I am looking for using a library in vba microsoft access 2016 to add some picture effects inside an Image object. All the web examples are for Excel, Word or Powerpoint vba, not for Access vba. So I am setting references adding Microsoft Office 16.0 Object Library and Microsoft Excel 16.0 Object Library but code doesn't work with MS Access:
'no declare before ...
Dim IMGTEST As Object
IMGTEST = Forms!frmExportOLE.MonImage.Picture
With IMGTEST.PictureEffects
' Insert a 150% Saturation effect.
.Insert(msoEffectSaturation).EffectParameters(1).Value = 1.5
' Insert Brightness/Contrast effect and set values to -50% Brightness and +25% Contrast.
Dim brightnessContrast As PictureEffect
Set brightnessContrast = .Insert(msoEffectBrightnessContrast)
brightnessContrast.EffectParameters(1).Value = -0.5
brightnessContrast.EffectParameters(2).Value = 0.25
End With
Please, could you tell me what are my mistakes
and probably help me on what kind dll would i declare before.

Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom, decided that the default file format for Office 2010 applications should be the format that was 13 years old (Office 97-2002) at the time of release.
The newer formats (2007 and newer) save the data in compressed XML files which are much smaller, and also allow for many additional features. Our corporate IT department hasn't or can't set a group policy to force users to default to saving in the new format, so I'm writing a macro to adjust the settings for everyone in our department.
I can do this in Excel and Word very simply by executing the following VBA code (I'm running it from an Excel workbook):
Public Sub SetExcelSave()
Dim myExcel As Excel.Application
Set myExcel = New Excel.Application
Excel.DefaultSaveFormat = xlOpenXMLWorkbook
Excel.Quit
Set Excel = Nothing
End Sub
Public Sub SetWordSave()
Dim myWord As Word.Application
Set myWord = New Word.Application
Word.DefaultSaveFormat = wdFormatDocumentDefault
Word.Quit
Set Word = Nothing
End Sub
However, I haven't been able to find the appropriate setting to adjust in PowerPoint. Does anyone know where that property is or what it's called?
This code will not compile cleanly, giving an error on the PPT.DefaultSaveFormat line:
Public Sub SetPowerPointSave()
Dim PPT As PowerPoint.Application
Set PPT = New PowerPoint.Application
PPT.DefaultSaveFormat = ppSaveAsOpenXMLPresentation
PPT.Quit
Set PPT = Nothing
End Sub
I've rummaged around in the Office Application Object documentation for PowerPoint, but I'm just not finding what I'm after. It's highly likely that I just don't know what I'm looking for and have simply overlooked it.
Does anyone know what property I'm supposed to set to be able to programmatically change this?
The default save format for PPT 2007 and later is the new XML format (PPTX rather than PPT and so on). If the user (or IT staff via policies) have overridden this in the File | Save | Save files in this format: then the default becomes whatever they've selected, for whatever reason.
App-wide defaults like this typically aren't exposed via the object model; they're stored in the registry. In this case, in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\PowerPoint\Options
DefaultFormat DWORD=27 for PPTX
Substitute the correct version for 14.0 above; 12.0 for PPT 2007, 14.0 for 2010, and so on (no 13.0).
If you can write the value you want to the registry when PPT isn't running, you can reset the defaults. If you write to the reg while PPT's running, it won't affect the current instance of PPT, and your changes will be overwritten when PPT quits.
I keep getting an error at Dim fd As FileDialog
ive checked the references and i have Microsoft Office 12.0 Object library checked. is there a different reference im supposed to have checked for this?
Im using Access 2007 if that makes a difference.
That's a bit weird. Alternatively you can use
Dim f As Object
Set f = Application.FileDialog(3)
That way you don't need early binding.
The source situation: I have an Notes Application which uses MS Office 2000 under Windows XP. The new situation has to be MS Office 2010 under Windows 7. IBM Notes is 8.5.3FP3.
The old one uses a VBA template to communicate with Notes which works properly. At one time a Notes.NotesUiWorkSpace object is created to open a document, navigate to a richtext item, select all the content (formatted) and copy to the clipboard. Then the clipboard content ist pasted into the Word document via VBA. That works fine.
The same code in the second environment doesn't work anymore. I noticed that the Notes.NotesUIWorkSpace object cannot be instanciated in VBA. No errors, no hints. Only the runtime error when I reference the workspace-object later.
Here is a code excerpt:
' this is a profile document which is filled correctly
Call prof.Save(True, True)
Call prof.replaceItemValue("Form", "Profile")
' setting up the ui
dim WS as Object
set WS = CreateObject("Notes.NotesUiWorkSpace")
Set uiprof = WS.EditDocument(True, prof)
' Set uiprof = WS.currentDocument
If uiprof.editMode Then Call uiprof.gotofield("RT")
Call uiprof.SelectAll
Call uiprof.Copy
Call uiprof.Close
' later on the clipboard will be pasted into the word document
Any ideas what could be the cause here? I am setting up an environment with XP, MS Office 2010 and Notes tonight to check it out that it is not caused by Windows 7.
If the Windows 7 machine is 64 bit, take a look at the answers here. Note that those refer to the COM classes (lotus.), and you are using the OLE classes (notes.), but I believe the 64/32 bit issue applies to both.
I have a VBA macro in Excel that calls a query in an Access database (.mdb). However, the Access has been updated to a .accdb file and I don't know how to change up the macro (and/or include any libraries as I don't truly understand that part yet) so that the code will work.
Here is the current "header" code:
'Step 1: Declare your variables
Dim MyDatabase As DAO.Database
Dim MyQueryDef As DAO.QueryDef
Dim MyRecordset As DAO.Recordset
'Step 2: Identify the database and query
Set MyDatabase = DBEngine.OpenDatabase("C:\Users\Ben\Google Drive\Database\Production\FOREAL PROD.mdb")
If you are getting an "unrecognizable database format" error then your Excel project may be using an older DAO (Data Access Objects) reference that does not know how to deal with .accdb files.
In the VBA window, choose Tools > References.... If you see an old DAO reference like...
"Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library"
...then that could explain the problem.
You'll want to upgrade that old DAO reference to this one...
"Microsoft Office 14.0 Access Database Engine Object Library"
...and to do that you'll need to download and install the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable from here.
I have both Word 2007 and 2010 installed. I need to open Word from within Excel but I need to specify which version I need to open within VBA.
I've tried late binding
Dim wordApp2007 As Object
Dim wordApp2010 As Object
Set wordApp2007 = CreateObject("Word.Application.12")
wordApp2007.Visible = True
Set wordApp2010 = CreateObject("Word.Application.14")
wordApp2010.Visible = True
but both open Word 2010
I've also tried early binding by using
Dim wordApp As Word.Application
Set wordApp2007 = New Word.Application
wordApp2007.Visible = True
and setting references to the Word 12.0 object model but this still opens Word 2010
If I register each version of Word using
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD.EXE" /regserver
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\WINWORD.EXE" /regserver
then the version registered opens but then I can't open open the non-registered.
Can anyone help and show me how to open a specific version of Word within Excel using VBA?
Thank you
Edit: Example code....
Option Explicit
Dim wordApp2007 As Word.Application
Sub Word_InfoEarly()
'early binding
Set wordApp2007 = New Word.Application
wordApp2007.Visible = True
'other Stuff
Stop
wordApp2007.Quit
Set wordApp2007 = Nothing
End Sub
Sub Word_InfoLate()
Dim wordApp2007 As Object
Dim wordApp2010 As Object
Set wordApp2007 = CreateObject("Word.Application.12")
wordApp2007.Visible = True
Set wordApp2010 = CreateObject("Word.Application.14")
wordApp2010.Visible = True
'other Stuff
Stop
wordApp2007.Quit
Set wordApp2007 = Nothing
wordApp2010.Quit
Set wordApp2010 = Nothing
End Sub
This is a work around:
TaskID = Shell("C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD.EXE",vbHide) '2007
'TaskID = Shell("C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\WINWORD.EXE",vbHide) '2010
GetObject(,"Word.Application")
You would also need to test if a previous version of word is open, or use something other than a basic GetObject to activate the window, else there's no guarantees that it will get the right version.
The other way would be to pass the document name in the Shell command, and then GetObject could be called with the document name
This may further explain why the code works some times and not others.
My observation on the situation of the command
'Set wordAppxxxx = CreateObject("Word.Application.xx")'
working or not on your computer is that it is a function of the latest update you get from Microsoft.
Why I believe this:
I have an application that converts a text file to a Word document for backwards compatibility with some legacy apps. The best plan includes using a version of Word similar to the version the legacy apps were designed with/to. As a result, I searched on how to invoke a legacy version of Word as opposed to the default offering on my computer which is Word 2010.
The solution noted in this discussion chain provided the answer to my question. (Thank you Stack Overflow contributors!) I wanted to use Word XP, so I looked at my directories and observed that Word XP (aka Word 2002) is a member of Office 10, so I created the command
'Set wordApp2002 = CreateObject("Word.Application.10")'
and my program launched Word 2002 and the world was a happy place.
Over the weekened, I had an update to my computer. I control the updates via an app which gives me control over when updates occur such that I can observe changes to my configuration. This morning (9/30/13) I turned on a computer that had a Word update. I did not know this until after I had made one run of my app from last week. The app ran fine and invoked Word 2002 as expected.
But then I got the banner page informing me of a Word 2010 update that was installing itself.
Afterwards, I ran the app that worked so well for me last week and once today. Now, after the Word update (immediately after!), the same code now launches Word 2010 despite the fact that the command line invoking Word 2002 has not changed.
This appears strong evidence that a Microsoft update tweaked the settings that previously allowed the VB code to work as expected. This might be a good item to bring to Microsoft's attention so see if we can get this item stabilized in subsequent update packages to allow consistent behavior in future releases.
I hope this is helpful,

I wasted half a day on this, and want to help prevent others doing the same! I'm running Windows 7 and Office 2013 and 2010 on the same laptop. I wanted to get Access VBA to open up an old version of Word, as Word 2013 call-outs are printing with thick black borders.
Having tried lots of variations, here's my code which worked:
Sub GetWordReference()
'finally got Access to open old version of Word
'open Word 2010
Shell "C:\Program Files (x86)\Office 2010\Office14\winword.exe"
'open Word 2013
'Shell "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15\winword.exe"
TryAgain:
On Error GoTo NoWord
Set word2010 = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
On Error GoTo 0
word2010.Visible = True
'word2010.Documents.Add
'word2010.Selection.TypeText "This is Word " & word2010.Version
Exit Sub
NoWord:
Resume TryAgain
End Sub
I can't get the SO code editor to show this correctly, but copying and pasting should work.
I had a similar issue, and thought I would detail my experience for those that stumble across this in the future.
In my situation, I had a Powerpoint macro that was supposed to open a file dialog for the user to select some Excel files and then create tables from the data; I had no problem with it until I recently installed Excel 2003. Now Powerpoint was opening up an Excel 2003 file dialog, which would raise errors when trying to select a *.xlsx file. It didn't matter if I used Excel.Application.10 or Excel.Application.14 in my code to create the Excel object, it was always an Excel 2003 file dialog.
I noticed in Explorer that *.xlsx files were set to be opened in Excel 2010 and *.xls files were set to be opened in Excel 2003. I tried to usual way to reset *.xls files to be opened in 2010 to no avail. I ended up having to delete the registry key and repair Office 2010. Now that all Excel files open in 2010, my problem has been fixed.
I know my problem was a bit different than yours, but I think my experience could help lead to a solution. I think any solution will end up relying on some registry editing.
This is a VB.NET solution:
Sub Word_InfoLate()
Dim wordApp2007 As Object
Dim wordApp2010 As Object
This is a bit intimidating to some, but there may be a registry edit that can solve this.
I am unable to test as I only have one version of MS Office available to me, however, previous versions still have registry keys left over.
I found the 2007 version of Word in the registry, and it's default location is C:\program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\WINWORD.EXE" indicating that older versions of Word are registered to the newest version install location as it's new default.
What you might be able to do is navigate to the registry location
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Word.Documet.12\shell\Open\Command
Change the (Default) key to read "C:\program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD.EXE" /n "%1"
In theory whenever
Set wordApp2007 = CreateObject("Word.Application.12")
is invoked it may probe the registry for the location of the executable, and find the correct path.
