Is it possible for a website to pull data from an Access database?
We have all our department's policies in a MS Access database on our server. Some of these policies need to be made available to the public on our website. I'm wondering if there's a way for the website to pull directly from the database rather than having to manually upload the policies to the site every time they change (annually, semi-annually).
I just created a database and need to connect it to the data source. The data comes from a http website (intranet from work). When I open the link using firefox, I can view the website with the data in it, but when I open it from Internet Explorer, I get a save as pop-up message to save a csv file which contains all the data. The extension of the http website ends with csv. So it is something like http (slash slash...) Intranetname/referral_dbase.csv
Currently, I am opening the file using firefox, copying all the data manually, and pasting it in a text file using notepad. After that, I import the file into access. The delimiter of the data is this symbol: |
I am trying to find a way to link my database to the website where the data is located so that I can skip the manual process of opening the website and copying the data and saving it into a text file and then importing that file into access. I was thinking to have like a form in access with a bottom that will automatically import that data from this link and paste it into a table in access using the delimiter symbol mentioned above.
Is this too complicated? Is it even possible in access 2010?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've used MS Access a fair bit in the past but am somewhat lost since moving to 2013Pro.Some years back I was using software to document radio intercepts, this was based on Access but used a program to display and enter the data.That program was lost after upgrading to a new computer (tied to the CPU) .And the company has long since gone out of business.So I am left with the MS Access elements.In the form of a 3mb database that has nothing but a long list of tables to show for itself.Each table opens and has some ID columns with text like this in them 'L096e0dd24757c 1533a7cc1 53e 6ba44 bd' and after has usable data. What I want to do is set up Access so I can use as much of the data as possible.

I work for a construction company and am after a bit of advice.
We are looking in to designing a database system to manage one of our property maintenance contracts.
We want to be able to accesss and update the database using a website, so users can gain access via Laptops / Smartphones etc. For Example a plumber can log on to the site on his PDA using a username and password and view a list of jobs outstanding for him and update the status once completed.
We also want to have a section for clients where they can log on and view reports on the status of the project.
What is the best way to impliment this? I have been looking at Access 2007, SQL, Coldfusion, Sharepoint but still so confused.....:confused:
Any advice would be great.
Cheers

Hello! intermediate databaser here and its good to be here.
I own a bridal shop and i'm creating a website to sell my dresses. I know the first step is to have a database ready, since I have so many dresses. I have my tables done with one table holding customer attributes, including name, address, and other personal information, one holding dress attributes such as color, quantity, style, price etc., and other look up tables that has to do with the styles, colors, and quantity (up to 5). Here is where the problem comes in at:
I want to keep up with the orders placed such as the date ordered, what dress they ordered, who ordered it, price paid, shipping and handling (flat rate), etc. but I do not know how to link this up to run off the website. I would like to know what are the key fields I would need in order to place orders appropriately.
Do I need special type of tables since this will be going online?
Would this be the easiest way to go about doing such a thing?
If you could point me in the right way, or to a tutorial I would greatly appreciate it.
Forever Yours
here is a link to my website http://www.justevents.biz if there is anyone who would be kind enough to look at it and tell me how to build an access database for the categories and search by zip, etc. i would be greatly appreciative. I have tried all the tutorial helps and built about 15 different databases and can't get a single one of them searchable under any circumstances. I have tried all I know to do.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a DB that runs on a user's pc. It creates a pdf from a report automatically at a specific time of day. The user now wants me to automatically send this pdf to his web site so that his customers can view the report over the internet. The pc that the db runs on has an internet connection but no email system (they do not want email on this pc).
I have not been able to find code to do this. I can find code for sending email but this is not what I want to do. I'm sure it must be possible but I've never done anything like this before.

I would like to be able to click a button on a form in my data base and login to a website using my username and password.
The manual login, requires two clicks after username and password, "Login" and "Click to continue"
I have tried many solutions found on the internet, none work for me. One forum reply was to send me a link to another site and it was for Excel. Is the code the same? Didn't work anyway.
From the website I want to login to, I have copied the code into a Word doc from the "inspect element" to work out the names of the fields I'm trying to put my username and password into. (see attached)
I would also like to be able to use Google Chrome as my web browser if possible?

I am trying to get a button on my form to open two reports, and also go to a website. Once at the website I want it to type in a search bar based off of the criteria of the two reports. I currently have it able to open both reports correctly, and I can get the website to open, but I am not able to find a way to get access to type anything once on the website.
I am opening the website using:
Application.FollowHyperlink _
"enterwebsite"
I am writing a program that allows users to enter customer info and I want to be able to pop up a window that will search for Postal (Zip) codes using the Postal Service URL. (I would like to position the popup so that the contents of the Address and Postal Code fields are still visible on the form). I would also like to know if there is a way to copy the contents of the Address Field in my program to the Windows Clipboard, using VBA code, so that I can paste it into the Postal Code Finder without highlighting the field contents and pressing Ctrl-C.
View 2 Replies View RelatedActually what I am looking to do is have an Access application check some Web site for the presence of a number. This number could be the Serial number of the application and if this number exists to maybe show a message in the aplication or even terminate the application.
A quick and dirty way is for User Serial number 254, to put on a specific page of a Web site say arbitrary file 254.jpg (invisible on the Web site). The application would check for the existence of this file and if it is there, it could take some action. Everything would have to be done in stealth mode.
The following code can tell me if a specific URL exists, in this case [URL]
Code:
Private Sub cmdArbitray_Click()
Dim blnDum As Boolean
blnDum = blnCheckURL("http://www.VisualDentist.com")
' If blnDum = True then it exists
End Sub
Public Function blnCheckURL(ByVal strURL As String) As Boolean
Const FLAG_ICC_FORCE_CONNECTION As Long = &H1
blnCheckURL = (InternetCheckConnection(strURL, FLAG_ICC_FORCE_CONNECTION, 0&) <> 0&)
End Function
1) How can I check for file 254.jpg?
I need to merge data from one DB into another.I have a split database with front end DBcompanyFE and back end DBcompanyBE. BE is on the server so users at company (3 users) can access it with their own FEs.I also have 2 users that are working at some other location (geographically) and they have identical BE of database (DBcompanyBE) and their own FEs.Now, my problem is, that at each location there is different data entered, but on both locations all the data is needed. What would be the easiest and mybe most automated way to merge/combain those data.

Field name on both are different
DatabaseA:

I have read only access to a database maintained by a vendor. I am using an append query to search for new records in that database every time my database opens through a macro. This adds any new records to my table. I then add additional information to each record in my table. This is newly acquired information, not calculated, and it is different for each record.
My question is can I keep my table up to date with the vendor table without running the append query macro at open every time as my database may remain open for extended periods of time during updating of records.
