Hello all,
I created a table and linked a pdf file to one of the fields, but when I created a form to display the table contacts, I could not see the attachment or icon or any reference to the linked object. The field in my access table is an OLE object.
Thanks for helping out.
Folks,

I get a run-time error 3012 telling me that an object 'tblLanguage' is already present.which iam failing to track. Any ideas Please??
Here is my linking code.

Dim dbName As String
dbName = "my_ExternalDatabase"
sThatTblpath = ";Database=" & db_Path & "" & dbName
For Each tbl In CurrentDb.TableDefs
sTableName = tbl.Name
Set tbl = CurrentDb.CreateTableDef(sTableName)
tbl.Connect = sThatTblpath
tbl.SourceTableName = sTableName
CurrentDb.TableDefs.Append tbl
Next tbl
End Sub
Hello,
The current database I am working on I made it by copying the one I was working on originally. I just realized on the VB window that there is still some relation between them. Because, if I look at the tree on the left of the code window I see it says "GCB (miniGCB)", being GCB the one I copied, and miniGCB the one I am working with.
How can I get rid of the link with GCB?? I want the tree to just say "miniGCB".
Thanks,
I have packaged an Access DB (Split) as a run time solution so I can distribute to users without Access.
When I install it on a PC it runs.
If I move the back end to a network, the solution can't find the back end because it has been moved.
Access run time does not include the linked table manager in the toolbar.
Is there code in VBA where I can refresh the link between front and back end.
Ideally I want to write an error handler that will call a sub to prompt the user for the new location of the back end if it has been moved. Then have the user browse to the network location and click on the back end and store that location as a string. Using that string refresh the links.
Any ideas on that?
Hi all,
I have added about 15 links on a form, linking to word and excel documents. The word documents open fine but all of my excel documents pop up with a messae saying the file cannot be open, yet when i just go to the document on my hard drive they all open fine...does anyone have any ideas please. Thanks
Hi,
I'm new to this so please go easy!
I have an excel document which automatically refreshes data gathered from an access db.
I need to put a button on the switchboard on the same db to open the excel document, basically to make it easy for others to find.
I have tried hyperlinks but it doesn't want to play. It locks the db and then won't refresh the information.
I know i'm missing something blindingly obvious, can someone help?!
:confused:
Thanks

Hi Forum,
I'm building a db to track computer and user problems for work, where I double as a Client Support Administrator (IT Guy).
I have these tables: (simplified list)
tblComputers
tblPeople
tblCompAssignment
tblProblems
I'm at a loss as to how to link the 'Problems' table. This is where I'll record trouble tickets reported by users.
Incoming trouble tickets could relate to the Computer or to the User's Network Login.
I thought I might have a field in the problems table for UserName and also one for ComputerID, but this seems problematic. Anyone got any ideas?
I am trying to link to a url from a message box with difficulty.
eg the user opens the form and a message box appears asking have the latest datasets been downloaded? If answered yes the form opens, if no links to web address.
has anybody any examples.
Thanks

Does anyone know how to link tables automatically/VBA?
I'm trying to import files from our DB2 database in which one file is created monthly and instead of manually importing / linking the files manually, I'm looking to have access link to the new file automatically.
The file names are structured as so..

Hi All
I enter data in a form "WIP" that is based on a table named "WIP" in the form I have a command button. When I activate the command button it takes me into another form "Materials" which is based on a table named "Materials".
The data that I enter into "Materials" is not linked to the data ie Customer details which I have entered into "WIP".
My aim is to be able to report the materials used.
I have tried variations of relationships but am obviously missing something.
Thanks in Advance

I have a FE database that on initial setup the user will enter the drive letter of the mapped location where the BE resides. The FE will then update all the linked tables to that path. This should work but for some reason the FE locks up (stops responding) when I test this. Any suggestions as to why. It doesn't stop responding until this part of the code:
tdf.Refreshlink
I have looked and it does change the link path, but it locks up.
Dim dbs As DAO.database
Dim dataPath As String
Dim tdf As DAO.TableDef
dataPath = Me.drive & ":IMP1_R2.2_be.mdb"
For Each tdf In dbs.TableDefs
'Not a MSys type table
'If the table has a connect string, it's a linked table.
If Len(tdf.Connect) > 0 Then
If InStr(tdf.name, "MSys") = 0 Then
tdf.Connect = ";DATABASE=" & dataPath
End If
err = 0
On Error Resume Next
tdf.RefreshLink
End If
Next tdf
DoCmd.Echo True, "Done"

because it is difficult to add 4000 pictures i want to know
if is it possible to add a field that opens an ie page in google images to show results of images for that car?
ex :
model : Ferrari
foto link :http://images.google.com.gr/images?hl=el&lr=&q=Ferrari&btnG=%CE%91%CE%BD%CE%B1%CE%B6%CE%AE%CF%84%CE%B7%CF %83%CE%B7
Is there a way of formulating a link criteria on opening
a form whereby the link on the form is a file on disk
which has the same ID minus the .jpg.
So instead of this
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "frmImage"
stLinkCriteria = "[ProductID]=" & "'" & Me![txtProductID] & "'"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName
the Me![txtProductID] will be the jpg file on disk minus the extension
of course
If the ProductID is not = JpgID then the form doesn't open.
I need somehow to test for the existence of the file itself.
Do hope I have been clear enough
Look forward to some suggestions
Hy
This is maybe a question that has been asked a million times.
Can anyone explain me how you can link to textboxes in a access form.
I'm making a form that input info. When a user selects a number in the first textbox I want that in het second text box the info of that number is showed automatically. Those two (number and info) are in the same table.
And is this possible without using visual basic for applications?
Thx
Hi there, I am new to access and this question be a no brainer for you access gurus. What I currently have is a form with one combo box and two radio buttons.
Staff and Status
The staff combo box is a drop down menu of all staff members and is derived from a table called Employees. The two radio buttons represent "Active" and "Inactive".
So if John Smith is selected their current status will be shown on the radio button and the user can change it if they want to.
The problem I am having is linking the radio button to a name in the combo box. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks
I have a main form (parents and their grant applications) and a subform (children). The information for each is stored in three seperate tables. The parents and children are linked in the relationships via ParentID (one to many). The parents are linked to the applications via ApplicationID.
I have a query which links parents and applications, this query is the recordsource for the main form. The subform is a query of just the children table. The problem I am having is that the subform doesnt seem to be linking to the main form. When I add the details of a new parent/application the ParentID doesnt automatically show on the subform. And I get 'automation object' errors.
I need to create a cmd button that lets a user attach a file to record.
I would like it to open a msg box that lets the user select the file to be linked to that record. Please help. Thanks.
Mornin, all...
I have several forms, all tied to the same table. The PK for the table is ObjectID (an auto number field). The reason for so many forms tied to the one table is, I'm using them as "wizards" to explain the types of information and give some examples. So, on Form 1, I have the PK and Description (a memo field). On Form 2, I have the PK and Objectives (a memo field), etc. I want to be able to click a button on Form 1 which will close Form 1 and take me to Form 2, same record (creating a new record with the same ObjectID). However, Form 2 continues to create a new record in the table.
Can someone help me with this, please.
Thanx so much ;<)
I am trying to link a Progress table into Access. However, the Progress database table has 41 indexes. I have even tried to import and get the same error - Too many indexes - . Is there a way to get around this? Currently I am importing to Excel then linking Excel to Access. The table is time sensitive so a live link is the best. Any ideas? Thanks
View 2 Replies View RelatedI need help with changing data source/which database my Access application connects to.
We got this application from overseas,it is a Access front with an SQL db, I have restored the database, so we have the database, however as soon as I click to do anything in the program I get an error because I need to change the database it looks for.
I was told to open the application and go Tools-Database Utility Manager and Linked Table Manager and get all the tables and select the tick box to "Prompt for a new location" however I have no tables to be selected once I open Linked Table Manager.
I have never done this before, if this sounds familiar to anybody I would appreciate any help.
Thanks all
