Link To Pdf File Within Access
Jul 21, 2006Hello..
Here is what I would like to do. I have a folder say with 100 pdf's. What I would like to do is from an access folder be able to point to the specific pdf and have it create a link within the access form to the pdf they point to... Does this make sense?
Is there a way from within an access form that you can have a button that lets the end user look in a folder and select the pdf... and then create and store the link in an access form???
Thanks

Link To A File Or Folder From An Access Form
Jan 12, 2006Hi Di Hi
I am new to Microsoft Access and have a little problem. I have searched the forum and nearly found the fix but I didnt quite understand what to do, so im creating a new thread.
I have a Access Database and have a client page that stores all the information about that client. We produce reports (scanned word/pdf) for each client and we store the report files in a client folder using the Client ID taken from Access.
My question is can I somehow produce a link from the Client Form in Access to the Client Folder or Files in explorer. I have seen the Hyperlink option but that is only availabe in Design View.
Hope someone can help. Thanks in advance,.

Error Link Between Table And Text File
Feb 14, 2014I have a small problem with the following command:
Code:
sTabNam = "TmpTab"
sFilNam = "C:Data.Txt"
DoCmd.TransferText TransferType:=acLinkDelim, TableName:=sTmpTab, FileName:=sFilNam, HasFieldNames:=True
The file C:Data.Txt contains 5 columns, separated by a semicolon with the first line containing the names of the columns. The concern is that when the linked table is created, I get a single column with all fields concatenated value. the following style :
Col1;Col2;Col3; : Column name
Val1;Val2;Val3; : Row value
What does do to have columns separated with the corresponding values?

MS Word Link MS Access Table Data - Avoiding Duplicates
Dec 7, 2007Hi All,
I have an MS Access table that currently links into word as a mail merge. Great!
Sample data as follows:
Tutor Student
Mr A Donald Duck
Mr A Mickey Mouse
Mr A Minnie Mouse
Mrs B Joe Bloggs
I want to produce a mail document that allows me to address each tutor separately, along with the respective student names in a grid.
Now I've setup the document, but when I view each document it produces the list of all students for each tutor.
e.g.
Dear Mr A
Your students are:
Donald Duck
Mickey Mouse
Minnie Mouse
-------------------
Dear Mrs B
Your Students are:
Joe Bloggs
Is this at all possible?
Thanks:)

Link To A File (ie: Pdf, Doc, Etc)
Feb 12, 2008Hi everyone.
I am considering adding a new feature to our customer database. Let's say we recieve a letter from a customer, I'd like to be able to scan the letter into the computer, saved as a PDF (for example) and then, on the customer form, provide a 'browse' button so that we could browse to the file and then the address of the file gets saved as a text field in the relevant table.
Next time someone brings up the details for that customer, the letter would be accessible via a hyperlink to the file.
It sounds relatively straight-forward, but is it?
Thanks

Import / Link Excel File
Apr 22, 2005look for the best method. I have another software to work with my access. End of each month, ProgramA will generate an excel file with the monthly data. I want to import/link it with my access. I first try to import it everytime I generate the new excel file. However, there are one line at the end of the excel file with does not match the feild requirment, and generate an error table in access saying a number field cannot have string.
Then I try the link method instead. This time, it would work at all. The first time is OK, but the next time, I guess more lines are generate than the orginal in the excel file, it could not open up. Number of columns is the same.
The best method right now is to delete the last line of the new generated excel file, however, because I am not the one using it, I want to have a better method for my co-workers.
Are there ways to import excel data except the last line;
or
Are there ways to import excel file without an error table generate
Thanks :)
Link MS Project File To Form
Aug 14, 2006http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/...ad.php?t=97787
I am attempting to add a command button on a form that will allow user to browse files, then select a MS Project file to import, then have it linked to the current record (by a hyperlink or icon of some sort) so that clicking on it will open that MS Project file.
I found the above thread and have imported the modules and the fFindOpenImportFile in order to test in my database. I have made only slight alterations to the code, as I am still a novice w/ VB, but may not have done so correctly. In the Private Sub bImport_Click, I inserted 'tbFile' where sample "C:WindowsWin.ini" had previously been, so that it will import the file already selected from the bBrowse_Click. (If there is a cleaner/better way to do this, I would appreciate any help.)
Here is an exceprt from the code:
Private Sub bImport_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_bImport_Click
Me.tbHidden.SetFocus
If IsNull(tbFile) Or tbFile = "" Then
MsgBox "Please browse and select a valid file to import.", vbCritical, "Invalid File"
Else
If Dir(tbFile) <> "" Then
CurrentDb().Execute "DELETE * FROM tImport"
'FileCopy "C:WINNTWin.ini", "C:WINNTWin.txt"
DoCmd.TransferText acImportDelim, , "tImport", "tbFile", False
MsgBox "Your file has been imported into the Database."
Else
MsgBox "Your computer does not have a C:WindowsWin.ini file so the import example will not work.", vbInformation
End If
End If
Exit_bImport_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_bImport_Click:
MsgBox Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description
Resume Exit_bImport_Click
End Sub
The imported form works great for 'Browse' or 'Open', but when I try 'Import', I get the following error:
2391- Field 'F1' doesn't exist in destination table 'tImport'
I even went back to the sample database and tested the form within the sample, using "win.ini" file and get the same error????:eek:
Of course, when I try it with an actual *.mpp file, I get this error:
31519- You cannot import this file.
...which leads me to believe that even if I fix the first error, I might be on the totally wrong path b/c it's an *.mpp file???:confused:
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Linked CSV File Wont Use Link Specification
Jul 5, 2005Hi there,
Am hoping someone can shine a light on my problem as this has me ripping my hair out.
first off I've set up a subform in my main form to display a query using a linked table as the data(a excel exported csv file). nothing special.
however, I have had to use a link specification to determine how the table is linked. i.e. what fields should be defined as double (as access treats them as integers for some reason even though the numbers are too big!) and which fields need renaming.
without this link specification, the data will not be handled correctly.
ok no problem. I've had this working. The table links fine.
When i came to roll out the database, I set up the security in order that multiple resources can use it at the same time.
Now when I log in and use the form I get the following error.
'Text file specification <filename> does not exist. You cannot import, export or link using the specification'
Arrgh. :confused: I used the specificition to link the table in the first place! I've tried refreshing the link using the Link Manager, I've tried re-linking it and I've also tried linking the table and creating new specifications, all with no luck. I get the same message each time.
My next step is to import the data instead(again I'd need to use a link specification). But I'd really like to solve this as I can see no reason why it shouldnt work.
Can anybody help?

View 5 Replies View RelatedBuild A Link To Another Program? (modify A Text File)
May 6, 2007I have a database that I plan to use to help us manage an old "Remedy" system....
There is a field for "Ticket number"
I want to be able to click a button and have this ticket open in Remedy.
Remedy DOES have a link system. When I creat a link it creates a file like this:
Ticketnumber.ARTask
The contents of the file are simple:
[Shortcut]
Name = NTRS-Trouble
Type = 0
Server = samson
Join = 0
Ticket = NTRS422904
The name of the file seems to be irrelevent.
How can I programatically get the button to re-write the ticketnumber into that file, in that spot (after the letters "NTRS") and then have it open the link? I figure I can keep 1 file in the working directory and just re-write that same file over and over again... I just don't know enough about VB or macros to figure it out.
