I am pretty sure the answer to this is no but I need to ask anyway.
Is there a way that your tables can be set up so clicking on a record will take you to the corresponding record on the form (like you can do in Filemaker). I have a client who doesn't want queries or reports set up (!!) just wants to be able to filter and search using the table and then link to the form...
Hiya
Please be gentle I am no expert at this sort off thing.....
Is there a way of clicking on a line in a table and the relavant form opens in a new window. You can then edit the form and the table is updated.
Thanks

I have developed a Microsoft Database Access 2010 Table and associated Form..I open both the Table and Form and a separate tab appears for each, then I can switch from either the table or form by clicking the tab.In the Table screen I select a record, as an example, record number 1926. How can I link this record with the form so that when I select the form tab, record 1926 is shown?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI am new at this and have been struggling for days trying to solve this problem.
I created a database, using the wizard, to keep records of my orchids.
This resulted in a table. I keyed in the information on each plant.
Then I created a form, using the form wizard. Everything worked great. I could switch between the form and the table views.
The other day, the form no longer contained the information from each of my records. When I tried to switch to datasheet view (from form view), there was no longer a datasheet listed.
When I go directly to the datasheet (when starting Access), I can see all of the records (186 of them), but if I try to switch to form view - no form is listed.
Please help.
I have been asked to maintain a directory for our local Scout district. It's currently in a spreadsheet, but is crying out to be a database.I have created a "group" table, this lists all the groups in the district.I have a 2nd table called "people" this holds details of all the people in the district.As some people can have a role in multiple groups, I have created a 3rd table called "link", this is to link the people to groups.
Having read various different posts on sub forms, I am still at a loss on how to create a form / subform to populate the link table.My initial thoughts were to have a combo box on the main form, listing the people and then have a list of groups on the sub form (the are only 24). I would have a check box next to each group and if checked, it mean that the person selected in the combo is associated with that group.However my issue is that the tick box would be a "yes/no" field and the entry in the link table needs to be a number.
Dear all,
Does anyone know if ti is possible to link an access table to one stored on an intranet site? This is used for logging help desk calls and various locations need to look at it at the same time.
I have tried it and seems to work but I get a "Not a valid file name" message
thanks for looking
The attached Access XP file demonstrates my problem. I've included a form to make testing easier.
Each record in the Projects table has one or more linked entries in the Keywordlink table, showing keywords that apply to that record. Each record in Projects has a Yes/No 'Utility' field.
A third table, Keywords, supplies the keywords that the user can apply to records in Projects, using the subform on the main form. The Keywords table also includes a True/False 'Utility' field. I have set this to True for for the first three keywords.
I need a query, a series of queries or some VB code that updates Projects_Utility for all records to True if and only if the record's linked entries in Keywordlink include all of the keywords for which Keywords_Utility is True (a boolean 'and', as opposed to an 'or'). Otherwise, Projects_Utility must be set to False.
In the attached file, with the current settings in the Keyword table, the 'GetSelectedProjects' query should then produce single-row listings for ClientA and ClientF.
I'd appreciate any help you can give me on this. I'm not a programmer, but I can manage a bit of VB code if I have to.
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.
Is it possible i create one master table and link few table together??
In the mdb that i attached there have 3 table - tblMaster, tblConfiguration1 and tblConfiguration2.
Using the relationship to link tblMaster's field Configuration to other 2 table Configuration field but there only showing 1 table data.
Is it allow in tblMaster able to show this 2 table together??

I have a new table that I added to the back end of my Access 2003 database. I compacted & repaired both the front and back and I can't see the new table in the front end still. Do you know why this is?? I can't find anything on this.
thanks-
I am working on a new system. Have been given Full MS Access but Link Table Manager fails it gives a standard security warning that this new system enforces it says Opening: CProg..FilesMSOfficeOffice11ACWZTOOL.MDE however on selecting OPEN nothing happens. If Cancel is hit then
long critical message saying in short " Can't find wizard , syntax error in delerations in VB. Likewise I cannot link to a spreadsheet without using the manager.
Question is there anything I can do or is it the fact that these are options were not installed and it is an administrators job?
I searched the internet and different forums, but could not find the solution for my problem. In Access 2003 I splitted the database and made a mde file of the frontend. When I copy the front and backend to another computer it cannot find the backend due to the original path is included. To solve this I would like the database to link the backend that is available in the directory of the frontend. No more and no less. Is this possible? I find a lot of questions in this direction, but could not destilate a solution.

How do I link a table to excel table so if I add or change things it changes in the other.

Is it possible to create a table link that is read only. I realize that there a a number of work-arounds, but I'm curious about this functionality specifically.
View 3 Replies View Relatedanyone know how to remove the table link (not delete linked table) at run time?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a frontend and backend database put in a network drive where users can access to the frontend version which has tables linked to the backend.
When I set up the link tables from the frontend to the backend, Access points to a local drive letter in my computer. For example, if I map the network drive where the databases are, say to Drive R:, the link table in the frontend will always point to tables in the backend on R:. If other user map the same network drive to drive letter other than R:, the table links between the frontend and the backend will be broken.
I wonder if anyone knows a way to set up table link with a physical path instead of a local drive letter?
Thanks

Hi.. i have a combo1(InvoiceNo) that look up the values in a table, (there are invoices numbers on it) In the Invoices table i have InvoiceNo (that is the key) and other fields like InvoiceCity, SaleDate, etc
I need to store the current date in Invoices.SaleDate = now() in Invoices table that matches with the combo1.
The Form has as RecordSource, Customers Table
Any tip or hint???
What I need is a table that will hold a primary key field and 16 text fields at 255 characters per field. (NO memo fields) This will total about 4,080 characters but Access 2000 limits the record size to 2,000 characters.
I have two tables with 9 fields in each table in a one to one relationship as follows:
Table1: Primary Key = MyKey = autonumber field.
Table1: 8 fields = text at 255 characters each field.
(i.e. Data1, Data2, Data3, Data4, Data5, Data6, Data7, Data8)
Table2: Primary Key = MyKey = number field.
Table2: 8 fields = text at 255 characters each field
(i.e. Data9, Data10, Data11, Data12, Data13, Data14, Data15, Data16)
The problem is I want all the fields to act as though they are from a single table and to be on a single form. I don’t know how to go about the LinkChildFields and LinkMasterFields without using a SubForm. A SubForm don’t work because it expects the second table to have many records.
Thanks Stan

I am new to using Microsoft Access, and have started a job which it predominantly using access.
I am in-charge of the database, the table contains many fields for instance project code, organization name, project,total budget fee etc.
Project code are unique and represents income stream and work of a consultant.
However i have been ask to link project codes, for when consultants are working on a project together, so when a monthly report is run the work will appear on both consultants reports and not just the ones.
is their a possible remedy for this?
What is the best way to accomplish this? I have a database that split into the Front end and the Back end. The form that the users entering the information uses the queries from two sources. One is the a table within Access and the other is an excel spreadsheet that I link to it. How can I update /replace the Excel spreadsheet while users are using the form of the front End?

Hi,
Ok this is a weird one. I have used the automated link table in Access to connect to the contacts folder in Outlook. Both of these being 2007v
Originally this seemed to all work fine and i could see all the data. Now however i am having a problem where i can see all of the data apart from the email addresses. These are input in outlook and they are the correct field names - in fact they have shown up but when i though i had cracked it and saved and closed the db, when i reopened they had disappeared again.
I can work out whether this is a bug or a security setting. Any ideas?
Thanks
