Accurately Splitting Up Last-name / First-name From A Sharepoint Link Into A Query?
May 30, 2012
I'm trying to separate LastName, FirstName into separate fields : FirstName and LastName. The code I have is working for the most part. But I had to create a separate query with the replace statement to get rid of the ","... Looking at the data now, I had people with names like Mac Buren, Tony and I'm only picking up the Mac part in my query.
Code:
SELECT Left([Employee Name],InStr([Employee Name]," ")) AS qryLastName, Right([Employee Name],Len([Employee Name])-InStrRev([Employee Name]," ")) AS [First Name], Employees.*
FROM Employees
ORDER BY Left([Employee Name],InStr([Employee Name]," "));
I am attempting to split my Access Database and will upload the back-end portion to a SharePoint site. No matter what I do, I continue to get a "Not a valid file name" error.
i have a opened date[default value =Now()] and resolved date[default value =Now()].
i would like to calculate the time elapsed between the two dates. it is normally on the same day, but there are instances where it can run past midnight.
I am splitting a database and have created the Back end already. When I create the front end and link to the tables on the back end... The front end does not link to all the tables in the back end. The list that comes up when creating the linkings does not show all the tables in the back end. What would cause this?
My data is on Sharepoint. I have a simple Crosstab query that works well unless I choose the option "Cache List Data". In that case I get a Type Mismatch error.
Code: TRANSFORM Sum(PivotData.QuoteTotal) AS SumOfQuoteTotal SELECT PivotData.FullName FROM PivotData GROUP BY PivotData.FullName PIVOT PivotData.StatusText;
I need to split a field in my query into two separate fields, e.g fullname into a first and last name, so "John Smith" will appear in two columns, "John" and "Smith".
I am trying to split the year into thirds instead of the quarter. I will be needing to set the criteria to only show me the previous year from the current year. Can this be done in one query?
Apologies if this sounds vague , but I have developed a number of reports for an sql database which have selection criteria in certain forms. nothing too sophisticated . The company wants to increase the availability of the reports and the selection forms. Unfortunately Access on everyones PC is not part of the plan. The concensus in the IT team is that Sharepoint is the route.
Does anyone know what would be required (in the way of programs , expertise etc) to convert or adapt an access database so that the forms and subsequent reports would be available sharepont.
I have had a dig around and I am not sure that our IT boys have got the full picture, I think that Sharepoint is dependent on access but I am not certain.
I would like to publish my access file in sharepoint but I know very little about sharepoint and how to attain a free or testing or trial account. Essentially I would like others to access and edit the file on the web simultaneously.
All youtube sites speaks to how to get started using sharepoint but always assuming that you already have access but this is not my case. I need to know how to acquire sharepoint.
On my computer there is a sharepoint application which I installed but it seems to have no purpose.
I have a Access - front end / SQL Server - back end application. I use an ODBC connection. I want to publish this on share point. The users have a windows account but they are not on the network. I can not create an ODBC connection for them. There is any way they can use this application? Can I connect in different way to SQL?
I have a database that the table is located on a sharepoint website. This worked out well in the beginning but now that the database has thousands of records, it has slowed up a bit. What I want to do is at the load of the the database, it will automatically copy Sharepoint table to a local table located on the computer to speed up querys and such.
I currently utilize my company's LAN structure to run my Access database from. The LAN structure is abhorrently slow. So slow that often the database crashes upon opening or can take many minutes to complete a menial command.
I realize that connecting my database to the internet would be a better solution (as our internet connection seems to work better). This would allow many users to interact with the database more easily as well. I also realize that SharePoint is the standard method of connecting the database either by linking tables or publishing the database itself. However, my company does not have SharePoint and I am tired of battling with them on obtaining it.
Is there another way to connect/link Access tables to the internet without SharePoint? One that is FREE. I know with Access 2003 you could connect Access to an HTML webpage, but I think Microsoft got rid of that functionality with 2010 and beyond to force users into utilizing SharePoint.
I currently have two Access Databases (one with the raw 'data' and the other with the queries and reports that turn it into 'information' - the data database links into the other).
For contingency purposes, I now want to move both Databases onto sharepoint in case I have a system failure on my laptop (I don't have a server I can put these on). When I upload these onto Sharepoint the second database still seems to link to the file on my computer..
Is there a way I can get a Database to link into another database that's held on sharepoint?
I believe a sharepoint BE with an Access FE is just a data stream isn't it? I don't think the displays are actually form objects, they're just representations and the data in the background streams to and fro.
What controls and placeholders on forms *not* to use if an Access application will eventually be migrated to Sharepoint or Office 365? I don't have much experience with either of these.
I'm just starting out to learn SharePoint, which I utterly hate thus far but anyway. So I have successfully linked to the sharepoint list in my DB, but I cannot edit any values for some reason. I can edit them in sharepoint and both systems update, but when I type in ANY box in access I get "Invalid arguement" error.... also note the new record button near the record navigators is greyed out so I can't add a record either.
I noticed that my library user group has URL... set to Read while all others are set to full control... is this the cause or something else?
I have a sharepoint database accdw which works well as I can update something and sync it to the server, and another user with the same database can receive the changes just by syncing.
However, I want to share a version of this database with a different start up form, some restricted forms etc. If I make a copy of the accdb it creates and make changes to that, it still synchronises those changes and they affect my own version.
What is the correct way to create a different database version from my accdw?
All I want to do is take the accdb it creates, change the startup form and give it to somebody to use.
I am importing data from a sharepoint list on to Access 2007, as linked data where any changes I make on Access is made to the list and vice versa. However, I recently made a change to one of the column types and this change is not being made on Access. I have changed a column type from choice to single line of text but I still see the list of choices when I access the list on Access 2007.
I have refreshed the list by right clicking the linked list and pressing refresh list. The list is set to not cache the list and is not set to work offline so cannot see why the change is not being made. I don't want to mess with the list be removing it and re-adding it as I have multiple queries set up which are being fed in to an excel file I use to create reports from the data. I have no knowledge of VBA, so there is none of that being used on Access.
I found 2 examples of code to refresh my attached table link to sharepoint lists.
I have a scheduled task open my Access 2010 db and an autoexec macro runs and closes the db.
My problem is my tables disconnect from sharepoint 2010 and the update fails.
I added the code I found to a module and added a line in my macro to run the code. Now I cannot get the code to work.
Am I at least on the right track? I just want to know before I spend many hours getting this code to work.
These are the two locations of code I found.

I think part of my problem is that I have a regular table that I add a txt file to that is not linked to sharepoint so I need to exclude it from the code.
Is there a tutorial on how to split a database so that it can be uploaded to a sharepoint site and one part of it allows updates and the other part only viewing?
