Queries Using Tables W/o Links
Feb 20, 2008
I have a query where I am trying to set the where criteria expression using an unlinked table. The unlinked table name is INV DATES. The criteria field is [THE_DATE]. I cannot really link the fields for the two tables since I am using an expression. This design works, but it goes really slow.
Any ideas?
SELECT DISTINCT DSSAPP_FULL_WIP_PROD_STATS.LOT_NUMBER, DSSAPP_FULL_WIP_PROD_STATS.OPERATION, DSSAPP_FULL_WIP_PROD_STATS.OPERATION_START_TIME, DSSAPP_FULL_WIP_PROD_STATS.OPERATION_END_TIME, DSSAPP_FULL_WIP_PROD_STATS.CURRENT_QUANTITY AS QUANTITY, DSSAPP_FULL_WIP_PROD_STATS.CURRENT_QUANTITY_TIME AS [DATE], DSSAPP_FULL_WIP_PROD_STATS.LOT_HOLD_FLAG, DSSAPP_FULL_WIP_PROD_STATS.ACTIVE_FLAG, [INV DATES].THE_DATE, [INV DATES].WEEK_NUMBER_IN_YEAR, [INV DATES].MONTH_NUMBER_IN_YEAR INTO ROXES
FROM DSSAPP_FULL_WIP_PROD_STATS, [INV DATES]
WHERE (((DSSAPP_FULL_WIP_PROD_STATS.LOT_NUMBER) Like "R1*" Or (DSSAPP_FULL_WIP_PROD_STATS.LOT_NUMBER) Like "R2*" Or (DSSAPP_FULL_WIP_PROD_STATS.LOT_NUMBER) Like "R4*" Or (DSSAPP_FULL_WIP_PROD_STATS.LOT_NUMBER) Like "R5*" Or (DSSAPP_FULL_WIP_PROD_STATS.LOT_NUMBER) Like "RR" Or (DSSAPP_FULL_WIP_PROD_STATS.LOT_NUMBER) Like "B0*" Or (DSSAPP_FULL_WIP_PROD_STATS.LOT_NUMBER) Like "B1*" Or (DSSAPP_FULL_WIP_PROD_STATS.LOT_NUMBER) Like "B2*" Or (DSSAPP_FULL_WIP_PROD_STATS.LOT_NUMBER) Like "B5*" Or (DSSAPP_FULL_WIP_PROD_STATS.LOT_NUMBER) Like "B4*") AND ((DSSAPP_FULL_WIP_PROD_STATS.OPERATION_START_TIME)<=[INV DATES]![THE_DATE]) AND ((DSSAPP_FULL_WIP_PROD_STATS.OPERATION_END_TIME)>[INV DATES]![THE_DATE] Or (DSSAPP_FULL_WIP_PROD_STATS.OPERATION_END_TIME) Is Null) AND ((DSSAPP_FULL_WIP_PROD_STATS.CURRENT_QUANTITY_TIME )>=Now()-600) AND ((DSSAPP_FULL_WIP_PROD_STATS.FACILITY)="STPPRD" Or (DSSAPP_FULL_WIP_PROD_STATS.FACILITY)="EPIPRD"))

I was recently doing a little Spring Cleaning in my database and deleting old tables and queries that were no longer used or had been for experimental purposes. Unfortunately, I unknowingly deleted a query that was being used by a report I still needed and it took me several hours to find and correct the problem.
Not wanting to repeat this mistake, I began searching for a way to display my reports, queries, and tables and all the objects each is linked to. I thought it would be nice, for instance, to have a hard copy list of all my queries that showed where they are derived from and what other objects reference them. Is there a way to do this?
I've tried using the "Relationships" button and working with the Documenter, but I haven't found what I'm looking for. I have also tried a Google search, but, admittedly, I may not be using the proper terminology to get good results.
Thanks for your time.

I have a PATIENT TABLE with PAT_ID Autonumber / Primary Key.I want to set up an Invoice and a Receipt. I know the fields I need. how many tables I should create and how they should be linked PROPERLY.
INVOICE TABLE would contain (field names and data type):
Invoice_ID Autonumber / Primary Key
PAT_ID Number (as the link to the Patient Table)
Invoice_Date Date/Time
Invoice_ Contact Text
Invoice_SentDate Date/Time
Invoice_Paid Date/Time
Invoice_Comments Memo (not to be printed on invoice just info for me)
[code]...
Note: The rest of the fields needed on the receipt are in the Patient table (i.e. services rendered to). For the receipt, the description of the service(s) will be limited to a standard text that will be set in a label on the report.

I have recently learned how to link photos to a database using a form and a table listing the path to each photo. Is there anyway to format the records in the table so that when you click on the path the photo shows up?
I have browsed around past threads and have not found and answer.
Thanks

Hi all.
As i'm still what can be called a "newbie" in MS Access, maybe one of you wizards
can help me out with this.
I'm having a product table in ms access, containing a few columns. The regular stuff (type, ID, ..).
It also contains a column i want to store the links to their documentation to, called "download'.
The fields of that table are loaded into a data access page.
Now the data access page is loaded into the frame of an HTML page. Everything works well, but when it
comes to the download-field, i get no link, but a piece of code instead.
Now these links are relative links (not absolute ones). What i'm searching for (for quiete some time now), is a way to make the links show as normal links.
Is there anyone who could give me a hint or who can help me out with this?
Thank you very much in advance,
Kind regards

Hi,
I'm buliding an access system in which the forms and tables stored in seperate databases as such:
forms: \serverdirmyDatabase.mdb
tables: \serverdirdatamyTables.mdb
myDatabase has a load of linked tables from myTables. Problem; my network drives are mapped differently from the users, so the links do not work for me.
So - does anyone know how I can set up a relative link, so myDatabase looks for datamyTables? i.e. it looks from the source directory rather than checking the whole path back to the root?
Hope this is making sense . . .
Dave

Once external tables have been linked to a database can the links ever get dropped accidentally.
ie should I test for missing links and recreate them programatically or assume that it will never happen?
It is easy enough to identify links which are present but any code which loops through the tabledefs will only identify links which are present.
I think the best approach, if this is necessary, would be to count the number of external links, compare the answer to what it should be, and refresh all the links if theree is a difference.

I have heaps of Linked Tables and the main data bases are in My Documents.
My Documents is also the shared name but I need to change it to MyDocuments as the space fouls up some other stuff.
I have a feeling I will need to delete all the linked tables and do it again.:D

I have an application in MS Access that contains some forms and reports. I want to be able to show pictures on the forms. So I am saving images on file system and storing links to those images in MS Access tables so that they can be retrieved and be shown on the forms. Can someone throw light on the effects of this approach on performance of the application (especially vis-a-vis the approach of storing images in the Access tables as OLE objects)?
Would appreciate if responses can be directed to my email-id Satya_Nadiminti@infosys.com
Thanks,

I have a club member registration application consisting of a program database and a data database. They reside in the same directory. There is an autoexec macro which runs at the beginning. This macro has to find the DATAdb and make sure that the required tables are linked (Not all tables). If it cannot find the DATAdb and then has to make a call to the user to use a different procedure.
Now to find the DATAdb I have used the following code that works. The function GetPathAndName parses the string db.name and outputs the path and name of the PROGdb. Up to here no problems.
Code:
GetPathAndName db.Name, FrontPath, dName
Then I use the following code to get the fullpath of the last database used and thereby find the path and name of the last DATAdb. The path of PROGdb is used in place of the existing path of DATAdb to check whether the file exists.
Code:
Dim rs As Recordset, cPath As String, cName As String
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT Database, Type " & _
"FROM MSysObjects " & _
"WHERE ((MsysObjects.Type) = 6) AND ((MsysObjects.Name) = 'MembersTbl') " & _
"ORDER BY MsysObjects.DateUpdate DESC;")
[Code] .....
As the final step I use the table definitions to refresh links that already exist and connect tables that are not linked The code is below. But I can not get it to work. It links 7 tables instead of 16 and when tested in different folder says invalid operation and so on. There is fundamental error some place but I could not figure it out.
Code:
On Error GoTo Error_Linking
Debug.Print "TableDefs.Count="; db.TableDefs.Count
For I = 0 To db.TableDefs.Count - 1
Debug.Print "TableDefs("; I; ").Connect="; db.TableDefs(I).Connect
Debug.Print "TableDefs("; I; ").Name="; db.TableDefs(I).Name
[Code] .....

I searched and couldn't find anything on this specific issue.
I'm on the verge of designing a pretty big database and I've run into what may become a bit of a problem. There will probably be several backends in different locations. Should another backend ever be created or if the location for one changes, the user can use a form to refresh the links to the tables on that specific database.
The way I've done this so far is by having a piece of code that checks the tables for a connection string. If the table has a connection string, its a linked table, so the link gets deleted and replaced with the new link. Well this will no long work since there will be several backends and only 1 of them may need its tables relinked and using that code will delete all the table links, including the good ones.
Is there a way to make 'DoCmd.TransferDatabase' overwrite table names instead of giving the duplicate tables a number suffix? I think that doing this would be easier than retrieving the table names from the new backend and comparing them with the linked table names in the frontend so the old links could then be deleted.

I found 2 examples of code to refresh my attached table link to sharepoint lists.
I have a scheduled task open my Access 2010 db and an autoexec macro runs and closes the db.
My problem is my tables disconnect from sharepoint 2010 and the update fails.
I added the code I found to a module and added a line in my macro to run the code. Now I cannot get the code to work.
Am I at least on the right track? I just want to know before I spend many hours getting this code to work.
These are the two locations of code I found.
[URL]
I think part of my problem is that I have a regular table that I add a txt file to that is not linked to sharepoint so I need to exclude it from the code.

Is there a way to just select like through a find dialog box, the location of a databases backend location and just automatically create all the links for the link tables...
The reason Im asking, is my boss wants the database to be on his laptop in the event that the network is down, and also so that he can work away from the company's location but I was showing him the implications of having it installed locally on his machine should his laptop go down....
So now I'm wondering if i could
1. do some automation that allows him to just choose the location of the databases backend that he would be working from, be it on the network or on his machine
and
2. using both backends to update or overwrite each other depending on which he was working from or did updates to..
Really would love all the help and input I can get on this... Im willing to work on developing a sample for this if nothing is exactly already out there so that it can be reposted cause i think this would be very useful to everyone's database applications.

I have a client who needs a Database created in Access for him. he would like to regularly auto-populate this Access DB from an Excel file - like twice a week.In addition, he wants me to create Forms, Queries, reports and Macros for him in the Access, which will have 2 Tables from Excel files and about 3 Tables created in Access.I figured that I could do that if I gave him a link to the Tables he needed from the Excel file(s). But how do I work remotely for him- the path to those files is on his computer. I can load them to mine, but then he can't open the files.How can I create Forms etc. in an Access DB which uses links from source files as its Tables?

sorry if thi9s is the wrong place but I thought I would try somewhere.
I would like to create links to table trough an odbc link.
whta I have is an estimation programme that creates 4 tables in a directory/folder each time you create a new estimate I have an odbc link that points to the given folder where the tables are being created. What I would like to do is to search this folder and link specific tables to my database which is a contract control programme. the tabels are given unique name for each estimate example names are: 0001_assembly, 0001_data, 0001_increment, 0001_system
so to sum up is it possible to create a lnk to these tables on the fly. any one got any ideas and possible codes samples for doing this.
Thanks

Hi all,
I've got two vast tables of data which I need to link, however the field unique to each was, at it's source, a typed field, and as such both have errors, typos, formatting problems, known deviations etc.
An example would be something like this:
Table1: SFOC0912JB3
Table2: F0CO9I2JB3
(These are harware serial numbers for what it's worth). I could do with creating a link between the two tables which would return a true based on a number of possibilities, such as:
Match if:
- String matches with prepended 'S', 'C' and/or
- String matches with substituted 'I' and '1' in any or all positions and/or
- String matches with substituted 'O' and '0' and/or
etc.
I think Levenshtein had the right answer from what I've been reading, but I haven't yet found an implementation for access (freely) available.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Alex

This may seem like a silly question, but I can’t find the answer to it on this forum. People only say 'Remove the table links' but never how. I can’t seem to be able to remove the table links completely, so I only have one database file (no backend or frontend). I can’t seem to do it though the Table link manager or any other way. Any help?
Thanks in advance

I have an existing database using access 2002 which has been split. In the part containing the data (back end I think its called) there are 3 existing tables which are clearly linked from the front end (forms queries etc.). If I now try to add another table in the back end it is not shown in the list when trying to create a link from the front end.
Anyone got the answer

i have 2 mdb and both mdb have table link
in one of the mdb , they had a link to dbf (paradox) and they have lot of queries and reports created.
Now the functionality has changed so we have created a access table and need to replace the dbf with the table.
The problem is we need to retain all the queries and reports as such but the table will be access table instead of dbf.
Example
First.mdb has test table
Second.mdb has a table called old.dbf. and associated quries
but now test table is been linked to second.mdb and we got to rename or delete old.dbf and associated all queries and reports pointing to test table
is there a way to do it automatically or should it be done manually?
Please let me know as it is urgent

I working on a Project in which I have a table that is being updated from the values in another table. The problem that the table is deleted and rebuilt in code before the Query is executed. Access is so smart, it drops the links between the tables when the table is deleted even if the query isn't open.
To get around this, I recreate the SQL in Code for the Named Query involved just before I execute it. This works OK but probably creates bloat and is a little slower.
Is there a better way around this problem other than recreating the SQL for the Update Query each time?
Thanks for all meaningful suggestions. :cool:

Dear all, imagine a table named "Database" with fields
Par1, Par2, ... ParN, Amount,
where most of the parameters in Par1,...ParN are in text format.
The structure of another table, "Criteria", is exactly like "Database" less "Amount" field.
Suppose we want to summarise "Amounts" from "Database" according to the sets of "Criteria", for each of its records. A set does not always include all of the fields, e.g. an empty field (or sort of wildcard) may mean that any value fits.
It seems like classical application of DSum function, but I've already spent a lot of time in desperate attempts to solve this problem and will highly appreciate your suggestions.

I wonder if you can help. I am trying to make a combo box with peoples ID numbers in which links to a table with that persons details. I have made the combo box with the names in but now trying to link the table to it.
For example: Fred is in the combo box with ID number 1 and the user selects him and wants to see his details about him after clicking continue. The form has autonumber 1 showing Fred's details after clcking this.
Any help

Hi,
We've got an old database consisting of just an MDE file and its point to the UNC path of a server we need to decommission. Is there anyway I can amend the Links to an external mdb so it points to either the new server or folder?
Thanks.
