Hi there,
Would really appreciate it if someone could help me out!
I have a linked excel table into Access 2000. I have a field named 'PO number'. In excel, the field type is Text. But in Access, it's coming through as a number. Hence, much of the data is being dropped off.
You can't change data type on linked tables.
Anyway got any ideas?
Thanks!

I have a table with a field with names set to text data type and i want to change it to number data type but when i do it in design view the data get lost. I want to know if there is a way to convert the data in the field as number type and keep the data in the field.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am using calculated field as a data type in access 2010.
They are working fine.
However, I added a new field and now the final calc won't work.
I have Subtotal adding loads of fields together. Works fine.
Then I have a VATunit field which is a double integer, so enter 20 and my next field is VATTotal calculates the SubTotal + the VATunit by doing (Subtotal/100)*VATunit. This calculation is fine and gives me the correct amount.
The next field is a Total field. Which adds Subtotal and the VATTotal together. Howver, the Total is the same as Subtotal. It is not adding the VATTotal to it?
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 1 Replies View RelatedI am having problems with this query:
DELETE * FROM [TableOfTrainees] WHERE [TableOfTrainees].[CurrentYearTrainingDate]="" AND [TableOfTrainees].[LastYearsTrainingDate]="";
When I try to run it, an error points to the criteria.
Both CurrentYearTrainingDate and LastYearsTrainingDate are Date/Time format.
I need to be able to check if those fields have a date in them or are blank ("", IsNull and IsEmpty do not seem to work).
Any ideas are deeply appreciated -- thanks ahead of time!

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 need to run a query for a particular time frame. The only problem is that the CurrentDate field in the table has its data type set to Text.
I thought I could do something like this but it didn't work:
WHERE cdate(myTable.CurrentDate) >= #01/01/2004#
Isn't there a way to "convert" this field so that it behaves as a date field when the query runs?
Thanks,

Hi
Does anybody know if I can link a text box on a form so that it reads the last modified date of a text or excel file on my hard drive ?
I have a form in which I have four yes/no boxes to indicate in which part of the process is the product.
What I want is that when the last box is checked, automatically the field that I have for Closing Date set the date.
Is this possible? and if it is, how and where can I do it?
Is 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???
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 2

Hope some ideas. Thanks

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.

I have a question: Is it possible to link more than one table to the same Form in order to keep previous data?
Thanks a lot
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
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.
I have been able to link column A1 in Table A to Column B1 in Table B.
But I want to link Columns A2,A3,A4 to Columns in table B using A1 and B1 as the relationship. Can this be done??
I want to end up with a Table that would be automaticly updated with the columns.
Thanks
I am creating an ASP page that uses a database with a field labeled 'Date' of data type Text.
I would like the records within a date range.
I tried using the following query:
"SELECT * FROM Project WHERE Date BETWEEN ' " + strBeginDate + " ' AND ' " + strEndDate + " ' "
I was partially successful.
The database contains data from 1/1/03 to 12/31/04.
When the following range is entered: 04/10/03 - 04/21/03, the results returned are 04/10/03 - 04/21/03 AND 04/10/04 - 04/20/04.
Any suggestions on how to approach this problem?
Thanks
Hello all - One of my 3 users' computers keeps coming up with an error when I try to enter the following command in the "Validation Rule" field of the table design view:
>=#1/1/1998# And <=Date()
Some investigative work showed that it's erroring on this clause: "<=Date()". Any idea why it would error on her pc and not the other 2 pc's? Her pc is old, but we're all using Access 2002. The error says: "The function you entered can't be used in this expression." Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks much.
