May 22, 2007
i'm trying to drop importerror tables with code, but this isn't working
i am not sure if its to do with unusual characters in the import errors tables ( error tables generated by access when importing spreadsheets etc
any ideas why the code fails
error 3295 - syntax error
'drop errors tables first
tdfdrop = 0
For Each tdf In CurrentDb.TableDefs
If InStr(1, tdf.Name, "ImportErrors") > 0 Then
tdfdrop = tdfdrop + 1
sqlstrg = "drop table " & tdf.Name
DoCmd.RunSQL sqlstrg
End If
Next tdf
If tdfdrop > 1 Then Call MsgBox("Dropped: " & tdfdrop & " importerror tables")

I have a number of linked tables that vary depending on use. How to delete them or drop them all from the database? I produced/stole some code that deleted all tables - but it didn't delete the linked ones.

I had a database that wasn't normalised but after some (a lot of) help here it now is. I have quite a few records that need to come accross to the new database and I was wondering:
I can drop the NAME/JOB_TITLE/BASE information in OK but can I place the trainig done for each staff member in? I was thinking that if I dropped the details in the TRAINING_DONE table and manually entered the STAFF_NO which is the primary key, would that work?
Thanks.

I working on a Project in which I have a table that is being updated from the values in another table. The problem that the table is deleted and rebuilt in code before the Query is executed. Access is so smart, it drops the links between the tables when the table is deleted even if the query isn't open.
To get around this, I recreate the SQL in Code for the Named Query involved just before I execute it. This works OK but probably creates bloat and is a little slower.
Is there a better way around this problem other than recreating the SQL for the Update Query each time?
Thanks for all meaningful suggestions. :cool:

Ok here is my question. I have two column that I am trying to merge. The first column I have set to be two digits. The second column is set to be three digits. The problem is if the first digit in the second column is a 0 it gets dropped once the two columns are merged. How do I stop this from happening. I need the merged columns to be 5 digits.
Thanks,

I'm able to pull users that are logged into our network but our company uses a name that has their employee number as well. So deponding on when they were hired it could be a 5 or 6 digit number. so an example would be JSmith123456 or it could be JSmith12345 so is there a way to drop the numbers at the end? Meaning if they are entering data into a form that pulls their name can I drop off those last digits in the name field?

I am having an issue with an Access import. It worked correctly bringing in a sharepoint spreadsheet until a date field was added to the spreadsheet and the structure to the database. Now it drops any additional fields that are added. At first I thought if I added a filler field after the field I needed that it would still drop the last field but it dropped them both. If I insert the field in the middle of the spreadsheet....(where I really want it). It drops the last field of the email address. Which I need to send out notifications. I have tried designing a complete new table and importing it, but it continues to do the same thing.
Not sure if my problem is with the spreadsheet or Access. Somehow it is still looking at the old structure when I import even if I create a new table. Not sure what is happening.

I have created some queries that are joined on long text fields (80-120 characters). I can save the query in the graphic query design window. But when I reopen the window I get messages that the Joins have been deleted. I cannot find any references to this issue. Does anyone have experience or info on this?
I don't need a lecture about the use of long text fields in Query Joins. And yes I have used Search first.
Thanks for your help.

I'm trying to create a report that pulls from two tables [tblTelephony] and [tblSales]. All data in my query is limited to a date range entered through a form.
For every record in [tblSales] (showing the agent made a sale) there is a record in [tblTelephony] (showing all the stats for the agent's day worked). [tblTelephony] has one date for each record. [tblSales] has two dates for each record. The sales dates are the date the services were ordered (matches the date worked in [tblTelephony]) and the date the services were installed.
In order to get an agent's MTD Sales stats I have to query the date range on Install dates. MTD Telephony stats are run on the same date range on telephony date. Where I run into an issue is with the sales that are ordered before the date range in question and installed during it.
I've run a separate query to sum the sales installed during the date range and used that sales value in my Telephony query. In order to get my data to show as accurately as possible, I had to create a relationship between the Order Date and the Telephony date. I'm really hoping to find a way to force the sum of sales in sales query to show in the sales column in the telephony query, regardless of the telephony date range and without adding telephony data for dates outside the range.
Example:
Date Range = 2/1/14 - 2/24/14
Telephony Date = 2/3/14
Order Date = 2/3/14
Install Date = 2/14/14
Appears on report
Date Range = 2/1/14 - 2/24/14
Telephony Date = 1/31/14
Order Date = 1/31/14
Install Date = 2/3/14
Does not appear on report
How to get the sale example on the bottom to show without removing the relationship?

Currently trying to build a database for customer management and order placement/tracking. Want to set a couple of rules so that if I for instance click yes of billing and shipping address the same that the database will automatically fill the shipping address with the data I inputted for the billing address in the same table.
The other issue I can see I'll run into is, I want to be able to select one of the company ID's (made up of a three letter abbreviation of the full company name) in the product ordering table and it will automatically fill in the rest of the customer data (phone, email, address etc) data into that form.

What I have is a database setup with multiple tables in which different areas of my DC can input information simultaneously into their respective tables. I then have another database linked to it for myself to have a live view of each updated record. I would like to see all the records of each table in 1 single table (possibly just sorted ascending by time). Each table has the same Field headings but may have different qtys of records. As I will then have it linked to an Excel table to VLOOKUP from it.
I have tried Union coding but always get Syntax Error etc.

I have 2 identical database in terms of structure but it differs in data.
Basically I would like to import data from subDatabase to mainDatabase and ensuring that there are no duplicate records.
I have used the "link to datasource method" through importing the tables to have the "updating" function.
However, this method also means that the records in mainDatabase are also imported over to subDatabase which I do not want.
Is there a method to ensure that the records are shared/update one way only? (i.e. import from subDatabase to mainDatabase and not main to sub?)

I'm using the MS Access 2010 ExportwithFormating action to export three tables to a single MS Excel 2010 workbook. The action overwrites the first excel worksheet each time instead of saving all three worksheets in a single excel workbook.
How can I export three tables into a single excel workbook.

I have created a table that acts as a header for my data and a second table that acts as line item data. What I need to do now is add a second child table that uses the line item data as its parent table and stores associated line items for each record. Is this possible?
This is a skeleton view of what I'm going for:
Master Table:
tlbAuditReportHeader
- AuditDate
- AuditArea
- Auditor
Sub Table:
tblDiscrepancy
- Discrepancy
- CorrectiveAction
- ActualCompletionDate
- VerifiedDate
- Notes
Sub table to Sub Table
tblFollowUp
- FollowUpDate
- AssignedTo
- SpokeWith
- EstimatedCompletionDate
- Notes
Sometimes tasks change hands or are pushed back depending on work load. It would be nice to be able to track something like this.

I am using calculated field as a data type in access 2010.
They are working fine.
However, I added a new field and now the final calc won't work.
I have Subtotal adding loads of fields together. Works fine.
Then I have a VATunit field which is a double integer, so enter 20 and my next field is VATTotal calculates the SubTotal + the VATunit by doing (Subtotal/100)*VATunit. This calculation is fine and gives me the correct amount.
The next field is a Total field. Which adds Subtotal and the VATTotal together. Howver, the Total is the same as Subtotal. It is not adding the VATTotal to it?

I have some experience doing 'Update Query' using two different tables but I'm having a hard time doing an 'Update Query' using 3 tables.
I have my source table TP05XY with the fields 'Mark' 'Date' 'UTM_Edig' and 'UTM_Ndig'. Mark and Date are my primary keys (they together uniquely ID each record). I have my Observations table with the fields 'Mark' 'Date' and 'Obs_ID'. The last table is Locations with 'Obs_ID' 'UTM_E' and 'UTM_N'.
I want to update my fields UTM_E and UTM_N from UTM_Edig and UTM_Ndig. However, to do so, I have to go from my TP05XY table, through Observations table to update Locations table. Table TP05XY is joined to Observations through 'Mark' and 'Date' and Observations table is linked to Locations through 'Obs_ID' field.
I have tried a few options without success ... anyone knows how to do it?
Thanks,
Josée

I have being playing with ms access but I really don't know much about it or databases in general.I have created a very simple database to gather twitter following/followers data for research purposes.One table (table01) has a field for the "boss" user (=the user who I gather data for), another field for "client" (=bosses followers or friends).Both fields are numeric and contain the users id's.In order to distinguish if the link is follower or friend there is a third field, called type which can be either 1 (=follower) or 2 (=friend).So the data would look like this:
boss - client - type
12345, 67890, 1
12345, 54321, 2
If user with user id 12345 had a follower (type 1) with user id 67890 and a friend with user id 54321...In order to avoid getting duplicate rows I also added a unique identifier which is of the form boss_id-user_id-type.So the above row looks like this:
12345-67890-1, 12345, 67890, 1
12345-54321-2, 12345, 54321, 2
That works just fine.For several reasons I also needed data of the form source - target.So I also made another table (table02) of this form.
67890, 12345
12345, 54321
...
In table 2 you don't need the "type" field since the position of the user id shows the type of relationship.Still, you need a unique identifier in order to avoid duplicates, so I added on with the form: source_id-client_id..So table02 lookes like this
67890-12345, 67890, 12345
12345-54321, 12345, 54321
...
Both tables also have a date/time stamp for each line.As you can see, table01, having also a type field is bigger than table02.The problem is when I try to append data, exactly the same data in both tables.Appending data to table01 is ok, while appending data to table02 (which is smaller, having one less field) takes a really long time, maybe 10 times as long as appending data to table01.To make sure that no query's are causing the problem I have tried first creating temporary tables with the data to be appended, no duplicates, nothing that would cause the database to make extra calculations and used a simple update query with no filters to append data.Still I get the same result, table02 takes a very long time to finish while table01 finishes in no time.

I am currently using Microsoft Access 2010 32bit, and have one database acting as parent, with a second linked database as a client for people to work with, and the parent database has tables imported from Sage V21 via ODBC. I have used the following code as specified in other examples as follows:
Code:
DoCmd.TransferDatabase acImport, "ODBC Database", "ODBC;DSN=MyDNSMachineName;UID=MyUID;PWD=MyPassword;LANGUAGE=us_english;" & "DATABASE=pubs", acTable, "INVOICE", "INVOICE"
one of the tables has 10k records in it, it only transfers 77 records. After manually attempting an import via the ODBC wizard it finally lets me access all 10k records.I wish to have a single button click delete and import fresh tables without worrying if all the data is coming across.Also, when manually adding a table, I am usually asked by the wizard to specify an index, but with the code above, I am not offered that option and the tables come across with no index. I am led to believe that having tables that link to each other without an index is bad, so how do I ensure an index is created?

I have two tables of data, each relating to three business branches (branches A, B and C).
Table 1 shows the expenditure of each branch (by fuel, premises and wages).
Table 2 shows a number of units for each branch (mileage, floorspace and sales).
What I would like to do is calculate unit costs, based on the expenditure in Table 1, divided by a relevant unit in Table 2. The catch is that I want to have a third table which allows the user to specify which expenditure (from Table 1) is combined with which unit (from Table 2) to generate the calculated unit costs. I've been able to do this in Excel, and have attached an example. I've also attached an incomplete Access version with the first two tables. Given the complexity of my actual data, I feel this could be better handled in Access than Excel.

I have an Access Table with about 28,000 Automobile dealerships across the country shown. I've joined a new/small phone contact table to this to keep up with our phone contacts with the dealership and followup efforts. When I search/filter on the dealership table all is fine. However when I search/filter on the phone contact table with a few test entries, I get nothing at all. I supposed that after joining the tables, I'd be able to do a search on the field named follow up date and find/filter today's date or other dates and locate which dealerships to contact when the correct date arrives. But nothing.

I have 3 tables.
Table 1: contains staff names and contact numbers
Table 2: contains training above staff have been on or need to go on
Table 3: contains pc and printer asset numbers of above staff
I used a form and entered some new members of staff in table 1. They got their auto numbers etc but when I open table 2 and table 3 those new members are not showing up in those tables. I have checked the relationship status between the 3 tables and the staffID from Table 1 is associated to table 2 and to table 3.
What's stopping the new entries from showing up in tables 2 and 3 ?

I am splitting a database and have created the Back end already. When I create the front end and link to the tables on the back end... The front end does not link to all the tables in the back end. The list that comes up when creating the linkings does not show all the tables in the back end. What would cause this?

I am working on a database which has two tables used as part of a registration and login process.
I would like a couple of fields from table one to automatically update in table two, once the fields in table one are populated without using an 'on click' event.
The reason I would prefer not to use an onclick is because the completion of the form used to generate the users table does not require any buttons for the data to save.
