Modules & VBA :: Static Webpage Form - Export To HTML Using Template
Mar 12, 2014
In my DB I have a query that I need to create a static webpage from, now in excel I can do the record button and bingo, but access is a lot more confusing.
I have a template named doc_tplt.html that when I do the export from the query it creates the webpage using this template.
I want to have a form with a selection of command buttons on it to export to html using the template for various queries and tables.
What is the VBA code to export the query (qry_docs) and apply the template (doc_tplt.html) and save to the same directory as the DB itself.
Good morning! I'm using Access to redesign our company's electronic phonebook. Our intranet uses SharePoint technology and our IT people have cranked our security settings up pretty high, so I can't use data access pages or ASP. Therefore, I'm going to use static HTML, producing a single page which the CEO's secretary will upload once a month, allowing our 800+ employees to view the entire phonebook at once. CTRL-F is their friend.
I've managed to design a data access page that looks very much like we want it to, but I don't know how to export it to static HTML. Can such a thing be done, or am I just being wacky? If so, is there a way to automate it so the secretary can just push a button to generate the page?
I am using Access 2007 to update a page on an external website (amongst other things) from an Access form using VBA, but that page has recently changed. I have dealt with most of the issues around this, but there is still a problem that I cannot see how to resolve. Previously all the fields on the page were uniquely named, and so I was able to assign values from my form to them using
Code: .document.all.item(fieldname).value=...
But now there appear to be identically named fields on the webpage and I cannot see how to differentiate between them in my code. I have attached a text file with the two relevant sections, containing the HTML for the two relevant sections on that page only (the code for the whole page runs to 8000+ lines and I can add the lot if really necessary) and as you will see the names for things like runs (name="result[][runs]") and wickets ("result[][wickets]") are the same in both sections. So how do I tell one from the other in my code?
Currently I have the following:
With objIE .Visible = True .... '1st innings - new HTML field names but duplicated on the webpage .Document.all.Item("result[][runs]").value = nz(Me![runs_for#]) .Document.all.Item("result[][wickets]").value = nz(Me![wickets_for#])
[Code] .....
How can I differentiate between the HTML field names in the attached file as simply as possible in my code above?
I'm using the below to merge an access form into a word template (it's a starter for 10).
That works fine. What I need to do is save the word template as HTML so I can then upload it to my website.
Dim wordApp1 As Word.Application Dim docPath1 As String Dim fileName1 As String Dim PageName As String PageName = Forms!Frm_Page_Create![Page] docPath1 = Application.CurrentProject.Path & "Merges"
I have a few problems and I want them to be able to be done from switchboard:
1. Is there a way for me to export a particular report (after selecting it) to a closed excel template, that is formatted? It would open the excel template (that has a logo and column headings), export data to below the column headings, then save the file with a unique name?
2. Also, a way to import data from an excel file, after allowing the user to select file? Only data below the column headings mentioned above. Same data will be appended to existing table.
I am working in Access 2013.I'll be performing a series of inspections at a number of intersections for a small community. The data being captured is consistent from site to site and lends itself to a database application, and what I would like to do is the following:Use forms to capture the data.Generate a report to preview the output for a single record. I may ultimately decide to set the report datasource to a query.Attach a macro to a button that exports fields from that record to a template based in MS Word.The first two bullet items I can handle with my limited Access capability. Each file has to be individually reviewed and saved, and each file will ultimately contain an electronic signature.
So I press a button on my Form1 and my tbl_customers table is exported onto a specific sheet in a templated Excel file "customer-template" that I have created.
This file has formulas on another sheet that based on the imported data.
The file is then saved to a specific location C:AccessCustomersHistory with the file name based on a date that was criteria from my original form E.g. "customers 11-02-15"
What I want to do instead is open an existing .XLSM wokrbook delete or update the 7 sheets it creates and replace them with the new query results from access.
I love this code below because it works really well but now I have a new requirement. I have a workbook that has a "dashboard" sheet that looks at the sheets from acccess and summerizes the data. So, I'd like Access to open that "template" excel workbook and delete the old sheets and put in the new ones..The required sheets to keep are called "Metrics", "Validation" and "Mara"
What I was trying to do for the past few hours was another work around which was to have Access run this code, then excel run some code to import the "dashboard" formulas but I can't get it to copy to another workbook because it links to the OLD workbook..Here is the working code that needs modding:
Code:
Option Compare Database Public Function ExportAdvanced() Dim strWorksheet As String Dim strWorkSheetPath As String Dim appExcel As Excel.Application Dim sht As Excel.Worksheet Dim wkb As Excel.Workbook Dim Rng As Excel.Range Dim strTable As String Dim strRange As String Dim strSaveName As String Dim strPrompt As String Dim strTitle As String Dim strDefault As String
Hello all.. I have an HTML template with about 15 TAGS built in to it..such as: [SKU] [MITVALUE_TITLE] [MITVALUE_ACCESSORY1] [MITVALUE_ACCESSORY2] [MITVALUE_ACCESSORY3] [MITVALUE_ACCESSORY4] [MITVALUE_ACCESSORY5] [MITVALUE_ACCESSORY6] [MITVALUE_ACCESSORY7] etc. etc. etc...
Now I would like to somehow populate those fields from the tables that i have.. (The all have a common "related" field)
................................................ I would like those fields to be put in automatically.. wether they are in a memo field within a table or a field within a query ... it really doesn't matter.... Anyone have any ideas?
In the Macro object 'ExportwithFormat' there is an option to output as an html file. There is also an option to supply a template file. I am not sure how to create a template file for html.How to create this file or point to a resource that will work for me?
my html template is built inside access.. the form button is clicked and the template opens in outlook.
it looks fine in outlook.. so i send the email.. when i receive the email in outlook, it looks fine..
here is what it looks like

however, i sent the same template to a gmail and hotmail address to see what it looks like..
it looks fine in hotmail http://www.londonheathrowcars.com/image3.jpg
however in gmail it looks like this..
http://www.londonheathrowcars.com/image1.jpg
now, these gaps are appearing in between tables..
<table>blablabl</table>GAP<table>...
now, my question is.. is there anything i can add to the code that will remove these gaps.. i know my code is messy.. at the moment however it begins with <table> and ends with </table> (the main wrap table)
i realise i may need to add some kind of html type or something, but i dont know what..
as always, if anyone can shed some light on this matter i would be ever grateful..
thank you
below is the code

I Am working on a Access database that will build a excel spread sheet, that will be uploaded to Ebay via file exchange. I am looking to build a forum that will edit parts of a Html text in a column, such as the size and color.
-Two textboxes with client first and last name -Two textboxes with a contact 'email1' and 'email2' for the client -A combobox with a list of templates to use for the email. -A checkbox to include a copy of the statement on the email.
I want the user to be able to press a button which does the following
-Sends an email to both 'email1' and 'email2'. -Attaches a secific report as PDF if the user has selected the checkbox -The body of the email includes a greeting line using the clients name from the record. -The body of the message includes below the greeting line a html email template depending on the users combobox selection.
I am writing a macro to automate the filling up some data from excel to company website. I have changed the website name in this post for data protection purpose. The excel will login for different clients by using the combination of username and password for respective clients and then some data are required to be inserted in a text box on a web page, I think the text box is on a form and form is within an iframe, within the web page. Once the data is inserted into text box, one button (Submit), which is also on the same form, is to be clicked.
On the click of a button, the updated data appears on another section, I could not make out if it is an form or frame, which is under the abovementioned form. Once we are happy with the way data appears on the web page, we have to click another button (Update), which is on the same section, to finally updating the data on website.
I wrote the following code to login to the website and then to navigate to the web page where I have to fill up the performance numbers in a text box. The first problem is how to access the text box inside the form from VBA so that the macro can write a number in that text box and how to access the button to submit the data. The HTML code, which can be seen on click of F12, is attached below. The second problem is how to access the Update button inside the other section, so that the data will be finally uploaded.
Code:
Sub LoginToCorpAccount() Dim ie As Object Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
[code]...
<div id="ssc-consumers-holder"/> -
This the line which gets highlighted when I click on the section where the data appears after clicking the submit button, and from here Update button is to be clicked.
Hello, I am here back in the forum because would like some help to define a code.
Meloncolly has already helped me but I think that I have mixed up two pieces of code and cannot find the solution.
I need to export my access data to a document in excel. I will select the recorset of the data to export, using a combo box on a form named MENU.
The excel file is a template named MASTER. Before the recorset is copied, I need to make a copy of the template via code. The copy will be the document into which copy the data. Once the data is copies, I would like an input box asking users if they would like to save the new excel file and be able to name it with the name they will type in the input box.
My last problem is that the database is used by 20 users and what happens if are all exporting to the template? Will this automatically name itselft, MASTER1, MASTER 2, etc?
This is the code that I am using and tried to put together. It does copy the data into master 1 but leaves the template opened. It also tells me that there is something missing.
THanks:

I have a form with fields that contain the address/postcode etc of the person in question, and I also have a template letter that needs to have said persons address/postcode etc at the sending stage after a button is clicked.
Can i make an html of login form, whose data is saved in access as back end. I am curious to know. but of course simultaneous saving is considered yes in here...
I am trying to create a button that opens up a webpage. I get how to create a hyperlink on a button. The problem is, I need to open a specific page depending on the information in a text box.
The text box displays the tracking number for the current record. That number is populated automatically via a control source. The problem is that I need to open different web pages depending on the tracking number displayed. For example, UPS has a specific start to their number (1ZX....). Other trucking companies have a specific format, also.
So how do I tell it to look at the tracking number and then open the corresponding web page?
I've been tasked with coming up with a table structure that will allow me to make a form that lists the available static ip's in my various network range blocks (we have multiple off-site locations and use different ip ranges at each site).
I have the vision in my head of the form, you would select the block range from a drop down list, then see all the available addresses in that range. From there you could assign mark one as used and it is no longer listed on the form (I'm thinking a simple yes/no checkbox). What my co-workers would love to see is if there were entering a new PC assignment and put one of those available IP addresses into that forms record (different table too) then the ip would get deleted from the available pool as well.
I am just checking to see if anyone knows of a way (or a plugin download) that will allow me to create some sort of box that has a pre-specified website in it. It would be something like www.usps.gov, because sometimes our reps need to look something up, and it would be nice to have it right there. But the website that they will use has a login/password. So i will need some sort of "reset" button that will take them back to the main page in case it times out. Anyone know of anything?
I am new to Access so forgive me if this is a dumb question. I want to export a report to html but I want for it to be wider. Right now I can export to html but each record gets wrapped so that all the text can fit on a single screen. I would like for my webpage to scroll left-to-right so that each record only takes up a single line.
Here is an example of a report that I exported: AudioVideo Report
As you can see the Album and Source fields are wrapped so that all the text can fit on the screen. Is there any way that I can make this same webpage but have every record appear on a single line? That way there would be a scroll bar on the bottom of the webpage and you'd just have to scroll to the right in order to read all the information.
Here is an example of how I'd like for it to look: AudioVideo Report 2
Again, sorry if this is a stupid question. Thanks for your help.
I'm having to recode some old MS Access DBs so they will run in the following environments:
Office 2000 on WinXP Office 2003 on WinXP Office 2010 on WinXP Office 2000 on Win7 Office 2003 on Win7 Office 2010 on Win7
When I wrote my code for Office 2000 on WinXP things were simple because directory paths were the same across all computers and I could hard code pathing when using a shell command to launch other files.
My new approach is to make a function call to the Windows registry to determine the default executable and path for opening a file based upon its extension (see apicFindExecutable in basWindows API module).
I'm able to use code to create a shell call and debug print it to the immediate window. If I put my cursor in the immediate window at the end of the shell call and hit [enter] the external file will open as desired. If I try to open the external file directly through code, I get a file not found error.
To recreate the error take the following steps:
(1) browse to files that are accessible from your computer (2) click the PREPARE DATA AND OPEN MAIL MERGE DOCUMENTS command button
Shell function call is made by the fnOpenFile function located in the basOpenFile module. There has to be a trick here that I'm missing.
I try to open a web page with a form in access 2007. During the loading of the page it shows me 2 security error messages.
I tried to change the properties in Activex and especially the Silent property from No to Yes but this is not possible. In the next restart of the form restores the original settings.
When i open the same page with Internet Explorer it doesn't show any error. I have attached the database example to see exactly what happening.
I have the form (PROJECT DETAILS) that displays a specific record's information, one record at a time.I would like to click a button to export 5 specific fields (name, phone, address) of that form ("Project Details"), based on the PK "AssignNr", and then insert those fields in an already created Excel form that has those fields blank, but other fields filled in.
And then, as part of the same macro, I want to have the Print pop-up come up in the Excel form to select where/how that file will get printed.I've tried exporting from the Project Details form, but it exports all the records. And then I am not sure how / where to code the vlookup formula (if that's even necessary) to take the data from the exported file, into the existing Excel form that needs to be filled in.
Can this even be done in one macro, or do I need to create two - one to export data from Access to Excel. And then another in Excel to vlookup the details from the exported file, into the existing Excel file.
It would be nice if I didn't have to put in what the vlookup criteria is. (i.e. AssignNr (which is the PK)) - if it could just be taken from the PROJECT DETAILS form's current record selection.
In access i want to create a button that can export a form to a .pdf file i know this is possible true VBA, and i tried to google but all those vba codes do not work.
I have been at this for almost 3 weeks now and I'm having great difficulties trying to get this right and working. First let me explain what I am doing and what I am trying to do.
Firstly, I am making a Maintenance database using MS access software, what I have are tables, forms and no queries or report existing so far. The forms and tables all work correctly.
After the form (Job request) has been completed I need to save/export into PDF so I am able to hyperlink it against its existing asset card elsewhere.
now what I have done is Created button, on event "on click" I have tried to go to macro builder
ExportWithFormatting Objet Type: Form Object Name: FrmMachineFault/GenMaint Output format: PDF Output file: Auto Start: No Template File: Encoding: Output Quality: Print
when I click this button it opens to save to and it works perfectly but I have to manually type the file name when it gets to the Save to section.
What I want it to do is define the name by the existing fields in the open form. Example Closed date, Effected area, Asset and title.
