Hallo everybody I have an Access databse in which I have devided the tables into backend and frontend by using the Database Splitter wizard. Then if I create any tables in the frontend Access file then thease tables are visible only in the front end of this system , not from other systems if I put the back end in network. its ok for some tables , but now I have a table which I have to put in the shared backend , but if I cerate in the front end it is visible only in front end and if I create in backend it is visible only in backend. how to send a table in the front end to backend after database splitting is over, so that I can access this table from other systems. if it is possible please help me. Thank you. Kiran
I used two combo boxes in a form to enter data into a table. I want to allow user to look at the table from the Form. Can I use a Command Button to do so? Thank you for your help.
I was recently asked to document all our applications and databases. Is there a way to tell what is linked to a database? I know how to tell what the source of a linked table is. I'm looking for a way to look in reverse. example. Database1 is a storage database of all our personal data. Database2 through database100 is linked to database1
Can I go into database1 and see what's linked to it?
I am a novice when it comes to the MS Access interface. My experience has been designing the database and then using ASP pages to query, update, etc. I am now in a new position where I have to modify a switchboard to point to other data sources (i.e. databases) who have been renamed. My problem is that when I open any of those databases all I get is a form (switchboard) that has links to reports. It appears to my novice eye that the switchboard is the only thing that exists within the "main" database and it points to other databases -- when I open those databases another switchboard comes up and I still cannot view the database objects. I hope this makes sense -- believe me, I am attempting to understand this all.
I hope someone can explain to me what's going on -- there has to be a database that I can open and see actual database objects by going to the top menu bar and selecting, "View --> Database Objects --> Tables, Queries, Forms, etc.
Have an Access database that is used by multiple users, the lock file seems to have vanished. Yet the database is in a read only state and still locked. How do I unlock the database? How do I find out who is locking it? How do I kick the person off is neccesary to unlock the database? Thanks.
What is wrong with this linked pictures in my database? I have made OLE field in a table and I want to insert pictures in that field with option "linked". But pictures are not exactly linked. First, they take a lot of space in a database, almost as inserted pictures (If inserted picture takes 30Mb than linked picture takes 20Mb). I thought it is only going to save a link (target location) to a file. Also, when I insert link to a picture ina OLE field and delete this picture in windows - I can still see this picture on a form in my application. So, is it linked or inserted (only difference is that I can't edit linked picture if it's deleted in windows but I can see picture in a form). How can I insert only link to a picture in my database so I can see pictures in forms and reports and pictures stays only in windows and takes a minimum space in my database (only for a target informations)??? Thanks!
Hello. I created two databases on my personal computer at work. One is called "Main" the other is called "Link". As you might have guessed, I linked the tables from "Link" to "Main" and imported the forms that were in Link into Main. On the opening page of Main, users click either a button that takes the into Main or a button that takes them into Link. On my computer, it works perfectly. However, when I went to put the database on the network drive, i get error message 3044, invalid path. This is probably something minor, but I am new to MS access and am stuck. Thanks for any help in advance. BTW, the company is still running 97; i dont know if that changes anything.
I have searched through a number of threads trying to find a solution to this problem that I am having without luck, so I figured I would post a new thread.
I have an application in access that pulls data from a SQL database. Users can already delete a record out of the database.
The problem comes when I try to give them the ability to update the information in a record.
First, I went to the tables listing and double clicked on the link table that contains my information.
Once that window opens up, I have tried to change a piece of data on this table, but it give me a 'Write Conflict' dialog box stating 'this record has been changed by another user since you started editing it. If you save this record, you will overwrite the changes the other user made.'
This is the same error if a user changes any information on the form and then tries to move to the next record.
What is set up incorrectly that is causing this problem?
I am slowly but surely learning more everyday about Access. I inherited a database system from a gentleman who set up a lot of great stuff but did not document anything! I am working with a linked database in Access. I am trying to add information to a look up wizard. I am unable to de-select the "Enforce Referential Integrity", so I deleted the one to many relationship in hopes of being able to add the information. However, I am still not able. A message pops up stating it is a linked table and some properties can not be modified. My look up wizard Row Source can not be modified.
I am wondering if there is a quick way to find a database object (table, query, form, report) other than having to scroll through them in the database window.
E.g. I have many many queries and when I need to find one to make changes to it, it often takes me a while to find it when scrolling thru the queries in the database window.
Has anyone ever programmed anything whereby you can type in the object type and name and then it will be highlighted in the database window?
Hi well as the title says i have a database with a LOT of tables, and i need to find the tables that contain a certain heading, eg reference 6, is there an easy way of doing this?
Hi, We migrated on DB to a shared network drive. But the users cannot open the DB. It keep give an error message that microsoft access can't find the database file. Please advise.
I am using Access 2010 and the web database so having a bit of an issue. I have tried google but no luck really - seems complex and confusing.
Basically I have a table which has column 1 of the unique id and column 2 is the project name.
When you click the drop down on the form, I want it to show column 2 (the project name) and when you click this, on the form I want it to find that record.
Here's the issue: Access 2010 Database with a Switchboard SharePoint 2007
After I moved the tables to the SharePoint site everything is working correctly except the Switchboard Manager. When I try to the Switchboard manager i get error that is was unable to find a valid Switchboard in the database and asks me to create one. If I click Yes I get error that Table 'Switchboard Items already exists.
My Database has the following: 1. Switchboard Items Table 2. Switchboard form
I can access both of them and attached screenshots of the errors and tables in the database.
I have a property database linked to ArcView 3.1. It has a field that links to the ArcView Database called ID which is unique and set to a data type of double.
I have a further form that can go straight to a record if you know it's ID. This form works fine so long as the ID field is no more than 5 digits. I have a series of polygons that have six figure ID's - the link to arcview works fine using these six fig ID fields however the form that looks for that particular ID can't cope with the six figure numbers...
My problem is although I could change all the ID's of the records in the Database so that the search on ID worked (ie five figure id) they then wouldn't match with the overlay in ArcView and I would not be able to link through using code without first changing and matching all the codes associated with the polygons (time consuming)
I did try changing the datatype of the ID field to long integer but still have the same problem. Strange that the search works for five figure IDs and not six.
Does anyone know whether this is a data type error or is it some simple oversight.? I can probably work out some way of changing all the ID fields to five figures but would prefer to keep the six figures as they are used in some pre-printed material as refs
I created a database in Microsoft Access and then upsized it to SQL Server afterwards.
I now need to add a new column to a table in the database. So I added the new column in SQL Server using ALTER TABLE command. This column is a foreign key which has an associated parent key in another table which contains a description of the column. e.g. Main_Table Case_ID Foreign_Key_Field_ID 1234 78
New_Foreign_Key_Table Foreign_Key_Field_ID Foreign_Key_Field_Desc 78 Describes the ID 78
I also setup a CONSTRAINTREFERENCE between the fields in these 2 tables.
I then relinked my tables using the Linked Table Manager to pick up the change to the table I altered (Main_Table). I also linked to the new table I created (New_Foreign_Key_Table).
My problem: In Access if I create a new table I can select the lookup value for a field in the Table Design view Lookup tab. However, I altered my table in SQL Server and then linked to it again to pick up the change. Now when I view the linked table in Access it does not have any lookup value AND it's not possible to change this for a linked table.
Is there some piece of SQL I can use in SQL Server to change the lookup value for the field in my table OR have I approached this the wrong way. Should I have modified the local table in Access and upsized it again?
Otherwise if I select all values from my Main_Table in a form it displays the Foreign_Key_Field_ID instead of the Foreign_Key_Field_Desc because the lookup value has not been set to Foreign_Key_Field_Desc
This posting is a bit long - I hope it makes sense.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Wondering if anybody has any information about this.
Backgound information: My access database information comes from a 'card' where somebody has manually put crosses in a number of boxes. This information is currently being manually inputted into the database...
I know you can get scanners to pick up information from a document...but is this possible with microsoft access?
I have a database that links to an excel sheet and take data from it. For a fail safe i put deletes in several places in case of user error to make sure the sheet is deleted. If it is already deleted the other deletes don't act well.
I need to write a conditional iff statement that if it doesn't exist it ignores the delete call. Not sure how to structure it.
Private Sub Command3_Click() DoCmd.DeleteObject acTable, "Sheet1" DoCmd.Close acForm, "District Select Form" End Sub
Is there a way to use the find command in access in one report to search throughout the whole database. For instance, I am designing a database that in a report it shows the number identifier of an item, and the actual detailed information is located in a separate form. What I want it to do is to be able to find the detailed information from a command within the report that only has the number identifier.
Now he can get into the SFTP folder, but when he uses the shortcut, he gets an error stating Microsoft Access couldn't find the file ServerName.ACCT05.us.companyabbreviation.comSha reNameSFTPSFTPWorkgroup.mdw 1" "C:SFTP Database V2.1 FESFTP Database V2.1 FE.mdb" (Note the space and 1)
I created a new shortcut, and I was able to open the db using his target line, even though I can use the shorter one. For the new user, this still generates an error.
I have an Access 2000 database with some linked tables. When upsizing the database I selected 'Save password and user ID with attached tables'. Therefore in the Linked Table manager after each table in brackets I have the name of the database to which the tables are linked.
I am now wondering if I want to link the tables to a different database how do I change the database name, which is in brackets after the table name.
If I select a table and select 'prompt for a new location each time' I am getting prompted to select a different DSN. At the moment I don't have a DSN and I don't want to have to set one up.
I imagine that the database name and the user id and password I entered in the upsizing wizard are stored in some configuration box but I don't know where I can access this.
Hi, My access database's tables are currently linked to an excel document. My question is, how do I move my database to the network? Currently when I move the the database to the network no one can open my tables because the link goes to my documents on my computer which they can't access on the network. So how do I move the database and maintain the link between the database and my tables?
