Run A Macro In Excel From Inside Access?

Sep 2, 2012

I've been opening comma delimited files in Access, used an Excel function to re-save those files in .xls which Access readily understands, then opening said files and running a query on them to organize them. Now the file needs to go to Excel where it is entered into a worksheet with a certain heading.

Problem is when opening the .xls converted file in Excel, no macros show up. If I open a blank worksheet in Excel my macro shows up. I lowered the security settings to the most basic level in Excel. How do I make the macro show up in the file opened in Excel through the Access VBA, so I can run it?

Call An Excel Macro From Access Module

Dec 7, 2004

I am trying to populate an Excel Shreadsheet (Template in Effect) with Data from Access. This is going ok no problem. Although I need to run an excel macro, which does some formatting to the WorkSheet after each entry in the Access Recordset. I've tried copying the VB over, but getting some errors, and frankly, I think it's easier if I just call the macro itself, rather than try to adapt it for the Access context. Though, I accept it would be a cleaner approach. Can I do this?

Exporting A Table To A Macro-Enabled Excel Workbook?

Apr 5, 2012

I am using Office 2007 and trying to export a table in Access to a Macro-Enabled workbook in Excel. Unfortunately, when I go to export the table, my file does not show when I browse for the file and .xlsm doesn't look like it's a supported file extension. I have looked around and noticed others have this problem as well. One solution was to use save the Excel file as a 97-2000 file since it doesn't change the file extension based on having macros. However, I can't do this because then I lose functionality with tables and other things on my spreadsheet. I need the data in Excel to be updated every month. Is there any way to do this in Access? I'm going to explore using sharepoint. My DB options are limited to Access and Sharepoint. I don't have access to Oracle or SQL Server or MySQL etc.

KeyCode = DisplayHelp(KeyCode, Me.ActiveControl.HelpContextId)
End Sub



module

Function DisplayHelp(KeyCode As Integer, HelpContextId As Integer) As Integer
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Dim rstRecords As DAO.Recordset

If KeyCode = VBKeyF1 Then ' 112 = F1
Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set rstRecords = dbs.OpenRecordset("SELECT tlbHelp.Index, tlbHelp.HelpMessage " & _
"FROM tlbHelp WHERE (((tlbHelp.Index)=" & HelpContextId & "));")

Modules & VBA :: Creating EXE Or BATCH File That Executes Specific Excel Macro?

Is there a way to create some sort of an EXE or BATCH file in any Windows Explorer folder, that executes me a specific Excel Macro?

My problem is that I got several files split up by Departments, updated every day.

So far I have to open each file and update the format.

It would make my life much more easier if I could just run a file that opens each file and applies a format to them.

Run A Function Every Minute While A User Is Inside Of An Access 97 Database?

Aug 19, 2004

I am using a Access database with a frontend/backend design. I want to keep a table in the BE updated with the current list of users inside of the frontend. To do this I thought that I would just have the front end update a time field saying that that user is still inside of the FE. My question is two-fold - firstly, how can I run a function every minute or so to update this table.

Secondly - is there a better way to do this?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Modules & VBA :: How To Access Description Inside Form Error Event

Jul 31, 2013

I'm trying to extract information from Err.Description within a form's Error event. Alas, Err.Description does not seem to be available from there.I have a form that normally displays in DataSheet view. If a trigger on the Oracle back-end raises an error, I want my Access app to be able to parse out Err.Description and deliver a more user-friendly message than ODBC's message. I want to get the info about the message from the error coming back from Oracle, not by matching up error codes.

If I change the form to Single-Form view and put a Save button on it, I can capture Err.Description in the command button's Clicked() event, and then parse out what I need.So if I must display this form in Datasheet view, where can I trap the ODBC error and display my user-friendly message?

Forms :: Form Opening Inside Access Window In Background

Apr 8, 2015

I have three forms:

Form_A (main form for the application - should always be open)
Form_B (always open, but sometimes has visibility set to false)
Form_C (opens from button on Form_B)

When I press the button on Form_B, the only code behind it is DoCmd.OpenForm "Form_C". This seems to hide Form_B, and open Form_C behind Form_A (which is the main form of the application) inside of an Access window.

I would like Form_C to open in front of Form_B. I suspect that I set up the form incorrectly or something when I created it, and it is therefore opening inside an Access window.

Modules & VBA :: Access Textbox And Button Inside Form Of A Frame Of A Webpage

Oct 9, 2013

I am writing a macro to automate the filling up some data from excel to company website. I have changed the website name in this post for data protection purpose. The excel will login for different clients by using the combination of username and password for respective clients and then some data are required to be inserted in a text box on a web page, I think the text box is on a form and form is within an iframe, within the web page. Once the data is inserted into text box, one button (Submit), which is also on the same form, is to be clicked.

On the click of a button, the updated data appears on another section, I could not make out if it is an form or frame, which is under the abovementioned form. Once we are happy with the way data appears on the web page, we have to click another button (Update), which is on the same section, to finally updating the data on website.

I wrote the following code to login to the website and then to navigate to the web page where I have to fill up the performance numbers in a text box. The first problem is how to access the text box inside the form from VBA so that the macro can write a number in that text box and how to access the button to submit the data. The HTML code, which can be seen on click of F12, is attached below. The second problem is how to access the Update button inside the other section, so that the data will be finally uploaded.

Code:

Sub LoginToCorpAccount()
Dim ie As Object
Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")

[code]...

<div id="ssc-consumers-holder"/> -

This the line which gets highlighted when I click on the section where the data appears after clicking the submit button, and from here Update button is to be clicked.

Access Query With Links To Excel / Export To XML And Back Into Excel

Apr 25, 2013

I am using Excel and Access 2010.

I have an excel spreadsheet with 8 tabs. They are all in the same format and column order. They are employees grouped by region. My ultimate goal is to merge all of these onto one excel tab, relatively instantly. I created a master tab and tried doing array formulas and Vlookups, it worked but my spreadsheet was way too slow.

My solution? Import and link them to an Access database, step complete. Create an XML export then import into Excel.

My problem? The only way to update the excel tab with the combined tabs is to save the excel file after changes, go back into Access, re-export to XML, then go back into excel and refresh the data.

My questions, is there any way to automate this process to the point that I can change excel, save, then hit refresh on my excel tab with the XML import to auto-update?

Macro In Access

Dec 3, 2007

Hi,

Task: to extract data from table 1 of a database (tied to form 1) to create a record in another table 2 of the same database (tied to form 2).
Besides, I need to make it simple to use for an end user.
On the form 2 I have a command button that activates macro. Macro makes a query to run and extract data from table 1 and append a table 2.
Now I want the user to see the record on the screen (form 2) that has just been created. For that purpose I add "go to last record" step in the macro.

Problem: that doesn't work. :) For some reason it brings back same record from the middle of the table which is not the last. And what is even more interesting is that it doesn't tie to the record ID on the bottom of the screen (access generated).

Challenge: the record ID field in the table 2 is a primary key auto-numbered field (i know this is not perfect but I am not the one who created the database) and some records have been deleted over time. Might that be connected to that or that is something else?
Thank you!!

MS Access - Project Macro

Oct 7, 2005

I have recently made a database and through MS Development Tools have been able to bundle it with Access Runtime. We are using MSDE as a backend and when I install the 'package' created by MS Project on another computer it says that it cannot find the SQL Server database.

This will mean (i believe) I will have to write a macro to reference the external SQL database (MSDE)?

If anyone has knowledge of this or/ and can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.

MS Access Macro Problem

Jan 5, 2006

I have a MS Access database which requires that a MS Word document be opened via a macro.

In the Macro design view under the Action tab I have the Macro set to RunApp. Then in the Command Line I have:-

C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE11WINWORD.EXE C:Documents and SettingsKnightALDesktopDataBase AssignmentLetterhead.doc

When the macro is run I get an error. It begins to open the Letterhead.doc document. Word begins to open but then a messages saying Word experienced an error trying to open the file. With as few suggestions on what to try none of which make any difference.

If I change the Command Line to read:-
C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOFFICE11WINWORD.EXE
Then all is well and a blank Word document opens.

I have tried quite a number of variants in the command line but all give me no joy at all. So can any one tell me please what it is I am doing wrong here. I can even get the macro to open my Spyware program but cannot get a Word document to do its thing.
I have put copies of the document in all sorts of places but still it cannot be detected.
