Modules & VBA :: Consolidate Tables From Multiple Databases Into One Database
Jan 21, 2014
I have one Master database and multiple child databases in a folder. Each of these databases (both Parent and Child) have identical table called "source". I need a VBA code which will consolidate tables of child database into the Parent database table.
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.
I have two tables in my Access database. Table 1 has three columns, First Name, Last Name and Phone Number. Table 2 has just 2 columns, First Name and Last Name. What I would like to do is write a VBA macro to consolidate Table 2 into Table 1 and insure any duplicate First Name-Last Name combination is removed.
Table1
Code: F.Name L.Name Tel.N. John Smith 12345 Larry Miller 12344 Tony Woods 12333
Table2
Code: F.Name L.Name Albert Black Larry Miller John Bush
Table1 Post-Macro
Code: F.Name L.Name Tel.N. John Smith 12345 Larry Miller 12344 Tony Woods 12333 Albert Black John Bush
Hi all, i hope this is posted in the right place first of all :) apologies if not..
I have about 8 individual databases which will be used simultaneously by users. I wish to be able to have full control over these databases from a 'master database' including being able to delete the data in there (possibly import fresh data but not 100% needed) and export data to be analysed in Excel etc I figure this can be done with access but if i'm on the totally wrong track i would be appreciative if someone could give me a push in the right direction..
If any more infomation is needed then let me know.
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..
Each month I get the previous months data. In that data, I have a list of names that have duplicates in them. Some of the names have last, first middle. Some have just last, first. I want to combine the like names and leave the unlike names not combined.I want to combine in this situation
ex. Smith, Peter Smith, Peter W
I do not want to combine in this situation ex. Smith, Peter M Smith, Peter W
My goal is to get the original name in a table with the combined name next to it.
I have 3 tables of data, where I want to cross reference information to produce exception reports.
The tables all have Employee number held within them, and these form the basis of my queries.
We want to be able to cross reference locally held staffing information with centrally held HR and payroll records.
The type of information we want to be able to check, is if the hours of the individual are the same in all 3 records, the grade they are being paid for, the cost centre, and that the names match.
Currently we run separate queries for all of these, and I want to be able to consolidate the exceptions in one report, to save looking at the same persons record more than once.
For example, if John Smith has a different name, grade and cost centre are all different - we may be accessing his record 6 times, once for each variance against payroll and HR records.
Is there a way that I can pull all this information together to speed up the reconciliation process?

I need to consolidate mailing addresses so that many records are grouped to one invoice based on the address they fall under. I am currently using an update query to change addresses that are similar to match exactly. Is there a way to make it so the addresses group together based on similarities rather than exact matches? For example I have two addresses:
1301 W Johnson Street Phoenix, Arizona 85725 1301 West Johnson St Phoenix, AZ 85725-7201
These are the same property however without cleaning them up manually to match, two invoices will be printed. Is there a way to consolidate these?
The above table suits me well for data entry.For analysis reasons, I want it to have another table or query or something (let's call it "Teacher Info") that looks like this:
Is there any way that I could do this? I have been struggling with this for a while.Just so you know how this data is connected - At the moment, I have a form where I put in new Teacher information. I have a subform attached to that, where I put the student names and numbers. This way, the students are linked with their student #s, and each of them are linked to a teacher. Unfortunately, the table ("New Teacher Registration") that this creates looks like this:
id....Teacher Name 62...... Alice (+ tab).........A.........432 ...................B.........674 ...................C.........875 18.......Katie (+ tab).........D.........934 ...................E.........345 4........Dan (+ tab).........F.........134 ...................G.........734
I created the "Student Info" table (above) from this to work with data entry (drop-downs and such). Now I'd like to create a "Teacher Info" table (above) for analysis.
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.
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 made a database that in one of the forms, I like by clicking on a button the user be able to select 5 excel files with different file names (in the same directory) and then based on the imported file's names, it be stored in 5 different tables.
At the moment by using the bellow code, I can import multiple files (with the same formats) only into one table . My vba code comes as follow:
Function GetAllFiles() Dim fd As Object Dim strFilter As String Dim lngItems As Long
Const msoFileDialogOpen As Long = 3 Const msoFileDialogViewDetails As Long = 2
I have a MS ACCESS 2010 database with a data table which i am trying to create a query from. I have 6 columns of data( one with an ID Field and 5 Name Fields). Below i have made examples of how it first appears as a simple query and the second will show you what i would like it to look like.
What the simple query looks like: [URL] ...
Second what I want the query to look like: [URL] ....
A small issue I was wondering of for a few day . Is it possible in SQL query to SELECT multiple fields from multiple tables ? Example for the question is
Code:
dim my_var as String my_var = "SELECT Emp_FName , Emp_LName , Emp_Adress " _ & " FROM Table1 " _ & " AND Emp_Date_Of_Payment , Emp_Sum_Of_Payment " _ & "FROM Table2 " _ & " WHERE Emp_ID = 3 "
Is this code actually valid in SQL gramatics , and is it usable if passed to a Recordset variable ( rs = CurrentDB.OpenRecordset(my_var) ) ? Just FYI - The two tables are not related and I want to keep them that way (If possible relate their records just via SQL/Vba )
I try to call one database forms and tables into another database without creating tables and forms.
Database where (target) i need to open forms and tables: insurance.mdb (In the same database I click on TOOLS - REFERENCES and add accountreceivable.mdb as i need all forms and table from that database)
Database from where (source) i need forms and tables accountreceivable.mdb
I try to call forms and tables from accountreceivable.mdb into insurance.mdb. Do i use the below function in insurance database to open tables and forms from 2nd database. If i do where should i write this function i mean in the module of insurance database or in the module of accountreceivable database. How to i call that function
Function OpenForm(byref vformname as string) as boolean docmd.open vformname,,,,,acdialog
Hoping someone may be able to point me in the right direction.
I've got several databases used for different tasks, in which I just added an hyperlink to them from a front end database. All my team could access any of the data bases at once. It was using the WINNT/MS OFFICE mdw file.
Since my last question, I've now managed to set up a MS Workgroup Administrator file, which is on a shared drive. Everyone has joined this workgroup, and when people logon it now greets them with their name and records their name against any tasks. Thanks to everyone for their help with setting this up.
But since I created this new workgroup, we can't access more than one database at at time. It comes up saying 'mdw file is in use'. However, one person in the office can. I've looked at all the setups for individuals, and can't see any difference between ours & this one individual.
Ok, this is only a very general question, but I'm hoping somebody here can give me some general advice.
Basically, I have three separate database which I've written for my company. They were all written at different times, hence the fact there are three and not one that does three things. The first is used to raise, edit, delete, and track RMA records for returned merchandise. The second is used to raise, edit, and track Training data for people who have undergone my training course. The third is my main database that contains all of my clients' details, plus a log of all calls taken from them. This is the largest and most complex of the databases and has some fairly advanced relationships setup to enabled hundreds of call logs to be linked to a single record of necessary.
Now all three databases have been written using the same kind of structure. They all use popup modal forms to prevent malicious/accidental damage to the database by the staff who use them. They are all locked down and Access cannot be broken into whilst they are running. they all also have their own primary keys.
All these databases work just fine, but I'm now a little tired of each staff member having three shortcuts on their desktops, depending on which database they need to use. what I'd really like to do is somehow merge all three of these databases into one single database, and alter the switchboard accordingly to allow users to access any of the three parts of it.
The problems - as I see them - are: (a) that my main database uses a lot of relationship links to maintain certain records, whilst the other two use none, and, (b) that each database, having been written separately, has records with their own ID keys and autonumbers.
I did toy with the idea of having some kind of function on my main switchboard that would allow me to close the current database being used and open another, all without closing Access, but I haven't been too successful in my tests...
...so, my question is, does anybody have any bright ideas as to how I can go about merging these three, or, at very least, centralising access to all three?
I'm hoping someone out there can help me out with a problem. I work for a company that creates websites for car dealerships. The process involves me inputing data to a standalone program which creates a database for each dealer. When I upload the information, the program I use creates an inventory.mdb which is accessed through the asp pages I have. examples of finished product are: http://maconsales.com/freedom/inventory.asp http://maconsales.com/freedomnew/inventory.asp
We currently host about 13 dealers. What my boss is wanting me to do, and I'm having problems doing, is making it possible for someone online to visit our main site and view all inventory from all dealers without having to leave our site to look at each individual inventory. And I would like to do it without having to manually create a central database with all the inventory we have, about 1400 vehicles.
Is what I'm trying even possible? or am I looking at a long night of data entry?
I've inherited an Access Application which has (1) a number of linked tables that are used to seed the underlying SQL Server database.
This system has been set up and is working in Development. My task is to move it to UAT but with regards to point (1) above I can't see any alternative but to copy the Access Database, create a new System DSN and re-import the External Data from the new DSN. What I'd like to do is use the same Access Database to point towards DEV or UAT or PRD. Is this possible to do this or am I stuck with maintaining 3 different Access Databases ?
I am a developer with many years of experience but my Access knowledge is limited so any pointers would be helpful.
I inherited an interesting problem. I have 3700 tiny MDB files all of which contain the same table (same name, field structure, etc.), but different data. Each database has a slightly different name. It's the result of XML data mining.
I need to combine these 3700 tables from these different databases into one table in one database.
I can't see any way to automate this and as it's a one-time only project I don't know whether it's worth trying to automate it or if I should roll up my sleeves and just start apending tables.
Im working on a cross comparison database for the three food vendors for my boss. What is the best way to search across the three tables? They all have similar record titles but arent all uniform, and I cant change the records because I have to have the record names the same as the files that are being exported from the vendors websites. What would be the easiest way to search across three similar but not uniform tables in one database? Ive also tried to make three buttons to update the lists after I download the items to have up-to-date prices on the products but am unsure if they are actually working correctly.
Does anyone know if it is better as a general rule (server performance wise anyway) to connect to a single database with many tables or multiple databases with fewer tables??
In this case I have a small calendar database and large navigation/metadata database -- both are MS Access & connected to the same ASP page.
I maintain a simple Access database which about 30 other users have open every day and use it solely as a reference book. It is simply a large reference 'toolbox' with one form and many many sub reports in the form with links to refference guides for my users. Very often I need to add new reports and just new content overall to the database. My current process is to
1) make a copy 2) modify the copy with all my new content 3) Send and email with the file attached telling all 30 users to delete their old database and use this updated version.
Of course we have many issues including:
1) The files are very large in Lotus notes (is there a way to make these files a lot smaller) 2) Seems like a waste to delete and replace an entire database when only 1 or 2 minor links need to be changed every time. Is there a macro or some code I can create that would act as a patch where the 30 users can run the code and it will change hyperlink paths that I needed changed, report content or anything that needs changing.
gets around having all my users copy and replacing their database toolbox on their desktop. We all work out of a shared network drive so I can have them use the database together in a shared drive but its litterally impossible to have every hand out of the database all at once so I can go in and update, it just does not happen so if there is a work around for getting all users out of the DB, it could avoid having to do anything else.
