Modules & VBA :: Save As Variable File Name
Jun 13, 2013
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 might be able to get "super easy mail merge" to work, but the problem is i want clicking the "merge" button to launch a file chooser box- so i can navigate to the word doc i want to use for the merge (destination doc will change with the currently selected record- i'm not merging a single record, however).
Basically i want to do exactly what right clicking on a table/query, then choosing "export" then choosing "merge with word" does (access 2007).
Can't do as a report because we may have "complex" letters- with graphics and/or tables.
why is something that is a simple right-click menu option so difficult to automate??

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()'

I have a folder which holds 1000s of pictures organised in subfolders, for example:
D:~AI Database Print Scans2009family and
D:~AI Database Print Scans2009holiday
And so forth. In total at the moment 17 main subfolders, each of which hold another 2-3 subfolders.
I am putting together a database to bring pictures together with all sorts of details. I import the picture via hyperlink and complete the various fields. All that works fine but there are a lot of pictures! And it gets confusing to see which ones have already been entered into the database and which ones haven’t.
One solution for this is to copy the pictures that have been “completed” to another folder. I have found a way to do that:
Dim fs As Object
Dim oldPath As String, newPath As String
oldPath = Forms!frmPrintDetails.txtPath1
newPath = "D:~AI Database Print ScansCompleted_Entries"
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
fs.CopyFile oldPath, newPath
Set fs = Nothing
Works fine, but the problem is that I loose the subfolder structure, it copies all pictures to the same main folder. I’d like to maintain the subfolder structure and add code to create the correct subfolders and next copy the picture. With the different paths I’m lost. I don’t know how to extract the correct path in code. I’d also like to either rename or remove the picture once I have completed entry of the details. The problem I have again is that I don’t know how to code for a changing path.

Hi. I just ran across this forum. It looks like I could learn alot here.
I have been searching for some code, and have found two of the three items that I need to make this work. To make this simple, I have two forms and two tables. One form for Contacts (with addresses) and one form that has the Contacts information together with a list of their responsibilities. Say I have the Responsibilities form open, and type in a contact name in an unbound combo box. I believe this was the case, as the unbound combo box was being used to update the contact information down below on the form. I'd like to invoke an event procedure if the contact isn't in the list. I've found various vbscript to handle this in the "not in list" property. If they are not in the list, I'd like it to save the name typed in, open the Contacts form to add the new contact and their information. This I have done. When I close that form, I'd like the procedure to go back to the original Responsibilities form, requery the table (or is it really requery the combo box?), insert the new name into the combo box, and update what contact information resides on the Responsibilities form.
I've seen info on the requery portion, as I've run into the same problem of the name not being in the combo box, unless I close the Responsibilities form and then open it back up.
But I haven't seen an example where everything is put together with saving the contact name (as a variable???) and then putting the contact name in the Contacts form and then back in the combo box on the Responsibilities form.
If someone has an example, or could steer me in the right direction, I'd sure appreciate it. I understand some of this stuff, but don't really have the vbscript understanding. But I'm good at using examples with prewritten code and manipulating to work with my forms and field names.
Thanks in advance for your advise.

So I have this relatively simple problem: I need to create a button that once clicked will open the Save As dialog box and allow the user to save a copy of the current database where he wishes. The filename should contain todays date in DDMM format along with some pre-set text e.g. DDMM PresetText.
I am using Access 2010.

Error 91 - Object variable or With block variable not set
I am getting this error telling me that an object variable is not set.
I know which variable it is but when I step through the debugger it sets the variable and all is fine? Issue is that public variable of a class is not getting set when the VBA Editor is not open?

I look at a lot of files to see when they were last updated. I wanted to write a generic procedure to manage that so ..
Code:
Public fDate As Variant
Public vField As String
Public vFile As String
'GTSdata
vField = "txt_gts_data"
[Code] ....
What I hoped Me.vField would do is update the date field [txt_gts_data] on my form with the date the file was last saved.
i.e. me. txt_gts_data = fDate
What actually happens is the variable vfield gets updated from "txt_gts_data" to 19/08/2014 then later code falls over because the fieldname is lost .
Me.[vField] corrects itself to me.vField (and does not work)
Me!vfield falls over (cannot find the field vField, not surprising J)
How do I say update the contents of the variable, not the variable itself?

Hi guys, little question.
I really like Access, I can manage well with it. But I have a problem, and I really wonder why this kind of thing happens in such a professional program using a lot of important data.
Actually the program saves automatically, and I don't like it. For example I try a little something, delete some stuff, replace by something else, and when I quit the program, it doesn't say a thing, and when I come back, the unimportant stuff I changed is still there, and what was replaced is lost. Why? Is there any way to force the program to ask if I want to save the changes?... It's really annoying and I really don't feel secure with my data with this system.
Thanks for your clues! :)

Hello,
I am using a useful function to save data of a form using the snapshot utility. I open the form, add or change data and sent the form to other users via e-mail. The snapshot uses a report. The code to do this is the following:
Me.Refresh
DoCmd.SendObject acReport, "EmailmyForm", "SnapshotFormat(*.snp)", "", "", "", "Action Required", "Please take action on the attached case.", False, ""
I was now thinking if it is possible to save the shapshot report as a file directly into a selected folder on my S drive (ex. S0000abmyfolder. I will need that the file is automatically named for my with the SSN present on the form.
Any idea or help? Thanks.

Good Afternoon,
Does anyone know where I can find a sample db that will let the user do the following:
Selected a file from their computer and upload to a the same folder as the db?
I am building an Investigation database. This function will allow the user to attach file to an investigation. (the files will be stored in a folder and logged on a table)
Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Bones

Using Access 2000, I have a macro to generate a report by updating various make-table queiries. I would like for the macro to print the report to an Adobe PDF file and save the file as the database name.
When I manually print the report, it gives me the opition of selecting printers and Adobe PDF is listed as a printer. After selecting the "printer", a "Save As PDF" menu pops up and currently it lists the Access Report Name. I would like to use the database name as the name of the PDF file.
In short, when I execute the "Generate Report" macro, I want the end product to be a PDF file using the database name as the PDF file name.
