Modules & VBA :: Determine Day And Location Of Shift

Oct 1, 2013

I need a module but haven't got the foggiest on where to start. I have a query that works out whether a staff member has done a sleep in based on their clocking out time (TIME OUT). I also have a column for DAY IN which it stores the day they logged in and HOUSE which indicates which house they clocked in at. What I want to do is determine whether each 'sleep in' is a weekday or weekend shift and at which house. We have different rates of pay based on the houses and whether it is weekend or not.

Modules & VBA :: Daily File Import Timestamp Shift

Mar 17, 2014

I have a daily file to import. If I hard code the entire file name my code works. My problem is getting around the daily name change of the file.The owner has an automated process that creates the file so the name every day is slightly different due to the timestamp. Here's an example

Today's file is "mydailyfile_20140317_1035.xls"
Tomorrow will be "mydailyfile_20140318_1033.xls"

I can account for date using "sFileDate = Format(Now(), "yyyymmdd")".The hour/minutes is never the same.is there a wildcard solution??

Modules & VBA :: Determine Year From Month Count?

Jun 16, 2014

I have a table that has a field for month represented by a number. I would like to report by month but group by year. The report would group months 1-12 into year 1, months 13-24 into year 2, months 25-36 into year3, etc..... up to possible 20 years. Is there an easy way to identify and group the year? I was thinking of adding another column to the table and when I write the values to it include a year. I would rather do it some other way as the data is spilt and would require a lot of table modifications to distributed db. It would be easier to do it with a query or some code in the front end.

Modules & VBA :: Determine If Item From Listbox Is Selected

Jun 12, 2014

I am having trouble with a If statement. I am trying to save a record into a table when an item is Selected (highlighted blue) in a list box. Keep in mind that my listbox is set to multiple selections. I have the following code but sometimes it works and sometimes it doest.

The reason why I am trying to get this to work is because when a item is selected I will add it to the table and when an item is deselected I will delete it from a table. See my code and pictures I have attached :

Private Sub list_audits_Click()
Dim strsql As String
Dim list As String
Dim id As String
id = Me.User_ID.Value

Modules & VBA :: Using Two Combo Boxes To Determine Value For A Textbox

Sep 17, 2013

I have a form designed to update content on a website. I'm trying to work out how to populate fields with entries from past dates.

I have set up two combo boxes for each 'spot' on the site, one for date: Feature_1_Date and one for which content spot the content was occupying Feature_1_Spot.

The idea being that these boxes would read the row from my table to find the date, and the column to find which spot the content did occupy to copy the same content into a field Feature_1_Content

From what I can gather I need to use DLOOKUP (I'm very familiar with VLOOKUP on excel) but I'm doing something very wrong as can't get it to show any content.

Modules & VBA :: Determine Which Printer Was Selected From The Print Dialog

Feb 10, 2015

This for an app being used in Access 2003. I'm trying to (sort of) automate naming a PDF report. After the user selects a printer from the print dialog, if the printer name is like "*PDF*" then I want to put the PDF file name in the clipboard so it can be quickly pasted in the file name of the PDF printer's save dialog.

Something like this:

Code:
Dim strSelectedPrinter as string
DoCmd.OpenReport "rpt1", acViewPreview
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdPrint

[Code]....

but that returns the name of the default printer, not the selected printer.

Modules & VBA :: Using Form Control Value To Determine Query Criteria

Jan 26, 2014

I'm working on a report called Open Orders and when the database loads, it takes you to a Navigation Form. You make some selections mostly from combo boxes, then click run report which runs a query then launches the report.

I want the user to be able to click a check box called "Ready Only". If the checkbox = True, then I would like the field "Ready Pieces" in the query to have the criteria ">0". If the checkbox = false, I want that field to show all values (*).

I have no problem setting the criteria of a query field to equal that of a combo box value (Warehouse Like ([Forms]![Process Form]![Warehouse] & "*") but have problems when the criteria isn't the exact same as the value of the control.

Things I have tried to no avail: Putting a Iif statement in the query criteria: gives an error that criteria is too complex Creating an invisible text box whose value is determined by the checkbox to ">0" or "" then basing the Ready Pieces criteria equal to this....doesn't work Trying to use the DoCmd.RunSQL with my SQL code that changes via VBA when the checkbox is changed...Get an error and the SQL doesn't run

Modules & VBA :: Matching Individual Then Determine If Conflicting Date

Oct 2, 2014

I have a database with two tables. One with a schedule that lists all of the events with the person assigned to, with there start date and end date in separate columns.

My second table lists a persons leave. So I have there name and the start and end date of their leave in separate columns.

Is there a form/query I can create using VBA that will allow me to filter out all the criteria that has the same name and then a date that conflicts between the event date and the leave date.

for example,

If Name(in table 1 ) = Name (in table 2)

(if false stop)

AND,

If StartDate (from table 1) and EndDate (from table1) conflicts with StartDate (from table 2)and EndDate (from Table 2)

(if false stop)

If true I want either the query to register it OR have a form appear to show the conflicting entries.

Modules & VBA :: Use Text Box Change Event To Determine Form Format

Sep 23, 2013

Had a combobox so the user could choose between two data entry formats.They don't want the combobox, they want the user to enter data into one or the other textbox - and that choice to trigger the format.Two groups of text box - group 1 has a single text box - group 2 has three text box. When the user selects a text box and types the first character into it. This triggers locking out the other group choice and enables the <Validate and Edit> command button.

If the user backs out (deletes) the text in a text box.It basically makes both groups available again and it disables the <Validate and Edit> command button.Basically, if the text box Change event counts a character, it changes the text box Tag to "Bust". Then it calls a common routine that checks both text boxes.The choice won't take place if the textbox gets focus. It changes if a text box has 1 or more character typed in.

Code:
Sub WhosOnFirst()
' two groups of Required field - if one textbox in a group has a character entered first
' that group becomes the Format - enables the <Validate and Accept> button that will take the next setp

Modules & VBA :: Treeview Feature - Determine Exact String Width (in Pixels)

Dec 12, 2014

I am working with the Access Treeview feature and I'd like to align the different elements in my nodes exactly below each other.

Therefore I need exact distances (if string is longer then XY, cut short, if shorter, extend to XY).

Of course I cannot work with len() and fill with spaces because letters have different widths.

Is there a way to determine the exact width of a string? e.g. in pixels?

Modules & VBA :: Determine File Format Without Opening Database (Using Access 2007)

Jul 15, 2014

Using Access 2007, can I return a value for CurrentProject.FileFormat WITHOUT opening the database?

I'm looking for a way to determine the file version of a given Access database without actually "opening" the database in Access (I don't want it to ever be visible at all or in any way).

So to open a database in Access 2007 "without opening it," I'm using:

Code:
Dim db As DAO.Database
Set db = DBEngine.Workspaces(0).OpenDatabase("C:Path-ToFile.accdb")

From here, there are at least two different "version" indicators that can be used, as in this example:

Code:
Debug.Print db.Properties("Version").Value
Debug.Print db.Properties("AccessVersion").Value

Now, if you run this code on an Access 2002/2003 .MDB file, you will get:

Code:
4.0
09.50

If you run this code on an Access 2007 .ACCDB file, you get:

Code:
12.0
09.50

Note two important factors:The db.Properties("Version") seems to be returning the JET version from what I can see in research. This is NOT what I'm after.

The db.Properties("AccessVersion") returns THE SAME VALUE for an '07 ACCDB as it does for an '02-'03 MDB, since Microsoft never updated it, apparently.

Now.... the one way that I have found that ACCURATELY describes the version of a given access database file is to use:

Code:
Debug.Print CurrentProject.FileFormat

...as this will always return, for example, 2.0 for an Access 2.0 .MDB file; 10 for an Access 2002/03 .MDB file; and 12 for and Access 2007 .ACCDB file (and there are others; these are AcFileFormat bitmask constants as described in Access support).

BUT, this CurrentProject object doesn't seem to be available (so far as I can see) when using the "open without opening" method described above.

SO, is there any way to return the FileFormat value without opening the database visibly? (Merely basing it in the extension isn't right either.... that would be easy but not accurate as several formats use MDB.

Modules & VBA :: Set Filename / Location In Save As Dialog

May 7, 2015

The code below sets my printer to "Cute PDF writer" and then opens a report in print view, which creates a PDF version of my report. So far so good. But just before the last step, it brings up the Save As dialog box, asking for a filename and location.

Three points are important:I always want to call the PDF document "Specialty Report".I always want to save it to C:Documents and Settings80435 Desktop. I always want to overwrite the previous version.

Is there some code I can insert that would achieve this automatically with no further user interaction i.e. user clicks a button and the PDF file is created/overwritten?

Code:

'Produce the report
Dim defPrinter As String, NewPrinter As Printer
defPrinter = Application.Printer.DeviceName 'Get the default printer name
Set NewPrinter = Application.Printers("CutePDF Writer") 'Create a new printer object
Set Application.Printer = NewPrinter 'Set the default printer to the new printer
DoCmd.OpenReport "Specialty Report", acViewPrint 'Open the report in print view (which will PDF it)
Set NewPrinter = Application.Printers(defPrinter) 'Reset the printer back to the default printer

Modules & VBA :: Opening File Based On Directory Location

Feb 15, 2015

When creating an incoming inspection database, I want to set it up so when I am in a form to add data, I want to have a command button where I can pull up the associated CAD drawing based on part number and drawing number. I would like to enter the directory location into a table so I could change it if I need to.

So basically I want to go something like this:

.tblDirctoryLocation
txtDirectory

.tblProduct
txtProductName
txtProductNumber
txtProductCADNo

These tables would not be related to one another as there will only be one record for the directory location and multiple records for products.

Somehow I want the db to assemble file location like this:

“EQuality_DirectoryIncoming” & “ProductNumber_” & “CADDrawing” & “.pdf”
End result: EQuality_DirectoryIncomingProductNumber_CADDraw ing.pdf

Is there any way this could be done?

Modules & VBA :: Updating Records Based On File Location

Mar 3, 2015

I have created a database that tracks the locations of all the faxes we receive in a day. We have a dedicated employee that enters them into the database as well as who they are assigned to and other pertinent information. At the end of the day, I monitor the network folders where the faxes are saved to change the status of the fax in the database to done, still needs processing, or awaiting approval. Is there any way that I could set up some VBA that would automatically update the status column for the record based on the location of the file? The file name is recorded in the database so then if it sees that that file is in the end folder it could automatically update the status to finished.

The response I got on another forum is as follows:

-The impression I'm getting is that you've got a database of information over here.
-And it lists the file name, but not location.
-And then you have a physical folder structure with the fax files in it.
-And there are folders for done, awaiting approval, or processing.
-So what you're looking for is something to read those folders and update the status column based on which folder it is in?
-So at the start of the day we have:

New
-Fax1.tiff
-Fax2.tiff
-Fax3.tiff
-Fax4.tiff
Finished
-
In progress
-

And at the end of the day the folders look like this:
New
-Fax1.tiff
Finished
-Fax3.tiff
-Fax4.tiff
In progress
-Fax2.tiff

And you want your code to browse those folders, and update the status of each filename based on it's folder?If the filenames are unique, you can just use VBA to open the folder, create an array of the files and then set the status. Create two separate functions, one for in progress, one for completed and call them one after the other. There'd be no need to check the current status, but you could store the wrong status if a file is duplicated, or a filename repeated.
