Creating Views To A MS-Access Table
May 9, 2006Hi all,
I write a program which is querying some data from a MS-Access database.
The problem here is, that the tablenames contain characters like "/" or "-" and I
do not want to change these names, because I think that the database
structure will be damaged.
To solve this problem I thought of creating a view to the table. I tried creating
this with a SQL statement, but that did not work.
Is there any other possibilty to create a view on a MS-Access table?
Regards,
Stefan

If its possible... How its pls ? :confused:
Access Report Views A New Column The Same As A New Page?
Jun 22, 2015I have run a query that reports the following information. I am using Access 2007
Model (Text)
Start Time (Time)
Step (1-5)
I have a report that is grouped by step and I have Force new page selected for this group. So the idea is that each page will show the models and start times for each step on separate pages.
Since the width of what I am showing is not very wide I want two columns so that when there is too much data the data will just continue in the next column rather than create a new page. This way all the information for each step will be contained on one page.
I am running into problems when there isn't enough data for a given step to fill up the entire first column. Access is placing the next data set (Step #2 for example) in the next column rather than on its own page. Does access view a new column as a new page? I thought that selecting "Force new page" for my group would force a new physical page and not just dump the next data set into the next column.
Convert Querys To Views

Saving Different Datasheet Views
Sep 29, 2005Hi, can someone tell me if there is a way to save several different datasheet views? I have a large database with many fields. I use forms for data entry, but to view the data I use the table datasheet (so I can see multiple records at a glance). But every time I have to manually move, freeze, and hide columns to get the view I want!! Is there a way to save several different datasheet layouts that I can access the view I want with one click? because I am tired of freezing/hiding columns every single time.
Many thanks
Linking To SQL Server 2000 Views?
Jun 8, 2006In Access can I link to a SQL Server view? I am currently linking to the
SQL Server tables in my database and don't have any views. But if I can link to views I could give the workgroup permissions in Access to the views, not to the primary tables. This would provide some added security from the user who bypasses my switchboard forms and goes to modify the Access tables directly.
Removing Built In Form Views
Jan 25, 2005I am trying to remove the built in form views from access 97. Is it possible to remove the navigational functions of the form while in view mode (ie first record, previous record, search, next record, and last record)? There is also an arrow bar that has no functionality to it placed at the left side of my forms that I would like to get rid of. Is this possible? Thanks for your help!
View 4 Replies View RelatedForms :: Two Split Views On The Same Form?
Jan 16, 2015Is it possible (haven't found a way yet) to have two "split subforms" on a parent form side-by-side? When I try the multiple rows portion of the split view I created as a subform doesn't appear?
Want to have a form when I have search/filter/select record for table 1 (on the left) and table 2 (on the right) with a means in between to create a relationship which has a few parameters.
Online Entry To DB - Views On Flat File (CSV)
Feb 13, 2007Hi Guys,
Does anyone have any experience of writing to an Access database via Web.
Do you think it is feasible, for an online entry form, to have 'customers' input their details or wahtever, then this info is sent to some sort of flat file?CSV is it called?
Then the admin can check these, then import to DB quite easily?
ADP Creates Views And Functions Instead Of Stored Procedures
Mar 16, 2007Just been upsizing an Access DB. It seems to create views and functions for normal select statements and stored procedures are only created for insert or update statements.
As fas as a recent DBA told me, he said that views should be used sparingly as they are not very efficient. Is this the case?
I also don't see why you would create a function when you could use a stored procedure to so the same SELECT statement(s)?

View 4 Replies View RelatedTables :: Connected Views Deliver Incorrect Data
Mar 26, 2014Front end access 2010, back end SQl-server 2008 R2.I have all talbes and views connected to the server and due to incorrect results I found out, that the views from the server deliver incorrect data.Of course I refreshed the views in the access front end I even deleted them and connected them for new, but the incorrect data, even a different field sequence (!) remain.in a certain field there can be two different values: 1 and 2.
If opening the view I can only see 1, on the server the view shows 1 and 2, in the records, whatever is the value.This is not a calulated field.When checking this in a query in access I can select on value 2 (although I cannot see it!!) and I get the correct records but in the field itself the values still show as 1 !!
Same with other values in other fields. When I take the same SQL from the view in a stored procedure and execute is from access I get the correct data!!On both, view and sp I have the same permissions on the server!why views show incorrect data?

New To Access. Need Some Help Creating A Database
Apr 25, 2006Hello everyone!
I heard from a number of people that this is the place to come for Microsoft Access related help.
So here is my question and I hope someone can help me understand access a little bit better.
I am trying to create a database for a job I am doing. THere are 700+ convenience stores that we (4 inspectors) inspect every three months.
We have been told to do an ADA compliance survey when we visit these stores.
The ADA checklist that we have is about 78 questions and my manager wants me to create an ADA database for this information.
So I am in need of help on how to create a database that allows me to input the answers of this ADA checklist for each store inspected.
I then would like to be able to pull all that information into a report that I could say of the 700+ stores, 50% passed all questions, 25% passed only questions 1-??, etc. etc.
I can upload the two files: The ADA checklist and our Store list if anyone would like to help me out!
Thanks Much!

Creating 4 Fields From 1 In ACCESS
Nov 4, 2004I am working with some chemical compounds in a database I am building. I grabbed an html file off the web on a listing of chemical compounds...converted it to ascii and imported it into ACCESS. Rather than write a Perl routine I was wondering if anyone out there had some sql code that might handle it. The first 3 records look like this and are contained in one field. I am trying to break this guy into 4 fields.
0001 Acetaldehyde 75-07-0 AB1925000
0002 Acetic acid 64-19-7 AF1225000
003 Acetic annhydride 108-24-7 AK1925000
The fields would be named in order as:
GUIDE 002
CHEMICAL_NAME Acetic acid
CAS_NO 64-19-7
RTECS_NO AF1225000
The first two fields are left justified but the number fields are rather zigzagged throughout.
Anyone have a cure for this beast?
I thank you in advance.

Help Creating And Designing An ACCESS Database!!!
Sep 1, 2005Hi guys, i need help with a sample database, and wondered if anyone could tell me the entities and how to calculate the prices etc. If anyone could attempt starting the database off for me it would be appreciated too!!
Here is the spec!!!
You are required to produce and document a design that meets the requirements of the McDuffs Burgers scenario:
The corporate office of McDuffs Burgers has asked you to design a database to help track its restaurants and managers. The database is to help the management show the total annual sales of each restaurant and the performance of each manager, as measured by the totals annual sales of all restaurants for that particular manager. Each restaurant is supervised by a single manager, but a manager is also responsible for several restaurants. The company stores typical personnel data (name, salary, and so on.) for each manager as well as basic data for each restaurant such as the telephone and address of each restaurant, its size in square metres, and total annual sales for the last fiscal year. The company would also like objective ways to measure the performance of a manager such as the total revenue for which they are responsible, the average annual revenue per restaurant, the average annual revenue per square foot, etc.
The database should also track the orders that are placed by individual restaurants to the corporate office for various food supplies. Each order is associated with a specific restaurant, and of course, a single restaurant will place multiple orders during the course of a year. The company uses a standard set of product numbers, product descriptions, and associated prices that applies to all restaurants. Each order can specify several products, and a single product may appear in several orders. The database should be capable of computing the total cost for each order.
Deliverables
1. Entity definition for each entity.
2. Entity Relationship Diagram, which must show entities, relationships and membership.
3. Relationship definition for each relationship.
4. Relations (This must include for each relation the primary and foreign keys).
5. Data Dictionary.
Furthermore:
You are required to implement the design (produced in the first part of the assessment - McDuffs Burgers - Database Design), by designing and creating queries, forms, reports and any supporting code. Revisions may be made to the design in the implementation process.
You should note the management of McDuffs Burgers has little experience of database systems and wish to be advised on the information the system can produce.
They require example reports demonstrating the capabilities of the system to:
- Aid the day to day operation of the business.
- Provide appropriate management information.
You must also implement an appropriate user interface to the database easy to use.
Creating Jobs Using Scheduler In Access

View 14 Replies View RelatedCreating A Data Access Page
Aug 8, 2006I am trying to make a DAP for data input into a table.
I used the wizard and it has the fields I want, I can scroll through them and view the entries, but they are not editable.
I read about changing the Page DataEntry property to True, but I still cannot select any of the editboxes on the DAP and now the DAP just shows blank non-selectable editboxes.
I decided to create a dummy table to work with to test creating a DAP, my dummy table looks like this:
Group Name Number Text
1 Bill 3 pink
1 Adam 5 green
2 Charlie 7 blue
I ran the wizard on the above table and again I can scroll through but not select any of the fields, and with DataEntry set to True I still cannot select/edit the textboxes.
Is there something else I need to do to be able to make an input form?
Once I get that sorted out I have a followup question: The dummy table above is where the input data goes, but on the input form I would like if possible to get the Group and Name from a different table using drop-lists. The real table has over 5000 names split into groups of about 30-50 so picking a group first would help find a name in the list which will eventually be input to the table above.
Hope that all makes sense, and thanks in advance for any help!

Creating An MDE In Access 2003 From A 2000 DB
Mar 24, 2008I converted an MS Access 2000 DB to 2003 with no problems. I am able to open it up in Access 2003 now either by double clicking it or from Acccess - file open. I then created an MDE file in Access 2003, but when I tried to open it up I got a message saying
This database is in an unrecognized format.
The database may have been created with a LATER version of Microsoft Office Access than the one you are using. Upgrade your version of Microsoft Office Access to the current one, then open this database.
I noticed a service pack will get rid of this errror. My question is if I distribute the MDE will the user get the same error if they don't have the service pack installed on their PC? Will my installation of the service pack fix the errror and allow anyone to use the file without getting the message.
Thanks
Dynamically Creating MS Access Table
Feb 5, 2008Hi,
I am trying to create a series of MS access tables from within a SQL 2000 DTS package. The names of the tables reflect the date range of the data within them. Creating the "Create table ddmmyy ...." statement isn't a problem (full code below), but doesn't run as it creates a Jet error - "Invalid SQL statement; expected 'DELETE', 'INSERT', 'PROCEDURE', 'SELECT', or 'UPDATE'. Does anyone know if what I'm trying to do is possible.
Before anyone suggests it, yes I have posted this on SQL server forums.
declare @TheName char (8)
,@Cmd char (500)
select @TheName = (select max(LastRunDate) from NSP_Analysis_Dates)
select @Cmd = 'CREATE TABLE `NSP_Analysis_' + @TheName + '` (`TYPE` VarChar (200) NULL, `VENDOR_NO` VarChar (10) NULL, `VENDOR_NAME` VarChar (50) NULL, `AMOUNT_CLAIMED` Currency NULL, `REGION` VarChar (100) NULL, `CLUSTER` VarChar (100) NULL, `PLANT_CODE` VarChar (15) NULL, `PLANT_NAME` VarChar (50) NULL, `DATE_OF_SERVICE` DateTime NULL, `STATUS` VarChar (200) NULL, `TICKET_NO` VarChar (20) NULL, `NOTES` VarChar (255) NULL, `DATE_ENTERED` DateTime NULL, `AuthorisedByName` VarChar (50) NULL)'

I Need Help With Properly Re-creating And Old Form. (I'm New To Access And Have Q's)
May 29, 2006I made a form a few years ago using Excel but it has become a major headache for anyone who wants to edit/update the content.
It's my responsibility to figure out how to fix this, but I don't really have any experience in form-creation! I'm not even sure what software to use... I've done some searching, and right now I'm thinking Access might have the tools that I need to help me complete this project (although I have no experience with the software at all right now).
I'm looking for some help on getting started.. so I will describe the project, and hopefully someone can answer a few of my questions.
This form has 3 sections: input, Q&A, and the summary. The input section is handled by the company before presenting the Q&A to a client. In the Q&A portion the client's name, company, and other personal information are pulled from the input section and placed mid-sentence in the questions. This is a personal touch we would like to keep when re-creating the form.
The Q&A portion also includes radio buttons, checkboxes, dropdown lists and input fields where the client can type out their answers sometimes. Here is an example of what the first 2 pages may look like:
PAGE 1: Question 1:
Do you have a clearly defined purpose for your plan?
http://img425.imageshack.us/img425/3589/radio9sx.jpg If YES record the purpose below:
_______________________________________________
http://img425.imageshack.us/img425/3589/radio9sx.jpg If NO, choose a sample purpose from the drop-down box
to help get you started:
http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/7386/dropdown1vu.jpg
PAGE 2: Question 2:
What selection critera did you use to select your service provider?
http://img71.imageshack.us/img71/2890/checked4na.jpg Investment options provided
http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/5539/unchecked5rr.jpg Cost of service
http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/5539/unchecked5rr.jpg Support tools proved
http://img71.imageshack.us/img71/2890/checked4na.jpg Quality of service
Enter any other reasons below:
_______________________________________________
One page per question.
The SUMMARY page will take client's answers and compact them into something more readable. The answers are listed one after another (no limit per page as with the questions). Also, the answers are to be displayed in sentence format. For example.. if a client checks off 3 items from a 5 item list, those three items should be listed in a sentence separated by commas. Here is an example summarizing the first 2 pages above:
Summary of Answers
1. Do you have a clearly defined purpose for your plan?
A. YES. (description of plan previously entered by client)
2. What selection critera did you use to select your service provider?
A. Investment options provided, and quality of service. Also (other resaons, provided by client)
This demonstrates the type of control that I need over the information. I managed to get Excel to do all these things.. but, like I said it is too complex to edit/update without accidently screwing things up. So lastly and most importantly... the final version of the form needs to be easy to edit!
So... does it look like Access the right program for the job? Maybe there are other programs out there that I should be looking at (something by Adobe maybe?)
But if you think Access can handle the job then do you have any tips to help me along my way? I'm not looking for specific step-by step instructions to help me build this of course.. I will figure most of it out by trial and error. But are there some major things I should be looking out for? Like, do I have to set up a particular kind of database, or use a particular kind of template? Is inserting the client's name mid-sentence a particularly difficult thing to do?
Any help to get started on this is much appreciated. THANKS.
Thanks so much.
