Access Tables Behaving Like Queries!!!
Feb 4, 2007
Hi,
I'm a bit puzzled with this so hopefully someone can help me out. I have a database that has around 20 users who key on their vehicle orders. The main orders table has a number of fields. I have started to notice that the 'Order Date' field that gets populated on completion of the record is now blank on almost half the records. (I have retrieved an older copy of the DB and the dates are there, so they did get input at one point). Further more, I have another field called Business Group which is a look up to a linked table. The Orders table is showing the records in Business Group Ascending order for some reason rather than by the primary key. And finally, when I open the table a progress bar appears at the bottom of the screen stating 'running query'. It seems my main table is now behaving like a query and is losing data.
Anybody got an idea what's going on?
And yes I have definately checked it is a table. Im using 97
Cheers

Hi,
I´m having trouble with an automated process.
First, access exports a table to a text file.
Second, excel opens the file and runs a macro on a workbook that contains linked data to the file.
The workbook is linked back in access.
A few days ago I started having problems. Sometimes the file can´t be exported because of authority problems (this is because the excel object doesn´t quit after having done the operations but locks the file so that the next time the process runs, it halts)
Question: Is there a command in VBA that absolutely certain kills the instance of excel? (in worst case I´m ok with a command that kills all instances of excel)
I also have problems within the macro itself. Excel complains about the "range method of global failed" or something like that.
The thing is, it works when I run just this part of the process, but not combined with a few others.
It worked fine until a few days ago, and the only thing I´ve done is that I have added a few graphs on the main form.
Has anyone had similar experiences? Might there be some sort of memory insufficiency?
Fuga.

I have a form which is to do with quotations which i generate. Parent Table 'FrmQuotations' and Sub Table 'FrmQuoteItems' the 2nd table details line items etc.
I have set up a query which takes the total cost prices from the total sell prices to provide a gross profit figure.
In the query, the first item is 'QuoteID' and in the criteria I expected to be able to say [Forms].[FrmQuotation].[QuoteID] so that when in a quotation displayed in FrmQuotation it would automatically generate the query based on the quote id of the open record.
Instead it always asks for the quoteID? Any advice? Thanks.

In my DB, I have a date field. The default format is set as 'dd-mm-yyyy'. I have made query to view the records of a particular day. On hitting the command button which is linked to the query, it asks for the Date input.
Now comes the strange behaviour of the query. If I type 04-06-2007 (i.e. 4th June 2007), records of 06-04-2007 (i.e. 6th April 2007) are shown. If I type 06-04-2007, records of 4th June 2007 are displayed. Why is this strange behaviour? How can I correct this problem? Please help.

I have a database built in Access 2000. It consists of the following tables:
45 tables each containing the same fields - ID, Vehicle, Fit, Part No, Qty, Level, Higher Assembly.
1 table containing the fields - ID, Part Number, Description, Issue No.
The 45 tables are each for a different vehicle build of materials, whilst the single table contains the additional common data that each vehicle form pulls in when the build of materials part number is added.
I want to be able to undertake a search across the 45 vehicle tables to look for a specific part number that I enter in the search box, and then if any is found, for all those vehicle to be displayed, along with the part number, description and issue number from the single table.

I have two identical Access tables, for example tblDataYesterday and tblDataToday. The data from tblDataToday has updated data changes in it that are different from tblDataYesterday. I have a maximum of 100 fields to review. I want to compare the two tables and display in a query the differences between the data from both tables.

I'd like to secure my frontend by disabling access to the linked tables, queries etc. I thought converting to .accde would do this but apparently not. Is there a way that this can be achieved?
I am aware that I can disbale the ribbons etc but they can all be turned back on using the options menu.

We have an Access 2000 backend database resides in a network server drive while users connect to the backend tables with a mde file on their computers. All users have Access 2010 and the mde file was converted from the 2000 frontend with Access 2010.
The database have been running for a few weeks but recently users have been complaining about record lost on the backend table.We have also experienced one incident of data corruption where the main table could not be opened. After Compact & Repair, the table could be opened but a few records were showing xxxxx on all the fields and we have to delete and re-enter these records.Would they relate to using 2010 mde converted from 2000 frontend when the backend is still in 2000? I am a little nervous about converting both the frontend and backend to 2010 since I have heard various issues on the new version.

I am using Access 2010.I have a table that I am using to pull my data from other tables and a query.My table is called tblMyData.One of the field names is level1. This field points to another table, and gives the user the choices for states (examples California, Texas, Maine).
Another field name is level2. This field points to another table and give the user the choice for type of customer (examples Business, Consumer)
The field name level3 points to a query. The query, qryFinalChoice matches up the choices based on level1 and level2.for example, the user can pick California for level1, business in level2 and California Widgets or Los Angeles Clothing store in level3 (plus about 20 other choices).
If the user picks Texas for level1, business in level2, business in level2 and Houston rugs, or Texas style restaurant in level3 (or about 15 other choices).
-I am recording 1 for California on level1, 2 for Texas and 3 for Maine in level1.
-I am recording 1 for business and 2 for consumer on level2.
The query qryFinalChoice has all the combinations for state, business or consumer, and lastly business name or consumer name.
-qryFinalChoice has line1 to match up the choices for level1 in my table.
-qryFinalChoice has line2 to match up the choices for level2 in my table.
-qryFinalChoice has line3 to match up the choices for level3 in my table.
I do not want any of the Texas business names appearing when the user picks California, or vice versa.
My SQL in my tblMyData tab for level3 looks like this:
Select line1 from qryFinalChoice where line1=1;
I am able to get all the line items where California is a selection.How do I change my SQL to pull all the line1 choices where I have selected from level1, and all the line2 choices where I have selected from level2 automatically based on my pulldowns?

finding some way to import my tables from excel into access 2007 with comments still inside their boxes.
one of the columns in my table is called "Order No" and each field contains a Comment as a note to go with the order.
Is there a way to keep this setting when importing the tables into access 2007?

I have a split database.(Access 2010).Three of the linked tables are Appointments, Appointments_OLD, Appointments_NEW.
I want to use vba to rename Appointments as Appointments_OLD (replacing the current one) and to rename Appointments_NEW as Appointments (replacing the current one)
I have used:
'replace Appointments_OLD by Appointments, replace Appointments by Appointments_NEW
DoCmd.Rename "Appointments_OLD", acTable, "Appointments"
DoCmd.CopyObject , "Appointments", acTable, , "Appointments_NEW"
Unfortunately this just made Appointments and Appointments_NEW clones of one another - changes in one automatically occur in the other.
What I actually want to do is to swap the names round in the backend database while maintaining the right links to the frontend.
Is this possible using vba in the frontend?

Hello, this is my first post (anywhere ever)!:eek:
While I have lots of Access programming experience over the years I have broken new ground this week and am in unchartered territory and need help please!
In the organization I am working for (as Procurement Manger), we use AMMS (by Microwest) for work order generation and inventory management, etc. I have been able to import into Access the tables of interest from this SQL-based package. The problem is that I need to share the tables (via nice front end forms/queries) with about 20-30 people in the field.
I don't know much about ODBC but the administrator of AMMS was kind enough to give me access to the AMMS database tables via ODBC and I, personally have access to read the table data but none of the other people in the field can access these tables due to security rights.
So, what I have done is I created MS Access tables for each of the 4 AMMS tables of interest and I run code that runs delete and append queries on each table. I then have a separate public db that the field people access with all the queries and forms but only links to the Master db containing the 4 Access tables derived from the ODBC tables. This works ok but there are issues:
1) if any field people are on the Public db, the code to import the ODBC table data loops and does not complete the delete/append cycle on one or more of the tables. I can only refresh the table data when nobody is connected to the db - impractical.:(
2) the ODBC tables are rather large - one is over 38,000 records and it takes several minutes to run the delete/append queries.:mad:
3) When I created the Master db it was some 83MB. After running the delete/append queries it is some 179MB and appears to increase in size every time I run the delete/append code. When I run "compact db" it stops running after a short time. Does nothing but create a new file (db1.mdb) of the same huge size as the Master.:confused:
I suspect the most graceful solution would be to give each user rights to the ODBC tables from AMMS in Access. In this case, I wouldn't have to run delete/append queries and the data would always be in relative real time subject to the refresh timer. Unfortunately, due to AMMS licensing restrictions, this is not doable.
I have tried to search the internet for guidance but no luck. This forum appears to be an excellent opportunity to get expert advice on this particular issue. I thank you for your thoughts and guidance.

I have multiple tables that are created from some software that puts them each into the access database. each table is one year of data. the software cannot put all years into one table because of memory. I want to combine these tables into one. In addition, I need to do some manipulatins: the dates come over as MM-DD-YYYY strings and I need to convert them to dates MM/DD/YYYY, and also I need to parse a string to extract the General Ledger account number. I know how to use this easily from within Excel VBA using dateserial, and Instr etc., but now sure how/if I put some code into access and have it called to do this for me automatically. Each night the most recent year is automatically updated in access, so the combination file needs to be refreshed whenever the most recent year file changes.
I currently doing all of this in excel: first initialize the NewCombinedTable, then one by one dumping each year file into an excel worksheet, doing the work needed, then appending it to the NewCombinedTable. However, I think it would work much quicker if I was able to trigger the Combination to happen in Access along with the data manipulations.
I also need to know whether DAO or ADO is best for me to use with 2010...

I have a stock control database which i have nearly completed. This has Manufacturer, which is linked to products, which is linked to Sub Product(which also has field partCode). i.e. Manufacturer1 can have 3 products, and each of these products could have 5 subsystems and partcodes. Each partcode is unique to that subsystem/product/manufacturer.
I then have a pricing spreadsheet in excel, which has many tabs. A new column has been added for each item for Manufacturer,Product,Subsystem and Partcode.
I need to import these manufacturers,products,subsystems and partcodes, but into the tables with the correct relationships, i.e. product1 and product2 are products of manufacturer1 and so cannot come under manufacturer2, and so on.
I hope this makes sense, Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

Im trying to work on an db in Access 2007 that was migrated from Access 2003 (in fact its been migrated several times starting from Access 97). It executes and runs with no problems in both versions.
The problem is when trying to open some queries (not all) - Access is unable to open the query in design mode and gives me this error :
" is not a valid name. Make sure that it does not include invalid characters or punctuation and that it is not too long.
However, as I cant open it - I cant check it. Im pretty sure none of the fields have invalid characters (they do have spaces) and Im not sure how long is too long....

I have two queries, one base upon the other. I would like to combine them (If Possible) into one query so I can embed them into a form or report. I have tried without success at finding the answer on the forum as well as searching the web.
The table lists employee numbers and dates they worked. I need a count of how many employees worked each year, based upon the paycheck date, not the actual date worked. Pay check dates are two weeks apart. An extreme example, is the first pay check date of 2010 was on 1/1/2010, but all the days worked were in 2009, this would have to be included in 2010 not 2009(See the query for further date calculation understanding). Anyway, the date calculations are not the issue here.
I only have one table, so if I am not mistaken, I can't use the WHERE (SELECT... JOIN) feature. I also was unsuccessful at using SQL DISTINCT.
I am running ACCESS 2010 Tables are ACCESS 2007.
OS is Windows 7 Ultimate.
I have included a same database with the queries. qryEmployeesAnually2 is the results I am trying to achieve.
