Opening A New Mail Through Hperlink On A Form
Jul 10, 2005
Hi,
I'm very new to this database game and have just starting creating a customer information database. But have come across a problem already. I created a form which I've setup a field which contains customer email address, when click on it the hperlink, it trys to find a web site....
"Unable to find http://abc@abc.com. The internet site reports that the item you requested could not be found (HTTP//1.0 404)"
But what I want it to hyperlink it to is MS Outlook 2000. Can any help?
I'm using MS ACCESS 2000 & WIN PRO 2000

Hi, this is probably a very easy question for you “Access-gods” out there.
I’ve made a database (MS Access 2000) with all my clients. I collect a lot of contact info, including e-mail.
I want to make a function which opens a new mail window (Outlook 2003) and automatically puts in the e-mail from my form (In the send-to field of outlook).
Is this possible? And how?
(BTW: I’m a newbie with VBA)

Hey Guys,
Hope you can help as this one's got me stumped!
I'm using Access 2000 and run a mailmerge function via a button on a form. (It opens Word, which then uses a query in the database to refer to and then 'automerges' into a new Word document).
It used to work absolutely fine but now it opens Word and then opens another copy of the database (so I have 2 running) and all hell breaks loose.
Any ideas what I can do to stop this? Has anyone come across this before?
Any help/suggestions would be gratefully recieved as I feel like I'm in a 'needle in a haystack of needles' situation here.
Cheers,
Rusty
:D

I have a Form opening from Access Options. I would like to close this Form using the Timer. The following is the code I have used but it is not working.
Private Sub Cover_Page_Form_Load()
OpenTimer = Timer
End Sub
Private Sub Cover_Page_Form_Timer()
If (Timer - OpenTime) = 5 Then DoCmd.Close acForm, "Cover_Page_Form", acSaveYes
End Sub
Next question. If I can get this to work can I then use a DoCmd to open new Form within the code above or do I need a new process.

Friends,
I know that this topic has appeared in one form or another throughout the Forums. However, not being a code expert, I would like some "in my case" help.
I am wanting to create a button/etc that will create an email with the following:
1. addressed to joeschmo@his-mailaddress.com (this same person will always be receiving the e-mail we want to send.)
2) The subject line should be "Database Correction Request"
3) The body should say: "Dear Joe, I am requesting that there be a change to the database for (FirstName & LastName field from the current form). LineReturn LineReturn LineReturn Thanks, Mike"
What code do I use and how can I "program" this to work when I click a button or link?
Thanks,
Mike

Hello everyone. This is my first post.
I need help on figuring out how to e-mail a specific record from a table through a form. What I have is a table that houses information that some of my call specialists populate as they are speaking with the customer. What I want to happen is when they hit the control button "E-mail this call" it pops up with an e-mail and asks for recipient. So far I got it to do this with entire tables/forms/queries/reports; It imports it into an excel spreadsheet and attaches it to an e-mail, which is cool. But, what I need to happen is that it only takes the specific Record that they entered and email it on.
I am pulling my hair out there trying to figure out how to do this. Any ideas?

I am using mail merge to add info from my database to my word document template. I want to make it the same as my form I have set up which gives me a patient name, dob, GP details as head of main form then a subform (continuous) of their medication. When I try a mail merge it comes up right but only shows one medication on each page. I want it to add all their medications to the body and have the patient info in the heading. Do-able?

I have a database for my business, which lists clients details. Within this, I have a query that runs off receipts (one customer, many receipts), as I run a private school and people pay me monthly. I use this query to run off a Mail Merge letter within Word, but it's difficult, having to close the db and open a Word document and then relink it.
Is there any way that some coding could be used within the db so that I can add a button and just print out that record into a mail merge document?

I have been tasked with creating a tool to analyse mobile phone bill data and present the analysis, and our recommendation, to a customers. Being new to Access (other than basic tuition) this has been a slow uphill task, which is finally nearing completion, however there is a problem which I have not yet been able to overcome.
The requirement is for the DB to open first on a splash screen (lets call it Form A) with fancy picture where our customer is selected from a combo box, the customer is then telephoned, a linked computer screen is established and our staff then click "Go" to proceed to a second form (Form B) showing an account overview and more details.
The problem I have is when "Go" is clicked, the second form loads via on click event, and even populates the correct customer in its combo box. Unfortunately that is as far as it gets - the combo does not look up the information. The customer needs to be selected again for the subforms and subreports to load with the customer overview. To clarify, form B just sits there blank until the customer is re-selcted from the combo box in form B.

I am using Access 2010 - Version 14.0.61.29.5000 (32-bit)
I am building a custom Export Wizard to export data to Excel using the Report Wizard for the basic ideas.
All I am trying to do is have a [Back] button on a form to open another form and close the current form.
Private Sub cmdBack_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_ExportWizardPage2", , , , , , Nz(Me.OpenArgs)
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frm_ExportWizardPage3"
End Sub
The new form is opening but then the current form is not closing. All forms are the same size, shape and positioned centrally although this should not make any difference.
Could this be anything to do with which form has the focus when I open the new form?

I have a form, which is comprised of a sub form, and some of the text box controls sided with a button, and the event had been written to the button.
Now, to give a note on how had the sub form had been created is firstly taking a clone of the "Payments" table and using it as a datasheet, and then create a sub form in the form, it works fine

Hi All
I have a form based on a table called tblListMaster and I want to allow users to open up another form showing all the members of one of the entries in that table so I have added a button called 'Show List Members'.
The list members form which I then want to bring up is also based on tblListMembers (it's a master-detail form). When I hit the button to open up the list members form I get an error message saying that the table is already opened exclusively.
I can understand why I get that message so I thought I would be cunning and create a dummy form which I open up, passing in my list id in the openargs (at that point I also close the original form) and then from that dummy form automatically open up the master detail form and close the dummy.
Code in List Master form
Private Sub cmdListMembers_Click()
' open up the list members form
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmDummy", acNormal, , , , , Me.ListId
DoCmd.Close
End Sub
Code in Form Load of dummy form
Private Sub Form_Load()
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmMaintainListMembers", acNormal, , , , acWindowNormal, Me.OpenArgs
DoCmd.Close
End Sub
Sadly I still get the same error message - does any one have any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Form: entryform
Fields:
RecordDate
Department
DepartmentNumber
7 text fields
6 memo
What I am looking to do is be able to click on a combo box for departments so that once a department is selected, the latest record for that department is populated in the form, however, it is opened as a NEW record so that when any changes are made to the information in the form to the text or memo fields, it is saved as a new record.
I'm having a lot of trouble with this.
Thank you very much in advance for your help.

I built an info application for a friend in business. Its based on a kiosk style menu with selections, and when a button is clicked it executes "FormOpen" and brings up a second form with the results in it.
Its important for this application that they are two seperate forms which display the results, lets call them form1 and form2 for this exercise.
My problem is that when form1 opens form2, it LOCKS form1. And if you are to try and select a list menu, or click a button on form1, when form2 is concurrently open, it 'beeps' with no function. Whether it be by .disabled or whether its some sort of record lock (to stop a person from editing in two places at once), I'm not sure.
Basically, form1 never needs to have records updated, its the kiosk remember ie. form1 serves as a menu. But when form2 is open i would prefer it if they could could still click buttons on form1 to execute filters for the query i have on form2.
I've tried fidding around with the .disabled property on form1, and then i also thought about the record lock and tried DISABLING data entry on the first form so perhaps access could work around. Nothing has worked. There is also nothing in the book that i have on access.
Please help!!! You will be much loved. Even if you just tell me its not possible then i can sleep easy.
Kind Regards
Jeremy

Is there a way to open a form from a form in a different database? I'm pretty sure it needs to be done in VBA and have seen some code floating around that suggests it can be done, but I'm thinking there's more to it, like maybe one or both of the DB's need to be in a different format?

Hi All,
Is there a way that when the user clicks on a database file, the form pops up without opening MS Access window.

Is there a way you can set where a from Opens in relation to a button or a piece of text you select.
Basically I have a main form, with some selectable options on the LHS of the screen, rather than use buttons I have text boxes programmed to open a form using the "On-Click" event, I want the new form to open right next to the text box, so it will look like a drop down menu.
Additionally the main form could be moved around the screen, is there a way of locking the 2nd form to be next to the text box ?
Additionally I know I could use a list to but I am trying to design the DB with a certain look.
Many thanks
