I have been looking for a way to sync a table holding reservation dates to MS outlook calendar automatically when dates are inserted in the table.
View RepliesI created a call logging/work tracking type Database using SharePoint 2007 lists for the backend and Access 2013 front end for about 60 users and it has been running smoothly for around two years .
We use a shared outlook calendar and I want to be able to pull meetings & appointment information into the database from the calendar so I can assign the meetings out to specific people and keep of a record that they where given the request to attend. I was able to use the import outlook folder to create a linked table and it has lots of great information from the calendar apart from the two most important things you need in a calendar Start_time & End_Time . Is there something I'm missing in regards to these two fields? I assume I'm doing something wrong but I can't figure out what, nor did I have much luck with the Search function on here or google.
This is the list of field names it does import(everything apart from the meeting time and is it a recurring appointment)

I have a folder under the default on in outlook named ANOTHER FOLDER. All I am trying to do is add the blasted entry to this folder. At the moment though it is adding the information to the default calendar and not ANOTHER FOLDER. I'm just testing at the moment but I have tried all manner of combination but no dice.
Code:
'Error 429 occurs with GetObject if Outlook is not running.
On Error Resume Next
Set objOutlook = GetObject(, "Outlook.Application")
If Err.Number = 429 Then 'Outlook is NOT running.

Hello Guys,
I'm totaly new to access and outlook applications etc..
What I'm trying to do is link an access table to my calendar in outlook. I can do it but there is one problem it is not importing all the fields. But when I do an export from outlook to access database file all the fields are there.
Can someone help me with this issue?
P.S. I'm using outlook 2003 and connecting to exchange 2002.
Thank you for all the help I can get
Are there no arrays in Access? I am looking for a way to put sequential dates onto a calendar. An array would work fine, with an offset for Weekday(FirstDayOfMonth).
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a query that has some reminder dates. 10 days before an event and 5 days after. I was wondering if it would be feasible to create an outlook reminder based on the query and if so how would I go about it?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI wish to work in Access 2010 with a subset of my Outlook 2010 contacts (all desktop- no network barriers), so I am exploring the Desktop Contacts DB found in Microsoft's templates. It passes contact data back and forth using the standard macros, but I wish to add more fields from Outlook. It seems I need to find the code associated with the macro. I believe I can solve the problem using a Linked table, but am wondering if there is another solution?
Calendar synchronization is another issue. Linking gets me to the Archive Calendars, but not the Current one in Outlook which is what I want.
I have a form bound to a table that has a bunch of dates in it. What I want to do, is to be able to have pop-up calendars on the form next to each date field, where the user can select dates from the calendar, then have those dates display on the form, and last but not least, update the date fields in the table.
At the moment, the form I'm working with let's me pick dates from little pop-ups and display the dates, but when I exit the form and then come back into it, the dates are gone! In other words, I'm missing something in the process between the dates displaying onthe form and the dates getting into my table.
If anyone has an idea as to what I might be doing wrong, I wouldappreciate your ideas and suggestions.
Thanks in advance. I don't know where I'd be without this forum!
Hi everyone,
I wanted to know if there's a way to implement a calendar in MS Access? In other words, I'd like to create a calendar that act the same way as the Outlook calendar? At first I tought about the calendar control 8.0, but we can't write anything in a square date of the calendar. So , I'm out of idea.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions!
Normally when I hold down the shift key when opening an Access database it opens in development mode. When I do this on a certain database it does not. It still opens in program mode. If I hit F11 it goes into a sort of development mode but I do not get the ribbon bar at the top etc.
Has something been set on this database to stop it opening in development mode? Can I switch it off?
Is it possible?
My departments wants a calendar that reminds us when a certain date is approaching.
MS Outlook has that calendar.
Can we integrate them somehow? Or do I have to write something in Access(is it even possible).
Or do I just have to look at different software out there?
A client I am working for wants a calendar to interact with their database forms, I am thinking outlook would be the best bet, as a table and form to make my own in access would be overly complicated. Is there any way to embed a calendar from outlook within an access form?

I want a cheep calendar that links to queries and can input data as well as display it. It has been on my wish list for 7 or 8 years.
If anyone know how to make one or knows where to buy a cheep one I would really appreciate it.
I have developed an Access database which keeps track of items we have received. What I want to do is enter a date in a field and then by clicking a button that date and the name of the item gets enetered into my Outlook calendar so that it will pop up a reminder on that date.
I have no idea if/how this can be done. Any ideas or examples very much appreciated.
I have been using the below code for a number of years to send reminders to Outlook and colour them red (my category colour for certain items).
I've been asked to roll out this code to all members of my dept but the category for other people assigned to the red colour is different to mine.
Is there a way to colour the item using the colour name rather than the category name?

I use the code below which creates an appointment in Outlook default calendar. I need to add a few lines to create the appointment to an alternative calendar in the same pst file. I need to choose between three calendars in which to create the appointment and plan to select the calendar name from a list on the form.
Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application
Dim objAppt As Outlook.AppointmentItem
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objAppt = objOutlook.CreateItem(olAppointmentItem)

I am very new to VBA. I found some code that will allow me to add an appointment to my personal calendar with using access VBA and it works great. It also allows me to add an appointment to another calendar created under "My Calendars" folder.
I wanted to know how to change the code in order to add the appointment to the SHARED calendar instead.
The main folder is called "Shared Calendars" which is at the same level as the default "My Calendars" folder. Under the "Shared Calendars" folder the calendar is called "Tester".
Here is the code im using at the moment: I believe I have have to change the line of code that is in red but I don't know how.
Private Sub cmdAddAppt_Click()
On Error GoTo cmdAddAppt_Err
Dim outobj As Outlook.Application

I have been able to successfully set up code to be able to add appointments to microsoft outlook based on data within a few forms that I have. My question is this however, how do I get access to make that appointment to a specific calendar on outlook. This calendar is a shared calendar. Currently, access is just adding the appointments to "My Calendar" and I could like it to place the appointment on "HVCalendar". a version of the code I found online is listed below:
Private Sub btnaddappttooutlook_Click()
'On Error GoTo ErrHandle
Dim olNS As Object
Dim olApptFldr As Object
' Save the Current Record
If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False

I have linked a Shared Calendar from MS Outlook in MS Access. The fields that I need which are Appointment/Meeting Date and Time are not there, only creation date/time. Is there anyway for me to get the Appointment/Meeting Date and Time from Outlook into the table?

I have one DB that is used for creating/storing customer ID's, and another DB that is used for creating/storing job information for customers.I have linked the table from the customer DB to the job DB.
There is a table in the job database that holds customer name and ID, and some VBA that generates unique job codes.
Is it possible to have the data from the linked table automatically update into the existing table?
I have a table being filled everyday that contains the following:
ID
EntryDate
Ward_ID (linked to the Wards table)
Census
At present, the data encoder manually chooses the ward via drop-down list to identify the ward, and fill the census field. Since we have 20 wards, we find this exercise eating our precious time (since we have tons more of data to enter aside from the census). I'm wondering if there's a way to automatically list all the wards in the table in a specific date, so that the encoder would just proceed in filling the census per ward.
One idea thrown was to design the table like an excel sheet (each ward has its own column). Another idea was to make individual tables per ward and make a default value for the ward_id. However I think these two are not the right directions.
Using access 2003, i would like to add a button to a form so that when clicked all the data in that record is moved (cut and paste) to another identical table, like archive.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am totally new to Access and this is my first database.
I have a database for volunteers in which one table is basically a calendar. In this table I have fields for the month, day of the week (i.e Monday) and day of the month (i.e 21st). There is also a filed called "Special days"
Sometimes I may want to produce a report that selects only certain days such as Saturday, Sunday and other days marked as "special days". Another time I may also want to produce a report that selects other days.
At the moment I have a "test filed" in which I place a 1 for those days i want to select then I choose all those with a 1. This is obviously a very poor construction.
Can anyone offer me a more advanced method?

I have a database (well, a half-database at the moment) which is used to book a hall. I want to add a calendar to the bookings form, so users can see what they're doing more easily.
This would only be useful, however, if I could grey-out days that have already been filled.
So is there any way I can do this?

I have created a query that prompts the user for a start and an end date and proceeds with showing the data between those dates.
I was wondering if there was anyway that instead of the user typing in the dates, a calendar could pop up and they could pick the start and end dates instead?
If that isn't possible is there anything else that's simpler that I can do? Maybe like a list box for month, date, and year?
