I have a database with a vast number of forms. I need to rename two forms but with no success. Once I rename the form, it just jumbs back to it's original name.I cannot save these files as well.
View RepliesI made a Point of sale using a form with different sub-forms which have command buttons on it. They basically run a append query from tblStockMain to table cash and on to transactions. That works all fine no problem.
The one missing thing to make it sweet is to rename the command buttons automatically from tblStockMain. With other words, if I change a product in the table it would change the name on the button and the picture if possible with it.
Is there a way to do it?
I am still trying to copy an Excel file from a parent folder to a sub-folder, that this code creates, and name the copied file with the name used to name the sub-folder, using the name entered in a control field (named 'TheDirName) of an Access 2007 form. Here is my VBA, which names the copied file "TheDirName.xlsx.:
Private Sub MakeDir_Click()
Dim appExcel As Excel.Application
Dim lngLastDataRow As Long
Dim Folder_Path As String
'Create path for customer folder & files
[code]....
These are the two functions I am using to calculate Years and Months that have passed since a specific date. It works. Its amazing.
Its a pain.
If the field that passes the value is empty, I get #Error in the field that calls these functions. Ive tried error correcting, but I still have the #Error showing.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,
I have developed a couple of database applications. This started as a small thing but now is growing to the point where I've got to make some decisions and would appreciate some guidance.
Presently:
Front end: 4 Different GUI's as local front ends.
Back end: Intranet network share on Win2k desktop (limited by O/S to 10 connections at one time)
Going forward, about 30 users will have access to the front ends and will all need concurrent access to the back end data. At some point, I would like to generate web pages from the data in the back end database and have the back end machine also be the web server for this.
So, what are my "best" options for the back end?
I was thinking of getting Win 2k3 Server running SQL server to drive the database.
The ability to integrate security with existing infrastructure would definitely be a plus, which I believe Win 2k3 can do.
I don't know very much about Win 2k3 or SQL server, but am willing to invest in learning the ins and outs as long as I can get it up and running with the same functionality I have now (with relative ease) and scale it as my capabilities with the OS and SQL server increase.
To be honest though, I am a little scared about how much I'll have to change my existing applications in order to make it work.
Your suggestions, comments, experiences most welcome and valued.
Thanks,
Al

View 1 Replies View RelatedOn the form On load event I have code verifying if a condition is true or not. If the condition is true, it does some things, now I want also to rename a form if the condition is true. So, I have created a macro to do this. But if I open the DB for second, third.... time and the condition is still true the macro can't find the specifyed form and brings up an error message wich gives to user the possibility to Debug. This way he has access to the code , and I don't want this to hapen.
Can I do this by using code and keeping the user away from code?

Hi~
First off, sorry about the title; I couldn't really come up with anything that made sense.
Here's what I'm trying to do, I am trying to rename a table in one database from within another (there is a really good reason why I want to do it from somewhere other than the db that contains the object). Here is what I have so far in my code:
Private Sub cmdTest_Click()
Dim strSource As String 'the db that contains the table I want to rename
strSource = Application.CurrentProject.Path & " est1.mdb"
'Shell the file
Shell "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE11msaccess.exe """ & strSource & "", vbNormalFocus
'Acknowledge security and open
SendKeys "NO", True
End Sub
of course I'm missing the part that would rename the object. I guess what I'm trying to do at this point is be able to run the docmd.rename command and have it execute in test1.mdb (the shelled db) as opposed to test2.mdb (the db that contains the code). Is this possible? How?
Thanks
I've been asked to come up with a way (one-off) of renaming over 100 hundred tables. The table are all called "STUD_ADMIN_blah". We need to remove the "STUD_ADMIN_" part of the table name.
Is there a nice easy way of doing this without having to physically rename each table individually?
Thanks in advance.

Hello, I'm currently working on automating the import of a csv file (which works fine using the Transfertext method) but the csv file does not contain field names.
I want to rename the fields with something meaningful after importing the file, but I can't seem to figure out how to do this using the tabeldef method of handling tables. There's nothing in the help, not that I could find anyway.
Does anyone know whether this can be done and how, cheers.
I want to rename a report by clicking a command button on a form. I have this simple code in the click event:
Dim strReportNameNew As String
Dim strReportNameOld As String
strReportNameNew = txtChangeTo.Text
strReportNameOld = txtChooseReport.Text
DoCmd.Rename strReportNameNew, acReport, strReportNameOld
The code fails with this error message:
Microsoft Visual Basic
Run-time error '29068'
Household Labels cannot complete this operation. You must stop the code and try again.
I am able to rename the report manually.I have searched but been unable to find out what is causing this error.
I'm having about 100 table with the following name: phres01, phres02, phres03 .....phres100
And I need to rename them to ph01, ph02, ph03 ... ph100 respectively
thus removing the "res" part of each table. Since the ctrl+h doesn't work for access LOL im in hella trouble.
I made the novice mistake of originally naming a field street #, so I changed it. I went to every place I thought it might affect and still it will not let me access my forms. Is there anyway to find all of the locations it might be and remove it? I am using Access 2010

Is there any way to use a select query where it will select the values off of my database but temporarily use a different column name for one of the columns???
I have 3 different item names stored in my main table. When I compare this to another table, I want to select one of the item names and just pass that as item_name.

I am copying many many music cds to my hard drive. However, the song file names on the cds are track01.mp3, track02.mp3, etc. I have all the real songnames for each cd listed in the database. I need a way to rename the songs with their real names one cd at a time. My thought was to populate one table with the directory and filenames (track--) of the songs and populate another table with real songnames from the database. Then, somehow, rename the files. I'm lost. I hope someone can help!
I was working on my DB, cleaning up some of the field name that were cumbersome and everything worked fine. Today I was doing some follow up work and I cannot change the field names. All I want to do it change the name of a field from CITY to City, but it won't let me do it. I have tried, change from single click to double click, but I was already using double click to open an object; unchecked Auto-Correct, still nothing.
Yesterday I was able to modify a name from Actions to Action (simply deleting one letter. And State/Province to StateProvince. Worked fine. What bothers me is that I have been able to change a field name before and now I can't. I have tried compact and restore, etc.
I'm using 2013. The first version of my code works great. It opens the correct report and attaches it to an e-mail as a pdf with all of my text etc.
Code:
Private Sub btnEMail_Click()
On Error GoTo errHandler
Dim strReport As String
Dim vMsg As String
Dim vSubject As String
Dim strWhere As String
strReport = "RptJobDSD"
[Code] ....
The problem I have is I would like to rename the pdf, so instead of "RptJobDSD" everytime, it can have some fields [DSDDate] and [JobID] etc.
Before trying the fancy field stuff I thought I'd try just "DSD Test" and see if I could rename it in the first place!
I added this and am getting - Error(32004) - The control name 'RptJobDSD' is misspelled or refers to a control that doesn't exist.
Code:
DoCmd.OpenReport strReport, acViewPreview, , strWhere
DoCmd.SetProperty strReport, acPropertyCaption, "DSD Test"
DoCmd.SendObject acSendReport, strReport, acFormatPDF, , , , vSubject, vMsg, True
My confusion comes as the OpenReport and SendObject recognise strReport why doesn't SetProperty?!
