TABLE - LIMIT Question
Oct 11, 2006
I am use to SQL commands... I am currently working on a MS ACCESS DB for a web site.... I have a program that uses LIMIT, but ACCESS does not use LIMIT... I know MS ACCESS uses top, but here is the dilemma.
I have over 200 rows in a table. I want to have a query of 1-50 rows... then another with 51-100 and so on...till I reach the end of my table.... The problem is ... TOP does not let me choose where to start in the DB and stop... can anyone help with this issue??

Hi
I have two tables:
tblHazards:
HazardsID
Hazard Description
Hazard Class
Risk Description
tblRisks:
RisksID
Risk Description
Hazard Class
What I am trying to achieve is to only show records in the Hazard table where the Hazard Class is the same for both tables.
I will be creating a list of Hazard Descriptions and Hazard Class as dropdowns for the Hazard Description field and want this to only accept Risk Descriptions which have the same Hazard Class.
Can't seem to get this to work.
Thanks to anyone who can advise.

My boss has a table with tons of fields on it, he designed it this way because it was easier to add data to one place, but now the table keeps crashing, does ms 2k have a limit to the number of fields in a table??
Thanks in advance.

I have a report which runs from a linked excel worksheet. Is there any way I can limit the number of rows in the access reports to only show those rows which are populated in the excel worksheet.
Presently, if the excel worksheet has information in say 20 rows, when I come to print the access report it is telling me there are 1067 records and the only way I can print is by selecting pages 1 & 2 of the report to print.

Hi all, I've searched this with no success.
I have a ODBC (Firebird) table linked using a DSN connection which has >300 fields. In Access, the linked table only show 256 fields (max for Access). Otherwise the link works fine. I have no control over the source Firebird table.
What I'd like to do is limit which fields from the Firebird table are shown in Access. I don't need all the fields, but I need some that are at the end and are not linked in the current setup.
I'm very much a novice at using ODBC, but can I somehow use SQL or some other method to specify which fields to show in the linked table?
Thanks for any suggestions,
John

I have a DB with 4 tables:
Property (used for look-up values)
Service Type (used for look-up values)
Rate Table (uses the Property Table and Service Type Table and is used as a rate look-up table for the daily service table noted below)
Daily Service
Using the Daily Service table, I need to choose a property, choose a service type that is limited to the property (100's of service types, but a property may only have a limited number), and enter a quantity, and have the Rate Table return the specific cost of the service. I didn't think this was too hard in Access (2013), but I seem to be hitting a wall and spending too much time figuring it out. Now I am behind in my project.
I have been trying to do this in a table format, but have been unsuccessful in limiting the results of the Service Type combo box based on the property chosen.

Hi,
I have a fairly simple database that looks like the attached. It is the beginnings of a school database. Unfortunately, the MS template doesn't quite do it.
We have around 700 pupils in 5 year groups. Each year's intake is assigned the year of that intake (e.g. 2002, 2003 etc).
The youngest pupils are in Year 7 whilst the oldest are in year 11.
Each Class is assigned based on the intake year but given the name of the schooling year - (e.g. year 7, year 8 etc). And there are 6 classes per year - hence names 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 etc.
My "Students and Classes" table should combine both the classes and pupils. However, I want to be able to firstly select the class to put the pupil into (and hence infer the induction year), then just show in the next filed only
the pupils that belong to that induction year and hence go into the selected class.
However I design my lookup or query, I can't seem to figure out how to do this, or if this can even be done.
Any help is much appreciated.
Chris

Can you use the LIMIT function in access?
It limits the number of records out putted by a query.

Hello All:
We use a custom built Access “97 version” database at work that keeps track of our internal manufacturing processes. The database stores jpg’s and dwg files that use up a lot of precious DB space and if we had it to do over we would use hyperlinks to these files to save space. But this database we built long ago and we have reached the 1 gig limit of Access 97.
1) If we upgrade to a newer version of access will this increase the database limit to 2 gig’s
2) Is this kind of upgrade easy to do or should this be done by a Access professional
Thanks for the help
Alex

Hello,I have a form that I use for searching. It takes all the records in the database and then people can type things they are searching for - numbers, dates, names, descriptions etc. - into a text box, and as they type, the selection window shows fewer and fewer matches.What I would like to do now is give the user the option to limit where the underlying query searches, but only if he wants to do this. In other words, I want to be able to search the entire database [default], or only within a certain year, or amongst the products of one manufacturer, or a certain model etc. and I want to be able to combine parameters so that more than one can be applied at the same time. I have 5 or 6 parameters and I was thinking of using drop-down boxes for the user to select a value for these parameters. My problem is that when I specify parameters to limit the search, I have to have a value in all of them. What do I need to do to make those optional?Thank you.

Hi,
I am trying to display data from a table. One of the fields is entered via a combo box. When displaying that data on a form I need to be able to allow items not on the list(created by a select query) to be displayed for this field. The data was created some time ago and it seems that records have been deleted in certain places which has resulted in inconsistent data.
I am happy resticting data entry for new records, but need to allow items not on the list to be displayed for historical data. Data entre and displaying of historical data take place on seperate forms so this is no problem.
My problem is that I am only able to disable limit to list if I make the bounded column anything other than 1 and doing this displays the wrong data!
Am I attempting the imposible or if not, can anyone help?

My undertsanding is that text fields are limited to 255 characters. A friend has a databse with some "notes" type fields with data a few sentences long. Is there any way around this limit. If not, what database recommendations can anyone make for someone who needs a questionnaire component in his database?

I have a combo box that worked fine. Now it will not show any records after the 65530th record. I can remove a record and it will show the next one down so it appears to be a setting that controls the nuber of records shown. Any suggestions on how to show all the records would be great.
The program is attached to a SQL table.

I was able to get a response to a question on sorting records which was great. So I've decided to post one that I am concerned about.
Once I have completed my DB, I would like to send this out for review. How do I limit the viewing to a 30-day demo? Once the 30-day period has expired I would like the DB to prompt for a User Name and Registration Code before allowing any further access.
I’ve seen programs that use your system hardware to return a unique ID. Once you have this unique ID the user is required to provide this for a registration code unique to that machine. I just don’t want someone to copy my DB and place it onto other computers without purchasing the license from me. Is this possible without having to purchase these programs? I would also like to understand the process that the DB goes thru to return this information. I think this would help me understand how Access works.
I had thought of purchasing Installer Pro but this only stops the installation process. Once this has been placed on one computer can’t you just copy the DB and place it onto another computer? If I needed to purchase this software I would like to have the program install the unique ID in the registry and have my DB check the registry to confirm that the unique ID is there if not then it would prompt for the User Name and Unique ID and close if it didn’t match. So if someone copied my DB and placed it onto another computer (not using the installer program) then it would not detect the Unique ID in the registry and close.
Sorry I rambled on but I’m not sure if this is how it works or not. I’ve spent a lot of time developing my DB and once I have secured it I would like to keep others (less knowledgeable) from using it.
Any help or explanation would be greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to limit the number of records entered into a database, and return an "error". Not an error exactly but it should pop up and say "the limit of 25 members allowed to sign up for this class has been met". I figured out how to go in access and create a validation rule so that "ID < 26", and it has successfully blocked records #26 and up from being saved, but it shows on the form that it was submitted. How do I get it to "know" when to say "the limit has been met"??
Thanks in advance!!

I've apparently hit the two gig limit in access. The database won't let me compact/repair. it wont let me save changes to tables. I can't open access by itself and repair the external table. I'm sure that the database could be shrunk down if I could get it to do the repair! I get an "Invalid Argument" error on everything I try to do.
Anyone experience this? Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi - I have searched this board and cannot find anything that has worked. I'm hoping someone can help and maybe I've just missed it somewhere on this board. Here's the thing:
I worked for 3 months on a MDB and got it working the way I needed. I then ran it for the date range I needed and apparently hit a file size limit. I got the "invalid arguement" error and immediately stopped the query and did a "compact and repair". It looked like the compact and repair worked but then the mdb did not come back up as it usually does. I closed Access and tried to re-open the mdb. Nothing happens! No error - no nothing. It just plain will not open. I then tried to compact and repair again but that will not work even when I select it as the mdb to compact and repair. I even tried to open a new, blank mdb and link to the mdb that won't open..no go.
Does anyone have any suggestions on other things to try to get this to open again? Are the tables stored somewhere outside of the mdb that I can delete to make it smaller and open?? I'm grasping here..I know it..but i'm desperate to get this thing to open for me.
any help would be appreciated.
Caitlin
