View 6 Replies View RelatedModules & VBA :: Find All Files / Folders In A Specific Directory
Sep 1, 2014I'm using a function to find all files/folders in a specific directory, then copy each one to a specific destination folder. I'm going to use this on a weekly basis to backup files on a computer. I would like to use the vbarchive in GetAttr/SetAttr so I only need to copy these if they have changed since last backup.
Something like:
If GetAttr(strFile) And vbArchive = 32 then
filecopy xxxx, xxxx
else
rs.movenext
As I understand it, a value of 32 indicates that the file has been modified since it was last backuped up (i.e. since the file attribute was "reset"). How do I "reset" the file attributes to clear the vbArchive?? I've read some google searches and the only thing I could find was the files were set to vbnormal however I'm concerned that this will erase program files that are vbReadOnly or VbHidden.
Modules & VBA :: Saving Excel Files Through Access In Particular Directory
May 4, 2014I am using Access to save an Excel file in a particular directory. The code was created about 10 years ago and hence saves the file with .xls extension and I would like to save with a .xlsm extension. If I just change the .xls to .xlsm, in the code below, the file is saved but the Compatibility Checker comes up (I would like to stop this) and when the file is reopened I get an error message stating there is a file extension problem and the file won't open.
Code:
strExt = ".xls"
'If .txtFriendlyName <> "" Then
' strDestFileName = .txtFriendlyName
'Else
' strDestFileName = Left(objFile.Name, Len(objFile.Name) - 4) & MakeFilePosfix(Now())

Modules & VBA :: Operate Macro On Multiple Files In A Directory
Jul 21, 2015I have contract notes files in .xls format towards sale of equity shares from the brokerages. I have to do some editing in these files like deleting some rows, adjusting width of columns and inserting date of contract.
a) Contract-A.xls shows original file.
b) Contract-B.xls shows modified file
c) VBA macro code used for deleting rows and modifying column width is shown in modify_contractnotes.xlsm file.
d) Presently I open the file and copy and paste the contents on the macro-enabled workbook sheet . After macro operation I transfer back the contents by copy and paste to a master file(Contract-C.xlsx) and clear the contents in the macro enabled workbook to make it ready for another operation.
e) It is time consuming process for around 60 files per month.
f)After this operation I run RDBMerge add-in to consolidate and normalize all these files in a directory. RDBMerge smoothened out merged cells also.
Is it possible to have a macro-enabled workbook open all the time and the contract files be opened one after other and macro contained in macro enabled workbook by modifying its code suitably operate on these contract files.
Files are attached in modify_contractnotes zipped folder.

View 9 Replies View RelatedModules & VBA :: Code For Querying A List Of Filenames Within Network Directory?
Dec 12, 2013After several days of searching, I haven't been able to find any threads related to this. I'm making a search form that queries a pdf library table. Once a search query is entered, the user is able to open the files from a results form. Currently, I am entering the filenames from the network directory manually into the pdf library table.
For example, I manually enter the following information into the tblPDFLibrary table that contains the fields:
Date added, Filename, File Path, Series, Class, Title.
I was wondering if there's a way to have Access query all the filenames in the directory for me. In other words, if the directory contains the filenames: AccountsPDF, InventoryPDF, CustomerPDF. Can I have Access query all the filenames within the directory and automatically add all the file names (AccountsPDF, InventoryPDF, CustomerPDF) to the Filename field within the tblPDFLibrary table? If I am able to do this, I can code the other fields to populate information because the filename contains all the other field information (except for file path but I can program it insert the UNC path).

TreeView Of Directory
Feb 22, 2006Hi All,
I've been trying to use TreeView control to display my computer's directories and folders just like Windows Explorer does.
Thanks to Popeye for reposting all the Treeview samples (samples posted before the site was hacked). Most or all of these samples, TreeView is used to display data out of tables. Mr. Ghuson posted a great example for browsing directory but it pops up a separate windows for browsing.
Now I'd like to somehow combine the two into one; browsing thru directories and folders using TreeView Control. Yes that I can browse and save all paths and directories to different tables and add them to the TreeView control but I'm trying to stay away from saving data to tables first.
Can this be accomplished? Can Windows Explorer be somehow embeded on an Access form or called? Any ideas, experts out there?
Thanks all in advance.

Need Help Building A Directory.
May 8, 2006I have made an Access database containing contract names and addresses. I need to have each of these contracts linked to another table which shows the allocated engineer for the particular contract. I used a "one 2 many" relationship using a field "LinkID" to do this. Each engineer has a unique "LinkID" in the engineer table but the engineer changes each day. The engineer for each particular day comes via an excel spreadsheet. The way it works at the moment is that the engineer name has to be manually changed each day, and this takes time. I have tried importing a linked excel table which looked like it would work, but was not able to use the linked table in the same "one 2 many" related table format as above.
What i need to do, is find a way for the fields containing the engineer name to be automatically updated somehow, possible by reading the values from the excel sheet.
Anybody know of any way for this to be done?
Thanks, and hope this makes sense got its got me baffled.
*** Edit **** Thinking about it, i could have an imported execl sheet which contains all of the engineers for each day. Would there be a way using a macro, to update the data in the engineers table that is related to the contracts, by overwriting it with the data from the linked spreadsheet?

Please let me know, thanks.
