General :: Copy A File Type?

Feb 19, 2013

I have to create a flat file to send to a group each month. The file type I create is M(a 7 digit number).(a three digit number), like M1234567.123. I create it as a text file and rename it from a field on a form. The field is in the last line of code below, WaiverFile.

START OF CODE

Dim NewFormName As String
DoCmd.TransferText acExportFixed, "WaiverFiles", "qryViewWaiverBilling",
"C:PSWaiverFilesPSWaiverFile.txt", False, ""
Dim stFileLoc As String stFileLoc = "C:PSWaiverFiles"
FileCopy stFileLoc & "PSWaiverFile.txt", stFileLoc & Forms!frmDailyLogOptions!WaiverFile

END OF CODE

I have a procedure that this is part of. The next thing I need after the code above is to copy this file, M1234567.123, or “M?.?”, to a folder on a mapped drive, that is T:PSWaiverFiles. I need to copy it as M*, so that I can get the file every time. I have tried several things, including:

START OF CODE

FileCopy “C:PSWaiverFilesM*”, “T:PSWaiverFiles”

END OF CODE

General :: Make A Copy Of BE File Rather Than To Make A Copy Via Code

Nov 26, 2012

Would it be ok just to make a copy of the BE file (every so often) rather than to make a copy via code?The user can then just paste over the original if it becomes corrupt.

General :: Copy A Pdf File Between 2 Directories

May 31, 2013

I am trying to copy a pdf file between 2 directories. I am using xCopy, When I build my copy statement based upon various parameters, it looks something like this:

xCopy C:PDF995OUTPUT*.* P:Billing1297344137.pdf /y

I might note that there is only one file in C:PDF995OUTPUT at a time. So I copy what is there, delete it and it is empty until the next usage.when it executes the statement, I get a DOS message asking whether what is being copied is a File or a Directory.How can I identify that without needing to respond to a message?

General :: Program That Can Be Used To Create EXE Type File For Application?

Dec 12, 2012

I have been reading a lot about Access Runtime and the problems that occur when a runtime application is installed on a machine that already has a full version of Access. Any program that can be used to create an .EXE type file for an access application that will eliminate all of these problems? The cost of the compiler program is not a major concern if it works!!!

General :: Access FE User Auto Copy Most Recent File

Jun 4, 2013

I have an access 2007 database that is split front end and back end. There are about 15 users and the backend is stored on the network. Currently I am e-mailing out the FE when chagnes are made so they have the latest copy.

With everything I have read I think a bat file would work the best at allowing me to make changes on demand without having to continually email out new versions of the FE. Sometimes the changes are behind the scenes unnoticable to the user while others are obvious.

Questions: Exactly HOW does a bat file work? When the user clicks on the access file stored on their laptop? Where is the bat file stored? I am unfamiliar with where to write the bat file code as well - notepad perhaps?

I am not sure how to create a bat file and what the code should be?

For version tracking I need to put a version table in the BE and in the front end correct?

have made a few significant changes but I'm holding out e-mailing it if I can get this version copying figured out and in place first.

General :: Batch File To Allow Users To Copy Latest Version Of Front End Whenever Change Made

Aug 7, 2014

I have been trying to set up a batch file to allow users to copy the latest version of the front end whenever a change is made. The following is the code that I am trying to get to work properly. The first part works fine, the old front end is copied to a folder on the user's desktop as a backup. But I cannot get the copy of the server - the "P" drive, to overwrite the current copy on the user's desktop. Actually I cannot get the code to copy the new front end from the server and install it on the user's desktop. I think the path is correct for I seem to be able to run the new front end from the server.

When I look for the location on my computer, the server locations is listed as:

General (Servernamefiles) (P: ) (there is no space after the P: it seems to result in a smiley face when I type it and try to post it).

for /f "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /T') do set year=%%c
for /f "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /T') do set month=%%a
for /f "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /T') do set day=%%b
set TODAY=%year%-%month%-%day%
rem echo %TODAY%

[Code] .....

This code works so I thought that the path was correct
rem this works
rem start the new DB front end
Start P:AccessMainSplitBENewFrontEndDBMain.accdb

But this code does not.
echo f | xcopy /f/y/ P:AccessMainSplitBENewFrontEndDBMain.accdb c:UsersUserNameDesktopDBMain.accdb

Neither does this:
echo f | xcopy /f/y/ ServerNamefilesP:AccessMainSplitBENewFrontEn dDBMain.accdb c:UsersUserNameDesktopDBMain.accdb

Modules & VBA :: Determine Excel File Type Without Opening The File?

Aug 14, 2015

Question: Is it possible, using VBA, to determine the actual Excel file type without opening the file?

I receive data files from other departments. Seems like every time someone changes their download structure, I end up with file types that do not match the download extension (example: xlm file with a xls extension). The files can't even be opened because of this. I think I can fix it if I could figure out how to determine what the file type really is.

I'm using Office 2010.

Using Copy Of Existing Workgroup File On A New Db?

Jun 17, 2005

Hi all,

I've set up security on my database before with great success, and now I'd like to use the same workgroup file (a copy with a new name and location) to secure a nes db.

I open the new db, and join my earlier created mdw file. I'm prompted with that I have joined my workgroupfile.

I then set permissions for each user in the workgroupfile, remove admin rights for the admin user account, and assign admin rights to my own account. I am also the owner of thr db.

I now run the security wizard, and I make no changes to any checkboxes.

This goes nicely, and the wizard closes after making a backup file.

I now want to re-join the system.mdw file, so I don't get prompted with the logon dialog when opening a new db or an unsecured db.

If I now try to start my new secured db by double-clicking on the secured mdb file it opens ?????

Where am I going wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Can I Change The Default File Type For An Export... To *.xls?

Mar 8, 2007

Previously, using Windows Professional 2000 and Office Professional 2000, a Access File > Export... would always assume (default to) Excel (.xls) as the "Save type As...".

Now, my system has been upgraded to XP Professional and Office Prof 2003, and now the File > Export... always defaults to Access (*.mdb,...) as the file type. It is not a big problem, just a nuisance. I don't like repeatedly re-selecting *.xls from the drop down list every time I export. (After all, computers and even upgrades should make our life easier, not harder, right?)

Can I somehow select or configure Access to use *.xls as the default Export... file type?

Modules & VBA :: Copy File To New Directory On Button Click?

Dec 22, 2014

Is it possible in access, to create a button that will copy a file to a new directory? Specifically, the data field in question is an access hyperlink that we can click on to open a PDF drawing of a part. I just want to copy the file the hyperlink points to, into a new directory.

EX:
X:database/drawings/somefile.pdf
X:erp/drawings/somefile.pdf

I don't think a macro can do this, but perhaps vbscript can.

Automate Data Type Conversion At Text File Import

Jul 7, 2005

hello once again,
I need to import a text file into an existing table in Access. The text file has been imported once and is working well and everything. However, since I had to change some of the datatypes to be able to query the table correctly, I now cannot import the text file anymore unless I change the datatype of the table itself. Since someone other than I will be doing the imports from here on out, changing the datatypes everytime is out of the question. I was looking at the TransferText event, but I didn't seem to see anything about converting data types. I can think of two options, and neither are probably possible:
1. import using the wizard. Since I didn't see anything related to the types of data, I don't think this will work...
2.import using TransferText. This doesn't seem to give me any opportunity to change the datatypes either. Is there anyway to programmatically change datatypes, or is there possibly an easier way that I'm overlooking??
thanks in advance,
*j

Modules & VBA :: Create Subfolder And Copy File - Path Is Variable

Apr 18, 2014

I have a folder which holds 1000s of pictures organised in subfolders, for example:

D:~AI Database Print Scans2009family and
D:~AI Database Print Scans2009holiday

And so forth. In total at the moment 17 main subfolders, each of which hold another 2-3 subfolders.

I am putting together a database to bring pictures together with all sorts of details. I import the picture via hyperlink and complete the various fields. All that works fine but there are a lot of pictures! And it gets confusing to see which ones have already been entered into the database and which ones haven’t.

One solution for this is to copy the pictures that have been “completed” to another folder. I have found a way to do that:

Dim fs As Object
Dim oldPath As String, newPath As String
oldPath = Forms!frmPrintDetails.txtPath1
newPath = "D:~AI Database Print ScansCompleted_Entries"
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
fs.CopyFile oldPath, newPath
Set fs = Nothing

Works fine, but the problem is that I loose the subfolder structure, it copies all pictures to the same main folder. I’d like to maintain the subfolder structure and add code to create the correct subfolders and next copy the picture. With the different paths I’m lost. I don’t know how to extract the correct path in code. I’d also like to either rename or remove the picture once I have completed entry of the details. The problem I have again is that I don’t know how to code for a changing path.

General :: Mail Merge Word File (using Data From Access File)

I often create contract using mail merge. I have an access file that I want to use as data source for word file. But it does not automatically.

Please download the attached file !

If there are 1 customer and 1 property, I do not need to do anything. Conversely, if there are many customers and many properties, I take time to manipulate.

Firstly, I open the word file. I have to copy and paste paragraphs that I want. Highlight of the original paragraphs is blue.

Secondly, I click 'Insert Word Field' -> select 'Next Record'.

In short, I wish to use VBA in access file to automatically perform the steps that I have outlined.

General :: Forms And Queries In One ACCDB File - Path Setting To Linked Table File

Oct 5, 2014

I've got the forms and queries in one .accdb file and my tables in a separate .accdb file. The forms file links to the tables in the tables file. The tables file resides in a folder called simply enough C:acc_tables and thats where i browsed to (obviously) when i set up the linkage.

One of the users does not wish (for whatever goddamn reason) to create a C:acc_tables file to stick the tables file in , and wants the tables file in some other folder.. Unfortunately this user does not have the skills to delete the existing links and re-link to the tables file after putting it in the folder he wants.

Where in the file that holds the forms and and queries do i find the path setting to the tables linked file? Can it be changed without deleting links and then re-linking?
