I have several clients using the same database structure. If I do any upgrades or mods I currently manually add the new fields to each database. Is there an easier way?
Is there an easy way to upgrade a whole MS Database based on another? Can I either import just the new structure and not duplicate tables; or export and then import to my new blank database with the new structure?
Hy all,
i have created a database with access 2003 that now experience some slowness problem. i have concluded that is a table that is becomed to big, but i can't delete any record...
it should help me upgrade the database to MSDE? if yes someone could help me?

My company has finally bitten the bullet and decided to upgrade their systems before their software goes out of date for user support. However, this means that they are about tio upgrade from Office 97 to Office 2003 running on a Windows 2000 operating system.
How much of an issue am I going to face in converting my databases into the new format. I realise there will be DAO/ADO issues but is there going to be anything else? I am acutely aware that I will be having to sort databases out across the whole company nationwide and the fewer surprises, the better.
Has anyone been through this and if so what were the issues?
Regards
Jason
We have added new columns to a table in our developer db. Now we need to get these columns into the client's system.
Their computer is running on Access runtime, so if we change our existing Access db into a Mde would it be possible to upgrade their database with the changes without corrupting any of the client's data? We're quite happy to overwrite the forms, queries etc. but what happens to the client's data? especially when we have made some changes to the database schema e.g added new columns to the table?
We'd be grateful for any help.
Hi :)
(A2K format, but running on XP, etc)
I have used Microsoft’s Security FAQ and recommendations on this forum and build a split database; secured with one worgroup file for development and one for customers: what is the most appropriate way to upgrade the backend database content (tables mostly) (as the front-end database can just be replaced) at the customers site?
At the customer there is no development workgroup file, so no permissions to change database objects. I would really like to run sql updates from the new FE database. The solution I currently have devised to go around this problem, involves a lot of manual data moving code, to take care of referential integrity etc. However this approach has a higher risk of creating errors and also takes a lot longer time.
Is there something I have misunderstood of the Security FAQ or recommendation on this forum?
Thanx
:)
I have upgraded an Access 2003 application to 2007. However whenever I go to edit the code in 2007 it reprots that the project is locked. I can't find how to unlock it anywhere? Can anyone help please....

We have been using a shared database (on the server and it's not spilt) that was converted to MDE file and was created in Access 2003, without any issues for more than 5 years now.
Since we upgraded our office to 2010 (and access 2010) all the sudden the autonumber field starts generates a number that is about 40 to 50 records less than what is should generates. All the records for the missing 40 to 50 numbers are still there and we can search them.
The only work around is to run the database and open a new data entry form (at which time the autonumber field will generates a new number) then close the form, and we keep doing that until we reach the number that should be generated next.
I want to lock the view of certain tables and queries so that users could not perform any change at their own. Is there any way in VB to protect it with password....
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am having a problem with my queries or tables... I am not even sure which of the two I am not doing right.
The test query I have written is really a simple one so I am not sure if anything can wrong with it.
I have 3 tables with one - one to many relationship
and 1 many-to-many relationship (IN access it's 3 entities + 1 relationship tables).
All I am trying to is to see "conclusion_id"s associated with "INT_Reg_no" used in query.
For example I want to see "conclusion_id" associated with "INT_Reg_no" 1.1.
When I put this in I should get 2 conclusion numbers (Conclusion_id 1 and 2) but I only get one (Conclusion_id 2).
Can someone help me with this?
Thanks,

I am new'ish to access, although we have had an SQL server 2000 backend for some time, it has purely been used for our MIS systems, now I want to develop using Access 2003 as the front end, and SQL as the backend, however, I don't know the most effective way to link to the data on SQL, I can use either linked tables through Access, or not use linked tables and just send SQL queries to the server using vba code, I am not sure which would be the best solution to creating a new application.
Any ideas whether I should use linked tables or fire off vba SQL queries ?
cheers

Hi All,
Is there any standard Access functionality which can tell me which tables are used in each of my queries.
Failing that has anyone ideas on some query I could develop or code that I could write which would give the required output.
Thanks,

I have created a query from two tables. One table is Job information the other is job notes. How do i populate the query with the job # and job prefix from the job information table? I have the query(field) structure I want but its just gives me blank fields in the query form. How do I populate the fields with the info from the tables?
Thank you!
Ok this might be a really stupid question, but in the quest to always make my life a little bit easier thought i would ask !
I have been asked to find the relationship between a number of tables and queries, so that this company can find out which tables and fields in tables are no longer really used, in other words how many queries and which ones is table A used in if you understand what I mean !
doing it manually means checking every query (and there are a lot !!) and seeing which table they use.. what I want to know is what is the quickest way to to this? can I do it from the table end? in others find out how many queries Table A is used in ? or do I have to go through each query individually? if this is the case my thoughts were just on copying and pasting the sql view from every query into a a word or txt doc and then doing a search /find for each table name? but if anyone has a more efficient idea on how to do this if u cld let me know !! :confused:
Hello Friends
I have 100 tables and now I changed the name of tables due to some reasons. Now I must to replace the names in other database objects.Is there any option that can reduce the work load because otherwise it is a tiring job to replace it manually.
Not sure what happened here.
I now have an empty (277MB) shell in which I cannot see any tables or queries.
The event occurred when the db automatically began to "Compact and Repair" in the middle of creating a new query. Any thoughts?
I have a database that has been developed by a consultant. Unfortunately the database contains look-up tables. Obviously when I query it returns and references the codes for the lookup field rather than the lookup field value. Unfortunately I am unable to change the database to remove lookup fields/tables. How can I get around this to produce tables with the lookup field value or perhaps reproduce the old tables (without just cut and paste) to then conduct my queries. Am I missing something simple as I am fairly new to Access development.
Regards,
Deesy.
I've been asked to make a DB for our production. We have 2 sources, of which have similar field names and collect completely different data, but can not be linked. I don't want them to be linked either, I don't think. The only thing I want to do is to take the 2 tables I have from my 2 sources and combine them into one. I'm using the first table in a make table query and then creating blank fields in the query also, so I can append the data from the second source in the "all production" table. The only problem I'm running into is that I can only get to 26 fields in the make table query, I need 31 fields to get everything. I tried creating a new query and not using any tables, and I was able to get to 16 fields. Is there something I'm doing wrong, or is there another way I can get a table created will all fields I need and append the data from both sources? I would need to be able to re-run this daily which is why I was trying to do it through a query. Thanks for any help/ideas. It's greatly appreciated!
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a query where I am trying to set the where criteria expression using an unlinked table. The unlinked table name is INV DATES. The criteria field is [THE_DATE].

Any ideas?

I currently have a query and a table which I'd like to create a form for. The query has people's information in it and the table has RSVP information in it (if they need parking, etc.). I'd like to create a form so that I can type in the person's name and then it brings up their address (just to confirm it's the right person) and then i can enter in the RSVP information. Any suggestions?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI`m trying to put 2 identical tables in terms of structure and layout with some identical values next to each other however I don't have unique identifier. I was thinking to import them and let access to create Id field and match them together but i wasn't successful because for some reason access changed the order of some rows. Good news is that when I import these text files into excel Im able to put them next to each other in order. How this could be achieved in Access?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have datasets in tables for some price data, which is monthly. Each month there is a list of unique ID codes for the products ("CAP Codes") and then a price for that product ("LM Retail").The table names are simple dates (2010 01, 2010 02 etc) I want to have a query which would create a table which follows the price of each product through the months. All of that would be simple except not all of the products appear every month, so when I set up a simple link between them all it only outputs products which appear every month. Is there a way that it'll keep the products with just some prices - leaving a blank in the table created when there isn't a price that month?

This is just simple example, actually i have many table January until December. So when i key in data using form on every month, I want just 1 queries covering all month, so easier to check.
I have a database with the following tables:
- data
- datamodifications
- mergeddata
The "data" table is imported from a large excel file (about 5000 rows and 40 columns) and needs to be updated about once a year. The idea is to use the "datamodifications" table to store all modifications and then merge "datamodifications" and "data" into "mergeddata", so when i have to update the "data" table next year i can just remerge it with my modifications. My problem is that i cant merge the two without getting dupliace entries. I have tried with this query but it gives me duplicate entries:
Code:
SELECT col1, col2, col3
FROM data
UNION
SELECT col1, col2, col3
FROM datamodifications
ORDER BY col1;
How can i remove the duplicate entries (or is there a better way than actually writing SQL to do what i want do to?
I have two tables which I need to change stock levels. I have one table that has the stock levels as of now and another table that shows stock levels from yesterday. I need to produce a txt file so that it checks both stock levels and if the NOW stock level is different to the Yesterday stock level it shows only these items so that I can update them.
