General :: DocmdTransferText And Adding Links To Document
Mar 25, 2015
I'm currently working on a way to import data from many word documents into a table - I've got this working fine using the following code:
Code:
Private Sub bImportFiles_Click()
On Error GoTo bImportFiles_Click_Err
Dim objFS As Object, objFolder As Object
Dim objFiles As Object, objF1 As Object
Dim strFolderPath As String
[code]....
However, I'm wanting to add a link to those files to the table so that the user can click on the record (or select one and then use a button) to open each document in it's native environment (MS Word). I've tried adding a self-referencing hyperlink to a form in the word document and then reading that in - but that doesn't seem to work. As these files may move around (and there are a lot of them) I need to make sure it's done automatically so can't really get the user to write it in manually.

I have a code to add links to files into a field, I recently migrated from Windows 7 to 8 and the name of the folders in 8 are different; therefore the database I have does not find the linked file anylonger.
To avoid this happening in future, I would like to have the option for the user to set the folder path through maybe a table and then the link will refer to the settings in the table.
Currently I am using the following code:
Private Sub AddLinkDoc_Click()
Dim strFilter As String
Dim strInputFileName As String
Dim varDirectory As String
varDirectory = "C:UsersMarco TagliaferriDocumentsBA CityflyerCrew SchedulerDocumentationDocs"
[Code] ......

I have built a simple database (by no means complete) but I am after adding some further code into it. Basically on the form [FrmMain] I have a button that allows me to send a document to a relevant CSU contact. It finds the file name based on the info in the table TblResident. What I want to do is open the word document before sending and add a password to it using vba.

I'm trying to add the information from a form and subforms to a report. This would be a medication mar sheet and needs to be in the format of the attached word document. I'm happy to do it in a report and change the formatting if that will work better. The personal info needs to go at the top and the medication needs to be listed on each sheet.
The form is called FrmMarSheet. It basically needs the info from that like the "sample mar sheet.doc". I can only get one medication per page to work at the moment.

I want to use information supplied to me by suppliers as spreadsheets to create a database that i can navigate through by selecting from drop down options.
Example;
Imagine a product being broken down by its features, such as a washing machine.
Here is a list of what i would need to sort on,
Manufacture
Model
Type
Size
Price
Colour...and so on
So, if a customer asked "what 8kg 1200rpm washing machines do you supply for under £300 and in black" i would like to able to find all that info by drilling down a few selections.

I have a main form (in a single form view) that show a record from a table. I am going to add a sub form (probably a continuous form view) which can show a list of fields (probably a name) from all records from a child table that match condition PrimaryKey = ForeignKey.
What is the best way to make the list of the fields sort of clickable so that I can click on any of them and e.g. open a form with information about a child record? Should I look for hyperlinks in reports, a list box, a continuous sub form with records?

I'm saving links to a combobox in a form, but each time I close out of the form and reopen it the Combobox doesn't keep the list of data I entered before and only keeps the last selected one in its drop down menu.
Is there a way to make the Combobox store/keep the data?

I have a client who needs a Database created in Access for him. he would like to regularly auto-populate this Access DB from an Excel file - like twice a week.In addition, he wants me to create Forms, Queries, reports and Macros for him in the Access, which will have 2 Tables from Excel files and about 3 Tables created in Access.I figured that I could do that if I gave him a link to the Tables he needed from the Excel file(s). But how do I work remotely for him- the path to those files is on his computer. I can load them to mine, but then he can't open the files.How can I create Forms etc. in an Access DB which uses links from source files as its Tables?

I have a database that pulls images from a shared folder on our network with links. Is it possible to create a button to email the current record on a form and attach the file it references in the link?
The attachment is a pdf signature. I didn't want to include the files in the database for space issues.
I am using Access 2007. We out outlook as our email client.

I have a problem with the way my forms are opening.The problem is with the document tabs, not the in form tabs.Basically the database will open the login screen (Modal & Popup) on load, after a successful login the user is redirected to a diary events page and the login form closes, then a user can select an ID (hyperlinked) which will open up a popup/modal form for more details and then if they want they can click a button within the popup which will view all client details.
I use VBA to close any popup/modal forms and open the Main Client Screen, at this point there are only 2 forms open in Single Form format, which is the diary events page and main client screen.The problem is once you click "view client" and the form opens, it defaults to the diary events tab, so the client screen is opening behind the diary events form, you then have to click the document tab for "client screen" to be able to view the form, which is a minor issue but annoying still.

I have a contacts database for an accountant with hyperlinks to numerous documents all set up and they work correctly - open the application and show document.
What I would really like to do is from within Access using VBA send an email to the client enclosing the hyperlinked document ( not the hyperlink itself which would not be available to the client).

Is it possible to link a field in Access to a footer in Word?
I have a field in Access that would look like the following;
G10E-PRO-001RevA
Additional data in access would have the document name, and revision, matching 2 lines of text in Word. I would like the footer in the document to be the above sample, which I assume could be a query that need to run to match the 2 fields of information.... not really sure if this is even possible?

Is it possible to insert a button in access form which would open a word document and populate appropriate fields with data from that form?

I am trying to add two columns with multiple records in them together using VBA.
I have one column named "Quantity" and that has 5 records going down
Column1(Row1) = 2
Column1(Row2) = 3
Column1(Row3) = 1
Column1(Row4) = 2
Column1(Row5) = 2
I have another column name "Quantity2" and that has another 5 records going down
Column2(Row1) = 1
Column2(Row2) = 4
Column2(Row3) = 2
Column2(Row4) = 2
Column2(Row5) = 2
I need a code to simply add them all together together using VBA and put the value back in a text box.
So the Value in the text box would be = 21

I have a report...with one number at the end of a line, beneath is a sum() of all the numbers above.
To test this report, I have ensured there is just one line to 'sum' ....this particular number happens to be $15.82, yet the field showing the sum of this is displaying $15.83 ...I'm going potty here trying to work out where the extra 1 is being added...it's not a rounding error as there are no further decimals involved, both fields are set to 'fixed' 2 decimal places.

i have a tbl that stores items that have an expiry. in a child table i want to store the expiry. but as it is different for each item i need a way of doing this.
i thought that by having
DateAdd('m',3,Date()) in one of the fields this would work.
on click event i would like the date add to come into play but the way i am doing it comes up with an error. too few arguments.
this is what i have so far
Code:
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim db As DAO.Database
Set db = CurrentDb
[Code].....

I have created a profiling database for my school. Each student can access their own form via the school's admission number - which I use as the primary key for most of the tables on the form. One section of the form shows a photo of the student. I take this photo from the school's SIMS photo file which had all the children's photos. Each photo in the file uses the school's admission number as its filename (for example 000358.jpg ).
I want to update the photos in my table by using a macro or piece of CBA code. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do this. When I set the database up I did each photo one at a time, so it took several hours.

I have a main table with subject id and other fields. I also have 16 other tables which have questionnaire information at 17 different timepoints. In those tables, the subject id is the only connected field between the main table and 17 different years. When I add a new record (by subject id) on the main table, I want it to add that same subject id to the 17 other tables because that subject id will eventually get all 17 years worth of data. But even using subforms, it will not add a new subject to the other tables unless I add some sort of information such as (date received) into the subform.
