I am using Access 2010 on a Windows 7-64bit machine. I am trying to begin an employee database using the faculty template. It would be exceptionally useful if the "Add from Outlook" command that is built into the "Faculty list" form would fill more than just the name, email address, and phone number fields. There are fields on the form for Department which match available info from the Outlook address book, but isn't imported.How can I tweak the command to fill the additional fields?
I work for a large company, whose contact directory in outlook is enourmous (thousands of employees). Outlook currently manages its contact directory very efficiently. its very easy to search and email individuals. In my access database I would like to be able to have that same functionality. To pull contacts from outlook via a search, without actually importing outlook contacts.
I am designing a database for asset tracking of Lab equipment. Lab equipment gets borrowed or relocated frequently and I would like to assign a name/phone/email quickly and without error, when I need to input a record of equipment movement.
I need to add two additional columns for each imported spreadsheet, which are not in the original files.
First column, named 'Customer Name', needs to retrieve information from cell A6 in Excel file, which is not part of range "name" that is imported to Access. If necessary, I could somehow include it in this range but then I still would have a problem of how to repeat a value of A6 in each row of table in Access.
Second column, named "File Name", I would like to include an Excel file name from which data was imported. Again, I would like to repeat value for each row in the table, i.e. if I have 6 rows with data from file X, I would like to repeat X.xlsx in each row in column "File Name".
Code: Dim strFile As String DoCmd.SetWarnings False DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE * FROM Data;" ' Set file directory for files to be imported strPath = "C: est"
I'm having problems importing a spreadsheet from Excel for a client.
They are using Access 2003 and Excel 2007, 3.5GB RAM
It works perfectly on my machine - Excel 2010 and Access 2007-2010, 4 GB RAM.
The file is imported in Excel 97-2003 format via a macro using the transferspreadsheet function.
It returns error 3274: "external table is not in the expected format."
There are 1488 rows and 71 columns in the spreadsheet and resulting table - in future additional columns may need to be added representing new critical data.
The interesting thing was that it worked fine on my machine. Then as a trial and error process I cut the file down to 26 columns and it worked fine. 52 columns also imported. But it gave up when there were 71 columns.
if 52 columns * 1488 rows =77,376 record worked, that's more than the magic number of 65,536. but it doesn't like 71*1488 = 105648 records. Is there a limit at 100,000, or some other number in between? I would have thought Access could hold/import much more than this.
I'm trying to import a text file with 273 fields into two tables. I've been able to do this with the code I found on an old thread and I'm now trying to accomplish everything with one step. The file I'm importing is tab delimited text file. With this current code I'm only able to populate the first record in the table and then I get error message. (Run-time error '3265') (Item cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the reqested name or ordinal).
Code:
Public Sub ImportTextFile() ' to use the ADODB.Recordset, be sure you have a reference set to ADO Dim rst As ADODb.Recordset Dim rst2 As ADODb.Recordset Dim strFile As String Dim strInput As String Dim varSplit As Variant Dim intCount As Integer
Hi, I’m new to access and I have read through a couple of books but still struggling.
If I make a tables with my info in it say customer details, use quires to sort display and print that info. Now is that query saved and do I end up with lots of query’s (hundreds.) Or I’m assuming that that query is then lost (don’t know the correct term) and the only way of getting this info back is make a query asking for the same info criteria.
I’m thinking of an invoice made up of info from a contact table My invoices are very simple I only supply labor and materials and don’t have set prices for ether, so I need to insert prices that I input and text that I input Both will be manually inputted although some sort of auto text that can be edited to make each invice individual would be nice
Hope this makes some sort of sense, can any one point me to some key areas that I can read up on
I have a small database that tracks staff training. Main tables are:
tb_staff tb_courses tb_courses_done
1 staff can take many courses. I want to introduce booking - staff can book a course but not necessarily attend. Can I just add a table, say tb_course_booked and use an update query to add to tb_courses_done as needed? Would that work?
I have 2 tables, one called [Addresses] and the other called [2006_Contacts]. The table [Addresses] has a number of various fields relating to contact data of people. The [2006_Contact] table has 2 fields [Last Name] and [First Name]. I want to run a query that pulls the contact data from the main [Addresses] table, but only if the contact name ([First Name] and [Last Name]) are present in the table [2006_Contacts].
I have a form that I am in the midst of creating. On this Form there are several football club names (e.g. A1, B2, C3 etc.). These buttons contain the Team List for the club. I have set a macro up to email the list to the relevant contacts for each Club. But if some club changes the contact person, is there some way I can have the macro open in design mode on the form so that the end user (who may not be familiar with Access) can just change the email address. Or does this involve code, which I am not great with, but am trying to learn. Any help is greatly appreciated.
i want to add list of 2015 courses and have a seperate tab for 2015 courses(just like 2012,2013,2014).All the courses are setup as queries, which is why i can not seem to add to them.If you go in 2014, 2013 tab you will see list of coures for those years, i just want exactly same thing for 2015. All the courses are same, juwst their name is slightly diff.
I created this database long time ago, but now my boss wants to import the contacts list from outlook into the database. Now, these lists will differ per user. Right now there are 6 users, who are using the database and they all will have different contacts lists. How can I import it in a manner, when they login the outlook will will search for their contacts only and let them make changes.
I want to create a form and this form will already be filled with the contact info from the outlook, and half of the form is for the user's comments so they can circulate the information through a report to different people.
I hope I was able to send my msg across. I am pretty bad at explaining stuff.
and it works mainly except for two problems: (1) I renamed all the forms on the Database main window. But when I open the forms, on the top blue bar, it still reads the old names. How do I change that to new names?
(2) I've changed the "Calls" table and forms to "Actions." I've renamed the "Calls" button on the main "Contacts" form which is now "Projects." The old key field "ContactID" is now "ProjectID." When I click on the "Calls" button to go to the "Calls" form/subforms, box says "cannot find field "ContactID" referred to in your expression. How do I fix it so that it recognises the new key "ProjectID"? They are linked correctly on relationship--or at least they're linked exactly the way it was linked in the template.
Hi there, I am pretty much a newbie on Access. (yay). Now I am doing a simple contacts database and need to assign whether specific contacts wand information being sent to them. Now I have all the other fields required. But the check boxes that I have put on the form are not changing according to the contact. (as in if the check box is ticked, it is ticked for all of them):( :confused:
How do I go about assiging it specifically to that contact? - If I am making sense. Any hints/tips would be greatly appreciated:)
I need to create a report with multiple subforms. I set up my first report and then I believe I need to add "more detail" sections or another page to this report so i can drag in my additional forms.
How do i separate out sub forms? Ideally I will want to have the main table on the top then the sub form in the middle, then the next on the bottom of the page.

Hi. Im a beginner-intermediate access user (I guess) and I am working on a stakeholder management database, which essentially enables me to separate organisations, individuals, the affiliation between the two, and addresses of either individual or organisation. (pic of relationships included).
Originally, I stored address values on each respective table (ie. org address was on the org table, individual address on the individual table). However then it became apparent that one organisation (in my line of business) can have many address sites, therefore the need to nominate multiple addresses.
So I figured that the best method would be to have an address repository, and orgs or individuals are assigned to that address via a MultiAddress table. The preferred postal address would be nominated by an address preferred field in another junction table.
Seems to work ok through the form (see form pic attached), but Im concerned that when I try to run queries/reports that I'll get duplications or other anomalies.
Hello All, At work we have a large and messy Contacts list so I decided to set one up using a database. At present I have 3 tables:- Companies (custID,companyname,address,etc) People (nameID,firstname,middlename,lastname,custID) Phones (phoneID,phonetype,areacode,number,?????)
My problem is this, Some of the phone nos belong to the individuals and some belong to the company. If a person is replaced at a company I need to reasign the company phone nos to the new person whilst retaining the individuals and their personal phone nos. If a company is deleted I need to delete only the company phone nos. and if a person moves within the company I want the company nos to reasign to the new replacement but keep the personal nos of the individual. Now I see its going to be more complex than I thought.
Can anyone help me with the table layout and links. (nb this is only a simple database relating a person to a company without using departments etc.) Its main use is to provide phone nos names and addresses quickly. Many Thanks Peter
I am bulding a contacts DB for work and am a bit of a newbie with Access. I have a table for Individuals and a table for Organisations. Both have address fields. On the individual's form there is a drop down for Organisation, which is linked to the organisations table (fk). The form has a sub-form which displays work address. I want the work address field to update to the Address field in the Organisations table when an organisation is selected on the drop down. I am using Acess 2003. Could somebody point me in the right direction please?
I'm creating a database full of contacts. I have a contacts table with detailed info on each contact and I also have a company table with details on each company - all companies attached to a contact are in the company table plus a few others. I'd like to be able to pull up a company profile and see all the contacts we have associated with that company displayed in a list.
Ok, I have 3 tables. One lists a contact in conjunction with the branch of the company and the trips that contact takes. The second lists a contact in conjunction with the branch of the company and which team they work with (may work with many). The third should list their email address and their phone number. Is it possible to pull the contact name and branch of company from tables 1 and 2 into 3 automatically, such that all I have to input into table 3 is additional contact information? If that is possible, is it also possible to only pull each contact/branch of company pairing once (I don't want four entries for Joe Shmoe/Sales, even if he's taken 4 trips)?
Table 1 Branch of Company Trip Dates Trip Location Contact
Sales 4/1/14-4/12/14 Chicago Joe Shmoe
HR 6/2/13-6/4/13 New York Jane Doe
Table 2 Branch of Company Company Team Contact
Sales Blue Devils John Deere
Sales Jets John Deere

I have a db with three linked (related) tables. I have a form that has, at present, only one of these tables as a data source. Now I want to bring a couple of fields from another table into that form.
I know how to link a table to two data sources when first creating a table. But how do I do it when the table already exists?
I tried Table Design View | View Properties | Data source, but that allows only one data source. If I link to another, the first disappears.
