From what I have read, I understand you can't use the seek command on a recordset from a linked table from another database. Is that true? If so, what is the alternative to find a specific record in the table using an indexed field?
View Replieshi,
I linked a table (front to back) yesterday. I had a user enter information into this table. It's a login table. The login screen of the asp page is not able to find the record, even though I can see it in both tables. I am not sure what's wrong, since both tables show the same information. Does anybody have any ideas?
thanks in advance.
I have an access 2003 database where the table is linked from mysql.
I would like to know how it is possible to read a specific record from the linked tables using vba code.
Hi everybody,
My question may sound you stupid but i am a newbie and i think you can help me...
My problem is,
I have records that have the id of a stuff and the error codes of the stuff which are occured in production. Therefore not all of the fields in the record are non-zero. I want to find the non-zero field/fields in a record...
Any help will be greatly appreciated...
Thanks...
I have created a database with a switchboard and a form ("RMA"). Currently, on my "RMA" form I have a command button that allows the user to find a specific record by entering an RMA number into an input box. My code is as follows:
Private Sub cmdFindRMA_Click()
Dim myFilter as String
If vFindRMA = "" Then 'vFindRMA is a global variable, string.
vFindRMA = InputBox ("Enter the RMA Number to find:", "Find RMA", "", 5000, 3000)
myFilter = "[RMA_Number]='" & vFindRMA & "'"
Me.Filter = myFilter
If Me.Filter = "" Then
Me.FilterOn = False
Else
Me.FilterOn = True
End If
End If
vFindRMA = ""
End Sub
I want to be able to remove this command button from my RMA form and add it to my Switchboard. My problem is, I don't know what code I need to use in order for it to work from the switchboard. Can anyone help?

I have been working on quite a few multi user Access projects in the past few months with a backend and a front end which has linked tables.
I would like to know if there is any way to find out the source of a table linked to the front end and where would its location be on the network.
Access 2010. I have a form pulling from a query to create a "To Do' list of sorts. On this form is a button to open an input form for the corresponding record (I hope). When this button is used I want it to pull certain data for that specific line from the query and input it into the new record opened by the button. I know this is possible as I use another db that does this but I have not been able to figure out how to make it work in the new db.

I am working on a DB for maintenance of medical records for use by medical mission groups in Central America. As a child's information is entered into the DB, I want to be able to display his growth progress percentile numerically instead of graphically as found on a standard CDC.gov weight vs height growth chart. The graph are nonlinear so I just can't use an expression.
I have the data for percentiles based on weight and height but I need to be able to find the CLOSEST value on this table to the child's observed values of height and weight.
How do I find the value on a table which is closest to a specified number?
I've been looking everywhere to find a better way of finding duplicates in a table and then recording and adding another value in that record together.
Let me try to explain better.
example:
I have a table that has 2 columns "Name", "DOB". I would like to find all duplicate "DOB" and add all of the "Name"'s together.
Quote:
Name DOB
bob 19800201
Sam 19761211
Jim 19800201
The output I would like is to have Name = bob & Jim DOB = 19800201.
I've tried using the find duplicate wizard in access but I can't seem to group them together and just to find the duplicates it takes upwards of a minute.
I have created a query to show the fields from different tables but I am unable to add a new record. I have pin-pointed the problem to the Bottle_Speeds table. I believe it is the join that is preventing additions/edits (please look @ the attached picture) because as soon as I removed that table from the query I can add/edit.
Can anybody tell me why it is doing this and if it is possible to fix?
I would be happy if I could just edit the record, I can do a seperate form for adding.
Thanks in advance.
I am inputing data into a form and then printing that sheet from the form directly. It is working great for that as long as I input the data and print the form immediately. The trouble comes though when I am trying to find the specific form sheet again to either make changes to it or to check something on it. In the beginning, I used the ID number to locate a form by the bottom index used for scrolling through all the individual sheets. As time as progressed though the ID number and index no longer match up. It makes it near impossible to locate any old form sheet. Any suggestions?? Thanks
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi All,
I hope somebody can help me on this.
I still use Access 97.
I have 4 tables that contain a vehicle registration number field as their primary key and have one-to-one referential integrity applied.
I want to add a new registration to all 4 tables from one query. How?
I've tried many permutations with no success, such as putting the registration on a new table and trying to apply this to the 4 RI tables. I keep getting ref intergrity violations. Obviously I could disable the ref integrity rules, update the tables and then reapply the rules, but this is not possible if I am going to make the database available to a user group. A new registration needs to be added seamlessly. By not having ref integrity could leave the DB in an inconsistent state.
Help! If what I want is not directly possible, then any work-round would be appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation

When attempting to print a report in Access which was setup to print to a specific printer I am getting the following message.
This document was previously formatted for [printer name] which is currently not available. Do you want to use the default printer [printer name]
I don't understand because the printer and port name it is referencing is available and matches perfectly! I've tried removing the printer and deleting the port and re-adding it with no success.
I want to use a Form or Report to have the end user enter say a Customer # or the Customer Last Name and then have Access pull and display that record so that the end user can than print all the saved information from that record.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy problem is that I am trying to update a field (called 'Sold' which is a yes/no checkbox column) for a specific record whenever an event is triggered. I have two forms (derived from two tables), one is called frmInventory and the other is called frmSales. In frmSales, I made a combo box called 'cboItemID' that allows the user to select from a list of items from my inventory table. Each selection from the list has 4 properties, the first of which is the 'Item ID' from the inventory table. Lastly, I have a field in both frmSales and frmInventory called 'Sold' as mentioned above. What I want to do is that whenever I check/uncheck the box in the 'Sold' field in frmSales, I want the 'Sold' field in frmInventory to check/uncheck as well, but only in the record with an 'Item ID' that matches the 'Item ID' from the combo box selection. In other words, I want to match the 'Sold' field in frmInventory with the 'Sold' field in frmSales, but for only the record that has the same 'Item ID' primary key as the one I picked from my selection in the combo box from frmSales.
how to reference another table and check whether or not it's 'Item ID' primary key is identical to the one I specified from the combo box, and then take action to update the 'Sold' field if the IDs match.
I have a table for a multiple parents linked to a child table. I need to figure out a way to only allow 1 parent to be coded as primary, 1 as secondary, and then the rest as other... I thought about making Primary/Secondary/Other a primary key. But then I can only have 1 other. I would have to make a finite number of parents that could be entered and I want an infinite number.... My end goal is to have a report that only has a primary and second parent on it, but the rest of the parents still exist in the table...
*Child_ID
Parent_First_Name
*Primary/Secondary/Other
I have what is probably a stupid question but I've been struggling with this one for a while. I have an ordering database which has an Orders table (containing Order ID, Date, Supplier etc) and an Order Line table within which I have a combo box for Product name, supplier, price, VAT rate, Line price etc. At the moment, I have the order line table as a subform within the Order form (run from the Orders table). The problem I'm having is the subtotal and total fields. At the moment these are in the Order Line table as I cannot figure out how to get these in the Orders table. In summary, can I make a calculated field in one table that calculates values from another table (linked by Order ID)?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a basic database design, well I think so anyway. It only has two tables:
1. tblClientInfo
2. tblNotes
Basically each client has multiple notes/comments that can be linked to its record, hence the tblNotes table. The two tables have a one-to-many relationship, being that each customer can have many notes.
I then have two forms:
1. Claims Loss Form
2. tblNotes_DatasheetSub1
So I can enter multiple notes for each customer. The problem I am having is with the report output. It wants to print every note (record) that is linked to the customer. I just need it to print the most recent note for each customer (It would save a lot of wasted paper).
Example of a print out of what it is doing:
John Doe - 123 Easy St - Notes 1 (Most Recent Note)
John Doe - 123 Easy St - Notes 2 (Previous Note)
John Doe - 123 Easy St - Notes 3 (and so on...)
It is printing duplicates of the same customer by adding the additional notes for that same customer on a new line.
How can I tell it to only print the customer one time in the report, and most importantly, to only use the most recent note that is linked to the customer?
I tried using DMax("NoteDate","tblNotes"), but this only returns one customer with one note. I need it to do that for each and all customers.
I have successfully ran a subquery (two queries with one linked to another) by following detailed instructions from this page I found: [URL] .... It works, but the problem is it only shows the latest date for each note, not the actual contents of the note. I feel so close with this option, but so far at the same time.
The TOP n records per group looks promising that I found here: [URL] ...., but I honestly don't know how to implement it correctly in my SQL. I am very much still learning Access and apparently have stumbled into something that is much more complicated than I had originally imagined. I just assumed I could filter the duplicates out, or tell access to print the last or most recent note record for each customer.
I have a form "frm_PatientNew" based on table "tbl_patients", this form contains a button "cmd_NewVisit" which is supposed to do the following: opens the form "frm_NewVisit" for recording a new visit for the last recorded patient in "tbl_Patients", I found many approaches depending on DMax and Dlookup and they worked fine just if "frm_NewVisit" is bound to "tbl_Patients", but "frm_NewVisit" is bound to "tbl_Main" which acts as a container for all information (patient data, visit data,service done and service provider), so the form "frm_NewVisit" contains fields from different tables. I wonder if I should create "frm_NewVisit" as unbound form, then adding fields from different tables to it and using vba to populate "tbl_Main",

I am getting the error RunTime '2105' You can't go to the specifed record.
Just converted my test database to read from a sybase linked table rather than the development local table. It reads fine but the new record button now gives the above error. I presume I need to code myself a new record function . . .
Is this what I have to do, and if so, what's the best (and quickest!) way of going about it?
thanks

Well, here's another newbie question.
First let me say, I've search this forum for as long as tolerable looking for a simular problem as mine and could not find one. I am sure this isn't the first time this question has been asked.
I have taken a few Access courses at a local college for my own personal use and have discovered that the courses albeit expensive, just covered what appears to be mere basics.
At this time, I do not understand SQL or VBA. Nonetheless, I have created a database to organize my four bookcase library.
The library consists of books & mags, records(33's, 45's and 78's), DVD's, VHS & Digital tapes, CD's(Music and software).
I have created tables for Books/Mags, Video and Music. All of which pulls required data from a list in other tables such as mediatype (Book, DVD, Record etc..), location(C1S2R which has a description field as Case 1 Second Shelf Right side area) and Genre(Country Music, Video Sci-Fi, Fiction Reading etc...).
When I query on a field such as Title, it brings back the desired results. However, when I query on a field where the data was import from another table such as Genre, the result is an empty table and yet the record truly exsist.
For instance this is the criteria I used Like ["Genre"] & "*" When prompted I typed V and expect at least one record that had Video Sci-FI listed. The result came back blank. When I just hit OK then the whole table would display and sure enough the Video Sci-Fi record would be there as well.
This is true of all the fields/data that has been pulled into the table from another table. I have tried many combinations of the criteria command to no avail.
If I can get this part to work I can quit biting my nails (or should I say nubs)
Thanx in advance mates.

Hi, All,
I have so far only worked with single tables and queries but not with linked tables. Now the following problem has arisen.
We have a database all of whose fields except two are of type = Text. Two fields are type = Memo.
We have to submit this database, i.e. its main table, to an external company for automatic 'cleansing' (UK: Telephone preference service). The cleansing program converts the cleansed database into a comma-delimited text file and returns it to us as such, and we then have to convert it back into an Access table.
(That's the way our supplier works, it is not under our control, and we have to learn to cope with it.)
Now the cleansing program is being screwed up by our Memo fields, because they contain commas. So when the cleansing program sees a comma, it interprets this as the start of a new field, and the same happens when we convert the text file back into a table.
Two solutions were suggested by the cleansing company, but only the following seems suffiently automatic and therefore acceptable to us.
I NEED HELP IN IMPLEMENTING THAT SOLUTION.
-----------------------------
I want to move the two memo columns into a separate table (memo table), linked to the original table (main table). Have the ID column (unique identifier) in both tables to keep the records together. Then I send only the main table for cleansing and the commas in the memo can no longer work havoc.
I have an idea of how to create the memo table: make a copy of the main table and then delete all columns except ID and the two memo columns.
But then I have to link the two tables (I do not know how to do that); where do I start.
I must also ensure that when new records are created (now usually through a form), both tables are expanded. And I must get information from both tables into one form.
At present I do not even know where to start, except for creating the Memo table by copying it and deleting certain columns.
I have a good book (John Viescas: Running MS Access 2000), but it is huge, and the problem is urgent (it stops our tiny company from marketing). I have no time to study the whole book to find what I need in this case. A chapter or page reference would be very useful.
Or some Tutorial on the web that deals with my particular task.
Thanks for your help.
