Modules & VBA :: Search For All Picture Files In Documents And Copy To A Folder On Desktop
Mar 28, 2014
I've been trying to search for all picture files in my documents and copy them to a folder on the desktop. I found this and it work great for searching however I'm having trouble getting the copy to work. [URL] ....
Code:
Dim colFiles As New Collection
RecursiveDir colFiles, "C:Photos", "*.jpg", True
Dim vFile As Variant
For Each vFile In colFiles
Debug.Print vFile
Next vFile
Code:
I replaced the debug.print vfile with my copy function. I've tried copyfile but it needs to specify the destination with the file name. I tried using the FSO filecopy method and can't get it to work (keep getting a compile error "Expected =") I feel the hard part is done and this part should be simple.
I have created a database that saves a link of technical data. Now i have forms where you can add the hyperlink of the data in the database. You can also type information about the data into the form (like location, what kind of part etcc.)But I was asked to save the data in a specific folder that you can select.
So what I have to do is:
Browse for a file in a form.Save the hyperlink of the file in the database.Don't save the file in the database, but copy the file that's selected when browsing to specified folder
I used to have a code that we used to copy data from a folder that was on the desktop using the code below.
Code: DoCmd.CopyObject "C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersDesktopWetcleans
This does not work with windows7. I have tried the C:USERSPUBLICDESSKTOPWetcleans but that does not seem to work either. How to access a folder on the desktop ?
I have the code below and I want it to open a file from my documents folder. The only problem is that every computers path is different to this folder. Any easy way to work around and open a file in My Documents without the full path?
I want to eliminate the part of the path in red and make it universal because computers will have a different number.
Operating System: Windows 7
Code below:
Public Function AddITARPicOffloadAnalysis() Dim xlApp As Object Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application") With xlApp Dim wb As Object Dim ws As Object Dim Lastrow As Long
I'm trying to write a simple little database. At one point on a form, I'm trying to merge all the pdf files in a particular folder. (I'm using the pdftke.exe program and there will be multiple pdf files)
It all works perfectly if I call it as below, with the actual paths already hard coded. It combines all the pdf files and renames it to the "merged filename.pdf" correctly
Dim stAppName1 As String stAppName1 = "C:a folder namepdftk.exe C:another folder nameprints*.pdf cat output C:folder where merged file will bemerged filename.pdf" Call Shell(stAppName1, 1)
However, I'm trying to have it work with the middle portion (the folder where all the pdf files are) being created on the fly so to speak.
The middle portion/path I have stored from a previous form and it's stored in a table.
So I'm trying the below, but doesn't seem to work.
Dim stAppName1 As String Dim combine_files As String combine_files = (this pulls a path from a stored field on the open form) + "" + CStr("*.pdf")
stAppName1 = "C:a folder namepdftk.exe (combine_files) cat output C:folder where merged file will bemerged filename.pdf" Call Shell(stAppName1, 1)
With the code above, it doesn't seem to do anything.
I added to my database a button to ouput the data to PDF. It works as it should. We do print out the letters in paper and put a copy in the folder from the client (connected with the ID nr). From time to time we need to attach a PDF document to the letter and combine it. My question is now if it is possible to have some code to the button that when it finish the output to PDF it will combine all the PDF files that are in the folder and put it in a second folder. After that, I need to put the combined PDF in another folder.
I have a folder that .csv files which are connected to my database are updating in. Once the .csv that i specify updates I want a color box to turn green. Is there a way to do this? Maybe just use when the linked text file updates?
I need a way to delete a folder along with subfolders and files associated with a record via command on a form:
The path is stored in a text field "txtDocuments".
For example: "C:UsersWatsonDesktopFY1515051505-010"
So, I would want the code to pull the folder location from the txtDocuments text field and delete folder "1505-010" and all sub folders & files contained within it.
I'm trying to automate a process of selecting a set of file/s and move them in a folder. When I click on a button, it should open a current folder that is setup in the code.
Lets say that I have a folder C:documents est, and very time I click on the button, it should open the dialog box with that path so I can select the files from another folder, drag them there and they will be saved in that folder.
This will form part of wider automation that will send an email stating that those file/s where placed in that folder.
I have in the same form where the button is placed, 3 check boxes that needs to be passed to the email as well that one or all the files where placed in the folder.
I have a table which lists all documents that refer to a certain entity. the table contains the file names and paths. I would like the user to be able to search for text inside these documents.Can I use Windows Search for that by using code? Is there any other way?
I need to make a copy of a pdf document that the user identifies in a "hidden" folder that is associated with my backend database. how to code this. I am using Access 2013.
I want to move documents associated with one customer from my main document folder to another. I've looked at some sample code but nothing seems to work
I have an access program and i want it to save a copy into a location... ive got it so it can save however - i want it to save to the current users documents folder (win 7)
I am 2 years into my database. I am trying to find and open a folder based on a text box. The problem is folder could be in many sub folders which is hold on our J: drive.
To further complicate, the folder i am searching may not be exactly as the text box states.
EG. Text box could say 123456 however the folder could be called M123456 etc.
How do i locate a folder or subfolder and open it based on part of a text box...
As you can see the picture naming system is standard and is based on the content in the type field. If one record of the Type field is say 12-6636 then the picture will be RC126636-01 (for Pic1) and RC126636-02.
Is there a way where the user say... can type C: and it will populate the picture file names in a combo box?
There are about 2000 records in the DB and I am just trying to find a way to keep a user from typing all that stuff.
:rolleyes: Could there be a way to do all 2000 records at once?...:rolleyes: Thanks.
Private Sub Commande4_Click() Dim dbs As DAO.Database Dim rst As DAO.Recordset Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef Dim BaseSQL As String Dim strSQL As String Set dbs = CurrentDb Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("SELECT DISTINCT [Dealer/Distributor Number] FROM Query_Active_Dealer_List_Update") Set qdf = dbs.QueryDefs("Query_Active_Dealer_List_Update") BaseSQL = qdf.SQL With rst Do Until .EOF strSQL = Left(BaseSQL, Len(BaseSQL) - 3) & " WHERE [Dealer/Distributor Number] =" & ![Dealer/Distributor Number] qdf.SQL = strSQL DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "Main_Report", "RichTextFormat", "C:Documents and SettingslarocmaDealer_Scorecards" & ![Dealer/Distributor Number] & ".doc"
.MoveNext Loop .Close End With qdf.SQL = BaseSQL Set qdf = Nothing Set rst = Nothing Set dbs = Nothing
End Sub
The problem is in the line containing : strSQL = Left(BaseSQL, Len(BaseSQL) - 3) & " WHERE [Dealer/Distributor Number] =" & ![Dealer/Distributor Number]
If I let ![Dealer/Distributor Number] this way I get an error and no report generated. But if I put "[Dealer/Distributor Number]" in a parameter, and I enter the dealer numbers by hand, I get good working reports. Dealer/Distributor Number are not nul. Main_Report is a report containing many sub_reports grouped by Dealer/Distributor Number. The query I linked to the function is the query I use on the main report to get the information about each dealership.
A front end written in Access (back end mySQL). I have made a .mde file out of this front end. There are a number of MS Word documents used (as merge documents) for running reports and letters that are linked to queries in the database. However, I can only link these documents to the original .MDB file as you can't link to the queries ni the .mde file.
This works fine until you have a query that requires a parameter from a form. The user will have selected the parameter from the .mde version of the front end that they are using but the query which is being called from the .mdb version (by the Word merge document) can't see this parameter because it is a totally separate database.
How can I get around this problem?
Sorry this is a lengthy post, hope it makes sense.
I'm trying to open a folder based on a BIN nr. This folder could be in a main folder that has diferent subfolder. As there where differnt naming used to create the folderes, one of the things they have always is the BIN nr. It alwasy start with a unique number and maybe I could use it to scan the subfolders and open that one that the BIN nr is equal as in the field BIN.
Now we have serveral 1000th of folders and finding them takes time.
