Using Visio (HTML) To Hyperlink To An Access Database
Jul 25, 2007
HI 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?
I have some visio maps. Is there anyway I can connect Access to visio. I want to create a link from ms access to visio, has anyone done that? Please provide some assistance if you have a clue? Thanks.
I am using the following vba code to create and send an html format email message. The key information in the email is a hyperlink to a network drive folder location using [Directory] as a hyperlink table value to get the address that is stored like this: K:PipelinesP9 - TEP ProductsMOP AID-1500Final Approved
The email hyperlink that is produced looks like this:
#K:PipelinesP9_-_TEP_ProductsMOP_AID- Dim appOutLook As Outlook.Application Dim MailOutLook As Outlook.MailItem Dim MOPVDB As String MOPVDB = "H:PGADSBYMOP VALIDATIONTRACKINGMOPVDBMOP Validation DatabaseFE.accdb" Set appOutLook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
I have a database which I can add to, edit and delete via an asp.net page, it also allows me to add html tags. My problem is when the data is then rebinded to the page any HTML tags are changed from '<' to '<' and from '>' to '>' this results in the tags and contents being displayed on the page as text instead of being interpreted as HTML and then formatting the page - most frustrating!
Any help is greatly appreciated, this is a relatively new area for me so many thanks in advance.
I have small program in access database which contains about 100 cca tables, querys, forms, macros in total. Customer which both program from me, wants me to enable him to access this program not just from work, it wants to access it from home or when he is on business trip from hotel etc.
I am little confused how to achieve this and what are my options? I assume I have to set by database somewhere on server and so my customer could access it any time? Do I have to upsize access database to SQL express or similar?
Also, one more important question: is it possible to "convert" access database into HTML code or similar so it could be accessed via web browser without need to install microsoft access and with freedom that it can be opened from any type of PC OS (Linux, Mac etc)?
I am new to microsoft access and i am currently using microsoft access 2010...I have a students table in my access database and i have now append this table with data from a HTMLhow can i do that? using append query
How do I restrict access to the database while still being able to add a new hyperlink? I tried deselecting the "display navigation pane" option. But when I do this I am unable to add/edit a hyperlink in a form - when I right-click the only option I get is "add to favorites" rather than "edit", etc.
We are using access 2010, I have a blank form that produces an ID number for the specific record when saved. then i have other forms where the ID field is hyperlinked to the original form that was entered. I now have 2 users that are unable to open the hyperlinked form. when i login as them im able to open the hyperlinked form.

I'm really hoping someone can help with a topic which has cropped up from time to time in the past but which never seems to have been answered satisfactorily, and that's displaying html in a database.
I have a large database which already includes html codes in the fields - it's a complete set of email digest posts with fields for date, sender, message number, subject and body text - which I'd like to display in it's original form. An ordinary form shows all the html code making the contents difficult to read; is there a simple way of being able to view this so that the correct original message layout is shown, i.e., the html is parsed (is that the right expression)?
Perhaps I should point out I'm a complete novice when it comes to Access; I can write a simple form easily enough, but I have zero knowledge of VBA or anything similar, so non-technical answers or a step by step example would be very much appreciated.
I have a scenario at work I need some help with. I'm just checking to make sure it is possible before I dive further into it.
We need a database for approximately 40 people to access at one time. They don't really need to access the database itself just be able to update it.
The question that was posed to me was this: Can we use an HTML page to update the database?
This will not be run through SQL or IIS or anything of that nature. It will just be an HTML page that is accessed through a users folder. On the HTML page will be the input boxes and a submit and reset button.
I made a data access page, but I really don't want the users to be able to go through the previous entries. I also wasn't sure if more than one person could be accessing the page at once.
Is a simple form page with a submit button possible not running on a web server?
I need, in some way or another, to be able to import an HTML code from an HTML file into Access. It would be ideal if the end result is a table with one memo field named "HTML".
I know is seems strange, but I need the code itself. I've managed to do a bit of duct-tape work, and import from HTML, but this results in only the text of the HTML code (Meaning the text of the web page, not the tags).
I know I'm crazy for wanting this, but is there anyone out there who can give direction/guidance?
Is is possible to save Access forms in HTML and add data using these forms withouth any kind of special software? I would like to interact beteween MS Front Page and Access. I will use front page to design my web site and map to the tables in Access into which add or query data.
Is there anyone out there that can help me with this problem. I want to create a hyperlink in MS Outlook to my database file using my workgroup. The problem I'm having is when I put the following: file://"N:DbaseFilesSCC_Dbase.mdb" that works. It will open Access to that dbase file. But if I include the workgroup file associated like this: file://"N:DbaseFilesSCC_Dbase.mdb" /WRKGRP "N:DbaseFilesCSS_Issues.mdw" it doesn't work. Can someone please tell me why. I've been struggling with this for days now. I can't find any solutions.
i have a database that has a hyperlink on the table, my concern with this is that if the folder with the linked items(pdfs) is moved to a different location then does that mean that all the links will not work? if this is so is there a way to get the links to point to correct items other than manualy doing it ( there are thousands of links ) the reason i have used links is to keep the database small in size.
I have 2 databases (accdb). Both databases have a loading pop form. Also both databases include the following line of code when the loading form opens:
Code: docmd.runcommand acCmdAppMinimize
This code works great when I open the databases individually. but my problem is that I have a label on the pop form in accdb 1 with its hyperlink address set to accdb 2 and the subaddress set to the macro name.The hyperlink opens the database 2 just fine and it opens the loading form but it doesn't minimize the application window.
I have to save the hyperlink of the copied file into a record of my database.
Private Sub Knop29_Click() Pad = "C:" Dim Bestandslocatie As String Bestandslocatie = DLookup("[Waarde]", "tblInstellingen", "[Tag] = 'Locatie'") With Application.FileDialog(3) .Title = "Bestand selecteren"
[Code] .....
The column where the hyperlink of the copied file has to come is "data".
As you can read the code i tried to do it this way: Me.Data.Value = NewName, but then i only get this pad saved into my database:
I'm updating a database that automatically sends an email to the drafts folder of Outlook. The developer that created the database used VBA code to call html code written in a table. The html code contains the body of the letter. I've figured out most of it but I need to include a date (one month from the current date) in the body of the letter. Unfortunately I've been researching java script and html all weekend and still haven't managed to figure that one out. Can anyone out there help with this? Also is this normal to include html and javascript in Access, I have never seen it before. Are the benefits good? I have serious studying to do if this is the case.
Hello all.. I have an HTML template with about 15 TAGS built in to it..such as: [SKU] [MITVALUE_TITLE] [MITVALUE_ACCESSORY1] [MITVALUE_ACCESSORY2] [MITVALUE_ACCESSORY3] [MITVALUE_ACCESSORY4] [MITVALUE_ACCESSORY5] [MITVALUE_ACCESSORY6] [MITVALUE_ACCESSORY7] etc. etc. etc...
Now I would like to somehow populate those fields from the tables that i have.. (The all have a common "related" field)
................................................ I would like those fields to be put in automatically.. wether they are in a memo field within a table or a field within a query ... it really doesn't matter.... Anyone have any ideas?
I have a number of databases in my system and I created a database that only has a switchboard form in it. This switchboard form has links to all of the various databases I have created and opens their default input form. This works fine but now I wish to place a button on the switchboard to run a report that is located in one of the databases.
I tried to use the hyperlink command in the switchboard database but that will not show me the information in the other databases only the switchboard database. I assume I have to link the databases and create a connection to the other database and its report.
I wrote a Access 2000 database which has a linked table to a HTML file which worked perfectly. However, I Have recently installed Access 2007 and now when I use my database to try to open the HTML linked table it says it is either empty or not in the right format!
I did not know where to ask this question or how to ask, so please excuse me.
We have an Access 2007 database that updates an Access 2003 database. My problem is, the data in 2007 is formatted and when the 2003 table is updated, it displays the html formatting tags. Is there a way to remove the formatting (convert to plain text from rich text?) during the update?
Could anyone explain me the best way to fill external HTML pages automatically with data from an Access dbase? I have spotted several commercial tools that use macro recording. Surely there must be another way using visual basic for example?
I have a database to send e-mails from access trough Outlook. The issue is that I would like the body of the e-mail to have hyperlinks, colours, bolds and that I can get it from plain text.
This is the code I have:
Dim MyDB As Database Dim MyRS As Recordset Dim MyTable As Recordset Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application Dim objOutlookMsg As Outlook.MailItem Dim objOutlookRecip As Outlook.Recipient Dim objOutlookAttach As Outlook.Attachment
[Code] ....
How can I make the body to be HTML format, or, can I have a e-mail template storaged in my PC and then indicate to use it whenever the e-mail is sent?
