Re: [MS_AccessPros] Adding file locations and filenames to a continous form

 

Art-

The ItemsSelected collection returns only those rows that are actually selected - either by the user or by you in code.  To have multiple or all of the items selected, the MultiSelect property needs to be set to Simple or Extended, but then the List Box cannot be bound to anything because it will never have a Value other than Null.

Why not just loop through all the rows?

Dim intI As Integer

For intI = 0 To Me.FileList.ItemCount - 1

        rs.AddNew
        rs!DOCLOCATION = FileList.ItemData(intI)
        rs!DATEOFDOC = Date
        rs.Update

Next intI

OK. Went a little different way. I added a list box FileList to frmMain. The code below fills the listbox correctly. 

Dim fDialog As Office.FileDialog
   Dim varFile As Variant

   ' Clear listbox contents. '
   Me.FileList.RowSource = ""

   ' Set up the File Dialog. '
   Set fDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)

   With fDialog

      ' Allow user to make multiple selections in dialog box '
      .AllowMultiSelect = True

      ' Set the title of the dialog box. '
      .Title = "Please select one or more files"

      ' Clear out the current filters, and add our own.'
      .Filters.Clear
      .Filters.Add "Access Databases", "*.MDB"
      .Filters.Add "Access Projects", "*.ADP"
      .Filters.Add "All Files", "*.*"

      ' Show the dialog box. If the .Show method returns True, the '
      ' user picked at least one file. If the .Show method returns '
      ' False, the user clicked Cancel. '
      If .Show = True Then

         'Loop through each file selected and add it to our list box. '
         For Each varFile In .SelectedItems
            Me.FileList.AddItem varFile
         Next

      Else
         MsgBox "You clicked Cancel in the file dialog box."
      End If
   End With

.

I added a button called cmdImport to frmMain with the following code:

Private Sub cmdImport_Click()
 Dim db As Database
   Dim rs As Recordset

   Set db = CurrentDb()
   Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("tblDocumentMain")
   For Each itm In FileList.ItemsSelected
        rs.AddNew
        rs!DOCLOCATION = FileList.ItemData(itm)
        rs!DATEOFDOC = Date
        rs.Update
  Next
  rs.Close
  Set rs = Nothing
  Set db = Nothing

End Sub

The issue is its not writing anything to the table....

Art-

Just before your For Each, open a recordset to add rows to your table.

Inside the For Each, instead of Debug.Print, use the .addnew and .update methods on the recordset to create new rows.

OK I cam up with this...

Dim fDialog As FileDialog, result As Integer
Set fDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
     
'IMPORTANT!
fDialog.AllowMultiSelect = True
 
'Optional FileDialog properties
fDialog.title = "Select a file"
fDialog.InitialFileName = "C:\"
'Optional: Add filters
fDialog.Filters.Clear
fDialog.Filters.Add "Excel files", "*.xlsx"

'Show the dialog. -1 means success!
If fDialog.Show = -1 Then
  For Each it In fDialog.SelectedItems
    Debug.Print it
  Next it
End If

Which allows me to select multiple files but how do I move them to my table and subform? I know its in the FOr Each loop but not the syntax?

Do you not understand the code you posted earlier in the other thread?

Dim strPath As String

    ' If you want to use the Office FileDialog object,
    ' comment out the following code and remove the
    ' comments from the block below
' ***** Begin ComDlg code
    ' Establish a new ComDlg object
    With New ComDlg
        ' Don't allow multiple files
        .AllowMultiSelect = False
        ' Set the title of the dialog
        .DialogTitle = "Locate MTT picture File"
        ' Set the default directory
        .Directory = CurrentProject.Path & "\Pictures\"
        ' .. and file extension
        .Extension = "bmp"
        ' .. but show all graphics files just in case
        .Filter = "Image Files (.bmp, .jpg, .gif, .pdf)|*.bmp;*.jpg;*.gif;*.pdf"
        ' Tell the common dialog that the file and path must exist
        .ExistFlags = FileMustExist + PathMustExist

If you want to save multiple files per row in tblDocumentMain, you'll need another table related on DOC_ID with one row per document.  If you want to save just one file per row, use code similar to what you did for frmMTTNoteDetails.

OK.  Open file dialog will be accessed via a command button. The table structure is defined as follows:

The pertinent fields for this discussion are DOCFOLDER which should contain the path and filename.

What is the structure of the tables involved, and where do you plan to add the files?
