Queries :: Way To Automate / Improve Update Of Query
Apr 13, 2013I have 2 queries to check if there is any "double quote" character in any of 12 month columns in a month table of 125K records. I use 2 queries since the maximun criteria in a query is only 8. So I use 8 criteria in the 1st query then use 4 criteria to check the remaining months in the 2nd query. The month table is refreshed and created every month. The 12 month columns are changing from month to month since they are -13 month to -1 month when the month table is created. For example, if the month table is refreshed and created in May 2013, then the 12 month columns are "May 2012", "Jun 2012" .... and "Apr 2013". If the month table is created in Jun 2013, then the 12-month columns are "Jun 2012", "Aug 2012" .... and "May 2013". The end user has little knowledge of Access Databse so he seems confusing how to update the 2 queries on new month table.I am trying to see if there is a way to use 12 criteria in just one query so the end user only deals with one query's update.If there is a way to automate/improve the update of the queries/query, then it would be the best.

Jun 12, 2006Automate the run of a parameter query
I have a parameter query in ACCESS that generates an ACCESS report for 250 facilities. (Each facility has their own ID of course.) Every other month I need to run this report on all 250 different facilities. Then I give each facility their report by dropping it into an electronic folder.
This is a lot of work. Is there a way that I can automate the generation of these reports? Perhaps somehow pass the ID numbers?
I need each report to continue to be generated as a separate file.

Reports :: Automate Printing From A Command Button With Selected Data From A Query?
Jul 15, 2013How can I automate different printers for different reports on the same MS Access 2007 database, without having to select the printer each time?
There are two reports that are printed on the same database. Previously, I had automated form buttons to print the reports, without having to select the printer each time. This was about 8 years ago, but I don't remember how I did this. Also, I don't know SQL. Nothing against code, but I did not know how to program, and just MS Access 2007 access itself.
Automate XML Export
Jul 11, 2006Hi:
I want to automate the XML export function of Access and not sure if it is possible or how to do it. In going through the menu bar (File ->Export) interface, I must choose the root table, and then subsequent tabbed windows allow one to select what tables to be exported, if I want the schema to be generated, the target filename, etc.
Instead of having to go through this large selection process, I'd like to write a script that I can run consistently over the same tables, produce the same file name, etc. Can anybody provide a suggestion/code/pointer on how to accomplish this? Thanks in advance.

Automate Hyperlinks?
Sep 20, 2006I have a database of chemicals and one of the entries is the MSDS number. I would like a hyperlink, pointing to the .pdf of the chemical, created when I enter the MSDS number. If the MSDS number is 1111 the .pdf file will be something like (\servernamefolder1111.pdf). Is there a way to store \serverfolder in a string, append the MSDS number, and .pdf then store that in a hyperlink field. Any suggestions?

Jun 27, 2007I am trying to automate a report to run at night. I have created a batch file that will run a macro each night. But, when Access starts and loads my database I get a Security Warning [ This file may not be safe if it contains code that was intended to harm your computer]
I have tried to use a Sendkeys command to send an 'O' to go ahead and open the database but it doesnt work.
Also, my report goes to a pdf converter and it asks for a file name. I just want the macro to accept the default and continue.
How do I do this?
Thanks in advance

HELP HELP! Automate Import Of A .csv File
Nov 8, 2005I was working on project that involved writing the data into Access database using a C program. The insert query execution was taking very long, so I decided to write to a .csv file and then import it to one of the desired tables. This worked very fast as compared to directly writing to the DB. Now I want to automate this process. The user should specify the file name at the command prompt and I want to call a script so that the script automatically imports the contents of the .csv file into the access DB. I already have connection established to the DB. All I am looking for is the script that can automatically import the .csv file into access DB. Please help me out. :confused:

Is It Possible To Automate The Following Data Input?
Nov 8, 2006Can anyone please advise how I may be able to achieve the following?
The database in question is used to store info about members of a radio control model flying club.
I have a table (members) containing member’s personal details – names, addresses etc and a second table (club_membership) containing membership info in the Fields – year, membership_cat, insurance_cat. Each member has a record in the second table for each year they have been a member.
To simplify the renewal process (typically most members renew at the same time at our AGM) I would like to use a form which lists all members names with a check box (renew) which is checked if the member renews his/her membership. For every member checked I would like to automatically create a new record in the club_membership table for the next membership year (2007) by copying over values for the fields membership_cat and insurance_cat from their record for the previous year.
Many thanks

Automate Emailing Report
Aug 24, 2006Hi all,
Access 2000
Wondering if there is anyway to setup a report to automatically run and e-mail out at a certain time each day? I currently have a button on a form, based on a macro, that when clicked, will e-mail the report to a certain user. Just wondering if there is anyway to set it to send at a certain time, without having to open the database and manually run it.
Thanks in advance.

Using Criteria To Update Fields In A Update Query
Nov 29, 2006Ok, i have a question about update queries.I have two tables (I'll call table 1 and table two for simplicity) and an update query. I want to get some data from table one to table two (via an update query). But in table two there is a field that isn't in table one but i want to add a value to that field via the query.My question is, can i manually put into the query what data to add to a field instead of/aswell as using data from other tables.I hope you understood my questions.Cheers

Automate Changes Of Fieldnames In Tables/queries
Jan 31, 2008I have a reasonable large dbase with some 12 tables and some 40 Queries.
In three of the tables, there are fields with dubious names like AA1, CD-3, 227, etc.
I want to change these field names to some more appropriate names like : Testblok , Cspeler, Jaarnummer, etc, etc.
In doing so, I will have to go thru each and every Query ( and at a later stage forms/reports) to change the fieldnames in that query corresponding to the changes I made in the initial table field name.
Would there be another way of doing this, i.e. is there a routine for changes made in the fieldnames, being “automatically updated in the table bound query.
Automate Pivot Export To Excel
Aug 8, 2006Hi all, I'm using access 2002. 2002 has pivoting, but in order to use it you have to download an xp add on(at least I did). After I installed the libraries pivots worked for me- and I added all manner of niftyness-before I discovered that no one else in my department could use it without adding the same downloads. So I decided to go with exporting to excel. That opened up a whole new can of worms, but in the end I finally got it working. I just wanted to share what I found with everyone here-maybe the next person won't have to work so hard. This code works from a toolbar button.
Of course if anyone has any suggestions, I'm interested.
