I have a workbook which is already opened and I want to close it. the code that i have is (see below) is not working.
Code:
Function CloseExcel(sExcelFile As String) As Integer
Dim XLapp As New Excel.Application
Dim ObjXL As Excel.Workbook
On Error GoTo ErrorTrap
Set ObjXL = XLapp.Workbooks.Open(sExcelFile)
[Code] ....
I would like to open an Excel workbook from MS Access and clear cell contents, or just delete some records in a specific worksheet.
If you open the test workbook, cell contents in RAW need to be deleted by calling from Access.
I have produced some code but it's partially working.
Code:
Sub TestFileOpened()
' Test to see if the file is open.
If IsFileOpen("test.xls") Then
' Display a message stating the file in use.
MsgBox "File already in use!"
[Code] ....
If you put this in a standard module in access, the function works, but the part that doesn't work is where it says "activesheet". It somehow tries to recognize it as a variable, but it's not going to be a variable.
I want to delete an excel file from within access vba. Problem is that if the file is open, it obviously cannot be deleted. so I need to check to see if that specific excel workbook is open and if it is, I want to close it before I can delete it.
All of the answers here involve creating an excel object and opening it before closing it. If I do that all that happens is a second instance of the workbook opens then closes leaving the originally open workbook still open.
Sub xx()
Dim XLapp As New Excel.Application
Dim ObjXL As Excel.Workbook
Set ObjXL = XLapp.Workbooks.Open("C:dropboxexcelimport.xlsx ")
ObjXL.Application.Visible = True
[Code] .....
The above code demonstrates my problem, if the import.xlsx file is already open then the code just opens another instance of this workbook and then closes it again leaving the original workbook open and as such cannot be deleted.
I have a button on a form, to open Excel, I need to open the relevant file at the same time...

I want to use command buttons to open two separate .csv files in the same excel workbook on different tabs. Is this possible?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have some vba code that exports the results of a query to a specific excel workbook. Code in this workbook then takes the exported data to "fill out" areas in the workbook. My staff will then use this workbook to perform analysis on a project. After they have completed the analysis, they will then save the excel workbook, and another person will then validate this excel and turn it into a PDF to send as an email attachment.
My question is, when my staff saves the excel workbook, is there a way they can save it directly to the access database? If not, would there be a way to use vba to "attach" this excel workbook to the appropriate record in the access db for future use?

To try to keep a sane user interface I would like to close forms as another form opens.
If I put a Command button on FormA that opens FormB and it is set to find a record on FormB ... how can I close FormA when FormB opens.
I tried putting DoCmd.Close either before and after the code that opens FormB and ...
If I put it before the code - it just closes FormA without opening FormB ... if I put it after the code, if opens FormB and closes it.
Is there a way of saying on a form 'close the form that just opened me'? (like in javascript where you can reference the form with window.opener)
Thanks for any help.
I am trying to write some code to open an existing excel form, populate it, and save it with a custom filename in a directory that is built using variables I have declared.
The only part I am having difficulty with is setting the pathname. Here is my code:
Code:
'Build path to save file to
spath = "S:ContractsGeomatics LABSigned" & Company
'Build File name
Filename = "" & reservationNumberforForm & " " & Company & "-Payment Schedule"
'Save the payment schedule to the S: drive
'xlApp.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="S:ContractsGeomatics LABSigned" & Filename, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook
xlApp.ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="" & spath & " " & Filename, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbook
xlApp.ActiveWorkbook.Saved = True
I have a excel object I have opened, and want to copy a query into a named range on the workbook.
heres the start have made
Sub openExcel()
'WillR - opens the specified Spreadsheet
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim xlWB As Excel.Workbook
Set xlApp = New Excel.Application
With xlApp

I want to pass a string aPath contains path of the active workbook to access vba module or sub. Below is my excel vba code that will open access db form. How do i pass the string value to access vba.
Code:

Dim fileParam As String
aPath = ActiveWorkbook.Path
aDbase = "near_14.accdb"
aDSource = aPath & "" & aDbase

I am using the following line of excel vba code to extract the name of excel file that I would like to compare with Access table data.
Code:
strFile = Application.GetOpenFilename("Excel Files,*.xls*")
textbox1=strfile
Now i want to write VBA code to check sheet name "Summary" in that workbook and check if any of column D value matches with Access table tblmain field "Reference" values. If yes then change the status field of tblmain to "Yes".
I have a question about the best way to go about linking an excel workbook to an ms access table? I have researched hyperlinks and attachments and ole objects and I am not sure what is the best option. I believe hyperlinks will be best, because the attachments will bloat the database, but I am not sure how to go about doing that in vba? My process is such:
1)Users enter project information
2)Users enter the sample information for each project
3)The project and sample information is combined by a query
4)The user clicks a button to print forms, which runs the query and opens an excel workbook template.
5)The data is exported to a specific sheet in the workbook
6)Using vba in excel, the data is used to populate cells in different sheets depending on critera.
After all of this is accomplished, I need the user to SAVE AS the excel workbook and it needs to be "attached" to the ms access 'project' table. I am not sure what is the best way to link this back to the database. I would like to automate it with vba if possible.
Is there a way to close a form that is open from another form that has the focus. I tried using the Unload event, but I received an error message "Cant load or unload the object". I would appreciate any help!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form which opens as a pop up when the system starts. On here are several buttons, which open other forms.Some of these just open another form and the user starts using the system, other close that form and open another one, and take go further into the structure of the system, then the forms that open have the same etc.For each of the buttons the code is very similar..For forms that open another one and don't close the main form:
Code:
Private Sub cmdescalations_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmEscalations"
End Sub
for those that close the form:
Code:
Private Sub cmdStock_Click()
DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name, acSaveNo
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmMain_Stock"
End Sub
Just the main of the form it opens changes, and sometimes with ,,,dialog in the options if its required.The opening part works every time without fail, but the form doesn't always close and I end up with two forms open instead of one. If I close the newly opened one and press the button again it works fine. This is purely random and only started a few days ago, up until then it has been working fine.
There is a hidden form that is open as well when the system starts, which check for something on a timer event every 60 seconds. If that event is firing would the focus shift to the hidden form, between me pressing the button and the event firing and the hidden form is getting closed? then the new form opening?
I have a form that has some fields with validation rules, which are Not Is Null. I have a private function to validate records (here is a snipet)
Code:
Private Function ValidateRecord() As Boolean
ValidateRecord = False
Select Case Outcome
Case "Interpretation"
If IsNull(Me.[Date Provided]) Then
MsgBox [Date Provided].ValidationText
Exit Function
End If
[code]...
The form has a save and close button. I was wondering if there was a way to keep the form from closing if those fields are null. Right now, you click the button, the validation text pops up (it pops up twice too), and then the form closes.
I thought about maybe having the (If...Then, Inputbox)code in the Form_BeforeUpdate instead. If I do that, is there a way to do that for date textboxes and comboboxes where you choose the value instead of typing it?
I currently have 3 forms open and when I call a specific function and it gets to this line below it goes to the on close of 1 of my open forms closes that form before it opens the selected form in code (below) in design mode. It doesn't close all my forms....why does it do this?
DoCmd.OpenForm formname:=dynform, View:=acDesign, WindowMode:=acHidden
I have a user login form wherein my users authenticate their employeeid as well as their person PIN. If the user authenticates with a valid username/ password combination, then the employee id and the role (permissions) for that user are stored on the form and it is minimized to stay open. If the user that authenticates has "Admin" role then I want to unhide the navigation pane. For all other roles I want the navigation pane to remain hidden.
That said, the default setting in the database is for the navigation pane to remain hidden. I have a piece of code on the login form as follows:
Code:
If Me.role = "Admin" Then
DoCmd.SelectObject acTable, "NavigationPaneObject", True
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdWindowUnhide
Else
Exit Sub
End If
This is successfully unhiding the navigation pane, but I'm getting the following error message and I don't know how to get it to go away."Run-time error '2544':
"Microsoft Access cannot find the NavigationPaneObject you referenced in the Object Name argument."The code is unhiding the navigation pane.
Once you open the db. open up the frmQuoteLog and the frmPDMontior. You will notice one record is displayed in the frmPDMonitor (Justin Ryan). This is correct.Now to test out the issue leave open the frmPDMonitor and frmQuoteLog at the same time. Go to frmQuotLog, go to the first record, make the "Sales Coordinator" = "Chris April", then check the box that says "Display on Product Design Monitor", then press the "Save Changes" button.Then look at the frmPDMonitor and you will notice the new record is now displayed on the form. This is correct as well.
Leaving open both forms, go to frmQuoteLog and uncheck the box you previous checked on the first record, then press "Save Changes".Then look again at the frmPDMontior and notice that the previous record is gone but the remaining record is now duplicated.
Only when I close the frmPDMonitor and reopen it, does the duplication go away.How can I avoid this duplication without closing and reopening the frmPDMonitor? The purpose of this form is to be ran 24/7.
I am looking to check 3 sub forms for values and if they contain any then delete them. After a bit of googling I discovered that you should use recordset.recordcount - to which I tried but I get method or data not found - is this a valid method?
My code to which Im using is:
If Me.NoneChargeable_Admin_subform.Recordset.RecordCount >= 1 And Me.NoneChargeable_Manufact_subform.Recordset.RecordCount >= 1 And Me.NoneChargeable_Research_subform.Recordset.RecordCount >= 1 Then
DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE NoneChargeable_Admin.*, NoneChargeable_Manufact.*, NoneChargeable_Research.* " & vbCrLf & _
"FROM NoneChargeable_Admin, NoneChargeable_Manufact, NoneChargeable_Research;"
End If
DoCmd.Close acForm, "NoneChargeableHrs_frm", acSaveNo

I have a form to add a record to a table. How can I give the user a way to close this form without saving the just created record.
I tried
If me.dirty then
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdDeleteRecord
endif
This works, but gives a messagebox in return to confirm the command, and I don't want that. And I try to avoid sendkeys. I also don't want to change the options of access.
I've got this form called mainmenu and inside this form I've got this code to prevent it from being closed.
Code:
Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
Cancel = True
End Sub
Now then, when I try to switch to design view in this form it doesn't let me because of this code. Is there anyway to tweak this code so that I can get into design view without having to keep disabling it?
I have a database that runs a macro/report every 2 hours, however our network has been up and down lately. This causes the macro to fail when trying to log into the system because the table that is storing your username is no longer in the database. When I check, all tables, linked tables, forms, reports, macros and modules are all gone. I find the only way to get them back is to close the database and reopen.
What I want is a way to reconnect the objects without closing and reopening.
Is there a way to do this?
I have MDB database linked to SQL SERVER through VPN connection.I created links to the sql server Links are dsnless..Everything works fine but when I lost VPN connection or sql connection has been broken I can't refresh links to the tables.I receive message 3146 sql connection failed..I must close database and start again...
I tried different methods like ado,dao, and vba docmd.transferdatabase,aclink... but no success, table cant be relinked.
Only way I can relink is to change ip adress in conn.string
E.g. 192.124.0.2 (1st ip- router server ip) and after connection failed i can use 192.124.0.32 (2nd ip - server local ip) and that's it if i lost connection for the 3rd time... i must restart application.
It seems that access database keep the previous connection..how to reset or drop database connection to the sql server and refresh links to the tables with vba code without closing access database...
this has to be simple but i can't get it to work...
i have a selection form (frmSelection) with a combo box...the user makes a selection from the combo box and based on that selection another form opens when they click next...i have a Select Case under cmdNext_Click()..here's a sample of what that looks like:
Select Case cboVioCat.Value
Case 1 ' loads frm_vw_lab_all_facility
frm_Name = "frm_vw_lab_all_facility"
DoCmd.OpenForm frm_Name, acNormal
Case 2 ' loads frm_vw_lab_all_other
frm_Name = "frm_vw_lab_all_other"
DoCmd.OpenForm frm_Name, acNormal
Case Else
strMsg = "Please make a selection from the list"
MsgBox strMsg, vbInformation, "Oops!"
End Select
now what i'd like to happen is say the user selects the first option "Case 1", the new form opens...this works perfectly...but what i'd also like to happen is frmSelection to close - it is no longer needed...i have added DoCmd.Close within each Case and after the End Select but none work...it appears as though it is closing the new form, frm_vw_lab_all_facility...what am i missing here?
