Hi
I have just found out that my admin team have re-named all my folders so now teh folder that my DB was in is called a different name, so now my DB wont open as it says that it can't find teh file (as its still looking for teh origional folder name).
Is there an easy way around this? (I cant change the folder names)
Thanks
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'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.
I have no idea how this happened, but...
I have a form that I use as a switchboard for a database. It automatically opens whenever I open the database and contains various buttons that allow me to import new data, run reports etc.
It has somehow moved a long, long, long, long (you get the idea!) way down the 'page' - i.e. the scrollbar to the right of access is enormously long with this form at the bottom and enything else I open at the top. This means that whenever I use the database any other forms, reports etc that I open are so far up the page that I cannot see them. The only way to reach them is to maximize everything. However, this makes it difficult/impossible if I need to, for example, see the design of two queries at the same time.
I have spent half an hour slowly moving the form up the page manually, but I don't seem to getting anywhere. Is there anyway to return this form to the top of the access page?
Is there anyway to stop the user from beng able to move a form. I.e. as in change its position on screen.
I am aware that you can do this by setting the border type to "none". However, I want my form to have a title bar along the top, so I cant use this method.
Is there another way to do this?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Ive found some information on the "movable" property, but I am using access 2000 and cant get it to work.
Suddenly my database started to act wierd. Look at the attached image. I can't move the window containing all the forms and tables. And I need to point out that I didn't place it there myself...
How to move it? I tried everything I could come up with, i.e. remove the toolbars, changing size of tha window and the programs window, restarting, re-saving, etc.
I have an open form with buttons to open other forms and use an If statement to position them an example is below.
Code:
Private Sub Command31_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "Opener", acNormal
If Me.Frame54 = 1 Then
DoCmd.MoveSize 2500, 1000
ElseIf Me.Frame54 = 2 Then
DoCmd.MoveSize 25500, 1000
End If
End Sub
This works perfectly, however I need to put similar code as a line in a macro and cannot seem to link it.
Code:
Public Function totalmove()
If Forms.Scan_Data.Frame54 = 1 Then
DoCmd.MoveSize 2500, 1000
ElseIf Forms.Scan_Data.Frame54 = 2 Then
DoCmd.MoveSize 24000, 1000
End If
End Function
I get Error 438 object doesn't support this property or method...
I am new to using access and have customized a project management database for a friend's company. I need a way to auto relink the front end and back end databases when moved in the same folder. I am currently using Access 2013 and have already tried using the code on this site: [URL]...... Does this code not work for Access 2013 or am I adding it incorrectly.

I have had a client moving to a new server a couple of months ago.
They have a small access application that reads csv files and exports them into Sage format that can then be imported into their accounts program - it also reports the total invoiced (whatever is inside the data CSV file) and has a printer friendly report with all the invoices inside said data CSV file.
The issue I have is that since the little app was moved to the new server - it stopped working.
I think somewhere in the code / options there is place to state the working path for the app. I think the app is trying to read the input data file from the old shared folder and thus not working anymore.
I can post the code and a sample CSV file. Specially because I did find a place with the old path and changed it to the new file share and it still didn't work.
I am trying to use this query. It gives me correct results as query. However when I make chart with query on a report it doesn't show correct data and eventually stops making chart
SELECT qry.txtRC, Count(tbl.txtRC) AS CountOftxtRC
FROM tblMain AS tbl, qryRC AS qry
WHERE (((tbl.txtDepartment)=[Forms]![frmRC]![cboDepartment] Or [Forms]![frmRC]![cboDepartment] Is Null) AND ((tbl.txtZone)=[Forms]![frmRC]![cboZone] Or [Forms]![frmRC]![cboZone] Is Null) AND ((tbl.txtRC )=[qry].[atnRC ID]) AND ((tbl.date) Between [Forms]![frmRC]![startDate] And [Forms]![frmRC]![endDate]))
GROUP BY qry.txtRC , tbl.txtRC
HAVING (((Count(tbl.txtRC )) Is Not Null)) OR (((Count(tbl.txtRC )) Is Not Null))
ORDER BY Count(tbl.txtRC ) DESC;
Hi.
I'm about to move to a back end / front end system, from a single database file. Before I do so, I want to make sure I have all bases covered so to speak.
My back end file will reside on a server. I am aware that path names are sometimes changed by network administrators without warning.
From tests, I notice that, if the path to the back end can't be found, one cannot open the front end database file at all (Access 2003).
My question is: if my back end file gets moved, or the path changed, how can I get into my front end file to update the linked tables.
Many thanks in advance.

I have built an Access 2010 split database on my computer and it functions as built. My next step was to copy it to the server at work and test it. I discovered the tables had to be re-linked and so did that. As I have read in the Access World Forums in order to function as a multi-user database a copy of the front end must be placed on the individual workstation with the back end residing on the server, however the hyperlinks in the back end will not function when the copy on the workstation is run. I simply get an unable to open "filename" error pop-up. I can run the server copy and everything functions as built. I know that the hyperlinks require all the files to be in the same folder (relative vs. absolute), but if the back end contains all the hyperlinks why does the location of the front end seem to affect the operation of the back end?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm not sure what I did, but when I enter data into a form, say it's record 10 and I click record 11 to start a new record. I can then go back to record 10, and it's still has the data I entered in the form. As you know this part is normal.
The problem is when I save and close the form and reopen it, record 10 now has the data from record 9, and the data I had entered for record 10 is moved to record 1, which is in front of my other records. It continues to do this, and I am now at record 4, which should be record 14 and I do not understand why it's doing this. At first I thought it was deleting my new records until I found them in the front of my already created records.
I could just leave it, since all my records are still there, but it's frustrating expecting your last record you enter to be at the end, instead to find it somewhere else.
I'm still learning, so I hope it is just a setting or entry I need to change.
I would like to create a new folder with a specific name.
example
I have a k: drive where i want the new folder created
I want to name the new folder under the k: drive.
Im sure this is very easy to do, but i can't seem to find an example in the forum.
thanks in advance
Hi,
I've got an Access 97 piece that imports text files, copies and moves the used files and several other things.
I've now been asked to enable it to create a fairly complex folder structure.
I've done that, but I'd like to be able to issue a warning if the root folder already exists, can someone please show me how to check if a particular folder exists (I don't particularly care if its full or empty).
I've built a Database which creates XML Files to import into another program. It just adds files to the program in a batch, so ever time I run the Export I want to Delete all the existing files for the holding folder. Have anyone done this before?

I have a few DBs operating in a few geographic locations. I'd like to update them all... could I use a command button in the DBs that I distribute to import new forms etc... from a DB that sits in a web folder?? Kind of like a web update?? This way end users can update it themselves.
Or maybe theres another way to do this??
Ideas are much appreciated.
Hello,
I have created an Access DB for personal use and I am willing to sort the queries in folders. I haven't found a way to do this, is it actually possible?
Having 40 queries all inside the database window is not so convinient...
Thanks in advance for any replies.
I'm currently having problems with splitting my database.
The situation as present it:
- I have a shared folder on my laptop, to which i have given full permission rights to a collegue, in this folder is the backend of the db which i split from a database also sat in the shared folder
- I can then go to the front end of my database either on my desktop or shared folder and update tables
- However, this is where the problems start. The copy of the front end that my collegue has (an exact replica of mine) cant access or open any tables. Even if he opens the exact front end that I'm successful with in the shared folder. The following error message appears
"Could not find the file 'D:Testdb_be.mdb'"
the D drive on my computer is where the shared folder 'test' is stored.
Any hints or advice on why this isnt working?
Thanks in anticipation

Hi there.....
I have a minor problem......if anyone could help me on this one, would be much appreciated.
I have a field "OLE Object".
Great!
BUT!! .......I want to be able to LINK my products to pictures from a file.
IE:
Product 1 = AB1.jpg
Product 2 = AB2.jpg
Both images are in C:/images
So...product ID1 is linked to image AB1.jpg...product ID2 is linked to AB2.jpg.
The images must also appear as images in the FORM.
Any ideas on how I can do this ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi.
I have been searching previous threads and the help file and got half way, but have got stuck.
I want to copy all files from a floppy disk to a drive on a directory on a server. I can check to make sure the directory exists and if not, can make it. All I want to do is copy all the files from the floppy disk drive (A drive) to the direcory I have just created.
I got this from the help in access:-
FileSystemObject.CopyFolder "c:mydocumentsletters*", "c: empfolder"
but can't get it to work......is this the way I want to go?
Can anyone help?
Thanks.
Frank.
Okay, so I know how to open variable folders with a button or combobox from Access...but I think I want to have my cake and eat it, too;) Is there any way that an Access form and an Explorer folder can be meshed into one object?
I had an idea where after the user selected a value from the combobox (afterupdate) then the folder corresponding to the combobox value would open (this part I know how to do)...but the folder would open in a specific part of the form. Like binding windows explorer into an object box and then having it jump to different folders as the user changes the combobox selection, aand the user would still be able to drag stuff into WE from the desktop or wherever.
Am I being vague? Can something like this be done? I think if I just knew how to open a folder in a specific place and size I could work something out.
Any help with this would be awesome, I haven't been able to find anything like this in the forums!
Hi all
How can I change the output string in the command below to simply save the document to the same folder that the DB resides??
DoCmd.OutputTo acQuery, "qryAwardsExportWord", "RichTextFormat(*.rtf)", "C:dataawards.doc", True, "", 0
any help is appreciated
I have a form set up and I am looking to:
Set up a txtbox that will house a variable (no worries)
I want a button that when clicked to open a "MS Windows window" that allows the user to navigate to a folder. When done I need that path to be placed in the textbox I set up (Or to a variable)
Does that make sense?
I thank you all for your help it is very appreciated.
Thanks Again
I back up our databases every Friday to a Dvd. Can I have a linked folder on our DVD backup in case we would like to look at the last current Mdb
Structure
C:MsAccessDatabase.Mdb
C:MsAccessLinkBackEnd.Mdb
FilePath = CurrentProject.path
I am currently using this path, but I moved my database folder into another folder so people won't mess with it. I still need to create files to the original directory. How can I make the FilePath still relative but up one folder from CurrentProject.path?
