Modules & VBA :: Access 64 Bit Linking Tables
Jul 10, 2013
I have a code for linking tables. It works on Access 32 bit.I modify the code for 64 bit (include PtrSafe after all Declares, etc...)But it doesn't work.When I try to chose database in dialog window, my program closed.
Code:
Public Function GetDbPath(path_name As String) As Integer
Dim i As Long
i = MsgBox("The path to database is incorrect" _
& Chr(13) & "Chose new path?", vbOKCancel + vbExclamation)
If i <> vbOK Then
DoCmd.Quit
Exit Function
[code]...

I'm looking for some sample VBA code that dynamically creates a link to Visual FoxPro 9 table. Our group has a number of end user FoxPro applications, and as FoxPro is reaching the end of its life in January 2015, we need to replace it.
A lot of the processing we do uses tables with a date embedded in the name, e.g. MyData_20131211.dbf. We'd like to be able to let our users to use Access queries that point to these tables without having to manually create the ODBC link each day. Is there a way to set up a link once, then use VBA code to dynamically change the table it points to?
For example, we set up an ODBC link table to MyData_20131211.dbf, and rename the link table in Access to MyData_Today. Then tomorrow, the VBA code would change the link to point to MyData_20131212.dbf.
An alternative would be to dynamically recreate the link each day.
As the tables are large, we don't want to import them into Access if we don't have to.

I was wondering if it was possible to link random external tables to the Active Database through VBA. I would like to run the code that would open up a dialog box that would let the user select the database as well as the tables within that database that the user can select to link to. I am able to select the database and but not able to select the actual tables. The tables will be random so I can't make a constant statement for a specific database.

My situation is as follow
I have an Access datebase, where main tables are built and saved.
Also, I have 2 Access modules, which access informations in main tables in an Access datebase (I used Linking to table) and process information in query.
Questions: Linking to tables in another datebases will make perfomance of the module worse ? If the answer is Yes, then in which scale ?

Hi,
I have two databases in Access.
One of the database acts as backend i.e it has only tables including some Linked Tables(which are linked to some third database)
Other database is an executable in which all the tables are linked to the bakend database.
I am not able to link to the linked tables in the backed database. Is there a way of doing that?

I have a form in a DB and I would like to make it work so that when a user user chooses a job department (choice of 10). When they choose the department I want the next field on the form to only show the job classifacations(5 in each department so 50 if all show) in that department. Right now all I can do in make it so they need to choose from many job classifacations (50 of them as explained above where 45 have nothing to do with the department first choosen) and most of them don't relate to that department at all. Is it possible to do? I have limited macro knowledge and no code ability.
Thanks

hi to all,
I have a software which links itself to a fox pro database/tables. Now i want to link some of these free tables or database from fox pro to access. Whenever there is a slight change in the fox pro tables/databases they must reflect directly into access database. Is this possible and how?
thanks,
ashley

Hi there,
was wondering if there is way to link tables in Microsoft Access, if the primary key is not matching 100%, for example lets assume that we have two table, with fruit type as their content.
Table1
FruitType
ORANGE
APPLE
PEAR
Table 2
FruitType
ORAN
PPLE
EAR
as you can see the content in the second table is somewhat incomplete or corrupted "Orange" is missing an "E", "Apple" is missing an "A", and "Pear" is missing a "P".
Thanking in advance

I have a form which on selecting a command button sends out an email to a manager to say a specification is ready to be reviewed (this contains a link to a sharepoint site where the spec resides). The "approval" details are stored in by DB also so I would like to have included in that email a link back to the access db and the particular record so the person receiving the email can easily approve, if that makes sense.
Here is my code for generating the email (at the point "To approve please click here" is where I would like my link to go):
[i][i] Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)
strbody = "<font size=""3"" face=""Calibri"">" & _
[Code].....

I have two forms both with separate tables
(1) Register and
(2) Payments.
One of the common denominators between them is the URN which is auto-populated as it is an auto number field. My issue is that when I want to add a new record to the payments table using the forms (I can get to the payments form via the register form), I want to be able to identify the record that I am currently viewing within the register and auto populate the URN field with the same number. This is what I have done so far,
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Sub AttachPaymentDetails()
Call PerformInsert("tblFinancialBudget", "frmFinancialBudget")
End Sub
[code]....

I have 2 identical database in terms of structure but it differs in data.
Basically I would like to import data from subDatabase to mainDatabase and ensuring that there are no duplicate records.
I have used the "link to datasource method" through importing the tables to have the "updating" function.
However, this method also means that the records in mainDatabase are also imported over to subDatabase which I do not want.
Is there a method to ensure that the records are shared/update one way only? (i.e. import from subDatabase to mainDatabase and not main to sub?)

Currently trying to build a database for customer management and order placement/tracking. Want to set a couple of rules so that if I for instance click yes of billing and shipping address the same that the database will automatically fill the shipping address with the data I inputted for the billing address in the same table.
The other issue I can see I'll run into is, I want to be able to select one of the company ID's (made up of a three letter abbreviation of the full company name) in the product ordering table and it will automatically fill in the rest of the customer data (phone, email, address etc) data into that form.

I am doing a project where we are collecting home owner data and information on all the dogs in the household. The data for homeowner has an autonumber primary key because no field is unique or has been consistently collected. I am struggling to link the data for the dogs to the owners because an autonumber primary key will not work since not all homes have dogs. I need to have this set up so that people who are not tech savvy can look up each homeowner (or dog) and get the dog (or home owner) information. And to make things even more fun we need up to 15 potential dogs per household each of whom will have 18 different pieces of data collected.
It looks a little like this (and you can see my not matching ID issue):
Homeowner table
ID First Name Last Name...........Total Dogs
1 Max Maximus 5
2 Min Minimus 0
3 Mus Musculus 1
Dogs 1-5 table
ID Date Dog 1 Name Dog 2 Name .......Dog 5 Name
1 (Max's) 4/11/14 Bobby Billy Betty
2 (Mus's) 4/11/14 Jojo
Min will have no dog records at all, just home information.how to link the dog's to the homeowners .

I have been asked to design a database to replace our old excel sheet to log one of our customers server builds. It a four noded system and i require a seperate log for each node serial models of parts etc, qa checks.
I intitial started by just using one table but forgot the limit was 255 rows, i need about 600 - 700. So my plan is now to transfer to indivial table for each node. Then, a general table named Main for all my other details.
Although this seems simple, i now have the annoying task of being able to link them all together and produce a single PDF file to send to our customer whilst only entering our system serial number once to produce this.
My basic understanding will be to create a System Serial Number field in each table a link it via relationships, but if i produce a report with everything i need would it input my details for all four nodes? If so how would i set this up?
I will be splitting the database once completed and then making a ACCDE file for my techs to use.

I recently imported an excel file into access. Let's say it contained data for both domestic and international customers. With different things needed from each type of customer, once in Access, it became needed and easier to create separate tables- one for international and one for domestic. However, each customer needs their own unique id - and I need a way to link or relate the tables in a manner that it will not allow duplicate customer numbers between the two tables.

I have two tables called Hardware and Desk. They both have two fields called ChangeID and Priority.
What I would like to do is set it so that if we change the Priority in a record existing/created in 'Hardware', the Priority of the related record in 'Desk', also changes.
How can I achieve this?

Question for someone..... I was looking at the "LinkTables" in Access..... I see that I can link one database to another..... When I do this I can add the table to my relationship window... I have not played with this too much.. But looks interesting. Now, all the info I might add to this linked table is stored in the other database??? If this linked table is also linked to other tables in the other DB can I use those in queries? Not much covered (that I can find) in the Access help files on this sort of thing.
Thanks

I have a table with job info like: job #, job name, job addy.
I would like my end query to look like this: job #, job name, job notes.
I want the query to list all jobs, job names, and job notes for a particular week(we have a weekly meeting on the status of our jobs), so if I were to query the jobs for 6/26, i would get: job #, job name, and job notes for that date as fields in my query.
I am not sure how to accomplish this. Should I make a seperate table that contains job notes? If so, how would I accomplish this and create a relationship between the job info table and the job notes table?
Thanks in advance!

Excuse me for sounding extremely dumb, but I have a question that is really bugging me. I have created a database using two tables. The two tables are called User and Assets. In both tables I have set the primary key to be the field Username. I have also linked these two fields.
I have created a form that is my interface for the database and can add and delete from the table (User). I now want to insert a sub form into my form, that displays the contents of my second table (Assets) and reference's the field Username. Hopefully this will enable me to display my table (User) in the Form, whilst only displaying the relevent data in the subform (Assets) for the particular user.
I'm sorry if this sounds confusing, but I would really appreciate your help ...

Dear all,
I have a question which I think is probably very straight foward for those who know about these things. I have just created a new database, but there are obviously some problems with the design, because when I enter information into a form, I don't seem to be able to access the information through queries or reports.
I have 11 tables, and one single form (I created the tables, and then used the wizard to create the form). The main table is called 'Client Information,' and the key in that table is the CaseNumber. They key in every other table is called something along the lines of 'ClientDetailID,' 'IncidentDetailID,' etc. When I look at the relationships between the tables, the 'ID' field in each table is linked to the 'CaseNumber' field in the Client Information table. However, I don't have any fields actually duplicated between the tables. Do I need to do this? (ie, should I have the 'CaseNumber' field appear in each table, and then the 'ID' field from every other table appear in the 'ClientInformation' table?)
thanks so much, this is probably a really simple problem but I don't think I really understand the whole relationships and linking tables thing.

Hi,
I have tables in MS Access and the same tables in SQL Server.
I want to link the appropriate tables up so that when i update the table in MS Access, it will automatically update the table in SQL Server. I want to do this using an ODBC link.
Anyone with any suggestions of how to go about this?
Thanks

Greetings,
I was wondering if you could advice.
I have 5 or 6 questionnaires and each of these is linked together by a person Identifier number. How can I do it so that all the questionnaires recognise that these tables are all linked by the same number.
Secondly, if I wanted to say, do a search on a particular number, is there a way to do that if i say, searched for that number in a query, i'd get all 5 questionnaires come up rather than have to do a search for each table (ie. one search brings all the results from all the tables up or at least a link to them
What would be great is if you could do it so that you could do a search on say, all who were a nationality and it brings you up all the results for all the different questionnaires.
Please advise,
thank you
