I have linked a SQL table to my ms access database. In order to view the SQL table as read-only and still be able to update the access table I have setup a form with a subform.
I know it would be a dublication of data but is there a way thru code of copying the data on the subform to my access table. I was hoping I could put a button on the form that would copy this data. My idea is after the copy is done all the information I need will be in my access table. I'm new to this linking idea and am worried I will only have half the information I need if the link breaks etc.
Thanks
I am looking to copy one exceptionally large table to another. I can use VBA to copy the entire Report2013.accdb to Report.accdb while compacting at the same time. This is very fast and works well. However once it's copied I need to rename the table tblReport2013 to tblReport. None of these table are in the accdb that I am running the scripts from FrontEnd.accdb. I am working very hard to keep the data tables under the 2 GB limit, which is why linking and keeping the data separate is necessary. There is the chance that Report2013 will be on the network while tblReport will be local to the user, and may or may not be a subset of the Report2013.
I have considered a number of options: DoCmd.Rename - I can't seem to tell it a database location
I could try docmd.copyobject - and see if it keeps the file size the same or smaller then the original.
I could just write the sql statement and copy the data that way, and compact the table afterwards. The trouble with doing the transfer that way is hitting the 2GB limit, before I can compact/compress the newly imported data.It just seems odd to have to find another solution when all I really want to to rename a table and ensure the new new is still linked as a separate table.
i have a form THE OREDER FORM and on it there is a subform that stores a list of codes and corresponding products for a particular order.
Now what happens is that sometimes ORDERS have the same product codes, so what I wish is to see if it is possible in same way or another to copy the data on the subform to create the next record as the previous one, and thus avoiding re-choosing all the products.
I have an access db with a linked table (to Sharepoint) which contains about 15000 records. I have to copy those records to the local access db. To do this I have a bit of VBAcode. It works, but for each next record that is copied it takes a bit longer. When starting the program the records are copied quite fast, but soon you see it slowing down until after a couple of thousand records it just goes too slow to be usefull, meaning it would take a lot of days to copy all records.
What I now do is let it copy 500 records and exit ms-access completely and then start it again and let it copy the next 500 records. This works but is tedious as I have to do it about 35 times. Why this gradual slowdown occurs?
The VBA code is pretty straightforward.(I use VBA because I do a bit of data wrangling while reading in the values of the records)
Code:
Dim importdb1 As DAO.Database Dim rsimportdb1 As DAO.Recordset Dim i As Double Set importdb1 = CurrentDb Set rsimportdb1 = importdb1.OpenRecordset("2015") Set rsMain = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("tbl_import")
I am creating a database where I want to have a table that has references to another table.
I have an ID field in both that are linked. I want to be able to on creation of a new record in this new table have it grab the ID field from the other table.
I am trying to copy the data from one table into another table. I then wanted to update the table where it is copied from. This data i then wanted copied into that table in another row.
Hi: I am looking for some guidance in doing the following: I have a tableO that contains a list of objects that have associated attributes, specifically a list of system_names (object) and the associated attributes (additional fields in the table) that include port_name, port_direction. Think of each one of the records as a template that will supply data to another table, called the Instance table (tableI). The concept is that the user can populate the template with various objects and associated ports, and direction. The table cols are; PK|FK|system_name|port_name|port_direction|
The data for this table is manually entered via an associated form.
At some later time, the user want to make a copy of an object(e.g. a record in tableO) by populating Table I (the instance table). The first few fields of tableI are named identical to tableO. Table I contains additional fields that further refine the template, by adding a object_property field, and a port_direction_property field. Table I looks like: PK|FK|system_name|port_name|port_direction|prop1|p rop2
The forms interface allows the user to fill in the fields in the TableI (intance table) directly, or, lets the user scroll through the list of objects in the template table, and chose a template, copy the fields:system_name|port_name|port_direction into the same fields in table I, and then add values to prop1 and prop 2 manually.
I made the combo box control that will list the objects from the object column of the template table (table O) and make the desired selection. I have a radio button adjacent to the combo box that when clicked, will copy the selected record and designated fields from the template object table (tableO), into the same fields of the instance table (table I). The instance table is displayed on an adjacent form.
After the fields are copied to the instance table, the user can type in the data into the additional fields (e.g. prop_1, prop_2), and complete the record.
I do not know how I can do the 'copy' from tableO to table I when the radio button is pushed. I know to allow an action when the radiobutton is 'clicked'. Table O and tableI are not currently related.
Can you provide some guidance? Thanks a lot for your time J
I'm looking to include a button on a form that opens a new entry in another table and copies some field entries from the first table into the second table. I tried an append query, but it seems to be unable to be displayed in a form. I just want to copy data from one form to another. Thanks.
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.
I want to be able to copy the data within a selected field and then place it into a fresh database is this easily done?
my second questions is i have several fields which need to be merged into one 'Address' field as currently i have data with Building Name, Number, Line1, Line2, Line3, County, Town, Country. This is required to be merged into one field how would i do this?
Not all fields have data is there a way to put a space between each of the current fields when merged as well?
I have two identical access databases. I copied the master file to my desktop to work on it while someone else was in the shared file. I edited about a hundred rows in the Data Entry table (the records exist in both files), and now I want to copy those changes back over to the master file without messing up any of the other data. I'm not sure what the other people changed in the file, I just know what records I have that need to be copied over. Again, they exist in both files, I just want to overwrite the records in the other file with my updated records without affecting other data.
I have a MS Access table containing Dependent social security numbers but some of the dependents social security numbers are blank.
I have a MS Sql Database that contains a table with most of the missing MS Access table dependents Social Security numbers.
How can I take the Dependents social security number from MS Sql Database and copy/update the MS Access table.
I tried the sql code below created from MS Access and it matches 453 records out of 460 dependent social security numbers but how do I update qryGHIAccuracyFile_MissingDepSSN.SSN with the social security number from dbo_depfile1.dep_depend_ssn
Code:
SELECT dbo_depfile1.dep_depend_ssn, qryGHIAccuracyFile_MissingDepSSN.SSN FROM qryGHIAccuracyFile_MissingDepSSN LEFT JOIN dbo_depfile1 ON qryGHIAccuracyFile_MissingDepSSN.MemberSSN = dbo_depfile1.dep_ss_nbr WHERE (((dbo_depfile1.dep_first)=[FirstName]) AND ((dbo_depfile1.dep_last)=[LastName]));
Updating MS Access table dependent blank SSNs with SSN in MS Sql Database.
I have a form that users enter billing logs in. There is a button users can click to the right of their billing data that opens another form where they can enter details regarding the billing log. Beside this button is a check box that shows them if details for this particular billing log has been created.
I can not for the life of me work out how to get the check box to update with a check after I enter Billing details without opening and closing the form again. I felt I have tried requery and refresh in all ways I have seen here, yet it is not working.
The main form is frmDslEnter and the billing log is entered in a subform from here called tblSessions subform. The checkbox on this subform is called chkProgressEntered, and it's control source is =Not IsNull([DSLIDNumber]). I tried putting the refresh on the Close button on the Billing Details page, on the Got Focus of the subform and the main form and haven't had any luck.
I have a form that is based on a linked table of students eligible to complete a online survey. Within that form, I have a sub form (based on another linked table) of students who have completed the form and at what date and time.
Only about 1 in 10 eligible students complete the form.
I'd like to filter by students who have completed the form, and sort by date submitted.
So I have the main form called "students" and the subform with the date submitted is called "New - BasicInfo subform" and they are linked by student ID. The date submitted field in the subform is formatted like "5/6/2013 3:07:32 PM".
I've tried adding this to me "filter" field in the STudents form properties:
Between [Students]![New - BasicInfo subform]![05/06/2013] AND [Students]![New - BasicInfo subform]![10/01/2013]
I have an MS Access accdb with linked SQL Server 2012 ODBC tables. I am working on a procedure to copy data from local tables to these linked tables (identical schema). I did a simple
Code:
DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO linkedTable SELECT * FROM localTable"
This works, but is very slow. Way too slow. (INSERT copies the data one record at a time).
I would like to copy the data in a bulk operation, or operations that I can execute programmatically.
Hi, I am extracting data from linked db2 table using access make table query. First I create a select query and can view the linked db2 data, but when I change to a make table query I get an error message, "invalid argument", when I run the make table query. There is no selection critera specified. Has anyone had this happen? and Do you know a solution?
I have one DB that is used for creating/storing customer ID's, and another DB that is used for creating/storing job information for customers.I have linked the table from the customer DB to the job DB.
There is a table in the job database that holds customer name and ID, and some VBA that generates unique job codes.
Is it possible to have the data from the linked table automatically update into the existing table?
I'm having trouble with a new project I'm working on. The application is mainly going to be used to display data, which comes from a linked table. It has to be a linked table (in my opinion) because it's replaced once per week from a fresh data dump. For each of those records, though, there will be notes made in a local table named "Custom-Data". My trouble is displaying a mix of information from the linked table, "Roster", and "Custom-Data" because linked tables can't be assigned a primary key.
Essentially, when a record is pulled up, a bunch of data from "Roster" will be shown in addition to the comments from "Custom-Data".
In a linked table Access solution where the tables reside on the network, and each user has a front-end on their desktop, does all the data travel over the network to the clients desktop to do the query, or since the backend is Access and it can obviously understand the query, does the backend do the query and just return the resultset?
My goal is to get a huge amount of data paired down so that I can work with it in Excel.
I started with a 14 million record text file provided by a government agency. I used a text editor to break that into 7 2-million record files to fit into Access.
I figure I can filter each of those files down to 500,000 or so records, so that I can manipulate them in Excel. The problem is, when I open a text file in Access, Access insists on linking it, and then I can't delete data from a linked file.
I have all my data sitting on a server in SQL. Within Access, I have linked tables pointing at SQL tables. I display the data on an Access form. Somewhere in their it is dropped a few records. This system is used for in and out processing and occasionally misses a few individuals. Could this have anything to do with the method in opening the table, ie dbopenTable vs dbOpenSnapshot.
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 that reads from one Linked Table and Updates a Local Table. Is it possible to move the Local Table to the Back End and still be able to append fields and change field names etc?
If anyone can help, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
I have a table in MS Access 2010 that is a link to an external data file in .csv format. I assumed that it was not possible to append data to a linked table until recently. I appended 3 records to the linked table and discovered that the 3 records were appended to the table and the external data file it was linked to.
I have a table that have about 5000 records. Also I have a report that include a label which is linked to this table.
The problem i have is that when i have heavy data in the table like 5000 record and above, the label is not taking data from first to last record from the table, it is taking from record 1200 reaching record 5000 then it takes record 1 to 1199.
Therefore when label is previewed, we are viewing data on label from 1200 to 5000 then from 1 to 11900 and not from 1 to 5000
On the other hand, when i don't have heavy data in the table, everything is working good and the label is getting its data from first to last record successfully.
