Hello Friends
I have 100 tables and now I changed the name of tables due to some reasons. Now I must to replace the names in other database objects.Is there any option that can reduce the work load because otherwise it is a tiring job to replace it manually.
Okay, this one should be simple and can be solved in one of two ways. I have two seperate tables with a 12 digit identifying number that is ALMOST exactly the same in each. I am trying to match up these two tables, which works amazingly well, except for the occasional case where the 12 digit ID (which is called API) ends in 01, instead of 00. The last two digits do not make a difference at all, but in one table it will end in 00 and the other it will end in 01, even though they are the same record.
Basically, it looks like this...
Table 1---------------Table 2
541236554700-----541236554700
541236123700-----541236123700
443231246700-----443231246701
So basically, in my final query, the last entry will not show up since these two are not related by this API (ID) number. Any way to either replace the 01 on the end with 00... OR to remove the last two digits?
I have linked tables in my db at the moment that rely on user dsn connections to an SQL server. I've been reading about DSNLess connections and want to try convert what i have to have permanent DSNless connections, but the code I've found doesn't appear to be working.
I've removed server specific details where i felt necessary, but when running the code i have it in place.
Code:
Public Sub RefreshODBCLinks()
Dim connString As String
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim tb As DAO.TableDef
connString = "DRIVER=SQL Server;SERVER=<database ip address>;DATABASE=<
[Code] .....
Hello All,
I currently have a bunch of tables that I have linked to a SQL database. For development purposes (easy of use), I'd like to turn all those tables into regular tables rather than linked so if I take the db offsite, all the data is with me. I realize there will be no updates, etc. but that really doesn't matter for my needs in this case.
Is there a script or an easy way to do this? (besides doing a manual import for a LOT of tables)
I've tried searching but I might not be searching for the correct terminology.
Thanks in advance!

I have written a large number of queries to gather data for a quarterly monitoring form. How do I replace the dates to update them for next quarter.For example I have written a query which counts the number of new members who started in the period 01/04/2013 to 31/07/2013. How can I change this (and the other 200 queries) without opening them all individually and manually altering it. Is there an Access equivalent of Word's Find and Replace?By the way I am using Access 2000.

I have a problem with changing a datatype into a number. The thing is that all the fields are in text and i want to change some of them to a number datatype. If i try to change the field to a number i get a message that come up as This:The setting for the field size property of on or more fields has been changed to a shorter size. If data lost, validation rules may be violated as a result. I try to export it into an excel file and change all the field that i need to be a number and convert them into a number and it work by when i import them back into access they don't change.
View 6 Replies View RelatedMy database is now live within our office and is working fine.
The databases which I have imported the data from, where done by my dad, who being old fashioned, used CAPS for everything he typed. So for quite alot of the data, its all caps, and it would be great, but not essential if we could revert the text to normal sentences.
Is there any trick or code that I could run that would go through certain tables and reformat the text in to a better format??
Hi Guys,
This is one of this only times i've had a problem whose answer i couldn't find on this or other forums, so here's the question.
My DBase links to the back end tables
tblBrkdn
tblBrkdnArchive
tblBrkdwnTradespeople
tblBrkdwnTradespeopleArchive
The following two tables are local, not linked
tblBrkdnArchiveTemp
tblBrkdwnTradespeopleArchiveTemp
After running through the following code, all of the four above mentioned linked tables are now local. It's vexing. I'm terribly vexed. If you can help, my status would chnge from vexed to joyous....:

I am connecting to a table in our accounting software using MS Access ODBC Connection. I would like to change the value in a table for every record in the table 7,000+. In the latest version of the software a new field was added to the Vendor Table that by default is unchecked. I would like to have this field checked for each vendor. Is there a way that I can change all the records at once instead of going row by row to make the changes?

Currently I have a calculated field in my table; however, under certain circumstances I need to change the value to another value which is not related to the calculation. I understand that the calculated fields are read only (why is that?), so I was wondering if there was any way to change values within a calculated column without actually changing the expression itself.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a query, and in order for it to run properly, I've set it to look in an unbound combobox on a form to display the necessary data I want, as long as I never close down the form, this is exactly how I want it.However, if I close this form down, and reopen it, I'm asked by messagebox to get the lookup from a different form's combobox, despite saving the correct form's design over and over again, and saving the actual query, more than once, while in design view.when Access changes the criteria, there isn't even a combobox value on the form it changes to.

I need help with an update query that will change records for me based on the date
In the record I have a TEXT record called [GI1] that can have a multitude of data in it.
The data can be “EVA”, “CON 10/12/06”, “REQ 10/12/06”, “PAS 10/12/06”, or “B 10/12/06”, and finally “A 10/12/06”
What I need is a query will look at the Data that starts with “B” and change the letter to “A” if the date in the record has passed. {The Date can be any date in any year }
Many Thanks for Looking

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?
View 2 Replies View RelatedBit of a strange question / problem. I am using a Dlookup between two queries. Everything runs fine is I leave the join as option 1: only include rows where the joined fields in both tables are equal. But if I change it to number 3 Include ALL records in right table in left it returns a syntax error on the query.
I can run the same query with same relationships of another table and it is fine!
I was trying to see if there is a way to convert text to a hyperlink in a query.
Background : I'm pulling information from a lotus notes database using an OBDC connection and storing it into an access database and using that to upload to a sharepoint site. While we are converting over to a sharepoint site, I was trying to make it easy to get back to the original site for each document to check the work.
One of my columns in the query looks like this:
Code:
Notes Link: "notes://pncpgha66/852570CE0056FEF3/0BFCC83A5C11D7C3852576CD0072ED3E/" & [NoteUNID]
I don't see a way to convert that whole part to a hyperlink though. Like I could with a date and text. Cdate().
I have a crosstab query that reports KPI numbers for the last 5 weeks, using the week no as the column header. Then I am generating a report from this query. It works 100%
However, when I go to the next week, the report fails as the first week from the previous query no longer exists
So, this is happening...
The first report generated columns called 39,40,41,42,43 because the crosstab query uses week number as the header.
The second report (1 week later) cant find column 39 so it crashes!
Can't see how to change the column header to a generic as it is created by the crosstab.....
i have an update query that looks for a product number, updates the cost, and re-calculates the price in two columns based on the salesman's margins. the problem i am having is that it seems to be hit and miss on the first run. if you run it again, it runs the calculations on all the fields. (it has to check / recalculate 16,000 rows.) should this query have vba to make it loop thru the table.
here is the basic layout of the query:
table 1 is newproductq
table 2 is Products
Field: PriceIn
Table: newproductq
Update To: [Products].[Cost]
UNITS
newproductq
[PriceIn]/((100-[Margin])/100)
PIECES
newproductq
[PriceIn]/((100-[BrokenMargin]/100)
