Need Some Help With OLE Access Objects
Feb 13, 2004
I was wondering is anyone could help me with a problem thats been vexing me all day..
I have an Access database that has a number of Word documents stored as OLE objects. What I need to do now is create a macro within Word which, based on a few parameters, retreives these Word Docs from access and formats them into a completed document. The ordering and formating bits fine, where I'm stuck is getting at the OLE objects.
Can anyone give any advice on a possible solution?
Thanks, D

I have two database applications and they are:
- the (A) application is for administration use.
- the (B) application is for normal users use.
the idea is that: I made the (A) application for administrators who have full control over the database objects (tables, forms, queries, and so on ...).
the (B) application I have created for normal users who will have only to use forms to insert some data and display data only.
but the two applications has a respective table called "vacation request" table. where I linked them, so the both administrators and users can share the data.
The real question is that: How can I prevent the users from seeing the database objects in their application. I used the database options which have helped me in hidding the database objectives when the users open the application, but unfortunately they managed to access to the database objects by pressing the special keys.
I would like to have an access to the (B) application when I want to make some modifications to the forms and then lock it from users where they only have to use the forms for requesting vacations and view the vacations.

Any ideas on how I can get a list of the names of the queries and tables within a different database?
For example, from db1 I want to get a list of the names of the queries and tables within db2.
Thanks!

I am doing bug and enhancement development for an existing Access Application.
Periodically (after testing) I need to take my changed objects and export them to the production database.
My problems are:
1. Is there any easy way to tell which objects have been changed (is there any flag I can set at the beginning of a development cycle and then check to see which objects have been changed)
2. When exporting these objects they don't replace the existing objects in the Production Database they add a new object with the number "1" appended. If there was a form called "fCustomer Input" I end up with a new form called "fCustomer Input1"
This problem must come up with other development efforts.
Help
Thanks

I need to update a number of copies of the same application in different locations.
To do this I need to import new objects (ie. 10 forms, 3 queries, 5 macros etc.).
This takes two steps:
1. Delete the objects in the old DB
2. Import the objects into the odl DB from a temp DB that contains the new objects.
Is there any way to batch delete a bunch of objects? Otherwise I have the chance of missing an object and have the import create a replacement object (ie. fUpdateForm1) with the numbver 1,2 3 etc appended.
I can't just swap out the old database and replace it with a new database, and I already have my data linked from anther DB.
Thanks

Is it possible to have a button on a data access web page that saves the record and then refreshes the screen? I have the data access page in data entry mode under page properties, and I want the person entering the data to press the save button, which saves the record and clears the screen for the next record.
I am running this in frames (I currently have 4 frames on the web page) and if you set the button as "add new record" which works for a regular page, with frames, it doesn't clear the screen, but rather puts the data entry form below the original.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

using VBA in Access and Excel. I have an Excel form that I am using to collect data as the front end and an Access database to house the data as the back end. In my Access database I want to create a module that will open the excel files and retrieve data from Active X combo boxes, option buttons and checkboxes that are on the Excel form. I have been searching for the VBA code to get data from these objects but have not been able to find any examples. How to reference these objects and get the values from the excel form

I want to export different objects (i.e. modules, reports,tables, queries...) from another ms access application. How can I list the objects so I can pick from them and then import them. I know ms access has a wizard and I am looking to do the same but a little different because I have an application that I want to filter my objects by a criteria.

Is it possible (using the menu or VBA code) to find out the size of the objects in an Access database file?For example if the .accdb file is 300Mb, is there any way of comparing the size of the numerous tables/forms/reports/queries etc, that make up the database?(I know that if I created a new access file and imported the objects from the working database that could give an indication but that would be quite a repetitive process).

If my database gets quite large is there a way to create various groups under the Queries object? What about Reports, etc?
For example, within Queries, have qryGroup1, qryGroup2, etc.
What about color coding queries?

Hi,
Is it possible to simulate a control array in MS Access?
I’m using a restricted version of Access 2000. I can use all normal features but some Active X controls are not licensed and it will not be possible to licence them in time I have available for my project.
I have a form which has 14 combo boxes and 24 text boxes to allow user to choose shift type and enter start and end times of shift. I know in VB 6 I have used control arrays which has vastly simplified the whole code.
I have experimented with treating the text boxes as objects and trying to create a string with the first part of the name and using numbers to differentiate between the textboxes but Access does not seem to like this.
The code I have tried is below:
Dim obTextBox As TextBox
Dim str As String
str = "Forms!frm_Shift_Entry_3!txtFST2"
‘Set obTextBox = Forms!frm_Shift_Entry_3!txtFST
'Set obTextBox = str
obTextBox.Name = "txtFST2"
obTextBox.Value = Format("12:35", "Short Time")
'b = 7
'obTextBox.Name = "txtFST" & b
'obTextBox.Value = Format("17:12", "Short Time")
commented out sections are other options I have tried.
Can anyone point out any mistakes I’m making or advise whether this is possible in Access?
Thanks

Using Access 2010.I purposely disabled the Access Objects to open when the database opens of fear of someone messing with my data. This works. The problem I'm having is when I use the print button (access macro) on one of my forms, as soon as i click the button, the "all access objects" window opens on the left side navigation.Is there a setting that will permanately stop this from opening?

My Access 2007 database with one main table. There are associated queries and reports that sort under that table when I have tables and related views checked. The problem I am seeing is some clearly related objects fall under unrelated objects and not with the table.
Short of using a custom group and sorting them manually?

Is there a function that allows you to select all of the form objects.
What I want to do is to select all the form objects...have the user select a # from a drop-down list. Then set the font-size property to all of the form objects to that #. Does that make since?
Is this possible?

Hi Guys,
This might be very simple but this driving me crazy...
None of the objects created on my form are appearing in Form View mode but I can see all the objects in 'Form Design mode'. I checked the properties of the form and all other objects to make sure 'Visible' property is Yes. Any help to solve this is highly appretiated.
Thanks in advance.

Note: This is happening to the new forms too..

Hello,
I am a novice when it comes to the MS Access interface. My experience has been designing the database and then using ASP pages to query, update, etc. I am now in a new position where I have to modify a switchboard to point to other data sources (i.e. databases) who have been renamed. My problem is that when I open any of those databases all I get is a form (switchboard) that has links to reports. It appears to my novice eye that the switchboard is the only thing that exists within the "main" database and it points to other databases -- when I open those databases another switchboard comes up and I still cannot view the database objects. I hope this makes sense -- believe me, I am attempting to understand this all.
I hope someone can explain to me what's going on -- there has to be a database that I can open and see actual database objects by going to the top menu bar and selecting, "View --> Database Objects --> Tables, Queries, Forms, etc.
Please help!
Thank you!

Hi!
I want to display 8 thumbnail images at a time per form of records that matched a search critera in a form. But it seems like a form is suppose only to have one record at a time? I want to have a "next 8 thumbs"-button so it gets easy to browse the pictures.
I'm very thankful if you could help me with this! Please give me some advice.
Thanks!
Best regards

I am looking for an easier way to confirm that all a queries that are in a database are being used by the database. I started going through each and every one and it is taking for ever!
I have tried the documenter and either I cannot understand it properly or it does not contain the information that I am looking for.
An example might be I have a query called qryOne. I want to see where it is being used so I am looking for a “list” that says
qryOne = rptOne
qryOne = rptSix
qryOne = rptEightySix
Obviously these are just made up names, but I hope you understand what I am looking for. In essence a relationship table for queries, forms and reports.
Thanks for your help

Is it possible to loop through all forms within a project and look at its controls? I was requested to change some object names to a more generic name, but I would like to find all references of the form within the Access application. Is there an easy way to do this?
I know that the MSysObjects contains the listing of all forms, but I don't know how to generically type cast a local variable to the form name listed in the table.
Does this make sense? There has to be a way to do this, but I haven't found anything in searching this forum.
Thanks in advance.

We have an Access 2000 db, which has been used for some time and is split between a front and back end. We've come in today and tried to open the back-end, which contains only tables, and when it opens it's completely blank. We can't see any of the objects or the normal menu to access the tables, queries, etc. We can, however, import the tables into a new database, so they must be there.
Any idea why this has happened or how to stop it happening again.
Thanks.

Hi
Is there a way of finding duplicate field entries in a table and a query: e.g.
In the Sickness Query (which contains, say 10 fields), in the Section field, it says "Benefits", and in the Week Commening field, it says "15/10/06"
And then
In the Nil Return Table (which only contains the Section & Week commencing fields), they also say "Benefits" and "15/10/06"
If there is a way of finding them, how do I delete the entry that has been made in the Nil return table?
Thanks
Maria
