I'm currently importing a sheet from Excel into Access 2003 using Docmd.TransferSpreadsheet.
This works fine but requires the path of the file in question to be stated as one of the parameters. I have donjhe this and it works but, I would like the user to be able to navigate to the file using the standard
open file dialog box.
Any help appreciated...AJP
I import/export data from MS Excel. Access will not allow me to use the Browse function to select the directory and/or file to work with. I do not get an error message, just nothing happens.
View 3 Replies View RelatedBelow is a pic of the form I'm having trouble with. the poject is a database of golf courses. there is a form for entering/viewing information for each hole for each course. basically each record has a thumbnail pic of the hole.
That browse button needs to do something. It needs to open a browse dialog box, similar to the browse dialog box you get on many other programs. The idea is that the user selects the picture from the browse dialog box and the file name of this picture is put in the PhotoFile field.
I have no idea where to start on this, but I did check out the Northwind database that comes with Access - its similar but has loads of other functions bundled with it that I don't need and doesn't work without these functions.
I'm no programming genius either! so any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
The following code browse from one form to another and shows the record details I select in the first form which is what I need, however, the problem is it only shows that record and will not allow me go to next or previous records when pressing NEXT or PREVIOUS by saying this is the First Record or this is the Last Record.
Anyway to modify it to allow me navigate to other records.
Dim txtJobNumber As Integer
Private Sub Job_Number_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
'Store Job_Number in txtJobNumber variable and display
message to show value.
txtJobNumber = [Job_Number]
[Code] ....
What I would like to do is create a form that lets the user browse for an excel file, then will click an "import" button which then imports all the fields in excel into a table.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want a user to click a button, have the file open dialog open, they select a spreadsheet, and then it imports into a table. The problem is the filename can be different every time. The table name will remain constant.
Here is the OnClick:

I wonder how MS Access manage to show long list of records when we want to browse them in Datasheet view.
1 - Does it load limited amount of records on start-up and then load the remainder upon user interaction (scrolling for example)?
2 - Does it care about such things automatically or natively?
Hello all:
I'm trying to create a browse button in MS Access. Here is the code I've used so far:
Private Sub ImgBrowse_Click()
Dim OFN As OPENFILENAME
On Error GoTo Err_cmdInsertPic_Click
' Set options for dialog box.
With OFN
.lpstrTitle = "Images"
If Not IsNull([ImageFullPath]) Then .lpstrFile = [ImageFullPath]
.flags = &H1804 ' OFN_FileMustExist + OFN_PathMustExist + OFN_HideReadOnly
.lpstrFilter = MakeFilterString("Image files (*.bmp;*.gif;*.jpg;*.wmf)", "*.bmp;*.gif;*.jpg;*.wmf", _
"All files (*.*)", "*.*")
End With
If OpenDialog(OFN) Then
[ImageFullPath] = OFN.lpstrFile
[ImagePicture].Picture = [ImageFullPath]
SysCmd acSysCmdSetStatus, "Afbeelding: '" & [ImageFullPath] & "'."
End If
Form.Refresh
Exit Sub
Err_cmdInsertPic_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description, vbExclamation
End Sub
and here is what is in my module:
Option Compare Database
Public Type OPENFILENAME
lpstrTitle As String
lpstrFile As String
flags As Long
lpstrFilter As String
End Type
When I attempt to compile it says Sub or function not defined and highlights MakeFilterString. Why is this and how can I fix it? An ideas? Thank you

Hi, all! I really need some help from you geniuses here. I've never worked with modules and my coding from objects is very limited.
I need to create a browse button that will be used to select a file to import into my database, using a command button. I hope this makes sense. I was reading the post:
http://forums.aspfree.com/microsoft-access-help-18/how-to-link-fe-to-be-using-vba-76392.html?&highlight=browse+button
I am so limited in my aptitude for coding that I was totally lost reading this. I think that it is for relinking a database, with a browse functionality. Can anyone help me figure out how to adjust this to work for my needs?
Thanks!

hi all
i'm hoping some guru can help me out here, i've got a function that opens up a browse window and lets me choose what sort of file type i want to view in a directory. what i need is to modify it so i can have the option of arranging the files by the date modified, so i can have the last file saved come up as the first file available.
anyone know if this is possible???

Is it possible to use the "Browse To" macro within a subform on a Tab Control (Not a navigation form). I am trying to set up the "path to subform control" in a "Browse to" macro. I am not using a navigation form but instead am using the Tab Control feature. On my third tab I have two subforms; one that displays all of the records within a related document set in datasheet view, and a subform that displays each of these records individually. I want to be able to click on a record in my datasheet view and have it populate the main form.
I am just trying to figure out what the "Path to Subform Control" should be. All of the examples I have found are using Browse to on a navigation form and not a tab control. My Main form is called "BRC Form", The form in datasheet view that I want to make my selection from is called "Biomarker SubFrm", and the form I want the data to populate into is called "Copy of BiomarkerQry"..In the "On Click" event, I have added a browseto macro.
Here is the macro I am trying to mimic from the Contacts Web Database. Here is what I have so far. As you can see I am trying to figure out the proper code for my Path to Subform Control. again, this is not a navigation form so I need an extension that will work within this tab control.

Hi,
This post was very useful, it really helped me out, but I do have one question. My database will be used by multiple users and will be stored on a mapped network drive, just as the files that I want to link to. Now unfortunately not all machines are configured the same, so the same network drive can have different drive letters depending on the machine and this might cause problems. Is there a way to modify the code to get the absolute network path instead of the drive letter?
thx

I adapted the findform from the address book sample database. After the search is performed I would like it to be able to continue to browse (continue scrolling through) the rest of contacts rather than excluding everything but matches. More like a go to kind of search rather than a select query. I'm betting this is a simple fix (I hope), I just don't know what it would be. Any help?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I'm trying to add a control to my form that I don't know how to do.
On my form, I want the user to be able to click a button which will open up the standard file open dialog box. The user then will be able to browse through the appropriate directory and select an image file which will be saved on that specific record.
Attached is a strip down database as an example.
How can I do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated - I'm trying to do this for my work.
I am designing a form and I need to add a Browse button to it. I need the Browse Button to point to the "My Computer". Once that file is selected I need it to fill in the hyperlink box. I have the hyperlink text box on the form and it works if you manually type a link in. I would like it to auto fill-in with the selected file.
Any help would be great!!
Thank you :)

I have changed the import table name to my import table name which is tblImport I have changed the code to do a spreadsheet but it still isn't working. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I am attaching a copy of my database as well as the spreadsheet that I need to import. Any help would be appreciated.

I would like to create a form to allow the user to choose a location to place a file. I would prefer to have a browse command button so when he/she clicks the windows explorer view opens and the user can select the location. I have seen this done, but I am not sure where to start. If anyone has an example to show me, it would be greatly appreciated.

I have a database that keeps track of customers by last name, first name and various other information. I have the combo box setup so that I can type in a last name and it brings up my results. The problem is that it only brings up the first match and doesn't let me browse through all the matches. The last name and first name are seperate fields so if I look for a last name that more than one customer has like smith it only takes me to the first match. Is there any way to make it filter all the names that aren't matches out of the combo box as the values are typed in?
