I need code for save dialog file ,and select the file from textbox and save it to the selected location.i have only this code and i dont know what else i can do with this because it just opens the save file dialog !
I recently upgraded a DB from 2003 to 2013 and ran into the following problem.
I have a button that opens a file dialog box and allows the user to upload a file to a predetermined location (and store the address as a hyperlink). I borrowed this code from someone else on here and modified it slightly.
In any case, the button still works, but now when it opens it doesn't have an option for "All files" under file types. So I can upload MS Office files, text files, etc., but not PDF files which are by far the most common types my users upload.
Here's my code and a screenshot is attached.
Private Sub Command35_Click() Dim dd As Integer Dim fileDump As FileDialog Set fileDump = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen) dd = fileDump.Show
I used the suggested code from this forum to import a file with the open file dialog box. It works great to that point, but how do I specify which table I want it to populate with this data?? Thanks!

I would like to put a cmdbutton on a form to open the File Dialog box directly from Access whereby users can search through folders and open a any file selected. I have searched the web and found a link:
http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0001.htm
I have copied the code into a module and the code behind the cmdbutton but getting an error. Can anyone help me is finding a solution or an example? Thanks.
I want to retrieve some parameters from file, So for that i want to implement File Open Dialog in One of the form. File Open Dialong is available in Micrososft Common Dialog controls.
When i choose Microsoft Common dialog control from extra toolbars, it gives me error saying that "You don't have licence for using Common Control ActiveX.
I am trying to display an open file dialog window so that the user can pick up a file. I wish the window to show a specific folder. How can I do this? The code I am using is below. The parameter InitialFileName has no effect on the outcome.
Code: Function GetFileName(strPath As String, imtype As String) As String On Error GoTo Err_GetFileName Dim Dlg As FileDialog Dim sfl As FileDialogSelectedItems Dim sflitem As Variant Set Dlg = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
When trying to set a password I receive the following message.
You must have the database open for exclusive use to set or remove the database password.
To open the database exclusively, close the database, and then reopen it by clicking the File tab and using the Open command, In the Open dialog box, click the arrow next to the Open button and then select Open Exclusive.
When I follow the instructions, I don't get a dialog box. How do I set a password?
Does anyone know the code for opening a specific notepad file from a button? I know there's a default button but it only opens a blank notepad page. I need to open some written instructions from a button you see.
I would like to have a button in a form that the end user clicks and they then enter the name of the tif file they are looking for and on pressing enter the file is searched for and if found it is automatically opened up for them to see, if it is not found then a message "File Not Found" is displayed.
I Believe that I will need something like this:
Code:
Dim FS As FileSystemObject Dim filenum As Integer Dim tmp As String Dim Folder As Folder Dim subFolder As Folder Dim File As File
[Code] .....
It's when I get to this point that I've got stuck, I don't know how to structure the code required to do the search and on finding the tif file open it.
An example tif file I might search for is: 0H214_2CJ0001905.tif.
I 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.
Cannot Open Database". It may not be a database that your application recognizes, or the file may be corrupt. I have a colleague that is using Microsoft Access to import objects from SQL server but he's getting the above error. I've checked the login my colleagues uses and it has all the right permissions ect but I cannot seem to figure out why this error is still happening. Is it something to do with the SQL server or Microsoft Access?
I was successfully using a front end and back end setup for the past two years. Today I needed to push through some changes and "deactivate" the previous back end database and setup a new back end database. The new back end database has been sent; however the front end is not recognizing the back end database anymore. I need to re-link the existing front end to the back end database - I cannot import the front end into a "fresh" file because I put a password on the VBA Editor.
when I open a pdf through access weather it is by hyperlink or attachment it always opens the full size of my monitor, if I open a pdf outside access then they open ok , how do I set the size that access opens the pdf the size I want.
I have a database setup to keep track of spare parts in my inventory. I want to have a button on my form page that will bring up a file with pictures of the object.
I have a field on a form which the user currently has to manually type in the file path to a specific picture on a local drive. After the file path is entered, the path is linked and the picture is shown in an image box. I did this because I didnt want to bog the database down with attached files.
I wondered if I could have a browse button, which when pressed brought up the browse window to allow you to locate the image (using the standard windows browser). Then when you clicked ok, it writes the filename into the correct field on the form.
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.
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.
How to open the regular filterdialog (with the checkboxen for the different values) in a report with VBA. With the regular filterdialog I mean the one you get when you select a column and then push the filterbutton.
I have a field in a form to which I wish to be able to browse to a particular PDF file. This location is then to be a hyperlink that when clicked upon, it will open the chosen file.
I have seen a thread already for file browsing, but it said to look at the VBA code, which I have no idea what it means :(
I am currently using Access 2010, and have successfully split a database, using the Access wizard.However, whenever a second or third user opens the database - with their front-end database file - they encounter the following message;The Microsoft Access Database engine cannot open or write to the file ". It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view and write its data.
I have researched the internet and see that it has something to do with network permissions. I have worked with my IT department and this appears to be resolved!
Is there a setting I need to check in the front-end and/or back-end copies of the databases?Why is there no file name in the error message?
Hi every body . I found this code that supposed to allow me browse for .mdb file and select it. But unfortunely i could not set it up. could an expert help me set this up in access 2000. Furthermore how i can refrence the loaded .mdb file when ever i want to use it instead of current db in vba.Thanks

I have the following to code to let the user select a file.. It worked before but suddenly stopped working...I remember adding some reference but I dont remember exactly the name of the reference..
After I did this, I converted the database from 2000 - 2002/2003 ..back and forth...I did not change/remove any references.
I have access 2003 but my database is in 2000 format because my teammates have 2000.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I have a problem. This problem is that when I generate the report, I want to show a save file dialog box. How can I do this and and retrict the files show to only "*.pdf" files. I tried it as follow:
Private Sub SaveFile_Click()
Set FDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogSaveAs)
With FDialog .Filters.Add "Acrobat Files", "*.pdf" .Show End With
End Sub
error is araised when executing .Filters.Add "Acrobat Files", "*.pdf": Object doesnt support property or method.
I have my form where each records image displays as you scroll through the records. I want to add a control similar to the file dialog control, where users can browse to an image file on their machine, and then preview it and Update it.
