Append New From External Database
Apr 3, 2006
Hi there I'm attempting to import records from an external database without losing the records that I currently have.
Eg if I have 3 records in my main database and 5 in the external one, I only want to append the 2 missing records and leave the other 3 alone.
Ideally what I want to do is the below
SELECT * INTO table
FROM [MS Acess;DATABASE=\pathexternal_data.mdb].[table]
WHERE id NOT IN (SELECT id FROM table)
Any ideas where I'm going wrong with the above?
Thanks for your help!!!
Tony

This is probably very simple and I feel I should know how, but I'm drawing a blank. How can I launch an external database when I click on a button?
Thanks

I am trying to move data in one table to a table in an external database and Access isn't playing ball. Supposedly you can use the 'IN' clause to link to an external database but if I put it in then I get 'Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement' and if I take it out it works fine not that, that is what I want. It's syntax seems to be defined like below at the MS website - jet reference???
I've also got a parameter that I'm trying to feed it, that is the path to the database, which is correct! c:helpcontent.mdb
Here's the query
INSERT INTO CONTENT_CLASSES IN '"+ @DBDir +"' ( PARENT_ID, CLASS_NAME, STATUS_ID, KEYWORDS, PRIORITY, LAST_CHANGED_BY, LAST_CHANGED_DATE, MULTIPLE_CONTENT )
SELECT A.PARENT_ID, A.CLASS_NAME, A.STATUS_ID, A.KEYWORDS, A.PRIORITY, A.LAST_CHANGED_BY, A.LAST_CHANGED_DATE, A.MULTIPLE_CONTENT
FROM CONTENT_CLASSES AS A;

I was wondering is there a way to open up another database from within a database? Not to combine but just to open another one up instead of looking for it on a drive....

Using access 2010. Trying to set up an import table from an external database.
Code:
DoCmd.TransferDatabase acImport, "Microsoft Access", "Y:DevTestFolder2013 01 Some Data Name", acTable, "tblName", "tblName"
I get an error 3024 could not find the file Y"DevTestFolder2013....
The database I am importing from is a 2003 .mdb
I tried the brackets because the file has spaces in it but still get the same error.

I've made an access project (ade) and stored the admin with password in the ade file.
When I open a new database I can use the import feature to import all tables with definitions and data from the ade file. All other objects are being locked.
How can i disallow tables from my mde to be imported into another access application?

I am getting this error message:
"Unexpected Error from External Database Driver" when I try to import some .dbf files into Access. I just did some quick research, and it was suggested that I remove or rename the borland driver. Not sure how I feel about attempting that, plus, where do I get a new borland driver once the old is removed/renamed.

I have a database that I used as a back-end for an Excel spreadsheet. Now that the database has been moved from one place on the network to another, I need to update the information in my spreadsheet to reflect the database's new name and location. Is there any way of doing this short of deleting and recreating the queries in Excel?

I've got an Access 2010 application that currently links to a SQL Server 2000 database. I need to change the link to a SQL Server 2008 database on a different server. Where do I go to change the link? When I click on External Data, ODBC Database, I only get an option to import source data. I don't want to import any data. I just want the application to link to a different external database. If I go ahead and click OK, I choose my ODBC connection and log in to the 2008 database. Now I've got a list of "import objects" to choose from. I choose one table (just for testing; I actually want to link with all tables), it says it imported successfully, but when I view the data in that table from Access, it's the same old 2000 database data.

code that will allow me to take data [All Fields] from a Table in my Database and Insert them into another identically structured Table in another MS Access accdb Database.I would also like to filter for records older than a month [MyDateField]
I have tried the following code I found on line. It doesn't throw an error . . . but it doesn't perform the Insert either.
Code:
Dim ws As DAO.Workspace 'Current workspace (for transaction).
Dim db As DAO.Database 'Inside the transaction.
Dim bInTrans As Boolean 'Flag that transaction is active.
Dim strSql As String 'Action query statements.
Dim strMsg As String 'MsgBox message.
[code]....

We have an older system that generates txt reports. I take these txt reports, then using Excel, I append the report headers to each record... creating a datatable. I then import this table to Access. I have not been able to figure out how to have Access perform this. In Excel, I use an "if" statement.

I was wondering if it was possible to link random external tables to the Active Database through VBA. I would like to run the code that would open up a dialog box that would let the user select the database as well as the tables within that database that the user can select to link to. I am able to select the database and but not able to select the actual tables. The tables will be random so I can't make a constant statement for a specific database.

Basically it's trying to take all the files in a given directory and add them into a existing database.
I have a database called Permit. the database has a field called "SEAL" and they will be creating an additional field "SCART" to hold the contents of the file that exist in the directory. Each image file, in directory, is named the same as a unique record in Permit.
example:
Permit-SC might have unique record 532442
An image file would be name 532442.
If the image file matches a record in Permit the image should be added to permit in a field called "SCART". At this point I'm not certain if I want a link or the actual image included in the record. since there's a possibility of including the permit file on the website it might be cleaner to have it included.

I have created a link to a CRM system that we have, and am using access as an interface for a specific task with the data contained within this CRM.
I have written a query that pulls to fields of data together but cannot get the two to calculate.
Within SQL server management studio I use the following query to give me a numerical response.
SELECTPRCPRICE,SUM(CAST(VL2BENEFICIALASNUMERIC (20,6))*CAST(PRCPRICEAS MONEY)))ASHOLDINGVALUE
Access doesn't appear to accept the cast functionality / how I can perform a similar functionality with access?

My question is:
How to make this happen by allowing me to search for Database Y (like if i want to save a Word file, a window will open searching for the folder i want to save the Word file in).

Hello,
I think i've done this before but I can't seem to remember the process so any help would be great. What im trying to accomplish here is I have a database that will be updated(new data appened) to on a daily basis from many other databases, but the data that is to be appened can come from various destination drives ie (C: drive, D:drive, CD, Thumbdrive, etc). I set up a dialog box that prompts the user to select the source database, but im not sure how I can store that source destination string and update my append query with that source database string. I believe there is a way to do this. Am I making any sense? Any help would be so great. Thank you in advance.
