I have an application that uses Oracle 8.i remotely. The application selects tables from Oracle, opens them, and ultimately uses the selected open table to create a temporary Access table on a PC's hard drive; the user can then manipulate the Access data locally and then save the data back to the remote Oracle database.
This works great on several PCs where I work, however one PC is giving me fits. When I attempt to select an Oracle table to create the local Access table, I get the following message:
"Run-time error '-2147467259 (80004005)': Data type is not supported"
We are using Jet Providers internally and are using Jet 4.0. The PC causing fits is using Access 2003.
Might the problem be caused by incompatibility between Access 2003 and Jet 4.0? Has anyone else encountered this issue? I tried searching this forum and also the Microsoft web site, but did not have luck. This is driving me slightly more nuts.
I have a table with a field with names set to text data type and i want to change it to number data type but when i do it in design view the data get lost. I want to know if there is a way to convert the data in the field as number type and keep the data in the field.
Hi, got a slight problem. As part of an ASP website I'm trying to insert into two linked tables in an access database using SQL. Standard SQL syntax woiuld be:
INSERT ALL INTO tblParent(name, Address) Values ('Dave','Home') INTO tblChild(age, phone) Values ('35','1234567');
Thing is, does Access SQL support the INSERT ALL INTO statement? I keep getting syntax errors and I can only guess it might be this. if so, how do you make multiple table inserts into Access through SQL?
I have 5 different tables that are all linked with foreign keys. When I made my fifth table and linked it to my primary key like I had with the other tables I got the Join expression not supported error.
I have a field in a table that is comprised of mostly numerical data but some records are text.
I want to convert this field to numerical only and make a new field to put the textual data in.
However converting the field will delete the textual data. What is the easiest way to convert the field but save the textual data AND append the textual data to the SAME record that they were in originally in the new field?

To give you an idea of whats goin on... I took an excel file used xls converter and made it into a access database... I uploaded the database to the server and this is the error I got in dreamweaver... So I tried to used the MySQL Migration Tool Kit to make this a MySQL database and THis is the error I got when I was trying to execute the bulk transfer... Any Ideas? Please?
I am trying to execute the query below with multiple left joins because of the data I am trying to get back. The weird thing is sometimes it work and then sometimes it gives me a join expression error. It seems that access strangely removes brackets around the ON clauses. However even when I put those brackets back in this query it isn't working. why this query isn't running or why the brackets disappear in Access 2010.
SELECT Patients.[First Name] & " " & Patients.[Surname] AS Fullname , [Clinic Patient].[MYMOP ID] , NZ(MYMOPs.[MYMOP Date], [Clinic Patient].[First Appointment]) AS [MYMOP1 Date] , MYMOPs.Completed AS [MYMOP1 Completed]
the databases functionally normally with no issue. I have several databases one for each project and they are all having this issue. It doubles the size of the DB after the failure. This seems to tell me that the crash is just after the DB is ready to rewrite the database compacted. I run C&R about every 2 weeks and have a spread sheet tracking DB size prior to and after C&R. The compactions run from about 1% to 15% the norm seams to be 4% to 6%. The size of the DBs run from 65KB to 100KB.
I’m not an expert in Access and hope that someone can help me with my problem. I have about 20 fields of Yes/No data type.
E.g. StudentID- Tex Science – Yes/No Math – Yes/No Biology – Yes/No Chemistry – Yes/No Economics – Yes/No ...
I would like to create a parameter query (without using form combo box) where when I run the query, it would prompt me for the subject name. Let say I keyed in Science, it would list out all the StudentsID who took up Science only (with a Yes) and the other subjects.
I want to input data number such as 0.5 in my table, but it doesn't work. I already fill field size : integer with format : Standard with Decimal : 2, but the result is always 0.00 not 0.50 as my expectation. How to define that in my table?
When exporting a table to excel is there anyway to presever the data structure - ie a text field of length 30 will only take text length 30, Interger would only take integer and date would only take date etc, etc ,etc.
Hi, Trying to get back into Access after a long time, just need some refreshing :) tips.
I have 2 tables, one of the tables stores titles (mr, mrs, etc). I tried using the 'lookup' data type to link the data from the other table. This however stores the field as a number and causes problems on my form as only a number is shown rather that the text.
I have a rich text editor that I want to use to post HTML to an access database field. The average post will probably be four hundred or more characters. What is the best Data Type to use for this. I am looking at going with Memo but I want to be sure.
How can format proper display for percentage values. What happens is I chose a field as percent, but if I put in 9 meaning 9 % I get 900% as the value is multiplied by 100, but if I put in 0.09 I get 0%. I just want to put in day 9 and be saved as 9%.
hello people, i wanted to add a string at the end of a long column of Currency. Is there any to to change only the last field to a string or do i have to change the whole column just for the last field?
I'm using Access 2002 and need to increase some field sizes, some by increasing the maximum number of characters and others by changing from Text to Memo. When I try to do this I get the message "Microsoft Access cannot change the data type. There isn't enough disk space or memory"
I have two 320GB hard drives and 4GB of RAM and the Access file is a mere 280MB. Can anyone please explain the problem and tell me how to achieve my objective?
I have a DB that was given to me with a SSN field that has the Number Data Type. Therefore, if the SSN has a zero as the first number, it is not coming up. Other than changing data type to Text, is there a property that would keep the initial zero? Thank you for your assistance.
I have inherited a table where the data type is binary in some cases and I want to change these to Numerical. When I do this in design, I get a message which says I can't do that. I have something like 200,000 records.
If I try to export as Text file I get Invalid Argument message coming up. Can anyone help?
i am creating a database that will include four (4) tables that need to have an autonumber as a primary key, but i need that autonumber to be preceded by a letter (one letter for each table). i am creating forms for the users to based on these tables for users to enter data. please help...i'm running short on time. thanx!
the database i'm creating will be used to store city issued permits. there a 4 different types of permits that can be issued, some w/the same info (i.e. contractor, owner) and others with different data (certain permits are only issued for a specific # of days, others require a tap or meter size, etc.). i have separate tables for the contractors, owenrs, and payments, but each payment needs to be associated with a particular permit #. for example: check #3 from john doe contracting is associated with permit # m123, or h123, etc. that's why i decided to have a separate table for each permit type. i was attempting to avoid data redundancy. i also need separate forms for the users to enter data into as per their request. i'm open to suggestion if you have some other ideas. thanx in advance. :confused:
I have a table that i need to be able to store text that may be over 255 characters long. I have changed the fields datatype setting to memo as I thought this was able to show Up to 65,535 characters. But the data is still being trimmed to 255 characters. I have looked in Access help at data types and it states that the memo field length is 65,535 characters
"if manipulated through DAO and only text and numbers [not binary data] will be stored in it, then the size of the Memo field is limited by the size of the database."
My question is?
How do I know if it is manipulated by DAO
If it is not manipulated by DAO how can I change it (if possible) as I really need to full data to be retained
