Forms :: Showing Data From Linked Table And Local Table
Nov 21, 2013
I'm having trouble with a new project I'm working on. The application is mainly going to be used to display data, which comes from a linked table. It has to be a linked table (in my opinion) because it's replaced once per week from a fresh data dump. For each of those records, though, there will be notes made in a local table named "Custom-Data". My trouble is displaying a mix of information from the linked table, "Roster", and "Custom-Data" because linked tables can't be assigned a primary key.
Essentially, when a record is pulled up, a bunch of data from "Roster" will be shown in addition to the comments from "Custom-Data".
I have an MS Access accdb with linked SQL Server 2012 ODBC tables. I am working on a procedure to copy data from local tables to these linked tables (identical schema). I did a simple
Code:
DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO linkedTable SELECT * FROM localTable"
This works, but is very slow. Way too slow. (INSERT copies the data one record at a time).
I would like to copy the data in a bulk operation, or operations that I can execute programmatically.
I have a database that is designed with a front and back end, with the FE linked to the BE. Some potential customers want to play around with the database, and the easiest way for me to get them access to it would be for me to combine the FE and BE and just give them a copy of that. how to link a table, and I know how to import a table. What I'm unsure of is how to cleanly convert a linked table to a local table.
In a local DB table or a data grid view, the columns have an arrow at the top next to the name. When the arrow is clicked, all the entries in that column are displayed with check boxes. They are listed underneath the "sort" and "text filter" options. I am working on a DB project with ODBC linked tables instead of a local access table.
My linked table does not have this same functionality. It is missing the names with check boxes where I can select individual entries. I don't know the correct terminology for this functionality I am describing. That makes searching tough. What this is called and why the tables would be different.
Well, heres the situation. I have a complicated query that refuses to work all the time using a linked table for the data (data is gathered from a FoxPro DB). If I copy the data into a local table in my database then the query will run fine.
The data needs to be updated only 1/month but I don't want to have to do it manually every month. I would like to use VBA to copy and paste the data from the linked table into my local table. Does anyone know of an efficient way to do this? I'm trying to avoid running a VBA loop and adding each record one-by-one (very slow).
I have a SQL table that holds financial data. There are 12 columns labled Acct_Per01 through Acct_Per12. I need to select specific GL codes and sum the values in these columns as various groupings, Private, Commercial, Ancillary etc. for each of 14 hospitals.
How can I best create a working table where I have one record for each hospital for each fiscal period.
I want the final table structure be be like the sample below.
I have a form based on a query where I want to document the status of certain records. The original data is on a SQL server so I am linking to it in my query. I have a local table with the added fields to document my review and status. My query has both tables in it and are linked by the report number. So I have join properties to show all records from the SQL database and only the records in the local table that match. So initially the data in my local table will be blank. I want to use the form to add comments on the status. The problem is, when I type in the form fields nothing happens. It's like the query is confused and won't let the form write back to the local table.
So my question is, do I have my query set up properly so that I can read the fields from the SQL database and yet write in my comments to the local table. I am using a select query.
I am about to start working on a new project where I have a front-end in Access2000 that is linked to a ODBC Data Source (ORACLE).
There could be some performance issues in the future, when the users have to retrieve (query) the data from the ODBC over the network and it slows down. Nothing is sure yet, but when this is the problem, I will need to look at an alternative plan. I had the following in mind:
I would like to create a scheduler program, that will retrieve all the relevant data from the ODBC and update the tables that are local to each user’s Access .mdb file. Can I do something like this in VBA, or do I need to do something with the Windows Scheduler?
I have an Option Group I created (simple Yes-No) in a form that links to a Yes-No field in a table. I have the default set for this field to "Yes" in the form. The option button works when the form is first opened. If I cange the option to "No", that works. Here's the tricky part that is giving me eye twitches...
If I change the option back to "Yes", the radial button doesn't reflect the change...but it does change the table data! Why do the radial buttons stop changing? Even when I close the form and open it again, the data in the table is no longer reflected with the buttons in the form.
I am relatively new to Access 2007, I am having an issue with a sub form not showing all the data from a table.
Basically I have 2 tables: Headers and Line Details, they are linked via an order number. The headers will only ever have 1 record per order number but there can be multiple records on the line details table.
I have imported the data into both tables. When I open my main form, all the data from the header file is all visable and all correct for all records. However when I look at the data in the sub form, it is only showing data for some of the records.
I have checked and the data is correctly linked, and if I change the "source object" to point directly at the table in the sub form it shows the record is there. When I point it back to my sub form it is blank.
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:
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.
Hi, I am extracting data from linked db2 table using access make table query. First I create a select query and can view the linked db2 data, but when I change to a make table query I get an error message, "invalid argument", when I run the make table query. There is no selection critera specified. Has anyone had this happen? and Do you know a solution?
I have one DB that is used for creating/storing customer ID's, and another DB that is used for creating/storing job information for customers.I have linked the table from the customer DB to the job DB.
There is a table in the job database that holds customer name and ID, and some VBA that generates unique job codes.
Is it possible to have the data from the linked table automatically update into the existing table?
I have a form that contains the following: Combobox, (Lists BadgeNum from tblPersonnel)
2 Textboxes (LastName, FirstName) populated via code from the combobox using info from the same tblPersonnel. 2 labels (one containing Date, another containing Time) ToggleOnButton (Valueof 1) ToggleOffButton (Value of 0) Savebutton
This form is basically used as a cheap police timeclock. All Im trying to do is when a user chooses their name from the combobox, clicks ON or OFF and then save, is just write the much of the same info to a table. Specifically, BadgeNum, DateIn, TimeIn, DateOut, TimeOut.
I am trying to build a Form that will show an estimate (then eventually will be moved to a project if customer and employee aggree to price and project) in a Form F_Estimates is a M_Customers(Customer_ID) (Based on a Table) and thier info in a Subform. Also is the "projected costs" from parts out of the Parts(Part_ID) (Based on another Table) in a second Subform as a list that I need to calculate $$$ in (Dang that still sounds evil and definately NOT understandable even after edit... so)
Here's some basic info
Tables
EstimatesandParts - Table EstimatesandParts_ID : Autonumber Estimate_ID : Number Part_ID : Number
Parts - Table Part_ID : Autonumber PartNumber : Text (not a number due to some part#s have letters in them) PartName : Text Unit Price : Currency Description : Text
Estimates - Table Estimate_ID : Autonumber InvoiceNumber : Text (again can have letters in it) EstimateDate : Date/Time EstimateTime : Date/Time Employee_ID : Number Customer_ID : Number ProblemDescription : Memo
Customers - Table Customer_ID : Autonumber FirstName : Text LastName : Text CompanyName : Text Address : Text City : Text Province_State : Text Postal_ZIPCode : Text (CDN Postal codes are letter num letter...)
you can see the link table in the EstimatesandParts Table
Now I want to use that link to populate a subform in the F_Estimates form
Forms
SF_Customers - SubForm
(all boxes atm are text boxes on this form till I figure out the Parts section then will use same base for this so I can pick any customer in the database to be the customer for this estimate. Also will have ctrl button for making new customer with customer form and a refresh on Focus Gain bit of code)
FirstName LastName CompanyName Address City Province_State Postal_ZIPCode
SF_Parts - SubForm Default View -Continuous Forms
(want it to be a list of parts that I can grab prices and descriptions from then in a bit of code to calculate a cost of parts)
Part_ID : Combo Box Control Source - Part_ID Row Source Type - Table/Query Row Source - SELECT Parts.Part_ID, Parts.PartNumber, Parts.PartName, Parts.UnitPrice, Parts.Description FROM Parts ORDER BY Parts.Description;
(Pulls info from the table Parts for input into a list of parts to be used on that project)
PartName : Text Box UnitPrice : Text Box
(here's where I run into problems due to the fact that the form is not based on the parts table but rather the link table EstimatesandParts so I can't propogate the info to the 2 other text boxes, ps I dont care if they cant be text boxes and have to be linked or some other type I'm not "set" just need to find out how to make it work )
(have tried a couple things to complete this task)
(works AWSOME ... for ONE ROW then propogates the second selection to the first and second and third selection to first second and third and so on ...)
(tried to make control source for the txtPartName to)
=Forms!Parts!Partname
(Doesnt exist .. akkk, cant use ActiveForm either as it doesn't focus on the SubForm but the MainForm ... cry)
(Combo Boxes Select Customer and Employee from list of present ones of each)
SF_Customers SF_Parts
(Both SubForms on the main form)
Now this is an Exerp from my entire Database I like to work on one small problem at a time and I have made this its own little database till I figure out the problem then I will bring the info I learn back into the rest of the database and go from there ...
Hope you can help I have a feeling I will need to make a recordset and go from there but I'm just not able to wrap my head around that for some reason
Thanks in advance for ANY and ALL help that I get from here
I am trying to run a query and for some reason its not showing the data from the table (its blank), this is a monthly reporting I do - last months query works perfectly.
Table: log and list
Here is the SQL
SELECT log.*, UL.langue, UL.version FROM log, (SELECT list.id, list.[langue], list.version, list.no_joueur FROM list GROUP BY list.id, list.[langue], list.version, list.no_joueur) AS UL WHERE (((log.id)=[UL].[id]) AND ((UL.no_joueur)<90000000));
I am working with a database and existing query from my predecessor. The field in the query appears in both the database table and the query.when I run the query it doesn't appear. Is there a limit to the number of columns in a query I easily added a new column and moved a column,
The first is my table of pupils which is linked to the second table: a list of awards and a score 1-5
My third table is the list of 10 awards.
My problem is that (in my report) I want to show all 10 awards for each pupil regardless of if they have achieved them. I'm struggling with the underlying query to always show all 10 awards.
So, little Johnny has achieved a score of 5 in two of the awards, however the report card will show blanks for the remaining awards on his report.
In a table I have three fields 1. City - which is a combo box linked to a query, 2. State - a text box, 3. postal Code - a text box
When i put them on a form I use the info selected in the City box to populate the info in the State and Postcal Code boxes.
The Control source for the city is SELECT tblPostcodes.ID, tblPostcodes.Pcode, tblPostcodes.Locality, tblPostcodes.State FROM tblPostcodes;
Then on the form i put the control source of the state box as =City.column(1) and Postal code as =City.column(3)
This works fine on the form- and the information is retained - but the datasheet view of the table does not record either the State or the Postcode data that was entered. Is this because I put the control source on the form and the table is not recognising it? if this is the case how do enter it from the table?? really confused...
My database only has one table of data so it's not complicated.I would like to create a form that can create customisable Excel exports of the data based on set conditions and exporting only select fields. URL...I have one table of data (tblCustomers) which contains all of the fields in the box above.
I would like export the data from the table to excel showing only the fields that are ticked in the box (frmCustomReport).The check boxes are named chk then whatever the field name is eg. chkLocation, chkStatus. The labels are the names of the fields in tblCustomers. Is there a way to do this in SQL or VBA?
I have a database with 2 tables: tbl_Client and tbl_Orders
I would like to sum the total from the sold products and show them in the form in a text field called 'Total sales" the data from the table orders appear as a sub form in the main form Client.
It would be great to have for each client appear the total sales in the form, but I'm not able to find the formula for this so the table tbl_Orders field "TotalPrice" will be sumed.
In a linked table Access solution where the tables reside on the network, and each user has a front-end on their desktop, does all the data travel over the network to the clients desktop to do the query, or since the backend is Access and it can obviously understand the query, does the backend do the query and just return the resultset?
My goal is to get a huge amount of data paired down so that I can work with it in Excel.
I started with a 14 million record text file provided by a government agency. I used a text editor to break that into 7 2-million record files to fit into Access.
I figure I can filter each of those files down to 500,000 or so records, so that I can manipulate them in Excel. The problem is, when I open a text file in Access, Access insists on linking it, and then I can't delete data from a linked file.
I have all my data sitting on a server in SQL. Within Access, I have linked tables pointing at SQL tables. I display the data on an Access form. Somewhere in their it is dropped a few records. This system is used for in and out processing and occasionally misses a few individuals. Could this have anything to do with the method in opening the table, ie dbopenTable vs dbOpenSnapshot.
