Hi,
I want to create a delete query that uses information stored in an external excel file. This file is constantly being updated so it isn't ideal to keep loading it into the access database. I need to use the excel file to remove any records appearing in my access table that are matching with the excel file. Make sense? Can anyone out there help - it this at all possible? Thanks,
I have a database sitting on my server for which individual users login to over the network with their own User name and password.
Within my database there are links to data from external sources (SQL based).
My query is, if the database remains open at all times, once the link to the data has been established after keying the SQL database password, how do I stop it from asking each user that logs in to enter the password again each time they dip into the database? (If Possible).
(Access 97 by the way)
Thanks :confused:
Dear Forum,
I have a question and I would be very happy if you could help me with some thoughts on how to start.
I have a database, which contains one table tbX, which ist interesting in this context. tbX needs to be updated on a regular basis, hence it would be very helpful to automate this process.
Source is the table tbY, which is located in another database in a different directory. What I am looking for is basically a query (or do I need a macro?), which deletes tbX, imports tbY and changes its name to tbX.
As there is no macro recorder like in Excel I find it very difficult to find a start here... :confused:
I'd be happy for any suggestion.
Thank you.

I'm in the process of importing an excel spread sheet from an external source (SharePoint).
I have the link for the file and have edited it from the Https:// to projectspace. intranet.sharpoint etc etc.
The problem I'm having is before importing the data into a new table in my current db I get an error
"The File "projectspace.intranetetc etc" does not exist.
I am using IE8 and the version of Access is 2007.
I have a table and a simple query that pulls results from the table. Nothing too crazy. But, if I were to go in and change some of the data/values in the query results it will change the respective data in the table. I know that this cannot be right. What do I have to do to either prevent the ability to change query results and/or prevent any changes in the query from altering the original data in the table.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a database which among other things records how jobs are received i.e.: Telephone, Email, Mail, Facsimile or Web.For each client I want to identify the percentages of each method of receipt against the total of jobs received and during different time periods.I have created a make table query for all jobs received between variable dates for a client entry of the name of the client and the start and finish dates are required to run the query.
I have a crosstab query set up to count each method of receipt and a final query to work out the percentages using the total from the crosstab query fields divided by the total of all methods.I have a macro set up to replace the table with new data when I want the stats for a different client between new dates, therefore the different methods of receipt may vary for the less active clients i.e.: they may only have telephone and email .
My problem is if I choose a client where we have not received a job by a particular method (say web or facsimile), the last query working out the percentages has fixed names to cover each method but naturally produces an error when it cannot find a corresponding method of receipt. I have experimented with NZ() without success.My question is can I either have preset standard names of the column field in a crosstab query? Alternatively in the query calculating the percentages, can I include code to ignore a non-existent field in the crosstab query.
Hi,
I have two Tables TA and TB. I have a set of queries based on TA. I want to substitute TB for TA (i.e. TB will stand in place of TA). I want the old TA queries remain unchanged but now be based on TB.
If I delete TA and then rename TB into TA, I will lose the queries. Therefore I want to 'point' the queries (in the most efficient way) to TB instead of to TA.
Then I can delete TA. Then I can rename TB into TA and the queries will follow along, I expect.
I have been trying in vain to find a way of pointing the queries to TA instead of TB? How do I do it?
I have done it with Forms (Design Views, Properties), where I can select a datasource. But where is the corresponding thing enabling me to select a datasource for Queries?
Thanks.

I am trying to add a query in an existing form. When I click on adding a field, I get an option to show "all tables" for not queries.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am wondering if there is a quicker way to export a query to excel then have the data in that query removed from the original table. (effectively cutting the data from the table and exporting to excel)
I understand that this can be done by exporting the query to excel then running the same query as a delete query to remove the data but I just wondered if this is the most efficient way.
I have experience of VB in excel but currently only use the basic macro builder in Access though if Access VB is more efficient I can easily learn.
I have a Query which can pull data to a form, then the form will evaluate the ID, after saving/recording, I need to delete the evaluated data on the query.
My problem is how can i delete it? There is Table1 for outputing the evaluation, Query1 where the evaluation can get the Data.
Process Flow:
> Form pulls data from Query1
> Evaluation was saved on Table1
> Evaluated ID should also be removed on Query1
I have a program that uses Access 97 as a backbone. When I open Access to get external data my only options are

Any help??
Thanks in advance
I have 2 tables both which I need to import data into. I have 2 xls spreadsheets per day and I need to import all the data and build it up over a period of time so that I can use the database to analyse the data. There are around 2000 records per file but I can't seem to import the data unless I select the option to create a new table each time or unless I copy and paste the data. I need to be able to timport one after the other into the same table but I keep getting an error message just saying an error occurred file not imported.
How can I import this data??

I have a database that needs data to be reentered every school term, at the moment i am having to delete selected data fields manually. im looking to create a query so that the data is deleted by running it. The data would be returned to a blank field. I have tried using a delete query but it is asking for the selected table, even though a selected table exists. Using the update query i am faced with updating the query to a typed word however i just want it blank.

Im having a real problem. Im trying to import a query into Excel so a fancy graph can be made.
In Excel when I go to Data-> Import External Data then connect to my Database. A list of queries and tables appear however the query I want is not in the list but it definately exists in Access why is this??
Really Frustrating

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

I'm trying to import about 18 excel spreadsheets into one database in Access. I've been using "get external data" to import the spreadsheets as tables, and the first 8 of them worked fine, but now I cannot import any more excel files. The only error message I'm getting is "An error occurred trying to import file 'C:....xls' The file was not imported." And this error pops up after I have gone through all of the importing steps. Did I exhaust Access's resources? It's not a format issue, and I've restarted, etc. I'm at a loss.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have a Table1 served by Form1..It is a list of: UnqID, process, quantity, totaltime(in seconds).I want to click on a record to bring up a filtered Form2 with the chosen record on it.What I want to be able to do is to now split the quantity (and the time) and put these new records back into Table1 and delete the original record
EG
ID1,10,write a report,2400
I want to delete this and replace it with two (or three/four etc) replacements, but still adding up to 10 quantity and 2400 seconds so that the new data could be:
ID2,5,write a report,1200
ID3,5,write a report,1200
My initial thoughts are to create a holding table to:Append filtered data on Form2 to a holding Table1hld (i don't know how to do this) delete data in Table1.then enter the new quantities into a holding Table2 (that I will input myself) and then append (through a series of queries back into Table1).The first problem is how to append (and subsequently delete) the filtered record from Form2 to Table1hld.
Hi all
I just to know what the command or code is to generate the External data wizard is ?
I want to import a spreadsheet, the thing this there will be a new spreadsheet everyday with a different name. I guess the easiest way is for the user to select the file themselves. instead of the user going to file, get external data, i thought i could add the code to invoke this wizard on a button.
Thanks in advance

Thanks in advance
I have a table that needs to be refreshed with new data monthly. The table has extensive relationship links to other tables. The new data comes to me in a spreadsheet.
I am tying to import the data from the spreadsheet into this existing access table, but errors halt the import. The fields in the spreadsheet are the exact same as in the access table. I am trying to accomplish this task with the Get External Data, Import wizard.
The strange thing is I can import the excel data into a new table without any problems. I then override the old table with the newly created one. The problem with is I have to severe all the relationships before doing so which is a real pain and a cumbersome process
If you can offer any advice, it would really help out
I am asking my users to interact with the Get External Data dialog, and I'm trying to restrict what they can do.
Code:
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdImportAttachText
I really like the mapping feature Access uses so I want to use that part of the Wizard, but I don't want my users to import data to the wrong table.Can I skip the first page of the 'Get External Data' Dialog series? Invoke the 'Import Text Wizard' without the previous dialog?see: AWF2. I can get the file path from a File Picker dialog.
Can I set the combobox to a default selection?
I have a front-end/back-end database that another programmer has done some work on for me. He worked on his own copy which wasn't linked to our data. Now I'm ready to integrate his work. What I would like to do is take his improved front-end and link it to the existing back-end tables. All the table names are the same, and none of the fields have changed. Is there an easy way to do this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a database that contains a series of tables & queries that feed a formatted Excel sheet(s). The problem is it is not very portable.
It works fine on my local computer, but if I give the database to someone else and when the open the Excel template and try to refresh the data from the database they get an error "could not find file C:documents and settingsusername...
If I make a file for them off of documents and settings with my username and put the database in it, it works fine.
So I guess the question is, how do I change the path in Excel to reference the users computer without re-doing all the external queries?
