what is the correct syntax to string in a variable date?
here is my current coding
[CODE]
Set rsDate = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("qry_Actual_Costs_Thru")
strSOPCDate = rsDate.Fields("Fiscal Week")
'need to string the file name with the date
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:= _

CODE]
my overall goal is to save a weekly file named "Combined SOPC m/dd/yy" where the m/dd/yy is being pull form strSOPC Date whick pulls from my qry.
I seem to be having problems saving my database files (.MDB) as .MDE files.
I have a database that only contains data (tables).
A second database is used as the interface to this data (it contains forms, reports, and uses linked tables to the data database).
This secong database file is then copied and used my a few users, so that everyone is accessing the same set of data.
I am trying to save the second database as an .MDE file, but under the Tools, Database Utilities option... 'save Database as an MDE' is never highlighted as a viable option. Is there some trick (or conditions) to enable this option?
I am basically doing this so that I can distribute the MDE version of the interface so that users will have limited / no access to be able to modify the code (or get into the table?).
Thank you for any advice or directions you may be able to pass on.
I've recently started working on a new database and already have most of my forms, queries and reports ready. However, I've been using a special font that is not available on most PCs. I was wondering whether it was possible to save the font inside the MDB file so that it can be viewed properly on other systems as well ? (Sort of like in Powerpoint).
Another thing (I guess it's impossible but I'll ask anyway) : Is it possible to save the whole Windows Style design (Scroll Bars, Arrows, Icons, Menu colors, etc..) in my database file ?
Hi, I was wondering if there was a way for a report to be automatically saved as an excel file. Also, the Access database is stored on the company's server so would you be able to choose the path where the excel file would be stored?
Trying to lock down an application by saving as ACCDE file. Saves OK but when you load application none of the controls work. I.e. button clicks do not launch "Open Form" or " Print Report" commands.But in ACCDB format application works flawlessly.
When I tried on a different machine I get an error message that says too many Table IDs. Odd since I only have 3 forms, 3 tables and 3 reports. Lots of DoCmd's and switching between the 3 forms but not sure why this would create "too many Table IDs"?
With this construction I don't have enough control over the mail, and worse, I get an Outlook message when the mail is sending which I have to answer.
2. option
Code: Dim oMail As MailItem Dim oAtt As Attachment
Set oApp = CreateObject("Outlook.application") Set oMail = oApp.CreateItem(olMailItem) DoCmd.OpenReport ReportName:=sReport, View:=acViewPreview, WindowMode:=acHidden Set rpt = Reports(sReport)
[code]...
with this construction I have to enter an existing report.pdf on my filesystem (bold line), but I want to pass the rpt object straight to the mail as an attachment.
Any definitive way of exporting a query to an Excel file and then saving it as a new file without saving over the original.
I've tried to remove any confidential info from the code below so it's not exactly the same.
Code: Dim XLApp As Excel.Application Dim XLSheet As Excel.Worksheet Dim tmpRS As DAO.Recordset Dim strFolder as String strFolder = ("C:Profiles"& [Name] & "")
[Code] ....
The error seems to be with the SQL statement although that may just be the first error that it got to. I read that you can't refer to a Query if it has a criteria and that you have to write the SQL directly into the code.
I have a BE database, that when opened, opens a form for saving the results of a query to a text file on the desktop. It works fine, if the full path is entered.
The problem is, I want this saved on any users' desktop. I did some digging and found the %userprofile% variable, which when used, gives me the error.
I understand this should work in both Windows XP and Windows 7, which are the environments the full DB will operate in. So far the "EXPORT" button on the form has the following for the code:
Code: Private Sub BTN_Export_Click() DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, , "QRY_ExportPublicComment", "C:UsersMark N. McAllisterDesktopPubComExp.txt" End Sub
When I tried this:
Code: Private Sub BTN_Export_Click() Dim strPath As String strPath ="%userprofile%desktopPubComExp.txt" DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, , "QRY_ExportPublicComment", strPath End Sub
Ive got a combo box linked to fields in a form so when I value (tenantID) i selected in the combo box the record appears in the form.
The problem is, I have changed the form name Unbound (it was blank) to TenantID as I want it to appear when the form is opened, however now I cannot select other items from the combo box.
Basically I want to execute every query within my database that exists in one of my tables. It should fill a recordset with the query names and loop through the database and execute each one.
When I try and run access keeps saying run-time error 3061 too few parameters (yellow line). I know the issues is with the sql, but not sure how to get around it or if this type of query is do-able.My code below:
Public Sub C38() Dim rst As DAO.Recordset Dim DB As Database Set DB = CurrentDb() Set rst = DB.OpenRecordset("mTable")
I need to daily import files that start with same name, but the remaining part will be Bill of lading ID (e.g. TEST_BOL 1234.csv). The next day will be TEST_BOL 1235.csv) and so on. I need for Access to import the file based on the "TEST_BOL" into my database and then delete the file from the folder. I don't know how to initialize Access to look for the prefix and import in.
I have a excel object I have opened, and want to copy a query into a named range on the workbook.
heres the start have made
Sub openExcel() 'WillR - opens the specified Spreadsheet Dim xlApp As Excel.Application Dim xlWB As Excel.Workbook Set xlApp = New Excel.Application With xlApp
I'm trying to query excel file which contains a column named "Date", so when I'm trying to do a query like "select * from Table_Name" it's working fine, and I'm getting all the data including the column named Date, but when I'm doing any query which is referencing "Date" I'm getting an error "Syntax error in date in query expression" This is due-I think- to the fact that Date is a reserved word...but when I'm trying to change the column name Date to anything else say "Date_Debut" the problem is still there, so is there any special thing to do when querying Date column type? Please help! Thanks, welid
I recently upgraded a DB from 2003 to 2013 and ran into the following problem.
I have a button that opens a file dialog box and allows the user to upload a file to a predetermined location (and store the address as a hyperlink). I borrowed this code from someone else on here and modified it slightly.
In any case, the button still works, but now when it opens it doesn't have an option for "All files" under file types. So I can upload MS Office files, text files, etc., but not PDF files which are by far the most common types my users upload.
Private Sub Command35_Click() Dim dd As Integer Dim fileDump As FileDialog Set fileDump = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen) dd = fileDump.Show Dim Yourroute As String Dim yourrouteName Yourroute = fileDump.SelectedItems(1) yourrouteName = StrReverse(Yourroute) yourrouteName = StrReverse(Mid(yourrouteName, 1, InStr(yourrouteName, "") - 1)) FileCopy Yourroute, "us170fp00dataWBO_Tool_RoomDrawings" & yourrouteName Me.Drawing_Link = yourrouteName & " # us170fp00dataWBO_Tool_RoomDrawings" & yourrouteName End Sub
I often create contract using mail merge. I have an access file that I want to use as data source for word file. But it does not automatically.
Please download the attached file !
If there are 1 customer and 1 property, I do not need to do anything. Conversely, if there are many customers and many properties, I take time to manipulate.
Firstly, I open the word file. I have to copy and paste paragraphs that I want. Highlight of the original paragraphs is blue.
Secondly, I click 'Insert Word Field' -> select 'Next Record'.
In short, I wish to use VBA in access file to automatically perform the steps that I have outlined.
I've got the forms and queries in one .accdb file and my tables in a separate .accdb file. The forms file links to the tables in the tables file. The tables file resides in a folder called simply enough C:acc_tables and thats where i browsed to (obviously) when i set up the linkage.
One of the users does not wish (for whatever goddamn reason) to create a C:acc_tables file to stick the tables file in , and wants the tables file in some other folder.. Unfortunately this user does not have the skills to delete the existing links and re-link to the tables file after putting it in the folder he wants.
Where in the file that holds the forms and and queries do i find the path setting to the tables linked file? Can it be changed without deleting links and then re-linking?
I would like to automate something presently done on a one-by-one basis. Here: a number of text files(containing data) are to be exported into an MS Excel file, with each text file to occupy a different worksheet. Presently, the idea is to use the Data/import external data/import data feature of MS Excel for importing the text files one-by-one into newly created worksheets(within the same workbook).
I would appreciate some advice on how to go about creating a useful MS Access application to achieve the above. I have checked the available Macros in MS Access, but I could not find one to suit my purpose. can anyone pls assist, on how I can get started?
Question: Is it possible, using VBA, to determine the actual Excel file type without opening the file?
I receive data files from other departments. Seems like every time someone changes their download structure, I end up with file types that do not match the download extension (example: xlm file with a xls extension). The files can't even be opened because of this. I think I can fix it if I could figure out how to determine what the file type really is.
i had a database that allowed me from a form to store a file location for a record on a form, so i any time i could access the record, and then open the file, usually a pdf, it wasnt stored as a hyperlink, but as long text
i made the mistake of not copying the files for safe keeping when i got a permanent position..i am now back self employed, i need to recreate the database.

I am using the following code to select files using Microsoft Office's file dialog:
Public Function fTestFilePicker() As String Dim fdFileSelection As Office.FileDialog, lstrFileName As String Const kInitialFile = "F:TestbedTest.txt" Set fdFileSelection = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker) With fdFileSelection .AllowMultiSelect = False
[Code] .....
When I execute it, the file picker goes to the right folder but does not highlight the file test.txt even though that file name shows in the File name text box. Is there any way to correct this?
hello everyone, i really need some detailed help as the deadline is approaching and I need to find a solution for this. Any help would be greatly appreciated
I currently have a batch file that ftps a text file from a Red Hat Linux Server to my W2k C:. I would like to make another command in the batch file that imports this text file into an existing access table. I would like the text file to repopulate the table everytime it is imported. I do not want the data added on to the existing data in the table.
