How To Change Source Of Linked Tables After Compiling Frond End
Oct 12, 2015
Suppose I have a front end and backend (tables) database which I want to deploye. Currently Access tries to find the backend in the same absolute location (rather than relative position). This causes a problem as drive letters change and sometimes I would want it in a specific location on my computer and another place on deployed computer. Is there anyway to change source of linked tables after compiling to ACCDE

I am using MS Access 2007.
I have created a multi-valued field "Product Category" that lookups data items from a linked table. So, the Data Type for the multi-valued field "Product Category" is Number.
Now I want to change the Data Type of "Product Category" from Number to Text, and make a value list that I can type values in and can provide the same data items as the linked table.
How to change item source for the multi-valued field from a linked table to a list that I can type in values?
Is there a feature provided by MS Access 2007 can enable such a conversion?

I have a linked table and want to change it's data source to another table entirely -- ie: different file name.
Can this be done with linked tables, or can you just link to another file with the same name but in another directory? If linked tables have this limitation, how would you accomplish what I'm trying to do. I want to keep the same name for the linked table.
Ultimately, I want to populate a listbox with the different files in a directory and change tblSource to point at the chosen data source.
Thanks,
Randy

I have heaps of Linked Tables and the main data bases are in My Documents.
My Documents is also the shared name but I need to change it to MyDocuments as the space fouls up some other stuff.
I have a feeling I will need to delete all the linked tables and do it again.:D

I am trying to create a database by compiling records from multiple excel sheets. however, since most of the clients still uses the excel sheets to enter records, I am thinking if it's possible to create a linked table in access from these excel sheets that are hosted on an online server.
also is it possible to merge multiple linked tables together? if they have the same field range, so they will append when the linked tables gets updated.

I have a linked excel table in my database but sometimes because the network is down I am getting "not responding" message from Access if I accidentlaly try to open the linked table while off-line. That does not seem to timeout at all. I am wondering where I can actually set the timeout so Access will not hang trying to get to the linked source?

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.

but i ran in to this problem: the customer data table has customer number as main key. if i make a form all the coloms customername, customer adress, customer streetname, ect get their data from looking up what the customer number is and then getting it from the right colum.
but on the booking form i need to have the data for the companions who are staying at the hotel with the customer too.
the companion has the same coloms as the customer the companions are staying at the hotel too they too are registert in the customer table.
but if i try to copy the customer coloms like customername, customer adress , i dont know how too make it that they look up the companion number and not the customer number.

I have been working on quite a few multi user Access projects in the past few months with a backend and a front end which has linked tables.
I would like to know if there is any way to find out the source of a table linked to the front end and where would its location be on the network.

I have a form that is linked to a query by its Record Source.In one of the Text boxes I want to appear the number of rows in the query where Days = 4 so I thought I would try to use DCOUNT as the Control Source for the Text Box. However every expression I try for DCOUNT throws back error? or name?. How to sort my code?
=DCount("[EPISODEUNIQUEKEY]","1-12 Show Records by Date Range","[Days] = '4'")

I have a main form that has 10 sub forms Each sub form’s record source is link to a different Query.
It takes more then a minute to open the form, (because it’s running the query for all sub forms). So I changed the sub forms source to SELECT * FROM tblTest WHERE false;
I also changed the main form. When the button on the main form is clicked, it’s adding the following:
Me.SubMySub.Form.RecordSource = "select * from qMyQuery"
Me. SubMySub.Form.Requery
However, after I close the main form, the sub form’s record source stays linked to
SELECT * FROM qMyQuery;
And will take the same long time again to open the main form.
Does anyone have any solution?

I have a report with subreports contained in it. Each subreport gets it's data from a different table.
I noticed subreport 1,2,3,4 are pulling the data from their corresponding tables. However, subreport 5,6, and 7 are pulling their data from the table relating to subreport 1.
I've checked the subreports themselves. They are referencing their own tables if I open them individually but not when opening the main report.
The report names all seem to be correct.
I've never seen anything like this before. Does anyone have some ideas??
Thanks.

OK. I have a report that I want to use as a master and use with about 4 different querys. In the report properties I've bound it to a query. I've tried for ages to change the record sources with on click command bottons on another form. I think things have become complicated because there's a subreport on the report I AND a there's bunch of code to make things invisible in the on page event of the report.
anyway, here's what I'm using:
DoCmd.OpenReport "rpt_master", acViewPreview
Me.RecordSource = "qry_rptPrintRollClass"
Is this the right way to do it??
Any ideas on how I can clean it up??
Thanks
Damon

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 Form with a combobox and 3 checkboxes now i want to change the Rowsource of the Combobox by clicking on the checkboxes. When i click the Checkbox the Rowsource gets Changed as i want it but i can not use the new Values cause its giving me the error "The value you entered is not valid for this field"
The Funny thing is its always bound to the type of data i choose first. When i first select the Week i can select only Weeks (17,18,19 etc)
When i choose Day first it only accepts Dates (01.01.2014 etc)There is no Control Source set . And the Bound Column for all Sources is 1
Here the Code
DD_Zeitraum is the Combobox
CB_Day CB_Week CB_Month are the Checkboxes
Code:
Private Sub CB_Day_Click()
If Me.CB_Day.Value = -1 Then
Me.CB_Month = 0
Me.CB_Week = 0
Me.DD_Zeitraum = ""
Me.DD_Zeitraum.RowSource = ""
Me.DD_Zeitraum.RowSource = Dist_Datum
Else
Me.CB_Day.Value = -1
End If
End Sub
[code]...

I have a database with a number of linked tables that are linked to tables in different databases (not a back-end).for example, I have table1 that is linked to table1 in K:databasedb1.mdb.table2 linked to table2 in S:datadata.mdb.and so on...
However, recently we have moved all our databases to a new location.
K:databasedb1.mdb is now residing in O:masterdatabase
and S:datadata.mdb is now residing in O:masterdata
and so on...
I'm now in charge of relinking all those tables to point to the new location.I would do this in linked table manager one by one but we have 100s of tables linked to multiple different databases in different location.is there a way to create a VBA code that will automatically do this re-linking process?
so,
1. find unlinkable tables
2. search its new location under O:master
3. re-link it to the new location
Database names and tables names have not been changed. Just the location of databases.

I have a navigation form that has a tabbed form on one of its tabs. The tabbed form has a 'current client' query record source and allows one to choose from a list of current clients and when a client is selected - details relating to client are displayed on various tabs on tabbed form.
I want to duplicate tabbed form and change record source to a query selecting 'exited clients' so I can see same information but for exited clients.
I have created a new tab on navigation form for my new exited clients tabbed form and changed record source by creating a new exited client query but when I change record source on exited client tabbed form it automatically changes record source of current client tabbed form to the exited client query and visa versa.

I have a tabbed form in a navigation form with a chart on it. The records source of the chart is a query. The query runs when you click the tab and takes a long time. I changed the Row Source of chart to "" and that eliminates the query running on form load. I've read many posts on changing that row source when a command button is clicked. I tried
Code:
Me!Suspend_Trending_Dashboard![chart].RecordSource = suspend_trend_CHART
in the onclick event of the command button. This doesn't work. I've tried many variations of the syntax. I don't know if I have to tell the query to run after the row source is changed.
On a side note, the query criteria is based on beginning and end dates entered into text boxes on the form. This all works if the query loads when the form is opened.

I have 2 identical database in terms of structure but it differs in data.
Basically I would like to import data from subDatabase to mainDatabase and ensuring that there are no duplicate records.
I have used the "link to datasource method" through importing the tables to have the "updating" function.
However, this method also means that the records in mainDatabase are also imported over to subDatabase which I do not want.
Is there a method to ensure that the records are shared/update one way only? (i.e. import from subDatabase to mainDatabase and not main to sub?)

The following code works to change the column header name for a listbox in form view when the data source is a local table, but not when the data comes from a sharepoint list.
Code:
sqlstatement = "SELECT ID, PONum as [PO Number], ActDate as [Date], VendorName as [Vendor Name], Service, BuildingNumber as [Building Number], ReservationDescription as [Description], POAmount as [Amount], QuoteType as [Type of Quote], Comments" & _
" FROM ActivityLog" & _
" WHERE (Activity = 'AcceptReservation') AND (PSCName = '" & Me.PSCCombo4.Column(0) & "')" & _
" ORDER BY ActDate;"
'MsgBox sqlstatement
Me.EditPOListBox.RowSource = sqlstatement
sqlstatement = ""
Also it appears that there is no such thing as a caption property for a sharepoint list column.
