I'm accessing an iSeries database with MS Access and Client Access ODBC driver. This works fine for reports and such, but not for editing or updating.
Trying to use edit queries, I get error 3073 (..must use an updatable query). But if I just open a table in Access and don't use a query, you should be able to edit directly into the table. But for me, this isn't possible.:confused:
What could be the problem?
I have an MS Access 2007 desktop database that has been in use for many years. Of the numerous tables, I have three tables that now require users to update some fields via the web. I do not want to move to SQLServer Express, SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL... as they are not my skill set.
My question is what is the best architecture to achieve this end so I can automate the presentation data from my desktop to the web pages and have any updates appear back on the desktop?
Is there a way to edit/replace tables in a query after you've copied the query? Basically, I have created a query and would like to copy the quesry. However, I would like to easily change some of the tables within the query. Is there a way to edit/replace the tables?
Thanks

Yes, its in excel, im lazy :P
Data similar to this is imported into the database I am creating for my users. If you notice, in the servername field, some records have no information. Those records imply that the servername above it is the servername in question. Is there any way, via SQL to say something to the effect of:
If the previous records servername field is 'Server 1' then fill in the servername field for the current record with 'Server 1'
Ive thought about transferring the entire table into an array in VBA, and trying to manipulate it that way, since the data is never going to exceed a full page or so. However, im not even sure how to do that yet :P
Any insight would be stellar! Thank you.
I have a commitment table in my database, and normally people will input commitments through a form.
However each month I will have a flat file upload from excel directly into the Commitment Table, these will be up to 1500 lines. (they are downloads from other systems, that we want to have in our database and i can't link directly to these systems).
I created a macro to do this, and attached it to a button and tested it and it works fine.
My issue is this, once I've uploaded it once, next month what I would like to happen is when I upload it again that it changes the original commitment should any of the details be different or it inserts a new commitment if it didn't already exist. (After I have uploaded the original data, I can download it to get the commitment ID to attach to the excel files if necessary.)
I have the logical process, but I just don't know how to put it into code.
I have a form with two boxes HireMovieID and HireCustomerID, with a button HireButton.
The two tables which I have are CustomerInfo and MovieList.
Here's the psuedocode for what I need to happen:
Code:
IF HireMovieID.Genre = "R16"
(IF DOB > Today - 16 years)
Display Error: "Too young"
ELSE Hire()
[Code] ....
I need to somehow make it so that the MovieID is valid, as in, if it doesn't exist then it comes up with an Error MsgBox.
I have ODBC linked tables to a DB2 database.When I try to edit the values in some of the tables (open the table in dataview and edit one record) I get a 3021 Error -No current record.On other tables (linked the same way) I don't get this error
If I try the update by running a query on the same table, I get no errors.
The system I have is a german Access 2010 on german WinXP and a connection to DB2 LUW v9.7
Is there any set of settings necessary for ODBC to work with access and vice versa?
I am using a template database that I downloaded from the Microsoft Access template website and have been modifying it and adding new forms and tables etc. I have used the forms wizard to create a number of new forms to edit a number of the tables. The forms are "split forms".I can't seem to get many of the forms to stay the size that I set them to! They seem to have a mind of their own and often when I think that I have sized them correctly, I then open the form and they display in full screen mode or larger!

I upgraded to Access 2000 and now I cannot edit my table and make changes, etc. The table is not locked.
Why?:confused:
Hi all, I have a search form that pulls data from a query. The data is displayed in a subform. I would like the user to be able to edit the data from the subform. I have set all the allow properties to yes and it still doesn't work. Does this problem have anything to do with relationships.
Thanks to all, this forum has been a great help for me.
I have a form called contractors. It works exactly like I want it but it won't let me edit it. The form is based on a query. I have checked the query as stated to do on some areas of this forum and I am able to change it by typing something in a field and it also updates the form for me but I can't edit the form directly. I have allow edits, allow deletions, allow additions set to yes and I have no locks on it. Any ideas?
I have also checked help in access on this to no avail. I am attaching the database so somebody can hopefully help me.

I've got a project where an existing access db is being converted for use on a web site.
Our problem is that several of the macros apparently reference an 'S:' drive.
Is there any way I can edit these macros to change / remove the drive reference?
A few years ago a consultant created a database for my company and trained one person on how to use it. Unfortunately, this person shortly left and the system was never used! I would like to get the system up and running, however I am a complete novice with Access and although I have figured out the basics I am having trouble with the one form that we use to enter data. Two of the drop-down or combo boxes must be completed by the person entering data in order for the record to be saved. How do we turn off this mandatory setting for each combo box? Or how do we add an option to the combo box that at least says N/A if the data enterer does not have the information on hand?
this is driving me crazy!!!

I have just finished my first access database, well almost, one problem- I can't edit or type anything on my database when I am using a link to an xml workbook. If I just import the xml file to use on my database I can edit and save it but not when I used a linked xml worksheet. If I change the xml file entries in Excel, the changes appear on the linked database but it won't work the other way around - I can't even type anything in any of the fields. What have I done wrong and how can I remedy this problem? Any help would be much appreciated.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to only let one user at a time edit or save to the table in the back end of my database? For example; I want it to pop up and say "you dummy there is another person with this file open"
Can I do this just incase two people try to edit the same table information???
Hi, I have a form called Edit Column, which contains two text boxes: ID and Description. The user types something in these two boxes and presses a button, and this button should take the value of ID and edit description for that particular ID in the table "Map". Here is the code I have written for it:
Dim d As Database
Set d = CurrentDb
Dim r As Recordset
Set r = d.OpenRecordset("Map")
r.MoveFirst
If r! = Me.Text1 Then [I]('Text1 is the text box where the user enters an ID)
Do While Not r.EOF
r.Edit
r![Description] = Me.Text3
r.Update
r.MoveNext
Loop
MsgBox "Successful", vbInformation
Else
MsgBox "This column does not exist in the Store", vbCritical
End If
Thanx in Advance
I have searched the forum and didnt find an answer to this.
I have an Edit Form. When it is opened, it displays the first record.
I have a Combo Box where I select the specified ID and the relevant record is displayed in the form.
What I want is that the Edit Form should be appear blank. The record data should appear only when I select the relevant ID in the Combo Box.
How do I achieve this? Please help.

I've created an ADP project containingnumerous tables. One (and only one!) table in the set will not open in edit mode while in Access. Here are the particulars:
1) The table was created from scratch in SQL Enterprise Manager,
2) The table is editable in SQL Enterprise Manager,
3) The table permissions appear to be set correctly (and are the same as all the other tables which all allow editting in Access)
4) I open the Access project and double-click the table. The "add record" navigation button is disabled, and any attempt to edit a field elicits a "This recordset is not updatalbe" error.
5) However, I can open the table in Design mode in Access, make changes, and save them.
Any ideas? This is very frustrating!

SELECT idAuswertung, fiPrüffeld, fiAuswertungMaster, fiAuswertungTyp, AuswertungName, AuswertungSort, AuswertungActive, (SELECT COUNT ([idDiagramm]) FROM tkey_Diagramm WHERE fiAuswertung = [idAuswertung] ) AS AnzDiagramm
FROM tkey_Auswertung;
Why can I not edit the results when I use the Subquery above?
Without the Subquery all works fine.

I have a query that gives me data from a table, and I then export it as text to Excel. In Excel I do some edits, insert columns with special characters as delimiters, then copy it into a JScript data set.
This all takes some time, and has a number of steps that need to be done in a certain order - prone to errors on my part...Is it possible to use VBA to make the changes in the query to reduce the manual steps perhaps even to remove Excell from the process entirely and just save the query to a text file?
The query has 5 fields:
TxtProductCode Unique to each item
curCurrentPrice The listed price
txtHeading The Main description of the item
txtDetails Additional details
txtVender A name of who has the item
In Excel I change all instances of '"' to ' inch', then insert the delimiter fields, and the final line for the item looks like this:
["TxtProductCode","curCurrentPrice","txtHeading","txtDetails","txtVender"],
Can VBA do this, or even read the query and modify each record then write it to a text file?
