Anyone can help me how to link fields in different tables. Im creating a databse that has an ID. and that ID will be same with the ID on the other table.
Table 1
ID = 123
Table 2
ID = link to (Table 1 ID) and when i input characters on the Table 1 ID field it will appear or inputed also at Table 2 ID field.
Hope some ideas. Thanks

Hi
Can you tell me if the following is possible and if so how to do it.
I have several different tables which require a date to be entered.
99% of the time this date is the same ie
(Table 1) Visit Date = (Table 2) Scan date 1
(Table 1) Visit Date = (Table 3) Scan date 2 etc.....
However in some cases Scan date 1 and/or Scan date 2 may not be the same as Visit date so the input does need to be editable.
Is there anyway I can link the information in Table 1 to automatically be displayed and stored in Table 2/3 and to be able to edit Tables 2/3 if the scan date is different to the visit date which it could be for a small number of records.
Is this possible or is it simply impossible to do this.
Thanks for any advice.
What I have is a table ('tblJobLog') with our main listing in it where we add customer job information as it comes in. The 'Customer Name' is a dropdown list that links to our table 'tblCustomers' so that we can ONLY select a customer name that we deal with. The alternative is to add a customer or list them as COD.
Now this is where I would like to target, the COD's. We still like to keep a record of who the COD is and we have some common customers that are listed as COD only.... So when we go to enter the customer name we have to put COD and in the description we are suppose to input the customer name (We will says RandyShop <--- me, for now).
What I would like to have done, if possible, is to see when we select 'RandysShop' from the dropdown, it checks to see if the COD Status (in the 'tblCustomers' table) is set to YES (its a check box, or YES/NO field). If it is set to YES (or selected) then the change the name shown in my main 'tblJobLog' to look something like COD: RandysShop.
The reason I would like, if possible, to do it this way, is because some customer go on and off COD regularly as the mess around with payment. So instead of creating a new customer that is listed as COD: RandysShop to have access do the leg work based on a simple YES/NO field (COD Status).

Table 2. Auto ID; Surname, First name, Patients ID;----other not common fields.

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.
I am splitting a database and have created the Back end already. When I create the front end and link to the tables on the back end... The front end does not link to all the tables in the back end. The list that comes up when creating the linkings does not show all the tables in the back end. What would cause this?

View 6 Replies View RelatedSo I have a table "InventoryTracker", with one field lookup set to list (drop down) and the source is another table "inventory", field "Item". This works good and all the items that I enter in the "inventory" table are available from the "InventoryTracker" table. Both "inventory" and "InventoryTracker" have a field called price.
Heres what I want to have happen.
When I select a item from the drop down list menue in "InventoryTracker" it automatically fills in the "InventoryTracker" price based on the price from the "inventory" table (for the item with the same name, the one I just selected). This has to be fairly straitforward, I can do it in excell, but not acess.

Good Afternoon to all...
I am looking to link more than one field from my subform to my main form. I have one field linked by properties (link child field/link master field). Is there a simple way to link another field from my subform to my main form?
Please Help??? Cori
I need help! I've set up a database with a subform that worked until recently. I get an error message that says: The LinkMasterFields property setting has produced this error:'Invalid outside procedure'
I had added a date and time stamp for when something gets modified it changes the date/time. I even backtracked and took all that out from tables, forms, queries etc. but the error keeps appearing when I'm trying to update my subform.
Thanks,

This is my first attempt with cascading combo boxes (2) and with the help of the forum I've made it work BUT, I feel like an idiot because I'm drawing a complete blank on how to link them back to a "main" data table.
The example I used as a reference was to create them as unbound boxes while using queries to pull for each of the combo boxes. I have 4 tables. One will serve as the main table while 3 others are each feeding one of the combo boxes. I went back and set the main table as the record source and added some of the other fields but those unbound fields have me stumped.
If anyone recognizes an earlier post that clarifies this, please let me know. I've looked through numerous posts but haven't found one yet.
Just like everyone else, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know how to link tables automatically/VBA?
I'm trying to import files from our DB2 database in which one file is created monthly and instead of manually importing / linking the files manually, I'm looking to have access link to the new file automatically.
The file names are structured as so..

Hi All
I enter data in a form "WIP" that is based on a table named "WIP" in the form I have a command button. When I activate the command button it takes me into another form "Materials" which is based on a table named "Materials".
The data that I enter into "Materials" is not linked to the data ie Customer details which I have entered into "WIP".
My aim is to be able to report the materials used.
I have tried variations of relationships but am obviously missing something.
Thanks in Advance

I have a database with software
ID: autonumber
Name: text
Version: text (some say Beta etc)
Possibly 200 pieces of software
I have a database of computers
ID: autonumber
RoomName: text
ComputerName: text
Description: text
I want to link them so a computer can have up to 200 pieces of software in it or just one piece.
I dont want a table with 200 boolean fields although thats how i will end up doing it if i cant any other way.
Chances are each computer will have about 20 - 30 bits of software installed and therefore the table shouldnt need to be huge.
Anyone have any ideas how i can link these and keep the second table small. Surely i can say Computer [2] has software installed [2, 4, 5, 28, 224] but i dont know how to.
Thanks

I have a spilt database and both ends sit on a server. The front end has a short cut on the desktop from five machines.
On one machine I can access the backend but it i try and relink the tables, the linked table manager is empty and i cannot and the "always prompt for new location" option is not available so i cannot even do it individually that way.
Any suggestions of why this would be? Is it a security user issue (though i haven't specifically set up any user or workgroup securities)
I have even tried holding down the Shift key and that doesn't work!!
Thanks
I have an address field containing "City", Street Name, and street Address. How do I link these fields together on a form so that when I enter data into the "City" field the rest of the fields making up the address fills in?
View 7 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to unlink and link to tables in a back end using VBA in the front end?
I need to do this or something similar because when I send updates of the front end out I may have added an extra table and thus want to be able to get the user to run an update module to link any new tables.
Not sure if this is at all possible???
Any ideas???
Is it possible to retrieve table information from an external Access db. Then append chosen tables to the current access db by linking them?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI would like to link to a table that is not in the same workgroup as the database I am working in.
Both databases are from different departments - I only want read rights to the linked table to run queries against some data in my database. I have access to the database I am trying to link to - but have not been able to figure out a way to do this?
Hey everyone I'm new here but pretty familiar with Access etc. I am extrememl;y stumped on this and I have never attempted this so any answers and details would be helpful. As we all know this is a learn new things as you develop type of application or at least for me.
I have a database that exists in one building and is functionnig fine using linked tables (File/Get External Data/Link Tables) but I now need to make this same application work for multiple locations which each have its own tables that are seperate from each other location. I was thinking a Main form that opens with radio buttons and based on the one you select would determine which tables it would be linked to when it opens. I figured Radio1 be SEDC, Radio2 be SWDC.
I have a database I have setup as a storage database for just the tables for each location that are on different servers in each location to increase traffic speeds.
Example:
SEDC (RadioButton1)
SEDC Database is located on a erver with 50 different tables in it "//sedc1/data/shared/warehouse/SEDC Warehouse.mdb"
SWDC (RadioButton2)
SWDC Database is located on server with same tables in it but different data for that location "//swdc1/data/shared/warehouse/SWDC Warehouse.mdb"
So on So on...

I have 2 tables, an Oracle source table and an Access table. The data in the Oracle table has Item names, however they tend to end with month and date and other misc info. I set up the Access table with the cleaned up versions of the Item names (took out the excess crap) to be able to set up a query that would pull in data from the Oracle table that had Item descriptions Like the descriptions in the Access table. That is working great, however, i would also like to pull in another field from the Access table to categorize these items in to groups. Once I do this, each record shows up 4 times (the number of categories that exist). How do I link these tables to allow me to do this? None of the standard link types work since the fields are not equal but are Like each other.
