I have a linked table and want to change it's data source to another table entirely -- ie: different file name.
Can this be done with linked tables, or can you just link to another file with the same name but in another directory? If linked tables have this limitation, how would you accomplish what I'm trying to do. I want to keep the same name for the linked table.
Ultimately, I want to populate a listbox with the different files in a directory and change tblSource to point at the chosen data source.
I have created a multi-valued field "Product Category" that lookups data items from a linked table. So, the Data Type for the multi-valued field "Product Category" is Number.
Now I want to change the Data Type of "Product Category" from Number to Text, and make a value list that I can type values in and can provide the same data items as the linked table.
How to change item source for the multi-valued field from a linked table to a list that I can type in values? Is there a feature provided by MS Access 2007 can enable such a conversion?

Suppose I have a front end and backend (tables) database which I want to deploye. Currently Access tries to find the backend in the same absolute location (rather than relative position). This causes a problem as drive letters change and sometimes I would want it in a specific location on my computer and another place on deployed computer. Is there anyway to change source of linked tables after compiling to ACCDE
This question will surely show my amateur Access skills... I have to add a field to a linked table. However, the table doesn't save my changes. Is there something I need to do before I make my change?
I get the error message "Table 'name' is a linked table with some properties that can't be modified. Do you want to open it anyway?
I would like to use code to change the connection string for linked tables in my front end database. I have tried using the connection property of the TableDefs collection, this seems to work while I step through the code but does not change the existing connection property. Any suggestions?
Currently we have a web based order taking/inventory system. Every night they export a .db to an FTP server and every morning I download it (I automated this part, it replaces the older file). I link to this database (using SQLlite3 to ODBC driver) from an Access database for specifically this purpose.
When I originally created it I had to go through every table and create a unique identifier. Unfortunately I chose poorly in some cases. I can't figure out how to get those primary keys changed to the correct ones. I've tried recreating the ODBC connection, tried a new database and new ODBC connection, tried killing the connection waiting a day (for the new .db to download) and recreating the connection and trying it in a new database.I know access doesn't allow you the change the primary key in a linked table.
I have a linked excel table in my database but sometimes because the network is down I am getting "not responding" message from Access if I accidentlaly try to open the linked table while off-line. That does not seem to timeout at all. I am wondering where I can actually set the timeout so Access will not hang trying to get to the linked source?
If the data source changes for an Access database, do I need to recreate all the tables, queries, and reports? I am having quite a time with this issue. Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
hi there first to start of im dutch so chances are you wont understand everything of what im saying;).
For an assignment for school i have too make an acces database. im doing pretty fine except a couple of things. the assignment is too make an database for a hotel. i made 3 tables 1 for customer data 1 for the booking 1 for the appartment data. now im making a booking form. but i ran in to this problem: the customer data table has customer number as main key. if i make a form all the coloms customername, customer adress, customer streetname, ect get their data from looking up what the customer number is and then getting it from the right colum. but on the booking form i need to have the data for the companions who are staying at the hotel with the customer too. the companion has the same coloms as the customer the companions are staying at the hotel too they too are registert in the customer table. but if i try to copy the customer coloms like customername, customer adress , i dont know how too make it that they look up the companion number and not the customer number.
thanks in advance for the reply's, if anything is unclear please say so kasper
I have OLE Object connected to a source Document. Each time I change the source document to a new one by using the sourcedoc property and action property. What I need is how to programatically print this document.
I have a form that is linked to a query by its Record Source.In one of the Text boxes I want to appear the number of rows in the query where Days = 4 so I thought I would try to use DCOUNT as the Control Source for the Text Box. However every expression I try for DCOUNT throws back error? or name?. How to sort my code?
=DCount("[EPISODEUNIQUEKEY]","1-12 Show Records by Date Range","[Days] = '4'")
I have a main form that has 10 sub forms Each sub form’s record source is link to a different Query.
It takes more then a minute to open the form, (because it’s running the query for all sub forms). So I changed the sub forms source to SELECT * FROM tblTest WHERE false;
I also changed the main form. When the button on the main form is clicked, it’s adding the following:
Me.SubMySub.Form.RecordSource = "select * from qMyQuery" Me. SubMySub.Form.Requery
However, after I close the main form, the sub form’s record source stays linked to SELECT * FROM qMyQuery;
And will take the same long time again to open the main form.
I have a report with subreports contained in it. Each subreport gets it's data from a different table.
I noticed subreport 1,2,3,4 are pulling the data from their corresponding tables. However, subreport 5,6, and 7 are pulling their data from the table relating to subreport 1.
I've checked the subreports themselves. They are referencing their own tables if I open them individually but not when opening the main report.
The report names all seem to be correct.
I've never seen anything like this before. Does anyone have some ideas??
OK. I have a report that I want to use as a master and use with about 4 different querys. In the report properties I've bound it to a query. I've tried for ages to change the record sources with on click command bottons on another form. I think things have become complicated because there's a subreport on the report I AND a there's bunch of code to make things invisible in the on page event of the report.
I have an Access 2013 database that includes among its tables 4 externally linked ODBC tables in a SQLServer DB. They are linked tables, not imported. There are also relationships between these tables for some of the queries and reports in the Access DB. I need to make a copy of the database and change the source of the ODBC links to a different SQLServer DB. I have not been able to figure out how to do that without rebuilding the links with a new source definition created from scratch.
I am trying to build a Form that will show an estimate (then eventually will be moved to a project if customer and employee aggree to price and project) in a Form F_Estimates is a M_Customers(Customer_ID) (Based on a Table) and thier info in a Subform. Also is the "projected costs" from parts out of the Parts(Part_ID) (Based on another Table) in a second Subform as a list that I need to calculate $$$ in (Dang that still sounds evil and definately NOT understandable even after edit... so)
Here's some basic info
Tables
EstimatesandParts - Table EstimatesandParts_ID : Autonumber Estimate_ID : Number Part_ID : Number
Parts - Table Part_ID : Autonumber PartNumber : Text (not a number due to some part#s have letters in them) PartName : Text Unit Price : Currency Description : Text
Estimates - Table Estimate_ID : Autonumber InvoiceNumber : Text (again can have letters in it) EstimateDate : Date/Time EstimateTime : Date/Time Employee_ID : Number Customer_ID : Number ProblemDescription : Memo
Customers - Table Customer_ID : Autonumber FirstName : Text LastName : Text CompanyName : Text Address : Text City : Text Province_State : Text Postal_ZIPCode : Text (CDN Postal codes are letter num letter...)
you can see the link table in the EstimatesandParts Table
Now I want to use that link to populate a subform in the F_Estimates form
Forms
SF_Customers - SubForm
(all boxes atm are text boxes on this form till I figure out the Parts section then will use same base for this so I can pick any customer in the database to be the customer for this estimate. Also will have ctrl button for making new customer with customer form and a refresh on Focus Gain bit of code)
FirstName LastName CompanyName Address City Province_State Postal_ZIPCode
SF_Parts - SubForm Default View -Continuous Forms
(want it to be a list of parts that I can grab prices and descriptions from then in a bit of code to calculate a cost of parts)
Part_ID : Combo Box Control Source - Part_ID Row Source Type - Table/Query Row Source - SELECT Parts.Part_ID, Parts.PartNumber, Parts.PartName, Parts.UnitPrice, Parts.Description FROM Parts ORDER BY Parts.Description;
(Pulls info from the table Parts for input into a list of parts to be used on that project)
PartName : Text Box UnitPrice : Text Box
(here's where I run into problems due to the fact that the form is not based on the parts table but rather the link table EstimatesandParts so I can't propogate the info to the 2 other text boxes, ps I dont care if they cant be text boxes and have to be linked or some other type I'm not "set" just need to find out how to make it work )
(have tried a couple things to complete this task)
(works AWSOME ... for ONE ROW then propogates the second selection to the first and second and third selection to first second and third and so on ...)
(tried to make control source for the txtPartName to)
=Forms!Parts!Partname
(Doesnt exist .. akkk, cant use ActiveForm either as it doesn't focus on the SubForm but the MainForm ... cry)
(Combo Boxes Select Customer and Employee from list of present ones of each)
SF_Customers SF_Parts
(Both SubForms on the main form)
Now this is an Exerp from my entire Database I like to work on one small problem at a time and I have made this its own little database till I figure out the problem then I will bring the info I learn back into the rest of the database and go from there ...
Hope you can help I have a feeling I will need to make a recordset and go from there but I'm just not able to wrap my head around that for some reason
Thanks in advance for ANY and ALL help that I get from here
I have a Form with a combobox and 3 checkboxes now i want to change the Rowsource of the Combobox by clicking on the checkboxes. When i click the Checkbox the Rowsource gets Changed as i want it but i can not use the new Values cause its giving me the error "The value you entered is not valid for this field"
The Funny thing is its always bound to the type of data i choose first. When i first select the Week i can select only Weeks (17,18,19 etc) When i choose Day first it only accepts Dates (01.01.2014 etc)There is no Control Source set . And the Bound Column for all Sources is 1
Here the Code
DD_Zeitraum is the Combobox CB_Day CB_Week CB_Month are the Checkboxes
Code: Private Sub CB_Day_Click() If Me.CB_Day.Value = -1 Then Me.CB_Month = 0 Me.CB_Week = 0 Me.DD_Zeitraum = "" Me.DD_Zeitraum.RowSource = "" Me.DD_Zeitraum.RowSource = Dist_Datum Else Me.CB_Day.Value = -1 End If End Sub
I have a navigation form that has a tabbed form on one of its tabs. The tabbed form has a 'current client' query record source and allows one to choose from a list of current clients and when a client is selected - details relating to client are displayed on various tabs on tabbed form.
I want to duplicate tabbed form and change record source to a query selecting 'exited clients' so I can see same information but for exited clients.
I have created a new tab on navigation form for my new exited clients tabbed form and changed record source by creating a new exited client query but when I change record source on exited client tabbed form it automatically changes record source of current client tabbed form to the exited client query and visa versa.
I have a tabbed form in a navigation form with a chart on it. The records source of the chart is a query. The query runs when you click the tab and takes a long time. I changed the Row Source of chart to "" and that eliminates the query running on form load. I've read many posts on changing that row source when a command button is clicked. I tried
in the onclick event of the command button. This doesn't work. I've tried many variations of the syntax. I don't know if I have to tell the query to run after the row source is changed.
On a side note, the query criteria is based on beginning and end dates entered into text boxes on the form. This all works if the query loads when the form is opened.
The following code works to change the column header name for a listbox in form view when the data source is a local table, but not when the data comes from a sharepoint list.
Code: sqlstatement = "SELECT ID, PONum as [PO Number], ActDate as [Date], VendorName as [Vendor Name], Service, BuildingNumber as [Building Number], ReservationDescription as [Description], POAmount as [Amount], QuoteType as [Type of Quote], Comments" & _ " FROM ActivityLog" & _ " WHERE (Activity = 'AcceptReservation') AND (PSCName = '" & Me.PSCCombo4.Column(0) & "')" & _ " ORDER BY ActDate;" 'MsgBox sqlstatement Me.EditPOListBox.RowSource = sqlstatement sqlstatement = ""
Also it appears that there is no such thing as a caption property for a sharepoint list column.
