I want to know if it possible to use MS Excel instead of web application (ASP, HTML,...) that is connected to MS Access and will update MS Access as user update information on MS Excel?
If it possible how I should get started b/c I kind of have a template for Excel. I just need to learn connecting excel to MS Access and maintain them.
I have an access database that has fields that i want to be entered externally via excel. I want to be able to manipulate the data from access and excel. If you change in one, it will reflect the change in the other.
I want this to happen seemlessly, with a notification to either end when either end is changed.
Linking to an excel sheet from access doesn't seem to work because you can not change anything in the fields that were entered in excel from access.
I have also tried creating a connection from excel to access. I can change the data in access and it reflects in excel, but if i change the field data in excel, it doesn't reflect in access.
Dear All
I want to connect an Excel table with an Access table so when I make changes to excel table these changes to appear in the access table and use the access table for my web site.
The excel table looks like:
Room Type01/05/06-06/06/06 07/06/06-15/07/06
21/09/06-30/09/0601/10/06-31/10/06
* Standard Single 26 34
* Standard Double 44 59
* Standard Triple 60 80
When I try to connect this table with access I am getting an error reffering to the second line of the excel table where there are not numbers but dates.
The access connected table looks like:
Room Type01/05/06-06/06/06 07/06/06-15/07/06
#Number! #Number!
* Standard Single 26 34
* Standard Double 44 59
* Standard Triple 60 80
Any idea how I can solve this problem?
Hi all,
hope someone can help me with this.
Before we moved webhosting company we could have external access to our MySql database which was great as our MS Access system would periodically pull data from our MySql site (namely customer enquiries which were entered via a form on our website) and dump them in our MS Access live quotes table all automatically.
With our current host (which seems to be the norm from my web-searches) they only allow local access to the MySql system.
My question is, how can I oversome this hurdle without having to move hosting company. I really don't want to move again as it's a real pain.
All suggestions welcome.

Hi there,
I have a little problem: And hope somebody can give me an answer.
I have two tables, one form and on the form I have two textboxes. One of the textboxes should be connected to ONE table and field, and the other textbox to the OTHER table and field.
I tryed to conect through the expression builder but had not much luck! See code below.
This code comes up in the ControlSource property section and textbox also:
=[tbl_CompanyContact]![CompanyPhoneNumber]
=[tbl_PrivateContact]![PrivatePhoneNumber]
Where do I set in properties the connection to different tables i.e. tbl_CompanyContact / tbl_PrivateContact and where the connection to the field CompanyPhoneNumber / PrivatePhoneNumber.
Thanks aktell
I've just set up my Access on a new PC and now when I try to connect to my MySQL database through odbc, Access crashes without any error messages, just the standard microsoft error reporting message.
I'm using Office 2003. What do I do??
My office workstation took a very long time to connect to database in Access 2003 after upgrading to Windows XP, a few minutes need to be taken just to open a simple form which normally takes less than 10 seconds. In simple words, whenever it has to retrieve data from the db, it will be super lagging .
The rest of the workstations running on Windows 2000 were running perfectly fine.
The database is located on the host pc, which is running Windows 2000.
Initially we suspected that it might be because of the insufficient RAM. Thus it was changed from 1GB to 2GB. But even after changing to 2GB, the problem still exists.
Can anyone please advice me on how to check and rectify this problem? What can be the cause of this problem?
I am connecting Access to QuickBooks with the QODBC. I tried to do this in MS Access 2010 with Windows 7 and it worked fine. Then I tried it on a new computer with MS Access 2013 and Windows 7. Now, when the VBA gets to the line:
oConnection .Open "DSN=Quickbooks Data;OLE DB Services=-2"
It crashes. No message, other than the generic "Access has stopped working" message. I am using ADO for the oConnection. I am not sure what the problem is or how to diagnose it. I have used an ADO connection to connect to Excel, and that worked fine, so my guess is it have something to do with the DSN connection?
In addition to my Intro to Access class, I am taking a Web Programming class, which has the same general assignment, but for Web pages, instead of an Access database; create at least 3 pages, 1 each for financial data, customer relations and product/service info.
I would like to create a small Access database connected to a Web page. I won't have a server, but I can run everything off a computer. I have a book that tells me the steps to do all this, but I'm supposed to install MS SQL Server (I chose to download MS SQL Express Server), and I can't get Access to talk to it. Among other things, I noticed that I could not stop SQL Server, nor could I start SQL Browser. I did enable TCP/IP (I think). I uninstalled the whole thing, thinking I could start from scratch.
How to publish my database on a Web page.
I am coding an ASP front end for an Access database. I actually had it working yesterday but I still had some tweaks to make. My development has come to a stand still because of this crazy error I awoke to this morning. I went to the url of my ASP page and all of a sudden I get this error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]General error Unable to open registry key 'Temporary (volatile) Jet DSN for process 0xbac Thread 0xc84 DBC 0x19e6fc4 Jet'.
So after doing some research, I decided to change my connection string to use Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0
Once I changed over to the Jet driver, I got this error message:
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
Could not find installable ISAM.
I am totally stumped with this problem. I actually re-upped the database and it started working briefly but the error message soon returned. Everything I am reading is saying to change permisions and change some stuff in the registry but since it was working fine yesterday, I do not believe it is a registry setting.
Any ideas?
I just created a database and need to connect it to the data source. The data comes from a http website (intranet from work). When I open the link using firefox, I can view the website with the data in it, but when I open it from Internet Explorer, I get a save as pop-up message to save a csv file which contains all the data. The extension of the http website ends with csv. So it is something like http (slash slash...) Intranetname/referral_dbase.csv
Currently, I am opening the file using firefox, copying all the data manually, and pasting it in a text file using notepad. After that, I import the file into access. The delimiter of the data is this symbol: |
I am trying to find a way to link my database to the website where the data is located so that I can skip the manual process of opening the website and copying the data and saving it into a text file and then importing that file into access. I was thinking to have like a form in access with a bottom that will automatically import that data from this link and paste it into a table in access using the delimiter symbol mentioned above.
Is this too complicated? Is it even possible in access 2010?
I am using Excel and Access 2010.
I have an excel spreadsheet with 8 tabs. They are all in the same format and column order. They are employees grouped by region. My ultimate goal is to merge all of these onto one excel tab, relatively instantly. I created a master tab and tried doing array formulas and Vlookups, it worked but my spreadsheet was way too slow.
My solution? Import and link them to an Access database, step complete. Create an XML export then import into Excel.
My problem? The only way to update the excel tab with the combined tabs is to save the excel file after changes, go back into Access, re-export to XML, then go back into excel and refresh the data.
My questions, is there any way to automate this process to the point that I can change excel, save, then hit refresh on my excel tab with the XML import to auto-update?
Is it possible to connect a Document to the Access Database. To have a button beside the field in the form allowing you to browze and connect the document. If not does anyone have a way around this. Any help would be well appreciated.

I'm having a problem in Access where I'm trying to connect 2 tables together.
On one table is all the information of the person, the other table is a list from 1-50. That list is a drawing of all the peoples ID number for a drawing. When I type in their ID next to what order they got picked in is there any way where All of their information comes with that ID number they have? I really need help on this.
Hi there, I'm currently writing an accounting system and i got stuck with this section of trying to produce the account name in a query.
i have four tables
tblPurchase
PurchaseID -Number
tblAccounts
AccountID - Number
AccountName - Text, usually has names like asset, cost of sales, expense, telephone, electricity, etc...
tblItems
ItemID, Number
AssetNum (tblAccounts.AccountName foreign key1), Number
ExpenseNum(tblAccounts.AccountName foreign key2), Number
IncomeNum(tblAccounts.AccountName foreign key3), Number
tblPurchaseLines
PurchaseNum (foreign key for tblPurchase.PurchaseID), Number
ItemNum (foreign key for tblItems.ItemID), Number
My question is how can i generate the query with the following fields:
PurchaseID
ItemID
AccountName of AssetNum
AccountName of ExpenseNum
AccountName of IncomeNum
I am aware that the query would produce three PurchaseID's for every ItemID it would encounter for every PurchaseLine.
Please point me in the right direction.
i need help connecting to an access database using java.
any help with this would be great because i am lost.
So, here's my problem: I'm doing a database on my DVDs, and I wanted to add as much info as I can about them. But I have some problems with "actors", as you know one actor can be in several movies and one movie has several actors.
I want to put the actors in their own table and movies in their own. I know how to link them together, but I don't know how to link them together so that actors could be in more than one movie and movie could have more than one actor.
Hope that even someone understands my question since my english ain't so good..
Hello All,
I'm somewhat new to working with ASP and very new to databases, MS Access, and SQL.
What works is opening my .mdb file, which connects through an ODBC DSN to get dynamic data. Nothing fancy.
What I'm trying to do is create a web interface via ASP to access certain data and fields in the db.
Here are the super-noob questions...Do I need a version of MS Access and the .mdb file on my webserver (where the .asp file is)? I don't have the ODBC DSN set up on the webserver (which is linux). Does that need to be done before anything will work?
Let me know if code snips would be of any assistance. Thanks much, in advance!

I work in an office where we do testing with clients . I want to create a database that can create a unique report for each client on the testing results.I envision a database with at least three tables. The first table would be client demographic information with a unique ID field (CID). The second table would be the Appointment information (date, referral source, etc.). The third table will have the test results (although I'm wondering if I should have a table for each test).
Sometimes, we see clients more than once, and so need the ability to have more than one appointment record for each client. For each appointment, we would record test results.I have created a one-to-many relationship between the Client Demographics and the Appointment tables. When I created the form for the Client Demographics, I inserted a subform for the Appointment. That works great. The CID automatically transfers to the Appointment record and instantly connects the two.How do I connect the Test Results table so that the CID automatically transfers to the Test Results record as well as the Appointment Date field from the Appointment Table.
Greetings,
I'm using flash mx and MDM zinc which i assume connects using the JET rather than ADO database engine.
For the life of me cannot get a simple update to work due to the dates
involved, lost count how many hours have gone by trying!!!
Within access I can easily switch quotes and hash symbols and all SQL THREE SQL queries work without problems on my database i.e.
UPDATE UserOverallResults
SET Results = 20
WHERE UserName ='Robbie'
AND Quizdate= '19/2/2008 12:15'
UPDATE UserOverallResults
SET Results = 20
WHERE UserName ='Robbie'
AND Quizdate= "19/2/2008 12:15"
UPDATE UserOverallResults
SET Results = 20
WHERE UserName ='Robbie'
AND Quizdate= #19/2/2008 12:15#
Within the database the fields are defined as :-
Results (Integer) Username (Text) and QuizDate (Date/Time) within MS ACCESS DB schema.
in Flash MX TextDate param is a STRING and All parmaters are populated appropriately (see this later in error message).
Example of existing date data stored in database in format "19/02/2008
16:48:11" as a DATE/TIME field.
My code within in flash is :-
mdm.Database.MSAccess.runQuery("UPDATE UserOverallResults SET Results = " +
UserScore + " WHERE UserName = '"+ UserName +"' AND QuizDate = '" +textDate
+ "' ");
I've tried with and without Hashes still no joy ..
mdm.Database.MSAccess.runQuery("UPDATE UserOverallResults SET Results = " +
UserScore + " WHERE UserName = '"+ UserName +"' AND QuizDate = Format( '"+
textDate +"', "#yyyy\-mm\-dd hh:nn:ss#")");
The error message I get from the code above is ..
SQL Query has failed for the following reason: Data type mismatch in
criteria expression SQL statement: UPDATE UserResultsOverall SET Results =
30 WHERE UserName = 'd' AND QuizDate = Format('19/2/2008 19:4:35'
,"#yyyy-mm-dd hhnss#")
My text string removes the leading zeros not sure if that would cause an
issue or not (its doesnt in MS ACCESS running query) ...
Anyone have any ideas??? Losing my mind here !!
PS I had problems using '&' instead of '+' to concatenate fields.
Cheers
Rob
