Automate Copy Table And Sequence Table Name

Oct 27, 2004

I have a user who wants to automate copying a table from our main database. Basically, he is naming the new table with the original table name and the current date. For example, Part_Table_9-3-04, Part_Table_9-4-04, Part_Table_9-5-04 etc for each day of the month.

He wants me to write a macro, module, or vb code that automates the steps.

I have DoCmd.CopyObject,"Table1",AcTable,"Table2" I want to concatenate the date function (now) or (today) with the new table name but can't seem to get this to work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for helping,

Jeff

General :: Autofill Sequence In A Table?

Oct 13, 2014

I'm creating a table with times of the day from 08:00 to 17:00 in 15 minute increments.

I'm going to use the table as a lookup to make it easier to enter an appointment time.

I don't really want to type them all by hand - does access have an equivalent to excel's drag and autofill a sequence? is it just as easy todo it in excel then cut and paste it?

Modules & VBA :: Create Sequence From Table?

Jan 24, 2015

I am writing a deposit recording database for archaeological layers. My units are recorded in one table, and then the relationships are recorded in a separate table. I have limited the recording of relationships to be either "same_as" or "below".

So in tblContexts is have say: 1,2,3,4,5,6
in tblcontextrels I have say : 2 is below 1; 3 is below 1; 4 is below 3; 1 is below 5; 6 is the same as 5

I want to view the deposits on screen in their stratigraphic sequence. So I think I need to write a piece of code to run through "tblContextrels" which will then create a hierarchy attribute. This attribute can then be used to sequence the context deposits I am looking at.

General :: Copy Data From Local Access Table To Linked SQL Server Table?

Jan 13, 2014

I have an MS Access accdb with linked SQL Server 2012 ODBC tables. I am working on a procedure to copy data from local tables to these linked tables (identical schema). I did a simple

Code:

DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO linkedTable SELECT * FROM localTable"

This works, but is very slow. Way too slow. (INSERT copies the data one record at a time).

I would like to copy the data in a bulk operation, or operations that I can execute programmatically.

Modules & VBA :: Copy Record To History Table And Then Delete It From Main Table

Jul 9, 2014

I have a form with a sub form. when a record is choosen in a combo box the sub form is filled out with a record.

Modules & VBA :: Copy Structure Of A Table To Make A Temp Table

Apr 20, 2015

I'm trying to copy the structure of a table to make a temp table. I'm using CopyObject (which also copies the data). So when I delete the data from the temp table, it also deletes data from the source table. Is the data linked? It should just be deleted from the temp table. Below is the beginning of the code. I've stepped through, and at the last step shown, the data in the source table deletes.

Code:
Dim strFile As String
Dim temp As String
Dim tbl As String
Dim db As DAO.Database

' error handle
On Error GoTo F_Error

Modules & VBA :: Automate Importing Xml Data Into Existing Table

May 22, 2014

what is the best way to import the data from the XML file into an access database table. The database I am working with has one large main table where all of the main record data is stored. There is a somewhat complex string of queries and reports based off this table that I am concerned about preserving. The problem is that the XML file is not structured in the same way the table is. The headings are named different, aren't in the same order, etc. I cannot use the import method and simply append it to the main table.After much searching around I have found two options:

1) Use the built in XML import method that access provides to create a secondary table. Then find a way to take data from individual fields in the second table and map and insert it into a new record in the main table.I already have the import part of this option working. The only part I can't seem to understand is how to take data from the second table and get it into a new record in the main table under the correct headings

2) Read the data from the XML file all at once and then map and insert it into the main table.I have not attempted this yet. I was having a hard time understanding how to retrieve the data from the XML file in the first place.

So.. which would be better/easiest to automate (most likely via button click on a form)? I only have a small understanding of VBA and even less understanding of anything XML.

General :: DLookup - Resetting Sequence Number In A Table?

Oct 8, 2013

Occasionally a user of mine needs to reset a sequence number in a table.

A few months ago I made him a simple app that has two text entry boxes and a button. The first text entry box uses a dlookup:

Code:
=DLookUp("sSessionNumID","qryGetAPIsessionLastValue")

...the other textbox ties to an update query, which updates the sequence number with the new value supplied by the user. Simple.

Then about a week ago it stopped running the dlookup part - nothing shows in the text box that is to show the current sequence num.

Oddly, if I enter a value in the update text box and press the button to update the sequence number (which still works) -- the previously dormant dlookup textbox now shows the new value - so it works ...it just doesn't want to work on this one workstation unless the update query is run first.

What can this be? The update button merely calls a DoCmd.RunSQL with both an insert (storing old value locally in ms access table) and an update (updating the sql server table's seq number using an ODBC DSN and sql server driver).

It's almost like the dlookup falls asleep now and won't wake up until the update is run...

Active Table And History Table, How To Copy On Deletion?

Feb 14, 2006

My 2nd post, and I am very new to DB and Access. I have a problem that I want to get help on. I want to set up a main form that is used to enter and delete all data for my table. I wish to add either a button or to make it automatically happen when a record is deleted, that it is first copied to a separate table with the same fields, except it also has a closed date that would be the date that the record was copied over. I know zilch about VB, VBA or any other language other than AutoIt, so assume I am what I am, an ignorant beginner.

I did look into the event somethihng like upondeletion or something... while trying to find help on this in the access and VBA parts of Office, but I do not know how to utilize the event with Basic or SQL, which I know none of either.

Any help or examples are very much appreciated.

**EDIT**
I do not require all fields to be recorded to the secondary DB (History), so if someone can just give me an example of how I would move two fields to a separate DB, I can hopefully learn enough from it to do more.

Thanks a Bunch!


EXAMPLE**
Current Loans (Table 1):
CustomerID
Name
Address
City
State
Phone

Customer History (Table 2):
CustomerID
Name
Phone

That gives an example to help understand what I need. I want to store the CustomerID, Name and Phone values of the record being deleted, to the History Table, which I am using as a closed account table for later look up.

How To Copy A Column From One Table And Insert It Into Another Table In The Same Db

Feb 3, 2006

How to copy a column from one table and insert it into another table in the same database

Hi, All,

I have two tables (old and new) sitting in the same database. The new table is the result of 'data cleansing' done by an external company. In the process (export and import via excel) two memo type colums in the table were truncated in excel.

To make the new table usable, I must therefore now copy/insert the two memo columns from the old table into the new table.

Both tables are already Access tables and sit in the same database. Both tables, of course, have the same number of rows.

I tried to high-light one column in the old table, clicked copy, then high-lighted a blank column in the target table, then clicked Paste, but got error msg: "This text is too long for this field. Try copying a shorter text", as if I had wanted to copy the whole column into one cell rather than one column into another column of equal length.

What is the best way to proceed?

Thanks for your help.

Adrian

Copy Linked Table Into A Local Table

Jul 30, 2006

Well, heres the situation. I have a complicated query that refuses to work all the time using a linked table for the data (data is gathered from a FoxPro DB). If I copy the data into a local table in my database then the query will run fine.

The data needs to be updated only 1/month but I don't want to have to do it manually every month. I would like to use VBA to copy and paste the data from the linked table into my local table. Does anyone know of an efficient way to do this? I'm trying to avoid running a VBA loop and adding each record one-by-one (very slow).

Copy Table Post And Secondary Table

Jun 26, 2007

I have a problem... I have four tables(but my problem is limited to just two)
The tables are Orders, Customers, Items and OrderedItems
The two more detailed below creates the problem when trying to copy an already existing order to a new since the customers usally order the samethings over and over again.

Orders
IDOrders
IDCustomers
strSalesperson
strWhen
strSent

OrderedItems
IDOrderedItems
IDOrders
IDItems
iNumber
bPacked

So I have made a copy button on the order form. The copy button should do this:
1. First save the old orders IDOrders and IDCustomers (which it does)
2. Create a new order with old data (which doesnt do)
3. Copy all post in OrderedItems with a new IDOrdered using INSERT INTO and using columns

My SQL statement is like follows:
sSQL ="INSERT INTO Orders(IDCustomers, strSalesperson, strWhen, strSent, strComment) VALUES (" & itmpIDCustomers & ",'" & strSalesperson & "', '" & strWhen & "','" & strSent & "');"
But the reply I got is "Could not find output table 'Orders'" but I have checked the names over and over again but it doesnt work.

How To Copy Records To Different Table

Jun 22, 2006

Hi all

This gonna be a long one.... I've search the whole forum for answer to this problem, but couldn't find the one suitable enough.

I have a quote table with the following field:


QuoteName
QuoteDescription
QuotePrice

and booking Table:


BookingName
BookingDescription
BookingPrice

The real table is much more complex, but this will do for now.

When a client call up for a quote, their request will be added into the "QuoteTable". One name can occur many times depend on how many they ask for quote. Once they decided to proceed with the booking, all the records need to be transfered into "BookingTable".

Currently, I use either one of the following codes found in this forum:


Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Dim rstQuote, rstBooking As DAO.Recordset

Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set rstQuote = dbs.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM QuoteTable " & _
"WHERE QuoteName = ' " & Name & " ' ")
Set rstClient = dbs.OpenRecordset("BookingTable")

Do Until rstQuote.EOF
rstBooking.AddNew
For Each Field In rstQuote.Fields
rstBooking.Fields(Field.Name).Value = _
Nz(rstQuote.Fields(Field.Name).Value, "")
Next Field
rstQuote.MoveNext
rstBooking.Update
Loop


or


Dim lngOuterCounter, lngInnerCounter As Long
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Dim rstQuote, rstBooking As DAO.Recordset

Set dbs = CurrentDb
Set rstQuote = dbs.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM QuoteTable " & _
"WHERE QuoteName = ' " & Name & " ' ")
Set rstClient = dbs.OpenRecordset("BookingTable")

If Not rstQuote.EOF And Not rstQuote.BOF Then
rstBooking.AddNew
For lngInnerCounter = 0 To rstQuote.Fields.Count - 1
rstBooking.Fields(lngInnerCounter) = _
Nz(rstQuote.Fields(lngInnerCounter), "")
Next lngInnerCounter
rstBooking.Update
End If


But none seem to work. Can anyone help?


Cheers

Copy Table With Prompt For New Name

Aug 13, 2007

Once at the beginning of each month I extract all new cases from last month into a table. The table has a generic name as I repeat this step monthly. I would like to save or archive the data each month without having to manually copy and paste the table and rename it, prior to the new extraction, so that I have a record of each month. The archived table will not be used in any queries or reports.

The table I want to copy and rename is named 'tblSampleFrame'

At the beginning of the month before I delete the contents of the 'tblSampleFrame' to pull the new data, I would like to copy the old table and include a date in the new name. How would I set up a button on a form to copy the file and prompt me for the new file name? The new name would be 'tblSampleFrame_mmyyyy' where I can specify which month and year.

Copy Table From One Back-end To Another

Sep 22, 2005

I have a database that acts as a front end for two different back-end databases. What I want to do is be able to copy a table from back-end #1 into back-end #2.

My first stab was to try to do a TransferDatabase on the linked table from b-e #1, but that just put a link in b-e #2, and not the actual data.

Can this be done?

Thanks,
