I am trying to get access to open up from a form a filepath within a field. I have managed to get a module for this to be able to open a default application. However I,m now not sure how to link this to the field. I've attached a link to the DB.
[URL] ....
I'm trying to get a file picking window to open in order to fill a form in access with the files path...and honestly...I have no idea how!
Any advice?
Thanks!
PS: I work on Office XP
FilePath = CurrentProject.path
I am currently using this path, but I moved my database folder into another folder so people won't mess with it. I still need to create files to the original directory. How can I make the FilePath still relative but up one folder from CurrentProject.path?
Is there a way for visual basic to detect where the directory filepath of where the *.mdb file is running on and use that filepath to automatically register the *.dll and *.tbl files...
The reason for this is because the application can be installed on a D drive other than the C drive. Using the Visual Basic Editor's menu to add a reference is a moot point also because of this.
I have made a form on access which will be used by other employees within the company, however they have never used access before and they are wanting to access only just the form as I feel with Access and all the tools in the background will confuse them, plus I don't want them editing the data base its self.
Is there a way to only bring up the form, unless I obviously need to edit the date base.
I've done some research on Google and it seems I need to use:
SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE
However I can not seem to find how I would use this or where?
and also if i did find a way to only bring up the form, how would I be able to switch it from that veiw to the veiw I edit in?
I have one table containing name of restaurant with its address etc. Then i created another table to list out the restaurant workers names and details. Just as an example,
Table:Restaurant
Restaurant name
Address line 1
Address line 2
Restaurant #
Website
Table:StaffContact
Staff Role
Name
speciality
email
phone
I have the main form that has all the restaurant details only. And i have another form containing the Staff information. Please note the two table have a relation and it works well.
Now to make it user friendly(basically easier for the lazy ones), I dragged the staff contact form on to my main form and displayed it as a datasheet(basically a sub form).
Now, my boss does not want users to add/delete on this sub form(datasheet). So,he wants me to create buttons to open new record of staff for each restaurant(new form)
My issue is with opening a new record to enter a new person to the staff list and give them a role as well in form view.The new form has
So i ran a Macro, with open form with Where condition
Code:
[Staffcontact]![Rest Name]=[Forms]![MainForm]![RestaurantName]
But, it does not work .
how to write code to open a second form on the click of a button on the first form and specifically to continue on the record set I am focusing on.
I have 2 tables. The first is tblAccount (fields: AccountID [the PK]; AccountHolder) and the 2nd is tblUser (fields: UserID [the PK]; UserName; AccountID). They are linked so that one account can have multiple users. Each has a respective form; frmAccount and frmUser.
My goal is that once the AccountHolder field has been populated in frmAccount I can click a button to open frmUser with the AccountID field already showing in the form header.
I have managed to do something similar by selecting from a combo box before but I am having trouble making this work after directly populating the AccountHolder field and using an open Form button.
I am trying to write a little database to view my MP3 collection (as you do when youre bored...)
I have a field that shows the full path to my MP3's
e.g "D:My MP3'siTunes MusicBob DylanDesire 3 Mozambique.mp3"
I want to be able to click on the file link to launch the file in my MP3 player - I have tried changing the field type to "hyperlink", but that still doesn't work...
Any help greatly appreciated.
I have tried searching, but have not foud anything that quite fits the bill for this.
I would like to add some code to my event procedure for opening my form so that when it opens a field has a value entered in it and then the record is saved.
My form name is frmCompanyClients based on tblCompanyClients and the field is ClientType (text box)
I don't want to use a default value as I want to change what goes into that field depending on user input on the Front Form.
I need to save the record as soon as that is done so that a Client_ID number is generated and my subforms can then be properly associated via the Client_ID field. I was having problems with unassociated records, and found out that it was because I was entering data into the subforms first and not any of the parent form's fields and so because no Client_ID was generated I was getting the lost records.
Thanks

I have a continuous form that lists all unapproved invoices. I would like to have a hyperlink at the end of each row that says Review and will open another form that queries the details of the unapproved invoice based on the invoice number in the current row.

I have a form where I enter data about Cities (just an example). The user will be able to to pick a pdf file (for example history of the city) and add its location in the matching record. Then anyone reading the form will be able to open (from a simple command button) the proper file.
City File
London london.pdf
Athens athens.pdf
I need a browse button for user to select the proper file and a command button. And I think that the file should always be available in the same URL.
I am trying to resolve an issue of being able to use a query from many different forms where the query is dependent on the date selected in the current open form. Right now it calls the function getDate() which works fine. Unfortunatly the function is called before the form is fully loaded and the control I want to pass has no value/doesn't exist yet and I get a
"Runtime error 13 Type-Mismatch"
Here is the function code:
Function getDate() As String
If fIsLoaded("F_SupplierData") Then
getDate = Form_F_SupplierData.txtDate
Else
getDate = "01/01/1901"
End If
End Function
Function fIsLoaded(ByVal strFormName As String) As Integer
'Returns a 0 if form is not open or a -1 if Open
If SysCmd(acSysCmdGetObjectState, acForm, strFormName) <> 0 Then
If Forms(strFormName).CurrentView <> 0 Then
fIsLoaded = True
End If
End If
End Function
Is there a way to detect the state of the text field itself (if it is open, closed, dirty)? Or if anyone has a better way to tie a query to multiple forms?
I have a form with numerous fields on it, with the one I'm concerned about being a date field.
I want a different form to open automatically if the above date field is in the past (this will act as a warning to the user).
I've created the warning form as a pop-up view but just want to know the best way to have it open automatically.
Can this be done via a macro in the OnOpen Property (or maybe OnLoad) or will this have to written in vba.
How do I reference a subform DS field to open up a tabbed form on another subform.
Here's what I have.
field one on the Sub DS opens up tab one on another form, as does field two on DS open tab two on another form.

how can I click on "any" field on the DS, run an IF statement, and it checks if that record on the Datasheet, contains information in regards to, IF field one OR field two contains any data, and opens the tabbed form respectively on the other form?
I have a Table table_clients and a connected table (1-->many) table_invoices.
I have two forms:
form1(table_clients): all clients with subform1(table_invoices): all invoices for every client
the form2 and subform2 are the same, just objects are placed differently on page.
I want when I have opened a record on form1/subform1, to be able to click a button and open form2/subform2 filtered by the invoice_id and the client_id.
Hello,
I am a researcher creating critical editions of ancient texts by collating readings from several manuscripts (i.e. different mss all contain minor differences). I create my edition in Word and use footnotes to record the variant readings. I also have a database - created from the word file - in which I can add context to each variant e.g. decisions, history etc. So I have a word file containing the text and its variants uniquely identified with a footnote reference and a database with one table and a record per variant and where the variant records are also unique and share the same number as the footnote. I would very much like to be able to open a window on my variant form which displays the word file at the correct variant (i.e. footnote reference) location. This will make it easier for me to record my assessments of the variant in the dbase while looking at where the variant occurs in the text. Obviously I don't need to see the footnote window as I have this info in the dbase.
I haven't got a clue how to do this and would appreciate any pointers.
Many thanks in advance,
Tim
Hi guys,
I was wondering if any of you would be able to help me out. I'm trying to get a button on an access form to open crystal reports and pass two parameters through to it from controls on the access form.
This is what I have at them moment:
Private Sub openRpt_Click()
Dim selForm As String
Dim CrystalReport1 As Crystal.crystalReport
Set CrystalReport1 = CreateObject("crystal.crystalreport")
CrystalReport1.Connect = "ODBC;UID=ID;PWD=PW;DSN=dsn;Database=dbname"
CrystalReport1.ReportFileName = "O:DatabasesCReportsSingle Project Up To Burn Rate.rpt"
'CrystalReport1.WindowTitle = "Single Project Up To Burn Rate"
'CrystalReport1.WindowMaxButton = False
'CrystalReport1.WindowMinButton = False
'CrystalReport1.WindowState = crptMaximized
selForm = 'selection formula
CrystalReport1.SelectionFormula = selForm
CrystalReport1.ParameterFields(0) = "PeriodStart(" & Me.yearCode & ");true"
CrystalReport1.ParameterFields(1) = "ProjectNo(" & Me.projectNumber & ");true"
CrystalReport1.Destination = crptToWindow
CrystalReport1.Action = 1
End Sub
With this I'm currently getting a "Method 'Action' of object 'CrystalCtrl' failed" on the line CrystalReport1.Action = 1
My Ideal solution would open Crystal Reports in its own window, but if thats not possible opening in the access form would do.
currently running:
Access 2003
Windows Server 2003
Crystal Reports XI
Thanks

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have fairly large Access 2003 tables and forms on my job. I am curious if I can open word document off the form by using command button. Very often I need to put info off the form to word and sent it via e-mail to clients so I every time I have to keep a lot open word documents at the same time on my computer 10 or more that is slow pc down. I would like to have like this : on specific form I have command button and when i need to work with word document , click that button that will open specific word doc and when I am done I think I need a second command button to safe and close word document and so that i can attach it to e-mail and sent it out. So every time I need to work with word doc, I can open it off the form and close it also when I am done with it so no word doc would be open unnecessarily.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to make an on-click event that would open a form showing the last inspection done on a site.
Unfortunately, I cannot even first create a dlookup function to use, so I haven't even attempted the rest!
The data needed to reference is in one table, and I just...can't... quite get it.
Here is my last attempt (which at this point probably isn't my best )
Code:
=DLookUp("InspectionID","tblInspections","SITEID = '" & [Forms]![frmFMHome]![txtSITEID] & "' AND InspectionDate = #" & DMax("InspectionDate","tblInspections","SITEID = '" & [Forms]![frmFMHome]![txtSITEID] & "'") & "#")
After breaking it apart I'm pretty sure the DMax function (and using date?) is the culprit, but I can't figure out why.
