I maintain an Access 97 database system with a number of front ends and two different back ends (for security reasons). The structure is replicated in different directories as there are training, development and back-up copies as well as the live system. I want the menu page to display the name of the front end that is opened and the path and name of the two back ends, referenced from the current database (front end). To do this, I want to read the directory for the current database as opposed to the current directory which may be different. I can't find this in any VBA reference for MS Access 97; although I used to use the equivalent in Excel using the Get function - as I remember it.
I am creating an order processing system and am using 2 tables
OrderHeader OrderLines
The OrderHeader table includes the number of orderlines on the order.
I want to ensure that when a user completes the order lines they don't up in a line number greater than the number of lines and want to programatically get the number of lines from the order header table.
The form links to the ID of the order header table by using a combo box, which works fine and I can even display the number of order lines in the combo box.
I don't know how to use an ADODB recordset to query the current database.
I can't use something like : objConnection.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=c:filesdatabase.mdb"
which i see all over the place, because I don't know where on the PC this will be running on it will be stored.
There must be a simple way to find out a value from a field within a recordset of the current application database?
I used to know how to get the path for the current database by running a query. I forgot how to do it. I am using Access 2003. I have tried querying the msystem tables without success. I have searched forums and the web without success. Anyone? Thanks!:)
I'm having difficulties creating a sql statement which updates data in another Access database from a current database.
I'm able to do an insert and delete statement just perfectly, but not an Update. :confused:
For example, here is a dummy sample (which does not work):
Update tbl_test1 IN '\C:Tempabc.mdb', tbl_test2 set tbl_test1.Name = tbl_test2.Name Where tbl_test1.ID = tbl_test2.ID
I tried a couple of variations, however, I keep getting an error. Also, I don't want to create a database link (due to the sheer complexity of my project, which I'll spare you the details..)
Does anyone know how to do this? I searched the forums and came up with zilch! =(.. Help??!
I am currently looking for coding on my current database's login screen. It functions correctly but i want to be able to add a user lock out feature to prevent people from constantly trying to hack users passwords...
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.
Currently, I have a database situation in which I am working in one database with data. If this data does not belong in this database I need to be able to take specific fields from the record and insert it into either a new table in a different database I have, or have it copied to a blank form that would accept it.
What I'd like to do is have an "export button", where the OnClick event, exports a single table into a new accde file. This would allow the end users to zip this file up and send it to me.
Because of all sorts of stupidity, I have no network capability and must send data back and forth via email.
I have digressed to a replication table that needs to be uploaded, once data is entered by the users...
Because the files can get relatively large (for emailing purposes), I am trying to figure out how I can get just one table from them vs. sending the whole application file back to me... It's pretty vital that they not be able to edit the table because that could really mess up the process.
So any way to create a new lock file from within the current Db?
Code: Function Write_rstADO_to_CurrdB_Table() 'Assumes you have already setup a DSN to your Server 'Assumes YOURDESTINATIONTABLE is the same structure as your SERVER.TABLE Dim cnnADO As ADODB.Connection Dim wkspDAO As DAO.Workspace
I am creating a database that tracks current projects for my team at work.
Some projects are only due once (e.g., mailed brochures due on 1/1/14) and some are due at scheduled intervals (e.g., status report due monthly, quarterly, etc.)
Ultimately, I'm hoping that my end result will allow us to click on a form and look at what everybody has due that day, in the next 7 days, and so forth.
What I really need is for when the form opens, it looks at todays date, then matches current user and then goes to that record for today, if no current user there, then will goto new record..
i know, sounds complicated, and probably is really easy, but my heads not with it today, as about to get drunk as its my 40th, and got people ringing and texting and still trying to get this done....
I've included a copy of this database, named Timecards..
So I have this relatively simple problem: I need to create a button that once clicked will open the Save As dialog box and allow the user to save a copy of the current database where he wishes. The filename should contain todays date in DDMM format along with some pre-set text e.g. DDMM PresetText.
Brand new on here and desparate for some help and guidence.
So far with Access I have just used it as a store of addresses to mailshot prospective clients.
However, I now need a more complex database and this is where you might be able to help.
First things first, most of my clients are in universities. This means that I can be used by more than one person in more than one department at a university.
Does this mean I need to do three tables:
1/ "University Details" which gives the address details 2/ "Department" storing the departments of the unis we work for 3/ "Client" Name of the client(s) in that department.
hi, I have a simple qst. I have a subform that I show as a grid. I have a field called importe that I need to do an insert with it when I press a button on my form. The thing is. How Can I get the current row of the grid in the subform? After I get the currentrow, How can I insert this value on a variable via vb script? I'm using access 2003 thanks MAriano
I need a query so that only date in the current week ending are shown i.e. so that the query automatically updates every week to show the latest data for the week ending.
There's this problem that has been racking my brain all day. I have a form that contains a subform (modelling a many to many relationship). So a person and the applications he/she uses. I then have a combobox with a list of applications and a button below the combobox. When something is selected from the combobox and then the button is pressed, the application gets connected to the user. The problem I'm having is that say a person is just being added and no information is entered yet. If the user tries to add an application, my code tries to tie the two key's (autonumber id's) together (but there isn't one yet for the non-existant person) and the code blows up. Shouldn't access just make one when the form is opened? I guess access waits until there is data added in order to create a new primary key.
So I really don't have a clue how to solve this issue. I tried just running an insert SQL statement but I have no data to insert. And then, I would have to use a DLookup for the id, but I would have nothing to search on. I really don't know how to fix this problem. Any ideas?
Just curious as to what others are working on. Here is what I'm in the middle of and what the basic purpose is:
It's a db to track parts we swap with our customers. It's primary table is on a sql sever so that the anyone in our company can view only the data via DAP's. The other tables are in the .mdb on the file sever. I plan on having it up and running in the next week or so. It will be used (add/edit,etc data), by approx 8-15 users in three different buildings off a file server share folder...
I'm creating a database for a college assignment, and for this database, I need to record the current user ID when a record is created/updated. But I dont know the function (like, Now() returns the current date/time) that gives me the user ID. The help files are awful and I cant find the function I need =(
Probably an easy one here.. Got a table that I will like to do a query on.. All I need is to list all records for the current month. So obviously, when it goes to the next month, the query would update and show only records for that month.
What do I need to put under the date criteria to get this query?!?.. Any ideas?
I have around 50 jobs on a table. These have a 'start date' of various dates in a year. A field called 'complete' indicates whether a job has been closed off or not and a field called 'frequency' determines how often the jobs recurr (in days).
I need a query (which I'll run every night) which will examine all the incomplete jobs on the table and copy all this data to new jobs and change the 'start date' to the previous 'start date' + 'frequency'.
That in itself is not the problem. My problem is how to tell Access that when the current and next instances of a job exist, not to copy it a third time.
In other words, after the query runs there should always be 2 instances of the job on the table...current and next.
I have a query that pulls all orders out of 3 tables that fit specific criteria.
tblLotInfo.WOSD = Between ([tblLotInfo].[WOSD])<=Date() And [Forms]![frmRaisedPanelLots].[EndingDate]
tblDelivery.Status = <>"On Floor" And <>"Floor Hold" And <>"On Floor LV Losee" And <>"On Floor LV N. 5th" And <>"On Floor ONT Cucamonga" And <>"On Floor ONT Locust" And <>"Shipped" And <>"Installed" And <>"Invoiced" And <>"Completed" And <>"Cancelled" And <>"Returned to Floor LV Losee" And <>"RETURNED TO FLOOR N. 5th" And <>"Returned to Floor ONT Cucamonga" And <>"Returned to Floor ONT Locust"
tblLotInfo.DoorStyle = Like "*eagle*" Or Like "*H/E*" Or Like "*RP*" Or Like "*F/E*" Or Like "*CC-23R*" Or Like "*AR-756*" Or Like "*Deco*"
This query works fine through 12/29/05. Anything date entered after that gives me "NO CURRENT RECORD". I don't know why. We have orders through Feb of next year scheduled. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
I am working on a query to select the most current value for a given record based on dates. The record has an associated cost for a given year say 2000. For years 2001 to 2006 there is no cost. I want to use the cost in 2000 for the most current cost even though my date criteria specifies say 2002. Can this be done within the select query?
I looked for a post with something similar with what I want, but i did not found. I need to make a query in access and that query must have a field "current number" that field should return the number of the line. Let say I have a list of 10 people, the "Curent number" should return for the first line 1 for the second 2 ....for the last line 10.
