Modules & VBA :: Dir Function Empty For Certain Drives
Sep 17, 2014
I have a module for importing several excel files from a folder in Access. The user is prompted to select the folder which contains the Excel files.The issue:The code works fine if I select a folder from my company network drive (strFile variable returns with correct file name).The code does not work if I copy and paste the same folder to my desktop and select this location (strFile variable returns empty)
Code:
Option Compare Database
Private Sub btn_ImportData_Click()
Dim blnHasFieldNames As Boolean, blnEXCEL As Boolean, blnReadOnly As Boolean
Dim intWorkbookCounter As Integer
Dim lngCount As Long
Dim objExcel As Object, objWorkbook As Object
Dim colWorksheets As Collection
I need to make sure that all users on the network can access a specific network drive folder.
Most users don't have a problem but some users have the network drive mapped differently so when running the feature required their system can't find the file at that specified location.
I have the location of the files hard wired into the VBA code.
E.g. Z:INVDATACOMPANIESCompanyAASSETS Pty LtdPrecedents 2015STAGE 3A - COLLS-DEMS
The location is outside of the project address.
I need to be able to make sure the address of the folder is the same for all users.
So I have a table containing 2 fields containing the first name and last name of a customer. I do need to add these names in the same table into a new field called Name. Can someone help me out?
I'm trying to store all the OrderNumber + Item combinations in 2 arrays and then because the OrderNumber column really contains 2 values I'm interested in, I split it up and store that column's values in 2 arrays. So in total, I have 3 arrays. An array for Item, an array for Order, and an array for RepId (which is the one that I split up from the OrderNumber column).
Anyways, when I print the RepId array with the ' MsgBox PostValCol1(x) ' It prints 4 values like it's supposed to. But when I tested it again by looping through the values and just doing a MsgBox, It goes for a long time and that's because it has a lot of empty values in that array. How to get rid of those empty values/not store them in the first place?
Code:
Set rop = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Select OrderNumber, ItemNumber From dbo_EntryStructure Where (ProductNumber = '" & txtPartNumber & "') AND (ActionCode = 'I')")
While rop.EOF = False ReDim Preserve ArrRepOrder(j) ReDim Preserve ArrItem(j)
How do i use DMax() function instead of Autonumber, since the table is empty and it wont know what to do with Dmax() + 1 for next record?
E.g I have a new table Customer_details which contains
customerID customerName Age
now if i enter data through forms, i want the CustomerID to be incremental for each new record, so i can use Dmax() function. But since the table is empty how can i tell the form, through VBA that if it is null store 1 else store Dmax("CustomerID", "Customer_Details") + 1
The overall goal is to hide a whole line of a report using "canshrink" on a series of boxes, some of which are numbers and some that aren't. Some will be blank when the data is loaded into the form and I want these to make the rest of the form adjust.
Code: Private Sub Form_Load() If Me.Label33.Value = "<1" Then Me.Label34.Caption = "Nothing." End If End Sub
I have a module that creates records into a contacts table in my access database. When there is no data in the field from outlook, the data is populated as an empty string "" instead of a null value, creating problems with subsequent queries and processes. I'd like to create the data as a null value but the module keeps failing with "object is required" on the statement
It doesn't seem to like System.DBNull.Value or DBNull.Value, and when I assign the vbNullString constant instead, it gets set to "" again and not null.
Our quotation tool, which is built in access 2003, has a memo field, which is extracted in a .txt file, to be uploaded by another system.
When the user starts the memo field with a blank line, by hitting the enter key, the upload file writes the memo field as a new line, separating it from the line indicator and thus giving errors.
My question would be : How would I determine in VBA, whether the first line of the memo field is blank.
I'm an accountant and I'd like to build my own personal financial database in Access. One thing I like about MS Money is the 'Forecast Cashflow' feature, which is based on a schedule of recurring transactions, amounts, next due date, and frequency. I want to replicate this.
So, I created a dummy database for the sake of learning the code behind this process. I've got 2 tables (but no microphone.
1) tbl_InitialPoint (which is my schedule of recurring transactions, amounts, frequency (in days)) 2) tbl_Register (where I want forecasted transactions to wind up)
I've got 2 saved queries:
1) qry_MaxDate (looks for any transaction @ 'tbl_InitialPoint' and finds the last date of that transaction in 'tbl_Register' SELECT MAX(tbl_Register.PostDate) AS LastDate, tbl_InitialPoint.Description FROM tbl_InitialPoint INNER JOIN tbl_Register ON tbl_InitialPoint.Description = tbl_Register.Description GROUP BY tbl_InitialPoint.Description;
2) qry_InsertTransactions (populates 'tbl_Register') INSERT INTO tbl_Register ( PostDate, Description, Amount ) SELECT qry_MaxDate.LastDate + tbl_InitialPoint.Frequency AS DateSeries, tbl_InitialPoint.Description, tbl_InitialPoint.Amount FROM tbl_InitialPoint INNER JOIN qry_MaxDate ON tbl_InitialPoint.Description = qry_MaxDate.Description WHERE qry_MaxDate.LastDate + tbl_InitialPoint.Frequency <= [Forms]![HomePage]![DateHorizon];
And I've got a form called 'HomePage' that has
1) A textbox where I input a date horizon (this is where I want the eventual 'Forecast Cashflow' to stop 2) A button to start the process
It seems to me that qry_InsertTransactions needs to be run over and over (looped) until the query is empty. And it seems to me that this can only be done via VBA (not sure if I could structure my SQL to avoid VBA in this case, but I need/want to learn the vba to accomplish this).
I'm having trouble getting VBA to run qry_InsertTransactions a single time. I'm pretty sure if I could get the thing to run once I could get it to run through a loop. So, here's what I came up with.
Public Sub InsertTransactionsBttn_Click() Dim db As Database Dim qdfNew As QueryDef Dim qdfInsertTransactions As QueryDef Set db = CurrentDb()
I need to import 300+ individual .txt files into a MS Access DB table (named "tbl_input"). Each of the the .txt files have a naming convention similar to this:
Pink_Floyd_YYYYMMDD.txt
Because this initial import is so large and I would like to avoid doing it manually, I need to be able to:
import each of these files into a single table delimit the text in each based on the "|" symbol add the filename into an empty field
I'm working on a report. I have a text box that contains directory path for a picture which is showed in a image box on my report which works great. I have now created a label called "nopiclb" that has "no Pic "entered in it but I want to set the label to not visible if path1 has a file path in it but visible if path1 is empty
I put the code below in onformat event in the detail section, but is not working
Code: Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer) If IsNull(Me.path1) = True Or Me.path1 = "" Then Me.Nopiclb.Visible = True Else Me.Nopiclb.Visible = False End If End Sub
I'm trying to make a form that shows what the last record was next to the empty space where you enter a new record.
This is so the user knows that what they are entering is roughly in line with what has come before.
So for example if I was recording temperature every May, I would like a form that has a field called temperature and next to that field I would like to see last year's temperature.
I am working on MS Access program where i import data from Excel and i would like to generate a report in MS Access where the fields are empty. Like the MS Access generate a table of errors when we import data and shows information like field name and row number along with Type Conversion label. Can i generate similar table from an MS Access table where fields are null.
I have a database which needs to be updated everyday. So I decided to make a subroutine to perform the update steps just by clicking on a button.
The problem is that I can run all the steps except one! At the end of the steps, there is a function/module that must be run to calculate and complete the job.
How I can run a function in a vba macro. This is my code:
Private Sub cmdUpdateDatabase_Click() DoCmd.SetWarnings False DoCmd.OpenQuery "qry1AddNewStockSymbols" DoCmd.OpenQuery "qry2AddDailyPrice" DoCmd.OpenQuery "qry3UpdateStockDailyPrice" DoCmd.OpenQuery "qry4AddOverallStockValue" DoCmd.OpenQuery "qry5AllSymbolsActiveDaysTractions" DoCmd.OpenQuery "qry6SortToCalculateDailyRemainedStock" DoCmd.SetWarnings True End Sub
