General :: Mail Merge Word File (using Data From Access File)
Mar 11, 2014I 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.
How To Store Multiple File Locations In A Text Box
Dec 15, 2011I've implemented on a form a Command Button that opens up a dialog box to allow the user to find a photo and once the photo is selected, it stores the location in a text box, (not the photo, just the location). I need to be able to allow multiple photo's to be store in the same text box. That was one of the benefits of using an Attachment data type but based on lots of comments...

Feb 3, 2013I have a large .dat file which is run through an Access macro to produce reports. After a recent system change at work the format of the .dat has changed and now includes an additional bit of data which disrupts the macro.
I tried changing the extension of the file from dat to mdb to see if I could remove the additional column in access. I also tried changing it to a csv file as well but the file has a few hundred thousand lines and the csv file cuts most of it out.
Are there any other ways I can open this file in Access to remove this additional column of data?
General :: Where / How To Store Reference Information
Nov 12, 2013I have not developed a database application before. At my work I was seconded to fill in as a team lead for a change management team. We are in a production environment and need to track the progress of product improvements. The current system is very complicated using an enormous Excel spreadsheet and a very bid MSProject schedule. It is very handraulic in the way it is maintained.
Before I started I reviewed who inputs data, who uses the data, and what metrics are reported. I can reduce the amount of data that is recorded by only generating many of the existing Excel fields through calculation run when a report is generated or a chart populated.
I need to track the state of several hundred minor changes through the production run. The reference data I need to store is serial number against production batch. This is fixed data that is not changed, only used as to show the entry point of a change into the production line and which serial numbers the change is applied to.
General :: Store Odbc Connection In FE Or BE?
Aug 27, 2013I have split a few different MS Access databases before with the BE on a shared drive and the FE installed on all users' local machine. In this instance, I have three ODBC connections bringing in data to my tool from an outside database once a day. Is it faster to store the odbc connections on the FE or BE when I split them?

Oct 18, 2014I use below simple command line to start a macro in my Access database. Usually all works well. I start my bat file, command is executed and macro does its job.
However it always fails if I have a session of Access already opened even if it is a completely different database. If I use below then it opens another sessions of Access but does not execute the macro. I need to go into the second session and run macro manually. It works fine then.
Code:
"C:UsersMeDocumentsDatabas1.accdb" /X Macro
General :: Unified Same Tables For 3 Different MS Access File
Mar 31, 2015I have 3 sets of MS Access File (NEDA, RDC,& Summid) built with the same sets of structures. Originally at MS Access 2007, but now I'm using the built in 2010 version for Lenovo Flex 2.The table consist of:
*Chart of Accounts
*Journal Entry Voucher Master File
*Journal Entry Number Master File
*Supplier Master File
Queries are the same (links, designed, etc...)
Forms are also the same (links, designed, etc...)
Reports are also the same (links, designed, etc...)
The difference for these three file is the Journal Entry Number because each file requires a different JEV format...Example:
-For NEDA it should be NEDA-Year-Month-Number Series
-For RDC it should be RDC-Year-Month-Number Seried
Laslty for summid it should be Summid-Year-month-Number Series and separate transaction listing for the purpose of calling data for the report, such as List of disbursements and trial balance.But for these three MS Access file, Chart of Accounts and Supplier Master File do have the same set of data. That's why whenever a data is not available I am encoding the said information in each MS Access file (inputting the data three times).Example:If an asset account such as Office Supplies is not available, I will input in the Chart of Account Form for NEDA, then RDC, then Summid.
Question
Is there a way where I can unified the Chart of Accounts and Supplier Master File into one but still can entry/edit the same in each MS Access forms. Also can still link to each queries, tables,and reports?So that I will encode data one time only and save space.
General :: Cannot Open Front End Access File
Jun 28, 2012I was successfully using a front end and back end setup for the past two years. Today I needed to push through some changes and "deactivate" the previous back end database and setup a new back end database. The new back end database has been sent; however the front end is not recognizing the back end database anymore. I need to re-link the existing front end to the back end database - I cannot import the front end into a "fresh" file because I put a password on the VBA Editor.

Feb 24, 2014Is it possible (using the menu or VBA code) to find out the size of the objects in an Access database file?For example if the .accdb file is 300Mb, is there any way of comparing the size of the numerous tables/forms/reports/queries etc, that make up the database?(I know that if I created a new access file and imported the objects from the working database that could give an indication but that would be quite a repetitive process).

General :: Possible To Store Forms And Reports In Separate FE
Jul 27, 2013I have an A2007 database used for time and billing. As time goes on I've had to add more forms and especially more reports. I feel the because of all these "additions" the FE is getting a bit bloated, something like 2.2MB right now.What I want to inquire about is the possibility of moving at least some (if not all) of the forms and reports to another FE and can this be done without having to move tables and/or queries?
The navigation pane is "hidden" from the users so they don't see all the tables, queries, forms and reports but some are smart enough to figure out to "unhide" the navigation pane.Concerning the forms; there are certainly some forms that I do not want other users to open out of curiosity, or for whatever other reasons they might have, so these I would want to move. The same basic reasoning would apply to the reports.
My thinking would be this; move a particular form/report to a separate FE that merely acts as a "bucket" to store the form/report. Clicking on the control in the main FE would open the form/report stored in the other FE using the tables and queries in the main FE.can it be done without having to re-write a bunch of code? I know I can add code so certain controls aren't visible to certain users but I've not found a way to permanently lock and hide the navigation pane.
General :: Opening Access Database From Batch File Or VBS
Dec 20, 2012Is there a way to open an Access Database from a batch file or VBS file wait for 20 seconds and then close the Access file. Preferably I would like the Access file to run in either invisible or minimized mode. I would like the Access Database to close again after the 20 seconds has elapsed.
(The reason for this is so that the Database can refresh itself from Sharepoint on another users machine so that the excel reports on his machine are up to date).
