How can I link multiple images from a folder on my drive to each record without making the database file huge?
Each record is a plant species. I want to link to photos of flower, seed, etc. See attached database example.
I would then like those images to appear on a report for each species. How would I go about doing this, if it is indeed possible?
Hi.
How can I select a name from a drop-down box and display the corresponding student's photo that is stored as a JPEG?
Thanks.
I am making a database of MP3 songs. I want to include a link to each song and be able to play the song from the database by clicking on the link.
View 2 Replies View Relatedusing Access 2010, I have reached the 2GB limit. It's not the data, it's the PDF files I scanned in for each customer that has stretched the db to its limits. The db is also currently split.
I didn't realize Office had a 2GB limit; I assumed if you had a 64 bit computer and a NTFS partition, there would be no 2GB limit.
Using a template database in Access 2010, I need to extract the attachments to a folder and thus link them back to the database using hyperlinks. I can handle this task, but I'm not confident how to extract the attachments from each record (around 900) to a folder and have it do it automatically for all records. I can do it record by record, but that is not feasible with this many records.
how to extract all the attachments for each record, and have them saved in folders by their name or other ID, so I can link them back to the db via a hyperlink?
I need to display on a report the percentage of personnel deployed.
that is fine: 2 TextBoxes Sum1 and Sum2 and a third set to =Sum1/Sum2 and displayed as percentage in the setting.
My problem is that i need to be able to link the subreport to the main report by the field 'Type' from the table 'Job'
Is there a way to display the size of the tables? I am using Access 2010.
View 4 Replies View Relatedi am running some code from vba to add a linked table and the do some lookups, then delete the linked tables.
When the linked table gets added, the navigation pane gets displayed. I have set it to do not display in the settings and it does not when it opens but when this code runs it opens and then stays open until the db is closed and reopened.
I am trying to use my db as a software and I really do not want this to show.
I have also noticed this in a database I have which has update queries and was fine in access 2000 but does what i described above when using in access 2010.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am working in Access 2010, trying to create a report with a pie chart. The pie chart is based on a query (called Count Pie) that calculates three values:
% IS
% NetInf
% IS + NetInf
I go into Create, Report Design and get a blank report in Design View. I select Chart from the Controls tab and follow the Wizard to specify the data source.
I get a pie chart with the right title (Count Pie). I double-click on the chart to open the report Datasheet and insert the correct value names. My pie chart in Design View looks correct. It has the right title and legend, and shows three slices of the pie corresponding to the three values.
I save the report, and go to Print Preview, where I get a pie chart that looks like a single circle; it has no legend, and doesn't show the three values.
Do I need to have the Access 2010 application re-installed?
I created a report from a query and there is many fields therefore it made the report 22" wide. I rearranged the fields with in 8" but in the property field when I put 8 in there it does not change and it goes right back to 22". in print preview there are 6 pages and only 3 with info showing the other 3 are the extra width of the report.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a columnar report that relies on information that are expressions in various queries. Unfortunately, I can't seem to create them in one query because the criteria is mutually exclusive. I used the report wizard to start the report based on the single expression in the first query. Now I want to start adding the other data but I can't seem to get it to work. All I really want to do is include fields that have the have the value, which is already summed, from the other query. When I try that I get error messages like "you tried to execute a query that does not include the specified expression 'expressionName' as part of an aggregate function' and it just goes further downhill from there. What is the easiest way to get this simple values into the report? Is there a way I can create a field in the report that uses a SQL statement for just that field so I don't have to have the report linking to 50 different queries?

I have developed a database using Access 2010. This is split into a Front End and a Back End.
In the same folder as the Back End I store a number of user modifiable files in either bitmap (.bmp) or MS Word (.doc to retain compatibility with older versions).
Unfortunately, the drive letter where the back end resides will change from location to location and I can't do anything about that.
I have set up a function that returns the location of the folder where the docs reside irrespective of the back end drive location, and this works perfectly with OLE linked pictures but not with OLE linked Word documents. User changes show correctly in Word document changes at locations with the original drive assignment but other locations show only the original doc contents even though they have been changed on the local back end location. - even if I delete the Source Item info on the report!!
An example of the code I am using for the Source Item is <GetBackEndPath() & "Footer.doc"> without the angled brackets of course, where GetBackEndPath() is a global variable storing the location of the documents folder ending with a back slash.
I have tried the above in the reports Source Doc property but Access won't accept this and says it isn't valid for this property.

I have 2 Tables. Table "BOL" and Table "Containers". Both contain "Job_Number" and "Bill_of_Lading_Number" as a field. I would like to get a "Bill_of_Lading_Number" record from "BOL" and add it to "Bill_of_Lading_Number" in "Containers" table based on condition when both "Job_Number" are equal. I have tried two methods. One with DLookup and another with SELECT. Both work but with a small problem.
When I execute them, a dialogue box popup asking me to enter the "Bill_of_Lading_Number" value while the required value shows as dialogue box heading. This box shouldn't come up and I am not sure why this is happening. "varsJobCont" variable I get from another form and is "Job_Number" value that determines the record to be selected.
My Both Codes are:
Dim strBill As String
strBill = DLookup("Bill_of_Lading_Number", "BOL", "Job_Number = " & Application.TempVars("varsJobCont").Value)
DoCmd.RunSQL "Update Containers SET Bill_of_Lading_Number = " & strBill & " WHERE Job_Number = " & Application.TempVars("varsJobCont").Value
Dim strBill As String
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set dbs = CurrentDb
[code]....
shows the dialogue box and the heading "bbb1055" is actually the correct value I needed to get. It should have been put in the other table automatically without the need to insert it manually again.
my ive made a query to base my report off the only issue is the ' timeslot' wont appear on the report.
the timeslot needs to be displayed on the time the customer booked their appointment...
What I am trying to do is have the user click a button to open a report based on the current specification they are updating. Now for each specification there are multiple revisions so i added a 'revision history' table. When the user prints the specification, I only want the latest revision number, date, and rev descr to show. I tried using the following:
Private Sub Report_Load()
Dim db As Database
Dim Rev As Recordset
Set db = CurrentDb()
Set Rev = db.OpenRecordset("SELECT tblRevisionHistory.revnum, tblRevisionHistory.revdate, tblRevisionHistory.revision FROM tblRevisionHistory;")
Rev.MoveLast
Me.Text23 = Rev.Fields("revnum")
Me.Text26 = Rev.Fields("revdate")
Me.Text28 = Rev.Fields("revision")
End Sub
The above only showed me the last record in the table regardless of the specification number filter.
My report (rptBilling_STS_Summary) has three subreports (rptBilling_STS_Summary_Install, rptBilling_STS_Summary_Rental, rptBilling_STS_Summary_LDRate) that return values that are grouped by customer and calculates a total for each customer.
I need the report to export to excel for our client but every attempt has produced a blank XLS file. I have tried every export method I can think of. This is what I have tried:
Export button from external data ribbon
Export from print preview
Export via macro
Export via VBA (DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "rptBilling_STS_Summary", acFormatXLS, , False, , , acExportQualityPrint)
All this has produced the same blank excel file... Very frustrating...
I have searched and found a lot of information on 2007 and it requiring sp2 but all I can find on 2010 is instructional information.
Update: I copied the database to my local PC and when I export the XLS file it opens in protected view.

I have a split database with several attachment fields that work fine.
When I try to create a new attachment field in the BE, upon opening the FE, I get the following error: "The search key was not found in any record."
I have tried several ways: first create the attachment entry in the BE, then I can't open the FE. Create it first in the FE, leave it unbound and then create it in the BE - same error.
I am trying to create a database to manage IT assets, most of the structure is done, I'm now trying to get the details done.
The issue I am currently trying to tackle is to get a control button on one form to create a new record in the sub form that sits in the main form via another pop-up form.
So I have :
>PeripheralsViewForm - that has 4 control buttons (Edit Quantity, Edit Description,Add an Item and Exit)
>> PeripheralsSubForm - (Datasheet) which is referenced to PeripheralsQuery
The Edit Quantity and Edit Description open a separate form which allows the user to update only the quantity or description respectively (I have done it this way rather than allowing edits in the data sheet as I feel that it is too easy to hit a key incorrectly and overwrite data in the datasheet view) Both of these functions work perfectly (to my amazement) - I am using the id field in the subform to link to the pop-up form which then has unbound text input boxes, which I then write back to the subform.
e.g from edit button on click event: DoCmd.OpenForm "perquantform", , , " ID=" & Form.PeripheralsSubForm!ID and then from the pop-up form "perquantform" on the "Exit & Save" button I have :
Forms!peripheralsViewForm.PeripheralsSubForm.Form! Quantity = Me.newquant DoCmd.Close acForm, "perquantform", acSaveYes
This allows the user to select the record in the datasheet form and then click either the change quantity or description button.Also also the other reason I did it this way was because I just couldn't get the subform to requery when I had the two edit popups linked to the table or query.
The problem now is that when I click on the "Add an Item" button, it overwrites whatever record is currently selected !
The code I have is this:
From the "Add an Item" button on click action:
DoCmd.GoToRecord , Forms!peripheralsViewForm!PeripheralsSubForm.Form! , acNewRec
DoCmd.OpenForm "addperform"
And from the form "addperform" - "Save & Exit" button on click action:
Forms!peripheralsViewForm.PeripheralsSubForm.Form! PerType = Me.pertypedrop
Forms!peripheralsViewForm.PeripheralsSubForm.Form! PerMake = Me.permakedrop
Forms!peripheralsViewForm.PeripheralsSubForm.Form! PerModel = Me.newmodel
Forms!peripheralsViewForm.PeripheralsSubForm.Form! PerDescription = Me.newdescription
Forms!peripheralsViewForm.PeripheralsSubForm.Form! Quantity = Me.newquantity
DoCmd.OpenForm "PeripheralsViewForm"
DoCmd.Close acForm, "addperform"
--------------------------------------
the line "DoCmd.GoToRecord , Forms!peripheralsViewForm!PeripheralsSubForm.Form! , acNewRec" is what I have added to try to solve the overwrite issue, but when I run this it comes up with the error :
"runtime error 2498 - An expression you entered is the wrong data type for one of the arguments"
I have put this line in the "addperform" exit action and it comes up with the same sort of error.

I have a form on which I want to display JPG photos which are stored in a folder called FCP. The path to each photo is stored in the database table. Each record will have one photo only and the path looks something like this:

Can someone tell me exactly how to design a form picture field that will display the relevant photo?
Thanks!
so i'm trying to create a report that only displays certain fields per record based on another field in that record. To clarify: [Type] is a numeric field holding either 1, 2, or 3. I have a function that is instructed to display (ie, change from not visible to visible) a certain combination of fields depending on the number in [Type] when the form is opened. I assume I would have to go through all the records individually (do loop until), but i'm not sure if this works in a report.
is there any way to have different fields displayed for different records within the same report??
Thanks
