Modules & VBA :: Possible To Get File Completed Posting Info?
Jul 25, 2014
I have some code that checks if a file exists, its file size, creation date and date modified. The code works fine..however..
I need to import the file it is checking and that file can sometimes take up to 30 minutes to complete its posting. In fact I used the code to check it the other day and the code showed that it exists, its creation/modifed date and also its file size - however, the file size was what it was at that moment I ran the code. If I immediately re-run the code, the file size changes - obviously due to the fact that the file is still posting (and growing due to the date being posted to it). Also note that the (completed) file size will vary each day the file is posted
So, what I would like to know is, is their a way to check to see if a file has completed posting? Something akin to .filecreated like .filecompleted (yes or no) type thing?
Here is the code:
Public Sub sub_chk_files2()
Dim obj_fs As Object
Dim obj_folder As Object
Dim obj_files As Object
Dim obj_f1 As Object
Dim db As DAO.Database
I have a linked *.txt file and a qwery that returns the top 1 record from it. (The ideea is to check a value from one column of the file).Both the linked file/table and the query run corectly,I have a vba code on the on open of a form that is checking the query above mentioned (the form is on the Startup option of the database) and when I need to use the Dcount of the Query "
Code:
DCnt = DCount("Den_Fis", "Data_R_Mod_U$G9707014")
I get the "Runtime error 3625: the text file specification..." doesn't exist etc.I pres debug and test the query, I get the "Unknown Jet Error".I press Stop in the VBA and open the Qry - it shows what is was ment to show.I know the workaround is to make a maketable with the needed info and the Dcount on the local table, but it would add one query and one table to the database.
I have 2 tables, one is like a main table, containing all of the main data, such as a Job Number, Customer, Quantity, etc. I have a second, related, table that acts a breakdown of information. There may be several related records to one main record, it entirely depends on the nature of the job.
What I'd like to do is run a function that looks at a main record, checks if all the related records COMPLETED field is ticked and then tick a field in the main record. I only want it to do this for records where all of the related records are COMPLETED.
Can anyone tell me a sample code on how to write/develope the Advance file properties like....
File version Description Internal Name Product name
I have seen different types of files properties some has additional features while some has none - its just click once on any file and then click the right hand side mouse button and select the properties that will display all the information about the files click on second tab version (if there) will tell you the additional info about the file.
Does a (the) .ldb file have to be closed for another user on a network (separate FE linked to network drive BE) to read/write info to a table? Or even select info from a table?
I have two tables, one with a list of accounts (ACC), the other to post data about the accounts (DATA). I created a form for DATA and a combo box to select the account it relates to.
In the DATA split form, the account name shows up correctly in the datasheet. But when I select the DATA table, the ID of the account name shows up instead. How do I get the table to look the same as the datasheet in the split form?
I have a database containing 3 tables: Book, Member, and Loan. A relationship exists between the 3 tables(the relationship has no problems, I have enabled referential integrity). I created a query named Loan Query which uses all the 3 tables.
In the loan Query, the Member ID field is in Loan Table and the Member Name field is in the Member Table. This allows the database to automatically type the Name when the Member ID is entered into the query retrieving the information from the Member Table. This also works fine. But the problem is that the Name field of the Loan TABLE (not query) remains blank.
All I want to do is for the database to also write the Name in the Loan Table along with the Loan Query. I will also have to apply the same for other fields also.
I am a beginner in Microsoft Access and so whosoever replies, please elaborate the solution.
I hope someone can guide me in the right direction. I have developed a database to keep track of Service Calls we receive. We manufacture and/or service a wide range of products from Automatic Laundry/Kitchen chemical dispensers to office furniture. We are currently using this data base and it works well, I'm trying to make it easier for the user.
I have a form to enter information into a table, tblService Calls. In the form I have a ComboBox labeled Issue Code which looks up information in a table tblService Issue. I also have a ComboBox labeled Service Issue which also looks up information in the tblService Issue.
tblServiee Issue looks like this: Issue Code Service Issue 101 Laundry Install 201 Kitchen Install and so on
What I'm trying to do is when I enter issue code 101 in ComboBox Issue Code, I would like the Service Issue (Laundry Install) to automatically post in the ComboBox or TextBox labeled Service Issue. Is this possible?
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me! Larry D.
I have a field in which I wish to post several contacts. The contacts are listed in a table and populate the specific field via a drop down. In this specific field I want to select "mary" "bob" and "fred" (all three to display) however only one is displayed.....
I am trying to create a database for a company I work with which creates a food product which needs to be traceable from creation to finish. I have created a table with all of the necessary information for the creation of a batch.
1. During this batch creation, we add water multiple times which we record each time, i.e., 2cups, 2 cups, 2cups, etc. I have a field for "water", and wish to record each instance and amount of water added, but only want one record for the complete batch. Also I only need the total water amount in the batch record, but want to be able to expand to see the individual amounts as needed.
2. Also, we need to record various readings (temp, etc.) throughout batch creation. Again, same problem as before.
What is the best way to do this? I want to be able to reference this info anytime I want to check creation specs for each individual batch.
I have a form designed to execute a query with a prompt for a particular record. When the record being searched for is not there the form become blank with nothing on it. I would like to return a message that indicates that the record was not found and give he user an option of reexecuting the query of exiting the form.
is there away to filter rows when certain values in three different tables are the same. e.g. it is a stock control db - so when goods orded = goods in = goods taken - can this then be filtered automatically to hide rows and avoids congestion on the user interface (form)?
Question: Is it possible, using VBA, to determine the actual Excel file type without opening the file?
I receive data files from other departments. Seems like every time someone changes their download structure, I end up with file types that do not match the download extension (example: xlm file with a xls extension). The files can't even be opened because of this. I think I can fix it if I could figure out how to determine what the file type really is.
I recently upgraded a DB from 2003 to 2013 and ran into the following problem.
I have a button that opens a file dialog box and allows the user to upload a file to a predetermined location (and store the address as a hyperlink). I borrowed this code from someone else on here and modified it slightly.
In any case, the button still works, but now when it opens it doesn't have an option for "All files" under file types. So I can upload MS Office files, text files, etc., but not PDF files which are by far the most common types my users upload.
Here's my code and a screenshot is attached.
Private Sub Command35_Click() Dim dd As Integer Dim fileDump As FileDialog Set fileDump = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen) dd = fileDump.Show
I am using the following code to select files using Microsoft Office's file dialog:
Public Function fTestFilePicker() As String Dim fdFileSelection As Office.FileDialog, lstrFileName As String Const kInitialFile = "F:TestbedTest.txt" Set fdFileSelection = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker) With fdFileSelection .AllowMultiSelect = False
[Code] .....
When I execute it, the file picker goes to the right folder but does not highlight the file test.txt even though that file name shows in the File name text box. Is there any way to correct this?
I need help on this, from what the best concept is, to what I need to look into using:
I store Quote data from phone calls into tblQuotes. There is a seperate table that holds much of the same information except that it is for actual orders called tblOrders.
As far as function goes, I have each working much the way I need it to except for one thing... If a sales person is on the phone with a customer with a quote already in the system, right now they re-enter the data into the Order table. Most times, the order is what was quoted, but maybe with a few small changes (so I will wnt to keep a historical record of the quote). How could I copy the contents of the quote recordset into the recordset for an order, where all the sales rep does from there is edit the quote to the actual order?
Would I use VBA or an update query that is executed via VAB? Honestly, I am unsure how to do this at all, I hope someone has seen this before and has a good suggestion...
I am trying to automate the function that imports Infopath (.xml) data into access tables. I can have a button run the MenuCommand, but then the users have to go through all of the prompts and I just don't trust them enough to do it properly.
All I want is the user to click a button, then it lets them browse for the desired file and then imports it.
Encountered a situation where the Date and Time functions in VBA are not using current data? I have VBA code that uses Time to determine certain actions. A new associate took a copy of that code and started tinkering with it to complete a project I assigned. Now, his copy of the code returns old data for the Date and Time functions. It returns 5/27/2014 for Date and 7:15:42 AM for Time. The Now function works properly.
Additionally, running the Date and Time functions in queries works fine. I've compacted and repaired the Access database, I've checked the references, and I've checked to see if he assigned values to variables named Date or Time, but I don't see anything wrong. What am I missing?
I a trying to list all fields from ALL tables in a certain DB.I am using the tableinfo function. However, because the output of the immediate window is limited to 200 lines, I can only see the last 200 fields. Is there a way to export this in another way than the debug.print procedure, so I can bypass this limitation?
Code:
Public Sub showtablefields() Dim db As Database Dim tdl As TableDef
I would like a textbox in my vendor form to display the number of times that the vender’s name appears in a jobs-completed table during a particular calendar year. I’m not sure where to start. I have tried building a query as follows:
SELECT Count(tblCompletedJobs.Job#) AS CountOfJobs FROM tblCompletedJobs HAVING (((tblCompletedJobs.DateOfEngagement)>=#1/1/2006#));
