I've been asked to come up with a way (one-off) of renaming over 100 hundred tables. The table are all called "STUD_ADMIN_blah". We need to remove the "STUD_ADMIN_" part of the table name.
Is there a nice easy way of doing this without having to physically rename each table individually?
Thanks in advance.

In MS Access , form,
how can write the VB for rename the table name?
If I created the table named "app"
then I made a button for rename the table to "aaa"
How can I write?
Thanks.
I'm having about 100 table with the following name: phres01, phres02, phres03 .....phres100
And I need to rename them to ph01, ph02, ph03 ... ph100 respectively
thus removing the "res" part of each table. Since the ctrl+h doesn't work for access LOL im in hella trouble.
I made the novice mistake of originally naming a field street #, so I changed it. I went to every place I thought it might affect and still it will not let me access my forms. Is there anyway to find all of the locations it might be and remove it? I am using Access 2010

I'm trying to change the name of a column in a table using SQL. I've tried different combinations but always get
"Syntax error in Alter Table statement"
SQL I've tried
alter table tblImport
rename column F1 to [Date];*
alter tblImport
rename column F1 to [Date];
alter table tblImport
rename F1 to [Date];
I've checked this out via some SQL sites & think the first version (*) is correct....can someone throw light on this? I'm using Access2000
This is complex, but here goes.
I am copying many many music cds to my hard drive. However, the song file names on the cds are track01.mp3, track02.mp3, etc. I have all the real songnames for each cd listed in the database. I need a way to rename the songs with their real names one cd at a time. My thought was to populate one table with the directory and filenames (track--) of the songs and populate another table with real songnames from the database. Then, somehow, rename the files. I'm lost. I hope someone can help!
I was working on my DB, cleaning up some of the field name that were cumbersome and everything worked fine. Today I was doing some follow up work and I cannot change the field names. All I want to do it change the name of a field from CITY to City, but it won't let me do it. I have tried, change from single click to double click, but I was already using double click to open an object; unchecked Auto-Correct, still nothing.
Yesterday I was able to modify a name from Actions to Action (simply deleting one letter. And State/Province to StateProvince. Worked fine. What bothers me is that I have been able to change a field name before and now I can't. I have tried compact and restore, etc.
I am importing different excel sheets into Access dB using a file dialog. The importing works fine however, I would like to rename the tables once they are imported to the name of the first column heading. Where exactly would I ad the name change at in this code?
#' Open the EXCEL file and read the worksheet names into a collection
Set colWorksheets = New Collection
Set objWorkbook = objExcel.Workbooks.Open(StrFileName, , blnReadOnly, , _
strPassword)
For lngCount = 1 To objWorkbook.Worksheets.Count
colWorksheets.Add objWorkbook.Worksheets(lngCount).Name
[Code] .....
I made a Point of sale using a form with different sub-forms which have command buttons on it. They basically run a append query from tblStockMain to table cash and on to transactions. That works all fine no problem.
The one missing thing to make it sweet is to rename the command buttons automatically from tblStockMain. With other words, if I change a product in the table it would change the name on the button and the picture if possible with it.
Is there a way to do it?

Hello everyone.
I've been in a new position for a new company for less than three weeks, and I need some help.
The Access database that we use has been in operation since 2002, and it has never been Compacted/Repaired (I asked my coworkers and supposed IT people, and they said "what's that?").
After adding *one* new field, I've reached the horrific "error 3190" (max 255 fields).
I've tried all of the following, allowing at least 12 hours for them to run, but I cannot:
export the data to Excel
import the data into a new database
copy/paste the records (because there are 12100+ and the max is 9500, I think; and because of the way the dd/mm/yy converted itself to dd/mm/yyyy)
or rename the table with the data.
Please, someone help me.

Hello, All.
I have a table that collects training information for our company. Some training is limited to one or two employees and that is easily entered by using a form linked to the table. However, some training is mandatory, company-wide training that all employees must attend. How can I add a record for each employee reflecting this training most efficiently? Is there a way to do a mass update?
Thanks.
Hello,
I'm trying to update this movie database, and I need something to save me time, not to mention my finger.
One field in this db tracks if a movie is colour or black/white. In the old/existing db, that was done with text - "color" and "black & white". I want to replace that with a yes/no field [Color].
But the db has a few thousand entries.
What I would like to do is either change all of the [Color] fields in the new db to yes, and then manually uncheck the ones that are b/w. But I guess it should also be possible to do the whole operation automatically.
Any ideas as to how to accomplish either of these would be appreciated.
Thank you.
I recently posted a question in the REPORTS section asking if it was possible to generate a report that contains only the email addresses of my contacts to generate and send a mass email. There were no responses to that...so that makes me ask - Is there anyway in Access to generate mass emails using only the email address field in a table or query?
I am aware of other programs you can buy to do that - but was hoping to stay within Access.
Thanks for any help!
I am sending out multiple emails to my customers in my customer table manually. As it is time consuming to send to about 100-200 customers daily, I am wondering if it is possible to automate the process in access in such a way that I can load all files from a particular folder and the access application will be able to sort the files in the folder for each company based on their name in the field(e.g.CompanyABC_DailyReport,CompanyDEF_DailyR eport) before sending out.
Any advice will be appreciated.:)
I have several thousand hyperlinks that need to be changed due to our network server being changed. I have tried to change the hyperlink field to a text field and do a find and replace. (See mandaman post 3/13/06) The problem that I have is that all the hyperlinked fields have a different text comment in the field to identify the hyperlink to the user. When I change the hyperlink field to text then it thinks that the text in the field is the hyperlink and in fact it has nothing to do with the actual hyperlink. Any suggestions?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello, I have been working on my database for sometime - searching this forum for answers, thanks to all the experienced people for their sharing of knowledge.
My question is this: My database will be over several years of data, on my splash screen (switchboard) I would like to have a combo box of with choices for years. When a user chooses a year, the entire database is filtered. Say if the choice was for 2005, then anything with a binderdate of 01/01/05 to 12/31/05 will be filtered.
This will need to be done across several tables, queries, forms, and reports.
Once the choice is made for that year - any form the user is on will be filtered for that specific year.
I am still fairly new at access programming, so any code snips or working examples would be greatly appreciated.

Hello gang!
I've read through many of the threads relating to sending Email from Access but can't seem to find quite what I'm looking for. I work as a Tutor Coordinator at a local college and I've set up Access to handle a lot of the day-to-day chores that our administrative assistant has to deal with.
One feature that would be absolutely wonderful would be to create and send Emails to students at the click of a button. I have several types of Email I'd like to be able to set up, but the one most needed (and probably most complex) is this:
Students come in to the office and request a tutor. If we have a tutor available, we assign them to an available tutor. If there is no tutor availabe, then every Friday we send out an Email to each individual student saying something like this:
"Dear John Doe - We currently do not have a tutor for MATH 101 at this time, but when one becomes available we will let you know... blah, blah, blah..."
I'd like to set it up so that the body of the message comes from a template - such as a text file (that is easily edited by a user) and populated with fields from a query.
Probably do something like this:
Query the Student_First_Name_field, Student_Last_Name_field, Department_Name_field, Course_Number_field, and Student_Email_field. Send an Email to each Email address pulled from the Student_Email_field and tell them the following - "Dear <first name, last name> we currently do not have a tutor for <department name, course number> at this time... blah, blah, blah..."
Currently the way the administrative assistant handles this is to send each student an Email individually - manually creating each Email with the specific data needed. As you can guess, this is quite time-consuming.
I'm rather new to Access but have been a RDMS programmer (in PICK) for several years. I know what it is I want to do, but don't know how to do it in Access.
Any help?
Would the best way be to use text files for templates?
Can text files be set up with field codes (Access recognizes "<LAST NAME>" to be Student_Master_Table.Last_Name_field)?
I'm guessing this will likely have to be a Visual Basic loop that works with data from a query.
Help? *grin*
I have two tables.descriptions I'd like to relate and use to find/replace in bulk.
[Checking].[Description] (with the source data)
[Rename].[NewDescription] (with the correct data)
I'd like the values in [Checking].[Description] to be replaced with the values in [Rename].[NewDescription], including those that are "Like".
Examples:
[Checking].[Description] = Geico 12345
[Rename].[NewDescription] = Geico
[Checking].[Description] = Geic
[Rename].[NewDescription] = Geico
I have a database for clients and have set up a form and code to run a query for different types of clients and to send emails to the group.
Everything works fine until I try to send and then I get a Microsoft Outlook pop-up which states:
"A program is trying to automatically send e-mail on your behalf. Do you want to allow this? If this is unexpected, it may be a virus and you should choose "No."
This message stays for 5 seconds and then I can click on "YES" and it will send the email, and start all over for the next recipient.
I am assuming this is an Outlook Spam Blocker, but is there any way to stop it?
Thanks
How do you make a mass table change from http:// to mailto:. I made the field hyperlink but I wanted it to be able to email the contact.
Please help. :confused:
I have 300++ Excel files that contain data in the format of column1 = textual identifier, column2 = numerical value. Each file can have up to 1300 rows. The text identifier will be 95% the same in all files with slight variations.
I want to create a database to store the numerical value of each identifier from every excel spreadsheet and average the value.
This should be ~1300 instances, each with 300++ value assigned to it. Then run a report to pull the average value of every instance/identifier.
My (many) questions as follows..
-Is Access a good way to go about this?
-Is there an efficient way to bulk import from excel ( I just saw a script to do this below )?
-How to set up tables/queries/relationships?
So I am building a database to track PTO. I already have a form set up with an append query but what I want to do it use a list of check boxes to create mass appends incase a large group of people leave, Holidays, etc. Instead of having to do them individually.
