Modules & VBA :: Closing Already Open Excel File From Access
May 25, 2015
I want to delete an excel file from within access vba. Problem is that if the file is open, it obviously cannot be deleted. so I need to check to see if that specific excel workbook is open and if it is, I want to close it before I can delete it.
All of the answers here involve creating an excel object and opening it before closing it. If I do that all that happens is a second instance of the workbook opens then closes leaving the originally open workbook still open.
Sub xx()
Dim XLapp As New Excel.Application
Dim ObjXL As Excel.Workbook
Set ObjXL = XLapp.Workbooks.Open("C:dropboxexcelimport.xlsx ")
ObjXL.Application.Visible = True
[Code] .....
The above code demonstrates my problem, if the import.xlsx file is already open then the code just opens another instance of this workbook and then closes it again leaving the original workbook open and as such cannot be deleted.
I need to open an Excel file that has been stored in the Access Database using the insert Object functionality of MS Access manually.
What i am aware of is that i cant just read the field containing the Excel File into a Byte Array and pass it to the Excel object in C#,as the file is wrapped in the OLE Wrapper used by Access while inserting the file in database.
I have tried locating the Header of Excel file from the byte array and read the file from there on but it is not working.
while (true) { if (0xE11AB1A1E011CFD0 == BitConverter.ToUInt64(byStream, i)) break; i++; } output.Write(byStream, i, byStream.Length - i-1);
byStream is a byte array into which i have read the Excel file from Database. I am locating the Excel file header in the byte stream and am writing the byte array to a file from that location.But on opening the written file it dosent work. Similar approach had worked in case of Images but now in this case.
Can some one please tell me as to how i can open the Excel File. Can I use Interop.Access object to achieve the goal??
I want to open different .doc files by a button from access.
I want that the vba code checks where the current access database is located. In which folder the the current access database is.
In this file folder i have a folder called documents.
In this folder i have the .doc files.
Right now i have the following code.
Public Function getPath(ByVal iPath As String) Dim fso As Object Dim drive As String Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") drive = fso.GetDriveName(CurrentDb.Name)
[Code] .....
The access database is in the folder Z:BUS MMM CGrimmMasterarbeitDatenbank
From access I'm calling a code in excel. My code in excel pops up a browser that allows the user to select what files they'd like to import. For various reasons I have to import data through excel, not directly to Access which is why the browser appears in excel instead of access. Essentially the user will select a word file which is imported into access through excel.
I'd like this browser to appear in access instead of excel though. If I move my browser from excel to access is there any way to have my code in excel reference the file selected in access? Or is there some way for this browser to appear without the user having to select the excel icon in the task bar? I essentially want the user to only see and interact with access, but because my browser is in excel this isn't possible right now.
I have a workbook which is already opened and I want to close it. the code that i have is (see below) is not working.
Code:
Function CloseExcel(sExcelFile As String) As Integer Dim XLapp As New Excel.Application Dim ObjXL As Excel.Workbook On Error GoTo ErrorTrap Set ObjXL = XLapp.Workbooks.Open(sExcelFile)
I am trying to program a button on my ms access form to open up an excel file.. So far the simplest code ive found online was from URL....
<code>
Private Sub Command57_Click() Dim xlTmp As Excel.Application Set xlTmp = New Excel.Application xlTmp.Workbooks.Open "C:Excel1.xls" xlTmp.Visible = True
[code]...
However the code doesn't work, any way to open a file from within access?
All I need to do is copy an excel file from a location (while coping the file, the location of the source file remains same all the time)and paste that excel file where ever I want (Browser Option) from an Access VBA.
Some vba code which is able to get the last updated or last modified value of an excel file stored in a folder in a shared drive and update a field on a form in ms access.
I have created an action log database that sends an email when a new action is entered. I would like to launch the database using a hyperlink in the email, but can't seem to get it to work. All users have a copy of the front end on their desktop, so whatever I add to the email needs to launch the front end for any user signed on to their own desktop.
This is what I have and it sends a hyperlink but I click it, I get an error saying it can't find the file. I don't know how to word the path name for any user?
With obMsg .subject = "New action request for " & team .To = people
I would like to open an Excel workbook from MS Access and clear cell contents, or just delete some records in a specific worksheet.
If you open the test workbook, cell contents in RAW need to be deleted by calling from Access.
I have produced some code but it's partially working.
Code: Sub TestFileOpened() ' Test to see if the file is open. If IsFileOpen("test.xls") Then ' Display a message stating the file in use. MsgBox "File already in use!"
[Code] ....
If you put this in a standard module in access, the function works, but the part that doesn't work is where it says "activesheet". It somehow tries to recognize it as a variable, but it's not going to be a variable.
I've vba in Report onformat the vba code does some data copying to External Excel file (premade by vba).Now on first run, i got success.But on opening the excel file, it showed blank space + Error"File already opened"
No White Spreadsheet is shown with data to see into file, i created new excel file in windows, and inserted the vba created/exported file as an Obj.Now Obj is showing correct and full data with spreadsheet as normal view.
I have an access program that is stored on a SharePoint site. I want to be able to export report to the computer even if I just open the access program as read only. Here's my code:
Code:
Private Sub btnExport_Click() On Error GoTo btnExport_Click_Err Dim db As DAO.Database Dim strSQL As String Dim qdfTemp As DAO.QueryDef Dim qryFilter As DAO.QueryDef
I am opening an excel file from access and changing the formatting from "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm" to number with 15 decimal places.Then I am linking the file to the database and subsequently doing a lookup on the date time on the access form against this table.The excel file when formatted from vba in access shows the wrong number
datetime = 03/05/2013 11:26 database number = 41397.4763888889 Excel file number = 41398.4763888889 (which would equal 04/05/13 11:26)
now if I do it manually then I get 41397.4763888889 or if the macro is in excel I still get 41397.4763888889.Also I have tested the code with manually editing the excel file and this works fine.
Code: Private Sub Command288_Click() Dim s As String Dim t As Integer Dim ws As Worksheet s = LaunchCD(Me) MsgBox (s)
[code]....
also this brings up a form and then I select the field required for the lookup and with the button is pressed the rest of the code runs as follows.
Code: Private Sub LoadData_Click() Dim w As String w = Forms![frmList1]![Combo0] w = "[" & w & "]" Dim dtA As String
We have an access database which has a form that has a list box that details particular records. See attach "list box".
What I would like to do is double click on the record and this would look in a powerpoint folder (see attach "path") and open the presentation if there is a match to the value in Listbox Column 5 i.e. Tool Number.
I can get it to open the presentation if I include the tool number in the path but I cannot seem to be able to get it to compare the values and only open if there is a match.
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.
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.
I have a form which i use for a user to select an excel file they want to import and then click a cmd button to import the file into a table which works fine, however i want to append a date into a date field from an unbound txtbx before the file is imported so it will look something like;
I am trying to open a workbook with a command button on a form however the path to the file is giving me a fit. The path for the file location contains spaces and I am going blind trying to figure out how to rectify the path. Heres the line. I am sure someone here will see this problem quick! Thanks.
Private Sub Command0_Click() On Error GoTo Err_Command0_Click
I recently upgraded a DB from 2003 to 2013 and ran into the following problem.
I have a button that opens a file dialog box and allows the user to upload a file to a predetermined location (and store the address as a hyperlink). I borrowed this code from someone else on here and modified it slightly.
In any case, the button still works, but now when it opens it doesn't have an option for "All files" under file types. So I can upload MS Office files, text files, etc., but not PDF files which are by far the most common types my users upload.
Here's my code and a screenshot is attached.
Private Sub Command35_Click() Dim dd As Integer Dim fileDump As FileDialog Set fileDump = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen) dd = fileDump.Show
i have this small code to import excel data into mdb file: DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, _ "datapub", "D:datapubcolumnar.xls", True, "datapubcolumnar!"
But I want to improve by call a dialog box for user to choose excel file. Could anyone can write this code for me. Thanks in advance.
Question: Is it possible, using VBA, to determine the actual Excel file type without opening the file?
I receive data files from other departments. Seems like every time someone changes their download structure, I end up with file types that do not match the download extension (example: xlm file with a xls extension). The files can't even be opened because of this. I think I can fix it if I could figure out how to determine what the file type really is.
halloo everybody Here is my code to check an excel sheet wether it is open or not. It is working good in the following situations.
1.if the excel file is not yet opened. then it is opening and bringing a value from some cell of the sheet1. 2.If the file is already opened and not yet closed. it is not opening again it is understanding that the file is already openrd and bringing the cell value. 3.It is working when it is closed by the user and again clicked the button to open. It is opening and bringing the value. 4.NOW the problem starts. IT IS NOT WORKING , If I click the button again to open. It is opening another copy of the same file. I did't understand why is it working perfectly? before I close the file and not working if I close the File.
please kindly check my code and respond to me . here is my code but it is not working when the file is already opened.

I have a button in the form of the current access file. What I want to do is when the user click on the button, triggered the vba to backup current access file. But since the file is currently open, is this possible? If yes, may I know how to do it with vba?
I have tried two methods but failed: 1) Use copytofile method, but I get permission denied due to file open; 2) Use dbengine.compactdatabase method, but it also has problem if the file is open.
I am opening and closing a series of Excel 2000 Workbooks using Access 2000 VBA and want this sequence to be able to complete without any human intervention.
However, there are 2 instances when this stops and waits for a human option to be selected:
1. When the spreadsheet is password protected 2. When the spreadsheet has automatic links I get the message:
"The Workbook you opened contains automatic links to information in another workbook. Do you want to update this workbook with changes made to the other workbook?"
How can I code it so that in situation 1 it skips this file and in situation 2 it automatically defaults to do not update?
I have a query that opens a listbox in a form. In the listbox I want to add a doubleclick event that opens a pdf document with the selected record in it. The record is in column 1 of the listbox.
I can't use the FollowHyperlink method of the colecction application due the record in the column is a Key. I am not sure if FollowHyperlink method can be used in a listbox
I have been checking codes in the web and I found this:
Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "ShellExecuteA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lpOperation As String, ByVal lpFile As String, ByVal lpParameters As String, ByVal lpDirectory As String, ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long ShellExecute Me.hwnd, "open", "D:SebDesktopGA-BDpdf est.pdf, "", "", 4"
However, I don't know how to organize the code in a logic way in Sub End Sub. Neither I don't know if the code is for the doubleclic event in the list box or a Module. If is for a module I don't know how to write the code in it.
