Hello,
I have a query that I want to run for multiple tables of the same structure. Instead of creating a query for each table, is there any way that I can write some code or SQL statement that will change the table that the query is using? Thanks!

Dear Access Expert
I wanted to know if it is possible to change the name of the Table which is going to be created using a Make-Table Query via code (VBA).
For example if my Make-Table query currently creates a table with the name "Table1" I want to change it to name "Table2" and then change it Back to "Table1" or "Table3" etc.... depending on the users selection.
Hi,
I have two Tables TA and TB. I have a set of queries based on TA. I want to substitute TB for TA (i.e. TB will stand in place of TA). I want the old TA queries remain unchanged but now be based on TB.
If I delete TA and then rename TB into TA, I will lose the queries. Therefore I want to 'point' the queries (in the most efficient way) to TB instead of to TA.
Then I can delete TA. Then I can rename TB into TA and the queries will follow along, I expect.
I have been trying in vain to find a way of pointing the queries to TA instead of TB? How do I do it?
I have done it with Forms (Design Views, Properties), where I can select a datasource. But where is the corresponding thing enabling me to select a datasource for Queries?
Thanks.

I have a Query called Median and all it does is pulls all the fields and all the records from 1 table. Since the Query is connected to a lot of other queries, and the table it's connected to changes twice a month, I was wondering if there was a way to set this up in a form maybe using vb, so a user could maybe Click a new table from a combo box list of current tables in the database, then click a button that says "Change", and it change all the fields to the new table and removes the old table from the query.
Or what might be better is: Already on the form, i have part of the name of the new table already entered by the user (it bases the new name of the new table off this text box). So, what I can use is the Text in that box and an & " the rest of the tablename", and automatically change the table in the Median Query based on that criteria. If that is too complicated, then a combo box will be sufficient.
Another way i guess, would be to setup a hidden field that takes whatever's in my text box (which is a date) and adds " the rest of the tablename", then I could base the replacement table of the Median on that one text box.
Anyway, is there a way to do this?
I have a table and a simple query that pulls results from the table. Nothing too crazy. But, if I were to go in and change some of the data/values in the query results it will change the respective data in the table. I know that this cannot be right. What do I have to do to either prevent the ability to change query results and/or prevent any changes in the query from altering the original data in the table.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a training Database in Access 2010 that I am creating. I have "courseindex" which is the table that has course titles and the course required frequency. I also have "trainingcompleted" which is the table that contains all training my employees have completed. The form "training" contains employee data and all training each employee has completed.
On the form "training", the training completed is selected from a combo box, which is pulled from the table "courseindex". When I update the combo box, I would like the training frequency field that corresponds to the selected training to auto fill in my "trainingcompleted" table.
Once completed I should be able to generate a report, where the user enters a date range and it will tell me who is due for training within that time frame. I have the forms, tables, and reports set up. I can enter the next due data in manually each time I update a record, but I would rather that data be updated automatically, since the frequency for each training will never change. I have over forty courses that employees must take. Some courses are required annually, some bi-annually, some every five years, etc...

HI
I did some BAD planning before I started creating my database and I set a text field ("field1") of a table ("table1") as primary key, then I linked this field to a field in another table ("table2", one-to-many relationship). Now I wan't to change some values in table1 in "field1" defined as primary, but I can't (Access refuses to do so...).
Because I have a lot of data entered allready I would like to know if there is any way for me to change values in "table1"/"field1" and that all the linked fields in other tables ("table2") would change correspondingly??????
I hope my question is clear enough to understand.
thanx in advance
Hi all,
I'm struggling with a small issue that has to be quite simple.
I have a form called "Project Main" with a label called "Check".
There is a sub form called "PM Main" with a button "Button1".
What I want to do is to have the label "Check" change color when the button "Button1" is clicked. The color change is record specific, so here is what I have done:
-Created a table [Updated] that contains the project number [ID#] and a yes/no field [PM Updated]
-Now I need to be able to change that value (yes/no) when the button "Button1" is clicked.
-Then I need to have the main form "Project Main" check to see what the value of the [updated] table is.
-Then I need to have code to update the color of label "Check"
Does this make sense or am I making more complicated than it is?

I have this code that a member helped me create in one of my forms. However, the date that is being input into the table is 30 Dec 99. It won't change no matter what the code is changed to.
The date is showing up correctly in the subform, it is just not inputting right into the table.
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Dim intNQ
intNQ = Nz(DMax("QuizNo", "tblQuizzes", "logon='" & Environ("Username") & "'"), 0) + 1
Me.subrmQuizzes.Form.Logon = Environ("Username")
Me.subrmQuizzes.Form.DATEControl = Format(Now(), "DD MMM YYYY")
Me.subrmQuizzes.Form.QuizNo = intNQ
CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO tblQuizzes ( QUIZNO, [DATE], LOGON )SELECT " & intNQ & " , " & Format(Now(), "DD/MM/YYYY") & " , '" & Environ("Username") & "'"
End Sub
Any ideas?
Hi everyone. Over the last couple months, this site has been a real lifesaver for me, just reading about similar problems to mine. This new problem, however, I have no idea how to search for.
I have a table in the following layout:
ID, FieldName, Value
10001, ID, 10001
10001, FIRSTNAME, Jonathan
10001, SURNAME, Reid
10001, ADDRESS, 10 Abbotsford Road
I need to be able to flip it around to be in the following layout
ID, FIRSTNAME, SURNAME, ADDRESS
10001, JONATHAN, REID, 10 Abbotsford Rd
The table is about 30 fields wide and about 450 records long, therefore I cannot do it manually.
I'd appreciate any help
I've spent most of the afternoon trying to find an answer to my question so please forgive me if I just didn't have the right keywords to find it via search.
I have several clients that use my database which is split into two parts, one of which is the data back end. At times I release upgrades to the whole package and must currently go through the process of having them get me the BE file and I manually make changes to tables and update data.
What I was hoping to do was create a seperate database that could link to the BE file, check for structure items and if they are missing add them. For instance if I have a new field I want to add to a table it will look for it, add it, and then if necessary add data. This way I could have one master file that I could send my clients and have them run it and not have to worry about the timing issues of transfering files back and forth.
Any guidance would be great. Not necessarily needing lengthy examples that would take a lot of your time to type out, simply want to know if it's possible and the basics that I can research and read up on.
Thank you in advance for your time! :)
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

Ive got 4 tables with on field name MO_ID that is formatted as a number. I then have a make table/append query that takes these 4 tables and puts them all into one table. At this step, I need to convert the field MO_ID to being a text field so that I can use an update query to change some special scan codes into word equivalents. For example, 100066 is getting updated to "Admin".
The simple solution would seem to be to change the the original 4 table fields to a text, but that wont work in this case. I have several other queries that need to have relational properties with other tables that comparing numbers to numbers so that wont work.
Is there a way to make that field change to a text field? But only when I run a certain query and only in that one table?
I have a table that contains all of our company pricing for services. You can see a screen shot of the table here:
http://www.x-raysband.com/table1.jpg
All of this data is locked and cannot be changed by the user. However, the seasons keep getting mixed up. What I mean by this is that suddenly there will be a record missing from one of the seasons and there is a duplicate record in one of the other seasons. See the spot-shadowed fields here:
http://www.x-raysband.com/table2.jpg
Off season and Spring are now missing entries for CDJ, INC but the records that belong in those places are now showing as duplicate entries in Prime and Regular. Simply put, the season name somehow got changed within the record, but there is nothing in the system that allows a user to do that.
This has been happening ever since I added the pricing feature to the DB and I am completely stumped. Our work DB has the tables stored in a SQL server back end.
If anyone can shed some light on why this might be happening, any help would be appreciated.
Is it possible to change the properties of a linked table from Number to Text and have this remain constant using VB code. If so, how can I do this?

I am currently working on a large project to track, issue out, and re supply an operational stock of various tools and parts we use in our shop on a normal basis. This program is in it's beginning steps at the moment, and already I need some help.
If anyone has any tips on how I can change the raw numerical data in my table, via a textbox and a command button on a form, I would be greatful. I am trying to avoid allowing users to directly modify table data. Although this method is what I am aiming for, I will gladly accept any suggestions. Thanks

My scenario is that a user enters how many parts of 'Part No.' are going in or out of Inventory. I also would like fields automatically entered on other tables based on the data the user enters. All I need is some understanding of how to code something like this or a pointing in the direction of a resource that can tell me how to code this VBA stuff and the syntax required.
Hopefully you get what I mean.
Thanks.
I have a database with 8 tables. When I create a replica, one of the tables (only one) in the replica gets modified such that Data Type for all the fields is Calculated, with the effect that the data cannot be changed by the user. The table design is not changed in the Master. What the heck? Of course the table design cannot be modified in the Replica, and there's no reason to modify it in the Master. A second replica on a different server had the same result.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy database consists of one large table of approx 3.9m rows and about 12 different columns. One of my columns is of a data type "date/time" but i need the format of this column to be "text"
The problem is that when I right click the table/go to design view/ and try to change the data type, I get the error "Microsoft Access can't change the data type. There isn't enough disk space or memory."
Which means i can't take the easy way out. Is there a way I can just create a new identical table and change the data type of my one column? I was thinking there might be something in SQL I could do, or some how in creating an identical table where only the field type has changed. I should note, I looked up this using the access in file, and it appears the ALTER TABLE SQL will not work on my machine.
the dataset was created from a txt file which as been lost to the ether, and I can't import the database into excel using a macro I didn't write unless the format of my column is text.
I have made a table and quered that table. I have a form that I designed and is working well. It updates the table like it is supposed to. The problem I have is when I go in and change the master table. I decided that instead of havinga field titled "Unlisted/Listed" I just made it Listed and you put a yes or no. But when I do that and go back to the form a box pops up asking for some value. How do I fix this? Thank you.

I have a login button in which if the username has an empty password or the user is his/her first time to login, another form will appear which is the Set New Password. How can I change the password of that current user, my Set New Password Form has two fields which is 'txtSetPassword1' and 'txtSetPassword2' and an OK button.
The user must enter a new password and a verification password, if the 2 fields matched, the new password entered will change the password in the table. The table name is 'tbl_UsernamesQry'.
I have done it but the main problem is, it changes the other's users password not the current user.
Here is my code for the OK button of that form Set New Password:
Private Sub btnSetOk_Click()
If Me.txtSetPassword1.Value = Me.txtSetPassword2.Value Then
Me.txtSetPassword1.SetFocus
[Code].....
I'm having a problem changing the hyperlinks in my access table.the hyperlinks point to locations of various documents on the server i.e. Server Quality DocumentsDoc1.docx
we have 2 domains at work so on one domain the hyper link works but on the other it doesn't.I did a find and replace so i have formatted all hyperlinks as such..Server.mydomain.localQualityDocumentsDoc1.doc x
However, this approach hasn't worked as it has only altered the 'text to display' and not the actual address (if i right click the hyperlink -> edit hyperlink the address is still ServerQualityDocumentsDoc1.docx).Is there away to change the Address fields of all the hyperlinks in one go?
