I have an application where I have to read a big VCF file in VBA, extract the information and place it into records of a table. Of course I can read as a text file, but the structure is quite cumbersome to implement with many fields missing in different records and it is not a one time job.
View RepliesI am new to Access and this is likely a very elementary question. I recently created a database to track status of projects including progress and funding. The table contains several fields that record various aspects of funding. These fields are added (very simply) and create a calculated field that is a summation of those fields. The table currently contains approx 60 records. The calculated field functions for 2 or 3 records and will not calculate further. I have tried this in a form as well as a query. The form will change the same number, 2 or 3 records. When the query is run the result shows only the 2 or 3 records. What I am doing that is only reading and modifying those records?
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy database was working fine until I split the database and now I'm having issues with this function:
Code:
Public Function OpenFirstAttachmentAsTempFile(ByRef rstCurrent As DAO.Recordset, ByVal strFieldName As String) As String
Dim rstChild As DAO.Recordset2
Dim fldAttach As DAO.Field2
Dim strFilePath As String
Dim strTempDir As String
[Code] ....
It's getting stuck on the "strFilePath = strTempDir & rstChild.Fields("FileName").Value" line. The debugger says that there is no reord. The strTempDir is correct. I am assuming that the issue has to with linking to the database.
I have been using a A2003 file through A2007 to be able to use user security.We are now in A2010 and the users and permissions component is not showing in the Administrator area as it did in A2007, although the security is still functioning. How do I get access to Users and Permissions in A2010?

I have the following issue:
In my job we work with several raw data .txt files exported from Oracle ERP system. These data include information about: inventory, sales, backorders, purchase orders, forecasts, product line.
My goal is to put information from all of these imported txt files together to create an easy to use snapshot file.
The common field between al of these files is the item description. I have an issue where records are repeated for several fields every time the same item description is showed. For example for the same product description the january sales forecast QTY is repeated on several rows because there are several orders for this product description. Is there a way to make forecast QTY appear only once but keep the multiple orders and their information?

Im trying to work with access 97, to import a text file into access. All the books i have looked in and web pages found say, file - get external data - import, then in "files of type" drop down you can select text.
I dont have the option to do this.
I have Uninstalled office 97, reinstalled it. with all the extras.
I have gone into the help and added all the valupack but still nothing.
Thanks :confused:
I have a few hundred access databases all with the same tables and structure, and want to import all the data in a 'mother' database (which i created with the same tables and structure).
I am using a sub that feeds a string to another public sub as follows:
Code:
Private Sub cmdImport_Click()
Dim strFolder As String 'source folder path for import
Dim strFile As String 'individual file path
strFolder = GetFolder(Environ$("USERPROFILE") & "Documenti")
If Len(strFolder) <= 1 Then Exit Sub
[code]....
Code to rename photos (Access 2010). The new name (full path) is listed on a table (although I would love to accomplish the task from the list query that I later used to generate the table). There is one field in the table (or query) called OldPath and one field called NewPath. The table name is RenPaths. Both paths are located in the same drive. I want to rename the file in a new folder. I created the new folder which is contained in the NewPath.
I was trying to accomplish this using the Name function
Name OldPath as NewPath
Here is the full code:
Private Sub Command0_Click()
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim OldPath As String
Dim NewPath As String
OldPath = "Select OldPath From RenPaths"
[Code] ....
Here is an example of the paths in my table:
Old Path is - C:UserskcrespoDocumentsFulcrum to MACPFulcrum_Export_a97dee97-ba92-455e-9d5c-3b35617ad357SAA Inspection Form367e14e0-439b-4a50-99e1-9154bcc9e3f7.jpg
New Path is - C:UserskcrespoDocumentsFulcrum to MACPFulcrum_Export_a97dee97-ba92-455e-9d5c-3b35617ad357SAA Inspection FormimageswwMH51856_A3f7.jpg
Im getting an error: Run time error '53': File not found
I checked the OldPath and everything is correct so if the code is working correctly it should have found the file.
I am very new to Access and I am not a programmer at all. Something in my program changed and I am stuck on how to correct it. When I look at the front end everthing looks fine. When I look at the back end one of my fields are no longer reading correctly. I get the message error code 2465

This is an ongoing problem I have had for 4 weeks now.
I have made a a system thats acts like a clock In/clock out Out system.
the structure is somthing like this
ID
Username
tblDailyLog
TimeIn
MorningBreakOut
MorningBreakOut
LunchOut
LunchIn
AfternoonOut
AfternoonIn
TimeOut
All fields apart from ID (autonumber) and username (String*255) are Date field (there are a few others like DateOfTimesheet etc but they arnt important here)
When a user arrives in the morning they make a record which they use for the day
They then have a form with a whole bunch of buttons which simply updates the correct field. For example they click the "Sign in for the Day" button and it updates the correct field with the current time.
Everything was going fine until people noticed that every now and again a sign in time dissapeared.
I have hacked myself to death trying to solve this problem but still the updates go Astray.
Now each time a time is updated the process goes somthing like this
1. the user opens their timesheet for the day (the RS is SNAPSHOT and no locks)
2. User Hits a sign in/out button
3. The record source is changed to "" and all buttons hidden (to ensure the record isnt locked and to make sure you dont do two things at once)
3. The table is updated with the new time (using some dynamic SQL)
4. The table is repeatadly checked using a DO loop to make sure the the correct time went in.
5. when the returned time value of the field matches the varaible used to update it, the form is returned to normal and the user carries on his/her merry way (if it never matches the screen should crash but this never happens).
6. A New record is added to another table called "tblbugfixinglog" which records which field was updated and when. This is so that I have two records in two different ways (figured if one went astray I could pull it back off the other)
7. Another new record is added to yet another table called tblSQLRecord, which simply logs all .RUNSQL statements that are executed.
I thought that the two extra tables (and the check that the record had been updated) would help me track down where the records are going missing, but this isnt the case.
Now it appears that some records arnt being added to tblBugFixingLog and to tblSQLRecord either and some of these tables are getting quite a few #ERROR's in them..
None of the tables are related to any other and i've no idea how #ERROR lines are appearing in a table that has 1 function... to recieve new records ... no editing, no viewing, no deleting.
Does anyone have any idea how these updates/inserts can go missing or create #ERRORs.
I've built plenty of Databases in my time and have never come across this.
__________________________________________________ ______________
This is the function I use to add a record to tblBugfixingLog and tblSQLRecord
Private Sub AddBugLog(ByVal TimesheetNumber As Long, ByVal FieldUpdating As String, ByVal NewFieldValue)
Dim TempSQL As String
TempSQL = "INSERT INTO tblBugFixingLog (TimeAndDateOfEntrySERVER,TimeAndDateOfEntryPC,Fie ldUpdated,NewEntry,UserID,TimesheetNumber,Computer AssetNo) VALUES (" & _

'CleanData is a function that removes ' and " from the SQL string so i can easily add the SQL string into the table
DoCmd.RunSQL TempSQL, False
End Sub
Public Function CleanData(ByVal DataToClean As String)
Dim TempData As String
Dim i As Integer
TempData = ""
For i = 1 To Len(DataToClean)
Select Case Mid(DataToClean, i, 1)
Case "'"
TempData = TempData & "`"
Case """"
TempData = TempData & "`"
Case Else
TempData = TempData & Mid(DataToClean, i, 1)
End Select
Next i
CleanData = TempData
End Function

I have no idea how this can create #ERROR lines in the table when it is just added to and nothing else.
Does anyone have any clue to what may be happening here.
(Oh yeah and no matter how hard I try, I can't replicate the problem.... works for me every time no matter how harse I am to it!)
Please save what little hair I have left and give me some hope
Cheers

I have to write a code for my database,i have folder with files "pending Review" and a table with column "tblExcelLocation". when i run my database all the files from pending review folder goes to "tblExcelLocation" on a click of button.But,if the files already exists it should not insert those files and insert the rest.For this i tried to write a code but i think i m unable to do that .
Code:
Loop through files in folder
folderspec = "O:QA FilesQC ReportingPending Review"
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fs.GetFolder(folderspec)
Set fc = f.files
[code]...
I have a command button on a Access 2010 form that i am using as my switchboard. On this form i have a hidden unbound text box that captures the users environ"username". When the user hits a command button on the form the code looks at the name in the hidden textbox that captures the environ"username" and then DLooks up a table to see if there is a match. If yes then it will open the next form and if not then a message box appears.
Code:
Private Sub Command6_Click()
Dim TxtUsername As String
If Me.TxtUsername = DLookup("[OneLondon Login]", "TblAccessUsers") Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "Bakerloo_Main_Form"
Exit Sub
Else
MsgBox "You do not have permission to access this database"
End If
End Sub
This works fine apart from the fact it will only read the first name entered in the table. This table(TblAccessUsers) could have up to 50 names in it and possibly have names removed and re added at a later date. Is there a way i can get the code to look up every name in the table ??
In an Access 2010 form is it possible to export select records and fields in those records to a specific location?
Code:
Set objDialog = Application.FileDialog(4)
With objDialog
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.Title = "Please select a File"
.InitialFilename = "C:"
.Show
If .SelectedItems.Count = 0 Then
MsgBox ("Action Cancelled")
Else
[code]....
The user can select the directory using the code above, but can specific fields in records be exported to a excel workbook in that selected directory?For example, if the are 5 records in the database can the fields LastName,FirstName,BirthDate in records 1,2,3 be exported to Setup.xlsx in that selected directory?
I am trying to read the value of a control on an open form from a Public Function in a Module with no luck. I suspect the issue is syntax.
Code:
Public Function MyFunction(varFormName As String, varControlName As String)
If Forms(varFormName).Controls(varControlName) = True Then ' = 0 even when control is -1
Else
End If
End Function
The variables pass through fine but the If statement equals zero regardless of the state of the form's control. I tried several variations to no avail.
If Forms(varFormName).Form.Controls(varContactControl ) = True Then
If Forms(varFormName)!Form.Controls(varContactControl ) = True Then
Etc.
Any method of reading web page source code data.
I am trying to create an event similar to a web query in Excel.
The table in question is not a html table but an asp.net table I think.
I have an access 2003 database where the table is linked from mysql.
I would like to know how it is possible to read a specific record from the linked tables using vba code.
I want to create a table of all fields in a form, their datatype and their controlsource.
I have done the first 2 parts easily enough using the forms.formname.controls.name property
and
TypeName(forms.formname.controls)
But I am unable to pragmatically read the controlSource.
EG
forms.formname.controls.txtname.controlsource works
but when In a for loop
I cannot use the name of the control to return the control source.
Code:
Sub PopTab
Set frm = forms.FrmCases
for each CTl in frm.controls
MyName = ctl.name
MyType = TypeName(ctl)
MySource = ctl.name.controlsource
end if
next ctl
end sub
I have always had solid read access to the Windows registry running on Windows XP with Access 2007. I am utilizing code from here in a separate VBA Module to obtain access to the Windows registry:
"Change registry settings in VBA"
[URL]
On Windows 7 x64 / Access 2010 x86, I am seeing a 0 value in lngKeyHandle. Also, m_lngRetVal has a value of 2 after the RegOpenKey LOC.
Code:
' --------------------------------------------------------------
' Query the key path
' --------------------------------------------------------------
m_lngRetVal = RegOpenKey(lngRootKey, strRegKeyPath, lngKeyHandle)
' --------------------------------------------------------------
' If no key handle was found then there is no key. Leave here.
' --------------------------------------------------------------
If lngKeyHandle = 0 Then
regQuery_A_Key = vbNullString
m_lngRetVal = RegCloseKey(lngKeyHandle) ' always close the handle
Exit Function
End If
I have verified that I have the key successfully in the registry... installed via the .reg file that works on Windows XP / Access 2007 systems.
I am trying to use a Connection to an xlsx spredsheet to read in a table of information (the data is not a table, just laid out in a table, see attached, the one I am trying to load is xlsx not xls but I cannot for some reson upload the xlsx one on here)
I have the following declared:
Code:
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
my connection string is:
Code:
strConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" & cstrFolder &
Chr(92) & tempSymbol & ".xlsx;Extended Properties='Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=YES';"
I open the connection which works fine:
Code : cn.Open strConnectionString
Now here I hit the problem, I have the following SQL string:
Code : strSelect = "SELECT * from [table$]"
The spreadsheet contains just 1 tab, named table so I think I am referring to the data correctly in my SQL string?
When I open the recordet for variable rs using:
Code : rs.Open strSelect, cn, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic, adCmdText
I get the error dialogue box:
The Microsoft Access database engine could not find the object 'table$'. make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.....
I did a Debug.print to check the strConnectionString was correct and the Source is exactly correct and refers to the name of the file I am trying to access exactly.
I am linking a table from another database, and for some reason a few columns are not showing up on the front end.
Access 2007
On my form I have a set of fields that can be displayed as editable or read-only depending on a "Lockout" checkbox for that record.Is there an easier way of doing this? If not, would it be smarter to create a function to do this? As it stands I'm assuming I would have to have this code run when the form loads, when the Lockout box is clicked, and whenever the record is changed just to ensure that the records are displayed as locked or unlocked appropriately.
Here's what I have:
Code:
Private Sub Lockout_Click()
If [Lockout] = True Then
Me![Customer_Text].Enabled = False
Me![ReqDesc_Text].Enabled = False
Me![MoreInfo_Text].Enabled = False
[code]....
I have these two queries with the following record count:
qryAzoogleGids has 188 records
qryCJGids has 202 records
qryAzoogleCJUnion displays 294 records and is a Union of the above two queries. So something is amiss! I am short on records, but why?
The database is attached.
Thanks,
Dave
I have a fairly simple query to weed out all the records in our database that are missing vital pieces of infomation :
Code:
SELECT Contacts.Name, Contacts.Address1, Contacts.Address2, Contacts.Town, Contacts.County, Contacts.Country, Contacts.PostCode, Contacts.Telephone, Contacts.Code
FROM Contacts
WHERE (((Contacts.Address1) Is Null) OR ((Contacts.Address2) Is Null) OR ((Contacts.Town) Is Null) OR ((Contacts.County) Is Null));
Is there anyway to count how many fields are missing for each record ?
am trying to change the tab order but have noticed that some of the fields are missing from the tab order form. I am attaching a screenshot to show which tabs are missing.

I total novice at VBA. I am trying to code a button to modify (the last) record in a subform list and then add a new record based on values in unrelated or unbound fields on the button form.
The following code is based on the first of two YouTube tutorials (this bit on the edit) and looks like it should work. Except that my Access 2010 with Visual Basic for Aplication v7 does not recognise the type definition Database or Recordset
Code:
Private Sub ANOwner_Click()
Dim cn As Integer
Dim db As Database
Dim rs As Recordset
Set db = CurrentDb

Hi!
I hope this is the right section for posting this Q.
I use Access 2003 on WinXP pro as front-end & for back-end a MySql on a Linux server. I use MyODBC to connect to the back-end and all the tables are on the back-end. The workstation is connected to the server via VPN (so the server and the station are on different locations).
Quite often I get a problem that not all records are inserted into a table. E.g. I have like 5 - 15 records (up to 10 fields) in one table and I want to transfer/copy them to another:
strSql = "INSERT INTO tblDetailNakup " & _
"SELECT tblDetailNakupTemp.* " & _
"FROM tblDetailNakupTemp;"
docmd.runsql strSql
most of the time it works OK, but from time to time a couple of records are missing.
What could be the problem? Is there any way for somekind of a check, if all has been inserted otherwise the query is repeated?
TNX in advance,
Miha
