In a current version of a MDB, clicking on a hyperlink in a table no longer connects to the internet (?!)
I know for certain that it used to, so I opened an older version of the MDB (from a backup file), clicking does connect... so somewhere along the way, I must have done "something" to the current file (and too much time has passed along the way to revert to the former...)
I have a table of customers and have table of stuff they can buy. Those two tables I use in the next table where their ordes get registred. I have and order form where I have a listbox. When I create a new order I want to have the customersname in a listbox but I want the customersID(primary key) returned in order table. How do I do that? :confused:
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a lot of tables that need updating often, so I delete the old ones and re-import them then run the queries again. From time to time, I add / remove columns but in the case I removed columns that are NOT needed in the queries.
So, I ran the queries again and they run fine but it says "Enter Parameter Value" for a column that is no longer there. It's not in the SQL code either.
So where is it trying to get these columns from and how do I fix this?
I have elected to have tables inserted into my forms. For example on the School Information form, I have the Employees table inserted at the bottom so that it will show the employees that are assigned to that school when it's pulled up.
Before I split my database into a BE/FE situation, I could expand the items in the tables to other related items, but now that option is gone.
Is there any way to get that back with a split database?
i have thousands of data records with hyperlinks that are correct. Each data record shows the actual link (google.com, foxnews.com, espn.com, etc.). However, i want to change all of the records to just say "link" instead of saying espn.com, etc. How can i do this automatically without having to manually right click, edit, and changing the text to display?
View 6 Replies View RelatedHey guys!
I have a basic knowledge of MS Access and for some of you it might seem like a stupid question, but here's my issue:
I'm trying to create an hyperlink in a form (or a data access page) to a web page, but part of that hyperlink url will be contained in a field in a table.
For example, the link would look like that: www.[site].com where [site] is a field inside let's say Table1. So depending on the value of [site] the link will return: (URL address blocked: See forum rules) or (URL address blocked: See forum rules), etc..
I assume it might require some coding to achive the desired result which I don't know anything about
I tried to set the control source of my link to: = "www." & [Table1]![site] & ".com" but of course it doesn't work.
Thanks a lot in advance for all the help you can give me.
i have a database that has a hyperlink on the table, my concern with this is that if the folder with the linked items(pdfs) is moved to a different location then does that mean that all the links will not work? if this is so is there a way to get the links to point to correct items other than manualy doing it ( there are thousands of links ) the reason i have used links is to keep the database small in size.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am creating a task tracker where the user will enter a task which is working. If he is complete the task at that moment he will submit the task and everything is done for that task. However, if there is some issue or if the user need any information, then the user will enter a comment and will hit hold. My queryis once the user hits hold button, the table "Main" will capture the hold date and time. I need a second table, may be by name "Inbox" which will only show records kept on hold.
Secondly there should be hyperlink for "ID" of Hold records in table "Inbox" and when the user click on the the "ID" to resume the task, it should take the user to "Main" form and display that particular record (record which the user had clicked). Also, the date and time should be recorded when the user click on the hyperlink in Resume_Date and Resume_Time fields for that record.
ok, I have links to documents(reportLink) stored as type text in a table (Investigations). Each link is different per record.
I have a form that display information from this table. The field that holds the hyperlink is called reportLink on the form. On this form I would like to have a button that when clicked will open up the [reportLink] for that particular record. so this button will point to a different file each time the record is changed.
I have stumbled around this site and think I have to put the
Application.FollowHyperlink code in the OnClick event for this button. However, I am clearly not doing it right as it isnt working. what is wrong with this:
Private Sub Command34_Click()
Application.FollowHyperlink Me.[ReportLink]
End Sub
Is there a way to insert a hyperlink in a field title on a table? For example, I have a field that is a check box for whether the person has taken a class. What I would like to do is insert a link in the field title for that class so I can click on it and bring up the supporting documentation in a PDF file for that class.
View 4 Replies View Related I Have a table with 15000 entries. This table lists components we use. This table is used to generate queries/forms. I have been asked to add a hyperlink to this table to link to a drawing of the component. All the drawings are in PDF and in the same folder. I am looking for a way to automatically update the hyperlink fields all at once. The Hyperlink will be in the format of servershareddrawings12345.pdfwhere 12345 is the component name from the table.
But there are a few small problems with the component names.
1. If the component begins with a B- . The drawing name will be all the characters except when there is a second dash in the component. So if the component is B-12345-678 the drawing name will only be B-12345.
2. If The component begins with AB, The drawing will be the first 5 characters regardless of what follows, e.g. AB123.
3. Finally for all other components the full component name will be the drawing name.
Putting the naming to one side, how to go about auto generating the hyperlink. I have posted this in the table section, but maybe this should be in another section like queries or VBA.
I am in the process of building a new database in SQL to replace my MS Access database. However, I will continue to use the Access forms, queries, and reports. The new tables will house much of the same data. In multiple tables I have hyperlinks that were created and added in the original Access tables. To import these hyperlinks into the new SQL tables I have converted them to 'Long Text' before exporting, thus changing them into strings.
For example:
Hyperlink - Email - Add Additional Mailbox to Outlook (2010) has been changed to:
Email - Add Additional Mailbox to Outlook (2010)#ServernameServerfolderDocumentationRea dy to GoOutlook TemplatesEmail - Add Additional Mailbox to Outlook (2010).oft#
The obvious issue that I am running into is that after the SQL database table has been linked to the Access database it still displays the entire string when I open the table. The form has a textbox and search button that is used as a search function. This runs a query that returns all "search results" for the desired information. Is there a way that the query can convert the string back into a hyperlink so that the query displays just Email - Add Additional Mailbox to Outlook (2010) as a hyperlink and not the entire string?
I have a database which is being used for maintaining documents status. Its working fine in stand alone PC. I want to share it on internet. But problem is, I can upload the complete file, then download and use. Its not updated.
So is there any way to upload this db onto internet and work there only the way we do in single PC?
Hey, I am currently designing a database for my group of friends. Things such as ,Name, Age, Musical Instrument, Band (of which they play in), Favourite Band etc. would be in there indefinately.Its not a complex Db and so I was hoping to put it on my website but dont know how i would do this...I would like it to be on the internet as if you were just looking at it on your own computer and webmaster could edit any fields after it is finished. Is there anyway of doing this? If yes is there any way of doing this without the viewer having to download the Db?

I have created an access database for work. Due to the size(70MB) of the database our internal network appears to have difficulty executing any queries or has long delays. I dont think the size is the issue, however I am now looking for ways to place on "internet" page but only want users to run the reports off control buttons /macros of the forms view not see the tables or query design. Any suggestions of best to approach this, Also any input about "project" or "ADP" woud, be very useful, thanks Andy

View 1 Replies View RelatedDoes anybody knows how I can have an access database in the internet?
Please let me know.
I have an Access 2002 database (about 120mb) which was replicated using Replication Manager (version unknown). It is set up to use Internet Synchronization. We use it on state government LAN and WAN as well as the Internet. It works well in most cases, but on a few computers we get the error "Http address not found" when synchronization is attempted. The address is indeed visible to those computers. We have determined that reloading Windows (XP Pro) will usually solve the problem at least for a while but when GIS mapping software is installed it reappears. More worrisome is that some brand new laptops with factory-installed Windows are showing the same problem, which means it could get worse as we upgrade equipment.
Has anyone else encountered this error?
Hello All,
I was wondering if it is possible to connect a MS Access front end to a MS SQL server on the internet in a secure way through ODBC or some other means.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
Is it possible to transfer data over the internet if the BE is in one country and the FE is in another? If so, could someone explain how I would go about doing this? I'm in the Military and when we deploy it's normally to a far off country.
Thanks,
Scott

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I have done a multi user database for a private company (and thanks to all those that helped me out) but now I need to do another database to put onto the Internet so the general public can view it and order the products. Obviously some of the database needs to be private (so I can update records) but some needs to be viewed over the Internet. I would like the general public to be able to view the products over a web page, not download a program to view the database.
I have made the database already so I can pull up a web page (from within access) and order the products - all I need to know is how to do this over the Internet?
I don't expect anyone to hold my hand through this, I just ask if anyone has a link to a walkthrough so I can do this?
Regards, James
PS Have another question -
I have 17, 500 records and I wish to add a new Field, how can I change the values of the Field without going thorugh them one by one? e.g If the Record has 'Rarity = U' then I want the 'price' (which is the new field) to equal 1.
I am trying to create a database such that everyone in my company will be able to access it, but without having to install access and put a link to the DB on every computer. Ideally, I would like to have some sort of web applet that uses the DB on a central server and allows users to add and modify entries without having to know anything about Access.
Any help would be appreciated
Iīm thinking of starting to use office XP for a small system I have. My question is:
Is office XP more compatible with internet explorer in terms of VBA automating? I have had to work around internet explorer quite a lot in office 97, and I havenīt been able to do what I want.
Fuga.
There is an online form which we need to fill out for each of our inventory units. This form has several dozen fields though. We have to fill each one out for every unit that we ship (which is about a hundred a day).
But the good news is, about 25 of these 30 fields are always filled in with the same value (our name, address, city, state, zip, insurance, insurance no, carrier, carrier no, etc).
What we want is a way to fill out these fields for us automatically, and all we have to do is type in the remaining 5 fields ourselves.
My temporary solution was to create a form with 5 fields and a Submit button. Then using AppActivate "Inventory Adjustment - Microsoft Internet Explorer", we would use the SendKeys function and virtually "type" in the 5 variable values and the 25 other "hardcoded" values, using the Tab key to move in between fields.
However, we have encountered some issues using SendKeys. For one, the cursor doesn't always start in the correct place, and the fields become horribly offset and skewed. Also we notice that sometimes the cursor moves "too fast" apparently and skips pasting some of the values (an issue we tried to resolve by using "wait" commands, but it didn't help consistently enough).
Is there a better way to use Visual Basic to fill in fields in an Internet Explorer window? :(
