I have separated my application logic (forms, VBA code, queries) from my data and am unable to open my form. The form is in file DbAppl.mdb and the table is in file DbData.mdb. Any ideas? Thanks.
View RepliesMy .mdb file was getting too large (500+ mb) and taking a long time to compress, so I separated my application logic (forms, modules, queries) from my data (tables) and now I'm unable to open my form because it can't find the table it's based on. The form is in file DbAppl.mdb and the table is in file DbData.mdb. I thought I could point my form in the one mdb file to the table in another by putting ME.RecordSource = C:xxxDbData.mdb in the Open Form event, but I can't seem to get it working.

Anyone know how to do this?
I'm working pro bono on an Access db system for a wildlife hospital. We need to be able to record from the system how many patients (animals) we have every night. We have a form that shows the number of animals in-house as we admit and discharge animals, but I need to be able to record the result of the form's Count() function in a Table whenever we open the "In-house" Form. I want to have a Table showing the time the Form was opened (easy!) and the number of patients then in-house. But recording the Count function always produces 0 of course. I need a function that will record (when the form is opened) the number that the Count() function shows!
View 11 Replies View RelatedI've got the forms and queries in one .accdb file and my tables in a separate .accdb file. The forms file links to the tables in the tables file. The tables file resides in a folder called simply enough C:acc_tables and thats where i browsed to (obviously) when i set up the linkage.
One of the users does not wish (for whatever goddamn reason) to create a C:acc_tables file to stick the tables file in , and wants the tables file in some other folder.. Unfortunately this user does not have the skills to delete the existing links and re-link to the tables file after putting it in the folder he wants.
Where in the file that holds the forms and and queries do i find the path setting to the tables linked file? Can it be changed without deleting links and then re-linking?
Is it possible to have a command button on a form to run the Text File Import Into a Table Wizard?

:)Hello,
I have one Access table called plan_location where it contains the following columns: shape_id (number), seqnum (number), xcoord (number) and ycoord(number). The shape_id is a individual number for each planname, the seqnum is the number of points in the plan and the xcoord ycoord indicate the x,y location on the ground.
See example:
shape_idseqnumxcoordycoord
700609719.4294818231.424
701609745.694818251.119

7013609729.6864818214.026
7014609720.4294818240.424
In the above example, although this is only one plan of thousands, the xcoord/ycoord value for seqnum=0 is not the same as the xcoord/ycoord value found in seqnum=14, thus this indicates an error.
I need to find a way to isolate those shape_id's with the beginning seqnum of 0 that is not the same as the highest seqnum of 14, in this case. The seqnum can range from 0 to any number, depending on the number of points.
If the seqnum of 0's xcoord/ ycoord values to NOT match the highest seqnum's xcoord/ycoord values, I need to find a way to insert the next highest seqnum and add the same xcoord/ycoord values found for seqnum = 0
How can this be done?
Thanks in advance..........CementCarver:confused:
Not sure how this is done..............
Hi All.
This may be a bit of a strange one, but was wondering if anyone had any ideas.
I would like to create a db which is a bit like the directions bit of multimap.co.uk
As per the attached jpg, i would like a db so I can input a starting box and end box, and it would tell me the shortest distance, longest distance, route via boxes etc.
e.g
Box A as start and Box F as end. Shortest route is via Box D, longest route via boxes B and C etc.
The db would obviously not for measuring distances between boxes!!!....but thought this may explain it.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Frank.
Not sure what this covers so if someone could point me in the right direction, so I can get started.
I want to do a search of customers through a button on a form with names, and there you get a list of customer that match your criteria. When you click or double click on that customer you get sent to the main form with all the customer details on it.

Hello all,
I am currently working on an sql query to find employees which handled more orders than average in a certain half year. For arguments sake the half year is august-dec1997. I will use two queries, one to calculate COUNT and one for the avg:
So far I have the COUNT query sorted:
SELECT Employees.EmployeeID, Count(Orders.EmployeeID) AS CountOfOrders
FROM Employees, Orders
WHERE (((Employees.EmployeeID)=[Orders].[EmployeeID]))
GROUP BY Employees.EmployeeID;
However, I am uncertain how to proceed from here and find the >AVG part of this query. Any help would be appreciated- thankyou :o
To add to this I think the next table should be like this:
SELECT qrycountOfOrders.EmployeeID, Employees.FirstName, Employees.LastName, qrycountOfOrders.CountOfOrders,
WHERE
FROM qrycountOfOrders, Employees
WHERE qrycountOfOrders.EmployeeID = Employees.EmployeeID;
But I am unsure where to put the >=AVG...
My Access DB is built and works great. All problems that I have seem to revolve around the 2 tables that I link to Excel spreadsheets. The spreadsheets come from downloads. The problems are:
Can't format fields in a linked table. and the download comes unformatted.
Can't make DB Multi-User because the Linked Spreadsheets restrict access to more than one user at a time.
Is it possible (Practical) to build a macro that would access the spreadsheet on a regular basis and import it (Overwriting the previous data in the table) into Access?
I would really appreciate anyone that has a solution. I am ready to pull out the last 3 hairs I have on my head.
Dont use access much but I have basic db dev. skills. That said, here's my dillema:
I have a front desk entry form fro service calls. There is a entry field for customerID. I would like to auto populate f_name, l_name etc... from just entering customerID. I know what I would do in an SQL situation, but how does that transfer over to access? Any help would be great. Thanks.
Hello,
I have a lot of values that look like this: 0.524, 0.673, and 0.398. I hate to look at these numbers with the zero before the decimal point and would like to find out how to remove them. I know that it's possible in Excel, but I'm not sure of how to do it in Access.
Is this possible?
Thanks
I am working on a database that tracks things for a welding shop. Because of this I am using heights in millimeters and decimal points are necessary. The page I am using is an input form with a subform tied to a specific record. I can under no circumstance get my decimals to stay put in the input form or in the table. I have tried changing to decimal and putting the decimal to two and the precision to five, long integers with decimals to 2. Formatting with #.## so it maintains it in the text box... but nothing has worked. Has anyone run into this problem?
Thanks
Riley
When created a query how do you change the decimal point,
There are many and i want a single one.
Does anyone know how to force a listbox to display an additional level of accuaracy in a listbox which displays a value based on an expression in a querry? My querry displays the value to 4 decimal point but my listbox only diplays the value to 2 decimal point.
Thanks!

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a table with the numbers formatted as example 9999,99. My mysql database i'm exporting to uses the point as decimal sign. Can I change my query so it outputs the decimal sign as point instaed of a comma?
In my international setting decimal is a comma and should stay a comma.

ok.. this is not a hugely important issue, however.. it is a slight annoyance that i would like to resolve if it is possible..most of my currencies will be whole numbers like twenty pounds or five pounds..so i chose to set the decimal point to 0 which displays it like this..£50which is better then setting it on auto (£50.00) which my user does not like..(uneccessary zeros)however.. every now and then there will be a carpark cost of £2.30..if i set the decimal point to 0 then £2.30 will display as £2 which is no good.. if i set the decimal point to 1 then it will display it as £2.3 which is no good..so is there a way to make sure that all currencies display as decimal point 0 values.. eg £34.. £2.. £145 and if a price happens to involve some pence.. such as two pounds 30 pence.. then display it as £2.30 or £103.55... etc....i hope that is clear
View 4 Replies View RelatedFeel free to pick on me. I can't get syntax right. Ever. So when I can't figure it out I just try to find an example of what I want to do and use it as a guide. But I've not been able to find a single example (and I looked at a lot of threads and the *shudder* help files) of using "OR" in a DSum within a single field. Here is a simplified version of my statement:
=DSum("[Contribution_Amount]","tbl_CONTRIBUTION","[Employee_ID] =" & Forms!frmNew_Contribution!Employee_ID & " and [Special_Case] Is Null")
This works perfectly. I want it to look like this:
=DSum("[Contribution_Amount]","tbl_CONTRIBUTION","[Employee_ID] =" & Forms!frmNew_Contribution!Employee_ID & " and [Special_Case] = 'stringABC' or Is Null")
But this errors. And I've tried every combination of ' " () & # I can think of and everything errors, unless I completely set the OR apart into a new criteria, in which case it executes but produces results that are not what I'm trying to get. It also works if I add "= 'stringABC'" and remove the IsNull. I just can't seem to have both. Does anyone know how to write this properly?
