Tables :: Linking 5 Tables As Unable To Exceed 255 Rows
Mar 18, 2013
I have been asked to design a database to replace our old excel sheet to log one of our customers server builds. It a four noded system and i require a seperate log for each node serial models of parts etc, qa checks.
I intitial started by just using one table but forgot the limit was 255 rows, i need about 600 - 700. So my plan is now to transfer to indivial table for each node. Then, a general table named Main for all my other details.
Although this seems simple, i now have the annoying task of being able to link them all together and produce a single PDF file to send to our customer whilst only entering our system serial number once to produce this.
My basic understanding will be to create a System Serial Number field in each table a link it via relationships, but if i produce a report with everything i need would it input my details for all four nodes? If so how would i set this up?
I will be splitting the database once completed and then making a ACCDE file for my techs to use.

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to link 2 tables to add rows based on corresponding data...below is an example...
First table contains general info...
row 1: column 1 = John Doe column 2 = Sports
row 2: coulmn 2 = Bob Smith column 2 = Music
Second table contains detailed info
column 1 = Sports
row 1= Football row 2 = Baseball row 3 = Soccer
Expected Result:
I would like multiple rows to show for each person linking all of detailed info...
row 1: column 1 = John Doe Column 2 = Football
row 2: column 1 = John Doe Column 2 = Soccer
row 3: column 1 = John Doe Column 2 = Baseball
Thanks,

I have an Access Table with about 28,000 Automobile dealerships across the country shown. I've joined a new/small phone contact table to this to keep up with our phone contacts with the dealership and followup efforts. When I search/filter on the dealership table all is fine. However when I search/filter on the phone contact table with a few test entries, I get nothing at all. I supposed that after joining the tables, I'd be able to do a search on the field named follow up date and find/filter today's date or other dates and locate which dealerships to contact when the correct date arrives. But nothing.

Currently trying to build a database for customer management and order placement/tracking. Want to set a couple of rules so that if I for instance click yes of billing and shipping address the same that the database will automatically fill the shipping address with the data I inputted for the billing address in the same table.
The other issue I can see I'll run into is, I want to be able to select one of the company ID's (made up of a three letter abbreviation of the full company name) in the product ordering table and it will automatically fill in the rest of the customer data (phone, email, address etc) data into that form.

I have 2 identical database in terms of structure but it differs in data.
Basically I would like to import data from subDatabase to mainDatabase and ensuring that there are no duplicate records.
I have used the "link to datasource method" through importing the tables to have the "updating" function.
However, this method also means that the records in mainDatabase are also imported over to subDatabase which I do not want.
Is there a method to ensure that the records are shared/update one way only? (i.e. import from subDatabase to mainDatabase and not main to sub?)

I am doing a project where we are collecting home owner data and information on all the dogs in the household. The data for homeowner has an autonumber primary key because no field is unique or has been consistently collected. I am struggling to link the data for the dogs to the owners because an autonumber primary key will not work since not all homes have dogs. I need to have this set up so that people who are not tech savvy can look up each homeowner (or dog) and get the dog (or home owner) information. And to make things even more fun we need up to 15 potential dogs per household each of whom will have 18 different pieces of data collected.
It looks a little like this (and you can see my not matching ID issue):
Homeowner table
ID First Name Last Name...........Total Dogs
1 Max Maximus 5
2 Min Minimus 0
3 Mus Musculus 1
Dogs 1-5 table
ID Date Dog 1 Name Dog 2 Name .......Dog 5 Name
1 (Max's) 4/11/14 Bobby Billy Betty
2 (Mus's) 4/11/14 Jojo
Min will have no dog records at all, just home information.how to link the dog's to the homeowners .

I recently imported an excel file into access. Let's say it contained data for both domestic and international customers. With different things needed from each type of customer, once in Access, it became needed and easier to create separate tables- one for international and one for domestic. However, each customer needs their own unique id - and I need a way to link or relate the tables in a manner that it will not allow duplicate customer numbers between the two tables.

I have two tables called Hardware and Desk. They both have two fields called ChangeID and Priority.
What I would like to do is set it so that if we change the Priority in a record existing/created in 'Hardware', the Priority of the related record in 'Desk', also changes.
How can I achieve this?

I enabled security on an .mdb which included several users that are in the Full Data Users group. After I did this I needed to add a new form to the application, so I logged into the application and added it. However, though the admin group and the Full Permissions group can access it fine, the Full Data Users group cannot. I have double checked all of the settings and have even rebuilt the .mdw file to no avail. Any thoughts?

I am very new to MS Access. I have a main Form - ( Around 20 Projects - 20 Line Items).When I click on the Project Number - It opens a Task. Every Project will have multiple Tasks and when I click on Tasks it opens another form where I have to update the status depending upon the group.Now the problem here is when I click on the Tasks it opens the form but I am not able to save any data in that .When I close and come back all the data is gone.

I have been developing an Access (accdb) in V2013 at home for use in my work environment. Ultimately it will be used by a small number of users in different locations hence my need to split the database into a front end and back-end tables. I have done this many times before in other versions of Access and if the location of the back-end files has been changed when you open the database it prompts you to find the new location and re-link them. Since I am carrying on the development at home/work and then taking the front-end into work/home I need Access to prompt me for the new location. However unless you remove linked tables first Access 2013 will not prompt you for the new location instead it just bypasses that and asks you to open a database so you are stuck in a loop. The database has been designed to open offering users minimal possibility of tinkering so I open holding the 'Shift key' down but this still doesn't prompt me to re-link. Why is the linked table manager not being fired up?

2013 does NOT recognize DBF files, we are trying to find a solid work around to LINK to our DBF files.
There are about 30 DBF files that get updated EVERY week. And there are about 60 employees that LINK to the various DBF files. Importing is not a realistic solution given these circumstances.

When I start my database normally, I'm not able to add fields, change chart type, etc, by right clicking in a pivot chart or table. It works when I open the database while holding down the shift key though, so I suppose there is an option in my database somewhere that I have changed, but which one.

Hi,
I'm working on connecting my DB to a SQL-server. I've established the ODBC connection too the server, works fine. But, when I connect from access and come to the window where you select the tables, the tables are not here. Look at this picture:

What am I doing wrong? Is it something with the DB user?

I had an existing database with 2329 records entered into it. All of the fields (220ish) were all in one table. Myself and my co-workers wanted to rebuild the database without losing the data. We wrote queries to transfer the data from the original database to the new database and split the data from the original 1 giant table to 9 smaller tables.
The transfer of data worked so I went to start making forms. When I went to add fields from different tables I had to built a relationship, which I did. All of the data that transferred over from the new database is in the form (now multiple forms linked by button) but I can't add new information. I get an error stating, "You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table ..." and the table referenced keeps changing.

Question for someone..... I was looking at the "LinkTables" in Access..... I see that I can link one database to another..... When I do this I can add the table to my relationship window... I have not played with this too much.. But looks interesting. Now, all the info I might add to this linked table is stored in the other database??? If this linked table is also linked to other tables in the other DB can I use those in queries? Not much covered (that I can find) in the Access help files on this sort of thing.
Thanks

I have a table with job info like: job #, job name, job addy.
I would like my end query to look like this: job #, job name, job notes.
I want the query to list all jobs, job names, and job notes for a particular week(we have a weekly meeting on the status of our jobs), so if I were to query the jobs for 6/26, i would get: job #, job name, and job notes for that date as fields in my query.
I am not sure how to accomplish this. Should I make a seperate table that contains job notes? If so, how would I accomplish this and create a relationship between the job info table and the job notes table?
Thanks in advance!

Excuse me for sounding extremely dumb, but I have a question that is really bugging me. I have created a database using two tables. The two tables are called User and Assets. In both tables I have set the primary key to be the field Username. I have also linked these two fields.
I have created a form that is my interface for the database and can add and delete from the table (User). I now want to insert a sub form into my form, that displays the contents of my second table (Assets) and reference's the field Username. Hopefully this will enable me to display my table (User) in the Form, whilst only displaying the relevent data in the subform (Assets) for the particular user.
I'm sorry if this sounds confusing, but I would really appreciate your help ...

Dear all,
I have a question which I think is probably very straight foward for those who know about these things. I have just created a new database, but there are obviously some problems with the design, because when I enter information into a form, I don't seem to be able to access the information through queries or reports.
I have 11 tables, and one single form (I created the tables, and then used the wizard to create the form). The main table is called 'Client Information,' and the key in that table is the CaseNumber. They key in every other table is called something along the lines of 'ClientDetailID,' 'IncidentDetailID,' etc. When I look at the relationships between the tables, the 'ID' field in each table is linked to the 'CaseNumber' field in the Client Information table. However, I don't have any fields actually duplicated between the tables. Do I need to do this? (ie, should I have the 'CaseNumber' field appear in each table, and then the 'ID' field from every other table appear in the 'ClientInformation' table?)
thanks so much, this is probably a really simple problem but I don't think I really understand the whole relationships and linking tables thing.

Hi,
I have tables in MS Access and the same tables in SQL Server.
I want to link the appropriate tables up so that when i update the table in MS Access, it will automatically update the table in SQL Server. I want to do this using an ODBC link.
Anyone with any suggestions of how to go about this?
Thanks
