I am needing to link two tables but one field is in a "May 2012" format while the other table is in a "053112" format.. Is there a way beyond creating a formula to change "053112" into "May 2012"??

I have a table that has a date format DD/MM/YYYY this is good for some records that the date is known, however some records are more generic and the format is MM/YYYY, is it possible to be able to type both formats in the table (and consequently in the form)?
I have 2 linked tables, I would like to join these tables in access, however the first table's field is a memo and the second table is a number. I have tried to cint() the field in a query but I get an error message "Explicit conversion from datatype text to smallint is not allowed"
I am building a table where one of the fields is a yes/no field type. When the yes box is selected, I need to "jump" to a different set of field names than field names for selecting no. I have researched on internet and have done some reading but have found no information. Is it possible to do what I want to do in Access? My skill level is that I can build tables, create forms, create reports and run simple queries. Any help offered is appreciated.
I have a database for recording jobs and invoices for our transport company. I was thinking of adding an "Attachment" type field to my invoice table to store pdf's of scanned copies of the delivery notes relating to the invoice. How this will affect the performance of the database? Will adding this field greatly increase the size of the database and slow the whole database down?
I have a PO table. Each PO has 3 documents of multiple types (one may be Word, other may be Excel, Acrobat). When I display the PO, the attachments should be shown as Icons, which when double-clicked, will open in its own Application.
I have a pop-up screen where I enter new PO details. In this screen, I have Attach/Detach buttons for each of the Documents.
My Requirement: When I press 'ATTACH' of Doc1, the File Selection screen should be displayed from where the user will select the file to be attached. This file should be updated into the table field "doc1".
When I press 'DETACH' of Doc1, the file in table field "doc1" must be cleared.
For reasons I need not get into as it generally proves to be a distraction, I need to document the relationships in databases.
I've been playing around with .Relations with some success.
I can easily get the relationship's name, Table Name, Table Field, and ForeignTable.
Code: For i = 0 To objDestDB.Relations.Count - 1 With rsMigrateRels .AddNew !RelNumber = i !RelAttributes = objDestDB.Relations(i).Attributes !RelFields = objDestDB.Relations(i).Fields.Count !RelFieldsName = objDestDB.Relations(i).Fields(0).Name !RelForeignTable = objDestDB.Relations(i).ForeignTable !RelName = objDestDB.Relations(i).Name !RelPartialReplica = objDestDB.Relations(i).PartialReplica !RelProperties = objDestDB.Relations(i).Properties.Count !RelTable = objDestDB.Relations(i).Table .Update End With Next i
However, despite lots of digging into the other properties and attributes associated here, I cannot yet figure out how or where to get the:
ForeignTable field The type of relationship (1:1,1:many,many:many)
I am in need of assistance with Microsoft Access. In the reporting function of Access I am trying to have a summarization total of indirect time and direct time based off a Auditor Timesheet form developed. On the report I am able to see both the direct time and the indirect time hours seperate per auditor based on the query that is run to seperate direct and indirect hours and each individual auditor stats.
but the problem I am having is trying to summarize on the report the total direct and indirect hours as a whole.
Please let me know if this a simple solution by building an expression in the field for the report or some type of VBA code input which would suffice?
I have a field in a table that is comprised of mostly numerical data but some records are text.
I want to convert this field to numerical only and make a new field to put the textual data in.
However converting the field will delete the textual data. What is the easiest way to convert the field but save the textual data AND append the textual data to the SAME record that they were in originally in the new field?
Looking for a way to use transfertext to make a table and create a spec file from csv files I am importing. I want all fields in the table to be shorttext.
Otherwise I need another way to bring the files into a table.
I have a generic spec to use that brings in any data as text.
Created the spec from a delimited file with 255 text fields... Field001, Field002, etc.
However the field names need to be changed. My field names are in the first row of a table. I will need to read each fields data in the first row and rename the field.
We have been using an Access (Access 2013) program where we link the program to dataviews created in sql server.
Recently we had to re-link the data views because a change had been made to them. When we relinked the data we noticed that the field type for the field used as the primary key changed from "Short Text" to "Long Text". The programmer who created the dataview from sql server said that nothing was done at that end that would have caused the change
I know how to prevent the problem from recurring. We are changing the sql server spec from VARCHAR(8000) to CHAR(20).
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?
I have linked tables in my db at the moment that rely on user dsn connections to an SQL server. I've been reading about DSNLess connections and want to try convert what i have to have permanent DSNless connections, but the code I've found doesn't appear to be working.
I've removed server specific details where i felt necessary, but when running the code i have it in place.
Code:
Public Sub RefreshODBCLinks() Dim connString As String Dim db As DAO.Database Dim tb As DAO.TableDef connString = "DRIVER=SQL Server;SERVER=<database ip address>;DATABASE=<
Hello All, I currently have a bunch of tables that I have linked to a SQL database. For development purposes (easy of use), I'd like to turn all those tables into regular tables rather than linked so if I take the db offsite, all the data is with me. I realize there will be no updates, etc. but that really doesn't matter for my needs in this case.
Is there a script or an easy way to do this? (besides doing a manual import for a LOT of tables)
I've tried searching but I might not be searching for the correct terminology.
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.
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.
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 .matt
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!!
Now, in the amendment field, I've inserted a combo box, with 3 options in it. Let's say option A,B and C...The thing I want access to do, is, when option C is selected, I want fields Period, Salary and Shift to be automatically "Yes".But if option A or B is selected, the the user must choose what the other fields are going to be either Yes or No
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.
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.
