From toddharpham at qb3net.com Mon Apr 1 00:57:27 2013 From: toddharpham at qb3net.com (Todd Harpham) Date: Mon, 1 Apr 2013 01:57:27 -0400 Subject: [AccessD] How To Make All Controls on a Form Invisible Message-ID: <000801ce2e9d$ca148a50$5e3d9ef0$@qb3net.com> Hello - As seen in earlier posts to this thread, there is more than one way to manage the controls on a form. Here's another alternative. It's been a while since I've had this particular requirement but this is some code I wrote to enable and show form controls based on values loaded to the control tag. As part of the form load, the SetControlLocks sub is called. The sub loops through the Controls collection for the form. For each control: If there is no value loaded to the tag, nothing is done. If something has been loaded to the tag, then enable/disable the control based on the tag value. The logic can get quite involved. For the purposes of the sample code below, I actually stripped out a lot of what was happening in the original app, and set up some simpler logic for two types of employees (Manager and Rep). Variables mblnMgr and mblnRep indicate the employee's role.

I'm more inclined to use unbound subforms to group the controls that need hiding if they're in a single location rather than scattered all over the form.

There are several worksheets in the Excel file, but data is only pulled from one worksheet. There is some complexity in the current process because the name of the worksheet changes. We do not have control over this name. I have been thinking about a better/different approach. Is there some way in Access VBA code to change the name of an Excel Worksheet? This step could be done prior to the main processing. We could make a copy of the master Excel file and then work with our own copy. I am curious if others have run into this issue when working with Excel files and I am curious if there are ideas on how to better deal with this.

Make a copy of the Excel workbook and change the name of the specific worksheet to the name hardcoded in the VBA 2. We used to have an Excel sheet from which we had to import data, the sheet would always be in the same position but the sheet name would change, so I would use code similar the the one below: Function GetSheetNames() Dim xlsApp As Excel.Application Dim xlsWbk As Excel.Workbook Dim xlsSht As Excel.Worksheet Dim strFile As String Dim strSheet As String strFile = "YourExcelFileName.xls" Set xlsApp = New Excel.Application Set xlsWbk = xlsApp.Workbooks.Open(strFile) Set xlsSht = xlsWbk.Worksheets(2) ' or whatever position the sheet is usually in strSheet = xlsSht.Name xlsWbk.Close Set xlsWbk = Nothing xlsApp.Quit Set xlsApp = Nothing ' Code here to use the actual sheet name End Function Paul On 1 April 2013 22:20, Brad Marks wrote: > All, > > We have an Access 2007 application that pulls data from several sources, > including an Excel file. > > There are several worksheets in the Excel file, but data is only pulled > from one worksheet. > > There is some complexity in the current process because the name of the > worksheet changes.

In the article you suggest to place the mdb in a folder that is not shared. We found we need to do this as well as adding the Anonymous IIS user with Modify rights.

Go visit friends and family as there is nothing like a coffee or a few beer...then everything will seem OK again. In the business you have to realize you can not know everything. If you know one or two products well you are doing well. After that you have to depend on other techs and research.

The only time DefaultValue is used is when the first entry is started in any field in the record. After that you have to set the actual value, not the Defaultvalue.

A few years ago I switched from covers and classics to jazz standards. Then I lost my head and bought an upright bass - the sound is really better for that genre than the electric I was playing. Been playing more and more gigs and jams but really need to spend more time to improve my chops. We're doing this benefit in the 13th: http://www.meetup.com/San-Diego-Jazz-Collective/events/112077302/ I usually do trio, quartet, small combos. But this will be eight pieces.

I'll be back to the list for advice on that in a few months. And of course a vacation where I don't have to stay in touch with the office - something we haven't had for a couple of decades - is a seductive idea.

Hopefully, in 4 months or so, we'll have the transition done and I'll have a lot of time on my hands.

Sure, we do have them and they can be deadly, but in your day to day life you rarely see them. And if you do they are way more scared of you, than you are of them. And there is no spider in Oz that you cannot squash easily. Snakes are only a risk if you sneak up on them. Most of the time they are long gone before you even get near them. However, I have had friends other parts of the world that are leary about camping in Oz - and yet these are folks who don't seem too worried about camping in the habitat of critters that are happy to hunt humans and can easily kill you. I am thinking Bears, wolves, big cats etc. Bloody hell - give me a spider any day over a bear! -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Darren Sent: Friday, 5 April 2013 3:10 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] test Yes I was aware - but without clarification, I was happy to bask in the assumption (By others) it related to all your comments :-) Don't worry 'bout the spiders (Or snakes or things that float/swim) they are more scared of you than you are of them (Been hearing that since I was a little takka) Ahhhh Sir Les Patterson - Australia's Cultural Attach?

But this case is a bit different. Long story is that the problem is that when they have a new person to add, they user the person combo box to see if they are already there. If not the back out and click the Add button. They find that inconvenient. What they want is to go to the Find first, drop down the combo box, and, if the person is not in the list, go directly to the Add function - GoToRecord acNewRec. Can't get that to work.

I tried the NotInList event until I realized this is to add entries to the combo box.

The not in list occurs in the combo box which is used to select a name for the form that the combo box is on. So, can't open the form - it's already open. I've used NIL so many times I just copy and paste now, and always works to add an entry to the combo box. But this was a bit different. Don't know why it turned into such a hash, but I did my workaround and that turned out a skosh more slicker than the NIL approach from the user's side of the table.

I suggested the make table query idea to him. First problem is that everything I do with this guy I do via GoToMeeting. Slow, awkward, etc. He recognizes that. So he's going to try to get his customer's permission to send the back end to me. 2nd problem - maybe not a real problem - he's using A97 (the app has been in use for many years - originally developed in A97, never upgraded). So when I create this new database it will be in 2000/2003 format and I'll have to convert it to 97 format. 3rd problem - for him, not for me - he doesn't have the BE in an mdb format. Oh yes, he has the original mdb, but it's out of date because he's made lots of changes over the years to the mde through code. Why mde back end? To stop the users from altering the data directly. But if I do this exercise he'll have an up to date mdb back end.

The buttons that quit working were on the report itself (Access 2007 "Report View"). The report is viewed online. The buttons on the report are for changing the sort order, hiding/showing fields, etc. on the report. By deleting the wayward report and copying it from a backup copy of the accdb file, I was able to fix the problem.

I followed the steps that you suggested. When I Right Click on one of the buttons, select "Build Event", then select "Code Builder" the VBA Window is opened. The catch is that normally it would open up to something like this ... Private Sub Command99_Click() End Sub However, when the VBA Window is opened, it shows Option Compare Database Option Explicit Which is at the top of the heap. I added a brand new button and things worked nicely. It appears that I have a very messed up report. I deleted the Report and then copied it in from a backup copy of the accdb file. This fixed the problem with the buttons. I am still puzzled about this problem because I have not worked with this report for many weeks. I guess that I may have angered the "Access Report gods" :-) Thanks again for your ideas and insights.

I would like to be able to save attachments in folder such as C:\AttachmentTests. This needs to be done based on who sent the e-mail. I have very little experience with the Outlook Object Model. Does anyone have an example of VBA code that can save Outlook attachments for select email-senders. I thought that I would try to get the code working in Outlook first and then later incorporate it into the Access 2007 application.

This application is primarily pulling data from a SQL Server database via ODBC. It has worked nicely for about 3 years. Recently, an enhancement was made to the application which requires the pulling of a small amount of data from an Excel file. This new feature seems to also be working nicely. Each day, a new Excel file is e-mailed to me. I DO NOT have control over how this file is named. When I receive the e-mail, I save the attached Excel file with a consistent name so that the nightly Access application can find it. In other words, I save the Excel file with the name that the Access application is expecting to find. This procedure works, but it does require manual intervention every day. I would like to find a better method so that this manual intervention is not required. Has anyone else ever run into this type of situation? I have started to experiment with Outlook VBA code. I have written quite a bit of Access VBA, but not much Outlook VBA. I am not sure of the potential of this route. Any ideas or insights would be appreciated.

Just rename whatever is in that folder using VBA as the first step of your processing. Then process it as at present. You don't have to manually rename it. How to get that file into the subfolder is the key. That depends on your email setup. If your mail comes through a local server, then a server based rule would be the answer. If not, then you will need an Outlook rule to save the attachment based on originator/subject or whatever.

In 2003 and before, in design view, the forms did not arrange themselves as tabs in the design window. There was no such paradigm. That is now the default apparently. In order to really change the form size (popup) we had to view the form in view mode, then exit to design view and resize, view again in view mode, back to design view etc. Simply resizing in view mode and saving might (but probably wouldn't) actually save your changes.

Email attachments were effectively the data source. So I created an Outlook Addin which effectively scanned each email that arrived for keywords in the body or subject. Then it took the attachment and placed it into a special network folder. This mini-app was so cool...the users loved it...I even popped-up a timed form which told them that particular email had arrived. I was going to add logging as well, but never got to it. I did add the ability to UNZIP the attachment...and that was slick as well. (They still were using XLS format !) P.S. Changing the name would be a piece-of-cake. > Each day, a new Excel file is e-mailed to me. I DO NOT have control > over how this file is named.

Here are the problem's parameters: 1. The app is a vertical-market thing written in Access and deployed using RunTime. 2. Some but not all the customers have various versions of Access installed. 3. Being an old-timer, my friend still works mostly in Access XP or 2003 or whatever its correct name is. 4. Many of his customers have not moved beyond this version, but lots have, and he is experiencing problems due to this. Not serious problems, but rather annoying messages that mention "installing" and bla bla bla if said clients are running a subsequent version to his preferred dev-version. Preferred solution if possible: 1. Avoid these annoying "intalling" messages on all versions of both Windows and Office. 2. Avoid version-specific builds; build once and it works on all versions of both OS and Office. 3. Handle References problems transparently without user-intervention. Is there some recipe that can make this possible? I personally have never faced this issue, primarily because I do one-offs and do not attempt to sell a product into a vertical market. So I have little or no experience confronting these issues. From my limited experience in this area, I have almost always stubbed my toe when (on my dev box) trying to run 2003/XP alongside 2007+. Whenever I've tried this, I have always been delayed by Office's attempt to reconfigure itself. The only method that I have found so far that works is to isolate the versions inside separate VMs; but that sucks.

In-Reply-To: <7FF1CB9F1C91429EAA87D0AAF01B32D3@HAL9007> References: <7FF1CB9F1C91429EAA87D0AAF01B32D3@HAL9007> Message-ID: First point, is what started this whole security issue was that some senior member of the Dropbox company had his laptop hacked and his computer had a list and access to administration level database passwords; passwords that would have never been able to be cracked. I will bet that those passwords have been changed and the employee will have been reprimanded. The second point and the articles conclusion, that should be challenged, is the following statement in the article " ...Dropbox is by far the most secure of all file synchronization applications... " is so wrong by a long way. The article was very interesting but the truth is that your Dropbox is just as secure, or not as the case may be, as it was before....but I did find the piece very interesting.

In Microsoft world, 2003/XP is of the old realm, Vista/Windows7 are in the transition region and Windows8 is their first OS in the new world.

I couldn't really give two shoes about whether someone really gets into my data on the cloud unless I was particularly targeted, and I can't think why that would happen unless I left them something obvious like my accounts and passwords in the open.

In-Reply-To: References: <7FF1CB9F1C91429EAA87D0AAF01B32D3@HAL9007> Message-ID: <7F4D23262F6F4643BD9CE3FDFAA2A926@creativesystemdesigns.com> I agree and am afraid that our best form of security is that, what we are saving has no real importance or profit to anyone else. That said, the biggest danger most of us face is our own carelessness and as you point out reliance on one type and/or location of backup. One client recently remarked something like, "How many backups do you have?" He was remarking how there were so many libraries of daily backups, backups of the backup, off-site backup and drive images (he doesn't know about the Cloud backups yet). When I describe the code and how a record is never deleted just hidden and cross-references itself a few times, I am sure his eyes rolled and he thought it all a bit obsessive. Mind you the fellow has never so much as lost a single record and he just sees that as a normal state of affairs. Backup are rarely to protect us from others but to protect us from ourselves. A few years ago, and I have not been able to find it again, there was a podcast on the subject about our near future and our integration with recording of our lives. Right now, many of our moment to moment thoughts and images are shown to everyone and stored forever. We may be looking at a future where all our action, movements, comments, visuals will be recorded 24x7...and then can be replayed but anyone...sort of like a perfect memory. (If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear.) Step number one Google Glass. On another note, Google is now providing a service, which will allow all our stored files, data, passwords to be passed on to our next of kin, in the event of our demise or escape to a cabin in the deep wood and total rejection of electricity. I am not sure whether I want my every thought to be known forever, by everyone. What is life without mystery?

The worst security for your data is drive failure and no backup, or the backup fails as well. Which has happened to me with more than one PC (multiple times) and backups stored on more than one USB drive, using Acronis True Image. That is what kills your work. I couldn't really give two shoes about whether someone really gets into my data on the cloud unless I was particularly targeted, and I can't think why that would happen unless I left them something obvious like my accounts and passwords in the open. If DB as a whole got hacked, I think there would be a long long line of more interesting accounts for people who cared, to hack into, before checking out my files and pics. Google Glass, OTOH scares the bejeezuz out of me.

ODBC timeout is about not receiving anything for a while - no response - while time to retrieve data is another matter as long as data flows. That said, I've worked a little with Pervasive for a client of ours and - at least for some operations - it is terribly slow.

This way you will have better control, allows simple access to all errors, even multiple errors and much improved connection performance results. OBDC embeds the OLE call which traditionally performs much slower, with less control or easy access to results.

To pull an amount from an adjacent or cascading sheet, the code, in a cell, would be similar to "=SUM(Income!D26)". This is a single amount from a sheet named "Income" from one cell "D26". And a single cell criteria can easily set like: "=SUMIF(Income!C3:C7, >0, Income!B3:B7)"; range, criteria, sum_range. Question: Is there are way to pull a range of cells, given a criteria, from an adjacent sheet...without having to do a major chunk of programming? I am looking to create a number of year worksheet which pull detail from one master worksheet which has a 5 to 10 year spread of data. It needs to be totally automated.

I did discover that if you referred to a worksheet not in the spreadsheet of which you are working Excel is smart enough to ask you to identify the required spreadsheet with the appropriately named worksheet...with a browse and search window. It will work great for client as a super simple work around...automate later. After that a set of cascading worksheets created a complete ten years window with graphics. (Client should be happy. ;-)) Thanks for your help. One note; a very useful function SUMIFS is only available in Excel versions 2007 and greater and the client only has 2003.

It seems pretty clear from the last few releases that Microsoft does not see the future of Access as being anything else. Also, SQL Server Migration Assistant overall does a better job.
