I have a query that runs based on a parameter a user selects on a form.
I want to dynamically create the sendobject file name based on the parameter the user selects.
Example:
My form has a parameter named medicine. When the user checks the checkbox next to medicine it runs a query for records labeled as medicine but sends the e-mail output as the query name. I want something like medicine.txt etcc...
I currently have an invoice report that runs through my database which is e-mailed to clients (automatically through vba), and then saved to a specific file path.
I'm currently having an issue with the saving part of the process with certain clients who have illegal characters in their names - for example, "Client / Other Information" where the '/' is causing the save to fail.
I'm trying to find a way to change the file name of the save file for clients with these illegal characters in their names. I would prefer not to take only part of the name (as some clients are listed as "Town/Village of...") but if there is no other way then there is no other way.
Been hunting a round looking for some code that will output my access report to excel but more inportantly add a unique field from the report to the name of the file. example would be [FileName] & [ReferenceNo].xls.
the following code saves my report in a folder called test as a pdf file with the name MyReport. I have a string variable called RepName. How can I make the report get saved under that name.
I tried DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "Estimate", acFormatPDF, "c:Test&MyReport&.pdf" but it dosent work.
This error occurs at the OutputTo line. This code is part of an user form with a button “save as PDF”. When this code is run, the report is visible as an example (as meant to be) on the screen. The code stops at the OutputTo line.
When I use DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, StrReport, acFormatPDF, StrDocumentName,, False the problem still exists.
I tried to save the report manually by Preview > Export > PDF. The preview is OK, saving as PDF results in the same error 2501. This may lead to the conclusion that this problem is not caused by the VBA code.
I verified whether user write rights are OK, and whether a default printer is available. Both are OK. The report consists of 1 page. When this very same application is used with Access 2010, everything functions as expected.
I have a public sub routine which requires parameters to be passed to it when I call it from an access form. When I try to enter the code to call the sub I get a compile error. I've also tried calling it from another sub in the same module but get the same compile error - see below.
Code: Sub EmailData(Datafile As String, To_mail As String, CC_mail As String, Subject_mail As String) 'code to use variables passed in End Sub
I have 28 combo boxes on a form, which I want to insert data into the table as they are changed. Each one will pass the same sets of data just with different parameters which come from the form.
Rather than putting the same code to insert on each of the 28 combo boxes I thought it would be easier to create a function to do it and pass the parameters to it through a sub on the AfterUPdate event of the combo box.
I need to pass 4 parameters, if I only put 1 in there it works fine, but when I start putting more in it doesnt work and I get compile errors or syntax errors.
Sub routine:
Code: Private Sub cboMonday1_AfterUpdate() If Me.cboMonday1 = 1 Then Me.cboMonday1.BackColor = vbGreen Me.cboMonday1.ForeColor = vbBlack
I was wondering is it possible to schedule in windows somewhere to open up my syncfrontend.mdb and then run a routine that i have written inside of that mdb.
The routine is a huge database syncronisation task that needs running every hour, it's all there ready to be run but just need a way to get to it and run it automatically on the hour every hour.
The problem is lately; while testing I am running multiple queries in a routine. When it fails; its hard to identify which query has the problem. So I hit control break; debug and try to find it. After I fix it; I debug and reset; i get this continuing hourglass thing in the form of a spinning circle until I close and reopen the database. I think I need better error handling but not something really complicated because I need to put it in quite a few routines throughout the database.
I have a totalquery that runs fine and give me the sum for both fields I'm looking for but I can't get the outputs to fill the fields on the form. I have tried the Dcount query in the control source but that just returns an error and locks up access.
Code: SELECT [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, Sum([Tble-wcDelays].HoursDelay) AS SumOfHoursDelay FROM [Tble-wcDelays] GROUP BY [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, [Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID HAVING ((([Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID)=[Forms]![Frm-ePlusCent]![cleanID]));
I have a control button on a form that outputs the current record to disk using an on click event. The user currently has to select the format (rtf) the path and the filename and I would like to be able to automate this process.
The format should be rtf, the path will always be the same and I would like the file name to comprise the unique record number (4 digits) followed by the current date string (format ddmmyy).
I think is just a matter of setting some parameters after the DoCmd code event that saves the report to file but I have had a go but can't get the syntax right.
Any ideas how to automate this process to eliminate the risk of user errors?
I know I am being particularly stupid, but I can't work out how to do the following: I have a table in which is recorded information about orders for customers. These fields are for orders of meat and poultry. As customers may wish to order more than one Turkey, I have created three fields called Turkey, Turkey 2, and Turkey 3. The data that is input is the weight of the Turkey e.g. 22 (lbs), 16 (lbs).
When it comes to ordering the turkeys, I need to produce a report which shows, by weight, the number of turkeys needed. This will need to add the number of turkeys in each of the 3 fields and order them by weight.
I've just got lost, trying to work out whether I base my report on the table or on a query based on the table. Help!!!
Is is feasable to output a report with variable data to html/email. I would like to be able to send my quotations and invoices via email to my customers as many are now requesting I use email. At present I have to print it as PDF then open Outlook, then attach the PDF document etc etc.......
Any assistance or suggestions greatfully welcomed.
It has been a while since I last used Access, recently I've used mySQL and PHP.
First a little description of what I'm trying to accomplish: I have three tables...
tblImport - has the fields: TestID(PK), i001, i002, i003, i004 ... i025 Note: i00# field contains the multiple choice answer (i.e. 1,2,3,4,5) as imported from a CSV file.
tblStudentAsr - has the fields TestID(PK), StudentID(PK), 001, 002, 003 ... 025. Note: 00# containes the multiple choice answer (i.e. 1,2,3,4,5) as enterd by the student.
tblResult - TestID(PK), StudentID(PK), a001,a002, a003 ... a025. Note: the fields a00# have the datatype set to "yes/no"
What I'm trying to do is compare the answers in tblImport to the answers in tblStudentAsr then output the result to tblResult .
Here is some dirty pseudocode: if i001 = 001 then INSERT 1 INTO tblResult else INSERT 0 INTO tblResult
The above example gets a little repetitive since I would have to do that for each question. Is it possible to put the answer fields of each table into a recordset then compare them? (I have heard that using rs's can be a little slow. Although there is only a max of 25 questions the number of students can be quite large)
Alternativly, can I accomplish this using only SQL statements?
What would be the best way to attack this?
Any suggestions (or alternate suggestions) would be greatly appreciated.
I looked thru the forums and didn't seems to get what I needed;
I want a count query to give me all fields in "group by" column, and assign 0 to where there are no count for certain fields.
I tried to set Outputallfield to "yes" but got an error message saying that there is a data type mismatch. The query ran just fine when outputallfield was set "no" and gave right results.
I have several reports that creates price sheets for all of my customers. It is a report with multiple subreports within, and I am trying to create a process to seperate them and export them all into [Customer Name].pdf. I have tried to scrap some code together from various forums, and it has been unsuccessful.
For example, one of the reports "rptPriceSheetQuarterly", has a field "txtCustomerName", that feeds the queries for the other subreports. I would like to create a new PDF when that field changes.
I understand I need some sort of looping code that will cut the report up dump them all into one folder, but I am totally out of my element here.
I am not even sure where to start with this small problem that will make a big difference.
I have a database that produces yearend accounts, its highly specialized to my industry.
The year end accounts have schedules these can be 1 to 3
On my form I have it set up for 3 schedules, but can be used for 1 and 2 schedules accounts.
However when it come to the reports for layout reasons 3 of the 14 reports needed are tailored to a 1, 2 or 3 schedule, and i have created reports and buttons on the form according to the number of schedules for that account.
What I want to know is this, I have a field on my form that states the number of schedule for that account, is it possible that if say the account i am working on is a 2 schedule account, that it disables the 1 and 3 buttons?
Hi Have scoured the forum and have found people with a similar problem, but I just can't seem to get my head round this.
Basically I have a table with various fields, one of these fields is a sign off field where the user enters their name once the record has been reviewed.
I want to count all the records that do not have a name entered in this particular field thus are null/blank. I then want this figure to appear on a form thus representing the total number of records still to be reviewed.
I have tried doing this with various methods with no joy.
I am in need of assistance with Microsoft Access. In the reporting function of Access I am trying to have a summarization total of indirect time and direct time based off a Auditor Timesheet form developed. On the report I am able to see both the direct time and the indirect time hours seperate per auditor based on the query that is run to seperate direct and indirect hours and each individual auditor stats.
but the problem I am having is trying to summarize on the report the total direct and indirect hours as a whole.
Please let me know if this a simple solution by building an expression in the field for the report or some type of VBA code input which would suffice?
