I'm using flash mx and MDM zinc which i assume connects using the JET rather than ADO database engine.
For the life of me cannot get a simple update to work due to the dates
involved, lost count how many hours have gone by trying!!!
Within access I can easily switch quotes and hash symbols and all SQL THREE SQL queries work without problems on my database i.e.
UPDATE UserOverallResults
SET Results = 20
WHERE UserName ='Robbie'
AND Quizdate= '19/2/2008 12:15'
UPDATE UserOverallResults
SET Results = 20
WHERE UserName ='Robbie'
AND Quizdate= "19/2/2008 12:15"
UPDATE UserOverallResults
SET Results = 20
WHERE UserName ='Robbie'
AND Quizdate= #19/2/2008 12:15#
Within the database the fields are defined as :-
Results (Integer) Username (Text) and QuizDate (Date/Time) within MS ACCESS DB schema.
in Flash MX TextDate param is a STRING and All parmaters are populated appropriately (see this later in error message).
Example of existing date data stored in database in format "19/02/2008
16:48:11" as a DATE/TIME field.
My code within in flash is :-
mdm.Database.MSAccess.runQuery("UPDATE UserOverallResults SET Results = " +
UserScore + " WHERE UserName = '"+ UserName +"' AND QuizDate = '" +textDate
+ "' ");
I've tried with and without Hashes still no joy ..
mdm.Database.MSAccess.runQuery("UPDATE UserOverallResults SET Results = " +
UserScore + " WHERE UserName = '"+ UserName +"' AND QuizDate = Format( '"+
textDate +"', "#yyyy\-mm\-dd hh:nn:ss#")");
The error message I get from the code above is ..
SQL Query has failed for the following reason: Data type mismatch in
criteria expression SQL statement: UPDATE UserResultsOverall SET Results =
30 WHERE UserName = 'd' AND QuizDate = Format('19/2/2008 19:4:35'
,"#yyyy-mm-dd hh
nss#")
My text string removes the leading zeros not sure if that would cause an
issue or not (its doesnt in MS ACCESS running query) ...
Anyone have any ideas??? Losing my mind here !!
PS I had problems using '&' instead of '+' to concatenate fields.
Is there any way that I can import a text file and split the data into three columns without having to go through 65000 lines of text.
It is basically a print off of a directory structure. I have a very large text file that lists the files in folders for each of hundreds of users. I need to divide the information up into three columns so that the below data:
If any of you guys have any spare time on your hands would you mind having a look at this mess and tel me where I have gone wrong.http://www.geocities.com/andrewnorthwales/Andrews_database.mdb andrewnorthwales/Andrews_database.mdb mm this board is messing with my url if it puts us.share just change it to www. dont know why my url is not working on hereIm trying toProduce a list of available vehicles and drivers for a given input dateSearch for an availability that satisfies a prospective customer’s criteria (specific vehicle for a specific date)its my first ever database and I cant get the begger working right.it must be relationships or something, but I cant see where I ahve gne wrong.its just a fictional Weding car hire firm and I create records/orders for fictional customers.but its melting my brain __gloop...:confused:
Poor old Access. I think I've made it wave a white flag, but based on the following expression I am trying to get it to evaluate, I'm not too surprised...
The situation is that I have a large number of tick boxes on a form, which nicely filter through to a series of fields in a table whose values are either -1 or 0 (according to if the box is ticked or not). Unfortunately, I now need to generate a small piece of text for a report based on which boxes have been ticked. Deep breath...
The logic seemed to work nicely when there were just 3 options in the list, but when I try to enter the above, Access says "the expression you entered is too complex". Poor baby! :D
Does any one have any idea how I can get it to evaluate the data I need?
Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone could help me. I am in the process of designing a database (Access 2002, office xp), but the problem I am having is that when I am pulling in an ID number, from one form into another form, the form I want this number to land in crashes, with the warning that more than one user is trying to access the form at the same time (they are not, just me).
After having to clear this error box (a few times, it keeps reapearing) errors then appear in each of the destination forms fields. :eek:
I think it is something to do with the way the database is setup in multiuser envirionments and retry intervals etc - and I have been playing about with the values, which seems to work once, but then it goes straight back to crashing. :confused:
If anybody give me some default values that might work :o or any other remedies for this problem, this help would be very much appreciated :)
Many will look at this and laugh but its real. My Access Dbs are opened in hidden state and i dont see my forms. This must be the cause. I tried to hide the menubars using ghudsons code,i disabled the shift key. But i dont know what has happened.
I can nolonger view them. I have tried every method out and i think the only option is to repair OS, may be it will work.
I have enabled the database which i disabled the shift key but when i hold down the shift key, it loads but the forms are totally hidden, STRANGE! ijust see the grey access background and when i click on it twice from the task bar.It pops up.
I have tried to make another database, use the autoexec macro to call a form which enables all command bars, but this works only for this database and when i press the shift key down, this database hides the toolbars and i only see the grey access background. This is happening on EVERY DB ive developed on this machine. I thought it was the access that is totally corrupted but i tried to reinstall my office and i still get the same results This is now a NIGHTMARE to me.
When db is shifted to another machine it works fine as before. This is REAL but can i get some suggestions from you folks before i repair my OS.
Hello, im having a real problem running a certain query in access. My database is used to monitor drain spillages, and the query im trying to build needed to look down a column and show descrite water spills. A descrite spill is when water spills for a bit then stops. I need to show how many times this happens in a column.
The complexity of the problem (comparing one value in a column to other values in that column) coupled with the size of the dataset (600K+ rows) just baffles everything I throw at it.
I had two stabs at it. One involved a recordset - looping through and updating a new field. Recordsets can cause database bloat - in this case it bloated the db to 2GB (Accesses maximum size causing the code to crash) - this is something I've never managed before. The other involved a function that left access frozen.
I was really stuck on this until a crazy idea came to mind, i want to know if this would work.
This might sound stupid but how about some crazy thing like adding a new column and numbering the fields, then adding some kind of query that says if the value is over 0.001 then add a 1, if not leave blank. Then have something like if the column has a 1 in it then check the next, if this one has a 1 in it then repeat this step, if not then this is 1 spill. Store the amount it starts and stops to a variable and just use that number as the Number of descrite spills.
Im using MS Visual Web Developer with an Access Database, i am trying to enter a new row of data into a database via a select statment attached to a button_click event. the code i am using looks something like this.
Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
that being said. when i click the button, NOTHING happens, no error and no insert!!!
I did test the connection to the Database and its fine, i can do an update and i can read the data that exists in the database i just cant insert a new row.
This is not the first time i have delt with INSERT statments but this has me at my whits end and any help would be great.
Hi I have created a monster I think and I am not sure how or why. I needed a query to tie together data from a range of tables and so it has about 20 constituent queries, each of which involves some calculation. The query isn't so horrendous SELECT tblApplications.lngApp, qryExpWkHomeHelp.WkHomeHelp, qryExpWkPrescrip.WkPrescrip, qryExpWkHosp.WkHosp, qryExpWkRent.WkRent, qryExpWkSup.WkSup, qryExpWkInt.WkInt, qryExpWkLife.WkLife, qryExpWkCouncil.WkCouncil, qryExpWkCar.WkCar, qryExpWkCar1.WkCar1, qryExpWkHp.WkHp, qryExpWkDep.WkDep, qryExpWkCont.WkCont, qryExpWkProp.WkProp, qryExpWkOther.WkOther, qryExpWkTel.WkTel, qryExpWkTv.WkTv, qryExpWkWater.WkWater, tblApplications.lngAppCon, tblApplications.bAppEleg, tblApplications.dtmAppGcSub FROM qryExpWkWater RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkTv RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkTel RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkOther RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkProp RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkInt RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkLife RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkCouncil RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkHp RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkDep RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkCont RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkCar1 RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkCar RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkSup RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkRent RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkPrescrip RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkHosp RIGHT JOIN (qryExpWkHomeHelp RIGHT JOIN tblApplications ON qryExpWkHomeHelp.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkHosp.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkPrescrip.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkRent.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkSup.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkCar.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkCar1.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkCont.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkDep.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkHp.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkCouncil.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkLife.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkInt.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkProp.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkOther.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkTel.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkTv.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp) ON qryExpWkWater.lngExpApp = tblApplications.lngApp WHERE (((tblApplications.bAppEleg)=Yes) AND ((tblApplications.dtmAppGcSub) Is Null));
Well maybe it is pretty horrific! However it is taking nearly two minutes to load on a fast PC (3.4GHz Pentium 4 with 1Gb RAM) so put it on a basic desktop and it will die. I did wonder about fragmenting it into four queries and then putting one query at the top of the nest but reckon that's another layer and all the calculations need to be done. Basically the sub queries are calculating a weekly value based upon input and periodicity of payments - i.e. if quarterly then it divides the payment by 13. Any thoughts on how I could speed it up? Thanks in anticipation
Is it possible to connect a Document to the Access Database. To have a button beside the field in the form allowing you to browze and connect the document. If not does anyone have a way around this. Any help would be well appreciated.
Hi We have a database implemented in MS-SQL server 2000 on a local machine. I want to use some of tables in my access (or excel) program. Can I link to the table?
I'm having a problem in Access where I'm trying to connect 2 tables together. On one table is all the information of the person, the other table is a list from 1-50. That list is a drawing of all the peoples ID number for a drawing. When I type in their ID next to what order they got picked in is there any way where All of their information comes with that ID number they have? I really need help on this.
Hi there, I'm currently writing an accounting system and i got stuck with this section of trying to produce the account name in a query.
i have four tables
tblPurchase PurchaseID -Number
tblAccounts AccountID - Number AccountName - Text, usually has names like asset, cost of sales, expense, telephone, electricity, etc...
tblItems ItemID, Number AssetNum (tblAccounts.AccountName foreign key1), Number ExpenseNum(tblAccounts.AccountName foreign key2), Number IncomeNum(tblAccounts.AccountName foreign key3), Number
tblPurchaseLines PurchaseNum (foreign key for tblPurchase.PurchaseID), Number ItemNum (foreign key for tblItems.ItemID), Number
My question is how can i generate the query with the following fields:
PurchaseID ItemID AccountName of AssetNum AccountName of ExpenseNum AccountName of IncomeNum
I am aware that the query would produce three PurchaseID's for every ItemID it would encounter for every PurchaseLine.
So, here's my problem: I'm doing a database on my DVDs, and I wanted to add as much info as I can about them. But I have some problems with "actors", as you know one actor can be in several movies and one movie has several actors.
I want to put the actors in their own table and movies in their own. I know how to link them together, but I don't know how to link them together so that actors could be in more than one movie and movie could have more than one actor.
Hope that even someone understands my question since my english ain't so good..
I'm somewhat new to working with ASP and very new to databases, MS Access, and SQL.
What works is opening my .mdb file, which connects through an ODBC DSN to get dynamic data. Nothing fancy.
What I'm trying to do is create a web interface via ASP to access certain data and fields in the db.
Here are the super-noob questions...Do I need a version of MS Access and the .mdb file on my webserver (where the .asp file is)? I don't have the ODBC DSN set up on the webserver (which is linux). Does that need to be done before anything will work?
Let me know if code snips would be of any assistance. Thanks much, in advance!
I work in an office where we do testing with clients . I want to create a database that can create a unique report for each client on the testing results.I envision a database with at least three tables. The first table would be client demographic information with a unique ID field (CID). The second table would be the Appointment information (date, referral source, etc.). The third table will have the test results (although I'm wondering if I should have a table for each test).
Sometimes, we see clients more than once, and so need the ability to have more than one appointment record for each client. For each appointment, we would record test results.I have created a one-to-many relationship between the Client Demographics and the Appointment tables. When I created the form for the Client Demographics, I inserted a subform for the Appointment. That works great. The CID automatically transfers to the Appointment record and instantly connects the two.How do I connect the Test Results table so that the CID automatically transfers to the Test Results record as well as the Appointment Date field from the Appointment Table.
Before we moved webhosting company we could have external access to our MySql database which was great as our MS Access system would periodically pull data from our MySql site (namely customer enquiries which were entered via a form on our website) and dump them in our MS Access live quotes table all automatically.
With our current host (which seems to be the norm from my web-searches) they only allow local access to the MySql system.
My question is, how can I oversome this hurdle without having to move hosting company. I really don't want to move again as it's a real pain.
is there a possibility to connect two different databases??? I mean is, I have a table called PERSON. under PERSON, there are fields called PERSON NAME, BIRTHDAY and ADDRESS. another table is called SEMINARS, under it are DATES FROM, DATES TO and TITLE.
I want to combine one of the records in PERSON to the 5 records in the SEMINARS. is there a possibility to do that???
to include in the information, there are 10 records in the PERSON and there are 75 records in the SEMINARS. and I want to add more records in SEMINARS in any of the records in PERSON in the near future.
how do you connect fields from one table to another? what im trying to do is to connect two fields from product! product id and order details! product id. the one in the order details table should equal whatever i input in the product table.
A school table is there in old and new data base, if i give school key as 001 (which is the column of school table) i need to compare old database school table "001 key" and new database school table "001 key" and if it is not matched it should be displayed.

I have a little problem: And hope somebody can give me an answer.
I have two tables, one form and on the form I have two textboxes. One of the textboxes should be connected to ONE table and field, and the other textbox to the OTHER table and field.
I tryed to conect through the expression builder but had not much luck! See code below.
This code comes up in the ControlSource property section and textbox also: =[tbl_CompanyContact]![CompanyPhoneNumber] =[tbl_PrivateContact]![PrivatePhoneNumber]
Where do I set in properties the connection to different tables i.e. tbl_CompanyContact / tbl_PrivateContact and where the connection to the field CompanyPhoneNumber / PrivatePhoneNumber.
I want to know if it possible to use MS Excel instead of web application (ASP, HTML,...) that is connected to MS Access and will update MS Access as user update information on MS Excel?
If it possible how I should get started b/c I kind of have a template for Excel. I just need to learn connecting excel to MS Access and maintain them.
I was wondering if someone could try and connect my database to the web. I would like to view the names of the CDs in her collection over the Internet.
I just found out that this years project wil be setting up a remote office location. There will be about 5 users at this location. They want complete control over all equipment. What they have in place here is Terminal Services and thin clients.
Our db is Access front end with SQL backend.
My initial thought for the remote office is: High Speed Internet Either CAT5 to each desk or Wireless Access Point 5 thin clients.
Using RDP they should have no problem accessing our network unless they can't all use the same public IP address for our main office.
The other thought is Setting up a Point-to-point VPN. My biggest problem is I havn't worked with thin clients until I started working here. I don't know what I would need at the remote end in order to connect the thin clients through the VPN. They don't want any servers or desktops if we can help it.
Does any one have any suggestion or thoughts on this?
I've just set up my Access on a new PC and now when I try to connect to my MySQL database through odbc, Access crashes without any error messages, just the standard microsoft error reporting message.
