In MS Access, I have a table "files" with i.a. the fields "title" and “fileLocation”.
What I would like to have, is a button that opens the file to which the selected record is referring.
In other words:
I open the table "files"
perform a search on the field "title" for the file I would like to open
usually the right entire record is now selected
a click on the button should op the file
Of course, I can also put the entire path in the “fileLocation”, but the drive letter changes from time to time…
The VBA-code behind the button should be something like this:
Sub buttonClickHandler()
Dim fLocation As String
fLocation = files."current selected record".fileLocation
If (Dir("D\fileLocation") <> "")
Then (Application.FollowHyperlink "D\fileLocation")
Elseif (Dir("E\fileLocation") <> "")
Then (Application.FollowHyperlink "E\fileLocation")
...
Else (MsgBox "File not found")
End Sub
I have found a similar question here:
How do I access the selected rows in Access?
But I still haven’t found how to use that code with tables or queries instead of forms
Many thanks in advance
The comment from Erik von Asmuth and the answer to How do I access the selected rows in Access? did indeed the job.
Create a form from the table and use the view as datasheet (before I only knew forms in column view)
Set timer interval to 1000
Create a class object like:
Dim previousSelection As Integer
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
previousSelection = 0
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Timer()
If Me.SelHeight <> 1 Or Me.SelTop = previousSelection Then Exit Sub
previousSelection = Me.SelTop
With Me.RecordsetClone
.MoveFirst
.Move Me.SelTop - 1
openFile ("path/to/file")
End With
End Sub
Sub openFile(fileName As String)
If (Dir("D:\" & fileName) <> "") Then
Application.FollowHyperlink ("D:\" & fileName)
ElseIf (Dir("E:\" & fileName) <> "") Then
Application.FollowHyperlink ("E:\" & fileName)
Else
MsgBox ("File not found")
End If
End Sub
Every time you change the selected row, the related file will be opened.

I am trying to use the .FindNext (and .FindPrevious) function on an update form "next button" to find the record that meets certain criteria.
Private Sub NextRecord_Click()
Dim foundmatch As Boolean
For x = 0 To 3 Step 1
With Me.RecordsetClone
.FindNext "[Sensitivity] = " & [TempVars]![AccessLevel] + x
If .NoMatch Then
foundmatch = False
Else
Me.Bookmark = .Bookmark
foundmatch = True
Exit For
End If
End With
Next
If foundmatch = False Then
MsgBox "No More Records"
End If
End Sub
Upon a user entering the database the users accesslevel is assigned to a temp variable (1 to 4), and each project has a sensitivity rating of 1 to 4. The code below was used and worked for both next and previous only in finding records when the sensitivity and accesslevel were equal but not for sensitivities below the users access level which they are qualified to see.
Private Sub PrevRecord_Click()
Dim Stringy As String
Stringy = "[Sensitivity] = " & [txtaccess]
With Me.RecordsetClone
.FindPrevious Stringy
If .NoMatch Then
MsgBox "No More Records"
Else
Me.Bookmark = .Bookmark
End If
End With
End Sub
Note: The form is pulled from a query with Sensitivity one of the fields, and [txtaccess] is a text box on the field with the default value set at [TempVars]![AccessLevel]. I've also tried changing it to:
Stringy = "[Sensitivity] >= " & [txtaccess]
but that doesn't work either
I was able to fix the problem by setting applying a filter for sensitivity on the actual forms On_Load event rather than the command button. It now works using a next record command button added with the default code/settings!
Does MS Access allow to get the recordsource value of the form without opening the form itself? I'm trying to optimize my code as of now, what I did is I just hide the form then get the Recordsource form query but it takes time to load since some of the forms trigger a code upon onload.
I'm late to the game here - I sometimes post answers months or years after the original question was posted, as I post my own solutions when a quick search of the 'Stack finds questions relevant to my own problem of the day, but no answers that I can actually use.
[UPDATE, 06 June 2016]
The 'NameMap' property is not available in document objects from Access 2010 onwards. However, 'Stacker Thunderframe has pointed out that this is now available in the 'MsysNameMap' table.
I have amended the code, and this works in Access 2010 and 2013.
[/UPDATE]
Most of a form's properties are only available when the form is open, but some are available in the form's entry in the DAO Documents collection.
The DAO 'document' is a horrible object: it won't persist in memory and you have to refer to it explicitly every time you use it:
FormName = "MyForm"
For i = 0 To Application.CodeDb.Containers("Forms").Documents(FormName).Properties.Count - 1
Debug.Print i & vbTab & Application.CodeDb.Containers("Forms").Documents(FormName).Properties(i).Name & vbTab & vbTab & Application.CodeDb.Containers("Forms").Documents(FormName).Properties(i).Value
Next
Run that snippet for your form, and you'll see a 'NameMap' property that contains a list of the form's controls, and some of the form's properties.
...In a truly horrible format which needs a binary parser. You might want to stop reading and take an aspirin, right now, before continuing.
Health Warnings:
The NameMap Property is undocumented. It is therefore unsupported and there is no guarantee that this solution will work in future versions of Microsoft Access.
The solution in my code below will stop working if the NameMap's two-byte binary label for a Record Source ever changes, or if it's locale-specific.
This is a horrible hack: I accept no liability for any effects on your sanity.
OK, here's the code:
A VBA function to return the Record Source from a closed MS-Access form:
Private Function FormRecordSource_FromNameMap(FormName As String) As String
' Reads the Record Source from the NameMap Property of the Document object for the form.
' WARNING: there is a potential error here: if the form's RecordSource property is blank
' and it has one or more list controls with a .RecordSource property populating
' the list, this function will return the first list control's Record Source.
' This won't work if you're using non-ASCII characters (Char > 255) in your form name.
Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
Dim k As Integer
Dim arrByte() As Byte
Dim strOut As String
If Application.Version < 12 Then
arrByte = Application.CodeDb.Containers("Forms").Documents(FormName).Properties("NameMap").Value
For i = 1 To UBound(arrByte) - 2 Step 2
' 2-byte marker for a querydef in the NameMap:
If (arrByte(i) = 228 And arrByte(i + 1) = 64) Then
j = i + 2
Do While arrByte(j) = 0 And arrByte(j + 1) = 0 And j < UBound(arrByte)
' loop through the null chars between the marker and the start of the string
j = j + 2
Loop
strOut = ""
Do Until (arrByte(j) = 0 And arrByte(j + 1) = 0) Or j >= UBound(arrByte) - 2
If arrByte(j) = 0 Then j = j + 1
' loop until we reach the null char which terminates this string
' appending the Bchars (not unicode Wchars!) of the table or query
strOut = strOut & Chr(arrByte(j))
j = j + 2
Loop
Exit For ' we only want the first datasource
End If
Next i
Else
arrByte = Nz(DLookup("[NameMap]", "[MSYSNameMap]", "[Name] = '" & FormName & "'"), vbNullChar)
If UBound(arrByte) < 4 Then Exit Function
strOut = ""
For j = 60 To UBound(arrByte) - 2 Step 2
If arrByte(j) = 0 And arrByte(j + 1) = 0 Then Exit For
strOut = strOut & Chr(arrByte(j))
Next j
End If
frmRecordSource_FromNameMap = strOut
Erase arrByte
End Function
If you use the RecordSource in (say) OpenRecordset or a DCOUNT function, I would advise you to encapsulate it in square brackets: you might get the name of a hidden query object saved from a 'SELECT' statement in the RecordSource, and that name will contain '~' tilde characters which need special handling.
And now, something extra that you didn't ask for, but other people will be looking for if they Googled their way here for 'MS Access RecordSource for a closed form':
Getting an MS-Access form's RecordSource, whether it's open or not
Most times, your form will be open. Problem is, you don't know that... And if it's a subform, it might not be visible in the Forms() collection. Worse, a form that's hosted as a subform might exist as multiple instances in several open forms.
Good luck with that, if you're looking to extract dynamic properties... Like filters, or the Record Source if it's set 'on the fly' by VBA.
Public Function GetForm(FormName As String, Optional ParentName As String = "") As Form
' Returns a form object, if a form with a name like FormName is open
' FormName can include wildcards.
' Returns Nothing if no matching form is open.

' if more than one subform hosts it; the function returns the first matching

' you need to avoid an error arising from multiple instances of the form.
Dim objForm As Access.Form
If ParentName = "" Then
For Each objForm In Forms
If objForm.Name Like FormName Then
Set GetForm = objForm
Exit Function
End If
Next
End If
If GetForm Is Nothing Then
For Each objForm In Forms
Set GetForm = SearchSubForms(objForm, FormName, ParentName)
If Not GetForm Is Nothing Then
Exit For
End If
Next
End If
End Function
Private Function SearchSubForms(objForm As Access.Form, SubFormName As String, Optional ParentName As String = "") As Form
' Returns a Form object with a name like SubFormName, if the named object SubFormName is subform
' of an open form , or can be recursively enumerated as the subform of an open subform.
' This function returns the first matching Form: note that a form can be instantiated in multiple
' instances if it is used by more than one subform control.
Dim objCtrl As Control
For Each objCtrl In objForm
If TypeName(objCtrl) = "SubForm" Then

Share and enjoy: and please accept my apologies for any unwanted line breaks in the code sample.
One option would be to save the Record Source of the form as a Query. Say you have a form named [AgentForm] whose Record Source is
SELECT ID, AgentName FROM Agents
In your development .accdb copy of the database, open the form in Design View and open the Record Source in the Query Builder. Click the "Save As" button ...
and save the query as "AgentForm_RecordSource". Now the Record Source property of the form is just a reference to the saved query, and the query itself can be accessed directly through a QueryDef object. So, you could retrieve the SQL statement for the form's Record Source with
Dim cdb As DAO.Database, qdf As DAO.QueryDef, sql As String
Set cdb = CurrentDb
Set qdf = cdb.QueryDefs("AgentForm_RecordSource")
sql = qdf.SQL
or you could go ahead and open a Recordset with
Dim cdb As DAO.Database, qdf As DAO.QueryDef, rst As DAO.Recordset
Set cdb = CurrentDb
Set qdf = cdb.QueryDefs("AgentForm_RecordSource")
Set rst = qdf.OpenRecordset
If the form's Record Source is a SELECT statement rather than the name of a table or saved query, you can check the QueryDefs collection for the hidden QueryDef which Access created for that Record Source statement.
If it exists, you can check its .SQL property.
strFormName = "Form15"
? CurrentDb.QueryDefs("~sq_f" & strFormName).SQL
SELECT DISTINCTROW *
FROM [DB Audits];
You can trap error #3265, "Item not found in this collection", which will be thrown if that QueryDef does not exist.
Since you can't open your form in design view and opening your form regularly is causing performance issues, there are but a few more workarounds:
Depending on how you want to check for the closed form's recordsource, you can set a global variable in the following way, in a separate module:
Public glb_getrecordsource As String
Afterwards, depending on how you call the code, you can do the following:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
glb_getrecordsource = "Yes"
DoCmd.OpenForm "Form1"
'... Do something
End Sub
Then, as the final step, put the following at the beginning of your form's OnLoad event:
Private Sub Form_Load()
If glb_getrecordsource = "Yes" Then
glb_getrecordsource = Me.Form.RecordSource
DoCmd.Close acForm, "Form1", acSaveYes
Exit Sub
End If
'... Usual OnLoad events
End Sub
This will at least solve the performance issues, since you will not trigger any of the time consuming events, in the form's load event.
Another workaround:
You can export your form to a .txt file and then search the text file for the recordsource. The following code will export your forms to .txt files in a specified folder:
Dim db As Database
Dim d As Document
Dim c As Container
Dim sExportLocation As String
Set db = CurrentDb()
sExportLocation = "C:\AD\" 'Do not forget the closing back slash! ie: C:\Temp\
Set c = db.Containers("Forms")
For Each d In c.Documents
Application.SaveAsText acForm, d.Name, sExportLocation & "Form_" & d.Name & ".txt"
Next d
Code partly borrowed from this forum. Afterwards, you only have to open the file and search for the recordsource. If the recordsource is empty it will not be exported, so keep that in mind. Also, I doubt this will improve perfomance, but who knows!
I'm in the process of converting an Access Data Project (ADP) into a standard ACCDB format with ODBC linked tables. In the ADP, I had overridden the Refresh button to return the user to the current record by using the following code:
Public Sub RibbonCmd_RefreshScreen(ctl As IRibbonControl, ByRef cancelDefault)
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
cancelDefault = False
DoCmd.Echo False
Dim saveBookmark
With Screen.ActiveForm
saveBookmark = .Bookmark
.Requery
.Bookmark = saveBookmark
End With
'Success - cancel the default behavior
cancelDefault = True
ExitHandler:
DoCmd.Echo True
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
cancelDefault = False
Resume ExitHandler
End Sub
My understanding is that this should work just fine with DAO, but I get error 3159, Not a valid bookmark. I've also tried replacing .Bookmark with .Recordset.Bookmark, but that gave me the same result. Is there something I'm doing wrong here?
Actually, a requery of a form or a requery of a recordset will re-set and invalidate book marks.
So such book marks are no longer valid after a requery.
So the best approach here will depend on either
a) I simply want to re-display any changed records (and not move off current record).
b) I simply want to re-display any changed records AND ALSO display new records (the new records is the critical part).
If you just need a refresh, then you can use the appropriately called command refresh.
Eg:
Me.Refresh
Or in your case
Screen.ActiveForm.Refresh
So the above is ONE line of code and is ALL you need. The current record pointer for the form does NOT change when you use this command. All and any record changed will re-display for you.
Note that since you can behind the form button use:
Me.Refresh
Then LITTLE need is required to call a general routine as you have written.
However, if you need the form to "load" or display any new records added, then you DO have to use requery. In this case as noted book marks in this case all become invalid.
So, for code to requery, then we use the PK value (and hopefully you used the default pk of ID that been the default for 20 years). The code would then become:
Dim lngID As Long
If IsNull(Me!ID) Then Exit Sub
lngID = Me!ID
Me.Requery
Me.Recordset.FindFirst "id = " & lngID
Now of course if the PK id is not the same for each form, then you most certainly could pass the NAME of the PK value to your "general" refresh routine. It would look like:
Public Sub MyRefresh(strPK As String)
Dim lngID As Long
If IsNull(Me(strPK)) Then Exit Sub
lngID = Me(strPK)
Me.Requery
Me.Recordset.FindFirst strPK & " = " & lngID
End Sub
The "hope" here is you actually really JUST need refresh, since as noted this is only one line of code, and better yet it does NOT move the record pointer.
I use VB6 and Visual Data Manager in development. I have had the same problem. Most probably it arose when 2 users tried to update the same record in the same time. So some fields in the table are corrupted.
Here are the steps I used to solve the problem:
1- Copy the structure of the table (lets call it table1)to another table (lets call it table2).
2- Find the correpted record(s) in table1.
3- Transfer the data from table1 to table2 except the corrupted record(s)
4- Reenter the excluded record(s) to table2 again.
5- Rename table1 table3
6- Rename table2 table1
That's all folk

I have used the forms Recordset.AbsolutePosition, and this works fine e.g. in the OnKeyDown exit of a field
Dim PrefilterPosition As Long
Private Sub ValnSubject_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
' Not F2 - exit
If KeyCode <> vbKeyF2 Then Exit Sub
' Get the active control
Dim ActiveCtl As Control
Set ActiveCtl = Me.ActiveControl
ActiveControlName = ActiveCtl.Name
' Is the form's filter set?
If Me.Filter = "" Then
' NO: Apply the new filter
' Note the current position in the recordset
PrefilterPosition = Me.Recordset.AbsolutePosition
' Set the filter to the Active control's value
Me.Filter = "[" & ActiveCtl.ControlSource & "]='" & ActiveCtl.Value & "'"
Me.FilterOn = Me.Filter <> ""
Me.Requery
Else
' YES: Clear the filter
Me.Filter = ""
Me.FilterOn = Me.Filter <> ""
Me.Requery
' Align the recordset on the previously stored position
Me.Recordset.AbsolutePosition = PrefilterPosition
End If
' Restore the cursor to where it came from
Me.Controls(ActiveControlName).SetFocus
Ex_it:
End Sub
For context: this code was from an idea for an 'Instant Filter', where you position the cursor on a field in a tab form, press F2, and then a filter is applied so you see only records with the selected field's value. Press F2 again and the filter is removed and the cursor goes back into the place it was when you hit F2 the first time. Bookmarks do not work here, as Albert says above.
I have a continuous access form with record selectors enabled. Here's the code for the btnPrintReceipt click event handler. I want it to get the ReceiptID of each selected record and open the report with those id's. The problem is, when you click the command button, it deselects all the records (I see it happen) and only keeps the top one available.
Private Sub btnPrintReceipt_Click()
'Build filter string containing all selected receipt ids
Dim FilterString As String
'Move to first record
Dim rsReceipts As Recordset
Set rsReceipts = Me.RecordsetClone
rsReceipts.Move Me.SelTop - 1
'Cycle through and record
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To Me.SelHeight
FilterString = FilterString & "([ReceiptNumber]=" & rsReceipts![ReceiptNumber] & ") OR "
rsReceipts.MoveNext
Next
'Remove trailing or
Dim NewStringLenth As Integer
NewStringLenth = Len(FilterString) - 4
If NewStringLenth > 0 Then
FilterString = Left(FilterString, NewStringLenth)
Else
FilterString = ""
End If
'Open the report
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptReceipt", acViewPreview, "", FilterString
End Sub
Microsoft has a fairly long article on How to enumerate selected form records in Access 2000, which will also work with later versions. The article includes code for running on a command button.
I have a form which includes a data sheet. I would like to make it possible for a user to select multiple rows, click on a button and have some sql query run and perform some work on those rows.
Looking through my VBA code, I see how I can access the last selected record using the CurrentRecord property. Yet I don't see how I can know which rows were selected in a multiple selection. (I hope I'm clear...)
What's the standard way of doing this? Access VBA documentation is somewhat obscure on the net...
Thanks!
I used the technique similar to JohnFx
To trap the Selection height before it disappears I used the Exit event of the subform control in the Main form.
So in the Main form:
Private Sub MySubForm_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
With MySubForm.Form
m_SelNumRecs = .SelHeight
m_SelTopRec = .SelTop
m_CurrentRec = .CurrentRecord
End With
End Sub
Here is the code to do it, but there is a catch.
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim i As Long
Dim RS As Recordset
Dim F As Form
Set F = Me.sf.Form
Set RS = F.RecordsetClone
If F.SelHeight = 0 Then Exit Sub
' Move to the first selected record.
RS.Move F.SelTop - 1
For i = 1 To F.SelHeight
MsgBox RS![myfield]
RS.MoveNext
Next i
End Sub
Here's the catch:
If the code is added to a button, as soon as the user clicks that button, the selection is lost in the grid (selheight will be zero). So you need to capture that info and save it to a module level variable either with a timer or other events on the form.
Here is an article describing how to work around the catch in some detail.
http://www.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0033.htm
Catch 2: This only works with contiguous selections. They can't select mutliple non-sequential rows in the grid.
Update:
There might be a better event to trap this, but here is a working implementation using the form.timerinterval property that i have tested (at least in Access 2k3, but 2k7 should work just fine)
This code goes in the SUBFORM, use the property to get the selheight value in the master form.
Public m_save_selheight As Integer
Public Property Get save_selheight() As Integer
save_selheight = m_save_selheight
End Property
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Me.TimerInterval = 500
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Timer()
m_save_selheight = Me.selheight
End Sub
I've tried doing something like that before, but I never had any success with using a method that required the user to select multiple rows in the same style as a Windows File Dialog box (pressing Ctrl, Shift, etc.).
One method I've used is to use two list boxes. The user can double click on an item in the left list box or click a button when an item is selected, and it will move to the right list box.
Another option is to use a local table that is populated with your source data plus boolean values represented as checkboxes in a subform. After the user selects which data they want by clicking on checkboxes, the user presses a button (or some other event), at which time you go directly to the underlying table of data and query only those rows that were checked. I think this option is the best, though it requires a little bit of code to work properly.
Even in Access, I find sometimes it's easier to work with the tables and queries directly rather than trying to use the built-in tools in Access forms. Sometimes the built-in tools don't do exactly what you want.
A workaround to the selection loss when the sub form loses the focus is to save the selection in the Exit event (as already mentioned by others).
A nice addition is to restore it immediately, using timer, so that the user is still able to see the selection he made.
Note: If you want to use the selection in a button handler, the selection may not be restored already when it executes. Make sure to use the saved values from the variables or add a DoEvents at the beginning of the button handler to let the timer handler execute first.
Dim m_iOperSelLeft As Integer
Dim m_iSelTop As Integer
Dim m_iSelWidth As Integer
Dim m_iSelHeight As Integer
Private Sub MySubForm_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
m_iSelLeft = MySubForm.Form.SelLeft
m_iSelTop = MySubForm.Form.SelTop
m_iSelWidth = MySubForm.Form.SelWidth
m_iSelHeight = MySubForm.Form.SelHeight
TimerInterval = 1
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Timer()
TimerInterval = 0
MySubForm.Form.SelLeft = m_iSelLeft - 1
MySubForm.Form.SelTop = m_iSelTop
MySubForm.Form.SelWidth = m_iSelWidth
MySubForm.Form.SelHeight = m_iSelHeight
End Sub
There is another solution.
The code below will show the number of selected rows as soon as you release the mouse button.
Saving this value will do the trick.
Private Sub Form_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
MsgBox Me.SelHeight
End Sub
Use a Global variable in the form, then refer to that in the button code.
Dim g_numSelectedRecords as long
Private Sub Form_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
g_numSelectedRecords = Me.SelHeight
End Sub
Dim formRecords As DAO.Recordset
Dim i As Long
Set formRecords = Me.RecordsetClone
' Move to the first record in the recordset.
formRecords.MoveFirst
' Move to the first selected record.
formRecords.Move Me.SelTop - 1
For i = 1 To numSelectedRecords
formRecords.Edit
formRecords.Fields("Archived") = True
formRecords.Update
formRecords.MoveNext
Next i
Why not use an array or recordset and then every time the user clicks on a row (either contiguous or not, save that row or some identifier into the recordset. Then when they click the button on the parent form, simply iterate the recordset that was saved to do what you want. Just don't forget to clear the array or recordset after the button is clicked.?
Another workaround to keeping the selection while attempting to execute a procedure - Instead of leaving the datasheet to activate a button, just use the OnKeyDown event and define a specific keycode and shift combination to execute your code.
The code provided by JohnFx works well. I implemented it without a timer this way (MS-Access 2003):
1- Set the Form's Key Preview to Yes
2- put the code in a function
3- set the event OnKeyUp and OnMouseUp to call the function.
