The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Run ACCESS module from .bat file

Asked by rayscue in Access Coding/Macros

Tags: , , , ,

I am trying to schedule a distribution of a report to run in ACCESS every Monday morning.  I have a module in ACCESS that does the logic I need and it works.  However, when I try to schedule it to run using my Task Scheduler and a .bat file, I can't get the module to run successfully.  It is waiting for me to select the macro to run.

my .bat file:
START /WAIT Msaccess.exe "\\Accounting\Users\Gina Leslie shared folder\IDX Reporting DB.mdb" /x "MyMacro"

MyMacro:
    DoCmd.OpenModule "Distribute Reports", ""
    DoCmd.Close acModule, "Distribute Reports"


Distribute Reports (module):
Option Compare Database

Dim sFile As String
Dim smgrFolder As String
Dim smgrName, smgrID As String

Dim iRecNum As Integer


Public Sub CycleThruMgrs()
    DoCmd.OpenForm "frmMgrs", acNormal, "", "", acEdit, acIcon
    iRecNum = 0
   
    Do Until iRecNum = 1
        iRecNum = iRecNum + 1
        smgrName = Forms!frmMgrs!LName.Value
        smgrID = Forms!frmMgrs!EmployeeID.Value
        smgrFolder = Forms!frmMgrs!REPORT_FOLDER.Value
        OutputReports
        DoCmd.GoToRecord acForm, "frmMgrs", acNext, 1
    Loop
   
    DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmMgrs"
End Sub



Public Sub OutputReports()
'
'######### Future Appointments Excel Report ##############
'
' Assign file name for the report file
    sFile = smgrFolder & "\Patients with Future appts.xls"
' Open the query
    DoCmd.OpenQuery "Patients with Future appts", acViewNormal
' Write the query out to Mgr's folder
    DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputQuery, "Patients with Future appts", acFormatXLS, sFile, False
' Close the query
    DoCmd.Close acQuery, "Patients with Future appts"
'
'
'######### Patients with no appt Excel Report ##############
'
' Assign file name for the report file
    sFile = smgrFolder & "\Patients with no appt.xls"
' Open the query
    DoCmd.OpenQuery "Patients with no appt", acViewNormal
' Write the query out to Mgr's folder
    DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputQuery, "Patients with no appt", acFormatXLS, sFile, False
' Close the query
    DoCmd.Close acQuery, "Patients with no appt"
'
'
End Sub


Thanks in advance for any help.
