View RepliesHow to open MS Excel from a MS Access database (plenty online really) but then select a worksheet and a row in the excel sheet (can't find anything)?
I also need to open MS Access from the Excel worksheet and I was hoping to use
Code : Set oApp = CreateObject("Access.Application")
however it seems Access 2010 does not support this ...
I am currently creating a database in a hierarchical system that is to be used by multiple users to enter information specific to them. The tables are arranged like this:
Owners
Modules
Tasks
Highlights
Theses are connected using primary ID's and Particular Entries in the next table so they form a hierarchy - when you expand owners it brings up a list of Modules attached to that owner, then expand each module and it brings up a list of tasks associated with that module, expand the task and it brings up a list of highlights associated with that task. This is all very straightforward of course but what I would like to do is create forms that basically match so that the users can navigate from their name, through their modules and tasks and then add highlights to each task.
For this I have been using continuous forms to list all the different entries and inserting a button in each entry that I would like to link to the next form and find the specific data, however when I try to do this the button always without fail will just return all the entries from the form rather than the specific ones requested. I set up the button using the wizard and select 'open form and find specific data' and then select two entries that are identical on each form. I have trawled the internet quite a bit to try and find why this is happening and have inserted various bits of code etc into the embedded macro in an attempt to make it work but to no avail.
I wonder if there is something I need to activate on the form that the button connects to aswel or if I need to connect these forms using the relationship that I used to connect the tables (I am still using a unique identifier).If I connect to a single form it will display the first entry on the list (and I can cycle through them all) on a continuous form it will display all entries starting with the first.I would like it to display all entries for the selected record on the form.
We have an access database which has a form that has a list box that details particular records. See attach "list box".
What I would like to do is double click on the record and this would look in a powerpoint folder (see attach "path") and open the presentation if there is a match to the value in Listbox Column 5 i.e. Tool Number.
I can get it to open the presentation if I include the tool number in the path but I cannot seem to be able to get it to compare the values and only open if there is a match.
I want to create for each record I'm introducing in my database a link to open a specific page of a pdf file I stored in a folder.

This is what I am using to export from access to excel. It works great! Many thanks to Mwalts and Colm. How do I go about exporting data to specific fields in excel?
Thanks to all,

VBA for a click button that extracts specific fields in an Access DB in to an Excel spread sheet.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a table that depending on a certain field in that table it will be able to open a specific form.
In other words I have multiple forms but only want a specific form opened when accessing a record if that record has a field with certain criteria
if that makes any sense
thanks
I have 2 forms one named "View" and the other "edit" on the form "view" the final user cannot edit any field as set from the form properties the form "edit" has no restrictions, what I need is to put a push button on the form "View" that will open the form "edit" showing the same record as on the form "View"
Hope I explained my problem :)
I have an input form that opens another second input form. The code below opens the form to the correct record.
However, the form that I open has a bunch of tabs on it, and I want to open the specific record right to the tab "Technology_Page". Any way that I might be able to do that right from this statement?
Code:
DoCmd.OpenForm "ProjectDetailsActive", acNormal, , "PPID = " & Me!PPID
Hi,
I want to open a new form which is similar to the form it will be opened from. Only difference is the new form I want to open is designed for printing purposes.
I'd like to access the this new form by hitting a button that opens the print form for a user given order number. Any ideas if this is possible? Thanks
I have a form with a subform which has a lookup table (combo box) as a field. I want to be able, when I select a certain item in the lookup to have it automatically open a form. e.g. A field called insurance class - I select motor, I want the motor details form to open. If I select Fire, I want it to open the fire form and so on. I have already created the forms. Please help!

I want to export a query into a specific worksheet in Excel. Have tried DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, but it appears you can't specify an existing worksheet or cell range with a query. Some have said tables only. I want to assign this export task to a command button.
The variables are:
Query name = TrainingDataQ
Excel workbook path & name = C:UsersmeDesktop2015AccessExportTest.xlsm
Desired Excel worksheet = RawData
I think thats all you will need to know. The data in the query varies but would be no more than about 500 rows.
Also for the next time i want to run the export, some code to open that same excel file and delete the data in the RawData worksheet so that i can export new data from Access?
I have been trying to import an excel sheet (a specific excel sheet in the workbook) using this method but I get an error:
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "Customer", "C:Download.xlsx", True, "CustomerFormatted"
where "CustomerFormatted" is the sheet I am trying to import in to the "Customer" table.
The error I get is Run Time Error 3011, The MS Access engine could not find the object "CustomerFormatted" make sure its name is spelled correctly ....
Is there any other way I can import an excel sheet in to an access table?
I have a access 2003 database, and i am wondering if i can't setup a search function in a form that will open a file in windows explorer?
What i would like to do is have a test box that i enter in a number for example: 1234 then have a button named "Search" hit that button and it opens a corresponding file in windows explorer named 1234, or just opens that folder directly..
I am trying to open a single form with a single subform with a command button. I would like to open the form with the subform on a specific record but I am not entirely sure how to do this, I was wondering if someone had any advice that could help.
View 2 Replies View Related(MACROS ONLY)I am looking for a way to open a form in order to add a new record. The idea is that I open up the form with a MemberID and possibly the name already filled in on the relevant form. It is merely for ease of use regarding the user.
I have got as far as opening the the new entry form. I just need to pass the MemberID into the relevant field. If I use the wizard it is just finding a record of a pre-filled entry.
I have a form that is opened as hidden when my startup form loads. Data gets entered into it from other forms so whenever I switch records the hidden form needs to be opened to the matching record.
To accomplish this, I have been using the DoCmd.OpenForm in the OnCurrent event with the WHERE clause matching the PK/FK. I have had no luck with the SearchFor method.
It seems silly to have to keep reopening a form to go to a specific record when the form is always open already. Plus, I am wondering if it is affecting the forms' load times.
Is there a better way to do this (there must be)?
Basically I have a database that records commitments for clients. The user can go a client form, and within that form there is a subform which shows each expenditure commitment for that person (wihtin the subform there is also another subform that shows all income attached to each commitment). The user can use the Next and Previous buttons to navigate through the expenditure commitments (and the same if they want to navigate through the income commtiments within each expenditure commitment).
If you double click on any specific commitment whithin any part of the subform, then the expenditure commitment form (or the income commitment form if it is an income one) opens to allow the user to change stuff.
My database is set up so that each time a form opens the previous form closes. So when the user has the commitment form open and clicks close, the client form will re-open. My issue is that is always goes back to showing the very first commitment and the user then has to navigate back through till they find the one they have just updated.
What I would like to be able to do is when the user closes the commitment for that the client then the form opens up with the specific subform on the screen that they have just changed.The code I currently have written on the Close command of the Commitment is as follows:
Code:
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "frmTotalCommitmentsbyClient
stLinkCriteria = "[FrameworkID]='" & Me![FrameworkID] & "'"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmCommitments"
I essentialy just need the bit that would also say show the subform (which is called subfrmComms2) where the commitmentID = the commitment ID on the Commitment form.Now just to really complicate matters, I would also like this to happen if someone has the Income Commtiment form open and they close it, only the Income Commitment subform is actualy a subform of subfrmComms2 (above), but equally the income commitment form has within it the Expenditure ID, the Income ID and the FrameworkID.
1. I have created a button in a switchboard with embedded macro:-
Close Window
OpenForm (Form name: frmCustomerFind)
2. I have created a form "frmCustomerFind), in which I can select a customer name in a combo box named "CustomerName".
a. The row source: SELECT [tblCustomer].[CustomerID],[tblCustomer].
[CustomerName] FROM tblCustomer ORDER BY [CustomerName];
b. After Update Macro:
Open Form (Form name: frmCustomer)
SearchForRecord (Object Type: Form Object Name: frmCustomer
Record: First Where Condition = "[CustomerID]=" & Me.CustomerID
At the end, the form "frmCustomer" does open but not go to the record I want. It goes to the first record instead. (The frmCustomer has the "CustomerID" and "CustomerName" fields).
Need to open a form to a specific record.Ive done the command button wizard that opens the form to a specific record but but that brings up the form with the filtered button showing.I've tried to put the formula into the filtered section but that doesn't work.I just want to be able to open the form to the specif record and then be able to navigate to other records if required (without aving to press the filtered button)
View 1 Replies View RelatedCurrently, I have a form with tabbed pages in it. The second tab, I have a subform inserted into it. I have a completely separate form that looks through records. I want to be able to click on a record from the separate form and open the Main tabbed form, to the second tabbed page, to a specific record. Currently I have:
Private Sub Form_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "frm_Main_Data_Entry"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
Forms![frm_Main_Data_Entry]![pgAgreement].SetFocus
End Sub
Which opens up to the tabbed page just fine. but I can not figure out how to get to a specific record.
Also, the subform in the tabbed page, doesn't have the same controls as the Main tabbed Form itself, so when I add something like:
strCriteria = "Agreement_Number = " & Me.Agreement_Number
it won't work because it is not reading from the subform in the tab, rather its reading from the main form controls.
I have a form that lists a number of orders (list box).
I have another form that has customer details as the main form and the order as a sub form and then another sub form for items....
How can I open the sub form to a specific record? ie I want to view order 14?
No I know this one has been done, and I have a form with a button that this works on. Here is my problem. I have a list of parts in a continuous form, I added a button to open that specific record in a detail view and it works just fine. I used an open form macro and put in the criteria
="[Description]=" & "'" & [Description] & "'"
I have tried to use this similar procedure for another form, it however has two subforms in it and I get a data type mismatch in criteria exception error. I suspect that it has something to do with the subforms but am not sure.
For instance, first table export to EXCEL CELL A1 and then second table export to the same EXCEL but to CELL A5! I simply do not know the sytax to tell ACCESS to do the correct export!
e.g. DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "EXPORTDATA", "c:EXCELSHEET.xls", True
