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?
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 Cheers John :cool:
I'm creating a leave (holiday) database but each year must be kept seperate for analysis. (I have split the front and backend of the database) I thought of using a dropdown on the main page which could be used to select the year which relates to the leave being dealt with. Depending on the choice selected (present financial year as default) the links would update to the required database.
I am new to Access and just inherited a very large database to work with. Is there an easy way to figure out the relationship between each table and how they are linked? Thanks.

Can anyone please tell me the maximum number of records a table can accomodate? Also what happens if the number of records exceeds this maximim value? Awaiting reply
Hi all, i need some help constructing a query that will create a table for me that does not include the Type value of 'promotion' if the same ID value exists elsewhere within the query.For instance, in the example below, i would want to delete the first entry containing 'Promotion' because ID2001 exists in two other places. However, if only one instance of ID2001 'Promotion' existed in my query, i would want to keep that entry. I would prefer to write all my data to a new table called "Test", This query has to sort out about 1000 entries when executed, otherwise i'd do it manually.I'm pulling my hair out with this one, so could someone help me?ID Company Name TypeID2001 Disc plc John PromotionID2001 Disc plc Paul AgentID2001 Disc plc George Agent
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.
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.
i have constructed a switchboard/main menu and have set up buttons which link to forms. i have also made a 'return to main menu' button which does as it says, the only problem is that after going back to the main menu both forms are now open...any ideas on how to stop this problem
I would like to set up a form in Access that accepts the input of an Excel spreadsheet file (browse for file) and then creates a pivot table on one of the sheets, and appends that data to an Access database table..
can you give me some ideas on how i should approach the problem?
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.
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.
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?
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?

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.
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?
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?
I have a splitted database. I have moved the location of these files to a new directory and when trying to run the refresh links, I get a warning for each table. Is there a way I can avoid this? I run the Linked Table manager utility but get always the window "select new location for table....". Considering that my program has a lot of tables, is there a way I can get around this problem? Thank you.
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.
I am starting to add a list of useful Microsoft Access sites and forums to help beginners to Microsoft Access find what they need. If you have any useful links, then either post them below or send them to me via PM.
I thought this would be a good place to ask as many people here know quite a few good sites.
I am using 97 and have been running into problems with tutorials from microsoft since they are in 2000 format. Its not a big difference so maybe I just cant figure it out...
Anyways, I wanted to make a list of the reports I had for the user to click on one and have it pop up. Anyone know how I can make this list?
My idea is to somehow create the names in the list box using a query or something and have them be links to the report somehow...
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?
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.
