Modules & VBA :: How To Disable Security Pop Ups When Opening External Files In Access 2010
Aug 1, 2013
[URL]
I have a button on a form, when it is clicked it opens a video file located in a folder on the local computer. Each time the button is clicked a security pop up appears that says "Opening file://C:lahblahyadayadaFile.mp4 Some files can contain viruses or otherwise be harmful to your computer. It is important to be certain that this file is from a trustworthy source. Would you like to open this file?" options are open or cancel. How can these messages be turned off?
I have already played around in the trust center of Access 2010 and changed the "trusted documents", "trusted locations", and "message Bar" tabs with no results. Do I have to play with regedit in windows to get rid of these pop ups? Or can I somehow use VBA code to disable them?They are just a nescience.

hey all,
I would very much appreciate any help or ideas on how to do this as I am stumped.
I need to develop an access database to track documents but also link to them.
I’ll explain what it needs to do;
Every day there is a numbered (and titled) Word format document that is sent.
Most, but not all of the time an accompanying excel file is also sent. The excel file is used for updates to the word document of the same name.
Lets say the word document is titled DW101.1.doc and the Excel file is called DE101.1.xls
The first would signify it is a Word document by D (being short for Document) and W for Word.
The 2nd would be D for document and E for Excel, and then a number which is 101.1.
They are saved in a folder on the hard drive.
Each time these documents are recd then the Access Database is opened and info about those documents is entered. The document name, date, subject, number etc.
There will also be 3-4 fields that are also filled out with terms from the content of the document that could be searched by those 3-4 fields.
So as each document is recd, it’s opened and ‘scanned’ for relevant terms and or content.
That content is what will be filled in the search fields and then the subject will be the ‘main’ searchable item.
All this so far I can do with no problem.
It’s this part that’s making me crazy.
What I would really like to do is when the document(s) come in and are saved in the folder, from access you can open a dialog box, browse to that folder, and click in the file to associate it with the entry you are making for it in the database.
That way when a search is done with terms or words or subjects that match that document it will bring up the results of the search as a hyperlink that will open that document.
The people that will be using this are not very computer literate to say the least.
I could create a link to the document but I would have to be in design mode and it won’t show up as a record in a table.
Any ideas would be very much appreciated……………..

Can you import from a .txt file on Notepad into an Access table or will it have to go via an excel spreadsheet to begin with?

Running Office 365 (Access 2013). Recent problem occurrence. When I do an 'External Data' command, either from another Access database or an Excel file, the import completes, but I don't see the new table immediately in the navigator section. If I import from another Access database, the new imported tables appear as '~TMPCLP....' tables. If it's from an Excel workbook, the new table doesn't appear at all. It's only after I exit the database and reopen it do I see the new tables correctly named.

disable the data picker for every field on every form in my application - without doing it the long winded way of manually turning it off for every field?

I have an application created in A2003, but my client's machines nearly all use A2010 runtime. How I can disable the Date Picker completely on all forms as I have no need for it. Obviously I can't access the 2010 property sheets to disable it that way.

Hi,
i was wondering if anyone might be able to help me out here. I've been spending hours but to no avail. It seems to be a very trivial problem but i'm just out of luck.
I've been getting this pop-up message everytime i try to open up an access application such as .mdb files.
Open file - Security Warning
Do you want to open this file
...
two buttons: Open & Cancel
My question is if there is a way to turn it off or disable this warning from popping up when opening an access application.
Thank you in advance

Hi,
I was wondering if i could get some help here. I think this is to do with the security issue. I usually double-click to open or run an access file (for example student.mdb) that sits on the server with no problem. But this time, nothing happen when i did double-clicked on it from my laptop while the file was being open by someone'else on another computer. I know that it makes sense that we shouldn't open a file that's being used by other users. But my curiosity is that should it not give you a warning like (you know) you're not able to save any changes or things like that. No, i didnot get any of that messages. It's just nothing happen after trying to open it by double-clicking it.
I have set the macro security to low level but that did not help either. Is there any thing that i need to tweak?
Thank you in advance

I'm a SQL Server DBA and have a few Access 2010 Db's to look after and occasionally have to make amendments to (as is the case today). I've been asked to apply permissions to certain users of the Access database whereby users in a group we're calling 'Viewer' only have read permission and users in another group called 'Writer' (original I know!) have both read and write permission.
The database is form driven (i.e. no-one directly accesses and amends the tables in the database), the file is saved with a .mdb extension.
I've played around with the 'Manage Users & Permissions' in the File Menu however these don't seem to do what I need them to and only result in having to input a user and password to access the database on start-up.

There's possibly a very simple answer to this but it's been boggling my mind all morning and I can't find any answers on the net.
I'm opening a db on a network that was built with Access 2003. When I open it with Access 2003 on one pc it opens fine and I can edit it. But when I open it with Access 2007 I get a message saying that's it's opened the db in read only mode and that if I want to edit it I have to save a copy.
I tried opening the db exclusively but still no luck. Is there a reason why it's doing this and how do I get around it?
Many thanks,
Peter

This is probably very simple and I feel I should know how, but I'm drawing a blank. How can I launch an external database when I click on a button?
Thanks

We have an Access frontend with a Sql back end on an external server in the cloud.One of the things I need to do is allow people to attach files/documents to a record. I have set this up okay with the document being copied and saved to a new location and the path string being associated with the record. This will only work for people in my office though. I need to enable people in other cities to be able to upload or view these documents. Each office has their own server.
My IT department said they had created a VPN for this. They gave me a web URL which enables me to log in to QNAP. From there I can click to open the 'file station' and use the 'folder window' that appears within the browser to click through to the relevant folder - and there are buttons for uploading and downloading documents.
I could try writing some code that will automate all these steps - maybe. I'd rather not, but I can't see any alternative. It looks like a real pain to go through the HTML elements (and I think there may be errors coming up about certificates)
The files can't be uploaded to the external host server the back-end is on incase any of the documents are confidential. They don't want it saved anywhere other than on their own servers.

I am using Access 2010 - Version 14.0.61.29.5000 (32-bit)
I am building a custom Export Wizard to export data to Excel using the Report Wizard for the basic ideas.
All I am trying to do is have a [Back] button on a form to open another form and close the current form.
Private Sub cmdBack_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_ExportWizardPage2", , , , , , Nz(Me.OpenArgs)
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frm_ExportWizardPage3"
End Sub
The new form is opening but then the current form is not closing. All forms are the same size, shape and positioned centrally although this should not make any difference.
Could this be anything to do with which form has the focus when I open the new form?

I have an Excel file with a name range "DBIAS" which identifies all database data.
Then I have an Access file with a form to import that database (better, that named range) into an Access table. While importing, I have to filter some records or grouping by some field.
I cannot run correctly a VBA code to get data (filtered and/or grouped) from that name range and save those records to an existing or a brand new table.
I could get those data as DAO.recordset and printed out with "Debug.print" on immediate window, but I cannot complete the final step: writing those records to a table.

I have Access 2013, Win 7, Outlook 2010 (32-bit).I want to send an email from Access, but not through Outlook. Instead I want to connect to an external SMTP server. I've found a few examples that doesn't work for me. With code including for example
Code:
Set ObjMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
I get an "Error 429: Object can't be created in Active X-component" (My translation from Swedish).With code including this:
Code:
Dim oEMail As New CDONTS.EMail
I get "user defined type has not been defined" (my translation again).I have working code for sending email through Outlook, which works fine. But, Outlook adds a lot of span tags, making it impossible to read for certain screen readers used by visually impaired people, therefore I can't use Outlook.
I've tried to read up on the matter (CDO), and think that maybe the CDO library etc is not included on my computer?can I download it?

So access will open and show the form that is linked to the selected button in html.

I will be sending out copies of a program to several locations. Once I send the program I have absolutely no control over it. The FE file will always be in the same folder. The setup process creates C:MyFolder with the FE file in there. Is there a way to to programmatically disable the warnings throughout setup or to make C:MyFolder a trusted location?

I am wondering if there is a way to disable the "saveas" in excel from access with vba? I have the following code:
Private Sub cmdReport_Click()
Dim path As String
Dim XL As Object
[Code]....
Which I have used in another excel file. But I can't use that now. The file I am opening from access is a workbook generated from an excel template, and I have yet to find a way on how to transfer this Workbook_BeforeSave sub from the template to the new workbook.

I have the following code which successfully opens the dialog box with filters however when I add a function with an Excel import, the filters do not work at all (no files are shown even though they exist in the directory that's opened within the dialog box). If I manually type in the filter (i.e. *.x) it still shows the files.The function at the bottom was provided by cheekybuddha from another form, I'd be lost on getting the Excel file imported into Access.Here's the VBA code (the Function is also included at bottom):
Code:
Private Sub Command0_Click()
On Error GoTo PROC_ERR
Dim strpathtofile As String
Dim strTable As String, strBrowseMsg As String
Dim strFilter As String, strInitialDirectory As String
Dim blnHasFieldNames As Boolean
[code]...

I have an application in Access 2003. It uses VBA to open an Excel file. The file has one tab for charts and one for data. The program counts how many charts needs to be created, one per project. It then will place 4 charts per tab, creating as many chart tabs as necessary, keep one data tab. The program then writes the data and links the data to the corresponding chart. It will also write legends, and scale the charts. This all works fine under Access 2003/Excel 2003.The error I get is "Application-defined error or object defined error".The line that gives me the error is: Set chCopy = xlsheet.ChartObjects(idx).I am using the Multi-Chart option frmChartType = 1
Now I'm moving to the Office 2010 world. It is not working. Below is the code I run to do the magic. I guess something is happening in Excel 2010 that is different from 2003.I found when I comment out the error line, and other lines dependent on chCopy it creates the charts, but all the charts are pictures and not charts!!
Code:
Public Sub GenerateChart()
' Generate an Excel chart
Dim db As Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim xlapp As Object
[code]...

Here is my project: For a duty plan the employees are assigned to positions in a certain area.
For example:
Name. Position. Description. Map
Brown. 1. backdoor. 1
Miller. 3. frontdoor. 1
Norman. 4. left wing. 2
Hoover. 6. right door. 2
....
Now I want to show the positions within circles on the maps, with the names within dynamically, as the employees change every week.
The coordinates of the positions do not change, but not every position is needed in every duty plan.
So, my idea is to draw all possible shapes on all possible maps and make them visible or not depending on the assignement.
The duty plan is my table in access and looping through all records I would like to fill the needed shapes.
All maps are on slides (40 slides and about 400 positions) and should be filled accordingly.
I can open my presentation, although I only could do it by late binding ( a reference to ppt 14 obj. Lib fails with an error!! - why??) but I cannot any solution how to loop through the records and do the job.
