Modules & VBA :: Hyperlink To Folder In A Form
Sep 26, 2013
I put in contracts in a form in Access.
Each contract has a Special ID. it's called mietvertragsnummerID (German Word).
Now i want by pressing a button, that for the choosen ID, a pdf, which gets saved in a seperate Folder, gets opened.
So i have the ID 18. (in the form in Access)
In the Folder M:FBGrimmSuW was saved the contract with the Name:
Mietvertrag18.
I've created the following code, but it doesn't work.
Code:
Private Sub Befehl4065_Click()
Dim sPath As String
sPath = "M:FBGrimmSuW" & "Mietvertrag" & Me.MietvertragsnummerID & ".pdf"
End Sub

I am using MS Access 2010. I have a code that I am using that loops through a folder gather all the names of the files in the folder and inserts them into a table (shown below). The table is named "tblFiles" there are two columns in the table titled file name and file path. What I want to do is to also loop through the same folder to find the file path of the files and insert them into the file path column has a hyperlink where users can just click on the hyperlink and the file opens.
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim fs, f, f1, fc, s
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("tblFiles")
[Code] .....

i've looked but can't find the answer!! which is unusual as this forum covers everything.
i have a field [photo location] with a hyperlink to a folder within which is a number of images. at the moment i have 2500 folders and its growing daily. the action i want when the 'photo location' field had got focus or when clicked is for the photos within the folder to open [not within the form itself] - either in seperate windows or preferably all together. i am using irfanview to display the images but am easy on this point. i do not want to give each photo its own hyperlink because there are thousands of them. any suggestions as to how i should do this?
thanks

I have 3 attachment boxes in my table that appears in a form.each attachment box contains specific files (not specific as in extension such as PDF, JPEG, etc.) but specific as in Company Documents, Certifications, Resumes. The issue is there's a lot of document and I see my database growing (fast)...My question finally is....
Can I use a Hyperlink to open a folder within a specific directory where multiple file are located so i can open the specific file need there RATHER than attaching them in the attachment box individually?.?.....If not how this can be done (no SQL) unless that route is very simple and basic coding.
My thinking would be to place the file path to the documents in the table and hyper link that column in the table, but not knowing exactly how Hyperlinks work I don't think it would actually work..

I'm trying to open a folder based on a BIN nr. This folder could be in a main folder that has diferent subfolder. As there where differnt naming used to create the folderes, one of the things they have always is the BIN nr. It alwasy start with a unique number and maybe I could use it to scan the subfolders and open that one that the BIN nr is equal as in the field BIN.
Now we have serveral 1000th of folders and finding them takes time.

i have thousands of data records with hyperlinks that are correct. Each data record shows the actual link (google.com, foxnews.com, espn.com, etc.). However, i want to change all of the records to just say "link" instead of saying espn.com, etc. How can i do this automatically without having to manually right click, edit, and changing the text to display?

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.

Im developing a database for work, I would like to provide a link on a form to run an external program. The form is call frmProfile. The table is called tblProfile and the hyperlink field is called link.
I would like a diaglog box to appear where the user can browse for the file and select it. Ive found various scripts but with my vb skills being very basic its no wonder im getting no joy.
I should add... each record has its own associated file. Its cctv footage which runs from the cctv systems own proprietary software. So its an individual filefor each record not just a program.

I currently have a button on a form which, when clicked, I would like to do several things:
1) Check if the folder, "folder name (1)" exists
2) If no, make it; if yes, check if the folder, "folder name (2)" exists
3) If no, make it; if yes, check if the folder, "folder name (3)" exists
4) repeat this process until a new folder is made
The code I currently have seems to not work, and makes an infinite loop
Code:
Private Sub Export_Click()
Dim checker As Integer
Dim projPath As String
checker = 1
[Code] ....

I have a form with a textbox with the "LinkedIn" profile address that I want the user to be able to pull up when they click a command button. It works, except that the link opens twice in two tabs in the browser. I've checked over the code for the whole form, and this code is only being run from the click event of the button, so why would it open the same tab twice? Here's the code:
Private Sub cmd_Click()
Dim ctl As CommandButton
Dim txthyper As String
Set ctl = Me!cmd
txthyper = Me!LinkedIn

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.

FilePath = CurrentProject.path
I am currently using this path, but I moved my database folder into another folder so people won't mess with it. I still need to create files to the original directory. How can I make the FilePath still relative but up one folder from CurrentProject.path?

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.

I believe this is most recurring scenario for all. Any simple way like:
Code:
For each file in folder.files
Msgbox File.Name
Next File
For your information the above code doesn't work

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.

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

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

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
