Access Field Types Change When Relinking Data From Sql Server?

Jan 25, 2014

We have been using an Access (Access 2013) program where we link the program to dataviews created in sql server.

Recently we had to re-link the data views because a change had been made to them. When we relinked the data we noticed that the field type for the field used as the primary key changed from "Short Text" to "Long Text". The programmer who created the dataview from sql server said that nothing was done at that end that would have caused the change

I know how to prevent the problem from recurring. We are changing the sql server spec from VARCHAR(8000) to CHAR(20).

Field Types

Sep 10, 2006

I am building a table where one of the fields is a yes/no field type. When the yes box is selected, I need to "jump" to a different set of field names than field names for selecting no. I have researched on internet and have done some reading but have found no information. Is it possible to do what I want to do in Access? My skill level is that I can build tables, create forms, create reports and run simple queries. Any help offered is appreciated.

Apr 12, 2013

I have a database for recording jobs and invoices for our transport company. I was thinking of adding an "Attachment" type field to my invoice table to store pdf's of scanned copies of the delivery notes relating to the invoice. How this will affect the performance of the database? Will adding this field greatly increase the size of the database and slow the whole database down?

Access Data Types

I am trying to do a comparison between two values and am getting the following error:

Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e07'
Data type mismatch in criteria expression.

The code that is creating the error is as follows:

sb = Request.Form("storyboardscreen")

if Not Lcase(Request.Form("AllStoryBoard")) = "all" then
whereClause = whereClause + "theStoryboard = " + sb
end if

I am using the statement to build the where clause of my query. The sb value is retrieved from a pull down menu and "theStoryboard" column is the db is of data type "text". The values stored in the field are 12 digit numbers. I have tried doing a cstr to sb but that doesnt work, any tips on what I am doing wrong? I am using asp with an access db....

Thanks

Hi Everyone,

I have a PO table. Each PO has 3 documents of multiple types (one may be Word, other may be Excel, Acrobat). When I display the PO, the attachments should be shown as Icons, which when double-clicked, will open in its own Application.

I have a pop-up screen where I enter new PO details. In this screen, I have Attach/Detach buttons for each of the Documents.

My Requirement:
When I press 'ATTACH' of Doc1, the File Selection screen should be displayed from where the user will select the file to be attached. This file should be updated into the table field "doc1".

When I press 'DETACH' of Doc1, the file in table field "doc1" must be cleared.

How can I achieve this???:mad:

Modules & VBA :: How To Get ForeignTable Field And Relationship Types Using It

Jul 25, 2014

For reasons I need not get into as it generally proves to be a distraction, I need to document the relationships in databases.

I've been playing around with .Relations with some success.

I can easily get the relationship's name, Table Name, Table Field, and ForeignTable.

Code:
For i = 0 To objDestDB.Relations.Count - 1
With rsMigrateRels
.AddNew
!RelNumber = i
!RelAttributes = objDestDB.Relations(i).Attributes
!RelFields = objDestDB.Relations(i).Fields.Count
!RelFieldsName = objDestDB.Relations(i).Fields(0).Name
!RelForeignTable = objDestDB.Relations(i).ForeignTable
!RelName = objDestDB.Relations(i).Name
!RelPartialReplica = objDestDB.Relations(i).PartialReplica
!RelProperties = objDestDB.Relations(i).Properties.Count
!RelTable = objDestDB.Relations(i).Table
.Update
End With
Next i

However, despite lots of digging into the other properties and attributes associated here, I cannot yet figure out how or where to get the:

ForeignTable field
The type of relationship (1:1,1:many,many:many)

Opening Other File Types From Within Access

Nov 16, 2004

I have a database application that I have to get to display some external PDF files.

I thought that I would create a command buttone and use that to open the files, but that doesn't want to work. Can anyone provide some thoughts on how to open a Word document or PDF file from within an access form? I only need to display it and then close the file so it doesn't have to be anything fancy.

General :: Create A Spec File Or Set Field Data Types

Jan 26, 2014

Looking for a way to use transfertext to make a table and create a spec file from csv files I am importing. I want all fields in the table to be shorttext.

Otherwise I need another way to bring the files into a table.

I have a generic spec to use that brings in any data as text.

Created the spec from a delimited file with 255 text fields... Field001, Field002, etc.

However the field names need to be changed. My field names are in the first row of a table. I will need to read each fields data in the first row and rename the field.

How Do View The Data Types Returned By A Query In Access 2000?

Jun 3, 2005

I am working in MS Access 2000. I have a query that is returning a table with various types of data. The problem is I can't seem to find anywhere in the Access GUI that will show me the data types of columns it has returned so I can't manually create a table to hold the values returned by query. Question is two fold:

1. Is there a way in Access SQL to import data returned from a query into a table that is not yet defined. Some like this:
a. Create a table that has a primary key but doesn't yet know the number of columns and/or data types of those columns.
b. Import the data from a query into this table and have it create the columns and copy the data types and populate the table while also numbering each row by primary key.

or
2. Is there a way to find out what the data types are for a table returned by a query in MS Access. I have checked the properites of the query and have been up and down the gui looking but I can't find a way while looking at the data returned by a query to explicitely see the data type (i.e., number, Date/Time, etc..) used by each column.

Any info would help. Thanks.

Tables :: Access Input Mask For Text Field

Nov 8, 2014

I'm trying to set an input mask for a text field.

The data will be 1 to 4 digits preceded by 1/

I have tried the masks 1/####;; , "1"/####;; 1/####;; , "1"/#### , '1'/#### but none work as if the first nubber entered is a 1 it replaces the 1 in 1/

If it is a 2 then it works fine.

I can set the 1 to and f (f/) and it works no problem.

Tables :: Access 2010 - Calculated Field Cannot Be Created

Feb 22, 2013

I have table of transaction data, I want to count the number of successful customer transactions but the table includes cancelled transactions with a negative value. I was therefore looking to create a new calculated field for customer count which report either "1" or"-1" depending on if the price is positive or negative. The idea being a count of this would give the customer count. The expression I am using is:

IIf([Price]>=0, 1, -1)

The problem is it I get an error message saying "The calculated field cannot be created" "verify that expression "IIf([Price]>=0, 1, -1)" includes fields that exist in the current table"
