Temporary Table Names
Aug 1, 2006
Hi there
I'm new to this so please be patient!
I have developed an Access database which produces financial reports based on a date range which the user specifys, taking the data from a SQL server. He chooses his dates and then runs a macro which creates the new tables, overwriting previous tables. Numerous financial reports run on these tables so I need to keep the table names the same.
The problem is that only one user can access the DB at anytime because the new user can't delete the other users table becuase it may be based on a different date range.
I'm open to suggestions but maybe what I need to so is create tables which are based on the user id when he logs in to the Access database so that he doesn't delete someone elses table. How can I do this please!!!???
Thanks in advance

I would like to create a "global" temp table that can be viewed by all users. The syntax is:
Create [TEMPORARY] TABLE tablename (field type)
QUESTION1:
When I put the optional [TEMPORARY] in, I get a syntax error...
Create [TEMPORARY] TABLE t (ID int)
I've tried...
Create TABLE [t] (ID int)
Is that the same as doing this???
Create TABLE t (ID int)
Can someone clear up my syntax?
QUESTION2:
If i can create a temp table when does the table go away? When I close access? Do I have to delete it?
Can someone clear this up? Thanks.

For my inventory DB, when creating a purchase order, I need to store all transaction in a temporary folder and give a temporary number to PO and after finalisation only all data should be appended to main po table with new po number that will be last+1. And all data from temporary tables should be deleted. Like an air ticket is generated, first checks all details, give seat location also and if "Committed" gives the final ticket with no
Any idea about structural configuration and type of queries to be used

Hey again.
Asked a question last time that might've been a little too complicated but I've made a lot of progress since then. :)
I've a form which I enter weekly data into which I have transferring into a temporary table. At the bottom of this form I've got a button which runs an update query which takes the entries from the temporary table and adds them to the main table.
(I'm doing a fantasy football league. An example is that if I enter that a player has recieved one yellow card in the weekly data, when I update the main table it will add one yellow card onto the total, etc.)
The problem I need help with is that I find that I need to get the temporary table to wipe itself as soon as I press the button to update the main table. Is there a way I can work it into the update query, or will it need to be done seperately?
Thanks.
(I have searched for this kind of thing, and found a topic that was dealing with VBA. From what was posted it didn't seem to relate to my problem, so I decided a new topic would be my best bet to get some help.)

I'm trying to put values into a temporary table for the user to view the work behind a returned calculated value.
Here is my code:
Code:
Sub SearchPartNumber_Entered()
Dim txtPartNumber As Variant
Dim rst As Recordset
Dim rstt As Recordset
Dim u As Variant
[code].....
How do I put all values under all 'u' 's into one table?

I'm making a library database program thing... There's an option for the user to view all books on loan.
I have two tables:
Books, which has columns ID*, ISBN, Author, Title, Year, Location
BorrowerStorage, which has columns Book ID, Name, Email Address, Desk Number
Book ID in BorrowerStorage is related to the Books primary key.
Now, for the viewing all books on loan, I want it to produce a read only table which contains all the entries from the BorrowerStorage table and the corresponding Title/Author columns (i.e. the records for which the ID in Books column = BookID in Borrower Storage column)...

I'm trying to create a temp table, which is populated by a string, (taken from a recordset).
My problem is incorporating the String into the SQL statment, and making it work,
What I'm trying to do is to create a temp table, and populate it with the first record of the recordset, (which is an e-mail address).
(The recordset and the strings work fine). It's the SQL statement which doesn't work.
Here's the code I have :
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Set DBS = CurrentDb
Set RST = DBS.OpenRecordset("SELECT Contact FROM Contacts_to_be_Mailed")
Dim My_Count As Long
Dim ContactString As String
RST.MoveFirst
ContactString = RST(0)
Dim strTable As String
strTable = "TempContact"
DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT * INTO " & strTable & " FROM ContactString "

I'm trying to insert 10% of a dataset from dbo_billing into another table Random_Temp. Another form is open when this query is to be ran that passess in the billyear and billmonth... I'm sure it's a syntax issue as I can isolate the random number part and it displays the appropriate data, I just can't re-write it to insert into the other table:
INSERT INTO Random_Temp ( indx, peopleId, audited )
SELECT TOP 10 PERCENT b.indx, b.peopleId, b.audited
FROM dbo_Billing AS b
WHERE (((b.billYear)=[Forms]![billing]![billyear]) AND ((b.billMonth)=[Forms]![billing]![billmonth]) AND ((b.recertifying)=-1))
ORDER BY Rnd(-(1000*b.indx)*Time());

2. I also want to create another List Box or Grid (or any thing that will show table data) that when i have select a Table Name (See above (1)) it will show all the data in that table in the List Box. Was thinking some kind of SQL using vba to populate the list box?
Any ideas or help will be much appreciated

Is it possible to have the field names in a table be set by the values in another table? The desire being that for a database used in various locations, the local variations could be changed in one table which would then propagate that change throughout all the forms, reports, tables etc.

Can somebody point me in the direction of a good website to find out about how temporary tables are used?
We have one that picks up all fields in table except one and I have no idea how the information is gathered or where it comes from.
Thanks.

I have a form with several data fields on it. I also have a button on the form that allows the user to duplicate a record . The reason for this duplication is so that if there will be an additional client record for the same customer, but only one piece of data will need to be changed, it's easier to copy the record and then change the one field.
However, I am getting the following message:
"some of the field names you tried to paste don't match fieldnames on the form"
and then not all data in all fields gets duplicated.
I need to figure this out, but am going nuts with it. If anyone has an idea or two they'd care to toss my way, I would be happy.
Thanks one more time, in advance!!

Hellow,
Little question, hopefully not a big answer :)
i have four oracle db'ses mydb_db_test, mydb_db_production, mydb_db_develop
within access i have linked tables from the first one; let's say: mydb_db_test.tblOne, mydb_db_test.tblTwo
What i want to do is:
1) import the same tables from the other trhee db'ses
2) rename the table names by vba code
example: my_db_db_test.tblOne has to become tblOne
and when i switch from db (to for example the production), the tblOne has to be renamed originally (mydb_db_test.tblOne) and the other has to be renamed (so mydb_db_production.tblOne becomes tblOne).
Now the question which you probably ask me:
Why not by a connection string change...
Well, that's the problem, the linked tables are being set to readonly, and the property cannot be changed (at least, as far as i tried); so that's why i thought of this workaround. By linking all three databases, i also always have for those table the three connection strings, and by renaming them (i now do this manually) i always can pick the right connection.
Thanks in advance for the advise!

Hi, I have an Access database that I would like to do a mass Table Name change. Reason is, all tables start with Data.<table name> so one table is called Data.Names and I would like it to be called just Names. I can manually do this but there are over 600 tables. Would take some time.
Please let me know if there is a script or how I can approach this. Maybe I could loop through each table name where it finds "Data." and strip that part out.
Thanks

Hi,
In our database, we have a table called change_log which is to be filled in whenever someone adds/removes columns from a table in the database or modifies column properties.
One of the columns in the change_log table contains the name of the table which was changed. To avoid typos and misspellings, I would like to create a dropdown which displays all table names in the database. Can this be done programmatically?
Thanks.
