field set to 'memo' and bound the text box to that. I don't know if that works though as I don't want to have to create an extra table. This form is to be used across other databases when required and this solution would add an unnecessary table to the list (which I could code out) and also means the table has to be exported to the other database along with the form.
Why my text box is limited to around 1,837 characters?
Forms :: Hyphen Not As Wild Card Character
May 18, 2013I have a series of dates that I inherited from former DB. Some of the dates are Mon-Fri, Mon-Thu, Sun-Fri, etc. That is, there is a hyphen "-" in the middle of the text. I have an unbound control with an IIF statement using the LIKE condition, I just get an error. I tired the following to no avail. Using Access 2010.
IIF([Day1] Like "*-*", 5, 1)
IIF([Day1] like "-", 5, 1)
IIF ([Day1] like '-', 5, 1)
IIF ([Day1] like [-], 5, 1)
I've looked it up and the hyphen _ is used as a wild card character, but I need to include it just as a dash.

Mar 3, 2007I have a table with one field set as a hyperlink. I have to generate the hyperlink according to what else is going on in the record, I do this by assembling a text string which I can write to a text field in the same record. I have no problem doing this but when I try to copy that string into the Hyperlink field I get type mismatch. Incidentally if I put two text boxes on a form and bind one to the text and one to the hyperlink field the I can 'cut and paste' it OK so how come I can't do it with Access basic?

Using Visio (HTML) To Hyperlink To An Access Database
Jul 25, 2007HI All,
I have scoured the net and these forums looking for the answer but cannot find a good solution.
I am producing flow charts in Visio, and then saving them as HTML documents for use on our Intranet. Within the Visio flow diagrams I am using Hyperlinks on various shapes and text, to enable the viewer to open various other documents in various other applications. This seems to work fine in my web browser for normal office documents, like word and excel, but I need to be able to do it for MS Access databases too! Because the web browser tries to open it in the browser itself, the database won't open and I just get the normal "Web Page Could not be found" screen.
Another useful feature would be to be able to open to a number of different specific forms from a database, depending on which hyperlink is clicked. I assume this is not possible as you only seem to be able to define on page to be displayed upon opening the DB. Am I correct?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Forms :: Hyperlink MailTo - Also Tries To Go To Webpage
Jan 7, 2014MS 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?
