VB useses the FileExists funcion as follows:
object.FileExists(filespec)
Which returns true or faulse and where filespec is the file name and object is the name of a FileSystemObject.
What I need to know is what exactly a FileSystemObject is and if anyone could possibly give an example piece of code working?
I have a table with several thousand records. Each record as a path field that indicates a specific file that is associated with a given record (not just a directory, it identifies a specific file). I'm pretty sure that most of them are correct but I've seen and been cleaning up paths that have had typos in them or were otherwise not setup correctly. Is there a way that I can generate a report or a list of some sort that would tell me exactly which file paths exist and which ones don't? or even just the ones that don't.

If (the back end Locked* file exists), then
msgbox "Someone Is in the Database"
Else
docmd.OpenForm and so on.....(I know how to do this part
The reasoning is that it creates conflicting copies when you edit data from more then one Front End. and it is difficult to copy the conflicting data into the actual DB.
hey guys
i'm trying to do something that i thought would be pretty simple. what happens is i have 2 files that get used, one by access and one by excel. they are both the same, except if one gets modified then the other doesnt obviously. (theres reasons for having the 2 files).
anyway. in access i want it to pick the newer of the two files (i assume this is using a fso system object?), if the one it normally doesnt use is newer, it should copy the new one over the old one and continue using the one it normally uses.
i cant simply use the other file as another user always has that file open.
any sample code on how to check if things are modifyed at a later date? and copy/pasting using those fso objects?
cheers guys

I'm trying to view a pdf in a form if the file exists. My search has brought me to trying the WebBrowser control. I have it loading the file but it launches Adobe instead of just showing the PDF in the window on the form.

I have code working for some workers here ,who used to save excel files in a folder and my databse upload those files into database and then do the rest.I am looking for a code in vba which,on upload button matches the file in table and if the file already exists ,it should not upload again in the table and if it does not exists it should upload . I have attached my code below :
Private Sub Command0_Click()
Dim strcPath As String
strcPath = "O:QA FilesQC ReportingPending Review"
Dim strcNewPath As String
strcNewPath = "O:QA FilesQC ReportingMovedFiles" & Format(Now, "yyyy-mm-dd h-mm-ss") _
& " Excel Files" & ""
[Code] .....
Actually what I am looking to do is have an Access application check some Web site for the presence of a number. This number could be the Serial number of the application and if this number exists to maybe show a message in the aplication or even terminate the application.
A quick and dirty way is for User Serial number 254, to put on a specific page of a Web site say arbitrary file 254.jpg (invisible on the Web site). The application would check for the existence of this file and if it is there, it could take some action. Everything would have to be done in stealth mode.
The following code can tell me if a specific URL exists, in this case [URL]
Code:
Private Sub cmdArbitray_Click()
Dim blnDum As Boolean
blnDum = blnCheckURL("http://www.VisualDentist.com")
' If blnDum = True then it exists
End Sub
Public Function blnCheckURL(ByVal strURL As String) As Boolean
Const FLAG_ICC_FORCE_CONNECTION As Long = &H1
blnCheckURL = (InternetCheckConnection(strURL, FLAG_ICC_FORCE_CONNECTION, 0&) <> 0&)
End Function
1) How can I check for file 254.jpg?
I have a simple database that a user records the work they have done for the day. They are required to fill out the form with the item number, date, qty etc... the problem is some people are fat fingering things and i am not getting the right item numbers... I have a table called dbo_item with all the possible item numbers in it, is it possible that after they hit enter or click off the item number box it will tell them they put in an invalid item if it doesn't match one of the items from that table?
View 3 Replies View RelatedOkay that Title sounds confusing, but so is this task. Let me explain what I'm trying to do:
I work for a property management company and I'm trying to build a database that will allow me to catalog the inventory of furniture in several (thousand) rooms in several different buildings.
There are several types of rooms on campus all with different requirements. I want to eventually create a "standard" inventory list for every TYPE of room and then compare the actual inventory of each room to the standard inventory of each TYPE of room to make sure it is correct. The problem is that every room has several possible acceptable standards.
I was thinking that for each TYPE of room I could have several possible standards and then run a query that returns all rooms that do not match any of their standards. Does this sound doable? Any suggestions for how I might run that? Am I in way over my head? haha
I have a form and one of the text fields I need to verify against data in a table. I think the best way is to check the field once it loses focus on that text field. If the data is not in the table then the user is prompt with a msg "Invalid data, Please try again". I'm using Access 2010 to develop. I need query to run the validation.

I have 2 identic tables: T1 and T2 which contain only one field NR.
T1 contains the data:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
T2 contains the data:
5
6
7
8
A
B
C
D
I want to select all the records found in T1, but not found in T2. So, I wrote the following SQL query:
SELECT T1.NR
FROM T1
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(select T2.NR
from T2);
Unfortunately, this query doesn`t return any record. And the strangest thing is that the query:
SELECT T1.NR
FROM T1
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(select T2.NR
from T2);
have the same effect like:
SELECT * FROM T1,
I mean it returns all the records of T1. I mention that the query was written in Access. What I have to do? Can anybody help me? What solutions do I have? I need a query, not a VBA code!
Thank you in advance!
I need to make a query that only selects data that is in another query/table.
I have tried to do this using a query with IN criteria as follows.
SELECT fldOne,fldTwo,fldThree,
FROM tblOne
WHERE (((tblOne.fldOne) In (Select fldOne from tblTwo)) AND ((tblOne.fldTwo) In (Select fldTwo from tblTwo));
But that isn't working. Any ideas as to why?
I think that the answer might be using the EXISTS reserved word, but I don't know how.
I have a table (tblSales) with these fields (RecDate, Code, Type, OrderCount).
I also have a linked table (lnkSales) with these fields.
Daily I append the data from the lnkSales to tblSales.
The tblSales table must have a record for each code daily.
These are the codes (01,02,05,07,09,10,15).
I need to automatically add a record for each code that wasn't appended.
For example,
lnkSales contains:
03/22/06 01 Mc 3
03/22/06 02 Mc 1
03/22/06 05 Mc 1
03/22/06 07 Mc 2
03/22/06 10 Mc 1
When appended to tblSales there is no record for code 09 or 15.
I need to add these records to tblSales
03/22/06 09 Mc 0
03/22/06 15 Mc 0
Can someone explain the best way to accomplish this?
Thanks.
Hi again
How can I do an existence test on a table in my Access MDB in a script. The job is to determine if a temp table exists, and if so, then to drop the table.
What syntax would I use to accomplish this in form event code?

Hi, I have the following problem which I hope someone can help me with:
I have a form which is used to enter data into a table. One of the fields is 'Code'. I want the form to check when data is enetered into this field is it already exists, ie if the code is already present in the 'code' field in the table, and if it is it should give a warning message, if not then continue as normal.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
I have a form used to enter new contacts. I would like to insert a query or macro that would automatically to see if the name (first and last) already exists in the table to which this form is attached. If the name exists, I want to open the existing record and add information to it. If not, I want to enter the information as a new record.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI keep getting the error message "Table TempMsysAccessObjects already exists" when I try to compact/repair my database. The only help I've found in the MS knowledge base just says to delete the table. I keep deleting it, but it keeps coming back. I've tried the decompile cmd line option, no change. Do I need to just rebuild this db, or what?
Access 2002.
Thanks for any ideas.
I'm running the following line:
dbs.Execute ("DROP TABLE [tbl_No Certs]")
the problem is that sometimes the table doesn't exist... Instead of trapping the error code, is there a way I can check to see if the table exists? If it doesn't I'll simply skip this step of my code and move on.
Thanks!

I have created a query/report that meets all necessary criteria except that it contains multiple TYPEs per employee. This isn’t an issue unless one of the TYPEs is ‘W’.
As TYPE ‘W’ supersedes all other TYPEs, any others that meet the other criteria should no longer be reflected in the query/report.
Is it possible to add criteria for this?
Hi,
I have a java app connected to a MS access database. I need to run an sql command like
"drop table if exists"
You know, so it only tries to delete the table if its actually there. Im not sure how to do this with an access db.
Also what is the difference between delete and drop.
thanks v much for any help!
I know this can be done i MySQL and with SQL Server but is there a way to drop the table but check if it exists first in Access before running a query ?

I have 2 tables
TKYOKUMD01 and TTOKUKMD01.
So Im supposed to get the records that aint found by this query in the TKYOKUMD01 table:
SELECT a.* FROM TKYOKUMD01 a, TTOKUKMD01 b WHERE a.KYOKUSYOCD & a.BUNSITUCD = b.KYOKUSYOCD & b.BUNSITUCD
Easy right? All I have to do is use NOT EXISTS Right? So I did, hence:
SELECT * FROM TKYOKUMD01
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT a.* FROM TKYOKUMD01 a, TTOKUKMD01 b WHERE a.KYOKUSYOCD & a.BUNSITUCD = b.KYOKUSYOCD & b.BUNSITUCD)
No records returned, so maybe all is good and happy in their relationship interconnected world. So just to check I inputted 99999 for KYOKUSYOCD and 9 FOR BUNSITUCD in the TKYOKUMD01, now clearly it should appear right? Coz its there, on the blessed SQL code. BUt the I ran it, BAM, no results? Whaja...juhh...
Please please please help me with this, is there something wrong with this statement coz Im pretty sure I was right :(
Oh and I have 24,000 records in the TKYOKUMD01 table and 18,000 records on the TTOKUKMD01 table, weird eh? Every one in the 24K table is in the 18K table? Like, what I said, Whaja...juhhh....
Please help :D
