I would appreciate any tips as to how I can archive records where the yes no field named "Resolved" is ticked. These records may need to be retrieved (as opposed to deleted). Any deletion would be made at some time later as part of a manual database maintenance process. Unfortuantely the database is 200 Kb larger than permitted to upload however, I can forward a zipped copy if required. Kind regards. Bernard

any ideas, as some will know i'm a newbie
I have been trying to figure out how to do this and the transferdatabase function wouldn't do what I needed. I have a table that has a bunch of records, each being a request for cad work somebody wants me to do. I change the status of each one to pending, working, or complete. Anyway I want to only keep the completed task records in the database for 90 days. After that the records will be exported to an archive database and purged from the working database. The problem I face is not getting the records I need “I used date stamps ;)” but getting the records I filtered to append the archive database table and not overwrite it. I made backups ;) of my db and am testing on those and cant figure this out. Below is the code I used to export. Like I said it overides the table rather than append...
DoCmd.TransferDatabase acExport, "Microsoft Access", _
"X:Archive.mdb", acTable, "tRequest", _
"tRequest"
MsgBox "its done"
Any ideas, pointers, stern words and a link to a post I missed, anything to help is appreciated. :o
Thanks,

I have a single table database for inventory. Every 3 months or so, some records get changed or updated. My manager wants to keep an archive of all of the records that have been changed so we can go back and look at an history of all of the records. So, My thought is to create an "Archive" table, appended all of the current records to it. Then, when changes are made, create an Append Query, or what ever works, to copy just the changed records from the Main to the Archive table. There are only 200 items in the inventory so it is not a large database.

I am using the example database to avoid storing pictures in my database, as the size could grow and make the backend slow down.
The only thing with it is, the image quality isnt that great. Is there a way to sharpen it up?
Evening All! (Old enough to remember Dixon of Dock Green (stupid enough to mention it!))
I'm working on a small database for a small team of support workers with a
client base of 60 clients at anyone time, although the turnover is quite
substantial.
I have done some searches on archiving records but am concerned that once
archived a record would be difficult to re-integrate in to the live database,
particularly if there have been changes to it?
I have considered that I may be just as well slapping a big label over every
record that has a date in the [CloseDate] field and if a closed case is
re-opened, the closed date is removed and the label disappears.
I'm still open to being convinced that the archiving is the way to go, but
in the mean time I hope someone will be able to help with the expression
needed in the form on_current procedure to make the label visible. If it was
just a tick box I'd be flying by now, but I can't get my head around getting
a populated [CloseDate] field to initiate the CloseRecordLabel.
Thanks in advance

I'm attempting to normalize an enormous table with order data, but I'm running into some problems. The table currently contains many duplicates, of which also included the actual order information (yikes!), but I managed to normalize it almost all the way down. It appears that different accounts can be used on orders, and these order numbers are being recycled for some reason months down the line (don't ask my why they're reusing them for future orders because I have no idea either, they should be creating new order numbers). Of course, the Order number is the primary key in my table as it should be. I guess the same thing can occur with the sales rep. Anyway, I'm struggling to find the "best practice way" to deal with this situation. I'm almost tempted to create an intermediary "transaction table" or something like that between the main general order information (which at this point will basically be the Order Number and Customer ID only), then include a table with the account information and sales rep info, then have that link to the Order Detail with the products, quantity, order number and various dates for those order numbers. Order maybe it should be a separate, related table, but not between the general order information and the order details? Can anyone tell me if I'm on the right track for this situation? It was a total curveball that the rep and account information could be different on these orders.
Option 1:
Order (Order #, Customer) -> Transaction Information (Order #, Account Type, Sales Person) -> Order Details (dates, products, quantities, etc)
Option 2:
Order (Order #, Customer)---> Transaction Information (Order #, Account
| Type, Sales Person)
|
|-> Order Details (dates, products, quantities, etc)
I am designing queries to return averages for quality test data.
I have this query that functions as I want it too [URL] .....
It returns the averages of all the values received for different tests for a lot number (the lot number criteria should be filled out as well)
When I want the query to be more specific and average only certain box numbers in the lot (that start with the prefix PB") the query does not return an average for box numbers starting with PB but splits them up, showing an average for PB1, PB2 instead of combining the data for those boxes into a single unified average ...

I am creating a database for call quality monitoring. Just when I thought everything was working perfectly, I get an error saying the record set can't be updated. I can't find anything useful about it online either.
Here is my database:
I have a table which is essentially an template for call quality. each record has a primary key ID number. I also have a table for staff and their teams which is linked to the other table.
I have a form where you can select the staff member, and there is a tab control where the second tab has their quality results via a sub form. I have made the primary key a hyperlink so when clicked it brings up the quality form of the original record. however it can't be updated and gives me the message saying record set can't be updated.
I want the user to be able to click the hyperlink, bring up the record and edit where required.
Is this even possible?
I have our primary web based inventory system that I am exporting to Excel and using this as an import to Access for the main raw data for my database. This being inventory it changes daily so I am updating this table every day. When I try to append the table it ads all the records. I am wanting an easy way to add only the new records/take out the ones that are no longer there. Basically update the table with what is currently there.The only have I have found to do this is by running non-matching queries and update queries.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI work for an airline, and we use an Access Database to track all baggage claims. The file is getting pretty large, so we want to remove the closed claims from the main table. Is it better to append the closed claims to a new table, or would it be better to export the closed files to an Excel document?
If I choose the option to Append to a new table, can this be done to a second database or just create an additional table in the existing file?
Any help that you can give, I'd greatly appreciate.
thanks!
I have a form with names and addresses on it that gets its information from a querry. On the form tis a button that operates a tick box to Arcive a record. I also have a list box that finds a record on my database when I click on the name.
My problem is that even though I archive the record and the persons details dont appear, the name still appears in the list box. How can I remove/hide the name from the list box as well. I tried a requery but it didnt work?
Here is a question I have been hammering away at for a while but have not come up with an answer yet.
I am trying to come up with a way to make a digital archive in addition to the access database that i have been working on. Right now I have records for customers and all of their reservations, as this is a travel agency. I would like to be able to save all emails, pdf receipts, and any other applicable files that may pertain to that customer and/or on one level lower, their reservation.
Yes, I have heard of the attachment option in Access 2007, but I am getting mixed feelings about using that to solve this problem. One reason is because I have heard that this can make a database absolutely huge very quickly. (One question I have about that is whether or not that large size ends up slowing down the database or not?) My other concern is that after creating everything I would really like to integrate the database into SQL Server and only use access as the front end for forms and reports. And SQL Server 2005 does not work with access's new handy attachment feature in 2007.
This must be a common need with various businesses, so maybe you all have a few ideas out there. I would love to hear them!!! I am open to anything that solves this problem. Thanks for taking the time to read this and help me out.

Hi, we have a database for keeping record of our games (unreal tournament games).... Its just a simple database and we enter our results based on the following fields: -
Opponent:
Game Type:
Players:
Maps:
Date:
Result:
the file has started to get quite big and wondered if it would be possible to automatically move entries say that were older than a month old to a new table, or archive table. Im not a big access genious so i hope i have explained enough for you to understand what im trying to do here.
Thank you for your time, much appreciated.
How can I remove (delete) a page from a table (the entire row that has that specific data) and have it go into an archive? I don't want to completely delete the information, but I don't want to have it in my current table and have to have all kinds of filters and other criteria to view in my queries and reports.

My database is to have a Personnel data area whereby I can store all relevant details for employees within the company.
I plan to incorporate a feature whereby I can alos maintain a history of documentation written and issued including links to the actual documents for that employee during their time with the company.
Has anyone done a similar thing they would be willing to allow me to use?
I figure this would contain links to work documents stored on the hard drive in a specific folder. Selection of a specific item from a historical list - would invoike Word /similar and display the appropriate file...
Any ideas would be gratefully received.
Thank you.
I have a Database in which I would like to archive data once it is now longer actively being used. I have VBA code that does everything i need it to, however I would like to name the new archive table related to the dates in the data being archived. Below is the code I am using to archive and delete the information from the main table.
Code:
Dim strSQLCreate As String
Dim strSQLDelete As String
Dim strArchiveTableName As String
[Code].....
I know it will be in the "strArchiveTableName" variable, I am just not sure how to pull the dates out of the data being moved. The TestData table holds a date and time for each test, and the earliest and latest dates is what i want to append to the table name.
For example: Currently "tblTestData_A102Archive"What I want "tblTestData_A102_1/1/2012-1/1/2013"
I need to produce a query that will show only one File and location even though there are multiple records contained within that File. To clarify,
In each individual record I have Id_No, Surname, File_Name, DOB, Location.
I need to shred the file once the person is over 25 years old, but some File_Name have different people with different dates of birth. I would like to display the File_Name only if all of other records in that File_Name are over 25 years. I have attached a picture of the query which I use to find the over 25's
I get the 'this is read only you will not be able to make changes, etc..
whe I open my database. How do i fix it? No one else is in making changes.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI need to archive some data in a table with a checkbox on a form. I have tenants table & property tables. Sometimes tenants move out & new move in but i don't want to delete information from old tenant. But i can't have duplicate property id's assigned to different tenants.
So I made a checkbox on the tenants form that sets the tenant to active or inactive with a status column in the tenant table. how do i delete only the property ID so i don't have duplicates when the new tenant moves in?
In the case of a system that keeps track of checking in and out (e.g. library books), where is the archive data stored? If a person makes 30 trips to the library, obviously one record will be the current visit - but where do you keep the 29 other visits?
Do you create a separate table for old check-outs: Current_Check_Out and Archive_Check_Out?
Or do you just leave the data in place and as-is: All_Check_Outs?
I have a list of archive folders with unquie IDs and images files which have a version history.
I need to remove the history and just keep the latest archive version set of files. It seems an append query would be best but just can't think the best way todo it.
Table Example:
Archive: Folder: User: SubFolder: Filename:
01 TA05420010125-01 8769091 WAG 20010125-01.tif
01 TA05420010125-01 8769091 TIM 20010125-02.tif
02 TA05420110324-01 8769091 WAG 20110324-01.tif
02 TA05420110324-01 8769091 TIM 2011032402.tif
02 TA05420110324-01 8769091 PD 20110324-02.tif
03 TA05420150114-01 8769091 VYE 20010125-01.tif
03 TA05420150114-01 8769091 DFU 20010125-02.tif
In the above example I only want to keep user 8769091 latest filename info from archive 3 and exclude the rest. I need todo this for over 3000 users who could have multiple versions.
