First of all, apologies if this is in the wrong forum, it's my first post and I'm new to the site.
I'm currently working on an Access database that stores personal details.
I would like to be able to link the database to a network drive so a user can see all related .doc .pdf .xls files on the network that are associated with that record.
**************************
Here is the ideal situation:
User looks up record with unique ID 123456 in the database
Database then displays screen showing content of S:Users123456 (Where S: is a network drive)
User clicks database record showing "Personal Details.doc"
I have a client that has several users that need to send out multiple reports that are stored on a shared server drive. These PDF's are logged into a SQL database and the location of where they are stored each day and kept for several years. Is there a way to select several of these reports and attach them to an email that they can send off easily using Access 2010 or 2007?
Hi, it's me again, the guy who works with the Amusement ride industry. I'm trying to set up a way to ogranize all our saftey bulletins that we get.
I've already looked into indexing but the major problem is that the user will need to be able to search on multiple criteria (for example the Tilt A Whirl was made by three different manufacturers). Also I can't download that nifty google tool bar because we're running win 2000 without service pac 3.
Access seemed like a great alernative, but I have about 300 or so files I need to link. Is there a faster way of linking these files than going through and doing them one by one?
I have a pre-made index the guy before me made in exel. Most all the files are in PDF format if it helps at all. Thanks.
I am developing a 2010 database which is split. In the back end I am linking to csv files - with a new file every month to link to.
What I would like to do (and have not been able to find a way to do at all so far! ) is each month to add the new table link in the _be and to be able to choose it in the front end user interface to view reports on, without having to "re-programme" the underlying queries to use the new linked table.
I have a table (tbl Team Info) which contains names and codes for teams within my business (>400 records) and another table (tbl Process) which contains a list of high level tasks (30 records).
I need to create something where for each team name 9in tbl Team Info) I can map them to the tasks that they undertake (in tbl Process) and assign a percentage of time then spend on each task. Each team could map to several different tasks.
I have a database with a table with company names, then a relationship to another table that shows that companies' address, but I also want there to be an address 2 and 3 and so on, and some of our companies have multiple sites.So what Im asking is how would you be able to show multiple data, on a sing record.
I have created a very simple database. I have one form and one table. I have items in the same table as different records that are similar but not the same. I would love to create a link between records to get to these similar records easily. I have read a lot about linking between tables on other things; is it possible to link between records on the same table? If so, any info on where to find it?
I'm experimenting with access and I figured I'd try making a small recipe database, and I entered in all my field names like: Item, Item description, Ingredients, Procedure, etc etc. And when I make my form I want to be able to have links in my ingredients list.
So for example:
Item: Birthday Cake Item Description: Cake for birthdays. Ingredients: Eggs, Flour, Frosting, etc.
Now eggs and flour in the ingredients list wouldn't have links since they're basic components. But for frosting, I want to be able to click it like a hyperlink and it'll send me to this record:
Item: Frosting Item Description: Sweet stuff that goes on cakes. Ingredients: Sugar, etc etc.
I found out i can link fields in different tables together. But is there a way to do what I'm describing above? Linking records to other records?
I have been trying to figure out a best way to attach files to specific records. Up until this point have been using Hyperlink to link files that have been stored in shared folders. This seemed to be a very good option for quiet sometime; but some users wish to play god ! Since I have to give them RWX permission on the folder; they go into the Shared folder and either rename the file or move it around or worse, DELETE the file permanently. Thus messing up the hyperlink.
Now I am planning to use the wretched Attachment data type in Access. I know it will bloat the DB, but this seems to be a safer option. As I can control DELETES/EDITS. So I was thinking to use a stand alone DB, just used for Attachment tables. As these records will not be accessed everytime.
My problem is, I remember vaguely using two linked backend DB files, put a lot of strain on the front end. Thus making the connection very slow. Sometime even upto 10 seconds to simply load the login form.
My idea is to establish a persistent connection to the two DB files on front end opening. Thus the connection is always there so it might not be that slow !
Or is there something I could look into to manage the Files/Attachments more efficiently, other than Hypelinking?
Hi, I have been thinking of allowing our users to be able to link records together within our database. We have a CRM system that lists customers and their details of mortgages and other insurance related products which they have. Some entries maybe linked in some way, possibly other family members etc.
My question is, is it possible to perform this kind of action? So they can then see relationships between either related records (ID ref etc).
I'm sure I've seen this in SQL based applications, but haven't come across it within Access.
Before I spend an age trying to get this to work I thought I'd consult some experts.
I have a main data table for recording all possible insurance claims against a company. What I want to do is create say 2 incidents but link them in some way. i.e. One of our drivers had a car accident (1 claim against our motor policy), but then the driver of the other car sues us(1 claim against our public liability).
I can create 2 seperate records and maybe have a field to highlight parent/child reference numbers, but is there anyway I could allow the user to click a button and see the related records simultaneously?
I have an application where I have to read a big VCF file in VBA, extract the information and place it into records of a table. Of course I can read as a text file, but the structure is quite cumbersome to implement with many fields missing in different records and it is not a one time job.
I have a few hundred access databases all with the same tables and structure, and want to import all the data in a 'mother' database (which i created with the same tables and structure).
I am using a sub that feeds a string to another public sub as follows:
Code: Private Sub cmdImport_Click() Dim strFolder As String 'source folder path for import Dim strFile As String 'individual file path strFolder = GetFolder(Environ$("USERPROFILE") & "Documenti") If Len(strFolder) <= 1 Then Exit Sub
Code to rename photos (Access 2010). The new name (full path) is listed on a table (although I would love to accomplish the task from the list query that I later used to generate the table). There is one field in the table (or query) called OldPath and one field called NewPath. The table name is RenPaths. Both paths are located in the same drive. I want to rename the file in a new folder. I created the new folder which is contained in the NewPath.
I was trying to accomplish this using the Name function
Name OldPath as NewPath
Here is the full code:
Private Sub Command0_Click() Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim db As DAO.Database Dim OldPath As String Dim NewPath As String OldPath = "Select OldPath From RenPaths"
[Code] ....
Here is an example of the paths in my table:
Old Path is - C:UserskcrespoDocumentsFulcrum to MACPFulcrum_Export_a97dee97-ba92-455e-9d5c-3b35617ad357SAA Inspection Form367e14e0-439b-4a50-99e1-9154bcc9e3f7.jpg
New Path is - C:UserskcrespoDocumentsFulcrum to MACPFulcrum_Export_a97dee97-ba92-455e-9d5c-3b35617ad357SAA Inspection FormimageswwMH51856_A3f7.jpg
Im getting an error: Run time error '53': File not found
I checked the OldPath and everything is correct so if the code is working correctly it should have found the file.
I'm building an access2000 database for the development department for a nonprofit. The database houses a contact list which is populated by the names, addresses etc. of all the people that have donated money. The organization will often receive a gift from the husband OR the wife - so we want to have 'gift histories' which isolate a unique record (the individual - in this case we don't want to send a thankyou letter to John AND Mary Smith for a gift that came in from ONLY John Smith). However, when the organization has a fundraising event, or wants to identify how much a specific household has donated then we want to run mail merges and reports that pull information from both the husband AND the wife's records.
Currently the only to do these things is a manuel process. We have records for: John Smith (husband) Marry Smith (Wife) THEN WE ALSO HAVE John and Mary Smith
Therefore, whenever we want to send out a mailing or generate a report we have to delete duplicate addresses from the mail query report, making sure we use the appropriate record for the mailing.
Thus, my question is this:
Is there a way to associate two records from within the same table? That way I could:
run a report for just 'John Smith' OR John Smith PLUS affiliate record.
Send a mailing to 'John Smith' OR send a single mailing to John smith AND affiliate.
This very simple task is actually quite difficult because access doesn't want me to link two records from within the same table. Any suggestions?
Attempted to link to a table on an SQL Server, which included customer records & various contact dates, after the importing the records became corrupted in that they repeated the initial date over & over e.g.
Customer Date AB1111 16.11.04 AB1111 16.11.04 AB1111 16.11.04 AB1111 16.11.04
...as opposed to listing same account number but with 4 different contact dates...also when the Access database was opened on a different PC (also Office 2K) the table was displayed correctly?
Has anyone else come accross the same issue, any advice/guidance much appreciated. :rolleyes:
I posted earlier today and despite all of my best efforst I have made very little progress. I keep hitting my head on the desk at the same point.
I am trying to get one tool entry to link to many records for each tool.
The form [frmVibrationResults] holds tool info, PK is [serial number/reference] as a text field.
The subform on this form called [frmVibrationMagnitude] holds test data for each tool. I want to be able to add a record for each tool for each test. At the moment it only lets me add one per tool. If I try and add more than one record for a tool I get an error message telling that I am duplicating information in the PK, index or relationship.
I have tried all day to solve this and can't proceeed without it working. Can anyone help. I've attached the zipped version of the DB.
basically i want to have a button that opens up a form that links to the record i'm currently viewing. But then i want to be able to navigate to the other records, in access when you use the wizard to find specific data on a form it doens't then let you navigate to the other records
In my job we work with several raw data .txt files exported from Oracle ERP system. These data include information about: inventory, sales, backorders, purchase orders, forecasts, product line.
My goal is to put information from all of these imported txt files together to create an easy to use snapshot file.
The common field between al of these files is the item description. I have an issue where records are repeated for several fields every time the same item description is showed. For example for the same product description the january sales forecast QTY is repeated on several rows because there are several orders for this product description. Is there a way to make forecast QTY appear only once but keep the multiple orders and their information?
I have been looking around for a while now to learn how to show in a subform similar records from the same table, and a way to link them together.
I work for a mental health organization and we have a call log database that we create a new record every time a person calls us - this allows us to track the outcome of these calls. Over the last 3 years we have about 10% repeat callers. I am trying to find a way, when creating a new entry, to see if this person has called before, and if they have, link their past contact (record) to the new contact (new record).
For example.
Caller: John Smith (555) 555-5555 (this is the new record)
in the subform, a list would populate all the 'john smith' records with an option to link or attach them to the new record.
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 .
Code: Loop through files in folder folderspec = "O:QA FilesQC ReportingPending Review" Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set f = fs.GetFolder(folderspec) Set fc = f.files
I am trying to put together a database that tracks individual clients and what products they selected for a finance company. I have setup the CLIENTS list but because each client will have different (and multiple) services I wanted to add the SERVICES list as a separate item and then link each product to the individuals that each record relates to. There may also be two clients on the one product so again it would be ideal if the product (i.e a Home Loan product) was setup in the SERVICES list, and then I could link One or Two clients to that individual mortgage record using their data which is stored in the CLIENTS list.
Every hour a zip file is created in an FTP folder. The zip file contains an .mdb access database file with any changes to the data since the last hours file.
What is the best method to get access to connect to the content of the zip files and pick up the changes to the data?
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 ?
