I have a golf society database. I would like to be able to send, via e-mail, a 'Form' to each of the members of the society so that that they could fill in the data in the form then e-mail it back to me and then import it into the database.
Has anyone got any good suggestions on how I should do this please ?
Cheers

I am using and modifying (very little) the template "Issues and Tasks" to have my team of 35 people submit any feedback that they may have on a particular campaign.
No one has Access except for me....I would like to use the "Data Collect | Create Email" Feature so that whenever they have any issues they can just fill that out (Save the email in a special folder to be used multiple times). The problem I am encountering is that the "Create Email" button is greyed out and I am not sure why....also, I would like to know if this is the most efficient way of doing this.
I have a parameter query using a form to collect the data. I put LIKE and wildcard enclosing the parameter to bypass the criteria if the data box is empty. It works well. I have another parameter of date type that uses between two dates. How can I bypass the criteria if I leave the data boxes blank?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am using a form for users to enter requests. Currently when a user enters a request an email is generated using the sendobject command and i send the whole table in .xls format as an attachment to my e-mail. I'd rather when a request is entered that an email is sent to me with only the newest request in the body of the email. How can I go about doing this? As always thans a bunch in advance.

I couldn't test is because when i hit the button it says "microsoft out look could not be started, make sure outlook is installed and properly set up.( the send and receive dialog box in outlook shows is marked and read as complete, but the green bar showing progress is still lit up + calendar contacts,etc. wont sync in mobile device center).

I have looked at using the email wizard, but it produces a rather messy looking email form regardless of if I choose HTML or InfoPath. Is there any way to adapt the email to make it better, or maybe another way of emailing users (through VBA)?
In Access 2007 and 2010 there was a "Collect Data" group under "External Data" where I could click "Create E-mail" that would build an email form for an outbound email in Outlook based on a table. I would then send the email out, then collect the data back into the table from Outlook when the recipient of the email responded with a filled out form. I don't see how to do that with Access 2013. I do see the "Email" button, but that's for something else. I see no 'Collect Data' in Access 2013 like the picture below shows from Access 2007.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI created a form for adding new data to an existing database and it worked just fine.
Today the form has decided to add time to the date field and this clashes with the table it import to.
Why/how it's changed the date format and how to change it back?
I am the first to admit I struggle with looping through records.
I am trying to loop through a table and collect external income data and write it to a new table.
My issue may be the way the table is laid out. ???
The attached pictures show the tables. The tblExtInc is where the data are. I am trying to create a table that looks like tblExtIncYr that shows each year and separate entries by item.
How would I loop through tblExtInc and grab ex:$2000 every year for upto 100 years but only get the $1000 for year 6,7,8 only?
My department handles all two-way email communication with our customers. We have 8 different email addresses that we use depending on the customer service issue. I'm looking for a way to continuously collect 3 pieces of data from every email that is received: 1) Date Received, 2) Time Received, and 3) To Field (which of the 8 email addresses it was sent to).
As you can imagine the collection of this data to look for trends to assist with staffing needs, as well as analyze build reports for the company to review. I've been working with my IT department on this but they are not sure where to start. My guess is that I need to have them collect the data as it is coming into the email server, right? I'm good with VB and I've built some VBA scripts recently that collect Outlook information, but these only work if the computer I'm using stays on all the time which is not always practical. We'd like to have this database stored on one of our shared drives which collects this data indefinitely from our email server.
'lo all,
I'd like to use a form to get user input on BeforeDate and AfterDate for a query with criteria
<[BeforeDate] AND >[AfterDate]
I must be missing the wood for the trees- how hard can it be?
Thanks for pointing out the glaringly bleedin' obvious,

Password Protection for E-mailed Access Report
Sorry this is a bit long winded but here goes - we have a very simple Access 2002 DB of 60 100 client records. Its updated weekly and a report is then sent to a distribution list. In the past it was printed and faxed. As all on the list have e-mail I set up a macro to e-mail the .mdb to an Outook Distribution List. It works wonderfully and is much easier and faster. However - a couple of weeks ago one of the users complained saying we must password protect the data. Our Exchange Server is not yet set up to use certificates and Ditital IDs so I worked out the only way I can think of to p/w protect the file. The data is exported as an RTF. Once the user is in Outlook she opens the attachment and runs a macro in Word which :-
Saves the RTF as a DOC file (uses the same name each time)
Saves the DOC file with password protection
However the user reports that often it seems to link to the previous weeks data unless she deletes the attached file and opens the TEMP internet files folder, finds the correct week and attaches that.
Can anyone think of an easier and more foolproof way of doing this is there something in Access I have missed?
Thanks for any help or advice Dika
as above.

Can someone help me out? :)
Method 'Collect' of object'_Recordset' failed is the error I am getting when I try to set a record field to a form text field that has the system date set to it.
Specifically.
yrst is the recordset
I set a number of recordset fields to values on a form with no problem.
Included on the form is a field "txtNewUpdtDt". The control source is =Date()
The statement that is failing is yrst!SysUpdtDt = Me.txtNewUpdtDt
This had been working until today. I googled the error message and found a lot of hits, but none that specifically addressed my situation.
Anyone have any idea what's going on?
Thanks,

I would like to create a payroll record that collect some information from another table. In other words:
-I have an employee.
-I have a payroll table.
-I would like to get some of the values from the employee table written to the payroll table when a new record is entered.
The form would look some thing like this:
Three boxes:
Employee: [ ] (table query to find name) # of students [ ] #of class minutes [ ] (value list with 3 choices)
When the SAVE button is pressed a record would be written to the payroll table with:
The payroll table would look like this:
payrolid#, employee#, employee, # of students, # of class minutes, rate, date
The employee#, employee and the rate would come from the employee table.The # of students, # of class minutes and date would come from the payroll form.
i would like in a form for a combo box to be able to select an item from a table and input relating information automatically into other boxes in the form..
I have 3 tables: Table 1 has product code and product description.
Table 2 has invoice number company details, address etc.
Table 3 has product code and product description qty and invoice number..
Table 3 relates to table 2 by the invoice number and table 3 product code looks up the product codes available in table 1 and also table 3 looks up the list of products descriptions in table 1 using the combo wizard.
This means the wrong code can be put with wrong description.
What i would like to know is how i select a product description and the product code in the form fills out automatically?? i hope this makes sense please helppppp!!
I an trying to create a data entry form (IndividualsEntryFm) to input data for fields such as (First Name),(Birthdate) etc., these to be saved to the (IndividualsTbl)
I also have another table (NamesTbl) which has family names etc. The two tables are linked by a (MainID) field. I want a combo box on the individualsEntryFm so that I can select the family name. Then I wish the empty fields for the IndividualsTbl to be available to enter data.When I press the save button I then want this data saved, together with the MainID from the combo box to the IndividualsTbl.
I have set the IndividualsTbl with a (PersonID) field as an auto number each individual therefore has a unique PersonID but may well share the MainID. I'm trying to link many people to the same address.

I would like to filter data from a table using a query (from an data input form). The objective is to output all results if input form field is empty and to output results higher or equal to the type in the field if field is not Null. The query code is as follows:
IIf(IsNull([Forms]![Form2]![MaxDiffInput]);[Maximum operational pressure (bar)];[Maximum operational pressure (bar)]>=[Forms]![Form2]![MaxDiffInput])
However, is not providing any result when the input field (MaxDiffInput) as a value.

I have been tasked with creating a tool to analyse mobile phone bill data and present the analysis, and our recommendation, to a customers. Being new to Access (other than basic tuition) this has been a slow uphill task, which is finally nearing completion, however there is a problem which I have not yet been able to overcome.
The requirement is for the DB to open first on a splash screen (lets call it Form A) with fancy picture where our customer is selected from a combo box, the customer is then telephoned, a linked computer screen is established and our staff then click "Go" to proceed to a second form (Form B) showing an account overview and more details.
The problem I have is when "Go" is clicked, the second form loads via on click event, and even populates the correct customer in its combo box. Unfortunately that is as far as it gets - the combo does not look up the information. The customer needs to be selected again for the subforms and subreports to load with the customer overview. To clarify, form B just sits there blank until the customer is re-selcted from the combo box in form B.
My aim is to have my forms open to a new record, which I have done, but if my users need to then update or edit data in previous entries, they can click a button that allows this.
My thoughts were to add a button, then put in code so that the necessary properties changed the form from displaying a new record or records entered since opening it, to showing all records in the associated table....
As an example there is a table for purchase orders. When clicking on this from the main menu form, it opens up the purchase order form to create a brand new PO. At times though, we will need to revisit an order to attach a copy of an invoice, or update the cost of whatever was purchased.
My db has multiple linked tables. As time passes and work on a project continues data needs to be added to a separate table that is linked to the first table to be populated.
i.e., Initial design data is entered first, when drilling is complete more data is added to a linked table, when drilling is surveyed yet more data is added to the second table.
What I want to be able to do is to query for a particular set of existing design data, display this on a form and on the same line enable data entry to other fields from other tables which are linked to the existing design data.
