Modules & VBA :: Email Hyperlink / Attachment To Open Access File?
May 15, 2015
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 am trying to run a script to look for the latest file in the path: "C:UsersmeDesktopReports and grab the latest file and email it to recipient? Right now my script out put the .txt to a the folder but can figure out how to send that file as attachment?
- I have emails with excel attachments coming in multiple times a day to outlook.
- I want to click a button in Access and automatically import the last excel attachment in my email in box based on the timestamp of when it came in (thus getting the last one).
I found a code that will go trough an emailbox and export all emails to a table in access. This part is working OK (except the received date). I also wante to show in the table if the email contains an attachment, but that part is not working at all. The project actually is meant to store the emails on a shared drive and attachments and have the emails in Access so I can see them all and recall the one needed.
Code: Private Sub Command14_Click() Dim TempRst As DAO.Recordset Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
A have a table with many records and each record has a hyperlink to a document. Based on some criteria i want to attach the hyperlink file to an email. Don't want to have to do this manually. Is there anyway i can write code to go and get the hyperlink file and then attach the physical file into the email? This could result in 1 file being attached, 13 files being attached, 0 files etc.
I have a form, and on that form I have a textbox called RefDwgNo (user not allowed to make changes...just for viewing). Displayed in this textbox is the name of a file (without the .pdf extension). I changed the textbox to 'is hyperlink' and added to OnClick- this code:
Private Sub RefDwgNo_Click() FollowHyperlink "***private***engineering_data***Private***Des ignFitoutLabel Plate\_LATEST REV" End Sub
The user needs to actually open the .pdf file, not the folder its located in. How do I add the file name from this textbox to the code above?
I want to do it bring up a form from which the user can send an email, and on the form is an unbound text box [Text1] in which the user can paste the attachment path.
Code: Dim olApp As New Outlook.Application Dim mItem As Outlook.MailItem ' An Outlook Mail item Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") Set mItem = olApp.CreateItem(olMailItem) ' Add the To/Subject/Body to the message and display the message
[Code] ....
So, when I paste the file location into Text box [Text1] I get the Run Time error that the path does not exist or is not valid. Yet when I use the next line which is the same path, all is OK.
How to add attachments to a email using a sub form were I store the attachment paths
E.g I have a main form called frmteaminfomer with various fields and continuous subform called attachmentssubform in the sub form I have a field call txtaddress . I have some code that I can pick a file then put its file path into txtaddress field and also have a check box call add to email. so what I trying to do is loop through all the records in the subform and if the check box is true add the files as attachment on the email.
I wish to attach to an email a specified "Shortcut" such that recipients will be able to simply click the "attachment and the Access application will open.
I have searched the forum quite extensively but the perspiration has overtaken the inspiration so any assistance would be appreciated.
Below is the complete code that I am using
Private Sub Combo206_Click()
Maint_Sup_Close = Now()' Update a field Dim Attachment As String Dim MailDoc As Object Dim AttachME As Object Dim EmbedObj As Object
Dim s As Object Dim db As Object Dim doc As Object Dim rtItem As Object Dim Server As String, Database As String Dim strError As String Dim PI As String Dim Description As String Dim Work As String
Dim Email As String Dim Docket As String
PI = Me.PI_No_1 Description = Me.Desc Email = Me.Created_Email Docket = Me.Docket_ID Work = Me.Work_Required
Set s = CreateObject("Notes.notesSession") Server = s.GETENVIRONMENTSTRING("MailServer", True) Database = s.GETENVIRONMENTSTRING("MailFile", True) Set db = s.GETDATABASE(Server, Database)
On Error GoTo ErrorLogon 'see if user is logged on Set doc = db.CREATEDOCUMENT On Error GoTo 0
Set doc = Nothing Set db = Nothing Set s = Nothing Set rtItem = Nothing
MsgBox "Message Sent"
ErrorLogon: If Err.Number = 7063 Then MsgBox " You must first logon to Lotus Notes" Set doc = Nothing Set db = Nothing Set s = Nothing Set rtItem = Nothing End If
End Sub
I am a bit out of my depth and would appreciate a guru correcting the error of my ways
I have an Access 2010 database which has a table with several fields with the Hyperlink data type. Some of these hyperlinks reference files stored in a SharePoint database. I am relatively new to using hyperlinks. The task is to insert those hyperlinks into an email using VBA so that the recipient can just click on them to view the documents.
I have no problems with using VBA to create emails or to add attachments. My issue is with adding hyperlinks to the body of the email.
I am able to export data to excel file, I would like to send the excel file created to the customer, is there a sample code I can use to do this in a module.
I am using the following vba code to create and send an html format email message. The key information in the email is a hyperlink to a network drive folder location using [Directory] as a hyperlink table value to get the address that is stored like this: K:PipelinesP9 - TEP ProductsMOP AID-1500Final Approved
The email hyperlink that is produced looks like this:
#K:PipelinesP9_-_TEP_ProductsMOP_AID- Dim appOutLook As Outlook.Application Dim MailOutLook As Outlook.MailItem Dim MOPVDB As String MOPVDB = "H:PGADSBYMOP VALIDATIONTRACKINGMOPVDBMOP Validation DatabaseFE.accdb" Set appOutLook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
I would also like to automatically attach on the server to this email. Such a file stored such as servernamesharefilename.pdf. Is it possible to do this?
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 would like to automate the current process of sending an e-mail with a PDF attachment that is unique to each recipient; it is their test results. I'm sending an e-mail one at a time (which was fine when the number of folks being tested was small, but now I'm up to approximately 200 e-mails and growing each year)
System Environment:
Windows 7 SP1 (64 bit) Office 2010 Professional
Access environment and Process:
1. A qry object/letter is built based on 4 tables (test results, result averages, a global employee list and location)
2. The Report has both static and dynamic text. Examples include: "Dear" [qry-Letter. F_name] and Address Information
a. =[qry-Letters.F_Name] & " " & [qry-Letters.L_Name] b. =[qry-Letters.Position] c. ="Dept " & Right([qry-Letters.Dept],3) & ", " & [qry-Letters.City]
3. The report also includes the employee's results, the session averages (testing is conducted at multiple locations each occurrence is a session) and companywide averages.
4. Report Process: Run the report, entering primary key Emp_ID, report is populated saved (overwritten with the next Emp_ID and printed as a saved PDF.
5. MS Outlook: create a new e-mail, text body is common to all e-mails e.g. "attached are your test results" the PDF is attached and the e-mail sent to the recipient (the e-mail address follows the corporate standard, =Trim([qry-Letters.F_Name] & "." & [qry-Letters.L_Name] & "@abc.com")
What I'm try to do is attach any files from the attachment field from the current open record to email i have some code i have manage to get files from the open record to save to destination /temp folder to work so outlook can attach the files but outlook is not opening or putting them in to email also have problem's that i have highlighted in the code in red.
Code: Private Sub cmdEmail2_Click() Dim outlookApp As Outlook.Application Dim outlookNamespace As NameSpace Dim objMailItem As MailItem Dim objFolder As MAPIFolder Dim strAttachementPath As String
I posted a question the other day http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=143027 about not being able to open an Access 2003 database in Access 2007. It was asking for a password when I hadn't set one.
I gave up on that, started from scratch at home on Access 2007 last night and then saved the database in Access 2003 format. Took it to work on my USB drive today - where we use Access 2003 SP3 - tried to open it and had a message pop up saying that the database was an unrecognised format, or words to that effect. This is bugging the heck outta me!
I'm really beginning to suspect there is a problem with Access at work. Our IT guy downloaded the hotfix suggested by Moniker, but I can't see if it made any difference.
I've taken a fresh copy of my A2007 database, saved it in A2003 format again and attached it as zipped file below. Can someone just please see if it opens properly on their PC? It's very rough and ready as I only spent about an hour on it last night, but I just need someone to tell me if they can see the tables, forms etc.
- If you CAN open it, then I've got some evidence that there's a problem at work and can maybe talk our IT dept into a reinstall (or a new PC)
- If you CAN'T open it, then I must be doing somethnig wrong here and I'd really appreciate further advice.
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.
