Could Not Find Installable Isam
May 8, 2007I have recently installed access 2007 and I get an error when trying to do an import data macro for an excel file. It says "could not find installable isam". I have googled and googled, and tried the following:
renaming the msexcl35.dll and msexcl40.dll files, reinstalling access, verifying path is correct in the registry, and manually registered the above files. I also have the most recent jet service pack installed.
Anyone have any ideas what is wrong?
ISAM For FoxPro 2.6 Tables Linked Into Access 2003
Nov 26, 2004I have been running queries and reports with data from our company database (a third-party system based on FoxPro2.6) by linking tables into MS Access 97 for years. We have now upgraded to XP and Office 2003, and suddenly I can no longer do this but get a message "Could not find installable ISAM".
I've tried to locate the required file on the Internet but no luck so far. Can anybody help me? I am currently using an old pc with Office 97 on it to run the reports, but it's in a different office location and makes the whole job very tedious. Are there any work-arounds?
Any help much appreciated!

ISAM Error
Oct 22, 2006Okay,
I originally had a LInked tabledef to my focpro dbf file, but when i found i could statically link a query, i decided to use that method instead.
Now, I clicked on the properties, copied my connect string, and voila it worked.
THen i was trying to do a few things to split my database, since I figured certain things would be faster in a back-end external database, and I wanted to copy the linked query. The query accidentally got deleted from my database, and i went to recreate it. Now I'm getting this error:
"Cannot find installable ISAM"
So i went back to my VB programmed tabledef, and that works fine, but the query still won't. Why?

ISAM Seek Error 3709
Oct 13, 2006A couple of us were doing data entry when one of the record converted its characters to chinese one. When trying to delete this record,I got the error message that the key wasn't found in any record. And clicking the help this is what it said "The search key was not found in any record. (Error 3709)
This error occurs when an ISAM SEEK is being executed and there are no matching values in the index." I was only trying to delete.
A suggestion I found on Google was to remove the indexing of memo fields, but there aren't any.
Any suggestions?
Find Records From 2 Tables
Jul 31, 2007How would one go about comparing 2 tables and finding those records that are not common to both tables? For instance, I have a table that I suspect some records have been accidently deleted by the user. I would like to compare that table to an older version of the table, and list only those records that exist only in the older version of the table.
Thanks.
Find Queries From Tables
May 10, 2005Ok this might be a really stupid question, but in the quest to always make my life a little bit easier thought i would ask !
I have been asked to find the relationship between a number of tables and queries, so that this company can find out which tables and fields in tables are no longer really used, in other words how many queries and which ones is table A used in if you understand what I mean !
doing it manually means checking every query (and there are a lot !!) and seeing which table they use.. what I want to know is what is the quickest way to to this? can I do it from the table end? in others find out how many queries Table A is used in ? or do I have to go through each query individually? if this is the case my thoughts were just on copying and pasting the sql view from every query into a a word or txt doc and then doing a search /find for each table name? but if anyone has a more efficient idea on how to do this if u cld let me know !! :confused:

Mar 7, 2007This may have already been addressed, but I can't even think of how to word it to do a good search.
I have one table, tblInvoices. I've done a query to search for "Micro*" in my [supplier] field, along with [Item].
I then need to pull from the same tblInvoices, any other records that contain the same [Item] as one that was queried in qryMicro.
I've tried to make a relationship between tblInvoices and qryMicro with [Item] but am getting too many records. I don't want to view records from qryMicro as I'm going to do a Union query to merge the two queries. I've tried
Field: Item Criteria tblInvoices.Item = qryMicro.Item w/o a relationship between the two but it's no better.
Any ideas as to how I can accomplish this?
Thanks,

Find Minimum Of Dates From Different Tables?
May 1, 2006The database I'm working on is used for personnel budget projections. Because some employees are hired mid-year, I need to be able to use various dates in my projection calculations.
I have 3 different tables - one with the employee start date, the other with the fiscal year start date, and the last with the start date of certain special pay tables. In order for my projections to work correctly, I'll need to return in a query the minimum of these 3 dates. I know how to do a minimum value in a single field within a table, but don't know how to select a minimum from multiple values in multiple tables. Is this possible.:rolleyes:
Find Matching Entries In Other Tables?
Dec 10, 2007Im using Access 2000.
Essentially I want to find out which of the entries in my master table have matching entries in my other tables, and list the ones that do.
So if I have an entry in the master table for “productA”, and there are also matching entries for “productA” in tables “SupplierC” and “SupplierD”. I want to perform a query that will output a list showing “SupplierC” and “SupplierD” (I have A & B tables but if there isn’t an entry in them for “ProductA” I don’t want them on the list.)
I intend to use the results to populate the values of a combo box in future so I require the list to be in a single column, rather than across many columns. Does anyone know if this is possible?
My master table is called “OurProductsTable” and the four supplier tables are called “SupplierA”, “SupplierB”, “SupplierC”, and “SupplierD”.
Each Table has a primary key called “ProductID” and I have linked them together on the relationships screen.
I’m not sure if this is the proper method but I also made another field in each of the supplier tables called “CompanyName” and set the default value as the name of each supplier, so if the entry for supplierC matches the master table entry I can return the “CompanyName” value of “SupplierC”.
Here’s what I thought the code should kind of look like but I don’t know how to apply it properly in a query:
Find A Relation Between 2 Diff Tables
Apr 30, 2008hi
i have a database to manage utility bill payment , it consist of
- Bills :
- billID
- Benificiary Name
-Cost Center
- Bills Transaction :
-TransID
-bILLid
-BillDate
-BillAmount
-Payment Transactions :
-PayTranID
-bILLid
-PayAmount
-PayDate
-BankRef
i made a union query from Bills Transaction and Payment Transactions to calculate bills balances which is : billid,sum(Bills Transaction.BillAmount)-sum(Payment Transactions.PayAmount)
all is working well , but the problem is i cannot find any relation between billtransaction
and billpayment ( per bill ) , cause i wish to payment details for each single bill transaction
the normal case is : bills issued as monthly basis but may fully or partially pay as the following cases :
- each bill transaction may fully pay one time
- in some cases : each bill transaction may fully pay but in multi settle
- multi bill transaction (per BILLID) may fully pay one time
IN CONCLUSION : each bill transaction should be stteled fully within one or two or maximum 3 months , say bill balance for each bILLID shall be zero.
how i could find a relation between this two transaction ( bills and payment ) to preview
payment information for each single bill transaction
exapmle :
billID : 39
BILL Transaction BillPayment BillsBalance
Bill Date - Amount PayDate- Amount

Find Similar Data In 3 Tables

I can get this to work for 2 tables, using a query, but not three.

View 1 Replies View RelatedComparing 2 Tables To Find Duplicate Values
May 9, 2006Hey all
Im rather new to access but have to use it at work. Ive been asked to see if there is a way to delete duplicate records from a table.
Now, I have 2 tables. The 1st table (tbl_list) contains records of various customer details. This list is old.
The second table (tbl_new_list) contains new customer details.
We have found that we have the same customer details in tbl_new_list that are in the old table.
Im looking for a way to compare these 2 tables so that the values in tbl_list are not in tbl_new_list.
I have tried numerous methods using append queries but nothing seems to work.
Thanks in advance people
P.S the data will be compared through a telephone number.

Apr 24, 2013Employees submit information into a form which translates the information into a table. The table has been in use for years.

Bottom line I am trying to write a query finding duplicates across tables but basing the duplicate only on certain columns.

Feb 27, 2014We are a non-profit that does blind mailings for our membership drive.
The company who we buy names and addresses from sends us a delimited file that has these fields as the headings
" ID, FULLNAME,COMPANY, ADR1, ADR2, CITY, STATE, ZIP, FIPS"
Once they send out the mailings, people then send in back a remit slip with a contribution that gets scanned through a program that creates a file that gives us these titles

Queries :: Find Duplicates From 2 Tables And Remove From 1 Table
Jun 29, 2014I have a report with 2 access tables (1 Master table and another a daily feed table)
The Master table keeps a log of all incoming records. (once append it to this table, should not show in future reporting)
The Daily feed information within the last 48 hours. (uploaded from an excel report into access temporary table)
When the daily feed table gets completed, I append the records and updated them into the Master to avoid duplication.
When I upload the daily feed table and I match it against the Master table to find duplicates, how can I delete the duplicates from the Daily Feed table?
This is my code to find duplicates:
SELECT CMPreport.ID, CMPreport.MbrName, tblMaster.ID
FROM CMPreport LEFT JOIN tblMaster ON CMPreport.ID = tblMaster.ID
WHERE (((tblMaster.ID) Is Not Null));
