Problem Pasting Hyperlinks In Access
Dec 21, 2004
Trying to paste hyperlinks in main table - Access allowed me to paste one - using the edit-paste hyperlink function- however now and forevermore that function is "grayed out" and I can no longer paste hyperlinks - I need to past approximately 1400 hyperlinks into a table so that the user can access secure intranet sites by clicking on the appropriate field in the form view -
If I can't get this to work...is it possible to run a macro from a command button on the form to open Internet explorer, paste stated text into the address bar (example www.) and then paste data from a field in the form into the string in the address bar, and then finally, follow up with stated text.
Example would be: Field=1234567
Macro opens explorer and pastes "www.testwebpage1234567toprovepoint.com into the address bar.
thanks...

Hello,
I'd like an easy way for my users to be able to transfer data from Excel to Access. Basically, I'd like them to manually create a new parent record, and paste into an empty text box new child records. Then, when they clicked finish, I'd grab the info in the text box and put it in the appropriate tables. The trouble is - I have no clue how to do this. If someone could tell me how to get data pasted into a textbox into a table, I could figure the rest out. Any advice?
Thanks,
Eric

When I am working in the tutorial which is shown in the below link:
[URL]
when I copy from Clarksville.xlsx the employees names and try to paste into a new Access database*. It says:
Text is Too Long to be Edited
I am unsure what to do next to deal with this error. The internet says to increase the size of the cell where the text is being pasted. I am not sure how to do that.

Hi,
I am a newbie at Access and this forum. Here is the question I have a database set-up in Access'97 which recently got converted to Access'03. Now previously database reside on my computer and I have a field that holds hyperlinks to documents which were set as relative paths. Now the database has been moved to another location..where ofcourse the relative path don't work, as the parent directory is different. There are a huge number of records in the database with hyperlinks. I need to convert all relative path to absolute paths. Is there an easier and faster way of doing this? Perhaps via a query? I don't want to do this one by one.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I have a 2 part question. I'm looking to enter the names of different files that I have for a particular client so that they appear/pop up as a list in a subform in "real time". I'd also like those file names to be hyperlinks to their actual location on my server. Is there any way to do this?

I am creating a database that basically holds product information. The different fields I have is Supplier, Product Code, Product Description.
For each product I have a product specification in a word document the names of these specifications follow this convention: [Supplier]&[Product Code] e.g. Coca Cola012345
I need a hyperlink to link to the relevant word document, but rather than going through and setting them up one by one I want the hyperlink to be self calculating depending on the information entered in the fields.
I tried typing in the following in the hyperlink address part in the properties:
=[Supplier]&[Product Code]&".doc"
but it seems to read it exactly as I type it in and obviously does not work.
Can anyone suggest a way round this or perhaps a completely different way of doing it which may be more effective???
Thanks in anticipation of your help.

I'm having a problem changing the hyperlinks in my access table.the hyperlinks point to locations of various documents on the server i.e. Server Quality DocumentsDoc1.docx
we have 2 domains at work so on one domain the hyper link works but on the other it doesn't.I did a find and replace so i have formatted all hyperlinks as such..Server.mydomain.localQualityDocumentsDoc1.doc x
However, this approach hasn't worked as it has only altered the 'text to display' and not the actual address (if i right click the hyperlink -> edit hyperlink the address is still ServerQualityDocumentsDoc1.docx).Is there away to change the Address fields of all the hyperlinks in one go?

I have a table with fields of Title, Description, and URL. I have a report with a text box, IsHyperlink set to yes and Control Source set to =[Title] & "#" & [URL] & "#" . When I open the report in report view, it works great - the Title is displayed as a hyperlink and if I click it, I go to the URL. However, if I export the report to rtf or excel, I only get the Title - it is not a hyperlink. How to get the display text (Title) and hyperlink address (URL) from the access report to Word rtf and excel.

I have built an Access 2010 split database on my computer and it functions as built. My next step was to copy it to the server at work and test it. I discovered the tables had to be re-linked and so did that. As I have read in the Access World Forums in order to function as a multi-user database a copy of the front end must be placed on the individual workstation with the back end residing on the server, however the hyperlinks in the back end will not function when the copy on the workstation is run. I simply get an unable to open "filename" error pop-up. I can run the server copy and everything functions as built. I know that the hyperlinks require all the files to be in the same folder (relative vs. absolute), but if the back end contains all the hyperlinks why does the location of the front end seem to affect the operation of the back end?

Hello All,
I'm having trouble pasting a series of records of text from an excel sheet to a table in access.
The field (Instructions) in the main table gets its values from another table (Instructions) with Inst_ID(autonumber) + Text.
The (Instructions) table was constructed based on the unique values found in the pool of all records (611) in the excel sheet - 102 unique records.
The problem occurs when i paste the bulk of records (611) to the field in the main table - stating that #The text is too long to be edited"
- My Field Size for the respective field in the main table is set to "LongInteger"
- In the Instructions Table the text records are set as "Memo"
What happens is that only 529 of the 611 records are allowed to be pasted the remainder end up in the "Paste Errors" table, which i then confirm exist in the Instructions Table.
This also happens for other fields where i attempt the same approach (unique values from excel to table, then pasting of 611 records to respective field in the main table) but here i'm able to paste a mere 30, 52, ... records of the total of 611.
Reading through the forum for this subject i found that what could be done (Long Integer + Memo), I believe, has already been done.
So i was hoping someone could provide some help for this issue, or to figure out if what i'm trying to do is not possible.
It must be said that some of the Instruction's text really have a large character count but certainly less than 65,xxx (memo)
Thanks for any help provided. :)
Kind regards,
Ode.

Hi, I have a table holding data with each record allocated an Autonumber data type. I accidentally deleted some of these records, although they are still present in another table. How do i paste them from this other table into my current table, allowing them to keep their original autonumbers instead of just adding them to the end?
(eg - I have records with Autonumbers 1,2,3,4,5 and after deleting 3 and 4 i have 1,2,5.
I need to paste records 3 and 4 (from other table) so as they again become 3 and 4 and not 6 and 7)
Thanks.

I am copying and pasting the results of an Access query to Excel for the purposes of using that data as the source for a VLOOKUP. However, it seems that no matter what I do the cells that were pasted from Access do not correspond to the same values that are in the lookup table in Excel. For example, I want to find the value ABC from column A of the pasted Access data to find the corresponding ABC in the Excel array. It doesn't consider it a match even though both cells are formatted the same way. I've even gone so far to test it by putting a logical comparison of the specific cells in another cell and it claims they are not the same even though the values are exactly the same. The only thing that seems to work is if I manually type over the value pasted from Access with the same value that is already in the cell. Then the VLOOKUP works. However, I am not about to go typing all these values manually. That's why I used an Access query. How do I get Excel to recognize that these values indeed match?

Hi,
Am not sure if its possible with access but have a hunch that it might not be something very difficult.
I have developed an access FE/BE application (in the network). The front-end users run query and view the results fine.
They copy (ctrl-C) the data from the query datasheet and paste (ctrl-V) it to Ms-Excel which I want to stop. Is there any way that I can stop/restrict them from copying the data and pasting it somewhere else. I want to stop this operation.
Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
I have a spreadsheet which has a large amount of data. It is organised by database structure. I'm aware of primary keys etc but what I want to avoid is creating each field as new.
For example I would like to copy the fields from excel and paste them to create feilds in access. I'm aware that I would have to manually input any special parameters. This would save me a couple of hours.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi there, and sorry for such a stupid question..
I'm just making the change from excel to access for my business.
Most things seem straightforward but I can't seem to paste a single value into multiple records.
For instance, I have a couple of hundred records. I add a new field. The first 70 records all have the same value (5) for this field. In excel I would put 5 in the top cell, copy it, select all the other cells and hit paste. Doesn't seem to work in access, just paste a single one at a time.
Best I can come up with is to copy and paste 1. Then copy and paste those 2, then those 4 and so on. This does the job for 200 records but I' wouldn't facy it for 20,000....
Is there a simple answer or is it a VBA job?
Cheers,
Dave

I am now trying to put in control source formulas. Like the one shown below on the far right.
I used to copy and paste them into the properties window - control source. That is not working - frequently only part of the formula gets in. The form does not work or gives bad information.
However, is that the only way that I know to cut and paste a formula into properties window?
I know that on the far right on the properties windows control source is an ellipsis (...) which opens up a window I think where could can paste the formula in.
The tutorial is here: [URL]....
Text Box
txtCustomerName
=IIf(IsNull([AccountNumber]),"",DLookUp("LastName","Customers","AccountNumber
= '" & [AccountNumber] & "'")+','+DLookUp("FirstName","Customers","AccountNumber
= '" & [AccountNumber] & "'"))

I currently have two forms both usedfor adding new records into two different tables. The problem I am having was first that I could not simply bring the value in the ID field over from one form to the next. Now all I would like to be able to do is copy the value in the first ID and Paste in the second ID field on the second form.
I am currently getting an error possibly because the ID field on the first form in the Primary key for the table that form is linked to, on the second form however ID field is not the Primary key, I also can't make it the primary key because their are duplicate records that I cannot delete.
So... is it possible to get around this somehow to be able to copy and paste from one form to another?

Okay I have an Orders Form, which generates a SubTotal Price (ex VAT), VAT, Shipping & Freight Charge based on an IIF statment of being under a 50.00 order apply 20.00 charge. And finally a Order Total with it all added together. This works fine, however I cannot seem to find a way to post these prices in my Orders Table. When I click on Datasheet View for the form, all the details appear as they should.

I have a table in MS Access naming "Salutation" and in the table I have 6 columns and each column named as Week No., Carry Forward records, new records, total records, processed records and pending records. Like below
Week No. Carry Forward records new records total processed pending
1 0 10 10 5 5
2 5 10 15 7 8
3 8 20 28 9 19
So now the requirement is every day pending records should get updated in the next row with in the same table under carry forward records of its next immediate day. For e.g. pending records of week number 1 which is 5 should get updated under carry forward records for week number 2 and so on.
