Is there a way to write the properties of a table out to a text file or excel sheet?
I'd like to be able to get the Field Name, Data Type, Field Size, and format for each field in my table.
Thanks,

I am trying to take the content of two fields from one table and dump them into the other table, I created an Append Query pulling up just the main table and appending to the destination table but it doesn't copy the info when I run it. I also pulled in both the tables (and yes they are joined) doing the same as above and still it doesn't do anything when I run it.

The fields in both items are the same. Now, how do I copy/dump/inject (what's the correct term?) the data from the recordset into the table?
Hi, I would like to change the properties of either the column heads in a combo-box or the column names for tables. I don't think there's any way to adjust the column head properties, and I'm doubtful there's a way to change the column caption properties.
Some of my column titles are long, and I'd like to be able to word wrap them essentially. Anyone know if this is possible? Thanks.
Can anyone tell me a sample code on how to write/develope the Advance file properties like....
File version
Description
Internal Name
Product name
I have seen different types of files properties some has additional features while some has none - its just click once on any file and then click the right hand side mouse button and select the properties that will display all the information about the files click on second tab version (if there) will tell you the additional info about the file.
I have a list of files which contain the full path of the file (dir & filename), how can I get the extended properties for these files?
I try to use the script
Dim arrHeaders(35)
dim sFolder as string
sfolder = "C:Scripts"
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace(sfolder ) 'objFolder = nothing even after the object is set.
It does work; however, if I were to hard-code the path in the NameSpace("c:Scripts")
For i = 0 to 34
arrHeaders(i) = objFolder.GetDetailsOf(objFolder.Items, i)Next
For Each strFileName in objFolder.Items
For i = 0 to 34
msgbox objFolder.GetDetailsOf(strFileName, i)
Next
Next
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks.
Hi Guys,
Does anyone know how i can get an excel file properties from Access. Thanks.
Hi Guys,
Does anyone know how i can get an excel file properties from Access. Thanks.
I have a lookup form that is basically one combo box that holds my user names (Combo0). I need to use the afterupdate event to open my form (frm_tc1) and filter that users records. If no records are found I need it to prompt me to add a record. If yes is selected I need it to open frm_tc1 in add format, and if no is selected I need it to go back to the switchboard menu.
Here is the code that I have so far:
Private Sub Combo0_AfterUpdate()
'On Error GoTo Err_combo0
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
Me![Combo0].SetFocus
DoCmd.FindRecord Me![Combo0], , True, , True
If MsgBox("User Record Not Found. Do you want to add a new record?", 4) = 6 Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_tc1", acViewNormal, , , acFormAdd, acWindowNormal
Else
DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_tc1"
End If
End Sub
What am I missing? It is always prompting me to enter a new record, even if there is already one in the db.
Thanks,
Chuck
Ive got 4 tables with on field name MO_ID that is formatted as a number. I then have a make table/append query that takes these 4 tables and puts them all into one table. At this step, I need to convert the field MO_ID to being a text field so that I can use an update query to change some special scan codes into word equivalents. For example, 100066 is getting updated to "Admin".
The simple solution would seem to be to change the the original 4 table fields to a text, but that wont work in this case. I have several other queries that need to have relational properties with other tables that comparing numbers to numbers so that wont work.
Is there a way to make that field change to a text field? But only when I run a certain query and only in that one table?
:rolleyes: hi

Hi
I have a table that when imported from an external program (sage) has a number based property.
To achieve linkage with other tables, I have to manually change the field fom a number to text.
Is this possible to achieve programmatically.
Much appreciated on any advise.

I have a database created that imports data (stock levels) from a text file into a table and then email various suppliers with the current stock levels. The emails are all scheduled using scripts.
The weakest part of my set up is the text file, I am depending on someone remembering to run the report to create the text file, which cannot be automated.
I was thinking, if I could display the date the table was created in the report, I could add some disclaimer to make sure the created date equal report date. Is it possible to show the table properties date in a report?
Hi
I know this is probably a silly question but I had a number of checkboxes in a table and had set their default value to be 0 however I did not do this in the table properties of these fields.
I can understand some things like formatting dates in a form but storing it differently in the table but why did access not automatically input 0s in all the fields where I did not check the box?
Is there a way to gain access to the Field Properties using VBA?
I'm trying to loop thru the Tables in a database and find out the Fields that are indexed in each table.
I can loop through the table Defs to get each table name and a list of Fields but I can't seems to get to the Field Properties, namely "INDEXED".
I try to put an expression for the property "bound column" so that my lookup values will be directly dependent on one of attribute's choice
I have got four options for my attribute. Each option will use a slightly different set of lookup values. I save all four sets in another table.
Then in my properties definition I refer directly to this table as lookup base. When I put bound column number equal to an expression so as to choose the right column of lookup values it refuses. It seems that it does notl ike anything other than a numeric value.
If that's a no-go, I am not sure how to achieve what I try to do then?
Essentially I have a table that 4 attributes: QID,itemID,CatType,Catchoice
CatType can have only 4 values. Each value will make Catchoice take on a different set of combo values
The problem I am having is that I am stuck at the Catchoice lookup definition because it is dependent on what kind of CatType the user picks.
I've got the forms and queries in one .accdb file and my tables in a separate .accdb file. The forms file links to the tables in the tables file. The tables file resides in a folder called simply enough C:acc_tables and thats where i browsed to (obviously) when i set up the linkage.
One of the users does not wish (for whatever goddamn reason) to create a C:acc_tables file to stick the tables file in , and wants the tables file in some other folder.. Unfortunately this user does not have the skills to delete the existing links and re-link to the tables file after putting it in the folder he wants.
Where in the file that holds the forms and and queries do i find the path setting to the tables linked file? Can it be changed without deleting links and then re-linking?
I am making a new Record in the design view of a table (creating a new field in the table), and I am assigning it a date type, is there a hotkey that will select the field properties sheet so that I can select the format of the field without having to move my mouse?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have created a sub form and wanted to make it's background transparent and also be able to enter new data and change it on the form. I sat Data entry = Yes, but I still can't enter any data. And I can't find the Back Style property at all.
Any help how to do that will be very much appreciated.

I was doing my assignment with the table in access, and my sister came up to me and ask me “why it is important to check the properties of each field in a table before developing a form based on that table.” Can anyone help me and answer this, because I don’t know how to answer her question.:confused: :confused::confused:
View 1 Replies View RelatedAm sure this is an easy question but I'm missing something:
How in the heck are you supposed to get to the subform properties box. The only way I know is to click on the very thin border area surrounding the form and then try and right click your way to properties. There has to be an easier way. Usually I have to fight my way to the properties box as the area loses focus by the time I right click and I have to reselect and try and right click again...ARGH!
hi all,
i m referencing a control like me!<controlname> in my code.
but in 1 screen its not giving me option after me!<ctrlname>.(only value property).
but in other screen i m able to access the properties.
So what could be the reason for this.I particularly want to access the enabled property to set it dynamically.

How could I implement a feature which determines if something is at least 7 days before a booking at a theatre, but no more than 2 months. For example, something like... If =Now() - 7 Then... Elseif =Now() Then...
I don't really know how to go about it.
Hirer Date is when the booking is to be held (e.g., 12/01/2006) and Booking ID is when it was booked over the phone. (121205/M = 12/12/05 in the Morning) If someone could help me I'd appreciate it greatly. :D
Hi everybody!
Is it possible to set the properties for an access database not to confirm the changes when running an update query. I have done it under tools/properties etc. but then I make it in access in general. I want it to apply on one singel access database.
Anyone?
