Save Snapshot As File

Mar 22, 2007

Hello,
I am using a useful function to save data of a form using the snapshot utility. I open the form, add or change data and sent the form to other users via e-mail. The snapshot uses a report. The code to do this is the following:

Me.Refresh
DoCmd.SendObject acReport, "EmailmyForm", "SnapshotFormat(*.snp)", "", "", "", "Action Required", "Please take action on the attached case.", False, ""

I was now thinking if it is possible to save the shapshot report as a file directly into a selected folder on my S drive (ex. S0000abmyfolder. I will need that the file is automatically named for my with the SSN present on the form.

Any idea or help? Thanks.

Save File?

Feb 9, 2008

Hi guys, little question.

I really like Access, I can manage well with it. But I have a problem, and I really wonder why this kind of thing happens in such a professional program using a lot of important data.

Actually the program saves automatically, and I don't like it. For example I try a little something, delete some stuff, replace by something else, and when I quit the program, it doesn't say a thing, and when I come back, the unimportant stuff I changed is still there, and what was replaced is lost. Why? Is there any way to force the program to ask if I want to save the changes?... It's really annoying and I really don't feel secure with my data with this system.

Thanks for your clues! :)

Modules & VBA :: Save As Variable File Name

Jun 13, 2013

I currently have a working model which opens up a word document template, fills the bookmarks with info from access, saves the file as a preset name and then send the document on Outlook.

What I would like to do is save the document as a variable, preferably as something like " Climbing Request for site (and then to lift the site name from Access form field and insert here) "

E.G " Climbing Request - Newcastle Central Station.doc"

The location of the site name on access is...

Code:

objWord.Selection.Text = Forms![Front Page]![Site 2 Owner]

Currently I save the document using the below code...

Code:

objWord.ActiveDocument.SaveAs2 FileName:="C:UsersmedesktopFrom Colino2test.docx"

This is the last step before "launching" my database automation.

Modules & VBA :: Save As Command With Variable File Name?

Aug 1, 2013

i'm using a form with an unbound text box to temporarily hold data that i want to use in several other places (all those functions work great). last step is to save the newly created table with a different name (will be used for a mail merge later so must be a separate table or else we'd have to filter thousands of records during each mail merge) and i want to use the data i've temporarily held in my unbound text box within my form as the name in the save as function.

can i specify a variable as a file name within the save as function? is there a better way?

Macro - Print To Adobe PDF File And Save As Database Name

Dec 16, 2004

Using Access 2000, I have a macro to generate a report by updating various make-table queiries. I would like for the macro to print the report to an Adobe PDF file and save the file as the database name.

When I manually print the report, it gives me the opition of selecting printers and Adobe PDF is listed as a printer. After selecting the "printer", a "Save As PDF" menu pops up and currently it lists the Access Report Name. I would like to use the database name as the name of the PDF file.

In short, when I execute the "Generate Report" macro, I want the end product to be a PDF file using the database name as the PDF file name.

Modules & VBA :: Save NOW (Date And Time) Into Event Log File

Oct 16, 2014

I want to save NOW() (i.e. Date and time) into an event log file. But I just cannot work out the syntax. My insert statement works fine without the date field in, but fails on a syntax error (3134) when I include it.

strsqlac = "INSERT INTO EventLog ( EventTime, User, EventType, EventMessage, DocRef, AutoSeq, CoCode ) " & _
" Values ( '" & Now() & "', '" & GlobUser & _
"', '" & Mess2 & _
"', '" & Mess1 & _
"', '" & Docref & _
"', " & AutoSeq & _
", '" & CoCode & _
"' );"

... it's the first column, EventTime that is the issue. I have tried several different ways of wrapping it in the VALUES () without success.

My database field EventTime is defined as a General date which Access 2007 tells me will give me date and time. That's what I want.

The Value formats I have tried (currently showing as 'NOW()' above, are ...

#NOW()#
#'NOW()'=
'#NOW()#'
and (as I say) 'NOW()'

Reports :: Unable To Save Report As Excel File

Jul 19, 2015

I want to save my report as excel file on the user computer with a click of a button. I have tried this code:

Private Sub Cmd_ReporttoExcel_Click()
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "Gastrolog Report", acFormatXLS, "C:UsersXXDocuments" & Format(Date, "yyyymmdd") & ".xls"
End Sub

But it is giving error 2282 - The format in which you are attempting to output the current object is not available.

The other part of this question is :

This is something similar when I didn't have "PDF add in " in access 2007, when I added PDF add in then option to save file in PDF was available in "output to" action of macro. There is nothing like excel add in. However when I can export the data in excel sheet by Export function in access why don't I have option to save file as excel in "output to " action in macro? I want to have this option so that user can click a button in the form rather than in the top ribbon try to find out how to transfer and save the excel sheet.

Creating A File Upload Function Where Selections Save The Document?

Sep 12, 2014

I work in a school where teachers have to archive their assessments and other documents monthly. Currently they email them to a set email address but I was wondering if it would be possible for me to make something with access whereby they can do this. I'd like to make a form where they selected their name and then attached a file, this file would then be saved in an area I would have assigned that persons name to, does this make sense? I want it to be very simple so just a name section from a dropdown then a file upload section and done.

Snapshot Defaults

Aug 6, 2007

I am having a problem with 3 pc's attached to our network but at a different campus. They have been complaining that the Snapshot Views of reports they are running are stopping the print queue by asking to load paper type 'bond' to the printer. I have checked the Snapshot Viewer printer settings on thoses machines and indeed they are defaulting to 'paper type - bond'. Setting the paper type to Plain or Unspecified will only print on that type for that instance. Is there anywhere to set the default paper type, i cannot find anything!!

Snapshot Viewer Orientation

Aug 28, 2006

Wonder whether anyone can help me?

Each day I produce reports from access and email then out using the snapshot viewer format. The majority of recipients open this find and the report is absolutely fine, however, when other recipients open the report it comes out all slanted and blurred. It almost looks like there snapshot viewer is squashing a landscape report into a portrait view. Does anyone know how to correct this, as its driving me mad trying to find an answer?

thanks:)
