Hi
I'm trying to create a commandbutton that will update a Microsoft query in excel.
My problem is that excel is quitting before the workbook is updated. Maybe I need a "wait" command or something...
This is what i have:
Private Sub cmdASP_Click()
Dim XL
Dim XLARK
Set XL = CreateObject("excel.application")
Set XLARK = GetObject("c: est.xls")
XL.Visible = True
XLARK.Parent.Windows(1).Visible = True
XLARK.Activate
XLARK.RefreshAll
XLARK.Application.Cells(1, 1).Value = Now()
XL.ActiveWorkbook.Close Savechanges:=True
XL.Quit
Set XL = Nothing
Set XLARK = Nothing
End Sub
Having spent a week building my database and everything is working as expected - I set the 'startup' properties and now Access won't save or quit from the main form. In order to close I have to select 'form design' and then the 'X' will work. This goes for all the methods of closure including the menu and system buttons. I cannot access the cnt/Alt/Del with this system but that's immeterial. I'm using XP and Access 2000.
I have tried removing all the conditionally formatted controls.
I have a form which has a drop down box which links to a table with Employee names. One employee quit and I want to delete her name from the table. But... if I do that, I will delete her entirely from all previous records. Is there a way to keep all previous records, but take her out of the drop down choices?
Hi I have succsefully used the code suggested on theis excellent forum to boot user from the db to repair it. It is FE/BE set up and the ONTIMER on the login form is used to chuck people off over the network.
My ug is: I like to give people the waring before I chuck them off, but sometimes when they are using another application with the db running in the background they dont get the message, therefore dont click ok so my Code wont carry on and Quit application when I want it to.
The code is trapped in
MsgBox "Please finish what your doin, as the db will shut down", vbinformation
Is there any way I can make my code bypass this if they user hasnt clicked ok?
When my database application is closed a parameter box pops up asking for parameter from text16 but only if the Navigation Pane is hidden.
Some information:
The application starts with a login screen that has a hidden text box (text16) that allows me to limit what users can access throughout the database by setting it as the query criteria.
If a form is open that is gathering its data from one of these querys and you try to close the application the parameter box opens which is simply annoying for my users who do not know about access.
The interesting thing about this is that if I unhide the Navigation Pane and close the application with one of these forms open it closes fine with no parameter box pop up.
The goal is to have the Navigation Pane hidden and the parameter box not pop up.
Added information if the navigation pane is hidden I can use a command button with a macro that closes all open forms then quits application and this does not cause the parameter box to pop up.
So another fix for my problem would be to disable the "X" close button at the top right of the application.
I have a form (menu) that auto-loads along w/ the database that has a standard exit button at the bottom. On that form/menu, one item/button loads a table for editing (we'll call this 'edit table' button). I want a prompt to pop up asking whether or not the user would like to export the table to excel on exit, only when a user loads the table, regardless of whether other items from the menu are loaded during the session.
As of right now, I have a hidden form that loads when the 'edit table' button is clicked and I have an OnUnload event set on the hidden form to load an 'export to excel' form/prompt (loaded as dialog, form set to popup & modal). When I test this out by closing the hidden form (clicking it's 'x', or the 'exit' button on my main menu or access' 'x'), the 'export to excel' form loads beautifully and the 'export to excel' button works great except my other button on that form, the 'exit' button, does not work at all.
The exit button is set to 'quit -> prompt'. This is completely nitpicking, but how do I get this 'quit' button to work. Clicking on that form's 'x' button closes that window and continues the exit and I could just write I note saying 'click the x to exit', but I'd rather figure out what's broken here and fix that exit button. If I set that button to 'quit -> exit' I get an action failed error # 2950.
There is a form where whenever the form is closed, the below code needs to execute:
If IsNull(Me.CostPerPiece1.Value) = True And IsNull(Me.CostPerPiece2.Value) = True And IsNull(Me.CostPerPiece3.Value) = True And IsNull(Me.CostPerPiece4.Value) = True And IsNull(Me.CostPerPiece5.Value) = True Then Me.AllowAdditions = False DoCmd.SetWarnings (0) DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdDeleteRecord DoCmd.SetWarnings (-1) Else Call AppendQuoteCharges End If
The If Then just looks at if certain fields are all null and if so, it deletes the current record. If at least one field is not null, the AppendQuoteCharges routine is called.
The form has 4 or 5 navigation buttons that close this form and send you to a different one. I've added the above code to each of those buttons before it runs the DoCmd.Close Form. I also have a Exit button that runs a DoCmd.Quit. I developed this months back but I'm pretty sure I added the above code under each button's click event rather than a Form On Close event because Form On Close does not execute after a DoCmd.Quit command
In rare cases, the form is being closed without the routine being ran. I think if a user clicks the Close button in the top right of Access (the X), it might be running a DoCmd.Quit which is doesn't run this code.
How can I be sure that whenever the form is closed or exited, the code is ran? Is there a way to tie this code to the user clicking the X in the top right?
I have setup a small application with front/back end in local network. On client machines i have installed access runtime. Although it works fine but it suddenly quit when there is any run time error while working on client machine. Although on server machine ( where full version is running it didn't close the application ).
What i need is an option to not quit the application completely. As i am not expert in coding of try/catch statements I need a simple solution for time being .
My database is used by a few users on a shared drive in "read-only" mode so they can't change any data.I set a scheduled task to copy an updated version of the database (which I edit) every morning.
The problem is that when the users forget to close the database file I can't overwrite it.For this purpose I wrote a small code that quits the application at 00:00 using Application.Quit.The code WORKS when I test it on my computer, but every morning when I try to open the file I see that it is opened by another user since I also open it as "read-only" - meaning the code didn't work...getting the code to work properly OR get a better solution to be able to overwrite the file even though it's opened by other users.
I'm developing in Access 2007 and created a runtime version.
When the user clicks the X to close the runtime application, the main form's Load event fires. Any clues as to why this might be? Some of the code is based on other forms that do close, so of course errors start flying. Note, this is only in the runtime version; the accdb file works just fine.
My current workaround is to put the offending code into the forms On Current event, which I'm able to do in this context.
Is it wrong to think that a forms On_Load event shouldn't be firing when the application is closing?
Hi all, I use an Excel import to update tabel 'deelnemer'. This works oke BUT when user 'x' has a linked field in tabel 'B' the import fails due to RI (I think..) How can I make it so in this code that the user record is updated and can I restore the RI (otherwise my forms won't work..) This is the code I use for importing the Excel file: DoCmd.CopyObject , "Deelnemer_copy", acTable, "Deelnemer" DoCmd.SetWarnings False DoCmd.RunSQL "Delete * from deelnemer" DoCmd.SetWarnings True
ImportFile = Application.CurrentProject.Path & "Deelnemer.xls" DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel3, "Deelnemer", ImportFile, True Please help me on this, breaking my head over it and I'm newbie on all this.. Thanks in advance !
From Excel 2007 to Access 2007 I want to keep my Access database sync with my Excel SpreadSheet. I not to often change Excel but when I do Access will be updated.
Error #: -2147217887 "Field cannot be updated."
My connection string works fine and recordset is up and running!In my Excel file:
Code:
rs.MoveFirst For k = 1 To Sheets("2013").Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row - 4 If rs!Index <> k Or rs!total <> Sheets("2013").Cells(k + 4, 5).Value Then rs!Index = Sheets("2013").Cells(k + 4, 1).Value rs!DatePaid = Sheets("2013").Cells(k + 4, 2).Value rs!WhatPaid = Sheets("2013").Cells(k + 4, 3).Value
how to import an excel spreadsheet into my existing database to just update the records. I don't want to add any records at the end or link the sheet to the table.I also don't want to just copy and paste as I don't want my users to have access to the main table but they will need to have the facility to upload.
The reason for this is we have to send clients a copy of their relevant section of the table in a spreadsheet that matches the table format exactly and contains the correct ID numbers. They then send the spreadsheets back to us completed and I would like to update the fields of the existing records using the ID numbers.
I'm trying to find best solution for my small "kanban apliccation" on shopfloor
On PC's I have excel form which adding (INSERT function)data to one access database.DB looks like:
ID Stockcode Qt Date 1. Apple 5 2015-01-18 22:35:01 2. Orange 3 2015-01-18 22:36:03 3. Apple 2 2015-01-18 22:37:34 4. Orange 6 2015-01-18 22:39:56 5. Apple 7 2015-01-18 22:41:59
Every row means stockcode and last quantity. How to rebuild function in excel or make a quere or use access vba to have just one stockcode with LAST qt? Qt should be updated somehow based on specific stockcode
I have a spreadsheet that I have successfuly imported into Access but now I would like to maintain it, update/append/delete records etc.
The spreadsheet is produced weekly and Intend to import it into my Access database on a weekly basis there are around 20,500 records and 15 Fields. I have kept the Field names in Access the same as the spreadsheet, except that the Access table has an ID field with PK and autonum. There are no other tables involved, it should just be a straight import update append ...but how?
I am looking for the best way to approach carryingout a regular update, is it best to bring the new import into a Temp table? and then carry out the analysis of what has been changed, deleted or added?
Also the queries to do this, how exactly do you get a query to scan through all of these rows and columns.
one last thing is it possible to create a table during the update/append process that will log all of the changes or flag the records using A=Append, D=Deleted U=Updated...
I've tried looking at various forums but mostly all I find is people with similar problems and no definitinve answer.
I have an access database that is used to store records of requests for for items. Example, ID, WhoRequested, CustomerName, Date, address, phone, WhatRequested, amt. I take this data and export it to an excel spreadsheet and send to another area for processing.
I then get the sheet back with the orderdate, ordernumber, and shippingnumber. I need to update the original table with this new information. it is not bad when there is only a few, but Ihave had 100 or so lately, and updating each record manually is time consuming.
I exported about 190,000 records (about half of all records in the table) from Access DB to Excel. I then updated two fields (that were previously blank on the database) on the Excel sheet with values. What is the easiest way to import these new values back into the database table so that the records receive their respective values?
I have a linked Excel graph in my form. The process I go though to update them is:
User clicks on button Excel opens up Procedure in Excel runs that updates the data and the graphs Excel Closes
The user does not see any of that. This process works fine. But the linked graph does not actually update in the Access Form. To do that I run the following code:
Code: Set ctl = Me!OLEUnbound_pream With ctl ' Enable control. .Enabled = True ' Set Locked property to False. .Locked = False ' Set Verb property to activate for editing, but not visible .Verb = acOLEVerbShow .Action = acOLEActivate End With
The problem I get is that once .Action = acOLEActivate is ran, Excel opens. I don't understand why it does that and how do I close it.
I have a query in acess which brings data from different tables. Each month I print this query and I send to a person that will modify the numbers (manually - yes with a pen) and give it back to me. Then I update it manually (in the computer) and print it back to verify.Once I have the final version done, I have to put the updated data into access again. And this is the part I would like to automate (since its not possible to automate the first step because the other person is a retarded on computers and want to use a pen).
So how can I import the data I updated in excel to access? As far as I saw I can only import data into a table, not update using a query. Plus while we are making this manual updates, the data in access is changing. So copy and paste is not an option since the order of the records in the query will be heavily different.
Is there anyway I could import an excel spreadsheet to access to update an existing table? The table was created before and I'd like certain columns to be updated with certain rows from a spreadsheet.
I have a query that runs the saved export that exports data to an excel spreadsheet. When I go to run it again, it does not update the spreadsheet with the new data.
We have a report that is generated monthly to management on Excel. We Export the data from an Access query to Excel and at that time the user has to update the Month Reported and Year Reported fields on each record within that query.
Can I set up something to where the user can click a button or something and Access do all of this automatically?
Example: May 2005 was just sent out and we exported the data from the query to Excel and went back into the query and chose update query and had Access fill in May (in the month reported field) and 2005 (in the year reported field) on all of the records.

What I'm trying to do here is, update my access table ("Table1") from excel sheet ("Myexcel.xls"). Excel file contains all the information however access table is not updated except "RefNo" field. Condition what I coded here is when once connection is build, "RefNo" in excel matched with "RefNo" of access table , update the other fields in Access table. Which is working fine (doesn't showing any error) but still data is not updated in access table. I don't know why is not updating it....
Private Sub Command0_Click() Dim accessCMD As ADODB.Command Dim accessRS As ADODB.Recordset Dim accessParam As ADODB.Parameter Dim bFound As Boolean
I would like to use the "Collect and update via email" function within MS Access 2010 which sends out and collects emails. I know how to use this function, but what I would like to do is something slightly different. Instead of emailing out a data entry "form" that has the employee/team member enter information for data collection purposes about their project, status, start date, end date, priority, tasks, etc. Instead, I would like send an Excel/Access table with all of the current project information displayed in the email data collection form and then have the employee reply to the email and overtype edits to displayed information and then have those changes automatically entered into my table. For example, one project table can have up to 50 rows and then column headers such as project status, start date, end date, priority, task description, etc.
