Error Handling For ODBC Linked Tables

Jan 17, 2006

My tables are sybase linked tables to my Access front end. I get this error whenever i click away from my mainform while my not-null fields (textboxes) have not been entered. So, i would like to put an error message "somewhere" that tells the user to fill in the necessary fields and highlight the necessary textboxes in red, instead of this scary ODBC message
http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/6829/error0el.png :eek: :eek:

When i put my error handling in the afterUpdate or afterInsert Event. I still get the above error msg instead of my msgbox.
Where do i put this message? or should be question be, "what the proper way to handle this intimidating error? :)

Here's my error handling:

On Error GoTo Err_Form_AfterInsert

'do something


Exit_Form_AfterInsert:
Exit Sub

Err_Form_AfterInsert:
MsgBox Err.Description, vbExclamation, "Please enter the Project Name, Project Leader Initials, Main User and Status Code" & Err.Number
Me!Combo67.BackColor = "red"
Me!Combo65.BackColor = "red"
Me![Project Name].BackColor = "red"
Me![Project Leader Initials Combo].BackColor = "red"
Resume Exit_Form_AfterInsert


Thanks in advance for your help :D

Linked ODBC Tables

Nov 12, 2007

My problem is best explained by example;

In Access Database A, I have some linked ODBC tables (to an SQL Server database) and some local tables.

In Access Database B, I have a front end which links to all the tables in Access Database A.

The problem is, when I try to link the tables in B, I cannot see the ODBC tables linked in A. Is there any reason why not? 'Why not link Access Database B to the SQL Server tables directly?', you may ask. Well, there is an answer to that but it is quite difficult to explain. I assure you there is one. :p

Tables :: Automatic Refresh Of Linked Tables - ODBC Connection

Jul 22, 2015

I have linked tables from SQL Server using ODBC connection that their location never changes. I have used certain fields of those tables to create queries and make table queries to derive to the information I needed.

On these tables on SQL Server, there is new data added daily. Every day, midnight, there's new data records added of whatever transactions took place in that working day. how often do I need to refresh linked tables in this case to get the latest data added. I mean, once I am linked, the make table query using those defined fields, would it get the latest data added by default when the query is executed, or I must refresh linked tables using Linked Table Manager and then run make table query.

Also, if I want the access to automatically refresh linked tables, can I use the following code? I have added this code, and executing it through a button, but I don't see anything happen, the database becomes inactive for couple seconds (I guess while it is updating) but I don't know is it updating the tables for sure or not, though I am not receiving any error when executing the code through the button.

Function RefreshLinkedTables()
Dim tdf As TableDef
For Each tdf In CurrentDb.TableDefs
If Len(tdf.Connect) > 0 Then
tdf.RefreshLink
End If
Next td
End Function

Linked Tables And Multiple ODBC Connections

May 18, 2005

Hi!

I'll cut right down to it: I have an ODBC connection to a (SQL Server) test database on my development machine that is identical to the live database to which a (different) ODBC connection exists on the PC where this Access application is to be deployed. The problem is that when I deploy, there are some tables that have to be updates, because they still point to my test database. The other tables look like they use the default database for that user.

I used to be able to just copy the Access application and it would work without having to update any linked tables.

To clarify, the tables that work without a problem look like this in the Linked Table Manager:

t_mytable (DSN=odbc;)

And the problem tables have this:

t_mytable2 (DSN=odbc;DATABASE=my_test_db)

I don't seem to be able to clear that DATABASE= thing up. Can anybody tell me how this works?

If this question is overly trivial, I apologize.

Insert The Records Into ODBC Linked Tables

May 25, 2007

Hi,

I have a lot data to append to ODBC linked table in MS Access. I want to know that which way is faster to append the records.

if I append the data into ODBC linked table,
1) create the one query (append) to insert the records into ODBC linked table
2) use the VBA code (DAO/ADO) to insert the records into ODBC linked table

which way is rather faster?

General :: ODBC Linked Tables Losses Connection

Jun 13, 2012

Our master database has linked tables with ODBC to our SQL database and linked tables to another access database. On the computer i'm running this from a System DSN data source has been created to connect to our SQL database.

The problem I'm having is when I run Macros to kick off Queries, there seems to be some kind of timeout issue and its not consistant. Sometimes in Access after a hour or two, the ODBC links somehow just fails. I have to go up to the menu and go to 'Get External Data' and then 'Link Tables' and relink the ODBC DSN connection. I make sure to hit save password and the end but that doesn't seem to do much. This also happens sometimes when I close and reopen the database.

But it seems erratic, sometimes it can stay up for hours but sometimes just a few mins. Sometimes I can close the Access database and reopen without losing connection. Being so erratic, this makes it very hard for me to run batch files nightly to kick off Macros. Is there some kind of inactivty timer for DSNs? Or maybe with the SQL database itself? Or is the way i'm restablishing the ODBC connection wrong ?

Tables :: ODBC Linked Table Showing Only MAX Date

Jan 22, 2014

Using access 2007 (and tried 2003) I have a linked ODBC table which is using an ORACLE driver. If I query the table directly through ORACLE/SQL for a particular 'job number' I get the following results:

18598979 3 06-DEC-13 10:10
18598979 0 03-DEC-13 10:34
18598979 1 03-DEC-13 10:34
18598979 2 06-DEC-13 08:20

However when I link the table through access and view the same job number within the table (not even using a query) it displays the following:

18598979 3 06/12/2013 10:10:00
18598979 3 06/12/2013 10:10:00
18598979 3 06/12/2013 10:10:00
18598979 3 06/12/2013 10:10:00

As you can see it only displays the MAX date/time and associated data from the 4 available records, duplicating the record. I've checked the field formats and they all look fine. It does the same if I pull through the table on it's own or with other linked tables.

Linked Table Manager Doesn't Relink ODBC Tables.

Sep 15, 2006

Hello,

The scenario. Two PC's, one older than the other, both running Windows 2000 (SP4) and Office 2000 (SP3). I use Access as a front end to a MySQL database, connections are made using ODBC.
I recently altered the structure of a table and attempted to re-link the table in access using the Linked Table Manager on the new PC. All that happened was the hourglass came on and never went away. I tried to do this on the old PC and it worked fine first time.

Any ideas why I can't get it to work on my new PC? It's quite important as I won't have the old PC with me much longer :-(

Regards,

Matt.

3022 Error With Linked Tables

Mar 27, 2008

I dont use linked tables very often, and when I always seem to run into the same problem.

I have two tables. The pri table has an index key defined as an autoindex, with no duplicates. The sub-table is linked to the pri
table key in a many-to-one relationship. The linked field in the subtable is defined as a long integer non-keyed field.

All is okay, until I attemp to add a SECOND record. At that point I get a 3022 error, stating I cant do something because I am attempting to create a duplicate key.

I would love to fix it, nut I am not sure exactly what the problem is that needs to be fixed. The pri key would not SEEM to be getting duplicated, and the subtable linked field is not keyed. Hmmm, I guess I need a steer here please.

General :: Oracle Linked Tables Decimal Error

Sep 18, 2014

I have made a program in Access with linked tables from oracle (ODBC).

In access when I'm going to use that tables or when I see the records on the table all the numbers with decimals shows without separators (,).

99,99 looks like 9999.

This is a big problem because I'm working with prices.

I tried to change the NSL_Language in Regedit to:

AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1
from:
SPANISH_SPAIN.WE8MSWIN1252

AND it works ONLY in my computer, when I try to fix it and change the language doesn't work, and i don't know why.

PD: In addition, in the other PC's, some characters seems wrong like "�" that looks like a square.

Tables :: Edit Values In Linked Table Error 3021

Jul 8, 2014

I have ODBC linked tables to a DB2 database.When I try to edit the values in some of the tables (open the table in dataview and edit one record) I get a 3021 Error -No current record.On other tables (linked the same way) I don't get this error

If I try the update by running a query on the same table, I get no errors.

The system I have is a german Access 2010 on german WinXP and a connection to DB2 LUW v9.7

Is there any set of settings necessary for ODBC to work with access and vice versa?

Error Handling

Nov 23, 2006

I have recently upsized an Access database to SQL Server. The .adp is for the most part working fine.

However, when an end user tries to create a duplicate record in one of the Primary key columns of a Form he gets a SQL Server error message as follows:

"Violation of Primary Key constraint. Cannot insert duplicate key in object myTable".

This is obviously not a very useful error message. What would be the best way to ensure that a more useful error message is returned?

I have considered adding code to the "After_Update" event of the cell in question. This however seems long winded. Is there an easier option?

Thanks

Error Handling

May 12, 2005

Hi all

The following code only half works. I want to stop an ugly error occuring when primary keys are duplicated. In the following code the error handler picks up and displays a simple message when a user attempts to add duplicate values. BUT if the users adds a record, the record is successfully added followed with the same error message. I think I've put the error handler in the wrong place, but I can't figure out where it should go. Any ideas are much appreciated.

Error Handling - Enough To Put In On Error Event

Sep 24, 2005

Every form has an on error property.

Is it enough for error handling to code the on error property for each form?
With enough I mean error handling which lets you resume the program.

Ontherwise I have to code (or call a procedure) for each coded event which i wouldn't prefer

For instance now I'm putting error handling in each event but would consider it more efficient if it can be placed once in each form
Private Sub cmdReport_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdReport_Click

Dim stDocName As String

stDocName = "rptOfme"
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acPreview

Exit_cmdReport_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_cmdReport_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_cmdReport_Click

End Sub

Error Handling Problem

Aug 8, 2006

On a form i have a textbox to enter a date and multiple command buttons to open other forms.
After entering a date value, followed by either a tab or clicking on one of the command buttons, i want to validate the entered date value. If the date is invalid i want to display an error message and the cursor positioned on the textbox field.

The LostFocus event of the textbox is as follows:

Private Sub txtDateField_LostFocus()
If Not IsDate(txtDateField.Value) Then
MsgBox "Date invalid."
txtDateField.SetFocus
End If
End Sub

If entering an invalid date is followed by a tab, the error is displayed but the cursor is not positioned on the textbox field.
If entering an invalid date is followed by clicking on one of the command buttons, the error is displayed but the expected form is opened.
How to position the cursor appropriate and how to prevent opening the form?

Who helps?

Error-Handling Help Needed

Oct 25, 2006

How do you do an Access/VBE split screen? I want to be able to watch the code execute as I enter data into the form.

I have redesigned a database, essentially building a new one from scratch. I have all of the forms created and they are working beautifully. :) Now, I'm error-handling to create user-friendly messages. I have a superb Access programming book, but it only briefly mentions error handling and doesn't describe at all how to do it. Most of my forms are pretty simple, and I've been able to complete all of the error-handling tasks using the Form Error event as well as coding other events with the error message number. However, the main form is complex and includes a function in a standard code module and a custom sub routine.


TIA!

Modules & VBA :: Error Handling With Loop

Aug 6, 2015

I've got a problem with a loop for producing worksheets (reports). When everything works there's no problem but when one of the reports namely rptChemoOralWorksheet doesn't have data available to produce the report the loop finishes and then all remaining worksheets don't print.I've put in a standard error handler with MsgBox, but it's never triggered. I've also tried

Code:
On Error Resume Next

but again rather than skip the DoCmd.OpenReport "rptChemoOralWorksheet" (when the error is present) and move to the next one to continue printing through the list the loop stops and the subsequent code starts to run.

Code:
Dim mydatabase As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set mydatabase = CurrentDb
Set rst = mydatabase.OpenRecordset("atblChemoWSLoop", dbOpenDynaset)
Dim rsBN As String
Dim rsDose As Double

Saving Manually To ODBC Linked Table?

Mar 17, 2005

Hi,

I have built a form without a record source as i need to mess around with the fields before i save.

On save, i would like the form to save to an ODBC linked table in my database.

I save the record through a save button which has the following code attached to its on_Click event.

' NOTE: DAO 3.6 code
Dim db As Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset

Set db = CurrentDb
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("tblODBCLinked", dbOpenTable)
With rs
.AddNew
.Fields("Country") = Me.txtCountry
.Fields("ID") = Me.ID
.Fields("Creation Date") = Now()
.Update
End With
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing

I have no problem saving to a non-linked table with the above coding but always seems to fall over if as soon as i try to open the linked table. Ive debugged and the problem seems to be with opeing the table.

Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("tblODBCLinked", dbOpenTable)

Thanks in Advance for any suggestions

I can edit/open existing linked tables (to Sage Line 50, v12) but not create new ones.

Following the procedure:

- File Type: ODBC databases ()
Nothing now happens!

I can open the Link Table Manager to update previously created links.

Any ideas?
