Opening Specific Form View From External Link

May 19, 2015

I have 4 forms in my access file. Now I have 4 buttons in html and I wanted to know if there was a way to open a specific form view based on the button click in the html page.

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

Link To External Data

Apr 24, 2006

I have a fairly complex database that will have many users. I am looking for a way to sort of link the data in a text box to an external database or text file of some sort to know who created a new record in it.

For example:

The database is on a network drive. Each person who will have access to it has a small file in their C: drive that contains their name. Whenever a new record is created, the name on that file is added to the record to know who is it that added it.

How do I do that?

Thanks

How Do You Link To An External File?

Dec 8, 2004

Hi there,

In an access db, I want to add a field called 'FileName' and simply add a link to a file. In tabular view, would I simply put 'filesmynotes.txt' into the database? Also, when I asp this to a web page, should it (or can it) show as a hyperlink?

Thanks,
Greg

Opening A Form At A Specific Record

Dec 23, 2005

Hi all

Im currently designing one of my first databases!

I've initiated a log on procedure, with a password.

A user enters their ID and password. Once the correct password is entered, the next form is then loaded up, to which they make some choices.

My problem is that I have lots of users, and I would like them to only access the page that is relevant to themse, and NOT be able to see anyone elses.

I gather there is a little bit of tweaking to go on the
docmd.openform...

line, and somehow incorporate the userID, but not entirely too sure what it is.

Apologies if this seems really easy!

All help appreciated - many thanks!

Opening A Form To A Specific Record

Dec 10, 2004

I have a Calibration form, with a button on it that links to an Equipment Inventory form. In the Calibration form, you choose
the instrument you want to calibrate from a combo box (which in turn automatically selects the barcode number for the instrument in another combo box), then if you need to edit info on it (ie. serial number), you click the button

Now, I need the Equipment Inventory form to open to the record that matches the bar code in the second combo box

anyone know a simple way of doing this?

When Opening A Database I Can Only View & Edit The Form...

Jul 9, 2007

Hello,

When I attempt to open any of my Access databases I am presented only with the form that has been selected as the 'startup' option. Furthermore, it seems to be impossible to switch to 'design' view and my only options on the toolbar are File, Edit, Insert, Records, Windows, Help. As far as I can tell, none of these enable me to select the options required to give me my entire database back.

I am something of an Access novice, so if the above problem seems familiar to anyone i'd be grateful for the solution! The help option within MS Access hasn't been particularly useful.

Many thanks,

David

Link Form To Another Form Based Upon Specific Data

Feb 1, 2005

As the DB is too big to put as an attachment i have attached the relationships.

I have a form 'Call next customer', based upon call details table. Within this the Customer ID field. I want to place a button on the form 'place an order for this customer' which would take them to an uncompleted order form but with the Customer ID already filled in.

I have managed to this to some extend but the button directs me to a completed from for that customer - a past order.

Any ideas? I will, around 6pm tonight (1 Feb '04) upload the database upon my website to view: www.lecoqsportif.co.uk

Thank you very much for your time.

Forms :: Opening Form To A Specific Record

May 8, 2015

I've done this dozen's of time - but it doesn't seem to be working now. I have a continuous form (frmHome) where i want a user to be able to click on a record, and be able to open up that specific record in "frmCustomer". The key field here is pkCustomerID (i have it in the query).

frmHome is run off a query ("qryCustomer").

frmCustomer has "tblCustomer" as the source.

The code i've used on a button on "frmHome" is:

DoCmd.OpenForm "frmCustomer", , , "[pkCustomerID]=" & Me!pkCustomerID

It always only open Record #1.

Modules & VBA :: Opening A Form To A Specific Record

Nov 21, 2013

I have a table that has two forms linked to it - one is the Main Form which is used to input the data for the bulk of entries, however on some entries there will be some additional data required which the other form (lets call it Time Form) takes care of.

What I would like to do is have a button on the Main Form that opens the Time Form, and then go to the specific record that is open on the Main Form;I have an ID field (Autonumber + Primary Key) which displays in a text box on the main form, and it would provide the number of the record for the second form to open.

General :: Change Link From One External Database To Another?

Feb 26, 2013

I've got an Access 2010 application that currently links to a SQL Server 2000 database. I need to change the link to a SQL Server 2008 database on a different server. Where do I go to change the link? When I click on External Data, ODBC Database, I only get an option to import source data. I don't want to import any data. I just want the application to link to a different external database. If I go ahead and click OK, I choose my ODBC connection and log in to the 2008 database. Now I've got a list of "import objects" to choose from. I choose one table (just for testing; I actually want to link with all tables), it says it imported successfully, but when I view the data in that table from Access, it's the same old 2000 database data.

Show Only Specific Records In Form View

Jul 22, 2014

I have attached a student database that I created using the student database template in Access and have added additional tables, queries, etc. to fit our needs. One of the issues I'm having is users who are not very computer literate don't always remember if they have entered the right dates for attendance.

I had the idea of creating a "sample" student for each corresponding cycle with 100% attendance so they can compare what they have entered to what they "should" have entered. The reports are based on a query, so I know I can have the sample student show up with the correct information there. However, in the STUDENT DETAILS FORM, there is a pre-made code for the student's names to appear in the drop down and when you forward to the next record.

Can I have that altered to only show the ACTIVE students? This way the termed students would also not be a part of this drop down. I should still be able to go into the table itself and put in the sample student information when I create a new cycle, correct?

Forms :: Opening New Form With Specific Item In Drop Down Box

May 31, 2013

I have a master form for lack of a better phrase and 3 other forms that represent specific items in the original drop down box. In the master drop down box, I have all 50 states, and the 3 forms are for 3 specific states. Here's the code I have so far but when I save, it says "The 'OpenForm' macro action has an invalid value for the 'Where Condition' agrument."

Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Sub State_AfterUpdate()
Select Case Me.State
Case "CA"
DoCmd.OpenForm "Auditor Form (CA)"

Forms :: Opening Form To A Specific Record From Subform

Jan 28, 2014

I have a form that displays details for a specific asset and a continuous subform that lists all the purchases for that asset. I have the following code in the On Click event for one of the fields in the subform:

Dim myOrder As Integer
myOrder = Me.txtOrder
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmOrders", acNormal, , "OrderID=" & Order, acFormEdit, , "Edit"

The problem is, when I click on any item in the subform, the code returns the value of the first item in the form rather than the one clicked on. If I open the subform on its own (outside the main form) then the code works fine. I can't figure out why it won't work in a subform.

Queries :: Link External File To Existing Database?

Apr 30, 2013

Basically it's trying to take all the files in a given directory and add them into a existing database.

I have a database called Permit. the database has a field called "SEAL" and they will be creating an additional field "SCART" to hold the contents of the file that exist in the directory. Each image file, in directory, is named the same as a unique record in Permit.

example:
Permit-SC might have unique record 532442
An image file would be name 532442.

If the image file matches a record in Permit the image should be added to permit in a field called "SCART". At this point I'm not certain if I want a link or the actual image included in the record. since there's a possibility of including the permit file on the website it might be cleaner to have it included.

Forms :: Opening A Form Based On Multiple Tables On A Specific Record

Dec 31, 2014

I have a form "frm_PatientNew" based on table "tbl_patients", this form contains a button "cmd_NewVisit" which is supposed to do the following: opens the form "frm_NewVisit" for recording a new visit for the last recorded patient in "tbl_Patients", I found many approaches depending on DMax and Dlookup and they worked fine just if "frm_NewVisit" is bound to "tbl_Patients", but "frm_NewVisit" is bound to "tbl_Main" which acts as a container for all information (patient data, visit data,service done and service provider), so the form "frm_NewVisit" contains fields from different tables. I wonder if I should create "frm_NewVisit" as unbound form, then adding fields from different tables to it and using vba to populate "tbl_Main",

General :: Cannot Use ODBC To Import From / Export To / Or Link To External Microsoft Access

Mar 16, 2014

I am trying to create an ODBC link to a copy of the Northwind data base.I am running Win7 on a 64 bit operating system but am keeping office running as 32 bit for Access, Excel , Visio etc due to the fact that I have a lot of old apps tied to them.

When I attempted initially to create a new system DSN ODBC connection it only allowed me to use SQL drivers. (No plurry good) So after some searching I found out that I could use a file in C:WindowsSysWOW64 called "odbcad32.exe" which has allowed me to view /use the total list of drivers to import data.So I can set up a DNS ODBC named Northwind1 and I can access the database without problems using Excel.However if I try to use the same ODBC link in Access to connect to Northwind1 I get the following error message:"You cannot use ODBC to import from export to, or link an external ?Microsoft Access or ISAM database table to your database".
