I have a button on a form that creates an email and inserts fields from my database. I have a field that is set to Long Date format type, but when it populates the email, it shows as a Short Date format type. Is there anyway to retain the Long Date format?
View RepliesWell I have been searching but have not exactly found the answer I need so:
I have a linked table in my database. One of the fields on the source table is a date field but the data type is Text. So there is data in the field that represents dates but they are formatted as text like this:
090506
101106
120506
I need the field data to behave as a date, any ideas? I can't change the source data type.
Then...at some point I want to produce a query that shows all records with a date earlier than the current days date...in pointers in the right direction on that will be appreciated also.
Thanks!
Hi,
I'm using a web based form to store dates (and other records) in an access database. I use the dd/mm/yyyy date format (europe. go figure)
Anyway, the problem is that when submitting an ambiguous date, as in 11/01/2004, access sees it as 01-NOV-2004 rather then 11-JAN-2004, as it should.
Why does this happen, and how can I fix it. I have no problem doing the fixing in the access file itself or in the SQL command that populates it- whatever works best.
Thanks,

We're using Access 2010 on Windows 7.We have a large database design where we send reports as e-mail attachments. We need to change the way the file is automatically created when sent. I goes to snapshot form every time we attach it to an e-mail. How can we get rid of the snapshot .snp file format? How can we change it to pdf or accbd?

I have tried CDate to convert the text to a date/time format, but no luck. Any ideas?
I have a link table that has a field that represents dates - but they are actually just text. It's a long story but the source is not going to change - so I have to try and deal with it. I need it to behave as a date - and am hoping to do this in a query. The data looks like this:
7/24/12
10/08/13
I have tried various things but it does not seem to totally do the trick - if I sort on it it still does not sort as one would expect from an actual date field. How do I do this?
I wanted to assign the field "Number of magazine" with special format based on date/time format but showing only year and month in the format: "yyyy-mm".
So in property of this field in format I put yyyy-mm and in input mask I type 0000-00;;-
I also created the form based on the table containing above field and I defined format and input mask for corresponding formant in the same way like at the table.
But if I try to type date for example 2014-01 in text box of the form it comes up with the full date 2014-01-01. Why does it do like this? What do I do incorrectly?
I have a list of dates in the mm/dd/yyyy format and I am looking to get it into the fiscal format of yyyyww. I am able to do this with the datepart and format functions, but I need to make it so that the fiscal month begins in January but the first week starts if there are three or more days in the week. For instance if Jan 1st is a Friday then this stands as the first fiscal week, if it is a Saturday then it does not count as the first week.
datepart and format functions have the Use the first week in the year that has at least 4 days for the firstweekofyear option but I need it where it has at least three to make it work.
I have a form which has a button to email the data out in a standard email message.
Private Sub Command60_Click()
Dim MyDb As dao.Database
Dim rsEmail As dao.Recordset
Dim sToName As String
Dim sSubject As String
Dim sMessageBody As String
[code]...
This works well enough, however, FIELDS 11 through to 16 contain the venue address. This is all we ll and good if every field of the venue address is populated. here are times when not all of the fields are populated, for instance, the address might only be 5 lines.I know I can do this using IIf statements on a report, but how can i achieve the same thing for the email.
Is it possible to email as attachment a FORM in snapshot format?
I have a form that gets the results of a query. I'd like to send the data displayed on this form as snapshot format. Possible? Any alternatives? Suggestions? Please help, i've looked high and low.
Using the access ‘Mail Report’ function, the ‘send’ dialog box comes up to select format… Is there a way to pre-select the snapshot format using code.?

I am trying to email a table in text format using :
DoCmd.SendObject acSendTable, "Table", acFormatTXT, , , , "Results", "Attached are the reslts"
It sends the file in text file format, but it adds "-" & "|" characters all over the file. Is there a way that I can send the file in simple "Comma Separated" file format.
Thx,

Hi,
I have been reading all of your post for days now and can't find the answer to my question.
I have however found the answer to one of my programming problems. Thanks to all of you.
I have used Access as a data supplier but this is my first attempt to program in access.
I have absolutly no experience with VB code. And a limited amount of experience with macros in access only.
My question(s) are:
1. I need to send a single report (page) in an email (snapshot format) to a person using a command button. This report should be sent from the form that the person is currently looking at. Currently my command button sends the report in snapshot format but it sends the whole database.
2. This report will be used as a tracking mechanism for another department and I will need a specific name to store the email in a certain location. So that it can be tracked at a later date. I want (that doesn't mean that it can) Access to automatically put the subject line in the email. I know under the sendobject macro you can set the subject line the same for each email. But I need the subject line to match the information in several of my text boxes from a table. For instance: Subject line should read: [Permit number][CountyId][Inspector's Initials][Date]. Can this be done at all and if so how.
Thanks so much for all that you have done already.

I am new to Access. I am using Access 2010. I have searched and found several articles on emailing the current record shown on a form but haven't been able to get any of them to work.
My goal is to have a user input information onto the form and then have one button the user will click that will save the current record, email the current record in pdf, and then close the form.
The form name is: frmCorrectiveActions. The unique identifier for a record is: Corrective Action ID.
The last coding I tried is below. I know something is wrong but have copied this code from another post about emailing forms so I'm not even sure what half of it means.
I am getting the message Run-time error '3075': Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression "Corrective Actions ID = 23' and when I hit debug this is highlighted: qry.SQL = strSQL
form Private Sub Email_Click()
Dim qry As DAO.QueryDef
Dim strSQL As String
Dim ReportQueryName As String
ReportQueryName = "qryCorrectiveActions"
Set qry = CurrentDb.QueryDefs(ReportQueryName)
[Code] ....
I am using the following vba code to create and send an html format email message. The key information in the email is a hyperlink to a network drive folder location using [Directory] as a hyperlink table value to get the address that is stored like this:
K:PipelinesP9 - TEP ProductsMOP AID-1500Final Approved
The email hyperlink that is produced looks like this:
#K:PipelinesP9_-_TEP_ProductsMOP_AID-
Dim appOutLook As Outlook.Application
Dim MailOutLook As Outlook.MailItem
Dim MOPVDB As String
MOPVDB = "H:PGADSBYMOP VALIDATIONTRACKINGMOPVDBMOP Validation DatabaseFE.accdb"
Set appOutLook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
[code]...
how to properly get my email body to format correctly? I am obviously misusing the .HTMLbody/tags incorrectly. The email generates with the attachments as expected, but the email body message is just runon.
Code:
Private Sub Command29_Click()
Dim appOutLook As Outlook.Application
Dim MailOutLook As Outlook.MailItem
Set appOutLook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

I'm trying to create a lotus notes email through vba that contains data from one of my access tables. Since I'd like the data to be displayed in a tabular fashion, I'm trying to format the body of the email in html.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to export a table in access table .
1. for example every day at 8.00 it create an output excel file.
2. Attach the file and send to a fixed email at that time.
I need to send the report using DoCmd.SendObject. However, I need to send it based on each tech's job via email.
Currently all tech and jobs on the reports together. I need it to pull the email address and only send to that tech its jobs.
Currently I'm using the basic vba code
DoCmd.SendObject acSendReport, "R_DispatchInspectors", acFormatPDF, "email@me.com", , , "Job number", "Please see attached", False
However do I allows this to send individual report connected to email address. (Which will have each tech's specific jobs sent to them only).

My form has a date field (with a default of today-105 days)( and can be updated by the user) which is part of the following query
SELECT dbo_CM_AS_LG.AS_LG_DT, dbo_CM_AS_LG.AS_LG_WO, dbo_CM_EQ_MA.EQ_MA_ID, dbo_CM_EQ_MA.EQ_MA_DE, dbo_CM_EQ_MA.EQ_MA_PS
FROM dbo_CM_AS_LG LEFT JOIN dbo_CM_EQ_MA ON dbo_CM_AS_LG.AS_LG_TP = dbo_CM_EQ_MA.EQ_MA_NO_P
WHERE (((dbo_CM_AS_LG.AS_LG_DT)>[Forms]![F_Q_RISC_SWAPS]![SearchDate]) AND ((dbo_CM_EQ_MA.EQ_MA_DE) Like "RISC/6000*" Or (dbo_CM_EQ_MA.EQ_MA_DE) Like "ibm power pc*"))
ORDER BY dbo_CM_AS_LG.AS_LG_DT;
The query is thr root query for the form, but when the form opens the default date has not been set and I get an error.
Is there a good way to pass a parameter into a query ?
I have tried running the qury using the ON Open Property too, which works until I try and call this form from another one.
I'm sure there's a simple answer, I just can't see the wood for the trees (yet)
Cheers
I have a query with an expression as follows in criteria:
Between #1/1/2012# And #1/1/2012#
I want to pass into that expression a value from another table.
So, I created a table, DateRange, with fields StartDate and EndDate
Then, I modified my expression as follows:
Between [DateRange]![StartDate] And [DateRange]![EndDate]
Which, of course, didn't work, as the expression didn't know which 'row' to use.
Hi All,
I wonder if anyone can help me? I am at the stage now of building a query in design view. Rather than using a dynamic parameter field to capture a range of dates (between...[InputDate] And [InputDate]), I have created a text box in a form and want to pass the contents to my query. I have got this to work providing the variable that is passed is 'text'. I need to pass two dates though. When I put paths to the forms textbox in the 'Between' statement above, it just doesn't return any records. I think Access sees these text boxes as 'text' rather than 'dates'. I don't know how to change it so Access sees these as dates. Any ideas?
I have a subform in Continuous Records format (records displayed are determined by controls on the parent). I would like to create a button that prepares an email and copies the contents of that subform in to the body of an email message.
The email. I have a method to create a new email, set To, CC, Subject and even Message Text.
Code:
strTo = txtName
strCC = txtManager
strSubject = "Something"
strMessage = "Hi, please find below list of details from X Y and Z" & vbnewline & vbnewline
That all works. Thats fine
The Records: I have found ways to have them added as an attachment, either the the SendObject and OutputTo method but I would like the list of records to be converted to a text string so I can include it within my strMessage variable, not include it as an attachment.
Code:
strMessage = strMessage & "Subform Records to go here"...
