I am using Access 2007 and would like to know how to copy column names from one table to another. I am importing data from excel and the column names come out as 'Field 1', 'Field 2', etc. I went through the trouble of manually renaming the column names of one of the tables (22 columns in all). I will be importing/creating 55 new access tables and don't want to have to manually rename all of these columns. All of the columns in all of the tables will be exactly the same, so I was hoping that after I did this once, I could copy the column names to the other 54 tables.
I have 2 or 3 Queries which are run specifically export data to an Excel file required by external agencies.The queries contain column headings, required by the agencies, which are not derived from Table fields. Obviosly, no record data is produced for these columns.When the queries are run, the dreaded 'Enter Parameter Value' message appears for each to the additional column headings.
The following is a copy of the SQL Code for one such Query;
SELECT DISTINCTROW [Name1] AS Title, [Mail List].[First Name], [Mail List].Surname, [Mail List].[Address 1], [Mail List].PostCode, [Name2] AS [Aggregated Donations], [Name3] AS [Sponsored Event], [Mail List].SubDate, Sum([Mail List].[ Recd]) AS [SumOf Recd] FROM [Mail List] GROUP BY [Name1], [Mail List].[First Name], [Mail List].Surname, [Mail List].[Address 1], [Mail List].PostCode, [Name2], [Name3], [Mail List].SubDate, [Mail List].[Gift Aid] HAVING ((([Mail List].SubDate)>#4/4/2014# And ([Mail List].SubDate)<#4/6/2015#) AND (([Mail List].[Gift Aid])=True));
Is there not some way in which these columns can be defined in Property Sheet such that this error message is prevented?
In Tbl_Output's 3rd column, only the Columns names: Name, Age and Location are repeated for each person and not column names ID1,ID2 (only its data xxx,yyy etc. is required in columns 1 and 2 as shown).
I was helped by rpeare with a VBA module that gives a single column output in Tbl_Output as

The code is:
Sub main()
Dim db As Database Dim rstElements As Recordset Dim sName As String Dim sNumber As String Dim sArea As String Dim freefile Dim Filenumber As Integer Dim sSQL As String
Set db = CurrentDb Set rstElements = db.OpenRecordset("tbl_elements") rstElements.MoveFirst
sSQL = "DELETE * FROM Tbl_Output" db.Execute sSQL
Do While rstElements.EOF <> True sName = rstElements.Fields(1) sNumber = rstElements.Fields(2) sArea = rstElements.Fields(3)
My employer wants me to update and revise a form with almost a hundred controls. All of the information is stored in a single table.
Is there a way that I can (easily) sort the order of columns in the table to alphabetize them? I know how to sort and filter records, is there a way to sort the columns other than the manual click and drag solution?
Note: I know that the database I'm working on for this project is not normalized. My employer isn't concerned with normalization. I've made as many corrections to the table as possible, already, but some things just won't be fixed.
I wonder how can I list all the column names for a given table using a single query? I know how to do it in SQL using system tables, but no idea how to do that in Access.
Is there a simple way of copying the same data down a column in Access similar to Excel with its Fill Down Column. I have tryed copying down a column and it only goes one cell at a time or if I copy 5 cells with the same data, I can copy it to 5 empty cells.
I have a table called ComponentIndex with about 3000 entries. Each entry has an ID field and data in a hyperlink field called MSDSlink.
For each entry, I want to copy just the address part of the hyperlink to a new text column, let's call it MSDSAddress. This way, I only have the URL and no displaytext in that new column.
I am trying to create an ASP script that I can use to take the column names out of my access database, and then take out the data. I have a select statment like this:
Code: <%Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")conn.open "source","",""SQL_query = "SELECT * FROM table"Set RS = conn.Execute(SQL_query)%><%WHILE NOT RS.EOF%><%=RS("field")%><%RS.MoveNext WEND%>
I would just like to make it so the above script just takes out each column header from my database table, and instead of the <%=RS("field") it shows the current column name.
I have a project of migrating our Access data to Oracle. One of the pre-reqs the boss wants is to uppercase all of the column names (Field name) for all of the tables. I want to avoid manually going in all the tables and changing the case of the columns because there is like 300 tables where dealing with. I was wondering if in Access..is there an efficient way of converting my column names to upper case via script? VBA or Macro?
I am trying to create a rolling twelve month query that will total the months across. I set the query up so that it is a rolling twelve month, but I am having difficulty getting it to list the months across. I would like it to take the first month, list it as a column and show the totals according and the same with each month after. Here is the query that I currently have:
SELECT WIPHistoryTbl.WIP_PART_NUM, WIPHistoryTbl.WIP_MONTH, WIPHistoryTbl.WIP_YEAR, SpinsMonthEndTbl.WEEKS_IN_MONTH, WIPHistoryTbl.WIP_AMOUNT, IIf(Count(Switch([WIP_MONTH_NUM]='06',1))=1,Sum([WIP_AMOUNT]),' ') AS JUNE_TOTALS FROM SpinsMonthEndTbl INNER JOIN WIPHistoryTbl ON (SpinsMonthEndTbl.SPINS_YEAR = WIPHistoryTbl.WIP_YEAR) AND (SpinsMonthEndTbl.ACCT_MONTH = WIPHistoryTbl.WIP_MONTH_NUM) GROUP BY WIPHistoryTbl.WIP_PART_NUM, WIPHistoryTbl.WIP_MONTH, WIPHistoryTbl.WIP_YEAR, SpinsMonthEndTbl.WEEKS_IN_MONTH, WIPHistoryTbl.WIP_AMOUNT, WIPHistoryTbl.WIP_MONTH_NUM, SpinsMonthEndTbl.BEG_DATE, SpinsMonthEndTbl.END_DATE HAVING (((SpinsMonthEndTbl.BEG_DATE) Between (Now()-365) And (Now()))) ORDER BY WIPHistoryTbl.WIP_YEAR, WIPHistoryTbl.WIP_MONTH_NUM;
I would really like it if the query could look at the BEG_DATE, select the corresponding ACCT_MONTH and show it as the column header.
These are what I would like my results to look like: PART_NUM | 06_TOTALS | 07_TOTALS | 08_TOTALS . . . . . . . . . 123456789 | 10 | 5 | 15 .
I have a spreadsheet which contains data exported from another system (which I have no control over). I'm using this spreadsheet as a linked table in my database.
The problem I am having is that I can't guarantee that when the spreadsheet is updated, it will contain the same column headings as it did the last time...
The spreadsheet contains a list of temps, with a summary of info off their submitted timesheets. So the column headings (as well as WorkerName, TimesheetDate, etc) may be "Standard Hour", "Overtime Hour", "Over 12 hrs Hour", "Standard Day", "Overtime Day", etc - for each type there will be a Pay Rate and a number of units (hours or days) claimed. The columns only appear if 'someone' in the spreadsheet has claimed something under that heading this week.
What I need to do is to produce a report which gives a summary by person and week of the number of hours claimed and the total charge. I've done that - that part was easy The part I'm struggling with, is how to take the column headings and turn those into descriptors for each charge type... in otherwords, to go from the sample 'timesheet' below to the sample 'ByType' ?
... when I don't know which columns will be present each week?
At the moment I'm using a union query to pull out the info I need, but if the column headings change then I know it will stop working...
sample of my union query... I currently have 8 different sets of bill rate and charge rate, this just does the first couple...
Code: SELECT qryTimesheetBaseData.[Time Sheet Start Date], qryTimesheetBaseData.[Time Sheet End Date], qryTimesheetBaseData.[Cost Centre], qryTimesheetBaseData.Worker, "Standard" AS RateType, "Hourly" AS RateCategory, qryTimesheetBaseData.[Bill Rate (ST/Hr)] AS Rate, qryTimesheetBaseData.[Time Sheet Billable Hours (ST/Hr)] AS Billable, qryTimesheetBaseData.[Time sheet Status] AS Status
Select Year,Type,Count(*) from Table group by Year,Type;
I am running the above query to create a bargraph:
Result of my query: Year Type Count ---- ----- ------ OCt-10 Type1 5 Apr-11 Type 4 4
Expected graph:
Y axis Counts X axis Year and then Type together
Two bars in total : One bar for Oct-2010,Type 1 showing a count of 5 One bar for Apr-2011,Type 4 showing a count of 4
Is it possible to show Year as well as the Type values as labels in X axis in a barchart. I know it can be done with pivot charts but I dont know how to create it as a report with pivot barchart .
I'm tracking the holiday entitlement of a team of people. I use a query to work out how much unbooked holiday they have to take.
My problem is where I'm scheduling next year my query returns the names of those who have booked a holiday and their remaining entitelement. That's as it should be. However if someone hasn't yet booked any holidays then it simply doesn't display their record. I would like it to treat that record as zero and show the remaining entitlement as a full years entitlement.
Here's the SQL SELECT Employees.Trainer_Name, Sum([2015 Holiday].[2015 Days]) AS [SumOf2015 Days], Employees.Holiday_Days, [Employees]![Holiday_Days]-[SumOf2015 Days] AS 2015 FROM [2015 Holiday] INNER JOIN Employees ON [2015 Holiday].Trainer_Name = Employees.Trainer_Name GROUP BY Employees.Trainer_Name, Employees.Holiday_Days;
The problem here is that the Sum of 2015 holiday is Null
Is there a way of changing the column heading names on the split form portion of an access form. I tried changing them using a query to populate the form and changing the caption of each field in the query and that didn't work. I also tried adding a [Caption] at the design level of the table and that had no affect also. The split form seems to be displaying a portion of the actual field name or something like that.
I have a report in Access that produces variable headers as the output is different from client to client. When exporting to PDF everything works great but when exporting to Excel these variable headers are exported with their true names. Col8, Col9, Col10 etc. And our clients insist on Excel reports. Is there a way to get the assigned name to export to Excel? Assigned names would be something like Medical, Dental, Vision or whatever is applicable to the client and is assigned to the report through VBA code. BTW, the data for the report is pulled from a cross-tab query so exporting directly from the query has its own set of formatting issues and is the reason I am using a report with variable column headers.
I am working from an existing database which is just two table. The main table has a massive amount of redundancy and duplication and needs splitting into, at first glance, 5 tables.
After I have run my various make table queries and added a Primary Key and FK field to the new tables how do I populate the FK with the Parent PK.
I thought I could simply add all the fields from the new table and then create an adhoc join in an update query to populate the PK to the FK. When I do this however I get "You are about to update 0 records"
I have tried the table analyzer but it doesn't give the correct options to split the table the way I need.
