I have created a form in Access updating the files each month but I need to keep the previous month data as historical record . how can I creat and archiving function / command so that the files that have been updated are not lost and will be kept for future use? thank you for your help
View RepliesI have a list of archive folders with unquie IDs and images files which have a version history.
I need to remove the history and just keep the latest archive version set of files. It seems an append query would be best but just can't think the best way todo it.
Table Example:
Archive: Folder: User: SubFolder: Filename:
01 TA05420010125-01 8769091 WAG 20010125-01.tif
01 TA05420010125-01 8769091 TIM 20010125-02.tif
02 TA05420110324-01 8769091 WAG 20110324-01.tif
02 TA05420110324-01 8769091 TIM 2011032402.tif
02 TA05420110324-01 8769091 PD 20110324-02.tif
03 TA05420150114-01 8769091 VYE 20010125-01.tif
03 TA05420150114-01 8769091 DFU 20010125-02.tif
In the above example I only want to keep user 8769091 latest filename info from archive 3 and exclude the rest. I need todo this for over 3000 users who could have multiple versions.
i'm in the process of creating an Access database to import data in text files and then export the data as fixed width text files, this is now working fine
My next step is to be able to setup an "Archive" Table which will hold all the data i have imported across multiple import proceudres for the last 30 days, i then want to be able to "De-Dupe" any files i import against this to ensure i never load duplicate data.
Im trying to work on an db in Access 2007 that was migrated from Access 2003 (in fact its been migrated several times starting from Access 97). It executes and runs with no problems in both versions.
The problem is when trying to open some queries (not all) - Access is unable to open the query in design mode and gives me this error :
" is not a valid name. Make sure that it does not include invalid characters or punctuation and that it is not too long.
However, as I cant open it - I cant check it. Im pretty sure none of the fields have invalid characters (they do have spaces) and Im not sure how long is too long....
I need to produce a query that will show only one File and location even though there are multiple records contained within that File. To clarify,
In each individual record I have Id_No, Surname, File_Name, DOB, Location.
I need to shred the file once the person is over 25 years old, but some File_Name have different people with different dates of birth. I would like to display the File_Name only if all of other records in that File_Name are over 25 years. I have attached a picture of the query which I use to find the over 25's
I have a Database in which I would like to archive data once it is now longer actively being used. I have VBA code that does everything i need it to, however I would like to name the new archive table related to the dates in the data being archived. Below is the code I am using to archive and delete the information from the main table.
Code:
Dim strSQLCreate As String
Dim strSQLDelete As String
Dim strArchiveTableName As String
[Code].....
I know it will be in the "strArchiveTableName" variable, I am just not sure how to pull the dates out of the data being moved. The TestData table holds a date and time for each test, and the earliest and latest dates is what i want to append to the table name.
For example: Currently "tblTestData_A102Archive"What I want "tblTestData_A102_1/1/2012-1/1/2013"
I need to archive some data in a table with a checkbox on a form. I have tenants table & property tables. Sometimes tenants move out & new move in but i don't want to delete information from old tenant. But i can't have duplicate property id's assigned to different tenants.
So I made a checkbox on the tenants form that sets the tenant to active or inactive with a status column in the tenant table. how do i delete only the property ID so i don't have duplicates when the new tenant moves in?
I have a single table database for inventory. Every 3 months or so, some records get changed or updated. My manager wants to keep an archive of all of the records that have been changed so we can go back and look at an history of all of the records. So, My thought is to create an "Archive" table, appended all of the current records to it. Then, when changes are made, create an Append Query, or what ever works, to copy just the changed records from the Main to the Archive table. There are only 200 items in the inventory so it is not a large database.

The name of the image file matches a field in the Access table, which are unique. I would like to match those files to the unique number in the table and create a link in a field. How would I go about this.

Hello,
I have some data in excel which I am importing it into MS Access 2002. Each excel file (one worksheet per file) is imported into separate tables.
I want to combine all my imported tables into one table. Is that possible, if yes then how and if no then what can be done to get single table after impoting data from various excel files.
Cheers,
Mandeep
What is the strategy for doing this rather than the code (if it's possible)? I can code a fair bit of VBA in excel but I'm not too sure about what I'm doing in Access.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi:
The company I am consulting with uses Access 2000 and has no intentions of upgrading. I currently do not own Access on my laptop.
I was planning to purchase Access 2003 for my laptop but am concerned that files I create in 2003 might not be "editable" in 2000 even if I choose the 2000 format when creating new databases.
I'm just wondering if anyone has tried creating a file in 2003 (using the 2000 format - as I'm told you can choose what format you want to use) and then edited it in 2000. I want my client to be able to edit the files in 2000 once I've moved on. (I can get 2003 for about the same price as 2000 - so my preference would be to get 2003.) The other obvious reason for going for 2003 is that I could run into the reverse challenge if I own 2000 and my next client uses 2003. At that point, I'd be forced to upgrade to 2003.
My databases are not complex - but do include some customized macros.
Any help, comments... appreciated.
Thx,

If you want to use a "DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO" command to insert data in a table and the data to insert comes from a table and a form, could this be done in one pass?
So...writing a record wit 4 values from table1 together with a additional value from a textbox in table2 as 5 values.
Is there a way to append a pivot table to a table or possibly make a query based on a pivot table? I need to get a count of Part Numbers and I need the average price for all these parts. Additionally I want to ignore a count of less than 3.
Also I am having trouble filtering on the count in the pivot table... haha, so I was gonna Query on it later on.
I work for an airline, and we use an Access Database to track all baggage claims. The file is getting pretty large, so we want to remove the closed claims from the main table. Is it better to append the closed claims to a new table, or would it be better to export the closed files to an Excel document?
If I choose the option to Append to a new table, can this be done to a second database or just create an additional table in the existing file?
Any help that you can give, I'd greatly appreciate.
thanks!
I have a form with names and addresses on it that gets its information from a querry. On the form tis a button that operates a tick box to Arcive a record. I also have a list box that finds a record on my database when I click on the name.

I'm using Microsoft Access 2010. I want to create a database that people without Microsoft Access can use. If I create a database is it possible to use VBA in Excel to update a table in Access and then run/export a query? I know you can use Excel to communicate with MS Access but can you do it when you don't have MS Access installed on your computer?
I have daily sales data that I want someone without MS Access to be able to load into the database and then export a query from.
hi
i have a form with various fields, on this form i have an archive button that places certain fields in an archive form. however this does not remove the information from the main form. pls see attached
any ideas, as some will know i'm a newbie
Here is a question I have been hammering away at for a while but have not come up with an answer yet.
I am trying to come up with a way to make a digital archive in addition to the access database that i have been working on. Right now I have records for customers and all of their reservations, as this is a travel agency. I would like to be able to save all emails, pdf receipts, and any other applicable files that may pertain to that customer and/or on one level lower, their reservation.
Yes, I have heard of the attachment option in Access 2007, but I am getting mixed feelings about using that to solve this problem. One reason is because I have heard that this can make a database absolutely huge very quickly. (One question I have about that is whether or not that large size ends up slowing down the database or not?) My other concern is that after creating everything I would really like to integrate the database into SQL Server and only use access as the front end for forms and reports. And SQL Server 2005 does not work with access's new handy attachment feature in 2007.
This must be a common need with various businesses, so maybe you all have a few ideas out there. I would love to hear them!!! I am open to anything that solves this problem. Thanks for taking the time to read this and help me out.

Hi, we have a database for keeping record of our games (unreal tournament games).... Its just a simple database and we enter our results based on the following fields: -
Opponent:
Game Type:
Players:
Maps:
Date:
Result:
the file has started to get quite big and wondered if it would be possible to automatically move entries say that were older than a month old to a new table, or archive table. Im not a big access genious so i hope i have explained enough for you to understand what im trying to do here.
Thank you for your time, much appreciated.
How can I remove (delete) a page from a table (the entire row that has that specific data) and have it go into an archive? I don't want to completely delete the information, but I don't want to have it in my current table and have to have all kinds of filters and other criteria to view in my queries and reports.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to write a macro that will do the following:
- Look to a specific folder in my home drive (nb this may change)
- select all of the excel files that are in that folder
- select various cells in each of those spreadsheets - each spreadsheet is formatted the same with the same structure. The cells are random, e.g. D6, I22, H4, K4, D17, so I cannot select a whole range
- copy these cells and paste them into one row of a database
