Creating A Button That Exports To Excel
Oct 5, 2006
Hello All-
I'm at the end of a long project that has one last step. I was hoping that someone here would be generous enough to help. I'm pretty much a novice at Access and am sure that my question can be easily answered. So here is the problem.
I have data that is loaded from a PDA to a form in Access. The data can then be viewed in a list box which is great. I also need to be able to save the data from the list box, using a button, as an excel spreadsheet. Is there anyone here that is willing to guide me to a solution?? Thanks in advance -Tom

I have an application at a client site which is split into two mdb files, a front end (forms, queries, etc.) and a backend (tables, data only).I have a query involving multiple tables, which creates an Excel Spreadsheet. Sometime after installing it at client site, it no longer works because the entire contents of the query itself are wiped out -- totally empty. When I open up the query in design mode, it is empty -- no tables, no columns, no select blank, empty.

I am trying to export a table from access to excel. It has a couple of columns with times in and when excel opens it just shows 00/01/1900 for all the values.
Here is my query that creates the table for exporting:
Code:
SELECT tblRoadClosuresAdditionalDates.Reference, tblRoadClosuresAdditionalDates.DateOfClosure, CStr(Format([TimeFrom],"Medium Time")) AS TimeFromMod, TimeValue([TimeTo]) AS
TimeToMod, tblRoadClosuresAdditionalDates.NumberOfPeople INTO tmpAdditionDates
FROM tblRoadClosuresAdditionalDates
WHERE (((tblRoadClosuresAdditionalDates.Reference)=[Forms]![frmProgressRoadClosures]![sfrmRoadClosuresAdditionalDates].[Form]![Reference]));
You can see a couple of my attempts to handle this data above.
I am using this code to create my excel table.
Code:
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryRCADditionalDatesFilteredExport"
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel8, "tmpAdditionDates", "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx", No
way to handle this field so that I get just the time in the medium time format appearing in the excel table.

I have a combo box with different department names in it
I have a button in a form called cmdShowDept the caption "Show only one Department"
When I open the form I have the combo box set to not be visible
When the Show only one Department command button is pressed I want the following to happen;
The Department combo box should appear
The button's text should change to "Show all Departments" in red
If the button is clicked when the text is red then:
the original button text should return in Black
the department combo should disappear
After clicking on the button and you click one of the specific departments ie accounting I want it to show only the accounting records in the form.
I'm still learning about access, so thanks for any help anyone can give me pleeeese!!

I'm using Access 2010's DoCmd.OutputTo in VBA to export reports to PDF. The "look and feel" of the PDFs are very important, as they will be distributed to clients of my company. I'm using special corporate fonts that are legally licensed for embedding as a subset. Two are .ttf (TrueType) and two are .otf (OpenType) fonts. The ttf fonts embed fine; the otf fonts do not, and the PDF viewer substitutes something it thinks is close (but really isn't). In the properties of the fonts in Windows Control Panel, the embedding properties are exactly the same for both.
Any way to force the fonts to embed? or any other workaround? Also, is there any way to edit-protect PDFs with VBA code? Or apply any other type of PDF security such as requiring a password to open?

I am stuck with a problem where I need to create a new table from an excel file. In detail my problem is;
The excel file contains an order from a customer, like below,
BOM Component Qty
123 abc 2
123 def 2
234 ert 1
234 qwe 1
234 uio 1
I need to create a table from this data like;
Qty Partno
1 123
4 abc
4 def
1 234
2 ert
2 qwe
2 uio
NB! In reality the components are numbers not letters.
The qty for BOM is always 1 and the component 2xqty.
It is important that the BOM number is listed first and thereafter its components.
So I need to somehow associate the BOM number with its components and list them together as a group.
I just cannot figure out how to do this.
ANy help is greatly appreciated.

I have written a piece of code in Access that creates a Excel work book. The work book is populated with the various data and then made visible to the user.
Everything is working perfectly apart from one minor problem.
When creating a new workbook excel automatically puts 3 worksheets in... If the code creates 1 or 2 sheets of data I want it too delete the sheet that is blank. This is easy to do although it always prompts the user for confirmation.
How do I delete a worksheet without the prompt?
I have hunted everywhere for the answer and can't find it anywhere, any help would be great.
Example of code:
Dim XL As Excel.Application
Dim WkBook As Excel.Workbook
Dim WkSheet As Excel.Worksheet
Set XL = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set WkBook = XL.Workbooks.Add
Set WkSheet = WkBook.Worksheets(1)
WkSheet.Delete

Hi All,
I am having real problems creating a Excel from Access. I have rea lots of threads, but none seem to address this problem.
OK, so I have windows XP, Access 2003 and Excel all running quite happily on my PC, when I copy Access databases with the verb ".Excel" in it, I can access it and update/extend as needed.
However, I have just created a new piece of VBA code in a new database and the ".Excel" extensions are not present.....
So I have
Sub openReport()
Dim myXL As Excel.Worksheet
Set myXL = createXlWorksheet
.........
End Sub
Public Function createXlWorksheet() As Excel.Worksheet
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim xlBook As Excel.Workbook
Dim xlSheet As Excel.Worksheet
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set xlBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Add
Set xlSheet = xlBook.Worksheets.Add
Set createXlWorksheet = xlSheet
Set xlSheet = Nothing
Set xlBook = Nothing
Set xlApp = Nothing
End Function
And in some databases this works correcttly, but this one database,when I type the string "Dim myXL As.Ex" I do not get the "Excel" operator presented, it is just not in the list of object functions..... any ideas?? it's sending me mad!!!!
Thanks

I am new to Access and somewhat OK with Excel.I am working at a government institution, agriculture sector. We have field staff of ~150 doing different field ranges ~350. Some officers are assign to more than one field BUT no field is assign to more than one officer. (these fields belongs to different Districts, number of fields in each district is not the same)
we have four different programs namely new cultivation program (NPP), productivity improvement of existing lands (PIP), farmer capacity building (HRM) and post harvest handling (PHP). Each program has its activities lets say NPP1, NPP2, PIP1, PIP2,PIP3 etc. for an example NPP1 is land inspection, NPP2 is donating planting materials. these activities are predefined and sequential. (planting materials can not be donate without land inspection)
Officers send their progress to progress monitoring unit monthly which includes progress of each program and each activity progress for that month. My objective is to track, analyse, visualize officers progress.
These are the questions I have,As I am OK with Excel and NOT good with Access do you think I should use access for this due to any special advantage only access can give me.can I visualize data with Access?

I would like to create a database that would enable me to select various options (from dropdown lists) which I could then have tidily arranged in an email that would automatically be sent to the recipient.
Before I attempt to design the facing page I'd like to know if this is an option in Access?

We have small data dumps from a webservice delivered to us daily in csv format. I'd like to create a system where we can have the data automatically imported into either Access.
My idea is this:
1. CSV is downloaded to <x> folder.
2. Scheduled Task runs script to look in folder <x>
3. If CSV is found in folder <x>, import it's data into a fixed Access db->table.
4. Move CSV to an archive folder to avoid re-processing.
Is this feasible? How complicated would it be, and how to get it on track?

I have attached the excel document in a zip file. Excel documents are not an authorized file type. This is going to be used for volunteers to input the shift and day they would like to work. I want to start by requiring volunteers to contact me and I will add them to the list of possible volunteers and I will give them a unique identification number.
When they contact me I will require all the information that is currently in the excel document (first, last, supervisor, ph number) I will then add them to a list of possible volunteers.
Then I would like a form they can access via sharepoint for volunteering what shift they can work. On this form it will have a box to input their unique id number and then select a shift from a dropbox (that has not been filled and auto populates). This will add them to the schedule.
Then I need a way to pull a report that shows all the volunteers and does not include their ID numbers.
As you can see the supplied document is full for March. I also have a second sheet that is blank for April.
I imagine there will be tables for
Volunteers (no duplicates in this list)
Supervisors (1 supervisor can be over multiple Volunteers)
Dates/Shifts (there are 2 shifts per day, there are 2 slots per shift)

putting a search button on a form on my database.
On the navigation buttons at the base of the form there is a search facility where I can type a record id but I would like to get rid of that and search records either by turning the ID field into a searchable box or by adding a button where I can press it and get a search box up.

Using Access 2013.I have a Search Form with a Run Query button. I would like to add a button that clears the criteria entered into the search text boxes. Right now to change the criteria I have to manually delete everything entered, closed the current query it had open then go from there. I have tried using the command button wizard, form operations, then refresh form data. When I click that button a window pops up "The command or action 'refresh' isnt available right now".Is this not the correct way to set up what I need? What other options should I look into for setting this up?

So I have a form that allows me to view the information associated with a specific record. Within this form is also a subform that shows additional information about the record from a junction table. I want to create a button that allows me to edit the information on both forms.
