This mind sound like a pretty lame question to the pro's....
Is it possible to duplicate an Access database creating a new blank database - retaining only the database/table structure? I have a website content management system and I want to duplicate the database for each new site.
Also, is it possible to reset the 'auto-numbering' to zero?
Whilst I've build a reasonably advanced web-based system based on a database containing a dozen or so relational tables plus queries, I'm no expert on advanced Access functions.
I have been married for 36 years. I really don't want a diorce, but I think I might have to in order to get access to work for me. It appears to get the best way to get D base to work with access it to get divorced and remarried, ha. We have tried several ways to get import data into access from a Dbase IV file. We have tried by a Dbase import and a text delimined file import. We get a subcript out of range. There seems to be several issues here. One of them is if you have numbers in a dbase text field, and try to import them intp access, the documentation and access says we have to put quotes around the numbers. That didnt work.
Actually, rather than going into great detail of what we have tried, let me just tell you that we cant import the file. Can anyone help? We have the folling type of filds in dbase: date fileds, text field with numbers, and numeric fileds. Please help.
:mad: Bob
P.S. I am happily married, so i would prefer not to go the marriage route with dbase.
so i had created query using query design wizard for which i i needed to enter year of the data everytime the query is being made all my data are correct when just using the query.however when i turning it into report where the query will still be runing and with adding in another field from my original table to get on the montly rearrangement that's where the some record are shown duplicate on the report
Hi!! I am creating a dbase which can be accessed through a lan Would like to know whether it is possible to have a chat window EMBEDDED into the dbase; whereby multiple users can chat and modify database accordingly.... Prob simple, but the access help doesnt offer much support
Your efforts will be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Can u just create a small sample for the same??
I'm trying to develop a database for an organisation for their partners....see attached. I would like you to take a look and tell me if what I've done is the right thing. Secondly, (I'm just learning Access) I would like to have a query that give a count of 3 how many CBOs, how many NGOs; by 8 (location). Third. Is it possible to have (sub) grouped into expertise?
The mission and vision field was a multiple answers field, is this the way?
I need to export ms access table to dbase III format. When I use export something is missing and the file format is just not good.When I try to open dbf file with program Dbase I get message "not a dbase database". I find out that excel do the same, so if anybody know how to export to dbase III using ms access or ms excel please help.Ms access help is to install borland database, I downloaded some from Internet but I don't know what to do with it. PS: Even when I import dbase III file and try to export it back there is a problem. Please, please help.
First I was thinking to write a little app in Access to work with a DBF file, that I assumed was a DBIII database. It was exported via a 3rd party software, and the primary interface up until this point has been Visual FoxPro. My problem is two fold: 1st: When I tried to import it as a dBase III file, Access just closed. I mean, disappeared, no longer running, closed. I didn't even get an error message or anything. So I tried to import via ODBC, using a "Machine Data Source" Microsoft Visual FoxPro Database (or table, either works) and selected the directory of the dbf file and selected the table listed once it scaned the directory and all imported fine.
So: If the Visual FoxPro Machine Data source worked, though I am confused why the DBIII driver just booted me, I am now concerned as to how I would write a connection string via DAO to access that dbf file at run time.
Basically I want to go to a static location on a network and access a dbf file, and perform query manipulations upon it. My connection will be READ ONLY to the actual DBF file and i would subsequently use MS Access to create any other relevant tables/queries based on the table in the dbf file. Since the Visual FoxPro MDS diver worked, do I need to write a connection string to access it, and if so, how would I do that?
I'm trying to create a little dbase for personal keeping track of a number of companies I deal with, so that i store their details and also the products they distribute. In more detail, I want to have 'fixed' product categories, which will be assigned to supplier, and each category will include the product models I have set, including their details (such as price, manufacturer, country of origin, etc).
My point is to be able to create several customised reports and listing: 1. All product models I have in a category including their details. 2. Report per supplier to view their details and the products they distribute 3. Certain product models in a list with their local distributor (companies I deal with).
I assume it involves a couple of many2many relationships, however I have created a file in MS Access but never managed to have it work properly.
I've searched the forum for a sample code on how to automatically shutdown database at a given time of the day, but i can't find any. There are lots of codes pertaining to inactivity / idle users but none on scheduled time.
My idea is to kick-off all users every 12:00nn, Monday to Saturday and then compact / backup database after.
I am working on a database that requires a user (with very little access knowledge) to export a table into .dbf (DBase IV Format) using a button and VBA.
I realize this can be done by right clicking on a table and click export. However I did not give the end user access to the tables (being a good DB Developer!) and also I don't believe I can teach this particular user how to do the steps to accomplish this.
The scenario: Third party software needs (SwissSys, which is a chess software) to grab information about players and ratings from a .dbf file (and will not work with access). I have developed a database for the association so that they can edit players information, and update the ratings directly off the website (www.chess.ca) and it automatically updates in the database.
The idea is, the Access Database updates the ratings from the website, and then the user exports that data into the dbf file (players table) that is directly linked to the third party software.
I am looking for a way to use VBA code to either 1. Create/Overwrite the existing dbf file when exporting the tblPlayers, or 2. Append/Update the current dbf file with the updated ratings, and creating new entries when necessary when exporting the tblPlayers.
Unfortunately I have had little success in finding code to export to a dbf file, anyone have any ideas?
I am trying to replicate a database for mobile working. When I attempt to 'create a replica' I get this error:
"MS Access can't convert to design master Cannot make the Table "[TableNameHere]" object in tables container replicable."
The table in question is fairly large and has 248 columns and is linked to 3 other tables of similar size as well as 3 smaller ones. Got about 2000 or so records and set to cascade deleted and updated records. 248 columns should leave enough spare columns for replication though, shouldn't it?
Any suggestions as to what I should look for to fix this?
Hi everyone I am just about to start a database project for the company. The last one I wrote was over 10 years ago in Borland's ObjectPAL and has served us well.
After doing quite some research I have decided (well... almost) to use Access as the basis for the new project as I need the most efficient and 'slick' solution in the speediest time-frame (don't we all!).
The downloadable Templates from MS seem actually quite good as a starting point, but we would need to 'glue' them together to prevent replication of clients, prospects, employees etc.
Has anyone had any success with doing this? For example, we would need to integrate Marketing Projects; Customer Service; Sales Pipleine plus our own custome stuff besides modifying these standard templates.
Hi I've just signed up to the forum. I'm currently working on a booking system, where clients can make appointments. However as I am fairly new to access, I would like to know how I can inforce some sort of validation where for example if a client makes an appointment on 17/02/08, then it checks to see if there are any current appointments of theirs on the day, if there is, then an error message would occur
I have a medical database (Access 2003) containing information about patients. There is 1 form that is used to enter the information and a check box to say whether the patient has cancer.
I run a simple query to select the cancer patients.
I want to be able to add a large amount of information about (only) the cancer patients through a separate form. I also want a neighbouring hospital to be able to add cancer patients.
The ideal solution (I think) is to create an extra table to contain the extra information for cancer patients, and some of the informationfrom the original table. Cancer patients need to be automatically added to the cancer table once the "cancer" box is checked.
So far I have not ben able to achieve this - a create table query does not update automatically. I have tried creating a new table with the cancer information and creating a relationship between the tables and basing the form on the cancer table and a select cancer query. This does not work either.
Please can anyone suggest a solution! Do I need another database?
I am trying to sum values of duplicate data in a table using Make Table query. Can anyone help? I have attached a sample of the data. At the end of the day, the objective is to have a single line with the total of the multiple lines.
Anyone has experience for barcode. Example, if you scan the first time then it will appear total 1 and if you scan again with the same barcode, then the total will change to 2 ...etc.
I have inherited a 5 table database which is associated with membership details and all tables are linked via the membership number which appears in every table..eg Main Register membernumber, surname, forename, age etc etc etc Home address membernumber, address1, address2, address3, postcode Business address membernumber, company name, address1, address2,etc etc etc Subscription membernumber, grade, subscription, bank account, etc etc Training membernumber, college, results, etc etc
I am informed that it is bad practice to have duplicate data in multiple tables (ie. membernumber field) as updating the data item would be difficult (eg. if the members number needed to be changed for any reason). If this is the case how would I restructure the tables but maintain the link through the membernumber?
I am fairly new to Access....as you can no doubt tell.
I have got a table that has following fields display on a form:
ClassNo Class Date ClassType ExecutionDate Order Quantity
The Table CLASSES has got many records which are duplicate. Mostly ClassNo is duplicated. I could have stopped duplication by restricting table not to accept duplicate values, but my requirement is such that i dont want to stop the table from accepting duplicate values. When i display the same table data on the form, all the duplicate entries are displayed.
All i need is to find a way to stop the FORM showing duplicate ClassNo Field. The Duplication restriction i wish to set only on ClassNo. If there are more than one ClassNo reptition than it should show that entry only once. For example the form looks like this:
ClassNo Class Date ClassType ExecutionDate Order Quantity 1 12-12-2006 A 12-01-2007 Ok 10 1 1 1 1 1 2 20-10-2006 A 20-11-2006 Ok 100 2 2 2 2
I wish to see the form this way:
ClassNo Class Date ClassType ExecutionDate Order Quantity 1 12-12-2006 A 12-01-2007 Ok 10 2 20-10-2006 A 20-11-2006 Ok 100

Sorry i am posting it second time coz i got no response from any one, Hope this time some one genius might surface to help me.
I have a database that allows multiple entrys of the same information. I also have a report based on a query that pulls out said data.
I just need my query to pull out every record regardless if it is indentical to a previous one. I found under queries > design > properties there are two options unique values and unique records. According to a source online, these are what control allowing duplicates through, but I have swapped them around with no luck. Currently they are both set to "no".
Is there some other setting I have to switch up in order to allow the duplicates to come through?
I have a form that contains 5 fields and want to ensure that duplicate information is not entered. I am aware that when creating the form you can set Duplicate Records to No but each record has an AutoID which I assume means that even if the information is the same it will not register as a duplicate record due to the different AutoID.
There should only ever be 5 records entered per day. One for each region
I have created a Sanity Check that is displayed as a sub form that shows if the relevant information has been entered for a given day in Bookings and Backlog but this doesn't stop the user from putting in the same information twice. i.e. the User starts inputting the information gets called away and then trys to put it in again but doesn't check the sub form.
The Table in which the information is stored is called Bookings and Backlog.
The 5 fields on the form which is called Bookings and backlog are
ID (Autonumber) Date (Short Date) Combo26 (Text) (5 Regions:- North, South, East, West, Central) Bookings (Number) Backlog (Number)
I have put the following statement in AfterUpdate on the Combo26 field
If Me.Date = DLookup("[Bookings and backlog]![Date]", "[Bookings and backlog]", "[Bookings and backlog]![Date]=[Date]") And Me.Region = DLookup("[Bookings and backlog]![Region]", "[Bookings and backlog]", "[Bookings and backlog]![Region]=[Combo26]") Then 'Define Message Box MsgBox "The Region you have chosen already has data entered for this day." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Please check your records and amend were neccessary.", vbCritical, "USER INPUT ERROR" Else End If
However I'm not to hot with writing VBA and probably got something wrong somewhere as it doesn't seem to do anything and lets the user progress regardless. I have tried amending the above script and asked it to look at just one field but this just seems to give the message regardless of the information selected in the Combo box.
Can someone give me an indication as to what I have done wrong so I can put it right and in a language that is easy to understand so that if I have a similar issue later on I don't need to post another question.
I have searched through the whole posts but could not find my query. I have a question related to prevent duplicate data entry in a form field.
I have a Form with 5 fileds on it: SNO, NAME, ROLL NO, CLASS, SECTION.
in the table design i have set the option of NO DUPLICATES on SNO(Autonumber) ROLL NO (text).
I wish to stop a user entering duplicate data in ROLL NO field before he reaches at the last field. What i meant is as soon as a user enters data in ROLL No field, it should check in table if the same data is already there. If the same data is found then it should give a message to prompt user of duplicate data, else it should continue to next field.
I have searched the whole forum but in vain. I am positive that there must be some one who holds the key to this solution.
Hi all: I currently have a database with a list of clients, and it is to be accessible to others to enter information on clients and to add new ones. However, I want to make it so that the user who wants to add a client can easily search the database for that particular client so that they won't enter a duplicate.
I have created a search function on my form, but then it occurred to me: what if there are two people with the same last name's? At first, I wanted a search operation to display a list of client names, along with their respective ID numbers and possibly a link next to each that would take the user to the corresponding record.
However, I have no idea how to do this, and I'm unsure as to whether or not this is the best way to tackle the problem. Please, someone show me the way!
I have a database where a user imports data into a table monthly. She saves the Excel file and then clicks a button in Access to import the data. My instructions say to only click that button once, but so far, she has clicked it THREE TIMES, thus importing the data three times. How can I prevent this? Here is a copy of my import code:
