Path und Dateiname in eine Stringvariable als MsgBox ausgeben.

[Wasser2021]

Hallo VBA Freunde. Ich gestehe ich tue mich mit VBA wirklich schwer.. Brauche Hilfe möchte im Grunde nur eine Tonaufzeichnung indizieren um diese weiterverarbeiten zu können..
Deshalb hier der Versuch die notwendigen Variablen auszuprobieren..

Private Sub Option18_Click()
'Pfad, Dateinahmen in eine Stringvariable speichern
'Beispiel: C:\Temp\Blabla.wma
Dim sPfad As String, sName As String


sPfad = "C:\Temp" 'anpassen
sName = "blabla.wma" 'anpassen
MsgBox "sPfad", "sName"
End Sub

'Geht leider nicht, Meldung Laufzeitfehler 13 Typen unverträglich
In einem anderen Beispiel wird nur der Variablen Namen angezeigt aber nicht der Inhalt?
Z. B.
Dim V1 asString
V1 = "Dateipath"
MsgBox V1
Angezeigt wird nur V1 nicht der Inhalt?

Es wäre nett, wenn mir hier jemand auf die Sprünge helfen könnte.

for the benefit of responders, this is a translation of the OP's post

Hello VBA friends. I confess I have a really hard time with VBA ..
I need help, basically just want to index a sound recording in order to be able to process it further ..
Therefore the attempt to try out the necessary variables here.

Private Sub Option18_Click ()
'Save path, file name in a string variable'
Example: C: \ Temp \ Blabla.wma
Dim path As String, sName As String
sPfad = "C: \ Temp" 'adjust
sName = "blabla.wma" 'adjust
MsgBox "path", "sName"
End Sub

Unfortunately this does not work, message runtime error 13 types incompatible
In another example only the variable name is displayed but not the content?
E.g.Dim V1 asString
V1 = "file path"
MsgBox V1
Only V1 is displayed, not the content?

It would be nice if someone could help me out here.

Hi VBA GUI's it would be nice, if someone has a solution for the problem, put a data path into a string variable and declare a MsgBox to approve it, for further usage ?

[Wasser2021]

Thanks for the translation, I'm new here and my English, like my VBA skills, could be improved. :-)) It would be nice if someone would have mercy to help me on the "jumps" (German slang)
To get to the heart of the problem, it is about the correct definition of the variables in the path of a file (path, file name, extension) for further processing. To check that, I have chosen the MsgBox here.
But it doesn't work. Error message type is incompatible.
Thanks in advance.

Have you even tried davegri's code?

It just worked fine for me.?

Yours had spaces in the path, where spaces are not allowed?

Hello Welshman, I read your comment and agreed to it. Well it works the way I need it now.
My next step is to change the filename with an index, for example a simple counter.
I need it because I have my own database to learn a foreign language, in this case Suomi (Finnish) and English together.

[Wasser2021]

Hello dave gri, thank you very much for your help.
I can now add a counter to my code to modify the filename with it. I need this for my learning database to practice pronunciation.
I will add a for next loop for this.
I had originally defined an OLE field for the sound in my database table. However, the system hangs up. That's why I saved the address of the sound recording as a text field with the path and the file name. Unfortunately, there is no field property in Access that enables it to be called, such as a hyperlink. I very much hope that I can solve the problem with the sound recordings after all, so I could finally start learning the language properly. If you can help me there again, I will of course be happy to accept it. Thank you and greetings from Finland.

[davegri]

Unfortunately, there is no field property in Access that enables it to be called, such as a hyperlink.

Have a look at this:

Hyperlink.Follow method (Access) | Microsoft Docs

The hyperlink address in the example is a website URL, but it can be a path on your hard disk.

High VBA Fans :-)) I am a step further, i could start my voice recorder and modify the sound filename with record number into predefined location.
The next step is to start the media player to hear the recorded sound. But this dammed VBA will not understand my intention.

MsgBox "Sound begins" 'Ok
path = path & record & sName 'ok
MsgBox "path =" & path

StartMedia player:sCommand = ("wmplayer.exe / path") ' Here is the Problem... I can start MP, but could not give the filename with it ?
' has someone an idea to start the MPlayer with filename. In my case filename is content of ' variable "path"

CreateObject ("WScript.Shell"). Run sCommand, 1, True

[Welshgasman]

I would expect it would be more like

StartMedia player:sCommand = ("wmplayer.exe / " & path)

[Micron]

or
= ("wmplayer.exe" & "/" & path)?

Hi guys, thank you very much for all of your answers. I was able to solve all of my VBA problems, now. My database is now up and running and I can finally start learning my Finnish and English at the same time. My original problem is handling the VBA editor. Usually I don't understand the syntax, sometimes a comma, sometimes a bracket or "this special character is necessary in print or messages.
Example: This prompt:
doCmd.copyObject, ([target database], [new name], [source object type as AcObjectty = ac standard]], [source object name]

I really don't understand what VBA doesn't want?
I'm assuming a table in one project will be copied to another? But what does NewName mean? Anyway, I spend a lot of time with it and will go further. I am glad to have friends here who are willing to help, even if they are unprofessional.

Care to explain that? It comes across as an insult to somebody, but who was acting in that manner? Perhaps you meant to say "even if they are not professionals." ?

Regarding [new name] - I didn't see it in a prior post so I imagine you copied it from somewhere. Anything in brackets [ ] is usually a field name. Often when looking at sample code you'll see words that are meant to describe what should go in there but it is done in a short form. Whoever provides the sample could put

[use your own name here for the name of the new item]

but it's much easier to use [new name] expecting the reader will make the connection. You can see that it is explained in a different fashion here. Note that in the sample you posted there is a space between 2 words that represent the name. You should not use special characters (except perhaps for underscore) and never spaces between words that make up an object name. At the link I provided, there is no space in the example syntax thus brackets are not used. If there are no spaces but there are brackets, it will work fine but it is unnecessary typing if used.

[davegri]

even if they are unprofessional

I expect this is just a misunderstand of English nuance.
