Access VBA Version Check Front End - vba

I am going to be splitting an Access database into a Front End (everything except tables) and Back End (tables only). I will put the Back End file on a network share and distribute the Front End file to each user so they have their own copy. When it comes time to update the Front End I would like a message to appear when they open their version to indicate it is out of date and hopefully prevent any access.
I was thinking of creating a table on the Front End and on the Back End that stores the version number of the Front End (e.g. 1.02). Then when I update the version of the Front End in the table on the Back End the old Front Ends will pop up a message and stop working.
So I created the tables and created a query to show the Front End version number in both the Front End version table and the Back End version table. Now how do I auto run this query and pop up a message and stop access when the version numbers are different???
Is there a better way???
Thank you in advance.

It is much simpler to use a shortcut to launch the application pulling a fresh copy each time from a networked distribution folder. On a modern network it takes a second or so, and the user will always have an updated and non-bloated copy.
All you need is a script. I wrote up once a full article on how to handle this even in a Citrix environment:
Deploy and update a Microsoft Access application in a Citrix environment
The script establishes two copies of the frontend. That you may not need, thus you can reduce the script somewhat:

To move files from multiple source folders to multiple destination folders based on two hour delay

Yesterday we have finalized and tested the code (the first part of the code is VBScript) and the second part of the code is (in Excel VBA) to move file from one source folder to one destination folder successfully based on two hour delay (i.e. each file which will come to source folder will upload 2 hour delay), however the situation is that i have actually 15 source folders and 15 destination folders.
One method is that i should create 15 VBScript files and 15 Excel files that contains the code for each source and destination folder which i believe is not efficient way. I have tried a lot to add multiple source and destination folder options in the below mentioned code(s) but i am not successful, can anyone help me, i will be thankful.
the below mentioned code is VBscript
Dim oExcel, strWB, nameWB, wb
strWB = "E:\Delta\Folder monitor.xlsm"
nameWB = Left(strWB, InStr(StrReverse(strWB), "\") - 1)
nameWB = Right(strWB, Len(nameWB))
Set objExcel = GetObject(,"Excel.Application")
Set wb = objExcel.Workbooks(nameWB)
if wb is nothing then wbscript.quit 'the necessary workbook is not open...
dim strComputer, strDirToMonitor, strTime, objWMIService, colMonitoredEvents, objEventObject, MyFile
strComputer = "."
'# WMI needs two backslashes (\\) as path separator and each of it should be excaped.
'# So, you must use 4 backslashes (\\\\) as path separator!
strDirToMonitor = "E:\\\\Delta\\\\Source" 'use here your path
'# Monitor Above every 10 secs...
strTime = "10"
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

you can see the previous query here on the link Previous Query
Please, use the next scenario. It assumes that you will fill the necessary path in an existing Excel sheet. Since, it will take the necessary paths based on a cell selection, it is necessary to name the sheet in discussion as "Folders". In Column A:A you should fill the 'Source' folder path (ending in backslash "") and in B:B, the 'Destination' folder path (also ending in backslash).
The proposed solution takes the necessary paths based on your selection in A:A column. The 'Destination' path is extracted based on the selection row.
Please, replace the existing string with the next one, adapting the two necessary paths:
Dim oExcel, strWB, nameWB, wb
strWB = "C:\Teste VBA Excel\Folder monitor.xlsm" 'use here your workbook path!!!
nameWB = Left(strWB, InStr(StrReverse(strWB), "\") - 1)

Set wb = objExcel.Workbooks(nameWB)

'# WMI needs two backslashes (\\) as path separator and each of it should be excaped.
'# So, you must use 4 backslashes (\\\\) as path separator!
strDirToMonitor = "C:\\\\test\\\\test" 'use here your path !!!
'# Monitor Above every 10 secs...
strTime = "10"
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colMonitoredEvents = objWMIService.ExecNotificationQuery _

& "Targetinstance ISA 'CIM_DirectoryContainsFile' and " _
& "TargetInstance.GroupComponent= " _
& "'Win32_Directory.Name=" & Chr(34) & strDirToMonitor & Chr(34) & "'")' and " _
' & "'Win32_Directory.Name=" & Chr(34) & strDirToMonitor & Chr(34) & "'")
Do While True
Set objEventObject = colMonitoredEvents.NextEvent()
Select Case objEventObject.Path_.Class
Case "__InstanceCreationEvent"
MyFile = StrReverse(objEventObject.TargetInstance.PartComponent)
' Get the string to the left of the first \ and reverse it
MyFile = (StrReverse(Left(MyFile, InStr(MyFile, "\") - 1)))
MyFile = Mid(MyFile, 1, Len(MyFile) - 1)
'send the information to the waiting workbook:
objExcel.Application.Run "'" & strWB & "'!GetMonitorInformation", Array(MyFile, Now, strDirToMonitor)
End Select
Loop
The adapted script sends also the source path to the waiting workbook...
TerminateMonintoringScript Sub remains exactly as it is.

So, you only need to replace the existing VBA code with the above adapted one, to place the 'source'/'destination' paths in columns A:B of one of Excel sheets, which to be named "Folders".
Select in column A:A a 'Source' cell and run startMonitoring.
Play with files creation and check their moving from the new 'source' to the new 'destination'...
But you have to understand that only a session of the WMI class can run at a specific moment. This means that you cannot simultaneously monitor more than one folder...
I am still documenting regarding the possibility to use a query able to be common for multiple folders. But I never could see such an approach till now and it may not be possible...

I did some research and came to know that this issue may be caused due to the fact that the outlook session is already opened before running the script. So I added a patch before Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") to kill all the outlook.exe session. I did not get any error for a while. I don't know if this is correct. I would be happy to know your feedback on this.

I know this is old, but I was looking for the same thing and found this article. I'm still trying it out, but wanted to share before I got distracted with my real job.
From: SixSigmaGuy on microsoft.public.sharepoint.development-and-programming.narkive.com/...
Wanted to share my findings, so far. Surprisingly, I could not find
anything in the SharePoint Designer object/class that supported versions,
but the Office, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint objects do support it.. It
wasn't easy to find, but once I found it, it works great, as long as the
file in the document library is one of the Office documents.
Here's some sample code, written in Excel VBA, showing how to get the
version information for a paritcular SharePoint Document Library file
created in Excel:
Public viRow As Long
Function fCheckVersions(stFilename As String) As Boolean
' stFilename is the full URL to a document in a Document Library.
'
Dim wb As Excel.Workbook
Dim dlvVersions As Office.DocumentLibraryVersions
Dim dlvVersion As Office.DocumentLibraryVersion
Dim stExtension As String
Dim iPosExt As Long
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(viRow, 1) = stFilename
If Workbooks.CanCheckOut(stFilename) = True Then
Set wb = Workbooks.Open(stFilename, , True)
Set dlvVersions = wb.DocumentLibraryVersions
If dlvVersions.IsVersioningEnabled = True Then
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(viRow, 3) = "Num
Versions = " & dlvVersions.Count
For Each dlvVersion In dlvVersions
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(viRow, 4) = "Version: " & dlvVersion.Index
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(viRow, 5) = "Modified Date: " & dlvVersion.Modified
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(viRow, 6) = "Modified by: " & dlvVersion.ModifiedBy
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(viRow, 7) = "Comments: " & dlvVersion.Comments
viRow = viRow + 1
Next dlvVersion
End If
wb.Close False
End If
Set wb = Nothing
DoEvents
End Function`
Fortunately, I discovered that Excel can open non-Excel files in most
cases. I.e., I can, for example, open a jpg file in Excel and use the
dlvVersions collection for that file.

Outputting VBA results to text file in Outlook 2010

I am trying to make the below output into a text file on my desktop. I am very new (as in today) and I found the below script online, I have gotten my head around what each but does however I am struggling to make it output as a text file. I am not sure where the commands should go (beginning middle or end?) to do this. I have found one command but I am getting errors left right and centre. Please help.
Sub CountItemsInMBX()
Dim outapp As Outlook.Application
Set outapp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")

End Sub

Dim currentFolders As Folders
Dim fldCurrent As MAPIFolder
Set currentFolders = objParentFolder.Folders

Set fldCurrent = currentFolders.GetFirst
While Not fldCurrent Is Nothing
TempFolderCount = TempFolderCount + GetSubFolderCount(fldCurrent)
Set fldCurrent = currentFolders.GetNext

Else
Debug.Print objParentFolder.Name & " - " & objParentFolder.Items.Count

End If
End Function
The following is your code, converted to call a function, passing it a string, that will write to a text file. Change the file path & name to suit your needs.
Personally, I don't like the call method because it is a waste to check if the file exists, etc. for every call. However, since your code had two subroutines that need to write text, I was too lazy to embed the proper code in your code. You could either leave as is (if seldom used), or combine together if desired.

Calling a VBA macro from bat file

I have a vba macro to un-merge the merged cells and repeat in excel, but i need to run this macro without opening the excel and also the same logic will be applied to multiple excels so i need a batch file which calls the vba and apply to the excel in a folder. Is there any way to do it.?
You can call this VBscript from a batch file (in a loop)
Usage:
CScript inject.vbs "C:\johan\VbaStuff\Empty workbook.xlsx" "C:
\johan\VbaStuff\DummyMacro.bas" "AddDateToA1"
inject.vbs:
dim oArgs, i, FSO
dim fileName, macroFileName, functionName
dim oApplication, oWorkbooks, oWorkbook, oVbProject
dim oComponents, oModule, fullFunction
Set oArgs = WScript.Arguments
For i = 0 to oArgs.Count - 1
WScript.Echo "Arg" & i & ": " & oArgs(i)
Next
WScript.Echo ""
if oArgs.Count < 3 then
WScript.Echo "Too few arguments"
WScript.Quit
end if
fileName = oArgs(0)
macroFileName = oArgs(1)
functionName = oArgs(2)
set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
if not FSO.FileExists(fileName) then
WScript.Echo "Excel file does not exist"
WScript.Quit
end if
if not FSO.FileExists(macroFileName) then
WScript.Echo "Macro file does not exist"
WScript.Quit
end if
set oApplication = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
oApplication.DisplayAlerts = False
WScript.Echo "Injecting in Excel version: " & oApplication.Version
set oWorkbooks = oApplication.Workbooks
set oWorkbook = oWorkbooks.Open(fileName)
WScript.Echo oWorkbook.Name
set oVbProject = oWorkbook.VBProject
WScript.Echo oVbProject.Name
set oComponents = oVbProject.VBComponents
set oModule = oComponents.Import(macroFileName)
fullFunction = Trim(oModule.Name & "." & functionName)
WScript.Echo "Full function: '" & fullFunction & "'"
oApplication.Run(fullFunction)
oComponents.Remove(oModule)
oWorkbook.Save()
WScript.Echo "Saved changes"
oWorkbook.Close(False)
Call oApplication.Quit()
set oModule = Nothing
set oComponents = Nothing
set oVbProject = Nothing
set oWorkbook = Nothing
set oWorkbooks = Nothing
set oApplication = Nothing
set FSO = Nothing
Dummy macro for completeness:
Attribute VB_Name = "DummyMacro"
Sub AddDateToA1()
Dim oCell As Range
Dim sTime As String
Set oCell = ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Cells(1, 1)
sTime = CStr(TimeValue(Now))
oCell.Value = sTime
MsgBox "Wrote time " & sTime & " to " & oCell.Address(0, 0, xlA1, 1)
End Sub
