i am creating a .vbs file that should open access, and inside access a form call "Issue Details", but passing a parameter, meaning that if i have 10 issues in my "Issues" table a vbs file is created for each one and when clicked should open the right form id(would be one ID for each in the table). It is so far opening access and it is opening the form(Issue Details) but it is blank. What am i missing? Help, getting crazy here ... Check code below
Public Sub sendMRBmail(mrbid)
Dim tmprs As DAO.Recordset
Dim db As DAO.Database
Set db = CurrentDb
Set tmprs = db.OpenRecordset("select * from Issues where [ID] = " & mrbid)
If IsNull(tmprs) Then
MsgBox "Record is not yet available"
Else
DoCmd.OpenForm "Issue Details", , , "[ID] = " & mrbid
End If
Set tmprs = Nothing
End Sub
Private Sub Create_Click()

Dim snid As Integer
snid = Me.ID
Dim filename As String
filename = "S:\Quality Control\vbs\QC" & snid & ".vbs"
Dim proc As String
proc = Chr(34) & "sendMRBmail" & Chr(34)

strList = "On Error Resume Next" & vbNewLine

I already found the answer. I added acFormEdit at the end of my DoCmd and it worked, check below:
DoCmd.OpenForm "Issue Details", , , "[ID] = " & mrbid, acFormEdit

I have created a VB script that I am calling from my batch file on Windows 10. The script is something like this:
Set startupShortcut = sh.CreateShortcut("%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\MyApplication.lnk")
startupShortcut.IconLocation = "C:\Users\MyUser\MyApplication\resources\MyApplication.ico"
startupShortcut.TargetPath = "C:\Users\MyUser\MyApplication\MyApplication-1.4.4.jar"
startupShortcut.WorkingDirectory = "C:\Users\MyUser\MyApplication"
startupShortcut.Save
The shortcut path here has a space in "Start Menu" string. Running it does not create any shortcut at the mentioned path, but when I use a path without shortcut for eg. Desktop, it works fine.
I really need help to understand how I can use paths having space in them.
Here is a subroutine example that can be used for creating a shortcut :
Option Explicit
Const Title = "Create a shortcut for the current vbscript or any other application with arguments using an array"
Call RunAsAdmin()
Create_Shortcut Array("Desktop","Recent","shell:Recent")
Create_Shortcut Array("Desktop","User profile","%userprofile%")
Create_Shortcut Array(_
"Desktop",_
"NetworkDiagnostics",_
"%SystemRoot%\system32\msdt.exe",_
"-skip TRUE -path %Windir%\diagnostics\system\networking -ep NetworkDiagnosticsPNI",_
"%SystemRoot%\system32\msdt.exe,0",_
"Network Diagnostics to fix connections problems",_
"CTRL+ALT+D"_
)

Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
If UBound(rArgs) > 1 Then
ShortcutLocation = cstr(rArgs(0))
ShortcutPath = objShell.SpecialFolders(ShortcutLocation)
ShortcutName = cstr(rArgs(1))
Set objShortCut = objShell.CreateShortcut(ShortcutPath & "\" & ShortcutName & ".lnk")
TargetPath = objShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings(rArgs(2))
objShortCut.TargetPath = TargetPath
If ShortcutPath = "" Then
MsgBox "Error The Shortcut Path Does Not Exsists On Your System."_
,vbCritical+vbSystemModal,Title
wscript.quit(1)
End If
End If
If UBound(rArgs) > 2 Then
Arguments = cstr(rArgs(3))
objShortCut.Arguments = Arguments
End If
If UBound(rArgs) > 3 Then
IconLocation = cstr(rArgs(4))
ObjShortCut.IconLocation = IconLocation
End If
If UBound(rArgs) > 4 Then
Description = cstr(rArgs(5))
ObjShortCut.Description = Description
End If
If UBound(rArgs) > 5 Then
HotKey = cstr(rArgs(6))
ObjShortCut.HotKey = HotKey
End If
objShortCut.Save
On Error Resume Next
If Err.Number <> 0 Then

I used & to connect 2 paths with spaces and it worked well for me:
startupShortcutPath = "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\" & "\Start Menu\Programs\MyApplication\MyApplication.lnk"
I have a code that copies a file from one location to another. What I would like it that when the file is copied, the recordID is placed in front of the file name (example: 150-FirstName). Here is the code I'm working with:
Private Sub cmd_LocateFile_Click()
On Error GoTo Error_Handler
Dim sFile As String
Dim sFolder As String
sFile = FSBrowse("", msoFileDialogFilePicker, "All Files (*.*),*.*")
If sFile <> "" Then
sFolder = Application.CodeProject.path & "\" & sAttachmentFolderName & "\"
If FolderExist(sFolder) = False Then MkDir (sFolder)
If CopyFile(sFile, sFolder & GetFileName(sFile)) = True Then
Me.FullFileName = sFolder & GetFileName(sFile)
Else
End If
End If
Error_Handler_Exit:
On Error Resume Next
Exit Sub
Error_Handler:
MsgBox "The following error has occured" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"Error Number: " & Err.Number & vbCrLf & _
"Error Source: " & sModName & "\cmd_LocateFile_Click" & vbCrLf & _
"Error Description: " & Err.Description & _
Switch(Erl = 0, "", Erl <> 0, vbCrLf & "Line No: " & Erl) _
, vbOKOnly + vbCritical, "An Error has Occured!"
Resume Error_Handler_Exit
End Sub
Try with:
Dim Id As Long
Dim sTarget As String
Id = YourRecordID ' Set current record id.
sTarget = sFolder & CStr(Id) & "-" & GetFileName(sFile)
' Replace your current If-Then-Else-End If block.
If CopyFile(sFile, sTarget)) = True Then
Me!FullFileName.Value = sTarget
End If
I'm a new user, so please go gentle on me.
I have created an Outlook rule that runs the below script which writes some of the email message properties to an SQL table.
The connection is working fine, when I run this as a macro on a selected message, it works fine... but when I leave it to run as a rule, it just keeps writing the currently selected email...
I can't figure out where I'm going wrong...
Code is below :
Sub TEST_TO_SQL(Item As MailItem)
Dim sSubject As String
Dim sTo As String
Dim sFrom As String
Dim sMsgeID As String
Dim sRcvd As Date
Set Item = Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection.Item(1)
sSubject = Item.Subject
sTo = Item.ReceivedByName
sFrom = Item.SenderEmailAddress
sMsgID = Item.EntryID
sRcvd = Item.ReceivedTime
Const adOpenStatic = 3
Const adLockOptimistic = 3
Set objConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set objRecordSet = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
objConnection.Open _
"Provider=SQLOLEDB;" & _
"Data Source=SQLSERVER\SQLEXPRESS;" & _
"Trusted_Connection=Yes;" & _
"InitialCatalog=SQLDB;" & _
"User ID=sa;Password=password;"
objRecordSet.Open _
"INSERT INTO [SQLDB].[dbo].[EMAIL_Log] (LogCompanyID, LogSubject, LogStartDate, LogEndDate, LogShortDesc, LogLongDesc, LogFrom, LogTo, LogMessageID, LogCategory1)" & _
"VALUES ('11'," & "'" & sSubject & "'" & ", " & "'" & Format(sRcvd, "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss", vbUseSystemDayOfWeek, vbUseSystem) & "'" & ", '', 'short desc', 'Long Desc', " & "'" & sFrom & "'" & ", " & "'" & sTo & "'" & ", " & "'" & sMsgID & "'" & ", '47')", objConnection, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic
End Sub
You're always using the currently selected mail item. Remove the line:
Set Item = Application.ActiveExplorer.Selection.Item(1)
Then Item will be the one passed in to the Sub
I'm trying to update the legal caption on our PCs using a VBScript. So far, I've been able to read values but I can't seem to get it to write any values. I don't get an error when I run the script, it just doesn't change anything. It's the first time I'm doing this and I have limited experience; any insight would be appreciated:
Dim objShell
Dim strMessage, strWelcome, strWinLogon
' Set the string values
strWelcome = "legalnoticecaption"
strMessage = "did this work"
strWinLogon = "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\"
' Create the Shell object
Set wshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
'Display string Values
Wscript.Echo "key to update: " & strWelcome
Wscript.Echo "key value to enter: " & strMessage
Wscript.Echo "Existing key value: " & wshShell.RegRead(strWinLogon & strWelcome)
' the crucial command in this script - rewrite the registry
wshShell.RegWrite strWinLogon & strWelcome, strMessage, "REG_SZ"
' Did it work?
Wscript.Echo "new key value: " & wshShell.RegRead(strWinLogon & strWelcome)
set wshShell = Nothing
NOTE: These are testing values at the moment.
Your script seems to be bug-less. However, launched by cscript 28416995.vbs returns next error (where 22 = WshShell.RegWrite line):
28416995.vbs(22, 1) WshShell.RegWrite: Invalid root in registry key "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\legalnoticecaption".
It's not invalid root, it's something like access denied rather because writing to HKLM requires elevated privileges (or run as administrator).
Note:
You should change LegalNoticeText value together with LegalNoticeCaption one.
Under the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\ registry key there both values reside as well. For this case (if a computer is not connected to a domain or with group policy disabled) should work next script.
Run as administrator:
option explicit
On Error Goto 0
Dim wshShell
Dim strResult, strMessage, strWelcome, strWinLogon, strWinLog_2, strWinLTxt
strResult=Wscript.ScriptName
' Set the string values
strWinLTxt = "legalnoticetext"
strWelcome = "legalnoticecaption"
strMessage = "did this work"
strWinLogon = "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\"
strWinLog_2 = "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\"
' Create the Shell object
Set wshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
'Display string Values
' continue execution if requested registry values not present
On Error Resume Next
strResult = strResult & vbNewLine & "Existing Caption Policies: " _
& wshShell.RegRead(strWinLog_2 & strWelcome)
strResult = strResult & vbNewLine & "Existing Text Policies: " _
& wshShell.RegRead(strWinLog_2 & strWinLTxt)
On Error Goto 0
strResult = strResult & vbNewLine & "Existing Caption Winlogon: " _
& wshShell.RegRead(strWinLogon & strWelcome)
strResult = strResult & vbNewLine & "Existing Text Winlogon: " _
& wshShell.RegRead(strWinLogon & strWinLTxt)
strResult = strResult & vbNewLine
strResult = strResult & vbNewLine & "key to update: " & strWelcome
strResult = strResult & vbNewLine & "key value to enter: " & strMessage
' the crucial command in this script - rewrite the registry
wshShell.RegWrite strWinLogon & strWelcome, strMessage, "REG_SZ"
wshShell.RegWrite strWinLogon & strWinLTxt, UCase( strMessage), "REG_SZ"
' Did it work?
strResult = strResult & vbNewLine
strResult = strResult & vbNewLine _
& "new key Capt. value: " & wshShell.RegRead(strWinLogon & strWelcome)
strResult = strResult & vbNewLine _
& "new key Text value: " & wshShell.RegRead(strWinLogon & strWinLTxt)
Wscript.Echo strResult
set wshShell = Nothing
For me your code run perfect.
For other user that want details over this i recommend this site: http://ss64.com/vb/regread.html and ss64.com/vb/regwrite.html
Both links detail exactly the procedure that you create.
Make sure to add this:
Function RunAsAdmin()
If WScript.Arguments.length = 0 Then
CreateObject("Shell.Application").ShellExecute "wscript.exe", """" & _
WScript.ScriptFullName & """" & " RunAsAdministrator",,"runas", 1
WScript.Quit
End If
End Function
It will run as Admin and if it doesnt work then your key is incorrect.
i am creating a .vbs file that should open access, and inside access a form call "Issue Details", but passing a parameter, meaning that if i have 10 issues in my "Issues" table a vbs file is created for each one and when clicked should open the right record(would be one ID for each record in the table). It is so far opening access and it is opening the form(Issue Details) but it is blank. What am i missing? Help, getting crazy here ... Check code below. The weird thing here is that if i double click it again it will refresh and open the right record without opening anymore windows..
How can i fix that? I dont want to do it twice :)
Public Sub sendMRBmail(mrbid)
DoCmd.OpenForm "Issue Details", , , "[ID] = " & mrbid
End Sub
Private Sub Create_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command48_Click

snid = Me.ID
Dim filename As String

Dim strList As String
strList = "On Error Resume Next" & vbNewLine
strList = strList & "dim accessApp" & vbNewLine
strList = strList & "set accessApp = createObject(" & Chr(34) & "Access.Application" & Chr (34)")" & vbNewLine

Found the problem. Changed instruction below, adding acFormEdit to it and it worked:
DoCmd.OpenForm "Issue Details", , , "[ID] = " & mrbid, acFormEdit
