General :: Changing Hyperlinks In Access Table
Dec 13, 2012
I'm having a problem changing the hyperlinks in my access table.the hyperlinks point to locations of various documents on the server i.e. Server Quality DocumentsDoc1.docx
we have 2 domains at work so on one domain the hyper link works but on the other it doesn't.I did a find and replace so i have formatted all hyperlinks as such..Server.mydomain.localQualityDocumentsDoc1.doc x
However, this approach hasn't worked as it has only altered the 'text to display' and not the actual address (if i right click the hyperlink -> edit hyperlink the address is still ServerQualityDocumentsDoc1.docx).Is there away to change the Address fields of all the hyperlinks in one go?

Here's a tip for anyone trying to update or change a series of existing hyperlinks: you can use the >edit>replace feature on the menu to make changes to multiple records, BUT first you need to change the field type to text. Access shows only the display part of the hyperlink in a table when the field type is set as hyperlink, but the actual link info is hidden. If you change the field type to text the hidden link appears, and you can use replace to make the changes you want. Be sure to set the length of the text field to 250 before making the change. When you're done just change the field type back to hyperlink, and you're good to go.
For example, we had dozens of hyperlinks to documents in folders listed by months. When we moved all of the February documents to March, i had to update all of the hyperlinks. I change the hyperlink field type to text, did a replace search on 'February 2006' (any part of the field) and change it to 'March 2006'. The I switched the field type back to hyperlink. I didn't find anything on this procedure after searching the forums, so I thought I'd pass it along.

I have built an Access 2010 split database on my computer and it functions as built. My next step was to copy it to the server at work and test it. I discovered the tables had to be re-linked and so did that. As I have read in the Access World Forums in order to function as a multi-user database a copy of the front end must be placed on the individual workstation with the back end residing on the server, however the hyperlinks in the back end will not function when the copy on the workstation is run. I simply get an unable to open "filename" error pop-up. I can run the server copy and everything functions as built. I know that the hyperlinks require all the files to be in the same folder (relative vs. absolute), but if the back end contains all the hyperlinks why does the location of the front end seem to affect the operation of the back end?

how am I suppose to change the form name in the forms in VBA access, now see I would not want to change the names by using the coding.
Please note that I have got so many forms, however I have worked with the default names to start some of them would be, form1, form2 Now, when I am trying to follow the best practice approch, by changing the form name by right clicking and hitting rename, I am unable do so as it is popping up and giving me a statement as below.
"The form name 'Form2' is missspelled or refers to a form that does not exist" and continued in the next line as below
"if the invalid form name is in macro, an Action failed dialog box will display the macro name and the macro's arguments after you click OK. Open the Macro window, and either the correct name."

I have a small Access DB (multi-user) on a network that keeps turning into a read-only DB, with a message bar saying please save as . . . and it will not let you complete that. It seems to lock the application, and when I can get everyone out and copy the file out I can finally get it back to its normal state.

When I change a font for a control, save it and then reopen it the font changes back to another font.
It's always the same font.
I'm trying to save it to Calibri but it reverts back to Constantia for some reason.
I've deleted the bound control and added it back but it did no good.
The only way I can change the font is to set it in the On Load of the form.

In Access 2002, I have a Phone Number field (Text) that is meant to store (obviously enough) phone numbers. However, when I enter 2009 as the last four digits (ex. (555)-555-2009) the number is changed to (555)-555-2010. This also occurs if I enter the number directly into the table (which doesn't have an input mask). I have tested it in a new form (even without input mask), and a new table, which both result in the exact same thing.

I would like to get a third party to edit a database and record those edits by changing the colour of the font. I know this can be done in layout mode, but it changes the font in all records, I only wish to change the font colour in one record, how I can do this, without changing all the records in the database.

I have a comment box that was just for text. I have been asked to adapt this to allow a web URL to be typed in which would then become a clickable hyperlink (like typing in a Word document). Is this possible?

Hi,
I am a newbie at Access and this forum. Here is the question I have a database set-up in Access'97 which recently got converted to Access'03. Now previously database reside on my computer and I have a field that holds hyperlinks to documents which were set as relative paths. Now the database has been moved to another location..where ofcourse the relative path don't work, as the parent directory is different. There are a huge number of records in the database with hyperlinks. I need to convert all relative path to absolute paths. Is there an easier and faster way of doing this? Perhaps via a query? I don't want to do this one by one.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I have a 2 part question. I'm looking to enter the names of different files that I have for a particular client so that they appear/pop up as a list in a subform in "real time". I'd also like those file names to be hyperlinks to their actual location on my server. Is there any way to do this?

I am creating a database that basically holds product information. The different fields I have is Supplier, Product Code, Product Description.
For each product I have a product specification in a word document the names of these specifications follow this convention: [Supplier]&[Product Code] e.g. Coca Cola012345
I need a hyperlink to link to the relevant word document, but rather than going through and setting them up one by one I want the hyperlink to be self calculating depending on the information entered in the fields.
I tried typing in the following in the hyperlink address part in the properties:
=[Supplier]&[Product Code]&".doc"
but it seems to read it exactly as I type it in and obviously does not work.
Can anyone suggest a way round this or perhaps a completely different way of doing it which may be more effective???
Thanks in anticipation of your help.

Trying to paste hyperlinks in main table - Access allowed me to paste one - using the edit-paste hyperlink function- however now and forevermore that function is "grayed out" and I can no longer paste hyperlinks - I need to past approximately 1400 hyperlinks into a table so that the user can access secure intranet sites by clicking on the appropriate field in the form view -
If I can't get this to work...is it possible to run a macro from a command button on the form to open Internet explorer, paste stated text into the address bar (example www.) and then paste data from a field in the form into the string in the address bar, and then finally, follow up with stated text.
Example would be: Field=1234567
Macro opens explorer and pastes "www.testwebpage1234567toprovepoint.com into the address bar.
thanks...

I have a table with fields of Title, Description, and URL. I have a report with a text box, IsHyperlink set to yes and Control Source set to =[Title] & "#" & [URL] & "#" . When I open the report in report view, it works great - the Title is displayed as a hyperlink and if I click it, I go to the URL. However, if I export the report to rtf or excel, I only get the Title - it is not a hyperlink. How to get the display text (Title) and hyperlink address (URL) from the access report to Word rtf and excel.

Say you have multiple excel sheets where forecasting is done daily.
For example, sheet one headings: Depot, department, location, 01/09/10, 02/09,10, 03/09/10
and then second sheet is similar but: Depot, department, location, 02/09/10, 03/09/10, 04,09, 10 - as you can see each day the forecast starts a day after and ends one date late (14 days each in the real one)...
How to I join all these forecasts into one table; vertically with each forecast identified by the day it start for analysis later.. rather than doing cross-tabulate which would take ages, I just need to keep adding more excel sheets but the headings change as they are dates...

So... I have the pivot table with the following columns...
Sum of Numerator, Sum of Denominator, and a computed field for Rate
My Rate calculation is: iif(Denominator = 0, Null, Numerator/Denominator)...
I have at least 15 of these rates (numerator, denominator, rate) on the same report..it works fine, but my business analyst has clarified the Rate requirement that if the denominator is 0 then the Rate should display 0 (instead of Null)..
When I change my Rate computed field to iif(Denominator = 0, 0, Numerator/Denominator) and press the "Change" button all the numerators and denominators on the pivot table are blanked out... I've refreshed the pivot table and everything; but, I can't stop this from happening. why the heck can't Access' pivot table be as robust as Excel's ???

I have a database (split into front and backend). Users populate the table using a form on the front end. Recently, it has been pointed out that some of the data entered into one specific textbox is being changed on the table. The data entered is always has a minimum of a letter and number value i.e. "A1", "A2" etc. Upon examining the table, this has changed into numeric values i.e. "1291", "1061", "852"... etc. Looks like it is translating them into both 3 and 4 digit numerical values by the looks of things. Where more complex data is entered such as "2(A1, A2)" these seem unaffected.
The field is set to text, I have set no validation rule, format or input mask. Just can't see why access is changing these values. It seems to be translating them, but I can't see a pattern.

When I try to transfer (ctrl c + v) data from a table in Excel to a table in Access it loses format.
Exemple: $ 1.000,00 (Excel) become 1000 (Access).
I need to keep the format to make sure that the code works properly.

I have an MS Access accdb with linked SQL Server 2012 ODBC tables. I am working on a procedure to copy data from local tables to these linked tables (identical schema). I did a simple
Code:
DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO linkedTable SELECT * FROM localTable"
This works, but is very slow. Way too slow. (INSERT copies the data one record at a time).
I would like to copy the data in a bulk operation, or operations that I can execute programmatically.

We are currently using Access 2007 for all our database needs but so many different people have had access to changes things that now they are so convoluted that my boss is wanting me to build a brand new database...

I have taken over exisiting databases and the names for the tables,forms,queries,reports are not technically named correctly.. What would be the easiest way to rename everything accordingly:
tbl for table
qry for query
rpt for report
mcr for macro
bas for module
frm for form.
Of Course they have names but it is hard to tell when viewing a query for instance if you are looking at a table or a query.... in the SQL View.
