Alter Table Rename Column
Jul 25, 2005
Hopefully someone can help....
I'm trying to change the name of a column in a table using SQL. I've tried different combinations but always get
"Syntax error in Alter Table statement"
SQL I've tried
alter table tblImport
rename column F1 to [Date];*
alter tblImport
rename column F1 to [Date];
alter table tblImport
rename F1 to [Date];
I've checked this out via some SQL sites & think the first version (*) is correct....can someone throw light on this? I'm using Access2000

I am importing different excel sheets into Access dB using a file dialog. The importing works fine however, I would like to rename the tables once they are imported to the name of the first column heading. Where exactly would I ad the name change at in this code?
#' Open the EXCEL file and read the worksheet names into a collection
Set colWorksheets = New Collection
Set objWorkbook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open(StrFileName, , blnReadOnly, , _
strPassword)
For lngCount = 1 To objWorkbook.Worksheets.Count
colWorksheets.Add objWorkbook.Worksheets(lngCount).Name
[Code] .....

Hi:
MS Access
In query:
I write
ALTER TABLE table_name
RENAME COLUMN old_name to new_name;
But, it doesn't work, because "Rename" is NOT avaliable.
How can I fix that?
Thanks.

Is there any way to use a select query where it will select the values off of my database but temporarily use a different column name for one of the columns???
I have 3 different item names stored in my main table. When I compare this to another table, I want to select one of the item names and just pass that as item_name. This way, I can have the same compare routine instead of writing a different compare routine for each item name. Any way? Thanks a lot for the help in advance!

I have two tables (Access 2010). One with a list of names (List1) and another with a very similar list of names (List2), but they differ in very small ways. For example, List1 might have John Smith, and List2 would have Smith, John L.; and Smith, John. List2 also has a unique ID associated with these names that I need to append to List1.
I need to design a form that will allow me to look up names in List1, and have it return all names that are similar in List2. I then need to be able to choose with record in List2 matches with the List1 entry (based on a few other columns in List2, such as birth date) and have the form add that unique ID to the List1 record.
PS: I am using Access 2010

I want to add a column to an existing table using the sql statement Alter table. The new column needs to be a yes/no type. The following code almost works but it only sets the column to a general logical type not specifically the yes/no check box .
DoCmd.RunSQL "Alter Table TblIssues Add [" & Issue & "] logical;"
Any ideas?

Helo…please really need your help.
I designed a small desktop database to automatically import some Log files. A sample of a transmit log file (emails sent from our rural email stations) looks like this when imported in access.
Date Time Direction SenderMessageID
03062005 133501To InternetemailX@ab.comBlablabla
03062005 125001To InternetemailQ@ab.comBlablabla
03062005 125001To InternetemailZ@ab.comBlablabla
03062005 125001To InternetemailA@ab.comBlablabla
I would like to be able to query all emails sent between one date and another. However, the date here is recorded has a string or text. I would like to automatically add a field with the date as Date/Time datatype in the Table. I think I should be able to do this with a few SQL statement like ALTER TABLE myTable ADD COLUMN NewDate AS datetime…and then another SQL statement to separate data and put it into this new field.
Then I could query for BETWEEN Date1 and Date 2 easily.
I’m pretty close but been trying for a while now and always error messages as results. I think I really NEED help this time.
Thank you,
Ghislain Bob Hachey

I have an Access 2010 front end with linked tables via ODBC to a SQL Server back end. Is it possible to add, delete, and otherwise alter the tables on the SQL server from the Access front end? I've tried the following but received an error "cannot execute data definition statements on linked data sources"
DoCmd.RunSQL "alter table [dbo_tblAccountsMvOld] add column [cnt] byte;"
Is there code that will let me do this?

We have a database which has a table with 2 fields - here is an example of the data:
Order File Path
240971 cclapps1scannerWorks Orders 2008Works Orders 2008ITL1ITL1TMSPC11.GFD
We basically need to change the file path to read cclapps3 instead of cclapps1 in every record.

I am attempting to update an oracle table using MS Access.
One of the fields to be updated is a primary key number field.
I'd like to use the autoincrement field to update that field.
My sql is:
Code:
Alter table testAutoNum Add column progid autoincrement (1001,2)
This sql nicely creates the new field in the table, but it doesn't start at 1001 and increment by 2; it starts and 1 and increments by 1.It is also creating an autonumber and I need it to be a number.
What am I doing wrong?

I've been asked to come up with a way (one-off) of renaming over 100 hundred tables. The table are all called "STUD_ADMIN_blah". We need to remove the "STUD_ADMIN_" part of the table name.
Is there a nice easy way of doing this without having to physically rename each table individually?
Thanks in advance.

I made the novice mistake of originally naming a field street #, so I changed it. I went to every place I thought it might affect and still it will not let me access my forms. Is there anyway to find all of the locations it might be and remove it? I am using Access 2010

This is complex, but here goes.
I am copying many many music cds to my hard drive. However, the song file names on the cds are track01.mp3, track02.mp3, etc. I have all the real songnames for each cd listed in the database. I need a way to rename the songs with their real names one cd at a time. My thought was to populate one table with the directory and filenames (track--) of the songs and populate another table with real songnames from the database. Then, somehow, rename the files. I'm lost. I hope someone can help!

I was working on my DB, cleaning up some of the field name that were cumbersome and everything worked fine. Today I was doing some follow up work and I cannot change the field names. All I want to do it change the name of a field from CITY to City, but it won't let me do it. I have tried, change from single click to double click, but I was already using double click to open an object; unchecked Auto-Correct, still nothing.
Yesterday I was able to modify a name from Actions to Action (simply deleting one letter. And State/Province to StateProvince. Worked fine. What bothers me is that I have been able to change a field name before and now I can't. I have tried compact and restore, etc.

I made a Point of sale using a form with different sub-forms which have command buttons on it. They basically run a append query from tblStockMain to table cash and on to transactions. That works all fine no problem.
The one missing thing to make it sweet is to rename the command buttons automatically from tblStockMain. With other words, if I change a product in the table it would change the name on the button and the picture if possible with it.
Is there a way to do it?

Hello everyone.
I've been in a new position for a new company for less than three weeks, and I need some help.
The Access database that we use has been in operation since 2002, and it has never been Compacted/Repaired (I asked my coworkers and supposed IT people, and they said "what's that?").
After adding *one* new field, I've reached the horrific "error 3190" (max 255 fields).
I've tried all of the following, allowing at least 12 hours for them to run, but I cannot:
export the data to Excel
import the data into a new database
copy/paste the records (because there are 12100+ and the max is 9500, I think; and because of the way the dd/mm/yy converted itself to dd/mm/yyyy)
or rename the table with the data.
Please, someone help me.
