You are likely better off using DATESERIAL to turn the date into something file name friendly such as YYYYMMDD (20181008 for example). You might already be doing this, but if you could give us a debug.print of the export string as VBA see it, we are likely to find the issue on this one.

When I need to export recordsets to Excel, I spool the file out to disk from the recordset2 type recordset (Attachment field), and automate Excel to open the file and put data into it. I find this extremely fast and portable and I am not reliant on any naming conflicts. I even run the macro code in the excel templates from Access, knowing Access has 100% ownership of an Excel instance and the file it needs to work with. Peachy!

I've effectively been retired for more than ten years, but had great times with Access - SQL Server too. A bit preoccupied recently fighting off two lots of cancer - so far so good. ?

Through your pledges (which I trust will become contributions today) you have guaranteed the continuing presence of the Lists, and valued the help and advice we all receive. If you have not pledged or contributed yet, but are one of those people who are susceptible to moral suasion, don?t fight it. The PayPal site will be waiting for you at https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=SGVT87NEVPU9A . For those of you who can?t or won?t use PayPal, you can send a check to me, made out to Rocky Smolin and I will deposit it and make the corresponding contribution at the PayPal site. Send the check to: Rocky Smolin 1014 Tulip Way Carlsbad, California 92011 Again, to each of you who have pledged and/or paid, you have solved in a day what could have been an awkward problem and assured the uninterrupted presence of Database Advisors.

This article demonstrates how to obtain these from no less than nine different sources, either for free or - for intense or demanding use - for a fee. Code is also on GitHub: https://github.com/GustavBrock/VBA.CurrencyExchange Note, that web scraping is also demonstrated (The Central Bank of the Russian Federation), and the XE service is been included, though only a seven-day trial is for free usage. /gustav -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com From rockysmolin at bchacc.com Fri Oct 19 00:12:53 2018 From: rockysmolin at bchacc.com (Rocky Smolin) Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2018 22:12:53 -0700 Subject: [AccessD] Administrivia - Database Advisors Funding Drive In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <01ab01d4676a$63cef990$2b6cecb0$@bchacc.com> Mil gracias.

A better approach was to dim the arrays required on the fly. This app had many hundreds of potential arrays, of which only about 25% were used in a typical run. I am sure there are other approaches and methods that are valid as well.

Haven't worked with the chart control for many years .. Now using Access 2016 I want to set up a simple line chart. I have a query with two columns: EventYear, NumberOfFamiliesWithChildren_percent. I thought this would be easy to set up with EventYear as the X and the other as Y with values between 0 and 100. When I enter the query as the rowsource on the chart control - set up as a simple line chart - the wizard (or whatever) creates what is called a transformed rowsource which is the entered query grouped on EventYear and the other column expressed as either sum() or count() - or ... which is not what I want ... I just want the chart control to use the rowsource I have specified without doing any transformation on the rowsource. I've googled and nothing so far has addressed my issue.

So just for the record: The article points out among other things when covering how the chart control by default transforms the entered rowsource into an aggregated query: "By default, each selected field is aggregated. For numeric and currency fields, the default aggregation is *Sum*. For all other fields, the default aggregation is *Count*. To change the aggregation, click the down-arrow, and select from the list, including *None* to remove the aggregation. *Note* Text fields must use the *Count* aggregation. All selected *Values (Y axis) * fields must either be aggregated or nonaggregated." The simple query I used as rowsource was based on a local table - in turn a result of a 'make table' query based on an aggregate query. Realising that the second column in the rowsource was text (Red Face) was key to solving the problem. I had selected to format the second column in the make table query as format(x,'Percent") resulting in a column showing values as xx.xx% , a string expression carried thru in the make table as a text column.... and referring to the article ".... Text fields *must* use the *Count* aggregation." Removing the format(expression,"Percent") solved my problem... Ooops! /borge PS : Does any one receive the emails I have sent today to AccessD ?

So just for the record: The article points out among other things when covering how the chart control by default transforms the entered rowsource into an aggregated query: "By default, each selected field is aggregated. For numeric and currency fields, the default aggregation is *Sum*. For all other fields, the default aggregation is *Count*. To change the aggregation, click the down-arrow, and select from the list, including *None* to remove the aggregation. *Note* Text fields must use the *Count* aggregation. All selected *Values (Y axis) * fields must either be aggregated or nonaggregated." The simple query I used as rowsource was based on a local table - in turn a result of a 'make table' query based on an aggregate query. Realising that the second column in the rowsource was text (Red Face) was key to solving the problem. I had selected to format the second column in the make table query as format(x,'Percent") resulting in a column showing values as xx.xx% , a string expression carried thru in the make table as a text column.... and referring to the article ".... Text fields *must* use the *Count* aggregation." Removing the format(expression,"Percent") solved my problem... Ooops! /borge PS : Does any one receive the emails I have sent today to AccessD ?

Yes there is a marketing (and as you found out - practical) issues with Office 2016 in that the same name 'cover' name includes several different 'flavours' and capabilities within a seemingly identical product. Office 365 subscription version is constantly updated with new features and capabilities (a bit like your phone apps are) where as the CD stand alone version is not. Not all features in the Subscription version (commonly called 365) will work in the CD version - despite them having the same name to the average user / consumer (the average consumer wouldn't know there was a difference). It gets worse once you add in the online only and mobile office versions that are also available. Appreciate you feeding back your experience as it might save me a lot of work and headaches one day.

There is actually a very long story behind the "why" it had it (it was intentional and not a mistake), but suffice to say there are a number of articles like this and the work to clean them up is on-going. It is an Office wide problem related to versioning and not just Access. And if you can reproduce the crash in 2016, Microsoft would like to get a sample DB.

I wonder if there will be ever be a perpetual licensed Access 2022 ?? If so, it would have the "new" linked table manager. Ah, just missed it for inclusion in Access 2019! https://support.office.com/en-us/article/manage-linked-tables-1d9346d6-953d-4f85-a9ce-4caec2262797 This is how we spare the User for battling with linked table managers - in fact they don't know about much of this stuff: We are using DSN-less SQL-backend table linking using VBA in connection with a local lookup table with the names of all the SQL Db tables to be linked; plus a local .accdb that the main .accdb app is linking to on start up to get the connection parameters to the SQL Db. This way, when we deploy new app versions to the client we don't have to worry about changing the connection parameters within the main .accdb app. A small separate SQL db keeps tab on the latest version of the .accdb apps that we have deployed. When deploying new app version to a master folder for users to get their new version from, we give the app a new version number and date in the 'version' SQL db and also reflect this new version number and date in a local table in the .accdb app. When user starts up their app it will compare the app's local version number and date against the Version SQL db - When there is a newer version as per the 'Version" SQL db, User will be informed during startup of app and asked to run a separate update using a shortcut on their desktop to a small update .accdb app; and the main app will close down. User then starts the small update .accdb that will pull the latest .accdb app from the master folder down to their local .accdb app folder.... As Users often keep their .accdb app open for any length of time it can be a hassle to push new app version to their local app folder... with this pull setup we avoid that... /borge From pcs.accessd at gmail.com Fri Oct 26 20:04:30 2018 From: pcs.accessd at gmail.com (Borge Hansen) Date: Sat, 27 Oct 2018 11:04:30 +1000 Subject: [AccessD] Access Chart Control - Access 2016 vs Access 365 subscription In-Reply-To: <02cc01d46d50$a9417e80$fbc47b80$@verizon.net> References: <01e001d46d21$bea771a0$3bf654e0$@verizon.net> <02cc01d46d50$a9417e80$fbc47b80$@verizon.net> Message-ID: Jim, Yes I spoke to Microsoft support person yesterday and pointed out on their article Access 2016 is referred to as having the chart control. He had to kick it upwards and gave me a phone number and a case reference number. I checked and you are right the reference to Access 2016 has quickly been removed. I took a screen shot of yesterday's web page - just to feed the embers of my simmering indignation... I have no doubt it was intentional - the more ways of subterfuge so MS can get everyone on the subscription path the better. I do have a standalone .accdb with one form with one tab control and five tab pages with a new line chart on each tab page. Two local tables are the source for some sql select statements being the rowsource for each line chart. I've reduced the .accdb form down to having absolutely no code behind the form. During some of these iterations of reducing the code (debug - rem offending code - debug - rem - etc - until I decided to remove all unnecessary navigation controls and command buttons and form sizing code on the form open event) I would get an exception message when opening the form, saying : "The expression On Open you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: A problem occurred while Microsoft Access was communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX Control. * The expression may not result in the name of ....." To me that was weird as any code on the Form On Open had no reference to OLE or active x controls... With no code behind the Form, in Access 2016 the Form just opens and shows no chart controls. The tab page tab headers are visible - the tab page with focus just appear grey. The moment I click on to a tab page Access falls over. When I bring the same .accdb back into the Access for Office 365 environment the chart controls displays nice. I will contact Microsoft to see if they want the .accdb Re "the new linked table manager" - is there a writeup / info about that, that you can provide a link to? /borge On Sat, Oct 27, 2018 at 3:24 AM Jim Dettman wrote: > Borge > > The tags on the help article you point to have been corrected. > > There is actually a very long story behind the "why" it had it (it was > intentional and not a mistake), but suffice to say there are a number of > articles like this and the work to clean them up is on-going.

He had to kick it upwards and gave me a phone number and a case reference number. I checked and you are right the reference to Access 2016 has quickly been removed. I took a screen shot of yesterday's web page - just to feed the embers of my simmering indignation... I have no doubt it was intentional - the more ways of subterfuge so MS can get everyone on the subscription path the better. I do have a standalone .accdb with one form with one tab control and five tab pages with a new line chart on each tab page. Two local tables are the source for some sql select statements being the rowsource for each line chart. I've reduced the .accdb form down to having absolutely no code behind the form. During some of these iterations of reducing the code (debug - rem offending code - debug - rem - etc - until I decided to remove all unnecessary navigation controls and command buttons and form sizing code on the form open event) I would get an exception message when opening the form, saying : "The expression On Open you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: A problem occurred while Microsoft Access was communicating with the OLE server or ActiveX Control. * The expression may not result in the name of ....." To me that was weird as any code on the Form On Open had no reference to OLE or active x controls... With no code behind the Form, in Access 2016 the Form just opens and shows no chart controls. The tab page tab headers are visible - the tab page with focus just appear grey. The moment I click on to a tab page Access falls over. When I bring the same .accdb back into the Access for Office 365 environment the chart controls displays nice. I will contact Microsoft to see if they want the .accdb Re "the new linked table manager" - is there a writeup / info about that, that you can provide a link to? /borge On Sat, Oct 27, 2018 at 3:24 AM Jim Dettman wrote: > Borge > > The tags on the help article you point to have been corrected. > > There is actually a very long story behind the "why" it had it (it was > intentional and not a mistake), but suffice to say there are a number of > articles like this and the work to clean them up is on-going.

Usually the size limit is hit because the email is sent in a format other than plain text. Rich formatted email (MS or HTML) is almost always too large for the limit. We increased the size limit of the lists to 20 KB per post some years ago. 20kb is a _lot_ of plain text. We would certainly allow a post that needed more than that to get through if contacted about it. I think that has happened once in 10 years. We maintain this limit because there are active members who have extremely poor speeds in their part of the world. Unfortunately the rich formatting gets stripped after the limit is determined rather than before or most posts would go right through. There are settings in almost all email systems to set the appropriate DBA list address to use always plain text. I have made numerous posts over the years in regards to how to do it in Outlook. Note: our volunteer moderators are very accommodating in allowing posts through - IF you contact them.

For my approach I have used my router as my first line of defence. First I set the firewall setting to SPI. It can be described in a complex manner but it really means; send out a request on a port, the response is expect back on the same port. This stops a remote application from responding on a port that does not have the appropriate listener. (I have turned ping reply off) Second, I decided to no longer use either IIS or Apache web server and am now using NodeJS. Security through obscurity. Third, I have put each website within its own Docker Containers, If a site gets hacked it can be deleted and replaced in minutes. Fourth, when wandering I always use a non recording VPN. There are so many hacker bots and they will tend to pound on a router until they find an open port and then... Anytime I have failed to browse anonymously my email fills with ads. Fifth, when remoting in always use SSH or SSL. Full encryption and if the authorize security is setup between the remote and local stations, it replaces username/password login. Great when doing remote support or backups etc... as the processes can be fully automated. Sixth, when remoting in via RDP (should never be used but there are occasions), I change the address from the default via editing the registry. That is but a few standards I use...not perfect but along with backups recovery and access security I feel relatively safe.

Nice ideas and a far more careful and controlled approach than I use, although realise I really ought to consider some of the techniques. I do not run a web site and just have the hub provided by my ISP. Basically, I accept that stopping any intrusion via the web is probably not possible without a substantial investment - Hardware, software setup, and time - so separation and restorability is basically my approach. And - for those continually swapping cabled (USB backup) devices I recommend cables permanently plugged into the devices, and then just provide power, and join the appropriate (labelled) cable ends That way the physical failure is liable to be the cable rather than the socket in the device, and less likelihood of disconnecting the multiple, or wrong device cables from the back of the PC.

For my approach I have used my router as my first line of defence. First I set the firewall setting to SPI. It can be described in a complex manner but it really means; send out a request on a port, the response is expect back on the same port. This stops a remote application from responding on a port that does not have the appropriate listener. (I have turned ping reply off) Second, I decided to no longer use either IIS or Apache web server and am now using NodeJS. Security through obscurity. Third, I have put each website within its own Docker Containers, If a site gets hacked it can be deleted and replaced in minutes. Fourth, when wandering I always use a non recording VPN. There are so many hacker bots and they will tend to pound on a router until they find an open port and then... Anytime I have failed to browse anonymously my email fills with ads. Fifth, when remoting in always use SSH or SSL. Full encryption and if the authorize security is setup between the remote and local stations, it replaces username/password login. Great when doing remote support or backups etc... as the processes can be fully automated. Sixth, when remoting in via RDP (should never be used but there are occasions), I change the address from the default via editing the registry. That is but a few standards I use...not perfect but along with backups recovery and access security I feel relatively safe.

My approach for the business side of life 2 PC's, 1 for online business access running my general browser activities in a VM Yes - the system is open to malware intrusion, but hopefully the AV will deal with OS targeted intrusion and the VM will stop web browser and email transported malware getting out of the sandtrap. Hopefully! Second system for business work - does not (usually) talk to the web, including MS - yes it runs the 2016 version that comes with 365 I have a full backup before I do the ( bimonthly) periodic update - and then specially allow it to get updates to the anti-malware profiles etc about 2 weeks after the update and do a scan Then after the 2 week hiatus, I can hopefully resume doing business work that needs stability on it- it gets and despatched files using USB storage media to pass data to, and from the online system so neither system gets to be able to 'access' the other. Safety is not a certainty but the stability helps And as the 2 systems are the same models, in the event of a hardware failure can just move the OS drive (or restored image) to the other system if needed, Luckily I do not expect to be 'working' for anywhere near another 10 years So will be able to get the 2019 (Ok maybe it's successor) and adopt a similar approach to it's security fixes to cover any needed win-10 and office use for my activities after business work ends. And - maybe Android, or any OS that is not MS will be my personal use environment. I can also see major organisations returning to Linux for their corporate environments due to both the reduced cost ( OK maybe 20 systems staff instead of 10systems support and team of 10 user call response help desk staff) and the much reduced software and hardware costs. As in you can run most user business environments on a ?200 2GB RAM tablet system where a windows one is looking to need 8GB RAM and at least 64 GB of SSD storage costing ?400 + licences of ?100 a year for the unstable office facilities.

So, it's something like this. At the top is the assigned family number, the household name, whether the household is participating in the Thanksgiving meal or the Christmas programs, if Christmas the date and time of pickup appear (they remain invisible for Thanksgiving because it's a meal and not a scheduled pickup), and there may also be a gift card assigned to the household. This last is going to change also, because there could be more than one, so there will be a list box here. Below that are three sub reports. The first one is about food baskets, that's a yes or no checkmark The second is about Toy Shop gifts received, where the name, age, and gender of the child appears followed by space for writing in indications of type of gifts, plus a textbox (which is going to have to become a listbox) for any gift card assigned to that child. The? third is for the Teen Angels where only teens are listed - again it's name, age, gender, space for writing in number of gifts, and a textbox (will become a listbox) for any gift cards. So, I have to find a way to put that person A first name up at top, but I also need to have all the other names. I thought I could put an unbound textbox and populate it when the report is Active with the PE_Fname, with PE_Fam-spot of "A", where PE_IDHH equals HH_ID. But, dang it, I am not figuring out how to do that. Thanks for helping me think.
