Modules & VBA :: Automate Scanning From Access To Specific Folder On Server
May 16, 2014
I have some code set up to automate scanning from access to a specific folder on the server. I have searched the web for different codes and have not come across anything that will scan an unknown amount of documents. The best I found was the code I am currently using, that will scan up to 10 documents separately, then convert these documents into 1 PDF. This is not ideal, however, because it would require the user to scan 1 document, wait, than scan another, wait, etc. Also, the code I am currently using will only scan from the glass, not the auto feeder, and I am unsure how to change this.
Private Sub cmdCOC_Click()
'scan COC
On Error GoTo Err_Handler
Const DEVNAME As String = "Brother MFC-7860DW LAN"
Dim ComDialog As WIA.CommonDialog
[Code] .....

We have a server that we use to run a Microsoft Access application. This application creates folders, subfolders and files on the server.Users are in 4 different offices. Each office has at least 3 computers. Some users also work from home.
Users creates file through word, or scanning a document or by saving an email on their local pc.My problem is that users need to be able to save a file to a specific folder on server.

I need some simple code that will copy an Excel file or a table in Access to a specific location on an FTP server. I would think this would be a very simple task, but I have yet to find any sample code that is *simple*. I have seen lots of code that requires downloading this dll or that mda, but the examples don't work. There must be something built into MS Access 2010 that will allow a file to be uploaded to an FTP site.
All the variables are known:
The FTP location (it never changes)
The FTP Username and Password (they never change)
The destination folder on the FTP site (it never changes)
The File type (it never changes)
The File name (available from the form in Access from which this will be executed)
I can either produce an output file, then copy it to the FTP site, or I can export the table directly to the FTP site with the file name for that day.
This seems to be a very simple task with no simple solution. Currently I am using an FTP app to get the file to the FTP site, but I would like to automate this. The process that creates the output file is already automated, so I would just like to add this to the existing code as its own module.
I'm looking for a simple command on the idea of:
DoCmd.FTPFile, acExel, TableName, FTPFilePath, FTPFileName, Username, Password, acUpload
just made all that above up and none of it is a real function/command in VBA, but is just the kind of thing I'm looking for.
I would think that since I can download and XML file from an FTP site that it should be child's play to upload a simple file to an FTP site, but I can't figure it out.

In VBA I have set a timer on a form to run a query and export to a specific folder as an excel file.
If I open the database as 'File Open' and open the form and let the timer run it exports perfectly.
As soon as I put the database into runtime - the Timer code kicks in and starts running but as soon as it hits the export line. It stops and then does nothing
I have tried several combinations of either:
- docmd.runsavedimportexport "Query"
- docmd.outputTo acquery etc ...

I have been asked to create a database very quickly for a small group that needs to scan multiple pages into an Access 2007 form. They they would like all scanned documents to be converted to PDF and stored on a shared network folder which can be accessed by their group. I have tried several ideas posted but, I have been unable to get any to work correctly. Any sample of working database that the scanning portion is working? I am so involved with other projects right now that I just don't have the time to create a scanning process on the database.

I am fairly new to databases and have goolged for this question. I have a database created that will keep track of drawing files in our archive. What I would like to do is, give the end-users the option to type in the file location and click a button to copy there files from their project folder directly to the archive directory on the server.
Would this be fairly easy to do or would it require the assitance of a access database programmer? Thanks for any help.

I've been using Access 2007 to run queries on a database where we eventually export results as separate Excel spreadsheets for individual clients. The process is quite involved, using queries to change fields from code letters to words and splitting the database up into different client tables, saving the tables under date order and with different client codes.
I now need to pass this role on to colleagues, so need to make everything as straightforward as possible.
I had thought to use a Form as the user interface, with a minimum number of buttons, however I need either the system or the user to amend the date for the initial table, then to use this new table and run a series of standard queries on it, then produce the separate tables.
I don't think I can just use macros behind the buttons, because the database name is changing each time.
I assume some parts will be too tricky to automate - it will be necessary for colleagues to follow instructions instead.....

hi guys,
i have 20 odd machines sharing the one access front end, however i find that i have to recompile the front end on some machines as the references dont match up. i'm assuming the office install is slightly different with the paths or something. there are just 3 machines that have this error but it is frustrating as i have to recompile and have 3 different copies of the one program.
is it possible to have all of my references stored on the server and they replace the current ones? i tried putting them in a folder and using the browse button but it only updated some references and not others. the obvious error i have with the 3 different ones is the trim function, it always throws an error where i use that.
thanks

I'm trying to open a folder based on a BIN nr. This folder could be in a main folder that has diferent subfolder. As there where differnt naming used to create the folderes, one of the things they have always is the BIN nr. It alwasy start with a unique number and maybe I could use it to scan the subfolders and open that one that the BIN nr is equal as in the field BIN.
Now we have serveral 1000th of folders and finding them takes time.

I have created a database that saves a link of technical data. Now i have forms where you can add the hyperlink of the data in the database. You can also type information about the data into the form (like location, what kind of part etcc.)But I was asked to save the data in a specific folder that you can select.
So what I have to do is:
Browse for a file in a form.Save the hyperlink of the file in the database.Don't save the file in the database, but copy the file that's selected when browsing to specified folder

Open a specific Windows Folder.I am using this code to open a specific Windows folder ..... and it works perfect:
As String Dim folder
folder = "c: Documents WORD"
Dim Retval
Retval = Shell ("explorer.exe / e, / root," "" & folder & "" "", 1)
... but also need to open in the specified path, taking the data "UserName" of one field in a table:
TABLE: "Assignments" IDEExp, UserName, Date
So instead of going to the folder = "c:Documents WORD" would go to: c: Documents WORDUserName ". In Windows and subfolders are created with UserName1, 2,3,4, etc.

I have a table that contains passive and active devices. I want to find correct active device to which passive device is connected. However passive device can be connected to another passive device and after that to an active device - could be endless times a passive device is connected to passive device and then in the end to an active device. So the code needs to plot the path from beginning passive device to the correct active device.
I will include excel table with data and wanted result.
The criteria for passive devices that need its active device found, is i think something like this:
Code:
SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE [TYPE] = "D3P" AND NOT [Mark] LIKE "*ZUUM*" AND [Sort] = "Passive"
I got the result via doing excel function index-match for like 5 times and excel stalling. However I would like it to be done automatically.

I have an access front-end package that works just fine but if there is an update, I just want the program to run scripts to update the SQL Server tables that it is connected to. I just don't know how to do this. I know how to do this on SQL Server Management studio and all, I just was hoping I could do it straight from my access front end so that a user could just click a button and update the tables or something.

I have 3 attachment boxes in my table that appears in a form.each attachment box contains specific files (not specific as in extension such as PDF, JPEG, etc.) but specific as in Company Documents, Certifications, Resumes. The issue is there's a lot of document and I see my database growing (fast)...My question finally is....
Can I use a Hyperlink to open a folder within a specific directory where multiple file are located so i can open the specific file need there RATHER than attaching them in the attachment box individually?.?.....If not how this can be done (no SQL) unless that route is very simple and basic coding.
My thinking would be to place the file path to the documents in the table and hyper link that column in the table, but not knowing exactly how Hyperlinks work I don't think it would actually work..

I have an Access 2010 application that talks to SQL Server. Part of the application creates tables on the SQl Server and inserts data to it (I know SQL Server has its on data inport/export wizard and bulk insert capabilities but for reasons outside of my control it needs to be done from Access). So I have a connection to the SQl Server and i have VBA that happily executs SQL statements on the SQl Server. The problem is I want to return a recordset from the result of a SQL query issued to the SQL Server. The idea being to check for the presence of tables already created, and if so, append to the already existing table, otherwise if it does not exist, create it and insert data to it.Ive tried the following code but it seems no recordset is being returned:
Set objConnection = New ADODB.Connection
objConnection.Open "DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=10.200.3.14;trusted_connection=yes; DATABASE=" & Me.Combo54
strSQL = "SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE' AND TABLE_NAME = '" & Me.Combo54 & "'"
strSQL = "USE " & Me.Combo54 & " " & strSQL
Set Rst = cmd.Execute("USE " & Me.Combo54 & " " & strSQL)
