Populating Picture File Names From A Folder

Jan 13, 2006

I could realllllllly use some help here....

I have database that looks like this:

Type | Pic1 | Pic 2
-------------------------------------------
12-5525 C:RC125525-01 C:RC125525-02
12-3556 C:RC123556-01 C:RC123556-02

As you can see the picture naming system is standard and is based on the content in the type field. If one record of the Type field is say 12-6636 then the picture will be RC126636-01 (for Pic1) and RC126636-02.

Is there a way where the user say... can type C: and it will populate the picture file names in a combo box?

There are about 2000 records in the DB and I am just trying to find a way to keep a user from typing all that stuff.

:rolleyes: Could there be a way to do all 2000 records at once?...:rolleyes:
Thanks.

Forms :: Picture Link To Folder Broken By Moving ACCDB

Jul 8, 2013

I have a MS access db with a report that displays a list of students with a pic of their face on the side.

The pics are linked to a folder thats inside the folder where the .accdb file is stored.

The accdb is often moved around, but when it does, all the links become broken and the images are no longer displayed on the list.

How can i adjust the link path so that regardless of where the accdb is moved, the links remain valid?

I am using ms2007 and also its not a networked area but rather a bunch of standalone computers.

Modules & VBA :: Search For All Picture Files In Documents And Copy To A Folder On Desktop

Mar 28, 2014

I've been trying to search for all picture files in my documents and copy them to a folder on the desktop. I found this and it work great for searching however I'm having trouble getting the copy to work. [URL] ....

Code:
Dim colFiles As New Collection
RecursiveDir colFiles, "C:Photos", "*.jpg", True
Dim vFile As Variant
For Each vFile In colFiles
Debug.Print vFile
Next vFile

Code:

I replaced the debug.print vfile with my copy function. I've tried copyfile but it needs to specify the destination with the file name. I tried using the FSO filecopy method and can't get it to work (keep getting a compile error "Expected =") I feel the hard part is done and this part should be simple.

Link To A File Or Folder From An Access Form

Jan 12, 2006

Hi Di Hi

I am new to Microsoft Access and have a little problem. I have searched the forum and nearly found the fix but I didnt quite understand what to do, so im creating a new thread.

I have a Access Database and have a client page that stores all the information about that client. We produce reports (scanned word/pdf) for each client and we store the report files in a client folder using the Client ID taken from Access.

My question is can I somehow produce a link from the Client Form in Access to the Client Folder or Files in explorer. I have seen the Hyperlink option but that is only availabe in Design View.

Hope someone can help. Thanks in advance,.

Modules & VBA :: Function To Unzip A File To Same Folder

Jun 26, 2014

I'm trying to write a function to unzip a file (working off Ron de Bruin's code here)..The function should take the path of the zipped file as an argument and return the path of the unzipped file (extracting to the same folder)

Code:
Public Function UnZipFile(strFile As String) As String
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
Dim objFSO As Object
Dim objShellApp As Object
Dim strUnzipped As String

[code]...

But the code has no effect (i.e., I'm still left with just the zipped file in the folder, not the unzipped contents?) strFile is a legitimate path to an existing .zip file which contains a zipped .xls file

Code:
objShellApp.Namespace(.GetAbsolutePathName(strFile)).Items

...but found that the .Count property was 0?I've done several searches on how to unzip files using VBA and this seems to be the universally accepted method.

Modules & VBA :: Run A Query And Export To Specific Folder As Excel File

Oct 13, 2014

In VBA I have set a timer on a form to run a query and export to a specific folder as an excel file.

If I open the database as 'File Open' and open the form and let the timer run it exports perfectly.

As soon as I put the database into runtime - the Timer code kicks in and starts running but as soon as it hits the export line. It stops and then does nothing

I have tried several combinations of either:

- docmd.runsavedimportexport "Query"
- docmd.outputTo acquery etc ...

Modules & VBA :: How To Save File From Attachment Field To External Folder

Modules & VBA :: Copying File To Specified Folder And Updating Records With New Location?

Jan 28, 2015

I'm currently working on a database to track and inventory documents in my organization similar to a library catalog, but with a digital archive as well. I'll need the ability to "attach" documents to records in the main inventory (though using links instead of storing it in the db) and have the documents live in a centrally accessible location on our shared server.

I will need to have this function work through a few different tables and in a few different iterations, but I'm trying to work on the simplest part first, which is attaching a thumbnail/preview of a given document to the record for that document.

I've got some VBA working well which opens the file picker and copies the file to a directory relative to the DB. It also creates a folder with each employee's ID number if it doesn't exist already (which it gets from the Windows log in) and adds "Copied_" to the front of the file.

Now I'm trying to get the VBA code to interact with the record. Presumably I need to tell the form button I'm using to launch the VBA code to pass the primary key of the record being displayed to VBA. Then, at the end of the VBA code I need to take that value and find the record again from VBA so I can update the MediaThumbnailLink in the original record.

Does this order of operations make sense? If so, how should I go about passing these values back and forth and writing the new link value?

Here's the VBA I'm using so far...

Code:
Option Compare Database
Public Sub GoCopyThumbnail()
Dim fDialog As FileDialog
Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
Dim varFile As Variant
Dim LUser As String

[Code] ....

Hi And A Hope Of Help Over Listing File Names In Access

Nov 14, 2006

Hi, newbie here to this forum, been looking about for ages to try and find an access based forum.

I am not a great coder, have not really done it, nor remotely understand it, but I have still managed to write a database in access for the office.

We run a residential care home, where we had 5 databases (MS Works) which held different information of the residents within the home but duplicated name, dob, etc. I have successfully writen a access database which works well. But now I want to start pushing it a degree further if I can.

We took delivery of a HP officejet all in one printer, and it has a scanner with document feeder which we scan letters in so we can share them with head office, but what I would really like to do, is scan letters in relating to a specific client, and be able to save the file name as a link, so an other user on an other PC can open the document on their PC. Basically, I want to avoid us going to the filing cabinet to refer to a letter which was written to us.

I am using XP Home, with Office 2003 Pro, and Acrobat 8 Pro.

Any ideas where to even start looking?? I did do a search, but have no idea how to start.

Thanks in advance.

Get Table Names From Another Database File VB Code

Nov 6, 2013

I'm trying to find all the table names from another database file using VB code. This is what i have so far:

Code:
Function getFileNameOpen(path) As String
Dim f As Object
Dim varFile As Variant
Set f = Application.FileDialog(3)

[Code] ....

This function will show a browser window so that the user can select a file, and returns the file path.

Code:
Function OpenFile()
Call getFileNameOpen(path)
Dim db As Database
Dim td As TableDef
Database = path

[Code] ....

I have this function. I need to get all the table names from the selected access file into a list so I can do a for loop after.

I can't figure out how to set the CurrentDb() to the path one. This code gives me the table names and some other names of stuff which I don't know what they are. But for the current database not the one in the path.
