I am trying to create a command button that when clicked does the following:
1) Automatically closes any MS Access applications that are running.
2) Exports records for selected features to a dbf, overwriting any existing data in the dbf.
3) Automatically opens Access and a particular report.
I need to close Access before the rest of the code runs because I get an error with my geoprocessing tool if the code has been run previously and Access is still open. The problem I am encountering is that my code runs fine the first time it is executed but if I try to run it again I receive the following error:
"Run-time error '462': The remote server machine does not exist or is unavailable."
I have tried to resolve the problem and think it has to do with non-explicit referencing but I can't figure out how to solve it. The issue seems to arise with the first procedure for quitting Access (see code below). I am very new to programming so my code can probably be improved significantly considering that it is just a patchwork of other people's code I found on the net. Any guidance people can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Private Sub ExportPlots_Click()
'Create the Access object
Dim oAccess As Access.Application
Set oAccess = Access.Application
'Quit Access
oAccess.Quit '<--This is where the error occurs the second time the code is run.
'Release Access Object
Set oAccess = Nothing
'Create the Geoprocessor object
Dim GP As Object
Set GP = CreateObject("esriGeoprocessing.GpDispatch.1")
'Set the toolbox
GP.Toolbox = "C:\My Documents\Monitoring\Gabes_Toolbox.tbx"
'Execute tool
GP.ExportPlotsTool "plot_locations", "C:\My Documents\Monitoring\Table1.dbf"
'New instance of Access
Set oAccess = New Access.Application
'Create Report object
Dim sReport As String
sReport = "Cover_By_Life_Form"
'Open Vegpolots db
oAccess.Visible = True
oAccess.OpenCurrentDatabase _
"C:\My Documents\Monitoring\east_ca_vegplots_082310_Gabes.mdb", False
'Open report
oAccess.DoCmd.OpenReport sReport, acViewReport, , , acWindowNormal
'Cleanup
Set oAccess = Nothing
Set GP = Nothing
End Sub
