Modules & VBA :: Update Access Table From SQL Server Table Source
Jun 17, 2013
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 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.
I have an MS Access accdb with linked SQL Server 2012 ODBC tables. I am working on a procedure to copy data from local tables to these linked tables (identical schema). I did a simple
Code:
DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO linkedTable SELECT * FROM localTable"
This works, but is very slow. Way too slow. (INSERT copies the data one record at a time).
I would like to copy the data in a bulk operation, or operations that I can execute programmatically.
I am rebuilding an application for a client and I have an Access table that I am using as a temporary table. Once the user is done entering information into the temporary table through a form, the user presses an update button that appends the records using an Append Query in Access to an SQL Server Table.
The following error message occurs:
"ODBC -- insert on a linked table 'linked tblname' failed.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] Explicit value must be specified for identity column in table 'linked tblname' when IDENTITY INSERT is set to ON. (#545)
I am using a form, subform combination to record a bill with many details. The bill summary is posted into a tbl_TransactionsMain table in SQL Server using the ADO AddNew method. The PK for the tbl_TransactionsMain is then entered into the temporary table in Access. When the temporary table records are appended into tbl_TransactionDetail the error message occurs.
What is also interesting is while typing out this post I thought to test the error by manually trying to run the query. The query worked like a charm! :confused: When the orginal error occurred off of the form I tried to run the query manually and it failed. I am guessing that this might have something to do with the ODBC timeout.
I think SQL Server/ODBC connection is not liking how I have a set of records in an Access table with foreign key numbers assigned when I am attempting to append the records. I am new to SQL Server and any ideas are most appreciated! :)
If you want to use a "DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO" command to insert data in a table and the data to insert comes from a table and a form, could this be done in one pass?
So...writing a record wit 4 values from table1 together with a additional value from a textbox in table2 as 5 values.
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.
Front end Access 2010, back-end SQL-server 2008 R2.
Normally I retrieve a certain value by Dlookup("myvalue", "mytable",...)
or
strSQL = "SELECT myvalue FROM mytable...;"
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strSQL, 4)
But is there any faster way to retrieve a single value from an SQL-server table, beside doing doing the select by a stored procedure running through a pass through query, then open a recordset
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("mypassthroughquery")
just to retrieve ONE value?
I could not find something like DLookup("...) for an SQL-Server or in T-SQL.
I'm new to Access and VB but I managed to write parts of what I want access to do.By tweaking a code I found on the internet, I managed to write a small Subroutine that allows the user to click on one of the fields of a record in a report and then Access opens the form on that specific record.*My code goes something like this:*
Code:
Private Sub Edit_Click() * Dim strWhere As String * Dim DocName As String * DocName = "FormName" * strWhere = "[Field Name]='" & Field & "'" * DoCmd.OpenForm DocName, acNormal, , strWhere End Sub
Now I want to get the name of the Table where the record exists.So, let's say when I click on the "Field" it gets the name of the table where the record with that field exists and sets it in a variable.OR even better would be, get the name of the Form where that record exists but I guess that's a little more complicated since the record is directly linked to the table...*
I would like to duplicate table from SQL Server 2000 to Access using VBA. How to programmatically establish a connection to SQL Server using VBA codes?
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.
Good evening, my web site (in hosting) stores data in a SQL Server database. Now, I've and import these data in an Access application and, of course, I've no direct access to SQL Server instance. I thought about using Web Services. Does anybody know how to do, or has an alternate way?
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?
How to update data from one table to another table using form.
I have data coming from design team in Database 1 and using form i want search data and assign the job to a person and store it in the database with his name. I have to do this because database from design team is read only.
I have created a table for installer invoicing, and have a field for invoice amount. I have created a user input form that allows a user to fill in certain pay rates for different aspects of installation, and would like to know how to make the invoice amount a calculated control that will auto update the field InvoiceAmt in my table. I can't figure out how to do this in the property sheet.
Table Compression is currently used to enter the load applied to the sample followed by a query that calculates the 'compression strength' using the entered load and the surface of the sample.
What i would like to do is to import both the 'load' and 'compression strenght' from the machine.So i have managed to do an export on the machine (to Excel) and then made an import function which imports the content of the Excel file and puts it in a table called Compression_Import.
Is there a way of doing this using VBA? Or am i doing something wrong in the SQL statement?I have been trying to get this to work for a couple of hours, but after checking the internet for the last hour or so i can not get it to work at all..
I have a fairly simple append query that appends two columns of data to another table - all good. Except, the destination table has a field 'ServiceDate' that I would also like to be completed at the same time with today's date. I presume that this is =Date(), but where do I put it to make this happen?
When I have a 3rd table looking at the row source of the 2nd table, which is looking at the row source of the 1st table. I only get numbers.
Everything I have read so far points to using a query as a solution. However, the query I made is not updating the information from the 2nd table.
I have attached a few examples.

this below shows. I changed "Bakersfield-test1" in the original table. However, the query I made does not update, still showing "Bakersfield-test". When you click on the drop down, it shows the updated "Bakersfield-test1", but it does not repopulate my column with the updated info from the table.
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 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.
