Please Help: Adding Mailing Label Printing To Search Query/Email Program

Nov 8, 2004

Ok, I've run into two serious problems in testing, and another question that I'm hoping you guys can
help me solve. Below my questions is the code used for making the search query/email program.

Problem #1: In testing, this search program only is working for me for new data. Any data that I had
in the database prior to implimenting the program will not move past the search stage. In other words, I
will do a search, it will find the emails and bring them up in a box, I hit "OK" and it gets hung up and won't move on
to opening up a new Email with the addresses implemented. However if I enter new data in the database, say with a weird
name so its only bringing up the new entry and no old entry, it works fine and opens up the new email.

Problem #2: Items I would like to search like check boxes. Say I have a check box "Donor", this is listed in the database
as a 1 or 0. I can't have my boss searching 1 or 0. Is there a way to change this to, say, being recorded in the DB
as a Yes or No. That way he would check to search "Donor" and type Yes in the search box and this would search the DB
"Donor" column for "Yes" and bring up the results.

New Question: My boss and I reviewed the form as it is so far yesterday. He was asking if I could add a Print Labels option
in there. I'm wondering instead of adding another seperate search box and all that mess for a labels search print, can I rather
add two check boxes, one labeled "Print Labels" and the other labeled "Email". What this would do is depending on the check box
you selected it would either run the search and email like we have it, or clicking the other check box would run the search and print
labels.

Three Names On Mailing Label--need A Query

Aug 23, 2007

I am preparing mailing label for a political campaign. On my list of voters, many times two or more people are listed at a single address. By consolidating the labels (and postage) I am able to save a lot of money.

I have written a query to group these names into those with 1,2, or 3 or more/address. For labels I am able to print 2 names/label by using the FirstOfFirstname, FirstOfLastname, LastOfFirstName, LastOfLastName generated in my query. This works fine for 2 names per label.

My question concerns 3 names per label. Does anyone know how to include all 3 names? Suggestions have included using a label with "The {LastName} Family" etc. but many times there is more than one last name per residence. Other suggestions are to print individual labels for each individual and overlap the labels to show all the names but just one address. These does save postage of $.42/mailing, but seems wasteful of labels and looks a little crude besides.

What I think I need is a clever query or queries that will be the data source for the labels. I have room for up to 3 names/label. I have been thinking about printing 2 labels -- one with one name and address and another with the rest of the names but this brings up problems of getting everything on the right envelope.

Mailing Label Groups

Jul 21, 2005

I have a database of customers for which I want to print address labels depending on what group I have entered them in. There are about 30 different groups that they could be a member of. I have entered them in to groups by using "yes/no" fields on the customer table to indicate who is a member of which set. My problem is that I know how to indentify which group is required using sql

eg select surname,address from table where GP

where GP is one of the possible groups. I cannot however see a way of selecting the group variable from a form and entering into a query, so that I can print the required label set.

Can anyone please advise me on this or point point me in the direction of an example. I tried using a combo box on form but could not get it to pass the parameter correctly. Many thanks in advance.

Regards

Peter

Print Individual Mailing Label

Jan 21, 2005

Hi--I have a contact database, and would like to be able to have a command button on the form for each contact to print one individual mailing label for that particular contact, preferably in a user-specified row/column on a page of Avery 6245 labels. Am realizing that this is a major hassle in Access but would like to do it within Access (why is it so easy to print huge lists of labels but so hard to print just one??). Any help would be appreciated. I'm pretty good at writing queries and reports in Access but a rank newbie at the underlying SQL and VBA so need major handholding if that's involved (and I know it is ). Thanks.

Print Mailing Label From Details Displayed On Form

Feb 23, 2005

Hi there,
I have created a form containing contact details for a 100 or so different people/companies. I want to have a button that will allow me to print an address label for the current displayed record (e.g. when I find the company I wish to contact in my form I wish to click [Print Label] and then get this company's address printed on my label).
Have some programming experience but not sure how to go about this in access?

Also as an aside question, is it possible for me to display a list in my form instead of individual records. What I mean is that I would have Name, Address, etc as titles accross the top and then would have a list of all records below these. Then I could click on a record to get more detail and also click on one of the titles to re-order the data by this field?......I know these are pretty big questions but a pointer to somewhere with this info or a sample app doing something similiar would be great. :)

Thanks for your time, regards,
Lavaghman

Select Fields Of Table To Use When Printing Mailing Labels

Jan 2, 2008

I have a table that contains a lot of different information regarding to mailing.

There are columns for Name, Address, Address2, Address 3, City, State, Zip, Country, Base Name, etc.

Some units will only required parts of the above information. I'm using the Name as an identifier in the DB only and Address is the beginning of content that I want to use.

My issue stems out of the fact that the City, State, and Country are not always required but the Base Name, may be used in lieu of the City.

I was looking at making checkboxes next to each of the columns on the form on the field and then using those checkboxes somehow to create a report for Mailing Labels.

I'm just not sure how to set this up.

How Do I Email The Program?

Feb 11, 2007

I am using Microsoft Developer and wish to email the program to my customer. With Developer, there are tons of files and a few folders, not just one exe. I realize I must zip to send a exe, but the folders are a problem, since WinZip, which is what I have, will not accept the folders, only files. I could ship like that but it would be a mess on my customer's end. Any suggestion would be helpful.

The reason I want to send this way is just for speed. Of course I can copy to CD and send that way.

General :: Printing A Label

Jul 6, 2012

Iv got a form with various data on it. The data comes from a table.I wish to print the detils on my form onto a label (10cmx12cm) as it appears on my form. I understand the best way to do this is via a report. So, i have created my report from the same table that my form gets its data from. I have laid my report out (visually) in the style i wish to appear on my printed label. Then i have added a cmd button to my form, which carries out the 'print report' code. However, this code sends all the records in my table to the printer, where as i only want to print the current record. Any suggetsions?
This is my current print code behind the cmd button on my form:

Private Sub PrintLabel_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_PrintLabel_Click
Dim stDocName As String
stDocName = "PalletLabel"
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acNormal
Exit_PrintLabel_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_PrintLabel_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_PrintLabel_Click
End Sub

Mass Email Program

Mar 19, 2008

I am sending out multiple emails to my customers in my customer table manually. As it is time consuming to send to about 100-200 customers daily, I am wondering if it is possible to automate the process in access in such a way that I can load all files from a particular folder and the access application will be able to sort the files in the folder for each company based on their name in the field(e.g.CompanyABC_DailyReport,CompanyDEF_DailyR eport) before sending out.

Any advice will be appreciated.:)

Reports :: Printing Labels On Label Printer?

Jun 11, 2013

I've created labels in my database and when I print them on a label printer, I get a blank label in between my printed labels. I've checked the printer settings and properties and can't find anything. I've also checked the database properties and can't find anything. Is there something in the database that I'm missing?

General :: Program Crashes When Sending Email In Response To Click On Send Button

Nov 9, 2012

I am sending an email using SendObject. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it makes the computer freeze up with no error message. I have tried this with Outlook running or not running, seems to make no difference.

Code:

'The sub procedure below sends e-mail in response to a click on the Send button.
Private Sub SendMessagesButton_Click()

'For Access, define some object variables and make connections.
Dim myConnection As ADODB.Connection
Set myConnection = CurrentProject.Connection
Dim myRecordSet As New ADODB.Recordset
myRecordSet.ActiveConnection = myConnection

[Code] ....

I have added some MsgBox () to narrow down where it crashes. It is after 'Five' and Before 'Six'. On the line:

Set appOutlookRecip = .Recipients.Add(eMailAddress)

I am mystified as to why it works OK sometimes, and not others. The email address being used is valid.

Forms :: Command Button On Click Function - Search By Hedging Program

Jun 26, 2014

I have a command button using this code:

If Me.Setfilter.Caption = "Search By Hedging Program" Then
Me.Filter = "Hedging Program"
Me.FilterOn = True
cmd.Setfilter.Caption = "Don't Search By Hedge Program"
Else
Me.FilterOn = False
cmd.Setfilter.Caption = "Search By Hedging Program"
End If

Hedging program is the column from the table I am trying to filter, it is a yes/no column. I want it to return all yes values in my query if it says search by hedging program and if it says Don't search by hedging program I want it to disregard the filter. I also have it set so that when I click the button it changes the caption from one to the other. So I don't know if I really need the cmd.setfilter lines because they may do the same as my command button on click function.

Query To Word Mailing List

Oct 11, 2006

Hi All,

I have attached a DB that I am trying to create for my small business. Every month we have renewals of the client’s yearly contracts. I have created a form called frmRenewells, on this form you need to select a month and a year (please choose October 2006) this then runs query qryRenewell. The query then opens form frmRenewellSheet with the results. This works fine, but I really need the following to happen:

Open form frmRenewells and enter month & year, on clicking the enter button it launches a word template I have created and automatically pulls all the fields required into the word document. I can then press print and it will print a document for each client in the query.

I am unable to go into word and just open the query as it has * or wildcards in it. Therefore word will not allow me to select the query.

I have attached the Word doc as well

Thanks in advance,

Danian

Tables :: Query To Extract Mailing Addresses From A Table?

I am trying to construct a query to extract mailing addresses from a table. I have individuals entered into a table (a separate record for each person) but if they are married I want an address such as Mr and Mrs J. Doe so that only one address label is printed off so that only one letter is sent out. If one of them dies then the address should only go to the surviving party eg Mrs J.

Queries :: Mailing List For Specific Month - Date Criteria Query

Jun 11, 2013

I am trying to create a mailing list of patients. Let's say I am creating a mailing list for February. I need the mailing list to consist of people who have had surgery in February from the beginning of the database, and people who have had surgery three months ago, so anyone who had surgery in November. I have created a form that has a button which is connected to a query, the form has a unbound textbox where I can enter the month in (2 for February). Then the query uses the datepart function to search for this month in their date of surgery. But this only gives me people for surgeries with february, how would I get people who have had surgery three months ago in the same query.

Reports :: Printing Report To PDF File Via Button On Search Form?

Aug 7, 2014

I'm building an application to record engineer input in Events (jobs) for an engineering company.

My main tables are Products, Builds and Events, together with fifty or so reference and ancillary tables which aren't really relevant to this particular head-scratcher.

A Build is derived from a Product and an Event is applied to a Build. An Event includes a sale, a service, a warranty repair and so on. Over time, multiple Events will be logged against a Build.

I have a searchable Events form (Search_Events), containing a subform (Search_Events_sub) whose contents dynamically change to reflect data entered in a variety of unbound fields in the main Events search form. Needless to say, the glue that holds things together is the Event_ID field.

On my Search_Events form, I'd like to place two buttons (Rpt_Event_client and Rpt_Event_internal) which will allow the user to print either a client or an internal copy of the event in question. The reason I want to use separate buttons rather than one button for both copies is that it's quite likely that different engineers will work on different parts of an Event's build, test and sign off process, and will want to print off and annotate the internal report, whereas only the final report will be sent to the client. Also, there will be some slight differences between the visible fields on each report (time and materials logged etc).

So far, I've managed to get the Rpt_Event_internal button to open the relevant Event report in preview mode, using the following on the button's 'on click' event:

DoCmd.OpenReport "Rpt_Event_internal", acViewPreview, "", "[Event_ID]=[Forms]![Search_Events]![Sub].[Form]![s_Event_ID]", acWindowNormal, ""

(In the subform, Event_ID is referenced as s_Event_ID because I'm using an nZ function in most of the search fields so that the results filter dynamically)

So far, so good: this works fine. However, from a usability perspective, and based on the fact that this will be the most-used feature, I'd really like to be able to have the button do the following:

- print the relevant report, based on Event_ID as above to a PDF file

- synthesise the filename of the report along the lines of "Event_" & [Event_ID] & "_Client_Copy_" & [Date()] & ".pdf"

- and to then have the standard 'save as' Windows location browser/file explorer dialogue box appear so the user can choose where to save the file. I don't want the filepath to be hardwired, rather I need the users to be able to decide where to save the file.

I'm using Access 2013.

Search And Email

Jun 28, 2006

Hi there,

I am setting up a database at the moment. I do not have a lot of experience with Access but up to know everything was alright :).

I don't know if it is at all possible...but I would like to be able to find out who has a yes in a "yes or no" field and than that it shows me the email addresses of the people that have a yes there....does that make sense...I hope so.

Ok if that is possible, the second thing I want to be able to do is to email those persons that have a yes.

I have understood by now I will need codes and everything. Problem is I don't know anything about creating codes...so would be great if someone can explain that to me. And is it right I put those codes into a new module?

I hope this all makes sense and that someone will be able/willing to help me.

Thanks in advance!
