I'm working on an access database and I need to connect that database to the reminder function of Outlook.
At first, I set the reminder precisely six months before the due date, everything was okay and the reminder worked. But after some revision required by my supervisor, I need to set the reminder based on month (not exactly on the due date), so the tasks which have due dates in the same month will be wrapped into a single reminder. The reminder also should be appear in every two weeks. Here's the code I've been worked on :
Code:
Private Sub Expired_AfterUpdate()
Dim outLookApp As Outlook.Application
Dim outLookTask As Outlook.TaskItem
Set outLookApp = CreateObject("outlook.application")
Set outLookTask = outLookApp.CreateItem(olTaskItem)
[Code]...
I put this code on the AfterUpdate event in the column containing the due date. How should I rearrange the code so it would be able for the reminder to appear based on the month? (just consider that the reminder will be active six months before due date).
I have created an email message to be sent via a closing button on a form, using the DoCmd.SendObject command. It all works fine except that MS Outlook then puts a message box on the screen with a countdown bar saying that MS Access is trying to access Outlook and to press Yes if this is to be allowed.
Is there any way that I can disable this message box please. I appreciate that this is more an Outlook problem than an Access one, but some database programmer has probably come across the same problem before.
I have a form (Access 2010) in which i insert contracts; each contract has a start and an expiry date, but instead of dd/mm/yyyy i would like the user to be able to insert just the year, while the day and month are predefined values and they are automatically inserted (i.e. 01/10/yyyy; the year being the only value that changes, and it is manually inserted by the user).
I would like to set a pop up remainder (on form load) x days before the expiry date, but, because too many of them have the same expiry date i am wondering if the reminder can be set on different days, based on another field (i.e. partner location [country]).. i.e. reminder for contracts with Austria to pop up 60 days before expiring, for UK = 67 days and so on.. or even a specific day for each, i.e. for Austria = 01/08/yyyy, for UK 01/09/yyyy).
how to terminate reminders.i have made borrowing system and it will have date taken and date return..for now, my pop up reminder will pop up in a week before the date return.
my problem right now is if the user return the cd early than the actual date return, the reminder will still pop up. it is because, i have no function to check out the cd..how to make the check out and also can disable the reminder if i click the check out for that borrowing.
I'd like to know how to implement a pop-reminder that runs reminding the user of the database of :
1. some to-do actions for the current day or, for example, a week ahead of a certain event, that is related to some date previously entered in a table.
2. this should be within the access database.
3. I saw something like that in the [URL]... website, but actually couldn't understand it.
I need to create a guest database for a small hotel. And I would like to create a pop-up alert that appears when I open MS Access to remind me birthdays of the guests.
Is it possible to set an access database to take a depreciation value of lets say 10.00, and subtract this from the current value every month?
So far my database has a form where you can input the depreciable life, purchase price, current value and total depreciation. However the date and amount of depreciation has to be added manually into a data table for the text boxs to calculate how much it has depreciated and the current value.
My database has a crosstab query that counts the number of hits by month. I have two columns that are named "Count of Material"(Frequency) and "Sum of ordered Qty"(Total ordered). I need add a colum to find the Average Monthly Demand by dividing the Total ordered/Frequency/number of months in the query. I have tried everything to make it work but can't.
I'm developing a database that tracks monthly metrics of employees. These employee are at several different locations.
Here's what I would like:
A table of the employees and their location.
A table of the metrics.
A form that you can select an employee and it would autofill the location and then you could fill out the metrics. the ability to change an employee's location without it effecting past records.
A report, by month and location of the employee's metrics. (pretty sure I can do this on my own, just can't get to this point.)
I've tried to use a auto lookup query but that then changes the employees location on past records.
I'm altering a database to have certain fields be recorded monthly.For example: instead of a client's file having "Total X Purchased" it would now be "Total X Purchased - Jan", "Total X Purchaed - Feb".
I want to spin the monthlies out of the master clients table & in to ex. tbl_clientsJan, tbl_clientsFeb, etc. but still have them linked; & have a "Totals" table that aggregates data from all of the tables (adds them up).
I have an existing form, & I was thinking of just creating tabs for the months & subforms in each with their sources as the month tables, & removing the fields that don't change month-to-month (e.g. client name), with relationships between them. I would start by copying all of the master table data in to the month tables & allowing edits from there.
the company doesn't track when the transactions occurred; I'm unable to group them along those lines.I'm new to Access & don't want to make a mistake.
I need to make a report that shows a work schedule for 10 employees. I need it to print in a monthyly calendar format with horizontal lines to show start and end date and time. I need it to show that there is or is not any overlap for that machine."
It has been a while since I have created a DB and I get some of this okay. So far I think I need three tables. One is the machines. Two is the product schedule (how long it takes to produce X number of products). The last would be work orders and that pretty much covers the data.
I think most of the data can be maniputated by queries and that is even done on the report. The report as we all know is the reason for a database. If it was just about the data it would be simpler to do a spreadsheet. It could get fancy and make a pivot table. That output can be a calendar of sorts.
I want to create a report for the Monthly cleaning plan of a hotel. For each day, how many rooms need new sheets, how many need new towels etc.
At this point I can generate a report for any given day.
This could be an example of what I want to achieve
Code: ------------ Date | Date+1 | Date+2 | Date+3 New Sheets 2 1 0 2 New Towels 1 3 0 1 Full Clean 0 1 2 0
"Date" is a date tat you can set, after which you'll get the following 30 days("Date+1","Date+2" etc)
I thought that a CrossTab query would give me what I want,but using the wizzard I can't get the result that I want. Haven't worked with crosstab queries before so maybe I'm doing something wrong, or maybe this isn't even possible with a crosstab query.
I have an Access database update process that is run from the Win7 scheduler. I have attempted to instantiate or reference Outlook and send an email indicating the status of the process.
Outlook fails for some reason, but it works fine interactively regardless of whether Outlook is running or not.
I want to be able to click on a button on one of my forms and it create a new outlook email.I also want this email to have an attachment that is a report that I already have made.
with the linking tables thing to outlook can it be reversed. ie if i have a table that was linked to outlook outbox would the records form an email just like the emails from my inbox form a record.
i wanting to send emails automatically to many recipients. so i would have to use a record set and i thought that if i build the email in a record then have outlook pick it up then that would be the easiest way.
Is there a way to auto populate a table or form in Access from an Outlook email? For instance, if I send a survey via email and the survey is taken and sent back via email is there a way to have that data auto fill into the database or will the info need to be manually data entered?
I have a folder under the default on in outlook named ANOTHER FOLDER. All I am trying to do is add the blasted entry to this folder. At the moment though it is adding the information to the default calendar and not ANOTHER FOLDER. I'm just testing at the moment but I have tried all manner of combination but no dice.
Code:
'Error 429 occurs with GetObject if Outlook is not running. On Error Resume Next Set objOutlook = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application") If Err.Number = 429 Then 'Outlook is NOT running.
1. A Windows Server 2008 with MSEXCHANGE 2. A Windows Server 2008 with Terminal Server - my MSAccess database FE & BE is installed on this server. 3. Both servers are on the same LAN network. 4. The APPOINTMENT BOOK is in the MSAccess database and i have add the the idividual MAILBOXES in my tblEmployees. 5. I want the employees to make their appointments in the APPOINTMENT BOOK (4 above) and then the appointment must also be inserted/displayed in the employees MSOutlook calendar. 6. This works fine when the employees MSOutlook is open on the Terminal Server (2 above).
this will in effect mean that we need to open all users (emplyees) MSOutlook on the Terminal Server to insert the appointments from the MSAccess database into the MSOutlook calendar.I should think that there must be a way to insert the appointments from the MSAccess database into MSOutlook without opening all the the users MSOutlook on Terminal Server?
I want to use Access to collect data for our research department. I have created a number of forms to assist the department in collecting data. I created a query with all the fields from the relevant tables to be used to collect the data. I used the option Collect and Update data via email to generate the form for collecting the data and emailed the form to myself for testing (gmail account), however, I cannot edit any of the fields.
My 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?
