Was wondering how i can import data from a file to a table in different fields. The data inside the file is described with the number of characters and space's between. The attached file has the data.
For example in the file attached, the first four characters represent a data like 'ticket number' and maybe the third line 6 to 10 charcaters represent 'name of a passenger'.
Now how do i import these data to a table into respective fields in a table.
I believe I may have asked this question before but…
I have a FE/BE database. Is there a way to set the tables as “read only”? I’d like the FE to be read only, but allow users to see all the tables, not just forms etc. However, if they open the BE, they would have full control.
Thanks,

Ok, what i have is a form on which a user has an Option Group for selection on which records are shown (consumable and Non-consumable), also on the form is a combo box which reads from Table Asset Categories. However what i want to do is allow this combo box to read from another table depending on which option is selected in the Option Group. ie change its Table and row source, but i can't figure this out. I thought something in the region of:
If Me.OptionGroup = 0 then recordsource = "Asset Categories"
Else RecordSource = "Consumable Categories"
End IF
Any Help Please
can anyone plz tell me how to make a table read only to prevent users from changing the records in the table?

I have a Workorder table and a Workorder form. I would like to be able to make a Workorder closed when it is finished so that it is read only. I have a finished date field so maybe by entering a date there could be a way to accomplish this?

my question is:
in access, how can I read data from two different tables and show the result in another table? in details:
i have two tables named hydraulics and mechanics. i want to read the data "reliablility" from table "hydraulics" and "reliablility" from "mechanics". and then i want to multiply these values and show in a newly created table as "results".
thanks for visiting and answering.
p.s: my file is attached, everything in german, sorry.
I am new to Access, so bear with me.
I am using Access 2007.
I have 4 tables created, and they are breaking out information for recording files that are being created from a PBX.
The tables are created as thus:
tbl_1
Key:ext_id | extension
tbl_2
Key:loc_id | location
tbl_3
Key:f-type_id | filetype
tbl_4
Key: mass_id | filename | date | loc_id | ext_id | f-type_id
Now I have created the relationships between the tables for the various ID's. My issue is the following:
I will be automating this process, so when the data is imported to the various tables, I need the relevant keys from tbl_1 tbl_2 and tbl_3 to be added to tbl_4 when the new data is brought into the tables.
As to the process of importing the data, I was looking at using PHP to facilitate this. Any ideas, help or direction would be greatly appreciated. I have looked around the net for an idea of how to solve this, but, being so new, I am not exactly sure how to word the question.
Thanks!
Hi, I know this has to be simple, but when I test a Data Access Page on my local machine I get an error that says "data source field is read only". I've made these pages before and never had a problem with writing to the database using a DAP. The database is not read only. Any ideas?
Thanks...Doug
I have read only access to a database maintained by a vendor. I am using an append query to search for new records in that database every time my database opens through a macro. This adds any new records to my table. I then add additional information to each record in my table. This is newly acquired information, not calculated, and it is different for each record.
My question is can I keep my table up to date with the vendor table without running the append query macro at open every time as my database may remain open for extended periods of time during updating of records.
I have a table that I imported from another database. I used import Access - Link to the table source by creating a linked table. - then downloaded in my database.
I want to use the linked table to create relationships and forms but do not want to even accidently edit it. The table gets updated in the database on a weekly bases and I am hoping it gets updated automatically in my database as well. does it automatically get updated or do i have to set up something?
Also, I want to protect the data in that particular table and either password protect it or make it read only. Can I do that? If so, how?
Is there a way I can read data directly from an access query to excel
without having to import it to excel??? If there is . How???
I want to "lock" a record in a table so that it is read only and cannot be accessed/edited/deleted. Is it possible to lock a single record in this way on a permanent basis? It's actually the first record in the table.

I have an Access Data Access Page based on a query which is not updatable.
The query is based on a many-to-many table (e.g. OfficeProducts with foreign keys for OfficeID and ProductID and an Amount field). The query is not updatable as I have included outer joins to the Office and Product tables to get all their records back.
(I'm not sure if I've done this the best way, but need to be able to list all the possible Products for each Office whether they use them or not.)
I want the user to be able to update the Amount field, so e.g. if it is currently set to 50 to be able to change it to 40, or if it is currently null (as there is no record so far for that OfficeProduct) then to insert a record into OfficeProducts with the OfficeID, ProductID and Amount value entered.
I thought this would be straightforward by creating a new textbox in the same section as the current Amount field, calling it NewAmount and letting the user update this, fire an event trigger to either update or insert into the table, and refresh the query and record on the form/DAP so that Amount shows the newly updated/inserted value.
I have been searching for ages... cannot locate either the best event or events to use for this nor the code to enter!! Please please help!!!!!
(This is actually for a charity helping people suffering from emergencies in developing countries, not OfficeProducts, so your spot in heaven will be reserved if you can help ;) Thanks)

Hi,
In one of the column of a table of my SQL Server contains around 500 employee names. Some of them are written in capital letters and some are not. Some of them with first character capital and rest all small.
I am using FE as MS Access. When user search the record thru a normal textbox (behind which I put small bunch of code to get the desired data in sub-form) user must enter searching name in the textbox in the same fashion the actual data available in the table.
e.g. let us say the employee name is John
User who searching John’s record must enter first letter capital otherwise it will not search. Why like this if table in on server.
This doesn’t happen when table is local in access. What is the solution to this?
All the suggestions are welcome.
With kind regards,
Ashfaque

I have a brand new database in-the-works that is causing me headaches. For some reason, if I create a query and then exit and re-enter the database, I cannot re-open that query. I get an Error 3112 (cannot be read; no read permission on <name>) and to contact the administrator or creater of the database.
I'M the creator and the administrator on this thing - so why can't I get into the darn thing? I haven't added any security features. This has never happened before on any database I've created, so obviously, it's frustrating.
Any ideas?
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 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?)
I am using calculated field as a data type in access 2010.
They are working fine.
However, I added a new field and now the final calc won't work.
I have Subtotal adding loads of fields together. Works fine.
Then I have a VATunit field which is a double integer, so enter 20 and my next field is VATTotal calculates the SubTotal + the VATunit by doing (Subtotal/100)*VATunit. This calculation is fine and gives me the correct amount.
The next field is a Total field. Which adds Subtotal and the VATTotal together. Howver, the Total is the same as Subtotal. It is not adding the VATTotal to it?
