How To Transfer Record(s) To Another Database

Apr 3, 2006

Hi,

I work in a hospital where each ward has its own identical but UNLINKED staff database. I wanted to make a single database but the management was adamant that for confidentiality they should each be standalone. I lost this argument!

Data is stored in 7 tables: Identity, annual leave, sick leave, qualifications, etc.

Too late, someone has realised that staff may transfer from one ward to another, so the whole record needs to be transferred. What's the best way to do this?

So far the process I have come up with is:
Choose the person you wish to export from the source database
Run 7 queries to export the records from the various tables e.g. to Excel
Create linked tables in the target database to pick up these records
Run import queries.

I set up a macro to run the 7 export queries, using the "OutputTo" action and specifying .xls for the output format. But the files created don't appear to be readable by Access. In Explorer, they only have the Windows icon and are just "files".

Does anyone know a better way to tackle this problem?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Pat.

Transfer Database

Nov 29, 2007

Im stuck on a project that I have received help on before. I am trying to E-Mail a daily report created by a macro in Access 2000. It needs to go out as an excel spreadsheet, but in a format that can be opened in a Blackberry. The advise i was given was to use Transferdatabase. This is where i become unstuck. No matter what I type where i come unstuck. Is there anyone out there that can possibly advise me what to do in "idiot proof" steps?
Im afraid my knowledge of Access is limited to 2 weeks self taught knowhow ?

Database Transfer And Date Probs!

Aug 8, 2005

Hi,

We've got a database that was on an old computer (Windows 98), and we wanted to transfer this database to our new computers (Windows XP). The database transfers over fine, but there seems to be a problem.

When we try to run a report, it doesn't semem to work properly. We are a training agency and the report in question is designed to show the courses booked in for each tutor between two set dates. The dates are typed into a form (start date and end date), and the tutor can also be selected from this form, and then a report is generated.

Without dates being inputted, all the courses are shown (so the report is pages and pages long). This is working ok. However, when dates are inputted the report stops working and error messages appear on the report. Hence it seems to be a problem with the dates, but I can't understand what since all the boxes are exactly the same as the version on the other computer, and when transferred back to the other computer it also works fine.

Any help with what could be going wrong here would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Chris (FANE).

General :: How To Transfer Data From One Database To Another

Oct 30, 2013

I recently designed a new database according an old database in order to replace it. I found that I have trouble transferring the data from old to new database.

Only transferring data from one table to another

Database A: [table]![customer]
to
Database B: [table]![Client]

Field name on both are different

DatabaseA:
Table Customer:
Name,
PhoneNumber,
e-mail.

DatabaseB:
Table Client:
FullName,
HomePhone,
CellPhone,
E-mail.

How can I transfer from "Database A/table customer" to "Database B/table Client"?

Access Record Transfer To Excel

Aug 8, 2006

Hey all,

Just a quick question to see if something is possible or not.

Basically i have a form which the users record errors which have happened with deliveries of our product and have to select the reason why this happened. What i have been asked to do is when the users are entering the reason 'incorrect address', they want to be able to click on a button and everything which they have entered for that record are appended to an excel spreadsheet. The are currently entering it twice...once in my database and once in a spreadsheet and they just want to reduce their workload.

This transfer of data is only needed when that specific reason is chosen from my combo box, no other reason. I don't have much knowledge of Excel, i was just wondering if this type of thing wa possible and if anyone could put me in the right direction. I have had a search for my problem, but havn't found anything similar to my pro. yet.

we have got a table with the vehicle details with a sub forms (main Vehicle Details, Subform Booking details)

we cannot allocate a car until a week previous to the dates required.

we are using a recored (To booked) that we can store all the dates in, the idea really is to have a button we can click that brings up the parameter requesting the REG PLATE for the car that when entered will cut and copy the booking details from the NOT BOOKED into the corrosponding vehicle is this possible?

I dont mind a button beside each record in the sub form but really needs to cut + copy the fields beside it

Field Names are:
FirstName

Two Tables Setup - Transfer A Record Between Two

Aug 29, 2015

I have two tables set up and am trying to transfer a record between two. I understand that the best method is to maintain one table and use fields to make the record appear in either based on the field but at the moment need to maintain the two until I have more time to merge etc.

I am receiving the following error:
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'Cardsmaintainedbyfacilities.33CAccessCard'.

Code:
Private Sub Command151_Click()On Error GoTo Err_Handler
Dim strSQL As String
strSQL = "INSERT INTO ExitingStaffData (ExitingStaffID, ExitingStaff , SupervisorDetails , ExecAccessCard , IDAccessCard , 33CAccessCard )"
strSQL = strSQL + " SELECT Cardsmaintainedbyfacilities.id, Cardsmaintainedbyfacilities.ExitingStaff ,

[Code] ....

Works fine for all other lines (especially when I delete the line from the code). Just gets stuck on that line. I have checked both tables and the table and all associated data match - its a yes/no data type (same as Execaccesscard and IDCard). Just that one line crashes.

General :: Transfer Tables Directly To Backend Database?

Mar 12, 2013

I'd like to to import some large oracle tables from a remote server using "DoCmd.TransferDatabase..." on a daily basis. Currently, the system works, but my database is getting quite large (800 Mb) and I'd like to split off the tables to a back end database.

Is there a way to import directly to the back end database? The postings that I've seen seem to imply that one must first import the tables into my front end, then export them into the back end. Does that sound correct?

I'm at home right now, but will give it a try when I get to work. It just seems like there's got to be a more direct way!

Forms :: How To Transfer Information From Current Record Into A Subform

May 8, 2013

I have a form which contains a subform. On this subform, the user will enter several lines of container ID numbers. If one of these containers has errors, they check a yes/no box and a pop up form opens for them to enter the details of the errors.

I want two fields that are populated on the subform to transfer information to the corresponding two fields on the pop up form. This works when only one container ID has been added to the subform. However, when there are multiple containers in the subform and the container with the errors happens to be the second or third record on the subform, the pop up form always transfers the information from the first record to those fields.

I also have the subform requerying when the check box is checked so that the information saves to the table and the focus does stay on the correct record but the pop up form still opens with the wrong information.

how to transfer the information from the record that the user is currently on?

Reports :: Transfer Sub Total To Next Page And Limited Record

Mar 13, 2014

As you 'll see my files, have one report into my database and i need to print it like in the SHEET SAMPLE Word document. My problem is how can I force the record excess, for example the 10 at the footer to print "In tranfer" with the sub total in previous! and in the next page to print the continuous sub total (From transfer) at the place of the 11th record meaning the first row on the detail of report and to continue on the last page to print in the last row the grand total (TOTAL).2nd problem is when the record for example is 2 to continue to print blank row to the last one and print the grand total (TOTAL).

P.S.1 I have posted it and the original sheet as it must be on print in, Excel file and it is important to print it with gridlines.

P.S.2 As you try to open the database please ignore the message saying the start form is missing

Transfer Of A Value

Jan 27, 2005

You'll have to forgive me I kinda new at this. I have a form with a non linked subform on it. The main form has one control on it called CustomerID, the subform's record source is from a select query that is updated by a cmdButton on the main form. The cmdButton runs an update query. One of the controls in the subform is called CustomerID, this control has no other purpose than to hold the same value that the main forms control (CustomerID) has. I want the cmdButton's OnClick event to transfer the value from the mainform CustomerID and place it into the subform CustomerID. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

How To Transfer Data

Sep 8, 2005

Hi there,

This is my problem i am going to try and explain myself as clearly as possiable hopefull you will be able to understand me.

When i enter my data bank through Access, a mask opens or is it a form i am not too sure but i have sent an attachment with the sceen image.

Lets say i am looking for the data of John. I click on search and i find him. Now my Mask or form has sub forms in them for diffent information, i have made a large red circle on the attached picture to show what exactly i am talking about. These sub folders contain information such as gernerall information, bussiness information etc.

All this information ... data is part of john 's dataset or data record. SO what i want to do is take his data all of it and send it to john himself and he then can edit it and send it back to me and i want to check it and if i am satisfied with the data i can update the new information automatically into my database. and i want to beable to edit it myself too. i want all his data to be like a data book of john. The editing can take place it any problem such as Accesss itself or word or excell i just wan to be able to edit and transfer my data without damaging or loosing information.

My probles are as follows:

1) how to send john's information all of it
2) how to add it back to my database both automacticly and manuelly
3) how to edit his data as a whole, not bits and pices. as if it was one long report.

Thanks i hope i was clear enough

Data Transfer

Jan 24, 2007

Evening Gents.

I've created a database which is going to need a fair amount of data uploading into it (a long laborious procedure).

My initial plan to cut the work load for one person was to create 2copies of the database and split the upload in half (get two people to do it).

However, one of my tables is a parent to around 4 childs, therefore when i copy the information from this parent table in datasheet view from one db to another, it doesnt transfer it's associated data.

Is there anyway to get around this? Any advice/tips/hints would be much appreciated

(hope this has made sense, please let me know if clarification is needed)

Transfer Data DB To DB

Dec 14, 2007

I need to set up an automated process to transfer data from about 25 tables from one database to another. This will happen on a weekly basis and I'm wondering what the best way to set this up is.

Both are Access 03 db files. The main database has data for a dozen or so clinics and I need to get the data for one clinic out and in to the the secondary db. The data in the secondary db will be replaced every week with fresh data from the main db. Once it is refreshed with new data the clinic will download the db from our site.

My first thought is to just export queries to CSV files and then import them in to the secondary db file. If run from a macro it could be a scheduled task. I could then import the CSV files. This could also be automated with a macro.

Any other ideas.

Transfer To New PC Gives OLE Error

Jun 5, 2006

I've transferred a database to a new PC, with Office 2002 installed.

The forms hold some text data and a photograph.

The database loads and displays correctly.

But I cannot add a new photograph. I get a message something like: Microsoft Access cannot get the OLE something-or-other. Sorry for the lack of detail, but I'm sending this from another PC.

Is there something (on Disc 2 of Office 2002?) that I need to install after I've installed Access & the rest of Office? Should I have opted for a full installation?

After much messing around, I got rid of this error - but still no photo. Instead, the filename of the photo is displayed in the window where the photo should be.

Please help!!!

Transfer Spreadsheet

Jul 27, 2007

I have a database scheduled to run nightly. In this database I have a macro that runs a macro. I want one of the arguments to export "T_Update_Log" from the database to an excel file as part of it's nightly macro. When I use "Transfer Spreadsheet" in my macro, it creates a new worksheet in my excel file each night (for example: T_Update_Log1, T_Update_Log2, etc) Instead, I want it to overwrite existing one.

I have also tried "Export" command, but that throws a prompt asking if I want to overwrite the existing excel file. I cannot have any message prompts during my nightly task or else it will stop the whole process. Setting the Warnings to No does not stop this particular message prompt.

Thoughts? Thanks in advance!
