Great video. I always love to see how different people code. I always seem to pick up new ideas when I am doing coding. Never went to school for coding have just learned it from forums, Internet searches, and videos like yours! Really enjoy and appreciate your videos.

Great - thank you!! How can I deal with different user settings- at some users the pdf gets opened in different browsers (Chrome, edge etc), at some computers it gets opened in Acrobat Reader and so on. The result is that for each different scenario e.g. different amount of tab-keys is needed. Any way to cope with this- e.g. by detecting the opening program or by enforcing to open pdf always with browser edge? Thanks in advanced!

I have a file renamer app in access but I have issues not removing, adding or replacing text but setting the name to uppercase and when the file is rename to the name they already have or changing the names to names that already exist on the folder. Could you do a video on how to develop that app? Would be cool to see if you can solve those issues I couldn’t

I watch a series of your tutorials and are very helpful to me. Thank you very much . But please i need your help, if i want to sum smallest seven numbers from a range of numbers, let say a row with ten columns, but i want access to sum only seven smallest numbers. Just like in excel i type sum(small(A1:A10{1;2;3;4;5;6;7})) Thanks 🙏

hi richard ... i just recently started using access again. part of the need from this database is populating a pdf that the state mandates. this video was a tremendous help. thank you. one hiccup that i came across is the necessary pdf has pull downs ... lots of them. i can easily capture the data to match the pulldown menus on the pdf, but when i populate those fields, the data disappears on the pdf even though it is the same data. do you have any ideas how i can maybe handle pull down boxes on a pdf?
@599CD
@599CD Год назад
Not really. Those dropdown menus are tough. State mandated forms suck. LOL. I had to build a database for an insurance company once and they had forms they HAD to use. Nightmare. I ended up building a replica in Access, but every couple years they change it... so...

Please do. I know there's a LOT more you can do with VBA automation with the PAID version of Adobe Acrobat, but I've never needed it, so I've never purchased it. If you need this that bad, you may want to look into it. Me, personally, I've always recreated everything directly in Access.
@user-wq9vh7ug3o

@599CD sorry for the delayed response, i found a pretty simple work around. for the pulldown boxes, they dont allow you to send a full field value from access. however, on the pdf form, if a user is typing, for example, a state abbreviation, the form does not allow a second character to be typed in the pulldown. its as if the user must select from the list. however, they can toggle through the states that start with "n" by simply hitting the "n" key until the needed state appears. in access, i created a hidden field that determines the first letter and a lookup table of the states with the number of times a user would have to hit that key. then run a loop based on those values. it sounds complicated but was easier than doing an if/then/else if statement for all 50 states plus DC. you can look online at nys dmv form mv-104f for the pulldowns that i am talking about, thats one of the forms that i need.

Hi Richard can you use this to complete websites? from Subforms?
@599CD
@599CD 9 месяцев назад
Sure... if you can calculate the exact number of tabs from when the web browser loads to the fields you need. The tricky part is that you have to constantly update your code every time the page changes.

Serious question now. I created and run a database for a group I belong too, it has about 30 members. Right now I'm printing a report of their info and mailing it to them. Then when it comes back I update the new info by hand. Would this be possible using this method. Then is it possible to extract the info returned back into Access.

I followed your tutorial up to filling in the first field with FirstName & LastName. When I run it, it cuts off some letters of the last name. My field does allow more characters. I'll get "Richard Ro" or "Deanna Tro". What am I doing wrong?

Richard is the BEST TEACHER on the planet earth. The sendkey/senddata does not work for me. Is there any different ways to populate PDF with Access data? thanks a lot for your time. Hi Richard, I tested several times, it show the data of 1 record in 1 field with the TAB word too. Thanks for your quick reply

SendKeys has been in every version of Access since the 90s. You should figure out why it's not working. Thanks for the compliment. :)

@CouillardMrAlain Hi Richard great tuto I learned a lot and there is so good material I became Platinum member yesterday. Apologize in advance I am not familiar posting comment on a RU-vid channel and please feel free to indicate to me if I do something wrong or if I should do it elsewhere. Alain Context: I am from Canada and I am helping small org who support foreigner student with the Study permit and I think filling those Gov forms from Access as your lesson would be great. I followed the master' instructions -:) and tab tab tab worked fine but after trying for almost entire day I have a block with a radio button where user has to choice yes or no. Manually I can click and the form insert a checkmark, I have same result with Enter key and Spacebar . I tried numerous things as SendKeys "{ENTER}", True + sleep 200 each time, I tried SendKeys " " for Spacebar etc etc etc. When I just added additional SendKeys "{TAB}" I can pass this radio button box but the only result I've been able to get is: The the is in the proper first button but nothing else but I am stuck there Question: Being beginner in VBA I am sure there is something I am doing wrong or is it because we can't address this. As a reference Richard in your tuto the Pet PDF Form have small boxes to indicate if the telephone number is home, buz, etc. I think it is maybe the same situation that I have with my Gov forms. If someone has a tip I would appreciate or if not feasible also good info to avoid I am loosing more time on this. -:) Thanks 😊
