Modules & VBA :: Return Results Of SQL Server Query To Access
May 28, 2014
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 a simple UDF that takes a string and returns a variant, which is an array of strings Example Input "Brick Wall" Return value would be a variant array with first element "Brick" and and second element "Wall" Now I have a table with a field of strings, and I want to make a query that returns all the results from the function, one per line.
So if my input table looks like this
[strField] "kick the ball" "return the pass"
my query result should looks like this
[Orig] [new] "kick the ball" "kick" "kick the ball" "the" "kick the ball" "ball" "return the pass" "return" "return the pass" "the" "return the pass" "pass"
Last time I had to do something like this I used VBA exclusively, with ADO objects, but I thought a query based solution would be easier.
With my current data the largest return array size my function returns is 27 elements but I wouldn't want to rely on that number being fixed.
Hi, I am not much familiar with VB Coding.Can any body please help me with this Please:When i click on submit button,it has to show the query results on the Form.Please find the below code:
Private Sub Command_Click() Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim strSql As String Set db = CurrentDb strSql = "SELECT Interface.[Interface ID], Interface.[Interface Name] from [Interface]" Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(strSql)
Do While Not rs.EOF Debug.Print ("Interface ID: " & rs![Interface ID] & "Interface Name: " & rs![Interface Name]) rs.MoveNext Loop rs.Close db.Close End Sub
####################### It is not retrieving any thing.IF my code is wrong,Please advice me with the necessary steps to view the results on the form,when we clicl on the submit button. Thanks, Kanuri
I have a query pulling data from several tables. In the middle I've got join between a part number in a BOM table and a part number in an inventory table.
What I want is the query to return the inventory location when we have stock. When we have nothing in, then there would be no entry in the inventory table and it should return a blank or null in this and all the proceeding tables.
I have a form that displays multiple records in datasheet view. I want to query off of that form and return all results for all records being displayed. However, I'm not sure how to tell Access to do this. Access instead wants to return records for only the first displayed record in the form or the record that is highlighted by the cursor.
In the attached image you can see a list of AccountingUnits (AU) going down. My query using AU from the form as criteria will only return records for AU 114510 since it is the first record, but I would like to see records for all AU's being displayed by the form. How can I do this?
I am trying to filter a form to show the entire weekend's activity on Monday but only yesterday's activity Tuesday through Friday. Using this code I can return Friday's results on Monday and yesterday's for the rest. How do I get the range Friday to Sunday?
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 a database which connects to another application (by creating an object) for the purposes of reading/writing data. Part of the code involves creating an instance of this application, and then taking input from the user via an Access form.However, when I load the form, the focus stays with the other application, and the user has to 'click into' the form in order to reset the focus to the form and key the relevant details. Not the end of the world, granted, but frustrating over time and something I'd like to iron out.
I originally had this process in Excel, and used the following code to change the focus back to Excel (so that the user could key directly into the form)
Code: Dim ExcCap As String ExcCap = Application.Caption
' ...assorted code, including creating the object to 'house' the other application...
' Return focus to Excel AppActivate ExcCap
But this doesn't apply to Access as it utilises the Application.Caption / AppActivate method to identify the appropriate window to switch back to. In Access, I don't have a caption to reference.I've tried setting the focus in the Form_Load event but it doesn't bring the form 'to the fore'
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.
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.
All items of software which have a type SA (Standard Application) must have an entry in ImageSoft under every Image Code.
When I add a new software title of type SA, it won't be included in ImageSoft for every Image Code and as I have a lot Image Codes I'd like to automate the addition of these new software items to the ImageSoft Table.
If I do a query with three fields: ImageSoft!ImageCode, Software!SoftwareCode and Software!Type, where Type was the criteria of "SA", the query returns the results of all the items that are already in ImageSoft and not those that aren't. Is there a way to return all those that are not in ImageSoft and not return those that are? I can the use these results to append them to the ImageSoft table and therefore ensure that all type SA software items are matched with each Image Code in ImageSoft.
and the order of Role (Z,A,C) is fixed it has to be in this order and if Role Z has more than one person, it will return only the name, id and contact number but will not repeat the role.
We have recently changed our SQL Server and I am now trying to point an access database to this new server using ODBC connections.
I have updated my ODBC settings and altered the name to the new object. It stills seems as though the database is pointing to the old tables though as receiving an error message:
"The microsoft jet database engine could not find object....."
Can anyone help me convert this pivot query to work in sql server please? I'll love you forever if you help me please :pTRANSFORM Count(Employees.MaritalStatus) AS MaritalStatusCount SELECT Employees.MaritalStatus FROM Employees INNER JOIN Offices ON Employees.OfficeId = Offices.officeId WHERE ((Not (Employees.MaritalStatus) Is Null)) GROUP BY Employees.MaritalStatus PIVOT Offices.officeLocation;
This is probably failry simple if you know what you're doing, but I don't know what I'm doing....
I have a form (Purchase Orders) and on that form there is a search button to allow the user to search the customers table by customer name. When the user clicks the search button a search form opens and the search results (customer number, first name, last name) populate a list box named "lstCustInfo". How can I set the list box double click event to return the customer number, first name and last name to the Purchase Orders form? To make it even more complex I would like to return the data in two fields: customer number and LastName, FirstName. The problem with returning the results in two fields though is that I need to be able to break it into three to save it in the customers table because the table has a place for Customer Number, First Name and Last name.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there a better way to do this than returning 2 fields and having to break it back into 3 to store?
I have 3 main tables: tblEmployees, tblJobs, and tblProcedures. (See attachment for relationship diagram and additional supplemental tables).A job can have multiple procedures and an employee can have multiple procedures too.
I need to write a query such that when searching by a specific job I can see all of the employees who are qualified for that job. This is done by seeing which employees have the procedures that belong to a job. But here's the catch: since a job can have multiple procedures, if an employee only has some of the procedures I don't want that particular employee to return as a search result. The employee must have ALL the procedures that belong to the selected job.
So for instance if I have:
tblJobs Job1 tblEmployees Emloyee1 Employee2
[code]...
If I search by Job1, I want only Employee2 to return as a result, NOT Employee1.I am at a lost for how to construct the SQL for something like that.
I need to find all EIDs where the Code is 611 where an Event# starting with F was Cancelled along with the time of the cancellation. For these results I also need the Arrived Time for the Event# starting with E for that EID.For instance, a result I'm looking for would be:
EID Event# (F) Cancelled Time Event# (E) Arrived Time
Trying to run a query where each 4 fields calling a custom function will not just re-run the same custom function over and over again for each field in a single record.
A Function has a huge amount of multiple queries and logic to perform.The Function returns a Integer, Integer, Integer, and optional Integer. Each integer requires a DLookup to lookup a String description value for each individual integer (in each of 4 fields).
The problem is, the DLookup in each column that runs against each of the integers re-run the same function.The result is that a single record, each of the 4 columns returning a single of the 4 values, the complex function is re-run 4 times.
The function is huge, part of a Business Rules Engine. Depending on the Rule-Meta data - it might launch up to a dozen queries and perform logic steps for each record. This is not the ordinary SQL Query.
Imagine if one record (for 1 field) takes 0.1 second to run. By referencing the function in 4 columns, this same function is re-run 4 times (0.4 Seconds) Against 50,000 records - this duplication of re-running the function for each column can really add up.
Possible Solutions: Researched Class Modules - There is a comment that the property Get, Let actually reduce performance. There are huge advantage of code documentation, documentation and centralization.It doesn't claim class modules reduce execution as each propery is returned. It also describes that Class Modules can't be called directly in a Query - unless each property is wrapped in a function.
Function Returns one String with delimiters: e.g 34;54;55;1 This single column goes into a Make Table (runs function one time per record) Then the D-Lookup is run against static local data. This pevented the function from being run over and over across the network linked data.
Final Solution: Eventually, the many hundred lines of VBA code for the Rules Engine will be converted into SQL Server T-SQL Functions on the server.For a Rule Engine development, Access has been great for a rapid protoype development and testing. The TSQL will be a final big step requiring re-coding. It is not currenty my option for the delivery time frame.
I wrote some code in Excel to open and run a module in Access. The code executes, but when I check the results I get no records, however if I just step back 1 line and rerun the query, I get records. Alternately, if I run the code twice it will get results the 2nd time.
The OpenCounter opens a Session in the terminal screen then performs a macro that writes to a temporary table.
Here is the code:
Dim db As ADODB.Connection, Rst As ADODB.Recordset Dim Acc As Access.Application Set db = New ADODB.Connection db.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=" & DBPath Set Rst = New ADODB.Recordset
[Code] ....
One thing I tried with limited success was to tell the OpenCounter to open and close the table after it was done writing to it, but that seems like a lazy solution and it also doesn't always work.
I want to return a value from a separate query and have that show up in a field on my main form. The field name from the query is "Six Month Date" and the query name is "DT6Monthqry". I want to return the value displayed in the"Six Month Date" from the query, matching the CustomerID in the query result to the CustomerID that is being displayed on the main form. The CustomerID is a text field.This is the code I placed in the Control Source property for the field I want to be displayed on the main form:
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
I have a query which returns a list of reports I have created this session.
I want a button that when I click it runs the query and then stores the results into a variable.
I looked online and found a pretty good connection code and loop code to get the data but I'm having a hard time getting it to store into a variable.
What I want to do next is using code print the reports that were listed in the query.
That Means I need to be able to take that variable and pop the information off it, storing it into another variable (or if i can use an array just use that) and use that to concatenate into a command to print that report.
I am having problems with the syntax of this though. I think I'm just missing some key elements.
I was beginning to think I had got the hang of creating queries on the fly in VBA. After several hours I have just learned that docmd.runSQL does not work for simple SELECT statements. I'm not going to worry about why that would be. I'm sure there's a jolly good reason.
So... I am able to dynamically create the SQL string for the SELECT statement that I need.
How do I run it? It just needs to return results as a datasheet so I can see them. I'm running Access 2013. I've been searching on this subject for quite a while and found many references to DAO, ADO, ADODAOD, YODELAEYYOUDELAYIO! and other things I don't yet understand ...
It works great, except that it is also copying the column headings. Is there any way to copy only the results without the headings?
I'm copying this data to the clipboard because I want to be able to paste it in a program called DataLoad which will load this data into one of our company's legacy systems.
