I'm making a macro to output a report to an Excel spreadsheet using OutputTo and would like to add the date to the filename since this is done each day and the files need to be different. So I'd have something like "Output" as the base filename and "Output20050628" as the final filename. Would someone please help me out on this? Thanks in advance.
I think I am on the right track, but I am stuck with importing the date from my excel filename. Currently the following code imports all Excel files from the directory into a table in my database. The excel files are saved like "ABC_BNG_GTR_04012008.XLS" The numbers represent the date. I need for the date to be extracted and place in table into the "callDate" field. When I run my code, I continue to get a runtime error 13 - type mismatch. The code stops at the Mid() statement. What am I doing incorrectly? Thanks in advance.
Option Compare Database
Private Sub btnImport_Click() Dim strFile As String 'Filename Dim strFileList() As String 'File Array Dim intFile As Integer 'File Number Dim filename As String Dim path As String Dim TheDate As Date
'Loop through the folder & build file list strFile = Dir(path & "*.xls")
While strFile <> "" 'add files to the list intFile = intFile + 1 ReDim Preserve strFileList(1 To intFile) strFileList(intFile) = strFile strFile = Dir() Wend
'see if any files were found If intFile = 0 Then MsgBox "No files found" Exit Sub End If
'cycle through the list of files For intFile = 1 To UBound(strFileList) filename = path & strFileList(intFile) DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel8, "sheet2", filename, False
'Inserts date in date column based on file name
TheDate = Mid(strFile, 12, 8)
CurrentDb.Execute "UPDATE sheet2 SET callDate =" & "'" & TheDate & "' where callDate is null"
Err.number = 5174 Err.Description = "The file cannot be found" Try one of the following things: * Check if you write the name good * try an other file name (document2.doc)
The file document2.doc does really exist and is saved in the same directory as document1.doc
the problem is sometime I get the error message some times not in this last case it works very good.
Can someone please help me with this? I have an Events form which has some date fields setupdate and enddate. There is a linked events calendar subform attached. I have attached the database for you to see.
If you open the events form and go to the events date tab, I want to be able to type in the dates in the setup and end date fields, and then run a query which populates the events calendar subform. I created a date table (dates) with a list of dates and tried to create an append query (Query3) with those fields as criteria which didn't work as it wasn't recognising the parameters (but i'm guessing that is because it wasn't attached to the Events Form). However after entering the dates, I was able to append them to the events calendar only after including the EventsID field to the dates table and the query. This however means that the records aren't linked to the Events table as the EventsID field is blank (the EventsID is what links the E.Calendar subform to the Events Form). Therefore though the records were reflected in the events calendar form, it wasn't showing up on the events form.
I dont know if this makes much sense but what I basically want to do is a series of functions. Create a query which extracts a set of dates based on criteria entered into the main form, and appends them to a datasheet subform which is linked to the main Events form via the EventsID, then copies the Event ID for all the recordsets that have been added.
Is this possible? Thanks for your help in advance.
I have a series of events that have a start date and an end date. How do I write an append query to append an event to a table as an individual event for every day in the given range?
This is my first stab at this and I'm obviously overlooking something. I'm trying to do a recurrent date append to an Access calendar db. I'm trying to take the field varStartDate and add 7 to it for the # of weeks recurring. Works great. I type the var out and it is appending correctly BUT when I look at the db, it is putting the ORIGINAL START_DATE and not the RecurDate var. What am I doing wrong?
TIA! Lisa
Dim strSql startDate = CDate(Request.Form("varStartDate")) IF Request.Form("numWeeksRecur") > 0 THEN Weeks = Request.Form("numWeeksRecur")-1 ' *** Subtract week from total week for first Command.Execute For recurDate = startDate To startDate+7*Weeks Step 7 fldStartDate = recurDate fldStartTime=Request.Form("varStart_Time") fldEndDate=Request.Form("varEnd_Date") fldEndTime = Request.Form("varEnd_Time") fldeventTitle=Request.Form("txtEvent") fldevt_grp = Request.Form("txtgroup") fldlocation = Request.Form("txtLocation") strSql = "INSERT INTO events (start_date, start_time, end_date, end_time,eventTitle, evt_grp) VALUES fldStartDate, " 'FOR DEBUG ONLY Response.Write(fldStartDate) & "<hr>" Response.Write(recurDate) & "<hr>" 'Response.End MM_editCmd.Execute strSQL Next END IF
I got a headache to changing my form's filename... i am totally a newbie in Access while in the few months ago... so i just create all those form or table name's for the way i like. But now i had already know how important of management of the filename because when u r using the module to write the code u will be headache to look for the filename that u want in the code. So that is important to add 'tbl', 'frm', 'Qry' infront of the filename.
So do anyone have a good way to edit all the file name with all match to the other in the module with a quick way rather then one by one editing (really tired for one by one) Thanks!!!
I have a replicated database. I'd like to display the name of the version of the database that is being used on the data entry form so it's clear which version is being used.
What's the code for the current filename? (I'm talking about the entire "filename.mdb" file).
Good morning, I have a listbox that contains dates (0105, 0205, 0305, etc.) and depending upon which date is selected in the list box, I want to import the corresponding month's text file. Here's the code:
Private Sub List64_DblClick(Cancel As Integer) Dim frm As Form, CTL As Control Dim VARITM As Variant Dim X As Integer Dim period, PERIOD1 As String period = Me!List64.Column(4) PERIOD1 = Me.List64.Column(0)
So I have the files saved on the above mentioned S: drive, i.e., MDRF_0105 and when the user selects 0105 in the listbox, I want the appropriate file to be imported.
Here's my problem. I have a table that is for maintenance jobs that recur on a fixed schedule, i.e. cleaning gutters yearly. I need to run an append query that will take all the information and cause it to recur a given number of times. I've gotten that to work with just a standard append query pulling data from a form.
The part I'm having trouble with is this. I need to get that append query to take the start date for the job and increment it properly based on my selection of daily/monthly/yearly recurrence for each individual occurance of the job.
Where the section highlighted is a combo box on a form. I was trying to use the value in this combo box to describe the filename of the text file I was exporting to. However I get the error:
The Microsoft Jet Databse Engine could not fond the object 'X#txt'. Make sure the object exists and the you spell it name and path name coreectly.
Where X is the string stored in the combo box.
Any ideas where I have gone wrong/what could be improved?
I am trying to create a unique filename when sending a report via email in snapshot format.
As already stated in another thread, the filename comes from the report's "caption" property.
Can a unique filename be given in a case like this? I need the filename to be a series of concatenations of field names.
This report will be sent one page at a time. And sent by seperate people as many as 100 times in a single month. And as much as 1000 times in a single year. Each page (report) will be stored on a sever. So saying that, the need for a unique filename for each time the report is emailed is very important.
I need to import a number of .csv files every day and overwrite the old tables with the data from the new .csv files. However, each day, the filenames will change.
For example,
Day 1: Import fileA 1.csv, fileB 1.csv, fileC 1.csv Day 2: Import fileA 2.csv, fileB 2.csv, fileC 2.csv Day 3: Import fileA 5.csv, fileB 5.csv, fileB 6.csv
The files will be named fileA [#].csv, fileB [#].csv, fileC [#].csv, and so on, with a different number each day (with no pattern to the numbers).
Is there a way to write an import specification or VBA script that will import these? Perhaps something that allows a regular expression in the file path so I can import "C:fileA*", "C:fileB*", etc.?
I have a totals query that displays the sum of what products we ship each day. A process in the system automatically assigns the date/time to a ShippingDate field when an item is marked as despatched.
The totals query allows users to view what products are shipped between a period specified by the user.
The problem I am getting is that when the user inputs dates into fields [txtStart] and [txtEnd], the query fires up but will not display any records as a start time 00:00:00 and end time 23:59:59 was not input.
I don't want users to have to do this but cannot think of a way around it. My criteria code in the query for the shipping dates is
Code: Between [Forms]![Switchboard]![txtStart] And [Forms]![Switchboard]![txtEnd]
Can I append the start / end time onto the code above somehow or is there another method I can utilise that is probably so glaringly obvious I have missed.
Usually a query allows me manipulate a field property sheet but in this case there is nothing obvious to select like format.
I am writing some search results to an excelsheet for reports using the time and date functions to build a filename. I downloaded a StripSpecialCharacters() module, but it doesn't take them all out (only takes ascii above 127).
Does anybody know of another function to do it. searched the archive to no avail.
Need a formula which can capture filename for me. For example, I have a db saved at "C:DlocationofficeChina.accdb". Is there a way to capture "China" in a query?
The code below sets my printer to "Cute PDF writer" and then opens a report in print view, which creates a PDF version of my report. So far so good. But just before the last step, it brings up the Save As dialog box, asking for a filename and location.
Three points are important:I always want to call the PDF document "Specialty Report".I always want to save it to C:Documents and Settings80435 Desktop. I always want to overwrite the previous version.
Is there some code I can insert that would achieve this automatically with no further user interaction i.e. user clicks a button and the PDF file is created/overwritten?
Code:
'Produce the report Dim defPrinter As String, NewPrinter As Printer defPrinter = Application.Printer.DeviceName 'Get the default printer name Set NewPrinter = Application.Printers("CutePDF Writer") 'Create a new printer object Set Application.Printer = NewPrinter 'Set the default printer to the new printer DoCmd.OpenReport "Specialty Report", acViewPrint 'Open the report in print view (which will PDF it) Set NewPrinter = Application.Printers(defPrinter) 'Reset the printer back to the default printer
The command button has the code below, it works great and pops up with a window with the file name and path. I now just need the code to insert the file name and path into the table....
Code: Private Sub Toggle7_Click() Dim f As Object Dim strFile As String Dim strFolder As String Dim varItem As Variant Set f = Application.FileDialog(3)
how do you take a date from a textbox on a form into an Append query and increase the date entered into the textbox by 1 day.This is what I have so far but not working??
I am using access 2010. I need to rename a table when I import the a new table. But I can't get the docmd rename code to work. I also want to append the current date on the end i.e.
I am working on supporting spaces in the DB filename. I got the rest of my program working... other than being able to invoke Access with the specified filename for it to open.
Code: C:Documents and Settingsc_mlueckMy DocumentsFandango>"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice12MSACCESS.EXE" "Schema Ideas.accdb"
C:Documents and Settingsc_mlueckMy DocumentsFandango>dir "Schema Ideas.accdb" Volume in drive C has no label. Volume Serial Number is C8E4-5856

I need to import 300+ individual .txt files into a MS Access DB table (named "tbl_input"). Each of the the .txt files have a naming convention similar to this:
Pink_Floyd_YYYYMMDD.txt
Because this initial import is so large and I would like to avoid doing it manually, I need to be able to:
import each of these files into a single table delimit the text in each based on the "|" symbol add the filename into an empty field
