Changing Field Names

Dec 14, 2005

I am using ASP to try to edit the column (field) names of my Access database. Here is an example of would I would like to work:

Code:data_source = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=" & _ Server.MapPath("databases/logins.mdb")Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")rs.CursorType = 2rs.LockType = 3 rs.Open "SELECT * FROM Users;" , data_sourcers(1).name="blah"

The last line is the problem. A field name in an ADO recordset is limited to read-only persmissions for opened (already exisiting) recordsets.
link:http://www.w3schools.com/ado/prop_name.asp

Is there another way around this without using an SQL "ALTER" statement. In other words, by accessing the field's name through a number like rs(i).name instead of rs("fieldname").name?

Thanks.

Changing Field Names Automatically

Oct 15, 2005

I have an Application that I want to re-use for a second user. The only change I need to make is to re-name the fields.

Is there a tool that can do this across the tables, queries and reports for each field name change ???

Changing Variable Names

May 24, 2005

I have an Access database that I need to import in to a SIR database that only takes fields names of a maximum of 8 characters long.

I want to create a new database with the same field names, only abreviated, and then import the data from my original database into the Access database with the new names.

Is this possible and could someone give me explicit info on how to do it?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Changing All Table Names

Feb 9, 2006

Hi, I have an Access database that I would like to do a mass Table Name change. Reason is, all tables start with Data.<table name> so one table is called Data.Names and I would like it to be called just Names. I can manually do this but there are over 600 tables. Would take some time.

Please let me know if there is a script or how I can approach this. Maybe I could loop through each table name where it finds "Data." and strip that part out.

Thanks

Changing Names To ID Numbers

Aug 28, 2012

I recieve Excel worksheets with information and then import this information into a table I have in access. I verify the data and as a last step I append the data to a table called AllReportData2012 which is used to pull information for my reports. Part of the Excel information that is imported to a new table includes the employee's name with work details in each row.

In my access report I do not use the employees name, I use their employee ID number. I have a table in my acess database that contains 2 columns. The employees Name and their associated Employee ID number.After I import the Excel information to Access how do I set up a macro or programming that will look at the name in each row and change it to the correct Employee ID. I could have anywhere from 20 rows of recods to 600 rows of records.

Reports And Changing Names

Sep 21, 2011

I am using Access 2010. I used a template called calltracker from Microsoft. I have adapted it to my use. Instead of tracking calls it is tracking follow ups. On one form there is a drop down list of reports that came with the template. I have modified the reports structure to fit my needs but in the drop down list they still show the names that came with the template. How can I change the names of the reports that show in the drop down list. How can I add additional reports I created to show in this drop down list

Mess Changing Of Object Names

Feb 6, 2007

Hey guys!

I've a database which have some confusing names for its reports and forms. So as I found myself very confused when applying group policy to all the objects I was wondering if there is a way to rename those objects in a way that ALL the references in the hole database for the renamed objects will change too.

E.g.

Form_old_name -> form_new_name

then all the references will change both in the VBA code and in subforms references

I tried doing that mannualy and then using the search & replace tool to update the rewferences in the vba code. Turns out that all the database become a mess and now I have constant "out of memmory" messages

Thank you!

Changing The Variable Names, Programmatically

Apr 26, 2005

I need to know how to change the Access variable names programmatically.

I have a large Access database, with hundreds of variables that need to be shortened to 8 characters since they are to be imported into a SIR database, which does not allow variable names longer than 8 characters.

Because the variables have to be unique and yet still identifiable, I have to write code that will do abreviations. For instance:

Neglect Aphasia Conversion Baseline
Neglect Aphasia Conversion Drug
Neglect Aphasia Conversion Fluency
Neglect Aphasia Conversion Composite

will become:

N A CV BA
N A CV DR
N A CV FL
N A CV COM

Would something like this be done in a macro?

And once the variable names are abreviated, how would they be put back in the database table?

Changing Database Names In External Queries

Nov 19, 2004

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?

Forms :: Report Names Changing Randomly

Jul 15, 2014

In my database, my "switchboard" consists of two listboxes: "Available Forms" and "Available Reports". The Available Forms listbox lists all the forms that can be accessed, and Available Forms listbox lists all the reports that can be accessed. I did this so that I wouldn't have to create buttons for each new form or report. They all are automatically listed in the listbox for the user to double-click on to open.

Since all my form and report names are not user-friendly (ie: fmComplicatedAndUglyName, rpComplicatedAndUglyReport) I want a way for the db admin to easily assign captions for each form that the average database user would find intuitive and easy to understand (ie: "Car Maintenance" instead of fmCarMaintenance). To do this, I built a table called tbDBObjectsCaptions consisting of these fields:

dbObject_ID (PK - Long Integer)
Caption (Text)

Next, I have an unbound form (fmDBObjectsCaptions) consisting of two subforms:

1) sbfDBObjectsCaptions_Forms, which lists all Forms with captions
2) sbfDBObjectsCaptions_Reports, which lists all Reports with captions.

Each subform's record source is tbDBObjectsCaptions with an Inner Join between the table and the MSysObjects table so that I can show only forms (Type field in MSysObjects = -32768) or only reports (Type field in MSysObjects = -32764). So, the record source looks like:

Code:
SELECT tbDBObjectsCaptions.dbObject_ID, tbDBObjectsCaptions.Caption
FROM tbDBObjectsCaptions INNER JOIN MSysObjects ON tbDBObjectsCaptions.dbObject_ID = MSysObjects.Id
WHERE (((MSysObjects.Type)=-32768));

(Except the Report's subform record source Where statement would have "-32764" instead of "-32768".)Each subform also consists of a "Caption" textbox and a combobox that lists all the forms or reports in MSysObjects. The Row Source for those comboboxes are:

Code:
SELECT MSysObjects.Id, MSysObjects.Name
FROM MSysObjects
WHERE (((MSysObjects.Name) Not Like "*sbf*") AND ((MSysObjects.Type)=-32768));

(Except the Report's combobox row source Where statement would have "-32764" instead of "-32768".)My first day playing with fmDBObjectsCaptions went fine. Both subforms' comboboxes list either Reports or Forms and would easily let me choose a form or report. The subforms would record the same "Id" from the MSysObjects table into the tbDBObjectsCaptions table and each Caption I typed in was recorded into the tbDBObjectsCaptions table for each "Id" I chose. It worked just fine.

However, the next day, I noticed that the captions I assigned for forms/reports were now assigned to different forms and reports! In fact, the fmDBObjectsCaptions no longer shows any captioned reports as their Types have somehow changed from -32764 to -32768 and are therefore now displayed in the Forms subform.

Either the dbObject_ID is somehow mysteriously changing for each record in the tbDBObjectsCaptions table or the Id is somehow mysteriously changing for each record in the MSysObjects table. I don't know how or why but that's what's happening. So now, in the fmDBObjectsCaptions form, my Forms subform is displaying the wrong captions for the forms, and is also displaying records that were originally Reports (items that have captions but blank comboboxes were originally entered in the Reports subform).

I attached a copy of the database. Any different solution that allows for easy Admin'ing of displayed form/report names?

Tables :: Changing Linked Table Names

Mar 3, 2015

I need to update the names of my ODBC linked tables in my Access database, how can I do this without causing issues with my queries/reports?The current linked tables are to a SQL View on a database called mcsrm_live, and called e.g. vwDamagesReportNew

The new SQL views that I need to link to are identical in structure and content and on the same SQL server but different database - forkdw and are called e.g vw_R_Damages

Is there a straightforward process to do this without affecting the queries and reports in my Access db?

Modules & VBA :: Report Names - Changing Settings For Array

Nov 6, 2014

I have the following script which I use to modify all report settings, with an array so that I can easily list reports that I want to change the settings for, there could be 50+ reports.

I can use a string but I have to put str1 as string, str2 as string etc... whereas an array would be easier (if I knew how to do it).

Code:
Public Sub ModifyAllReportsProperties()
Dim obj As AccessObject, dbs As Object
Set dbs = Application.CurrentProject
Dim ReportName As String

Field Names Don't Match Names On Form

Nov 7, 2006

I have a form with several data fields on it. I also have a button on the form that allows the user to duplicate a record . The reason for this duplication is so that if there will be an additional client record for the same customer, but only one piece of data will need to be changed, it's easier to copy the record and then change the one field.

However, I am getting the following message:

"some of the field names you tried to paste don't match fieldnames on the form"

and then not all data in all fields gets duplicated.

I need to figure this out, but am going nuts with it. If anyone has an idea or two they'd care to toss my way, I would be happy.

Thanks one more time, in advance!!

Queries :: Using Field List Combo Box To Set Field Names In Query

Apr 24, 2013

I’m developing a claim tracking database that tracks dates of events that occur in the course of processing a claim; such as, Loss Date, Report Date, Estimate Date, Payment Date, etc. There are 16 different “Events” in all.I currently have the following tables set up:

tblClaim
ClaimID
ClaimNumber
fkEmpID

tblEmployee
EmpID
EmpName

[code]....

What I need to do is create a form where management can choose two or more events, and calculate the average number of days between two of any of the events, for an employee, or all employees.I have created a crosstab query to change the values in the EventName field in tblEvents to field names, and the EventDate as values for the related EventNames. I created another query based on this query to do the DateDiff.

I created combo boxes on my form with the Row Source Type set to Field List, for a list of fields in my crosstab query. I’ve tried to use the following DateDiff function to get the days between the two fields selected in my combo boxes:

Code:
DateDiff("d",[Forms]![frmReportBuilder]![cboEvent1],[Forms]![frmReportBuilder]![cboEvent2])

But I get an error about unrecognized field name or expression for my combo boxes. So I added my combo boxes in the query parameter window, with a data type as both text and value, but with both I get an error “This expression is typed incorrectly or is too complex to be evaluated.” I also specified the column headings in the crosstab but I still am getting the “too complex” error.I’m pretty sure it’s trying to do a Datediff on the literal values in the comboboxes and not recognizing that I’m trying to specify field names.Is it possible to assign field names in DateDiff this way?

Field Names

If 2 tables have a field named 'EmployeeID' (for example), are you screwed when it comes to queries and vba, as far as selecting fields / specifying data goes?

Field Names

Jul 27, 2006

I need an opinion. I'm new to access so I'm really lost I have to create a database consisting of 20 clients. Then they gave me 4 steps I had to accomplish:

Create a total of all account balances, so the total number of recievables are known.

For each account, calculate the number of days each balance has been outstanding.

Classify the account into 4 groups three late (30,60,90 days overdue) and one current (under 30 days), Total the amount of outstanding recievables for each catagory.

Sort using number of days balance is outstanding as primary sort key and outstanding balance as the second sort key.

My question is should I make a field called Days overdue and a separate one for outstanding balance. It also seems they want me to do calculations in the table. I thought that was not an excepted taboo? Are the 4 goals possible to accomplish in access? Please give me some help!

Export Field Names Etc.

Apr 25, 2005

Hi,

I have succeeded (with some help from this site!) in creating a clinical database for the Diabetes Care team in our hospital. Now, our IT helpdesk staff want me to list the field names and data types. The design view of the tables seems to contain everything they need, but I have tried everything and cannot find a way to paste this info. out into any other format, Word, Excel etc. Has anyone ever managed this or is there something else I should do?

Prefix's For Field Names

Jul 15, 2005

I have been looking at the way I name fields and thought I'd Google the topic. Seems to be a split as to prefix names or not. Looks like the SQL Sever and Oracle groups say not to while Access users are kind of directed to use them...

While I have not prefixed names in the past, I was going to do my next db with the things like:

intMyFldName
strMyFldName
etc...

Where as in the past I would do something like:

my_fld_name_one
my_fld_name_two
etc...

What do you all see as some of the pro's and con's?

Field Names In List Box

Jun 16, 2006

I would like to have a listbox that contains all of the fields names from a table. Since the user will be selecting items from this list box, the field names should be referred to by their captions as defined in the table.

The listbox values will change depending on the value selected from another listbox.

Question: using code, how can I fill a list box with field names and display the field caption?

Thanks!

Access Field Names

Nov 2, 2004

I'm getting the following error :

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Driverserror '80040e14'
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'Description One LIKE '%flip%''.
/sbs/search_prods.asp, line 22

I know that it's becuase the field name is Access is "Description One" as opposed to "DescriptionOne" or "Description_One".

The problem is that I can't alter the actual DB table (it is part of another system that I'm attempting to integrate the site with). Is there anyway to write a query statement that will allow for field names to have spaces in them?

Thanks!

Rename Field Names Using VBA

Mar 14, 2006

Hello, I'm currently working on automating the import of a csv file (which works fine using the Transfertext method) but the csv file does not contain field names.

I want to rename the fields with something meaningful after importing the file, but I can't seem to figure out how to do this using the tabeldef method of handling tables. There's nothing in the help, not that I could find anyway.

Does anyone know whether this can be done and how, cheers.

Linked Field Names/Columns

Aug 16, 2007

Hello,

I am trying to make a new form with the same info as another but in a different view for easily updatable forms/reports. The current table i have looks like this:

Company Product Market Available?
1................1................2..........yes
1................5................2...........yes
2................1................1...........yes
2................2................6............yes

etc... with the numbers linked to tables with the actual name.

what i want to do is make a table with field names that correspond the different products so that it looks like this:

Company Market Product 1 Product 2 Product 3
1.............2............yes..........yes....... ......no
2.............1.............yes.........no........ ........yes
1.............4..............no.........no........ ........yes

Ive played around with crosstab queries but I'm not getting the results i want. Is there any way to have this new table linked to my first table so that if theres a new product # entered it will automatically make a new column on the new table and fill it in? Let me know if this is too confusing, Thanks for your help.
