Local Table And ODBC Linked Table Don't Have Same Filter Options
Dec 31, 2014
In a local DB table or a data grid view, the columns have an arrow at the top next to the name. When the arrow is clicked, all the entries in that column are displayed with check boxes. They are listed underneath the "sort" and "text filter" options. I am working on a DB project with ODBC linked tables instead of a local access table.
My linked table does not have this same functionality. It is missing the names with check boxes where I can select individual entries. I don't know the correct terminology for this functionality I am describing. That makes searching tough. What this is called and why the tables would be different.
I am about to start working on a new project where I have a front-end in Access2000 that is linked to a ODBC Data Source (ORACLE).
There could be some performance issues in the future, when the users have to retrieve (query) the data from the ODBC over the network and it slows down. Nothing is sure yet, but when this is the problem, I will need to look at an alternative plan. I had the following in mind:
I would like to create a scheduler program, that will retrieve all the relevant data from the ODBC and update the tables that are local to each user’s Access .mdb file. Can I do something like this in VBA, or do I need to do something with the Windows Scheduler?
I 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.
I'm having trouble with a new project I'm working on. The application is mainly going to be used to display data, which comes from a linked table. It has to be a linked table (in my opinion) because it's replaced once per week from a fresh data dump. For each of those records, though, there will be notes made in a local table named "Custom-Data". My trouble is displaying a mix of information from the linked table, "Roster", and "Custom-Data" because linked tables can't be assigned a primary key.
Essentially, when a record is pulled up, a bunch of data from "Roster" will be shown in addition to the comments from "Custom-Data".
I have a database that is designed with a front and back end, with the FE linked to the BE. Some potential customers want to play around with the database, and the easiest way for me to get them access to it would be for me to combine the FE and BE and just give them a copy of that. how to link a table, and I know how to import a table. What I'm unsure of is how to cleanly convert a linked table to a local table.
Well, heres the situation. I have a complicated query that refuses to work all the time using a linked table for the data (data is gathered from a FoxPro DB). If I copy the data into a local table in my database then the query will run fine.
The data needs to be updated only 1/month but I don't want to have to do it manually every month. I would like to use VBA to copy and paste the data from the linked table into my local table. Does anyone know of an efficient way to do this? I'm trying to avoid running a VBA loop and adding each record one-by-one (very slow).
I have Linked a few ODBC Databases to my database in the Tables objects. How do I make them usable for queries or as record source for my form? I tried to create a query but the ODBC databases do not show up in the Table options.
I have built a form without a record source as i need to mess around with the fields before i save.
On save, i would like the form to save to an ODBC linked table in my database.
I save the record through a save button which has the following code attached to its on_Click event.
' NOTE: DAO 3.6 code Dim db As Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set db = CurrentDb Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("tblODBCLinked", dbOpenTable) With rs .AddNew .Fields("Country") = Me.txtCountry .Fields("ID") = Me.ID .Fields("Creation Date") = Now() .Update End With rs.Close Set rs = Nothing
I have no problem saving to a non-linked table with the above coding but always seems to fall over if as soon as i try to open the linked table. Ive debugged and the problem seems to be with opeing the table.
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("tblODBCLinked", dbOpenTable)
Thanks in Advance for any suggestions

I have an access 2002 front end and I am linked to a sql server express 2005 backend and in one of my tables I am getting this error when I add a record to a work order table. The error is ODBC connection on INSERT failed on linked table.
A few strange rhings happen. It only involves customers with over (approx.) 140 work orders (there is a one to many with customer to work order). All other customers seem to be immune to this.
Also, if you go to the tables directly from a access database window, you can still add/edit or delete records, but in the form view, it gives you an error.
I have tried several things including changing code (the orgional code was set dbs= currentDB and dbs.execute("INSERT.......)
I have found similiar posting but no real direct causes. does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this?
Although familiar with CR, SQL and other such things. I have never had cause to use Access all that much.... Until Now!
My problem is easiest explained by my requirements....
I have a db table called Source. The data for this Table is populated by a form called Technical. Technical containes a series of fields (SO No, SO Line No, WO No etc etc). Some of these fields are lookup fields linked directly to the SO_Header Table in our main ERP software via and ODBC connection. The result is the SO No field is populated with a list of Sales Order No's as they exist within the ERP software. Within the Technical Form I have also the Customer Name.
This is where the problems begin. Within the ERP software we have two tables which I need to use: SO_Header and Customer. The SO_Header contains all the Sales Order info and the Customer table contains all the customer info. What I need to do is populate the customer name field in by db with the relevant customer based on the SO No chossen. However the Customer Name does not exist in the SO_Header table. Instead both the SO_Header table and the Customer tables contain a field called Cust_Code.
Now if I wanted to link these in Crystal Reports I would link from the SO_Header table to the Customer table using the Cust_code field. This would give me the corresponding Customer name based on the Sales Order No.
How can I get the correct Customer Name to appear automatically in my Access form based on a SO No chossen by the user?
I would realy appreciate any help on this! If you need me to clarify anything please ask.
Using access 2007 (and tried 2003) I have a linked ODBC table which is using an ORACLE driver. If I query the table directly through ORACLE/SQL for a particular 'job number' I get the following results:
As you can see it only displays the MAX date/time and associated data from the 4 available records, duplicating the record. I've checked the field formats and they all look fine. It does the same if I pull through the table on it's own or with other linked tables.
I have a number of databases that use ODBC connections for working with linked tables from a SQL database. The source SQL data has been moved to a new server with new sa credentials. I have updated my local ODBC connections to use this new information. However, when I added numerous tables to the databases I checked the box to save the password so that it wouldn't prompt me or other users every time I wanted to use the Access database. Is there a way in Access to change this stored password? So far I haven't been able to find one.
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 :-(
ive set up an access db which is linked to another access db- i need to be able to filter by form on the table linked to the othera ccess db- it allows me to on the original but not on the linked table giving me:
I have a form that is based on a linked table of students eligible to complete a online survey. Within that form, I have a sub form (based on another linked table) of students who have completed the form and at what date and time.
Only about 1 in 10 eligible students complete the form.
I'd like to filter by students who have completed the form, and sort by date submitted.
So I have the main form called "students" and the subform with the date submitted is called "New - BasicInfo subform" and they are linked by student ID. The date submitted field in the subform is formatted like "5/6/2013 3:07:32 PM".
I've tried adding this to me "filter" field in the STudents form properties:
Between [Students]![New - BasicInfo subform]![05/06/2013] AND [Students]![New - BasicInfo subform]![10/01/2013]
I am trying to make a stand-alone version of a database whose files are mysql files connected by odbc. When I copy the linked files and save them as local files, they come in with the auto-numbered id field still marked as the primary key, but as just "number" and not auto-number. It does come in marked required. I can't change the type to auto-number, so it errors when the user tries to add a record using the input form. Also, I have the fields used to keep true/false data set up in the mysql files as integers with default values of 0. When they are saved as local tables, they come in marked required but without a default value. Hence, when a user enters a new record in a form that doesn't use that particular check box, it errors. What am I missing? Is there an easy way around this?
I have a SQL table that holds financial data. There are 12 columns labled Acct_Per01 through Acct_Per12. I need to select specific GL codes and sum the values in these columns as various groupings, Private, Commercial, Ancillary etc. for each of 14 hospitals.
How can I best create a working table where I have one record for each hospital for each fiscal period.
I want the final table structure be be like the sample below.
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)
(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)
(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 have a form based on a query where I want to document the status of certain records. The original data is on a SQL server so I am linking to it in my query. I have a local table with the added fields to document my review and status. My query has both tables in it and are linked by the report number. So I have join properties to show all records from the SQL database and only the records in the local table that match. So initially the data in my local table will be blank. I want to use the form to add comments on the status. The problem is, when I type in the form fields nothing happens. It's like the query is confused and won't let the form write back to the local table.
So my question is, do I have my query set up properly so that I can read the fields from the SQL database and yet write in my comments to the local table. I am using a select query.
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

I am adding a exisiting field which is already available on a Global Table and would like to add it on a local table within the same database. Also bearing in mind the db contains main objects - Tables/Queries/Sharepoint lists/forms/reports
Whats the process in doing this? Once added how does the data get populated?
I'm curious about everyone's opinion of creating an Options table to keep track of things like defaults vs. using the system registry.
Example: For a montly report, I'd like to remember the previous end-date the user picked and use previous end-date+1 as the starting date the next time the user runs the report to make it easier on the user.
I’m really new to access, learned through video professor. I have access 2000 Question: my main table contains basic client info. There is a yes/no field on it. When I click on the box in the form I would like to link it up with another table that I will create with some of the fields already filled out (name, Phone…) from the first table. Example: the y/n box is labeled as “Buyer” if I click yes in the form; I want to create another table that asks more questions about the ones who are buyers only. In the second table, I also want a few of the fields to fill in automatically with some of the info from the first table (ID#, name, phone#...). thanks
