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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using windows XP SP2, Office 2003.
I have created a database to store information from a mine site. I have set up a switch board and most users will just view reports or graphs that have already been designed.
I want the general users to open the file read only without having to open access and use the open read only command. I also don't want to go down the path of database security if it can be helped.
I read in the help page that there is a read only prompt that can be flashed up when the file is opened. Unfortunatly the help page suggests, Tools > Options > Security Tab (tick read only prompt). In office 2003 this option no longer exists (if it ever did)
Any ideas, would be good if i could add something to the shortcut and then have some uses use this shortcut.
Thankyou
I really need some help guys.
For some reason Access always asks for a login/password even if the database isn't protected. Even when I start a brand new database the prompt comes up. Any ideas as to how to get rid of this.:confused:
I want to save a record with a command button. I am using RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord. Access gives me a prompt saying "You are about to update 1 record. Are you sure you want to update this record?"
How do I get it to stop prompting me every time?
On a pop up form I have a list box. The row source for the list box is
Code:
SELECT tblWebOrder.WebOrderId AS [Web Order No], tblWebOrder.CustomerWebOrderNumber, Format([WebOrderDate],"dd/mm/yyyy") AS [Order Date], tblCustomer.CustomerName AS [Customer Name], tblArea.Area FROM (tblCustomer LEFT JOIN tblArea ON tblCustomer.[PhysicalAreaId] = tblArea.[AreaId]) INNER JOIN tblWebOrder ON tblCustomer.CustomerID = tblWebOrder.CustomerId WHERE (((tblWebOrder.Processed) Like [Forms]![frmSelectWebOrderToOpen]![txtOrderStatus]) AND ((tblWebOrder.WebOrderDate) Between [Forms]![frmSelectWebOrderToOpen]![dteStartDate] And [Forms]![frmSelectWebOrderToOpen]![dteEndDate]+1)) ORDER BY tblWebOrder.WebOrderId DESC;
I have the following "On Click"event on the list box
Code:
Private Sub lstWebOrder_Click()
lngWebOrderId = Me.lstWebOrder.Column(0)
DoCmd.Echo False
DoCmd.Close
DoCmd.Echo True
End Sub
When I click on some of the records on the list box the form closes. On some of the records I get a parameter prompt to enter:
Forms!frmSelectWebOrderToOpen!txtOrderStatus
Forms!frmSelectWebOrderToOpen!dteStartDate
Forms!frmSelectWebOrderToOpen!dteEndDate
I inserted the echo commands to prevent this, but this has not worked!
Why am I getting the prompts? How do I prevent them?
I do not have a split db. I am prompted to enter my password when the db opens which is fine. However, when I close the db it prompts me to enter a password (not normal) and when I enter it it says invalid password. Also, when I try to change my password it says invalid password and when I try to compact and repair my db it say invalid password.

Hi -
I have a client that would like to export an news email list from their Access database into an SQL database that we use to send newsletter emails.
Does anyone know of a simple way to;
a: Export a table of data from Access to a csv file automatically.
b: have an SQL database look for a updates to the csv and import all - or all new data into a table in SQL
Any tips would be grateful - I know the task here sounds over complicated but my client does not have the budget to redesign their Access database into SQL, I have CRON running on the same server as the Access database, this could be a handling method for the automation, but I'm not sure if again I am over complicating things here myself, and Access / SQL have the capabilities of doing these things independantly.
Many thanks for reading.
We are having a problem with mulitple users leaving an Access db open and then I am not able to make new reports, etc. without calling everyone to close their session.
Is there a way to automatically close a db if user has not used in certain amount of time?
Thanks, Noreene
I'm trying to get one database to be shared by multiple users so that the file on the server is always updated as others add new records....in real time. Is there a way for this to work? What settings will I need?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI wish to automatically fill in a form in datasheet view with records from a table. Currently you need to select each record to fill the list. I think this can be done using VBA, I'm a begininner to programming but think I need the code to do something like this.
Lookup the table or query, DoCmd select the first record, DoCmd select next record, Loop to end of recordset??
Basically it is automatically entering/ filling in each row (record) in the datasheet for every record in that table or query.
Any idea's please.

View 7 Replies View RelatedHey all. I posted this over at Mr. Excel too on the Access forums, but I thought maybe someone from this site might know the answer to my question.
I know pivot tables and charts are more up Excel's ally, but my question has more to do with Access I think. I've made a pivot table form from a query and everything is working fine except one thing. I want the table to refresh automatically. I don't want the user to have to go in and refresh the data manually.
I'm thinking I could put something on the forms "On Open" event but I don't know the specific coding. If anyone has any idea on this, I'd greatly appreciate some feedback.
Could anyone explain me the best way to fill external HTML pages automatically with data from an Access dbase?
I have spotted several commercial tools that use macro recording. Surely there must be another way using visual basic for example?
I have the following sql statement:
SELECT [PhoenixInventory-FTP-1].[Mfg Name] AS Mfg, [PhoenixInventory-FTP-1].VendorID, [PhoenixInventory-FTP-1].[Part #] AS [Part#], [PhoenixInventory-FTP-1].ID AS PartID, [PhoenixInventory-FTP-1].OH AS OnHand, [PhoenixInventory-FTP-1].OO AS FacOnOrder, [PhoenixInventory-FTP-1].[90DayUsage], [PhoenixInventory-FTP-CustOO].CustOO, [PhoenixInventory-FTP-CustOO-90].CustOO AS CustOOWithin90Days

I wish to take this query and only display the Part #'s with less than 8 characters. I am pretty sure I need to use the LEN function, but am not sure on how to do it. Any ideas?
Hey everyone,
I recently converted Access tables to SQL and had to change the forms to pull the info from the tables using filters instead of querys.
My problem is a form that has 3 subforms that use filters that are assigned by tank number. Subform 1= tank 111, subform 2= tank 222 and so on.
Since then, I can not get the subforms to load (on open) at the last record. It will only come in at the first record.
I have tried to use the DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acLast
on each subform and on the main form itself. It does not work.
Currently on the subform I have....
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acLast
Form_Main_111_subform.OrderBy = "date"
Form_Main_111_subform.OrderByOn = True
Form_Main_111_subform.Filter = "Tank = 111"
Form_Main_111_subform.FilterOn = True
It works if you only pull up the subform but not when you use the main form....
And no, it does not work if you move the DoCmd line to the end after filtering. Access croaks when I try it.

I developed a program. Would you please teach me how to run it automatically when the computer restarted, through the startup.
Plus this I want to let this program run through the system tray, and not shown in the the Taskbar, if this feature is provided by MS Access 2003
Thankful...
I currently Have this form setup in 2 sections. The first section includes 2 text boxes for Eligibility Number (field name = EligibilityNum) and the second for School (SchoolName). The second section is a subform called sfrmSchools that includes all the eligibility numbers, schools and other useful information.
I have created an Access 2003 database from a ledger. The main key is an eligibility number that corresponds to a school. There are over 2000 schools in my database. How can I program Access to automatically find the record (eligibility number or school) if I type it in the first section. For instance if I was looking for a given school with an eligibility number of 5670A0324. If I type in '56' I would be taken to those eligibility numbers with 56 to show. Same for if I typed in the name of a school. If the school I wanted started with 'D', I would be taken to them.
How can I run an Access 2003 file automatically, after double click the Access 2003 Icon?
