I know it is possible but i don't know what's the registry setting.
how to create file explorer like functionality in ms access.
1 -I need to be able to browse files within specified directory and only. I can't alow users to browse any other directories.

The treeview working for browsing specific directory, but i need to enhance it to allow to copy files and folders in that directory.I use MS ACCESS 2010 and not very proficient in programming.
All of the sudden I get an error message when I try to open my database from a file rather than through Access. If I open Access first and open the file that way, there is no problem but if I click on it from Windows Explorer, I get the error.
See picture.
Hi All
I am looking to find some code that I can use in a batch file to compact an Access 2000 database that has a database password set on it.
I know about "C:WIPSPOCOneCall_BE.mdb" /compact but need to find a way to pass it the password. What it does at the moment is open and waits for the password to be entered, and then it just opens.
I am looking to set up a scheduled task so that the database gets compacted every night.
Any ideas?
Cheers.
I want to open the 'Save Backup As' Dialogue Box from the file menu, using a Command Button on a Form in Access 2003.I know you can do this manually but I would love to do it programically.
View 4 Replies View RelatedAccess 2013 ... Is it possible to compact a database to a new name?
(In previous incarnations of Access I regularly 'compacted and repaired' databases to USB sticks rather than simply copy the file in the (mistaken??) belief that this was a more reliable approach)...
I can't see where to do this in Access 2013!
How would I use the Access 2010 setting, 'Compact on close'?We have a back end on a server and many users with front ends on their computers. So would I set 'Compact on close' on the back end? And then it would compact when the last user logged out?

I have used the tree control to acomplish this but the major drawback I have found is it becomes WAY too slow when utilizing large amounts of data due to many embeded loops. Does anyone know an alternative or a way to program the tree control to only add nodes once a selection is expanded?
Basically I want this to operate as a drilldown of infinate levels with the speed of windows explorer. Unfortunatly all the code I have seen requires that all nodes are designated/Created when the form is loaded.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated
I'm a newbie and using Access 2007.
I have added functionality that creates a report, saves it as a PDF, and then sends it to a customer via email as an attachment. The PDF file is saved to a folder and is named to include the Customer's unique customer number and the date and time the PDF was created.
For example, if the customer number is 09 and the date was 10th October 2013 and the time 09.00am, the file name is 0009101020130900.pdf.
What I want to be able to do from within the database is to have a button, that when clicked, will display all of the Pdf's for only customer number 09. The customer number will be based upon a field in the customer record.
I am building a db and i want to disable the Shortcut Menu (pull down menu at form's title bar) to prevent the users from closing the main form.
There is a Disable Shortcut menu setting in the File/Options menu but the whole db gets the setting.
I simply want to deny the users from accessing the Shortcut Menu when on the Main Menu (or a particular form) but allow it on other forms where Printing is required via the Shortcut Menu.
Im looking at 2 options; edit the shortcut menu or force a form to disable that w/o affecting other forms.
I'm using Access 2000. When I click the File menu to go to a recently used file, the entire path is shown. With my file system, the File drop down widow is about 50 characters too short to show the entire path all the way out to where I keep my database. Is there a way to shut off the viewing the entire path "feature?"
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.

Hope this isn't too silly, but I've just discovered "decompile". Instructions don't mention back ends and front ends. Do you have to run decompile on the FE and again on the BE, or is it sufficient to do it only on the FE (which has links to tables in the BE).

I'm beginning to lose the will to live over this one. I've been merrily developing a large application (ADP) in Access 2000 and 2003 over the past 5 years. The size of the ADP is now around 30MB and it contains the following quantities of objects:
23 modules
424 forms (409 with modules)
296 reports (284 with modules)
My problem is that whenever I use the decompile switch and then recompile I get the dreaded "The Save Operation Failed" message on saving the code and the whole ADP is then rendered corrupt. My only option is to create a new ADP and import each object type (Modules first, then forms then reports) separately, compiling as I go. This seems to work OK but when I open a file I've been working on in Access 2000 on an Access 2003 PC it seems to decompile it by itself and then won't compact/save. Does anyone have any ideas about this? I've searched Google and can't come up with any reasonable suggestions.
I am using Access 2010.
Under options, current database I have DESELECTED "compact on close"
Still all my databases are compacting on close. How can I prevent Access to compact on close?
Problem is that we work under Citrix and sometimes things happens with Citrix that they have to reboot all the servers.
The databases tries to close and compact and don't get enough time, so I get mdb copies.
Besides I recently had only the compacted database1.mdb while my file Name.accdb was gone, so again the compact was wrong.
I currently manually run a compact and repair on the backend of a database at work, but was wondering if it might be sensible to set it to compact on close so that (in theory) it is done at least daily and therefore shouldn't take much time?
The back end resides on a network server, which is backed up continuously, so in theory it should be easy enough to roll back to a backup copy should anything untoward happen.
Within batch file, I use the following command: MSACCESS.EXE mymdbpath /compact
I get the exclusive in use error. How can I suppress such error or warning messages from within the batch file?.
Hey,
I've been working on my DB for some time(thanks for the help with that:) ) then one day I open it up and my file/edit/view etc menu is gone!
After trying to open with shift to see if I've disabled it by accident. with no joy i tried open access on its own not by the project file and its not there either.
After a quick google I've the apparent solution for this happening in word. (http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/MissingMenusEtc.htm)
But this doesn't seem to port to access.
Any help appreciated.
In my access applications i have used the database split built in functionallity to split my frontend and backend tables.I have created a mail mechanism and when the database grows to that level i recieve a mail, ask users to get out of the database and compact the database. But this is tiding. I have a scheduled job that compacts databases early in the morning before users logged on. But during day work databases grow enormous again. Well is there a way by VBA code to create an auto compact function that on idle will log off all users in the database and compact it?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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
