Modules & VBA :: Check For Specific Version Of A Ribbon To Connect To Database?
Sep 2, 2014
I have been trying to come up with a solution for a problem I am having for a while to no avail. We have a backend database that stores various tables full of data. We then have a custom Excel Ribbon that connects to the database and pulls in the different tables depending on the user selection form the ribbon. Everything is working well on that end. The problem I am running into though is that in the development phase of the ribbon and database we had multiple versions and so there are still some people who are using old versions of the ribbon and therefore not connecting properly to the database. Is there some type of code I can add into the database and ribbon where it checks for a specific version to ensure the user is using the most recent version?
Basically, before any type of query is run to connect to the database the ribbon would have some sort of label on it somewhere and the database would check for that label and if it is correct, the code proceeds and if not a message box appears that tells the user they are not using the most current version of the ribbon and exits the sub?
I am trying to connect to excel from Access database. Once I make the connection I want to delete data from a range on a specific sheet. There are 4 columns on the spreadsheet but i wouldn't know how many rows. So for example, A150... but I may not know what the last row is. How would I be able to delete data from a range of columns to the last row?
Access 2007, split database, 9 users. I have been able to link the BE tables with the Linked Table Manager. I use the DNS name path because everyone has different drive mappings. I can open my linked tables as a RecordSet and AddNew and Update records. However, I cannot Seek and Edit the linked tables. I understand that I need to open the BE tables directly in order to do this. Now, I can do a connection like this, and it works for me:
Dim dbs As DAO.Database Set dbs = DBEngine.OpenDatabase("R:DataTask_be.accdb")
But, as I said, everyone has different drive mappings. Therefore, I need to use the Network address instead of a drive letter. I tried this:
Set dbs = DBEngine.OpenDatabase("ServerMyBackEndDataTas k_be.accdb").
Is there a way to connect access database with a softphone? I have an IP PBX and a soft phone and i need to click on a form and auto dial the contact. My DB contains all the data I need and also PBX.
PBX running asterisk software.
Do i need a module or something like TAPI that call windows dialer (but win dialer use a modem and not Ip phone I guess)..Or something that just wake up voip softphone and paste data?
Actually what I am looking to do is have an Access application check some Web site for the presence of a number. This number could be the Serial number of the application and if this number exists to maybe show a message in the aplication or even terminate the application.
A quick and dirty way is for User Serial number 254, to put on a specific page of a Web site say arbitrary file 254.jpg (invisible on the Web site). The application would check for the existence of this file and if it is there, it could take some action. Everything would have to be done in stealth mode.
The following code can tell me if a specific URL exists, in this case [URL]
Code:
Private Sub cmdArbitray_Click() Dim blnDum As Boolean blnDum = blnCheckURL("http://www.VisualDentist.com") ' If blnDum = True then it exists End Sub Public Function blnCheckURL(ByVal strURL As String) As Boolean Const FLAG_ICC_FORCE_CONNECTION As Long = &H1 blnCheckURL = (InternetCheckConnection(strURL, FLAG_ICC_FORCE_CONNECTION, 0&) <> 0&) End Function
I haven't used access before and have been set the task to create a data of photos. The table is called 'Find a Photo' and contains 6 catergories of various information including river, site and date. I would like to create a search/command button by which i can type the river, site and date into seperate text boxes and search all of them at the same time.I don't know how to connect a command button to command button and not sure if any macros/queries are needed. Hope all this aint to hard to do.
How to let the user save a preliminary version of a record in a form? I have a table with records representing airplane status. Sometimes, the user wants to save a preliminary version of the status and create some other versions and save all of them for that specific airplane, but this does not happen for all the airplanes. How would I do that? Is it possible at all?
Hey guys... I created a reaaaally simple wages calculation program some time ago in VB6. When you click the save button, the records are saved to a .txt file stored in the same directoy as the program itself.
However, I'd like to take this a step further and connect this program with some tables setup in an Access database. I know this has something to do with ADO, right? But not quite sure how to set this up..
Would it be possible to get some guidance on this? If you'd like to see the program, let me know.
Hi there, Thank you for this great site, and a special thanks to all persons here who are giving a big help to newbees as me. here is my prob: I have set up some few ASP pages using dreamweaver 8 in wich I put some forms to collect data from users (actually I'm recruting subjects for a scientific research) and teste them on my local host using IIS server and access 2000 database. all things work correctly. My strconnection in my local machin is as follow: Code:<%' FileName="Connection_ado_conn_string.htm"' Type="ADO" ' DesigntimeType="ADO"' HTTP="true"' Catalog=""' Schema=""MM_connsujets_STRING = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=c:InetpubwwwrootSujetsRecdbRecruSujets .mdb; Persist Security Info=False"%> I have found a site (http://www.asphost4free.com) wich host free asp pages. I uploaded my pages but the connection to the data base is no longer working. the host site give this sample of code to get to connect to the data base: Dim Conn Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") strConnection = "DRIVER=Microsoft Access Driver(*.mdb);DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("/USERNAME/db/yourdatabase.mdb") oConn.Open(strConnection) .... ... oConn.Close I have follwed it and I have changed the username and the database name with mine but I can't figure out what to put to replace the .... after oConn.open. I git error this error when I have tryed to connect: Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01a8'
Object required: 'oConn'
/kin2006/Connections/connsujets.asp, line 11
I deleted the oconn but it doesn't help I have tryed many other combination without any success. Any clue!! thanks in advance
I have code working for some workers here ,who used to save excel files in a folder and my databse upload those files into database and then do the rest.I am looking for a code in vba which,on upload button matches the file in table and if the file already exists ,it should not upload again in the table and if it does not exists it should upload . I have attached my code below :
Private Sub Command0_Click() Dim strcPath As String strcPath = "O:QA FilesQC ReportingPending Review" Dim strcNewPath As String
I would like to make some changes to the Northwind sample database.I need to have the Customers section completely removed as my company issues products to our own staff, not to external customers, so there is no Customers and shipping details needed.
I would like to be able to check if a db is open and if it is to prevent the user from proceeding.
I use the Access 2013 Runtime. I can check if a db is open by trying to open Exclusively, using something like
Code: [URL] ....
But if the db is already open Not exclusively and I try to open it exclusively it does not raise an error and it allows the user to open the db in Read Only mode.
I would like to be able to prevent this, because careless and/or inexperienced users may open several instances of the db.
Of course, if the db is already open exclusively it does not allow you to open it exclusively another time.
I am finishing an Access database for a customer that may want, in a later stage, to have a website(probably ASP) that would connect on the same database. Is that possible? I mean can an Access project on a pc connect to remote database(mdb or SQL server) used by the website?
If so can you give me some quick steps to do so or a good article on it?
I am trying to create a button on an access form that will prompt the user to enter a search month and then export to excel all records in that database that match that month.
So, if the user prompt "what month" is October, then THE 30 records in the field [receivedate] that are in october (10/XX/XXXX) are exported to excel.
I am trying to connect to an access database format 2003 from my access 2007 database. I would like to create a recordset from a table in the 2003 database and bind it to a listbox in my 2007 database.I tried to the following code that didn't work.
Code: Dim DNHConn As ADODB.Connection Dim Rs As ADODB.Recordset Dim connStr, xSource, xSys, xUsr, xPsw On Error GoTo errH
[code]....
When I try to execute that code, I get an error that the apllication can't start because the worgroup file is either missing or opened exclusive by another user.
I have recently inheritied a database and find that there are functional differences between different versions of the database. The database contains over 30 very large tables and I am unable to find the differences between the versions. I need a process or tool that I can use to compare the different versions to find the table/record/field differences. I am up against a deadline and am needing a solution ASAP.
There seems to be some inconsistency in controlling the ribbons in Access 2013.I have managed to use the USysRibbons custom table and XLM to hide the ribbon in one app, but when I set the same config up in another db's the ribbon wont hide.
I've then made an empty db and tried in this and it still wont hide.What are the "current db" setting that must be set to make the ribbon hide?
I've developed an Acc2003 App that reads from a ODBC linked table.This link was created fro DBwindow->Link table. It often opens a window asking for userNmae and Pwd - I wold liek to aviod this wen distributing the App. So I wrote tis code:
Code: Public Sub linkOdbcTable(DataSource As String, UID As String, PWD As String, dbName As String, ParamArray Tables()) Dim dbs As Database Dim tbl As Variant Dim rst As DAO.Recordset Dim linked As Boolean Dim ConnectionString As String
I use a batch file to distribute the front end of a database application. Currently, everytime the user clicks the shortcut on her desktop, the batch file executes and copies the front end from a network location to user's local machine. The FE is updated like every couple of days. The users run the database more frequently.
I would like to modify the batch file so that it checks some attribute of the FE file to decide whether it needs to be updated. I can't rely on file size, since the FE includes temporary tables. I essentially need something like the "tag" property of form controls, only for files. It would be ideal if it was me who sets this property, like "version number". Except it has read without opening the file itself.
How do I make my database so only the creator (myself) can edit the tables, forms etc and other users see an interface starting with the switchboard, which they can't use any database tools except what the forms allow them to do?
I am working on a section of code that when a user clicks a button it looks at a table called TBLVersion and increments the version number. The version number format is 1.0.1 what I need the code to do is increment the last digit by one for example to "1.0.2". I got the flowing code to work in excel but could not figure out how to translate it to access.
I use the following xml to create a ribbon for Sort and Filter
Code:
<customUI xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/01/customui"> <ribbon startFromScratch="true"> <tabs> <tab idMso="TabCreate" visible="false" /> <tab id="dbSearchtab" label="Sort and Filter" visible="true"> <group id="SearchScreenSort" label="Sort and Filter">
[code]....
The first problem is that this ribbon appears in forms where it is not included.The second problem is that in addition to the "File and Filter" tab, there appears a "File" tab Whe you click on it is goes backstage allowing you to Print and Exit.
moving my database from 2003 to 2010 and I'm wanting to use custom tool bars that I created in 2003 to run searches Doing this I hide the ribbon, including the 'File' tab is this possible?
