Not sure what section this should go in but it vaguley relates to access and VBA so it's in here.
After a complete nightmare trying to do some decent graphs in ASP i decided to try using excel linked to my Access DB.
I've set up my pivot tables in Excel to link to the Db on the webserver. The user can open the workbook from the website and view the reports and graphs.
The problem is the database contains sensitive data for more than one organisation.
I have a workbook for each organisation selected dynamically when the user logs in to the webpage.
I've set a parameters in the pivot table querys so that all querys will be filtered using the users organisation code.
Trouble is you can access the data source of the pivot table through the wizard and ammend the parameter to view other organisations data.
Is there a way of preventing the user from accessing this feature i.e locking the wizard?
Hello, Is it possible for a [MSAccess] query to obtain table data from an [external] ODBC Datasource? Something like: INSERT INTO TableA SELECT * FROM ODBC;DSN=MyDSN;UID=;PWD=;.TableA
I found a similar thread but didn't understand the answer which mentioned linking a back-end to the Access Table.
Is it possible to do this through vba. If security is setup for all the tables and a user goes in and creates a new table, can that table have security applied to it using code?
So maybe the creator of the table has read/write privileges but everyone else only has read only.
I have a SQL table shown on a form which i wish to filter by current logged in user -
I have a local table storing the currently logged in user and all records in the SQL table have a field called userEmail
so - i have forms that take their datasource from a query which then only shows the user his/her records.
SELECT * FROM userDetails, dbo_TrackerMainData WHERE (((dbo_TrackerMainData.userEmail)=userDetails.user email));
that works fine - after much torment, i figured out that you must use the query as the datasource and not the table as the datasource with a filter, because that just didn't work.
anyhoo.
my problem then is that when i use a form in this way - ie, datasource is a query, i can't then modify any data in the table!
I need to have a few checkboxes on the form that set values - for instance archiveFlag and TestFlag are fields and i need to be able to change their value.
If i set the form datasource to the table (dbo_TrackerMainData) it works ok - my check boxes tick and set -1 (but i see ALL records)
if i set the form datasource to the query i see only 'my' records, but when i try to click the checkboxes nothing happens..
I have an accdb file, holding all the tables on my server. Clients are linked to this one from their workstations. Speed is a constant issue mostly when more users are linked and I'm trying to find ways to make things faster.
Would it be possible to open a recordset when a form is loaded and set it as the form's data source? Would that make operation faster, at all?
The reason this idea came up is that it would be logical to use a small size recordset rather than large tables or queries that takes a while to load during starting form that use tables/queries with large number of records.
Is there a way to append a pivot table to a table or possibly make a query based on a pivot table? I need to get a count of Part Numbers and I need the average price for all these parts. Additionally I want to ignore a count of less than 3.
Also I am having trouble filtering on the count in the pivot table... haha, so I was gonna Query on it later on.
Can anyone help me with setting up a Visual Basic project to where the datasource I use is a Access database on my harddrive. This Access database isn't linked to a server or anything. It's just a database I created and would like for my project to open this file everytime it's attempting to pull data. How can I make this connection? If I am able to use ADO, how do I go about doing this? I would think ADO wouldn't be necessary though.
What Im trying to do is create a query on the back of the one above which will have Problem Source in column 1 and then 2 more columns with their counts in them. So:
SELECT SearchCriteria.[Problem Source], Count(SearchCriteria.[Problem Source]) AS [CountOfProblem Source], Count(SearchCriteria.[Problem Source2]) AS [CountOfProblem Source2] FROM SearchCriteria GROUP BY SearchCriteria.[Problem Source];
I guess this is because it's filtering on the first Problem Source and then looking for non-blanks in the second Problem Source which isnt what Im trying to do!
I have a query I saved which pulls data and a form that creates a pivot table based upon the query.
Is there a way to create a query based upon criteria such as dates to limit my recordset? I'm trying to set date values in a form and update my saved query but I cannot figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.
Here is the SQL I use to create the standard query. What I plan on including through vb is a "Revenue_Date" variable "FROM" and "TO" date in the code to limit the output based upone the dates entered.

I have set up a query to filter information between 2 dates using
Between [Start date] And [Finish Date] to filter the info. I'm using office 2003 which allows me to set various pivot charts based on this info with no problems at all. unfortunatly for me several other people are using office 2000 which doesnt have the same chart functionality. so i'm setting up another switch board with 2000 type charts. Right my problem as long as I dont have the Between [Start date] And [Finish Date] codes in my query I've produced the charts I require with no problems. As soon as I add the filter into the query when i go to edit the chart it comes back saying problems updating data. This I presume is because the query wants an input. Is there a way around this?????
I've spent hours searching for this, hopefully one of you can brighten my day!!!!:D
So I have a layout formulated in my head on how I want this to look but I'm really unsure of what all I need to setup to make this happen. I've never been fond of pivot tables and due to this don't utilize them much to know how to appropriately use it in this instance.
The attached pic file shows how I'd like the form to be setup. There will be fluff at the top that basically signifies what the record is (i.e. name of the jobsite). (A) is a drop down that will list a bunch of categories (bathroom, kitchen, laundry, etc.) Upon selecting that it will populate (C) for the subcategories relative to the main category (A). (C) is a list of part names that are associated with (A). The Column heading (B) is the Plan number which there can be 3 different plans or 5 different plans. The inside data (D) is the count of each part (C) used in each Plan (B) (i.e. 2 sinks in Plan 1, 3 sinks in plan 2, etc). Listed right below that number I want to link a picture (E) showing what that, for example, sink looks like.
So I'm not sure which tables need to be created to make this Pivot Table work. I know it's not an easy solution but if someone could take a little time to help me figure it out I'd appreciate it.
I have a pivot table which I want to associate with a table in my access database. The problem is that when I try to associate it at design time, it gives me an error saying that the database is locked and I cannot access it.
I am using access 2003. Is there any solution to this problem....like making the database unlocked. If not, I wil have to create another database with the same table which seems crazy to me.
My DB has many (!) forms that are based on Crosstabs queries. The headers are years, and therefore my formfields has controlsources like 2014, 2015 and so on.
Example:
The table it comes from looks something like this:
The crosstab then takes the EndYear as a coloumn header. Then my forms use these fields, now named 2014, 2015, 2016 .... and give me a nice looking table showing the accumulated "end" for multiple projects.
The problem is when the year changes after 31/12, all fields must manually be changed. This means I have to manually change 2014 to 2015, 2015 to 2016 and so on in all of my formsfields controllsource.
I have played around to find a way to change the source of the field, and hoped I could say something like =year(now()) and for the next year say =year(now())+1 but this only returns that year as a value, and not as a controlsource...
The query functions nicely (ive changed the system time, and it has no issues with this structure), but the forms source is still in the previous year, and returns and error (of course).
When the year changes past new years eve, so will the headers (fieldname) change... but how to make the form change fieldsource?
Hi, I hope someone can help me. I have a database as thus:
Several tables ->appended together using 'union select' into a query called 'sheet1'-> information that is coded converted via linked tables in a query called 'sheet2'
'Sheet 2' looks completely fine - it works dandy but when I try and run a pivot table not all of the values in one column that should show don't even come up as an option.
The values that are missing on the pivot report do actually exist in the query that it is running from.
There are no filters on and Pivot tables work okay on the origional tables.
I'm trying to use a PivotTable Form (in Access), in order to automate a process (previously data was exported to Excel and the pivot table was created manually). I've got my pivot table form working fine but I need to provide the user with a way to refresh the Pivot table - i.e. re-run the underlying query.
In Access Help it says to select design view and then click the Refresh button (the one with the big red '!' icon). This does work and the data is updated but it's not a user friendly option.
Opening the form doesn't automatically refresh the pivot either, so does anyone know a way I can provide a button with VBA code or whatever to manually update the pivot so it reflects changes in the underlying data?
I have a pivot table, It is associated with a table in an another database (access database ofcourse!). What I am doing is that I am inserting new data on a click of a button in that table but the pivot table shows the same old data, it does not refresh..!!
I have a form, containing a button that when clicked, it runs a query and displays the results in Pivot Table view. The query is set to display only results for the manager name selected on the form. So, when someone opens this database, they first select their name from a drop down box and then click the button to run the query. The query displays average call rate for equipment that person is responsible for. The only problem I am having is that if someone goes back to the main form, selects a different name, and clicks the button again, the query will not refresh. The query won't even refresh when I click the Refresh All button in the Ribbon. In order for the query to update, I have to first click the button to refresh the pivot table and then click the button to refresh the query. Is there a way to do these two steps through visual basic, so that the user doesn't have to do those two extra steps?
Right now, I am using the Docmd.OpenQuery code on my button.
I searched the internet and this forum for the answer to this. I did find the exact question posted in this forum way back in 2002 but there was no reponse...
When updating an Excel Pivot table using an Access Union Query as it's source, I receive the message "[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Too Few Parameters".
I found a rather elegant solution here (http://groups.google.co.uk/group/microsoft.public.excel.querydao/browse_thread/thread/1ca76034adc10c1a/204261bda38c118c) Unfortunately, this appears only to work for Access 2003. Does anyone have a solution for Access 2000?
Perhaps I should insist that our IT department upgrade. :p
