Modules & VBA :: Define Current Sub Folder Within Code?
Oct 9, 2014
I am trying to define a path to identify a current folder - I'll try and explain the way the following code works first (and it does work 100%)
The following code identifies folders and sub-folder structures and imports them (their structures and folder paths and filenames) into a DB
It also simultaneously retrieve's any xml docs within those respective folders and imports the XML data into the same database ........ and then moves those folders into a "processing folder" location.
Cool yes, but I can only import the XML doc's at the moment, by hard coding the path (like this):-
path = "C:UsersjeremybDesktopsnapmadXYZ123XYZFILES 0061940"
The code is highlighted as above - in the FULL code below:
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Code Begins:-
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
[Code]....

I'm trying to automate a process of selecting a set of file/s and move them in a folder. When I click on a button, it should open a current folder that is setup in the code.
Lets say that I have a folder C:documents est, and very time I click on the button, it should open the dialog box with that path so I can select the files from another folder, drag them there and they will be saved in that folder.
This will form part of wider automation that will send an email stating that those file/s where placed in that folder.
I have in the same form where the button is placed, 3 check boxes that needs to be passed to the email as well that one or all the files where placed in the folder.

I have created an union query to pull together the same data from 2 ODBC tables (seperate countries).As there is a clash in the client number I have added a "N" prefix to differentiate NZ from Australia, as below:
The problem I now have is that I get type mismatch when linking to another table. How could I change the SQL below to dictate the field format to number (providing it will accept the "N" prefix) or all to text?
SELECT dbo_ClientMaster.ClientNumber, dbo_ClientMaster.Name, dbo_ClientMaster.AddressLine1, dbo_ClientMaster.AddressLine2, dbo_ClientMaster.AddressLine3, dbo_ClientMaster.AddressLine4, dbo_ClientMaster.TradeCode, dbo_ClientMaster.ReviewLimit, dbo_ClientMaster.ClientStartDate, dbo_ClientMaster.TypeOfTrade, dbo_ClientMaster.NextReviewDate, dbo_ClientMaster.LastReviewDate, dbo_ClientMaster.TerminationDate, dbo_ClientMaster.TerminationReason, dbo_ClientMaster.BankSortCode, dbo_ClientMaster.BankAccountNumber

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've searched the forums for days and I can't find exactly what I need to know, even though this is a very common topic, so if it's already been answered, I apologize.
My problem is simple. I have a database that tracks clients for me. I have a front end and back end in the same folder. Under normal circumstances, the static links that Access uses are fine. I just link from the front end to the back end and all is well.
But some other users of the database will need to track multiple people's clients. So instead of putting the database in c:database, I may need to have a copy in c:database, c:database2, c:database3, etc.
So what I need is a (hopefully) simple way to get Access to look for the backend in the current directory, no matter what that directory might be. It may be on a network drive, or the c: drive, or any of a dozen various subdirectories. And the users who will be using the database may be very computer illiterate, so I don't want to have any user intervention required.
And so that I'm not any more confused than I already am by any code you might offer up, the name of the database frontend is tracking.mdb and the backend is tracking_be.mdb
Any ideas? Thanks in advance. You'll make my week if you can figure this out with me.

I have one color scheme I want to use all through the database I am developing. The next examples have just one color defined, to make it simpler (a dark blue, that I would call B1)
Code:
private sub setlabel()
Dim B1
B1 = RGB (0,52,105)
me.label1.forecolor = B1
end sub
... however this means I have to repeat the color definition every sub, so I thought would be neater to define a function to set my color codes (I have 20 colors).
Code:
Function SetColor()
Dim B1
B1 = RGB (0,52,105)
End function
My objective, is when I'm working in forms, Iwould (ideally) call this function "setcolor" and just write my code for the blue. I tried the examples below:
Code:
Private sub setlabel()
SetColor()
me.label1.forecolor = B1
end sub
[code]...
Again, this is probably some definition of arguments or dimensions that I am not aware oh. How to predefine the colors in a function to give them a "short" code which I can call in any sub in the database?

I have a multi-user database. I would like based on the logged-in user, some buttons and controls in different forms be disabled and the others be enabled.
There is a login form that gets the username; I made also a function to define authorities for users in it.
My plan is that when user enters to the database, on load of the main menu the function calls and disables the defined controls in different forms. I tried to use this kind of codes:
Function User_1()
[Forms]![frmMainMenu].[cmdUpdateDatabase].Enabled = False
[Forms]![frmChooseReports]![cmdOrdersFollowUpReports].Enabled = False
End Function
Function User_2()
[Forms]![frmMainMenu].[cmdChooseCharts].Enabled = False
End Function
But this code only works for the forms that are opened at the moment and if one of them is closed the system gives Error.

I have a table which is formatted as shown:
ID, My_Var, My_Value, Notes
This table holds variables that I want to declare to use throughout my application. I have been told in another thread that tempVars are the best way to do this.
I have written the following code, which works on a limited basis:
Private Sub btnSetVAr_click()
TempVars.Add "udvVar", Me!My_value.Value
End Sub
This defines a single variable on each button press, fine to work out how the code works, but not much use. What I really need to do is when the initial menu screen loads to call a routine to assign all the variables stored in the table using a loop to do this. The idea is to make all variables values easy to edit or add to, rather than have to edit code each time we need to change them.
The variables table holds 14 records so far, such as:
My_Var, My_Value
EuroRate, 0.885
ConDisc, 0.9
MollDisc, 0.8
As well as holding numbers, they hold strings and date values.
So, on loading the initial form, use an event to assign the variables from the table using the tempVar name as the value held in "My_Var" and it's value as held in "My_Value"

I would like to declare Global or Public variables from a table so they can be added to or edited easily. I had the following function to do this with Alpha Five but at the moment my lack of knowledge of Access VBA is making this task difficult.
Here is the function that I use in Alpha:
FUNCTION udVars AS A (udTabName AS C )
dim codeStr as c
t=table.open_session(udTabName,file_ro_shared)
t.fetch_first()
while .not. t.fetch_eof()
[Code] ....
It opens a table reads in the records and then makes them into a string the string would look something like this:
"Public EuroRate as Single = 0.885"
I would then need to use this string to declare the variables but not sure what command to use - I was looking at the Eval function last night but couldn't get this to work...
The table would hold strings for all the above so you would have:
My_Var (variable name)
My_Typ (type of variable e.g. Single)
My_Val (value e.g. 0.885)
The table would hold as many variables as required, some would be dates, some paths for making directories and some would be numbers.

Is it possible (and how...) to declare a module-specific form variable (or any variable for that matter) at the top of said module, so it doesn't need to be set at the start of each subsequent procedure?
I have a module of code specific to one form with a number of procedures, each one of which requires me to Dim / Set the form variable. It would be much neater if I could do it once at the start.
Code:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Public Sub Populate(lngParameter As Long)Dim frm As Form
[Code] ......

I need to find the respective numbers for a textstring when for
abcdefghijkl stand the numbers
79 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 91 92
The textstring to "decode" is for example is 'adgjk'
The result (79 83 86 89 91) should be added into a table by Looping.
rs.Addnew
rs("Letter")= myarray??
rs("corNumber")= myarray?
rs.update
rs.movenext
Something like this.
But I cannot define and Setup the Array, which should be the best way for doing this.
The Array does not change its Content nor its Dimension.
Both, letters and numbers are strings.

I'm trying to write a simple little database. At one point on a form, I'm trying to merge all the pdf files in a particular folder. (I'm using the pdftke.exe program and there will be multiple pdf files)
It all works perfectly if I call it as below, with the actual paths already hard coded. It combines all the pdf files and renames it to the "merged filename.pdf" correctly
Dim stAppName1 As String
stAppName1 = "C:a folder namepdftk.exe C:another folder nameprints*.pdf cat output C:folder where merged file will bemerged filename.pdf"
Call Shell(stAppName1, 1)
However, I'm trying to have it work with the middle portion (the folder where all the pdf files are) being created on the fly so to speak.
The middle portion/path I have stored from a previous form and it's stored in a table.
So I'm trying the below, but doesn't seem to work.
Dim stAppName1 As String
Dim combine_files As String
combine_files = (this pulls a path from a stored field on the open form) + "" + CStr("*.pdf")
stAppName1 = "C:a folder namepdftk.exe (combine_files) cat output C:folder where merged file will bemerged filename.pdf"
Call Shell(stAppName1, 1)
With the code above, it doesn't seem to do anything.

I believe this is most recurring scenario for all. Any simple way like:
Code:
For each file in folder.files
Msgbox File.Name
Next File
For your information the above code doesn't work

I added to my database a button to ouput the data to PDF. It works as it should. We do print out the letters in paper and put a copy in the folder from the client (connected with the ID nr). From time to time we need to attach a PDF document to the letter and combine it. My question is now if it is possible to have some code to the button that when it finish the output to PDF it will combine all the PDF files that are in the folder and put it in a second folder. After that, I need to put the combined PDF in another folder.
