I have this code on the OnClick_Event of a button on a form to Create a folder on my pc.
On Error Resume Next
Dim fs, cf, strFolder
Dim FolderName As String
FolderName = DLookup("F_SNr", "tblFahrzeug", "F_SNr = '" & Me.F_SNr.Value & "'")
strFolder = "C:\Users\IQeov95\Desktop\All Data\" & FolderName & ""
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If fs.FolderExists(strFolder) = True Then
MsgBox "'" & strFolder & "' already exists!"
Else
Set cf = fs.CreateFolder(strFolder)
If fs.FolderExists(strFolder) = True Then
MsgBox "'" & strFolder & "' successfully created!"
Else
MsgBox "'" & strFolder & "' was not created successfully!"
End If
End If
The code works just fine as long as the path is on my pc. How does the "strFolder" variable has to look like to create the folder on my SharePoint? I've tryed entering the SharePoint link but that didnt work. Also i tryed using the MkDir command but got the Run Time Error 76: Path not found.
Thanks for any help in advance!

I have the following Module in Access:
On Error Resume Next
Dim strDir As String
Dim strFile As String
Dim I As Long
I = 0
strDir = "C:\excelTest\"
strFile = Dir(strDir & "*.xlsx")
While strFile <> ""
I = I + 1
strFile = strDir & strFile
Debug.Print "importing " & strFile
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, , "mainTable", strFile, False 'has columnheaders
strFile = Dir()
Wend
MsgBox "Load Finished"
importExcelSheets = I
End Function
This imports the data from the xlsx files within the directory (C:\excelTest). This all works fine, but how can I add an additional field which stores the directory and file?
ie. If I have a file test.xlsx during the import a field is created and the path C:\excelTest\test.xlsx is stored.
After records are imported, run an SQL UPDATE action with criteria that distinguishes those new records from previously existing, possibly a date value. Something like:
CurrentDb.Execute "UPDATE tablename SET fieldname = '" & strFile & "' WHERE datefield = #" & <some date input here> & "#"
I'm trying to create a list of files in a specific directory folder where I am renaming the files, but because there is a chance some files should not be renamed, I only need to rename the PDF files that begin with the letters "AB".
The renaming works fine, I just need to make sure it only renames specific files.

I am using MS Access Forms and I am trying to open a file but don't know how to open the file based knowing only part of the name. Example below works
Private Sub Open_Email_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdExplore_Click
Dim x As Long
Dim strFileName As String
strFileName = "C:\data\office\policy num\20180926 S Sales 112.32.msg"
strApp = """C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\Outlook.exe"""
If InStr(strFileName, " ") > 0 Then strFileName = """" & strFileName & """"
x = Shell(strApp & " /f " & strFileName)
Exit_cmdExplore_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_cmdExplore_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_cmdExplore_Click
End Sub
If I change the strFilename to being
strFileName = "C:\data\" & Me.Office & "\" & Me.nm & " " & Me.pol & "\" & "*"& " S Sales " & Me.amt & "*" & ".msg"
It includes the * rather than using it as a wildcard, the date/numbers can be anything or in another format but always eight numbers. I tried using a while loop on the numbers but I am not sure the best way of doing this sorry.
You can use the Dir function to iterate over all files that match a string pattern.
strApp = """C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\Outlook.exe"""
Dim strFilePattern As String
strFilePattern ="C:\data\" & Me.Office & "\" & Me.nm & " " & Me.pol & "\" & "*"& " S Sales " & Me.amt & "*" & ".msg"
Dim strFileName As String
strFileName = Dir(strFilePattern)
Do While Not strFileName = vbNullString
If InStr(strFileName, " ") > 0 Then strFileName = """" & strFileName & """"
x = Shell(strApp & " /f " & strFileName)
strFileName = Dir
Loop
The first call to Dir with the pattern as a parameter will find the first file that matches the pattern supplied. All subsequent calls without the pattern will return the next file that matches the pattern.
So, lets rebuild the question a bit. Imagine that you are having the following 5 files in a given folder:
A:\peter.msg
A:\bstack.msg
A:\coverflow.msg
A:\heter.msg
A:\beter.msg
and you need to find the files, that correspond to "A:\*eter.msg" and print them.
For this, you need to use the keyword Like:
Sub TestMe()
Dim someNames As Variant
someNames = Array("A:\peter.msg", "A:\bstack.msg", _
"A:\coverflow.msg", "A:\heter.msg", "A:\beter.msg")
Dim cnt As Long
For cnt = LBound(someNames) To UBound(someNames)
If someNames(cnt) Like "A:\*eter.msg" Then
Debug.Print someNames(cnt)
End If
Next
End Sub
Loop through files in a folder using VBA?
I want to monitor a drive for file changes, using VBScript. I have the below code. It works fine for InstanceCreationEvent and InstanceDeletionEvent. But InstanceModificationEvent is not happening. From googling I got to know we need to use CIM_DataFile instead of CIM_DirectoryContainsFile to monitor InstanceModificationEvent. I am not sure how to modify the code. Can anyone help.
FYI: One script should monitor all the folders and subfolders in a drive.
PS: Any suggestion to improve the code and performance or other ideas also welcome.
My Code:
Dim arrFolders
Dim strComputer
Dim objWMIService
Dim strFolder
Dim strCommand
Dim i
Dim strQuery
strChangeFile = "MonitorFolder_Log.txt"
strMailIDFile = "MonitorFolder_MailIDs.txt"
'Check if the log file exists, if not ceate a new file and exit the script. Restart the script again.
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If not oFSO.FileExists(strChangeFile) then
'WScript.Echo "Change Log File Not Found. Creating new file..."
Set oTxtFile = oFSO.CreateTextFile(strChangeFile)
WScript.Echo strChangeFile & " File Created." & vbCrLf & "Please restart the script." & vbCrLf
WScript.Quit
End If
'Prompt for which drive should be monitored. If not a valid drive, then exit the script.
strDrive = InputBox("Enter the drive to monitor: " & vbCrLf & "E.g.: Input C to monitor C:\ drive.", "Monitor Folder - Oracle", "E")
If strDrive = "" then
WScript.Echo "Not a valid drive. Terminating the script."
WScript.Quit
End If
'Append ":" with the drive name.
strDrive = strDrive & ":"
'Read the mail IDs.
Set objFSOMailID = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set oTSMailID = objFSOMailID.OpenTextFile(strMailIDFile)
strMailIDsList = oTSMailID.ReadAll
oTSMailID.close
'WScript.Echo strMailIDsList
'Array to store the existing folder paths that should be monitored.
arrFolders = Array()
i = 0
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
ShowSubfolders FSO.GetFolder(strDrive)
Sub ShowSubFolders(Folder)
For Each Subfolder in Folder.SubFolders
i = i + 1
folderPath = "" & Subfolder.Path & ""
folderPath = Replace(folderPath ,"\","\\\\")
ReDim Preserve arrFolders(i)
arrFolders(i) = folderPath
'Wscript.Echo i & " " & arrFolders(i)
ShowSubFolders Subfolder
Next
End Sub
'Set the first path to be the drive.
arrFolders(0) = strDrive & "\\\\"
'Use WMI query to get the file changes.
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\CIMV2")
'Loop throught the array of folders setting up the monitor for Each
i = 0
For Each strFolder In arrFolders

strCommand = "Sub SINK" & i & "_OnObjectReady(objObject, " & "objAsyncContext)" & vbLf _
& " 'Wscript.Echo objObject.TargetInstance.PartComponent" & vbLf _
& " SendNotification(objObject)" & vbLf _
& "End Sub"
'WScript.Echo strCommand
ExecuteGlobal strCommand
i = i + 1
Next
'Wait for events.
WScript.Echo "Waiting for events..."

While (True)
Wscript.Sleep(1000)

Function SendNotification(objObject)

Monitoring the entire filesystem for file creation is not feasible. It will eat up system resources and might severly affect system operation. Only ever monitor selected folders. The following should work:
Const Interval = 1
Set monitor = CreateMonitor("C:\foo")
Do
Set evt = monitor.NextEvent()
Select Case evt.Path_.Class
Case "__InstanceCreationEvent" : SendNotification evt.TargetInstance
Case "__InstanceModificationEvent" : ...
Case "__InstanceDeletionEvent" : ...
End Select
Loop
Function CreateMonitor(path)
Set wmi = GetObject("winmgmts://./root/cimv2")
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
path = Split(fso.GetAbsolutePathName(path), ":")
drv = path(0) & ":"
dir = Replace(path(1), "\", "\\")
If Right(dir, 2) <> "\\" Then dir = dir & "\\"
query = "SELECT * FROM __InstanceOperationEvent" & _
" WITHIN " & Interval & _
" WHERE Targetinstance ISA 'CIM_DataFile'" & _
" AND TargetInstance.Drive='" & drv & "'" & _
" AND TargetInstance.Path='" & dir & "'"
Set CreateMonitor = wmi.ExecNotificationQuery(query)
End Function
Sub SendNotification(tgtInst)
'send notification
End Sub
You should run monitors for different folders as separate processes, because NextEvent() is a blocking operation.
I have a Sub within my application that is currently located within a userform called FRMPFC_folderCreatorWindow. For clarity of the overall application I wish to move this Sub from the userform into a Module called PFC_filesystemManipulation and call the Sub from there via a button in FRMPFC_folderCreatorWindow however, when I do this and run my code, an error is generated at the line:
For Each cCont In Me.Controls
I understand that this is because the Sub has been taken outside of the context of the form however, how do I maintain context without using Me.Controls? I'm guessing I need to reference the form and use FRMPFC_folderCreatorWindow.Controls but as most of the controls are nested within frames I'm unsure whether my current code acts upon the form or just the frame within which the button is located. Any help would be much appreciated.
Private Sub PFC_createFolders(Basepath, currentControl, parentFolder, parentGroup)
Dim cCont As Control
Dim createSubFolder As String
Dim fs As Object
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Check if the project folder already exists and if so, raise an error and exit
MkDir Basepath & "\" & parentFolder
'Create the superceded documents folder in every 2nd generation folder
MkDir Basepath & "\" & parentFolder & "\" & "_Old versions"
For Each cCont In Me.Controls
If TypeName(cCont) = "CheckBox" Then
If cCont.GroupName = parentGroup Then
If cCont.Value = True Then
If cCont.Name <> currentControl Then
createSubFolder = cCont.Caption
NewFolder = Basepath & "\" & parentFolder & "\" & createSubFolder
If fs.folderexists(NewFolder) Then
'do nothing
Else
'Create 3rd generation folder
MkDir NewFolder
'Create the superceded documents folder in every 3rd generation folder
MkDir NewFolder & "\" & "_Old versions"
'Create hard-coded subfolders within Confirmit Exports
If createSubFolder = "Confirmit Exports" Then
MkDir Basepath & "\" & parentFolder & "\" & createSubFolder & "\Triple S"
MkDir Basepath & "\" & parentFolder & "\" & createSubFolder & "\Word Export"
MkDir Basepath & "\" & parentFolder & "\" & createSubFolder & "\Survey Definition"
MkDir Basepath & "\" & parentFolder & "\" & createSubFolder & "\Data"
MkDir Basepath & "\" & parentFolder & "\" & createSubFolder & "\Data" & "\" & "Early Data"
MkDir Basepath & "\" & parentFolder & "\" & createSubFolder & "\Data" & "\" & "Final Data"
End If
End If
End If
End If
End If
End If
Next cCont
End Sub
I've just experimented with this and replacing the Me.Controls with the following code works:
FRMPFC_folderCreatorWindow.Controls
