Hi all,
Is there anybody out there that has created a help file for their access db?
im debating on creating one for my users, but do not know where to start to create a helpful, meaningful file.
is there a template or something that i could follow? or can someone show me an example of a decent one that thye have created? thanks!
I currently have a "send object" macro which runs when a button is clicked on a report, it makes the report a PDF file and automatically places in my office outlook also places a subject and message into the Email.
what I wonered is there is a limited amount I can put into the body of the email in the field so I wondered if it is possible to use a Email template that is placed into the body and then the attachment is also added? I have tried to use the template file but it doesnt seem to work.
Any definitive way of exporting a query to an Excel file and then saving it as a new file without saving over the original.
I've tried to remove any confidential info from the code below so it's not exactly the same.
Code:
Dim XLApp As Excel.Application
Dim XLSheet As Excel.Worksheet
Dim tmpRS As DAO.Recordset
Dim strFolder as String
strFolder = ("C:Profiles"& [Name] & "")
[Code] ....
The error seems to be with the SQL statement although that may just be the first error that it got to. I read that you can't refer to a Query if it has a criteria and that you have to write the SQL directly into the code.
How much formatting can be done to a report from Access into Excel? I am trying to (or will be in the next day or so) to create a report to export data and I would like it presented in a specific format. This is hopefully to replace a spreadsheet where someone currently has to collate and re-type a load of info that has already been typed into various other spreadsheets.
Access is going to happily cope with all of those users entering their data to a table, and I would like to be able to output that data to something similar to the end result now? Is there a way to have an Excel template file and simply direct Access what to put in which cell?
So I press a button on my Form1 and my tbl_customers table is exported onto a specific sheet in a templated Excel file "customer-template" that I have created.
This file has formulas on another sheet that based on the imported data.
The file is then saved to a specific location C:AccessCustomersHistory with the file name based on a date that was criteria from my original form E.g. "customers 11-02-15"
I'm currently working on a project within access which will allow users to select/input information in a form which will then save to the database.
What I need is to create a button on the form which will allow you to convert the data collected from the form to a custom text file template.
(Or maybe the last row added to the database. - although this may cause errors. Example: the form information doesn't save which will in turn create a text file with the data collected from the previous job)
The custom text file template should have a sentence description followed by the value recorded from the form.
Example:
1 configuration type: (data from form)
2 model type: (data from form)
3 Poc: (data from form)
And so on.
So in summary - I would be to use the form to collect the desired information which will save to the database.
Once actioned, a custom text file should be populated with the collected information (with specific data placement as per the example above)....
I searched the archive and didn't find quite what I was looking for, so..
I have an Excel 2003 spreadsheet work-in-progress being used as a template (developed by others) to prepare project cost estimates in a complex regulatory environment. We are 'modelling on the fly' for a number of projects until we are comfortable with the estimate model, after which time I intend to incorporate our 'stable' estimate methodology into Access. Meanwhile, I am 'stuck' with the Excel spreadsheet.
I have a project tracking database (Access 2003), and I want to be able to track my estimates. I do NOT want to embed my spreadsheets into the db, just a filelink. There can be more than 1 estimate per project.
Ideally, the user should be able to define a project in the Access db (or select one already defined) and click a 'make estimate' button, which would generate a new Excel file in a predefined directory (based on the present version of the .xlt file), give it an appropriate filename (based on the Access ProjectID and estimate sequence number for that project if there were others already), open up that workbook in Excel, and then autopopulate some cells based on information showing on the original form in Access!
A separate button for 'Open existing estimate' will eventually be required, but I think I could do that if I can get someone to walk me through the steps required above.
I am somewhat familiar with vba in Access, but am an absolute rookie when it comes to excel.
Edit: I left out that I would also add an appropriate record to a table like tblEstimate which would contain the link(s) to the estimate(s). This table will obviously contain a FK to tblProject

I may be oversimplifying my idea here, but I'm trying to have Form A, which has a source of Table A have fields automatically filled out with values from Table B when I select a template name and click a button that's on Form A. I simply have no idea how to make something this simple happen. Any ideas?

Hello All,
I thought i would ask this question an how to import data from excel into access.
I am using sage to invoice clients and i can output this in to excel format then i would like the best and simplest way to pull the data though into access.
The data file has column headings at the first row ie A1 though to J1 and after this is the data, i have a table setup with the relivent table names, I had thought how easy this would be, but as always this was not the case.
The outputed excel sheet will vary in location so i think i need a diolog box to select the file and then some how link it to extract the data, is this right and if so how can it be achived.
Any thoughts
Alastair

As i say i know asolutely nothing in regard to access
other than it is a data base.
I was just looking for some way of keeping track of my videos cd's and dvd's
Am guessing that this program might be the go.
At this stage i am in no need of much more, so am just looking for a templete
or tutorial on how to create one such template if anyone could direct me to a video tutorial that would be great as i learn a lot quicker watching how it's done. Yeh i know I'm lazy and don't like to read Nah really it sinks in quicker
if i see it done.
Thanks Guys/Ladies
Hi all, I have done a search to try and find an answer to this question but haven't found quite what i'm after.
I have an email template saved and all I need is a (hopefully very simple) command button that when pressed opens the outlook email template.
I don't need any addresses filled in or anything else like that, just the template to open.
Sorry if this is such an easy question to answer but i'm not that great with access but was still asked to find out a way of doing this.
If any better ideas can be suggested please do as i'm open for ideas.
Thanks for any help.
and it works mainly except for two problems:
(1) I renamed all the forms on the Database main window. But when I open the forms, on the top blue bar, it still reads the old names. How do I change that to new names?
(2) I've changed the "Calls" table and forms to "Actions." I've renamed the "Calls" button on the main "Contacts" form which is now "Projects." The old key field "ContactID" is now "ProjectID."
When I click on the "Calls" button to go to the "Calls" form/subforms, box says "cannot find field "ContactID" referred to in your expression.
How do I fix it so that it recognises the new key "ProjectID"? They are linked correctly on relationship--or at least they're linked exactly the way it was linked in the template.
HELP!
THANKS!!!

I am having trouble customizing a database template, i have changed the fields that i needed and got rid of one that i did not but for some reason it will not work.
View 4 Replies View RelatedOne of the managers has requested to set up a form to enter the date at the top of the form and then enter in data for all the plants below for that day. I thought I could just use a form/subform combo with the date (and any other information repeated to all the plants), but the catch is, he wants a list of the plants to automatically populate when he enters a date.
The table would look something like this:
Form
Date
---------------------------------------
Subform (with all Plant names pre-filled for this date -- same list each time--and allowing him to fill in Sales and On Time Delivery).
Plant___________Sales_________On Time Delivery
Indianapolis
Detroit
Memphis
Tampa
Example with data
Form
4/20/2015
---------------------------------------
Subform
Plant___________Sales_________On Time Delivery
Indianapolis_____$100000 (manually entered)_______95% (manually entered)
Detroit_________$120000 (manually entered)_______98% (manually entered)
Memphis_______$130000 (manually entered)_______99% (manually entered)
Resulting in table records:
Date----------Plant---------Sales--------------On Time Delivery
4/20/2015____Indianapolis_____$100000_______95%
4/20/2015____ Detroit________$120000_______98%
4/20/2015____ Memphis_______$130000_______99%
I usually would just create a sub-form with drop-downs for the plant names, but I've never started with a pre-defined list of records.
I am just wondering if theres a way I can create a customise database for my workplace. We are looking at replacing the old record cards that sit on the desk that records each clients visit and the price they paid. We do use MYOB for all our accounting etc but we are wondering if there is a way that we can create a database that enables us to record the date and price paid for each visit for every individual client?
