Invalid Path Name
Apr 25, 2006
I have very very basic skills in Access and have been attempting to work with a database that a previous employee from my office designed. The other day another person in my office moved the folder on our office network that contains the link to open the database and today when I entered our database and tried to click on one of the forms to enter data it is telling me that the path name for that form cannot be found. How do I edit the path name for a form?
Thanks,
Veronika

My issue is an existing database in ms Access 2007, it runs great on the local computer, but now we are trying to share the database with other computers in the office across the network. We get an error when trying to open the database from any machine over the network
windows 7 home premium 64bit is hosting the database, trying to access the database across the network from windows 7 ultimate 32bit. I have mapped a drive to the shared folder of the database and added the network location to the trusted locations, I then placed a shortcut on the desktop to the database files, but I get an error that access can't find the tables, showing the correct path to the tables. "z:databaselah.mdb" What am I missing?I can open access and then open the tables from within access in table view, but in form view I get a blank page.

After some help from one of the threads here I managed to install a Browse button in a form that inserts a file path to a text box. What I need is the folder path from that file path in another text box. For example if the file path is
C:Documents and SettingsmixupSketchesowl.jpg
I would like to get either
C:Documents and SettingsmixupSketches
Or,
C:Documents and SettingsmixupSketches
in my second text box.
I do not have much experience with Access; therefore please give a little detail on how to accomplish this.
Thanks.

Hi,
Ans1:
MyShortcut.TargetPath = "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10Msaccess.exe "
Ans2:
MyShortcut.TargetPath = "C:Program Files..Msaccess.exe "
The Ans1 works fine.
The Ans2 doesn't work.
I want to work the Ans2, because every user machine's Office path is different.
For example:
MyShortcut.TargetPath = "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10Msaccess.exe "
MyShortcut.TargetPath = "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice11Msaccess.exe "
MyShortcut.TargetPath = "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice12Msaccess.exe "
MyShortcut.TargetPath = "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice13Msaccess.exe "
So, I want to create the link with the target
MyShortcut.TargetPath = "C:Program Files...Msaccess.exe "
How can I do it?
Please let me know, thanks.

I get the following error:
"There is an invalid use of the .(dot) or ! operator or invalid parentheses."
This is the code that errors out:
Code:If Not IsNull(Forms![ctrlpanel]![subEditUsers].Form!cmbSection) Thensection = Forms![ctrlpanel]![subEditUsers].Form!cmbSectionEnd If
All it's doing is checking to see if a user selected anything from the combo box. Thanks!

I have a button that allows a user to select a file using the windows select file dialog using the following code:
Dim fd As FileDialog
Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
With fd
.Title = "Select A Text file to Import"
.Filters.Add "Text File", "*.txt"
.FilterIndex = 1
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.InitialFileName = CurrentProject.path
result = .Show
If (result <> 0) Then
Me!txt_path = Trim(.SelectedItems.Item(1))
End If
End With
Is there a way that I can capture the path of the file they select in a separate text box?
Thanks!

I went to the Microsoft knowledge base (304408) and found a routine that automatically logs off users with a short warning. It works fine, but depends on the presence or absence of a small text file which is named chkfile.ozx. The file is referenced in a form timer function as follows:
Dim StrFilename as String
strfilename = Dir("c:MyDirectorychkfile.ozx")
The function then tests for its presence and does its thing. You trigger the logoff by going in as sysop and changing the name of the file so it is no longer found.
The problem I have is that on the network, I use the backend file on the network and different users map different letters to it. I get around this by linking using UNC eg. \ServerNameSYSData_be.mdb.
I put the chkfile.ozx into this directory since all users presumably have access to it.
I tried changing the trigger function to
strfilename = Dir("\ServerNameSYSchkfile.ozx")
but the program doesn't recognize the presence of the file. When I map it as "F:SYSchkfile.ozx" it works, but since all users will not be mapped to "F", it really isn't a solution.
Does anyone know the proper syntax to include in the Dir method for UNC naming?

Hi,
If I use Visual Studio 2005 to create a package for my clients, they can run the mdb/mde file, right.
But, if I create the shortcut to let the user to open the database with command, do they work?
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10Msaccess.exe" "E:Databasesinvoices.mdb" "cmd 12344"
If I create the package for them, do they have same path and exe file ("C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10Msaccess.exe")?

Hi All,
I have 2 errored records in my large access database which I am unable to delete. As I scroll over either of these records I get the error "Invalid Argument" but the database is functional otherwise... Until Today!
Other users can get into the database but I get the "Invalid Argument" error before it even loads the main form.
Can anyone help please?
Many Thanks

I am running Win XP Pro, with Office 2003 accross a network, with a FE/BE split
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I did a quick search and really didn't find anything related to this. Though, I'm sure it's pry happened before.
I have started work on a new front end and have several linked tables to our back end. As well as copies of them for the purpose of the front end. On load the backend tables update the front ends tables, and on exit the front end tables append/update the back end tables.
I began work on a data entry form for fields residing in the front end tables and found that when I attempted to make a command button for the purpose of record navigation I received the error "Invalid Use of Null" and all of my options were empty (Concerning the control functions) and everytime I changed action categories i recieve the same error.
Also, I tried to work around it with a combo box for searching, only I don't have the option available to make it search.
So . . . I tried to circumvent with an unbound text box that performed a macro searchforrecord but I receive and error that the table I'm search within is not open.
Any clues would be great, any fix would be immaculate. I'm a bit flabbergasted.

I have a left-join query where I know that some of the values in the left-hand table have no corresponding values in the right-hand table...that's why I used a left-join: I want all the values in the left-hand table to show up. I would expect that records without corresponding values in the right-hand table would show up as nulls (I swear I have dozens of other queries that work this way) but in this one, they show up as "#error" instead.
This is a problem because I want to do some calculations on this field. Normally I would use the nz function to change the nulls to zeros.
So,
1. Any idea why this is happening?
2. Is there a way to change the #error values to zeroes, similar to using the nz function?
HEre's the SQL:
SELECT FeederInventorySummary.machine, FeederInventorySummary.Size, FeederInventorySummary.Leaf, FeederInventorySummary.Type, FeederInventorySummary.CountOfFeederID, FeederNeedsSummary_7.FeederQty
FROM FeederInventorySummary LEFT JOIN FeederNeedsSummary_7 ON (FeederInventorySummary.Type = FeederNeedsSummary_7.Type) AND (FeederInventorySummary.Leaf = FeederNeedsSummary_7.Leaf) AND (FeederInventorySummary.Size = FeederNeedsSummary_7.FeederSize) AND (FeederInventorySummary.machine = FeederNeedsSummary_7.ActualMachine);
For every record without a corresponding record in FeederInventorySummary_7, the FeederQty field shows up as #error.
