Hyperlinks Truncating on Export from Access 2007

I have a report in Access 2007 that includes a memo field in RTF format. Quite often part of the text in this field will include one or more hyperlinks. The hyperlinks work fine in Access.
I export this report to .pdf using the following line of VBA code, attached to a button on a form:
DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, stDocName, acFormatPDF, vrtSelectedItem & "\" & title & ".pdf"
This code works fine, and the report is exported to the selected location properly. And if the hyperlink text all fits on one line in the .pdf file, then the link works correctly there, too.
The problem is when the hyperlink text ends up being wrapped around to a 2nd line or more. The entire link still LOOKS like a link in the .pdf file (it's still blue/underlined), but only the first line is actually a hyperlink.
For example, if the link text were:
http://forums.adobe.com/community/
acrobat/post!input.jspa?containterType=14
...then the only part that would actually be a hyperlink in the .pdf document would be "http://forums.adobe.com/community/" and the 2nd line of the link is lost.
We have thousands of these hyperlinks all throughout our data, and many of them are more than one line long. It is not feasible for us to shorten all of them using bit.ly. Nor is it feasible for us to make our users copy and paste the broken links from the .pdf's into their browsers.
So, does anyone know how to fix this so that the hyperlinks we pass to .pdf from Access remain complete hyperlinks, even if they are more than one line long?

Finally figured out the solution myself, after 2 days. It's surprisingly simple.
If the URL is surrounded by double quotes in the data, then it works as a complete link when exported to .pdf, even if the link wraps to a 2nd line or more. The quotes show up in the .pdf, too, but that's a small price to pay to have working links.

Problem calling Oracle function from Access 2007 / ADO

Hopefully, I'm posting this in the correct forum. I'm also posting on an Access forum as I'm not entirely sure where the issue lies.
I'm calling an Oracle function from Access 2007 using an ADO Command object.
The function takes three input parameters and has a return value and an output parameter. The output parameter is a BLOB, and the return value is varchar2 (either "T" or "N") based on the outcome of the function.
If I pass correct values to the function, I get the following error message (errs out on the command.execute line):
Run-time error '-2147467259 (80004005)':
[Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
ORA-06512: at line 1
Here's the function:
FUNCTION GET_ITEMREV_ATTACH(P_ORGANIZATION_ID IN NUMBER,
P_INVENTORY_ITEM_ID IN NUMBER,
P_REVISION IN VARCHAR2,
X_DRAWING OUT BLOB) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
RESULT VARCHAR2(1);
BEGIN
RESULT := 'T';
BEGIN
SELECT L.FILE_DATA
INTO X_DRAWING
FROM FND_ATTACHED_DOCUMENTS AD,
MTL_ITEM_REVISIONS_B IR,
FND_DOCUMENTS_TL D,
FND_LOBS L
WHERE AD.ENTITY_NAME = 'MTL_ITEM_REVISIONS' AND
AD.PK1_VALUE = IR.ORGANIZATION_ID AND
AD.PK2_VALUE = IR.INVENTORY_ITEM_ID AND
AD.PK3_VALUE = IR.REVISION_ID AND
AD.CATEGORY_ID = 1001216 AND
D.DOCUMENT_ID = AD.DOCUMENT_ID AND
D.LANGUAGE = 'US' AND
L.FILE_ID = D.MEDIA_ID AND
IR.ORGANIZATION_ID = P_ORGANIZATION_ID AND
IR.INVENTORY_ITEM_ID = P_INVENTORY_ITEM_ID AND
IR.REVISION = P_REVISION;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
RESULT := 'N';
END;
RETURN(RESULT);
END GET_ITEMREV_ATTACH;
Here's the VB code I'm using to call the function:
Private Sub Command8_Click()
Dim CMD As New ADODB.Command
Dim conn As ADODB.Connection
Dim Param1 As ADODB.Parameter
Dim Param2 As ADODB.Parameter
Dim Param3 As ADODB.Parameter
Dim ParamBlob As ADODB.Parameter
Dim ParamReturn As ADODB.Parameter
Set conn = New ADODB.Connection
With conn
.ConnectionString = "Driver={Oracle in OraHome92};Dbq=OAPLY;UID=***;PWD=*******"
.CursorLocation = adUseClient
.Open
End With
Set CMD = New ADODB.Command
Set CMD.ActiveConnection = conn
CMD.CommandText = "immi_attach_pub.get_itemrev_attach"
CMD.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
Set ParamReturn = CMD.CreateParameter("RESULT", adVarChar, adParamReturnValue, 1)
CMD.Parameters.Append ParamReturn
Set Param1 = CMD.CreateParameter("P_ORGANIZATION_ID", adInteger, adParamInput, 1, 6)
CMD.Parameters.Append Param1
Set Param2 = CMD.CreateParameter("P_INVENTORY_ITEM_ID", adInteger, adParamInput, 4, 5207)
CMD.Parameters.Append Param2
Set Param3 = CMD.CreateParameter("P_REVISION", adVarChar, adParamInput, 2, "04")
CMD.Parameters.Append Param3
Set ParamBlob = CMD.CreateParameter("X_DRAWING", adLongVarBinary, adParamOutput, 200000)
CMD.Parameters.Append ParamBlob
CMD.Execute , , adExecuteNoRecords *** this is where the error occurs
conn.Close
MsgBox CMD.Parameters("RESULT")
End Sub
I've tried using different data types for the varchar2 parameters (adVarChar, adBSTR, adChar) with no difference.
If I pass a bogus value for Param3...."'04'"...the function returns "N" indicating that it actually executed something. But, when I pass the correct value "04", it returns the above mentioned error.
I can execute the function in PL/SQL just fine, so I'm thinking there's something wrong with the parameters, datatype, or other definitions on the Access side.
Does anyone have any thoughts? I'm at a dead end with this. Sorry for the long post. Thank you.

I tried your code with 11107 ODBC/client/database (but with a NULL output blob for convenience sake) and got no errors.
If you're using 92 ODBC/client, you may want to try upgrading to something more current, or at least getting the latest patch(9208) to see if that helps. Since it works for me I'm guessing it may be a resolved bug in that version.
Hope it helps,

Migrating tables from Access 2007 to an Oracle schema

Hi,
I want to migrate some tables(with data) from a remote Access 2007 database to an Oracle schema using Oracle SQL developer version 2.1.1.
Could someone help me with the list of steps that need to be performed for this migration??

Having the .MDB file is not sufficient. You will need to Capture the Access database first. To do so, install SQL Developer on the machine where the Access Database (and Access software) resides.
From the "Tools / Migration / Microsoft Access Exporter" menu, choose to run the exporter corresponding to your version. Once done, transfer the XML generated
file to the machine you usually run the migration.
A tutorial named "Migrating a Microsoft Access Database to Oracle Database 11g" is available at http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/obe/db/hol08/sqldev_migration/msaccess/migrate_microsoft_access_otn.htm
Continue your migration starting from the step "Capturing the Microsoft Access Exported XML"
Cheers,

Import/Export from Access MDB to Oracle DB

Dear Friends,
I need to import a huge table from access to Oracle. I tried to export the file from MS Access to Oracle, it is giving error. I tried another way of doing , i first exported the data to SQL server and then using Export/Import utility of SQL Server, it has imported succesfully. I am not sure which is the best way to import data from ACCESS to Oracle.
Kindly suggest,
Regards,
Vinay

Another approach you might try goes something like this:
1. In Access, link the destination Oracle table (for example, via File, Get External Data, Link Tables...).
2. In Access, create an Append Query to select rows from your Access table and insert them in to the linked Oracle table.

Exporting from Access / Importing to Oracle9i

Hi
I am trying to figure out a way of exporting an Access database to 9i. This is fine if I am just exporting text, I then use Access as the fromt end to Oracle. However I would like to export a database which hold OLE objects (i.e Word docs, and Excel sheets) into 9i and agin connect to it via ODBC with linked tables. Is this possible??? Does anyone know how to, or where I could find info on how to, I would be grateful.
Thanks very much and have a good weekend
John

I think it's unlikely that this is possible. The ODBC protocol doesn't generally support the sending of LONG/ BLOB/ CLOB data, so Access is unlikely to know how to do this. Oracle's ODBC driver does provide support for these datatypes, but it is relatively unique in this regard.

After running Export from Access query the query empties itself

Hello,
I'm facing a weird problem in Access 2010. I have several queries that I sometimes export to both Excel and HTML formats, sometimes when I export, the query empties itself. Meaning, the SQL code disappears from the query and I have to rebuild it before I
can use it again.
Does anyone understand how this can happen?
Kind regards,
Rob Demandt

Dear Kev,
Sure, the queries are relatively simple, an example:
"SELECT AC_DEV_01_AUTOPO_NOSOURCE_US50.F1 AS Material, AC_DEV_01_AUTOPO_NOSOURCE_US50.EersteVanF2 AS [Material Description], AC_DEV_01_AUTOPO_NOSOURCE_US50.EersteVanF6 AS Vendor
FROM AC_DEV_01_AUTOPO_NOSOURCE_US50
WHERE (((AC_DEV_01_AUTOPO_NOSOURCE_US50.EersteVanOpProc)="PJ"));"
The export is indeed invoked using a MACRO that uses the ExportWithFormatting syntax to export a few queries in a row to XLSX and HTML.
Kind regards,
Rob Demandt

Hyperlinks Transfer to PDF From Publisher 2007??

My hyperlinks in Publisher 2007 are not transferring to PDF. I have done a video to better explain it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lsB0Pv_XCs.
Thank you for any help you can give.

Acrobat 9's PDFMaker supports creating links when you convert Publisher 2007 to PDF.
However, the "create link" option must be selected in PDFMaker's Configuration settings.
n.b,. For any Office 2007 application, Acrobat 8.1 or better is required.
Earlier releases do not support Office 2007.
Check you CS4 install. If needed, do the step updates of dot releases to get to the current dot release.
More specifically, for links "on"/"over" an image.
You need to assure that when you use Hyperlink in an Office application the link fully spans the image.
You'd want it to start somewhat to the left of the image and end somewhat to the right of the image.
(if that makes any sense )
Else, in the PDF page content, the link can be "under" the image and not usable.
Be well...

Exporting from Access to Oracle

Hi all,
nowadays we are dealing with an issue of exporting access tables to oracle 11g.Briefly, the problem is our former developers had defined columnnames with space characters in access tables,as you know they are not valid in oracle db.After spending hours on internet we found out that we can export tables to oracle with the same column names if we put a quotation mark (") just before and after the column name which means a column named [Customer Name] in access is gonna be changed to "Customer Name".It looks okey but still looks like an amateur ,daily solution.Dou you know any other solution for our problem and also is the putting quotation marks(") a supported solution for oracle's side.
Thank You
gokhan

Hi,
You can make use of Oracle sql Developer for exporting Access tables or database to Oracle. ORacle sql developer will capture the Access model and then convert it into the Oracle required format. Then using that model you can perform Import in the ORacle Sql Developer.

How to export a table of data from MS Access 2007 to Oracle 11g

I have been looking all over trying to find a way to get a table from Access 2007 to Oracle 11g. I tried using the export options in Access but can't get them setup correctly I guess. What are the steps to setting this up correctly or is there another way to export the data?

Std 9.0 + Access 2007 + network connection, PDFMaker not working anymore

Hello,
when i try to create a PDF file from an Access report, it isn't working anymore when i have a network connection. It worked for months, but yesterday Access 2007 crashed and it asked to deactivate the COM Add-In from PDFMaker and my Co-Worker clicked on yes while i was absent. So even after reactivating the Add-In and reinstalling the whole Acrobat Standard, i can't create any PDFs anymore from Access 2007 while i have a active network connection. When i plug off my network cable, it's working, as soon as i plugin the network cable again, it's not working anymore. And it only happens in Access 2007, PDFMaker in Word, Excel etc is still working fine.
Anyone got some ideas or solutions?
Best regards
Chris

Can you create a PDF by printing to the printer? It sounds like you may simply need to do a repair to Acrobat.

Code to run a query in SQL from Access with pass through query

I have a query in SQL Server 2008:
[Auto Null Up Date].sql. I want to run this query from Access 2007 using a Pass Through Query. What is the command/code to run this query from Access? I have used Pass Through Queries but never in this capacity so I am somewhat lost. I have
already established the OBDC link and tested.

Naomi,
Here are a few lines of the SQLCMD code in the [Auto Null Update].sql query:
USE [Archive Master]
Go
:r "\\10.200.1.60\c$\Users\bkreft\My Documents\SQL Server Management Studio\Projects\Null BackPress 2 update.sql"
GO
:r "\\10.200.1.60\c$\Users\bkreft\My Documents\SQL Server Management Studio\Projects\Null CHWR 3 update.sql"
GO
:r "\\10.200.1.60\c$\Users\bkreft\My Documents\SQL Server Management Studio\Projects\Null CHWR 4 update.sql"
When this code is pasted into a Create Procedure, (the USE [Archive Master] is not used), the procedure will run, but once saved here is what is left of the procedure once I attempt to modify:
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO

Want to export user settings from Office 2007 on client, to be able to import in Office 2013?

Upgrading from Office 2007 to Office 2013. We may need to save the user settings on the client computer, because we are moving some of the systems from 32-bit to 64-bit. How can we export the settings to a folder?

Hi,
Could you please tell us what is included in user setting? Such as the customized Quick Access Toolbar settings, customize ribbon settings, or profile in Outlook?
Generally, we can’t upgrade operating system from 32-bit to 64-bit directly, we need to reinstall 64-bit operating system.
Office 2007 don’t provide the Import/Export button like Office 2010/Office 2013, we can’t export QAT setting and customize ribbon setting directly.
To customize an installation of Office 2013, you can use the Office Customization Tool (OCT) to perform tasks such as the following:
Specifying installation options
Customizing how Office applications and features are installed
Configuring default user settings
Managing additional content: add or remove files, registry entries or shortcuts
Configuring Outlook options: setting the default profile, adding email accounts, and specifying Exchange settings
For more detail information:

It's recommended to download and install

Can only access emails through OWA after migration from exchange 2007 to 2013

can only access emails through OWA after migration from exchange 2007 to 2013, in other words unable to access mails through outlook or from other Applications services.
needed RCA ... plz help..

Hi,
From your description, you can send and receive messages only when you use OWA after migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013. If I have misunderstood your concern, please let me know.
In your case, I recommend you create a new test mailbox in your Exchange 2013 and check if you can send and receive messages on Outlook. If yes, it is recommended to create a new profile to solve this issue.
Hope this can be helpful to you.

Using Powershell Script Run simple query in MS Access 2007 and export the results of query to Excel

Hi Experts,
I have a Access 2007 DB file and 2 Big tables inside that (bigger than the size that can be easily handled by MS Excel 2007).
My requirement is automate using powershell scripts the below things.
1. Create a SQL query in Access DB and save that in access DB
2. Run the saved query and export the result in excel sheet where I can create the charts and Pivots. Thanks in advance
Prajesh

Do you have to use the Access query, couldn't you just recreate the query in Powershell? Here's a link with good info that references an existing script for querying an Access database:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2009/08/13/hey-scripting-guy-can-i-query-a-microsoft-access-database-with-a-windows-powershell-script.aspx
Once you have your dataset you can pipe it to
Export-Csv -NoType c:\pathtofile\output.csv
