Simple vba code that allows me to import all the content in a specific folder into an Access attachments field? I have search but all I am seeing is code to import outlook attachments.
View RepliesI need a facility in the access VBA coding to check if a directory exist.
It does exist, I need to open it and check for a specific file.
Or if the directory (folder) exist, to determine or display folders within.
using Access 2010, I have reached the 2GB limit. It's not the data, it's the PDF files I scanned in for each customer that has stretched the db to its limits. The db is also currently split.
I didn't realize Office had a 2GB limit; I assumed if you had a 64 bit computer and a NTFS partition, there would be no 2GB limit.
Using a template database in Access 2010, I need to extract the attachments to a folder and thus link them back to the database using hyperlinks. I can handle this task, but I'm not confident how to extract the attachments from each record (around 900) to a folder and have it do it automatically for all records. I can do it record by record, but that is not feasible with this many records.
how to extract all the attachments for each record, and have them saved in folders by their name or other ID, so I can link them back to the db via a hyperlink?
Can I create contents of one field based on the contents of others?
I have a database of pc systems which we've tested and was wanting to generate a single text line to identify the individual pc
The single filed would contain data from the following fields
Job Number
CPU Type
CPU Speed
RAM
HDD size
eg
So the new field would contain "Job345-P3-1000-256-20"
Can this be done?
I have a form I use to create photo captions. The form has a field where users can edit a pre-generated caption and a field that stores their updates as a final caption in the field "selected_caption".. On my form is a button that runs the code below to check and see if a field ("updated") has been marked true, then copies the content of caption field into the selected_caption field. It works fine 90 percent of the time but for some reason this caption:
LA 109535, LA109535 partial site overview showing blowout with PL's 01- 04. Crew person is excavating a shovel test probe. Photo direction facing southwest. (Roll 31066, Frame 4958)
Results in a missing operator error. I thought it was like a special character thing, so I removed the "'" and the "-". Same error.
Code:
Dim db As Database
Dim rst As Recordset
Dim upcap As String
Dim strSQL As String
Set db = CurrentDb
[Code] .....
Attachment File Name as it appears in email attachment box
{F54EBDF9-B9B6-4EA1-B56D35DEC50D0F69}.dat (257KB)
When you select open it does retreive the file in PDF.However, our customers are not very likely to open it because of its File Name.I do send the document to PDF file 1st.I am a carpenter by trade just trying to make my business more easier to run from the office and keeping up with the times.I receive emails from Vendors all the time,I am an avid user of Access since 2000, I barely understand VBA code and often copy from samples and/or researched code.

how many elements matching to my primary elements from any records of my query and count match, if some element doesn't match then I need to add it to my primary elements, then at the end (rst.eof) count how many primary elements I have.
E.G
id colours
1 blue;red
2 purple;blue;green
3 red;violet;purple;blue
dim matching_elements as long
dim primary_elements as string
dim TheNumberOfPrimaryElements as long
First of all, if I open recordset primary_elements is empty so I need to assign a value form first record.
primary_elements = rst!colours (so primary_elements = blue;red)
Now I can start comparing my primary_elements with second record:
matching_elements= 1
primary_elements = blue;red;purple;green
comparing my primary_elements with third record:
matching_elements= 3
primary_elements = blue;red;purple;green;violet
It's my last record so I need to count primary_elements
TheNumberOfPrimaryElements = 5
I need "matching_elements" to count other function in my application.
I have a question that i have implemented database with access runtime 2010
I have a navigation form opens up which provides buttons to open different forms & reports .
But I cannot open some of the forms in runtime although title heading apears but other content just goes blank , it has subforms in it . . some forms opens and some reports as well but some form just doesn't.
And on the notification bar it asks for a save as ??? why is that ...
I have an Access 2010 database connected to several SharePoint lists. I'd like to be able to print a report (based on a query) and add that report as a .pdf attachment to the record I was looking at when I generated the report.
At the moment I can save the report as a .pdf to a local file store, then upload it as an attachment, but is there any way to skip that step and add it to the correct record automatically?
What I am wanting is to be able to build dynamic form content/elements based on entries on a table. This is for a gym membership system. What this form is going to be used for is to allow the front desk to scan a membership card which then performs a search on the database. Part of this search is going to be on a table that contains various add-on classes, tanning sessions, etc that a member can add beyond their base membership.
On the left side of the form, I will display a picture of the member and their name. What I am wanting to do on the right side of the form is to build a dynamic list of the add-on perks they are enrolled in.
I know I could hard program elements on the form to be visible or invisible, but that would be static and leave gaps when I have to turn things off b/c that member isn't enrolled in that class, etc.
Is this even possible with Access and VBA? I know I could do this sort of thing with a webpage using PHP, PERL or whatever. I don't know the limits of Access Forms and VBA.
As I began thinking about the data that I need to include in one of my reports I relized that I need to gather some extra data.Each design change has a lifecycle with 7 basic states from not started through to closed. States 4, 5, and 6 have two posible sub-states that I need to capture and report. It is almost like having options.
My data entry form already records the 7 basic states. What I would like to do is have another field that records the sub-states if the design change is in one of those three states.
Will a ComboBox do this?
Do I need a test routine for the After Update event in the first text box? Something that will check for states 1 - 3 and 7 move on to the next field and if states 4 -6 require users to enter the sub-state.
Would a nested if-then-else routine do the job?
I back up our databases every Friday to a Dvd. Can I have a linked folder on our DVD backup in case we would like to look at the last current Mdb
Structure
C:MsAccessDatabase.Mdb
C:MsAccessLinkBackEnd.Mdb
This code below works, but alot of what it does is unnecessary. I have a directory structure named 1000-2000, 2001-3000, 3001 - 4000 etc and within that is the individual folders 1000, 1001, 1002 etc
How do I test to search top level folder thats no larger than correctNum to then test the subfolder for correctNum? I've looked at instr and a few other funtions, but can't find a solution. Below is what I have now, it works but I know it searches everything and that's not correct
Dim filesys
Dim Subdir
Dim folder
Set filesys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim oDir
Dim bDir
CorrectNum = Serial.Value

I'm trying to automate a process of selecting a set of file/s and move them in a folder. When I click on a button, it should open a current folder that is setup in the code.
Lets say that I have a folder C:documents est, and very time I click on the button, it should open the dialog box with that path so I can select the files from another folder, drag them there and they will be saved in that folder.
This will form part of wider automation that will send an email stating that those file/s where placed in that folder.
I have in the same form where the button is placed, 3 check boxes that needs to be passed to the email as well that one or all the files where placed in the folder.
I'm trying to open a folder based on a BIN nr. This folder could be in a main folder that has diferent subfolder. As there where differnt naming used to create the folderes, one of the things they have always is the BIN nr. It alwasy start with a unique number and maybe I could use it to scan the subfolders and open that one that the BIN nr is equal as in the field BIN.
Now we have serveral 1000th of folders and finding them takes time.

View 1 Replies View RelatedOpen a specific Windows Folder.I am using this code to open a specific Windows folder ..... and it works perfect:
As String Dim folder
folder = "c: Documents WORD"
Dim Retval
Retval = Shell ("explorer.exe / e, / root," "" & folder & "" "", 1)
... but also need to open in the specified path, taking the data "UserName" of one field in a table:

So instead of going to the folder = "c:Documents WORD" would go to: c: Documents WORDUserName ". In Windows and subfolders are created with UserName1, 2,3,4, etc.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy manager wants to be able to implement a kind of punch card system for managing staff time. I'm thinking we could make a database that links to a folder in Outlook. Staff will be able to send an email to the inbox saying that they are, for example, going on a break at 10:50, and then another at 11:05 saying they have returned and are back to work.
This would probably add up to around 500 emails per day with the number of staff we have, so I don't want to have to keep all the emails to be able to add up break times etc.
I'll be extracting the timestamps, name, break description etc from the email and storing them in another table. What I would like to know is whether Access would then be able to delete the email from the inbox (or modify it in some way to reflect it has been accounted for), or whether this would have to be a manual task?

I'm looking for copy folder functionality and I can't find anything.
In access 2007 when I push a button on a form, I want to copy a network folder to another location and rename it.
I have a folder with Access files, subfolders, and some .vbs files in it. It requires one person to navigate through a setup process. Once the setup is completed, they need to copy the folder and its contents to a location on a shared drive, which is unknown to me and will be chosen by the user at the site. There could be many sites.
It basically works like this:
Files are downloaded to C:Program Files.
A vbscript is run and extracts a folder directly to the C:Drive and opens it. I'll call it C:Test.
The user manually moves the BE file to a shared drive.
The user opens the FE file and is walked through using the Linked Table Manager.
The user then follows a series of forms to input data.
After this, the FE closes and another DB opens.
The second DB walks them through the Linked Table Manager and closes.
Option #1 At this point I would like to have a script and have it copy that folder, C:Test, and its contents, and have a dialog box open telling the user to paste it in a location where all users have access to.
Option #2 A script that will backup the folder and all its contents to a shared location selected by the user.
Either option will l allow others to navigate to that location, copy the folder, and paste the folder to their C: Drive.
We have a server that we use to run a Microsoft Access application. This application creates folders, subfolders and files on the server.Users are in 4 different offices. Each office has at least 3 computers. Some users also work from home.
Users creates file through word, or scanning a document or by saving an email on their local pc.My problem is that users need to be able to save a file to a specific folder on server.
I have a large spreadsheet I need as the basis for an Access database.
The spreadsheet contains... Company Number, Name, Address, etc...

However the Name and address is different... eg LTD v Limited, ABC House v 34 High Street etc....
how I can prepare the data and get into access?
