I have a form titled 'New/Edit/Search Contractor Employee" that provides controls to fields within a table titled "Contractors". In this table, I have a Hyperlink field that will store the location of the files related to individual employees. On this form, I have a Control that (at the moment) the user can copy a Hyperlink and enter into this, to populate the field. This will then allow the user to click on this Hyperlink to open up the individual folder location to drag and drop whatever files they want associated to this individual record.
I have created a Command Button to automatically create a unique folder for this record, VBA below:
Private Sub Command168_Click()
strPath = "V:IntProdTrans&OpsTERMINALSDriver and Contractor Database 2014ContIndPW" & "" & txtCompanyID
If Len(Dir(strPath, vbDirectory)) = 0 Then
MkDir strPath
End If
strPath = "V:IntProdTrans&OpsTERMINALSDriver and Contractor Database 2014ContIndPW" & "" & txtCompanyID & "" & txtFirstName & " " & txtLastName
If Len(Dir(strPath, vbDirectory)) = 0 Then
MkDir strPath
End If
End Sub
What I'm trying to work out now is how to automatically enter this new folder location into the Control, which is then viewable and can be clicked on. I managed to do this (can't for the life of me remember how) but it entered the location as text and I wasn't able to click.
The Hyperlink control is titled 'Induction Paperwork' relates to a Hyperlink field.
How does Access relate a label to a control?
We can delete the label, and then re-'attach' it, but there seems to be no visible property that retains this information - in either the label or the control (only done the detailed comparison for text box so far.
The reason for this is to be able to export enough data to recreate an Access form in html, and I need a label value if it exists. (And for most controls, of course, it does!)
i have thousands of data records with hyperlinks that are correct. Each data record shows the actual link (google.com, foxnews.com, espn.com, etc.). However, i want to change all of the records to just say "link" instead of saying espn.com, etc. How can i do this automatically without having to manually right click, edit, and changing the text to display?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have n horizontal labels named Label_1 to Label_n. I'd like to assign values to the label captions by using a loop.
Something like:
For i = 1 To n
Set Label_i.Caption = i
End
However, this doesn't work. Message "Object required".
Any suggestions?
I added a new field to one of my tables and query, but when I try to add a control for that field into my form it is not recognising it and the field isn't appearing in the sources for the form, even though the table is sourced to the form? Or am I going to have to do the usual and redo the entire form because I made a minor adjustment?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form with a tab control, inside the tab control I placed an ActiveX control (Microsoft Web Browser). These are at the bottom of the form.
Everything displays fine if the entire form fit on the screen but if the form is too long and I scroll down the browser control is getting obscured by the tab control and getting chopped off (the contents are covered). It is as if the browser control is staying in space where it was and moving behind the tab control as I scroll.
This problem does not occur if I place the browser control directly on the form. Also I note that the browser control is sitting correctly within the tab control.
I have been through all the settings and properties of both controls and haven't been able to fix it. I searched all over the web but no one has previously stumbled across this one by the look of it.
See the attached image ...
I have table that I had to add a new field to which we update with a form. I tried to add a control for the new field but the field does not show up in the list for the control source. I am trying to add a list box to the form with a blank and 5 options.
I have attached screen shots of the table design and the form. The table has the field in datasheet view and I have manually entered a few entries in it but it still will not show in the control source for the form control. The top section of the form is where we enter and select the data for the new records. The bottom section (circled in red) autofills the matching record, from separate tables, for updating with the new entries.
I have added form controls for modified fields in the past so I am confused about why this is happening.
I have created a very simple code to fill automaticly an hyperlink field when a text box is updated on a form:
Me.txtHyperlink = "F:DataCPPCPP PDF" & [TxtPipeSize] & "" & [DrawingFile] & "" & [PartNumber] & ".sht" & [TxtSheetNo] & ".Rev" & [TxtRevNo] & ".pdf"
TxtHyperlink is bound to the hyperlink field, when the code is executed the Hyperlink field is filled with the right address. but I think the code just fill the text to display "parameter" of the hyperlink field and not the actual adddress.
what should I do to get the result of the function to be saved as the Hyperlink address?
Hey guys.
I am VERY new to Access, and trying to learn as fast as I can, but I have no idea how to do this.
I have a database, brand new, it will eventually be holding hundreds of docs. Anyway, we have it as a document naming machine. We insert all the data associated with our document, it stores it and gives us a name for the doc, we then save that doc as a pdf with the name given.
After this, we are going to put all the documents in one central folder on our network drive, as follows:
F:FolderAccessDocuments*.pdf
So, what I need is to create an automative hyperlink creater, that will take our document name once created, put it on the end of the "F:FolderAccessDocuments" and have the hyperlink sitting there ready to go.
One more thing, I need to be able to change my Initial Drive Directory (from "F" to "E") at any point in time, and the switch would have to go through and change every hyperlink.
If anyone can help with any part of this problem, I would appericiate it.
Thanks Guys!

Hi
is it possible to have a txt field which will contain an email address and once you input teh address it becomes a hyperlink, so you can just click it and send an email from outlook?

I have a Hyperlink field (can be a text field if necessary) that is intended to open the document listed in the field. I have all of these documents stored on a server and I have set up another field that contains the path to the server directory. So, at the time I click on the document link, I want to concatenate the path with the document name, so I can open the file. This will enable me to not have to type the full path everytime I enter a new document name.
I tried setting up the field as a text field and I can concatenate the path and document name, but then I cannot open the file. I want to be able to pass the concatenated variable to the Windows OS and have it launch the document, regardless of the file type.
Any thoughts?
I have been searching the forums and all I could find was how to hyperlink to outside url such as www.google.com and likewise.
I am looking for some kind of code or a direction that will help me hyperlink between records in my form.. best method probably would be using an ID number.
Any ideas?
Hello. New to this, but am creating a hyperlink in a new form. Using Edit Hyperlink, I direct the program to open a PDF format file. All seems fine, the path is relative to the main file, (although it does display %20 between all separate words, why?), but when I click on it, the warning :
"No prgram is registered to open this file". This file itself is fine, and opens happily when dble clicked. The hyperlink works fine when opening a Doc file. Help as I need this working...
I want to have a hyperlink on my form, that when clicked it will open a specified webpage. It will be the same hyperlink every time so doesn't need to be stored in the database.
How do I do this?
I have an unbound field txtMyField which I want to fill with a hyperlink after entering data in another field. So I put the Is Hyperlink setting to yes, and some code to populate the field. But I cannot click the link. It is just like text.
How can I amend this so that it is clickable?
Thanks,
Dave
I am about to be tasked to redesign a database which is a total dogs dinner.
Everything is wrong basically
I can handle that but there are also some 11000 hyperlinks
Some are relative and some have full path specified, However all have display text.
Is there a way that I can access the specified path and dump this into a text field.
Thought is to create text field alongside the hyperlink field, dump the text value of the hyperlink and I can then manipulate the hyperlink text as I wish.
Is there a function like
Hyperlink_Field.Path
so in an update query I could update the text field to Hyperlink_Field.Path

I have a form with a Command button. i have a text box also which is
bound to my
Button. i have created a standard module and created an onclick event
for my button
which is something like this ( if a user clicks on the button it will
give an option
to user to add a file. The Path of that file will be copied to the
textbox which is associated
to my control or button.) i changed the data type also for my textbox
to
Hyperlink so then
when a user clicks on that path which is in the textbox it will
automatically open that document. Well for
some reason it is not working. any
help or suggestions will be really appreciated.
Thanks
Morning everyone,
I have a really persistant problem with my database whereby whenever I click on a hyperlink (in the database) to a Jpeg file it will display an error message, "unknown file format" then open the file as normal. The access windows then crash.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so doe anyone have a solution or a way round it!?
Any help much appreciated, have a good day :)

Hello - thanks in advance.
I have buttons that link to external WORD and EXCEL files with the hyperlink property. I also use the Application.FollowHyperlink method to open some files.
I find that files with the .txt extension produce a pop up warning, that hyperlinks are potentially unsafe, do I really want to open the file.
If I click YES then the file opens.
It is not consistant. .xls files open without the warning, but .csv files do produce the warning, even though both open in Excel.
I've set the macro-->security option to LOW.
I want to get rid of those warnings if I can.
I've tried docmd.setwarnings false also.
Any idea?
Hi, I think this is only my second post (found i have made a few, lol) in over a year because I can usually find what im after on this site or I just hack stuff together till it works, lol.Anyway my question:How can I download a hyperlink (its an excel spreadsheet, CSV file to be exact i believe) to a certain place and name?I wish to do this roughly once a day for about 10-14 files. then these will be imported to the database. but first thing will be a fairly automated downloader if possible.any third party software will be fine but id rather have access do it with a code behind a button etc. Thankyou for any/all suggestions.
View 14 Replies View RelatedSorry if this is a basic stupid question but I am new to access and developing a database for my company while I learn access from a book. I am using hyperlink in a table to allow quick access to job folders on our network, but everytime I click the hyperlink it uses windows explorer to open the folder and I would like to avoid this by having the folder opened in a new window, by its self. Windows Explorer opens the door too many mistakes happening so I want my user to see the folder they need to and that is all. I hope that explains it well enough. I greatly appreciate any help.

Is there any way to edit the hyperlink field in my table, I'm thinking along the lines of an update query?
The database has thousands of records and the user has not typed any text into the 'Display Text' part of the hyperlink. This means that the stored hyperlink is double size because if no text is entered into the display text part then access uses the hyperlink string. This is a problem for me later on in the design.
I have tried a simple update query and this updates the display text as required but also loses the hyperlink itself, which I want to remain unchanged.
Any ideas?
