Showing File Paths For Attachments In A Report
Jan 28, 2014My company wants to store both a digital copy and a hard paper copy of the files in the access database. Because of this I need to figure out a way to show in the reports the paths to the attached files so that people reading the paper versions can locate the corresponding files on the computer in the future. I have been searching the internet for several hours and have come up with nothing. Is there a way to do this?

Reports :: Criteria Doesn't Work In Chart Report
Oct 27, 2013I have a query that has a field that reads DateReceived By Month: Format$([Workorders].[DateReceived],'mmmm yyyy') The criteria line is Like "*" & [Enter Month & Year (Leave Blank for all)] & "*" And this works when I run the query. If I enter october 2013 it shows only records for this date range like it should.
Then I built a bar chart report that will show the workorders only for the month entered. The problem is, If I leave this field in my query the chart does not update . When I open the chart it will prompt for the month and year but the data in the bar chart doesnt change. If I remove this field the chart updates as expected.
If I go into design view for the report and then right click on the chart and go to properties , then to row source, it reads as this:
TRANSFORM Sum([Workorders Query2].MyTime) AS SumOfMyTime SELECT [Workorders Query2].SerialNumber FROM [Workorders Query2] GROUP BY [Workorders Query2].SerialNumber PIVOT [Workorders Query2].[MXDPrinter];
If I click on the elipstical to go into query tools for this line , and click on run I get the error : The microsoft Access database engine does not recognize '[Enter Month & Year (Leave Blank for All)]' as a valid field name or expression.
So my criteria runs normally in the query and returns the correct records, but I can't get it to work in the chart .
Modules & VBA :: Passing Parameters To Report Doesn't Work
Feb 23, 2015I have a query that sums up the number of parts used. This works fine.
I want to be able to limit this query to parts used after a specific date.
I have in my report
DoCmd.OpenReport "Part Totals Report", acViewPreview, , "[Part Date])>= " & SQLDate
The report is bound to a query that has 2 group by fields, 1 count field a a further field, a date field ([Part Date], that I put a default criteria on. This field is not displayed. If I don't put a criteria on this field disappears when I close and open again.
I pass a date to the program via a form and this ultimately ends up in SQLDate. When I run this I get promted to enter [Part Date] even though I'm setting it equal to SQLDate above. I can out garbage to a proper date in here either way the report picks up the default date entered in by the query.
1. Get rid of all of the parameters off the query.
2. Then you can use the Where Clause of the DoCmd.OpenReport code to specify the parameters based on your variables.
1.Not sure what this means but when I get rid of the criteria for the parameter the field disappears (I'm setting the show field to no as I don't want totals group by date). Getting rid of the field gives me all parts used.
2.I think I'm doing this in the above but will bow to superior knowledge!!
or is it I can't pass a parameter to a report run by a query that is grouping fields together to produce a count.
Incidentally once the report has been run (albeit with the wrong parameters) and I go into design mode and look at the property sheet for the report the correct filter is there (i.e., the date that has been input) but it quite clearly ignores this.
Reports :: Combination Of Grouping And Sorting In Report Does Not Work
May 15, 2013Access 2010. I have a table with the following fields:
- From
- To
- TypeOfWork (to be chosen from a combo-box)
- Activity (text field to be filled in freely)
In a table i have a complete day with times (from -> to), the type of work between those times and the activity performed between those times a bit like this:
FROM TO TYPE OF WORK ACTIVITY
00:00 - 11:00 Welding Welding clamps
11:00 - 13:00 Welding Welding anodes
13:00 - 15:00 Cleaning Cleaning pipes
15:00 - 18:00 Cleaning Cleaning floor
I would like it to show in the report like this:
FROM.....TO.......TYPE OF WORK.....ACTIVITY
00:00 - 13:00......Welding............00:00 Welding clamps
...............................................11: 00 Welding anodes
13:00 - 18:00......Cleaning...........13:00 Cleaning pipes
...............................................15: 00 Cleaning floor
So it should sort on "From", then group by "TypeofWork" and repeat the "From" field(I think...). But I now have tried every combination of sorting and grouping I could think of and nothing works!
Queries :: Report For Multiple Selections Of Account Number And Work Organization
Aug 3, 2013I have one table named Entry. This table have account number,work organization, price, date and etc.
I use a combo boxes in form which is connected to query and I can easily choose one account number,one work organization and date to see an report. There is also a possibility to left some of the fields blank, it will bring report if is null.
Now I need to make a form that have a possibility to bring up a report for multiple selections of account number and work organization?
Making A Look-Up Form Work The Way I Want It To Work!
Feb 27, 2006We are creating a simple database to maintain driver license information for faculty, staff, and students who use cars from the university’s motor pool.
To do this, I have created two tables: tblDRIVER and tblLICENSE.
The fields in tblDRIVER are:
pkfDriverIndex
strLastName
strFirstName
strInitial
strAddress1
strAddress2
strCity
strState
strZIP
datBirthDate
The fields in tblLICENSE are:
pkfUpdateIndex
fkfDriverIndex
datDateUpdated
strState
strLicNumber
datExpirationDate
ynViolations
ynActive
Information about the driver is stored in tblDRIVER and the driver’s license information is stored in tblLICENSE. Periodically, we run a report that identifies drivers whose licenses are due to expire within a certain number of days. All this works fine.
My problem is that I am trying to create a lookup form that will load from a data entry form that will permit the Motor Pool Clerk to look up a driver by name and review the licensing information (which appears as a subform).
All this sort of works- I am using a combo box (based on a query) to look up a driver’s last name (which it does) and to populate all the driver’s information on the look-up form (including license information in a subform). Currently, the combo box locates the driver (including the unique index, last, and first names), and populates the form with first and last name but the rest of the information is not displayed on the look up form. Worse still, sometimes one driver’s last name matches up with the first name of the next driver listed in the table! This seems to happen only if a look up is attempted more than once. What gives.
Thanks for the help.
Sending Multiple Attachments

I would like to send 2 different reports to the same person, in the same e-mail. Is this possible?
Stuck On Mailing Attachments
May 10, 2007Hi, all!!
I need to generate 1 email with 3 attachments from an Access Db. These attachments are canned reports that are generated each week with fresh data.
I've done several searches and found a lot of good information here. Based on what I've read, I decided to output the 3 reports to a folder in My Documents and then automate Outlook to send the message.
I've used the output function to create the 3 files. No Problem, works well.
Then I found this code for automating Outlook. (Pasted below)
I can get it to work (following either step 7 or step 8 below) but only if I include the attachment path in the SendMessage command.
Assuming the full paths are:
C:My DocumentsReport1.snp
C:My DocumentsReport2.snp
C:My DocumentsReport3.snp
how do I modify the code to automatically attach all 3 files?
Any ideas?
As always, thanks for taking the time to help,
BeckieO
Sub SendMessage(Optional AttachmentPath)
Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application
Dim objOutlookMsg As Outlook.MailItem
Dim objOutlookRecip As Outlook.Recipient
Dim objOutlookAttach As Outlook.Attachment
' Create the Outlook session.
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
' Create the message.
Set objOutlookMsg = objOutlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With objOutlookMsg
' Add the To recipient(s) to the message.
Set objOutlookRecip = .Recipients.Add("Henny Penny")
objOutlookRecip.Type = olTo
' Add the CC recipient(s) to the message.
Set objOutlookRecip = .Recipients.Add("Lucky Ducky")
objOutlookRecip.Type = olCC
' Set the Subject, Body, and Importance of the message.
.Subject = "This is an Automation test with Microsoft Outlook"
.Body = "Last test - I promise." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
.Importance = olImportanceHigh 'High importance
' Add attachments to the message.
If Not IsMissing(AttachmentPath) Then
Set objOutlookAttach = .Attachments.Add(AttachmentPath)
End If
' Resolve each Recipient's name.
For Each objOutlookRecip In .Recipients
objOutlookRecip.Resolve
If Not objOutlookRecip.Resolve Then
objOutlookMsg.Display
End If
Next
.Send
End With
Set objOutlookMsg = Nothing
Set objOutlook = Nothing
End Sub
7. To test this procedure, type the following line in the Immediate window, and then press ENTER: SendMessage "C:My DocumentsCustomers.txt"
8. To send the message without specifying an attachment, omit the argument when calling the procedure, as follows:SendMessage

Handling File Attachments
Aug 19, 2005I have a database for which the user can "attach" supporting files. Currently I handle this by putting a button on the form. The button opens the folder related to the current record via windows explorer. The user is then free to open any file contained, or drag and drop new files if needed. It works reasonably well.
But there is no indication when you look at the form if there are any files attached or not.
First, if anyone can point me to a better way to handle this, (it bugs me that there are thousands of folders being created to each hold a file or two), I would appreciate that. The typical attachment is a message dragged and dropped out of Outlook.
Second, assuming I continue doing things this way, I am thinking I would like to add a listbox to the form. When the form moves to a new record, I would populate the list box with the name of any files found. I know how to do that, but to which event would I be attaching this code?
Thanks,
David

Attachments To Display Their Filenames
Jan 5, 2013How to view the file names of attached files in Access 2010 using a Web Database, specifically the Contacts Web Database that is a template in Access.
Currently it only shows one PDF icon for all my PDF files. I would like to be able to view the file names of all the PDFs in the attachment field. While I'm certain this can't be done within the same field as the attachment box (though would be nice), I would think it would be possible to populate another field with this information.
I have experimented with different things with no luck using a new standard database for testing purposes. The closest I've come was using the SubForm/SubReport; it actually gave me the values for the attachment... see in the picture below.
But even then, it did not work and gave a error: Invalid Control Property: Control Source
Multiple Attachments In Different Records?
Oct 22, 2013I am creating a database that needs to store a large number of pictures. I have a component that we're working on that needs 100 photos of specific details taken and stored.
I have created two separate tables.
One that includes four fields, ID, Component Number PhotoType and an attachment field.
The second table has ID,Photo Type and in this table I've coded 100 records detailing the photos I need. This is used as a lookup field for the first table.
What I would Like to accomplish from this point is to be able to add 100 fields onto the form for the user to click on the attachment and then save the specific photo that corresponds. How do i edit the control source of the attachment item on the form so that it is specific to one component number, and one phototype?
Save Outlook Attachments In A Dir
Aug 11, 2015I expand my code as follow (save the attached files from Outlook - after: If Not Err.Number <> 0 Then):
Code:
Option Compare
DatabaseOption Explicit
Private Sub Befehl17_Click()
' ##################### OutlookImport ##################################
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
[Code] ...
The directory "Unterlagen" allready exist.
So, the definition of the path works (strPath)
the creation of the path wirks (MkDir)
but the SaveAs command did not work, the new directories are empty.
Individual Emails And Attachments From Form
Jul 10, 2005I'm sure this is here somewhere but I just can't find it.
I have a form where a selection of suppliers are selected, I then want to email each supplier a report attachment - headed up with their particular details - for them to complete and return.
I can use the SendObject to send one email with all reports attached, how do I split it up? Can I split it up?

Forms :: Attachments Will Not Show In SubForm
Dec 18, 2013I have a table called "tblTasks" and the table allows users to attach files to a task they wish to assign to a resource in their respective department. I have based a query on this table that returns the tasks associated with a given resource; however when the resource tries to view the attachment via a Subform - the Subform is based on the query - the attachment field does not yield any understandable results. The query is correct because all of the other data for the tasks show up perfectly; however the attachment, for some reason, is missing.

Modules & VBA :: Storing Attachments On A Network
Jun 12, 2013First, I'm developing both the Front End and Back End in Access 2007, and I intend to distribute the application using the Access Run Time. The powers that be will not let me use SQL Server.
The database is required to house attachments. Initially, I had created a separate back end database to store the attachments, but the file would quickly grow beyond the 2GB limit - roughly within 3 weeks. Instead, I decided to save the "attachments" in folders (named after the parent records PK ID) on the network. Using VBA, I would populate a list, based on the parent record, from which the user could select the file, do what needs to be done, then save it.
Unforunately, we're running into data security issues - all of the attachments will have private personal information - SSNs, Loan Numbers, Account Numbers etc., so they need to be stored in a location that's not universally accessible. All of the users have different permissions based on their department, acting as a very basic security level (i.e., Department 1 users will not be able to view any parent records associted with departments 2 or 3).
So I need a way for my back end to take a file located in a separate directory not normally available to the Front End User, then move that file (or save a copy that will be overwritten when re-attached to the record) to a location that IS accessible to my Front End User.
Can I create/use modules stored on the back end?
My first thought is to let the back end store the record in a temporary attachment table that is deleted when the user is done with it, but I've noticed that Access has trouble reclaiming the space when the attachment is ultimately deleted once the user is done using it, and I'll run into my 2GB limit again.
Alternatively, I could create a new .accdb file each time the record's attachments need to be accessed, and then delete that database once it's done and the attachments are returned to the secure location, solving my limit problems.

Jun 16, 2013I am making a new database. And I want to confirm that I can do all the following in Access 2007 and how is best to do it.
1) A form where I can define:a unique Email Number starting at 1.
a directory eg "C:UsersPaulDesktop101 - Brick House"
an email address.
a Recipient Name
a Category for the email. Choosing either "Working" or "Complete". This would be part of the email subject.
2) a button which onclick lists all the files in the defined directory to a box on the form.
3) a button which onclick exports a report containing the list of files to PDF. Then attaches a zip of these files and the PDF report to an email in Outlook for revision before sending.
4)In Outlook the subject would be:
"The Directory Name" - "The Category" - "The Email Number"
"101 - Brick House - Working - Email 1"
5)In Outlook the body would simply be the subject of the email followed by the filenames of the 2 attached files, ie the PDF report and the zip.
