Hi,
I know this can be done but I'm a novice at VBA. I have a batch file AutoLoop.bat which I run from command prompt at the moment. The idea is to run a VBA routine behind the onClick event of a command button in Access which would run this batch file in command prompt automatically. Say if the batch file path is I:AUTOGENLOOPGENAutoLoop.bat,
what VBA code can be used.
Thanks for any help.
does anyone know the code for command prompt to create an administrator account over a network???
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn the past I've used command buttons with both VBA & Macros to bring up a prompt to save or discard changes to the current record then close the current form.For some reason, on just one single form that I just created, none of the techniques seem to work. It will close the form but will automatically save changes without bringing up a prompt. I've tried creating buttons from scratch, trying out both Macros & VBA, and I've tried copying/pasting buttons from other forms--of course making the appropriate changes.

This is code in a command button on a form to preview a report.
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acViewPreview, "Control Room Query", "[Lot #] = Forms![Hydro COA]![LotNumber]"
What could I change in this code to use in a different command button to have the report sent as an attachment in snapshot format in an email? The user would have to fill in the address, subject and body of the email.
Thanks much!

I have two text boxes and a check box - so the user can enter (1) patient weight, (2) patient height and then check whether the patient is male or female. The first two are then used to calculate a Body Mass Index. (simple enough and works OK). What I then want to do is have four command buttons that become visible when the calculation is within a certain range. So - simplistically- if the calculation (calctxtbox) is between 0 and 5 AND the patient is female then the command button called "normal"(Command79) is enabled.
My VB code writing is improving (thanks largely to this forum!) but still very basic - can some-one help please?
Do I put my code in the "after update" event of the calctxtbox?
Private Sub calctxtbox_AfterUpdate()
If calctxtbox > 0 (How do I say and <5) and then how do I say Female =Yes Then
Command79.Enabled = True
End Sub
Am I close?
Also can you enable labels and text boxes or just buttons.
Hi!

My problem is when the specified form opens it doesn't have any data in it.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated!!

My froms work but when i try and open a report, it just prints the (correct) report and does not open it. I just want to open it.

I have a students database with fields like
Id
Name
Address
City
State
I have a mainform with just two fields (Name and State)
and then a subform, I want to be able to enter students name or state on a field in my mainform and click on FindStudent, and it displays the record on my subform.
I also want to have a AddNew record button on my main form, and when it's clicked, i will be able to enter data into the underlying table using my subform.
How do i achieve this?
Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks :) :)
Per the instructions detailed here...

...I created a parameter query in the form of a drop down box that uses a
command button to produce a query.
The code is as follows:
Private Sub cmdCreateReport_Click()
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryUIRFollowUp", acViewNormal, acEdit
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmOpenUIRLookUp"
End Sub
This produces the data I need in datasheet view. I want to use this same
data to populate a form I've created that will use the above data as a
springboard to add more data to another table (also connected to my form).
So what code do I need to add to the above so that along with producing the
data the command jumps right to the next step and feeds this data
into the form and then displays that form?
Thanks for the help,
David
I have set up a command button within a form and wish to output results from a query for a specific company. The query has been set up.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to be able to change certain parts of a Query and Code based on the contets of a text box.
Example with Command Button Code:
Textbox contains the name Tom
This is a command button on a form that i have copied and renamed etc through VBA to Tom (contents in the textbox)
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
DoCmd.SetWarnings (False)
DoCmd.OpenQuery "Qry BM to Management", acViewNormal
DoCmd.SetWarnings (True)
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNext
I now want to change where it says "Qry BM to Management" to "Qry Tom to Management",
Example with Command Query:
Again Textbox Contains Tom
Query has been copied but now i want to change the following SQL string from where it says Bhavins Table to Toms Table
INSERT INTO [Management Table] (Postcode)
SELECT [Bhavins Table].Postcode
FROM [Bhavins Table];
Im not sure if this is possible but i would like to know as adding a new user to my Database takes me about 10-15 minutes but I know what im doing (copy paste change specific parts of Queires and points of forms etc ) but i need to make it easy for management to add new Users....

Often I use Labels as buttons due to the fact I can colour them the way I want, and use the on click event to trigger code.
The code below however works for a command button, but not a label button.
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmdatetime"
Do While Forms!frmdatetime!OKFlag.Caption = "False"
DoEvents
Loop
When this code is run by clicking on a command button, it works fine.
If run by clicking on a label, frmdatetime opens, but the mouse will not work on either of the 2 open forms unless you go down to the windows task bar, jump onto another window, and back onto frmdatetime.
If I remove the loop with the DoEvents in it, then the problem does not occur.
Can anyone enlighten me as to why this behaviour occurs.
Thanks

I've looked around and check the help file, I'm sure I'm probably not looking for
right thing here.
What I want to do is include text in the text box that would appear prior to the user
typing in their text.
So say I have my text box and in it appears <Type E-mail message body here>.
Then when the user clicked in the box to type out their message my instruction message
would either disappear or the user could erase it.
I know this is something simple, I just don't know what I'm looking for here. Sorry for the trouble.
I am rewriting an old Access 2003 database in Access 2010. When creating new command buttons, the current theme gives them a default appearance. I need to apply this appearance to old command buttons. I know there is a way to select the default button and apply its properties to others quickly. I have done it before but didn't write the process down .

I have noticed that when i am editing an object within my database, specifically a query and click to close it, it doesn't prompt me to save the changes and does it automatically. There have been cases where i do not want to save the changes and just wanted to know if there was a simple setting to turn off automatic saves?
