I'm new to Access but have made a database of my music collection. Is it possible to get the selected mp3 file to play on the click of a button directly from a form? My music collection is store in several sub directories on my hard drive.
View RepliesBeginner using 2010. I wish to play MP3 files from a command button on a form. I would like to avoid third party / ActiveX controls if possible.
I am aware that use of "CurrentProject.Path" will be useful to locate the MP3 file within a directory within the Project Folder.
But have be baffled by the sparse previous postings about this subject (going back to 2004). Searching this forum yields zero results on the term "MP3".
This accdb/e will be used to present historical information to a small number of people and will be used with runtime without user input.
And all I need is Play / Pause / Stop. No other functions required.
Hi all, can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm testing the code below that's supposed to enable all commandbars and make them visible if appropriate- but it is causing access to shutdown whenever I run it. If I can get it to work I want to be able to reset a users toolbars after my app has changed them-not perfect, I think this still dumps any customization the user had previously.
Public Function enableTools()
On Error GoTo Err_enableTools
'enable all toolbars
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 To CommandBars.Count
CommandBars(i).Enabled = True
Debug.Print CommandBars(i).Name
DoCmd.ShowToolbar CommandBars(i).Name, acToolbarWhereApprop
Next i
Exit_enableTools:
Exit Function
Err_enableTools:
MsgBox Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description
Resume Exit_gottaGo
End Function
OK, My main table has an autonumber field in it to make records unique.
At the moment, the number 5-34 are all in use on active records. But when I create a new record either in the front end form, or the back end directly in the table, it attempts to start the record off with an already existing number.
No idea why this is doing this at all.
Is it possible to reset the autonumber to say 50 so all new records start at 50, then 51 etc.
I really dont want to lose the numbers already assigned, as there are other tables that rely on that autonumber as the clients ID to record all the other data.
Its probably something very simple, but I cant carry on with my data entry at the moment.
I'm a bit frustrated with how Jet is behaving with the server (MySQL).Apparently it loves to issues commands like those: 48 QuerySELECT `city`.`ID` FROM `city` WHERE ( 'ABW' = `CountryCode` ) 48 QuerySELECT `ID`,`Name`,`CountryCode`,`District`,`Population` FROM `city` WHERE ( 'ABW' = `CountryCode` ) limit 10071114 13:44:25 48 QuerySET AUTOCOMMIT=0 48 QueryCOMMIT 48 QuerySET AUTOCOMMIT=1 48 QueryCALL BEGINTRAN 48 QuerySELECT `Code`,`Name`,`Continent`,`Region`,`SurfaceArea`,` IndepYear`,`Population`,`LifeExpectancy`,`GNP`,`GN POld`,`LocalName`,`GovernmentForm`,`HeadOfState`,` Capital`,`Code2` FROM `country` WHERE `Code` = 'ABW'071114 13:44:27 48 QuerySET AUTOCOMMIT=0 48 QueryUPDATE `country` SET `Name`='Aruba' WHERE `Code` = 'ABW' AND `Name` = 'Arubz' AND `Continent` = 'North America' AND `Region` = 'Caribbean' AND `SurfaceArea` = 1.93000000000000000e+002 AND `IndepYear` IS NULL AND `Population` = 103000 AND `LifeExpectancy` = 7.84000015258789060e+001 AND `GNP` = 8.28000000000000000e+002 AND `GNPOld` = 7.93000000000000000e+002 AND `LocalName` = 'Aruba' AND `GovernmentForm` = 'Nonmetropolitan Territory of The Netherlands' AND `HeadOfState` = 'Beatrix' AND `Capital` = 129 AND `Code2` = 'AW' 48 QueryCOMMIT 48 QuerySET AUTOCOMMIT=1071114 13:44:28 48 QuerySET AUTOCOMMIT=0 48 QueryCOMMIT 48 QuerySET AUTOCOMMIT=1 48 QueryCALL ROLLBACKTRANI want to use transactions, but with Jet's behavior, it's useless because Jet insists on committing every update it does. Disabling transactions in the ODBC driver didn't stop it. (This is why you see "CALL [Transaction method] in the query- I figured that if I made a stored procedure, disabling transactions, Jet would STFU and let me decide when to commit or rollback the transaction, but it blithely ignores the setting...)There's no "Safe Transactions" value anywhere, and I don't know where I'd look to alter Jet's behavior, already having looked at regedit and reading the whitepaper on JET and ODBC.I also seems can't to use ODBCDirect workspace for bound forms, and even if I set the recordset to a ODBCDirect workspace, I lose all Jet's intelligence in selecting only needed records (in which it does a wonderful job, I'd think). I also can see that if I create a ODBCDirect workspace, I would be creating one more (unwanted) connection to the server, which indicates to me that Jet/Default workspace will connect to the server anyway, and because the default workspace isn't an ODBCDirect, I can't modify/view connection properties.Can I please have my cake and eat it? Anybody knows whether the behavior can be altered?

Hey.
My database would like, to make itself feel complete, a rele snazzy opening form.
I have flash 8 and I've created a 1024x768 movie with some simple animation on it.
I've managed to add the movie to the database as a ActiveX flash object and the animations play.
The problem is making the object larger! It's staying very small no matter how I change the properties of the control.
Any help would be much appreciated. For the sake of my databases mental health... of course. :cool:
To attach the movie I did so:

Hello,
I need to be able to take information from a table in access, use this information to populate a PDF file, and then save the PDF file.
i.e. I have leads in a database and I want to pre-fill in application forms (PDF) for the clients.
I did some searching pertaining PDF, but didn't find exactly what I was looking for.
Where should I start?
I want to link files that are associated with a row in a table. I have added a field to the table that contains the file name and have added a field on my form to display the filename. I have set the "Is Hyperlink?" option to yes on the properties panel. But when I click on the link, nothing happens. I get no error message, nothing. I want to be able to link, word, powerpoint, visio, etc. Any suggestions?

I have a very simple table of basically a unique number and a couple data fields. On my form with those same fields, I need to be able to create a button that opens a pdf file that is named the same as that unique number. Here is the kicker...I have been able to create a hyperlink with a link to that file and it works fine.... I am trying to set it up so that the file name is automatically put into the hyperlink statement according to what the unique number is for each record.
what I did so far...
in my hyperlink: *file://c:/docubase/3840.pdf (only put * in so not a link here)
this works fine but I need the syntac to make that line take into account the account field (ID) for each record. So something similar to this (already tried this and it doesnt work)
*file://c:/docubase/[id].pdf
I've been looking around and have found some posts that pointed me in the right direction, I just can't get it to work. What I have is 37 excel files of competitor cross references. There are 2 columns in each excel file, our number and their number. I have inserted them as a linked table in the db. What I want to do is create a form that has a field for every part number and make all of those fields a search field. That way they can type in any number and get all numbers back. I have created a query but once I get past 4 linked excel sheets then I get errors about a type mismatch in expression. Also I can't get the form fields referencing the query to show up when I open it. If I leave the query at 2 or 3 fields and use [Forms]![CrossRef]![txtItemNumber] in the criteria of our number in the query, it works. I get a window that pops up when I just open the query asking for a number, I type it in and the query returns the number and competitor numbers. Am I doing this the hard way?? Thanks for any ideas...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have based a form on a parameter query, so that when the user is prompted to enter a 'Hobby' to search on, the relevant records will be displayed on the form.
Now, I have created a command button designed to open a template letter in MS Word for a particular hobby. The problem is, I need the command to open certain file depending upon the value input in the parameter box intially. How would I go about doing this?
In a record, I want to have a text box which displays the file path to a .pdf or .doc, docx file. If you double click in the text box the file within the text box opens.

I have a field within a tblPriceList called quotefile, which I want to store the file path.
For info. This is not going to be a major multi user database, but the quote files will be stored on a vserver, not the PC the DB is being used on.

View 6 Replies View RelatedHi guys.
Just a quick one, I couldn`t find anything on this or in any books I have.
I`m assuming I need to create an MDE file befire I can distribute my database for other people to use ?
Anyway, that I have done, but the question is, I`ve done this and have a select number of ppl using my database, entering LIVE data etc.
Once This has been done can I open this back up in access and make changes to the database, eg forms, reports etc etc ?
If not, is there anyway, I can pull the data out of this and import it into my origanal file, which can then be remade into an MDE ?
I hope I have made myself clear.
Thanks in advance for any help!!
