Also, is there a way to automatically open a particular form when the database is opened?

How Do I Create A Link To A Foxpro Table Using OLEDB Provider?

Jul 17, 2006

Hi!

I am a newbie in Access. I am running Access 2003 and would like to be able to create links to Visual Foxpro9 tables using the VFP OleDB provider and not the ODBC drivers.

A few of my clients want to use the VFP9 tables in their reports but so far I have not been able to find a way to do it using OLEDB (except in a module with VBA code which I don't want).

I can do it using the ODBC but the problem is that ODBC driver does not recognise the VarChar fields in the tables.

I tried creating an Access project and then 'File --> Connections' but it does not display the 'Provider' tab to select which provider to use and by default assumes that SQL Server is the source database.

How can I get Access 2003 to allow me to select the OLEDB Provider?
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Create/Link Smaller Tables To One Large Table

Jun 22, 2005

I am a newbie when it comes to Access and ASP but I am trying. I am in the need for some help.
I have a large table in Access 2003 and need to break it into smaller tables (not using a query) where the fields are the same except each of the smaller, new tables will hold info for a specific person. These smaller tables would need tro be linked to the larger.
Is there an easy way to do this? I need to keep it in tables due to the ASP software I use to generate the asp pages.
Is this possible?
My goal is for each user to be able to only view/edit their data and for the large table to reflect any changes made to the smaller table.
Thanks,
Dan

Forms :: Create New Record In Form - How To Requery Subform To Link Properly

Apr 2, 2013

I have a form (frmAddManifest) with a subform (subfrmManifestTransporters).

When creating a new record, I can enter data into frmAddManifest, but the subform doesn't update to link with the record - I presume it's because the record from the main form hasn't been completed yet.

Is there a way to requery the form and/or subform so it stays on the record I was working on, and link the subform properly?

Modules & VBA :: Create And Open Variable Folders With Link Created In Access Query

Aug 5, 2014

I am trying to set up something to be able to take me to a folder that holds various forms for personnel. I have a query that generates the link for each person. I have tried to set it up as a hyperlink in ACCESS 2013 and it displays as one but doesn't act like one.

I want to be able to click the link and have it open up a personnel folder for that individual. I can't find a MACRO that I can create to do it. Example of my query is that it creates a link K:Main BreakdownSection BreakdownPersonnel FoldersName and the name is the variable part.

My next problem will be to have it create that folder when we have new personnel arriving.

I would also note that I have not worked with ACCESS in many years and much of what I was able to do with 2002 and 2003 doesn't work with the newer versions of ACCESS.

Direct Table Access

Feb 23, 2007

I have a database that's almost finished. I've built a few forms for the major parts of the database, but some other data is only changable through the tables directly. The remaining tables (without corresponding forms) are pretty small and shouldn't require changing that often.

Assuming I put user-level restrictions on the database, would it be okay to allow certain users to directly add/edit/remove entries to these tables?

My instincts tell me I should make a simple form for each table, but I'm looking for the path of least effort.

Combo Direct From Table

Dec 7, 2005

I want to create a combo box that links direct to a table, rather than going through a query. Then when you select the record from the list it updates a text field to show the memo field of which the selected reccord is related

Can any one help

I tried using a query to do it, however queries only ever allow a maximum of 255 charcacters in the fields
basically the code looked like this

cboAfterUpdate()

me.txtfield = me.cboselection.column(1) ' because the data was in the seccond column
end sub

but as you can guess this only allows 255 characters to come accross from the memo field

However, some input are not in the query list, if I input data directly to the field, ACCESS complained I must choose item from the query result.

Reports :: Excel Template File - Direct Access What To Put In Which Cell?

Nov 24, 2014

How much formatting can be done to a report from Access into Excel? I am trying to (or will be in the next day or so) to create a report to export data and I would like it presented in a specific format. This is hopefully to replace a spreadsheet where someone currently has to collate and re-type a load of info that has already been typed into various other spreadsheets.

Access is going to happily cope with all of those users entering their data to a table, and I would like to be able to output that data to something similar to the end result now? Is there a way to have an Excel template file and simply direct Access what to put in which cell?

Tables :: Modifying MS Access Database - Direct Order Or Placement Of Fields Within Table

Feb 5, 2013

Is it possible to direct the placement/order new of fields when modifying an Ms Access database in code?

I need to modify the schema of an MS Access database via code - but I want to be able to direct the order or placement of the fields within the tables.

For example - if TableOne has 3 fields - Field10, Field20 and Field30.

I would like to be able to add say Field15 between Field10 and Field20 - not just append it to the end of existing fields.

I believe it is possible as you can do it within Ms Access itself. I can use ADO, DAO, ADOX or SQL for that matter - but it seems all of these offer no placement of the field within the table.

Link To External Data

Apr 24, 2006

I have a fairly complex database that will have many users. I am looking for a way to sort of link the data in a text box to an external database or text file of some sort to know who created a new record in it.

For example:

The database is on a network drive. Each person who will have access to it has a small file in their C: drive that contains their name. Whenever a new record is created, the name on that file is added to the record to know who is it that added it.

How do I do that?

Thanks

How To Link Data On The Import

Oct 5, 2013

I accepted a month long job in putting together an Access database for a trucking company. I don't know how to make the incoming data know that it is related to its perspective field in other tables.Also, I am not understanding is how to link the tables. I have a main table with all the data. It is by date, and has all transactions, which Access assigned a number per transaction as the primary key. Then I have an Employee table (the truck drivers), a Customer table (the truck driver's company), an employee productivity table (includes wages, pay rate, Emp names, etc) and a truck table.

I tried linking the tables, but not sure if it is correct. I linked the Customer and Employee table via an EmpID foreign key in the Customer table. The employee productivity table is linked to the employee table via an EmpProd foreign key in the employee table. And the Customer table is linked to the truck table via a Cust foreign key in the Truck table. The table with all data is indexed to the Emp table, and under relationships the arrow points from the Emp table to the all data table, but there is no one to many (etc.) relationship because I did not know how to establish one. I tried reversing the arrow, but it wouldn't let me. I don’t even know the difference between an indexed link verses a relationship link.

The data itself is not linked. The Employees in the employee table does not know that it is the same field in the other tables. The all data table has EmpName daily info with only about 20 names, but about 4,000 fields. I listed the 20 names in the EmpName field of the tblEmp, but do not understand how to make both tables realize that it is the same field. It does not seem to realize that it is the same field because it does not rearrange the two field data with the correct data. I have this problem with all my tables.

So when I need to add the rest of the data, I don’t think the data knows where to go.

What am I doing wrong?

(I am using Access 2007 at work, and completed a class on 2010.)

I know you can do a SQL link but you have to pay for licences is there any way of doing this? We can not use a schudules job either??

How To Link Additional Data Source To A Form

Mar 22, 2006

Hi All,

I have a db with three linked (related) tables. I have a form that has, at present, only one of these tables as a data source. Now I want to bring a couple of fields from another table into that form.

I know how to link a table to two data sources when first creating a table. But how do I do it when the table already exists?

I tried Table Design View | View Properties | Data source,
but that allows only one data source. If I link to another, the first disappears.

Thanks.

How To Link Time-dependent Data Tables ?

Jan 13, 2007

While much of the discussions here are out of my league, this may just be the place to finally get some help.

I have a hobby weather station and I am also into gardening. Over the years I have accumulated a fair amount of data/ observations which are currently in assorted Excel spreadsheets & are becoming more an more difficult to maintain.

So, I decided to move the various Excel tables into MS Access. While I was able to draft a entity-relationship diagram for my horticultural data, I am at a total loss when it comes to weather/ climate data which are primarily time-dependent. With other words, I cannot find any references that explain how to design pairs of foreign and primary key for linking datasheets that contain time varying data such as various weather and climate data.

I have ordered dozens of books through the local library. Every book presents exactly the same example: customers and orders/sales. This example is fine when you have a myriad of interdependencies in your data (and proved useful for my horticultural data). But, my weather data are more or less independent of one another; the only thing they have in common is the time/date when I make the observations.

Do I have to create dozens of surrogate keys and add a ton of redundant data ?? I hope not !

Tables :: Manipulate Table With LINK To Data From SQL

Feb 25, 2015

I've nearly cracked where I want to be. I have essentially had to do the core of the back-end in SQL in order to organize the data in a way that actually makes sense to ACCESS.

Following this I now have a table with the following fields

Stock No
SK Code
Free Stock Qty
Stk Qty Pd
Actual Min
Actual Max
Forecast EoM
Forecast +1Month
Forecast +2Month

Essentially this is a stock forecast sheet. It takes into consideration incoming stock and estimated usage to provide an output as a "Forecast" stock level at the end of the forthcoming months.

The next phase of developing this is to allow users to manually change the front end by Group and Part Number with Quantity entry so that it auto updates the Estimated EoM, +1Month or +2Month figures depending on which month figure they are looking at. In addition, this information would need to be retained and ideally stored as individual tables or other .

Tables :: Link Dynamic Data From Web Page

Aug 28, 2013

I want to be able to connect dynamic web data such as live gold price, exchange rates from the relevant web pages to a table in Access 2010. I have searched the forum without finding any related answers.

I understood that this can be done in Excel by using "Get External Data from Web" where the connected cells will be updated along with live data changes in the linked web page. I could set up a link table from Excel in Access but this would be tedious since the Excel file has to be opened to get the data refreshed everytime I open the Access file.

How to load dynamic data directly from web site to an Access table?

Possible To Link All Data In Ten Tables To Appear In One Master Table?

Aug 19, 2013

I was wondering if it was possible to have a master table where say 10 of my regulatory tables and their data once inputted from the forms will appear there? Is this possible? Because right now, each of my regulatory tables has a form where the data is inputted and appears within said table.

All these tables are separate, obviously. I want to consolidate all the information into one spot, is this a possibility within access?

Forms :: Create Data Entry Form To Input Data For Field

Mar 5, 2015

I an trying to create a data entry form (IndividualsEntryFm) to input data for fields such as (First Name),(Birthdate) etc., these to be saved to the (IndividualsTbl)

I also have another table (NamesTbl) which has family names etc. The two tables are linked by a (MainID) field. I want a combo box on the individualsEntryFm so that I can select the family name. Then I wish the empty fields for the IndividualsTbl to be available to enter data.When I press the save button I then want this data saved, together with the MainID from the combo box to the IndividualsTbl.

I have set the IndividualsTbl with a (PersonID) field as an auto number each individual therefore has a unique PersonID but may well share the MainID. I'm trying to link many people to the same address.
