This might be impossible, but I was wondering if there was a way to attach files to records on a form. I work for a marketing company and I have built a contact management database and I need to attach files such as letters and emails to records on a form. I also would like a list of files attached to that record to display also. I don't know if this makes sense or if it is possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Everyone,
I have a PO table. Each PO has 3 documents of multiple types (one may be Word, other may be Excel, Acrobat). When I display the PO, the attachments should be shown as Icons, which when double-clicked, will open in its own Application.
I have a pop-up screen where I enter new PO details. In this screen, I have Attach/Detach buttons for each of the Documents.
My Requirement:
When I press 'ATTACH' of Doc1, the File Selection screen should be displayed from where the user will select the file to be attached. This file should be updated into the table field "doc1".
When I press 'DETACH' of Doc1, the file in table field "doc1" must be cleared.
How can I achieve this???:mad:

Is it possible to edit the recent files of a access database?
We have a main database (version control database) from where you can open a database which is located on a network drive.
By selecting the datbase you need from a dropdown menu, access will check which version you have locally. If there is an updated version available on the network it will download this updated version, overwriting the old one. The 'main' database is then closed and the local version of the database you needed is opened.
The problem is that this local database is mentioned in the recent files history so people are able to bypass using the main database.
In Excel you can clear the recent files with application. Recent Files setting the maximum to 0 and back to original again. In Access you do not have this option.
Where I would be able to find this option. Ideally I'd like to only take out a specific databasename from the recent files, rather then resetting the full list.

I have files that have extension of TSV which are text files but viewable in exel. I figured out a way for the user to click on a button in Access which does the following
1. Run Macro in Excel: The macro prompts the user to select the TSV file. After selection, macro opens the employee.tsv file in the excel (with excel being invisible) and saves it as employee.xls
Code:
Sub SaveTSVtoXLS()
Dim myPath As String
Dim myString As Variant
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)
[Code] .....
2. Imports the Excel file (employee.xls) into two tables: tblEmployee and tblDepartment using the following codes.
Code:
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12Xml, "qryDepartment", selectFile, True - 1, "A1:C2"
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel12Xml, "qryEmployee", selectFile, True - 1, "A1:AE2"
Everything is working flawless except that the user has to select the file three times:
1 time for the tsv
2 times for the xls file
Is there a way that the user can select the file only once (tsv file) or at least only twice one of the tsv file and the other for the xls file?

I'm creating a simple db on shared network drive and I need to upload or attach documents into it. Mainly PDF but may need to add .doc or .xls. I cannot use hyperlink since I cannot store the files where they are easily accessed due to security issues. So my only recourse was to create a secured db. Size is not an issue due to limited use. How do I do this?
Thanks
Chuck

I have a database on a shared network drive. All users except the manager have only read access to the file/directory. However, if the manager tries to open the file while other users have access open, it only allows him to read it as read only. If they close the database, then he can open it with read-write. Does access use another mechanism other than ldb files for locking?The weird thing is that it seems to be locking correctly. If the manager tries to open the file while someone has it open, it's read-only.

I've built a database to attach pictures of people to their records. In the table it's designed as an "OLE Object". When you goto the form you can click on the box, tell it to insert object, find the file, and the picture can be displayed to the record.
I've since learned that this process inflates the database and with the recent update changes from Microsoft (removing Photo Editor) I'm trying to learn to create databases to insert pictures having the same result but won't inflat the database.
I've learned of a view method to insert pictures that are a little more complicated to create using coding. My problem with this method is you would have to type in the file location manually to get the picture to attach. I'm working in a location that needs this process to be simpler then that. I need to find a way to browse for that picture instead of having to type in the file location manually.
HELP!

Hi, I'm not even sure how to describe my problem in the proper terms in order to look it up in any faq or tutorial.
I have one table, customers. Their name, number, etc.
Another table, products: Name, id, department, etc.
And the final table being orders. Customer bought product when, etc.
However, I'm only able to attach one product to each customer per order. I need to be able to attach any number of products, and I don't know how to go about doing that.
Also, when I create a form for entering all the data to these tables, the information doesn't stick. I create a form using the order table, enter the order and customer information, and have the products as a subform. The information will stick for each table, but they won't connect to each other.
If that makes any sense...
Any pointers would be great thanks, I don't even know where to start.

Hi,
Probably an easy one, but I'm stuck!
I'm dealing with quite a complex database and trying to make use of many subforms to minimize data entry and errors. I only want certain subforms to be visible through the use of a button, since for many records, the subform will not be needed. Upon clicking the button, I would like the subform to appear and related fields to be populated. I am already aware of how to attach buttons to open a form, however, I need the related field (child field) of the subform to be populated upon opening the form and this does not seem possible merely through opening a form by way of a button.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm currently at a a standstill.

We have a client who has managed to muck up their Access database by means of having two users on two computers attempting to use and modify it at the same time, and the primary (actually, the only) location for the database is on Dropbox.
What seems to have happened is that Dropbox detected a conflict, with two different versions of the same file, and resolved this by creating two separate files. How long this went on before the client noticed that they were entering data into two separate files, I can't say.
Their client list is 28,000 someodd people long. What I need to know is if there's a process for merging the two files together, without creating 28,000 duplicate entries. This is being run on Access 2002.

And yes I now that's the title of a Knowledge base article, I stole it because it put into words what I can only say in expletives right now.
Basically, well it's all a bit odd.
I got users on the network who, until yesterday, could access some networked databases. Other files from the same source are ok, just Access files.
Today the moment they click (and I mean a single-click) on the icon to open the database...explorer hangs.
You can't open the database from within MS Access either, that hangs too. But you CAN open them up and use them if you can get them copied locally.
Oh yeah, some people (in the same room, on the same VLAN) can access the database, but can't perform any tasks within it.
Databases are a mix of 97 and 2000.
And to make matters worse, it's happening on another server.
I know you're gonna shout virus, but that looks to be a non-starter since I know of no such virus which would affect ONLY Access files and do it on a single click, and secondly The systems check out fine with both Sophos (and our good luck charm AVG) run against them.
Holy Moley! Has anyone ever come accross such a palarva?

A have a table with many records and each record has a hyperlink to a document. Based on some criteria i want to attach the hyperlink file to an email. Don't want to have to do this manually. Is there anyway i can write code to go and get the hyperlink file and then attach the physical file into the email? This could result in 1 file being attached, 13 files being attached, 0 files etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Combsie.

I have an excel spreadsheet, that has a long list of names and unique numbers (of medical lab results)
I have another folder which has many text files (the actual lab reports), each of which has a file name that corresponds to one unique number in the excel spreadsheet.
How can I import the content of the text files into a single memo field (e.g. "LabResultContent") in the original datasheet?

Hi:
The company I am consulting with uses Access 2000 and has no intentions of upgrading. I currently do not own Access on my laptop.
I was planning to purchase Access 2003 for my laptop but am concerned that files I create in 2003 might not be "editable" in 2000 even if I choose the 2000 format when creating new databases.
I'm just wondering if anyone has tried creating a file in 2003 (using the 2000 format - as I'm told you can choose what format you want to use) and then edited it in 2000. I want my client to be able to edit the files in 2000 once I've moved on. (I can get 2003 for about the same price as 2000 - so my preference would be to get 2003.) The other obvious reason for going for 2003 is that I could run into the reverse challenge if I own 2000 and my next client uses 2003. At that point, I'd be forced to upgrade to 2003.
My databases are not complex - but do include some customized macros.
Any help, comments... appreciated.
Thx,
dave

I'm trying to work out how to attach a word doc to the attachment field of a table when I add a new Record. The following code work's fine if I add it to the On Load Event on the Form, but the doc is attach'd to the first record. When I add the code to the Add New Record button, I get the error msg: "File already part of the Multi-Valued Field" and nothing in the attachment field.
Code:
Private Sub Add_Record_Click()
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Me.Description.SetFocus
On Error GoTo Err_AddImage
Dim db As DAO.Database
