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.

How To Append Date To Filename??
Jun 28, 2005I'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.

Apr 12, 2008I 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.

Headache With Changing The Filename... ...
Oct 19, 2006Hi all,
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!!!
How To Display Current .mdb Filename?
Sep 8, 2004I 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.

Adding The Value Of A Listbox To A Filename
Aug 10, 2006Good 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)
DoCmd.TransferText acImportFixed, "df import specification", "LOCAL DF-SL", "S:FinanceAccounting OperationsNational AccountsAccount Recs116406-Account ReconDF_" & PERIOD1
DoCmd.TransferText acImportFixed, "Rf import specification", "LOCAL RF-SL", "S:FinanceAccounting OperationsNational AccountsAccount Recs116406-Account ReconRF_" & PERIOD1
DoCmd.TransferText acImportFixed, "MDdf_import_spec", "LOCAL DF-GL", "S:FinanceAccounting OperationsNational AccountsAccount Recs116406-Account ReconMDDF_" & PERIOD1
DoCmd.TransferText acImportFixed, "MDRf_import_spec", "LOCAL RF-GL", "S:FinanceAccounting OperationsNational AccountsAccount Recs116406-Account ReconMDRF_" & PERIOD1
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.
This code is set on the DblClick event.
Please help!
Thank you!
Change Filename Of Exported Textfile
Jun 6, 2006Hi All,
I have this line of code:
DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, "Dhcp Specification", "tblDHCP", "U:" & [Forms]![frmExportDHCP]![cmbServer] & ".txt", False, "", 850
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?
Cheers,
Matt
Saving An Email With A Unique Filename
Nov 3, 2004I 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.
Thanks for any assistance on this.

Modules & VBA :: GET Filename Directly From Path
Sep 18, 2014For instance, I got some dynamic length path with filename as follows:
F:OUTDOOR9-8W1250832 ABCworking 1.3-0.6 BOARD 720.tif
Is there any easy way to get only the "working 1.3-0.6 BOARD 720.tif", which is the desired filename.
General :: CSV Files - Importing Filename That Changes
Jul 2, 2015I 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.?

View 2 Replies View RelatedModules & VBA :: Set Filename / Location In Save As Dialog
May 7, 2015The 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

Modules & VBA :: Import More Than 300 TXT Files And Add Filename Into Empty Field

delimit the text in each based on the "|" symbol
add the filename into an empty field

Modules & VBA :: Export To Excel With Variable Filename Based On Query Result
Jan 30, 2015My access is 2013.
Suppose there's a simple query which has two fields, "year" and "graduates", where "year" can be grouped by "2012", "2013", etc and "graduates" are individual names.
How can I export the list of graduates to multiple excel files, with the filename based on "year"?
I have tried to set the output file in macro as "c:desktop" & query.year & ".xls"
But it's not working and the output filename is exactly "&query.year&.xls "and the file contains all year and all names.
