Hello. I have a mdb access file. When I open it, I can see lots of tables. How on earth do I open a form? Do I need another file, if so, what extension should I look for on my computer?? I really dont want to create a new form, since a person who did it has told me that its all have been already done. I just need to open the form and enter the data in. Thanks for any help!!!:)
View RepliesIs it possible to follow a hyperlink to a file without using a file extension?
I have links being created based on the name of a file, but because I haven't used a file extension it crashes.
I know I can give the user a choice of what the file extension is and add it to the hyperlink, but it's an extra step, and another place for someone to make a mistake.
I'm potentially using 3 different file types, Word, Excel and PDF's.
The hyperlink works if I just reference a drive/folder, or if I add the file extension.
Hi Everyone
I have just solved one problem concerning creating hyperlinks based on values in other fields: See Previous Thread (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=124590)
but now I have another, the hyperlink I have created links to a document, while for the majority of time it is a word document it is not always, occasionally .xls or .pdf
So I need a way of building into the hyperlink code the file extension, my thoughts are it would involve check boxes and if statements (one check box for each) but I am unsure of how to do this, can anyone help?
My code is currently:
Private Sub H_Enter()
Form!H = "hyperlink#C:Documents and Settingscew1My DocumentsWORKSpecs" & Form!S & Form!PC & ".doc#"
End Sub

Hello,
I accidentally removed my developer extension add-in from the access 2007 add-ins.
How can I get it back?
I dont know where the dll or exe resides.
Is there anyway to extend a field set as text to more than 255 characters?
Thanks in advance

I am new here and dont know much about access but I have to do some things.
I have a table filled in access. This table (dlb_tbl) contains serveral colums. One colum named "type". The records of this colum has to be changed like this:
one record: 0RD00S101
this has to be changed into: EDH01-RD00S101
So there has to come a new extension EDH01- and the 0 has to be deleted. This has to be done to the whole colum. How can I make a query to do this?:o
Several post in the recent past asked the question of how to package the db for distribution and how to run the Access db in computer not installed with Access. Before Access 2007, you must purchase another program for about one thousand dollar to do this. Microsoft now offer these two programs "Developer Extensions" and "Runtime" for free. The Developer Extension is a program that will package your db into an installation disk. You can package the Runtime program in the install disk for users that use computers without Access 2007. Here are the links to the MS website for the download.

I have around a hundred tables all with exactly the same format and headings that i would like to combine into one long table, but the copy-paste append data to table function doesn't do what i had hoped. How can I join my tables together? And is there an easy way to do all 100 at once?
View 3 Replies View RelatedGreeting All,
I am trying the beta version of Access 2007 and realize that when converting Access 97 to Access 2007, the new db in Access 2007 has an extension of .accdb. I rename the db file name to xxxxx.mdb and the VB app fails to recognize it.
Is there any way to convert the xxxx.accdb (Access 2007 beta) to xxxx.mdb so that I can try my app against the Access 2007 db?????
Thank you for your time,

How would one go about scanning a hard drive for all mp3 files (i.e. *.mp3) and importing all of the titles into a database? I'm sure the dir function comes into play, but it seems to only handle "current" directory and not sub directories.
I was just curious is all..... haven't really dabbled that much in the file/directory functions.
I have a pretty basic TransferSpreadsheet module that works well except that if the Zip code has the four digit extension, it's not importing.
Option Compare Database
Dim myCheck
Function MeridianLinkFileImport()
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "tbl_MeridianLinkFileImport", "R:DEPT-BRCONSUMER LENDINGMarketing Campaigns2014 Auto Loan PrescreenReport from LoansPQ.xls", True, "Sheet1!A3:AO50000"
End Function
If there is no extention, it is importing fine... 85086 works fine but 85018-4710 doesn't import.
The field is a Short Text data type.
How to create an expression that removes the ".tif" extension of a file path.The data looks like this in it raw form:
J:201303080056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_00100562 73_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_3.tif
In my query grid in the filed row I have the following:
ImageRef: Mid([strImagePath],111,38)
which produces the following:
00056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_3.tif
00056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_31.tif
and so on...
What I need to do is remove the ".tif" part of the data. because of the way the path is output with regards to the tif image number, I'm having difficulty in targeting only that data that comes before the ".tif" extension.Is there a method I can use that will remove the right 4 characters and in conjunction with my expression above produce the following:
00056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_3
00056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_31
I've managed to work out how to get the data without the file extension ".tif" with the following expression:
ImageRef1: Left([strImagePath],Len([strImagePath])-4)
which gives me the following:
domgennt.dggroup.comglobalResourceApplication sUNIeFlowIMAGES201303080056273_ELECTRICALRET AILER_0010056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_3
and
domgennt.dggroup.comglobalResourceApplication sUNIeFlowIMAGES201303080056273_ELECTRICALRET AILER_0010056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_31
How can I combine the following expression with the above expression to get what I need:
Combine - Mid([strImagePath],111,38) with Left([strImagePath],Len([strImagePath])-4)
to get this result:
00056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_3
00056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_31
Here it is...
I need to make my form prompt me for an account number and have the fields in the form populate with any data that the tables contain for that account number.

So I read through about 50 posts trying to find one that resembled mine, but unfortunately I couldn't.
What I am trying to accomplish is this:
I would like to set up a database for reservations of meeting rooms at my place of employment.
My experience with Access is very limited, and I find myself getting stuck. What is making things difficult
for me is the fact that I would like to set up the interface so that people with absolutely no Access
background could still use it. This means I am using the calendar tool for people to input the date
of their reservation and giving them a command button to submit. That part works just fine, however,
I am having difficulty in making a query that works through a form so that people can use the same
calendar set up to inquire what reservations have already been made. I also am having a hard time with
figuring out how to limit people from double booking rooms (i.e. i don't know how to limit just the time,
and not the date or room). I would appreciate any advice on how to get this project started, so that
I can move further along and be back on here to ask more questions when I get stuck again. Thanks
in advance for your help.
I have the following expression as part of the recordsource for a report:

Hi!
I just found this forum and is exactly what i was looking for!:D
Anyway, i am a new access developer and i am currently starting to get around.
I have a question. I been working on this database for a few weeks and when i created any subforms, fields or buttons some sort of wizard would pop-up and and walk me through setting all the properties and so on. For some reason thats not happening any longer. It just creates the field or button and thats it. So i have to right click, properties and so on but the wizard thing(or whatever is called) was easier. The harder stuff that i dont know how to do was easy. Does anyone know what i am talking about?
thanks a lot!

New to Access programing and need help please. I have a main form that requires the input of a building #, this takes the primary key spot for all records. On the main form is a monitors field which calls up a form titled Resource Monitors and allows me to input primary and mutiple alternates information. My questions is, how do I get the Resource Monitors form to automatically look at what record (building) is currently open in the main form and automatically adjust the Resource Monitors (building) field to match. I have created a 1-to-1 releationship between the building field in both forms, and created a subdatasheet in Resource Monitors that correlates the entries from both forms. What is my next logical step to make this work?

I'd like to display several rows of data (records) on
a Form. Each row has 4 fields. One of the fields (field name is Description) could contain up to 150 characters. So I would like to be able to display the first 40 characters of that field
and have a "scroll bar" for that field so the user can
scroll thru the remaining Description for that row (record) .
Can that be done in ACCESS?
Thanks!!
Hi all. I am fairly new to access and am trying to do something that shouldn't be that hard. I have a simple form with one text box and a command button on it. I have the command button set to run an update query.
My problem is that when I enter data and press the button, I don't know how to get the entered data into the query?
I know this is simple to do, but since I am new to access, I can't figure it out. Does anyone have a simple example or step by step details that they can share with me?
Thanks

Hello...
I am a newbie to Access or any database for that matter. So please be gentle.
I'm in the process of writing an automotive invoicing database and have gotten stuck early in the game.
On my form I have Qty1 - Mat1 - and Amt1 fields placed from my database.
In Amt1 I would like to typein an amount and have it multiplied by 15% (.015).
