I wonder if anyone can help me. I have a table in my database which currently uses 9 fields to make up the primary key. I wanted to add a further 2 fields to this to make 11, however Access will only accept 10. Does anyone know any way around this please?
View RepliesHi,
I'm actually concepting a new site about travelling, in this web site people will be able to post the stories about there travelling (in french its called 'carnet de voyage') So lets say i will let limite texte to around 2 pages and will let upload 15 picture (but have a mini picture and a big picture, so in fact its 30) and i will limite weight for big at 100ko, but pictures is not uploaded in database.. only the link to the uploading file..
The language i want to use is asp and want to use an access database.
My question is considering that if my web site would become 'popular' and let say i have 200 hundred members who have post there stories. it would do about 3000 entries on pictures, and let say that 100 peoples looking at stories at the same time, is this gonna slow down my database or even crash it?
ps: im canadian (french) so sry if my english is a little bad, i have do my best to explain clearly.
Hi all,
I'm getting an error "The setting for this property is too big" for my combo box when trying to load 2 columns (fields) of about 2,000 records using a stored proc (SQL SERVER 2000) to access 2003 as my front end. If i only load the customer number.. one field it does it.. but as soon as i try adding the customer name next to each number I get this error, is there a limitation to the combo box that I'm not aware of?
A newbie to Access
I created a table to store data of my clients.
One of the fields in the table was set aside for the A/c Nos (Primary Key) for my clients.
An example of the A/c no looks like this : 57051-01
After setting the A/c no as the primary key, I cant key in the "01"
The field only allows me to key in 57051.
Is there any way to overcome this? Pls enlighten me!
Hello,
I have a database that has 63 fields. I want to do a query that will give me one aggregate number for all 63 fields. When I try to run it through the Access Query GUI, it only allows me to select 43 of the 63 fields then the buffer is full. So I tried through the SQL GUI and it's better but still will not get the entire 63 fields. So last I tried through the MODULES and wrote a quick VBA and it tells me the string exceeds the 1024 character limit. ARRRRG!! What I'm trying to do is this:
SELECT qryGrpByUL.CellName, ((([qryGrpByUL]![UL0]+([qryGrpByUL]![UL1])*1)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL2]*2)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL3]*3)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL4]*4)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL5]*5)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL6]*6)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL7]*7)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL8]*8)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL9]*9)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL10]*10)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL11]*11)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL12]*12)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL13]*13)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL14]*14)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL15]*15)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL16]*16)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL17]*17)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL18]*18)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL19]*19)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL20]*20)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL21]*21)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL22]*22)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL23]*23)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL24]*24)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL25]*25)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL26]*26)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL27]*27)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL28]*28)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL29]*28)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL30]*30)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL31]*31)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL32]*32)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL33]*33)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL34]*34)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL35]*35)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL36]*36)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL37]*37)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL38]*38)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL39]*39)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL40]*40)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL41]*41)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL42]*42)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL43]*43)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL44]*44)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL45]*45)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL46]*46)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL47]*47)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL48]*48)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL49]*49)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL50]*50)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL51]*51)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL52]*52)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL53]*53)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL54]*54)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL55]*55)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL56]*56)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL57]*57)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL58]*58)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL59]*59)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL60]*60)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL61]*61)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL62]*62)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL63]*63)/63)-110) AS TotalOfUL
FROM qryGrpByUL;
The output is the mean of all the fields and should give me an output that looks like this
CellName TotalOfUL

Is there another route I can take? The database is not a security issue. If you would like it, I'll be happy to pass it along. I am also very flexible. I can modify almost anything for a suitable outcome.
Thanks for your time,
I am creating an access database and I want to know the following limitations;
1. Maximum number of users who can log into the database at a time
2. Maximum size of the database. Here I understand that it is 2GB, but I am confused as to whether it is for .MDB file or for each table in the database.
Can anywone help me in this regard? :confused:
I have a website writen in ASP and connected to Microsoft Access.. Why several people is telling me they couldn't find my website, it's not working. But they didn't tell me what is the error are they getting..
I get about 50 hits daily. Could Access handle this type of job?
Today a guy who has done some Access programming told me that an Access table has a limit on the number of records.
Whereas I was thinking the only limit is the 2 gig size.
Which one of us is correct here?
(Access 2003).
I haven't been able to find if there is a maximum length of text within a textbox.
I have a form on a club database, and one of the textboxes has the details of their photographic experience. I have one person who is a very experienced worker and I need to add more details in the textbox. Currently there are 29 characters, including spaces in the box, but it won't allow me to add any more. I have set the width of the box on the form to a wider setting, but this makes no difference. What can I do?
Hello all
I was wondering if there is limitation to the number of IIf statements that can be nested in a calculated field.
Basically I need to assign a particular ‘label code’ to a record that will be derived from data with in several fields within the query. The data from the table (that the query is derived from) will be completely deleted and recreated on occasions, meaning I can not write data back to the table as it would be lost when the re-creation happens.
There is a possibility of many derivations for the ‘label code’ (maybe up to 100) so the nested IIf code will be substantial.
If there is a better way to do what I want I am all ears however I am not a VB programmer so would rather stick to doing within the query design grid, or SQL at a stretch.
Anyway the main focus to the question is there a limitation to the number of nested IIF statements.
Example preliminary test code:

I have a form that supervisors use to input employee accountability for each day. Once supervisor completes the input, a command button is selected and records are appended to an archive table and then deleted from the "live" table. End of the month, reports pull from the archive table to tally absences.
The problem: when a supervisor submits the daily status report but resubmits the report do to an input error I now have two records for the one reported date.
How do I pull the end of month report without including an earlier record for a duplicate date? Is it possible to have access overwrite any records previously submitted for that day?

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have a database with one main data entry which stores records in a seperate table. There are several thousand records keyed in using this form. Therefore, alongside the entry we have a search form which allow the user to search for a specific record and display it in the main if he/she needs to edit one.
We have received a request from users for a functionality which allows users to browse all records, using the main form layout, that they have keyed in. I guess what I am asking is: Is there a way to limit the records visible in a form using field on that same form as a limitation (ie. the users name - which is a required key-in)?

I have created a very simple Access database with a CompaniesTbl, ContactsTbl and CallsTbl. The database is used to record telesales contact with customers. The tables are set up like this:
The CompaniesTbl has an AutoNumber Primary Key field called CompanyID.
The ContactsTbl has an AutoNumber Primary Key field called ContactID and a foreign key called CompanyID.
The CallsTbl has an AutoNumber Primary Key field called CallID and foreign key called ContactID.
The relationships are set up in the relationships window and referential integrity imposed.
Twice now, while editing a contact record, an error has occured. Task Manager has had to be used to get out of it. The error is either a 'run-time error with a message that does not mean anything' or it says 'unrecognized database format' (!?).
If you open the database again the ContactID field in the Contacts Table is no longer a Primary Key field. If you look in the relationships window - the relationship between the Companies and Contacts tables no longer exists.
Any ideas much appreciated.
Hi,
May I know how do I go about getting the last value of the primary key that I get inserted? I need this PK to link the parent and child tables together.
Thanks for any valuable help!
Hello
I have a problem with a primary key. A table called relaties has a column relatienumber with date type: number, which is also the primary key. When a button is pressed, a function searches info from the table relaties.
The problem is the following: I figured out that when i remove the primary key constraint from the column relatienumber and save the table. the function doesn't work anymore, also when i remake the primary key for this column. How is this possible, because i changed nothing futher.
This is important because i want to change to access db to mssql db and in mssql the function also doesn't work.
It has something to do with this primary key constraint, i think :)
Who has the info???
Is it important that primary key would be a number for performance purposes?
How do I set 2 different fields as one primary key?
How do I set 2 different fields as two separate primary keys?
when defining tables, i normally set an autonumber as a primary key. However, i am working on a particular table, and i would like that no record will have identical values, in three particular fields
aaa bbb 123
aaa ccc 234
ddd fff 555
aaa bbb 123 <- i want to prevent this since a record with those three values already exists
Shall i set these three fields together as a primary key, or can i leave the autonumber as primary key and prevent such duplication in any manner ?
Thank You
Can a PK be a calculated field?
I want to be able create a PK that consists of three strings being added together. The first two would be collected from cascading combo boxes. The third field is a simple text field.
I would then run DLookup to make sure the final string is unique.
I have reasons for not using an autonumber field (there are compatibility issues with existing tables from a much older dbase database).
I have a database that I got up and running but one problem. I have as the primary key a social security number, but I can't seem to be able to add additional information to the same person. All I can seem to do is just replace or edit the one record. Is there a way that I can have more then one order for an individual instead of taking the primary key off of social security numbers?
Do I need a seperate form to enter information because I am currently workin with one form where I can enter and edit the information but no duplicates so lets say if my social was 099-999-9999 I can't add an additional order it seem unl.ess I make a whole new record and make a dummy number...
I have a tblState, every state can have multiple Counties, and every County can have multiple Municipalities
This should be a One to Many to Many, right????
However, several states might have the same County name
In order to resolve this, should I add 2 primary Keys in the tblCounty????
If so, I already tried and couldn’t configure it.
I have attached a sample DB
You can open the relationship view for a better explanation
I appreciate any kind of support
Thank you

I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me? I have two tables which can be linked together as they both contain a field called Company Name. However, in one of the tables I want Company Name to become my primary key but this field contains duplicates. How can Isolve this so that I can still link my two tables together?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi all,
Ive written a program in .net and am currently using an access db as the backend.
In the db I had 200 test records which i deleted to get the db ready for deployment. When i add a new record now the primary key on my "booking" table carries on from the old test number so 201.
Can I resest this so it starts back at #1 as once the db gets updated, the program i wrote then takes the data and updates the accounting system and uses the primary key as the invoice number and so I would like to start at 1.
Thanks in advance
Scott
How would I go about changing the primary key to a different field in a table? :o Thanks for any help!
View 2 Replies View Relatedhey guys. i have a field by the name of ISSUE. i am using this afterupdate event procedure
which is as follow:
Private Sub ISSUE_AfterUpdate()
If Not IsNull(ISSUE) Then
ISSUE = Format(ISSUE, "000000")
End If
End Sub
if a user enter like (23) in my ISSUE field my procedure will run and it will replace
the number by (000023) to make it a six digit. i wanted to create a primary key so then a user cannot enter the same number again
or cannot duplicate a record but i cannot because primary key cannot take a null value. Can you all tell me anything to add in my procedure so that once the number is entered like (23)
another user cannot enter (23) again in the record.
Thanks
