I would like to display all the attached documents on a record in a repeating form. The answer posted by Remou works (link below), but not on a web Access db.
Display multiple attachments in microsoft access 2010 forms and reports
Does anyone know of a way for me to do this either in a report or a form or do I have to click on the attachment window every time I want to see what documents are attached?
Cheers,
Tony

I have a lot of pictures that is going to be hosted online on a dedicated server. Is there a way for me to retrieve URL's from these images and attach them to Access fields automatically?
Edit:
I want to add about 1000 pictures taken from a cell phone to a Hostgator server. The cell phone is already connected to a computer which can access all the images taken from the phone. Let's say the product is a book which has field name of Name, Price and Image. I don't know exactly how the automation would work but I was thinking of something like this:
The user inserts the name of the book and the price of the book but in the place of the image the user clicks a button which uploads the image to Hostgator and also retrieves the URL of the image from there and pastes it into the field.
I have limited experience in Access and VBA so I don't know if something like this is possible. Any other alternative to store image online and get the url pasted to the image field will be greatly appreciated.
I have no knowledge about Hostgator nor the upload process, but the download part can be resolved as explained in detail in my article with full code and demos:
Show pictures directly from URLs in Access forms and reports
Code is too much to post here, but it can also always be found at GitHub:
VBA.PictureUrl
I'm just wondering if it is possible to output data from a webpage to MS word? I'm trying to have a link on my webpage(HTML/JSP code), when clicked this automatically opens the MS word application and builds a report inside Word based on information stored in my database(MS Access). So the report can be easily edited before printed. This database is linked to my HTML/JSP coded website. Is this possible? Any help would be much appreciated, Thanks.
I'm maintaining a VBA application in Access and a big part of this program is to make PDF's and email. I've already coded to create a PDF with PDF995, but the problem is that it keeps prompting where to save and a bunch of other questions.
Is there any solution that allows me to create PDF's in the background without prompting the user anything? I know where it needs to be saved, I know how it's going to be named, so that's not the problem.
Which Access version are you using?
In Access 2007 and above you can create PDF files out of the box, without stuff like prompting where to save.
Here's an example:
Execute Access 2007 Report and Export that Report to PDF Programmatically?
Note that in Access 2007, you have to install an add-in in order for this to work!
For Access 2003 and below, there's Steven Lebans' ReportToPDF.
So I have a table on a sharepoint site that another party updates with new items (spreadsheet style)
I also (currently) have an excel sheet that has reviews of each item that is on said sharepoint site.
The trick is things are added and deleted from the sharepoint site and I need to be able to track what is added and what is deleted so I know what I need to review. Orginally I did this on excell but I had to realign the reviews when things were added or taken out of the sharepoint site (a lengthy process) so someone suggested access but I am having issues trying to find a good tutorial that answer how I could do this.
my thought was to create access database that imported the columns from the sharepoint site and that I could just append more collumns to the end of it to add in my review comments. Would this work?
ultimately I would like to have my reviews put up on another sharepoint site.
Sharepoint can send emails when things change.
If you want to know how to see sharepoint data in MsAccess you can see sharepoint-msaccess-synchronization:
I am aware that within Access you can send a report as an e-mail attachment with
DoCmd.SendObject
However, all the text I have read says you cannot add attachments (other than the report you are adding). So there is another set of web articles which go on to describe how to use vba to send an outlook e-mail message.
The report is a letter, and the other attachments I need to add are pdf's with maps in them, selecting which pdf depends on some other criteria.
I am thinking about enhancing the report to have the other attachments in the report, but I think that could be more trouble, so my ideal would be to avoid that if I can. The question is can I?
You could save the report as a PDF using this code:
Save Report as PDF File
Then use the Outlook VBA code you have to send the report along with the other files you need to send.
If you need specific help writing the code, please update your question with more details such as file location, Office version, what code you were planning to use, etc.
