Database Transfer And Date Probs!
Aug 8, 2005
Hi,
We've got a database that was on an old computer (Windows 98), and we wanted to transfer this database to our new computers (Windows XP). The database transfers over fine, but there seems to be a problem.
When we try to run a report, it doesn't semem to work properly. We are a training agency and the report in question is designed to show the courses booked in for each tutor between two set dates. The dates are typed into a form (start date and end date), and the tutor can also be selected from this form, and then a report is generated.
Without dates being inputted, all the courses are shown (so the report is pages and pages long). This is working ok. However, when dates are inputted the report stops working and error messages appear on the report. Hence it seems to be a problem with the dates, but I can't understand what since all the boxes are exactly the same as the version on the other computer, and when transferred back to the other computer it also works fine.
Any help with what could be going wrong here would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Chris (FANE).

Im stuck on a project that I have received help on before. I am trying to E-Mail a daily report created by a macro in Access 2000. It needs to go out as an excel spreadsheet, but in a format that can be opened in a Blackberry. The advise i was given was to use Transferdatabase. This is where i become unstuck. No matter what I type where i come unstuck. Is there anyone out there that can possibly advise me what to do in "idiot proof" steps?
Im afraid my knowledge of Access is limited to 2 weeks self taught knowhow ?

Hi,
I work in a hospital where each ward has its own identical but UNLINKED staff database. I wanted to make a single database but the management was adamant that for confidentiality they should each be standalone. I lost this argument!
Data is stored in 7 tables: Identity, annual leave, sick leave, qualifications, etc.
Too late, someone has realised that staff may transfer from one ward to another, so the whole record needs to be transferred. What's the best way to do this?
So far the process I have come up with is:
Choose the person you wish to export from the source database
Run 7 queries to export the records from the various tables e.g. to Excel
Create linked tables in the target database to pick up these records
Run import queries.
I set up a macro to run the 7 export queries, using the "OutputTo" action and specifying .xls for the output format. But the files created don't appear to be readable by Access. In Explorer, they only have the Windows icon and are just "files".
Does anyone know a better way to tackle this problem?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Pat.

I'm creating a training database. Individuals carry out their training and I enter their training regime in three fields - year 1, year 2 and year 3. For example, their year 1 training is 1 august 11, year 2 is 1 august 12 and year 3 is 1 august 13. I can then run reports on who is due over the next 3 years and when.
However, I'd like to archive their past training dates. How to do this.
Say individual had following dates in their record as due dates:
Year 1 - 1 august 11
Year 2 - 1 august 12
Year 3 - 1 august 13
They carry out their year 1 training so that field would now have to change to 1 august 2014 (this training just runs and runs). Is there a way to add a command button that when clicked archives the 1 august 11 date already there to year 1 archive field and clears the year 1 field so that new date can be added. I've tried below but probably not right.
Code:
Me.txtboxYear1field = Me.txtboxyear1archivefield
textboxYear1field.Value = ""

I recently designed a new database according an old database in order to replace it. I found that I have trouble transferring the data from old to new database.
Only transferring data from one table to another
Database A: [table]![customer]
to
Database B: [table]![Client]
Field name on both are different
DatabaseA:
Table Customer:
Name,
PhoneNumber,
e-mail.
DatabaseB:
Table Client:
FullName,
HomePhone,
CellPhone,
E-mail.
How can I transfer from "Database A/table customer" to "Database B/table Client"?

I'd like to to import some large oracle tables from a remote server using "DoCmd.TransferDatabase..." on a daily basis. Currently, the system works, but my database is getting quite large (800 Mb) and I'd like to split off the tables to a back end database.
Is there a way to import directly to the back end database? The postings that I've seen seem to imply that one must first import the tables into my front end, then export them into the back end. Does that sound correct?
I'm at home right now, but will give it a try when I get to work. It just seems like there's got to be a more direct way!

I'm building a report that requires me to concatenate several fields plus additional words, etc. But not all of the fields are the same data type. I have the date formatted the way I want it in a date/time field in one table (dd mmmm yyyy), and I want to append that date into a text field in another table, maintaining the same format.
Now, when I do a normal append or update query, it appends as medium date format (dd-mmm-yy). If I change the field type in the original table from date/time to text, it also shows up in medium date format.
Any ideas on how to make this work, or other options for concatenating fields with different data types?
edit: I don't want to change the data type of the original field to text.

I am trying to export into a temp table (all text fields because it will be going into a text export later) and I'm having difficulty adding 0:00:00 onto the value of "ApptdateLast" for the update...
INSERT INTO cbt_Export_Temp ( TransactionType, ID, ApptdateLast )
SELECT "Add" AS TransactionType, "BC" & [TransId] AS ID, dbo_Info.ApptdateLast & " 0:00:00" AS ApptdateLast

Hi,
I'm developing a database to handle various aspects of quality control reporting. I've got a working structure however, i think, i have gone off the track slightly... First I'll show you part of the structure:
(please see attached .jpg)
(hope that makes sence)... so effictively I have a many to many relationship.
I have forms for each of these entities (frm_parts, frm_Suppliers). The problem i have noticed is you can assign the part a supplier in frm_Parts but it does not appear in the transaction table as a record. Is this because i have based the field "Part Supplier" (a combo box) in frm_Parts on a query? If this is not the right way to go about it. how do i go about it?!
I have an idea... on this.. If i create a new combo box on the form I can use the wizard to select the supplier ID from the Supplier table (i believe) and "store" it in the transaction table... i think! But I want the user to select the Supplier by drop down list showing Supplier Number and Supplier Name.. not the ID.
Any help is much appriciated!
Next job...
I have a form where I would like the user to be able to enter, for example, a Supplier number and see if a record of the Supplier exists yet. Next I want the user to be able, assuming the Supplier record exists, to search for a record of a Part number from that supplier. Next I want them to be able to "select" that part and be able to open a form with a new record using that part number (this form holds details of a report rasied against that part).
See what I'm getting at?
I've had a go at this but it's been a couple of years since i did any detailed work on an Access database so somethings are a bit hazy!
I'm not asking you to do this for me, but I would much appriciate some pointers on how to create this sort of thing!
Many Thanks
Rob

Hi to all,
I'm using a Access 2003 form to access a query that'll be used to generate a report. The example I'm following is found in http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ac...CL100570041033.
On my form, I have a combo box (Course ID), textbox (StartDate) and textbox (EndDate).
In my query, I'm using the values from the above 3 controls as criteria.
E.g.: In the Course_Date field in my query, I used Between [Forms]![Form_Name]![StartDate] And [Forms]![Form_Name]![EndDate] as the criteria.
If I leave the form controls blank,and click on the OK button, it'll generate a report with errors. What should I do if I want to generate a report that display all records in the report? E.g.: If I select a course in my combo box and leaves the start date & end date blank, it'll generate a report that displays all records for that particular course.
Thx!

Hi guys!
I have a front-end (FE) linked to a back-end (BE) db.
I have added a password to the BE, but the knock on effect is that the FE won't work now. Just says 'Invalid Password'.
I'm using MS Access 2002.
Any help would be appreciatted.
(The password is to prevent unwanted users from deleting data on the BE on the server)

Private Sub quicksearch_AfterUpdate()
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone
rs.FindFirst "[ID number] = " & Str(Me![quicksearch])
Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
End Sub
this is the code that im using to help me with a listbox and a search text box that is embedded on my main form. it works ok. The problem is, i was trying to link an already filled out Table with data to this interface.
When i key in information from the form it works, but when i just enter stuff through the table (which was already completed and handed to me) When I click in the listbox on the main form the code window just pops up showing this section of my code. Help./
Help.

You'll have to forgive me I kinda new at this. I have a form with a non linked subform on it. The main form has one control on it called CustomerID, the subform's record source is from a select query that is updated by a cmdButton on the main form. The cmdButton runs an update query. One of the controls in the subform is called CustomerID, this control has no other purpose than to hold the same value that the main forms control (CustomerID) has. I want the cmdButton's OnClick event to transfer the value from the mainform CustomerID and place it into the subform CustomerID. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,
This is my problem i am going to try and explain myself as clearly as possiable hopefull you will be able to understand me.
When i enter my data bank through Access, a mask opens or is it a form i am not too sure but i have sent an attachment with the sceen image.
Lets say i am looking for the data of John. I click on search and i find him. Now my Mask or form has sub forms in them for diffent information, i have made a large red circle on the attached picture to show what exactly i am talking about. These sub folders contain information such as gernerall information, bussiness information etc.
All this information ... data is part of john 's dataset or data record. SO what i want to do is take his data all of it and send it to john himself and he then can edit it and send it back to me and i want to check it and if i am satisfied with the data i can update the new information automatically into my database. and i want to beable to edit it myself too. i want all his data to be like a data book of john. The editing can take place it any problem such as Accesss itself or word or excell i just wan to be able to edit and transfer my data without damaging or loosing information.
My probles are as follows:
1) how to send john's information all of it
2) how to add it back to my database both automacticly and manuelly
3) how to edit his data as a whole, not bits and pices. as if it was one long report.
Thanks i hope i was clear enough

Evening Gents.
I've created a database which is going to need a fair amount of data uploading into it (a long laborious procedure).
My initial plan to cut the work load for one person was to create 2copies of the database and split the upload in half (get two people to do it).
However, one of my tables is a parent to around 4 childs, therefore when i copy the information from this parent table in datasheet view from one db to another, it doesnt transfer it's associated data.
Is there anyway to get around this? Any advice/tips/hints would be much appreciated
(hope this has made sense, please let me know if clarification is needed)
