In my contacts datababse I have a main table where all the is stored for my contacts.
I have a form that I use to enter and display the information from, Because I have more the one contact at a given company I have created a seperate table that contains all of the contact details for each office.
What I would like to be able to do is when I select a office on my form Access will populate the the rest of the fields in this section with the relevant information.
I have a table and a simple query that pulls results from the table. Nothing too crazy. But, if I were to go in and change some of the data/values in the query results it will change the respective data in the table. I know that this cannot be right. What do I have to do to either prevent the ability to change query results and/or prevent any changes in the query from altering the original data in the table.
If the data source changes for an Access database, do I need to recreate all the tables, queries, and reports? I am having quite a time with this issue. Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
I am automating a mail merge with Access to Word. Does anyone know how to stop the Confirm Data Source dialog window from coming up and just except the default (orginal) data source? I have users that do not know they should just click the OK button, some are clicking NO and then I lose the connection because they dont know where the table link is. I dont know what else to do but tell them to always click the Yes button when confirming but not everone listens and then i have to do it all over again.:mad:
I have an MDB file that points to a postgres database. What I'm trying to do is to redirect it to another datasource. The database is exactly the same, but I just need to point it to a different location. I tried doing this with linked table manager by refreshing the table and enabling the "always prompt for new location". I was able to point to my new location but what happened was my MDB became readonly, I am unable to edit anything after I changed the datasource.
I have a table of people, each with an ID, and I have a table of events, each with an ID.
I want to design a form in such a way that when you look at each person it gives a row of event fields, one for each event, into which you can put a Number for the number of tickets that each person wants (each person will only want to go to a few events).
If you enter a number, I want the form to generate new record in a separate table (tickets) with three fields - the Person's Id, the Event ID and the number of tickets.
I only want one ticket record per person per event (so if the numer of tickets changes I want the form to amend the number, not create a new record.
So, I want the Form to show "page" for each person, with "fields" for each event, the info being stored in a separate table, which the form is able to cycle through, despite the fact that there will not be records for every person.
Hi, I know this has to be simple, but when I test a Data Access Page on my local machine I get an error that says "data source field is read only". I've made these pages before and never had a problem with writing to the database using a DAP. The database is not read only. Any ideas?
I have a log which is updated by users in a spreadsheet. I have a front end which allows others members of the team to view the information being entered. What i want to know is if there is a way to link the spreadsheet to the database frontend which can automatically update the informationd daily.
I know you can do a SQL link but you have to pay for licences is there any way of doing this? We can not use a schudules job either??
I have a report that is pretty complicated in the page numbering, since it's grouped by Aisle Number (it's a report of hazardous products in a store), and the Aisle Number and the "Page x of x" is in the header.Someone here actually created all of the logic for me last year.how a particular table is being populated with the information.Here's the Event Procedure for the "On Open" event of the report:
Code:
Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer) 'when the report opens the temporary table needs to be cleared CurrentDb.Execute ("Delete * From ztblAislePages") 'delete records from table ' the recordset object needs to be opened so it can be used and accessible in the group footer and header sections Set GrpPages = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("ztblAislePages", DB_OPEN_TABLE) 'open the ztblAislePages recordset GrpPages.Index = "Aisle" 'set the index so procedure knows what field to search
[code]....
ztblAislePages is a permanent table that holds temporary information...it's populated with information only for this report, and as you can see from the code above, it's cleared at the beginning of the process.where this information is coming from to populate the table, however.
Code: Set GrpPages = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("ztblAislePages",DB_OPEN_TABLE)
The table itself has no source data that I can find, unless I'm not looking in the right place.I've done a search for dependencies and can't find anything. All I know is that when I choose a store, the table IS being cleared, and it IS being populated with new information.
I am having difficulty with my Access database, when I run a particular query. The query is linked to a table in SQL Server, but I keep getting a "ODBC -Call Failed" error message. After some research I understand I might need to change the ODBC Data Source, but this is something I have never done and am unsure of how to do it so my query will work!
I have an Access 2013 database that includes among its tables 4 externally linked ODBC tables in a SQLServer DB. They are linked tables, not imported. There are also relationships between these tables for some of the queries and reports in the Access DB. I need to make a copy of the database and change the source of the ODBC links to a different SQLServer DB. I have not been able to figure out how to do that without rebuilding the links with a new source definition created from scratch.
I have a database sitting on my server for which individual users login to over the network with their own User name and password. Within my database there are links to data from external sources (SQL based).
My query is, if the database remains open at all times, once the link to the data has been established after keying the SQL database password, how do I stop it from asking each user that logs in to enter the password again each time they dip into the database? (If Possible).
I have a db with three linked (related) tables. I have a form that has, at present, only one of these tables as a data source. Now I want to bring a couple of fields from another table into that form.
I know how to link a table to two data sources when first creating a table. But how do I do it when the table already exists?
I tried Table Design View | View Properties | Data source, but that allows only one data source. If I link to another, the first disappears.

I have two Tables TA and TB. I have a set of queries based on TA. I want to substitute TB for TA (i.e. TB will stand in place of TA). I want the old TA queries remain unchanged but now be based on TB.
If I delete TA and then rename TB into TA, I will lose the queries. Therefore I want to 'point' the queries (in the most efficient way) to TB instead of to TA.
Then I can delete TA. Then I can rename TB into TA and the queries will follow along, I expect.
I have been trying in vain to find a way of pointing the queries to TA instead of TB? How do I do it?
I have done it with Forms (Design Views, Properties), where I can select a datasource. But where is the corresponding thing enabling me to select a datasource for Queries?
I have a form where users enter data in various ways - combo boxes with drop down selections and text boxes where users manually enter some data. I also have several text boxes that return "answers" based on calculations from user entries mentioned above. The form is bound to a table where all the entered data is stored. I'm having trouble saving the calculated information to the bound table. It's easy in all the non-calced boxes, I just put the column name of the bound table in the control source, but in the calculated fields, I already have the formula in the control source. How can I identify the proper column to save the data in this case.
Hi, I want to create a delete query that uses information stored in an external excel file. This file is constantly being updated so it isn't ideal to keep loading it into the access database. I need to use the excel file to remove any records appearing in my access table that are matching with the excel file. Make sense? Can anyone out there help - it this at all possible? Thanks,
I'm working with several different source datasets. Mostly this are TXT files.
When I import the data in a new table with a specification, I want to validate if the dataset is the correct dataset be validating the headers in the source data.
I have created a table with the headers, that consists of 92 columns. Below 3 example columns of the header data:
Now I want to check during the import of the imported data has a line in it that is equal to the data in the table headers. If not, the import stops and informs the user that the data set is not correct. This to prevent that incorrect data will be inserted into the database.
Some extra information: The data is import into the database via VBA DoCmd.TransferText into a new created table, using an inport specification.
If the data is okay, it will be appended to an existing table that is being used to process the data further. After that the import table is being deleted.
I want the user to be able to see the source/reference of (many of) the different data points in my database, so I need to store sources/references in the database itself. I want to have all references in one single/common table (list of references). Each reference may be the source of many data points, in different columns in a given table, and in different tables. Is this possible, and can it be done in an elegant way?
I've done some basic work with arrays.. writing array data to form list objects.. How to use an array as a data source for a report?
Would i need to create a recordset and populate it with the array, then bind the report to it ?
The reason I am asking is the previous developer here built every app using arrays and UDT's... the apps are completely disconnected from the data. Everything is loaded in to arrays..
I have an unbound form with three tabs. On each tab there is a sub form. Each tab is a search form and each sub is a results returned. I have made everything unbound and set the sub form recordsource and its controls control souce on afterupdate of the main form search criteria. Works fine except for after some use the db decides the sub forms are not unbound and sets the record source and control sources.
I tried and failed to get this to work using a multiselect listbox..I have a list of departments in tblFunctionalArea...My main table is tblStatic..I want to be able to for each record select multiple departments affected by a record and store them in the tblStatic.After looking around i couldn't find many people successfully maanging to store listbox values in a table...
I decided to create 5 fields in tblStatic and in my form create multiple combo boxes cboFunctionalArea1, cboFunctionalArea2 etc etc which are bound to these fields.I want to be able to ensure the list for any combo box requeries and takes out any selection in the other boxes.
I have this working in a strict cascade fashion i.e. in cbo1 all dept's visible, in cbo2 it takes off whatever was selected in cbo1 etc. But if someone then jumps back and deletes the content of cbo3 then the whole thing breaks or if they amend in the wrong order it breaks
