General :: Making Copy Of A Table?
Sep 5, 2014
Sometimes extensive updates have to be made to a table using an update query or loop through a record set.
In order to be able to undo changes in case of a mistake I am thinking about the following procedure:
In code:
1 - Make a copy of the table
2 - Make the changes in the original
3 - Check if updates are correct and if so: delete the copy and if not:
delete the default table and rename the copy so it will be the original.
Is that common practice or not?

I have a back-end db in access 2010, linked to a set of sharepoint tables on office365.
I want to make a completely unlinked copy of the db to store a "snapshot" of the data on a fixed date.
I have tried "save as" using the "Save as Local Database" option, but for some reason, it still saves as linked tables.
How to go about it?

;) Hey everybody,
I am working on a database used in recording device characteristics/test information. The main table of information has dozens of columns for test/part detailed information. When inputing the data for each specific test, many of the info. details are repeated when testing say 20 devices of the same part all at once. Rather than retype every piece of detailed information in every field, everytime, is there an easier way? Does anyone know of a way to make specific fields copy/paste the previous record's information in the fields automatically when a new record is created? Please, if anyone could help or has ANY ideas, let me know...
Thanks

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 thought that a phone book might be a good thing to begin with...
Should I be making every single entry field on it's own table and then pulling them from there into one form or....?

In one table (Alpha1) I have a person's general information (e.g., name, SSN, address, phone number, etc.).
I have a person enter his or her SSN and the general information is populated.
I want the person to click on an icon and all the Alpha1 information is transferred to a new table (same field names), then bring up that same record in a new form.
I'll do the work. I simply need the general concept of making this work.

I am trying to copy a table and paste as another name. I do this all the time with this table as it is a process I have to do. It is giving me a -1524 error. I also tried to export it to another database and it won't allow that either. I get the same error.
I have tried this with other tables and it does fine.

I have a table customers, which i can select from an combobox. In my form two tables are bound. one is the customers, and the other is a table where i want to copy the customer information.
I tried this code to copy the selection I made in the combobox afterupdate.
[T_Invoice_firstname] = [T_customer.firstname]
But I get an error 2448 saying I cant assign a value to this object.
I tried msgbox [T_customer.firstname] and i see the name
I tried msgbox [T_invoice.firstname] and i see the empty record
I even filled in a name in the t_invoice.firstname and it shows with the msgbox also.
So I have clearly doing something wrong here.

I have a need to copy a table structure from an existing linked table in the backend
i have done this by
a) copying the table structure into a new table in the fromt ebd
b) exporting the new table into the backend
c) dropping the table in the front end
just wondered if there was an easy way to do this directly in the backend?

I would like to be able to copy a single record in a table and then paste this record a pre-defined number of times 10,20,30 depending on requirements. The reason I need to do this is that I want to set up a number of identical records that can easily be amended into unique records. This will vastly reduce the amount of work and time spent entering records individually.
The only way that I have been able to achieve this is to copy and transfer the master record into Excel, and then copy the row and paste it into a range of cells. Copy the range of cells back from Excel and then paste this range back into the Access table.
This works but is long winded; what I would like to know is is there a simply way of achieving this.

Would it be ok just to make a copy of the BE file (every so often) rather than to make a copy via code?The user can then just paste over the original if it becomes corrupt.

If you make your database into a executable file to package it, does the other person you are sending it to have to have or own Access to use it. I was under the impression that I could create a database, package it as its own program and give it to someone that does not have access and it would still work? If not, how would I do such a thing.

I am attempting to set up a saved import procedure in an Access database that will be run programmatically using docmd.RunSavedImportExport. The source document is an Excel file.My goal is to trap any import errors caused by inconsistencies in the source data. I'd also like to provide the user with some small amount of feedback on what is causing these errors.
My initial thought was to make use of the "File_ImportErrors" table that is generated following an unsuccessful import. *Not once* has this import procedure consistently generated an error table - sometimes the table is created, sometimes it isn't.
I have tried changing the file format of the import file to comma- and tab-delimited files, respectively. Both of these formats do consistently generate an error table, however none of the error values in the table are accurate - it reports a slew of type conversion errors for fields that are completely consistent and unproblematic, whilst completely overlooking conspicuous errors from text strings in date fields.
I have tried the same import, both procedurally and manually, using all available Excel and text-delimited formats, with the same respective results.I notice that nearly every thread on AWF pertaining to error tables discusses how to delete them, rather than make effective use of them. I suspect this is perhaps why?

To start, I am going to generalize to a database of Cows. the fields are:
Name (enforced unique/"Primary Key" in access language?),
size,
color,
age.
The goal is to have a form with check boxes for the fields that the user selects. Scenario is one cow buyer cares about size, while another may care about color and be curious on age. So rather than guessing at what reports the users will want, have a form that allows them to select the fields they want then print a report. An intermediate step would be a query to filter the data.
See the picture below ....
Also, from my perspective, this is the basis of the best code i would write; if someone wanted to add a column for cow gender you wouldnt have to change all your forms/queries/reports:
Global import table.Cows
Form 2 in picture (form with check boxes):
for ( i=0, i<width(Cows), i++)
form.create.checkbox cb.append(i)
cb.append(i).label(Cows[i])
Then create the report based on cb0, cb1, cb2, etc. queries

I have got 3 forms, and at the time of running, I want to make one primarily one form to be showing up and the other 2 to be hidden or closed, and the primary form will have 2 buttons, and clickning respective buttons should be able to open another 2 respective forms.
At the moment am using, DoCmd.OpenForm "Form1", which works fine, but am confused in brining the form 1 only to be shown at the first most time.

I currently have the following setup for my database which is working as desired when only being used by one user at a time:
Front end: Access 2010 database in Citrix
Back end: SharePoint List
The problem is that only one user can open the Access Database at a time since this action locks the database for other potential users. The locking occurs due to this link to the back end SharePoint list.
allow multiple users to update the SharePoint list through the access database at the same time?

Hi guys,
Does anyone know how to turn a query into a table? There is like 400,000 records in my query so the easy copy and paste option won't work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,

I'd like to be able to show recruiters the database as an example of my work (to get an interview, etc.). Of course, I can't just show them a copy of the database with all of the private information on it, so I'd like to be able to show them a copy of the database with no records. Is there a way to export/copy it so I can do this in Access 2007?
