General :: Opening Specific Invoice From Command Button
Jul 20, 2014
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 creating a database for a local mechanical garage, most of it is setup but i have an issue creating invoices, I need to create a button on a form which will create an invoice per record. Trouble I am having is if i have 1 record it will show just 1, but when i add multiple records they all show on 1 invoice sheet. It doesn't separate records, i but instead it adds the extra records before the page footer :/ causing 1 footer for many records. How to finish the functionality of this DB, i can certainly finish the design side. Everything in this DB is set accordingly, just the invoice system to do i believe, could some1 have a look and let me know? i have tried to upload it here but cant so its on this link [URL] ....

Hi All,
I have a form called "frmProducts" which is linking to table "tblproducts".
Easy Enough...
The form shows all the Products information (fields).
I have a "More Info" command button (cmdMoreInfo) next to every record in the form.
When the command button is clicked I would like it to open up another form "frmMoreInfo".
But On frmMoreInfo I would only like it to show that specific product.
I have tried the following code on the on click event on the command button but it was always asking me for the value of Form![frmMoreInfo]![txtInternalCode]
Code:Private Sub Command12_Click()On Error GoTo Err_Command12_ClickDim stDocName As StringDim stLinkCriteria As StringstDocName = "frmMoreInfo" stLinkCriteria = "Form![frmMoreInfo]![txtInternalCode]=" & Me![txtInternalCode]DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteriaExit_Command12_Click:Exit SubErr_Command12_Click:MsgBox Err.DescriptionResume Exit_Command12_Click End Sub
Any Ideas?

I've created a simple database, with tables, forms etc but I've got stuck when I've tried to insert a 'Button' onto the HOME page which when pressed will display an invoice and give you the option of emailing to client or printing.
I think I've gotten messed up in my relationships or the macros which I've copied from another access template.
on the home screen, I click 'new quote' then 'view quote' when the window pops up and then when it tries to generate the invoice I get the error
'an action query cannot be used as a row source'.
I've put a copy of the database in my dropbox...

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.

I need to open a specific pdf file per record by using a command button. The pdf files will all reside in a specific folder in a partition on my hard drive. Each pdf file will have a unique four digit file name e.g 1234.pdf.The file name will match a unique number allocated to each record. This number is generated by adding 1000 to the record ID.Record 10 will therefore have an associated pdf file name of 1010.pdf.I have created a text box field , named 'TestReportID', to capture the unique four digit number per record that I assume is needed to be referred to when setting up the code to find and display the correct related pdf file.
I have set up a command button on the records form and as simple test using the hyperlink address to the folder where the pdf files reside, I can open a pdf file by clicking on the command button but it does not matter what record is open when I click the command button, it will always open the same pdf file.If I don't identify a specific file name in the hyperlink address, when I click on the button it will display a file open dialog which lists all the relevant pdf files and I can then select and open the required file.I would like to cut out that step and get the correct file to open when I click the button.

I have a form that opens from a different form based on the primary key within the original form. Unfortunately it seems to be opening a new record every time I open the form--not only from the original form but also straight from the sidebar.
The command button that opens the second form from the first uses the following VBA:
DoCmd.OpenForm "ZooMobile Incomplete Booking-Return Client", , , "[Event_ID] = " & Me.EventID
This exact coding worded perfectly in a similar set of forms that I had created; the only difference is a change in the form name & primary key field.
Add onto this, I think that the code DOES work, but then it immediately opens another new record. When I open the second form from the command button, then change to Design View, the form's Filter property is set to [Event_ID]=X (where X is the proper key from the first form) and Filter On Load is set to Yes. The X in the Filter changes accordingly when it changes in the first form. Also, every time I open the form a new record is added to the underlying table.
I've tried setting "Allow Additions" in the second form to No, but then when I open the form nothing appears. Literally; the entire form is blank, no labels, textboxes, combos, buttons or anything. When going to Design View it's still all there.
I've also checked the On_Load, On_Current & Form_Current events and found nothing. I even deleted them and the problem still occurred.

I have a subform in which I want to put in a Command Button to open another form.
I used the wizard as per normal, but when you come to matching specific data fields, there is nothing in my left hand column of the sub form. I have checked the record source property and it is bound to the correct table.
I have read that this is an issue with Access 2007? Is this the case or am I missing something obvious here?

I haven't used access before and have been set the task to create a data of photos. The table is called 'Find a Photo' and contains 6 catergories of various information including river, site and date. I would like to create a search/command button by which i can type the river, site and date into seperate text boxes and search all of them at the same time.I don't know how to connect a command button to command button and not sure if any macros/queries are needed. Hope all this aint to hard to do.

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 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.

Beginner using 2010. I wish to play MP3 files from a command button on a form. I would like to avoid third party / ActiveX controls if possible.
I am aware that use of "CurrentProject.Path" will be useful to locate the MP3 file within a directory within the Project Folder.
But have be baffled by the sparse previous postings about this subject (going back to 2004). Searching this forum yields zero results on the term "MP3".
This accdb/e will be used to present historical information to a small number of people and will be used with runtime without user input.
And all I need is Play / Pause / Stop. No other functions required.

I have a form that records data entered by a user who I then want to email the record via a report run from a query.
I created a command button on the form with DoCmd.SendObject acSendReport,"name_of_report", "format", "to","subject", False
The email program (Lotus Notes) opens a new email msg with the report attached as pdf. However, the data recorded does not appear.
