can anyone direct me to a good tutorial regarding transfering records between two databases..
i need some example that is quite simple to understand..
where it shows you where to put the table names.. and the field names.. and the database location.. etc
thanks in advance..
ok, basically our website will input form details directly into a database. this database will be held online obviously..
once the details are inside, how easy will it be to transfer a record into a table of another database.. (our main database.. which is offline for security purposes).
im assuming it wont be too hard.. both access versions are the same.. and they can both be open at once.. etc..
can anyone shed some understanding on this issue
I work in a hospital where each ward has its own identical but UNLINKED staff database. I wanted to make a single database but the management was adamant that for confidentiality they should each be standalone. I lost this argument!
Data is stored in 7 tables: Identity, annual leave, sick leave, qualifications, etc.
Too late, someone has realised that staff may transfer from one ward to another, so the whole record needs to be transferred. What's the best way to do this?
So far the process I have come up with is:
Choose the person you wish to export from the source database
Run 7 queries to export the records from the various tables e.g. to Excel
Create linked tables in the target database to pick up these records
Run import queries.
I set up a macro to run the 7 export queries, using the "OutputTo" action and specifying .xls for the output format. But the files created don't appear to be readable by Access. In Explorer, they only have the Windows icon and are just "files".
Does anyone know a better way to tackle this problem?
Is there an easy way to combine records from two separate databases with the same data fields?

View 2 Replies View RelatedYou'll have to forgive me I kinda new at this. I have a form with a non linked subform on it. The main form has one control on it called CustomerID, the subform's record source is from a select query that is updated by a cmdButton on the main form. The cmdButton runs an update query. One of the controls in the subform is called CustomerID, this control has no other purpose than to hold the same value that the main forms control (CustomerID) has. I want the cmdButton's OnClick event to transfer the value from the mainform CustomerID and place it into the subform CustomerID. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

This is my problem i am going to try and explain myself as clearly as possiable hopefull you will be able to understand me.
When i enter my data bank through Access, a mask opens or is it a form i am not too sure but i have sent an attachment with the sceen image.
Lets say i am looking for the data of John. I click on search and i find him. Now my Mask or form has sub forms in them for diffent information, i have made a large red circle on the attached picture to show what exactly i am talking about. These sub folders contain information such as gernerall information, bussiness information etc.
All this information ... data is part of john 's dataset or data record. SO what i want to do is take his data all of it and send it to john himself and he then can edit it and send it back to me and i want to check it and if i am satisfied with the data i can update the new information automatically into my database. and i want to beable to edit it myself too. i want all his data to be like a data book of john. The editing can take place it any problem such as Accesss itself or word or excell i just wan to be able to edit and transfer my data without damaging or loosing information.
My probles are as follows:
1) how to send john's information all of it
2) how to add it back to my database both automacticly and manuelly
3) how to edit his data as a whole, not bits and pices. as if it was one long report.
Thanks i hope i was clear enough
Evening Gents.
I've created a database which is going to need a fair amount of data uploading into it (a long laborious procedure).
My initial plan to cut the work load for one person was to create 2copies of the database and split the upload in half (get two people to do it).
However, one of my tables is a parent to around 4 childs, therefore when i copy the information from this parent table in datasheet view from one db to another, it doesnt transfer it's associated data.
Is there anyway to get around this? Any advice/tips/hints would be much appreciated
(hope this has made sense, please let me know if clarification is needed)
I have a macro which transfers a fixed width file to my desktop. The name is neppow.txt. Can I have this file land with the date dynamcially populated in the name?

thanks!

Im stuck on a project that I have received help on before. I am trying to E-Mail a daily report created by a macro in Access 2000. It needs to go out as an excel spreadsheet, but in a format that can be opened in a Blackberry. The advise i was given was to use Transferdatabase. This is where i become unstuck. No matter what I type where i come unstuck. Is there anyone out there that can possibly advise me what to do in "idiot proof" steps?
Im afraid my knowledge of Access is limited to 2 weeks self taught knowhow ?
I need to set up an automated process to transfer data from about 25 tables from one database to another. This will happen on a weekly basis and I'm wondering what the best way to set this up is.
Both are Access 03 db files. The main database has data for a dozen or so clinics and I need to get the data for one clinic out and in to the the secondary db. The data in the secondary db will be replaced every week with fresh data from the main db. Once it is refreshed with new data the clinic will download the db from our site.
My first thought is to just export queries to CSV files and then import them in to the secondary db file. If run from a macro it could be a scheduled task. I could then import the CSV files. This could also be automated with a macro.
Any other ideas.
I've transferred a database to a new PC, with Office 2002 installed.
The forms hold some text data and a photograph.
The database loads and displays correctly.
But I cannot add a new photograph. I get a message something like: Microsoft Access cannot get the OLE something-or-other. Sorry for the lack of detail, but I'm sending this from another PC.
Is there something (on Disc 2 of Office 2002?) that I need to install after I've installed Access & the rest of Office? Should I have opted for a full installation?
After much messing around, I got rid of this error - but still no photo. Instead, the filename of the photo is displayed in the window where the photo should be.
Please help!!!
I have a database scheduled to run nightly. In this database I have a macro that runs a macro. I want one of the arguments to export "T_Update_Log" from the database to an excel file as part of it's nightly macro. When I use "Transfer Spreadsheet" in my macro, it creates a new worksheet in my excel file each night (for example: T_Update_Log1, T_Update_Log2, etc) Instead, I want it to overwrite existing one.
I have also tried "Export" command, but that throws a prompt asking if I want to overwrite the existing excel file. I cannot have any message prompts during my nightly task or else it will stop the whole process. Setting the Warnings to No does not stop this particular message prompt.
Thoughts? Thanks in advance!
A customer wants to do electronic funds transfer from an accounts receivable system that I wrote for them. The only information that I have gotten from their bank is that the data should be in ACH (automated clearinghouse) format. I have never dealt with this before, but I assumed that I would just have to output the data in probably an ASCII file. I have been searching the net, but have only seen software or services that handle this. I haven't found any definitive information on exactly what the details of ACH format are. I was also surprised not to find any threads here about this. I'm sure there are plenty of those who have already dealt with this.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

What now i want to do is from a master table i want to tranfer all details of a particular car either to " Vehicles in Garage" or " Vehicles assigned to drivers" tables/forms.
Is this possible ?

P.S. I hope this is the right section for this .
Hi,
I am new to using access, and agreed to work on a site not designed by me.
We want to host this site elsewhere but I am having difficulties backing up the access database; I can't find a way to copy the stored procedures.
Is there a way to export or save the entire database, including the stored procedures? I suspect that this must be a very common task but I could not find any info on how to do this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Mukti

View 6 Replies View RelatedHey everyone,
I am a complete lamen on this, I am finding. Here is what I want to do.
I have an access database file with two tables inside it: Distributions AND Plan Data
In both tables, I have the following fields:
CRS ID Number:
Plan Name:
Company Name:
Company Address 1:
Company Address 2:
Company City:
Company Zip:
Company Federal Tax ID:
Company State Tax ID:
I want to be able to type in a 3-digit CRS ID Number in my form for DISTRIBUTIONS and for it AUTOMATICALLY to find that CRS ID number in PLAN DATA and populate all these common fields using data from PLAN DATA, inserting it into the DISTRIBUTIONS table.
The reason I need it to pull the data from PLAN DATA and insert it into DISTRIBUTIONS table is because we are using some out-of-access features that require us to have all data in one table. Thanks!
I have imported a table from another database, and so I need to transfer data from the imported one, to another table in the database; only certain fields though. I have created the fields I want to copy the data into, in the second table. So I just need to go through all the rows in the second table, find the row in the imported table by ID, and take the data I want from it using VBA.
Does anyone have any idea what the code would look like?
Can anybody help please.
I've set up a database and built a query to export records to excel.
However, it appears to truncate the export at 150 rows. I've run the query in access and it brings back 170 rows.
Ideas?
