Populate Attachment Field Based On Combobox Selection
Jan 8, 2013I am creating a Database to track product details and inventory for items we purchase.
I have several Tables and several Forms already working properly, except for one thing.
I have a Form called "Lights", and it contains a ComboBox called Light_Name and 6 TextBoxes: Manufacturer, Model_Number, Cost, Weight, Light_Type, Notes. It also has an Attachment Field linked to the same table.
I am using the Code:
Me.TEXTBOX = Me.Light_Name.Column(#)
to populate the Textboxes with the relevant info from the Light Table.
This works for every Textbox I have.
However I cannot get the Attachment Box to change. And when I try to add code to it I get a debug error. The Attachments are PDFs and I need them to show based on the ComboBox Selection.
I have tried the same code as above, and as I said, it gives me an error.
General :: Reference For Attachment Field When Creating Query

Forms :: Display Attachment Image Based On Combo Box Selection
Jul 13, 2013I'm working on a wine database (for ages now...). I'm currently struggling getting the following to work. I have a form in which one can select the name and vintage of a wine using a combo box, after which also a picture will be shown of that wine. I have the pictures as attachments in a table. One can then press a button to close this form and go to another form in which one can edit all the details of the selected wine. Problem: I can't get the picture to show.
I have a reasonably simple form with a combo box, a text box, a button and an attachment field in which a picture should show.
I made a query to select the id, name and vintage from the wine table. I couldn't select the attachment field for the pic in the wizard, so I added that myself in the Design View. The Query for the combo box now reads:
Code:
SELECT Wijn.Id, Wijn.Naam, Wijn.Vintage, Wijn.Plaatje FROM Wijn ORDER BY Wijn.[Naam], Wijn.[Vintage];
(translation: Naam = name | Plaatje = picture)
It neatly shows name and vintage in the drop down list. Once selected it only shows the name of the wine in the combo box and I use VBA to fill the Text Box with the vintage of the selected wine. The VBA I use is:
Code:
Private Sub cmbNaamWijn_Change()
Me.txtVintage.Value = Me.cmbNaamWijn.Column(2)
End Sub
All works fine. Also when I pres the button, the wine I selected opens up and can be editted and the select form nicely closes. The only problem is the fact that I cannot get the picture to show!
I inserted an attachment field with the name: attImage. In the VBA code I added the line:
Code:
Me.attImage.Picture = Me.cmbNaamWijn.Column(3)
Doesn't work. With debugging I do see it gets the correct value form the table. I get an error message stating "Method or data member not found", so Picture is not available for the attachment object I guess. If I look at what is available, I can't select anything useful. So my next try was adding an image control with the name: ImageWine and the VBA code in the On Change property
Code:
Me.ImageWine.Picture = Me.cmbNaamWijn.Column(3)
results in the following: Run-time error '2220'. Microsoft Access can't open the file '[FilenamePicture]'. Logical in a way I guess, since there's no path in there. I also tried the Bound Object Frame, but that resulted in the same problem as the attachment try described above.
Tables :: Attachment Field With No Subfields
Feb 11, 2015I wanted to add a field of " Attachment" to an existing table an as usual, I entered field name " Attach" and the Data Type , I chose "Attachment". Then saved.
Checked with the Datasheet view, there it is, tried to click on the field , the dialog box appeared. cool
The strange part is when I want to put an attachment field in a form , there were no sub fields only one word "Attachment", there is no + or - .
I tried to add the field to the form so I can add attachments, but it stayed there like a normal field.
why my attachment field do not carry the sub fields of attachment like attachment-FileData, attachment-FileType and attachment -File Name.
General :: Attachment Field Types

How this will affect the performance of the database? Will adding this field greatly increase the size of the database and slow the whole database down?

Jan 16, 2014I had the bright idea of creating an Attachment field for each record in my database so that the source material for the record (usually a PDF) could be opened and reviewed easily. A few people have asked me not only for the data but copies of the source files as well - is there a way to export attachments from every field into a directory instead of going one-by-one?
View 4 Replies View RelatedAppend Tables With Attachment Field
Sep 21, 2013I have two databases that I need to merge into one. The structure of each DB is identical, however the data is different. My original thought was to import all the tables into one DB, then use Append queries to merge the similar tables. The problem is that the main table in each DB has an Attachment field (using the Attachment data-type). After doing some research, it seems that you cannot use an Append query that references a table that contains a multivalued field (such as the Attachment data-type).
Every record has at least one attachment stored in this field, so removing the Attachment field is not possible. So my question is, if I have two identical tables, each with an Attachment field, how can I combine them into one table?
The only idea I had was to write a VBA procedure that would loop through all the records in the main table and save each attachment in a folder outside the DB, then delete the attachments. I could then merge the two tables using an Append query. Finally, I would run another VBA procedure that would load each saved file back to the appropriate record in the DB. The procedure that saves the attachments would have to write the primary key for the record they were attached to in the filename (or create a new sub-folder that is named with the primary key value), then the procedure that loads the files could read that value from the file or folder name and know which record to attach the file to.
General :: Audit Trail Of Attachment Field?
Nov 27, 2013I have been using Access for quite some time now and I am able to usually work around many of the issues that come with being a small timer, like me, taking his best shot at Access; however one issue I have had absolutely no luck with is auditing a new and/or change made to an "Attachment Field". I have successfully been able to audit every type of field with the exception of the "Attachment Field".

Tables :: Splitting Attachment Field From Table
Jul 4, 2013I have a database composed of personal statistics. (name, age, height, wt, etc). I have two attachment fields. Photos and Videos. Each of these fields can contain more that one file. The size of the video attachments is starting to get me up close to the 2 GB database limit. If each attachment field contained only one file, I would convert the fields over to a path link. I'm stumped on how to move the files out of the main database to control the size, but maintain the multi-file link to my forms. How to restructure this?

Database Not Working After Adding Attachment Field?
Aug 5, 2013I created a database a while ago which has been working just fine, until I wanted to make one addition: an attachement field to one of its tables.
If I do so, some queries don't work anymore and as a result of that, some (sub)forms do not work. The only error I get is: The search key was not found in any record.
When I add an other kind of field (like a text field), the problem does not occur..
When I remove the attachment field again, everything works fine again...

Queries :: Field Header In Query Based On Other Field Data

The "PLACE" field in table A has data that is 01, 02, 03, ect.... How do I structure a query so that whatever "PLACE" is, I can match the XX TOTAL value? In other words, i need to have the query field header be somehow dependent on the value in "PLACE".
Is this even possible?

Select Query Based On Another Field Value
Jun 28, 2007Hi,
I am trying to write a query that looks at a set of parts that are assigned to the same "Asset" number, and takes the sum of all prices for that collection of parts.
I have the query set up to do this without any problem. Where I am stuck is that in the table containing the details of parts, there are three possible prices. What I need it to do is take price c if there is no value in prices b or a, price b if there is no price in price a (otherwise take price a).
I have tried this using the criteria ="price a" = 0 AND "price b" = 0 (for price c)
and ="price a" = 0 (for price b criteria). When I run the query I get a "Data type mismatch in query expression" error.
Can anyone advise?
Thanks,
Ryan
Default Value In A Field Based On A Query

I have a query which returns 1 value (The description associated with the maximum ID in the table).
I have a Text box on a form and I would like the default value of the text box to be the the value from the above query.
I have tried to build an expression using the expression builder by selecting the query and the field that I am interested in, in that query but I can't seem to get it working.
Could anyone please advise how I can assign a result from a query to the default value of a field on a form.
Many Thanks
