Hi,
It feels strange to be the one doing the asking after so much answering, but this one is driving me crazy.
I have a simple database with a table, a form, and a report based on the table. It's something I made quickly to test out an idea, and so the table only has four or five records of useless data in it.
The idea is for the user to click a command button on the form, which will cause a system folder picker to display. Upon selecting a location and hitting OK, the report in the database gets exported to that location as a PDF named according to the report's caption. The code in the On Click event for the button is as follows: - Private Sub cmdExportReport_Click()
-
-
Dim strFolder As String
-
Dim fd As FileDialog
-
-
Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
-
-
If fd.Show = -1 Then
-
strFolder = fd.SelectedItems.Item(1)
-
Else
-
Exit Sub
-
End If
-
-
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "rptEmployeeBirthDates", acFormatPDF, strFolder & "\" & Report_rptEmployeeBirthDates.Caption & ".pdf"
-
-
Set fd = Nothing
-
-
End Sub
This works fine, but when I subsequently try to close the database, Access freezes and I have to shut it down using Task Manager. Now, if I open the folder picker and hit "Cancel" (no exporting going on), I have no problem. It's only if Access actually exports the report that I run into trouble.
Any ideas?
Pat

I scoured the groups for some hands on code to perform the menial task
of exporting table data from an Access 2000 database to Oracle

This code isn't going for efficiency, and isn't trying to be dynamic.

Hi all,
I use Access 2007 and have the following problems: when exporting
banal select queries (either to Excel or to a csv file) I find that
exporting often doesn't work and creates a file with the WHOLE
dataset, i.e. including those rows which the criteria of the query
excluded.
For example: let's say I have a database with sales by region. I
create a select query to only show sales from Europe. The query runs

Greetings,
I originally used a button on a from created via the button wizard (access 2007) to run my report which was based on a query.
Since I wanted to add some validation I removed the button and added my own
code (as below):-
However the open report is just a preview and the user cant exit the preview
screen without directly using access controls.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
