View RepliesI have a few selected reports on an Access 2007 database that users can run. Is there a way for users to view the report, save as a PDF and automatically save a copy to a shared drive by modules/vba coding as an On Click event procedure?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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?

I have some code which creates a record in an external csv file to provide information to upload a vehicle to the website. It works fine with the exception of creating duplicates when, for example an option to amend a record is given to the user before continuing to a new record. The option has to be in place in case there is an error in the specifics of what is important to be recorded in the database and under such circumstances the form code allows the user to tab through the form and correct any errors, but this creates duplicate entries in the csv file as the user has to pass through the 'SavePrintVehPurch_Exit' button a second time after corrections are made.
I am wondering if there is a way of altering the following code to effectively look look to see if the csv record exists and if so correct any changed field information rather than create a whole new record or create a new record where the record does not exist - The record in the csv file is determined by the 'Me.VP_VehRegMark.Value '.
Private Sub SavePrintVehPurch_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
Dim fileText As String
Dim fileName As String
Dim fileNumber As String
fileNumber = FreeFile

I am wondering about introducing the something like the following ( but can't work out how to clarify comparison of the fields)
If Len(filename(fileText)) = ? Then
Do not change entry
Else

How to search for a file using the dir function, however, i need to search for a file from a main folder which may have several sub folders.
I am having no luck so far - i understand there is a recursive search facility but im not sure how i can get this to work with what i am trying to achieve.
This is the code i have for the dir function:
If Len(Dir("as-tamworth-50midlands.qa$TamworthLaminate C of CsCircuit Foil" & CofC & ".")) = 0 Then
MsgBox "This file does not exist"
Else
MsgBox "Yippee"
End If
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.

Any way to automatically connect these file to an attachment field in the existing record.

In VBA I have set a timer on a form to run a query and export to a specific folder as an excel file.
If I open the database as 'File Open' and open the form and let the timer run it exports perfectly.
As soon as I put the database into runtime - the Timer code kicks in and starts running but as soon as it hits the export line. It stops and then does nothing
I have tried several combinations of either:
- docmd.runsavedimportexport "Query"
- docmd.outputTo acquery etc ...
I'm currently working on a database to track and inventory documents in my organization similar to a library catalog, but with a digital archive as well. I'll need the ability to "attach" documents to records in the main inventory (though using links instead of storing it in the db) and have the documents live in a centrally accessible location on our shared server.
I will need to have this function work through a few different tables and in a few different iterations, but I'm trying to work on the simplest part first, which is attaching a thumbnail/preview of a given document to the record for that document.
I've got some VBA working well which opens the file picker and copies the file to a directory relative to the DB. It also creates a folder with each employee's ID number if it doesn't exist already (which it gets from the Windows log in) and adds "Copied_" to the front of the file.
Now I'm trying to get the VBA code to interact with the record. Presumably I need to tell the form button I'm using to launch the VBA code to pass the primary key of the record being displayed to VBA. Then, at the end of the VBA code I need to take that value and find the record again from VBA so I can update the MediaThumbnailLink in the original record.
Does this order of operations make sense? If so, how should I go about passing these values back and forth and writing the new link value?
Here's the VBA I'm using so far...
Code:
Option Compare Database
Public Sub GoCopyThumbnail()
Dim fDialog As FileDialog
Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
Dim varFile As Variant
Dim LUser As String
[Code] ....
I have a database that pulls images from a shared folder on our network with links. Is it possible to create a button to email the current record on a form and attach the file it references in the link?
The attachment is a pdf signature. I didn't want to include the files in the database for space issues.
I am using Access 2007. We out outlook as our email client.
I currently have a working model which opens up a word document template, fills the bookmarks with info from access, saves the file as a preset name and then send the document on Outlook.
What I would like to do is save the document as a variable, preferably as something like " Climbing Request for site (and then to lift the site name from Access form field and insert here) "
E.G " Climbing Request - Newcastle Central Station.doc"
The location of the site name on access is...
Code:
objWord.Selection.Text = Forms![Front Page]![Site 2 Owner]
Currently I save the document using the below code...
Code:
objWord.ActiveDocument.SaveAs2 FileName:="C:UsersmedesktopFrom Colino2test.docx"
This is the last step before "launching" my database automation.
i'm using a form with an unbound text box to temporarily hold data that i want to use in several other places (all those functions work great). last step is to save the newly created table with a different name (will be used for a mail merge later so must be a separate table or else we'd have to filter thousands of records during each mail merge) and i want to use the data i've temporarily held in my unbound text box within my form as the name in the save as function.
can i specify a variable as a file name within the save as function? is there a better way?
I want to save NOW() (i.e. Date and time) into an event log file. But I just cannot work out the syntax. My insert statement works fine without the date field in, but fails on a syntax error (3134) when I include it.
strsqlac = "INSERT INTO EventLog ( EventTime, User, EventType, EventMessage, DocRef, AutoSeq, CoCode ) " & _
" Values ( '" & Now() & "', '" & GlobUser & _
"', '" & Mess2 & _
"', '" & Mess1 & _
"', '" & Docref & _
"', " & AutoSeq & _
", '" & CoCode & _
"' );"
... it's the first column, EventTime that is the issue. I have tried several different ways of wrapping it in the VALUES () without success.
My database field EventTime is defined as a General date which Access 2007 tells me will give me date and time. That's what I want.
The Value formats I have tried (currently showing as 'NOW()' above, are ...
#NOW()#
#'NOW()'=
'#NOW()#'
and (as I say) 'NOW()'
