Iīm thinking of starting to use office XP for a small system I have. My question is:
Is office XP more compatible with internet explorer in terms of VBA automating? I have had to work around internet explorer quite a lot in office 97, and I havenīt been able to do what I want.
Fuga.
There is an online form which we need to fill out for each of our inventory units. This form has several dozen fields though. We have to fill each one out for every unit that we ship (which is about a hundred a day).
But the good news is, about 25 of these 30 fields are always filled in with the same value (our name, address, city, state, zip, insurance, insurance no, carrier, carrier no, etc).
What we want is a way to fill out these fields for us automatically, and all we have to do is type in the remaining 5 fields ourselves.
My temporary solution was to create a form with 5 fields and a Submit button. Then using AppActivate "Inventory Adjustment - Microsoft Internet Explorer", we would use the SendKeys function and virtually "type" in the 5 variable values and the 25 other "hardcoded" values, using the Tab key to move in between fields.
However, we have encountered some issues using SendKeys. For one, the cursor doesn't always start in the correct place, and the fields become horribly offset and skewed. Also we notice that sometimes the cursor moves "too fast" apparently and skips pasting some of the values (an issue we tried to resolve by using "wait" commands, but it didn't help consistently enough).
Is there a better way to use Visual Basic to fill in fields in an Internet Explorer window? :(
Hello...
I created a button that opens a link to a URL and copies information from a record to the clipboard to paste on this webpage.
The users are not using it correctly (they need to close the page each time they need to do the next record).
what i want to do is to close ALL IExplore windows via access if there are any open then open the URL again. Sounds pointless but we have to close it because of security.
Thanks.
We have a webpage hyperlink to a network drive that contains a database...but this particular database doesnt open. It shows Access running under process in Task Managerk, but the application doesnt show up as running. Our other databases open fine...for some reason this particular one refuses. I get a message when opening the link that the publisher could not be verified. It almost seems like a security issue with Internet Explorer. I've lowered all security to the lowest levels and enabled everything. These links are only accessed from within the company. Any ideas would be great. Thanks, Jeff

Here is where I am stuck, if the blue link appears, I get an error that the object is not set, if I move my cursor up one row (For Each htmlInput) it will continue without error. How do I get IE to give the error message a chance to load before checking it out?

Hello everybody, it's been a while since i wrote on the forums and yet again I am in the need to ask for the help of this wonderful community.
I have a form on which is a button that I want when pressed to open a Windows Explorer window displaying the contents of a directory.
The exact way that I want this thing to work is like this : The user is browsing a form of lets say client details and on the form lies the button that when pressed will take the client's name and apply it to the path in order to open that Windows Explorer window and create a path like C:program filesclient name and display the contents of that window.
I would like if possible someone who can point me as to how I can construct this button to work cause I cant see to get it done.
Many thanks for your time :)
All of the sudden I get an error message when I try to open my database from a file rather than through Access. If I open Access first and open the file that way, there is no problem but if I click on it from Windows Explorer, I get the error.
See picture.
I'm a newbie and using Access 2007.
I have added functionality that creates a report, saves it as a PDF, and then sends it to a customer via email as an attachment. The PDF file is saved to a folder and is named to include the Customer's unique customer number and the date and time the PDF was created.
For example, if the customer number is 09 and the date was 10th October 2013 and the time 09.00am, the file name is 0009101020130900.pdf.
What I want to be able to do from within the database is to have a button, that when clicked, will display all of the Pdf's for only customer number 09. The customer number will be based upon a field in the customer record.

The treeview working for browsing specific directory, but i need to enhance it to allow to copy files and folders in that directory.I use MS ACCESS 2010 and not very proficient in programming.
I have created an access database for work. Due to the size(70MB) of the database our internal network appears to have difficulty executing any queries or has long delays. I dont think the size is the issue, however I am now looking for ways to place on "internet" page but only want users to run the reports off control buttons /macros of the forms view not see the tables or query design. Any suggestions of best to approach this, Also any input about "project" or "ADP" woud, be very useful, thanks Andy

Please let me know.
I am looking for a registry setting or .reg file to rightclick on an Access file and in the menu i want to compact or decompile the access file.
I know it is possible but i don't know what's the registry setting.
I would like to know if Access can pull data and information from specific websites automatically without me having to enter the data myself each day.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI currently utilize my company's LAN structure to run my Access database from. The LAN structure is abhorrently slow. So slow that often the database crashes upon opening or can take many minutes to complete a menial command.
I realize that connecting my database to the internet would be a better solution (as our internet connection seems to work better). This would allow many users to interact with the database more easily as well. I also realize that SharePoint is the standard method of connecting the database either by linking tables or publishing the database itself. However, my company does not have SharePoint and I am tired of battling with them on obtaining it.
Is there another way to connect/link Access tables to the internet without SharePoint? One that is FREE. I know with Access 2003 you could connect Access to an HTML webpage, but I think Microsoft got rid of that functionality with 2010 and beyond to force users into utilizing SharePoint.

I have used the tree control to acomplish this but the major drawback I have found is it becomes WAY too slow when utilizing large amounts of data due to many embeded loops. Does anyone know an alternative or a way to program the tree control to only add nodes once a selection is expanded?
Basically I want this to operate as a drilldown of infinate levels with the speed of windows explorer. Unfortunatly all the code I have seen requires that all nodes are designated/Created when the form is loaded.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated
I have a database which is being used for maintaining documents status. Its working fine in stand alone PC. I want to share it on internet. But problem is, I can upload the complete file, then download and use. Its not updated.
So is there any way to upload this db onto internet and work there only the way we do in single PC?
Hey, I am currently designing a database for my group of friends. Things such as ,Name, Age, Musical Instrument, Band (of which they play in), Favourite Band etc. would be in there indefinately.Its not a complex Db and so I was hoping to put it on my website but dont know how i would do this...I would like it to be on the internet as if you were just looking at it on your own computer and webmaster could edit any fields after it is finished. Is there anyway of doing this? If yes is there any way of doing this without the viewer having to download the Db?
Regards, Tommo
Does anyone know what's the best way to send a mdb file via the internet. I've tried sending is as an email attachment and putting is on a webserver for downloading. Both wayes only gives errors.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an Access 2002 database (about 120mb) which was replicated using Replication Manager (version unknown). It is set up to use Internet Synchronization. We use it on state government LAN and WAN as well as the Internet. It works well in most cases, but on a few computers we get the error "Http address not found" when synchronization is attempted. The address is indeed visible to those computers. We have determined that reloading Windows (XP Pro) will usually solve the problem at least for a while but when GIS mapping software is installed it reappears. More worrisome is that some brand new laptops with factory-installed Windows are showing the same problem, which means it could get worse as we upgrade equipment.
Has anyone else encountered this error?
