Tables :: Linking Two Databases To Same SQL Table
Oct 14, 2014
We have a case where there is an append query in one database that is is updating another database table. We have moved all the tables to MS-SQL (2008) using the SSMA tool. We were wondering if it would be possible to create a new linked table in the DB where the append query is. Of course we cannot use the SSMA tool again since the table already exists on the MS-SQL server.
Normally when I try to make linked tables from Access, it wants to create a ODBC connection which we are not using.

there are many threads about Table Linking but i coud not find one that answers my specific questions.
1. Can i either prevent database from linking to my tables? (or give permissins )
2. If not, can i make the table read only when linking?
3. Is there a way to confirm what databases are linked to my tables?

Hey all!
Okay, so here's a real puzzle, so put on yur thinking caps!
I have two large databases that are twins of eachother, with only a minor difference in a small corner of one table. Even the forms are exactly the same.
I want to split each one from thier tables, so I have databases strictly for [tables], and strictly [forms, queries and reports]...
Then I would like to get rid of one of the copy cat [forms, queries and reports] db's leaving a single [f,q and rpts] db with the ability of ANY user (not a semi-skilled db dev such as me) to have the option at opening, which db to link to for the tables (without going into the tool bar, since it is not visible to them).
Is there an EASY way for a "non-dev" user to choose which [tables db] on an opening form/switchboard?
Live long....prosper.

Extreme novice small business trying to use Access, need some help.
I want to setup a simple payroll system in Access - we have a database of 13 employees already in Access as well as a form we created with fields to enter hours and calculate total due. This may end up being very easy or very hard, but I'd like to know how to, first, set up the form so that it performs the calculations (hourly rate x hours) and then enter this information into another database that will keep track of the weekly payroll...is this far more complicated than I think? Any help/suggestions/points in the right direction are much appreciated.

I have two databases that are used by different teams. There is reluctance for both teams to use the same data base because they are used for different purposes etc.
However, there is quite a bit of information that crosses over. Basically, when an order is logged it goes to Database A (DBA) then they import the customer information such as name, address etc. Then the order is passed to team B who deal with the order, who use Database B (DBB). Currently Team B have to import all of this information again into DBB.
What I want to do is link the two databases so that once something has been added to DBA it becomes available from a drop down list on DBB and team B can then import all of the other necessary information they need.
What would be the best way of linking these up? i thought about trying to create a button in DBB so that when it is selected it asks for an order number which would then search DBA for that number and provide a new record in DBB with the first few fields already completed.

I have Linked a few ODBC Databases to my database in the Tables objects. How do I make them usable for queries or as record source for my form? I tried to create a query but the ODBC databases do not show up in the Table options.

I currently have two Access Databases (one with the raw 'data' and the other with the queries and reports that turn it into 'information' - the data database links into the other).
For contingency purposes, I now want to move both Databases onto sharepoint in case I have a system failure on my laptop (I don't have a server I can put these on). When I upload these onto Sharepoint the second database still seems to link to the file on my computer..
Is there a way I can get a Database to link into another database that's held on sharepoint?

I am creating a database for the company I work for. My boss wants it to have every information possible stored and accessible through the one database. Right now the time sheet that we use is a hard copy that the guys fill out and turn in each week. Before the database started I created an excel sheet for them to start using. My boss wants me to link the excel sheet to a table in access. The way it would work is each of the guys would fill theirs out and email them to me by Friday. I would then link it to the table so that we could easily pull information we needed through a query.
I read online on the office support website that you can link a spreadsheet but then access does not store the data and the data if needed to be changed had to be done through the excel spreadsheet. Doing it like that made it sound to me that each time sheet that was turned in each would would create a new table. I was hoping there was a way to have one table with all the times on it using an employee number as the relationship key. The biggest thing though is that the guys have to use excel to fill out the time sheet because getting each guy access is "not an option" .

I have a database with two tables. tbl_job_information contains all the contracts info etc. tbl_data contains all the relevant work data. The first table is restricted to certain personnel, whereas anyone has access to the second table. Both tables have a column called 'job no', in the first table it is a primary key, in the second just a field. I would like to make it impossible in the second table to change the data in the 'job no' column to anything that is not in the same column in the first table. It this possible within the tables themselves, or would I have to do it via coding and forms?

Hi All
I have started working with a database/s that was not set up by me and I am having problems appending tables from different databases.
Overview -
There was one original database set up to collect clinical data with a 'mainTBL' (health data) and a 'subTBL' (medications data) linked within the 'mainTBL'. Rather than having one continuous database the data entry person has copied the database and used a copied version for each month (where the records were deleted so new records could be entered) - so I have six databases for six months of data entry and I need to make it into one big database.
There is an ID field in the 'mainTBL' that is an autonumber (and primary key) and this has a relationship with an ID field in the 'subTBL'.
The problem -
The autonumbers in each monthly database are not unique across the six different databases (Eg the autonumber in both february and march starts at 74 so there is duplicate ID's in february/march). I have to append all the monthly databases (including the 'subTBL's) and then start a new autonumber so they are all unique and new data can then be entered. I am having trouble appending because of the duplicates and the relationship between the ID fields - what is the best way around this.
Thanks for any help in advance.

I need to do a join on two tables, one is in the current database, but the onther one is an another database. I am struggling with the syntax. Can anyone advise where I am going wrong?
This is the code, but it says the usual 'Syntax error in FROM clause'
SELECT za06_report_2006.wbs, za06_report_2006.cost_cntr, wbslist.description
FROM za06_report_2006 LEFT JOIN wbslist in '\ukdewgs002gdatapcdatafinancedocumentwbslis t.mdb' on za06_report_2006.wbs= wbslist.[wbs element];
All table names , variable names, and paths are correct.
Thanks for any suggestions
(I am very new to SQL)

I am working on a database that will be an addition to an existing one on the company server. However, to make the overall layout not so complex and allow room for other additions in the future, I'd like to keep the databases separate. This will also ensure more efficiency, integrity and troubleshooting overall.
I have the original database with the name of "Cell MFG Screen" that contains a switchboard. I am now creating a db to keep track of manufacturing waste (which will also be on the same server when completed). That switchboard is called "Cell Waste Weight". Again, I want to keep these db's separated from one another as well being able to add future dbs. Now, what my plan is to make up a one db that consists of only a switchboard that will be used as the main switchboard to be able to navigate to other dbs that are located on the server.
Does anyone know how this is done?
Thank you in advance for your help,
~Kilch

I've currently come across the issue where an end user copied the database locally to their computer and has been using it for months and months. After fixing an issue in the database on the server and then finding that someone still had a database bug is how I figured this out. Anyway, what would be the best way for me to merge the table 1 from the database she was using to table 1 in the database on the server? Is there a way to export a table so I can then import the data? Like I said, the databases are identical other then the data.

I have a table (tbl Team Info) which contains names and codes for teams within my business (>400 records) and another table (tbl Process) which contains a list of high level tasks (30 records).
I need to create something where for each team name 9in tbl Team Info) I can map them to the tasks that they undertake (in tbl Process) and assign a percentage of time then spend on each task. Each team could map to several different tasks.

I have 4 databases that share 3 tables.
Each database is used for different purposes and other tables which do not relate to the other databases.
My question is: how do I set up the back ends so each database can retrieve and enter data into the 3 shared tables without conflicts??
I know how to split each of the databases to front and back ends but how would I link them all to the 3 tables they share? Should I create one back end with only the 3 shared tables and link the separate back ends for each database???
Any help much appreciated!

Dear members,
I have two databases, Source and destination ;
strSrceDB = "C:WSS_DBRehabilitated_Water_Supply_Kulyob.mdb"
StrDestDB = "C:DBWSS_Khatlon.mdb"
I would like to append records to the destination table (Contractor_GIS) when there are no matching records in the source table (Contractor).
My code is as follows:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim strTemp As String
Dim strSQL As String
Dim StrDestDB As String
Dim strSrceDB As String
Dim mdb As DAO.Database
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
strSrceDB = "C:WSS_DBRehabilitated_Water_Supply_Kulyob.mdb"
StrDestDB = "C:DBWSS_Khatlon.mdb"
'Make sure it is there
If Dir(StrDestDB) = "" Then
Call MsgBox(StrDestDB & " does not exist", vbOKOnly, "Aborting...")
ElseIf Dir(strSrceDB) = "" Then
Call MsgBox(strSrceDB & " does not exist", vbOKOnly, "Aborting...")
Else
strSQL= "INSERT INTO Contractor_GIS("
strSQL = strSQL & "System_ID,"
strSQL = strSQL & "Contractor_Name)"
strSQL = strSQL & "IN '" & StrDestDB & "' "
strSQL= strSQL & "SELECT Contractor.System_ID,"
strSQL = strSQL & "Contractor.Contractor_Name "
strSQL = strSQL & "FROM Contractor IN '" & strSrceDB & "' "
strSQL = strSQL & "Contractor_GIS IN '" & StrDestDB & "' "
strSQL = strSQL & "where Contractor.System_ID <> Contractor_GIS.System_ID;"
Set mdb = DBEngine.OpenDatabase(StrDestDB)
Debug.Print strSQL
Call mdb.Execute(strSQL)
mdb.Close
Set mdb = Nothing
DoEvents
MsgBox ("The Geodatabase tables have been successfully appended!")
End If
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
strTemp = Err.Description & " [Update_SystemTab]"
Call MsgBox(strTemp, vbCritical, "Contact Help Desk")
End Sub
I get Syntax Error in "Insert into" clause.
Any help on this will be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I have a club member registration application consisting of a program database and a data database. They reside in the same directory. There is an autoexec macro which runs at the beginning. This macro has to find the DATAdb and make sure that the required tables are linked (Not all tables). If it cannot find the DATAdb and then has to make a call to the user to use a different procedure.
Now to find the DATAdb I have used the following code that works. The function GetPathAndName parses the string db.name and outputs the path and name of the PROGdb. Up to here no problems.
Code:
GetPathAndName db.Name, FrontPath, dName
Then I use the following code to get the fullpath of the last database used and thereby find the path and name of the last DATAdb. The path of PROGdb is used in place of the existing path of DATAdb to check whether the file exists.
Code:
Dim rs As Recordset, cPath As String, cName As String
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT Database, Type " & _
"FROM MSysObjects " & _
"WHERE ((MsysObjects.Type) = 6) AND ((MsysObjects.Name) = 'MembersTbl') " & _
"ORDER BY MsysObjects.DateUpdate DESC;")
[Code] .....
As the final step I use the table definitions to refresh links that already exist and connect tables that are not linked The code is below. But I can not get it to work. It links 7 tables instead of 16 and when tested in different folder says invalid operation and so on. There is fundamental error some place but I could not figure it out.
Code:
On Error GoTo Error_Linking
Debug.Print "TableDefs.Count="; db.TableDefs.Count
For I = 0 To db.TableDefs.Count - 1
Debug.Print "TableDefs("; I; ").Connect="; db.TableDefs(I).Connect
Debug.Print "TableDefs("; I; ").Name="; db.TableDefs(I).Name
[Code] .....
