Access :: Shell Object Rename Help

Object Library Not Registered/ActiveX Component Can't Create Object

Jun 9, 2005

Hello

I am using Access 2003(11.6355.6360) SPI

When I attempt to create a new DB - by performing Blank Database I immediately get a message 'Object Library not registered'.

If I 'OK' that box and try to create a table, I can do so - create Table in design view.

When I then try to Import external data - an excel file I get the message 'ActiveX component Can't create object'.

I have looked ob various sites for help and forum information regarding these errors but have found nothing conclusive, with specidfic regard to Access 2003.

The version has been loaded on my machine about 1 year as part pf Office Professional but this is the first time I have attempted to run Access itself.

Does any forum member have any ideas as to how this problem could be resolved.

Thank You

Rgds

Shell()

Feb 10, 2006

Hello all,

I use Shell() to open an external program - this works absolutely fine on Windows XP - but I believe it is causing a problem on 2000.

I am using the following code:
Shell """C:Program FilesLindenhouse Software LtdInvuFirstInvuFirst"" FirstOffice C:illingtemp.xls", vbNormalFocus

I get an invalid procedure call on the 2000 machine?

Any ideas?

Shell() Help?

May 17, 2006

Ok, this is very odd. I am running a small DOS executable from within a db. I am using the shell command. The DOS exe is suppose to create a *.txt file. The file creates the *.txt file if I launch it from Windows Explorer. Howeve, if I use the Shell() command, it does not create the *.txt file. What can I use in place of the Shell() command to execute the file as if it was being executed from within Windows Explorer. I don't understand why it isn't working with the Shell() command...

Forms :: Object Doesn't Contain Automation Object Table Name

Jan 5, 2015

I am currently building a database for the company I work for that is fairly similar to the Northwind Database; however it is made from scratch so hopefully some of the common problems with that database won't find their way into mine.My problem is that when I go to my Orders form, I pick a customer from the main form, which creates a record on the Orders table. When I then go to the subform to choose a product/line item, I get the error in my title ("The LinkMasterFields property setting has produced this error: 'The object doesn't contain the Automation object 'OrdersT.") as soon as a product is chosen from the drop down list.

Forms :: Subform - Object Doesn't Contain Automation Object

Jul 17, 2013

The error is:

The LinkMasterFields property setting has produced this error: 'The object doesn't contain the Automation object 'tblIndividual.' '

Then it also gives me the same one on another table.

I think it has something to do with the link master/child fields. I've tried all kinds of relationships with the three tables and can't figure it out.

I've tried uploading the database here but it won't. It's on my Sky Drive.

Shell Command..sychronous/Asynchronous

Oct 4, 2006

Hi everyone

I searched the forum for help..but couldnt find what I am looking for.

I want to run a batch file using shell cmd and wait for it to complete..until then I want to display a hourglass...because my next line of code needs the batch file run completed.

Right now, shell command starts the batch file then continutes to the next line of code..Tried the Doevents does not work right.

Access help states that :
"By default, the Shell function runs other programs asynchronously. "

How can I make it synchronous?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Opening File In Shell Execute

Dec 20, 2005

I seem to be having a problem opening a file if there happens to be any spaces in the file name. If I open a .pdf no problem acro reader opens it but if it is in word or excell or any other tells me that the file can not be found and seems that only the first part of the file name before a space in the name and the file extention.
example: "Test it.doc" would appear as "Test.doc". somewhere it seems to be trimming the file name.

Modules & VBA :: Opening File Using Shell / CPAU

May 27, 2015

I want to open files from a networklocation from VBA, only normal users don't have access to that location (and should preferably not get it).

I instead of using shell("explorer.exe filepath") to open files using windows standard app for the file, which needs userpermissions to the path the file is located, for the currently logged in user.

I'm trying to use CPAU in combination with Shell, because using CPAU you can pass a user/password that has permission to open a process

The only problem is that the filepaths have spaces in them and that is Always a bit of a tricky thing to tackle.

So, for example, this works:

shell("N:GuidelineOntwCPAU -u DomainUser -p password -LWOP -ex " &
Chr(34) & "C:windowsExplorer.exe c: emp est.pdf")

But I cannot get it to work with a file that is on a path with a space in it (or with a space in the name), like

Code : N:EngineeringJB-MATBBBB-004_Panel PinBB-004_Panel Pin.pdf

I'm trying all kinds of thinks:

- adding chr(34) at certain places
- using """
- the above in different versions

But to this point without result.

Trying to figure out the plain cmdline:

Code:
N:GuidelineOntw10_Ontwcpau -u Domain/User -p Password -ex "c:windowsExplorer.exe "c: emp est.pdf""

Doesn't work:

Code:
N:GuidelineOntw10_Ontwcpau -u Domain/User -p Password -ex "c:windowsExplorer.exe "c: emp est 1.pdf""

(difference in filename with a space in it)

The last command start explorer, but doesn't open the file (just as the first line I posted, it opens Explorer, but not the file. Must be something with the way I pass the filename?)

Code : explorer.exe "C: emp est 1.pdf"

Also works in commandline...

Forms :: Cannot Open External App Using Shell In Access 2013

Aug 19, 2014

In previous versions of Access (i.e 2003 and prior) I could use the following code in the On Click event of a form's command button to open an external file:

Dim stAppName As String
stAppName = "C:Program FilesCadroTransPost PlusTransPostPlus.exe"
Call Shell(stAppName, 1)

However, I'm now using Access 2013 and it wont allow me to use this anymore, it gives me the following error:

Runtime Error '5"'
Invalid procedure call or argument

Why this doesn't work in Access 2013?

The Object Doesn't Contain Automation Object X

Dec 27, 2006

I'm getting an error message (informational only):

The object doesn't contain the automation object 'ClientID.'You tried to run a visual basic procedure to set a property or method for an object. However, the component doesn't make the property or method available for Automation operations.

Check the components documentation for information on the properties and methods it makes available for automation operations.
This happens when I start entering data in the field "productname" of a subform.

So I'm assuming something in the form or in the code of the form is referring to ClientID. but I've checked it, and there is nothing referring to it anymore. Well, at least as far as I'm aware of.

This afternoon access crashed without any error, it just closed. Upon reopening the DB again, all my work of the past one and a half week was gone. Normally I always backup the data, but these past days I didn't due to christmas and still working a lot too. So I forgot.

I did some redesigning in the process this evening, deleting and adding some fields and code.

I can't get rid of this error. Can anyone help? Or point me in the right direction?

Also the DB is 3.5MB in size. While it is completely empty. And I can't imagine that some empty tables, queries, forms and a bit of code can be so much. But that's for a later time to worry about I guess, unless one of you says: this and that, maybe that works... Otherwise, I would really be very glad already if the error disappears....

Modules & VBA :: Shell Picture Viewer Command Opens Minimized?

Aug 13, 2015

I'm having trouble with a shell() command in my vba.

I'm trying to call up the picture viewer showing the file of the photo I clicked on in a form. Everything is happening as expected - the file opens in Windows Photo Viewer, but it is minimized.

I can open a picture fine from Windows Explorer, but something about my shell command is forcing a minimize.

Here is my code:

Code:
Dim sFile As String
PicFile = "C:Pics" & Me!PicName & ".jpg"
Shell "RunDLL32.exe C:WindowsSystem32Shimgvw.dll,ImageView_Fullscreen " & PicFile

I would have assumed ImageView_Fullscreen would do what I want!

Modules & VBA :: Invalid Procedure Call Or Argument Using Shell Command?

Feb 6, 2015

I'm developing an application where I want to call the keyboard up on the screen when a user enters a field. This is my setup:

Windows 8.1 32 Bit, Access Runtime 2010.
Exact lines of code are:

Dim RetVal
RetVal = Shell("C:Program FilesCommon Filesmicrosoft sharedinkTabTip.exe")

These lines of code work perfectly fine on my development PC which is running Windows 7 64 bit, Access/Office 32 bit.

I know the path to the exe is good. I can navigate and double click it and it works great. but the shell command is resulting in the invalid procedure.

General :: Hidden Access Shell / Runtime And Print Preview Custom Ribbon

Dec 17, 2013

I have created an application. It has a split front end and back end. I plan to distribute the runtime version. I have used code throughout that "hides" the microsoft access shell for popup (modal) windows. In every form & report I have a function to show or hide the access window. Everything works great until I get to my reports. I open reports in print preview. I created a custom table (USysRibbons) and added a Reports print preview ribbon & xml. I assigned that ribbon to my report(s), and I assigned it in options as the default ribbon. If I test the ribbon (by working in the database using "shift" open) I see my ribbon. But, in when I open app without shift or or if I emulate runtime, I can't get the ribbon.

I have multiple popups forms, several non popup forms and a couple of reports.I just want to keep all the access background stuff hidden - except for needing the ability to print.
