General :: User To Review Address Register - Auto Alert When Changes / Additions Made
Sep 27, 2012
I've got a database that allows all users to review an address register. If they find errors or mostly get updated information they have another form they can fill out to make the recommended changes. Only I have access to the main DB to make the change permanent.
The question I have is there a way for Access to send me a notification that someone has requested the change?
I know that sending an email is doable - in Access. However, that's not an option for our network here. I was thinking something along the command prompt "Net Send" command. However I've not been able to get that to work by itself - let alone within Access...
I have used VB code in the past to store what PC is using the database, I could modify that to alert me whenever I open the DB up from my PC. But I was trying to get away from having to open this particular DB up every day and check for changes.

Hello,
This is my first post.
I have built an access database (Access 2002) which contains around 370 records.
It would be useful to be able to click a button on a form to review which records (forms) have been amended or what records are new.
This could be presented by either (1) sorting the records so the newest/or latest changed records came first, followed by the next most recent etc etc, or by (2) presenting a list of record names which could be followed manually.
I have tried several text books but have been unable to find a solution so any help from the experts would be very welcome.
Thank you ~ David.

Any way to send auto alert without opening Ms. Access program.
I have created a program which requires to send auto alert on certain dates. Due to some travel plans manager might not be able to open the program every day (might not open the program on certain dates where I set the alerts) and the chances are he will miss those alerts if he won't open the program.

I am using this [URL] .... in our project but have made a minor change so it logs people out rather than close Access completely. It works beautifully but I want to take it a step further.
Instead of hardcoding the times in these two values
intMinutesUntilShutDown = 10
intMinutesWarningAppears = 2
I'd like to give users the options to set these themselves as not everyone will be the same. I am thinking I would have to check for who is currently using the database, this is stored in a hidden form in the following field.
[Forms]![frmwhoson]![whoson]
This username matches the users First Name in table Employees and in this table I have two fields to store these values
logmeoutafter
showlogoutmessagefor
So passing these values for the current user rather than having the logout times hardcoded.

have a vba code written to have my MS Access 2007 tell Outlook to send an e-mail with several attachments to whom it may concern, but I need it to change the "From" field in the e-mail, because there's many people who can send this, but it's looking like it's all being sent as my user. This is the code, it all works, but it doesn't change the sender field. Should I make some sort of auto-login macro or something?
Call fctnOutlook("Reconsideraciones BCH", EmailTasador, Email, , Subjet, "Agradecer revisar la tasacin indicada, de acuerdo a lo pedido en email adjunto, y me des tu opinin. " & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Favor no responder a Reconsideraciones BCH, no recibe correos es solo para enos, enviar a visador indicado en el email" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Le saluda atte." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & usu & vbCrLf & "Seccin Tasaciones" & vbCrLf & "Banco de Chile" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & vbCrLf, Nz(Tpath), "Yes;No;Maybe", 2, True)
With objMail
.To = EmailTasador
.CC = Email
.Subject = Subjet
.Attachments.Add (Tpath)
[code]....

Hi,
I have a form with some bound fields and some unbound fields. If I make any change to the bound fields I can use the "Before update" event to perform some actions when a user tries to move onto a new record.
What I now need is if a user doesn't make any change to the bound fields but makes a change to an unbound field - how can I check this before the next record is displayed. Is there any event I can use? Each time a user tries to move to a new record I want to check first if they have added anything to an unbound field.
Users can move onto the next record using buttons or the record navigator at the end of the form.
Many Thanks,

While I was trying to test one of my forms (which was NOT working and I had to totally redesign it), I somehow created a bunch of stores in my Store Information table...some with no names, some with the first letter of an existing store, and there was even a duplicate of the store which is creating a problem now because some products exist in Store 1A and others exist in Store 1B.
I've created a query to identify the wayward products and am changing those. I'll delete that store then.
My issue is...can I set it so that the ONLY place a new store can be created is in the Store Information Input form? That if someone makes a typo when entering products, it doesn't create a new store?

I have an access 2007 database that is split front end and back end. There are about 15 users and the backend is stored on the network. Currently I am e-mailing out the FE when chagnes are made so they have the latest copy.
With everything I have read I think a bat file would work the best at allowing me to make changes on demand without having to continually email out new versions of the FE. Sometimes the changes are behind the scenes unnoticable to the user while others are obvious.
Questions: Exactly HOW does a bat file work? When the user clicks on the access file stored on their laptop? Where is the bat file stored? I am unfamiliar with where to write the bat file code as well - notepad perhaps?
I am not sure how to create a bat file and what the code should be?
For version tracking I need to put a version table in the BE and in the front end correct?
have made a few significant changes but I'm holding out e-mailing it if I can get this version copying figured out and in place first.

I have a form in continuous forms mode...
Each entry is something the user is supposed to check on once and hour and update.
I have a "Last updated" field.
Now() goes into that field every time the record is updated.
I have a querry that will show the users records that are over an hour old.
How can I get Access to pop-up a window or something to alert the user they need to look at something? It would be really nice if Aspect would start blinking in the task bar or something.
Thanks!

I have a few tables, one of which stores a record of changes made to user accounts, and some of those changes are linked to a "multichange" table for when I have made the same change to multiple accounts.
What I am trying to do is select the change_id from my changes table, with a limit of 1 as I only want one result (it will always be the same) but I am using this query and getting a syntax error telling me I have a missing operator.
Code:
SQL_SELECT = "SELECT change_id from dbo_user_change where username = '" & username & "' AND change_type = 'new account' LIMIT 1"
Set qresults = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(SQL_SELECT)
Do While Not qresults.EOF
multichange_id = qresults.Fields(1)
qresults.MoveNext
Loop
qresults.Close

Hi,
I am nearing the endgame of a FE/BE app. The FE will sit on various PC's across a LAN. IS there a way that when a user opens a record (via a form) on his FE (on his PC), the IP addy of that PC will be automatically entered into a hidden field on the form and store it in a purpose specific field on the BE table.
So I guess my question is how do I get the IP into a field on a table? Either "default" in the table, or via a field on a form? And what would the syntax for such an auto-populate be?
Thanks

I created the .accde to distribute only the compiled file. But I have a problem. When you open the file .accde there is this problem of security: You can not determine whether the content is from a trusted source. Leave off the contents, unless they provide essential capabilities and the source is considered reliable. Open the file or cancel the operation? How Can I avoid the visualization of this security alert?

We are working on an Access (2007) database that is on a SharePoint Site (2007).
Currently the form is operational, but there is one last thing that would be nice to have.
The table is "Updated Headcount" which contains "EMP_ID" which are unique numbers stored as text.
In the event a new employee is entered in the system by another user on this site we would like to prevent any duplicate "EMPID"s from being entered and saved on the SharePoint, we would also like to alert the user and prevent the data from being saved.
All data is currently bound, so once the user makes a change it is made, no submit button is required.
We are running into some difficulties in doing a dlookup from the value entered and comparing to a column in the table.
TABLE - UPDATED HEADCOUNT
COLUMN in UPDATED HEADCOUNT - EMPID
FORM CELL user will input an EMPID - newEMPID
FORM CELL used for a dlookup to compare what user has entered to what is already in the table - duplicateEMPID
So below is what we are trying to do, we are sure there are a few commands missing....
=IIF(newEMPID=dlookup([UPDATED HEADCOUNT]![EMPID]), newEMPID, "Error, EMPID already exists")

It has really been awhile I posted in this forum
I have a form purchase order details, that I used to enter quantity of items purchased. I found out that I can't delete quantities entered on the form. It appears to delete, but on checking the quantity in the inventory, it was not deleted. The vba code in my quantity section of the page is this
Quantity_AfterUpdate()
Dim IT As InventoryTransaction
If Me![Quantity] = 0 Then
RemoveCurrentLineItem
End If
AddPurchase Me![Purchase Order ID], Me![Item ID], Me![Quantity], NewInventoryID
End Sub

I currently have a database set up with three basic forms:
Form 1 = Main menu with options to go to Form 2 and Form 3
Form 2 = Employee information form which includes email address
Form 3 = Employee document upload form
My goal is once the Employee is registered in Form 2 they can then upload a document in Form 3. When they upload this document and fill out other parameters Including their bosses name (which is captured as a record in Form 2) they click "Submit Form." I would like for this submit form button to populate an email that is updated to send to the selected "Bosses name"
Currently on the Submit form button I have:
Private Sub Submit_Record_Click()
DoCmd.SendObject _
, _
, _
, _
"email .com", _ <-- this is what I want to autopopulate with the correct persons email (as well as their name below)
, _
, _
"***A new Lab Report has been submitted for your review***", _
"Bosses name," & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Please log into the Report Database and review the latest pending report. If you have any questions please contact the sender." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "This is an automated response generated from Microsoft Access." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Sincerely," & vbCrLf & "ESBU Lab Report Database", _
False
DoCmd.Close
End Sub

I have been trying to set up a batch file to allow users to copy the latest version of the front end whenever a change is made. The following is the code that I am trying to get to work properly. The first part works fine, the old front end is copied to a folder on the user's desktop as a backup. But I cannot get the copy of the server - the "P" drive, to overwrite the current copy on the user's desktop. Actually I cannot get the code to copy the new front end from the server and install it on the user's desktop. I think the path is correct for I seem to be able to run the new front end from the server.
When I look for the location on my computer, the server locations is listed as:
General (Servernamefiles) (P: ) (there is no space after the P: it seems to result in a smiley face when I type it and try to post it).
for /f "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /T') do set year=%%c
for /f "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /T') do set month=%%a
for /f "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /T') do set day=%%b
set TODAY=%year%-%month%-%day%
rem echo %TODAY%
[Code] .....
This code works so I thought that the path was correct
rem this works
rem start the new DB front end
Start P:AccessMainSplitBENewFrontEndDBMain.accdb
But this code does not.
echo f | xcopy /f/y/ P:AccessMainSplitBENewFrontEndDBMain.accdb c:UsersUserNameDesktopDBMain.accdb
Neither does this:
echo f | xcopy /f/y/ ServerNamefilesP:AccessMainSplitBENewFrontEn dDBMain.accdb c:UsersUserNameDesktopDBMain.accdb

I have been working on a database which is going to integrate a client database with any emails they send to me. The idea is that I will create a sub form as part of the contact information section which will show any emails that have been sent from that contact. I have a field which has the email address in the contact section and I want to link the contact to the sub form by the 'email address' and the 'from' field in the link outlook folder.
This all works great except that access links to the outlook folder and in the 'from' field, it shows the display name instead of the email address it was sent from. Is there anyway to tell it to extract the email address itself instead of the display name, or is there another way of achieving this same thing?
I'm using outlook and access 2010
