Button To Open Windows Explorer Window
Jan 28, 2006Hello everybody, it's been a while since i wrote on the forums and yet again I am in the need to ask for the help of this wonderful community.
I have a form on which is a button that I want when pressed to open a Windows Explorer window displaying the contents of a directory.
The exact way that I want this thing to work is like this : The user is browsing a form of lets say client details and on the form lies the button that when pressed will take the client's name and apply it to the path in order to open that Windows Explorer window and create a path like C:program filesclient name and display the contents of that window.
I would like if possible someone who can point me as to how I can construct this button to work cause I cant see to get it done.
Many thanks for your time :)

General :: Cannot Open Database File From Windows Explorer
Jan 9, 2014All of the sudden I get an error message when I try to open my database from a file rather than through Access. If I open Access first and open the file that way, there is no problem but if I click on it from Windows Explorer, I get the error.

Dealing With Internet Explorer Via A Form
Aug 3, 2006Hello...
I created a button that opens a link to a URL and copies information from a record to the clipboard to paste on this webpage.
The users are not using it correctly (they need to close the page each time they need to do the next record).
what i want to do is to close ALL IExplore windows via access if there are any open then open the URL again. Sounds pointless but we have to close it because of security.
Thanks.

Sep 19, 2006I have a website that is asp (not .net) based with an Access DB and I am in the process of replacing an old windows 2000 server with a much faster windows 2003 server. Here lies the problem I have a script as part of the admin that exports data to a csv file. The query joins 4 tables together to get the data needed for the export. On the windows 2000 server it takes 1-5 seconds to execute and have the csv file ready for download. On the window 2003 server it times out. I striped it down to use 2 joins and it worked although it took more like 10-20 seconds to export. This exports a specific range of ID's and the range is normally only 40-50 rows. If I put time stamps in the code the problem is in the query of the database, so I know its not in the file write etc.
I am going to rewrite it to use multible querys instead of one large query, but I have many other sites that I am moving to this server that would work better if I can figure out why it is so slow.
The windows 2000 is a 900 mhz server the windows 2003 is a 2.8GHZ server both have 1 GIG of ram. The database file is on the local drive on both servers. I am guessing it is a difference in the Jet version, I just haven't been able to find a solution to the problem. This uses a DSN connection, configured the same on both servers. I have also tried it as a DSN-less connection with the same result.
I have installed access on the server and to execute the command in access it is <2 sec.
I am not an access expert I normally program in .net and php and use MySQL and MsSQL for databases, we just have these legacy sites that use Access DB's
Access And Windows 98 To Windows 2000
Nov 27, 2006Hi All,
This is my problem -
My customer has Access programs that work on their Windows 98 OS PC's, but when they try to use them on Windows 2000 OS PC's they will not work.
The programs I believe were originally written in Access 97 and now they have Access 2000 on the PC's.
By not working I mean the following -
The Access program allows them to enter a document name and then the file opens in Word - BUT - when they use it in Windows 2000 it does not open the document at all. It says file not found in Windows 2000 and the file does exist.
** The reason they have Access opening files is that Access keeps track of them for auditing purposes.
Now here is something that I want to mention. On PC's that were upgraded from Windows 98 to Windows 2000 the programs work.
Can anyone here tell me what is missing from 98 to 2000 that would do this.
Thank you very much for your time.
Getting Rid Of Multiple Form Windows
Mar 10, 2006Hi,
I have a database that contains a navigation menu. It links to several other forms throughout the database, providing users with easy access to the databases features. At the moment, when each link is clicked, it opens another seperate window with that form as the contents. As you can imagine, after a session, the user has around 20 different forms all along the taskbar, just from navigating through the database. Is there a macro or command that I can put in place to 'replace the existing window' when a link is clicked, so only one window is open at the end of a session? (The simpler the better in terms of explinations, macros aren't my best area). :)

I have moved all my small databases into 1 larger database to save up on Taskbar space, but the problem is that when I use an opening form to open other forms (switchboard style) the additional forms show in the Task bar.
Is there some sort of macro that I can use to tell each form to suppress itself from the Task bar?

Creating A Windows Wizard Style Form (list Boxes)
Feb 8, 2006I am currently creating a database to link together a maintenance system and a conditional reporting system and Ive run into a little problem.
I am trying to create a form for assigning skills to a given contractor (contractor selected via a combo box (cboContractor)) by transferring selected items from a list box on the left (lstAvailable) to a list box on the right (lstselected). (much like any windows wizard would) This is done through the 4 buttons cmdSelect, cmdSelectAll, cmdDeselect, cmdDeselectAll.
Now it has been a long time since I have had to work with VB and I am struggling a little to create the required coding to pass data from one listbox to the other.
For reference:
CboContractor takes information from tblContractor. The data is ContID and ContName and the bound column is 1.
LstAvailable takes information from tblSkills. The data is SkillID, SkillComm and SkillNotes. Bound column is 1
LstSelected will place data into tblcontskills.
Tblcontskills has the fields, tcsID, ContID, SkillID
Can anyone help or does anyone know where I can find some good examples on the net as I have browsed through the search pages here and not really found a great deal that is valid
Thankyou in advance for your help everyone
Automating Internet Explorer With Office XP.
Jul 29, 2005Iīm thinking of starting to use office XP for a small system I have. My question is:
Is office XP more compatible with internet explorer in terms of VBA automating? I have had to work around internet explorer quite a lot in office 97, and I havenīt been able to do what I want.
Fuga.
Using Visual Basic Together With Internet Explorer
Aug 16, 2005There is an online form which we need to fill out for each of our inventory units. This form has several dozen fields though. We have to fill each one out for every unit that we ship (which is about a hundred a day).
But the good news is, about 25 of these 30 fields are always filled in with the same value (our name, address, city, state, zip, insurance, insurance no, carrier, carrier no, etc).
What we want is a way to fill out these fields for us automatically, and all we have to do is type in the remaining 5 fields ourselves.
My temporary solution was to create a form with 5 fields and a Submit button. Then using AppActivate "Inventory Adjustment - Microsoft Internet Explorer", we would use the SendKeys function and virtually "type" in the 5 variable values and the 25 other "hardcoded" values, using the Tab key to move in between fields.
However, we have encountered some issues using SendKeys. For one, the cursor doesn't always start in the correct place, and the fields become horribly offset and skewed. Also we notice that sometimes the cursor moves "too fast" apparently and skips pasting some of the values (an issue we tried to resolve by using "wait" commands, but it didn't help consistently enough).
Is there a better way to use Visual Basic to fill in fields in an Internet Explorer window? :(

Problem Opening .mdb Via Internet Explorer
Jan 21, 2005We have a webpage hyperlink to a network drive that contains a database...but this particular database doesnt open. It shows Access running under process in Task Managerk, but the application doesnt show up as running. Our other databases open fine...for some reason this particular one refuses. I get a message when opening the link that the publisher could not be verified. It almost seems like a security issue with Internet Explorer. I've lowered all security to the lowest levels and enabled everything. These links are only accessed from within the company. Any ideas would be great. Thanks, Jeff

I have used the tree control to acomplish this but the major drawback I have found is it becomes WAY too slow when utilizing large amounts of data due to many embeded loops. Does anyone know an alternative or a way to program the tree control to only add nodes once a selection is expanded?
Basically I want this to operate as a drilldown of infinate levels with the speed of windows explorer. Unfortunatly all the code I have seen requires that all nodes are designated/Created when the form is loaded.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated

Forms :: Provide File Explorer Functionality To Open PDFs
Nov 1, 2013I'm a newbie and using Access 2007.
I have added functionality that creates a report, saves it as a PDF, and then sends it to a customer via email as an attachment. The PDF file is saved to a folder and is named to include the Customer's unique customer number and the date and time the PDF was created.
For example, if the customer number is 09 and the date was 10th October 2013 and the time 09.00am, the file name is 0009101020130900.pdf.
What I want to be able to do from within the database is to have a button, that when clicked, will display all of the Pdf's for only customer number 09. The customer number will be based upon a field in the customer record.
