Modules & VBA :: Update Default Value In Linked Table
Jun 14, 2015
I have a split database ,and I need to update the Table default value of a field.Rather than go into the table I would prefer to use a form.I found this code but it wont work,I presume becouse my data base is split
Private Sub UpdateInvoiceReportNumber_Click()
If Not IsNull(Me.txtDefValue) Then
CurrentDb.TableDefs("PaymentsT").Fields("SelectInv oice").DefaultValue = Me.txtDefValue
MsgBox "Default Value has been changed to " & Me.txtDefValue
I have one DB that is used for creating/storing customer ID's, and another DB that is used for creating/storing job information for customers.I have linked the table from the customer DB to the job DB.
There is a table in the job database that holds customer name and ID, and some VBA that generates unique job codes.
Is it possible to have the data from the linked table automatically update into the existing table?
I have a form that contains the following: Combobox, (Lists BadgeNum from tblPersonnel)
2 Textboxes (LastName, FirstName) populated via code from the combobox using info from the same tblPersonnel. 2 labels (one containing Date, another containing Time) ToggleOnButton (Valueof 1) ToggleOffButton (Value of 0) Savebutton
This form is basically used as a cheap police timeclock. All Im trying to do is when a user chooses their name from the combobox, clicks ON or OFF and then save, is just write the much of the same info to a table. Specifically, BadgeNum, DateIn, TimeIn, DateOut, TimeOut.
If a front-end database has links to many tables in a back-end database and the back-end is moved, is there an easy way to update all the table links in the front-end in one go, or do you have to set up all the links again one at a time?
Hoping there's a quick way...

edit: just realised the previous post asks exactly the same thing ( :o ), but that hasn't elicited a solution yet ( :( ).
I have done everything I can think of to remedy this, but I can't figure out why this is happening. I have a linked table from excel that contains 5 fields for each record. I have a table in access with matching records and 20-30 fields. The linked spreadsheet is used when adding records. I have a query that queries both tables to get all data from both and a form based on that query where others can pertinent data for the records resulting from the query. My problem is that when I open the form the new records that were added in the linked file are there but all the fields from the access table cannot be updated. I have looked every place I know to look for record locks, read only options, everything I can think of why i cannot update these records and I am coming up empty. I checked my join properties and selected the only one that actually displays the linked records when the query is run (not sure the name of the join but it's #2 of 3 join properties options (in Access 2002). maybe I am just overlooking something simple? Do you have any ideas what I can do here?
I have a linked table tblHome which is stored in a Sql Server DB and I want to create a form with 3 fields in it i.e. fieldA, fieldB, and FieldC in it and a button.
I want to add values to fields fieldA and fieldB and fieldC and when I click the button I want the value in fieldA to update any records in the linked table tblHome which contains the values in fields fieldB and FieldC.
I'm trying to change the table links to a password protected BE DB. I found an example online, which I adapted to my needs. When I set it up to fail to find the normal BE it seems to work as intended until it gets to the line "Tdf.RefreshLink". Then it crashes with a 3031 "Not a valid password" error. The code is:
Code: Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) Dim Dbs As Database Dim Tdf As TableDef Dim Tdfs As TableDefs Dim NewPathname As String
[Code] ....
I can't find any references or example to relinking a password protected table.
I want to copy three of my tables from the back end to another database (backup) at regular intervals. When using docmd.CopyObject and docmd.TransferDatabase it is the link that get copied (naturally) and not the table itself.
I am trying to build a Form that will show an estimate (then eventually will be moved to a project if customer and employee aggree to price and project) in a Form F_Estimates is a M_Customers(Customer_ID) (Based on a Table) and thier info in a Subform. Also is the "projected costs" from parts out of the Parts(Part_ID) (Based on another Table) in a second Subform as a list that I need to calculate $$$ in (Dang that still sounds evil and definately NOT understandable even after edit... so)
Here's some basic info
Tables
EstimatesandParts - Table EstimatesandParts_ID : Autonumber Estimate_ID : Number Part_ID : Number
Parts - Table Part_ID : Autonumber PartNumber : Text (not a number due to some part#s have letters in them) PartName : Text Unit Price : Currency Description : Text
Estimates - Table Estimate_ID : Autonumber InvoiceNumber : Text (again can have letters in it) EstimateDate : Date/Time EstimateTime : Date/Time Employee_ID : Number Customer_ID : Number ProblemDescription : Memo
Customers - Table Customer_ID : Autonumber FirstName : Text LastName : Text CompanyName : Text Address : Text City : Text Province_State : Text Postal_ZIPCode : Text (CDN Postal codes are letter num letter...)
you can see the link table in the EstimatesandParts Table
Now I want to use that link to populate a subform in the F_Estimates form
Forms
SF_Customers - SubForm
(all boxes atm are text boxes on this form till I figure out the Parts section then will use same base for this so I can pick any customer in the database to be the customer for this estimate. Also will have ctrl button for making new customer with customer form and a refresh on Focus Gain bit of code)
FirstName LastName CompanyName Address City Province_State Postal_ZIPCode
SF_Parts - SubForm Default View -Continuous Forms
(want it to be a list of parts that I can grab prices and descriptions from then in a bit of code to calculate a cost of parts)
Part_ID : Combo Box Control Source - Part_ID Row Source Type - Table/Query Row Source - SELECT Parts.Part_ID, Parts.PartNumber, Parts.PartName, Parts.UnitPrice, Parts.Description FROM Parts ORDER BY Parts.Description;
(Pulls info from the table Parts for input into a list of parts to be used on that project)
PartName : Text Box UnitPrice : Text Box
(here's where I run into problems due to the fact that the form is not based on the parts table but rather the link table EstimatesandParts so I can't propogate the info to the 2 other text boxes, ps I dont care if they cant be text boxes and have to be linked or some other type I'm not "set" just need to find out how to make it work )
(have tried a couple things to complete this task)
(works AWSOME ... for ONE ROW then propogates the second selection to the first and second and third selection to first second and third and so on ...)
(tried to make control source for the txtPartName to)
=Forms!Parts!Partname
(Doesnt exist .. akkk, cant use ActiveForm either as it doesn't focus on the SubForm but the MainForm ... cry)
(Combo Boxes Select Customer and Employee from list of present ones of each)
SF_Customers SF_Parts
(Both SubForms on the main form)
Now this is an Exerp from my entire Database I like to work on one small problem at a time and I have made this its own little database till I figure out the problem then I will bring the info I learn back into the rest of the database and go from there ...
Hope you can help I have a feeling I will need to make a recordset and go from there but I'm just not able to wrap my head around that for some reason
Thanks in advance for ANY and ALL help that I get from here
I am writing code to Refresh table links. I only want to refresh the Access table links and ignore the Excel Table links. Is there a way to determine in VBA if the table link is pointing to an Excel file?
I am after a script to change the linked table paths like the following.
It will only ever be the path that is changing not the file name and only ever linked tables
Code: for each table in tabledefs if table.path = c:Testing* then table.path = w:Testingfilename if table.path = c:Jobs* then table.path = w:Jobsfilename if table.path = c:Quotes* then table.path = w:QuotesNewfilename next table
I recall reading somewhere (fairly recently) about a parameter or property in Access which is "On" by default and allows a form/query to identify when backend table field names or query arguments are changed and automatically looks for and "fixes" the renamed link. By leaving this switched ON, the database is slower than it could be. The db speed performance can be can be improved significantly by switching this 'feature' off. (i.e. Name of the property)
I have a form with a combo boxes and a table with relevant list and additional field, fldDefaultDrive (Yes/No Field).
Currently in order to set the default value, I have used the following code for each default;
Private Sub Form_Load() Forms!frmMediaLabeller!CboDriveName.DefaultValue = """D"""
End Sub
However, I want users to be able to go into the table and change the default value if thier CD player default Drive is anything but D: Drive. I have tried to replace the D above with an SQL statement but with no success.
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim Drivename As String
Drivename = SELECT tblMediaDrive.fldDrivename FROM tblMediaDrive WHERE (((tblMediaDrive.fldDefaultDrive)=-1));
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
MS Access 2013: I have two database tables as below:
tbl1_MainDB --- It has a field named as "City" where I get huge data for some city names. Sometimes This field may have some unknown/new names which are not listed in our 2nd table ("tbl2_RefrDB")
tbl2_RefrDB --- It's a reference table which has raw names for cities, and then standard names of their city and state in another fields.
Target --- I want to create a VBA prorgram (Sql query) which can look from tbl1_MainDB.[City] to tbl2_RefrDB.[Raw_City] field, and if found then pick the "Standard_State" and "Standard_City" record values from there, and update into the 1st table "tbl1_MainDB".
...if not found in "tbl2_RefrDB" table, then user can be informed & ask for updating the new/unmatched city record as a new record in this table.
I'm trying to use VBA to update a new column in a table with info I already have in another table.The table I want to update is an inventory details table, it has around 25,000 records. I added a column called "UnitCost", of course the column is empty for all 25,000 records so I would like to fill it easily using DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE" feature.
I use that through-out the program however I'm unable to connect the dots for this one.What it needs to do is update "UnitCost" in "InventoryDetails" from "Products" where "InventoryDetails.ProductNumber" = "Products.ProductNumber"
The "Products" table has all the different unit cost, it just need to be placed in the "InventoryDetails" table for every record. Of course product1 needs products1 unit cost and product2 needs products2 unit cost, etc.
I have a table that has banking information in it (downloaded from the internet). I have a category field (lookup field) that I have to update manually so, for example, every time the electric bill is paid I have to click it and change the category to "electricity".
I want to set up a table with phrases for access to search for and a category to change to. For example if the banking table has "VIS ELECTRICITY 20812/773474868" and my search criteria table says anything with the word "electricity" should have category of "electricity", then I want Access to update the banking table based on that.
There will be several items in the search criteria table so Access will have to read through all of them to find the correct one. Is this possible?
We receive hundreds of items at the time capturing the item barcode and the userID. I want to improve the process capturing the UserID once and updated the table with this entry on all empty records on the table. I have created the following script but I doesn't work.
Private Sub Command7_Click() Dim strSQL As String Dim strUser As String
strUser = InputBox("Scan your badge") strSQL = "UPDATE " & tblGER_ReceivingLog & " SET " & tblGER_ReceivingLog & _ "." & UserID & "='" & strUser & "' WHERE ([" & tblGER_ReceivingLog & "]. & UserID & is null);" DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL End Sub
My database generates forms with a unique number displayed as a barcode. The paper forms are completed by employees and then scanned into a folder on the network in .TIFF format. I have seen other databases that can somehow pick up files like this and update the forms status in the database (i.e., Completed), assign a completion date and create a link to the file (a PDF actually).
I would really like my database to be able to do this but dont even know where to start. How do I get the file names for the .TIFF files to match the barcodes during the scanning process? How do I get Access to check a Completed field for each document in the folder? How do I get Access to put a link to the file in a field in the table?
I have inherited an old database with a new field to add some new invoice numbers and increment the number to each recordset by + 1. Starting at 001. I have formatted the field to a Number Field and formatted it to 000"/2015". I now need to populate over 2000 records with the sequential numbers for each record.
I have created the following code as my attempt. Of course it doesn't work!
Code: Sub AddNumbertoRecords() Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rst As DAO.Recordset Dim counter As Long counter = 1 Set db = CurrentDb()
So I have this code in an afterupdate event in an unbound text box to update the value of a table if the textbox is updated:
Code:
Private Sub txtCustRepID_AfterUpdate() 'Go to Calls table and find original value for CustRepID 'Fin the Call ID first Dim CallIDVar As Long Dim ContactIDVar As Long Dim CustRepIDOr As String CallIDVar = Forms![Contacts]![Call Listing Subform].Form![CallID]
[code]...
This code works well when entering numbers in the text box but it returns error 3061; "Too few parameters. Expected 1" when along with the numbers there is a letter in the textbox.The error happens in this part of the code:
Code: 'Accept change and add new value to table CurrentDb.Execute _ "UPDATE Calls " & _ "SET CustRepID = " & CustRepIDNew & " " & _ "WHERE CallID = " & CallIDVar, dbFailOnError
The underlying table has text as type of data for this field.
I have an access database that is used to store records of requests for for items. Example, ID, WhoRequested, CustomerName, Date, address, phone, WhatRequested, amt. I take this data and export it to an excel spreadsheet and send to another area for processing.
I then get the sheet back with the orderdate, ordernumber, and shippingnumber. I need to update the original table with this new information. it is not bad when there is only a few, but Ihave had 100 or so lately, and updating each record manually is time consuming.
I am building an access database to manage a data conversion from multiple legacy systems (62) to a new non access database, and plan on making my Conversion Database reusable and functionally simpler.All data is imported to one common Table structure, with the source system identified against each record.In my legacy systems values are not coded the same ie
Title: Mr Miss Ms Mrs Record Type: Active, Inactive System A: 1, 2, 3, 4 a , i System B: a, b, c, d 1 , 2 System C: x, y, z, w ACT, ,INA
This applies to sooo many fields.I want to avoid having a mapping table for each field as I will quickly have an unmanageable number of mapping tables, and complex relationships in Queries..I would like to get to the point where I could have a single value mapping table something as follows
System, Field, Old Value, New Value System A, title, 1 Mr System A, title, 2 Miss System A, title, 3 Ms System A, title, 4 Mrs System B, title, a Mr System B, title, b Miss System B, title, c Ms System B, title, d Mrs
And some how call this in VB to go through all fields and records in a table if Old Value is found for a specific "System" and "Field" Change to new value, if noting found on Mapping table keep existing data.
I have an access db with a linked table (to Sharepoint) which contains about 15000 records. I have to copy those records to the local access db. To do this I have a bit of VBAcode. It works, but for each next record that is copied it takes a bit longer. When starting the program the records are copied quite fast, but soon you see it slowing down until after a couple of thousand records it just goes too slow to be usefull, meaning it would take a lot of days to copy all records.
What I now do is let it copy 500 records and exit ms-access completely and then start it again and let it copy the next 500 records. This works but is tedious as I have to do it about 35 times. Why this gradual slowdown occurs?
The VBA code is pretty straightforward.(I use VBA because I do a bit of data wrangling while reading in the values of the records)
Code:
Dim importdb1 As DAO.Database Dim rsimportdb1 As DAO.Recordset Dim i As Double Set importdb1 = CurrentDb Set rsimportdb1 = importdb1.OpenRecordset("2015") Set rsMain = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("tbl_import")
