May 14, 2013Is there a way to display the size of the tables? I am using Access 2010.

View RepliesI have an Access 2010 database .. and will be adding about 25,000 records a day to it. So it will get pretty big fast .. so 9 million a year. Is this too big for Access ?? Or is it more a issue of file size .. I know that Access 2010 can go up to 2 GB. I am interested in how I can maximize my performance and not have the database.The data is as follows .. One table. The other tables will be small, just this one will increase in size really.
Id .. Autonumber (primary key)
When .. datetime
Radio .. integer (indexed .. w duplicates)
Group .. integer (indexed .. w duplicates)
Type .. text 4
TransType .. text 2
I am considering a purge of old records if needed .. like only keeping the most previous 5 million records or some reasonable number. Like .. then I would think I should try to number my records backwards (using long int rather than autonumber and number records backwards on import) .. ie record 1 would be the most recent one and only keep the last X number of them for performance reasons.
I am new to Access 2010. When working with a form, how do I display the field list? The list of fields for the table associated with that form.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI created a report from a query and there is many fields therefore it made the report 22" wide. I rearranged the fields with in 8" but in the property field when I put 8 in there it does not change and it goes right back to 22". in print preview there are 6 pages and only 3 with info showing the other 3 are the extra width of the report.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form with two tables referenced. I am using the form only to update one of the tables. I am using the other table to pull a reference field. When I add my second table using the query builder, it makes it to where I can't edit/add in my form. I assume its because of the SQL insert statement, but I don't see this statement and can't find where it is to edit it. How to have the form only update one of the tables, while just using the second table as a reference for a field?
View 1 Replies View Relatedi am running some code from vba to add a linked table and the do some lookups, then delete the linked tables.
When the linked table gets added, the navigation pane gets displayed. I have set it to do not display in the settings and it does not when it opens but when this code runs it opens and then stays open until the db is closed and reopened.
I am trying to use my db as a software and I really do not want this to show.
I have also noticed this in a database I have which has update queries and was fine in access 2000 but does what i described above when using in access 2010.
How can I link multiple images from a folder on my drive to each record without making the database file huge?
Each record is a plant species. I want to link to photos of flower, seed, etc. See attached database example.
I would then like those images to appear on a report for each species. How would I go about doing this, if it is indeed possible?
We have an Access 2000 backend database resides in a network server drive while users connect to the backend tables with a mde file on their computers. All users have Access 2010 and the mde file was converted from the 2000 frontend with Access 2010.
The database have been running for a few weeks but recently users have been complaining about record lost on the backend table.We have also experienced one incident of data corruption where the main table could not be opened. After Compact & Repair, the table could be opened but a few records were showing xxxxx on all the fields and we have to delete and re-enter these records.Would they relate to using 2010 mde converted from 2000 frontend when the backend is still in 2000? I am a little nervous about converting both the frontend and backend to 2010 since I have heard various issues on the new version.
I am using Access 2010.I have a table that I am using to pull my data from other tables and a query.My table is called tblMyData.One of the field names is level1. This field points to another table, and gives the user the choices for states (examples California, Texas, Maine).
Another field name is level2. This field points to another table and give the user the choice for type of customer (examples Business, Consumer)
The field name level3 points to a query. The query, qryFinalChoice matches up the choices based on level1 and level2.for example, the user can pick California for level1, business in level2 and California Widgets or Los Angeles Clothing store in level3 (plus about 20 other choices).
If the user picks Texas for level1, business in level2, business in level2 and Houston rugs, or Texas style restaurant in level3 (or about 15 other choices).
-I am recording 1 for California on level1, 2 for Texas and 3 for Maine in level1.
-I am recording 1 for business and 2 for consumer on level2.
The query qryFinalChoice has all the combinations for state, business or consumer, and lastly business name or consumer name.
-qryFinalChoice has line1 to match up the choices for level1 in my table.
-qryFinalChoice has line2 to match up the choices for level2 in my table.
-qryFinalChoice has line3 to match up the choices for level3 in my table.
I do not want any of the Texas business names appearing when the user picks California, or vice versa.
My SQL in my tblMyData tab for level3 looks like this:
Select line1 from qryFinalChoice where line1=1;
I am able to get all the line items where California is a selection.How do I change my SQL to pull all the line1 choices where I have selected from level1, and all the line2 choices where I have selected from level2 automatically based on my pulldowns?
I have a split database.(Access 2010).Three of the linked tables are Appointments, Appointments_OLD, Appointments_NEW.
I want to use vba to rename Appointments as Appointments_OLD (replacing the current one) and to rename Appointments_NEW as Appointments (replacing the current one)
I have used:
'replace Appointments_OLD by Appointments, replace Appointments by Appointments_NEW
DoCmd.Rename "Appointments_OLD", acTable, "Appointments"
DoCmd.CopyObject , "Appointments", acTable, , "Appointments_NEW"
Unfortunately this just made Appointments and Appointments_NEW clones of one another - changes in one automatically occur in the other.
What I actually want to do is to swap the names round in the backend database while maintaining the right links to the frontend.
Is this possible using vba in the frontend?
I created a table and some of the fields are shown as Memo however when I imported an Excel database some of the info was cut short in the memo fields!Some of the fields will have ten pages of typed content although it will be well spaced out.

I was therefore looking to create a new calculated field for customer count which report either "1" or"-1" depending on if the price is positive or negative. The idea being a count of this would give the customer count. The expression I am using is:
IIf([Price]>=0, 1, -1)
The problem is it I get an error message saying "The calculated field cannot be created" "verify that expression "IIf([Price]>=0, 1, -1)" includes fields that exist in the current table"

I have data coming from design team in Database 1 and using form i want search data and assign the job to a person and store it in the database with his name. I have to do this because database from design team is read only.
I have two tables (Access 2010). One with a list of names (List1) and another with a very similar list of names (List2), but they differ in very small ways. For example, List1 might have John Smith, and List2 would have Smith, John L.; and Smith, John. List2 also has a unique ID associated with these names that I need to append to List1.
I need to design a form that will allow me to look up names in List1, and have it return all names that are similar in List2. I then need to be able to choose with record in List2 matches with the List1 entry (based on a few other columns in List2, such as birth date) and have the form add that unique ID to the List1 record.
PS: I am using Access 2010
Is there a way to merge duplicate/similar Access 2010 records into one record?
I have an Access table with 1,000 duplicate records, although they are similar and not exact duplicates. As you can see below, some records contain information that other records do not. Yet, the primary key is the same for all duplicate records. I want to find a way to merge data from filled cells of duplicate records into empty cells for each duplicate record. I do not want to concatenate the data (i.e. combine last and first name, etc.). I only want to fill empty cells if there is a match for it in a duplicate record. I will delete the newly exact duplicate records later. Short of correcting the records by hand.
Example
Code:
LastName FirstName SSN Address Phone Email
Doe John 123-45-7891 123 Anywhere St. NULL john(at)gmail.com
Doe John 123-45-7891 NULL (123)456-7890 NULL
Desired Result
Code:
LastName FirstName SSN Address Phone Email
Doe John 123-45-7891 123 Anywhere St. (123)456-7890 john(at)gmail.com
Doe John 123-45-7891 123 Anywhere St. (123)456-7890 john(at)gmail.com
I have a table in my Access 2010 Database with few date/time fields. I have set different formats like Short Time, Medium Time etc. But when I link this table to Sharepoint list, all the date/time fields have been modified to their default format (General Date).
Is there a way we can keep the formats as such even after linked to Sharepoint list? If not, is there a workaround?
I have a form with a graph on, and want to show two different lines on the graph, sourced from separate tables.
The commonality between the two tables is a date.

Is it possible to do this and how?

Is it possible to have a value in an excel 2010 cell be used to update an access 2010 db?
For example, if in a spreadsheet "test" cell A2=3 then in a db "test" a column "value" is 3. However, if the value in the spreadsheet changes so does the db.
I wish to work in Access 2010 with a subset of my Outlook 2010 contacts (all desktop- no network barriers), so I am exploring the Desktop Contacts DB found in Microsoft's templates. It passes contact data back and forth using the standard macros, but I wish to add more fields from Outlook. It seems I need to find the code associated with the macro. I believe I can solve the problem using a Linked table, but am wondering if there is another solution?
Calendar synchronization is another issue. Linking gets me to the Archive Calendars, but not the Current one in Outlook which is what I want.
