I have documents (mostly Word) stored in an Access table. The table contains two fields. (1) a text field with the document's name and (2) an OLE field that holds the document.
When I press a button with the document's name on it (or it could be a hyperlink or a dropdown) on a form then I would like the document stored in the matching OLE field to open in the appropriate program for that document.
If I could set the permissions of the document to read-only then that would be great too. If I could prompt for read-only or read-write (no password necessary) access upon opening then that would be even better.
I can store documents in the table, but I have no idea how to launch them from a form button (or hyperlink, or dropdown).
Note: This is all within Access. This is not a web page related question.
I have a Word 2010 document linked to an Access 2010 data source. When a user clicks a button in Access, the Word document loads and performs a email merge using the below VBA code:
Private Sub Document_Open() With ActiveDocument.MailMerge .Destination = wdSendToEmail .SuppressBlankLines = True
[Code] ....
However, as the .mailsubject part is not in the loop it is only retrieving the first Return Code. I have tried to integrate in the loop to no avail. Also, how do I add static text to the Subject, I need something like "Your Return Code" + "Return Code"..
I would like to open a Word document using a button control on a form to a file path listed in a field on the form. I use the following code when I want to open a single specific document...
Dim wdApp As Word.Application, wdDoc As Word.Document On Error Resume Next Set wdApp = GetObject(, "Word.Application") If Err.Number <> 0 Then 'Word isn't already running Set wdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application") End If On Error GoTo 0 Set wdDoc = wdApp.Documents.Open(File path here) wdApp.Visible = True
...but in this case the file path I want to use will be designated by a field on the form. I know I could just use a hyperlink but I don't like the way it looks on the form. I would rather hide that field and have code pull that path when I hit the button.
So how would I change my code to make it so the value in the file path field on the form goes in where it says "File path here" in my code above?
I have an access form that fills an access table (MS Access 2003). Also, I have a Word (2010) document/template with some template text and empty fields which should be filled with data from access. Is it possible to insert a button in access form which would open a word document and populate appropriate fields with data from that form?
Often I use Labels as buttons due to the fact I can colour them the way I want, and use the on click event to trigger code. The code below however works for a command button, but not a label button.
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmdatetime" Do While Forms!frmdatetime!OKFlag.Caption = "False" DoEvents Loop
When this code is run by clicking on a command button, it works fine. If run by clicking on a label, frmdatetime opens, but the mouse will not work on either of the 2 open forms unless you go down to the windows task bar, jump onto another window, and back onto frmdatetime. If I remove the loop with the DoEvents in it, then the problem does not occur.
Can anyone enlighten me as to why this behaviour occurs.
Hello everyone!I need to call the button_click procedure for a button on a form (button1), from another form, if you see what I mean!.Basically the user opens form1. They click a button which opens form2. Once they have finished on form2 they press the close button, which is the point where I need to call the button1_click procedure on form1.I imagine it's something like this:Call Forms![frmForm1]![button1]![Click] orCall Forms.[frmForm1].[button1_Click()]But no matter what syntax I try it just won't work! They're very basic forms, with only 2 buttons on and basic commands.Any help appreciated! Thanks
I have a continuous form with button for every record, wich has a VBA code. I want to put Button in header form, when i click it, then should run all button in continuous form. How can I do that.
After data is entered into text box, on the "On Enter" event, how do I make it click a button on the form?Similar to the effect of when you enter your username then password, most people just hit enter on the keyboard to auto click the login button.
I have created a button that works fine however it will only work one click per form load and i cant seem to figure out why.
Code: Private Sub BntExpired_Click() Dim QryAllCourses As recordset Do Until ExpiryDate > Date Or ExpiryDate = "" MsgBox ([FirstName].Value + " " + [SecondName].Value + "'s course in " + [CourseName].Value + " has expired") recordset.MoveNext Loop Exit_BntExpired_Click: Exit Sub Err_BntExpired_Click: MsgBox Err.Description Resume Exit_BntExpired_Click End Sub
I have a continuous form with a button 'Cmd1' & a textbox 'txtMail' which is set to visible no.
When the user clicks Cmd1 - then txtMail becomes visible.
I can do it using vba on the buttons click event but when it executes txtMail for all the records become visible.
How do I use a button's click event on the form's current record - Private Sub Form_Current() so that when the user clicks Cmd1 on the current record only txtMail for that record becomes visible.
Form 1 - Data entry for a new project Form 2 - Data entry for a task associated with the project in the Form 1
Button on form 1 that opens Form 2.
What I am trying to do:
Use a combobox on Form Two to choose the Project entered into Form 1, so I can capture the Form1 PK as a FK on Form 2.
Here is the problem:
Refreshing the record on the button click so that the new option entered into Form 1 shows up in the combo box on Form 2.
Full disclosure: I'm not much good at VBA so I have been trying to do this by customizing the button macro. I have tried Refresh, and Requery, but I can't seem to get it to update the list in the combo box.
2 questions:
1. How can I get this accomplished? 2. Is there a better way to get this data into the table than what I am trying to do?

I would like to be able to click a button on a form in my data base and login to a website using my username and password.
The manual login, requires two clicks after username and password, "Login" and "Click to continue"
I have tried many solutions found on the internet, none work for me. One forum reply was to send me a link to another site and it was for Excel. Is the code the same? Didn't work anyway.
From the website I want to login to, I have copied the code into a Word doc from the "inspect element" to work out the names of the fields I'm trying to put my username and password into. (see attached)
I would also like to be able to use Google Chrome as my web browser if possible?
So I have a continuous form and I have a button that is pressed when a job is released and it record a date in a field. I wanted to turn that button to disabled after pressed but after lots of reading found that it couldn't be done in a continuous form due to it disabling all buttons . So I decided to just make the code populate the field only if it was a null value so that it wouldn't overwrite a value if someone pressed it more than once. Well the null is my downfall in all this. I cannot make it compare and populate the date when the button is pressed. I have tried all I can find on the net and all I can think of.
How to open a search form with a mouse click on Button_Search
My idea is to pop up a form where user can enter the search text and select the required name and get back to the old form with all details about the entry. This form alone is workign fine. I want to call it in a mouse click. and pass the data back to old form.
I have 6 text box on the form which are unbound. Now we enter the entry in these boxes then I have update button on the form to update the record in table. all fields should be clear after update the records in table so I can enter the new entry.
I am using ms access 2007. Is there any liberary to add?
There is a button on the form that allows users to send email with the form as an attachment in pdf. I'd like to create a date/time stamp in another table called tblLog. Trouble is the code works uptil sending emails but it doesn't record the stamp.
I currently have a database where new records can be entered in a "New Part" Form and Records can be viewed(but not altered) in a "Part Search" Form. The forms are the same except one is allowed to edit. I have also created another form where I am trying to search the "Part Search" Form via a tracking number. I want to have a text box where users enter a tracking number then click the button to take them to the record on the "Part Search" Form.
There are two pages in a word document. All the pages have same headers as attached in word document "Capita.doc". I want to display that header on just first page and on second one page, I want to display watermark stored in "J:PAP107.jpg". The following code displays same watermark on all the pages i.e "J:PAP107.jpg" but I want to keep the header as in the attached word document on first page only and display watermark stored in "J:PAP107.jpg" on second page.
Code:
Private Sub CmdPrint_Click() Call WordSetupQA("C:CAPITA.dot", "J:PAP107.jpg", Format(DateSerial(ComboBox4, ComboBox3, ComboBox2), "mm/dd/yyyy"), pno) End Sub
Code: Sub WordSetupQA(fnTemplate As String, fnBackGroundPic As String, b As Date, a As String) On Error Resume Next 'MsgBox txtbox Application.DisplayAlerts = False Dim strworkbookname As String strworkbookname = "C:System1.mdb" Set WordApp = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
Sorry if this isn't the right place for this, but it didn't seem to fit in anywhere else.
I have a simple database, which pretty much now works as I want it to. The only element I really needs to get working is some way of producing - at the click of a button - a Microsoft Word document, elements of which are populated by fields on whichever record the database user happens to be viewing at the time.
I already have the exact layout and template of the Word document I want, but I need to be able to view any record then click one button to fill that template with the record's fields and print it, and another button to fill the template with the record's fields and save it (again, in .doc format).
I have a form with various details on clients. I have 6 different letters that need to pull off different fields from the client form. Is it possible to have a button (for each letter) that when when clicked will open up the word document for the specific client with the fields on their poulated, such as name, ammount owed etc.
Mail merge does not do the trick as it brings back all the clients in the database and not the specific one.
I have managed to export the data that I want into a spreadsheet using a command button.
Once my colleagues have completed the spreadsheet, I need a command button on a form with a file search dialogue box which will allow them to transfer the spreadsheet back into the database - updating the relevant records rather that over writing them.
Is there a VB code/Macro I can use which will allow me to do this?
I am creating a database. I have all my forms, queries, tables, reports just as I need them. However, I would like to have a command button on my switchboard that will pull from a query to feed to a Word document (that's actually a letter on my company letterhead). I know a Macro has to be involved with this, but again, I have little to no knowledge of Macros. Also, I would like to be prompted to enter a client ID number when I click on this command button (because I only want to print a letter for a new client, not all of them).
