I have developed a database, which holds the information about different policies we use in the organisation. There are people responsible for reviewing and updating these policies by a dead line. All the information is tored in the main regarding each policy and person responsible against it.
Is it possible to send a notification to the person responsible saying that this is the reminder or is is possible to fire a report to this person with detials of outstanding policies he/she is responsible for.
I have a table in Access with a field End Date with couple of other fields like Company Name and Description associated with the End Date as one record. In other words, one record has fields Company Name, Description and End Date.how could I get Access trigger an email automatically to a set of people let's say a month before the End Date is approaching. If the End Date is 30/4/2015, I would need Access to be triggering an email to the recipients on 30/3/2015.
Hi, this is probably a very easy question for you “Access-gods” out there.
I’ve made a database (MS Access 2000) with all my clients. I collect a lot of contact info, including e-mail.
I want to make a function which opens a new mail window (Outlook 2003) and automatically puts in the e-mail from my form (In the send-to field of outlook).
I have a ms access table with two fields...tablename is ..."Addresses"..
Field1:= Employee_mail_id Field2:= Leave_balance
What I need to do is that,I need to send individual mail (in Bulk) two each employee intimating their leave balances. Is it possible to do it in vb .I want it to assign the codes in a button.
Below iss the code.
Dim r As Recordset Dim email As String Set r = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("select * from Addresses") Do While Not r.EOF email = email & r(2) & ";" r.MoveNext Loop r.Close DoCmd.SendObject acSendNoObject, Null, Null, email, Null, Null, "Test subject", "Message body of the test letter", False, Null
I have a table with tasks in which are allocated to specific staff members. The start date of the task is currently inputted by the user and then an estimated time frame is inputted which automatically enters the planned end date.
When a task is complete a Yes/No box is ticked so that these tasks don't show up on the current list anymore.
I wondered if it is possible, for the second task allocated to a certain person to have the start date automatically inputted depending on the planned end date of the precious task.
So if the planned end date was 12/06/2015 then the start date of the next would be 12/06/2015 and so on.
I have a database on a machine with office xp. I store the database in C:Database. I can run a query then link the results of that query to a template document I have setup via mail merge. The document then opens and fills out the fields based on the query results. I transferred the database onto another machine with office 2003 and put it in exactly the same directory c:database. and when i try to link the query to word, word just comes up saying it cant find the source. I have gone around various machines at work and the merge runs fine on all machines with office xp and not with 2003.
I have four tables, each containing name of one family member. Dad, Mom, son, and other. One of the four called us, and in many instances, they ask that we send a letter to them. Sometimes, they say, send the letter to Mom, or send it to dad, or sis. We are creating an automated output query to print one of two letters, to go to the appropriate person. Depending on which person is selected as the one to receive mail, we need to merge out into Word that person's data, which may be in any of the four tables, but is the only one bearing an indicator (checkmark, etc).
Don't know how to word the query to look thru the data on that family (from four tables) and select the indicated one, output the address info.
I have a form on which users select fields to include in a query and can select their parameters. The query itself is then created using an SQL statement in the VBA behind the form.
I want to be able to use the records which this query selects through mail merge. With a standard query, this is easy because from within Word I can choose the query through the mail merge settings. However, since the query doesn't exist in this case (it is created every time it's run using VBA) I can't figure out how to do it.
Ideally, I want the form to come up during the mail merge process so that the user can specify which records to use, but I can't select a form as a mail merge source.
I wonder if anyone can help I have been using Access Queries in order to create merge letters in Word for years and now we have upgraded to Office 2003 everything seems to be going wrong. This is what I do:
1. Open a query in design view enter the relevant text in the appropriate field in order to select the records I want from the table, then I run it and the correct entries are there.
2. Open a standard letter in Word which was created and has been linked to the above mentioned query years ago.
This is where the problem starts in the past the letter opens up and the correct info is displayed so I go ahead and print. Now what is happening rather then linking to the query it is either displaying the last record that was used or nothing at all and in the record number box it says 0 when I know that there are several selected in the query.
I have tried re doing the merge setup and nothing happens the only way round it I have found is to merge it with the table rather then the query then using the Mail Merge Recipients Box you have to go through and reselect the records you want which is a pain as there are 945 records in the table.
I am trying to put a button on a form that will run a mail merge to populate a Word (2007) document with information from the single record in the form. I would think this would be easy to do, but after working on it, and searching the internet, I'm finding it is not. Normally I would simply use an Access Report to do this, but the document is about 7 pages long (a contract), and people want to have the ability to modify the result.
What I have done so far:
-I've created a form that displays a single record from my Customers table -I've created a query that pulls the Customer fields I need, and is filtered on the Customer ID that is active in the form. When I open this query by itself, it pulls back the one record I want. -I then opened both the form and query, and then run through the External Data - Mail Merge wizard.
Problems I've run into:
1) Initially when I tried to select my query in the Mail Merge Wizard, it wouldn't show. I then found tips to prompt for the data connection type when the file is opened, and to set it to MS Access with DDE. This allowed me to see the query, and seemed to work OK when I added the fields I needed to the Word document. But then when I tried to rerun the Word doc, I would get a connection error. If I run through the connection setup process again, it seems to work, but again when I rerun it later, I get the connection error. For simplicity I have put the Access DB and Word document on my desktop. Eventually these will go on the network.
At this point I have a button on my form, and it successfully opens the Word document, but the "merged" fields just show the record that I had saved the document with, so there is no true merging going on. If I open the Access DB Form & query and then open the Word document directly, I get the error "Word could not re-establish a DDE connection to Microsoft Access to complete the current task".
Is there a way to have Access send an alert message when a particular date is getting close? I have a database that tracks automatic step increases to pay and when the dates occur. I would like to create a pop up that could alert me when a date is getting close so that I can inform the budget person that a certain employee will be getting a bump in their pay starting on a particular date? Is that possible in 2010?
it's possible to use a union query as a mail merge? I haven't found anything that says I can't do it, but I'm not getting my merge to complete, and when I switch to a plain query (and not changing anything else) my merge is successful, so I'm thinking there might be a limitation.
In the following code, I debug a problem with the CurrentDb.OpenRecordset
Code: ' --- ' ENVOYER UN MAIL DEPUIS ACCESS ' --- ' Entree : strEmail <- Adresse e-mail du destinataire ' strObj <- Objet du courrier ' strMsg <- Corps du message
I use an access db that stores our customer info on a mssql backend. I need to be able to create a mail merge based on a customers renewal date. Now I do know how to set parameters in a query but is there a way I can use a access report to enter a month and day they are set to renew then have it create the mail merge based on their info?
The Layout is fairly simple just a renewal notice with what they have on their plan.
I am trying to create VBA code (I have very little experience of VBA) to recreate a parameter query mail merge, which Access 2013 cannot achieve with the controls provided.I think that I need to assign a variable to the value of a control on my form then assign that variable to the relevant criteria section of my query.
Code: DIM RefNo as String DIM IDNo as String RefNo = Me.[Reference Number].Value IDNo = Me.Text582.Value DoCmd.OpenQuery SORTER How do you paste into criteria?
From there I would like to do a Word Mail Merge by having VBA open a document in Word, then activate the Merge to a New Document instruction.
I have a query that populates a report linked to a mail merge. There is an IFF statement in it that checks to see if a condition is meet. If that condition is meet some standard text results. Is it possible to put a disclaimer with the standard text.For example,
Code: IIF ([Results]="Negative","Nothing detected" (the disclamer would go here)
I am not certain the correct syntax to use to insert "not all regions were tested".
I am in the process of development of a database and one of the functionality that I would like to achieve is a custom ID to become automatic on my 'ADD-CUSTOMER' form (e.g. CID0001 - CID0002) so on an so forth. From my research all I can see in access 2010 is a autonumber which cannot be altered (or at least i don't know how).
I am tying to create a setup application in access. The setup forms are incorporated in the database application.It has to split my database into a FE and BE so that the corresponding files can be placed in thier corresponding files folders automatically. Iam doing this because the database has to be exported to a number of remote locations every after two weeks.
Apart from using the Database Splitter, Could there be any Ideas on how i can split and link my database through code.
I am using DMax function for my custom autonumber I just realized that when using this in a multi user environment, I am getting duplications. This field is not the primary key, and I am using this as a group ID and cannot set it to “no duplications” My form also has a sub form, and when entering the sub form, the main record gets saved automatically. First I added the following procedure
Private Sub Form_AfterInsert() If IsNull(Me.OrderNo) Then Me. OrderNo = DMax("OrderNo ", "tblOrder") + 1 End If
Private Sub cmdSave_Click() If IsNull(Me.OrderNo) Then Me. OrderNo = DMax("OrderNo ", "tblOrder") + 1 End If
However, I then realized the after insert function will add the new autonumber to the form. However, it will not saved it to the table until the main record is saved again (which may not happen)
“DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord” doesn’t seems to be working after the “Form_AfterInsert”
Now I moved the code to the “Form_BeforeUpdate” (still testing)
Hi there,I know very little about Access but been asked to find out if this is possible:On a database we have a date field for when subscription is due, is there any way that if a DirectDebit method of payment has been chosen, when the date of renewal is, access will automatically update the year to the next one?Thank you very muchCathy
Our small newspaper needs to create a database of subscribers from which we can print labels in what the post office calls "Walk Sort" order, the order in which the mail carrier hand delivers the mail on his route. The number associated with a particular subscriber is not fixed because if another subscriber is added on that mail carriers route, it may fall between two existing entries. So the Walk Sort field needs to automatically renumber up or down when an entry is added or deleted. I will use that field to sort chronologically and print form feed labels. I've figured out a way to do this in Excel, but I think Access might be a better program to use for this database. My question is, can Access automatically renumber a Walk Sort field if I add or remove entries? If so, how do I set it up to do that? P.S. I haven't used Access for quite some time, and I wasn't very proficient with it then. :o
I have many front end's (using ACCESS 2007 runtime version) in different terminals. Suppose that from 'terminalA', I am assigning a task to an employee who's using 'terminalB'. The user is already looged on to the program by this time, so I want that 'task' to appear on his terminal without him having to press the 'Refresh' button (that I placed on the form) every time I give him a new task when he's logged on so he could see it. How would I do this?
