I copied my data from MSAccess which one of the fields is a hyperlink field into excel. Well, the field contains text reading "FileA" but the hyperlink is dbfilesFileA.doc. Since I have it in Excel now, I want to be able to just have the data read "FileA.doc" instead of FileA, I thought if I can get the field to read the hyperlink path dbfilesFileA.doc then I can maybe use the Mid formula to take out dbfiles....
View RepliesI have a database that had some code that enabled the user to click a button and it would take information from one Access query or table and paste it into specific locations in Excel. This is important because the last worksheet has specific formatting in place.
If it didn't, I'd just use the transfer spreadsheet option and not even bother opening Excel at all with code.
I've got it working well except for the last part. The last query being copied has eight records and only one is being sent to Excel. Same code as the other queries where all of their data is going to the right spot in Excel with the right number of records.

I'm trying to make hyperlinks to specific pages of a workbook to excel. If I put the hyperlink of the form as follows then works properly: C: Users Desktop test.xlsx # Sheet2!A1 -> leads me to Sheet2 document "test".The big problem comes when the leaves have spaces in its name, that is, if the sheet is called Sheet 2:
C: Users Desktop test.xlsx # Sheet 2!A1 -> does not work.
C: Users Desktop test.xlsx # 'Sheet 2'!A1 -> does not work.

Just upgraded to Acccess 2007 and have ownership problem extracting queries from a 2002 db.
When trying to import into a new 2007 or export from the 2002, get "you have no permission" message
Have created a new user tried to change owner of the db, but no permission
File security looks correct in that I am owner of the file with full permissions, but Access doesn't recognize me as the owner
Tried logging in as admin, but it isn't the owner either
This is not critical, just very time consuming, this is a test project, but it would be nice not to have to rewrite about 30-40 queries and equivalent forms
Any guidence appreciated
Greetings Access Geniuses,
I am currently in the midst of conversation over at utteraccess.com about a large database project I am working on.
I will post the most recent updates here, but if you want to download the database for your own review, you'll have to go over to the other forum. By the way, this is NOT an advertisement. I am a real person with a real, significant, and immediate need of as much assistance as possible for this project.
Before I go on, a few things about me. Though I am in the legal profession, my technological background is very strong, including a high level of proficiency with MS Office apps with the exception of Access. I know my way around the program (the result of its homogeneity with the rest of Office), but have not made a real database in the past. I also do not know any programming languages.
I have recently indulged in an Access crash course of sorts, including some book and online study on things like planning, design, and normalization, but I am still having difficulty wrapping my head around making it work.
That said, the link to the other discussion is: [W W W DOT]utteraccess.[ADD DOT COM]/forums/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=1590364&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&fpart=all&vc=1
Feel free to gloss over it to see how things have progressed. Below is a paste of my most recent substantive post. Any help anyone can give me is of great value to me and I really, really appreciate it.

Hi Everyone,
Attached is the most updated version of my database project for your review. I have also attached a sample of the output we would like to have for each product. This sample is not based on actual data, but it clearly shows what we are trying to achieve via a form of some sort. More on this in a minute.
The following changes have been made to the DB:
-Changed tblTrustProspectusVersion to include the appropriate data, based on our business model.
-Added descriptions to all non-PK fields.
-Created relationships to illustrate how things fit together. Note that these are NOT the actual relationships, but are for illustrative purposes to help everyone here (including myself) further understand how things fit together.
Our Business:
I am part of my company's legal department. Our team handles a number of different things primarily associated with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). filings. We have two major product lines. Everything that happens with one in this DB happens with the other as well.
Each product within a product line has certain features and other necessary information we need to see when doing our filings (see the attached sample output). These features and necessities include, but are not limited to, various statuses, various numbers associated with the SEC, various important dates, etc.
In addition, each product has a certain "fund lineup" associated with it. These funds are made up of two components: the name of the fund (aka "portfolio") and the name of the subadvisor to that fund.
Futher, each of these funds is associated with a certain Trust. The SEC requires us to send prospectuses to clients based on these Trusts, which, as I mentioned, are comprised of the said funds.
Basically, we need to be able to select a product from a drop-down list and have all of the aforementioned information populate instantly.
Before I close, one question with respect to my "tblProductFeatures". Like I mentioned, each product has a certain set of features associated with it. Each feature has a certain fee associated with it. These features come in four basic categories: Living Benefits + fees, Death Benefits + fees; Maintenance fees (just short list of the possible fees); and 12b-1 fees (another short list of fees).
Since the features can be so easily broken down, should I add them to their own tables?
Please consider this as you give your advice on how to acheive my desired goal.
I hope this makes sense.
And again, thank you all so very much for your help thus far.
Best,
Gilbert
Everytime I close, open, modify, etc, you get my drift,either a linked table or an in database table, Access validation takes minutes before I can continue.
What can I do to reduce this time or process?
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 1 Replies View RelatedI have a table with one field set as a hyperlink. I have to generate the hyperlink according to what else is going on in the record, I do this by assembling a text string which I can write to a text field in the same record. I have no problem doing this but when I try to copy that string into the Hyperlink field I get type mismatch. Incidentally if I put two text boxes on a form and bind one to the text and one to the hyperlink field the I can 'cut and paste' it OK so how come I can't do it with Access basic?
Dim stGunlib As String
Dim stGunlib2 As String
stGunlib2 = [Stock number]
stGunlib = "www.shooting.uk.com/Gunlibrary/" + stGunlib2 + ".jpg"
[Link] = stGunlib
[Picture] = stGunlib ([Picture] is a hyperlink field) it goes wrong here

View 4 Replies View RelatedHI All,
I have scoured the net and these forums looking for the answer but cannot find a good solution.
I am producing flow charts in Visio, and then saving them as HTML documents for use on our Intranet. Within the Visio flow diagrams I am using Hyperlinks on various shapes and text, to enable the viewer to open various other documents in various other applications. This seems to work fine in my web browser for normal office documents, like word and excel, but I need to be able to do it for MS Access databases too! Because the web browser tries to open it in the browser itself, the database won't open and I just get the normal "Web Page Could not be found" screen.
Another useful feature would be to be able to open to a number of different specific forms from a database, depending on which hyperlink is clicked. I assume this is not possible as you only seem to be able to define on page to be displayed upon opening the DB. Am I correct?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Hello,
I have a MS Access form with a few hyperlinks on it. I have tried to achieve effect similar to hyperlink roll over effect on a web page: when mouse pointer goes over a hyperlink it changes colour, etc.
Unfortunately, all I could find was MouseMove event:
Sub Label_MouseMove
Label.ForeColour=vbBlue
End Sub
But in this case hyperlink stays blue even after mouse pointer leaves it. And I would like hyperlink get back it's initial colour.
Thank you
I'm trying to create a pdf report displaying records in a columns, with each record having its own hyperlink. Rather than displaying the actual hyperlink, which is quite long, I'd like to portray a friendly_field like in Excel (Hyperlink("Link"). Hyperlinkpart doesn't seem to do this.Is there a formula I can create in a query where I can reference each individual hyperlink but show it as a "friendly_field" such as "Link"?

I am investigating on the possibility of setting up an approval process for our employee intake procedure by using MS Access and Outlook.
The idea is for the requester to open an intake form in Access and fill in the new employee's information and send an Outlook email to the manager for approval. I know how to trigger off an event on the form to send an email to the manager but my challenge is how to create a hyperlink in the email for the recipient to directly open the intake form with the specific record, without the need to open the database and find the specific intake form.
The intake form is built in a frontend .mde file on a shared drive where all users have access to.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am using Excel and Access 2010.
I have an excel spreadsheet with 8 tabs. They are all in the same format and column order. They are employees grouped by region. My ultimate goal is to merge all of these onto one excel tab, relatively instantly. I created a master tab and tried doing array formulas and Vlookups, it worked but my spreadsheet was way too slow.
My solution? Import and link them to an Access database, step complete. Create an XML export then import into Excel.
My problem? The only way to update the excel tab with the combined tabs is to save the excel file after changes, go back into Access, re-export to XML, then go back into excel and refresh the data.
My questions, is there any way to automate this process to the point that I can change excel, save, then hit refresh on my excel tab with the XML import to auto-update?
I have created an action log database that sends an email when a new action is entered. I would like to launch the database using a hyperlink in the email, but can't seem to get it to work. All users have a copy of the front end on their desktop, so whatever I add to the email needs to launch the front end for any user signed on to their own desktop.
This is what I have and it sends a hyperlink but I click it, I get an error saying it can't find the file. I don't know how to word the path name for any user?

I am in the process of building a new database in SQL to replace my MS Access database. However, I will continue to use the Access forms, queries, and reports. The new tables will house much of the same data. In multiple tables I have hyperlinks that were created and added in the original Access tables. To import these hyperlinks into the new SQL tables I have converted them to 'Long Text' before exporting, thus changing them into strings.
For example:
Hyperlink - Email - Add Additional Mailbox to Outlook (2010) has been changed to:
Email - Add Additional Mailbox to Outlook (2010)#ServernameServerfolderDocumentationRea dy to GoOutlook TemplatesEmail - Add Additional Mailbox to Outlook (2010).oft#
The obvious issue that I am running into is that after the SQL database table has been linked to the Access database it still displays the entire string when I open the table. The form has a textbox and search button that is used as a search function. This runs a query that returns all "search results" for the desired information. Is there a way that the query can convert the string back into a hyperlink so that the query displays just Email - Add Additional Mailbox to Outlook (2010) as a hyperlink and not the entire string?
In the Access Table, how does one Find and Replace part of the hyperlink if the Text to display is different?
Example of Hyperlink Editor:
Example of Find and Replace
In other words, I'd like to find FAKESERVER and replace it with C:Users in all 1000 records. Is there any possible way to do this if there is Text to display?
