Hi All
I have a small Help Desk db with tables that contain computer spec and user information. But I already have all this information in Active Directory and it seems pointless entering the information twice.
Is there any way i can get the database to lookup the information from Active directory i have no idea where to start.
Thanks
I want to link into the active directory to get a list of staff usernames, so it will update the user table as new members of staff are created etc. We currently have around 130 staff, so rather than manually updating the user table i want it to pick up the usernames from AD?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to tie a from into the results from and AD Query. I'm not that experienced with doing this kind of thing so I may be going about this the wrong way. Anyway here's what I've got so far:
Code:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Set cn = New ADODB.Connection
With cn
.ConnectionString = "Provider=ADSDSOObject;Trusted_Connection=yes;"
[Code] .....
When stepping through the code, it all goes well until it hits the line that actually connects it to the form "Set Me.Recordset = rs".
When this line is executed, Access crashes and attempts to restart.

Can you use a VB6 directory listbox control on a MS Access form to display the directory structure? If so, how do you do it?
Or is there some other way to display a user selectable directory structure on an Access form?
Thanks

Hi All,
I've been trying to use TreeView control to display my computer's directories and folders just like Windows Explorer does.
Thanks to Popeye for reposting all the Treeview samples (samples posted before the site was hacked). Most or all of these samples, TreeView is used to display data out of tables. Mr. Ghuson posted a great example for browsing directory but it pops up a separate windows for browsing.
Now I'd like to somehow combine the two into one; browsing thru directories and folders using TreeView Control. Yes that I can browse and save all paths and directories to different tables and add them to the TreeView control but I'm trying to stay away from saving data to tables first.
Can this be accomplished? Can Windows Explorer be somehow embeded on an Access form or called? Any ideas, experts out there?
Thanks all in advance.
Anyone got any ideas how to get the directory path where the database is running?
Thx in advance

I have made an Access database containing contract names and addresses. I need to have each of these contracts linked to another table which shows the allocated engineer for the particular contract. I used a "one 2 many" relationship using a field "LinkID" to do this. Each engineer has a unique "LinkID" in the engineer table but the engineer changes each day. The engineer for each particular day comes via an excel spreadsheet. The way it works at the moment is that the engineer name has to be manually changed each day, and this takes time. I have tried importing a linked excel table which looked like it would work, but was not able to use the linked table in the same "one 2 many" related table format as above.
What i need to do, is find a way for the fields containing the engineer name to be automatically updated somehow, possible by reading the values from the excel sheet.
Anybody know of any way for this to be done?
Thanks, and hope this makes sense got its got me baffled.
*** Edit **** Thinking about it, i could have an imported execl sheet which contains all of the engineers for each day. Would there be a way using a macro, to update the data in the engineers table that is related to the contracts, by overwriting it with the data from the linked spreadsheet?
Hi,
In MS Access,
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "Appr", acFormatRTF, "P:Appr.rtf", False
I want output the file in the current directory,
the above code is specific the path,
how can I edit the current path, so whereever the the database is either drive, they still can work.
The concept is like that
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "Appr", acFormatRTF, currentdirectory:"Appr.rtg", False
Please let me know, thanks.

We decrypt about 130 different files into an internal directory by using code that was created in Access 2010. I would like to open that directory with the files that were decrypted for that day so the user can confirm that the process was completed. I use the Shell command throughout the code but I cannot figure out a way to open the directory.

Hello, I have a VBScript that when clicked on opens the command prompt and fires code to upload a query to my website.
What I would like to do is place a command button on my form that will call the script to run instead of having to go and click on it.
I have searched, maybe using wrong terms, but havent been able to get the right code to do this
any help to call this script from a command button would be appreciated.
Hi,
Having recently correlated the impossible pile of photos that I have on CD, including a lot of re-naming etc... I have now managed to get them down onto DVD.
I there an easy way to import a directory listing into an access database other than inputing the lot by hand? I don't wan't to add thumbnails just the file name and the directory it's in. I can embelish other details later via ASP, just need the bulk of the work done easily.
I have some experience of database design but not huge amounts of programming, other than the ASP side of things so if anyone has a complex answer please go gently with me!!!

Hello creators,
I have a little problem and it is creating and checking directories.
In my database I have a form, on it you can see a record of a project. This project has a keyfield called projectno.
On this form there is a button to create a directory with the projectnumber. So far so good. (code example: MkDir ("C:projects444323")
My problem:
If the directory for some reason already exist the code stops and gives an error.
Now I want to create some code that checks if the directory already excist so than I can skip making the directory.
Thanks for the help!!!!!
