I am trying to get a button on my form to open two reports, and also go to a website. Once at the website I want it to type in a search bar based off of the criteria of the two reports. I currently have it able to open both reports correctly, and I can get the website to open, but I am not able to find a way to get access to type anything once on the website.
I would love to publish my product catalog from my access database on a website. it should be a browsable catalog with search field on article number range, product group, product type and should be able to display product pictures.Within my access database i have a link to the product picture stored by filename. I'm looking for an easy solution to do this, i'm using mysql as database on my hosting provider.I can do the export to mysql myself (interfacing between access and mysql) but am looking for some hot software to display the catalog easily without programming the front website myself. I already have oscommerce installed but don't want a webshop and don't know how to disactivate all the features within oscommerce to only retain the article browsing.Thanks if you have a hint
Hi, How I can link to website MS Access database? File->Link Tables doesn't understand http or ftp. Provider doesn't support MS Access. Thanks for your advice.
im new this forum and this is my first post, ive tried searching but if anyone could direct me in the right direction that will be great,
bassically i have created a basic Ms access databse for a hotel reservation system, with queries, reports etc. The database works fine.
I need to create an website which will connect to the database so that i can enter,view, query records from the website.
I have very little or no programming knowledge so whats the best solution. I was going to make the website in either dreamveaver or frontpage but ive read that these static websites cant connect to an database.
im sorry if this question problably has been asked a million times before but i need some advise as im a beginer.
Is it possible for a website to pull data from an Access database?
We have all our department's policies in a MS Access database on our server. Some of these policies need to be made available to the public on our website. I'm wondering if there's a way for the website to pull directly from the database rather than having to manually upload the policies to the site every time they change (annually, semi-annually).
I am writing a program that allows users to enter customer info and I want to be able to pop up a window that will search for Postal (Zip) codes using the Postal Service URL. (I would like to position the popup so that the contents of the Address and Postal Code fields are still visible on the form). I would also like to know if there is a way to copy the contents of the Address Field in my program to the Windows Clipboard, using VBA code, so that I can paste it into the Postal Code Finder without highlighting the field contents and pressing Ctrl-C.
Actually what I am looking to do is have an Access application check some Web site for the presence of a number. This number could be the Serial number of the application and if this number exists to maybe show a message in the aplication or even terminate the application.
A quick and dirty way is for User Serial number 254, to put on a specific page of a Web site say arbitrary file 254.jpg (invisible on the Web site). The application would check for the existence of this file and if it is there, it could take some action. Everything would have to be done in stealth mode.
The following code can tell me if a specific URL exists, in this case [URL]
Code:
Private Sub cmdArbitray_Click() Dim blnDum As Boolean blnDum = blnCheckURL("http://www.VisualDentist.com") ' If blnDum = True then it exists End Sub Public Function blnCheckURL(ByVal strURL As String) As Boolean Const FLAG_ICC_FORCE_CONNECTION As Long = &H1 blnCheckURL = (InternetCheckConnection(strURL, FLAG_ICC_FORCE_CONNECTION, 0&) <> 0&) End Function
I just created a database and need to connect it to the data source. The data comes from a http website (intranet from work). When I open the link using firefox, I can view the website with the data in it, but when I open it from Internet Explorer, I get a save as pop-up message to save a csv file which contains all the data. The extension of the http website ends with csv. So it is something like http (slash slash...) Intranetname/referral_dbase.csv
Currently, I am opening the file using firefox, copying all the data manually, and pasting it in a text file using notepad. After that, I import the file into access. The delimiter of the data is this symbol: |
I am trying to find a way to link my database to the website where the data is located so that I can skip the manual process of opening the website and copying the data and saving it into a text file and then importing that file into access. I was thinking to have like a form in access with a bottom that will automatically import that data from this link and paste it into a table in access using the delimiter symbol mentioned above.
Is this too complicated? Is it even possible in access 2010?
I need to create a user interface that will allow a boolean type search of a field. This would mean item1 AND item2 AND NOT item 3, item1 or item2, item 1 NOT item2, etc.
I've set up a combo box setup with the following script, but I can't figure out how to adjust it to allow the multiples.
Please advise if I should adjust this or try a differenmt interface format for my users.

What i want is to have a combo box on a continuous form that as you type it filters the Query it is based on using a Like *. and drops downs so the user can see the updated list after each key press? Is this possible?
I have a bound combo box that has a query as a row source, The query has 3 fields called from tblMasterItems, The ItemID , ItemDesc and ItemSupplier(related to the PK of tblSupplier).
Column Count = 3 Column Width = 0";1";0"
If I do not put a criteria under ItemSupplier, the combo box behaves just fine. The problem happens when I set the criteria under ItemSupplier, the criteria being the supplier ID, the combo box no longer expands and searches as you type, but the items in the combo box have been filtered and are there.
Summary:
When the row source qry ItemSupplier Field does not have a criteria, cbo works just fine. When the row source qry ItemSupplier has a criteria, cbo no longer expands and searches as you type, but has the filtered data showing if you hit the expand button (that arrow pointing down in the cbo)
I am trying to create a search box in Access 2010 inside a form. I have managed to create a search using the 'Surname', but what I am unable to do is to factored in multiple records with the same surname.
Currently, the search field sits within the Form Header bar. I enter the surname or part of surname and click the command button which searches. Using MoveFirst and FindFirst, it jumps the form for the first record that matches (or partially matches).
However, there will be occasions where there will be more than one record that matches. What I want to do is to be able to jump to the first record, but if thats not the one I am looking, if you click search button again, it jumps to the next matching records etc... until I hit the I want?
I have tried the MoveNext, Previous, Last commands, but they dont work. Any quick fire coding out there?
hi i just signed up to this site and need some assisstance from someone
i need to create a form in access 97 that enables me to search for a keyword on a given search area, for example the cd/dvd rom drive for files and folders
I am using John Big Bootys Dynamic Search Form (built in Access 2003) as it totally met my search requirements, however when typing anything into the search box it is realy slow, taking several seconds for each letter to show in the box.
This has always been a problem now and again, however some of us have upgraded to Office 2010, (although still using the 2003 built Db as we won't move to a 2010 version Db untill March next year) and now the problem is even worse that ever. Everything else seems to work really well except for this search function, however it is the search function that is used more that anything else.
I have a access 2003 database, and i am wondering if i can't setup a search function in a form that will open a file in windows explorer?
What i would like to do is have a test box that i enter in a number for example: 1234 then have a button named "Search" hit that button and it opens a corresponding file in windows explorer named 1234, or just opens that folder directly..
i need to create a system that can search data using keyword.so i want to create search button that i will create it at form. currently i have 1 table and in that table i have 10 fields which are project_name, doc_ref_no, doc_title, volume, book_no, author, doc_status, box_barcode, filling_location, doc_availability.
i have create 2 forms, one form for user to add new record and another one is to search record. the user can search by enter project name, doc title, volume and box barcode. for project name and volume, i use combo box and for doc title and box barcode i'm using text box.
i want to create search function that can detect from user keyword and even user did not fill in all the form, the system still can search the record.
I currently have a database with a few search forms. I recently attempted to add a box on one of my search forms to search 3 cells of a record for a key word. What happens is when I go to search, say for P0442, it does not bring up all of the records that contain that keyword in the 3 cells I have outlined. If I step down the code in the OR boxes of the query, it seems to work better but then for some reason my other search criteria , (Tracking number etc) does not work. I will upload the database for reference. I am currently working on the Search(View Only) and that is where you will find the query to work on.
I am creating a a text box where the user enters a text then clicks an option from the option that is used as the criteria for the search e.g. Last Name, Phone , address then a command button wil run a query.
I have a search combo box to search for a field on my form. But it just goes to that particular record. The combo box is for client id and it has more than one record. How can I have it return just the records pertaining to the client id choosen in the combo box.
So basically, what I have is a bunch of words in one memo field, for example:
dog cat cowboy tree flower
To search it, this is the code I have now.
' Check for LIKE Last Name If Me.txtLastName > "" Then varWhere = varWhere & "[LastName] LIKE """ & Me.txtLastName & "*" * " AND " End If
The only problem is what I search for needs to be "in order", for example, if I search for dog, I'll get the table. But, if I seach for tree, I won't because tree was not place first. Can you please help me? Thanks a lot!
The situation is that we have a split DB on a LAN using Windows Server. The BE is on the server and the FE are distributed to each user PC on the LAN. (For historical reasons there are differing versions of Access at each user which was the primary motivation to split the DB)
We also have a copy of the DB on the company website which is to be updated via FTP on a regular basis. This is used for queries only by visitors. We now want our clients to be able to update their information on line in tandem with our local users.
The question is - what is the best method to keep these DBs synchronised?
My thought is to use replication with the LAN BE as the master DB and the website having a replicated version. Then we can periodically download the website version and synchronise the two - presumably we would have to disable the updating function on the website while we do this and then reload the new replicated version up to the website.
A problem I see already is that the website DB is not split where the local version is - is it possible to rejoin a split database? Synchronise it, upload a a replica and then split the BE and FE again?
I need some assistance parsing some information from a web address. Here is an example of what the web address is.-http://www.websitename.com/ct20/pages2/client_bcphone_service_order.aspx?client_id=160399 4&contract_document_id=924182&cipid=206123444-What I am trying to do is get the client ID and the contract id. The client id being 1603994 and the contract id being 924182. Any ideas would be appreciated.Gregg
