Change File Format
Dec 6, 2004
Hi all,
I had a form with a command button which invokes email sending option to send a report..I am using code from a sample database . The code which I am using is here:-
'This will create the e-mail
DoCmd.SendObject acReport, "Rpt_Customer", "RichTextFormat(*.rtf)", "", "", , "Customer Report", "", False, ""
'Tbis explains all the section of the e-mail see SendObject in help
Rem example from help DoCmd.SendObject [objecttype][, objectname][, outputformat][, to][, cc][, bcc][, subject][, messagetext][, editmessage][, templatefile]
The code is working perfect and my question is that can I change the file format from RichTextFormat to word format????? I tried by chaning "WordDocument (*.doc)" but it didn't worked???? Is there any way I can change that to word format (*.doc)???? any suggestions appreciated .
thanks in advance
Thanks

The DB this info is pulled from stores the NAME field in all caps.
My query returns the name like= JAMES JONES
Is there something I can do to change the name format to James Jones?
SELECT
[OPEN CASES].CASE,
[OPEN CASES].[MEMBER#],
[CLIENT TABLE 2].NAME,
[CLIENT TABLE 2].A1,
[CLIENT TABLE 2].A2,
[CLIENT TABLE 2].ADD INTO [MEMBER CASE TABLE]
FROM [CLIENT TABLE 2] INNER JOIN [OPEN CASES] ON [CLIENT TABLE 2].MEMBER = [OPEN CASES].[MEMBER#]
WHERE ((([CLIENT TABLE 2].RELATION_CODE)="C")) OR
((([CLIENT TABLE 2].RELATION_CODE)="S") AND
([CLIENT TABLE 2].MEMBER_CASE_STATUS)="A"))
ORDER BY [CLIENT TABLE 2].ADD;

Hello. I'm triyng to change every field format in a Form each time I jump from one field to another. I want it to get grey and bold when it got the focus
I managed it with a GetFocus and Lost Focus for each field but whena form has a lot of fields it gets "a lot" of programing.
Is there a way of doing it another way, for instance On current
Thanks

I have a "make table" query. Inside that query there is a simple expression that divides two fields by one another to arrive at a %. Example 5/100=5%. However, the data returned is not in a % format.I know that I can go into table properties and change the fromat to "percentage", but that will only work for the current table that I have created. Once I re-run the "make table" query, I lose the change to the format, and my value again returns to a number, not a %..
Is there any way to always have a percentage returned without having to manually change the format each time that I run the query, or having to make a "delete" and "append query" ?

I have a table that contains information along with a field named "Date Input" and then a calculated field called "Due NLT Date". New records are appended to this table daily. The calculated "Due NLT Date" field is simply "[Date Input]+5".
In some unforeseen circumstances the "Due NLT Date" field needs to be extended to 6 or 7 days from the "Date Input". I am trying to find a way adjust the number of days using a command button/VBA getting the desired number of days either from an input box or from a txt box on a form.
I have been playing with using SQL ALTER TABLE in VBA but can't get it to work.
I'd image it would look something like this but how to write it correctly:
RunSQL ALTER TABLE "table" FIELD "field" to calculated "[Date Input]+ & input box "Enter number of days""

First off a big thank you to this forum... have solved a lot of questions I have had and some I never knew I had. Keep in mind this is all from a non-programmer so my question(s) might not be technically sound.
The issue I have is I have built a database to track documents that we process. It is uses an autonumber and that has worked great. The issue is eventually this document gets processed in our accounting system and I want to retrieve data from there and add it to the document record.
I figured out how to like the ODBC database and that worked, but I get an expression error. The field in the ODBC database is text and in Access it is an Autonumber.
Is there a way to copy the autonumber field and change it to text property to align with the other database?
All help welcome and appreciated.

I came into a database where the forms have checkboxes connected to table fields that are in text data type. I see that when the checkbox is checked, the value in the field is still -1 in the table. Is there a reason to change these fields to Yes/No data type or just keep them as they are? Are there limitations or problems to having Yes/No values (-1) in a text field?

I have a list of patients that are seeing various clinicians in a clinic. Currently everything is on paper and when a patient arrives we highlight their name on the list. So now that I'm finally moving everything paperless, I want to have the record become "highlighted" when I select patient has arrived. The only problem is as it's a continuous form, the formatting changes on all records. Here is the screenshot before anyone arrives:
Those are two separate records that you see. Behind all of those fields is a box coloured #E7F442 (optic yellow-ish). What I want is when I select "Arrived" from the dropdown, for the fields on the left (name, number, appointment type, etc) to become transparent so the yellow shows through and looks highlighted. I've used this code:
Code:
Private Sub ATCST_AfterUpdate()
If Me.ATCST = "Arrived" Then
Me.RGBCHID.BackStyle = 0
Me.PATNAME.BackStyle = 0
Me.TCDESC.BackStyle = 0
Me.VISPURP.BackStyle = 0
Me.ATCMNT.BackStyle = 0
Me.ATTIME.BackStyle = 0
Me.ATCST.BackStyle = 0
[code]....
Making the whole code utterly useless, as it's changing the formatting on every record. Is there a way to program this so the formatting changes only affect the record I'm working on at that moment?

I'm working on a purchasing database where if the user checks a box on a subform, another field needs to be disabled. The code works, but since this is a continuous subform, it disables that field on every row. Is there any way to make it stick to the row the user is working on?
Here's the code:
If Me!acs_puchase = -1 Then
Me!inventory_po.Enabled = False
ElseIf Me!acs_puchase = 0 Then
Me!inventory_po.Enabled = True
End If
Thank you!

I'm having a format problem. I have a query (Q1) that, among other things format a date field as YYYYMM (Field1).
I have a second query (Q2) whose data source is Q1.
In Q2 I need to link Q1 to a table but Field1 is being reformatted as text (confirmed by running a make table query).
I want Field1 to be Number format to eliminate a mismatch error.
I know how to change the format of a field in a table using VBA but I cant seem to find a way of changing the format within a query.

Hi All,
If it is possible to change the format properties of a menu/toolbar could someone please point me in the direction of some guidance/ let me know how to go about it I would appreciate it.
Specifically I'm trying to change the menu bar's /database window's property to match my forms (and company branding).
I've Googled various phrases in both UK and US spellings (to be on the safe side) and searched a few forums (this one included) and cannot find much beyond creating customised menu/tool bars.
Many thanks

Had a combobox so the user could choose between two data entry formats.They don't want the combobox, they want the user to enter data into one or the other textbox - and that choice to trigger the format.Two groups of text box - group 1 has a single text box - group 2 has three text box. When the user selects a text box and types the first character into it. This triggers locking out the other group choice and enables the <Validate and Edit> command button.
If the user backs out (deletes) the text in a text box.It basically makes both groups available again and it disables the <Validate and Edit> command button.Basically, if the text box Change event counts a character, it changes the text box Tag to "Bust". Then it calls a common routine that checks both text boxes.The choice won't take place if the textbox gets focus. It changes if a text box has 1 or more character typed in.
Code:
Sub WhosOnFirst()
' two groups of Required field - if one textbox in a group has a character entered first
' that group becomes the Format - enables the <Validate and Accept> button that will take the next setp
[code]...

Does Access able to extract and format data from Access such as follow:
abc/d e4.5% 0216 010203 USD22.35 - extract 'abc', '010203', '22.35'.
abc - it's always in front, it's either 'abc' or 'wxyz'. If 'abc' is not shown, just input 'wxyz'.
'010203' - it will be in the middle, it may appear as abc010203 or abc222010203, always in 6 digit.
22.35 - always at the back, after three alphabet, if it's not shown, just input 0.
I have been able to do it in Excel, but I am wondering if it can be done in Access so that I can eliminate the process to import the text file into Excel.
Please advise and thanks.

Hi:
Working with a bank that wants a file from us so they can import into their check reconciliation program. Got the export from the accounting program working for the info they need, but the bank guy says he needs a file structure like this:
(first row is header..don't worry about what the stuff means for now)
1234578990000000000000000
(rest of rows are details)
1234589000807091234
1234589000807093456
notice the line breaks between header and rows? Wouldn't this call for a line break and mess up an import program? Bank guy isn't a database person and is clueless
Thanks......

Hi,
I am trying to email a table in text format using :
DoCmd.SendObject acSendTable, "Table", acFormatTXT, , , , "Results", "Attached are the reslts"
It sends the file in text file format, but it adds "-" & "|" characters all over the file. Is there a way that I can send the file in simple "Comma Separated" file format.
Thx,
Jatz
