I've been asked to assist a local non-profit transfer an Access DB to a new server. The DB was set up a number of years ago and the designers are no longer available.
The old server is set up as a workgroup server, and the new server is set up as a domain server. (I am completely unfamiliar with how networks are set up...I've never dealt with this end before.)
The designers set up a .mdw file which (I believe) controls permissions etc. After much wrangling, we finally uncovered the admin password. However, even signed in on a workstation as the admin w/ full rights, I still can't copy a functional version of the DB to removable media in order to move it to the new server.
The server does not have MS Access loaded....only the .mdb and .mdw files.
I *think* I have to replace the 'secured' .mdw file with a generic, clean .mdw. Do I need to do this on the server, or the workstations, or both?
Hi, I'm running 2 append queries to my existing db to update fields in one table with data from 2 sources - basically plucking some fields from one and some from the other (using a client ID number as the common identifier - the data is fed into the parent table). However, it would appear that some of the data is not transferring into the parent table even though it is visible in the source file (.xls). I know that this seems like a broad request but I'm just wondering if there may be a potential simple error. Any ideas?

My program is finally complete, much thanks to everyone here that helped me!
Here's (hopefully) my final issue:
I haven't actually tested this yet to see if it's an actual issue, but I assume it might be. The program i just built needs to be transferred to my client's computer. currently my program consists of three files: PROGRAM.mdb (interface), DATA.mdb (linked tables), PROGRAM.mdw (security file). they are in their own separate folder (C:Program) and play nicely together. i'm concerned because i think that once i zip it up and email it over, when my client unzips it into a folder on his hard drive (named c:program so he doesn't have to re-link them), it might not work because of the .mdw file. if anyone recalls my thread entitled "H E L P ! ! ! !" you see why I'm concerned.
should this just run without a problem, or do i need to have him do all sorts of steps to reassemble the program?
In one form i have a field called "address" and if the address changes I want to - by clicking a command button or such - automatically transfer this field into a field called "previous address" on another form. How can I do this??
Hi all. Hopefully this will be a simple thing...What I have is one main table (RFA Main) and two related tables (S/R Disposition and Suppliers). RFA Main has a two check boxes (ScrapRewrk and SupActs) that I am using to trigger append queries that append the following SQL statement: Suppliers table INSERT INTO Suppliers ( LogNum, Originator, ReportDateOp, PartNum, PartNumDesc, ProbDesc, CustRtn, RmaNum ) SELECT [RFA Main].LogNum, [RFA Main].Originator, [RFA Main].ReportDateOp, [RFA Main].PartNum, [RFA Main].PartNumDesc, [RFA Main].ProbDesc, [RFA Main].CustRtn, [RFA Main].RmaNum FROM [RFA Main] WHERE ((([RFA Main].SupAct)=True));
S/R Disposition table SQL the same except for the WHERE statement reads ((([RFA Main}.ScrapRewrk)=True));
First, what kind of statement would I use to trigger the append query when the boxes are checked? Currently, the users are doing these append queries manually by clicking command buttons.
I have created a database that deals with inventory control. My next step that I have been approaching is to click a command button that opens up a separate from but takes specific information from FORM 1 into the new FORM that I just created.
So if a specific Employee takes out 4 aprons from a total of 50 and there are now 46 left, I would like the submit button to transfer that data over accordingly to Inventory control form in the correct text boxes.
Specific Example: If employee John Doe takes 4 aprons from a total of 50 which now leaves 46 how can I transfer that data into the other form showing specific information like 'Product ID' taken, 'Date' it was taken, 'Product Description', 'Employee' who took it, 'Amount Taken' and, 'total' left. I need the extended information to show up in the text boxes on form 2.
Is there a certain code that does this? Here are screen shots so you can get a visual....
I am using DoCmd.TransferDatabase to transfer 2 tables from one database to another. This works fine, however, the user permissions for those tables do not carry over with the table and I have to go into the database and set them as they were in the original database.
Simply, I want to allow complete access for all users to the tables in the second database.
I currently have a database which collects details of event effecting our business and am using a simple query that displays events within a defined date range.
I have also set an excel sheet which on the main worksheet appears as a calender format for a particular month which is updated by data in the access query. At the moment I tranfer the query to excel and it appears as a new sheet which I then have to link to the master calender.
Is there any way when exporting to excel to tell access to send the data to a particular sheet and cell range and even more advanced tell it were to put certain dates information? i.e send 1st March info to cells A1 to A4, 2nd to A5 to A8 etc.
Hope someone has some ideas on this one - even being able to send all data a specific cell range would be useful
I have one table of records that I would like to query and display the results. I have created a form that asks the user for criteria for the query (search). Then I want to display the results from that query in another form (results). The problem is that I cannot figure out how to do it.
The results form is using the query as its source. I have tried running the search and then opening the results form, but I get a message saying that I tried to lock the table but it was in use.
Is there a way to link these forms so that i can bring up the search form, perform the search, and have the results brought up in the results form?
I have one form that is serving as a popup while the parent form remains open... in my code for the popup I'm trying to transfer the value of a textbox to the actual textbox on the parent form... seems easy, but I get this message: "You can't reference a property or method for a control unless the control has the focus" with this code:
Private Sub btnExportData_Click() [Form]![Worksheet]![txtBookedNotBanked] = Me.txtTotal1.Text End Sub
... also is there a way to code this so the popup closes when the transfer is made?
I have a form (frmJob) that has a combobox (cmbCompany). If a new company is not in the table the NotInList code opens another form (frmCompany) and a new company is added into the textbox (txtCoName).
The code below is the code that closes the frmCompany after entering new company.
The first part of the code (Add new company into table) works and adds the new company into table but the second part (Add new company into frmJob) does not, and the new company does not appear in the cmbCompany combobox. Note: frmJob remains open while data is entered into frmCompany.
How can I get the second portion of the code to work?
Code: Public RemCompany As String Private Sub cmdCloseCompany_Click() "FIRST PORTION - Add new company into table Dim dbCom As Database Dim recCom As Recordset Set dbCom = CurrentDb
I found this sample (http://home.earthlink.net/~mgf00/SelectDemo.zip) which allows you to move your selections from one listbox to another with four buttons (<<, <, > and >>) which is just perfect.
Well, almost, actually.
This is already set up to protect against duplicates and that's a good thing. However in my case, my uppers want me to allow duplicates. The code is beyond my ability and my attempts only caused more problems.
The code requires a unique index be generated when the selection is moved between the listbox. Duplicating the index will cause error, and my attempt to circumvent that has either failed totally or is inconsistent (e.g. works if it comes up with a unique value, but will fail if it happens to duplicate a key).
Can anyone show me how I can modify the code to allow for duplicates? The selections then will be looped into a many side table.
I have a mdb file that does not have database or user level security, but it does have a VBA password.I want to transfer (overwrite) a new form to this database from another Access database. The form I'm exporting has VBA code. When I try using docmd.TransferDatabase I get an error. The error is:
"The TransferDatabase action was canceled."The line is:
where txtCheckInFile is the location and mdb file name I'm trying to send the export.It might be because the form already exists. So, if I go into the database and delete form, and repeat the export I get the message:
"Microsoft protect this Visual Basic for Applications Project with a password. You must supply the password in the Visual Basic Editor before you can perform this operation."My question is it possible to transfer a form to a MDB that has a passworded VBA? I know the VBA password.If not, perhaps it is possible to remove the VBA password in the database (using VBA), make my export, and then add the password back in?
table 2 is bonus table id empno bonus amount iddate
table 3 is deduction tableid empno deduction amount iddate
Now i need is to transfer the data from bonus table and from deduction table to the table 1 if the empno and iddate are equal on the both tables
What I mean for ex if i create query and when i enter the employee number directly it will give me his bonus if he has and his deduction also if he has, so how can i do it?
I am setting up a database using Access 2013, and am trying to test downloading files from Excel. For some reason it is not allowing me to have more then 4 columns in the excel file, it gives the error "Subscript out of range". I thought it was the type of variable at first, but when I tried deleting different columns on both files, the transfer always worked with 4 columns. How do I allow more columns to be transferred?Also, is there a way to not include the row numbers of the excel file as an ID column and only include the ID given in the first column?
I have a database with a main database that has 2 related tables...my problem is that i only keep data that i really need, in the main table. My problem is that i sometimes need to go back to old data that i erased. so i have to keep old data too. but i can;t on the same database. so i need to move the old records from the main table and all the related data to another database that will keep all the erased data, so if i need to find something i will search on the "deleted records" database.
This works fine as long as column names in Excel do not have periods. (.) Other then asking whoever is sending this not to put periods, is there painless way ignore that fact that excel has it, un just do it without it ?
I understand that any data that is inputted into a form is always transferred back to the table in question.
In the form I created, I had
4 subheading scores added together to form another subheading named function =([1]+[2]+[3]+[4])/4 was the formula that I put into the control source. The calculation worked fine on the form giving me the correct name. However, this number did not transfer back to the table simple being labelled as zero. Can someone please advice!
I have been trying unsuccessfully to transfer about 20 details describing the name, up to 14 different colours, prices etc and one image of beads from the details displayed on a form to a report. I have no problem displaying the details of one bead using a combo box but then I want to send these details to a report. After that I select another bead and then want to send these details to the report.
The report is divided into 12 rectangulars to represent 12 sections of a display box. This tells the shop owners which beads to put in which section as display is important for sales. as there wooden beads, glass beads, plastic beads animal beads, letter beads etc, etc.
I have gone into this details so you will understand what I am trying to do. I would be very grateful for help but I am sure will realise that I am technically inept and please when you try to explain things to me to remember you are dealing with an idiot.
I'm trying to transfer records from a table in one subform to another subform (on same form) using a checkbox as a filter:
Private Sub TransferAndReview_Click() Dim db As dao.Database Dim strSQL As String strSQL = "INSERT INTO Forms![Extra Work Report Checksheet]![Equipment Input Subform1].Form[(QuantityUsed[, HoursUsed])] VALUES (QuantityUsed[, HoursUsed]) FROM Forms![Extra Work Report Checksheet]![Equipment Checksheet Table Subform] WHERE [Extra Work Report Checksheet]![Equipment Input Subform1].Form[EquipmentUsed]=True;" Set db = CurrentDb db.Execute strSQL, dbFailOnError End Sub
I keep getting the error "Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement" which points to 'db.Execute strSQL, dbFailOnError' and I don't understand why. Neither of the fields [QuanityUsed] or [HoursUsed] are lookup fields, etc.
