Modules & VBA :: Deleting Record And Then Delete Listed File?
Jan 7, 2015
What is the correct syntax that would delete a file when the record is deleted. The file's path is listed in a record field, MailLocation. Every time I try this code, I receive an error!
I've tried the below, and number of iterations, including calling the killfile differently (me![MailLocation], me.MailLocation).
Code:
Private Sub Form_AfterDelConfirm(Status As Integer)
Dim KillFile As String
KillFile = me!MailLocation
Kill KillFile
End Sub
I have a button that adds pictures/files to a network location. So people from all over the company can do this and all pictures/files are stored in one location.
I also have a delete button, but a waning pops up and the file remains on the network.
PHP Code:
Run-time error '424': object required
Code: My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteFile (Path)
where Path is a string, files location on network.
So I currently have a module which automatically backs up my database to a separate file everyday on open of my database.
If is it possible to create a function which will allow me to delete these backups after a certain amount of days (eg 30 days). They all have different file names based on the time that the backup was created but have the same extension of "*.accdb". I ask because it stores EVERY backup so the storage space required will soon build up unless manually deleting the files which is not what my client will want,
I have tried using the "Kill(pathname)" function but have had no luck yet!
If possible, I would like this to be done automatically either on open or on close of my database.
Inside you can find one form with listbox (with multi selecting ability).
I use this code :
Dim strSQL As String Dim i As Variant With Me.se1 For Each i In .ItemsSelected SQL = "DELETE '*' FROM [t1] WHERE [id] = " & .ItemData(i) & " ;" CurrentDb.Execute (SQL) Next End With Me.se1.Requery
Result is this one : 1) If I delete only one item in list, it is ok. I can do it again and again and it is working fine.
BUT
2) If I delete more items in list at once, it is ok - but if I will try to do it again then there is an error because .ItemData(i) value is Null.
I have a form set to the table Client Information with a subform set to the table Event Information. Client Information has a one to many relationship to Event Information.
There is a button that deletes the current record in Client Information--also deleting the related records in Event Information--then closes the form. The code works fine but a blank record in Event Information is apparently being created before the form closes.
Here's the VBA that I'm using:
Private Sub CmdDelReturn_Click() Dim CmdDelReturnMsg As String CmdDelReturnMsg = MsgBox("Delete event & client then return to front?", vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton1, "Delete and Return?")
[Code] ....
It's not a big deal because the button won't be used often and I can manually go into the table to delete the blank record. But if there's a simple solution to prevent this that would be nice.
How do I delete only one record in a table that has duplicate records using SQL?
Code: DELETE tblTemp.Fruit, tblTemp.[Country of Origin], tblTemp.Qty, tblTemp.Date, tblTemp.Currency FROM tblTemp WHERE (((tblTemp.Fruit)='Fruit') AND ((tblTemp.[Country of Origin])='Country of Origin') AND ((tblTemp.Qty)='Qty') AND ((tblTemp.Date)='Date') AND ((tblTemp.Currency)='Currency'));
I am trying to delete a record from a table and when I pass the variable as a text value it works but when I pass as a number I am getting a mismatch error.
I have to use it as a number as I am doing other update code in my database and it is a number.
Code: DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE * FROM TblIssueData Where tblIssueData.SerNum = ' & Me.txtserNum & ';"
When I am using TblIssueData SerNum as a text variable in table it works but when I specify SerNum as a number in the table it gives me data mismatch error. I have to leave it as a number for other VBA code in my database. I believe it is just a syntax error but not sure where to go with it.
I have a Microsoft Access database with SQL Server backend with 10000 records in my table, I have a autonumber field and in my database the purpose of the autonumber field is just to keep the record sequence (not to treat as a unique identifier) and I don't want to use a number field to manually enter the sequence. Whenever the record is deleted or the user won't save the record, it put gaps in the record sequence, Is there any way to refresh the autonumbers automatically "After delete confirm" event or "After Insert/update" even.
I would like to use a query to show only the records where "SRG" is not listed and where there is another group. So in the example data above, I would like the only record to show in the query to be the last record because it's the only one where SRG is not listed along with another group.
The logic behind this is when a problem is initiated and a group assigned, we do some things and document the results. So I am only interested in the records where we have not documented our results too.
Does anyone know how I can do this with a query?
Thanks, Jim
I want the query to only show the data where there is a user group
When we browse through records in a subform we store the records in the database.When we want to delete a records for example the third record from the five records always the first records will be deleted. How can we delete the records where the cursor is at? When we are at the third record and press the delete button the third record from the list in the subform should be deleted.
Code:
Option Compare Database Dim FocusBln As Boolean Private Sub Identificeer() Me.[Datum Aangemaakt].Visible = True Me.[Datum Aangemaakt].SetFocus If Me.[Datum Aangemaakt].Text = "" Then
I have a folder that gets updated with a few new xml files every day. I need to import the data in these files into a table. The names of the files to import is in a field (FName) in a table (tblFiles).
I am trying to pass the results of what is selected in a list box to sql through an ado statement, when i select one result i can pass the value with no issue, when i select multiple item i get a run time error incorrect syntax near ';' i am guessing it is passing the data as a csv to sql and the where statement does not like that as criteria but i am not sure how to handle that either in vba or on the sql side.here is my vba code from access
Private Sub Command49_Click() Dim cn As ADODB.Connection Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset Dim strItems As String Dim intItem As Integer For intItem = 0 To List45.ListCount - 1 If List45.Selected(intItem) Then strItems = strItems & List45.Column(0, intItem) & ";" End If
I have no experience with Access Modules which I think I need to find all the queries that reference a field, in this example: LAWSON_LHSEMPDEMO.R_STATUS
I would like for the module to list all the queries for me that reference this table and field of "LAWSON_LHSEMPDEMO.R_STATUS"
I have a form that opens up and fills in all of the Orders Table when it opens.
I then have a subform that is used to fill in the order details.
Currently if they open the form and then close it, it creates a record in the order table. I want to be able to delete this record if no information has been filled into the subform?
I have a columnar form with a sub-form based on an updatable query. I've created a delete button on the master form with the intention that if the user hits the delete button, it will delete the current record (like its supposed to, right?).
But what is happening is when the delete button is hit, it is asking twice for deletion confirmation and deleting the current record AND the next record. Even if I hit "Cancel" to stop the deletion, it still deletes the current and next records.
Each record has a primary unique ID that is included on the form (but not tab stopped - if that makes any difference), but it doesn't seem to be using that as the basis for deleting.
I've tried two different codes for this:
Private Sub Command110_Click() On Error GoTo Err_Command110_Click DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdDeleteRecord Exit_Command110_Click:
I'd like to override the default behaviour for deleting records in a form.Specifically, I want to build my own custom delete procedure so that when the user presses the Del button, my code fires to complete the deletion of the selected record(s). In order to do that, I'd set Allow Deletions = No for that form. I'd also want to code the KeyDown event for the Del key so that if record(s) are selected, my custom delete code fires, else the default behavior for the Del key happens.I'm primarily interested in how I might code the KeyDown event.
I have a form based on Table A. When a yes/no tick is clicked in the form, I want to delete a record from Table B. The tables are joined by ID numbers.
I am building a db for reservations for my limo company. I want to have a cmd button that verifies the user to make sure she wants to delete a run. This is what I have so far:
Private Sub cmdDeleteRun_Click() Dim Response Response = msgbox("Are you sure you want to delete this run?", vbYesNoCancel + vbCritical, "Really delete run?") If Response = vbYes Then
End Sub
I don't know what I am missing for the cmd to actually delete it.
I'm using Access 2010. I have a form that has a combo box. The combo box lists all employee names and one has to be selected. I've been adding employees over time as new employees come. This DB is 3 years old so there are many employees showing in the combo box selection that are no longer here. I'd like to only have the current employees visible but I do not want to just delete them from the Table because then the historic data wouldn't be complete. How can I only show the current employees in the combo box and maintain the data in the table?
For school I have to make a application in access how to delete a selected record in the table in a subform by using a button. The subform is in the main form and the button is also in the main form
If there a way i can remove duplicates from an email list? I pull these emails from a recordset. But i email may appear more than once and it doesn't look good e.g
I'd like to remove the duplicated email, if its possible. Code below.
Code: Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("select * from query") With objMailItem If rs.RecordCount > 0 Then rs.MoveFirst Do If Not IsNull(rs![email]) Then vRecipientList = vRecipientList & rs![email] & ";" rs.MoveNext Else rs.MoveNext End If Loop Until rs.EOF .To = vRecipientList
I have created a form and need to be able to delete employees from a table. I built a command button using the wizard and this is the current vb code-
Code: Private Sub cmdDeleteEmployee_Click() On Error GoTo Err_cmdDeleteEmployee_Click
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSelectRecord DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdDeleteRecord Exit_cmdDeleteEmployee_Click: Exit Sub Err_cmdDeleteEmployee_Click: MsgBox Err.Description Resume Exit_cmdDeleteEmployee_Click End Sub
But when I click on the button I get a message saying it would create duplicate data in the table.
1. Persons (list of persons) 2. Job history (list of jobs)
each person have their own job history. all these jobs are stored in the job history table. when i delete a person i would like the job history for this person deleted as well. each job stored in the job table have a field with person name, so that it is linked to this person.
how can i do this? vba or simple properties options?
