I have an access 2003 database where the table is linked from mysql.
I would like to know how it is possible to read a specific record from the linked tables using vba code.
From what I have read, I understand you can't use the seek command on a recordset from a linked table from another database. Is that true? If so, what is the alternative to find a specific record in the table using an indexed field?
View 4 Replies View RelatedAccess 2010. I have a form pulling from a query to create a "To Do' list of sorts. On this form is a button to open an input form for the corresponding record (I hope). When this button is used I want it to pull certain data for that specific line from the query and input it into the new record opened by the button. I know this is possible as I use another db that does this but I have not been able to figure out how to make it work in the new db.

I have created a query to show the fields from different tables but I am unable to add a new record. I have pin-pointed the problem to the Bottle_Speeds table. I believe it is the join that is preventing additions/edits (please look @ the attached picture) because as soon as I removed that table from the query I can add/edit.
Can anybody tell me why it is doing this and if it is possible to fix?
I would be happy if I could just edit the record, I can do a seperate form for adding.
Thanks in advance.
Hi All,
I hope somebody can help me on this.
I still use Access 97.
I have 4 tables that contain a vehicle registration number field as their primary key and have one-to-one referential integrity applied.
I want to add a new registration to all 4 tables from one query. How?
I've tried many permutations with no success, such as putting the registration on a new table and trying to apply this to the 4 RI tables. I keep getting ref intergrity violations. Obviously I could disable the ref integrity rules, update the tables and then reapply the rules, but this is not possible if I am going to make the database available to a user group. A new registration needs to be added seamlessly. By not having ref integrity could leave the DB in an inconsistent state.
Help! If what I want is not directly possible, then any work-round would be appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation

I want to use a Form or Report to have the end user enter say a Customer # or the Customer Last Name and then have Access pull and display that record so that the end user can than print all the saved information from that record.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a form that is opened as hidden when my startup form loads. Data gets entered into it from other forms so whenever I switch records the hidden form needs to be opened to the matching record.
To accomplish this, I have been using the DoCmd.OpenForm in the OnCurrent event with the WHERE clause matching the PK/FK. I have had no luck with the SearchFor method.
It seems silly to have to keep reopening a form to go to a specific record when the form is always open already. Plus, I am wondering if it is affecting the forms' load times.
Is there a better way to do this (there must be)?
Is it possible to use VBA or macros to open a table to a specific record?
I know how to open a table in database view using a command button. I'd like to have it open to or automatically scroll to and select a specific record, based on the content of the form. This way I don't have to spend time scrolling through the whole table to try and find the desired record.
I was wondering if there is a code for Next and Previous record in a form but for a specific value.
Example: I have a customer that has a specific ID and that customer has a list of orders that all contain that ID. When I open a form for orders I would like to be able by using Next and Previous record buttons to be able that was to move only through records of that customer not the whole list of orders for every customer.
I have a table that has two forms linked to it - one is the Main Form which is used to input the data for the bulk of entries, however on some entries there will be some additional data required which the other form (lets call it Time Form) takes care of.
What I would like to do is have a button on the Main Form that opens the Time Form, and then go to the specific record that is open on the Main Form;I have an ID field (Autonumber + Primary Key) which displays in a text box on the main form, and it would provide the number of the record for the second form to open.
Table Name: Admin
Field Name: userid, admin (Y/N), Password, ConPw, PasswordReset (Y/n), Createdby

I have a separate front and back end for my database. I`m trying to merge them into one application, for easier distribution to users, but I`ve found that things that worked previously now produce errors, even though all I`ve done is import the tables as opposed to linking to them.
For example, the line:
Forms!Referrals!Paycode = str_Paycode
works perfectly if using linked tables, but if the links are all removed and the exact same tables are imported, I get the message 'Object invalid or no longer set'.
Is there some difference between linked and 'in-built' tables that I'm missing?
I have two tables linked from SharePoint in Access 2007.
I need to update one table based on the data in another
My questions are
What is the best way to open linked tables - dynaset? Recordset?
are can I use the seek method?

I am pretty new to VBA coding and need running queries on specific tables. This is part of a multistep process, of importing data that needs to be transposed before appending to the "cleaned" database. First, users will save auto generated, Excel workbooks from a machine into a designated folder. I have code that will import these workbooks (an unknown number at a time) into Access in separate tables by workbook.
Each table will have a similar name, but different extension (ie Sheet101, Sheet102, etc.). This is where the issue arises. The files are in long form, not wide. I have a series of queries (unfortunately, they're not SQL queries, but I can convert them to be) that transform the data from long to wide. However, I do not know how to go about writing code that will run the queries ONLY on the imported tables (again an unknown number of tables with similar names), not the rest of the tables in my database. I'm guessing it involves a do loop, but I am not positive.
My problem is that I am trying to update a field (called 'Sold' which is a yes/no checkbox column) for a specific record whenever an event is triggered. I have two forms (derived from two tables), one is called frmInventory and the other is called frmSales. In frmSales, I made a combo box called 'cboItemID' that allows the user to select from a list of items from my inventory table. Each selection from the list has 4 properties, the first of which is the 'Item ID' from the inventory table. Lastly, I have a field in both frmSales and frmInventory called 'Sold' as mentioned above. What I want to do is that whenever I check/uncheck the box in the 'Sold' field in frmSales, I want the 'Sold' field in frmInventory to check/uncheck as well, but only in the record with an 'Item ID' that matches the 'Item ID' from the combo box selection. In other words, I want to match the 'Sold' field in frmInventory with the 'Sold' field in frmSales, but for only the record that has the same 'Item ID' primary key as the one I picked from my selection in the combo box from frmSales.
how to reference another table and check whether or not it's 'Item ID' primary key is identical to the one I specified from the combo box, and then take action to update the 'Sold' field if the IDs match.
I am having bit of confusion in trying to come up with a code that will assist in completing my database display (for a warehouse rental database).
My aim is to have a form display a layout of the site and overlay an image over a store if its occupied else leave the image off if otherwise.
I have everything in my table plus a checkbox field that states if vacancy is "yes' or "no"; say I have 60 stores to rent and they have specific names (unit = A09) and I already 'drew' the layout on a form (all 60 of them) with renaming the boxes for each unit (Name = A09).
How can I program a code that upon opening the form it will like
If 'Box Name on form' = 'unit name on table' AND 'Vacancy = No' then 'redbox.visible = yes'
I'm trying to make a field specific image on a tabular subform, so a different image appears on every row depending on the field information.

Dim imagepath As String
imagepath = GetImagePath & Me.Exercise & ".jpg"
If Len([Exercise]) > 0 And Len(Dir(imagepath)) > 0 Then

I am using a datasheet view with dbl click code to open a form to a selected record. I was able to use pbaldy's code and it worked perfectly.
DoCmd.OpenForm "Asset Status", , , "[Project Number] = '" & Me.Project_Number & " ' "
Then I realized I really want to be able to go to other records after I have gone to this form and tried this:
Dim rs As Object

'set variable to the current record
lngBookmark = Me.Project_Number
'open new form

I have a form "frm_PatientNew" based on table "tbl_patients", this form contains a button "cmd_NewVisit" which is supposed to do the following: opens the form "frm_NewVisit" for recording a new visit for the last recorded patient in "tbl_Patients", I found many approaches depending on DMax and Dlookup and they worked fine just if "frm_NewVisit" is bound to "tbl_Patients", but "frm_NewVisit" is bound to "tbl_Main" which acts as a container for all information (patient data, visit data,service done and service provider), so the form "frm_NewVisit" contains fields from different tables. I wonder if I should create "frm_NewVisit" as unbound form, then adding fields from different tables to it and using vba to populate "tbl_Main",
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a command button on a Access 2010 form that i am using as my switchboard. On this form i have a hidden unbound text box that captures the users environ"username". When the user hits a command button on the form the code looks at the name in the hidden textbox that captures the environ"username" and then DLooks up a table to see if there is a match. If yes then it will open the next form and if not then a message box appears.
Code:

This works fine apart from the fact it will only read the first name entered in the table. This table(TblAccessUsers) could have up to 50 names in it and possibly have names removed and re added at a later date. Is there a way i can get the code to look up every name in the table ??
My form used to work and as I kept adding event scripts now when I click on the ID text field, it doesn't open the linked record, but a blank record with 'Filtered' showing on the bottom navigation. I guess a question I have is,
-is there an order on which the procedure scripts run
-do they all run everytime, or just the specific event script

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am working on an MSACCESS database that reads data from SQL Server through ODBC Connection.
I have multiple tables that I have linked in and created Queries that read the data and created Make Table query.
However, I am asking if there's a way to bring the data through a query that doesn't need the linked tables. Is there a way to bring different fields from different tables into one query without needing to import all the tables, since the tables have many fields that I don't need.
For example in MS Excel, I am able to do that, a query that will bring external data from SQL Server from different tables and only brings the fields that I need for my report.
