Rename/Save As Function For Entire Database
Aug 24, 2006Hi,
I am running an autocompact module in Access97 which will created a 'compacted version' of my database. I then want to rename this compacted version to the name of the original database I compacted. I cannot however find a way of doing this in code.
Basically the idea is to compact every 45 minutes or so, but what my autocompact is doing is creating a compacted version under a different name, and so compacting a copy of the database, I then want to change this compacted database name to the original name and re compact every 45 mins
Can anyone help?

Rename Field Names Using VBA
Mar 14, 2006Hello, I'm currently working on automating the import of a csv file (which works fine using the Transfertext method) but the csv file does not contain field names.
I want to rename the fields with something meaningful after importing the file, but I can't seem to figure out how to do this using the tabeldef method of handling tables. There's nothing in the help, not that I could find anyway.
Does anyone know whether this can be done and how, cheers.

View 1 Replies View RelatedTables :: Rename A Table Field Name
Apr 18, 2014I was working on my DB, cleaning up some of the field name that were cumbersome and everything worked fine. Today I was doing some follow up work and I cannot change the field names. All I want to do it change the name of a field from CITY to City, but it won't let me do it. I have tried, change from single click to double click, but I was already using double click to open an object; unchecked Auto-Correct, still nothing.
Yesterday I was able to modify a name from Actions to Action (simply deleting one letter. And State/Province to StateProvince. Worked fine. What bothers me is that I have been able to change a field name before and now I can't. I have tried compact and restore, etc.
Access XP And Sql Svr 2000 Field Rename Problem
Apr 23, 2007Hello everyone,
I hope I’m in the right forum for the question I’m asking.
I’m using MS Access XP with Sql Server 2000 in an Access ADP. I am still designing my Sql Server database and recently I deleted field called “EmpStatus” from my database. When I tried to open the table I got a message that the field “EmpStatus” could not be found. I tried refreshing the table names and reconnecting to the database but neither of those options work and I couldn’t open the table. I finally had to add the field “EmpStatus” back to the table before the table would open.
I experimented with this problem and found that if you change a field name or delete a field in a table either by using enterprise manager or the Access UI, that table will no longer open in an Access project. I even tried creating a new ADP using the same sql server database and that table still l wouldn’t open.
Can anyone explain to me why this is happening, what I doing wrong , or how to get around this problem?
I’m using Access XP and Sql Server 2000
Thanks

View 5 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Multiple Entries To One Database Field?
Aug 8, 2013Basically, I'm compiling a table of funding sources and whilst all the fields are relatively straight forward, how best to approach the matter of where the funding is available. For example, Funding A is available in America only, Funding B is available in America, Canada and Europe and Funding C is available Internationally etc (a huge number of possible options and infinite different combinations). How's best for me to lay this out because there will be hundreds of funding sources all with different availability criteria? If the field name is 'Countries funding is available', can a data type input be multiple entries?
Ultimately I'll want to be able to query show all funding sources available internationally or show those available to America and Canada only etc...and when I query on another field or show all, I'll want to see where each of the funding sources are available, listed out .

General :: Database To Automatically Choose Option Depending On Calculated Field?
Aug 10, 2015I have an option button for a field [Fully Paid] (Yes/No) in my LoanT and i want to know if it's possible for my database to automatically choose an option depending on a calculated field
(Calculated field from another query) = [Outstanding Balance]
Say... if [outstanding balance] is = 0 or negative (refundable), then Yes should be On, if not it should remain No/off so that i wouldn't have to go over every record and manually choose the option
The option button is very useful when i want to display loans which are Paid and/or still active. How do I go about this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Updating From Local Database To Central Database
Sep 12, 2012Database: Access 2007
I have designed a touchscreen input system using Visual Basic.net and this writes to an Access Database. Each Touchscreen has its database locally so it can still work even if there are Network problems.
Now what I would like to do is have all these local databases write to a central database say every minute but only write new records to the central database. The Central Database can either be Access or SQL.
What is the best way to do this?
