General :: Opening DB With A Space In Filename Via Command Line
Jan 21, 2013
I am working on supporting spaces in the DB filename. I got the rest of my program working... other than being able to invoke Access with the specified filename for it to open.
Code:
C:Documents and Settingsc_mlueckMy DocumentsFandango>"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice12MSACCESS.EXE" "Schema Ideas.accdb"
C:Documents and Settingsc_mlueckMy DocumentsFandango>dir "Schema Ideas.accdb"
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is C8E4-5856
Directory of C:Documents and Settingsc_mlueckMy DocumentsFandango
I am trying to open MX Excel using a command button. I have tried using a hyperlink a various codes that i have found online with no luck. The Excel file is being used by the Access as it bring data from the spreadsheet a displays it within a subform. (I think this is where the problem occurs) The subform displaying some data from Excel is working fine but when i click my hyperlinked button i am met with errors and the file will not open.
How to modify an existing database template to meet my needs.
I am trying to create a command button that sits on the order details page and that will open up a report i have created called 'picklist' which is basically the same as an invoice but with some different product information listed on it.
I want the command button to open up the picklist that corresponds to the order that i am on e.g picklist #2 for invoice#2
I need to import a number of .csv files every day and overwrite the old tables with the data from the new .csv files. However, each day, the filenames will change.
For example,
Day 1: Import fileA 1.csv, fileB 1.csv, fileC 1.csv Day 2: Import fileA 2.csv, fileB 2.csv, fileC 2.csv Day 3: Import fileA 5.csv, fileB 5.csv, fileB 6.csv
The files will be named fileA [#].csv, fileB [#].csv, fileC [#].csv, and so on, with a different number each day (with no pattern to the numbers).
Is there a way to write an import specification or VBA script that will import these? Perhaps something that allows a regular expression in the file path so I can import "C:fileA*", "C:fileB*", etc.?
i want to open a Word Document in access, so i am using the Runapp macro. It says to enter a command line. So, i input the path of the document and run the macro. Then access says it cannot invoke the application.
what is the command line?
in general, how do i open a word document in access using the Runapp macro?
Guys, any idea how to evaluate the command line options used when an Access application is started from a command line. For example I use the following command line: C:..MyDatabase.mdb /parameters:110001110 Then, in VB, I evaluate the string "110001110" and do the further job. Is there any property or function to return the command line option string? Thanks
I am trying to run the batch job from the command line. I created AutoExec macro in the mdb(msaccess 2007) which is calling someMainMethod() . How can I pass batch job id to the mdb?
I have been trying to find the symbol or text to force a new line on a command button in a Access Form and have not had any luck. I have the command button pretty large and want 2 lines in the button. If anyone knows how to do this that would be great. Thank you very much !!!
This may not be an Access problem per se, and if not, I appologize in advance.
I have a FE/BE split database with multiple users. I have found out how to add a command line switch to the shortcuts (the shortcut must go to the application first for any switches to work) which opens the database front end nicely. Problem is, I can't get it to connect to the appropriate WIF.
I have tried copying the text from "Microsoft Access Inside Out" which didn't work as it has "/wrkgroup" rather than "/wrkgrp". My set up wouldn't accept that.
Anyway I'm half way there but stuck now. I don't get any error messages when I use the shortcuts but Access stays joined to whatever WIF it was connected to the last time it was running.
I have searched this site but couldn't find anything regarding this specific problem, in the recent past at least.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
I have copied the details from the 2 shortcuts below. The first is to my database and the networked WIF, the second to Access to return the desktop PC to the default WIF. I have also added the Access version number and operating system version numbers.
This is the shortcut to my database with the workgroup switch set to the WIF created for this database:
Is there a command line argument to open AND close a db? I am running a schedule task to open a db which has an autoexec macro but I don't want the db to stay open after running the macro. Or is there a close db function in a macro? I see close form but not db.
I am looking for help to to generate a command line to automatically run a report within a windows program I am using. The program I use has command line fields to automatically open the access report when I complete my program session. I have tested the command line with a standard C:.... .exe to open Word, Access, etc.
I have tried using the create shortcut and snapshot methods without success and wondering if a macro is needed (havent a clue).
I have had my 4th SQL/APP Dev lab class, however I missed the 5th.
Our 5th lab was .
1. Create 3 tables, populate with given data and create relationships. 'Customer, Invoice, Payment'
2. We were given 8 queries to try do, we had to come up with which commands would be used.
I have no 1 completed.
As for no 2.. we are still learning all the commands, so the lab here is for us to find what commands we think will be used. I have researched and have them all 6 queries we have to run.., I have all those commands written out on paper which I think are answers..how to find the command line to test them.
what is the correct syntax to write a command line able to UPDATE more than one field in the table records having multiple WHERE criteria.
Here is my challenge:My TableI has the columns A, B, C and D which are populated, for example, as follows:
TableI A B C D 1 2 2 6 4 3
1 7 5 9 1 2 2 5 8 5 etc.
I also have a FormII which updates TableII. Among the existing fields of TableII there are the fields C and D (same as above). When saving data entry thru the save button of the FormII, fields C and D will be naturally saved on the TableII. Well, I also want C and D info updated into Table I as well, but only when field A=1 and B=2.So what I need (for the click event of the button save in the FormII) is to open TableI and either insert or update it with the values of the fields C and D in every record WHERE A=1 AND B=2.For instance, assuming C=& and D=%, the desired result should be as follows:
TableI A B C D 1 2 & % 2 6 4 3 1 7 5 9 1 2 & % 2 5 8 5
I did not find any examples in the net including multiple criteria..Here is what I wrote unsuccesfully:
Private Sub BtSalvarFrmII_Click() CurrentDb.execute "UPDATE TableI" Set FieldC = Forms!FrmII!FieldC.value AND Set FieldD = Forms!FrmII!FieldD.value WHERE FieldA = 1 AND FieldB = 2 Docmd.save Docmd.close End Sub
I have a database which is split so that several people can have a 'front end' to the database to access one common back end. This works fine on a network but I thought I could load the backend up to my webspace and then with the links manager point to it, but it doesn't work. I get an error report of 'not a valid file name.'
The website is [URL] .... and the backend database name is Probus_data_A.accdb and so I entered [URL] .... as the address in link manager.
I would like to open a PDF document using a button control on a form to a file path listed in a field on the form (Me.Link). I am trying to use the followHyperlink code but I keep getting the runtime 490 error.
This is the code im using:
Dim strFilePath As String strFilePath = Me.Link Application.FollowHyperlink (strFilePath)
If I put a filepath to one of the pdf documents in the place of (strFilePath) it opens that pdf document fine but not when I declare a filepath based on the one listed on the form.

I am exporting a report from access. The problem is after export to .rtf, all fields appears correct except a bar code field (CCode39). It adds a space after the text which makes text non-recognizable by bar code scanner.If I use other formats, then there is no problem. I tried by using plain text as well rich text format for that particular field.
We have created a database where data entry happens on the first form. So far all is working well on this form except users complain there is not enough space for comments. I set up a column for comments, but it is limited to 255 characters. What/How else can I set this up to provide a lot more room?
Hi All, I have three excel files (ActualHires.xls, ActualPromotions.xls and ActualSeparation.xls). These are password protected files (with the same password). They are linked to an access database and whenever the files are opened, one must supply the password and click the 'Enable automatic refresh button.' What I was wondering was if this could be done in access with a command button. I have pasted some code below that I found but now I'm getting an error. This is the code:
For B = LBound(BookNames) To UBound(BookNames) WorkBooks.Open FileName:=BookNames(B), _ UpdateLinks:=3, Password:="*******" WorkBooks(B).Close SaveChanges:=False Next B
But when I click the button, I get this error: Run-time error '9' Subscript out of range.
and this line is highlighted: WorkBooks(B).Close SaveChanges:=False
I have a form that could have duplicate material descriptions , is it possible to have on that form a field that counts the number of line items for that material and when the material changes the new number will appear .
