Re: [MS_AccessPros] Re: Copy record to the Windows clipboard?

 

Steve - Be sure to edit the file path, field names, table names. Once you decide if this is the route you want to go we can expand the routine so the user can select the path and file name from a dialog box.

Steve - Here is a simple example. While in design view, Put a button named cmdWriteRecord on the form. Select the button and press F7. That will open the VBA editor to the button's click event. Paste in my code. Change the strSQL string to match your table and field names.

Private Sub cmdWriteRecord_Click()

    Dim strFile As String

    Dim db As DAO.Database

    Dim rs As DAO.Recordset

    Dim strSQL As String

    Dim strRec As String

    

    Set db = CurrentDb

    'Get record from table that matches record on form

    strSQL = "SELECT FirstName, LastName, Company " _

        & "FROM Customers WHERE ID = " & Me.ID

    Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL, dbOpenDynaset, dbSeeChanges)

    'Concatenate all fields into one string

    strRec = rs!FirstName & ", " & rs!LastName & ", " & rs!Company

    

    'Open text file. Create if it doesn't exist.

    strFile = "U:\_HOLD\myTextFile.txt"

    

    'Open file for appending

    Open strFile For Append As #1

    

    'Write our string to the file

    Write #1, strRec

    

    'Clean up pointers

    Close #1

    

    Set rs = Nothing

    Set db = Nothing

    

End Sub

Steve - I didn't forget about you. Just ran out of time. My plan is to use a query on the same source as your form and have the WHERE clause use the same ID as the current row in the form.

Then concatenate the fields into one string and write that string to a text file.
