Access 2010 / Linked Tables Not Updating?
Jan 4, 2012
I have an access 2010 Database connected to a MySQL database through a ODBC 5.1 connector.
when I run the linked table manager, I get the message "Linked tables updated successfully" but the tables residing on the server do not update.

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.
Is this possible using vba in the frontend?

Hi all,
I have a front-end database with a linked (data) database. Problems arise when this goes onto other PC's on different directories and I get the error that it can't find the linked database. This is easily fixed by updating with the linked table manager, but as I am not sure which directories the database will be run from on other PC's, is there a solution that easily updates the linked tables? (the two database files will always be in the same folder). I realise that if I can identify a common directory that can be used on all potential PC's, then this problem can be avoided, but I can't guarantee this.
Thanks in advance,
Atholl

Can anyone help me understand why I can link to a table that I have permission to update but when I try to update I cannot. For example, I should be able to open the table and add a row but I cannot. I can append to it though. The interesting thing is that someone on a different pc can use my id to link to a table and they can open it and add a row. Are there some seetings that are messed up on my laptop? Please advise...

Hi, I have the following structure:
Products 1-M ORDER DETAILS M-1 ORDERS M-1 CUSTOMERS
I have ORDER DETAILS set as a junction table so that many products can be recorded within one order. All is good apart from when i go into ORDERS and create a new order. I click the subform which links to the ORDERDETAILS. I then pick a product number(look up from products table). The problem is this: In the ORDER DETAILS I want to display the unit price of this product simply by picking the product id.
Eventually this would form the basis of an order form where I can pick Product Id and have it display unit price.
Any ideas on this one, I'm sure its quite simple!!
Thanks in advance

We have an Access 2000 backend database resides in a network server drive while users connect to the backend tables with a mde file on their computers. All users have Access 2010 and the mde file was converted from the 2000 frontend with Access 2010.
The database have been running for a few weeks but recently users have been complaining about record lost on the backend table.We have also experienced one incident of data corruption where the main table could not be opened. After Compact & Repair, the table could be opened but a few records were showing xxxxx on all the fields and we have to delete and re-enter these records.Would they relate to using 2010 mde converted from 2000 frontend when the backend is still in 2000? I am a little nervous about converting both the frontend and backend to 2010 since I have heard various issues on the new version.

I am using Access 2010.I have a table that I am using to pull my data from other tables and a query.My table is called tblMyData.One of the field names is level1. This field points to another table, and gives the user the choices for states (examples California, Texas, Maine).
Another field name is level2. This field points to another table and give the user the choice for type of customer (examples Business, Consumer)
The field name level3 points to a query. The query, qryFinalChoice matches up the choices based on level1 and level2.for example, the user can pick California for level1, business in level2 and California Widgets or Los Angeles Clothing store in level3 (plus about 20 other choices).
If the user picks Texas for level1, business in level2, business in level2 and Houston rugs, or Texas style restaurant in level3 (or about 15 other choices).
-I am recording 1 for California on level1, 2 for Texas and 3 for Maine in level1.
-I am recording 1 for business and 2 for consumer on level2.
The query qryFinalChoice has all the combinations for state, business or consumer, and lastly business name or consumer name.
-qryFinalChoice has line1 to match up the choices for level1 in my table.
-qryFinalChoice has line2 to match up the choices for level2 in my table.
-qryFinalChoice has line3 to match up the choices for level3 in my table.
I do not want any of the Texas business names appearing when the user picks California, or vice versa.
My SQL in my tblMyData tab for level3 looks like this:
Select line1 from qryFinalChoice where line1=1;
I am able to get all the line items where California is a selection.How do I change my SQL to pull all the line1 choices where I have selected from level1, and all the line2 choices where I have selected from level2 automatically based on my pulldowns?

I have table of transaction data, I want to count the number of successful customer transactions but the table includes cancelled transactions with a negative value. I was therefore looking to create a new calculated field for customer count which report either "1" or"-1" depending on if the price is positive or negative. The idea being a count of this would give the customer count. The expression I am using is:
IIf([Price]>=0, 1, -1)
The problem is it I get an error message saying "The calculated field cannot be created" "verify that expression "IIf([Price]>=0, 1, -1)" includes fields that exist in the current table"

Is there a way to merge duplicate/similar Access 2010 records into one record?
I have an Access table with 1,000 duplicate records, although they are similar and not exact duplicates. As you can see below, some records contain information that other records do not. Yet, the primary key is the same for all duplicate records. I want to find a way to merge data from filled cells of duplicate records into empty cells for each duplicate record. I do not want to concatenate the data (i.e. combine last and first name, etc.). I only want to fill empty cells if there is a match for it in a duplicate record. I will delete the newly exact duplicate records later. Short of correcting the records by hand.
Example
Code:
LastName FirstName SSN Address Phone Email
Doe John 123-45-7891 123 Anywhere St. NULL john(at)gmail.com
Doe John 123-45-7891 NULL (123)456-7890 NULL
Desired Result
Code:
LastName FirstName SSN Address Phone Email
Doe John 123-45-7891 123 Anywhere St. (123)456-7890 john(at)gmail.com
Doe John 123-45-7891 123 Anywhere St. (123)456-7890 john(at)gmail.com

I have a table in my Access 2010 Database with few date/time fields. I have set different formats like Short Time, Medium Time etc. But when I link this table to Sharepoint list, all the date/time fields have been modified to their default format (General Date).
Is there a way we can keep the formats as such even after linked to Sharepoint list? If not, is there a workaround?

I have a form with a graph on, and want to show two different lines on the graph, sourced from separate tables.
The commonality between the two tables is a date.
One line shows count of people available every 15 minutes and the other would should the demand for people on the same date, every 15 minutes.
Is it possible to do this and how?

I have a form with two tables referenced. I am using the form only to update one of the tables. I am using the other table to pull a reference field. When I add my second table using the query builder, it makes it to where I can't edit/add in my form. I assume its because of the SQL insert statement, but I don't see this statement and can't find where it is to edit it. How to have the form only update one of the tables, while just using the second table as a reference for a field?

Is it possible to have a value in an excel 2010 cell be used to update an access 2010 db?
For example, if in a spreadsheet "test" cell A2=3 then in a db "test" a column "value" is 3. However, if the value in the spreadsheet changes so does the db.

Hi,
This may be a simple question, but I'd like to reassure myself, so here goes. I have a database which is used to produce a pile of reports, and the tables are linked to a second database. I now need to update the reports, and add new data for this year. But the second database is password protected, and yep, I don't know that password. (I'm taking over this project from someone who left 3 years ago - I haven't just forgotten the password honest!)
Is it ok to import new data to the second database, and still carry on producing reports?
What if I want to change the properties in one of my linked tables? Can I delete the link, change the property, and then reapply the link?
Thanks for your advice,
Antro.

Hi, There seem to be a serious bug in Access 97, and I want to know if anyone has encountered this before.
I tried to describe the problem as best as I can, I also included a flash video to describe everything, here it is:
http://naderchehab.googlepages.com/linkedtablebug.swf (~1 MB)
My database has two tables:
- dbo_InventoryLocation which is linking to SQL Server 2000 via ODBC which contains inventory quantities for each product, and
- tblPRODUCTS_BUSINESS which is linking to another access database on the network and contains product information
(item number, title, description, and a field called "InvCategory" which describes item categories). I wrote a very simple query that links these two tables together:
SELECT tblPRODUCTS_BUSINESS.InvCategory, dbo_InventoryLocation.ItemNumber
FROM tblPRODUCTS_BUSINESS INNER JOIN dbo_InventoryLocation
ON tblPRODUCTS_BUSINESS.Item_Number = dbo_InventoryLocation.ItemNumber
GROUP BY tblPRODUCTS_BUSINESS.InvCategory, dbo_InventoryLocation.ItemNumber
ORDER BY tblPRODUCTS_BUSINESS.InvCategory;
The query really doesn't matter, it's just a test. Now here's the weird part:
when I execute this query, and I scroll down to a specific category and count the number of items in that category, I see about 50 of them.
But if I specify that category as a criteria, I see more than 200!
I also noticed that this problem does not happen when I use non-linked tables.
I hope anyone has an idea what that problem might be, and I hope there is a way around it.
Thanks,
Nader

Is it possible to update Access tables through a macro of some sort.
Thing is:
I would like to collect a membership list in a table.
I will add new members on my database but i would like to update another database to have the same data as me. Especially for this particular table.
I will have a look around (i never used access before) but if there is a tip on where to go and find such a feature would be much appreciated.
Thankyou

I wish to work in Access 2010 with a subset of my Outlook 2010 contacts (all desktop- no network barriers), so I am exploring the Desktop Contacts DB found in Microsoft's templates. It passes contact data back and forth using the standard macros, but I wish to add more fields from Outlook. It seems I need to find the code associated with the macro. I believe I can solve the problem using a Linked table, but am wondering if there is another solution?
Calendar synchronization is another issue. Linking gets me to the Archive Calendars, but not the Current one in Outlook which is what I want.

Hi,
I have two databases in Access.
One of the database acts as backend i.e it has only tables including some Linked Tables(which are linked to some third database)
Other database is an executable in which all the tables are linked to the bakend database.
I am not able to link to the linked tables in the backed database. Is there a way of doing that?
