How Do I Create A Link To A Foxpro Table Using OLEDB Provider?
Jul 17, 2006
Hi!
I am a newbie in Access. I am running Access 2003 and would like to be able to create links to Visual Foxpro9 tables using the VFP OleDB provider and not the ODBC drivers.
A few of my clients want to use the VFP9 tables in their reports but so far I have not been able to find a way to do it using OLEDB (except in a module with VBA code which I don't want).
I can do it using the ODBC but the problem is that ODBC driver does not recognise the VarChar fields in the tables.
I tried creating an Access project and then 'File --> Connections' but it does not display the 'Provider' tab to select which provider to use and by default assumes that SQL Server is the source database.
How can I get Access 2003 to allow me to select the OLEDB Provider?
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

I am a newbie when it comes to Access and ASP but I am trying. I am in the need for some help.
I have a large table in Access 2003 and need to break it into smaller tables (not using a query) where the fields are the same except each of the smaller, new tables will hold info for a specific person. These smaller tables would need tro be linked to the larger.
Is there an easy way to do this? I need to keep it in tables due to the ASP software I use to generate the asp pages.
Is this possible?
My goal is for each user to be able to only view/edit their data and for the large table to reflect any changes made to the smaller table.
Thanks,
Dan

Guys, i have a recovered Foxpro table, the problen i have is the numbers have the wrong format. To be exact, 63 should be 0.63, 1200 should be 12.00, 4250 should be 42.50. In other words i need to put in a decimal place two places to the left of each number. How do i do this on import ? Do i have to run a query and make a new table? If so what function and expression do i use?
Many Thanks:)

I am new to using MS Access and I am having a difficult time trying to do one particular thing. What I am trying to do is represented in the Contacts database template in Access 2007. When that database is opened, there is a link labeled as New displayed on the table that opens a form to enter a new record. I cannot figure out how to do that, can anyone help?
Also, is there a way to automatically open a particular form when the database is opened?

I currently have a form in Access 2003 which is filled with quite a lot of data. Each new form need to be approved by some people, and I send them an email through Access to ask it.
Is it possible to have a direct link to the form filled with the particular data they need to approve without creating a website?

I have a Summary report and a detailed report in MS Access. Upon clicking one of the records in the Summary report should open the detailed version for that record only. Lets say the Summary report has a list of employees. Upon clicking an employee record/link in the summary report should open the detailed report containing the details for that employee alone.

Hi,
I have developed a MS Access tool to be used in multiuser environ. In some computers, the tool is working while in some, there is an error message-"Provider not found. May not installed properly". Is it problem with the script or is it that the provider was not installed with MS Office. I have used ADODB connection.

A child in our company can have up to 4 different service providers offering different services at a time. I have to do a report for each individual service provider and there delivered services. The problem is, all the providers and delivered services are listed on one record (the child's record). How do I make a query that will only pull up their delivered services in a record and not the services of the others attached to it? Should I use IIF? If so, what would be a good statement to use? If anyone can help me out, I'd be thankful. Let me know if additional information is needed.

I have a form (frmAddManifest) with a subform (subfrmManifestTransporters).
When creating a new record, I can enter data into frmAddManifest, but the subform doesn't update to link with the record - I presume it's because the record from the main form hasn't been completed yet.
Is there a way to requery the form and/or subform so it stays on the record I was working on, and link the subform properly?

I have a table called providers with the following 3 fields:
Provider ID
Cancellation Reason
Visit ID
Date
It is possible to have multiple instances of the same provider ID, cancellation reason and visit ID on the same date. I'm trying to count just 1 instance based on visit ID if there are multiple instances of the visit ID and reason on the same date. Select distinct doesn't seem to do the trick.

Okay,
First I was thinking to write a little app in Access to work with a DBF file, that I assumed was a DBIII database. It was exported via a 3rd party software, and the primary interface up until this point has been Visual FoxPro. My problem is two fold:
1st:
When I tried to import it as a dBase III file, Access just closed. I mean, disappeared, no longer running, closed. I didn't even get an error message or anything.
So I tried to import via ODBC, using a "Machine Data Source" Microsoft Visual FoxPro Database (or table, either works) and selected the directory of the dbf file and selected the table listed once it scaned the directory and all imported fine.
So: If the Visual FoxPro Machine Data source worked, though I am confused why the DBIII driver just booted me, I am now concerned as to how I would write a connection string via DAO to access that dbf file at run time.
Basically I want to go to a static location on a network and access a dbf file, and perform query manipulations upon it. My connection will be READ ONLY to the actual DBF file and i would subsequently use MS Access to create any other relevant tables/queries based on the table in the dbf file. Since the Visual FoxPro MDS diver worked, do I need to write a connection string to access it, and if so, how would I do that?
Thanks

I am trying to set up something to be able to take me to a folder that holds various forms for personnel. I have a query that generates the link for each person. I have tried to set it up as a hyperlink in ACCESS 2013 and it displays as one but doesn't act like one.
I want to be able to click the link and have it open up a personnel folder for that individual. I can't find a MACRO that I can create to do it. Example of my query is that it creates a link K:Main BreakdownSection BreakdownPersonnel FoldersName and the name is the variable part.
My next problem will be to have it create that folder when we have new personnel arriving.
I would also note that I have not worked with ACCESS in many years and much of what I was able to do with 2002 and 2003 doesn't work with the newer versions of ACCESS.

hi to all,
I have a software which links itself to a fox pro database/tables. Now i want to link some of these free tables or database from fox pro to access. Whenever there is a slight change in the fox pro tables/databases they must reflect directly into access database. Is this possible and how?
thanks,

I'm looking for some sample VBA code that dynamically creates a link to Visual FoxPro 9 table. Our group has a number of end user FoxPro applications, and as FoxPro is reaching the end of its life in January 2015, we need to replace it.
A lot of the processing we do uses tables with a date embedded in the name, e.g. MyData_20131211.dbf. We'd like to be able to let our users to use Access queries that point to these tables without having to manually create the ODBC link each day. Is there a way to set up a link once, then use VBA code to dynamically change the table it points to?
For example, we set up an ODBC link table to MyData_20131211.dbf, and rename the link table in Access to MyData_Today. Then tomorrow, the VBA code would change the link to point to MyData_20131212.dbf.
An alternative would be to dynamically recreate the link each day.
As the tables are large, we don't want to import them into Access if we don't have to.

I have been running queries and reports with data from our company database (a third-party system based on FoxPro2.6) by linking tables into MS Access 97 for years. We have now upgraded to XP and Office 2003, and suddenly I can no longer do this but get a message "Could not find installable ISAM".
I've tried to locate the required file on the Internet but no luck so far. Can anybody help me? I am currently using an old pc with Office 97 on it to run the reports, but it's in a different office location and makes the whole job very tedious. Are there any work-arounds?
Any help much appreciated!

The attached Access XP file demonstrates my problem. I've included a form to make testing easier.
Each record in the Projects table has one or more linked entries in the Keywordlink table, showing keywords that apply to that record. Each record in Projects has a Yes/No 'Utility' field.
A third table, Keywords, supplies the keywords that the user can apply to records in Projects, using the subform on the main form. The Keywords table also includes a True/False 'Utility' field. I have set this to True for for the first three keywords.
I need a query, a series of queries or some VB code that updates Projects_Utility for all records to True if and only if the record's linked entries in Keywordlink include all of the keywords for which Keywords_Utility is True (a boolean 'and', as opposed to an 'or'). Otherwise, Projects_Utility must be set to False.
In the attached file, with the current settings in the Keyword table, the 'GetSelectedProjects' query should then produce single-row listings for ClientA and ClientF.
I'd appreciate any help you can give me on this. I'm not a programmer, but I can manage a bit of VB code if I have to.

I have a table "Product" and in this table I have two fields "StoragePlaceID1" and "StoragePlaceID2". Both these fields link to the look-up table "StoragePlace"
*Attached Image "Product_StoragePlace" from the Access Relationship Window"*
When I want to add a new Product from my inter face i get the error you can see in the Attached Image "Save_Error".I think the problem is that the Relationship is defined as One-to-Many,there a way to define the relationship as Zero-to-Many.

Question is there anything I can do or is it the fact that these are options were not installed and it is an administrators job?
