The Excel file is being used by the Access as it bring data from the spreadsheet a displays it within a subform.

Hi All,
I have three excel files (ActualHires.xls, ActualPromotions.xls and
ActualSeparation.xls). These are password protected files (with the
same password). They are linked to an access database and whenever the
files are opened, one must supply the password and click the 'Enable
automatic refresh button.' What I was wondering was if this could be
done in access with a command button. I have pasted some code below
that I found but now I'm getting an error.
This is the code:
Dim BookNames As Variant
Dim B As Long
BookNames = Array("O:ExcelFilesActualHires.xls",
"O:ExcelFilesActualPromotions.xls",
"O:ExcelFilesActualSeparations.xls")
For B = LBound(BookNames) To UBound(BookNames)
WorkBooks.Open FileName:=BookNames(B), _
UpdateLinks:=3, Password:="*******"
WorkBooks(B).Close SaveChanges:=False
Next B
But when I click the button, I get this error:
Run-time error '9' Subscript out of range.
and this line is highlighted:
WorkBooks(B).Close SaveChanges:=False
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

How to modify an existing database template to meet my needs.
I am trying to create a command button that sits on the order details page and that will open up a report i have created called 'picklist' which is basically the same as an invoice but with some different product information listed on it.
I want the command button to open up the picklist that corresponds to the order that i am on e.g picklist #2 for invoice#2
I have 2 issues/questions:
1) I have seen this code on the internet -
DoCmd.OpenForm "SecondFormName", , , "FieldName = #" & Me.ControlName & "#"
Would this work for me if i was to modidy it to:
DoCmd.OpenForm "PickList", , , "InvoiceID = #" & Me.[txtID] & "#"
2) Where do i input this code? If i click on the 'onclick' in the properties form I am presented with this page (attachment):

I would like to open a PDF document using a button control on a form to a file path listed in a field on the form (Me.Link). I am trying to use the followHyperlink code but I keep getting the runtime 490 error.
This is the code im using:
Dim strFilePath As String
strFilePath = Me.Link
Application.FollowHyperlink (strFilePath)
If I put a filepath to one of the pdf documents in the place of (strFilePath) it opens that pdf document fine but not when I declare a filepath based on the one listed on the form.

I am trying to open a workbook with a command button on a form however the path to the file is giving me a fit. The path for the file location contains spaces and I am going blind trying to figure out how to rectify the path. Heres the line. I am sure someone here will see this problem quick! Thanks.
Private Sub Command0_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command0_Click
Dim stAppName As String
stAppName = "Excel.exe N:OPSCOMMONOpsResearchContact CenterDI CCL Reporting dBApps by Agent.xls"
Call Shell(stAppName, 1)
Exit_Command0_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Command0_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Command0_Click
End Sub
Heres the mess I made out of it:
stAppName = "Excel.exe N:OPSCOMMONOpsResearchContact" & Chr(32) & "CenterDI" & Chr(32) & "CCL" & Chr(32) & "Reporting" & Chr(32) & "dBApps" & Chr(32) & "by" & Chr(32) & "Agent.xls"""
:confused:

I am working on supporting spaces in the DB filename. I got the rest of my program working... other than being able to invoke Access with the specified filename for it to open.
Code:
C:Documents and Settingsc_mlueckMy DocumentsFandango>"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice12MSACCESS.EXE" "Schema Ideas.accdb"
C:Documents and Settingsc_mlueckMy DocumentsFandango>dir "Schema Ideas.accdb"
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is C8E4-5856
Directory of C:Documents and Settingsc_mlueckMy DocumentsFandango
01/18/2013 04:45 PM 3,203,072 Schema Ideas.accdb
1 File(s) 3,203,072 bytes
0 Dir(s) 125,846,482,944 bytes free
The envoking of MSACCESS.EXE results in:
Does Access 2007 MSACCESS.EXE not support DB's with a space in the file name being spefied to auto-open via command line switches?

I'm looking for someone to help me with a solution to my problem of importing data into a data table.
What I'd like to do is have a command button on a form. When this button is clicked the records in a table are cleared out. Then I'd like for a browse window to come up to locate an Excel file. The user would select this file and the data would be imported into the data table that was just cleared.
Can this be done without too much trouble?
Thanks, Paul

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'm trying to design a command button on a Form so the user can import the contents of an Excel spreadsheet to an existing Table in Access with the click of a button. But, i'd like the imported data to overwrite the existing data in the Table and not append to it. I've considered using linked tables but apparently you can't set Primary Keys when you do it this way.

I have created a database for a church cemetery. It contains the usual names, birthrates deaths, etc.... I have also created a map of the cemetery in PDF format with the lot number highlighted which is assigned to a particular record. I did the same in excel with a layout of the lot and a JPEG picture of the grave marker. In my table I created Three columns - Site Plan, Lot Plan, and Grave marker. I insert the specific site plan, lot plan, and jpeg picture using the "insert object" in the table. On my form after a search, I have created three buttons.. Site Plan, Lot Plan & Grave Marker.
I have looked and experimented trying to assign these command buttons to open these files on the form. I don't have any experience with macros or VB code.

I need Access to open an Excel file prior to pulling information from it, because the Excel file itself only updates when it is opened. I was able to achieve this with the code below:
Quote:
'Opens a hidden Excel window.
Dim app As New Excel.Application
app.Visible = False
Dim book As Excel.Workbook
Set book = app.Workbooks.Open("S:OperationsAssistantDataba sesBUSES.xlsx")
[code]....
This works fine if NO Excel window is already open, but if the user happens to have some file open in Excel already, my code doesn't seem to work right. The file does not open in a hidden window. Instead, it opens in the window already open, and additionally, the file is not closed afterward, which leaves the user wondering where the hell this random file came from, and they have to close it. I need this Excel file to open, but I want it to be completely hidden from the user.

In my database I have a field with contents I want to copy and then paste into Excel. Whilst in development, I've made sure the field is visible so that I can see when it has any content. I have placed a button next to the field that copies its content to the clipboard. This works fine and can be confirmed if I open Notepad and paste the content into it with no issues.
The problem starts when I open Excel. I've tried opening it using another button and manually and the same thing happens when I try and paste the clipboard content into it. It's empty! I can't even directly paste into Notepad once Excel has opened. However, if I go back to the database with Excel already open in the background, I can hit my copy button and the content pastes into Excel with no issues. This proves my code is fine.

I have a macro that Runs from a button that I attached to a form called " plans" the macro opens up a Dialog form from which I select a drawing number from, on selection of that drawing number a query is run and finds the information I want
The problem I am having is when I close the query the macro button goes active so if I want to run another query using the button it goes to the last record I selected. I have tried the refresh command but that does not work..I really need the button not to be active when the query is closed.

I have two tables, one is GENETIC and the other one is BoneSampleDNAprofile. Both tables have the field CY-Code. I want to create small form with 2 text box fields and one command button on the form to be able to insert CY-Code from the table GENETIC to designated DNA_LAB_Code in the table BoneSampleDNAprofile.
In that small form I would type DNA_LAB_Code and CY-Code where after pressing command button will insert CY-Code for the designated DNA_LAB_Code. This is continuous process after our Laboratory receive results from DNA laboratory. I have attached two .png files which are example of two tables.
