The file was converted from excel. It is in Datasheet view. I select the first column and clip on the Ascending choice under the Home Tab. It works but leaves a large gab of blank rows. I go to the Database Tools tab and check Compact and Repair Database. The file returns to the original unorganized list.
View RepliesWhy the ability to view the properties of an object within a form is not available when you double click on it in design view?
I was happily working away double clicking on a command button to edit some code when for some reason the next time I tried to edit it did not open up for me.
I was unable to access it even by right clicking on the object & selecting properties as that also appears to be disabled, not greyed out or anything but just does nothing when selected.
Have I inadvertently changed a setting somewhere that prevents the properties from being displayed?
A newbie problem: Trying too display a linked picture using Win 8.1, get error picture too large. OK in Win 7.
Am using Access 2002 (10.6501.6567) SP3. The instruction flagged is:
Me![ImageFrame].Picture = Me![ImagePath]
I am working on a project that requires data transfer using TCPIP sockets. I am using a 3rd party Library (Ostrosoft) that handles the wsock32.dll api calls.
The project calls for the creation of a header that logs into a user account.
The first part of the header is a marker, with a value of 4,275,878,552. It is to be supplied in a Binary format of length 4.
My quesion is "How do I create this marker".
What I have tried so far is a string variable - strMarker thus:
strMarker = ChrB(&HFE) & ChrB(&HDC) & ChrB(&HBA) & ChrB(&H98)
Using the ChrB function to convert the Hex version of that number (FEDCBA98)
I have a form with a Treeview in. I have it populated from a self-referencing database using the following code.
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Const strTableQueryName = "SELECT * FROM tblHierarchy ORDER BY tblHierarchy.Function_Parent;"
Dim db As DAO.Database, rst As DAO.Recordset
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rst = db.OpenRecordset(strTableQueryName, dbOpenDynaset, dbReadOnly)
[Code] ....
The database this is referencing is about 30000 lines and it takes ~4 minutes to populate this way. I know Treeview isn't really supposed to be used in this way however it's what is required.
Now I have come up with the theory that I will populate each node with children as its clicked to be expanded.

I have a form with 10 combo-boxes. Once user selects a value in CB1- CB2 becomes visible and active. I am trying to run a dynamic query- where the selection of the combo-box is used to select a column from my table called "dbo_animals"
To elaborate: CB1 contains the following values
Code : elephant, giraffe, bufffalo, tiger, lion
Once the user selects elephant in CB1, CB2 becomes active and I select tiger next. So the query becomes like. The process can go on and the user can select up to 10 animals
Code : **SELECT elephant, tiger FROM dbo_animals**
Problem: I am able to create the query with string manipulation- Unfortunately due to the way the loop through controls is set up- The query is unable to convert the text into a reference. If I hard code it as
tempquery = "SELECT [Form]![Animal Finder]![CB1] FROM dbo_animals" MsgBox(tempquery)
It looks like
Code : SELECT Elephant from dbo_animals
This is how I want. But, since i am looping through CB controls, I have it set up as
Code : tempquery = "SELECT" & " [Form]![Animal Finder]![CB" & i & "] FROM dbo_animals"
and this shows up as
Code : SELECT [Form]![Animal Finder]![CB1] FROM dbo_animals
Thereby giving me an error saying that the reference is not valid and asking me for a parameter value.
This makes sense, since it is unable to evaluate the text as a reference.
How do I correct the text into a reference? Or How do I build a query with adjusting columns based off selections from a combo-box and loop through the comboboxes in the form while auto-updating the query?
I have been trying to convert string into double number format. I am running a SQL query in VBA that returns a double number format; however my understanding with SQL queries in VBA is that they return string only. The results are showing up perfectly fine when I run the query in the query editor; however when I try using the returned value in further calculations in VBA I keep getting a "Type Mismatch" error.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a table in access database which contains a text field 'EDate' that stores Date value in format (12-Apr-2013). Now I want to run a sql query on that field. User will give an input date. The sql query needs to fetch me all the records from access database whose Edate is less than or equal to the user input date.
I am using DateValue function to convert my text filed Edate into date. My query is something like this:
select * from table_name where DateValue(EDate)<='user_input_date'
I am able to perform above task if the system language settings are 'English'. But if system language settings are different say Turkish, then the query fails.
I searched a lot on web and found that DateTime function compares test data with the system date time format and gives the result. Thus it fails with different language settings.
I was working on a form in a database I have created, when I suddenly found myself unable to view any of the related Event Procedures.
I can still see [Event Procedure] next to each field, control, etc., as well as next to the On Open event. I just can't view any of them. I appear to be able to view the Events behind all other forms, it just isn't working for this particular one.
Clicking on the '...' to the right of the line does nothing, nor does right-clicking on this symbol and trying to access 'Build'.
Logging out of the Db, then back in, achieved nothing. Nor did rebooting the PC.
The only other peculiar thing I've noticed is that if I attempt to make a copy of this one form I get the message 'name conflicts with existing module, project or object library'. This message is displayed regardless of what name I enter.
Everthing was working fine, earlier on. Now I'm effectively locked out.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I am writing a vba procedure to updating some records in another Access database.
rsAccess.Open "SELECT * FROM AI_Table",conAccess, adOpenForwardOnly, adLockPessimistic
rsAccess!OCRExist = "Exist"
rsAccess.Update
it has about 3 millions of records in that AI_Table. In the procedure, I perform some calculation and put the result into a TEXT(50) field in the AI_TABLE. As it was updating the records, I could see the size of the Access database file (the one contained AI_Table) grew very quickly, almost 1 MB/sec. I am pretty sure I am not adding that much data. If I stop the procedure and packed the database, it shrunk a lot.
I am just wondering if there is anything wrong with the way I am locking or updating the records.
Thanks,

I hope someone can help with this.
I have a large file, more than 2 million records. I am accessing it from a form using parameters supplied from a combo box. There are 79 different parameters in the combo box that each normally access their proportionate number of records, about 40,000 each. This works well. With the table properly indexed, I get the 40,000 records selected within two or three seconds.
However, sometimes I want to access all records. In this case the operation takes forever. So, if I use the criteria in the query:
[Forms]![CriteriaPassingForm]![Criteria] the records are returned very quickly.
But, if I use the criteria:
Like "*" & [Forms]![CriteriaPassingForm]![Criteria] the return of records takes minutes instead of seconds.
Within the combo box I have one criteria which is 'null'. This does not match anything in the query, so according to the 'Like "*"' all records should be returned, which they are. But why does it take so much longer?
I'm thinking it has something to do with the operation of the index on the field I am querying.
Any ideas?
I have a large .dat file which is run through an Access macro to produce reports. After a recent system change at work the format of the .dat has changed and now includes an additional bit of data which disrupts the macro.
I tried changing the extension of the file from dat to mdb to see if I could remove the additional column in access. I also tried changing it to a csv file as well but the file has a few hundred thousand lines and the csv file cuts most of it out.
Are there any other ways I can open this file in Access to remove this additional column of data?
I am new to MS access 2007 but not new to Access. I am trying to open a form in the design view but that option is disabled along with other menu options. I checked the Ribbon and it appears to be a custom toolbar. I deleted that out of the box but I'm still unable to view the design of any objects. How do I enable the menu items?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am importing a delimited .txt file that has a number field. A value for a record coming in is 36,767 and Access is not accepting it. If I redefine the field as long integer or as double, I can manually update the record, but as soon as the file containing the record is imported, the field reverts back to integer.
How do I format the field with VBA so that Access will accept the value and not revert to integer?

I'm having a problem with mdb file size. I'm importing a large amount of data from a number of tab delimited text files via a simple transfertext function. The process goes: empty the tables in the database, then import the data into the tables.
All this works fine, but the file size rockets to over 1.5Gb. When I then compact and repair, it goes down to 420Mb. I'm not deleting and recreating the tables, and at no point is there 1.5Gb worth of real data, so what's causing this?
N.B. I realise I can call compact and repair following the import, but this is going to take too long as they are user-initiated imports.
I am attempting to create a metrics analysis table from another table. What I would like to do is copy the structure (only) from table 1 into a new table. Change all the fields in the new table to text (except for an ID field which would be an autonumber). Then run a seperate group by query against each column, counting the values in each group (i.e. first query would have two fields The grouped column and the column count.
Once I have these values I would like to concatenate them (with the count in parens) and then push these values back into the new table under the appropriate column.
My code does this. I basically loop through a recordset that runs to each column/field groups and counts and then Edits the new table with the concatenated data.
My first table is 170 fields and 38K records. The issue is that it's too much for Access to handle and it blows up (on field 123) Telling me the File is too large. The file does explode to 1G. Then I can shrink it back down to 67mb by running a repair and compact... and then run the the data for the rest of the fields in that table. When I compact again I get about 80Mb.
So now I have two tables, both with an ID field... so I try to link them together (via a make table query) and meld them into one table... but it keep running into that "File Too Large" issue.
How can I have two tables in a database file with a combined size of 80Mb, but when linked together are too large for the database file? Does it have something to do with having all text fields?
I looked up the limits to MS Access and the field count doesn't appear to be an issue since it's nowhere near 255... So what's the problem here?
Hi folks,
I have a query which pulls together several other queries. It works fine in Access but I also need it to work on a MS SQL server.
the SQL is as follows;
SELECT Client.ClientName, Entity.EntityName, IIf([101].[ProductID] IS NULL, [-], [X]) AS TA, IIf([301].[ProductID] IS NULL, [-], [X]) AS TR, IIf([302].[ProductID] IS NULL,
[-], [X]) AS CU, IIf([304].[ProductID] IS NULL, [-], [X]) AS TC, IIf([502].[ProductID] IS NULL, [-], [X]) AS FA, IIf([503].[ProductID] IS NULL, [-], [X]) AS MO
FROM Client LEFT JOIN
Entity ON Client.ClientID = Entity.ClientID LEFT JOIN
VIEW_PROD301 AS 301 ON Entity.EntityID = [301].EntityID LEFT JOIN
VIEW_PROD302 AS 302 ON Entity.EntityID = [302].EntityID LEFT JOIN
VIEW_PROD304 AS 304 ON Entity.EntityID = [304].EntityID LEFT JOIN
VIEW_PROD502 AS 502 ON Entity.EntityID = [502].EntityID LEFT JOIN
VIEW_PROD503 AS 503 ON Entity.EntityID = [503].EntityID LEFT JOIN
VIEW_PROD101 AS 101 ON Entity.EntityID = [101].EntityID;
The problem seems to be with the iif statement.
Any ideas how I can gt around this?

I am trying to find a way to extract an email from a large text file that is an output from our email system. I would like to be able to extract the email address using a query or collection of queries. I have been able to extract all of the text that contains the @ symbol. From their I created a query expression:
