I am making a new database. And I want to confirm that I can do all the following in Access 2007 and how is best to do it.
1) A form where I can define:a unique Email Number starting at 1. a directory eg "C:UsersPaulDesktop101 - Brick House" an email address. a Recipient Name a Category for the email. Choosing either "Working" or "Complete". This would be part of the email subject.
2) a button which onclick lists all the files in the defined directory to a box on the form.
3) a button which onclick exports a report containing the list of files to PDF. Then attaches a zip of these files and the PDF report to an email in Outlook for revision before sending.
4)In Outlook the subject would be:
"The Directory Name" - "The Category" - "The Email Number" "101 - Brick House - Working - Email 1"
5)In Outlook the body would simply be the subject of the email followed by the filenames of the 2 attached files, ie the PDF report and the zip.
Currently, I'm taking my unread emails, storing them in a table then sending any Excel files to a specified folder I've modified some code I found while surfing and it works great but I'd really like to send the attachment name and file path with the email recordset. It's been a long day so maybe it's super simple. Below is my code. Office 2010 Windows 8.1
PHP Code:
Function ReadInbox() Dim TempRst As DAO.Recordset Dim OlApp As Outlook.Application Dim Inbox As Outlook.MAPIFolder Dim Atmt As Outlook.Attachment Dim InboxItems As Outlook.Items
Dim dbs As DAO.Database Dim rsQuery As DAO.Recordset Set dbs = CurrentDb Set rsQuery = dbs.OpenRecordset("myQuery") Set rsImage = rsQuery.Fields("Images").Value While Not rsImage.EOF rsImage.Fields("FileData").SaveToFile "C:UsersmyNameDesktop" rsImage.MoveNext Wend
I have a order database and i receive invoices from suppliers and there are different users updating the records. I want to save the invoices in shared folder so all of the users can view/access the invoices.
I have the code below which takes information from a form on access and sends it over to the correct place on an excel spreadsheet template. This works fine but I then need it to save and send on outlook.
The issue I am having is that the saved document is not attaching to the e-mail. The subject etc all work fine but the excel spreadsheet just doesn't attach. When I go into the folder I have specified for the document to be saved in it isn't there either. :0(
The code for the e-mail "callmail" function works perfectly for word documents but I don't know if it is different for an excel file.
Code:
Private Sub Command154_Click() On Error Resume Next Dim appExcel As Excel.Application Dim wbook As Excel.Workbook Dim wsheet As Excel.Worksheet Set appExcel = New Excel.Application
So I have this relatively simple problem: I need to create a button that once clicked will open the Save As dialog box and allow the user to save a copy of the current database where he wishes. The filename should contain todays date in DDMM format along with some pre-set text e.g. DDMM PresetText.
I have a few selected reports on an Access 2007 database that users can run. Is there a way for users to view the report, save as a PDF and automatically save a copy to a shared drive by modules/vba coding as an On Click event procedure?
I need code for save dialog file ,and select the file from textbox and save it to the selected location.i have only this code and i dont know what else i can do with this because it just opens the save file dialog !
I need to generate 1 email with 3 attachments from an Access Db. These attachments are canned reports that are generated each week with fresh data.
I've done several searches and found a lot of good information here. Based on what I've read, I decided to output the 3 reports to a folder in My Documents and then automate Outlook to send the message.
I've used the output function to create the 3 files. No Problem, works well.
Then I found this code for automating Outlook. (Pasted below) I can get it to work (following either step 7 or step 8 below) but only if I include the attachment path in the SendMessage command.
Assuming the full paths are: C:My DocumentsReport1.snp C:My DocumentsReport2.snp C:My DocumentsReport3.snp
how do I modify the code to automatically attach all 3 files?
Any ideas? As always, thanks for taking the time to help, BeckieO
Sub SendMessage(Optional AttachmentPath) Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application Dim objOutlookMsg As Outlook.MailItem Dim objOutlookRecip As Outlook.Recipient Dim objOutlookAttach As Outlook.Attachment
' Create the Outlook session. Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
' Create the message. Set objOutlookMsg = objOutlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With objOutlookMsg ' Add the To recipient(s) to the message. Set objOutlookRecip = .Recipients.Add("Henny Penny") objOutlookRecip.Type = olTo
' Add the CC recipient(s) to the message. Set objOutlookRecip = .Recipients.Add("Lucky Ducky") objOutlookRecip.Type = olCC
' Set the Subject, Body, and Importance of the message. .Subject = "This is an Automation test with Microsoft Outlook" .Body = "Last test - I promise." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf .Importance = olImportanceHigh 'High importance
' Add attachments to the message. If Not IsMissing(AttachmentPath) Then Set objOutlookAttach = .Attachments.Add(AttachmentPath) End If
' Resolve each Recipient's name. For Each objOutlookRecip In .Recipients objOutlookRecip.Resolve If Not objOutlookRecip.Resolve Then objOutlookMsg.Display End If Next .Send
End With Set objOutlookMsg = Nothing Set objOutlook = Nothing End Sub
7. To test this procedure, type the following line in the Immediate window, and then press ENTER: SendMessage "C:My DocumentsCustomers.txt"
8. To send the message without specifying an attachment, omit the argument when calling the procedure, as follows:SendMessage
I have a database for which the user can "attach" supporting files. Currently I handle this by putting a button on the form. The button opens the folder related to the current record via windows explorer. The user is then free to open any file contained, or drag and drop new files if needed. It works reasonably well.
But there is no indication when you look at the form if there are any files attached or not.
First, if anyone can point me to a better way to handle this, (it bugs me that there are thousands of folders being created to each hold a file or two), I would appreciate that. The typical attachment is a message dragged and dropped out of Outlook.
Second, assuming I continue doing things this way, I am thinking I would like to add a listbox to the form. When the form moves to a new record, I would populate the list box with the name of any files found. I know how to do that, but to which event would I be attaching this code?
I am looking for a way to attach X amount of pictures to a record. I want to use a command button that opens an explorer to choose X amount of files. I don't want to just open a folder because that won't return the file location.
I am trying to find the VBA code that adds attachments currently stored in the database to an email. Currently, I have a button that will email the report refernced on my input form. My attachments are stored in a table, but I have built a query for my attachments that wil filter based off the referenced report on the input form. Below is my VBA code to email a report.
Private Sub Command587_Click() Dim stReport As String Dim stWhere As String Dim stSubject As String Dim NCRNum As String
How to view the file names of attached files in Access 2010 using a Web Database, specifically the Contacts Web Database that is a template in Access.
Currently it only shows one PDF icon for all my PDF files. I would like to be able to view the file names of all the PDFs in the attachment field. While I'm certain this can't be done within the same field as the attachment box (though would be nice), I would think it would be possible to populate another field with this information.
I have experimented with different things with no luck using a new standard database for testing purposes. The closest I've come was using the SubForm/SubReport; it actually gave me the values for the attachment... see in the picture below.
But even then, it did not work and gave a error: Invalid Control Property: Control Source
I am creating a database that needs to store a large number of pictures. I have a component that we're working on that needs 100 photos of specific details taken and stored.
I have created two separate tables.
One that includes four fields, ID, Component Number PhotoType and an attachment field.
The second table has ID,Photo Type and in this table I've coded 100 records detailing the photos I need. This is used as a lookup field for the first table.
What I would Like to accomplish from this point is to be able to add 100 fields onto the form for the user to click on the attachment and then save the specific photo that corresponds. How do i edit the control source of the attachment item on the form so that it is specific to one component number, and one phototype?
I'm sure this is here somewhere but I just can't find it.
I have a form where a selection of suppliers are selected, I then want to email each supplier a report attachment - headed up with their particular details - for them to complete and return.
I can use the SendObject to send one email with all reports attached, how do I split it up? Can I split it up?
Hi i am working with a database that contains customer information and sometimes files and attachments will need to be saved into the database. I presume i will have to save the attachments somewhere and then link to them, but i really haven't a clue where to start. Does anybody have any information about this or even know where i can look for information! Thanks in advance! Treasa
I currently have a code set up which sends an attachment from a drive on my computer to all the email addresses in a certain query. I would like to change the code so that I can add a button that will allow me to send an email with a specific attachment depending on their individual code in a table, e.g each person will receive a specific attachment. At the moment, the attachments are saved with the same file name as the person's specific code.The code I am currently using is:
Private Sub Command9_Click() Dim MyDb As DAO.Database Dim rsEmail As DAO.Recordset Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef Dim prm As DAO.Parameter Dim strEmail As String Dim strMsg As String Dim oLook As Object
I have a table called "tblTasks" and the table allows users to attach files to a task they wish to assign to a resource in their respective department. I have based a query on this table that returns the tasks associated with a given resource; however when the resource tries to view the attachment via a Subform - the Subform is based on the query - the attachment field does not yield any understandable results. The query is correct because all of the other data for the tasks show up perfectly; however the attachment, for some reason, is missing.
I'm working on a database for work that email's the current record after the form is completed. I have a attachment field in the table called Photo and some record's have a photo attached and other's don't. The code below works great with records that have a photo attached, but I get a path not found if I try to email a record that does not have a photo. I know that I need to put some form of code to check the photo field for a attachment, but I'm having a brain fade as to just what the code is.
Code: Private Sub eMail_Report_Click() Dim oFilesys, oTxtStream As Object Dim txtHTML As String Dim appOutLook As Outlook.Application Dim MailOutLook As Outlook.MailItem
First, I'm developing both the Front End and Back End in Access 2007, and I intend to distribute the application using the Access Run Time. The powers that be will not let me use SQL Server.
The database is required to house attachments. Initially, I had created a separate back end database to store the attachments, but the file would quickly grow beyond the 2GB limit - roughly within 3 weeks. Instead, I decided to save the "attachments" in folders (named after the parent records PK ID) on the network. Using VBA, I would populate a list, based on the parent record, from which the user could select the file, do what needs to be done, then save it.
Unforunately, we're running into data security issues - all of the attachments will have private personal information - SSNs, Loan Numbers, Account Numbers etc., so they need to be stored in a location that's not universally accessible. All of the users have different permissions based on their department, acting as a very basic security level (i.e., Department 1 users will not be able to view any parent records associted with departments 2 or 3).
So I need a way for my back end to take a file located in a separate directory not normally available to the Front End User, then move that file (or save a copy that will be overwritten when re-attached to the record) to a location that IS accessible to my Front End User.
Can I create/use modules stored on the back end?
My first thought is to let the back end store the record in a temporary attachment table that is deleted when the user is done with it, but I've noticed that Access has trouble reclaiming the space when the attachment is ultimately deleted once the user is done using it, and I'll run into my 2GB limit again.
Alternatively, I could create a new .accdb file each time the record's attachments need to be accessed, and then delete that database once it's done and the attachments are returned to the secure location, solving my limit problems.
I have a Database with a field that holds several attachments. I want to make a command button for a form that will open the attachment window that pops up when you double click on the attachment in the table. attach_fig7(1).gif.. I'd like the above window to open when I click the command button.
I am working with access 2010 and I have a database that has attachments in the table. I have set up a query to in by database but every time I have a record with 2 or more attachments on it it shows that record as two different records in my query. I am wondering if there is a way I can make the query show one record and to be able to view attachments like in the original table.
