Modules & VBA :: Check Directory For A Folder Name Which Has Certain String In It

Jul 25, 2013

I'm trying to check a directory for a folder name which has a certain string in it (RecNum)

However the fso object filesys.FolderExists does not take an argument when looking for part of a folder name on a particular path.

What I basically want to do is look in a directory for a folder with the RecNum variable as part of the folder name. if it exists open it, if not create it.

This is how far i've got:-

targetdir = targetpath & RecNum & ChannelPartner & Enduser

Set filesys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If filesys.FolderExists(targetdir) Then GoTo function_end
MkDir targetdir
If filesys.FolderExists(copypath) Then
filesys.CopyFolder copypath, targetdir
End If
MsgBox ("folder created")
function_end:

Shell "Explorer.exe /n,/e," & targetdir, vbNormalFocus

Modules & VBA :: Check Whether First Line Of A Memo Field Is Empty

Feb 10, 2015

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.

How To Open A Dialog Box To Move Files Inside A Folder That Is Setup As Current Folder

Sep 2, 2015

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.

Modules & VBA :: Merging All PDF Files In Particular Folder

Oct 25, 2014

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.

Modules & VBA :: Combine PDF Files In A Folder

Oct 21, 2013

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.

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

Modules & VBA :: Function To Unzip A File To Same Folder

Jun 26, 2014

I'm trying to write a function to unzip a file (working off Ron de Bruin's code here)..The function should take the path of the zipped file as an argument and return the path of the unzipped file (extracting to the same folder)

Code:
Public Function UnZipFile(strFile As String) As String
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
Dim objFSO As Object
Dim objShellApp As Object
Dim strUnzipped As String

[code]...

But the code has no effect (i.e., I'm still left with just the zipped file in the folder, not the unzipped contents?) strFile is a legitimate path to an existing .zip file which contains a zipped .xls file

Code:
objShellApp.Namespace(.GetAbsolutePathName(strFile)).Items

...but found that the .Count property was 0?I've done several searches on how to unzip files using VBA and this seems to be the universally accepted method.

Modules & VBA :: How To Deter Cancel From MS Folder Dialog Box

May 11, 2014

Code:
Function dialogFolderBrowse() As String
Dim fp As FileDialog
Dim vrtSelectedItem As Variant
Dim VarX As String
'this next line is an optional warning to the user so they know what is about to happen
'MsgBox "LOCATE THE DESIRED FOLDER!!", vbOKOnly

[code].....

THE UPPER code is to locate the user desired folder path and name in order to do further process. However, my problem is that no matter I press <OK> or <Cancel> option in the normal MS Folder dialog box, the process still going on. Is that I miss some on error or on exit code??My idea is that when user press <OK>, the process goes on and when press <Cancel>, no process will be done!!

Modules & VBA :: Using Images In A Folder On Report / Form

Feb 28, 2014

I have photos stored in a folder on a drive. I have referenced them before in a simple picture viewer I created in a form. I create the file name by referencing the values of a list box on the field.

Example:

The list box has piid.2005.001 and image name is 2

filename = C:Temp" & pidd & "" & piid & "_" & imageName & ".jpg"
C:Temppiid.2005.001piid.2005.001_2.jpg

Each piid has it's own set of photos in their own folder

Now. I want to be able to print out all the files in a report/form. The piid and image name are stored in a table called tblPhotos so I could reference there.

I want to have a button I click that generates a report/form that spits out all the photos in that folder. Next to a button would be a text box (txtWhichPiid) where you enter in the piid and that's how you know which piid's photos to use.

Modules & VBA :: Test If Main Folder And Subfolder Exist

Mar 1, 2015

I'm having problems creating a second subfolder in the main folder.

The main folder is used to keep inside the reviews of clients inside.

The code I have now, will only create a main folder if it does not exist and then a subfolder with the BIN nr, type review and date. If the client would have a diferent ones and in diferent years. So if it has first "Prototype Model", the next one could be "Prototype Review". The part of the code that checks if the main folder exist works, but how to let the code create in the main folder the second review subfolder? Please see below code I managed so far:

Code:
Private Sub btn_Create_Folder_Click() 'XXXXXXXXXX working onXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Dim path1 As String
Dim path2 As String
path1 = "C:Test_FolderMedium" & Me.BIN & "_" & RTrim(Me.LE_Name) & ""
path2 = "C:Test_FolderHigh" & Me.BIN & "_" & RTrim(Me.LE_Name) & ""

[Code] ...

How to have the code test both of them?
