I have a db that runs call stats (Master) this exports to several Department (Slave) Databses. The Slave db's can be accessed by any of number of Managers.
My problems (Amongst others!) is that I run the master every 15 mins and the slaves are linked to the master tables. How can I set this up so that these slaves can be updated whilst they are logged into?
I have a database with a number of linked tables that are linked to tables in different databases (not a back-end).for example, I have table1 that is linked to table1 in K:databasedb1.mdb.table2 linked to table2 in S:datadata.mdb.and so on...
However, recently we have moved all our databases to a new location.
K:databasedb1.mdb is now residing in O:masterdatabase
and S:datadata.mdb is now residing in O:masterdata
and so on...
I'm now in charge of relinking all those tables to point to the new location.I would do this in linked table manager one by one but we have 100s of tables linked to multiple different databases in different location.is there a way to create a VBA code that will automatically do this re-linking process?
so,
1. find unlinkable tables
2. search its new location under O:master
3. re-link it to the new location
Database names and tables names have not been changed. Just the location of databases.
there are many threads about Table Linking but i coud not find one that answers my specific questions.
1. Can i either prevent database from linking to my tables? (or give permissins )
2. If not, can i make the table read only when linking?
3. Is there a way to confirm what databases are linked to my tables?
I have a simple Access database with a number of linked tables to Excel spreadsheets located in the same directory.When I open the Access database from two networked machines, I get an error on the second machine when I try to open a form that uses the linked tables. It says that the linked table has been opend in Exclusive mode.Any idea how I can prevent Access from opening the linked tables in exclusive mode?thanks

I have an access database which is linked to several tables in other SQL databases. I have made a list box displaying a single field from one of the linked tables. I have the list set to multiselect simple. After I've made a selection and then go to close the form I get this error message.
ODBC - Insert on a linked table 'dbo_Name" failed.
I dont want to change any data in this table. I only want to read and extract it to another table. How can I stop access from wanting to update the table.
OK I've thought about it some more, can I as part of the on click commands for the close button, clear any selections from the list prior to closing the form. That way there are no fields selected to be changed and no error message. If I can any pointers on how?
I am currently working on a database which has links to two other databases both of which are password protected. The problem occurs when the main database needs to access data in the others as it prompts for their passwords to be entered.
I was wondering if anyone knew a way to automate this so that the user would not be asked for the password but instead it would be coded into the main database.
Any help would be appreciated.
I am using an Access 2007 front end linked to an Access 2007 back end. I have a Report that the user operates by selecting the information he/she wants to see on a pop-up form and clicking a button. The Report works perfectly unless another form, called Shows Form, in the database is opened. When Shows Form is open the Report/button on the pop up form generates Error 3048: Cannot Open Any More Databases. Also when Shows Form in open, the Query that the Report calls on also won't run. The Query gives gives the same error - Cannot Open Any More Databases.
I have been through my code with a fine tooth comb to make sure all DAO.Recordsets and DAO.Databases are closed after they are used. The troublemaker Shows Form is quite complex and has many sub-forms (11), on a tab control (9 tabs). The Shows Form is the work horse of the database and the User needs to have this form open all of the time. It is inconvenient to have to close the Shows Form in order to use the Report. I am suspecting, through my internet reading, that the multiple sub-forms in the Show Form are using up resources and causing Error 3048.
I thought maybe I could look at coding the sub-forms to open only when needed - when the user clicks on the tab containing the sub-form. Would that conserve resources?
I am using Access 2010...I am suddenly getting the error 3048: Cannot open any more databases...The error occurs on the line of code: Set db = CurrentDb()
Code:
Private Sub SetInUseFalse(TelesalesId As Long)
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set db = CurrentDb()
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset("Select InUseBy from tblTelesales where Telesalesid = " & TelesalesId)
Run Some Code
[code]....
Why should I suddenly get this error? The error appears to be in a loop. If I close the error message, it pops up again. I have to close the database using Windows Task Manager.Is there a maximum number of connections? But I religiously close connections as indicated above!.I am only connecting to the current database (backend form frontend)Am I opening / closing connections & recordsets correctly?
I'm having a problem on a workstation that I've always used to create databases in Access. When I open any of my saved .mdb's I get a the error "end query expression" with the table name. The message gives me the option to click OK or Help and Help refers to "<Message> in query expression <expression>. (Error 3075)".
I've copied the .mdb's to another PC with Access installed and they open with no problem and I've removed and reinstalled Access on the problematic PC but still the same problem.
Also, I have a UPS Worldship shipping application that uses an Access database and when it opens it gives me a Micrsoft Visual C++ runtime error then closes, which may or may not be related.
I get the sense that something is corrupted in either Access or Windows XP but I'm not sure where else to look.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Stuart
This is the second database where this has happened to me. I have code to print a report (with several sub-reports) to PDF. When it prints, only the first couple reports appear. The rest of the pages on the PDF are blank. If I try manually saving to PDF (Save As > PDF or XPS), I get the error "Cannot open any more databases."
In the other case, my "solution" was to copy all the queries into temporary tables and use the temp tables as the datasources for the reports.
Any way to list all currently opened Access databases? It feels like this must be possible by referring to the databases collection, but I just don't know how.
Also, is it possible to refer to controls on a form in one open database from code in another database? (and obviously if so, how?)
I'm scanning bar codes into the record search box, most of the time it works as it should but occasionally I get multiple "cannot open any more databases" errors. It still finds the product record but the error messages are super annoying. I am sure to clear the memory on the scanner each time before I scan in a new barcode but it doesn't seem to matter. Also sure to only have one or 2 forms open at a time, that doesn't seem to matter either. Most of the time I don't get the errors but when I have to click through like 10+ error messages (all identical). I only have one database open so I'm not sure what it even means. Also I have tried this in 2 different forms and it's the same for both forms. Seems like I get the errors in my initial scan and then after clearing them it seems to work without errors.

I have started working with a database/s that was not set up by me and I am having problems appending tables from different databases.
Overview -
There was one original database set up to collect clinical data with a 'mainTBL' (health data) and a 'subTBL' (medications data) linked within the 'mainTBL'. Rather than having one continuous database the data entry person has copied the database and used a copied version for each month (where the records were deleted so new records could be entered) - so I have six databases for six months of data entry and I need to make it into one big database.
There is an ID field in the 'mainTBL' that is an autonumber (and primary key) and this has a relationship with an ID field in the 'subTBL'.
The problem -
The autonumbers in each monthly database are not unique across the six different databases (Eg the autonumber in both february and march starts at 74 so there is duplicate ID's in february/march). I have to append all the monthly databases (including the 'subTBL's) and then start a new autonumber so they are all unique and new data can then be entered. I am having trouble appending because of the duplicates and the relationship between the ID fields - what is the best way around this.
Thanks for any help in advance.

I need to do a join on two tables, one is in the current database, but the onther one is an another database. I am struggling with the syntax. Can anyone advise where I am going wrong?
This is the code, but it says the usual 'Syntax error in FROM clause'
SELECT za06_report_2006.wbs, za06_report_2006.cost_cntr, wbslist.description
FROM za06_report_2006 LEFT JOIN wbslist in '\ukdewgs002gdatapcdatafinancedocumentwbslis t.mdb' on za06_report_2006.wbs= wbslist.[wbs element];
All table names , variable names, and paths are correct.
Thanks for any suggestions

I've currently come across the issue where an end user copied the database locally to their computer and has been using it for months and months. After fixing an issue in the database on the server and then finding that someone still had a database bug is how I figured this out. Anyway, what would be the best way for me to merge the table 1 from the database she was using to table 1 in the database on the server? Is there a way to export a table so I can then import the data? Like I said, the databases are identical other then the data.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have 4 databases that share 3 tables.
Each database is used for different purposes and other tables which do not relate to the other databases.
My question is: how do I set up the back ends so each database can retrieve and enter data into the 3 shared tables without conflicts??
I know how to split each of the databases to front and back ends but how would I link them all to the 3 tables they share? Should I create one back end with only the 3 shared tables and link the separate back ends for each database???
Any help much appreciated!
Dear members,
I have two databases, Source and destination ;
strSrceDB = "C:WSS_DBRehabilitated_Water_Supply_Kulyob.mdb"

I would like to append records to the destination table (Contractor_GIS) when there are no matching records in the source table (Contractor).
My code is as follows:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim strTemp As String
Dim strSQL As String
Dim StrDestDB As String
Dim strSrceDB As String
Dim mdb As DAO.Database
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
strSrceDB = "C:WSS_DBRehabilitated_Water_Supply_Kulyob.mdb"
StrDestDB = "C:DBWSS_Khatlon.mdb"
'Make sure it is there
If Dir(StrDestDB) = "" Then
Call MsgBox(StrDestDB & " does not exist", vbOKOnly, "Aborting...")
ElseIf Dir(strSrceDB) = "" Then
Call MsgBox(strSrceDB & " does not exist", vbOKOnly, "Aborting...")
Else
strSQL= "INSERT INTO Contractor_GIS("
strSQL = strSQL & "System_ID,"
strSQL = strSQL & "Contractor_Name)"
strSQL = strSQL & "IN '" & StrDestDB & "' "

strSQL = strSQL & "where Contractor.System_ID <> Contractor_GIS.System_ID;"
Set mdb = DBEngine.OpenDatabase(StrDestDB)
Debug.Print strSQL
Call mdb.Execute(strSQL)
mdb.Close
Set mdb = Nothing
DoEvents
MsgBox ("The Geodatabase tables have been successfully appended!")
End If
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
strTemp = Err.Description & " [Update_SystemTab]"
Call MsgBox(strTemp, vbCritical, "Contact Help Desk")
End Sub
I get Syntax Error in "Insert into" clause.
Any help on this will be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I have around 10 mdbs and in each I have 4 tables, I want to add all the tables from 10 mdb to one mdb, finally I will have 4 toal tables, right now I am using a appendquery to add tables. Is there way using VBA I can do it on the form and with one click of a button I will be able to add. Thanks for any info..
We have a case where there is an append query in one database that is is updating another database table. We have moved all the tables to MS-SQL (2008) using the SSMA tool. We were wondering if it would be possible to create a new linked table in the DB where the append query is. Of course we cannot use the SSMA tool again since the table already exists on the MS-SQL server.
Normally when I try to make linked tables from Access, it wants to create a ODBC connection which we are not using.
I have a club member registration application consisting of a program database and a data database. They reside in the same directory. There is an autoexec macro which runs at the beginning. This macro has to find the DATAdb and make sure that the required tables are linked (Not all tables). If it cannot find the DATAdb and then has to make a call to the user to use a different procedure.
Now to find the DATAdb I have used the following code that works. The function GetPathAndName parses the string db.name and outputs the path and name of the PROGdb. Up to here no problems.
Code:
GetPathAndName db.Name, FrontPath, dName
Then I use the following code to get the fullpath of the last database used and thereby find the path and name of the last DATAdb. The path of PROGdb is used in place of the existing path of DATAdb to check whether the file exists.
Code:
Dim rs As Recordset, cPath As String, cName As String
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT Database, Type " & _
"FROM MSysObjects " & _
"WHERE ((MsysObjects.Type) = 6) AND ((MsysObjects.Name) = 'MembersTbl') " & _
"ORDER BY MsysObjects.DateUpdate DESC;")
[Code] .....
As the final step I use the table definitions to refresh links that already exist and connect tables that are not linked The code is below. But I can not get it to work. It links 7 tables instead of 16 and when tested in different folder says invalid operation and so on. There is fundamental error some place but I could not figure it out.
Code:
On Error GoTo Error_Linking
Debug.Print "TableDefs.Count="; db.TableDefs.Count
For I = 0 To db.TableDefs.Count - 1
Debug.Print "TableDefs("; I; ").Connect="; db.TableDefs(I).Connect
Debug.Print "TableDefs("; I; ").Name="; db.TableDefs(I).Name
[Code] .....

I have a client table and several grant tables for different grants that each client can apply for. The tables are linked one to many.
What i have is a Clients main form showing Refnum, Name, Address etc. What I want to do is have command buttons on the Clients main form to open a specific Grant application form linked to the clients main form. There are currently 4 different grants they can apply for and they can apply more than once.
I have used the command button wizard to link each Grant form with the Client form, but when the Grant form opens it doesnt show the Refnum or the Client name etc. The Graqnt form is based on a query made up of the Client table and the Grant table.
I have looked at the wherecondition, openargs but i cant get it to work, mostly because i dont understand the code. I also need to see any previous applications that have been made for that grant.
Not sure I am making sense - sorry.
Can anyone help?
I have database for each location. Every location will update some information in the databases and send it back to me. In those location based databases, information will be stored in one table called "consolidate_input". I will store these databases in one specific directory and then I want to accommodate the data of "consolidate_input" into one master database having the same identical table in the database.
