Short Cut Blues / Command Line Switches / WIF
Feb 14, 2006
Hi Folks,
This may not be an Access problem per se, and if not, I appologize in advance.
I have a FE/BE split database with multiple users. I have found out how to add a command line switch to the shortcuts (the shortcut must go to the application first for any switches to work) which opens the database front end nicely. Problem is, I can't get it to connect to the appropriate WIF.
I have tried copying the text from "Microsoft Access Inside Out" which didn't work as it has "/wrkgroup" rather than "/wrkgrp". My set up wouldn't accept that.
Anyway I'm half way there but stuck now. I don't get any error messages when I use the shortcuts but Access stays joined to whatever WIF it was connected to the last time it was running.
I have searched this site but couldn't find anything regarding this specific problem, in the recent past at least.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
I have copied the details from the 2 shortcuts below. The first is to my database and the networked WIF, the second to Access to return the desktop PC to the default WIF. I have also added the Access version number and operating system version numbers.
This is the shortcut to my database with the workgroup switch set to the WIF created for this database:
Target:
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE11MSACCESS.EXE" "C:EDT DBWC-ED0023001R0.02a-fe.mdb" /wrkgrp "K:EDT FOLDEREDT DBED.00.23.001_WIF.mdw"
Start In:
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE11"
Network Drive WIF Path:
K:EDT FOLDEREDT DBED.00.23.001_WIF.mdw
This shortcut is supposed to restore Access to the default WIF on the desktop PC:
Target:
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE11MSACCESS.EXE" /wrkgrp "C:Documents and SettingsQPUserApplication DataMicrosoftAccessSystem.mdw"
Start In:
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE11"
Desktop WIF Path:
C:Documents and SettingsQPUserApplication DataMicrosoftAccessSystem.mdw
Access path:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE11Access.exe
Access Version:
2003 (11.6355.6408) SP1
Environment:
OS NameMicrosoft Windows XP Professional
Version5.1.2600 Service Pack 1 Build 2600
Thanks in advance,
Keith.

I want to be able to set text boxes so that if one enters a date and a time it displays in the format "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm", but if one just enters a date is displays in the format "dd/mm/yyyy". Is this possible?
Stipulating "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm" means that when you just enter a date it adds "0" values for the time e.g. entering "21/6/13" gives "21/06/2013 00:00".
General Date allows for an optional time, but it means that when you do enter a time it gives you seconds as well "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss" - and I don't want that.

I have a vba module call runme with this code
Option Compare Database
Sub makequery()
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim qry As DAO.QueryDef
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim fld As DAO.Field
Dim XlApp As Excel.Application
Dim xlwb As Excel.Workbook

Set db = Access.CurrentDb
Set qry = db.QueryDefs("q1")
Set rs = qry.OpenRecordset
Set XlApp = New Excel.Application
XlApp.Visible = True
Set xlwb = XlApp.Workbooks.Add
Set xlws = xlwb.ActiveSheet
x = 1
For Each fld In rs.Fields
xlws.Cells(1, x).Value = fld.Name
x = x + 1
Next fld
Set xlrng = xlws.Cells(2, 1)
xlrng.CopyFromRecordset rs
xlws.Columns.AutoFit
rs.Close
qry.Close
qry.Close
End Sub
I can run it from vb eidit interface by hitting run.
How can I run it from command line?
I tried "msaccess.exe" "C:Documents and SettingsjzhuMy Documents est.mdb" /Excl /X "runme"
But it does not seems to work.
THX.

Guys, any idea how to evaluate the command line options used when an Access application is started from a command line.
For example I use the following command line: C:..MyDatabase.mdb /parameters:110001110
Then, in VB, I evaluate the string "110001110" and do the further job.
Is there any property or function to return the command line option string?
Thanks

Is there a command line argument to open AND close a db? I am running a schedule task to open a db which has an autoexec macro but I don't want the db to stay open after running the macro. Or is there a close db function in a macro? I see close form but not db.

I am looking for help to to generate a command line to automatically run a report within a windows program I am using. The program I use has command line fields to automatically open the access report when I complete my program session. I have tested the command line with a standard C:.... .exe to open Word, Access, etc.
I have tried using the create shortcut and snapshot methods without success and wondering if a macro is needed (havent a clue).
Hoping someone can help!

I had looked at the Shell() function but I don't see it doing anything such as input and output.
Does anyone know the use of the VBA's command line that would send an input and receive an output to the VBA's variable?

I am working on supporting spaces in the DB filename. I got the rest of my program working... other than being able to invoke Access with the specified filename for it to open.
Code:

The envoking of MSACCESS.EXE results in:
Does Access 2007 MSACCESS.EXE not support DB's with a space in the file name being spefied to auto-open via command line switches?

I have had my 4th SQL/APP Dev lab class, however I missed the 5th.
Our 5th lab was .
1. Create 3 tables, populate with given data and create relationships. 'Customer, Invoice, Payment'
2. We were given 8 queries to try do, we had to come up with which commands would be used.
I have no 1 completed.
As for no 2.. we are still learning all the commands, so the lab here is for us to find what commands we think will be used. I have researched and have them all 6 queries we have to run.., I have all those commands written out on paper which I think are answers..how to find the command line to test them.
I'm using Access 2007 on Windows 7.

Hi Folks,
I am wondering what is the best way to tackle this request and am really not sure. I am trying to determine the number of what I call flip flop interations. An individual can be in group a or group b at any given time, but for each day of service on record must be in at least one of the two groups. The individual can switch between groups as well. I am attempting to determine that number of times an individual switches in a 3 year period. For example:
Person #1 Sorted by Date of Service:
Feb 20, 2006 - Group A
Feb 22, 2006 - Group A
March 10, 2006 - Group A
Jan 4, 2007 - Group B
April 1, 2007 - Group A
So the above individual switched twice, starting at Group A.
So the result for this individual may be something like:
IDStart GroupFlip Flops
Person#1 Group A 2 Times
If someone can give me any ideas how to tackle this, I would greatly appreciate it. The database is pretty large with about 35,000 unique clients and some of them never flip flop but other can up to 13 times per year, and this is for 3 year time period. Even if I can just get the # of times an individual flip flopped will help tremendously, but the start group would be nice as well. I know there is a way to do this with a query, but I am just not sure where to start ...
Thank you very much,
Joe

what is the correct syntax to write a command line able to UPDATE more than one field in the table records having multiple WHERE criteria.
Here is my challenge:My TableI has the columns A, B, C and D which are populated, for example, as follows:
TableI
A B C D
1 2
2 6 4 3
1 7 5 9
1 2
2 5 8 5
etc.
I also have a FormII which updates TableII. Among the existing fields of TableII there are the fields C and D (same as above). When saving data entry thru the save button of the FormII, fields C and D will be naturally saved on the TableII. Well, I also want C and D info updated into Table I as well, but only when field A=1 and B=2.So what I need (for the click event of the button save in the FormII) is to open TableI and either insert or update it with the values of the fields C and D in every record WHERE A=1 AND B=2.For instance, assuming C=& and D=%, the desired result should be as follows:
TableI
A B C D
1 2 & %
2 6 4 3
1 7 5 9
1 2 & %
2 5 8 5
I did not find any examples in the net including multiple criteria..Here is what I wrote unsuccesfully:
Private Sub BtSalvarFrmII_Click()
CurrentDb.execute "UPDATE TableI"
Set FieldC = Forms!FrmII!FieldC.value AND Set FieldD = Forms!FrmII!FieldD.value WHERE FieldA = 1 AND FieldB = 2
Docmd.save
Docmd.close
End Sub
What would be the correct syntax?

Hello again,
I think my subject heading explains it. How would you add or subtract two short time formatted values and produce a short time value? Also, how would you change a short time value into number minutes. (i.e. 5:30 into 330) Thanks!

Hello,
I have a report which is similar to a bank statement. I have a transaction date and then either a credit or debit depending on whether the customer made a payment or if I am invoicing them.
I have created an additional field in the report which calculates AmountDue - TotalPaymentAmount and called this field Balance.
I then attributed a running sum based on this Balance field.
This works great.................BUT!!!!!
If a customer has 100 transactions the report will be well over 10 pages long.
Is there a way I can limit the report to just perhaps the most recent 20 transactions or 20 days?
I tried and failed in the report's query retrieve the payments which occur >datenow(-20) (basically in the last 20 days). This worked ok in the sense that only the last 20 days worth of transactions appeared in the report......BUT!......the first running sum of the report does not carry over from the previous transaction..it starts from 0!!!!
Please help me get over the RUNNING SUM blues!

I am trying to create a crosstab query that counts how many records have events scheduled to start between each hour. The times are random during the hour and when I tried to create a crosstab I got a header row for the actual times.
I tried to do this manually, see attached JPGs. This does not work and returns all times for the date as you will see. In the JPG that time period should show 41 for Oct 19. Now if I do a select query and put the Between statement in the criteria no problem it shows only the 41 records however I know it shouldn't take 24 queries to get this done.
This is my goal

T1_TO: 7:00AM - 7:59AM = 4
T2_TO: 8:00AM - 8:59AM = 2
T3_TO: 9:00AM - 9:59AM = 0
and so on around the clock.
I thought this would be easy and I still think it is, I am just missing something.

Here's the statement
Code:
sqlfinal = "SELECT Employees.ID, Employees.Name "
sqlfinal = sqlfinal & "FROM ((qryDeptVBA INNER JOIN qrySkillVBA ON qryDeptVBA.ID = qrySkillVBA.ID) "
sqlfinal = sqlfinal & "INNER JOIN Employees ON qryDeptVBA.ID = Employees.ID) "
sqlfinal = sqlfinal & "INNER JOIN qryAreaVBA ON Employees.ID = qryAreaVBA.EmpID "
sqlfinal = sqlfinal & "GROUP BY Employees.ID, Employees.Name;"
If i simply remove the GROUP BY line and stick the semicolon at the end of the previous line (.EmpID; ) it works just fine. How is adding a group by line causing an error?I tried adding another parenthes at the beginning ((( and ending the joins as EmpID); and that failed with the exact same error.

I have a main form with 3 sub forms. The main form is tied to a table called QUOTES_MASTER. The first sub form is tied to a table called QUOTE_ LINE_ ITEMS_DIRTGLUE. It calculates the subtotal when selecting items. The relationship is one-to-many linked on QUOTE_ID.
The second sub form adds up total of all line items and is not tied to a table.The third sub form adds ESTIMATED FREIGHT to the PRODUCT TOTAL and is not tied to a table. how to get the values from the line items form inserted into the QUOTE_LINE_ITEMS_DIRTGLUE table as they are added.
I also want to insert the total value from ESTIMATED DELIVERED into the LINE_TOTALS field in the table QUOTES_MASTER.I tried this code on the product total sub form but it doesn't do anything and there are no errors:
Private Sub PROD_SUB_AfterUpdate()
DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE QUOTE_LINE_ITEMS_DIRTGLUE SET QUOTE_LINE_ITEMS_DIRTGLUE.SUBTOTAL = Me.PROD_SUB WHERE QUOTES_MASTER.QUOTE_ID = " & Me.QUOTE_ID

I have a module which reads a CSV transaction file line by line and adds the correct transactions to an access table and places the wrong ones in a logfile.Now some transactions are rejected twice there is even one rejected six times. Whereas one wrong transaction is processed only once. I am certainly overlooking something obvious in the logic but what. Here is the relevant code.
Code:
Function ImportCSVForConfederation(inputCSV, ORG)
Dim TNO As Integer, TACT As Integer, TABLE As String, TLINE As String, I As Integer, J As Integer, K As Integer
Dim FLD1 As String, FLD2 As String, FLD3 As String, FLD4 As String, LogFile As String, LogPath As String
Dim Lim As String, ITNO As Integer

I am having a little difficulty with my importing in Access. Every time I import my text file, the lines will be jumbled. I have been reading up and I found this recordset code that seems to be what I need:
Code:
Dim strLine As String
Dim intLineNum As Integer
Dim MyDB As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Open "C:TestTest.txt" For Input As #1
Set MyDB = CurrentDb
Set rst = MyDB.OpenRecordset("tblResults", dbOpenDynaset)
CurrentDb.Execute "DELETE * FROM tblResults", dbFailOnError 'Clear tblResults
[code]....
Basically, this code will extract data from the text file as long as it fulfills the Mid$ criteria. Here's where my problem comes. Each line in my text file is of different lengths and I have to capture the entire line.
I think using the Left$ function would work, but I don't know how to determine the character count such that the entire line of text would be inserted into the table.
Another difference between what I need and the code above is that, I am required to store each line into each row of my table, meaning
Line 1 is placed in Row 1 Column 1
Line 2 is placed in Row 2 Column 1
Line 3 is placed in Row 3 Column 1
.
.
.
Line X is placed in Row X Column 1.

2 Subform problems
I have a data entry subform that is only supposed to show an empty record ready to be populated, and a display records subform that is supposed to show all the records. The subforms are both on the same tab of a tab control on my main form.
Problem 1:
The data entry subform shows all the records rather than a blank record. Something on my main form is causing it to show the records when it should not. Any ideas? The Data Entry is set to Yes.
To try to isolate the problem, I created a new form and added the subform to it where it behaves properly:confused:
I then added Me.DataEntry = True to the form open to see if that would solve my problem but it still sets the data entry to no.
If I have the properties box open when in form view of my main form, I can set the data entry to Yes and it works fine until I move to the next record of the main form when it resets to no. Teraing my hair out here.:mad:
My final attempt was to search the entire project to see if there is a "DataEntry = False" somewhere but there isn't. What is setting this property? Any ideas where I should look?
Problem 2:
After entering data in the first subform (data entry form), I want to re-query the second subform but I just can't get the syntax right. I have wrestled with the "Syntax for subs" document downloaded from http://www.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0031.htm (Microsoft MVP site) but to no avail.
My main form is called fdlgPrjDetails, the data entry is via fsubPrjCommentsUsersDataEntry and the subform I wish to requery is fsubPrjCommentsUsers.
None of the attempts below worked giving a cannot find control error.
Private Sub Form_AfterUpdate()
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
Me.Requery
'Me!fsubPrjCommentsUsers.Requery
'Me!fsubPrjCommentsUsers.Form.RecordSource.Requery
'DoCmd.Requery ([fsubPrjCommentsUsers])
'DoCmd.Requery [fsubPrjCommentsUsers]
ExitHere:
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
MsgBox Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description & Chr(13) _
& Chr(13) & "Error in fsubPrjCommentsUsersDataEntry: Err 003"
Resume ExitHere
End Sub
Any Ideas?
Both problems have me stumped so I'll be grateful to anybody with a scoobie on this.:)

I can change multiple things on a line graph with VBA.
Me.Graph47.chartType = GraphType ' take 65 for line
with me.graph47
.SeriesCollection(1).border.Color = vbblue ' change the line color
.SeriesCollection(1).border.Weight = LineWeight ' change the line weight to for example 3
.SeriesCollection(2).MarkerSize = MarkerWeight ' Change the marker weight, for example 4
.SeriesCollection(2).MarkerBackgroundColor = vbblue ' Change the marker color,
.SeriesCollection(2).axisgroup = 2 ' put this series on the secondary axis
end with
SeriesColection(1) is line with markers. This is correct.But now I want the seriescollection(2) without line, so only the markers. I cheched the MSDN site from Microsoft. The Excel trick with the macro does not work for me.how to hide the line with VBA for only SeriesCollection(2) in Access?
