Modules & VBA :: How To Load Print Dialog Box
Jul 28, 2015
Users of the db I am working on print using a regular network printer 95% of the time. 5% of the time however, they need to change that printer to another one, or to a PDF printing program. All of the printers they need are installed in their Printers folder.I can think of two possible courses of action here:
1. load the printer dialog box (preferred)
2. provide them with a custom interface to select a temporary printer
I don't want them to have to load the printers folder and switch the printer temporarily.how to load the printer dialog.

This for an app being used in Access 2003. I'm trying to (sort of) automate naming a PDF report. After the user selects a printer from the print dialog, if the printer name is like "*PDF*" then I want to put the PDF file name in the clipboard so it can be quickly pasted in the file name of the PDF printer's save dialog.
Something like this:
Code:
Dim strSelectedPrinter as string
DoCmd.OpenReport "rpt1", acViewPreview
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdPrint
[Code]....
but that returns the name of the default printer, not the selected printer.

Hi,
I used the code below to hide all the toolbars and then created my custom ReportToolbar so the user can print the report. All works OK; however, the PRINT button on my custom toolbar sends the report imidiately to the printer. How can I create a button that I could add to my custom toolbox which would open the dialog box that allows to choose the printer, number of pages to print, etc.. (same action as I can get by going to File->Print)?
PS> Also, is there any way to remove the drop down arrow from my custom toolbox? I disabled Customize Toolbox but the pulldown arrow still appears. I found making an MDE would take care of this, but was wondering if there was another solution.
Code used to hide toolbars:For i = 1 To CommandBars.Count
CommandBars(i).Enabled = False
Next i

Is there a way to get information in the print dialog box (File -> Print)? Like when i click ok or cancel? Or any other way that i will be able to know that the report is sent to printer or being printed.

I'd like to directly print a report from a button on a form.
I want to click the button and the report just prints to my default printer without any other user interaction.
Currently the print dialog appears but I don't want it.

My 'print' icon prints whatever is on the page as soon as it is clicked.
I'd like it to show the print dialog detailing which page / how many copies / which printer and so on.
how to do this?
I tried to customize the toolbar by adding the print icon from the File toolbar , but this is the same 'straight-to-print' as I already have.

I want to put a print button on my data entry form that prints the current record in a report that is laid out all nice and pretty. I found this code that works, but it goes straight to the printer - it does not bring up the printer dialog so you can select a printer.
Code:
Private Sub RecordPrint_Click()
Dim strWhere As String
If Me.Dirty Then
Me.Dirty = False
End If
[Code] ....
How do I get it to bring up the printer dialog?

I am asking my users to interact with the Get External Data dialog, and I'm trying to restrict what they can do.
Code:
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdImportAttachText
I really like the mapping feature Access uses so I want to use that part of the Wizard, but I don't want my users to import data to the wrong table.Can I skip the first page of the 'Get External Data' Dialog series? Invoke the 'Import Text Wizard' without the previous dialog?see: AWF2. I can get the file path from a File Picker dialog.
Can I set the combobox to a default selection?

The code below sets my printer to "Cute PDF writer" and then opens a report in print view, which creates a PDF version of my report. So far so good. But just before the last step, it brings up the Save As dialog box, asking for a filename and location.
Three points are important:I always want to call the PDF document "Specialty Report".I always want to save it to C:Documents and Settings80435 Desktop. I always want to overwrite the previous version.
Is there some code I can insert that would achieve this automatically with no further user interaction i.e. user clicks a button and the PDF file is created/overwritten?
Code:
'Produce the report
Dim defPrinter As String, NewPrinter As Printer
defPrinter = Application.Printer.DeviceName 'Get the default printer name
Set NewPrinter = Application.Printers("CutePDF Writer") 'Create a new printer object
Set Application.Printer = NewPrinter 'Set the default printer to the new printer
DoCmd.OpenReport "Specialty Report", acViewPrint 'Open the report in print view (which will PDF it)
Set NewPrinter = Application.Printers(defPrinter) 'Reset the printer back to the default printer

I have the following code which successfully opens the dialog box with filters however when I add a function with an Excel import, the filters do not work at all (no files are shown even though they exist in the directory that's opened within the dialog box). If I manually type in the filter (i.e. *.x) it still shows the files.The function at the bottom was provided by cheekybuddha from another form, I'd be lost on getting the Excel file imported into Access.Here's the VBA code (the Function is also included at bottom):
Code:
Private Sub Command0_Click()
On Error GoTo PROC_ERR
Dim strpathtofile As String
Dim strTable As String, strBrowseMsg As String
Dim strFilter As String, strInitialDirectory As String
Dim blnHasFieldNames As Boolean
[code]...

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!!

I have written the following code to open the Outlook 2013 'Select Names Dialog' with a command button called 'btnTo' from an Access 2010 form, this code works fine to display the dialogue box but it is usually hidden and the user has to 'click' the icon on the task bar to show the dialogue box. I know that there is an API that will bring the dialogue box to the front but how to code the API to do this.
Code:
Private Sub btnTo_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_btnTo_Click
Dim olkApp As Outlook.Application
Dim olkSes As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim olkSND As Outlook.SelectNamesDialog
[Code] .....

I've written a function which opens the Outlook GAL dialog, allows users to select recipients and passes back a 2-D array (recipients and type i.e. To, CC or BCC).Here is the code :
Code:
Public Function GetContactsFromOutlookGAL() As Variant
Dim appOutlook As Object ' Outlook Application
Dim objNameSpace As Object ' Outlook NameSpace
Dim objSelectNamesDialog As Object ' Outlook Select Names Dialog
[code]...
The only problem I have is that when I 'display' the SelectNamesDialog, it doesn't make it the active window and bring it to the front - it just opens the dialog in Outlook and you have to navigate to the main Outlook window to find it.I'd like for the dialog to 'popup' - ideally, without the main Outlook window dragging along behind
I believe it's possible (judging from this article) to achieve this using API's - specifically, a combination of FindWindow (to retrieve the window handle) and ShowWindowLong (to set it to a topmost window in front of all other windows).

I have been dabbling in excel to get data from an online database however I would like it to come straight into access instead of coming through excel.
In excel it is quite easy using a web query however I have not been able to find anything that can do the same in access. Is it even possible or will I need to use excel as the stepping stone?
The data comes from this place: [URL] ....

I have a question that I have a Microsoft Access database (.accdb) front-end/backend split and I want to give the database to my company client. As we have the different path for the backend/frontend linked. I want some code that will popup if the database location is not found and popup with the dialog so the user then select the backend and it would be ready and there is no need to popup each time the database open, it would run once it did not find the last linked path.
Also I have tried the code of Dev Ashish URL.... but unfortunately it would ask everytime to refresh the table links and I only want to run the process of linking tables when the database start and the linked path not found.

I have got a received form that has 2 subforms.
The main form is based on Received Table
The 1st subform is based on a query that shows the order detail and how many units are outstanding.
The 2nd subform is based on a receivedDetail table. so will have a list of items with the original order qty, and the qty still outstanding.
When the main form loads i want it to create new records into the 2nd subform based on the 1st Subform.
so the 1st and 2nd subform run parallel with each other and appear to be as one to the user.
both subforms are continuous style.
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
With Me.Form.RecordsetClone
Do While Not .EOF
.AddNew
!UserFK = Forms!frmReceive!cbxUsername
[Code] ....

I am trying to load a form based on an if statement. I think my issue is that I have the DB set to Display form "frmSplash" on open. I have tried the following (frmSplash form load event) but it continues past the frmMenu and stops at the frmSplash. I want to open the DB and look to see if it is registered and if yes then open frmMenu. There is 1 record in tblRegistration so it should open to frmMenu. I checked and it is seeing the 1 record.
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim rs As Recordset
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM [tblRegistration]")
If rs.RecordCount > 0 Then
[code]...
Does the display form on open override all? how to achieve to goal?

I know in Access that you can filter your work load criteria for each employee which is fine using Como boxes to filter down specific criteria for that employee, however I'm trying to achieve it with date filters between certain dates, and it works but ends up filtering the dates for every employee, I just want it to filter that specific employee .
This is what I have so far.
PHP Code:
Private Sub Date_Filter_Click()
Dim strWhere As String
Dim lngLen As Long
Const conJetDate = "#mm/dd/yyyy#"
If Not IsNull(Me.txtStartDate) Then

I have quite a few user defined / custom functions which I would like to be available in any new database that I create without have to copy the VBA codes in a module each time. Basically, some sort of add-in that loads on MS Access startup may be (but I am not too sure - never created one). So something that will start with the MS Access Application and not just a particular database. I know excel addins can be copied to the XLStartup folder to achieve something like this in excel, but not sure about Access.
