Hi,
I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me here. I was trying to write up a technical report for the Access database i built. Are there an easy way of exporting all the tables with their attributes in Access?
For example, in the student table,
ID
FirstName
LastName
...
Thank you in advance
I want to create an attribute called "order_line_price", which is basically the quantity field * the cost per product.
I have written the following SQL query which works fine:
SELECT Order_line.order_number, Order_line.product_number, product_name, quantity, (quantity*price) AS [Order line price]
FROM (Order_line INNER JOIN Product ON Order_line.product_number=Product.product_number) INNER JOIN Price_band ON Product.price_band=Price_band.price_band;
I can create a table from this query, and all is ok. However, I want to store the value of each order_line_price next in its appropriate row in my Order_line table. I cant do this no matter what I try. I know that what im trying to do is store a derived coloumn, however I need to do it, because I have an attribute elsewhere which is the SUM(order_line_price), which I want to limit by specifying the order_number for which to add the order_line_prices up for.
So basically, how can I store a derived column like that? I guess I need to set something up in the default value property and lock the coloumn or something?
Ive posted here before, and havent had replys. So if your reading this and dont know the answer, but do know the link to a forum or chat room with speedier replies, please post the link.
Thanks.
I'm wrestling with the issues; in other threads, it became apparent that because I could not know ahead of time what I will need to know about a given entity, I will use a table to enumerate attributes that is applicable for a given entity.
However, the stumper is that what if an attribute should conform to a set list of values? Since they are dynamic, I would have problem predicting what I will need to be able to lookup, and am even don't know whether I will need a one-many lookup or many-many lookup.
I thought that generic lookup table with a table listing "classes" of lookup would allow me to have one big generic lookup table while using "classes" to act like virtual tables so I can then set the query to appropriate "class" to return just right set of values.
But as I thought about it, I ran into some issues which is pulling me toward the crazy idea that I should have freestanding tables, and use a field in tblAttribute to give me the table's name so I'd know which free-standing table it points to, and have the necessary key to lookup the values within that table.
Even though my gut instincts tell me that I shouldn't be going against the conventions of database design (who the frick goes around creating free-standing lookups?!?), I'm simply not sure how I can use a generic lookup table to hold all information.
For example, suppose I was given a list of values that has its own categories. Since the former design allows only for two level (lookup and lookupclass), where am I to insert that extra level?
Furthermore, I found myself needing a set of virtual keys to reference a certain "class" of lookups for report purposes. That means I need an extra field in my lookup table than I originally anticipates. What if I find myself needing one more field that just won't fit the generic lookup table?
So does anyone have suggestions on how we would create a placeholder for a lookup table that will be made just in time?
I have a tbble with attributes
'image_data','resolution','created','file_size'
At the moment i'm sotring the 'image_date' as an OLE object datatype. Is there anyway that i can get access to automatically populate the attributes 'resolution', 'created' and 'file_size'? or could this be done using a different datatype for the 'image_data' itself?
PLEASE help, it would be SOOO much appreciated.
Thanks

I'm using the MS Access 2010 ExportwithFormating action to export three tables to a single MS Excel 2010 workbook. The action overwrites the first excel worksheet each time instead of saving all three worksheets in a single excel workbook.
How can I export three tables into a single excel workbook.
I have a DB with about 50 tables. I have arranged them in a particular order in the relationship viewer and would like to print out as much of the viewer as I can by choosing the paper size and/or setting a scale factor. Access does not appear to let one do either. When looking at the relationship page, the 'page setup' under File ->Pagesetup is grayed out. Selecting 'print' causes the relationships to be printed in some sort of predefined manner, on 81/2x11 pages. Is there anyway to control how this view is printed?
On a related note: When in the relationship viewer, the only way to scroll the view is by the margin slider bars (the mouse wheel does not work). SHould the mouse wheel do the verticle scrolling? Also, if I want to move two or more tables (at the same time) in this view, how can I select them?
Thanks

I know that I can use an Alter Table query to add table fields from code.
But what if I just want to change a field from being Required or Not Required, or perhaps change the field width of a text field?
How do I do that from VBA?
Below is code to adjust file attributes.
Code:
Public Shared Sub Main()
Dim path As String = "c: empMyTest.txt"
' Create the file if it exists.
If File.Exists(path) = False Then
File.Create(path)
[Code] .....
I'm creating a database of companies. Every company has at least one field of services they provide. There are three main groups which contain all the services (Let's say I have three tables).
What I need is to have a form/table (query?) where I can assign to a company any number of services from any group. Is it possible to do it in a form where I could simply add a service by choosing a group first and then a proper service, and then add more in the same way?
hello,
Recently I have started working for one of the company where I have to deal with one of the access file. this file has lots of tables containing many fields.
My question is
How can I get all the tables name, their fields and attributes in Microsoft Word file. I have tried opening table > design view and copy text but it doesn't work. also tries coping table and paste in in word file but it takes ages
any suggestion will be helpful
Thank you

1 ----- Size - S
2 ----- Size - M
3 ----- Size - L
4 ----- Size - XL
Table to be searched
Id ----- Attributes
1 ----- <select name="attribute" id="attribute"><option value="Size - M">Size - M</option><option value="Size - L">Size - L</option></select>

HI:
I've managed to export multiple linked tables to XML via the Export feature in Access. In looking at the XLM that is generated, I notice that the data that corresponds to the key field contains the key that is autogenerated. If, for example, I look at the last table in the chain, and look at the foreign key field, it contains the key number of the table that it is linked to (as it should). My question is: is there a way to have this key value inserted in a relative (referential?) format rather than an absolute format?
For example, If the foreign key (e.g. #5) in table 'B' points to primary key 5 in table 'A', instead of having '5' in the field ID_my_key,
e.g.: <Table>A</Table>
<ID_my_key>5</ID_my_key>
I could have something like: TABLE A.5.
<Table>A</Table>
<ID_my_key>A.5</ID_my_key>
I am looking for this feature because I need to take a set of objects that are arranged in a hierarchial manner in the data base and import a subset of that information (keeping the hierarchial information in tact) into another tool.
I guess I could write some code to walk the structure and construct the references but that would be some additional work that I really don't have time for at the moment.
Any help/pointers on how to do this is appreciated.

I have created about 7 tables in Access, which all have the same column names. I want to export all of the table's data at the same time into a Excel SpreadSheet using VBA.
Also I want specify where i want the data to go in the SpreadSheet e.g. All data will be exported to cell A4.
Any ideas or help?

I created a table with an older version of MS Access which was replaced with Access 2010. I was able to export the table simply by selecting specifications that I created.
How do I export with these same specifications in Access 2010 ?
Hi,
Would it be possible for me to build an interface for a customer to use for importing data. So that they customer could choose from a drop down list, or input into a text box where they want to export from, and where they would like the export to be imported?
Hi,
I want all the tables of my database to export to a zip file when the users exit the database. this will serve as a sort of a backup of the data. Is this possible? if so, how?

I'm trying to export my table using the following code:
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "incidents", "c:Incidents.xls", True
But unfortunatly I get truncated errors upon export via the vba above. is it not possible to export memo fields to excel via vba?
I would like to export fields from Access 2003 with a comma pragmatically added between each field as a CSV file.
I am able to export the fields without the comma, but the Accounting Program that I want to use for the importing of the data requires a comma to separate each field.
Example
one,two,three,four,five
I have to import a table into a government database. I've got the data lined up in a table and exported to csv. The problem is that the government database doesn't allow empty fields, or the commas created by empty fields. The empty fields are create by criteria that changes with each employee. Is there a way to get rid of them without manually deleting them? I would imagine there is but can't find anything about it or maybe I don't see the forest for the trees? Sample csv below with surplus commas.
Code:

I'm learning Access by myself and i have some problem with exporting a multiple value field to an excel.
I have a field name "Users" in a table wherein this field is a multiple value field and looku up the value from the other table. When I export the table to excel, the data in the multiple value field does not export properly and it just shows some symbol in the excel.
Is there something wrong with my field?
I want to export table data into SPSS.
How it is possible.
I need to output my Access Database as one XML File. My issue is I need to have two tables mapped back to one table. When I try to nest them, one table is nested as it should be, but the other one is just added on the end of the file; not nested like I need it to be.
Board Stacks is the upper end Table. Calibration and Station_Captesters needs to be nested inside it. On top of that, I also want to add they lower two tables in series.
I have information held in 3 different tables and I would like to extract this information to three different tabs in a singe Excel workbook - preferably in one step.
My access knowledge is fairly basic but I have been looking online and I can only find out how to do it using a VBA script - which is quite terrifying! Is there a simple way to do this?
I have two tables identical with all text fields within the same database. One table I export as a csv, delimited with commas separating my fields and quotation text qualifiers. Where the fields are blank there are text qualifiers as well ("" - begining and ending quotations). This is what I need. The second table is exporting as a csv, delimited, commas separating the fields with text qualifier as ""- begining and ending quotations, EXCEPT the blank fields are not putting the text qualifier, and I need it.
First Table: *What I need*
"142358", "PK", "15132678", "", "123.45"
Second Table: *What I need to fix and do NOT want*
"142358", "PK", "15132678", ,"123.45"
I need to export a table to .txt.
I need to have the field names as well as the records.
Some records are part numbers with a leading zero like 043095.
Some records are part numbers with dashes and alpha's like 123456E-789.
I don't think I can use .csv because some records have a part number description uses comma's like "some text, more text, even more text".
I don't need all the hyphens and pipes for the grid work.
The problems I have so far are:Exporting to .txt without formatting doesn't bring over the field names (I know they made it this way) Is there a work around other than exporting the data and then adding all the field names in with a macro in Excel? I can do it but, what a pain.
I see dropping of leading zeros = 43095 in .txt and .xlsx
Exporting to Excel sometimes scrambles the part numbers and they come out like this 5.91E-09 when it should be 123456E-789 (so I'm losing data).
Exporting to Excel also puts qoutes in the description field like "A very large part" (extra clean up necessary).
easiest way to get rid of the hyphens and pipes and leave it in .txt form?
