Modules & VBA :: How To Alter Tables In SQL Server From Access
Jul 7, 2015
I have an access front-end package that works just fine but if there is an update, I just want the program to run scripts to update the SQL Server tables that it is connected to. I just don't know how to do this. I know how to do this on SQL Server Management studio and all, I just was hoping I could do it straight from my access front end so that a user could just click a button and update the tables or something.

I have an Access 2010 front end with linked tables via ODBC to a SQL Server back end. Is it possible to add, delete, and otherwise alter the tables on the SQL server from the Access front end? I've tried the following but received an error "cannot execute data definition statements on linked data sources"
DoCmd.RunSQL "alter table [dbo_tblAccountsMvOld] add column [cnt] byte;"
Is there code that will let me do this?

We have a database which has a table with 2 fields - here is an example of the data:
Order File Path
240971 cclapps1scannerWorks Orders 2008Works Orders 2008ITL1ITL1TMSPC11.GFD
We basically need to change the file path to read cclapps3 instead of cclapps1 in every record.

I need to update data in a bunch of tables of a sql server database. The database has 300 tables which I have linked via odbc. I'm hoping there is a simple way, using vba, to loop through my linked sql server tables and determine which of them are views as opposed to tables.

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

How can I add an additional field to a table based on the output of a query? For example, I have table A with 2 types of records and table B with only 1 type of record. Based on this, I can determine which records in table A are the same type as those in table B. I would however like to be able to flag within table A, those records in table A that are the same as those in table B.

I have an Access 2010 application that talks to SQL Server. Part of the application creates tables on the SQl Server and inserts data to it (I know SQL Server has its on data inport/export wizard and bulk insert capabilities but for reasons outside of my control it needs to be done from Access). So I have a connection to the SQl Server and i have VBA that happily executs SQL statements on the SQl Server. The problem is I want to return a recordset from the result of a SQL query issued to the SQL Server. The idea being to check for the presence of tables already created, and if so, append to the already existing table, otherwise if it does not exist, create it and insert data to it.Ive tried the following code but it seems no recordset is being returned:
Set objConnection = New ADODB.Connection
objConnection.Open "DRIVER={SQL Server};SERVER=10.200.3.14;trusted_connection=yes; DATABASE=" & Me.Combo54
strSQL = "SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHERE TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE' AND TABLE_NAME = '" & Me.Combo54 & "'"
strSQL = "USE " & Me.Combo54 & " " & strSQL
Set Rst = cmd.Execute("USE " & Me.Combo54 & " " & strSQL)

I have some code set up to automate scanning from access to a specific folder on the server. I have searched the web for different codes and have not come across anything that will scan an unknown amount of documents. The best I found was the code I am currently using, that will scan up to 10 documents separately, then convert these documents into 1 PDF. This is not ideal, however, because it would require the user to scan 1 document, wait, than scan another, wait, etc. Also, the code I am currently using will only scan from the glass, not the auto feeder, and I am unsure how to change this.
Private Sub cmdCOC_Click()
'scan COC
On Error GoTo Err_Handler
Const DEVNAME As String = "Brother MFC-7860DW LAN"
Dim ComDialog As WIA.CommonDialog

I have Access 2013, Win 7, Outlook 2010 (32-bit).I want to send an email from Access, but not through Outlook. Instead I want to connect to an external SMTP server. I've found a few examples that doesn't work for me. With code including for example
Code:
Set ObjMessage = CreateObject("CDO.Message")
I get an "Error 429: Object can't be created in Active X-component" (My translation from Swedish).With code including this:
Code:
Dim oEMail As New CDONTS.EMail
I get "user defined type has not been defined" (my translation again).I have working code for sending email through Outlook, which works fine. But, Outlook adds a lot of span tags, making it impossible to read for certain screen readers used by visually impaired people, therefore I can't use Outlook.
I've tried to read up on the matter (CDO), and think that maybe the CDO library etc is not included on my computer?can I download it?

I need some simple code that will copy an Excel file or a table in Access to a specific location on an FTP server. I would think this would be a very simple task, but I have yet to find any sample code that is *simple*. I have seen lots of code that requires downloading this dll or that mda, but the examples don't work. There must be something built into MS Access 2010 that will allow a file to be uploaded to an FTP site.
All the variables are known:
The FTP location (it never changes)
The FTP Username and Password (they never change)
The destination folder on the FTP site (it never changes)
The File type (it never changes)
The File name (available from the form in Access from which this will be executed)
I can either produce an output file, then copy it to the FTP site, or I can export the table directly to the FTP site with the file name for that day.
This seems to be a very simple task with no simple solution. Currently I am using an FTP app to get the file to the FTP site, but I would like to automate this. The process that creates the output file is already automated, so I would just like to add this to the existing code as its own module.
I'm looking for a simple command on the idea of:
DoCmd.FTPFile, acExel, TableName, FTPFilePath, FTPFileName, Username, Password, acUpload
just made all that above up and none of it is a real function/command in VBA, but is just the kind of thing I'm looking for.
I would think that since I can download and XML file from an FTP site that it should be child's play to upload a simple file to an FTP site, but I can't figure it out.

I have created a code below to test whether I can run a query and retrieve a data from an SQL server table. And so far I can return the result using a messagebox. but somehow I just don't know how to use this connection to update the table inside this access file. Basically I want to use this as a front end file. then when the form is open it will automatically update the table inside this access file and load the data to the combo box as a list.
Code:
Option Compare Database
Sub LocalServerConn_Test()
Set conn = New adodb.Connection
Set rst = New adodb.Recordset
[code]....

I have a report which programmatically sets the value of some labels based on its own internal logic for each line of the detail section of a report. This all works fine and dandy, using the Detail_format event, and accessing detail.controls.item(x).caption.
HOWEVER, when I then embed the report as a subreport (which I need to do), I goes wrong. Here, I get the values of the last row of the detail repeated in every previous one. I'm suspecting because the parent report has its own 'detail' (I've tried giving the subreport its own distinct detail name).

I have two tables (Access 2010). One with a list of names (List1) and another with a very similar list of names (List2), but they differ in very small ways. For example, List1 might have John Smith, and List2 would have Smith, John L.; and Smith, John. List2 also has a unique ID associated with these names that I need to append to List1.
I need to design a form that will allow me to look up names in List1, and have it return all names that are similar in List2. I then need to be able to choose with record in List2 matches with the List1 entry (based on a few other columns in List2, such as birth date) and have the form add that unique ID to the List1 record.
PS: I am using Access 2010

I have A db that links to a SQL Server table via an odbc connection. The problem is that I have to set up the odbc datasource on each machine that needs to run the db. Can I set up an ADO connection to the table and use that connection as a record source through out the app to drive forms , reports, etc? (And this would eliminate the need to set up and odbc connection to the table on each machine...) :confused: :confused:

Hi,
Current situation:
We have various departments using a Db and some of the users have drive mappings to different to others (company reasons). So far we have had to create different front-ends for each section, not very useful for updates etc.
What I'd like:
To be able to link to the tables on the server using the server name and not a specific drive letter.
My question:
Is this possible some how?
Would using SQL server for the back end be a way of getting round this issue?
Thanks for any assistance as usual
Matt

Hi Guys,
I am new to this forum and I am hoping you can help. I have produced an Access 97 database on a PC on the hard drive (C I have sent this to a client but he cannot run it as the backend data files are in C: and he is running the whole access programme on the R: drive. As the front end is an MDE file is there anyway I could write the path to the linked files so that access can find them automatically. The same problem applies with the help files, how can you define the location of the help files when you don't know the end users server location?
Any advice would be most welcome.
Regards
Chris

I am in need of some assistance regarding SQL Server ODBC links and security. This is for a project at work...
1) I have an MDB that has linked tables through ODBC to a SQL Server 2000 database. This is how I chose to write this multi-user application (instead of the ADP method).
2) My IT department created a user ID that the application will use to connect to the database. They chose this method instead of having to create many user accounts with varying permissions. I have programmed permissions within the application.
3) After linking the tables through ODBC, it defaults to my Windows User ID for the connection. Because of this, I have used a connection string with the application's User ID/Password and perform a RefreshLink on all linked table definitions on startup to ensure valid connection.
This is successful, but my IT department is seeing that another user is attempting access to the SQL Server database--the username in the LDB/MDW file! This is what I don't understand. If I open the database without going through workgroup security, the word "Admin" is passed and the authentication fails. If my users would login through the MDW file, their user IDs would be passed and again, authentication will fail as they are not valid users (only the application ID would be valid).
What is really going on here? :confused: How can I prevent the "Microsoft Access User ID" from being passed through the ODBC link?
Here is a sample of the connection string I'm using:
Driver={SQL Server};Server=ServerName;PersistSecurityInfo=Yes; AnsiNPW=No;Database=DBName;Uid=Username;Pwd=Passwo rd;

I would like to use a local Access front end to edit tables linked to a SQL Server database located on my Internet host provider's server. I haven't been able to find any information about how to do this or whether it is even possible.
If I need to set up an ODBC source, how can I do that for a non-local (Internet) SQL Server database?
Can anyone help?
