Hi,
I have two databases in Access.
One of the database acts as backend i.e it has only tables including some Linked Tables(which are linked to some third database)
Other database is an executable in which all the tables are linked to the bakend database.
I am not able to link to the linked tables in the backed database. Is there a way of doing that?
I'm trying to use a template to track assets-specifically this template:URL....Is there a way I can link an excel doc to my database that provides all of my data, that is thereby linked to other tables within Access?I want my data to be updated as it is manipulated within the independent excel doc when I open access.
View 6 Replies View RelatedHi, I wonder if anyone can help me. I'm very frustrated I have a database that I didn't create and the links aren't working on other users pc's but they are on mine. There are 9 links to various databases. 8 out of 9 work on my laptop. The 2 important ones don't work for other users. If I log on to another pc then the 2 important links don't work but all others work including the one that didn't work on my laptop.
I relaly don't understand this, the only thing I can think of is to go on every users pc and restore links but I know I shouldn't have to do that.
Has anyone got any suggestions?
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 developed a Microsoft Access 2010 database for my client and the database is split with Front-end/Back-end, the Back-end and the database is shared on Network, The client operating system and applications for all users are hosted and consistent and the service is delivered over Citrix.
The database some times corrupt the tables record and give a permanent #Delete Error, I have attached one of the database table and the screenshot of the error,
How to Update ODBC linked tables on ms access?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a split database.(Access 2010).Three of the linked tables are Appointments, Appointments_OLD, Appointments_NEW.
I want to use vba to rename Appointments as Appointments_OLD (replacing the current one) and to rename Appointments_NEW as Appointments (replacing the current one)
I have used:
'replace Appointments_OLD by Appointments, replace Appointments by Appointments_NEW
DoCmd.Rename "Appointments_OLD", acTable, "Appointments"
DoCmd.CopyObject , "Appointments", acTable, , "Appointments_NEW"
Unfortunately this just made Appointments and Appointments_NEW clones of one another - changes in one automatically occur in the other.
What I actually want to do is to swap the names round in the backend database while maintaining the right links to the frontend.
Is this possible using vba in the frontend?

I have an Access datebase, where main tables are built and saved.
Also, I have 2 Access modules, which access informations in main tables in an Access datebase (I used Linking to table) and process information in query.
Questions: Linking to tables in another datebases will make perfomance of the module worse ? If the answer is Yes, then in which scale ?
I have a form in a DB and I would like to make it work so that when a user user chooses a job department (choice of 10). When they choose the department I want the next field on the form to only show the job classifacations(5 in each department so 50 if all show) in that department. Right now all I can do in make it so they need to choose from many job classifacations (50 of them as explained above where 45 have nothing to do with the department first choosen) and most of them don't relate to that department at all. Is it possible to do? I have limited macro knowledge and no code ability.
Thanks
I have a code for linking tables. It works on Access 32 bit.I modify the code for 64 bit (include PtrSafe after all Declares, etc...)But it doesn't work.When I try to chose database in dialog window, my program closed.
Code:
Public Function GetDbPath(path_name As String) As Integer
Dim i As Long
i = MsgBox("The path to database is incorrect" _
& Chr(13) & "Chose new path?", vbOKCancel + vbExclamation)
If i <> vbOK Then
DoCmd.Quit
Exit Function

hi to all,
I have a software which links itself to a fox pro database/tables. Now i want to link some of these free tables or database from fox pro to access. Whenever there is a slight change in the fox pro tables/databases they must reflect directly into access database. Is this possible and how?
thanks,

Hi,
This may be a simple question, but I'd like to reassure myself, so here goes. I have a database which is used to produce a pile of reports, and the tables are linked to a second database. I now need to update the reports, and add new data for this year. But the second database is password protected, and yep, I don't know that password. (I'm taking over this project from someone who left 3 years ago - I haven't just forgotten the password honest!)
Is it ok to import new data to the second database, and still carry on producing reports?
What if I want to change the properties in one of my linked tables? Can I delete the link, change the property, and then reapply the link?
Thanks for your advice,
Antro.
Hi, There seem to be a serious bug in Access 97, and I want to know if anyone has encountered this before.
I tried to describe the problem as best as I can, I also included a flash video to describe everything, here it is:
http://naderchehab.googlepages.com/linkedtablebug.swf (~1 MB)
My database has two tables:
- dbo_InventoryLocation which is linking to SQL Server 2000 via ODBC which contains inventory quantities for each product, and
- tblPRODUCTS_BUSINESS which is linking to another access database on the network and contains product information
(item number, title, description, and a field called "InvCategory" which describes item categories). I wrote a very simple query that links these two tables together:
SELECT tblPRODUCTS_BUSINESS.InvCategory, dbo_InventoryLocation.ItemNumber
FROM tblPRODUCTS_BUSINESS INNER JOIN dbo_InventoryLocation
ON tblPRODUCTS_BUSINESS.Item_Number = dbo_InventoryLocation.ItemNumber
GROUP BY tblPRODUCTS_BUSINESS.InvCategory, dbo_InventoryLocation.ItemNumber
ORDER BY tblPRODUCTS_BUSINESS.InvCategory;
The query really doesn't matter, it's just a test. Now here's the weird part:
when I execute this query, and I scroll down to a specific category and count the number of items in that category, I see about 50 of them.
But if I specify that category as a criteria, I see more than 200!
I also noticed that this problem does not happen when I use non-linked tables.
I hope anyone has an idea what that problem might be, and I hope there is a way around it.
Thanks,
Nader
Hi there,
was wondering if there is way to link tables in Microsoft Access, if the primary key is not matching 100%, for example lets assume that we have two table, with fruit type as their content.
Table1
FruitType
ORANGE
APPLE
PEAR
Table 2
FruitType
ORAN
PPLE
EAR
as you can see the content in the second table is somewhat incomplete or corrupted "Orange" is missing an "E", "Apple" is missing an "A", and "Pear" is missing a "P".
Thanking in advance
i have imported 5 excel files and linked to a query named stock.i have linked the code,description and quantity from each table (ms excel imported) to stock.
the problem is not all the codes available in the tables r available in stock.there r
more than 25000 codes but only 2614 r listed in stock.i dunno whether its the problem with the way i have linked.so if u can help me with the problem i will be really thankful.
5 excel sheets contains the code,description and qty of 5 shops.in the query stock contains 1st column-id,2nd column-code,3rd column-description and 4th,5th,6th,7th,8th column the qty from 5 excel sheets respectively.i have given the images below of 1st shop(similarly 2,3,4 and 5 r made).the image of relationship is also given.so pls help me.
We are sharing an Access 2003 database amongst two departments that contains twelve (12) tables that are SQL Server linked tables. Nine (9) of the tables work just fine for people in both departments. Three (3) of the tables cannot be opened until the user refreshes the link(s) using their ODBC DSN.
We do not understand why nine of the tables work without issue but three will not.
Has anyone ever run into this issue before? Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
Thanks

I have an access 2010 Database connected to a MySQL database through a ODBC 5.1 connector.
when I run the linked table manager, I get the message "Linked tables updated successfully" but the tables residing on the server do not update.
I have been running queries and reports with data from our company database (a third-party system based on FoxPro2.6) by linking tables into MS Access 97 for years. We have now upgraded to XP and Office 2003, and suddenly I can no longer do this but get a message "Could not find installable ISAM".
I've tried to locate the required file on the Internet but no luck so far. Can anybody help me? I am currently using an old pc with Office 97 on it to run the reports, but it's in a different office location and makes the whole job very tedious. Are there any work-arounds?
Any help much appreciated!

Hi everybody. I got a query that displays object name and object type of access 2000 db. Unfortuenly it dose not display the linked tables objects(linked to tables in acccess 2000 db). could an expert tell me how i can fix this query so it displays linked tables object as well.Thanks
SELECT MsysObjects.Name AS ObjectName, IIf([type]=1 Or [type]=6,"Table","Query") AS ObjectType
FROM MsysObjects
WHERE (((Left$([Name],1))<>"~") AND ((Left$([Name],4))<>"Msys") AND ((MsysObjects.Type)=1 Or (MsysObjects.Type)=5 Or (MsysObjects.Type)=6) AND ((MsysObjects.Flags)=2097152 Or (MsysObjects.Flags)=128 Or (MsysObjects.Flags)=0 Or (MsysObjects.Flags)=16))
ORDER BY MsysObjects.Name;

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am having the problem of importing a database from Excel/Msaccess 2000 to a Msaccess 2000 database from which the data was originally exported. The Database consists of two tables connected in a querry and the two tables has a unique primary key thru which the two tables are linked using a querry. While importing only two tables are listed in the importing wizard and not the querry.
So how to import the data to the two tables connected by a querry using a primary unique key.
help me the procedure.

I am really new to Access 2010 as I normally use SQL so im sure this is a very basic question. I have a form where I have linked some sql tables to a table in access so the data gets stored in SQL. The form consists of many fields the basic fields are Policy ID, Name, Office, Month, Dept etc. At the moment users have to fill this in using comboboxes and text boxes but I want to change this so when the user puts in the Policy ID all the other fields are populated ie in the office field it would have a sql query of or something that looksup the office from the policy id that is entered:
SELECT [Office] FROM DBO.DQ
WHERE [Policy_ID]='what is entered into the Policy ID field' and so on.
Also not sure if this works but as I have now linked the tables to SQL does this mean that when a user fills in the information into the form it will then update the SQL table or is this another issue?
I recall reading somewhere (fairly recently) about a parameter or property in Access which is "On" by default and allows a form/query to identify when backend table field names or query arguments are changed and automatically looks for and "fixes" the renamed link. By leaving this switched ON, the database is slower than it could be. The db speed performance can be can be improved significantly by switching this 'feature' off. (i.e. Name of the property)
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'd like to secure my frontend by disabling access to the linked tables, queries etc. I thought converting to .accde would do this but apparently not. Is there a way that this can be achieved?
I am aware that I can disbale the ribbons etc but they can all be turned back on using the options menu.
I understand right off the bat if you're reaction is "don't duplicate data!!" -- mine would be too (don't fret, I know my normalization).
I've linked a table in my db to my Global Address Book in Outlook 2007 and, upon entering an employee number as a new record, would like to verify that the number entered is listed in the GAL and then pull in the associated name and location info.
The key is that I don't want this info to rely on the GAL going forward. For example, if an employee leaves or is no longer listed in the GAL, I don't want to lose the employee info (past data is needed for audit purposes). Note: I will be creating a report later to show if there are discrepancies between the GAL and my table, but that's another story...
So, what would be the best auto-fill options in Access 2007?
