I need to import the data from one database into another everytime a form opens, I have some code which works:
Function GrabAccessTable()
DoCmd.TransferDatabase transfertype:=acImport, _
databasetype:="Microsoft Access", _
databasename:="\triggerwwwroot$AW@RDAW@RDOnline.mdb", _
objecttype:=acTable, Source:="Main", _
destination:="Table", structureonly:=False
End Function
The problem is that it won't surrently write it into an existing table, I want it to write into a table called Table (stupid choice of name I know....) but instead it creates a new table calle Table1.
I have an inventory database i am working on but am too new to access to know all the inner workings. Quick summary of what I need to accomplish: I have a databse with several tables each representing different types of parts that we sell. Each table is similar in that the primary key for each is the part#, beyond that though the different types of parts have different specs that go with them. (example: for enclosures, the dimensions are needed but the amperage is not, for circuit breakers the opposite would be true.)
Next I have an inventory table, each record has a unique Control number that we assign as the primary key, then just a part #, notes about its condition (some parts are used) , a shelf location, and a price and date.
I have a very small sample database that i can email to anyone interested in looking at it.
Basically what i think i need to come up with is form that has several aspects to it. A user enters a "CATALOG NUMBER" into a combo box at the top of the form. tabbing out of that field then shows the specs of that catalog number below. the problem is the part numbers would come from a number of tables like the BUS PLUGS, MCCB'S, ENCLOSURES tables, all of which have different types of data. Finally, at the bottom of the form would be a result of a search through the INVENTORY table returning the multiple lines of line by line data where the CATALOG NUMBER matches the one specified above to show the records with the same catalog number but different notes, prices and different shelf locations. anyone care to take a look?
Hi, can anyone help? Like an idiot I veered away from my intention to put a password on an Access database which holds only a table and a few queries and explored other security options. I now cannot get in to the database at all and get a message telling me that I do not have the necessary acces srights and to consult my administrator. When I look at the properties, I am shown as the administrator, which makes sense but despite trying various, desperate things, I cannot get back in to take the security off. Needless to say I did not create a copy first, so have learned a lesson the hard way. Any advice gratefully received.
I just finished building my database and i have to install it on a PC. my problem is how to remove access tool bars and menues so that the only thing that appears when you open the databse is the login screen? I don't want the user of the database to be able to go to design view and change the design of the forms or the reports. I want the user to see and be able to interact with the login form and the switchboard. I wanna also know how can i install the databse on the PC. do i just copy it and paste it or is there any way else?
Hello everyone! I am completely new to MS ACCESS, so this problem might be fairly simple but yet it is eating my head.So if I get some directions it will be greatly helpful and appreciated. Description: The bakery buys ingredients from number of suppliers, makes a several kinds of cakes and sells to few shops. There are about seven ingredients in the first week with the possibility to add new in ingredients later on. There’s a catch though; on any day, only a single type of cake is made, in a single batch and all of them must be delivered before the next day’s cake are finished. It is necessary to be able to rack the ingredients used in a batch back to the suppliers. I have made tables for suppliers, ingredients, orders and order line (with fields ordereId, ingredientId, quantity, unit price). Forms that allowing users to allow new ingredients types, suppliers, and new order for ingredient are required which I have made. These forms are to be used to add the data for which ingredients are needed in the second week of baking. So these are my questions on which I am stuck in
1. Do I need any more Forms or do I need to edit my form? 2. Is it okey to put table as the data source or would it be better to place a query? 3. How do I keep records of my earnings and expenditure, expenditure and keep them updated with my databases? I hope you will understand that I am completely new to these topics and its really hard for me to grasp them all at once. Merely some guiding points will be of great help. Thank you. 6pandn21
I thought I new enought about access databases. I've used the Time & Billing database as a template for my sister to use, but her partner uses a MAC. How can I get the MAC to access the database? I believe the MAC can use Excel but how can I link these two, if at all.

I created a Contact database where I have the date and time as two separate fields in one of the tables. I have them defined as such, but would prefer that the fields wait until I enter data into them and not auto fill with the current information. Is there a property of these fields I can set so that these fields do not get auto filled? Again this database is too large to send, so I hope that you can help without it.
When I bring back my access 2003 project from work back home, i open the project at home, I am using access 2002 or 2000 format.
Then I notice if I save a copy of my work using access 2002, while initially using an access 2003 database, the file size decresaseas dramatically, from like 3mb to 800 kb?
I am in the process of trying to create a DragNDrop feature in the Access database that I've built. I have 3 employee with several different txt boxes all side by side and I need to be able to drag and drop the job from one to another.
I need to create a class module to do this but my problem is I don't know how.
Hi I have an access database called contact.mdb and I have linked to it just fine and used the records held in it to populate a datagrid and can update and delete records.
I don't understand databases that much but I would like to read the values into a drop down menu which are held in the field 'ID' from a table called 'courses'. I have a feeling it is something to do with data sets but am not too hot on these either. Any pointers or code would be gratefully received.
A common tip on this forum to reduce a db FE is to create a new db and import in from the original. Easy. Now I have done this and on navigating through the new db have no trouble when new. I then put in the start up form and close it. On start up again I get the following message. "Error accessing file. Network connection may have been lost". When trying to view any VBA coding the same message appears. All tips or directions to other treads welcome.
I imported a database designed several years ago into Access 2003, but all that I got was the tables. Is there a way to get the reports, queries, forms, etc? Thank for all the help.
I have an xml from the powers that be in IT: can post it here if anyone wants, but it's quite big. Tried to import it into Access 2003, no joy. Than I realised that it it's almost certainly attribute-centric.

And so I need to create a template to make it look normal. although they give an example on the microsoft page, it's bespoke to the xml they create from Northwind and i'm struggling to write a template from scratch.
The xml appears to have tables embedded and all sorts, it's not just a flat file structure....
Hi, I want to automatically import an .xml file into a table that i have in my .mdb. Is this possible and if so, how do I do it? If you could point me in the right direction that would also be great.
I am trying to import into a table a very large text file that has information dumped into it every morning from a daily import.
I am building a database that is also using the same information but on a stand alone database and was curious to know if there is a way to link the txt file to a table so every morning that the new info is imported it will just automatically dump into the table.
I have filling this is not since it is a txt file and I will need to just setup a custom menu button that when pressed does the import into the table, but I was hoping it would be as simple as a link.
When importing excel spreadsheets to access, I am getting the message subscript it out of range. What do I need to do in order for the spreadsheet to be imported?
My boss and I were trying to import some data from a .txt file there is a deliberate mistake and we were trying to get a input mask/validation rule to stop that particular record
I'm having trouble with a DB that I've been using for four years in a multi-user environment. (Windows XP; Access 2000; Novell Network) Started with one user as she got a new WinXP PC (had Win2K - not totally convinced that she didn't have the problem before the new PC); she wasn't able to do a keyword search - it would bring up every record, but other users were fine. Then, it started to do it on my PC as well (WinXP - even though I had my XP for a year longer), but other users are still fine. My code still looks fine, and apparently works for others. So, thinking there may be some corruption going on, I decided to create a new DB and import in tables, queries, forms, reports, and modules. Only three of 20 forms show up as options to import and only a portion of the reports show up. All the tables and queries appear. When I go back to the "faulty" database, the forms are there and do work from my "menu form". Then, I tried compacting the "faulty" database, but I don't get the message in the lower left saying it is compacting; the hourglass comes up, then the DB opens - the size stays the same. So, I don't think it is compacting.
Any ideas ????
Thanks - and I do appreciate this forum - has saved me alot of time over the years.
I have a linked csv table into access, and have a make table query which runs off this. When i first build and run the query it runs fine, but when i run it again I get the following problem "numeric field overflow" I have checked all the data types, they match fine.....
The thing that i cannot understand is when I rebuild the query from scratch, it works fine for the first couple of times, then stops.
Hi! I've got a problem with a csv file from our MRP system. It always contains spaces BEFORE the data in the fields and I need to ignore them when I group the data. The crosstab report works absolutely fine but I don't get the right output because of those darned spaces!!:mad:
