I've been creating a new Access application and I've run into an issue. The form I created has 2 subforms on it. The data is stored on 3 different tables related by the RMAID. The data gathered from this form needs to go into our MRP application. I have linked the necessary MRP tables to my access application. How do I get the date from the form to the tables in our MRP application? The data needs to go to 3 tables from the MRP application. Do I create an append query that's run after the user completes entering the data on the form? Thanks for any help
I have set up a table (A) that is linked to another table(B) in my database. This linked table (A) is then used in a number of queries. When the data in the original table (A) is updated it does update the data in the linked table (B) as it should. However, when I run the queries they do not bring up any records. It seems that they are not looking at an updated version of the linked table (A) because if I rebuild the query it finds the records as it should. Any advice on this would be very gratefully received.
I have an access database with a linked table to an Excel spreadsheet. I have a form based on the linked table so the presentation of the Excel date is better. The spreadsheet is used by other staff in my office to record sales which I need to register with an external organisation. What I want to do is update the spreadsheet with the registration date from my access form rather than going back into excel to do it.
I'm about to move to a back end / front end system, from a single database file. Before I do so, I want to make sure I have all bases covered so to speak.
My back end file will reside on a server. I am aware that path names are sometimes changed by network administrators without warning.
From tests, I notice that, if the path to the back end can't be found, one cannot open the front end database file at all (Access 2003).
My question is: if my back end file gets moved, or the path changed, how can I get into my front end file to update the linked tables.
I'm using Access and Excel 2007.... I know how to import an Excel spreadsheet as a table.
I have several supplier price lists in Excel. I want to keep my vendor price lists up to date.
When one of my vendors tell me that a price has changed on a particular item, I figure that I could have a form that I could use to enter the changes.
I believe the form would look like:
Field: "Vendor" (drop down list to choose from. Name of the Supplier price lists) Required. Field: "OEM" (Key Field found in each table) Required. Field: "Brand" (Field found in each table) Not required. Field: "Price" (Field found in each table) Required.
OEM would be the unique key field.
If I enter the Vendor name and then the OEM number it would show if there is already that number in the Vendor price list and I could make changes. Or I could enter new data in that vendor price list.
I have a database with a number of linked tables that are linked to tables in different databases (not a back-end).for example, I have table1 that is linked to table1 in K:databasedb1.mdb.table2 linked to table2 in S:datadata.mdb.and so on...
However, recently we have moved all our databases to a new location.
K:databasedb1.mdb is now residing in O:masterdatabase and S:datadata.mdb is now residing in O:masterdata and so on...
I'm now in charge of relinking all those tables to point to the new location.I would do this in linked table manager one by one but we have 100s of tables linked to multiple different databases in different location.is there a way to create a VBA code that will automatically do this re-linking process?
so, 1. find unlinkable tables 2. search its new location under O:master 3. re-link it to the new location
Database names and tables names have not been changed. Just the location of databases.
I have developed a Microsoft Access 2010 database for my client and the database is split with Front-end/Back-end, the Back-end and the database is shared on Network, The client operating system and applications for all users are hosted and consistent and the service is delivered over Citrix.
The database some times corrupt the tables record and give a permanent #Delete Error, I have attached one of the database table and the screenshot of the error,
I have split database (B/E is in the SharePoint library, F/E has users on a local PCs). Sometimes, when I update/add data (does not matter if it is via form or directly in the table) it looks OK, but when I re-open the database, the data are gone.
Problem is that I cannot catch the moment when data were not saved (sometimes data are saved, sometimes not). I can point out this: if I re-enter the missing data, primary key continues subsequently, it looks like the data have never been entered. I tried to use script
Code: If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False
on "On Close" form event, does not work.
B/E is linked by VBA code and it looks OK (no error, Link Manager shows correct path). I suspect interrupted connetion to the SharePoint but I don't know how to check it. I implemented VBA script co keep open connection to the SP but the issue persists.
I have linked tables from SQL Server using ODBC connection that their location never changes. I have used certain fields of those tables to create queries and make table queries to derive to the information I needed.
On these tables on SQL Server, there is new data added daily. Every day, midnight, there's new data records added of whatever transactions took place in that working day. how often do I need to refresh linked tables in this case to get the latest data added. I mean, once I am linked, the make table query using those defined fields, would it get the latest data added by default when the query is executed, or I must refresh linked tables using Linked Table Manager and then run make table query.
Also, if I want the access to automatically refresh linked tables, can I use the following code? I have added this code, and executing it through a button, but I don't see anything happen, the database becomes inactive for couple seconds (I guess while it is updating) but I don't know is it updating the tables for sure or not, though I am not receiving any error when executing the code through the button.
Function RefreshLinkedTables() Dim tdf As TableDef For Each tdf In CurrentDb.TableDefs If Len(tdf.Connect) > 0 Then tdf.RefreshLink End If Next td End Function
I have linked tables in my db at the moment that rely on user dsn connections to an SQL server. I've been reading about DSNLess connections and want to try convert what i have to have permanent DSNless connections, but the code I've found doesn't appear to be working.
I've removed server specific details where i felt necessary, but when running the code i have it in place.
Code:
Public Sub RefreshODBCLinks() Dim connString As String Dim db As DAO.Database Dim tb As DAO.TableDef connString = "DRIVER=SQL Server;SERVER=<database ip address>;DATABASE=<
I have a split database.(Access 2010).Three of the linked tables are Appointments, Appointments_OLD, Appointments_NEW.
I want to use vba to rename Appointments as Appointments_OLD (replacing the current one) and to rename Appointments_NEW as Appointments (replacing the current one)
I have used:
'replace Appointments_OLD by Appointments, replace Appointments by Appointments_NEW DoCmd.Rename "Appointments_OLD", acTable, "Appointments" DoCmd.CopyObject , "Appointments", acTable, , "Appointments_NEW"
Unfortunately this just made Appointments and Appointments_NEW clones of one another - changes in one automatically occur in the other.
What I actually want to do is to swap the names round in the backend database while maintaining the right links to the frontend.
I export data from a system to an excel spreadsheet, which is linked to my database. When I run reports in Access, is there any way to identify when the linked table was last updated? This would be useful to users if I could add a text box that shows "Data current as of" some date.
If a front-end database has links to many tables in a back-end database and the back-end is moved, is there an easy way to update all the table links in the front-end in one go, or do you have to set up all the links again one at a time?
Hoping there's a quick way...

edit: just realised the previous post asks exactly the same thing ( :o ), but that hasn't elicited a solution yet ( :( ).
I have done everything I can think of to remedy this, but I can't figure out why this is happening. I have a linked table from excel that contains 5 fields for each record. I have a table in access with matching records and 20-30 fields. The linked spreadsheet is used when adding records. I have a query that queries both tables to get all data from both and a form based on that query where others can pertinent data for the records resulting from the query. My problem is that when I open the form the new records that were added in the linked file are there but all the fields from the access table cannot be updated. I have looked every place I know to look for record locks, read only options, everything I can think of why i cannot update these records and I am coming up empty. I checked my join properties and selected the only one that actually displays the linked records when the query is run (not sure the name of the join but it's #2 of 3 join properties options (in Access 2002). maybe I am just overlooking something simple? Do you have any ideas what I can do here?
I have a form that I have linked (master/child) to a combo box on my main form. I have a requery command for the subform set to the "After Update" event on the combo box. When the combo box is updated originally, the subform updates. However, if the combo box is updated after having a value, the subform does not update.
First off, is the requery command even the right command to use to update the subform? (it's source object is a table) Second, is there a reason it wouldn't work if that is the correct command?
i have a combo box in a form, where one has to select a country for example UK is chosen, then there is a button that when clicked it opens in a pop-up form and displays all the information related to UK.
so there are two tables : Country (CountryNo : primary key) linked to CountryInfo (CountryNo: foreign key) linked with a one- to -many relationship.
my problem is when you have to add new records to the form CountryInfo, how can i make the foreign key update automatically? thus when adding data to CountryInfo, the CountryNo must be the same to the CountryNo in the CountryTable..
Hello All, I currently have a bunch of tables that I have linked to a SQL database. For development purposes (easy of use), I'd like to turn all those tables into regular tables rather than linked so if I take the db offsite, all the data is with me. I realize there will be no updates, etc. but that really doesn't matter for my needs in this case.
Is there a script or an easy way to do this? (besides doing a manual import for a LOT of tables)
I've tried searching but I might not be searching for the correct terminology.
looking for a way to export the list of table names, table types & if they are linked (e.g. tbl Sales Linked .dbf or tbl Staff linked to excel) from a database - this has to be done for about 300 databases.
in an individual db, I have a make table query off of the table MSysObjects to get the data. The Database field tells me where the source of the linked table resides & the ForeignName field gives me an idea of the format of the data source (e.g. dbf or excel). I could manually import that query into each db, run it to get the table names, then copy & paste..
I have a split database ,and I need to update the Table default value of a field.Rather than go into the table I would prefer to use a form.I found this code but it wont work,I presume becouse my data base is split
Private Sub UpdateInvoiceReportNumber_Click() If Not IsNull(Me.txtDefValue) Then CurrentDb.TableDefs("PaymentsT").Fields("SelectInv oice").DefaultValue = Me.txtDefValue MsgBox "Default Value has been changed to " & Me.txtDefValue
I have a linked Excel graph in my form. The process I go though to update them is:
User clicks on button Excel opens up Procedure in Excel runs that updates the data and the graphs Excel Closes
The user does not see any of that. This process works fine. But the linked graph does not actually update in the Access Form. To do that I run the following code:
Code: Set ctl = Me!OLEUnbound_pream With ctl ' Enable control. .Enabled = True ' Set Locked property to False. .Locked = False ' Set Verb property to activate for editing, but not visible .Verb = acOLEVerbShow .Action = acOLEActivate End With
The problem I get is that once .Action = acOLEActivate is ran, Excel opens. I don't understand why it does that and how do I close it.
1. I have linked a table which does not allow me to update any entries. 2. In this linked table I have to update one column that contains all null values 3. I have another table that contains the values required for that one column in the linked table
When I try running an update query after doing an Inner Join, i get the Operation must use an updateable query error...is there ANY work around at all ? Please let me know . any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a linked table tblHome which is stored in a Sql Server DB and I want to create a form with 3 fields in it i.e. fieldA, fieldB, and FieldC in it and a button.
I want to add values to fields fieldA and fieldB and fieldC and when I click the button I want the value in fieldA to update any records in the linked table tblHome which contains the values in fields fieldB and FieldC.
I have one database called asset management. It consists of one main table called cyber assets. Most fields in this table are linked to a manually created lookup table inorder to restrict user input. There are also two additional, none lookup, tables used to list a) the IP addresses (there can be more than one) and b) another similar 1 to many type table. Basically this DB is used to manage basic cyber asset data, excluding most items related to configuration management.
So, this above DB serves the purposes of asset management. Now I essentially need a similar DB for Patch Management. What I've done for this is to assess each patch initially (i.e. just by looking at the patch title and determining if we even have any of those device. i.e. this assessment is not based on OS, model number... just a general 'may' or 'may not' be applicable). Here's what this SEPARATE DB looked like:
Since each patch is essentially assessed against itself, or maybe a better way to describe it is against the users memory of what we do and don't have, only a single table and form was needed.
So now we've been thru this process and the DB is filled, all initial assessments are complete. The next step is to take all the ones that are applicable to our company (based on the initial assessment when you answer, yes is applicable) and do assessments based on each device we have.So what I want to do is to link the two DBs on a new table called Patches_by_device, inside the original patching DB... so the relationships would look like this:
But as you can see, the linked table CYBER_ASSETS has some sort of undefined relationship type, which is causing my issues.So the next thing I did was to autocreate a form based on the Patches_by_device table, and here's the result.I need to change the patch_key to the Patch_ID+Patch description+URL, etc, and to change the device key to the the UNID+IP+functional description, etc...so I changed the form record source like this:
Now I should be able to change the control source of the Patch_key and Device_key to more useful information. so I changed: Patch_key control source to Patch_ID and Device_key control source to UNID (which is in the cyber assets table)
As you can see, it worked for the patch_ID but not the UNID which is part of the linked table.Must it be within one DB, because we have a ton of other modules to implement (e.g. config management, vulnerability assessments, audit stuff, and more...) and I'd like all these to be in individual DBs, all liked back to the main cyber_assets/Asset management DB.I've considered just modifying that patch table so that each device has its own column heading in the table, but this will cause issues when new devices are added.
I am taking over a database someone else created but is no longer here. The tables are linked to an external oracle database. I know the links exist because when I run a query it prompts me for my user name and password. However, the tables look like regular tables. There is no icon showing it's a linked table so I don't know which tables are actually linked and pulling from the Oracle database.
