Just been upsizing an Access DB. It seems to create views and functions for normal select statements and stored procedures are only created for insert or update statements.
As fas as a recent DBA told me, he said that views should be used sparingly as they are not very efficient. Is this the case?
I also don't see why you would create a function when you could use a stored procedure to so the same SELECT statement(s)?
Hi,
I am switching from sql server to msaccess and cannot find an equivalent of a stored procedure in access.
The task I want to do is the following.
1. I have a table with many field.s
2. I want to loop through all the fields and replace records which have a value of 0 with NULL.
How could I do this without writing seperate update statements for each of the fields.
Thanks.
How do you make stored procedures in microsoft access 2003, can you actually do this or is it not part of access?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an Access mdb that has a bunch of tables linked from a SQL Server. On the SQL Server I have some stored procedures that do inserts into various tables. In the Access db I have some local (lookup) tables, queries, and other things that for various reasons can't/don't need to be stored in the SQL server. I'm using Windows authentication to connect to the SQL server because the security is managed through our domain.
I want to write a form that has unbound text fields that, when I submit the form passes all of those values as parameters to a stored procedure in the SQL server. I have written just such a form in an .adp file, which handles the integrated security nicely.
However, I'd rather do this in a regular .mdb file. I've read up on how I can use an ADO connection to do this, then create a SQL string to EXECUTE the stored proc, grab all the values off the form, and build the SQL.
But the problem with this solution is the authentication - I can't use the SA user and password in this connection string, I'd have to utilize the logged-in user's information.
Is there an easier way to execute the stored procedure from an .mdb? Using the integrated authentication?
Failing that, is there a way that I can create "local" (to the .adp) tables, queries, and so on in an .adp?
I come from a SQL Server background and am very familiar with store dprocedures and input parameteres.
Is there a way to use a similar method in Access. or example, passing parameters from a button on a form to a query, which can change depending on the input parameter? If so, how ?
Also, how much scope do you have in this for running SQL IF statements and such in the query? It seems that many Access queris can only have one statement at a time.
Sometimes when I send a copy of an Access 2003 application to a remote user, a stored procedure or function will disappear. What causes this, and how can I get the entire application over to the users?
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I am calculating two fields (qtyorder-qtydesp) in a stored procedure.
The second field is from another query (view) which may not have a record relating to the main record (stored procedure).
The problem is the second field is simply left blank but I need it to be 0.
It makes the calculation in turn result in a blank field, i.e. 1-0 should equal 1 but because of the blank field it returns a null value.
I found that the good old Nz function wont work with stored procedures, is there any alternative?
Thanks,
James
hey everyone!
Is there an option to use Triggers and stored procedures in access 2003?
thanks!!!
hello :)
how can i create a view in access? is it possible using any of the wizards or can i even use the sql coding feature??
is it possible to grant views to users???
Is there a tool that converts Access querys (jet syntax) to sql views and procedures (sql server syntx)?
Thanks
Hi, can someone tell me if there is a way to save several different datasheet views? I have a large database with many fields. I use forms for data entry, but to view the data I use the table datasheet (so I can see multiple records at a glance). But every time I have to manually move, freeze, and hide columns to get the view I want!! Is there a way to save several different datasheet layouts that I can access the view I want with one click? because I am tired of freezing/hiding columns every single time.
Many thanks
Hi Pals,
Is it possible to create VIEWS for access Tables....
If its possible... How its pls ? :confused:
Hi all,
I write a program which is querying some data from a MS-Access database.
The problem here is, that the tablenames contain characters like "/" or "-" and I
do not want to change these names, because I think that the database
structure will be damaged.
To solve this problem I thought of creating a view to the table. I tried creating
this with a SQL statement, but that did not work.
Is there any other possibilty to create a view on a MS-Access table?
Regards,
Stefan
In Access can I link to a SQL Server view? I am currently linking to the
SQL Server tables in my database and don't have any views. But if I can link to views I could give the workgroup permissions in Access to the views, not to the primary tables. This would provide some added security from the user who bypasses my switchboard forms and goes to modify the Access tables directly.
I am trying to remove the built in form views from access 97. Is it possible to remove the navigational functions of the form while in view mode (ie first record, previous record, search, next record, and last record)? There is also an arrow bar that has no functionality to it placed at the left side of my forms that I would like to get rid of. Is this possible? Thanks for your help!
View 4 Replies View RelatedIs it possible (haven't found a way yet) to have two "split subforms" on a parent form side-by-side? When I try the multiple rows portion of the split view I created as a subform doesn't appear?
Want to have a form when I have search/filter/select record for table 1 (on the left) and table 2 (on the right) with a means in between to create a relationship which has a few parameters.
I am creating a form here
the Main form need to fill in (or may already fill in in another form) some headings like date, name, memo details, ect.
On the subform, there is a procedure list out all the steps and need to fill out who have done this step, and date, etc
My main problem is on the subform, I have no idea how to create the "list out all steps". Because there are too many steps here, it may waste a lot of time if I have to type in the procedure name for each steps.
I have created a table of all steps' names.
Thank you for your hlep!!!

Hi Guys,
Does anyone have any experience of writing to an Access database via Web.
Do you think it is feasible, for an online entry form, to have 'customers' input their details or wahtever, then this info is sent to some sort of flat file?CSV is it called?
Then the admin can check these, then import to DB quite easily?
I developed a database for a group and i want to be able to prevent anyone from mucking things up.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have run a query that reports the following information. I am using Access 2007
Model (Text)
Start Time (Time)
Step (1-5)
I have a report that is grouped by step and I have Force new page selected for this group. So the idea is that each page will show the models and start times for each step on separate pages.
Since the width of what I am showing is not very wide I want two columns so that when there is too much data the data will just continue in the next column rather than create a new page. This way all the information for each step will be contained on one page.
I am running into problems when there isn't enough data for a given step to fill up the entire first column. Access is placing the next data set (Step #2 for example) in the next column rather than on its own page. Does access view a new column as a new page? I thought that selecting "Force new page" for my group would force a new physical page and not just dump the next data set into the next column.
:eek: I can't seem to find one that will do what i want.
I have a tabbed interface. Tab one has details about that record e.g. clients
Tab two is an input form that lets you add new client
Basically after i added the client i want to go back to view this record in the first tab. i can put a button with Me.Requery, works fine.
Is there an Event Procedure on the form i can use to do this automatically?
Anyone got any good links to event procedures explanations.
Front end access 2010, back end SQl-server 2008 R2.I have all talbes and views connected to the server and due to incorrect results I found out, that the views from the server deliver incorrect data.Of course I refreshed the views in the access front end I even deleted them and connected them for new, but the incorrect data, even a different field sequence (!) remain.in a certain field there can be two different values: 1 and 2.
If opening the view I can only see 1, on the server the view shows 1 and 2, in the records, whatever is the value.This is not a calulated field.When checking this in a query in access I can select on value 2 (although I cannot see it!!) and I get the correct records but in the field itself the values still show as 1 !!
Same with other values in other fields. When I take the same SQL from the view in a stored procedure and execute is from access I get the correct data!!On both, view and sp I have the same permissions on the server!why views show incorrect data?
Hello, I ran into another programming road block.
I currently have a combo box that is bound to a table with 2 fields and has 4 different options/records in it, with an after update procedure, that has different calculations for each record. I want to add a Dlookup command that will display
the record that is chosen and it will need to be placed in the
after update procedure of the combo box also. Is this possible?
Code that is currently in the after update procedure of the combo box.
Dim prp As Property, ctl As Control
Set prp = Me!cboRidge.Properties("ListIndex")
Set ctl = Me.txtRidgetot
If prp = 0 Then
ctl = ([txtridge]*100/30)+0.4
ElseIf prp = 1 Then
ctl = ([txtridge]*100/45)+0.4
ElseIf prp = 2 Then
ctl = ([txtridge]*100/30)+0.4
Else
ctl = ([txtridge]*100/30)+0.4
End If
Set ctl = Nothing
Set prp = Nothing
Code I need to add:
Me.DLookcbotile.Requery
Thanks-- any help will be very appreciated.
I was working on a form in a database I have created, when I suddenly found myself unable to view any of the related Event Procedures.
I can still see [Event Procedure] next to each field, control, etc., as well as next to the On Open event. I just can't view any of them. I appear to be able to view the Events behind all other forms, it just isn't working for this particular one.
Clicking on the '...' to the right of the line does nothing, nor does right-clicking on this symbol and trying to access 'Build'.
Logging out of the Db, then back in, achieved nothing. Nor did rebooting the PC.
The only other peculiar thing I've noticed is that if I attempt to make a copy of this one form I get the message 'name conflicts with existing module, project or object library'. This message is displayed regardless of what name I enter.
Everthing was working fine, earlier on. Now I'm effectively locked out.
Does anyone have any ideas?
