I want to link files that are associated with a row in a table. I have added a field to the table that contains the file name and have added a field on my form to display the filename. I have set the "Is Hyperlink?" option to yes on the properties panel. But when I click on the link, nothing happens. I get no error message, nothing. I want to be able to link, word, powerpoint, visio, etc. Any suggestions?
View RepliesI have a form designed in DS mode. If I open it directly (double click on it on the Panel), it works fine
When opening it programmatically (from a button in another form) it shows just ONE record, in spite of having room enough for several records.
May I get some help to check what am I doing wrong?
thanks
Hi. Basically, I've been having trouble with this for a while now. I thought I got it working yesterday, but it turns out not. Here is the situation.
I have built a form that contains several combo boxes and a few text boxes for input. The user enters some or all of this information and clicks "Generate Report". Upon clicking this button, the form needs to launch a generic report that is populated with data using the search terms specified in the form. However, to add complexity, only certain parts of the SELECT and FROM clauses can exist depending on which options are completed on the search form.
I tried: DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acPreview, sqlQuery, whereCond
Where sqlQuery changed based on which settings were specified. However, this did not help because the actual query that belongs to the Report never seemed to change: sometimes it was missing columns.
I tried also to set rptNominationsList.RowSource = sqlQuery, but that also doesn't seem to work. On this one I get "Object required".
Thanks in advance!

What I'd like to do is place a Calendar on a form, then either click or double click on a specific date on that calendar to pop up a report showing records for only the date selected on the calendar. I have an ActiveX Calendar on my form, but I don't see any Event Procedures for Click or Double Click, just Update, Enter, Exit, Focus. Also, if that is not possible, can you select the date, then click a command button to do it instead?

Ok, so I have a form that I am using to apply certain parameters to a report. The form allows the user to specify one or more fields to sort by and then launches a Report with those statements in the Report's where clause using DoCmd.OpenReport. However, when certain fields are searched, I need to add information to the SELECT and FROM parts of my Report's query. I can't figure out how to do this with Access, if it is even possible. Otherwise, I will need to find a way around this.
Thanks for your help,

I have created a report that prints a transaction input via a form. All the data has been posted to tables while the document details are still on the form. The source for the report is a query that gets its "Document ID" from the current form as its CRITERIA. This works fine. I click a button and the report prints.
Now I've added a datasheet that lists all the "Document IDs" that have been posted within a given date range. I've added a Macro to open(reprint) the same report when any Document ID is double-clicked. This is working except that it prompts for a Parameter Value and references Forms!DocDataEntry!txtDocumentID. (Note: this is the name of the original data entry form which is no longer open)
If I manually type the Document ID (that I just double-clicked) in the parameter box, the report prints correctly. But this shouldn't be necessary.
I know I'm missing a WHERE clause on the Macro that opens the report but nothing I've input works. I can't even hard code a document number. Actually any Where clause provided prompts additional parameter boxes to open and they ALL require the SAME INFORMATION... the Document ID.
I'm thinking that the Criteria on the Document ID in the query should be changed to allow a Document ID from any active source.
I have to write a code for my database,i have folder with files "pending Review" and a table with column "tblExcelLocation". when i run my database all the files from pending review folder goes to "tblExcelLocation" on a click of button.But,if the files already exists it should not insert those files and insert the rest.For this i tried to write a code but i think i m unable to do that .

Hello,
I need to be able to take information from a table in access, use this information to populate a PDF file, and then save the PDF file.
i.e. I have leads in a database and I want to pre-fill in application forms (PDF) for the clients.
I did some searching pertaining PDF, but didn't find exactly what I was looking for.
Where should I start?

I have a very simple table of basically a unique number and a couple data fields. On my form with those same fields, I need to be able to create a button that opens a pdf file that is named the same as that unique number. Here is the kicker...I have been able to create a hyperlink with a link to that file and it works fine.... I am trying to set it up so that the file name is automatically put into the hyperlink statement according to what the unique number is for each record.
what I did so far...
in my hyperlink: *file://c:/docubase/3840.pdf (only put * in so not a link here)
this works fine but I need the syntac to make that line take into account the account field (ID) for each record. So something similar to this (already tried this and it doesnt work)
*file://c:/docubase/[id].pdf
I've been looking around and have found some posts that pointed me in the right direction, I just can't get it to work. What I have is 37 excel files of competitor cross references. There are 2 columns in each excel file, our number and their number. I have inserted them as a linked table in the db. What I want to do is create a form that has a field for every part number and make all of those fields a search field. That way they can type in any number and get all numbers back. I have created a query but once I get past 4 linked excel sheets then I get errors about a type mismatch in expression. Also I can't get the form fields referencing the query to show up when I open it. If I leave the query at 2 or 3 fields and use [Forms]![CrossRef]![txtItemNumber] in the criteria of our number in the query, it works. I get a window that pops up when I just open the query asking for a number, I type it in and the query returns the number and competitor numbers. Am I doing this the hard way?? Thanks for any ideas...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have based a form on a parameter query, so that when the user is prompted to enter a 'Hobby' to search on, the relevant records will be displayed on the form.
Now, I have created a command button designed to open a template letter in MS Word for a particular hobby. The problem is, I need the command to open certain file depending upon the value input in the parameter box intially. How would I go about doing this?
In a record, I want to have a text box which displays the file path to a .pdf or .doc, docx file. If you double click in the text box the file within the text box opens.

For info. This is not going to be a major multi user database, but the quote files will be stored on a vserver, not the PC the DB is being used on.
Beginner using 2010. I wish to play MP3 files from a command button on a form. I would like to avoid third party / ActiveX controls if possible.
I am aware that use of "CurrentProject.Path" will be useful to locate the MP3 file within a directory within the Project Folder.
But have be baffled by the sparse previous postings about this subject (going back to 2004). Searching this forum yields zero results on the term "MP3".

And all I need is Play / Pause / Stop. No other functions required.

Just a quick one, I couldn`t find anything on this or in any books I have.
I`m assuming I need to create an MDE file befire I can distribute my database for other people to use ?
Anyway, that I have done, but the question is, I`ve done this and have a select number of ppl using my database, entering LIVE data etc.
Once This has been done can I open this back up in access and make changes to the database, eg forms, reports etc etc ?
If not, is there anyway, I can pull the data out of this and import it into my origanal file, which can then be remade into an MDE ?
I hope I have made myself clear.
Thanks in advance for any help!!
