Modules & VBA :: Fixed Path Information - Function To Return String

Jun 20, 2014

The code has fixed path information on a lot of places in different SQLs (DoCmd.RunSqL command). I want to replace fixed path info with variable path info. Variable path info is stored in the table.

I managed to achieve that in the following manner:

Code:
Dim db As Database
Dim dbName as String
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset ("TableName", dbOpendynaset)
rs.FindFirst ("ID = " & 2)

[Code] ....

where I would use as variable Function name instead of dbName.

How to make module that will enable to use Function name as variable path information for SQL queries?

General :: Forms And Queries In One ACCDB File - Path Setting To Linked Table File

Oct 5, 2014

I've got the forms and queries in one .accdb file and my tables in a separate .accdb file. The forms file links to the tables in the tables file. The tables file resides in a folder called simply enough C:acc_tables and thats where i browsed to (obviously) when i set up the linkage.

One of the users does not wish (for whatever goddamn reason) to create a C:acc_tables file to stick the tables file in , and wants the tables file in some other folder.. Unfortunately this user does not have the skills to delete the existing links and re-link to the tables file after putting it in the folder he wants.

Where in the file that holds the forms and and queries do i find the path setting to the tables linked file? Can it be changed without deleting links and then re-linking?

Modules & VBA :: Get Full File Path And File Name?

Oct 28, 2014

I'm having another one of those days but I'm getting a file path and file name from a dialogbox and forgotten when the VBA property is to return the full file path and file name.

This code works fine for return the filename only:

Code:

Private Sub TEST()
Dim f As Object
Set f = Application.FileDialog(3)
f.AllowMultiSelect = True
If f.Show Then
For I = 1 To f.SelectedItems.Count
MsgBox Filename(f.SelectedItems(I))
Next
End If
End Sub

Instead of using 'Filename' what else can I use to return what I need?

Modules & VBA :: Store Path Location Selected By User To A String

Feb 7, 2014

I am using this code

DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "rptFilter", "Excel97-Excel2003Workbook(*.xls)", strFilename, True, "", , acExportQualityScreen

With the OutputFile set to "" so the user can select the directory on where they want to store the exported template. I'm trying to figure out if I could get the file path and the file name and store it on a string so I could use it for something else.

Get Path Of File

Apr 5, 2006

I have a button that allows a user to select a file using the windows select file dialog using the following code:

Dim fd As FileDialog
Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)

With fd
.Title = "Select A Text file to Import"
.Filters.Add "Text File", "*.txt"
.FilterIndex = 1
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.InitialFileName = CurrentProject.path
result = .Show
If (result <> 0) Then
Me!txt_path = Trim(.SelectedItems.Item(1))
End If
End With

Is there a way that I can capture the path of the file they select in a separate text box?

Thanks!

Specify Path To File With UNC

Mar 23, 2008

I went to the Microsoft knowledge base (304408) and found a routine that automatically logs off users with a short warning. It works fine, but depends on the presence or absence of a small text file which is named chkfile.ozx. The file is referenced in a form timer function as follows:

Dim StrFilename as String
strfilename = Dir("c:MyDirectorychkfile.ozx")

The function then tests for its presence and does its thing. You trigger the logoff by going in as sysop and changing the name of the file so it is no longer found.

The problem I have is that on the network, I use the backend file on the network and different users map different letters to it. I get around this by linking using UNC eg. \ServerNameSYSData_be.mdb.

I put the chkfile.ozx into this directory since all users presumably have access to it.

I tried changing the trigger function to

strfilename = Dir("\ServerNameSYSchkfile.ozx")

but the program doesn't recognize the presence of the file. When I map it as "F:SYSchkfile.ozx" it works, but since all users will not be mapped to "F", it really isn't a solution.

Does anyone know the proper syntax to include in the Dir method for UNC naming?

General :: String To Return Textbox Sum

Jun 15, 2015

I have a textbox on a subform and I want to get the sum in a string as follows.

Code:
Dim s1 As String
s1 = Sum(Forms!CountItem!CountItemLastCount.Form!ThisCount)
MsgBox s1

When I use the above I get an error message saying - Sub or function not defined and it highlights the sum part of the equation.

I have been using the sum criteria in a textbox but if the user doesn't tab of the box then it doesn't see it as being updated.

I have tried me.dirty and everything else that usually works like send keys tab event, requery form and controls, a left mouse click but nothing is working, therefore I thought that code to actually update the textbox may work.

Modules & VBA :: Get File Full Path

Jan 12, 2015

Im trying to programmatically (without any user intervention) retrieve the long path name for a given file. It seems to me this should be a rather easy thing to achieve using Access VBA. Ive tried using various FileSystemObject methods with no luck. Ive Googled many variants of VBA get full path without any meaningful hits. provide the first string as a parameter to some object and have it magically return the second string.

String 1: C:PROGRA~2COMMON~1MICROS~1VBAVBA7VBE7.DLL

Stint 2: C:Program Files (x86)Common Filesmicrosoft sharedVBAVBA7

Modules & VBA :: SQL CAST Function - Return Integer Value Of String

Aug 28, 2013

Need to use CAST to return integer value of string (digits as data type string).

Where clause looks like this:

... Where Cast([Price File] as int) > 0

works fine in SQL Server but not sure what syntax is in VBA . Using Paul Baldy's suggestion to set Select statement as string and do the debug.print to verify that SQL has no goofs ... looks good but not to Access. What is proper syntax?

Feb 2, 2006

Hi there!

I have a question:
Is it possible from a form to have a field (hyperlink - I suppose) where when the user cliks it opens windows prompt (like when you do a "Open" in a word document) and the he/she can select a desired file/folder then click OK (or something) and it puts the exact path to the previously selected file into the field!

Do you get what I mean? Is this possible?

Thank you for your help

Modules & VBA :: Search And Pull Data From Db Stored In A Shared Path

Dec 30, 2014

I have two different database files. One is 2010 ".accdb" format where I have created a form and the inputs to the form is getting saved as records to an access.mdb file in a shared path.Now if the users want to edit the existing record I should allow them to search their previously submitted record with a unique ID number.

I know it is possible when we have both the form and table in the same db. But I want to know whether it is possible to search with a unique ID and pull the data from different db in a shared path using a command button?

Insert Hyperlink Dialog Default File Path

Jan 10, 2007

Hello everyone and happy New year.

Ii have a database running on Access 10.0, I am using the insert hyperlink dialog box (access by Ctrl K) to allow users to insert a hyperlink to a file (could be any sort of file), into a text box.

The problem I have is most of the files are held many directories above where the database is (we have a BAD directory policy, 10's of folders within folders) and it gets a little painful to get the user to go up so many levels, due to the hyperlink dialog opening in the "current folder" view, ie where the db is located.

Simple quest, or so I thought. Can I change the default directory "Current Folder" that the dialog box starts in ?

I have already tried chdir"c:" but to no avail.......not that obvious then...

All help greatfully received...

Any help greatly received......
