Modules & VBA :: Reading Registry On Windows 7 X64 With Access 2010 X86?
Nov 22, 2013
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 have a database which is now reasonably finished and am looking slightly ahead at how it can be accessed by the staff. The first clinic has two stations that need constant access to it, namely the clinic area and the reception area.The second clinic is about 3 kilometers distance away from the main clinic and will also need constant access which, I presume,would be by hosting the database on a Windows based Server, to which all three locations would connect and then be able to use the database directly. When I say Windows Server I mean as could be used to host a web site on the Internet rather than use of an internal Intranet system.
Should I split the database and only host the backend part on the server (i.e. the tables)?Does the whole database need to be uploaded to the Windows Server?Is any other software required to make this work?I presume that I would need to introduce record locking? Is this easily done and, if so, how?
I need a search function that will not just open files based on their names but also drill into the documents and search based on what's in it. The only way I can see now is to use the Window's search function (the one at the start button). Is it possible to call that function into access?how do I re-create the search style of the windows search bar for a specific folder? Something like streamreader
My customer has Access programs that work on their Windows 98 OS PC's, but when they try to use them on Windows 2000 OS PC's they will not work. The programs I believe were originally written in Access 97 and now they have Access 2000 on the PC's.
By not working I mean the following -
The Access program allows them to enter a document name and then the file opens in Word - BUT - when they use it in Windows 2000 it does not open the document at all. It says file not found in Windows 2000 and the file does exist.
** The reason they have Access opening files is that Access keeps track of them for auditing purposes.
Now here is something that I want to mention. On PC's that were upgraded from Windows 98 to Windows 2000 the programs work.
Can anyone here tell me what is missing from 98 to 2000 that would do this.
I have the following code which successfully opens the dialog box with filters however when I add a function with an Excel import, the filters do not work at all (no files are shown even though they exist in the directory that's opened within the dialog box). If I manually type in the filter (i.e. *.x) it still shows the files.The function at the bottom was provided by cheekybuddha from another form, I'd be lost on getting the Excel file imported into Access.Here's the VBA code (the Function is also included at bottom):
Code: Private Sub Command0_Click() On Error GoTo PROC_ERR Dim strpathtofile As String Dim strTable As String, strBrowseMsg As String Dim strFilter As String, strInitialDirectory As String Dim blnHasFieldNames As Boolean
I have an application in Access 2003. It uses VBA to open an Excel file. The file has one tab for charts and one for data. The program counts how many charts needs to be created, one per project. It then will place 4 charts per tab, creating as many chart tabs as necessary, keep one data tab. The program then writes the data and links the data to the corresponding chart. It will also write legends, and scale the charts. This all works fine under Access 2003/Excel 2003.The error I get is "Application-defined error or object defined error".The line that gives me the error is: Set chCopy = xlsheet.ChartObjects(idx).I am using the Multi-Chart option frmChartType = 1
Now I'm moving to the Office 2010 world. It is not working. Below is the code I run to do the magic. I guess something is happening in Excel 2010 that is different from 2003.I found when I comment out the error line, and other lines dependent on chCopy it creates the charts, but all the charts are pictures and not charts!!
Code: Public Sub GenerateChart() ' Generate an Excel chart Dim db As Database Dim rst As DAO.Recordset Dim xlapp As Object
I would like to update the following code I have been using to send emails, from Access 2010 via Outlook 2010, to include my signature block with hard returns in between each line and a few above the signature.
Lets say the signature would be: My Name My Company Name My phone number My Reference
I tried next to: stMessage = Me![EmailMessage] &"My Name" & Chr(10) & Chr(13) & "My Company Name"
etc.
It does not work..
Here is the coding :
Code: Private Sub SendEmail_Click() On Error GoTo ProcErr Dim stLinkCriteria As String
Here is my project: For a duty plan the employees are assigned to positions in a certain area.
For example: Name. Position. Description. Map Brown. 1. backdoor. 1 Miller. 3. frontdoor. 1 Norman. 4. left wing. 2 Hoover. 6. right door. 2 ....
Now I want to show the positions within circles on the maps, with the names within dynamically, as the employees change every week.
The coordinates of the positions do not change, but not every position is needed in every duty plan.
So, my idea is to draw all possible shapes on all possible maps and make them visible or not depending on the assignement.
The duty plan is my table in access and looping through all records I would like to fill the needed shapes.
All maps are on slides (40 slides and about 400 positions) and should be filled accordingly.
I can open my presentation, although I only could do it by late binding ( a reference to ppt 14 obj. Lib fails with an error!! - why??) but I cannot any solution how to loop through the records and do the job.
I want to enable a few fields when i click on the Add button on my form.I have change the onclick to Event Procedure to be able to add the following code
Code: Category_Desc.Enabled = True
My Category_Desc field get enable as expected but the Add button no long work
Code: Private Sub add_Click() Category_Desc.Enabled = True Me.Refresh End Sub
The following code browse from one form to another and shows the record details I select in the first form which is what I need, however, the problem is it only shows that record and will not allow me go to next or previous records when pressing NEXT or PREVIOUS by saying this is the First Record or this is the Last Record.
Anyway to modify it to allow me navigate to other records.
Dim txtJobNumber As Integer Private Sub Job_Number_DblClick(Cancel As Integer) 'Store Job_Number in txtJobNumber variable and display message to show value. txtJobNumber = [Job_Number]
I have a database that, I would like to add a button that performs a active directory lookup. I would like it to check a username with Active Directory, and auto populate a few fields.
First Name Last Name Manager Department
This is my first database and I have very little exp using VBA.
how to make this two fields in my form to say Y or N if the field is Not Null. Like if the field is not null = Y Else = N for the two fields. I have a picture to show what i'm talking about.
I opened a 2007 Access db in Access 2010. This DB worked perfectly in Access 2007, but when I opened it in 2010 my recordset.recordcount no longer works.
This is what I have:
rsGetInst was previously defined Dim intInstCount as integer Dim rsGetInst As New ADODB.Recordset rsGetInst.CursorLocation = adUseClient rsGetInst.CursorType = adOpenDynamic rsGetInst.LockType = adLockOptimistic
rsGetInst.open "Select * from tblInstruction where CustID = " & intCustomerID intInstCount = rsGetInst.recordcount
At this point a get a "type Mismatch" error, and it is happening in all my recordsets recordcount.
Is there a command or reference that needs to be change when using Access 2010. When I compared the references the only difference is that in 2007 we reference Microsoft Access 12.0 Object Library and in 2010 is Microsoft Access 14.0 Object Library.
I have a split db with tables in the back end and my forms, reports, code etc. in the front end.
I encrypted the back end with a password. That worked fine.
I deleted and relinked my tables to the encrypted back end. That worked fine as well.
I have a function that will disable the shift key bypass. If I run that in my front end db then I can't save it as an accde because I can't get to the HOME screen. If I save it as an accde first then I can't run my 'disable shift key bypass' function because I can't get to the modules!
How can I secure a split Access 2010 database so that the user cannot execute shift bypass on the front end or make any changes to the code?
Previously in Excel / Access 97 / 2003 I made a little tool that would search for files in specified locations - I modified the code so that it would search for files based on what was entered in cells.
I believe a lot of the old code doesn't work in Access 2010 and it seems like a lot of the old file searching code I used to use no longer works.
Is there code available that searches a directory and lists results?
In Access 2010 is it possible to have a tblKits with a column on it Reactions 8. Then on a form a field Used. When thee user inputs 2 into the Used field can the Reactions on in the tblKits be updated to 6 automatically?
I am trying to export a table from Access 2010 into an existing multiple tab excel 2010 spreadsheet.I want it to overwrite the "data staging" tab each time.I have it adding the tab into the existing spreadsheet but it names it "data_staging" however if I run this a second time I get excel found unreadable content in 'data staging' Do you want to recover the contents of this workbook? if you trust the source of this workbook click yes.
Code I am using
'export to existing spreadsheet data staging Private Sub Command5_Click() DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, 10, "Phx Data Staging", "F:My DocumentsWorkSGN est est data staging.xlsx", False, "data staging" MsgBox ("Completed")
I am using Access 2010.Most of the time a tenant pays his exact rent. When that happens, I currently type in the payment (taken form the Rent field) and date of payment (current date) into a form. The date should not change.
I would like to place a checkbox into the form. If checked, the rent would be entered into the payment field and payment date (current date) would be entered automatically. Otherwise, I would just enter in the payment and date manually.
Using Access 2010: I have a query with four fields: ORG_NAME, PERS_NAME_LAST, CountOfORG_NAME, and BdMbrCount. There are a couple hundred companies in the database with 1-7 people associated with each company. I need to number each person so that they have a number, 1-7 in the MemberCount field of my query.
I have my query connected to VBA code.
I have experimented with code that I have found on the forum, just to see if I could get something to work and I am getting “Undefined function ‘BdMbrCount’ in expression. I am trying to pass [ORG_NAME],[PERS_NAME_LAST] to my function and assign the value of BdMbrCount to a new field in my query, BdMbrCount.
Code: Function BdMbrNumber() Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef Set qdf = CurrentDb.QueryDefs("YourBdMbrsRRecognizedQry") 'Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT [ORG_Name],[PERS_NAME_LAST],[CountofORG_NAME], [BdMbrCount] FROM YourBdMbrsRRecognizedQry") Dim ORG_NAME As String
i am running some code from vba to add a linked table and the do some lookups, then delete the linked tables.
When the linked table gets added, the navigation pane gets displayed. I have set it to do not display in the settings and it does not when it opens but when this code runs it opens and then stays open until the db is closed and reopened.
I am trying to use my db as a software and I really do not want this to show.
I have also noticed this in a database I have which has update queries and was fine in access 2000 but does what i described above when using in access 2010.
I found the below link that looks great and works.
[URL] ....
Te only thing is that I don't have much control over it and would like to build something similar as we also need to work with access 2003 (still )Any way to find how the code works (if there is some of it hidden in access)?
I have a MS Access 2010 application when the User opens form CONTACTS Form
◦User finds single record to be used CONTACTID is identifier to be used for selection ◦User clicks button to open form frm_MAIL_MERGE ◦Frm_MAIL_MERGE has a drop down combo box that reads the folder location where the application resides and displays all .DOTM files (that is all template files) and one more combo box which contains the CONTACTID. ◦User selects single .dotm file for merge ◦Frm_MAIL_MERGE has either drop down to select CONTACTID or UNBOUND data field for user to type in CONTACTID number ◦User enters CONTACTID to be used for the mail merge ◦User selects SUBMIT ◦Application merges selected .dotm file with the information in table CONTACTS for the selected CONTACTID ◦Merged document is saved on the user Desktop as xxx.docx
Is it possible to have a value in an excel 2010 cell be used to update an access 2010 db?
For example, if in a spreadsheet "test" cell A2=3 then in a db "test" a column "value" is 3. However, if the value in the spreadsheet changes so does the db.
I wish to work in Access 2010 with a subset of my Outlook 2010 contacts (all desktop- no network barriers), so I am exploring the Desktop Contacts DB found in Microsoft's templates. It passes contact data back and forth using the standard macros, but I wish to add more fields from Outlook. It seems I need to find the code associated with the macro. I believe I can solve the problem using a Linked table, but am wondering if there is another solution?
Calendar synchronization is another issue. Linking gets me to the Archive Calendars, but not the Current one in Outlook which is what I want.
