Mass Change On Hyperlink
Jan 2, 2007I have several thousand hyperlinks that need to be changed due to our network server being changed. I have tried to change the hyperlink field to a text field and do a find and replace. (See mandaman post 3/13/06) The problem that I have is that all the hyperlinked fields have a different text comment in the field to identify the hyperlink to the user. When I change the hyperlink field to text then it thinks that the text in the field is the hyperlink and in fact it has nothing to do with the actual hyperlink. Any suggestions?
View 2 Replies View RelatedReplacing Spaces With %20 For Mailto Link
Aug 29, 2005Hi. I have a database which store the subject title of the mailto link using the upload form. I would like to construct a mailto link that picks up the suject title from my database. However, there are spaces in the subject and the mailto link cuts off at the first spacing. In my display page, I would like to replace the spaces with %20 but have had no success with any attempts.
This is the code that add the data to the database
rs.AddNew
rs("File Name") = fileName
rs("File Size") = fileSize
rs("File Data").AppendChunk fileData
rs("Content Type") = contentType
rs("Title") = "<td valign=top><table width=100% border=0 cellspacing=3 cellpadding=0><tr><td valign=top bgcolor=#a1be1e><font color =white><span class=mainNav4 style5>" & Title & " </span><span class=bodyC2 style5> </span></font color></tr>"
rs("Text") = "<tr><td valign=top><span class=bodyC2>" & Text & " </span>"
rs("Price") = "</span> <span class=style6><strong><font color=#FF6600> " & Price & "**each</font></strong></span>"
rs("Note") = "<br><span class=style6><em><font color=#a1be1e> Note:** " & Note & " </font></em></span><span class=bodyC2></span></td></tr>"

And this is to display
If NOT rs.EOF Then
Response.Write "<body><table width=350 border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=5><tr><td width=5 valign=top><table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 class=outlinerProducts><tr><br><td><img src=""file.asp?ID=" & rs("Id") & """width=130 height=130></td></tr></table></td>"
Response.Write rs ("Title") & "<br>"
Response.Write rs ("Text") & "<br>"
Response.Write rs ("Price") & "<br>"
Response.Write rs ("Note") & "<br>"
Response.Write rs ("Button") & "<br>"
rs.MoveNext
end if
Some assistance would be appreciated. Thank you.

Mailto Function And Body Length
Jul 19, 2007Hi all,
Is there an alternative to using the mailto function that will still open up outlook?
The problem right now is that the body length is too long, so the traditional string = "mailto:joeshmoe@blah.com?subject=test" will NOT work when attaching a message body that is over I think 220 characters or something.
I need to be able to still open up outlook with an extra long message body. Is this possible? Thanks.
Forms :: Hyperlink MailTo - Also Tries To Go To Webpage
Jan 7, 2014MS Access 2000 - Quite simply, on a form I have an Email field and I have the "Is Hyperlink" property set to yes. In the On-Click event of this email field I use this single line of code below to open a new outlook (2007) email with the address already entered. Staff will be entering the email address themselves as part of the clients contact details Form.
Code:
FollowHyperlink "mailto: " & [Email]
This is all fine, however access also tracks [URL] .... onto the end of the email address and tries to also open a web page which obviously fails.
Is there something somewhere I can tweak that tells access to always only treat the text in this field as an email address, and when clicked open an email?
General :: How To Use CDO When Can't Do HTTP Lookups
Jan 2, 2015We are on Win7 with Office 2013 (32-bit). I have had to migrate my application away from a network that is open to the web. I am now on a more isolated network. My problem is that I can no longer use Outlook for e-mail.
I knew that you can use CDO to send SMTP via a Mail Relay server. We've got one of those on this isolated network... but there is a show-stopper here. When setting up the configuration portion of the CDO message, there are these references using
CDO.Configuration.Fields.Item("HTTP:schema.micro soft.com.... etc.) = value
These references are how you define the SMTP server, server port, authentication method, etc. My problem with this is I can't get to that Microsoft site from the isolated network. The SMTP Relay won't do this lookup for me and I have no general internet access.
When I looked into the CDO library, I found that there were definitions for the fields like cdoSMTPAuthenticate and cdoSMTPServer and cdoSMTPServerPort - but when I attempt to use them, Access doesn't seem to like them even though the CDO library is checked in my references list and those values are defined. For what it is worth, the library file says it is version 6.6.7501 (or something close to that), so it is not the older version. The revision date is 6/6/2012, just about right for a file that would have been included in Office 2013's library set.
How to use CDO when you can't do the HTTP lookups? (I know how to use it when the lookups work...)
Modules & VBA :: How To Delete File On Http Server

How can I change the code to delete the file if it exists?
Modules & VBA :: Check If File Exist On HTTP Server
Sep 13, 2013I found and modified this code to allow me to check (fast) if a file exist on a http server or not (without downloading it).
Code:
Public Function CheckNetFile(WebFile As String)
Dim XmlHttpReq As Object
Set XmlHttpReq = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
XmlHttpReq.Open "HEAD", WebFile, False
[Code] ....
In the above code I managed to declare Webfile as a string so I can call on it later but one thing I still need to tweak is to also get a result out of the test code in a better way than having to publically declare the "CheckNet" variable somewhere else in my app.
First prize would something like this:
If CheckNetFile ("http://www.mysite.co.za/test/test.txt") = 1 then "Yes" else "No"
How do I build the 'booleon check' into the original function?
Modules & VBA :: Create Image File From HTTP Request Response Body?
Oct 24, 2014I'm working on a database which is designed to connect to an app called Canvas (www dot gocanvas dot com). It's for a client which runs a team of heating engineers. All the information regarding the engineer's job is uploaded to Canvas through their API as an XML file, and the engineers use an app on tablet to view the job details. When the engineer goes to their customer and does some work, the completed info (which parts were serviced etc) is then downloaded as an XML file via the API into the database. Also, the customer signs on the engineer's tablet to confirm that the work has been done.
Although the XML files for the job data upload and download fine, there's a different API for getting a download of the JPEG which contains the customer signature, and I'm having real problems finding out how to use this.
The API guide says this:
----
The Submissions API is restricted to authenticated users and requires a username and apassword to access. In addition, the ID field is required. If these fields aren't specified, an error is returned.
The result of this webservice invocation will be either a standard JPEG image or an error code.
Example: [URL] ....
All my code (which I've pasted at the foot of this message seems to work fine. There are no errors, and the ResponseBody object appears to contain a byte stream which would be the jpeg... if only I could get it into a jpeg file!
How I go about taking this "stuff" that's come back in the responsebody and actually create a jpeg image file from it? I feel that I'm so close that I can smell it, but can't get the last step!
Here's the existing code :
Code:
Sub DownloadImageFile()
Dim xhr As Object
Dim webServiceURL As String
Dim actionType As String
Dim PostData As String
Dim strResult As String
[Code] ....
Mass Additions
Aug 11, 2005Hello, All.
I have a table that collects training information for our company. Some training is limited to one or two employees and that is easily entered by using a form linked to the table. However, some training is mandatory, company-wide training that all employees must attend. How can I add a record for each employee reflecting this training most efficiently? Is there a way to do a mass update?
Thanks.
Mass Yes/no Toggle
Jun 13, 2007Hello,
I'm trying to update this movie database, and I need something to save me time, not to mention my finger.
One field in this db tracks if a movie is colour or black/white. In the old/existing db, that was done with text - "color" and "black & white". I want to replace that with a yes/no field [Color].
But the db has a few thousand entries.
What I would like to do is either change all of the [Color] fields in the new db to yes, and then manually uncheck the ones that are b/w. But I guess it should also be possible to do the whole operation automatically.
Any ideas as to how to accomplish either of these would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Mass Emails From Access
May 13, 2007I recently posted a question in the REPORTS section asking if it was possible to generate a report that contains only the email addresses of my contacts to generate and send a mass email. There were no responses to that...so that makes me ask - Is there anyway in Access to generate mass emails using only the email address field in a table or query?
I am aware of other programs you can buy to do that - but was hoping to stay within Access.
Thanks for any help!
Mass Email Program
Mar 19, 2008I am sending out multiple emails to my customers in my customer table manually. As it is time consuming to send to about 100-200 customers daily, I am wondering if it is possible to automate the process in access in such a way that I can load all files from a particular folder and the access application will be able to sort the files in the folder for each company based on their name in the field(e.g.CompanyABC_DailyReport,CompanyDEF_DailyR eport) before sending out.
Any advice will be appreciated.:)
Mass Table Rename
Dec 14, 2005I've been asked to come up with a way (one-off) of renaming over 100 hundred tables. The table are all called "STUD_ADMIN_blah". We need to remove the "STUD_ADMIN_" part of the table name.
Is there a nice easy way of doing this without having to physically rename each table individually?
Thanks in advance.

Mass Filter Query?
Feb 7, 2006Hello, I have been working on my database for sometime - searching this forum for answers, thanks to all the experienced people for their sharing of knowledge.
My question is this: My database will be over several years of data, on my splash screen (switchboard) I would like to have a combo box of with choices for years. When a user chooses a year, the entire database is filtered. Say if the choice was for 2005, then anything with a binderdate of 01/01/05 to 12/31/05 will be filtered.
This will need to be done across several tables, queries, forms, and reports.
Once the choice is made for that year - any form the user is on will be filtered for that specific year.
I am still fairly new at access programming, so any code snips or working examples would be greatly appreciated.

Mass Emailing To Our Students
May 18, 2005Hello gang!
I've read through many of the threads relating to sending Email from Access but can't seem to find quite what I'm looking for. I work as a Tutor Coordinator at a local college and I've set up Access to handle a lot of the day-to-day chores that our administrative assistant has to deal with.
One feature that would be absolutely wonderful would be to create and send Emails to students at the click of a button. I have several types of Email I'd like to be able to set up, but the one most needed (and probably most complex) is this:
Students come in to the office and request a tutor. If we have a tutor available, we assign them to an available tutor. If there is no tutor availabe, then every Friday we send out an Email to each individual student saying something like this:
"Dear John Doe - We currently do not have a tutor for MATH 101 at this time, but when one becomes available we will let you know... blah, blah, blah..."
I'd like to set it up so that the body of the message comes from a template - such as a text file (that is easily edited by a user) and populated with fields from a query.
Probably do something like this:
Query the Student_First_Name_field, Student_Last_Name_field, Department_Name_field, Course_Number_field, and Student_Email_field. Send an Email to each Email address pulled from the Student_Email_field and tell them the following - "Dear <first name, last name> we currently do not have a tutor for <department name, course number> at this time... blah, blah, blah..."
Currently the way the administrative assistant handles this is to send each student an Email individually - manually creating each Email with the specific data needed. As you can guess, this is quite time-consuming.
I'm rather new to Access but have been a RDMS programmer (in PICK) for several years. I know what it is I want to do, but don't know how to do it in Access.
Any help?
Would the best way be to use text files for templates?
Can text files be set up with field codes (Access recognizes "<LAST NAME>" to be Student_Master_Table.Last_Name_field)?
I'm guessing this will likely have to be a Visual Basic loop that works with data from a query.
Help? *grin*
Access For Mass Mailing Causes Outlook ???
Feb 3, 2007I have a database for clients and have set up a form and code to run a query for different types of clients and to send emails to the group.
Everything works fine until I try to send and then I get a Microsoft Outlook pop-up which states:
"A program is trying to automatically send e-mail on your behalf. Do you want to allow this? If this is unexpected, it may be a virus and you should choose "No."
This message stays for 5 seconds and then I can click on "YES" and it will send the email, and start all over for the next recipient.
I am assuming this is an Outlook Spam Blocker, but is there any way to stop it?
Thanks
Mass Import From Excel To Aggregate Data
Jun 16, 2015I have 300++ Excel files that contain data in the format of column1 = textual identifier, column2 = numerical value. Each file can have up to 1300 rows. The text identifier will be 95% the same in all files with slight variations.
I want to create a database to store the numerical value of each identifier from every excel spreadsheet and average the value.
This should be ~1300 instances, each with 300++ value assigned to it. Then run a report to pull the average value of every instance/identifier.
My (many) questions as follows..
-Is Access a good way to go about this?
-Is there an efficient way to bulk import from excel ( I just saw a script to do this below )?
-How to set up tables/queries/relationships?

Queries :: Mass Duplicate Main Records And Related Subform Records
May 29, 2014In my simple database (attached), I need to mass duplicate Tasks and their Notes.
I have three tables: tbTasks (PK: Task_ID), tbNotes (PK: Note_ID), jtbTaskNotes (FKs: Task_ID and Note_ID). jtbTaskNotes is my many-to-many junction table that ties Tasks to Notes.
The main form (fmTasks), bound to tbTasks, has a subform (sbfm_TaskNotes) that displays notes associated with each Task. On themain form,you select which Tasks you want duplicated via a checkbox. The append query (quCopyTasks) will duplicate all tasks that have the checkbox checked. All good there. However, I can't figure out how to also duplicate each task's Notes.
I found Allen Browne's solution [URL] ....., but that only handles duplication of one record at a time, whereas I need to duplicate many records at a time (sometimes 10+ records). How do I go about duplicating multiple Tasks and their associated Notes?
Before you ask "why are you duplicating records?": There are times when tasks need to be re-accomplished and therefore need to have a new record. It's easier to duplicate records than it is to hand-jam everything again.
Forms :: Change Button Color After Data Change
Apr 5, 2014I am trying to change the button color on a subform if a related form data changes.Main form is products with a continuous subform with serial numbers of products i.e, serial number, location, price and a button to add addtional issues if there are any for this particular serial number (this will open up another form related to the serial number so I can add an issues if there are any).The reason I would like the button to be a different color is so I can quickly see if there are any additional notes been added to the serial number. Just in case you may ask why not add the field to the continuos form is that the issues and be quite lengthy and there may be lots of serial numbers on the form
