Can you use a VB6 directory listbox control on a MS Access form to display the directory structure? If so, how do you do it?
Or is there some other way to display a user selectable directory structure on an Access form?
Thanks

Hi, I'm new here, so I hope I'm posting this in the correct place. I've searched the forum to see if there are any existing threads that might help me, but I've not found anything that does...
(I think this thread ( http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=93444&highlight=Copying+data )may be trying to achieve something similar to me, but I'm a beginner and don't really understand it)
I shall stop waffling! I'm not entirely sure that what I'm trying to achieve is possible, I expect it probably is!
Right, I have a form (frmGroupRegister, which contains exactly the same fields as the table it comes from, tblGroupRegister), which consists of three things:
-GroupDate - The date a group took place on. It is my primary key, as no more than one group occurs on a specific date.
-ParentList (A listbox which contains a query showing the ID number, forename and surname of everyone in a table, tblParentDetails)
-ParentsAttending (A blank listbox)
I would like to place buttons in between the ParentList and ParentsAttending, which would allow users to conduct a 'register' of attendance by copying individual/multiple details from ParentList into ParentsAttending (much like you get when choosing which fields to include in a form when using a wizard for example). I would also like them to be able to remove people from ParentsAttending by using a button in case of accidentally adding the wrong person into the ParentsAttending box.
I'm aware that another, probably simpler way of achieving this would be to use a tick-box system, but I feel that visually, the first method would both look better and demonstrate who is present more clearly.
Any help would be much appreciated, but my Access skills are quite basic and things will probably need to be spelled out for me.
I'm using Access 2000 and Windows XP.
Thanks for your help,
Alice :)
I am using the selections made of the form to generate a query for the user.
I have a CITIES listbox that is populated with values from a stored query.
I would like to make it multi-select and populate a LOCATIONS list box and a NAMES list box based upon the CITIES that are selected.
I have the locations currently populated from a stored query that reads the City selection from the Form. It looks like this
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT (t_location.LOCATION) AS Expr1
FROM t_location INNER JOIN t_asset_master ON t_location.LOCATION_PHY_ID = t_asset_master.LOCATION
WHERE (((t_location.CITY)=[Forms]![MasterQueryGenerator]![CityList]));
I also want multi-select so that is you can un-select all and get the results for all cities.
Here is my half thought approach.
Code:
Private Sub CityList_AfterUpdate()
'Dim LocQryStr As String
'Dim r As Integer
'Dim ctl9 As Control
'LocQryStr = "SELECT DISTINCT (t_location.LOCATION) " & _
[Code] ...
I intended to have the variable LocQryStr as the row source but I abandoned the idea of having multi-select when I saw that .Selected(I) never returned true. Its like the values aren't read in this subroutine.
I have a list box called "product list box" based on a query called "searchqry", i also have another listbox called "type list box" , how do i get the type list box to only show "types" based on the section in products list box?

1. On my main form, I have a listbox, I would like to edit the values of the listbox.
To do this, I have a popup form with 2 listboxes, one to have the values of the listbox on the main form, and the other listbox with option values for the 1st
1) how to i pass the rowsource sql of the listbox on the main form to the listbox on the popup form
2) how on closing the popup form, do i update the rowsource sql listbox on the main form from the changed value of the popup form listbox rowsource sql
Okay then, after much trouble and confusion, I finally realized I need to use an Extended listbox in order to allow for multiple items to be selected from a list on my form (rather than the evil multiple selection combobox!).
However, now I am trying to figure out how to make one listbox (IndustryClassification) only be visible if the item "Industry" is selected in another listbox (TypeOfBusiness). Coding I can use for this in the AfterUpdate event of the listbox?
Hi All,
I've been trying to use TreeView control to display my computer's directories and folders just like Windows Explorer does.
Thanks to Popeye for reposting all the Treeview samples (samples posted before the site was hacked). Most or all of these samples, TreeView is used to display data out of tables. Mr. Ghuson posted a great example for browsing directory but it pops up a separate windows for browsing.
Now I'd like to somehow combine the two into one; browsing thru directories and folders using TreeView Control. Yes that I can browse and save all paths and directories to different tables and add them to the TreeView control but I'm trying to stay away from saving data to tables first.
Can this be accomplished? Can Windows Explorer be somehow embeded on an Access form or called? Any ideas, experts out there?
Thanks all in advance.
Anyone got any ideas how to get the directory path where the database is running?
Thx in advance

I have made an Access database containing contract names and addresses. I need to have each of these contracts linked to another table which shows the allocated engineer for the particular contract. I used a "one 2 many" relationship using a field "LinkID" to do this. Each engineer has a unique "LinkID" in the engineer table but the engineer changes each day. The engineer for each particular day comes via an excel spreadsheet. The way it works at the moment is that the engineer name has to be manually changed each day, and this takes time. I have tried importing a linked excel table which looked like it would work, but was not able to use the linked table in the same "one 2 many" related table format as above.
What i need to do, is find a way for the fields containing the engineer name to be automatically updated somehow, possible by reading the values from the excel sheet.
Anybody know of any way for this to be done?
Thanks, and hope this makes sense got its got me baffled.
*** Edit **** Thinking about it, i could have an imported execl sheet which contains all of the engineers for each day. Would there be a way using a macro, to update the data in the engineers table that is related to the contracts, by overwriting it with the data from the linked spreadsheet?
Hi,
In MS Access,
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "Appr", acFormatRTF, "P:Appr.rtf", False
I want output the file in the current directory,
the above code is specific the path,
how can I edit the current path, so whereever the the database is either drive, they still can work.
The concept is like that
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "Appr", acFormatRTF, currentdirectory:"Appr.rtg", False
Please let me know, thanks.

We decrypt about 130 different files into an internal directory by using code that was created in Access 2010. I would like to open that directory with the files that were decrypted for that day so the user can confirm that the process was completed. I use the Shell command throughout the code but I cannot figure out a way to open the directory.

I have a small Help Desk db with tables that contain computer spec and user information. But I already have all this information in Active Directory and it seems pointless entering the information twice.
Is there any way i can get the database to lookup the information from Active directory i have no idea where to start.

Hello, I have a VBScript that when clicked on opens the command prompt and fires code to upload a query to my website.
What I would like to do is place a command button on my form that will call the script to run instead of having to go and click on it.
I have searched, maybe using wrong terms, but havent been able to get the right code to do this
any help to call this script from a command button would be appreciated.
Hi,
Having recently correlated the impossible pile of photos that I have on CD, including a lot of re-naming etc... I have now managed to get them down onto DVD.
I there an easy way to import a directory listing into an access database other than inputing the lot by hand? I don't wan't to add thumbnails just the file name and the directory it's in. I can embelish other details later via ASP, just need the bulk of the work done easily.
I have some experience of database design but not huge amounts of programming, other than the ASP side of things so if anyone has a complex answer please go gently with me!!!

Hello creators,
I have a little problem and it is creating and checking directories.
In my database I have a form, on it you can see a record of a project. This project has a keyfield called projectno.
On this form there is a button to create a directory with the projectnumber. So far so good. (code example: MkDir ("C:projects444323")
My problem:
If the directory for some reason already exist the code stops and gives an error.
Now I want to create some code that checks if the directory already excist so than I can skip making the directory.
Thanks for the help!!!!!

Hi,
This post was very useful, it really helped me out, but I do have one question. My database will be used by multiple users and will be stored on a mapped network drive, just as the files that I want to link to. Now unfortunately not all machines are configured the same, so the same network drive can have different drive letters depending on the machine and this might cause problems. Is there a way to modify the code to get the absolute network path instead of the drive letter?
thx

I have successfully found - find directory and its pretty good (awesome comes to mind) and many thanks to ghudson - now this does more that I wanted which is great and I can move my project along further that I had envisaged - now where I get stuck is i want the form to to open up at each folder I have set up
I have make directory button (forgotten where I got this from but many thanks again)
DirName = "C:Datafiling" & Left(Me!QteNo, 6) & " " & Left(Me!QteInsnme, 40)
I am now trying to get the open form to look at this location
i tried tweaking the code to the above - but It didn't work am I being a muppet
i attached a copy of ghudson zip file with this in (I've renamed so I have kept the orginal safe) the form I am trying to open and look at is the one that ends **table
