I'm creating a leave (holiday) database but each year must be kept seperate for analysis. (I have split the front and backend of the database) I thought of using a dropdown on the main page which could be used to select the year which relates to the leave being dealt with. Depending on the choice selected (present financial year as default) the links would update to the required database.
Any ideas?
Is there a way to just select like through a find dialog box, the location of a databases backend location and just automatically create all the links for the link tables...
The reason Im asking, is my boss wants the database to be on his laptop in the event that the network is down, and also so that he can work away from the company's location but I was showing him the implications of having it installed locally on his machine should his laptop go down....
So now I'm wondering if i could
1. do some automation that allows him to just choose the location of the databases backend that he would be working from, be it on the network or on his machine
and
2. using both backends to update or overwrite each other depending on which he was working from or did updates to..
Really would love all the help and input I can get on this... Im willing to work on developing a sample for this if nothing is exactly already out there so that it can be reposted cause i think this would be very useful to everyone's database applications.
Hi,
We've got an old database consisting of just an MDE file and its point to the UNC path of a server we need to decommission. Is there anyway I can amend the Links to an external mdb so it points to either the new server or folder?
Thanks.

Hello to all the xperts out there,
I have a query with this criteria for Date field:
Where (([tblList].Date)>=#11/1/2005# And ([tblList].Date)<#12/1/2005#))
Is there any quick way, besides creating a form and run the query based on it, to have this criteria updated itself when it's a new month? I've gotten tired of changing it every month.
Thanks in advance
hi...
im trying to create like a test in access. this is the idea. the user open the first form to enter the info like student number, name and so on. when he clicks the button he goes to another form where is the first question. in the top part is the student number wich was obtained from the First form and an option group with the answers to the question of the label box. Also a timer was included so the form close after one minute using the form_timer event. everything seem to work fine but when i go to the table to see the answers of the student, it look like if the student took the test for the number of questions, in this case forms, so if there is 20 questions(forms) it appears 20 times under the same student number, cuz all the questions are in diferent forms. then i try to take out this line from the first form when the user click the button:
DOCMD.GOTORECORD,, aclast
when i take that line out it seem to work fine only that when the user click the cmd button it goes to the first record instead of the active student record.
So then i thought of tab pages making them not visible until the user click the cmd button. it work fine with the cmd button but how do i put a timer to all the tab pages so that when time expires the next tab appear??
is that a bit hard??/
any help would be appreciated, thanx
This may seem like a silly question, but I can’t find the answer to it on this forum. People only say 'Remove the table links' but never how. I can’t seem to be able to remove the table links completely, so I only have one database file (no backend or frontend). I can’t seem to do it though the Table link manager or any other way. Any help?
Thanks in advance
i have 2 mdb and both mdb have table link
in one of the mdb , they had a link to dbf (paradox) and they have lot of queries and reports created.
Now the functionality has changed so we have created a access table and need to replace the dbf with the table.
The problem is we need to retain all the queries and reports as such but the table will be access table instead of dbf.
Example
First.mdb has test table
Second.mdb has a table called old.dbf. and associated quries
but now test table is been linked to second.mdb and we got to rename or delete old.dbf and associated all queries and reports pointing to test table
is there a way to do it automatically or should it be done manually?
Please let me know as it is urgent
I wonder if you can help. I am trying to make a combo box with peoples ID numbers in which links to a table with that persons details. I have made the combo box with the names in but now trying to link the table to it.
For example: Fred is in the combo box with ID number 1 and the user selects him and wants to see his details about him after clicking continue. The form has autonumber 1 showing Fred's details after clcking this.
Any help

I am new with Access database and I found almost everything i needed on the internet. There is only one thing I just cant figure out when this looked like one of the easier things. Im making a database where all soorts of keys of all kinds of companies and homes are stored. In this database I want to keep track of the keys that are being used, who has the keys and when the keys are taken and brought back.
Most of these things work except one thing. In the table where I have the keys I have a field wich is 'In use'. This is a yes/no field and I want it to be yes when someone takes a key and to switch back to no when someone returns it. This is possible if it is done by the employees who use the keys but i want it to go automatically so no mistakes are made.
I have one table for the keys, one for the employees that take and return the keys, I use a master with detail form for when someone takes or returns a key and this is all shown in a query.
In a field called PSSheets I want the number to be update every new entry, if I use the AutoNumber feature it won't let me enter the number I want to start with, which is 1421001, then the next number would be 1421002 and so on right up to 1421200 and then the number would change to 1422001.
14/21/001 relates to Year/Week/Entry.
I am new to Access and just inherited a very large database to work with. Is there an easy way to figure out the relationship between each table and how they are linked? Thanks.

I'm making a db that will import a spreadsheet from Excel, then separate it into 3 different tables using queries, but then I need to put all the 3 different tables together one after the other. The problem is that the 3rd column on each table have different names on each table, so I can't append the tables together.
So, how can I use a Macro or something to change the column name on all 3 different tables so that they match and can all get appended together.

I have a table being filled everyday that contains the following:
ID
EntryDate
Ward_ID (linked to the Wards table)
Census
At present, the data encoder manually chooses the ward via drop-down list to identify the ward, and fill the census field. Since we have 20 wards, we find this exercise eating our precious time (since we have tons more of data to enter aside from the census). I'm wondering if there's a way to automatically list all the wards in the table in a specific date, so that the encoder would just proceed in filling the census per ward.
One idea thrown was to design the table like an excel sheet (each ward has its own column). Another idea was to make individual tables per ward and make a default value for the ward_id. However I think these two are not the right directions.
I have an employee and asset database. If an employee gets fired, I need remove them from the general employee records, but I want to save a record of that employee. Is there a way to delete an employee from one table and have it automatically added to another table?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've got my data organized like this:

(one record per separate goal)
But I really need to be able to change the structure of the table/query so that there is one record per date, like this:
[date 1] [goal 1] [percentage for goal 1] [goal 2] [percentage for goal 2] [goal 3] [percentage for goal 3]
Is there any way to run a query or some other function that will reorganize the data in this way? or would I have to redesign the whole database?

I am still creating my first ever Access Database for our small business.
I would like to be able to use a table or form to update more than one table.
For example, by entering the name of a company in a form/table, it is automatically added into a table of companies (ie another table).
How do I do this?
Anyone, anyone??
Frustrated.
