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.
Hi,
I need help with an access 2000 multiple queries problem.
I have the following:
Table 1 = info below / table 2 = computer types / table 3 = offices 1 through 10
field 1 = name (20 employees)
field 2 = computer (5 different type of computers)
field 3 = office (10 different offices)
field 4 = issued
field 5 = not issued
field 6 = stolen
On a form I have the 2 combo boxes (computer and office) to select and check boxes to select issued or not issued or stolen.
I need a report printed based on the multiple criteria query only showing the results that I ask for.
For e.g. in office 5, computer IBM, issued.
Print Report: lists names of all in office 5, with IBM’s, issued only!
etc.
Please help.
Can a Append Query move all my data stored in multiple tables to another database with a identical table structure?
Because as I try to work the query, I keep getting prompted to "Select a table" I want to append to, and I don't want to append to just one table...
I have over 800 films which I've converted from DVD to iTunes format. I have added them to iTunes and extracted the data to Excel. From Excel, I have imported the data into MS Access.
So, now I have a movie database of my films. See attached fields for all tables and the Relationships.
As you can see, I have created a separate Genre table as this will be my main search parameters.
I can run a simple query which returns the search results for example 'Comedy'. My problem is, I am wanting to do a search for films with for example 'Comedy' and 'Drama'. Whichever way I try this, I don't get the right answer. I either seem to get duplicate records or no results returned.
I attach the query I am running which works for 1 Genre only!
I am not sure whether I have some fundamental problems with it and it's better to start from scratch?! I have the raw data from Excel which I could use to start again.
I am currently working on a project to develop an access database to manage a roster of calls to clients on a daily basis based on two general criteria:
1. Pre-determined days selected by the client. (e.g. Call Mon, Wed, Fri only. This can change as client requirements change.)
2. Ad-hoc changes based on the client’s circumstances. (e.g. No call from 27/7/2015 to 29/7/ 2015)
I have managed to successfully deal with the second of these with the following expression in a query:
CallToday?: IIf((Date()>=[NoCallFrom] And Date()<=[NoCallTo]),"No","Yes")
However dealing with the first is a little more difficult to work out. I have tried a multivalue lookup field with multiple days selectable, but constructing an IIF query to deal with these multiple values is proving quite a challenge.
I am thinking of using a table with days of the week and a junction table to allow the multi-selection, but I may need constructing the relationships and the query here.
I have a question where I need to effectively invert the results of a select query.
I have multiple tables in the database, but the 2 I'm looking at are TBL.Trip and TBL.TripDiary
A trip is logged in the trip table, and then an operator logs a diary entry against the trip. One of the options that the operator selects is when they receive an email back from the traveller, this is logged as a diary entry.
I need the query to look at the DIARY_Action field and select all records in the TBL.Trip that DO NOT CONTAIN an entry for Diary Action "4".
I can produce a select query that gives me the results to see all trips that HAVE had a response, with a simple IS LIKE "4" query in the action field.
If I change this to IS NOT LIKE "4", I get the results that I need, but duplication due to the various other "diary" entries in the table".
I simply need the inverse of the IS LIKE query but cannot see how to remove the duplicates?
I have 10 tables, 30+ fields on each table (every table has the same 'account number' field). I only need from 5 - 20 fields from each table. How do I get the certain fields from each table and put them in a table, query or report?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a simple Search form in Access where a user can select a desired record and query multiple tables using the inputs.
I would like them to be able to query Retailers, Distributors and Products.
The 6 tables are linked as follows:
Although some of these tables are not included in the query, they are required to ensure relationships.
Retailers -- Uses (RetailerID,DistributorID) -- Distributors
Retailers -- Orders (RetailerID,ProductID) -- Products
All retailers have at least one distributor BUT a retailer may or may not have ordered any products.
I have created my form but the query linked to the form is having some trouble. It is only selecting those records that have ordered products. For example, if I query a retailer name only and it does not have any ordered products, it will not display. Is there a problem with the table joins? The SQL for the query is displayed here:

Hi everyone,
I'm creating databases that houses information of the different software versions my company offers. This way they can easily keep track of updates, obsolete info, etc.. I'm trying to decide what way would be most benifcial. I've been leaning more towards creating multiple databases and having a dropdown box in the beginning to open what database(version) you would like to view. Is this the only way, or does anyone have any suggestions on how to make my idea better?? Just trying to Brainstorm, also, I'm only an intern so my experience is limited.:D
Thanks in advance!!
Hi Guys
I wonder if anyone could give me some advice on a problem i have with an access database.
I have designed a database and a data input form to collect data that is input by workers, the problem i have is that only one person can enter a record at a time.
I curently use 2 replicated database's on two seperate computers and run the synchronisation once one person has finished so that all the changes are replicated to the 2 different databases
If there is any other easier way to accomplish this i would be very greatful if anybody can shed some light on the subject.
Thanks
Brad
Now, I'm not a (complete) newbie when it comes to Access, but this is stumping me to the point that my head hurts from the desk banging. :p
There are two tables in the database, tbl_minerID and tbl_collection with a one-to-many relationship from tbl_minerID to tbl_collection. tbl_minerID contains a column populated by autonumber and a name column (tied to cbo_name on the form). The form allows you to type in a record for various values, which then ties that entry to the minerID so that only those records display for the name selected in cbo_name.
At least that's how it used to work. Now, no matter what I do, I get a type mismatch error in my VBA code (copied exact from the working copy, with names changed) which directs me to: rs.FindFirst "[MinerID] = " & Str(Nz(Me![cbo_name], 0)) Totally stumped on this, and hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Advance thanks for any assistance you can give :)
Database attached if anyone wants to look at it.
I searched around to have multiple users and the only thing I found on the topic was
the following:
On the Tools menu, click Options.
On the Advanced tab, under Default open mode, click Shared.
and its suppose to work (which it didn't since I'm posting)
I have a few tables and a few forms, and I need to be able to have 2 or 3 people on at any given time.
Thanks for any help or even looking @ my post
I created a database and a form on it that i enter myself right now. I am planning on using this database on several PCs with different users. Currently I have this database on the network, but when multiple people try to access it at the same time they cannot access without saving a separate copy or just having read access.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI need to put my Database to work with multiple users.
1- I already have divide the database;
2- I already have made the file accde of the front-end file;
3- I already have put the two files: back-end and front-end on the network server.
My problem now is that if I open a Form to register data the other User can't open the same form to add data. What I must do to work in the same form with multiple user?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have my database on a server and i want 2 or more users to access that database from different stations at the same time. I am using MS Access 2010, what do i need to do and how do i do it to allow more than one person on my database? The database contains 2 tables - table 1 has 1,450,00 records - table 2 will be populated with some of the records from table 1.Table 2 is empty.3 sub-forms - 1 main form and 1 report (for labels).
Both tables have the same fields, but not all the fields are filled in and each user will be filling in the fields required.Each record is a case, and no more than one user will be assigned to a case.I need at least 2 users working on my database at the same time, i would like to have 4 users working on this database if possible.
Another baffling problem - there are far more traps for new players than I ever imagined. Any suggestions gratefully received.
I have a fe/be split database with multiple users on a network. All users have the same front end on their PCs and are either running Access 2000 or 2003.
Problem 1:
Some users cannot open the database at all, getting the error message "Could not open xxxxx.mdb - File already in use."
Problem 2:
Some users can open the database but get a message in the status bar saying "Recordset not updateable."
Other users, running either Access 2000 or 2003 have been able to use the database without difficulty. The number of users is in single figures and it is unlikely that more than 4 people have attempted to log on simultaneously.
The database default open mode is set to "shared", the default record locking is set to "No locks" and the "Open database using record-level locking box is checked".
I have been having difficulties setting the security for the database (see other postings on this site) and so it is currently unsecured with no password set for the admin user. Users are joined to their default system Workgroup Information Files.
My guess is that there is a setting on the Access installation of the user's PC that needs to be changed but this is only a guess - anybody any idea what I should try next?

Keith.
how can i change a database to allow multiple access?
is there a downside to doing this?
eg. if two or more people are trying edit the same feild???
Im working on a cross comparison database for the three food vendors for my boss. What is the best way to search across the three tables? They all have similar record titles but arent all uniform, and I cant change the records because I have to have the record names the same as the files that are being exported from the vendors websites. What would be the easiest way to search across three similar but not uniform tables in one database? Ive also tried to make three buttons to update the lists after I download the items to have up-to-date prices on the products but am unsure if they are actually working correctly.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have an access Database stored on a server that until now was only ever accessed by the one user. Now more users need to access it at the same time. However when a second user trys to open the database the error message "File Already in use appears". I did not create this database so have no idea how it was set up. I think it may have something to do with being opened up exclusively. Is there anyway around this by creating a short cut or changing any kind of propertties?

Hi all, i hope this is posted in the right place first of all :) apologies if not..
I have about 8 individual databases which will be used simultaneously by users. I wish to be able to have full control over these databases from a 'master database' including being able to delete the data in there (possibly import fresh data but not 100% needed) and export data to be analysed in Excel etc
I figure this can be done with access but if i'm on the totally wrong track i would be appreciative if someone could give me a push in the right direction..
If any more infomation is needed then let me know.
Thanks :)
