CloseFile(filePath.pdf)
I have a Access 2010 DB. The mainform have a subform with one table alone.
I have a button who close Access when the user are finish on the mainform. Still I have the upper right corner X-button who also closing the app.
My problem is that when the user use the X-button then a dialog box appear and ask for saving the changes for the table in the subform on the main form. The user must then do the choise 'yes' , 'no' , 'Cancel'.
There is no need for this dialog box, (I take care if it's necessary earlier) but I can't get rid of it.
I would like to know how to refresh a form on closing event. The forms name is frmDeparturesPaymentScreen. I want to do this in a macro...

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a split db that has been in use for a few years by about 12 people. The front end is compiled into an accde file.
Ocasionally a user (randomly) might get an error message "Microsoft has detected that this database is in an inconsistent state...." when closing the db and when that happens, a copy of the front end is automatically placed on their desktop.
This front end is always deleted and the original front end continues to work just fine afterwards.
Why are my users getting this error message? Why is the front end automatically copied onto their desktops?
I have a Ms Access split database where in the backend database grows up very fast and needs to be compressed everyday. I have written a batch script to compact the same and have scheduled it to be run every night. But the script is unable to compress the backend every time since the users tend to leave the application open at the end of the day. Ideally i am looking for a command line script to forcefully close the back end database if open before attempting to compact it.
I searched on web but could not find a command line script for forcefully closing the back end database.
I do not have a split db. I am prompted to enter my password when the db opens which is fine. However, when I close the db it prompts me to enter a password (not normal) and when I enter it it says invalid password. Also, when I try to change my password it says invalid password and when I try to compact and repair my db it say invalid password.

I turned UAC all the way down. turn off the virus scanner, and have local and domain admin access. I'm at bit a lose here. I had this working before but can't seem to remember how I did it. This is just one example I have several other reports that were schedule to run overnight, but they basically all use the same code and processes.
Code:
'launch macro
set accessApp = CreateObject("Access.Application")
accessApp.OpenCurrentDatabase "C:Users******DesktopAuto ReportsAgedTrialBalance.mdb"
accessApp.DoCmd.RunMacro "MCRecent"

How can i get vba to do this.
When i click a button on the main form the vba code will execute and get the value from the combobox ie TE4700 and locate the macro with the same name ie TE4700 with reports in then it will run the macro and print off the reports.
I am having problems with an append from a spreadsheet into a pre-populated table. I am using a macro to do this.
The table is in the middle of a hierarchy of tables. For example:
table 1 - Audit - key: AuditNumber & AuditName
table 2 - Process - key: AuditNumber & AuditName & ProcessRef
table 3 - Risk - key: AuditNumber & AuditName & ProcessRef & RiskRef
table 4 - Controls - key: AuditNumber & AuditName & ProcessRef & RiskRef & ControlRef
table 5 - Control tests - key: AuditNumber & AuditName & ProcessRef & RiskRef & ControlRef & TestRef
The front end of the database has a form for each table. Once you create an Audit in table 1 you can create multiple Processes underneath this one audit. Underneath a process you can create multiple Risks...... hence a hierarchy.
I am trying to append data to table 4 - controls. I have copied the format exactly into excel. I have also prepopulated the Audit, Process and Risk data in the required tables.
The reason I want this functionality is to enable team members to populate control information (oftentimes up to 25) in excel and then upload them easily into the database.
The macro I have created will work when created a new table. but when I point it at the existing table 4 - Controls I get the Key value violation error.
I need to display a message on a form after a record update has been done depending on whether a table field is ticked or not. If it is ticked I want one message if it is not ticked I want a different message, but here is the scenario.
I have a form and one of the options I have is to call up an address from a record in a table. I want it to display a message to advise whether there is a special requirement for delivery to the address, so in the table I have a checkbox field. If its checked, once the address has been pulled up I want it top advise 'special requirement' or 'no special requirement'.
I need to do this in a macro form, or expression form if possible as I already have an after update macro when that drop down is selected.
So on the dropdown list I have the following on the afterupdate function:
SearchForRecord
Object Type :
Object Name :
Record: First
Where Co0ndition - - "[ID] = "& Str(Nz([Screen].[ActiveControl],0))
That brings up the address from a record in my table onto this form, so what I want is if that record has got a tick the checkboxfield it prompts with a message and ok button.
enable me to run some code before a button is clicked I want to be able to click a button via VBA code.Basically I used the auto button wizard to make an add record button.To ensure a shed loads of if checks and queries on the entered form data run I wanted to make this button invisible, then make a new button running code not embedded macros to run my checking module then click.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have some tables need to be imported to Access, which is not well structured. For example:
report
4/05/2014
from SQL server
Name ID Add.....
aaa 111
bbb 222
To be more specific,I have 4 csv files, that need to be imported into Access.
1. I'm building 4 linked tables so users can update the table as needed. Then run queries based on these tables to produce report. But maybe there's a better way? the file name and location might be dymatic, so anything like 'getopenfile' would be easier instead of linked tables?
2. These data need to be clean up first to become a 'database table'. (Delete first 2 rows, delete some columns, remove duplicates etc.) I know how to do them in VBA Excel, but never used Macro in Access before.
I have a tabular form that lists all the records (address book). I'm trying to have a combo box filter the records by selecting a contact type (employee, supplier, customer). So far I have the contacts displaying in the combo box.I've tried to create a macro that begins "after update". Its an ApplyFilter macro.
Where Condition = [Contact Type]=[Contact Type Select]
[Contact Type Select] is the combo box.
When I do this, a popup box appears. When I type in the item I want, it works. I want this done automatically.
I want to attach a pdf file at the end of my word document by clicking a button from form.

Soo basically I want to know if I can use a microsoft word template, say I type up a sample letter in microsoft word excluding the personal information. And I want to import this letter into my Acces document and by pressing a button say "Send letter to this person". And that button should use the memebers personal details in the sample letter and so I can now press print.
I want all this to happen in the Access document (unless there is a better way of donig this without using Word?)Also I need to do the exact same but with an e-mail function aswell.
Another situation is I want to have tick box feature which is calle Medical Condition? If it is ticked then another box appears allowing you to enter the medical details and if it's not ticked then no box appears. Is this possible?
is there a way to create an email through word and say your current balance is £1000.
i thought that as this is an office app then it must be possible. could it be something like

I'm strugling with transferring data from access to word template.
1. transferring single data fields works okay, with bookmarks etc.
2. transferring multiple records (e.g. orderlines) to a WORD template fails. The # of multiple records are variable. So could not be defined upfront how may records i have to transfer.
I tried to transfer the data in a word table both with bookmarks and with merge fields. The result was that all data was placed in de first cell of the table in WORD.Setting up de WORD template combining with the VBA code.
See VBA code:
Private Sub Knop17_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_knop17_Click
Dim sreportname As String
Dim scurrentdir As String
Dim stemplatedir As String
Dim stemplatename As String
Dim ObjWord As Word.Application

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have been calling a main form to manage yacht races using a hyperlink/macro from a selection form which lists all the yacht races ..The main form was too big to fit on some screens so we changed it to pop up mode to allow it to be resized and use scroll bars. this works well when the form is opened manually and all functions run just fine
the hyperlinik/macro for race selection had originally been set up to call the main form in dialog mode but we have had to change this as it disabled the resizing of the form and the scroll bars..The macro tool doesn't offer pop up mode so i selected window mode = normal and the main form opens with a resizable window and scroll bars but all the functions called from this module now fail (error message = use of null value or similar and all the functions go into debug mode - the server is down and i can't access the system to get the exact details)
If i change the macro in the selection form back to window mode = dialog the functions work but i lose the resizing of the main form and and the scroll bars.
I think what I want is:
1 table(1): record of people & contact details
1 table(2): list of events with check box's with the names of people from the other table
1 report: listing how many events people have attended.
When I add a new person to table 1 I want a field to be added to table 2 in the form of a checkbox, also when I delete this person I want this field to be deleted in table 2.how to make this an automated process.
