    Internet Explorer "scrape"

    Using all of the great information you have provided (thank you, btw!) I managed to get the names of the text box and both command buttons on the google page. Now, using the code below, I am able to capture what is in the text box: Private Sub Command2_Click() Dim myHTMLDoc As...

    Internet Explorer "scrape"

    So far, that's getting me on the right track. I've got a sample db that has the web page loaded on a form, but my main hurdle is capturing what is entered in the webpage. For example, if my users were performing searches on Google, I'd want to be able to capture what they have typed in the...

    Internet Explorer "scrape"

    Hey guys, I've been searching all over for a sample IE scrape and I came across one that works...kind of. This one pulls all of the pages HTML into a variable, which is great, but not exactly what I need. I need to be able to pull what information is selected in any combo boxes/typed in text...

    ActiveX & Word files

    Hey guys, Does anyone happen to know what ActiveX control to use to view .doc files in Access? Or if there is a better way to handle this, that'd work too. I've been searching around and got nothing. Thanks! **edit** You know, if I had spent just a few more minutes searching, I'd have come...

    Database Automation help

    Hey guys, I'm trying to make this new process require the least amount of manual intervention by having the user open 2 of the 10 databases used. The user would open databases 1 & 5, and the databases would open the next in succession (2-4, 6-10) in a new instance of Access. Problem is, when...

    Can't separate my city from state and zip..

    Hey guys, I've got a module that breaks up a line of an address to separate city, state, and zip. It works great on single word cities like Denver or Atlanta, but with two or more words (Green Bay, West Palm Beach, etc) it bombs out. Can anyone take a peek and see how this could be adjusted...

    Change format of name?

    Hey guys, Quick question: I have a table (tbl1) that has names stored in the format "last, first mi" and a linked table (tbl2) that has other information I need, but the names are "first mi last" format. To have my query work, since it'll be based on name, I need to format tbl1 to match tbl2...

    Could not delete from specified tables. (Error 3086)

    Hey guys, I'm trying to build a delete query that will remove records in my main table that match any stored in my history table. The problem is that I keep getting the following no matter how I try to build the thing: My gripe: No one else has this database, it's not open read only, and I...

    Disable checkbox when another is selected?

    Hey guys, I know this sounds simple to do, but here's what I'm trying to tackle: I have 15 (yes 15!) checkboxes on this spreadsheet. Boxes 1-3 belong to the same "family" and boxes 4-15 belong to a different "family". The user has to make a selection from both "families" in order to...

    Import CSV with wildcard?

    Better idea...Is there a way to look in a directory for all files of a certain extension? If that's possible, maybe I could just do that and import the files where the first 8 digits are todays date? Edit: Found this thread and ghudsons post is exactly what I needed (with minor updating...

    Import CSV with wildcard?

    Hey guys, I'm trying to import a series of .csv files into a table in my database daily. The only issue I'm having (so far!) is that my file names change daily, and it'd be pretty silly to go in and change the code everyday just to run the process. My file name would be something like...

    Hey guys, Is it possible to freeze panes at the top and bottom of a sheet? Example: my workbook has its header in cells A1:F1 and that's locked. My data is entered below, and the totals are displayed in B256:F256. Is there a way to keep my header AND my totals frozen so the only thing you...

    Take control of active application?

    SQL in VBA with a string variable??

    Hey guys, I'm trying to run the module below, but this whole "SQL in VBA" thing is pretty foreign to me. Basically, I have a query that I need to run using a variable (TrNum). Rather than have the user manually change the variable and run the query, I have the TrNum in a table that the user...
