Database with front- & back end.
From mdb to mde to Runtime.
The linked table manager is grey if the access application is installed in a different folder then initially set.
I have no idea how to solve this.
Help is welcome.

Hi folks
Is there a linked table manager in access 2007?
Cheers,

Is there any way I can download the Linked Table Manager Utility as I need to install it and I've lost the Office 2000 CD

I have successfully automated the refresh of my linked tables using VBA (thanks to a post on this forum -- Cool). Anyway, what I would like to know now is this:
If my table collection does not have any linked tables, using VBA, how can I get that list of available tables to show? Assume that I will be connecting to the same database (Oracle) through an ODBC connection. I dont wish to change the connection - just want that window with all tables to shouw up.
Thanks guys/gals for the help.
Hello,
Does anyone know how to use a Macro or Module to refresh/update linked excel worksheets in an access DB. I used to delete all the tables then re-add them. There must be a better more correct way. Any ideas?
Hello,
The scenario. Two PC's, one older than the other, both running Windows 2000 (SP4) and Office 2000 (SP3). I use Access as a front end to a MySQL database, connections are made using ODBC.
I recently altered the structure of a table and attempted to re-link the table in access using the Linked Table Manager on the new PC. All that happened was the hourglass came on and never went away. I tried to do this on the old PC and it worked fine first time.
Any ideas why I can't get it to work on my new PC? It's quite important as I won't have the old PC with me much longer :-(

Matt.
How do you get to see the entire file path in Access Linked Table Manager of linked tables that are located in a folder with a long path? The problem is that you can only view the first 64 or so characters of the table’s path. This is a real problem when these linked tables need to be updated and you don't know where it’s stored.

I have a database that is used in our office. It is split with the backend stored on a network share.
I need to make some updates, and to do maintenance I usually make a copy of the frontend/backend to my desktop, and use the linked table manager to switch to using the local copy of the backend so I don't mess up the main data. All good so far.
however, I recently added a new table, and originally called it "overRides", I then decided that "adjustments" was a more suitable name and changed it.
Now whenever I try to switch from the main backend to my local copy I get a message when relinking "adjustments" that Access cannot find the object "overRides" and to make sure it exists and the name is spelled correctly...
I have been just deleting the linked table and reimporting "adjustments" but this issue keeps coming back and it's driving me nuts!
How can I make Access forget that this table used to be called "overRides"?
I have an Access 2007 application where don't work the link table manager.
I also try to complete reinstall the Office 2007 and also I register the Accwiz.dll in the office folder (regsvr32.exe Accwiz.dll) but the module still does not work.
Hi Guys,
This is one of this only times i've had a problem whose answer i couldn't find on this or other forums, so here's the question.
My DBase links to the back end tables
tblBrkdn
tblBrkdnArchive
tblBrkdwnTradespeople
tblBrkdwnTradespeopleArchive
The following two tables are local, not linked
tblBrkdnArchiveTemp
tblBrkdwnTradespeopleArchiveTemp
After running through the following code, all of the four above mentioned linked tables are now local. It's vexing. I'm terribly vexed. If you can help, my status would chnge from vexed to joyous....:

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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an MS Access accdb with linked SQL Server 2012 ODBC tables. I am working on a procedure to copy data from local tables to these linked tables (identical schema). I did a simple
Code:
DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO linkedTable SELECT * FROM localTable"
This works, but is very slow. Way too slow. (INSERT copies the data one record at a time).
I would like to copy the data in a bulk operation, or operations that I can execute programmatically.
Hi,
I am extracting data from linked db2 table using access make table query. First I create a select query and can view the linked db2 data, but when I change to a make table query I get an error message, "invalid argument", when I run the make table query. There is no selection critera specified. Has anyone had this happen? and Do you know a solution?
Thanks for your support

I am rebuilding an application for a client and I have an Access table that I am using as a temporary table. Once the user is done entering information into the temporary table through a form, the user presses an update button that appends the records using an Append Query in Access to an SQL Server Table.
The following error message occurs:
"ODBC -- insert on a linked table 'linked tblname' failed.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] Explicit value must be specified for identity column in table 'linked tblname' when IDENTITY INSERT is set to ON. (#545)
I am using a form, subform combination to record a bill with many details. The bill summary is posted into a tbl_TransactionsMain table in SQL Server using the ADO AddNew method. The PK for the tbl_TransactionsMain is then entered into the temporary table in Access. When the temporary table records are appended into tbl_TransactionDetail the error message occurs.
What is also interesting is while typing out this post I thought to test the error by manually trying to run the query. The query worked like a charm! :confused: When the orginal error occurred off of the form I tried to run the query manually and it failed. I am guessing that this might have something to do with the ODBC timeout.
I think SQL Server/ODBC connection is not liking how I have a set of records in an Access table with foreign key numbers assigned when I am attempting to append the records. I am new to SQL Server and any ideas are most appreciated! :)
I have two tables, submit and imgdest. Submit is edited by front-end users to load pictures for back-end users who then delete the images when they're done with them. Submit is edited by a form, in the form I've placed a button (Command37) that has code:
Code:
Private Sub Command37_Click()
Call InsertData
MsgBox "Completed", "0", "Completed Backup"
Exit Sub
End Sub
Private Sub InsertData()
[code]....
This code was working for a short while, now anytime it's run I get error 3027 - Cannot update. Database or object is read-only. However, I can open the linked table and manually change information in it with no problems.
I am trying to build a Form that will show an estimate (then eventually will be moved to a project if customer and employee aggree to price and project) in a Form F_Estimates is a M_Customers(Customer_ID) (Based on a Table) and thier info in a Subform. Also is the "projected costs" from parts out of the Parts(Part_ID) (Based on another Table) in a second Subform as a list that I need to calculate $$$ in
(Dang that still sounds evil and definately NOT understandable even after edit... so)
Here's some basic info
Tables
EstimatesandParts - Table
EstimatesandParts_ID : Autonumber
Estimate_ID : Number
Part_ID : Number
Parts - Table
Part_ID : Autonumber
PartNumber : Text (not a number due to some part#s have letters in them)
PartName : Text
Unit Price : Currency
Description : Text
Estimates - Table
Estimate_ID : Autonumber
InvoiceNumber : Text (again can have letters in it)
EstimateDate : Date/Time
EstimateTime : Date/Time
Employee_ID : Number
Customer_ID : Number
ProblemDescription : Memo
Customers - Table
Customer_ID : Autonumber
FirstName : Text
LastName : Text
CompanyName : Text
Address : Text
City : Text
Province_State : Text
Postal_ZIPCode : Text (CDN Postal codes are letter num letter...)
you can see the link table in the EstimatesandParts Table
Now I want to use that link to populate a subform in the F_Estimates form
Forms
SF_Customers - SubForm
(all boxes atm are text boxes on this form till I figure out the Parts section then will use same base for this so I can pick any customer in the database to be the customer for this estimate. Also will have ctrl button for making new customer with customer form and a refresh on Focus Gain bit of code)
FirstName
LastName
CompanyName
Address
City
Province_State
Postal_ZIPCode
SF_Parts - SubForm
Default View -Continuous Forms
(want it to be a list of parts that I can grab prices and descriptions from then in a bit of code to calculate a cost of parts)
Part_ID : Combo Box
Control Source - Part_ID
Row Source Type - Table/Query
Row Source - SELECT Parts.Part_ID, Parts.PartNumber, Parts.PartName, Parts.UnitPrice, Parts.Description FROM Parts ORDER BY Parts.Description;
(Pulls info from the table Parts for input into a list of parts to be used on that project)
PartName : Text Box
UnitPrice : Text Box
(here's where I run into problems due to the fact that the form is not based on the parts table but rather the link table EstimatesandParts so I can't propogate the info to the 2 other text boxes, ps I dont care if they cant be text boxes and have to be linked or some other type I'm not "set" just need to find out how to make it work )
(have tried a couple things to complete this task)
Me.txtPartName = Me.Part_ID.Column(2)
Me.txtUnitPrice = Me.Part_ID.Column(3)
(works AWSOME ... for ONE ROW then propogates the second selection to the first and second and third selection to first second and third and so on ...)
(tried to make control source for the txtPartName to)
=Forms!Parts!Partname
(Doesnt exist .. akkk, cant use ActiveForm either as it doesn't focus on the SubForm but the MainForm ... cry)
F_Estimates - Form
Estimate_ID
InvioceNumber
EstimateDate
EstimateTime
ProblemDescription
(all basic Text Boxes)
Employee_ID
Customer_ID
(Combo Boxes Select Customer and Employee from list of present ones of each)
SF_Customers
SF_Parts
(Both SubForms on the main form)
Now this is an Exerp from my entire Database I like to work on one small problem at a time and I have made this its own little database till I figure out the problem then I will bring the info I learn back into the rest of the database and go from there ...
Hope you can help I have a feeling I will need to make a recordset and go from there but I'm just not able to wrap my head around that for some reason
Thanks in advance for ANY and ALL help that I get from here

I want the table to be linked to the Pivot Table Data and publish it as a report.
I know in excel it is simply using the = sign to the cell reference; however, what is the equivalent of this in Access?
- How to create a table as shown above?
- How to link the Pivot Table data to the table above?
Has anyone else encountered this?
I wrote a Access 2000 database which has a linked table to a HTML file which worked perfectly. However, I Have recently installed Access 2007 and now when I use my database to try to open the HTML linked table it says it is either empty or not in the right format!
Any ideas anyone?

I'm trying to link a spreadsheet as a table in Access 2002. The link wizard is importing my number columns as numbers, even though I defined them as text. I need for them to be text in Access. How do I force this?

Hi all,
I set up three tables (pastoral, referral, confidential) all at the exact same time on our sql server, all have the exact same permissions and i am the owner of all three. Ecah have a primary key in the form of an autonumber.
When i link to these tables in access i can delete from both the pastoral and confidential tables but cant delete from the referral table (the smallest of the three with only 6 fields) and i get this message:
"The Microsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time"
Ive tried:
Compacting and repairing
Recreating the table on the sql server
decompiling and recompiling with a compact and repair
redoing the table links
trying the table in a different database
and none of these things have solved my issue.
Its bizarre:
on the sql server i can add, edit, delete
in access i can add but cant edit or delete as i get a write conflict error message:
"This record has been changed by another user since you started editing it. If you save the record, you will overwrite the changes the other user made...."
Yet the overwrite option is greyed out and i only have the choice of copying to clipboard or dropping changes.
HELP!!!
im at a total loss as to what is going on, ive tried all the fixes i know and have come back to trying to fix the problem instead of starting it again due to the fact that recreating the table gives me the same problems.
Any ideas? all service packs are up to date and so is the jet engine...
cheers

Hello,
I'm making a MS Access frontend for some tables on the Oracle 8 database at work. The tables are linked ofcourse.
One table has an AUTONUMBER field on the Oracle and it seems to give me trouble to insert new records.
When I try to insert a new record (leave the autonumber field blank) I get the following error: "ODBC — insert on a linked table <table> failed. (Error 3155)" followed by the error "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver for Oracle][Oracle]ORA-01722: invalid number (#1722)".
When I look at the Oracle documentation I got this:
ORA-01722 invalid number
Cause: The attempted conversion of a character string to a number failed
because the character string was not a valid numeric literal. Only numeric fields or character fields containing numeric data may be used in arithmetic functions or expressions. Only numeric fields may be added to or subtracted from dates.
Action: Check the character strings in the function or expression. Check that
they contain only numbers, a sign, a decimal point, and the character "E" or "e" and retry the operation.
I checked the INSERT statement: "INSERT INTO AFM_HV_PROP_VALUE (HV_INST_ID, HV_PROPERTY_ID, TABLE_NAME, HV_PROPERTY_VALUE) VALUES (4, 'V_TESTJE', 'hv_inst', '123465')" and everything seems to be allright. The value that's causing the error is the "4" that gets in the "HV_INST_ID"-field.
Using TOAD to execute the SQL Statement, there is no problem at all.
When I look at the table design in MS Access I see that the Autonumber field is of the type "Double". That doesn't seem right to me...
Anyone some suggestions? I'm running out of courage :s
Greetings,

I have an access file that is using a linked Oracle table.
When I open the linked table in Access, I want to have a column display as a checkbox like the YES/NO Access datatype does.
How I can accomplish this?
Hi all-
I work for a staffing firm and I'm trying to figure out a way to turn exports from our vendor-based sql gui (i.e. I can only get .xls files out of it, can't just run SQL queries) into spiffy reports using Crystal Reports. My grand plan is to use Access to process these various XLS files (one for each client) by linking them to an Access DB and coding a table to conditionally tally individual records based on different criteria.
The criteria are company name, position name, date submitted, active, and status. I was able to code an Excel template that did the trick perfectly, but required each file to be edited to reflect the new report format, and updated as more positions are added. My question is this: is there some way for me to create a DB that links to the XLS files for each client and puts each company name, position name, date submitted (pulled straight from XLS files) and then the following tallies:
submitted (just # of pos name by date)
accepted (status != "s" AND active = "y" by date)
etc.
I don't really expect someone to do all my coding for me, maybe just point me in the right direction, as the only coding outside of excel formula coding (which I feel doesn't really count despite my proficiency) that I've done has been over a decade ago. Any suggestions?
I use an Excel interface to retrieve data from an Access file that has approximately 1 million records. I use an MS Query from Excel to run an Access Query to retrieve the data.
I have 16 "Criteria" fields (columns) in Excel that I change with drop-downs. Each criteria column has 2 to 9 values set; a total of 75 values. I pass these criteria fields to Access via a table link in Access.
The criteria of the fields in the query that is run in Access to pull the data based on the table link is updated by using the Values In A List (IN) option.
When I refresh this query in Excel, it pulls the data fine, but may take 10 minutes to run. (I am using MS Office 2003, 1Gig memory). I have limited VBA knowledge. Is there a better/faster way to pull this data?
