I have a table that have about 5000 records. Also I have a report that include a label which is linked to this table.
The problem i have is that when i have heavy data in the table like 5000 record and above, the label is not taking data from first to last record from the table, it is taking from record 1200 reaching record 5000 then it takes record 1 to 1199.
Therefore when label is previewed, we are viewing data on label from 1200 to 5000 then from 1 to 11900 and not from 1 to 5000
On the other hand, when i don't have heavy data in the table, everything is working good and the label is getting its data from first to last record successfully.
I was wondering if it's possible to link a label on a form so that it automatically displays the contents of a field in a corresponding record?
eg I have a form for the rental of DVDs. On the form is a Text box labeled "RentalID", one for the "MemberID", both from my table "tbl_Rental". Below is the contents of a table displaying the dvds rented out for that rentalID. Is it possible to have a label or a piece of text that automatically displays the calculated field from a query that has that member's fullname in it?
I have an MS Access accdb with linked SQL Server 2012 ODBC tables. I am working on a procedure to copy data from local tables to these linked tables (identical schema). I did a simple
Code:
DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO linkedTable SELECT * FROM localTable"
This works, but is very slow. Way too slow. (INSERT copies the data one record at a time).
I would like to copy the data in a bulk operation, or operations that I can execute programmatically.
Hi, I am extracting data from linked db2 table using access make table query. First I create a select query and can view the linked db2 data, but when I change to a make table query I get an error message, "invalid argument", when I run the make table query. There is no selection critera specified. Has anyone had this happen? and Do you know a solution?
I have one DB that is used for creating/storing customer ID's, and another DB that is used for creating/storing job information for customers.I have linked the table from the customer DB to the job DB.
There is a table in the job database that holds customer name and ID, and some VBA that generates unique job codes.
Is it possible to have the data from the linked table automatically update into the existing table?
I'm having trouble with a new project I'm working on. The application is mainly going to be used to display data, which comes from a linked table. It has to be a linked table (in my opinion) because it's replaced once per week from a fresh data dump. For each of those records, though, there will be notes made in a local table named "Custom-Data". My trouble is displaying a mix of information from the linked table, "Roster", and "Custom-Data" because linked tables can't be assigned a primary key.
Essentially, when a record is pulled up, a bunch of data from "Roster" will be shown in addition to the comments from "Custom-Data".
In a linked table Access solution where the tables reside on the network, and each user has a front-end on their desktop, does all the data travel over the network to the clients desktop to do the query, or since the backend is Access and it can obviously understand the query, does the backend do the query and just return the resultset?
My goal is to get a huge amount of data paired down so that I can work with it in Excel.
I started with a 14 million record text file provided by a government agency. I used a text editor to break that into 7 2-million record files to fit into Access.
I figure I can filter each of those files down to 500,000 or so records, so that I can manipulate them in Excel. The problem is, when I open a text file in Access, Access insists on linking it, and then I can't delete data from a linked file.
I have all my data sitting on a server in SQL. Within Access, I have linked tables pointing at SQL tables. I display the data on an Access form. Somewhere in their it is dropped a few records. This system is used for in and out processing and occasionally misses a few individuals. Could this have anything to do with the method in opening the table, ie dbopenTable vs dbOpenSnapshot.
I am trying to build a Form that will show an estimate (then eventually will be moved to a project if customer and employee aggree to price and project) in a Form F_Estimates is a M_Customers(Customer_ID) (Based on a Table) and thier info in a Subform. Also is the "projected costs" from parts out of the Parts(Part_ID) (Based on another Table) in a second Subform as a list that I need to calculate $$$ in (Dang that still sounds evil and definately NOT understandable even after edit... so)
Here's some basic info
Tables
EstimatesandParts - Table EstimatesandParts_ID : Autonumber Estimate_ID : Number Part_ID : Number
Parts - Table Part_ID : Autonumber PartNumber : Text (not a number due to some part#s have letters in them) PartName : Text Unit Price : Currency Description : Text
Estimates - Table Estimate_ID : Autonumber InvoiceNumber : Text (again can have letters in it) EstimateDate : Date/Time EstimateTime : Date/Time Employee_ID : Number Customer_ID : Number ProblemDescription : Memo
Customers - Table Customer_ID : Autonumber FirstName : Text LastName : Text CompanyName : Text Address : Text City : Text Province_State : Text Postal_ZIPCode : Text (CDN Postal codes are letter num letter...)
you can see the link table in the EstimatesandParts Table
Now I want to use that link to populate a subform in the F_Estimates form
Forms
SF_Customers - SubForm
(all boxes atm are text boxes on this form till I figure out the Parts section then will use same base for this so I can pick any customer in the database to be the customer for this estimate. Also will have ctrl button for making new customer with customer form and a refresh on Focus Gain bit of code)
FirstName LastName CompanyName Address City Province_State Postal_ZIPCode
SF_Parts - SubForm Default View -Continuous Forms
(want it to be a list of parts that I can grab prices and descriptions from then in a bit of code to calculate a cost of parts)
Part_ID : Combo Box Control Source - Part_ID Row Source Type - Table/Query Row Source - SELECT Parts.Part_ID, Parts.PartNumber, Parts.PartName, Parts.UnitPrice, Parts.Description FROM Parts ORDER BY Parts.Description;
(Pulls info from the table Parts for input into a list of parts to be used on that project)
PartName : Text Box UnitPrice : Text Box
(here's where I run into problems due to the fact that the form is not based on the parts table but rather the link table EstimatesandParts so I can't propogate the info to the 2 other text boxes, ps I dont care if they cant be text boxes and have to be linked or some other type I'm not "set" just need to find out how to make it work )
(have tried a couple things to complete this task)
(works AWSOME ... for ONE ROW then propogates the second selection to the first and second and third selection to first second and third and so on ...)
(tried to make control source for the txtPartName to)
=Forms!Parts!Partname
(Doesnt exist .. akkk, cant use ActiveForm either as it doesn't focus on the SubForm but the MainForm ... cry)
(Combo Boxes Select Customer and Employee from list of present ones of each)
SF_Customers SF_Parts
(Both SubForms on the main form)
Now this is an Exerp from my entire Database I like to work on one small problem at a time and I have made this its own little database till I figure out the problem then I will bring the info I learn back into the rest of the database and go from there ...
Hope you can help I have a feeling I will need to make a recordset and go from there but I'm just not able to wrap my head around that for some reason
Thanks in advance for ANY and ALL help that I get from here
I have a Form that reads from one Linked Table and Updates a Local Table. Is it possible to move the Local Table to the Back End and still be able to append fields and change field names etc?
If anyone can help, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
I have linked a SQL table to my ms access database. In order to view the SQL table as read-only and still be able to update the access table I have setup a form with a subform. I know it would be a dublication of data but is there a way thru code of copying the data on the subform to my access table. I was hoping I could put a button on the form that would copy this data. My idea is after the copy is done all the information I need will be in my access table. I'm new to this linking idea and am worried I will only have half the information I need if the link breaks etc. Thanks
I have a table in MS Access 2010 that is a link to an external data file in .csv format. I assumed that it was not possible to append data to a linked table until recently. I appended 3 records to the linked table and discovered that the 3 records were appended to the table and the external data file it was linked to.
Although familiar with CR, SQL and other such things. I have never had cause to use Access all that much.... Until Now!
My problem is easiest explained by my requirements....
I have a db table called Source. The data for this Table is populated by a form called Technical. Technical containes a series of fields (SO No, SO Line No, WO No etc etc). Some of these fields are lookup fields linked directly to the SO_Header Table in our main ERP software via and ODBC connection. The result is the SO No field is populated with a list of Sales Order No's as they exist within the ERP software. Within the Technical Form I have also the Customer Name.
This is where the problems begin. Within the ERP software we have two tables which I need to use: SO_Header and Customer. The SO_Header contains all the Sales Order info and the Customer table contains all the customer info. What I need to do is populate the customer name field in by db with the relevant customer based on the SO No chossen. However the Customer Name does not exist in the SO_Header table. Instead both the SO_Header table and the Customer tables contain a field called Cust_Code.
Now if I wanted to link these in Crystal Reports I would link from the SO_Header table to the Customer table using the Cust_code field. This would give me the corresponding Customer name based on the Sales Order No.
How can I get the correct Customer Name to appear automatically in my Access form based on a SO No chossen by the user?
I would realy appreciate any help on this! If you need me to clarify anything please ask.
I have developed an application using MS Access and MySql tables. The Access forms maintain/display orders that are stored in the MySQL linked tables. The MySql tables can also be updated independently by another process. The problem is that the Access forms do not reflect the backend changes when they are made by the other process.
For the moment I have implemented an on Timer process that causes a requerys for the forms every 5 seconds but this is not very elegant and causes the form screens to flicker.
Is there a better way I can automatically make the front end forms reflect changes to the back-end database when it is updated indepenently ?
I am getting two different results when I preview or print a report. When I preview a report the report title and page title are populated with the strings I built and assigned to global variables. In the report load event the GVs are assigned to the text boxes. Everything works great. If I hit the print icon while previewing the report, those text boxes are populated with the right strings. The problem is I have the option to send the report directly to the printer without previewing it, using the code below.
When this is executed, the report title and page title text boxes are blank. I have put a debug.print (the 3 GVs) in the load event and it spits out the three strings, but the actual printout has no titles. The bound data always prints, but these unbound text boxes fail. I have even copied the string assignment to the open event and that did not work.
When data is input to my form and when i click on preview report, the preview report displays all results (my report source is from my query). However when I click on print preview a portion of data is missing. Basically is the check boxes I have in the report. They all are grayed out. These check boxes are unbounded and not related to the query. Basically I have an event procedure created upon clicking print preview as follows:
Private Sub PreviewMRO_Click() DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord DoCmd.OpenReport "rptMRODataEntry", acViewReport If MROReason = "Repair" Then
[Code] ....
The selections are all drop down boxes in the form and upon selection it will populate the text boxes in my report. It seems to work perfectly upon clicking the preview report button but when I click on print preview the check boxes are grayed out.
I'm using MS access and Excel 2000. I have an Excel spreadsheet that contained 8 columns, the first column has all cell format as Number, the rest of the column is set as custom date format of 'dd/mm/yyyy'. When I create a linked table in MS Access, the data types does not matched my excel spreadsheet columns, the 'Number' data type is a double and I want a Long Integer in Access, and the custom date format become text datatype but I wanted a DateTime datatype. Is there any work around this? Seems like it is a common problem.
I created a number of graphs on forms that graph GamesSold vs RDate. If a game has no sales, there won't be any data. Is there a way I can add a label that will automatically display "Game is not yet released" and make it dependant upon the graph having data, and invisible if it does?
I created a table called weld_performance. it consist weld_id, weld_prod, total_rt, accepted, rejected, and rejection rate. from weld_prod until rejection rate, the type data is number. the rejection rate field size is Single, and Format is Percent.
Based on this table, i create a query called query1. and based on this query1, i create a chart. please see attachment pic001. as you can see the data label on the chart is showing 0.66667. but in my query1, the value is 67%. if i click the value (67%) it's change to 0.66667.
So I guess, the chart is read the 0.66667 value from the query. now what i want to ask is, how can my chart data label is shown 67% instead of 0.66667 ??
I am creating a database to house all the information for a box content label. For any given product it could have multiple items that go on the label.
I would like to setup my form so that I could type in the Model # once and then type in each item that would go in the box. I don't mind typing in each item individually and then pressing an "add" button. But I would like it to show everything that is currently on that box content label and be able to delete items out of the label.
Is this possible? What would be the best way to do this?
I have an Access 2000 database with some linked tables. When upsizing the database I selected 'Save password and user ID with attached tables'. Therefore in the Linked Table manager after each table in brackets I have the name of the database to which the tables are linked.
I am now wondering if I want to link the tables to a different database how do I change the database name, which is in brackets after the table name.
If I select a table and select 'prompt for a new location each time' I am getting prompted to select a different DSN. At the moment I don't have a DSN and I don't want to have to set one up.
I imagine that the database name and the user id and password I entered in the upsizing wizard are stored in some configuration box but I don't know where I can access this.
