"G:ServiceCompanySanDiegoWarehouseLCDLine_Summa riesDaily" _
& DateMonth & DateDay & DateYear & ".XLS", False

Opening A Password Protected Excel File From A Command Button In Access

Dec 22, 2006

Hi All,
I have three excel files (ActualHires.xls, ActualPromotions.xls and
ActualSeparation.xls). These are password protected files (with the
same password). They are linked to an access database and whenever the
files are opened, one must supply the password and click the 'Enable
automatic refresh button.' What I was wondering was if this could be
done in access with a command button. I have pasted some code below
that I found but now I'm getting an error.
This is the code:

Dim BookNames As Variant
Dim B As Long


BookNames = Array("O:ExcelFilesActualHires.xls",
"O:ExcelFilesActualPromotions.xls",
"O:ExcelFilesActualSeparations.xls")


For B = LBound(BookNames) To UBound(BookNames)
WorkBooks.Open FileName:=BookNames(B), _
UpdateLinks:=3, Password:="*******"
WorkBooks(B).Close SaveChanges:=False
Next B


But when I click the button, I get this error:
Run-time error '9' Subscript out of range.


and this line is highlighted:
WorkBooks(B).Close SaveChanges:=False


Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks.

Modules & VBA :: Determine Excel File Type Without Opening The File?

Aug 14, 2015

Question: Is it possible, using VBA, to determine the actual Excel file type without opening the file?

I receive data files from other departments. Seems like every time someone changes their download structure, I end up with file types that do not match the download extension (example: xlm file with a xls extension). The files can't even be opened because of this. I think I can fix it if I could figure out how to determine what the file type really is.

I'm using Office 2010.

Exporting Data To Excel And Opening The File?

Mar 9, 2005

Hi guys, this might be a quickie, I did a quick search but couldn't find anything :/

Basically my database creates a table which some people would rather analyse within excel because they're not comfortable with access. I can get the table exporting to an xls file no problem, howeevr what I would like is for the database to export the file and open the file in excel at the same time so the user doesn't need to open up excel and find the file etc...

Any ideas??

Opening An Excel Spreadsheet From Access

Jan 30, 2006

I have set up a command button to export an query to Excel, then create a pivot table with the data. That all works fine however the code which opens the sheet for veiwing after the code formats the pivot table only works once. The second time the user runs the query it is in read only mode those it has been close. The code I used to open the spreadsheet is:

Dim oApp As Object

Set oApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
oApp.Visible = True
On Error Resume Next

oApp.UserControl = True
Workbooks.Open Filename:="I:Program FilesCount.xls"

The users are just closing excel normally. Any Ideas?

I have a database application that I have to get to display some external PDF files.

I thought that I would create a command buttone and use that to open the files, but that doesn't want to work. Can anyone provide some thoughts on how to open a Word document or PDF file from within an access form? I only need to display it and then close the file so it doesn't have to be anything fancy.

Got Warning Everytime Opening An Access File

Dec 3, 2006

Hi,

I wonder if anyone here might be able to help me out here. I've been pondering this issue for so long and i was almost giving up.

I've been getting this warning everytime i open up an Access file (.MDB) especially, when trying to open up a file that's sitting on another computers. i have a few computers and they are set up in a peer to peer environment.

I took a printscreen of the warning message and attached it to this post. Please take a look at it. It's called "access.jpg"

Is there any way of turning it off? is it to do with the peer to peer networking?

Thank you in advance

Opening An Mde File In A Newer Version Of Access

Apr 22, 2007

I have an mde database originally created in Access 2003. Will I be able to open it in Access 2007?

(I ask because this mde file was originally created in Access 2002, and wouldn't open in A03. We had to track down the creator and get her to resend a new mde file that was 03 compatible. Are we going to run into the same problem after the next upgrade?)

General :: Opening Access Database From Batch File Or VBS

Dec 20, 2012

Is there a way to open an Access Database from a batch file or VBS file wait for 20 seconds and then close the Access file. Preferably I would like the Access file to run in either invisible or minimized mode. I would like the Access Database to close again after the 20 seconds has elapsed.

(The reason for this is so that the Database can refresh itself from Sharepoint on another users machine so that the excel reports on his machine are up to date).

Modules & VBA :: Determine File Format Without Opening Database (Using Access 2007)

Jul 15, 2014

Using Access 2007, can I return a value for CurrentProject.FileFormat WITHOUT opening the database?

I'm looking for a way to determine the file version of a given Access database without actually "opening" the database in Access (I don't want it to ever be visible at all or in any way).

So to open a database in Access 2007 "without opening it," I'm using:

Code:
Dim db As DAO.Database
Set db = DBEngine.Workspaces(0).OpenDatabase("C:Path-ToFile.accdb")

From here, there are at least two different "version" indicators that can be used, as in this example:

Code:
Debug.Print db.Properties("Version").Value
Debug.Print db.Properties("AccessVersion").Value

Now, if you run this code on an Access 2002/2003 .MDB file, you will get:

Code:
4.0
09.50

If you run this code on an Access 2007 .ACCDB file, you get:

Code:
12.0
09.50

Note two important factors:The db.Properties("Version") seems to be returning the JET version from what I can see in research. This is NOT what I'm after.

The db.Properties("AccessVersion") returns THE SAME VALUE for an '07 ACCDB as it does for an '02-'03 MDB, since Microsoft never updated it, apparently.

Now.... the one way that I have found that ACCURATELY describes the version of a given access database file is to use:

Code:
Debug.Print CurrentProject.FileFormat

...as this will always return, for example, 2.0 for an Access 2.0 .MDB file; 10 for an Access 2002/03 .MDB file; and 12 for and Access 2007 .ACCDB file (and there are others; these are AcFileFormat bitmask constants as described in Access support).

BUT, this CurrentProject object doesn't seem to be available (so far as I can see) when using the "open without opening" method described above.

SO, is there any way to return the FileFormat value without opening the database visibly? (Merely basing it in the extension isn't right either.... that would be easy but not accurate as several formats use MDB.

Linked Excel File In Access

Feb 26, 2006

I am using Excel and Access 2002. I have linked an excel file in Access. It is my understanding that if I add a new record in Excel it will automatically add it to Access and vise-versa. This is not working for me. I can add to one or the other and it will not display in both excel and access. I can manually add to both and access will display all data from both the database the table in access and the linked excel file. Any Ideas?

Thanks!
Terry

Can't Import Excel File Into Access

Dec 11, 2004

OK. I feel like an idiot but I did read the manual, Googled, and Microsoft help, but still cannot do it.
The problem is on the import feature, there is no option to choose an Excel file.

I lowered the macro security level to take it out of "sandbox" mode, I reinstalled
office and selected run all features again. I updated as well.

I tried blank databases to import to. No luck. I go to external data, import and I can choose ODBC, XML,
sharepoint or Access files only.

I am using MS Office Pro 2003. Thanks for the help.

Parsing From Excel File For Access Standardization

Oct 19, 2004

Hello! I have an Excel file that I need to get into Access. Problem?: I need to "parse" portions of it. What I have is as follows:

Roach, Richard 555-55-5555 01-6500-3000

Date In Out In Out
Data Data Data Data Data
Data Data Data Data Data

I need to pull only the Name (Roach, Richard) from the first line and then all of the data in the "table" below it.

Is there a way to do this? PLEASE don't tell me to give up. I know I'm a novice, but I'm desperate. Thank you so much!
