How would one go about scanning a hard drive for all mp3 files (i.e. *.mp3) and importing all of the titles into a database? I'm sure the dir function comes into play, but it seems to only handle "current" directory and not sub directories.
I was just curious is all..... haven't really dabbled that much in the file/directory functions.
I have a pretty basic TransferSpreadsheet module that works well except that if the Zip code has the four digit extension, it's not importing.
Option Compare Database
Dim myCheck
Function MeridianLinkFileImport()
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "tbl_MeridianLinkFileImport", "R:DEPT-BRCONSUMER LENDINGMarketing Campaigns2014 Auto Loan PrescreenReport from LoansPQ.xls", True, "Sheet1!A3:AO50000"
End Function
If there is no extention, it is importing fine... 85086 works fine but 85018-4710 doesn't import.
The field is a Short Text data type.
How 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
This is complex, but here goes.
I am copying many many music cds to my hard drive. However, the song file names on the cds are track01.mp3, track02.mp3, etc. I have all the real songnames for each cd listed in the database. I need a way to rename the songs with their real names one cd at a time. My thought was to populate one table with the directory and filenames (track--) of the songs and populate another table with real songnames from the database. Then, somehow, rename the files. I'm lost. I hope someone can help!
I've been using MS access to lift some text files for a number of years
I have now got an issue where by the new machinary is very clever and has alittle server to collect the data. Machine1_127.0.0.1, Machine2_127.0.0.1
Previously I picked them up via ftp and downloaded the data into a text file called Machine1.txt
Now I can run a server where by the Machine1_.txt is created locally on the processing machine
however the software included ( which I can't change) just creates text files like so Machine1_127.0.0.1 and now the link doesn't work when I create the link access throw this:
"Microsoft Jet Database engine could not find the object c:Path to fileMachine1_127.0.0.1.txt. Make sure the object exists and name and Path are correct"
If I manually copy the file and rename it to machine1.txt all is good
Any offers/thoughts or suggestions, the path is quite deep at present and that could be changed.
I can't import the files either? unless I rename them and at the moment I am doing this through the interface
After several days of searching, I haven't been able to find any threads related to this. I'm making a search form that queries a pdf library table. Once a search query is entered, the user is able to open the files from a results form. Currently, I am entering the filenames from the network directory manually into the pdf library table.
For example, I manually enter the following information into the tblPDFLibrary table that contains the fields:
Date added, Filename, File Path, Series, Class, Title.
I was wondering if there's a way to have Access query all the filenames in the directory for me. In other words, if the directory contains the filenames: AccountsPDF, InventoryPDF, CustomerPDF. Can I have Access query all the filenames within the directory and automatically add all the file names (AccountsPDF, InventoryPDF, CustomerPDF) to the Filename field within the tblPDFLibrary table? If I am able to do this, I can code the other fields to populate information because the filename contains all the other field information (except for file path but I can program it insert the UNC path).
I'm able to import new data from excel just fine, but I can't import updated data from excel due to duplicates not being allowed for a particular field. Is there a way to keep from importing duplicate records based on one field, but still import data from other fields where the information is different from the excel file?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a file that I need to import on a regular basis. There are two different issues with the import:
1. the first digit in the file indicates if it is a record I want to keep. In this case a 1 indicates a repair record and an 8 indicates it is just information such as email, contact info etc.
2. I have a field in the file that may change the import specifications
For example:
If the record is a Non wheel repair then column 167 is a 50 character description
If the record is Wheel repair then column 167 is a 28 character description and the remaining 22 characters are broken down into 10 different fields
So I need to do the following
1. Read the first character in the line and determine if it is a number 1 and if not discard it
2. Read a field in column 109 that is two characters long and if it says it is a wheel repair the import will break column 167 -216 down to the appropriate 11 fields and if it is a non wheel repair it will import columns 167 - 216 as one big description field.
I have used the import specifications with Access but it seems this will have to be done in code in a module or something and I am not very good with VB. (only know the basics)
One other issue is I have dates in the file that are 130225 and 1302 (so full date and then Year/Month) if i take out the / date separator in the import spec the full date works but the Year/Month doesn't.
Hello,

Hi Everyone
I have just solved one problem concerning creating hyperlinks based on values in other fields: See Previous Thread (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=124590)
but now I have another, the hyperlink I have created links to a document, while for the majority of time it is a word document it is not always, occasionally .xls or .pdf
So I need a way of building into the hyperlink code the file extension, my thoughts are it would involve check boxes and if statements (one check box for each) but I am unsure of how to do this, can anyone help?
My code is currently:
Private Sub H_Enter()
Form!H = "hyperlink#C:Documents and Settingscew1My DocumentsWORKSpecs" & Form!S & Form!PC & ".doc#"
End Sub
I am new here and dont know much about access but I have to do some things.
I have a table filled in access. This table (dlb_tbl) contains serveral colums. One colum named "type". The records of this colum has to be changed like this:
one record: 0RD00S101
this has to be changed into: EDH01-RD00S101
So there has to come a new extension EDH01- and the 0 has to be deleted. This has to be done to the whole colum. How can I make a query to do this?:o
Several post in the recent past asked the question of how to package the db for distribution and how to run the Access db in computer not installed with Access. Before Access 2007, you must purchase another program for about one thousand dollar to do this. Microsoft now offer these two programs "Developer Extensions" and "Runtime" for free. The Developer Extension is a program that will package your db into an installation disk. You can package the Runtime program in the install disk for users that use computers without Access 2007. Here are the links to the MS website for the download.

I am trying the beta version of Access 2007 and realize that when converting Access 97 to Access 2007, the new db in Access 2007 has an extension of .accdb. I rename the db file name to xxxxx.mdb and the VB app fails to recognize it.
Is there any way to convert the xxxx.accdb (Access 2007 beta) to xxxx.mdb so that I can try my app against the Access 2007 db?????
Thank you for your time,

How to create an expression that removes the ".tif" extension of a file path.The data looks like this in it raw form:
J:201303080056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_00100562 73_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_3.tif
In my query grid in the filed row I have the following:
ImageRef: Mid([strImagePath],111,38)
which produces the following:
00056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_3.tif
00056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_31.tif
and so on...
What I need to do is remove the ".tif" part of the data. because of the way the path is output with regards to the tif image number, I'm having difficulty in targeting only that data that comes before the ".tif" extension.Is there a method I can use that will remove the right 4 characters and in conjunction with my expression above produce the following:
00056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_3
00056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_31
I've managed to work out how to get the data without the file extension ".tif" with the following expression:
ImageRef1: Left([strImagePath],Len([strImagePath])-4)
which gives me the following:
domgennt.dggroup.comglobalResourceApplication sUNIeFlowIMAGES201303080056273_ELECTRICALRET AILER_0010056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_3
and
domgennt.dggroup.comglobalResourceApplication sUNIeFlowIMAGES201303080056273_ELECTRICALRET AILER_0010056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_31
How can I combine the following expression with the above expression to get what I need:
Combine - Mid([strImagePath],111,38) with Left([strImagePath],Len([strImagePath])-4)
to get this result:
00056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_3
00056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_31

View 6 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to follow a hyperlink to a file without using a file extension?
I have links being created based on the name of a file, but because I haven't used a file extension it crashes.
I know I can give the user a choice of what the file extension is and add it to the hyperlink, but it's an extra step, and another place for someone to make a mistake.
I'm potentially using 3 different file types, Word, Excel and PDF's.
The hyperlink works if I just reference a drive/folder, or if I add the file extension.
