Hi,
I was wondering is it possible to schedule in windows somewhere to open up my syncfrontend.mdb and then run a routine that i have written inside of that mdb.
The routine is a huge database syncronisation task that needs running every hour, it's all there ready to be run but just need a way to get to it and run it automatically on the hour every hour.
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance
I have a routine that outputs an MS Access report as a pdf file which works OK. It does not open the file which is what I want.
DoCmd.OutputTo acReport, "rptTransactionInvoiceExcVAT", acFormatPDF, "C:UsersJEFF1Documents
ptTransactionInvoiceExc VAT.pdf", False
What I would like to do is output the pdf file with a Customer name and number from the field Me.txtAmazonBuyer. I have tried:
DoCmd.OutputTo acReport, "rptTransactionInvoiceExcVAT", acFormatPDF, "C:UsersJEFF1Documents" + ([Me.txtAmazonBuyer]) + ".pdf", False
But no joy.
I am trying to create a command button in Access to generate a Meeting Invite. I found code for creating an Appointment and it works great but cannot get it to invite attendees.
Private Sub AddAppt_Click()
On Error GoTo AddAppt_Err
' Save record first to be sure required fields are filled.
[Code].....
Is there a set variable or property that can tell you which Sub you are in?
I want to use this to log errors. i.e pass the module and sub routine name to the error handler log file.
The only way I can do this at the moment is to physically hard code the sub routine name into each error handler.
Ok I am exporting some data to a plain text file and one of the fields I am outputing can vary in the number of characters and I need they to have the same number of characters all the time.
Ex: 123.00 => 000012300
456789.00 => 045678900
I had heard of a command, but I can't remember what it was...I could do a loop till LEN() = 9 but that would cause undue clock cycles (aka performance hit) on the machine when running through the export routine.
This is a huge export of data.....
Thanks,
Richard
Hello,
I was wondering if you have one or have seen a routine to generate unique
username from first, middle and last names. Here is my requirement -
by default first initial and last name of a user is their username.
But if the expected or default username is already taken then if the
user have middle initial, then the username for this user would be
first initial, middle initial and lastname. If the user does not have
middle name then the username for the user would be first two letters
of first name and lastname and if that's already taken then first
three letters of first name and last name and so on.
Any help or pointer is greatly appriciated.
Hi guys, I was looking for a way to trap err.number 3314 (when required field is null) before Jet generates its warning. I came across an old post from Rich (below), but I couldn't make it work as yet. In the calling form, under the Form_Error event I wrote the following:
Dim f As Form
Set f = Me
Call fnValidateForm(f)
Could anyone please tell me where my error lays here? I have several forms which have several text and/or combo boxes bound to required fields and I would want to have a generic code, like the one here to trap errors before Jet shows it's Error Message.
Thanks in advance

I have a subroutine which cycles through all controls on a form, and for controls with applicable tags, either enables or disables the control.
The routine accepts a form as the parameter (frm), and is called from a button on the form itself.
Despite trying frm.repaint in the generic routine, and, me.repaint from the calling form, the controls do not seem to repaint until the mouse moves over them. A command button, for example, will be grey-ed out, despite being enabled, but will un-grey when the mouse goes over it.
I have a public sub routine which requires parameters to be passed to it when I call it from an access form. When I try to enter the code to call the sub I get a compile error. I've also tried calling it from another sub in the same module but get the same compile error - see below.
Code:
Sub EmailData(Datafile As String, To_mail As String, CC_mail As String, Subject_mail As String)
'code to use variables passed in
End Sub
[Code]....
I have 28 combo boxes on a form, which I want to insert data into the table as they are changed. Each one will pass the same sets of data just with different parameters which come from the form.
Rather than putting the same code to insert on each of the 28 combo boxes I thought it would be easier to create a function to do it and pass the parameters to it through a sub on the AfterUPdate event of the combo box.
I need to pass 4 parameters, if I only put 1 in there it works fine, but when I start putting more in it doesnt work and I get compile errors or syntax errors.
Sub routine:
Code:
Private Sub cboMonday1_AfterUpdate()
If Me.cboMonday1 = 1 Then
Me.cboMonday1.BackColor = vbGreen
Me.cboMonday1.ForeColor = vbBlack

Hi all, I'm just starting on a new project to create a scheduling database for a small company (about 20 people). What i aim to do is to edit calander entries (Month view) and view calander entries hopefully using a control that looks as much like Outlook as possible again this would hopefully show what these 20 people are doing over the month.
My question is: Can you use outlook to do this, or would you have to use a control and does anyone know what/how to use this control.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

HI All....
I have a question which I believe I may already know the answer to but Here it goes. I am trying to create a db that can track and employee shift schedules. I have 28 employees and we work 24X7 so we have 3 shifts, days, evenings and night. I cant seem to get my head around how I would create it. I have tried like 10 different ways but I keep running into Form limits. They want to be able to schedule for the whole year out by month. I have attached a sample of what they want it to look like. If anyone knows of anything out there or could assist me in at least a correct starting point, I would be forever in debt to you.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post and I look forward to hearing from you.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a room scheduling example or a tutor site. I originally wanted to use Outlook but my boss, after seeing another Acces Project I did, asked for it in the Access. I can build a basic data base on a daily basis showing rooms against hours, but my problem is forward scheduling eg "every Thursday meeting room 1 will be for Group A" etc. Can anyone please get me started - I'm tearing my hair out on this one!
Thanks in advance.

I have a query that runs based on a parameter a user selects on a form.
I want to dynamically create the sendobject file name based on the parameter the user selects.
Example:
My form has a parameter named medicine. When the user checks the checkbox next to medicine it runs a query for records labeled as medicine but sends the e-mail output as the query name. I want something like medicine.txt etcc...
thanks

I am trying to call a subroutine from a VBA routine to append a record to an existing table. Below is the code for opening my recordsets for reading followed by the code creating my table to append to:
Public Sub UpdateLotsizes()
Dim curDatabase As DAO.Database
Dim ProdPlanDB As DAO.Database
Dim rstQryLot As DAO.Recordset
Dim rstInvLoc As DAO.Recordset
Set curDatabase = CurrentDb
[Code] ....
To call my subroutine, I simply put in the code:
ExceptionReportAddRecord
And this is the code of the subroutine:
Public Sub ExceptionReportAddRecord()
Dim rstExcRpt As Recordset
Set rstExcRpt = curDatabase.OpenRecordset("tblExceptionReport")
With rstExcRpt
.AddNew
.Fields("item_no").Value = txtItemNumber
[Code] .....
I am receiving "Run-time error 434: Object required" at the line I marked with ...
Access 2010. Can vba code be written to delete and insert data from a table in one routine.
Something like Delete * Insert into select from where order by....
I tried it with a query but have to write two.
Today is 13 May and this code is supposed to return the date of next Monday (19 May)
IIf(Weekday(Date())=1,Date()+1,Date()-(Weekday(Date())+9))
but it returns 1/5/2014 (Thursday May 1), when "Date" = 13/5/2014 (Tuesday May 13)
My begin week is Sunday (1) ,
I am looking for some scheduling software to meet the following requirements:
The ideal requirements for a new scheduling tool would be:
•More robust than LaunchPad, but less complicated that Maestro
•ability to initiate specific Access macros (not using an autoexec macro) REQUIRED
•must provide detailed audit logs to show success or failure of each job REQUIRED
•ability to monitor shares for files or file changes
•Networked version for shared access?
•Must be controlled from within the team
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thank you.

Hello Guys:
I need help creating a small Access Database to be able to make Schedules for Conference table Meetings. I am hoping to find an example, or if someone could please direct me to the right place where it’s been done before in Access 2000!?
I was asked to use this Calendar: (“Calendar Control 9.0”) because all my co-workers have this Active X Control, which has Dates but not Time in and Out. I need to add Time or think of some other general Control, to add to this Database along with the Date Calendar.
What my co-workers would like to do is to go inside the Database > choose their Name > pick a Date in a Calendar > pick a Time to RESERVE the meeting > place/ location, etc.
The only thing right now I have is a Table for the Users, and I also need to figure out how to place it in the DB for other people to select their name and precede with other options.
I need to make the DB recurring (like Outlook), notifying (e-mailing) of weekly Staff Meetings, for EX: every Wednesday for next months. So that next time, when somebody goes into the Database, they can see what Time slots are taken or Available on the Calendar. We tried this with Outlook, but it didn’t work due to the Conference table not being customized and not listed in the Company address List. Don’t mean to make it confusing - basically Outlook seems to be out of the question for my Group, therefore I was asked to look into Access :) .
I don’t even know where to start. Can someone please help me modify this or I would be glad if you provide an Example for me to visualize where to start? In this Calendar, people want to be able to choose Hours. In addition, I need help with aesthetics for the Database tables, queries, forms/ Switchboard.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks a bunch in advance,
Beginner:confused:
Dear Access Expert.
I would like to create a Scheduling database for employees. The database would include:
- list all of the employees
-tabs to look at schedule for this week, 1 week from now, 2weeks from now, 3 weeks from now, long term (1-2 months), etc
-small comment section within each day for the guys to enter some comments...e.g. dentist at 10, holidays, etc
There has to be something like this already out there that I can modify and work with. Is there anything like this already in the NorthWind Database that comes with Access? What about some free examples Access developers made?
What about Outlook? Can I modify Outlook and use VBA somehow to accomplish this? Outlook is basically on an account basis so I don't know if I could tailor it to my 30+ employee database.
Thank you very much for your input.

Hello All
I am in need of a lot of help. The situation is as follows I have a table with users that have certain classes that they have to take and in another table I have the dates that these classes are offered. My problem is I want to find a way to map all the students to their required class by scheudling them into the required classes taking into account date conflicts and classes required before taking a certain other classes. I guess my question is if there is any possible to do this in access without me phyically having to schedule each users required classes to the correct time making sure there are no date conflicts. Any help would be highly appreciated because we are talking about 3000 users that need to have schedules and that is extremly time consuming if I have to sit here and do the schedule for each user. Thank you in advance for your time
I need to make a random schedule every week. I have a new DB that I have attached and the current one being used that was built by some one else. The reason for building the new one is I could not figure out what to change to add a new section/Area for scheduleing.
What I have are 3 levels of auditors
Level 1 are the basic auditors which I will need 1 per shift per day
Level 2 Are operationl Auditors I will need 2 of the per week
Level 3 are management auditors and I need one of those per week.
When I get these compiled per week I will need to make a report to e-mail out.
I attached both DB's the old one to show what I need, and the new for a more stripped down and easier to update version.
I'm putting together a Customer Management dbase, in Access 07, and one of the tables is dedicated to scheduling (and the outcome) of customer appointments.
The tables I'm hoping to get a solution for are:
1: Customer Master Data (parent): contains fields such as Name, Address, Phone #, email etc
2: Appointment Master (child): there are 4 Appointment tables/queries, one for each of the available product groups, and contain such fields as Product Type, Lead Source, Lead Status, Appointment Date, Appointment Time, Sales Rep, Appointment Comments
What I am trying to do is find a solution as described below:
1: When the appointment is created the appointment is then pushed into Outlook 07; along with various customer information from the Customer Master table
2: OR is there an appointment/scheduling calendar, preferably with the same look/feel of outlook, available that forms part of the access 07 dbase? This is probably the preferred solution.
Currently running Access 2010.
I have a small database where we enter audit log data. In my add add screen from the switchboard, one of the fields is the user the audit is assigned to. So that our group wouldn't be typing their names a bunch of different ways I created a reference table called "Ref Data 005 - Contact Name". So i pre-populate the Contact Names such that they will be more consistent.
The add works perfectly. I built all my screens using the forms wizards.
Now for the modify routine. If the user wants to go in an modify one of the other data elements, I force them in the wizard to do this modify by choosing thier name. Therefore, when i built this screen using the wizard I reference the "ref table" mentioned above. I then throw open another form displaying all of the fields based on the records that it finds for that user when they choose the name from the Ref data 005 table. Hope that makes sense. Ie.. they choose the records they want to possibly modify by first choosing their name from the ref table.
It correctly pulls the records for whatever user you choose. However, when you make the update and save, it is changing the Ref table name as well.
So for example if three users were in my ref as :
bill
joe
john
And you launch the form, lets say joe shows up in the list, when i change it to bill to retrieve bill's records , it will do that but when i make the change, then Joe is changed to bill in the reference table.
I am using access 2010. I use basic error handling in my routines:
Code:
On Error GoTo errHandler ... exitHere: ... errHandler: MsgBox "Error " & Err.Number & ": " & Err.Description
The problem is lately; while testing I am running multiple queries in a routine. When it fails; its hard to identify which query has the problem. So I hit control break; debug and try to find it. After I fix it; I debug and reset; i get this continuing hourglass thing in the form of a spinning circle until I close and reopen the database. I think I need better error handling but not something really complicated because I need to put it in quite a few routines throughout the database.
