Hi,
I wonder if there is a possibility to select a table from a database by using a sort of explorer window.
My problem is this:
I want to import a *.xls file in a table.
I want to be able to select a certain *.xls file from a list (so far no probs) en add it contents to a table selected in a browser window.
A table ofcourse who the exact field structure.
Anyone?
looking for a way to export the list of table names, table types & if they are linked (e.g. tbl Sales Linked .dbf or tbl Staff linked to excel) from a database - this has to be done for about 300 databases.
in an individual db, I have a make table query off of the table MSysObjects to get the data. The Database field tells me where the source of the linked table resides & the ForeignName field gives me an idea of the format of the data source (e.g. dbf or excel). I could manually import that query into each db, run it to get the table names, then copy & paste..
hi,
can anyone please tell wht's the query to check if database exists, if exists list all tables in database (in sqlserver) else raise error
Thanks in advance,

Hi just started working for a Company and I found they have tons of
databases but no structure or standard, so I would like to build a tool that will go thrue a list of databases and get all the table names, the items and type. Is there functions in vba that can get me a list of the tables in the database and the get all the items in the database ?
Thanks on any input
I'm trying to set up a simple query that links four tables. However, the tables are extremely large, all in excess of 1.5GB each so I had to split the tables up into four separate DBs. I've tried the following with no success:
1) Link the 4 tables in the DB which contains my primary key. This quickly inflates increases the file size above 2GB and won't let me go any further.
2) Build a remote query to connect the four tables. This looked promising until I tried to run the query and it became evident that it only knows to point to the last database source that you specified.
I'm running everything locally on my C drive. The data source are simple text files (1.6 million rows) from the FDA website.
I have 2 identical database in terms of structure but it differs in data.
Basically I would like to import data from subDatabase to mainDatabase and ensuring that there are no duplicate records.
I have used the "link to datasource method" through importing the tables to have the "updating" function.
However, this method also means that the records in mainDatabase are also imported over to subDatabase which I do not want.
Is there a method to ensure that the records are shared/update one way only? (i.e. import from subDatabase to mainDatabase and not main to sub?)
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?

My question is how can I create a table listed with numbers as an access list? Right now only the ######## has access but I'd like to create a table for numbers who will have access.
When you first open Access 2007 you can see a list of recent databases on the right under the heading 'Open Recent Database.'How do I clear that list?

I have broken up by master database, table, into several tables. They all share the same ID values since they came from the master table. So each table that I split off has a unique, matching, identifier, ID, in both the master table and the new table. Plus a previous matching identifier listed immediately below.
Example: Permit the master or main table and Builder a supporting table. There are five tables that I split off and all have an identifier similar to the two listed below.
Permit->ID
Permit->BLD
Builder->ID
Builder->BLD
All my tables have the same ID. But each table also has a identification numbers such as builder BLD, Subdivision SB and inspector INS>
Permit has the BLD, SB and INS
Builder has only one occurrence for each builder in the Permit table. As in the past it was identified by BLD number and now also ID. the use of BLD is from when I used visual dBase. The big difference here is that I have two ways to identify one is ID any other is by BLD, etc. My first thought is to identified by the BLD. I don't know why, but I guess I fear using a single "ID" to identify my various split off tables unique value or BLD.
I am testing the security of my DB X on Acccess 2007. I could create a new database Y and linked to the database X. Unfortunately i could change the records on the tables. I don't want other DB that make connections to my DB to change my tables!

I have been asked if I can add a priority list to my database and I am trying to figure out how to do it.
The database already exists and this would be added code/forms. Basically this database has a number of users, all identified by a login name. Each of these users have several projects assigned to them. The projects are identified by a unique project number.
What I need to do is to be able to list all the projects that a user has, which is easy to do by simply creating a query, but then the user needs to be able to type in a priority number (1 to infinity) for each of these projects with no number repetitions. If a project priority is updated, say from 6 to 2, then the projects that had priorities 2 to 5, get a +1 added to their priority number so they go 3 to 6. Likewise if a project gets "demoted" (priority is lowered) then the ones below go up one.
I have created a database of club members in Access 2010. Each day I need to generate a report of who comes to the club. Up to this point I have been using an Excel spread sheet of members that I copy and paste to new daily spreadsheets each day. how to do this.

I started a new thread, because it is a new subject even though is related to my Price List thread, I hope is OK.
If someone can please take a look at my attached Excel Price List (particulary the factors sheet) and give me an opinion of how my tables should be created.
I cleaned the Price List was too big to attach and it will be easier to be understood, in its entirety is kind of all over the place, exactly why I need to make simpler in Access for another user to update if I am not around.
I am below including what I think the tables should include, but not sure exactly how they should be, please be reminded that I am un unexperienced newbie.

I am doing a checklist database.
With some other data, i have a field called "Local". (combobox)
In that "Local" field i must select the place where the checklist is made.
So, i have 20 places to do checklists, and when i select one place and save the check list, i need that "local" is disable from my combobox list so i dont accidentally repeat it.
My combobox is based in a table query.
I must do 2 checklists per day for each those 20 places...
And i cant figure out how to remove those items after use them at the morning... and have them available again in the afternoon.
how do you loop through and insert selected data from a listbox on at a time?For example, lets say you have an insert statement that has a firstname, lastname, CarsID(foreign key) and address field. Lets say you had another table that has ID and CarsID(primary key) field. In the listbox, you have populated it with all the cars and they are selected.
Example:
INSERT INTO PEOPLE(firstname, lastname, CarsID) VALUES('John','Smith','Honda')
INSERT INTO PEOPLE(firstname, lastname, CarsID) VALUES('John','Smith','FORD')
I'm trying to create a checklist in my access database that can be assigned to different companies. Is there a way to maintain a blank checklist so that we don't have to recreate it every time we start working with a new company?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've added a list box to my form that displays a table. This table is completely independent and gains it's data from an Append query. There is also a Delete query, which clears the table for a new set of data, and an Alter query which resets an AutoNumber column in the table (so that new data sets always start numbered at 1).
Here's the problem: Since I've added the listbox and set the RowSource to the table, whenever I run the Append query I receive the error: "The database engine could not lock table 'tblLineSheet' because it is already in use by another person or process." I've made sure to close the table, but to no avail I still get this error. Without the List Box I don't encounter this error.
I have a question regarding the display of a list of numbers that are stored into a field of my database. Currently the numbers are comma-delineated which is fine with me, but I was wondering if there is a way to change the display of those numbers on the form so that it is easier to read.
Example:
current format - 1,2,3,4,7,8,9,10
desired format - 1-4, 7-10
Hello,
I am putting together a database for a charity and am having some problems. At present I am working seven days a week and my time for research is so limited that I can only ask here for advice since I have neither the time nor resources to seek it out myself.
We do mail shots to various trusts and businesses to appeal for donations. At present we have two large, bloated MS Works Databases (one for Trusts and one for businesses) that contain names, addresses and so on. I have taken on the task to make our mail shoots more efficient. My vision is that the majority of time should be spent searching out new business/trusts and organising events while actually doing the mail shoots should basically be done at the touch of a button (it won't quite work like that, but previously the actual mailshots took up about 80% of the time. I want to drive that number down)
Having no Access experiance whatsoever I set about creating a Database with twelve tables, one for each month. Each month would contain a list of places that we would "hit"
I then came across a problem. When I am searching out new addresses I would have to cross reference them on 12 different tables. This struck me as being impractical but at the time of creation I didn't have the foresight to create a masterlist. Although I do have the list on my Works DB, it would be useless as time passed since no more entries would be inputted on there.
I was hoping someone could tell me how I can put together a masterlist using the data I already have and maybe if possible setup the 12 tables in such a way that by inputting an entry on one of them will automatically crossover the name of the business to the masterlist without me having to enter it twice.
I realise this may sound confusing, and if i had more time I would research the answer myself but I am stretched to the limit and know too little about this application. I did try to take on a Lyndia (sp?) course but again I just don't have the time. If you have any questions, I will check back later to answer them.
I am using Access 2002 (but my DB is in Access 2000 format - so it says)
Thanks kindly.
I have a db which enables users to enter expenses.
tblExpense
tblExpenseDet
tbleExpenseMileage
tblExpenseDet & tblExpenseMileage are joined to tblExpense
As the expenses are entered at User Level not Client Level, I need to extract the Client ID from the 2 sub tables to create a list grouped by client so we can report the billable expenses.
I'm thinking union query but wouldnt know where to start.
Any help would be appreciated

Hi all,
I need some help with regards to a small db application im developing.
I currently have a form that contains two separate list boxes.
The first contains "Measures" and the second "Dimensions". They are based on the underlying tables Measures and Dimensions respectively.
My intention is to be able to select whatever Measures I want and select the dimensions they relate to in the other list box then click on a command button to run a query that would update/append my underlying table, Measures2Dimensions, which is linked to the tables that the list boxes are based on.
I hope I've described my problem well enough for someone to provide me with some help.
Many thanks in advance!
I want to validate the value of the list in the lookup in the table and create a list of the values that no match the values of the list..
