Modules & VBA :: Create Single Master Control Program That Runs Each Individual Application
Dec 23, 2014
I have a series of 7 separate Access 2010 programs that are designed to run under the control of a scheduler, and they must always finish. Errors are trapped and logged but mustn't stop the processes completing.
What I'm trying to do now is to create a single master control program that runs each individual application, one after the other, in order. And each individual app cannot start until the previous one is finished.how to call a separate Access program and know when it has finished.
I have been reading a lot about Access Runtime and the problems that occur when a runtime application is installed on a machine that already has a full version of Access. Any program that can be used to create an .EXE type file for an access application that will eliminate all of these problems? The cost of the compiler program is not a major concern if it works!!!
I have create my first program. When you click on the program it runs (I am an expert now!) But when I want it to run, I want it to hide the toolbars on the top so no one can alter it. Any suggestion?
I am looking to perform a mail merge from access to Publisher. I have linked everything together and got everything looking the way that I want it to look however...
What I want to do is when I perform the mail merge I would like publisher to save a copy of each individual record from the database as a specific file based on one field of the mail merge.
I will try to clarify...
One of the mail merge fields is ClientAccountNumber I would like the merge to save a copy of the publisher file into c:mailmerge as a PDF including the year 2014.
So this file(s)for example would look like C:mailmerge123456 - 2014.pdf C:mailmerge123457 - 2014.pdf etc...
Code: Sub MailMerge() ' ' Macro1 Macro Dim TempDocCreate Dim FileNameTemp As MailMergeDataField Set FileNameTemp = Application.ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DataSource.DataFields.Item("Box 22 Rcp Acct No") With ActiveDocument.MailMerge.DataSource Application.ActiveDocument.ExportAsFixedFormat pbFixedFormatTypePDF, Filename:= _ "L:Operations DatabaseProjects1042PublisherPDF2011 Merge" & "FileNameTemp" & " - 2011" & ".pdf" End With
I once used a program, when you click this .mdb file, it opens a main Form interface that user can run programs such as view report etc. That is, all tables, querys reports, other forms are behind the sence (user does not need to know them).
Could anyone tell me how to do this? Thank you for yoru help.
I have created a database that generates a report with customer debts. I have a lot of customers and in a report each page is a different customer with individual debts info. What i would like to do is to create a button and distribute individual report page as pdf to individual customer by email. I'm using Lotus notes. I have searched the forums i found something but it was not what i was looking for.
I have a report , which i print every month and it consist of of more than 500 pages. This report is based on a Query called L_Inv2. i want to filter and loop this report based on the filed AccountReference with in the query. And save as PDF for individual accounts.
i have also created another query based on the L_Inv2, Called L_Inv4 which only got the record of account numbers as a AccountReference
i am trying to use below code but some how this is not working.
Code: Private Sub Command43_Click() Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Hi, We have quite a large Db which always requires the updating of new features etc. I update some bits while my collegue works on others. I was just wondering if there's a good way of "merging" the 2 Db's together? Is this the syncronising bit, or does that just refer to data? Basically, we shouldn't update the same forms/ queries as we are assigned specific jobs so no they're not going to effect each other. It's just that when we come together it's a case of "OK, what have you updated?" and we have to through each section, hopefully we've written them all down! :o Any suggestions as always, much appreciated.

Hi all, i hope this is posted in the right place first of all :) apologies if not..
I have about 8 individual databases which will be used simultaneously by users. I wish to be able to have full control over these databases from a 'master database' including being able to delete the data in there (possibly import fresh data but not 100% needed) and export data to be analysed in Excel etc I figure this can be done with access but if i'm on the totally wrong track i would be appreciative if someone could give me a push in the right direction..
If any more infomation is needed then let me know.
I am using Access 2003. I have developed a split (front and back ends), replicable database. As I make changes to the design master, I want to either keep old copies of the design master or ideally, maintain the design master under source code control (e.g.:CVS). This would allow me to be able to retrieve older versions of the database. The problem occurs what I make a copy of the design master, or when I try to pull out of my source code control system (CVS) an older version of the design master. When I open any of these copies, Access thinks this database is a replica and will not let me make any changes to the design.
Is there a way around this problem?
Or am I trying to do something in Access that does not make sense?
My bound master form has bound subform in it and both of them has linked fields. In the master form i've placed a checkbox which if unchacked will lock and disable a textbox in the SUBFORM, and if checked will enable and unlock the textbox and fill it with a calculation result, which will then be passed on to the underlying table.
Now, suppose in the master form (named X), i have A (checkbox) and B (textbox with numeric value) and in the subform (named Y), i have C & D (both textboxes with numeric values). Hence if A is checked, I'd like D to return the result of - "B*C". Or else D will remain locked and disabled.
I have a music database in which I keep track of my CDs and how many times I've listened to them. I have a report that uses grouping to show me the total listens for each artist for each year - the totals are in a group footer, with nothing in the detail section of the report. It looks something like this:
The first line is the column header showing years (last 2 digits for space reasons).
The second and subsequent lines are created in the group footer section, first is the artist name, then the Sum of listens for all titles by that artist in the year given ([Sum of Listens1994]).
This report works perfectly.
Here's what I want to do, and I can't get it to work:
In the above lines of data, let's say that the earliest title for BAND1 is from 1975, and the earliest title for BAND2 is from 2001. My yearly counts start in 1994. Therefore, there were listens for BAND1 prior to 1994, but there weren't any listens for BAND2 prior to 2001.
GOAL: Instead of showing "00" on the BAND2 line for years 1994-2000, I want them blank.
I've put a conditional format code in OnFormat for the group footer section, telling Access to turn visibility off for the text box control ([Sum of Listens1994] etc) if the [Earliest] field (which contains 2001) is greater than the year being displayed (1994 first, and so on). This, which seems like it should work, makes no difference. Oddly, if I put a F9 code break on the If statement, it never breaks, which makes me believe the code is never even being executed.
I do have prior experience with controlling field visibility in forms and reports, so the concepts aren't new to me. I feel like the big difference with this one is that it's in the group footer section rather than the detail section. [Access 2013]
I have a little problem in creating a msg box that then activate a code. How can I do? I was doing
Private Sub Chiusura_Pratica_Click() MsgBox "Bla Bla Bla " _ VbMsgBoxStyle.vbYesNo If Response = vbYes Then Me.Stato.Value = "A Scadere" Me.Assegnato_a.Value = "" Else MyString = "No" End If End Sub
I have a search from that has an option group, text fields, and a checkbox where the users selects a variety of option that generates a query. If the query return at least on record a split form (form on top/datasheet on bottom) is displayed and the form has an Edit and Close button. If the query returns no records the form is still displayed except the buttons are not visible.
If I knew the result of the query and then made a decision whether to open the form or release control back to the search box that would be great. To open the form I am using VBA with the DoCmd.OpenForm(,,"MyQuery","criteria") command.I thought about using the DLookup command and evaluate the return value for null to be used to control the program flow.
I am trying to create a form with a button attached to each record that would allow the user to click the button and it would automatically open outlook and fill in the TO:, SUBJECT: and BODY: fields. Here is the code that I currently have:
Code: Private Sub Command33_Click() Dim strEmail As String Dim strMsg As String Dim oLook As Object Dim oMail As Object Set oLook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application") Set oMail = oLook.CreateItem(0)
[code]...
There are two issues I keep running into:
1. This code opens outlook and populates all of the fields but pastes the email incorrectly. Instead of pasting just the email (email@email.com) it pastes the html tags as well (email@email.com#mailto:email@email.com#) which means that the user would have to delete everything between the #'s in order to send the email every time.
2. I currently have the email BODY pulling from a table but this obviously limits what I can do. I would like to simply encode the BODY within the VBA code. The setup I am looking for is: one paragraph a blank line a hyperlink to a website a blank line another paragraph
The task is (1) output an Access query to Excel (2) overwrite that file if it already exists (3) apply specific formatting to the header row and the other rows in Excel. I have cobbled the code together from two sources. The beginning and end are adapted from code on btabdevelopment.com but the large insert in the middle is code I got form a project a former colleague had done. But he's no longer around.
The problem: I click the button and everything works OK. The file is created and formatted just how I want. If I click the button a second time though, it seems to run OK, but when I open the file it is NOT formatted. However, theres another window behind it called Book 1 which has all the data and all the correct formatting it just hasnt been saved. If I click it a third time I get an error message that says Object variable or With block variable not set. Im not even 100% all that is accurate because I have tried it a multitude of ways, closing and re-opening the form, closing and re-opening Access itself, starting with Excel open or closed, never with the destination excel file open though. I dont seem to get exactly the same behaviour any two times. But as far as I can see, if I close and re-open Access, it always works the first time. So I can live with it.
Code: Private Sub cmdExport_Click() On Error GoTo Errhandler Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim oExcel As Object Dim oBook As Object Dim oSheet As Object
I am using MS Access to develop a DB application for one of my clients. Now I want to give it my client in a form of .exe file in which he can only use the menubar I have designed. I dont want him to see the MS Access toolbars
Is there anyway to create update patches for the access application? If the users are going to use the application for entering data, how can I just provide them update patches for th application if I make some changes in application in future, is it possible in access? I dont want them to change the application by themselves, so I can just make some updates and provide them, without causing any disruption in their datas.
how to create web application using ms access. my requirement is i have an inhouse developed retail invoice application ( ms access 2003) which i need to move to web based.
I have a database where I record grades for my students. I would like to create a macro so that every time I record a grade as an "F", the student will receive an email that will contain an attachment of their scores. A lot of the information I want to include in this email is in several different tables. So to make it easier, I have created a query that lists the following:
Students name (SName) Student's email (SEmail) ID# of the form I use to record their grades (ID) ID# of the studen'ts work (WorkID) Date of their work (CreatedDate) Date I graded their work (AuditDate) Grade="F" (Accuracy)
How can I create something that will automate emailing of this information--to the individual student with only their information? I am using Access 2010. If I can't automatically send the emails, I would like to create a button in my audit screen that will send a report containing that student's information to them.
I am using an attendance management system with a DB in Access. Now I want to create APPLICATION_ID automatically by continuing number. For example, I have a table called "LEAVE_APPLICATION" and the structure is below:
Now I want to update the table by adding the below data
00360 2 00360 2 01390 14 01390 1
How can i create the APPLICATION_ID field auto generating while pasting additional data. It should be numbering continually from the last record (Grouping to be applied for EmpID)like below:
I was looking to see if there was an easy way to create a user front end desktop application for a small access database.I have three users on different computers i would like them to input or amend data within one table of the access database.
