I've got an access file which was probably created with access 97 or 2000, and inside a query that I know for a fact works with SQL Server 7
I was upgrading to SQL Server 8 and I needed to modify that query because it didn't work with the new version.
Now, when I tried to save the query, it gave me a certain error about invalid JOIN statements.
The query I wrote runs perfectly when I try to execute it manually on the SQL server, but MS Access just won't allow me to save it!
Any ideas how I can make it save my new query without it trying to verify my SQL statement?
Oper sys is XP. Office 2000 version of Access. Extensive experience with Excel but very little with Access.
I'm creating an astronomical database that includes a function that calculates the distance to galaxies in millions of light years. These databases are massive. Total database has about 1.6 million galaxies (100 Meg). My query concerns about 500,000 of these.
Have the original database and done the query on the objects of interest. It includes the cacluations. All perfect.
Now, it is possible to save just the query so that I can copy it onto a CD and take to the observatory for field reference. Query has about 500,000 lines, one for each galaxy, but is only six columns wide. But at 500k lines it cannot be exported into Excel. Or at least I don't know how to do that.
I have spent a few days coding a database search page consisting of various comboboxes and textboxes. the user can select or enter data in these and when he/she clicks the search button an SQL select statement is generated on the fly and updates an existing query and this is used to query the database. I want to be able to give the user the option to save the query he/she generates and reuse it. How can I prompt him for a name and turn the SQL string strSQL that he has generated into a query and save it for later use?

Ive created a query that asks the user to enter data (month and year) before it can be processed. This is causing a problem for me as i need to produce a chart from this data and access isnt letting me (access doesnt like me asking the user to enter data). So i thought if the data could be stored in a table then the chart could be drawn from the table.is this possible.Below is a screengrab of the design view fro the query.
SELECT Shift.Shift_ID, Shift.Shift_Type, Sum(Main.Shift) AS SumOfShift, Format([Date],"mmmm") AS Expr3, Year([Date]) AS Expr4 FROM Shift INNER JOIN Main ON Shift.Shift_ID = Main.Shift WHERE (((Month([date]))=[Month]) AND ((Year([date]))=[Year])) GROUP BY Shift.Shift_ID, Shift.Shift_Type, Format([Date],"mmmm"), Year([Date]);
The uploaded database has two main forms. The first is used to enter customer data, the second runs from a query and shows all those records that have been completed in the first form (frmCustInfo - AgentLog = Yes) but not completed in the second form (frmControlsSource - AnalystLog = No)
Then more data is input into one of the subforms (frmControlChecks). Now in order for me to see the results of the queries connected to two other subforms I have to move off the record and back to it (for the record to be saved and then the queries run)
After moving back to the record, the query results on the right (Information Only) are manually added to the last subform 'Input Two', then the user would move on to the next record and do the same. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What I need it to do then is this: When the user tabs off the last field in the subform (frmControlChecks), the queries to the right (two subforms) would run, showing the results and also populating the last subform (frmAnalystInput)
The user would then click AnalystLog and move to the next record.
I hope this is possible without redoing the forms/queries because it's taken ages to get this far
I've also added info in this sample database and some working data if you want to take a look...thanks for any help
I have an simple Access 2001 database with one table in which I want to search multiple fields for entries which match upto four keywords using subqueries.I have entered the following sql code:
SELECT Components.[Component-type], Components.Value FROM (SELECT Components.[Component-type], Components.Value FROM (SELECT Components.[Component-type], Components.Value FROM (SELECT Components.[Component-type], Components.Value FROM Components
[code]....
and then refuses to save it giving the error: "Invalid bracketing of name 'SELECT Components.[Component-type"If I remove the changes it will save ok. This is only a test query as I will want to add many more fields and it is my first use of sql code.
I am new to Access and I have get to where the users can make selections in the listboxes, but then I need to save the selection in a query or table to save thier changes.
I am in the process of making a database and basically I have everything done but this saving, loading and adding/removing part.
Would it be possible for me to allow end-users to run queries that they could save, load, add to the existing table or remove from the existing table?
When I say Add/Remove what I mean is could a user of the database run a search of every customer in the state and then remove everyone in County X or on the other hand could they run a search of every customer in the state and then add every customer in a neighboring state.
Kinda like layers and again I have all of the criteria set up I just need the Save, Load and Add/Remove buttons on the form. I should add that I do not want users to save over the main table I want them to save it as there own text file they can upload later.
I am trying to create a table to show the parent/child relationships between assemblies, sub-assemblies and detail parts. The table I start with has 2 fields a "Part Number" and an "Indenture".
Please forgive all the periods, couldnt think of how else to seperate the values to depict the tables.
My problem is making it so that every part number has its own array, aka [family tree], so that for part "F" the table would hold "A,C,D,F"
I though an update query where for example: *"Zero" is a single field string.
IIF([00]<>null(), Save [00] to Zero, Write Zero to [00])
Would work but have been unable to find any information about passing a field value to a variable for later use or comparison. I would have already done this in excel if the table had less that 65000 records.
I have a form with a child that holds a query and for 99.9% of the time remains locked as it's for viewing data only. However, if the user wishes to make a change then they need to press an unlock button first then make the changes.
The problem I have is when closing the form; if this child's query has been unlocked I'm getting a message asking do I wish to save the changes to the layout of the child's query. The answer will always be "No".
I've added the following line of code to all sorts of procedures with no success.
I have a query that reports the number of students that are currently enrolled in a given number of schools within an area for that given day that the query is ran. This number can fluctuate greatly day to day, so is there a way to create a table which can hold this information so that I can go back in history and look up what our numbers were on whatever given day (date). (The example below is just a representation of what I actually have.) The School number would be unique, as would the date (I assume), I would like to see all of our school on whatever given date to see what our numbers are or were.
I have an example of the query currently I have set up in access 2007:
School # School Name Qty Date 001 BLUE 300 02/26/2014 002 RED 468 02/26/2014 003 YELLOW 10 02/26/2014
VS
School # School Name Qty Date 001 BLUE 310 02/27/2014 002 RED 400 02/27/2014 003 YELLOW 8 02/27/2014
I have a BE database, that when opened, opens a form for saving the results of a query to a text file on the desktop. It works fine, if the full path is entered.
The problem is, I want this saved on any users' desktop. I did some digging and found the %userprofile% variable, which when used, gives me the error.
I understand this should work in both Windows XP and Windows 7, which are the environments the full DB will operate in. So far the "EXPORT" button on the form has the following for the code:
Code: Private Sub BTN_Export_Click() DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, , "QRY_ExportPublicComment", "C:UsersMark N. McAllisterDesktopPubComExp.txt" End Sub
When I tried this:
Code: Private Sub BTN_Export_Click() Dim strPath As String strPath ="%userprofile%desktopPubComExp.txt" DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, , "QRY_ExportPublicComment", strPath End Sub
thought I was ok at access, obvously not. Think 'briefcase' has messed with my db a bit so started using a backup with ext .BAK. Want to save whole db as another name with ordinary extension. Will only let me SAVEAS on bits of db?
Sorry, I know this is a bit simple but that's about right for me.
Hi all, when the users are saving the form, i want to make sure they have filled in certain fields. On previous forms my code has worked, but for some reason on this form it won't, i usually put:
If tankID = "" Then MsgBox ("Please Enter the Tank ID") tankID.SetFocus End If
Can anyone explain why it may not be working, thank you
I have a table which brings together a number of bits of info from other tables.
Part of the form is acting weird; The user selects an 'applicant', and a 'class'. On the form these are both combo boxes, with info coming from two tables.
Some properties of the two fields: SELECT Classes.ClassCode, Classes.ClassName FROM Classes; Bound Column = 1
SELECT Applicants.ApplicantCode, Applicants.ApplicantName FROM Applicants; Bound Column = 1
Now, I want it to store the ID's of both (rather than the name). Both of these combos have the same properties; however when I look at the table, the applicants ID is being stored, but the class NAME is being stored in its field instead of ID>
Hope someone out there can help. I have a form (frmNewExceptionRepot) where the record source is a table (tblExceptionReport) there are a fair few controls on the form from this table and some controls that are based on queries etc
I have a cmd button - that takes the value of text boxes from a subform on this form and saves them to tblExceptionReport It also saves the record in general
This all works fine, however I am having a problem saving the value of a list box on the form (not subform) List156 to the table tblExceptionReport. The record source of the list box is a query that only ever produces one result, and its always the first row that needs to be updated to the table.
The data is displayed correctly when the form is loaded, but the value will only be saved if you click on the list box before the record is saved. I understand the theory behind this, as its a listbox an item need to be selected. However is there a way to tell it to select the first row of this list box as the value? I have tried various ways around this, but just can't figure it out. Should I be using a text box instread? I had thought about basing the form on a query that contains all the information, so this list box can actually be a text box, but then it makes the recordset not updateable...which means lots more code on the save - if this is the only way round then fair enough! Any ideas or help much appreciated!
I have highlighted in red the code currently in use to try and do this. (which works if you click on the list box before running the code.:confused:
Private Sub Command242_Click() 'save record DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70 'Save the current dates and informaiton to the new record DoCmd.RunSQL "Update tblExceptionReports set CurrentVRF = [Forms]![frmNEWExceptionReport]![frmExceptionReportStaticData]![LastVRF], CurrentLandingSlot = [Forms]![frmNEWExceptionReport]![frmExceptionReportStaticData]![LastLandingSlot], CurrentPlanComplete = [Forms]![frmNEWExceptionReport]![frmExceptionReportStaticData]![LastPlanComplete], CurrentReqtsSolWShop = [Forms]![frmNEWExceptionReport]![frmExceptionReportStaticData]![LastReqSolWS]," & _ "CurrentAlignmentReview = [Forms]![frmNEWExceptionReport]![frmExceptionReportStaticData]![LastAlignment], CurrentDSBBidPictureEvent = [Forms]![frmNEWExceptionReport]![frmExceptionReportStaticData]![LastDSBBigPic], CurrentCostBenefitEvent = [Forms]![frmNEWExceptionReport]![frmExceptionReportStaticData]![LastCostBenefitWShop], CurrentDSBDetailedEvent = [Forms]![frmNEWExceptionReport]![frmExceptionReportStaticData]![LastDSBDetail]," & _ "CurrentITExecutiveReview = [Forms]![frmNEWExceptionReport]![frmExceptionReportStaticData]![LastExecRev], CurrentITSupplierPropIssued = [Forms]![frmNEWExceptionReport]![frmExceptionReportStaticData]![LastITSuppPropIss], CurrentSellByDate = [Forms]![frmNEWExceptionReport]![frmExceptionReportStaticData]![LastSellByDate], CurrentViabilityReport = [Forms]![frmNEWExceptionReport]![frmExceptionReportStaticData]![LastViabilityReport]," & _ "CurrentProgramBoard = [Forms]![frmNEWExceptionReport]![frmExceptionReportStaticData]![LastProgramBoard], CurrentProposedImplementation = [Forms]![frmNEWExceptionReport]![frmExceptionReportStaticData]![Proposed_Implementatation_Date], OverallRAG = [Forms]![frmNEWExceptionReport]![List156], CurrentSpendBudget = [Forms]![frmNEWExceptionReport]![List240]" & _ "WHERE tblExceptionReports.ExceptionReportID = [forms]![frmNEWExceptionReport]![ExceptionReportID]"
I'm trying to create a database for a taxi-type service that runs on thursday, friday and saturday nights. My question is: Is there a way to save the database at the end of the night separate from the previous nights, and so that the database is empty for the next night, but reports can be viewed for all of the nights combined?
I have a annoying problem. Since yesterday whenever i make changes to anything in my database, it doesn't ask me if i want to save the changes, it just does it automatically. It is annoying, as sometimes i am testing things, say on a query and if it doesn't work, i just go out of it and don't save the changes and have my original version.
I have another Access database and this works fine, with the pop up message asking if i want to save the changes or not.
Can anyone help, or point me in the right direction, thanks.
I seem to be having problems saving my database files (.MDB) as .MDE files.
I have a database that only contains data (tables).
A second database is used as the interface to this data (it contains forms, reports, and uses linked tables to the data database).
This secong database file is then copied and used my a few users, so that everyone is accessing the same set of data.
I am trying to save the second database as an .MDE file, but under the Tools, Database Utilities option... 'save Database as an MDE' is never highlighted as a viable option. Is there some trick (or conditions) to enable this option?
I am basically doing this so that I can distribute the MDE version of the interface so that users will have limited / no access to be able to modify the code (or get into the table?).
Thank you for any advice or directions you may be able to pass on.
I'm new at access but getting the swing of it. It is a pretty cool toy.
I have a table that I am adding various columns of data. Once added I move the columns to where I want them to be. I am hitting the little save disk on the top toolbar but when I reopen the file the columns are not where I placed them. I'm not sure why this is happening. Any thoughts?
Have a bit of an odd problem with the DB im using at work. I have 1 DB on a shared drive that is accessed by 4 of us from our desktop PC's (password protected via 1 password that we all use - no separate logins).
The problem comes that we make changes to the data, exit via an exit button that uses a save all macro (that all works fine), however when we go back into to DB there are some times that the changes made have been lost and the data has reverted back to the previous version. There doesn't seem to be any specific pattern to this, it happens at random times and to random people.
Does anyone know what may be causing this, or anyway that i can prevent it happening?
Hi, I have been tasked to create a database that will be accessed through a dial-up connection to our server. What I want to know is which is faster 1 Using a seperate table for dropdowns or 2 Using the lookup facility of a table. cheers
I have a main form where the user can click on a button that opens another form. In this form, the user can make selections from one listbox and they are copied to another listbox. How can I save the contents of the listbox into a field that is part of the record on the main form? Can this be done? I have a listbox on the main form where the selected items will be displayed and each record of the main form will have different values for the listbox.
