I'm new to SAP scripting. Someone told me it is possible to automatize my work with VBA, so I looked into it. I looked on the internet how to connect, it works fine. I use the recorder to know what code to write. Everything works very well until the last line of this code:
session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtCAUFVD-AUFNR").Text = "000000000" 'write service order number
session.findById("wnd[0]").sendVKey 0 'Confirm (enter)
session.findById("wnd[0]/mbar/menu[0]/menu[9]/menu[2]/menu[4]").Select 'execute a function to close the order
session.findById("wnd[1]/usr/btnSPOP-OPTION1").press 'A popup appears (always) with "No" in autoselect. I want to click on "Yes"
.findById("wnd[1]") should allow me to use the confirmation popup window, but it always returns Error 619, Control not found. I have no idea why, since this line was written by the recorder. I explored for many hours the Internet and I can't find the answer.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Of course, I needed to ask to have the resolution idea...
The was I set up my connection was that session was actually the SAP session .ActiveWindow(), therefore only wnd[0]. It couldn't find wnd[1]. I execute the findById() from the SAP session and it works.
If Not IsObject(SAPGuiApp) Then
Set SapGuiAuto = GetObject("SAPGUI")
Set SAPGuiApp = SapGuiAuto.GetScriptingEngine
End If
If Not IsObject(Connection) Then
Set Connection = SAPGuiApp.Children(0)
End If
If Not IsObject(SAP_session) Then
Set SAP_session = Connection.Children(0)
End If
Set session = SAP_session.ActiveWindow()
session.findById("wnd[1]") 'Bad. session is only wnd[0]
SAP_session.findById("wnd[1]") 'Good it can find wnd[0] and wnd[1]
I have a login system that works well, using XML files to store logins, and then I can read the users and passwords, see if it matches, if it does, move to the next form, if it doesn't, error message.
However, when the form switches over, I want to be able to display the username in the to left corner, so the user knows who they are displayed as. But I don't know how to memorise the specific user that logged in on the previous form onto the new form now?
I tried making a "public variable" (sort of hard to do for me, not sure if i even did it right), which will read the textbok that the user inputs their name in if the username was correct, and gets dipaslayed for the next form. I don't thin the public vairable worked very well.
If BlnUserFound = True Then
'ActiveUser is the "public vairable"
ActiveUser = tbxUser.Text
'Open the main screen
Me.Hide()
Home.Show()
Else
MessageBox.Show("User Details Not found" & vbCrLf _
& "Please Try Again", "Login Error")
End If
What am I doing wrong?!
Just simply connect it to another new variable name and use it in form 2 e.g
dim ActiveUser2 as string
ActiveUser2 = Form1.ActiveUser then just simply easiest way would be have a label or something on your form, set it to not visible and then just apply ActiveUser2.text to the Label.Text
We have a Excel-List of URLs with a lot of parameters.
The problem is: The first time you follow a link, you get redirected to a ADFS-Login, which cuts some of the Parameters, since they have a maximum URL-length.
My question: Is there a possibility to tell excel (be it via VBA or default) to use an existing Session?
I tried some shennenigans, for example via Chrome: Find the Window handle for a Chrome Browser or to take an existing IE-Window: http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/553580-visual-basic-applications-macro-already-open-ie-window.html While I get an existing Window, it seems like it always gets redirected and the URL cut. Is there anyhow a possibility to make this?
Please try this and post feedback
Open Sheet1
In Column A, from row 2 create your list of URLS
Insert ActiveXControl Microsoft Web Browser WebBrowser1
Size the control to your needs
Insert Control Button outside the bounds of the browser
Change name of the button to NextButton
Open Code Editor (Alt+F11)
In Sheet1 place the below code
Dim currentURLRow As Integer ''Sheet level variable
Sub NextButton_Click()
On Error Resume Next
Dim url As String
''VBA evaluates second expression even when the first of OR is true. So on error resume next helps here
If currentURLRow = 0 Or Trim(Cells(currentURLRow, 1)) = "" Then
''First time or loop back
currentURLRow = 2
Else
currentURLRow = currentURLRow + 1
End If
On Error GoTo 0 ''reset error so you know of any (good) errors
url = Cells(currentURLRow, 1)
''Sheet1.WebBrowser1.Silent = True ''Uncomment this if you are seeing lot of script errors that you dont want to see
WebBrowser1.Navigate url
Debug.Print WebBrowser1.Document.body.InnerHTML ''' Here you can do magic if the urls you are navigating are serialisable to objects :)

Now the first time you navigate to the site, you should be prompted for user name and password, on click of next, your session to saved.
My task is, when opening a database in Lotus Notes, the current user will be ask to input his/her password that was given by his superior. Is there a way how to do that? Just a simple prompt or form that will ask for your password before viewing the database.
Please understand that I do not intend this answer to be disrespectful, but this is really not a task for a beginner at Notes and Domino, as you have stated that you are. You should tell that to your boss. This is a task for someone who has deep understanding of the principles of security and of the mechanisms Notes and Domino provide for it. If you do not understand my comments on #Thomas Adrian's answer, then that applies to you. Again, no disrespect intended.
As security guru Bruce Schneier said, "if you ask amateurs to act as front-line security personnel, you shouldn't be surprised when you get amateur security".
Yes you can put code in queryopendatabase which is located in database script.
Create a button for your superior to store the password in a general profile document within the database
2 when users open the database use the queryopendatabase script to present a password prompt. You can use inputbox in lotus script. Verify the password against the profile document. If a wrong password is entered close the database.
You can use the following code as an embryo, This code use a "real" document but you can easily modify this to be a profile document.
Remember when you test this to close Domino Designer as the NSF is cached as long as DDE is open
Sub Postopen(Source As Notesuidatabase)
Dim db As NotesDatabase
Set db = source.Database
Dim d As NotesDocument, flag As Integer, upw As String, pw As String
upw = InputBox("Enter Password")
Set d = db.getView("Main").getFirstDocument()
If Not d Is Nothing Then
pw = d.password(0)
If pw = upw Then
flag = 1
End If
End If
If flag <> 1 Then Call source.Close()
End Sub
I have a table that has usernames, passwords, and a yes/no column for isadmin.
How do I make it so if they login with an account that has a check mark under "isadmin" they get access to design view, the ribbon, etc? Though if they log in with an account that doesn't have a check mark under the isadmin box they only can view the forms, not edit them, and the ribbon is inaccessible?
I just don't know where to start, as I had assumed there was a way to save the database as a seperate copy that only users can view forms in, and if the admin runs his copy he gets all the changes to the tables (via the forms) the users made. So when the admin edits a form, and saves it it doesn't remove all the user's data as when it was saved, it was saved to the admin's copy too. I'm really confused.
I am using Access 2013
This is a simple solution for user level security being removed in newer releases of Access; using a lot of VBA.
STEP 1: Creating The Table
First, create a table. I will name mine LogininfoT. Now, for the columns inside of the table, name them EmployeeID, LoginID, LoginPassword, EmployeeName, and lastly IsAdmin. Make EmployeeID your key, and IsAdmin a YES/NO field.
For testing, add two users to this table. With this information:
EmployeeID LoginID LoginPassword EmployeeName IsAdmin
1 1111 1234 Bob [x]
2 2222 1234 Stewert [ ]
STEP 2: Creating The Forms
Now that we have the table made, let's design the form to use this set of data.
I will name my form LoginF. Go into design view, and slap down a text box, a combo box, and a button. For the combo box rename the text to say something like Login ID (you can change this to whatever fits your need) and for the text box, put the text as Password (once again, change this to whatever you want it doesn't effect the outcome). The text in the button can be whatever you want, I will be putting Login on it.
Click the combo box and rename it. I will be naming it LoginCmBx. Next, click the text box and rename it, I will be naming it PasswordTxt. Lastly, click the button and rename it, I will be naming it LoginBtn.
Click the combo box again and under the event tab, go into the After Update scripting. Use code and type this in:
Private Sub LoginCmBx_AfterUpdate()
Me.PasswordTxt.SetFocus
End Sub
This makes it so after you select a username, it automatically puts the focus onto the password text box so you can start typing right away without using TAB on your keyboard, or using your mouse.
Next, go to the button and under the event tab, go into the On Click scripting. Use code and type this in:
Private Sub LoginBtn_Click()
If IsNull(Me.LoginCmBx) Or Me.LoginCmBx = "" Then
MsgBox "You must enter a User Name.", vbOKOnly, "Required Data"
Me.LoginCmBx.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If
If IsNull(Me.PasswordTxt) Or Me.PasswordTxt = "" Then
MsgBox "You must enter a Password.", vbOKOnly, "Required Data"
Me.PasswordTxt.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If
If Me.PasswordTxt.Value = DLookup("LoginPassword", "LoginInfoT", _
"[EmployeeID]=" & Me.LoginCmBx.Value) Then
EmployeeID = Me.LoginCmBx.Value
On Error Resume Next
DoCmd.DeleteObject acQuery, "IsAdminQ"
On Error GoTo Err_LoginBtn_Click
Dim qdef As DAO.QueryDef
Set qdef = CurrentDb.CreateQueryDef("IsAdminQ", _
"SELECT IsAdmin " & _
"FROM LoginInfoT " & _
"WHERE EmployeeID = " & LoginCmBx.Value)
Exit_LoginBtn_Click:
DoCmd.Close acForm, "LoginF", acSaveNo
DoCmd.OpenForm "MenuF"
Exit Sub
Err_LoginBtn_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_LoginBtn_Click
Else
MsgBox "Password Invalid. Please Try Again", vbOKOnly, _
"Invalid Entry!"
Me.PasswordTxt.SetFocus
End If
End Sub
What this does is check if you selected a username, if not it spits out an error telling the user to select one. If you did, it checks if you entered a password. If they didn't, it spits out another error saying they didn't enter a password. If they selected both, and the password doesn't match the one in the table for the username you selected it spits out an error saying you got the password wrong. If you got the password right to the username you selected, it logs you in. It will then close the current form you are on, and open up a new one named "MenuF" it will also create a query with that little bit of information under the username you selected, either if it's an admin or not.. We haven't created MenuF yet, so lets quickly do that. We aren't done with LoginF just quite yet though, so be prepared to come back to that later!
Create the form, and put down a button. Here is your menu form, you can create as many buttons as you want going to other forms or even just put a subform on here and have your entire database. Taht button you put down, you can name the text to whatever you want. I put mine as Log out. Name the button MenuLogOutBtn. Go into the event tab, and under the On Click scripting click code and type this in:
Private Sub MenuLogOutBtn_Click()
DoCmd.DeleteObject acQuery, "IsAdminQ"
DoCmd.OpenForm "LoginF"
DoCmd.Close acForm, "MenuF", acSaveNo
End Sub
What this does is delete the query the login button created, opens the login form again, and closes the menu. Simple!
Now I need you to throw down a checkbox, and name it MyCheckbox. This box requires no special coding, or control sources. Though I do suggest changing visible as no, and deleting the text that comes along with it.
Now, go to the form's event properties and under the Open scripting go to code and type this in:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Me.MyCheckbox.Value = GetLoginStateIsAdmin()
If GetLoginStateIsAdmin = True Then
Me.ShortcutMenu = True
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Ribbon", acToolbarYes
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Menu Bar", acToolbarYes
Application.SetOption "ShowWindowsinTaskbar", True
DoCmd.SelectObject acTable, , True
Else
Me.ShortcutMenu = False
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Ribbon", acToolbarNo
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Menu Bar", acToolbarNo
Application.SetOption "ShowWindowsinTaskbar", False
DoCmd.NavigateTo "acNavigationCategoryObjectType"
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdWindowHide
End If
End Sub
What this does is checkbox's information which is attached to query's IsAdmin column and give GetLoginStateIsAdmin that boolean variable. After it does that, it starts a simple If statement that turns off menu bars and disabled right click if you aren't an admin; if you are, it allows you do right click and all menu bars are visible.
Though if you didn't notice yet, our checkbox doesn't get the information from the query yet! Oh no!
STEP 3: Creating The Public Modules
If you were on your toes, you would notice even the login code wouldn't work at this point. First, we need some public modules. Go to the Create tab in the ribbon, and create a module. Type this in:
Public EmployeeID As Long
Save this module as LoginModule.
Create another module, and type this in:
Function GetLoginStateIsAdmin()
'
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("IsAdminQ")
GetLoginStateIsAdmin = Nz(rst(0), False)
Set rst = Nothing
'
End Function
Save this one as GetAdmin.
Lets create one more module; so the user opening the database can't by bass stuff by using the shift key to launch it.
Type this in it:
Function ap_DisableShift()
'This function disable the shift at startup. This action causes
'the Autoexec macro and Startup properties to always be executed.
On Error GoTo errDisableShift
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim prop As DAO.Property
Const conPropNotFound = 3270
Set db = CurrentDb()
'This next line disables the shift key on startup.
db.Properties("AllowByPassKey") = False
'The function is successful.
Exit Function
errDisableShift:
'The first part of this error routine creates the "AllowByPassKey
'property if it does not exist.
If Err = conPropNotFound Then
Set prop = db.CreateProperty("AllowByPassKey", _
dbBoolean, False)
db.Properties.Append prop
Resume Next
Else
MsgBox "Function 'ap_DisableShift' did not complete successfully."
Exit Function
End If
End Function
Save that as ShiftModule.
We are done the modules! Lets go back to the LoginF now.
STEP 4: Finishing Up LoginF
Go to the form's event tab, and click the on load scripting. Click code, then type this in:
Private Sub Form_Load()
On Error Resume Next
DoCmd.DeleteObject acQuery, "CustomerMoreInfoQ"
End Sub
What this does is make sure that the query the login button creates is deleted when this form starts up, just in case the user closes the database without logging out. So if you click login, it won't cause errors because the query isn't still there.
STEP 5: Testing It Out.
Run the form LoginF in form view, and select Bob as the username. Type in the password 1234 into the password text box, and click login. It should open up the MenuF and you see all menus and you can right click. Good. Now, log out and login with Stewert, using the same password. Now you see all the menus remove themselves, and you can't right click! Yay!
For extra security, in the LoginF's Other tab, make sure Shortcut Menu is set to No. This will set right click to be disabled always; as you aren't logged in as a user at this point. It doesn't know if you are an admin or not.
STEP 6: Disabling The Toolbars On Start Up & launching LoginF On Start Up.
Go to File > Options > Current Database.
Under Display Form, select FormF.
Under the Navigation section, unclick Display Navigation Pane.
Click okay, then go back to LoginF; go into the On Load code and add this just before the End Sub:
DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Ribbon", acToolbarNo
You are done! Save your database, then close it and open it again. It should load the LoginF form where you can't right click, there are no menus etc. The only way to get the menus to edit things is to log into an admin account!
Step 7: Expanding
This doesn't automatically expand the more you add forms though. You need to add that checkbox named MyCheckbox (I suggest copy + pasting it) to each form you add, and add this code to each form you add:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Me.MyCheckbox.Value = GetLoginStateIsAdmin()
If GetLoginStateIsAdmin = True Then
Me.ShortcutMenu = True
Else
Me.ShortcutMenu = False
End If
End Sub
Though once you do that to every form, the security works and you need to log in to an admin account to change anything. If you are just a user, you can use the form normally (click buttons, edit data on subforms, etc) You can't edit the form it self though.
