I am working in Microsoft Access 2010 and wanted to move tables from a number of databases to a "Master List of Tables" without having to manually recreate them. The purpose is to have this "Master List" available when we are creating new databases covering similar topics.
I was hoping to use the import tool but it appears to address only data not tables.
I have a form displaying the 11 fields of the parent/primary table using a selection from a combo box. I am using queries and vba code modules respective to form, combo box and command buttons. I have initial code that uses the two fields from the combo box selection to append same to a new parent/primary archive table. I now want to add to the append SQL the remaining fields to the parent/primary archive table. When I add the second sql string for the remaining fields to the same procedure and execute I keep getting 'null in primary key'. If I copy the primary record and paste same into the archive table it works.
Private Sub Command26_Click() On Error GoTo Err_Archive_Primary_Click
Dim strSQL As String Dim strSQL2 As String
strSQL = "INSERT INTO ARC_289325045 ([Survey Point ID], [Survey Area Detail], [Date On Site]) " & _ "VALUES ('" & Me.cboAreaDetailDate.Column(0) & "','" & Me.cboAreaDetailDate.Column(1) & "'," & _ "#" & Me.cboAreaDetailDate.Column(2) & "#)"

The next step is to do the same for the child table and append related records to the child archive table.

I have a database that I've created for someone else to use. It's split into a front and back end. The user will be placing the front end on her desktop PC and the back end on a network server.
She also will be taking the database home to use from time to time. My problem is that when the database is split, upon opening, it looks for the back end on the network drive, which is unavailable when she's away from the office.
Is there a way to tell the Access to look in a directory relative to the one it's in?
I have created a few split multiuser databases in Access 97 that my company has used over the past few years. Currently, we are trying to move everything to a new network server. When I did a simple copy and paste on Friday moving everything to the other server it seemed to work fine. Until I tried to open any of the databases. I kept getting the message that they all were read only.
Do I need to bring the database back together before transferring it? I also plan on converting the databases to Access 2003. What precautions should I take in doing this?
Thanks for any and all information you can pass along.
Hi Everyone, I am attempting to move a password protected database to a different folder on our shared drive but I am not sure the steps that are needed to do so. The database is already split. Can someone please assist???
I am attempting to move a secure database location. How do you change the location of the security since it is still trying to read off the old location. The database opens up fine with the passwords. Then I deleted the old folder it was in and try to log back in and give me the security upon startup error. So my problem is how to I change the security upon startup. I see you can change the location of the unsecure through a wizard but how about the other way??? I think I am trying to change the Workgroup information file but how do i do that??
I have been tasked with creating a simple database for work.
Basically the table tracks the progress of various employment checks. So example headings are Name, CRB, Occupational Health etc. Now basically, once all the checks are completed, I need the record to be moved to another table named 'Live'.
Is there any easy way to achieve this, or will i have to manually move each record once the checks have been completed.
I am new to Microsoft access. I have a database moved from another computer. it is split into the backend and the front end..
However, when i click on the forms in the front end, I get an error message. It is trying to use a path from the old computer, to the database, but its on a different computer.
So, this brings me to my question, how do i change the path, to the new location
I'm using Access 2007 which I built a database that runs queries off of tables using ODBC. The database is all done in ms access, I've used no visual basic programing on it. I'm now trying to move a copy of the database to another computer's local drive in the office. When we try to open it on the other computer it gives me an error that says "There was a problem sending the command to the program" and Access hangs, which I then have to run task manager to end the program.
Specs Are: Windows 7 64bit (the db was created on Windows 7 32bit)
Currently I have an Access dB that was developed in A2003 but we are currently using A2010, it is accessed by multiple users that all have a frontend locally on there own networked PC's, with the backends etc on an old NT server, we are having problems with new technology accessing the NT server so it's well past time we got shut of it
We have a share on our network that has been made available to us to migrate all our NT server files to, Here's my problem, on testing the procedure I copied the database backend and .mdw file over to the share then tried to open the dB where upon i got the following error message
Cannot open microsoft Access database information file
On further investigation it seems that both the back end and the .mdw file have copied over with no content i.e filesize is 0kB, not only that the originals also seem to have had there content "deleted" a simple copy shouldn't have done this (I did have a backup btw)
So the database I have right now is split, with the back end on our server. Everything has been going great, however there are several second time delays when loading large forms, queries, etc. I've heard that moving the back end to an sql server is the way to go for speed.All forms and queries are on front end of database. Tables are located on the back end which is sitting on the server.
I am designing a database to keep track of a state's surplus fire property to be doled out to volunteer departments as I see fit.
I have a table for surplus property that includes what department currently has the surplus property, what type of equipment it is and additional equipment information. I also have a table for "pending transfer property" to track what pieces of property I have decided to potentially assign to a fire department from the state's surplus inventory.
My problem comes when I need to transfer a piece of equipment from one department to another. I would like the surplus property table to automatically remove the property from the surplus property table to the pending transfer table so that it will not be listed on a pending transfer and in the states surplus at the same time. On the flip side, if a transfer falls through I'd like that record to repopulate in the surplus inventory again.
Hi, My access database's tables are currently linked to an excel document. My question is, how do I move my database to the network? Currently when I move the the database to the network no one can open my tables because the link goes to my documents on my computer which they can't access on the network. So how do I move the database and maintain the link between the database and my tables?
Now what I am trying to get to happen is using a YES/NO box, Say i have a "part" in the parts table when i click the YES/NO box, to have the tick to say it has been sold, I want that line to move to the Sold Parts table. is this even possible?
I have a client that is using a split database. I am working on an update to the program and need to transfer a table to the backend that has the correct structure and information included in it. My thoughts are to make a one time use program that transfers the table to the backend. I have seen DoCmd.TransferDatabase and DoCmd.CopyObject as possible ways to go.
Moving to new computer, both under Win XP pro, Access 2003. New computer is MacBook Air running Parallels. Transferred Access database via an external hard drive. Now the data shows up as Read Only. Is there a procedure to run down the cause and make the data accessible?
I'm trying to set up a simple query that links four tables. However, the tables are extremely large, all in excess of 1.5GB each so I had to split the tables up into four separate DBs. I've tried the following with no success:
1) Link the 4 tables in the DB which contains my primary key. This quickly inflates increases the file size above 2GB and won't let me go any further.
2) Build a remote query to connect the four tables. This looked promising until I tried to run the query and it became evident that it only knows to point to the last database source that you specified.
I'm running everything locally on my C drive. The data source are simple text files (1.6 million rows) from the FDA website.
I am splitting a database and have created the Back end already. When I create the front end and link to the tables on the back end... The front end does not link to all the tables in the back end. The list that comes up when creating the linkings does not show all the tables in the back end. What would cause this?
I have broken up by master database, table, into several tables. They all share the same ID values since they came from the master table. So each table that I split off has a unique, matching, identifier, ID, in both the master table and the new table. Plus a previous matching identifier listed immediately below.
Example: Permit the master or main table and Builder a supporting table. There are five tables that I split off and all have an identifier similar to the two listed below.
Permit->ID Permit->BLD Builder->ID Builder->BLD
All my tables have the same ID. But each table also has a identification numbers such as builder BLD, Subdivision SB and inspector INS>
Permit has the BLD, SB and INS
Builder has only one occurrence for each builder in the Permit table. As in the past it was identified by BLD number and now also ID. the use of BLD is from when I used visual dBase. The big difference here is that I have two ways to identify one is ID any other is by BLD, etc. My first thought is to identified by the BLD. I don't know why, but I guess I fear using a single "ID" to identify my various split off tables unique value or BLD.
I am testing the security of my DB X on Acccess 2007. I could create a new database Y and linked to the database X. Unfortunately i could change the records on the tables. I don't want other DB that make connections to my DB to change my tables!
looking for a way to export the list of table names, table types & if they are linked (e.g. tbl Sales Linked .dbf or tbl Staff linked to excel) from a database - this has to be done for about 300 databases.
in an individual db, I have a make table query off of the table MSysObjects to get the data. The Database field tells me where the source of the linked table resides & the ForeignName field gives me an idea of the format of the data source (e.g. dbf or excel). I could manually import that query into each db, run it to get the table names, then copy & paste..
