General :: Mail Merge Word File (using Data From Access File)
Mar 11, 2014I often create contract using mail merge. I have an access file that I want to use as data source for word file. But it does not automatically.
Please download the attached file !
If there are 1 customer and 1 property, I do not need to do anything. Conversely, if there are many customers and many properties, I take time to manipulate.
Firstly, I open the word file. I have to copy and paste paragraphs that I want. Highlight of the original paragraphs is blue.
Secondly, I click 'Insert Word Field' -> select 'Next Record'.
In short, I wish to use VBA in access file to automatically perform the steps that I have outlined.
Backup Current Access File Using Vba While The File Is Open
Jul 11, 2007I have a button in the form of the current access file. What I want to do is when the user click on the button,
triggered the vba to backup current access file. But since the file is currently open, is this possible? If yes, may I know how to do it with vba?
I have tried two methods but failed:
1) Use copytofile method, but I get permission denied due to file open;
2) Use dbengine.compactdatabase method, but it also has problem if the file is open.
Does File Server Hosting Back-end Mdb File Need To Have Access
Nov 15, 2013I'm experimenting with MS Access, and I've successfully split an MDB someone created into two files. I can access the database from 2 computers at once using the front end file connecting to a file server which hosts the _be.mdb file.
Could the _be.mdb file theoretically be on a NAS without any computer attached, or is there some runtime or full version of Access that needs to run on the machine with the back end file?

Program Working In Access 2007 Not Working In Access 2010 Due To Missing OCX File
Dec 27, 2014 I have a program that runs under access 2007 that I use at my work. We will soon be updating to MS office 2010 and the program will not work now because a calender file .ocx was removed from access 2010. Is there a way to get the 2007 .ocx file to work in access 2010?The program I am using is a relatively simple stand-alone and unsupported app that we use to request patient arrival and departure from various radiology tests inside a hospital. No reports are made from the app other than the number of patient transports for the day.
The app is placed on a common drive accessed from any pc in the hospital. No special permissions are required. But our app does use the calendar, time and date functions in access 2007. When I tried the app on a pc with access 2010, it basically says it (access) cannot open the app because a .ocx file is not present.Is there a way to make the access 2010 calendar file work in access 2007?

I have a .mdb file that was created with Access 2000. Before I upgraded to 2003, I opened the file source by holding down 'shift' and double clicking the file. Now when I do that, it runs the application. How can I open the source file again.

Does anyone have an idea how I can do this into Access.
Link To Pdf File Within Access
Jul 21, 2006Hello..
Here is what I would like to do. I have a folder say with 100 pdf's. What I would like to do is from an access folder be able to point to the specific pdf and have it create a link within the access form to the pdf they point to... Does this make sense?
Is there a way from within an access form that you can have a button that lets the end user look in a folder and select the pdf... and then create and store the link in an access form???

Multiple File Access
Nov 29, 2004Hello, We are writing an application in access which accepts an order number.
We use the order number to read a non-access db file to retrieve the customer
number - this works fine. We would like to use the customer number to read an
additional file to retrieve the customer name but are unable to make this work.
Can anyone help please?
Additional info: In the access program we are using dlookup to retrieve the customer number from
the non access data base. This is working and the accss field is being populated correctly. We
would like to use this field to read an additional file to retrieve additional data. We seem unable to
string two dlookups together. Is this possible? regards
Private sub order_afterupdate()
accno = dlookup("customer_code", "dbo_firstfile", "order_number= forms! [rsd]![order]")
End sub
This works well, but when we include an additional statement;
name = dlookup ("customer_name", "arrcustomers", "customer_code = forms! [rsd] ! [accno]")
end sub
no data is returned.
Help! Access DB File Locked!
Jul 26, 2005Hi All
I am using OLEDB to connect to an Access DB and it does use the "admin" account as the default user to connect from within Access i.e. this is not a Windows account.
I have an ASP.NET web page that is trying to do a compact and repair using a jet/MDAC object called JRO (Jet Replication Object).
The problem is whenever I call the JRO object I get this error:
"You attempted to open a database that is already opened exclusively by user 'admin' on machine..."
If I try and delete the .ldb file it is ofcourse locked. I found that if I do a CTRL-ALT-DEL and end the aspnet_wp process I am then able to delete the .ldb file and then successfully execute the compact and repair from the ASP.NET web page.
The aspnet_wp process when ended simply restarts itself (a new instance no doubt) and in doing so cannot remember it had a lock on the access db.
My conclusion is that the aspnet_wp process locks the access db file for or on behalf of the "admin" user in the access db.
Even if all connections have been closed the aspnet_wp process has a lock on the database file!
I am still searching for a way to tell the aspnet_wp to let go of the access db file!
I did use getprocessbyname() from the ASP.NET page to try and kill the instance of aspnet_wp programmatically and try and force it to forget by starting a new instance of itself, but ofcourse IIS gets really upset and won't let me kill this process from an ASP.NET page because I figure that in this case its suicide and aspnet/IIS won't "kill" itself but would be happy to "kill" other processes.
Anyway, I would have been content with the "kill the aspnet_wp process instance" approach except it won't suicide.
Does anyone have any idea how I might tell the aspnet_wp process to let go of the acccess db file?
By the way, I found the only account you need in a dev environment is the ASPNET account with read/write access and also your own account if you want to browse the folder yourself. No other accounts needed.
Any ideas appreciated.
I think this one has me beaten
