We are wanting to have our entry form open; click a button that scans a document; to a pdf file; then attaches a hyperlink to that pdf to that record.
If that record was ever retrieved; we could simply double-click the hyperlink to access the pdf file.
Is this possible? Could you give us some recommendations?
Thanks in advance.
I have hp scanner whose twain driver has the option to scanning in the pdf document.
Microsoft WIA 2.0 have save scanned document only to graphical format.
I want automated (on click any button control) to scan multipage document from glass source or ADF to pdf document and attach it to attachment field.
I'm found VB Module for accessing TWAIN compatible scanner but it is call twain software and scan to bmp format with assigned name of file.
Me need it also only use the pdf format .
I have a query that combines few different tables in order to create a View (Query) that is then used to by and Excel sheet to update a list. The Excel is dynamical updated when new data is inputted in the Access Tables.
But one of the fields in a query is combination of path name and report name (another filed in one of the tables) that crate a complete path to a file that contains some additional information.
Now since the Excel is updated dynamical and users of this Excel sheet are not very advanced. I waned to make it easy for them to just click on the location of the file and the file opens up. But I am not able to make the Query that contains the file destination hyperlinked.
I am using Access 2007
OK - bit of a newbie here & maybe this question has been asked a thousand times but i can't find any answers that cover this question properly.
Basically i am writing an access database that stores contract information, contact details, orders etc etc. I want to take the Order Number field, along with the Client Name & Address etc and post it into a Word Mail Merge type document, then save that file as ordernumber.doc after checking to see whether it already exists.
I have successfully managed to send the information into word in a mail merge document & get it to save the file using the ordernumber.doc format, however it is saving it to mydocuments folder and i want it in a subfolder called orders (that does exist). It is also not checking to see if that file already exist and overwrites it if it does.
I want to change the path to where the file is being saved, check whether it exists already, then ask me whether i want to overwrite it or save as something else.
Any help would be most appreciated. BTW I am using Word & Access 2003.

I'm looking to add a button to my Customers form which will mailmerge the current record to a Word template and then save the Word doc as a new file (Ideally the customer's name).
I've looked at the Super Easy Mailmerge but I can't work out how to implement it without all of the variables (selecting documents etc.).
The files will all be saved to one location (C:CustomersExports) and this won't change.
This is also the location of the mailmerge template (C:CustomersExportsTemplate.docx)
I'm trying to work out how to attach a word doc to the attachment field of a table when I add a new Record. The following code work's fine if I add it to the On Load Event on the Form, but the doc is attach'd to the first record. When I add the code to the Add New Record button, I get the error msg: "File already part of the Multi-Valued Field" and nothing in the attachment field.
Code:
Private Sub Add_Record_Click()
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Me.Description.SetFocus
On Error GoTo Err_AddImage
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rsParent As DAO.Recordset2
Dim rsChild As DAO.Recordset2
[Code]...
I hope some one can help me hear as i am fairly new in this forum.

"www.mywebsite.com/order.aspx?sItems=[record1],[record2],so on untill all reocrds are filled.
Any help with this problem would be much appreciated

Hey all,
I am embedding a MS Access 2003 Database form into web page (iframe) by creating a "Data Access" form.
I have created it all and it works fine. But there is one last thing i need to sort out.
When the user clicks the Submit button (Really a Save Record Button), i would like the button to also forward the visitor to a basic "Thank You" html page, in the actual iframe. At the moment the record saves, but it doesn't give the visitor any acknowledgement that they submitted successfully.
What code do i need to add to the <Button> code on the Data Access form, in order to create a hyperlink. I am not too familiar with VB.
Thanks.
I created a table about films and i made a form so i can see each movie in a different record. I wanted to create a button which generates a link to the movie's internet website. But when i create a button i cant put a different hyperlink for each record of the form.
My idea is the button to have a logo of the site so that is why i cant just put a link in a text box. I also tried embedding a hyperlink to a picture but again i had the same problem.. there was only one hyperlink for all the records .
I have to save the hyperlink of the copied file into a record of my database.
Private Sub Knop29_Click()
Pad = "C:"
Dim Bestandslocatie As String
Bestandslocatie = DLookup("[Waarde]", "tblInstellingen", "[Tag] = 'Locatie'")
With Application.FileDialog(3)
.Title = "Bestand selecteren"
[Code] .....
The column where the hyperlink of the copied file has to come is "data".
As you can read the code i tried to do it this way: Me.Data.Value = NewName, but then i only get this pad saved into my database:
hns019afdelingafd_tdHasseltOpslag documentatie TDMaxihalKranenKraan24TraverseSoftware
So i need to find a way to past the file name after this link so that it becomes something like this:
hns019afdelingafd_tdHasseltOpslag documentatie TDMaxihalKranenKraan24TraverseSoftwareFile.exe
By utilizing the search feature, I have discovered issues that are somewhat relative to what I need assistance with, however nothing specific. So here we go…
1.I have a table named tblManifest. Within this table is a text field named PRODUCT and a text field named ACTION (which is a YES or NO option). There are multiple records (duplicates are acceptable) stored within this table/field
2.I have a form named frmReceipts. Within this form is a text box named PRODUCT.
Here is my issue. Within frmReceipts & text box PRODUCT, the user will utilize a handeld scanner to scan a product id barcode. After the scan, I want the record to be added to a table named tblReceipts. This is I have.
My problem is with product identity and specialized treatment of specific product id’s. What I need is when the user scans the product id and that particular product id is flagged as YES within the ACTION field in tblManifest, I would like for a separate wav file to be played and a comment box to flash on the screen. This will alert the user that the product requires specialized treatment. The wav is located in C:My DocumentsTest.wav. If product is flagged as NO, then no wav should be played and no comment is displayed.
I would imagine that this is possible, however beyond my basic Access skills. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
i have thousands of data records with hyperlinks that are correct. Each data record shows the actual link (google.com, foxnews.com, espn.com, etc.). However, i want to change all of the records to just say "link" instead of saying espn.com, etc. How can i do this automatically without having to manually right click, edit, and changing the text to display?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a table with these 2 fields: Name and AnniversaryDate. What is the best way to write a query that will show me all the anniversaries that will fall within the next two weeks?
For instance if I have a record with these values:
Name, Anniversary
BukHix, 1/1/2003
I want the query to look at today’s date, which in this case would be 12/29/2005 go two weeks forward, which would make it 1/12/2006 and show any anniversary date that would fall between the dates.
The catch (and the part that is throwing me off) is how do I do that without explicitly naming the year? I mean I need to catch every date in that range from 1965 to Current year - 1.
Any ideas?
Where do I put code to run over an entire continuus form. I have a yes/no on each record and it is controlled by an if statement. If I click on every single record it will run the code. I need it to check all the records in the subform. I have tried OnLoad, OnOpen, OnCurrent, OnTimer. None have worked. Any help???
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to add a barcode to a report of mine that I can then scan in order to escape/close that report. The reason for this is my work station will not have a keyboard. The user will simply scan a work order number, this will bring up a report on screen with work order detail. Then to get back to main screen to scan next work order I need to be able to escape/close the current report without using a keyboard.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a project that uses a barcode scanner. The user will scan a barcode which will choose an item from a combo box. The result of what it enters will populate a text box. I have that part working fine.
The next step is to get it to open a form based on the value in the textbox. The textbox will have about 7 different possible values and each one should open a different form.
The way this is supposed to work:
User approaches a machine and scans the barcode. He is presented with a form giving him options based on the type of equipment the machine is. A compressor for example would present him with a set of options for compressors (gauge readings, maintanence, etc).
I have an unbound form with two controls:
cboAssetNumber
txtType
How to code this and which events to code it in. Users will be going from machine to machine and using the form over and over again so I need to somehow manage the clearing of the form to begin again with another barcode scan.
I saw another thread about a barcode scanner and one response was to program the scanner to send the barcode and then send an "Enter" press to move focus to the next control. I've looked through the documentation and haven't been able to find if that is possible. Right now it sends the number and that's it. It's a "Motion" Tablet.
I want to hyperlink from a query direct to the relevant record in a specific form. I have a hyperlink field in the form which shows up in the query.

View 11 Replies View RelatedHello all,
In our company we send off a lot of reports for a given sample. Sometimes the office folks need to do a specialized report with tables and other formatting. They would like to be able to a: be able to have another report where they could just write stuff, comments, etc about the sample and b: be able to import these word documents that have the tables and other formatting. If we could not use word at all that would be great but I don't think there is a way to do the formatting necessary in access. So my question is: how do I import a word document and have it displayed in a form and then print on the report. I would like to store the whole document in one field in a table. (is this at all possible?) I have searched this forum and haven't found what I'm looking for. Thank you for any help.
