General :: Change Link From One External Database To Another?
Feb 26, 2013I've got an Access 2010 application that currently links to a SQL Server 2000 database. I need to change the link to a SQL Server 2008 database on a different server. Where do I go to change the link? When I click on External Data, ODBC Database, I only get an option to import source data. I don't want to import any data. I just want the application to link to a different external database. If I go ahead and click OK, I choose my ODBC connection and log in to the 2008 database. Now I've got a list of "import objects" to choose from. I choose one table (just for testing; I actually want to link with all tables), it says it imported successfully, but when I view the data in that table from Access, it's the same old 2000 database data.

Sep 14, 2006Hi
This is going to be very simple so someone !!!
All Iwant to do is change the name of my database.
Currently it is called 'Test' and I now want to call it by the proper name.
I have changed the icon name that is displayed in Windows Explorer and also on all the forms within the database properties window.
However the name 'Test' still appears at the top of the main Access window!!
How do I change this so that it says the new name?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

General :: Can't Add Or Change Data
Oct 16, 2013I finally found and eliminated all duplicate entries in my tblStoreProducts table, so that I could create a 2-field Index called UniqueProduct that would prevent duplicate entries. Without it, uploading information from Excel (not the preferred method) would result in duplicated entries in this table which would ultimately reflect in the Hazardous Materials reports that must be submitted to the fire marshal.
Today I was going through data entries in the Product table and noticed some that are STILL coming up with the UPC (a text field) in Scientific Notation.
I know that I have to change the information in the linked table tblStoreProducts first. The most simple way would be to just change the UPC of the product in that table to the correct UPC. It shouldn't be causing a problem, because it doesn't create a duplicate record. I'm getting the error "The text you entered isn't an item in the list" now that I've created that index.
I changed the index to Unique = No and still get the same error.
I removed the index all together...still get the same error.
I'm making the changes directly in the BE database right now. If I can't enter information directly, the forms aren't going to work either.
MDE File Still Allows Me To Change Database Design
Mar 16, 2007I've converted my DB into an MDE file as I understand this secures all the code and doesn't allow any changes to the database (table structure, queries, etc.).
However, when I now view my MDE file, I can still delete queries and change tables. But I cannot view forms in design mode and therefore get access to the code.
Any ideas?
Unable To Delete Or Change Name Of Database
Jan 23, 2008I have tried to rename or delete in MS Explorer, but this just creates confusion. The databases still show up in bits and pieses on various screens.

Does anyone know the magic bullet?:confused:

I have a problem where the user has certain contraints in colour.
I am trying to change all the colours of labels in the database to purple.
Is there any way to declare it once in the database and all label statements will pick up the new colour. Saves me going through every form. Also there are other users who want to use the database with black.

General :: Popup On Change Of Data
May 5, 2015Is it possible to show an alert/reminder any time data in a particular field is entered or changed? It would have to show up if the data was changed in table view or query view.
Until I can write something that will store historical data for these fields, I want to make sure anyone entering information will record the old information in a separate table. Yes, I know this is not the ideal way to store the type of data; but this database has been running for 10+years and is tied in to so many aspects of the company re-writing it is just not an option ...

Jul 25, 2014I have a database with two tables: taskTable and volumeTable. On the task table I have the list of task performed in my team and the time it takes to perform the task related to a category, and on the volume tasks I have the volumes of workload based on the category moth after month. Then I have a query that multiplies the time it takes to perform a task with the volume in the category and returns me results for each month.
Now, if a task changes on march and the time to perform it its reduced or increase I change it on the table, howerver, ALL results for all months. I would like to know if there is a way for the change to be applied from the month it is changed and not retroactively.
Example Task Table:
Task Time to Perform Task Category
Buy ticket 5 min Business Visitor
Create profile 10 min Business Visitor
Example Volumes Table:
Month Year Category Volume
