I have built a fairly large access database (office 2003) and unfortunately I was a bit careless about naming my controls and macros. I would like to go back over all of my form controls and macros so that they have more descriptive names, but I'm afraid this will break alot of dependencies. How can I have the macros autoupdate to compensate for renamed controls and vice versa?
View RepliesHi,
In Access 2003 when you rename a table any queries that the table is in will be renamed aswell, which is usually very useful.
However, is there a way to turn this property off, because I am trying to run over a hundred of the same query that use different tables? In Access 2000 I renamed the tables and used the same query, because it is much quicker, but I have just noticed that the data I am extracting is inaccurate, because when I undo the rename, the table names change in the query.
I will be very grateful for any help.
All the best,
Roly
I have table with lot of fields, I would like to rename those fields, how do I do that using code or a query?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi all,
This is a strange one. I have a VERY simple query that runs directly off a single table which contains about 7 fields and one PK. I am pulling through 4 columns from this table including the primary key. I am renaming the columns using the format "NewName: Record_Id" format. I have also tried changing the caption on the query column properties.
Basically, the problem is that I save and close the working query but when I either close the database down or make a change to another form or query, the column names all get changed to a single value of the table, currently "Report Title". When the query is run, all the columns are shown with the same header name and the data results are all the same.
I have checked my relationships and they are fine and I have also done a compact/repair but without any luck. Can anyone please help me?
Thank you.

Hellow,
Little question, hopefully not a big answer :)
i have four oracle db'ses mydb_db_test, mydb_db_production, mydb_db_develop
within access i have linked tables from the first one; let's say: mydb_db_test.tblOne, mydb_db_test.tblTwo
What i want to do is:
1) import the same tables from the other trhee db'ses
2) rename the table names by vba code
example: my_db_db_test.tblOne has to become tblOne
and when i switch from db (to for example the production), the tblOne has to be renamed originally (mydb_db_test.tblOne) and the other has to be renamed (so mydb_db_production.tblOne becomes tblOne).
Now the question which you probably ask me:
Why not by a connection string change...
Well, that's the problem, the linked tables are being set to readonly, and the property cannot be changed (at least, as far as i tried); so that's why i thought of this workaround. By linking all three databases, i also always have for those table the three connection strings, and by renaming them (i now do this manually) i always can pick the right connection.
Thanks in advance for the advise!

I am developing code to trawl through the tables in a large number of databases that I am working on for a client and rename tables that have spaces in the name.
I tried using the following but get a 7874 error when the new table cannot be found.
DoCmd.Rename strExistingName, acTable, strNewName
I then tried copying the table using the following but get the same error message.
DoCmd.CopyObject, strExistingName, acTable, strNewName
What I need to do to rename a table with spaces in it?
I want to automate a find and replace process to standardize names in a table, using the value from one table to replace another. The code I have is not quite working.
Background:
- Table [Checking] field [Description] has the source text field that I like to change/standardize
- Table [Rename] field [Description] has the text string used to search the [Checking].[Description] values. The search should contain wildcard logic so e.g. a [Rename].[Description] value of "Mobil" would find a [Checking].[Description] value of "Mobil 123", or "Mobil 234", or "Mobil123456 AB".
- Table [Rename] field [NewDescription] is the new value used. If [NewDescription] = "Mobilx", then the "Mobil 123", or "Mobil 234", or "Mobil123456 AB" would all be changed to "Mobilx".
I have the following code which partially works:
UPDATE checking, rename SET [Checking].[Description] = [Rename].[NewDescription]
WHERE ((([Checking].[Description]) like "*" & [Rename].[Description] &"*") );
Problem is the original [Checking].[Description] value is not deleted in full so the replacement [Checking].[NewDescription] value is not correct.
e.g. "Mobil12345 AB" might be changed to "Mobilx AB" instead of "Mobilx" (some of the original string remains).
I have a cross tab query which give result like this
Date No. BoxItem1 BoxItem2 Item1 Item2
1-2-12 1 15 15 10 15
1-2-12 2 10 10
1-2-12 1 15 15
1-2-12 1 10 5 5 1
I need to BoxItem1 come after item1 and also col heading only box.Is it possible or not?
All, using access 2010. I have some code to rename a table in my database. Partial Code:
Code:
TableDefs("tblMstr").Name = "tblMstr" & Format(Date, "yyyymmdd")
This works but how do I use "datecreated" to get the creation date of the table and format it. I tried to use DateCreated in place of Date but get errors such as variable not defined or .datecreated without a with block.The result I'm going for is something like "tblMstr20140603".
I am in the process of developing a pivot table with grouping per month per year which works just fine. However, I would like to rename the column header items. It will not allow me.
The scenario:
the data is from a query that deprives data from two tables (Date from Table A) and (TypeID from Table B: Query will show TypeID in text format based on SELECT to show data in text format not numeric format).
The struggle:
Renaming the column headers which shows the TypeID in numbers based on its ID (the first column of Table B), not its Description (the second column of the Table B).
The question:
How do I make the column headers to show the TypeID in text based on its Description in the second column of the Table B?
Code to rename photos (Access 2010). The new name (full path) is listed on a table (although I would love to accomplish the task from the list query that I later used to generate the table). There is one field in the table (or query) called OldPath and one field called NewPath. The table name is RenPaths. Both paths are located in the same drive. I want to rename the file in a new folder. I created the new folder which is contained in the NewPath.
I was trying to accomplish this using the Name function
Name OldPath as NewPath
Here is the full code:
Private Sub Command0_Click()
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim OldPath As String
Dim NewPath As String
OldPath = "Select OldPath From RenPaths"
[Code] ....
Here is an example of the paths in my table:
Old Path is - C:UserskcrespoDocumentsFulcrum to MACPFulcrum_Export_a97dee97-ba92-455e-9d5c-3b35617ad357SAA Inspection Form367e14e0-439b-4a50-99e1-9154bcc9e3f7.jpg
New Path is - C:UserskcrespoDocumentsFulcrum to MACPFulcrum_Export_a97dee97-ba92-455e-9d5c-3b35617ad357SAA Inspection FormimageswwMH51856_A3f7.jpg
Im getting an error: Run time error '53': File not found
I checked the OldPath and everything is correct so if the code is working correctly it should have found the file.
I haven't used FSO before, and it seems that the syntax is a little different than typical VBA for strings, but I can't quite figure out what I'm doing wrong here... I keep getting a "file not found" error on the "FSO.CopyFile..." line. I have printed all of my strings to the immediate window to check that they're printing correctly. It all looks good. My code is as follows:
'Copy file
'Set up strings for coding file names
Dim FilePath As String
FilePath = Me.txt_FilePath
Dim FileName As String
FileName = Me.txt_FileName
[Code] ....
I have a database that is saved as an accdr so it can be compiled for distribution as an exe..I have just found the accdr the exe installed and renamed to accrb and was then able to open it and view all the tables, forms etc.Obviously I cant stop someone renaming but if there was a way to stop the forms, tables etc opening.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI understand the principle of renaming the above of using the navigation pane and selecting the object but what is happening in my case is that when I select the specific table/query I wish to rename, the text is highlighted as per normal but the instant I move the cursor onto that cell that whole panel highlights in red and then reverts back to the original state of just the text in that panel (now highlighted).
I do not know if this is related to the problem but I have a text box with the "code" =Count([tblEntries].[CageNo]).
This was working perfectly okay but both this and the renaming appeared to happen about the same time. I have opened other Access files and the same re the renaming occurs. I have secure security running and do not think this could be the problem but anything is possible.
hI,
I have a form which has several checkboxes and several textboxes and a command button. the user selects some checkboxes inside the form. when he clicks the command button, i need to run the select query. the select query would be like "select col1,col2,col3 from tablename where check1 = (checkbox1 value) and check2 = (checkbox2 value) and check1 = (checkbox1 value) and so on. ". i have tried this query using VBA. it is working fine. the problem is i have run another query which is very long in characters(like 15 lines involving self join). when i tried to run this query inside VBA i am not able store the query inside a string. Is there a way to come around this problem? I think it would be easy if i can use macros to build this query. please suggest me the ways to do this.
Thanks,
Sridhar!!
I inherited this database where there is very little code, most of the commands are in macros. I know nothing about macros. I am having a problem with the database. Some of the records are not printing when I print the schedule(this is a scheduling database with dates and job quantities). There is a display checkbox that gets checked when we want a job printed on the schedule. Sometimes it will not print it if we do not have a date for when the files are due or when material is due, so if we put those dates in they will show up on the schedule. Lately though I can't even get it to print some of the jobs if I put in the date when the files and materials are due and when they come in. They just don't want to show up. If anyone could help, I would greatly appreciate it!! Thank you

PS I am working on getting db small enough to paste. Don't know how else to make it so you can see db.
I am trying to invoke a microsoft Word recorded macro ("Macro1") in the microsoft Access VB code. I am trying to do this after I open the Word application and the file. This is my code so far:
Dim objword As Object
Set objword = CreateObject("Word.Application") '
objword.Visible = True
objword.Documents.Open ("I:FIRST DRAW CHECKLIST.doc")
objword.Run Macro1
The bolded line is the one supposed to tell word to play the recorded macro but after it opens the document, Access gives me a message that says it can't run the macro. Can anyone tell me the correct syntax that will help my code work?
When you need to run a series of Queries.
And they must be sequential.
Is it better to use a Macro or VBA to call the queries?
Thanks Everyone.

I've got a project where an existing access db is being converted for use on a web site.
Our problem is that several of the macros apparently reference an 'S:' drive.
Is there any way I can edit these macros to change / remove the drive reference?
I have a report that spans 4 years, and for each year it takes about 25 queries to produce the report. The queries for each year are only different in one number in the criteria, so what I'm trying to do, instead of having to manually copy and edit all of those queries every year, is make a macro that will do it instead.
I can make it copy all the queries and rename them, but I can't make them change the criteria in the queries.
I'm leaving my job of 21 years soon to finish school and hopefully moving on to bigger and better things doing what I like (hopefully something with DBs) and I've got 2 DBs I've built for them. The other day I combined them into one and really started to make sure that there was no need for them to ever get into design mode (not that they could without me -thanks sbaxter).
So while I was testing all the cmd buttons, there's some reports that were made in the early stages that are fed by a parameter query, and are opened by a macro. I've found that the more I'd learned, the less I use macros now, but I did more in the beginning. Anyway, when the input box pops up looking for the parameter, when I hit cancel, I get the "Action Failed" box and then the cancelled by user box. How can I avoid them getting the first error box when they decided they don't want that option?
I am using Office 2003 on XP. I have a number of reports generated by macros in the database. Once I moved the application to a different pc the macros don't respond, I have set the macro security to low and still no. If I operate the application through the network all works fine but using at the pc no. Any suggestions?

Hope I am posting my question in the correct place. First of all I am entry level user in access, but knowledgeable in excel. As I am working with data containing over 65,000 rows I decided to use access however I don’t know how create a function that will work give the same result as (vlookup) in excel. Scenario case: first column “Serial Number” contain a list of serial numbers, 2nd column will be fed manually or by a bar-scan, the third column should show the value of “1” if the value in the 2nd column exists in the first column else a value of “0” should appear
The validation formula in excel looks like: =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(B2,$A$2:$A$65000,1,FALSE))=TRU E,0,1)
Serial Number Confirmed Serial Validation
