Anyone know how to run a bat file from Access.
This is what I am trying....I see the DOS window pop up and then its gone...the .bat does not appear to be running.
Call Shell(Environ$("COMSPEC") & " /c F:BAT_File_Storagedir_list.bat", vbNormalFocus)
ADDITIONALLY I want to replace "F:BAT_File_Storagedir_list.bat" with variable. What woudl be the correct syntax for that?
.
I have made a form on access which will be used by other employees within the company, however they have never used access before and they are wanting to access only just the form as I feel with Access and all the tools in the background will confuse them, plus I don't want them editing the data base its self.
Is there a way to only bring up the form, unless I obviously need to edit the date base.
I've done some research on Google and it seems I need to use:
SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE
However I can not seem to find how I would use this or where?
and also if i did find a way to only bring up the form, how would I be able to switch it from that veiw to the veiw I edit in?
Having a problem here after installing 2007. All my previously created databases work fine in 2007 (after clicking the enable, which is a pain,but don't know any other way) When I return to 2002 and try to open the databases I get different errors all something like this on....... "The expression On Open you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: Object or class does not support the set of events. Whats up here?????I have found a site here...http://allenbrowne.com/bug-17.htmlMentions this problem,but refers to Vista..... Does the same apply to XP? And which is the best fix?

The company I am consulting with uses Access 2000 and has no intentions of upgrading. I currently do not own Access on my laptop.
I was planning to purchase Access 2003 for my laptop but am concerned that files I create in 2003 might not be "editable" in 2000 even if I choose the 2000 format when creating new databases.
I'm just wondering if anyone has tried creating a file in 2003 (using the 2000 format - as I'm told you can choose what format you want to use) and then edited it in 2000. I want my client to be able to edit the files in 2000 once I've moved on. (I can get 2003 for about the same price as 2000 - so my preference would be to get 2003.) The other obvious reason for going for 2003 is that I could run into the reverse challenge if I own 2000 and my next client uses 2003. At that point, I'd be forced to upgrade to 2003.
My databases are not complex - but do include some customized macros.
Any help, comments... appreciated.
Thx,
dave
Does anyone know that path to the folder that the dll files are stored in that Access uses?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI run several databases daily - after running two of them (at different times), the database itself closes but the Access program stays open. In order to close that program, I have to close it out using the Task Manager.
Any suggested solutions? Thanks (as always) for your assistance.

Hello, I have volunteered to do a database for the school of nursing to use at a small Christian University using Microsoft Access 2003. I have Students, and each of these students is going to take each of these 12 nursing courses. Each nursing course has a specific number of credit hours (2,3,6, etc.) and they are to receive a grade for each class (on a 4 point scale, so their grades are going to be a number 0 for F through 4 for an A). I need to have access calculate a running GPA which only takes into consideration the classes they have completed thus far. Any help would be appreciated. I can do it in excel by just leaving the row for untaken courses blank, then autosumming the credit hours column for total hours taken. I can use a formula for each row that just multiplies the grade (like 4.0) by the credit hours (like 3) and get a total grade points of 12 for that course. Then I can add those numbers up(autosum the total grade points column) and devide by the calculated autosum number I would call total hours. I hope it is clear what I am trying to do and why I don't know how to do it in Access. ***************Extra Info*********
I have a student table and each student has a unique studentID, I have a second table called Nursing grades which I have a Student ID field, and 2 fields for each class a grade recieved and a credit hours field (ex. I have PharmacologyGR and PharmacologyCH, NursingResearchGR and NursingResearchCH). If I need to redesign how I have my tables I can do that, I have a unique Course ID for each course I could put in if needed. Basically, I'll do whatever it takes to get this to work.
Thank you so much for even reading this far, and any help would be appreciated more than you know.
Hello,
I have an Access application which was written on Access 2.0. I need to run it (as is). I saw that it was possible to run it using some kind of Access 2.0 runtime environment - my client uses the following command to run the application:
Msarn200.exe application.mdb /ini application.ini
Where can I get this MSARN200? Do I have to find the Access 2.0 installation itself?
Is there anyway to use Access to run reminders?
I am trying to figure out the easiest way to have a reminder pop-up to run a letter for specific reps that would happen every 3 months.
Thanks for any help on this.
I am trying to count records in a running sum fashion in a QUERY and for the records to restart when the field changes. I tried DCount without success.

C103 1
C103 2
C103 3
C104 1

does anyone ever have problems with constant crashing. it just crashes for no reason, i'll just start typing some code then CRASH. i'm all up to date according to mircosoft.

I have just installed the windows version of Access 2010 on OSX Mountain Lion using a program called Crossover which works very similarly to WINE. I have found that Access will install fine except for VBA form modules and BAS modules, although there seems to be no indication that they did not install as the entire install progresses fine.
I've put together an invoicing program that was created in Access 2010 in Windows but have transferred it over to Access 2010 installed on OSX. It contains a number of forms with code but when I go to VBE, form code modules are not visible. When I try to view the code for a form I get the following error message: "Microsoft Access failed to create the Visual Basic module. If your database is on a network drive, check your network connection, then try again". I was able to insert a BAS module and create a rudimentary VBA subroutine which ran without error so it does seem able to interpret VBA as per normal.
I have to write a code for my database,i have folder with files "pending Review" and a table with column "tblExcelLocation". when i run my database all the files from pending review folder goes to "tblExcelLocation" on a click of button.But,if the files already exists it should not insert those files and insert the rest.For this i tried to write a code but i think i m unable to do that .
Code:
Loop through files in folder
folderspec = "O:QA FilesQC ReportingPending Review"
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fs.GetFolder(folderspec)
Set fc = f.files
[code]...
:confused: is ther anyway to lock ms access files , so that people would not be able to modify then and only view them, would not get to vbs screen etc, and give a limited password that will expire in given ammount of time.

We are running two versions of Access (97 and 2003) on some of our machines. We recently set up a new workgroup file, but it seems that on the machines that have the two versions of Access the workgroup file reverts back to the old setting everytime the user logs in again.
What do we need to do to prevent the workgroup file from switching back?
Thanks
Hello,
Complete Access Newbie here. I am trying to create a Customer Complaints / Quality Assurance database and I am pretty much sorted except for one final thing that I wouldn't mind doing.
Because there is often a lot of support evidence with a complaint I wish to add this electronically to a record (it could be a Word Doc, Excel, jpg...etc..etc). So that whenever there is a link to the document to the supporting document on the record.
So really looking for an Add (and Browse for button) on the Form for each record.
Hope I have my dilema clear. Thanks. :)
Hello
For some reason Access will not allow me to open any mdb files. When i click on the file to open Microsoft opens the install wizard for office 2000 and asks for disc 2. If i press ok its says DATA2.msi is missing.
However if i open access through the Programs menu and then go and search for the mdb file i can open it with no problems.
My question is how to solve this problem as i have to copy give someone a copy of one of my databases and i don't want to pass on any bugs etc... ???
Help!
I have no problems creating an MDE file from a newly created database but the system hangs when I try to do the same with a former Access 2000 database that I converted.
Any ideas?
Hello all
This morning I converted an Access 97 db to Access 2003. Unfortunately the db will not now open any .pcx files. Does anybody know if there is there an issue with .pcx files. According to MSDN Access should (and you would expect it to) open .pcx files. I did notice that when office 2003 is installed it does not install the pcx graphics filter PCXIMP32.FLT and it does not appear in the graphics conversion tools download for 2003.

Hi all.
I have been asked to develop two DB apps in Lotus Notes which filled me with despair since I would rather do this in Access 2003 but aparantly Notes can hold files. I know Access can link to files stored on a network but can Access match up to Notes in this feature and actually hold files the ame way as Notes ?
Any advice on this is greatly appreciated.

I am trying to link a table from an admin system in Access. I'm not real confident that I will be using the correct terms here, so please bear with me. We recently migrated our admin system from Unix to NT. When we did that, the ODBC driver that we used to use to link to a table through Access changed to something that is called file.ddf. I have been able to run a Crystal Report by going through various steps:
Database file path:
cin********file.ddf
Then I have to Set Location in Crystal:
cin***filelocation (example)
However, I can only seem to run a report against one table at a time.
I like working with Access a whole lot better than Crystal but nobody here knows how to set it up in Access.
Is there a way to do this?
I know I probably didn't give all the information needed, and maybe it's not even possible, but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

how do i Import the data from text files so that i can create the database structure?
for example i have 3 files called - data.txt, booking.txt and, other.txt and want them imported into access?
this is because these tables will be holding all the entities etc
Thanks in advance
I've been reading everywhere on this site trying to find out how
to do this, but just can't seem to grasp it. I see people saying it can
be done, but can't find more specific details on how to go about it. I
just want to view a pdf file from within the access environment. I need
to be able to view contracts from my app, and joy oh joy they are all
in PDF form.
Any help is greatly appreciated to get me started on this. I've
tried using the Active X Adobe Acrobate Control but to no avail.
I would like to be able to print PDF Files from MS Access 97. I have a table with records containing all the information necessary to create full pathname of the file (i.e. strPathName). But how do I get it to print (not view) the file once the record is selected from a drop-down box. Do I have to create a module to do this? Or is there some simple trick? If anyone has come code for doing this, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I need to open the DBF Files in the code using a connection string or any other method available through code.
Thanx
