I have a database built in access
I need to create a button where I click it and it will open a folder related to Employee ID
the problem is that the employee's folders are named as John Mich 000321 where the 000321 is john Employee Id
Try below sub
Private Sub cmdOpenEmpFolder_Click()
Dim partialName As String, partialFolder As String
Dim folderName As String
Dim folderfullPath As String
partialName = CStr(Me.txtEmployeeID)
partialFolder = Application.CurrentProject.Path & "\"
folderName = Dir(partialFolder & "*" & partialName, vbDirectory)
folderfullPath = partialFolder & folderName
Debug.Print "explorer.exe " & Chr(34) & folderfullPath & Chr(34)
Shell "explorer.exe " & Chr(34) & folderfullPath & Chr(34), vbNormalFocus
End Sub

I have been struggling to output the PDF report to the relevant folder within the server. The error which is showing is
RunTime error 3201, no record found.
Could you please help me to solve it?
Dim RFQNumber As String
Dim InNumber As String
Dim FullReportName As String
Dim path1 As String
RFQNumber = [Forms]![RFQ_Database]![RFQ_ExNumber]
InNumber = [Forms]![RFQ_Database]![RFQ_InNumber]
path1 = "\\AZBAK-FP02\Work\Old Server Data\V&C\" & RFQNumber & "\" & RFQNumber & " " & InNumber & ".pdf"
MsgBox (path1)
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "AOrderFCAVienna", "PDFFormat(*.pdf)", path1, False
I believe the ampersand in the directory path is causing the issue.
ath1 = "\\AZBAK-FP02\Work\Old Server Data\V&C\" & RFQNumber & "\" & RFQNumber & " " & InNumber & ".pdf"
^^^
you may need to add chr code
ath1 = "\\AZBAK-FP02\Work\Old Server Data\V" & Chr(38) & "C\" & RFQNumber & "\" & RFQNumber & " " & InNumber & ".pdf"

I am trying to rename folders based upon a template that a user will fill out. The user will specify the old name of the folder and what it will be updated to. There are bunch of sub folders that also get the name change.
I have confirmed that the folders exist and in the locations that they should be so I don't understand why this is failing. I have also tried using FileSystem objects and get the same problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sub UpdateMain()
'string capture variables
Dim currentLocation As String
Dim currentName As String
Dim customerNumber As String
Dim newName As String
'path creation variables
Dim rootPath As String
Dim currentPath As String
Dim newPath As String

Dim i As Integer
With wsUpdate
currentLocation = .Range("B1")
currentName = .Range("B2")
customerNumber = .Range("B3")
newName = .Range("B5")
End With
'create path and folder for the root folder
rootPath = currentLocation & "\" & currentName & " (" & customerNumber & ")"
'edit all subfolders prior to root folder
i = 0
With wsUpdate.Range("A8")
Do Until .Offset(i, 0) = ""
If .Offset(i, 1) = "Customer" Then
currentPath = rootPath & "\" & currentName & " " & .Offset(i, 0)
newPath = rootPath & "\" & newName & " " & .Offset(i, 0)
Else
currentPath = rootPath & "\" & currentName & " " & .Offset(i, 1) & "\" & currentName & " " & .Offset(i, 0)
newPath = rootPath & "\" & newName & " " & .Offset(i, 1) & "\" & newName & " " & .Offset(i, 0)
End If
Call FolderNameEdit(currentPath, newPath)

Loop
End With

End Sub

End Sub
I keep getting

The error occurs on line:

Check folders before renaming:
Sub FolderNameEdit(currentPath As String, newPath As String)
If Dir(currentPath, vbDirectory) = vbNullString Then

I'm able to use the below code to download files from server. However, this does tell me whether the files are downloaded successfully.
Sub DownloadFirstRunFilesPart2()
Application.StatusBar = "Downloading files..."
Dim wsh As Object
Dim errorcode4 As Integer
Dim cmd5 As Variant
Dim FirstRunFiles(5) As Variant
Dim var As Variant
FirstRunFiles(0) = ProN & "_KSParameter_UserInput.xlsx"
FirstRunFiles(1) = ProN & "_KSParameter_SysOutput.xlsx"
FirstRunFiles(2) = ProN & "_ModelParameter_UserInput.xlsx"
FirstRunFiles(3) = ProN & "_ModelParameter_SysOutput.xlsx"
FirstRunFiles(4) = ProN & "_VarClusParameter_UserInput.xlsx"
FirstRunFiles(5) = ProN & "_VarClusParameter_SysOutput.xlsx"
For Each var In FirstRunFiles
cmd5 = Chr(34) & "C:\Program Files (x86)" & "\PuTTY\pscp.exe" & Chr(34) & " -sftp -l " & pUser & " -pw " & pPass & _
" " & " " & pHost & ":" & ServerPath & "/" & var & " " & LocalPath & "\"
Set wsh = CreateObject("wscript.shell")
errorcode4 = wsh.Run(cmd5, vbHide)
'If errorcode4 = 0 Then MsgBox ("Error occurs. Fail to download " & var)
Next var
Application.StatusBar = "Download complete"
MsgBox ("Downloading process complete.")
End Sub
My error code always equals 0 no matter the file exists or not. How should I change this program?
Thanks in advance!
Update:
The new code that I tried:
Sub test()
Dim wsh As Object
Dim WshShellExec As Variant
Dim cmd3 As String
Dim pFirstRunFile1 As String
Const WshFinished = 1
Const WshFailed = 2
pFirstRunFile1 = "this_proj_name.txt"
cmd3 = Chr(34) & "C:\Program Files (x86)" & "\PuTTY\pscp.exe" & Chr(34) & " -sftp -l " & pUser & " -pw " & pPass & _
" " & " " & pHost & ":" & ServerPath & "/WOE/" & pFirstRunFile1 & " " & LocalPath & "\WOE"
Set wsh = CreateObject("wscript.shell")
WshShellExec = wsh.Exec(cmd3)
Select Case WshShellExec.Status
Case WshFinished
strOutput = WshShellExec.StdOut.ReadAll
Case WshFailed
strOutput = WshShellExec.StdErr.ReadAll
End Select
MsgBox strOutput 'write results in a message box
End Sub
However I'm getting error on this line:
WshShellExec = wsh.Exec(cmd3)
The error message says "Object does not support this property or method". Any ideas?
I am trying to call a .bat file from VBA using: however I am getting Method Run of object IWshShell3 failed with the line in asteriks highlighted. I am not familiar with this error and don't know where to begin. I am running VB in excel 2010. Thank you :).

EDIT
The code runs but exits with error code 1. Basically, what I am trying to do is have the user enter a barcode and date, those values are used to change the directory to that. A batch file is called that runs a perl script on that directory. The batch file is not being called and I'm not sure why. Thank you :).

Note
explicitly run cmd /c;
enclose batch script (fully qualified) name in double quotes;
get (and treat) errrCode from called batch script.
If your batch script requires paramer(s), use them as follows (an example):
errrCode = wsh.Run( "cmd /C ""C:\Users\cmccabe\Desktop\NxClinical.bat"" par1 ""par 2""" _

Another example:
errrCode = wsh.Run( "cmd /C ""C:\Users\cmccabe\Desktop\NxClinical.bat"" " _

I have written the code below, currently it creates a folder. However I would like to save the same word doc to that folder. Any pointers on where I am going wrong??
Thanks
Sub newfold()
Dim strNewFolderName As String
strNewFolderName = "New Folder " & (Month(Now())) & " " & Year(Now)
If Len(Dir("c:\Users\Jabaar\Documents\" & strNewFolderName, vbDirectory)) = 0 Then
MkDir ("c:\Users\Jabaar\Documents\" & strNewFolderName)
End If
Dim PathName As String
PathName = ("New Folder " & MonthName(Month(Now())) & " " & Year(Now))
ActiveDocument.SaveAs "c:\Users\Jabaar\Documents\" & "(strNewFolderName)" + ".doc"
End Sub
Just replace
ActiveDocument.SaveAs "c:\Users\Jabaar\Documents\" & "(strNewFolderName)" + ".doc"
with
ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:="c:\Users\Jabaar\Documents\" & strNewFolderName & "\" & Split(ActiveDocument.Name, ".")(0) & ".doc", _
FileFormat:=wdFormatDocument
where Split(ActiveDocument.Name, ".")(0) takes current name of file without extension. You could replace it with desired name:
ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName:="c:\Users\Jabaar\Documents\" & strNewFolderName & "\" & "newFile.doc", _
FileFormat:=wdFormatDocument
This is what have done and it seems work.
ActiveDocument.SaveAs "c:\Users\Jabaar\Documents\" & strNewFolderName & "\" & "test" + ".doc
The solution #simoco provided is what I was looking for, so thanks for confirming the formatting of it #simoco
