Access Field And Table Names
Jun 30, 2005
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

I'm getting the following error :
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Driverserror '80040e14'
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'Description One LIKE '%flip%''.
/sbs/search_prods.asp, line 22
I know that it's becuase the field name is Access is "Description One" as opposed to "DescriptionOne" or "Description_One".
The problem is that I can't alter the actual DB table (it is part of another system that I'm attempting to integrate the site with). Is there anyway to write a query statement that will allow for field names to have spaces in them?
Thanks!

Is it possible to have the field names in a table be set by the values in another table? The desire being that for a database used in various locations, the local variations could be changed in one table which would then propagate that change throughout all the forms, reports, tables etc.

Just a quickie- i hope. :rolleyes:
I am in the process of trying to merge two large databases. I have four tables that really should be one to work in the new DB. I just need to be able to print a list of fields in each table so that I can work on the new combined structure before making the changes. I know I can use the documenter but this produces a very comprehensive list which is much more than I need.
Is there anyway of producing a similar list without the detail, just showing the field names.
Thanks

I should change the Fields(1) and Fields(2) to the actual fields names.
field 1 should be EmployeeListID
field 2 should be ItemsID
PHP Code:
Dim rs As dao.RecordsetDim db As dao.DatabaseSet db = CurrentDbSet rs = db.OpenRecordset("tblEmployeeItems",
dbOpenDynaset)rs.AddNewrs.Fields(1) = Me.[lstAvailableEmployees]rs.Fields(2) = Me.
[lstAvailableItems]rs.Updaters.Closedb.CloseSet rs = NothingSet db = Nothing

I need to delete all the field names from my table so I can import a new excel file with different field name headings,
currently I run:
DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE * from table1"
this deletes the data in the table, but not field names.
What Vba command will allow me to do this.

I have a very experienced colleague who has Access 2013 and has the following issue:
For some reason, Access keeps recapitalizing the first character of the field names when I save, close, and reopen the table in design view! I just spent several hours lower casing prefixes only to discover after I ran a routine to extract the field names that they had been recapitalized!
I've fiddled with turning off Autocorrect, but that seems to do nothing positive for me. How to turn this feature OFF?

Hi.
Other than manually moving fields in a table in design mode, can I get the fields alphabetized?

I am working on an form (using Access 2000 and VBA) that stores registration information, along with events that were attending, in a table and later retrieves that same information from the table to display the regist. info, events attended, and allows the user to change any current info along with adding new/recently attended events to each record.
I am currently allowing a max of six events, along with event details, to be stored and I am running through six different if statements to match the Event_List (name of the combo box that contains "Event 1 Event 2...Event 6") to the appropreiate information in the table. I have started to simplify the code to remove the redundancy by running a Do While to to find the correct Event by using an integer variable that starts at 1 and is incremented until it matches the 7th character (the number portion) of the Event chosen from the Event_List. After this I want to use that integer variable to say what event information in the table to gather. My problem is this: I have tried many different varieties of the following code and I am unable to make it work. I had never used Access up until a week and a half ago, and a few days ago I went and bought the book "Access VBA Programming for Dummies" but it doesn't help for this problem. Here's part of the code:
Variables (Event_Name, PMT, Receipt, Payment_Type, PIF) refer to Form textboxes while the variables in the [] refer to table field names.
'------Code I'm Currently Working On-------
Dim intX As Integer
Dim EventVal As Integer
Dim strX As String
intX = 1
EventVal = Val(Mid(Event_List, 7, 1))
Do While EventVal <> intX And intX < 6
intX = intX + 1
Loop
strX = str(intX)
Dim E_Name As String
Event_Name = [Event strX ]
PMT = [PMT strX]
Receipt = [Receipt strX]
Payment_Type = [Payment Type strX]
PIF = [Paid In Full strX]
'-----Old Code That I'm trying to simplify-------
If Event_List = "Event 1" Then
Event_Name = [Event 1]
PMT = [PMT 1]
Receipt = [Receipt 1]
Payment_Type = [Payment Type 1]
PIF = [Paid In Full 1]
Camp_Site = [Camp Site 1]
Cabin_Number = [Cabin Number 1]
ElseIf Event_List = "Event 2" Then
Event_Name = [Event 2]
PMT = [PMT 2]
Receipt = [Receipt 2]
Payment_Type = [Payment Type 2]
PIF = [Paid In Full 2]
Camp_Site = [Camp Site 2]
Cabin_Number = [Cabin Number 2]
ElseIf Event_List = "Event 3" Then
Event_Name = [Event 3]
PMT = [PMT 3]
Receipt = [Receipt 3]
Payment_Type = [Payment Type 3]
PIF = [Paid In Full 3]
Camp_Site = [Camp Site 3]
Cabin_Number = [Cabin Number 3]
PLEASE HELP!!!!

I have a form with several data fields on it. I also have a button on the form that allows the user to duplicate a record . The reason for this duplication is so that if there will be an additional client record for the same customer, but only one piece of data will need to be changed, it's easier to copy the record and then change the one field.
However, I am getting the following message:
"some of the field names you tried to paste don't match fieldnames on the form"
and then not all data in all fields gets duplicated.
I need to figure this out, but am going nuts with it. If anyone has an idea or two they'd care to toss my way, I would be happy.
Thanks one more time, in advance!!

I would like to import excel sheet that contains about 45 fields and the fields names are not well defined(not obey the Access rules). I would like to import the sheet into ms access without changing the excel sheet because i have to provide only the interface to users where they have to import sheets only. (All the time In Excel fields name are arranged and in specific order but invalid names of fields).
After 1 week the person has new excel sheet with same format and the process of importing data into ms access will be continue for whole year or more.

Currently, I have a form with a combobox that lists all of the names of the tables inside my database. Depending on the table selected in the first combobox, I would like to have another combobox which allows the user to choose from the field names inside that table.

Im constructing a form with check boxes next to names. Id like to have the checked names input serially into a single table field like:
IssuedTo
Name1, Name2, Name3
There are 8 possible Names. Is there way to do this without a long complicated If-Else-Then function?

I'm a bit in over my head. Unfamiliar with Access macros, I need to write a bunch of them for work, and soon. Unixen I can deal with, largely undocumented convoluted Access macros are something else....
My current problem is: I have a table. The first column has a value in it for almost every row. However, there are six other columns after it. I need to write a macro to automatically delete all of the rows that don't have data in the last six columns. Microsoft Help is, as always, of zero use. The FindRecord feature allows me to use expressions to search, but of course, the help fails to tell me what syntax Access uses.
Oh, and it asks me to select a table from the drop-down list. Can I use wildcards here? Is there a way to get it to automatically open the newest table, or will we have to change the macro accordingly each month?
Most tutorials/guides I'm Googling rather brilliantly repeat the same things the help does, AKA, are useless. (Why do they bother writing them if you're not giving new information...?)
I'd ask about the other various access questions I have, but I can pick them up as I go, this is the most pressing question.

I’m developing a claim tracking database that tracks dates of events that occur in the course of processing a claim; such as, Loss Date, Report Date, Estimate Date, Payment Date, etc. There are 16 different “Events” in all.I currently have the following tables set up:
tblClaim
ClaimID
ClaimNumber
fkEmpID
tblEmployee
EmpID
EmpName
[code]....
What I need to do is create a form where management can choose two or more events, and calculate the average number of days between two of any of the events, for an employee, or all employees.I have created a crosstab query to change the values in the EventName field in tblEvents to field names, and the EventDate as values for the related EventNames. I created another query based on this query to do the DateDiff.
I created combo boxes on my form with the Row Source Type set to Field List, for a list of fields in my crosstab query. I’ve tried to use the following DateDiff function to get the days between the two fields selected in my combo boxes:
Code:
DateDiff("d",[Forms]![frmReportBuilder]![cboEvent1],[Forms]![frmReportBuilder]![cboEvent2])
But I get an error about unrecognized field name or expression for my combo boxes. So I added my combo boxes in the query parameter window, with a data type as both text and value, but with both I get an error “This expression is typed incorrectly or is too complex to be evaluated.” I also specified the column headings in the crosstab but I still am getting the “too complex” error.I’m pretty sure it’s trying to do a Datediff on the literal values in the comboboxes and not recognizing that I’m trying to specify field names.Is it possible to assign field names in DateDiff this way?

If 2 tables have a field named 'EmployeeID' (for example), are you screwed when it comes to queries and vba, as far as selecting fields / specifying data goes?

I need an opinion. I'm new to access so I'm really lost I have to create a database consisting of 20 clients. Then they gave me 4 steps I had to accomplish:
Create a total of all account balances, so the total number of recievables are known.
For each account, calculate the number of days each balance has been outstanding.
Classify the account into 4 groups three late (30,60,90 days overdue) and one current (under 30 days), Total the amount of outstanding recievables for each catagory.
Sort using number of days balance is outstanding as primary sort key and outstanding balance as the second sort key.
My question is should I make a field called Days overdue and a separate one for outstanding balance. It also seems they want me to do calculations in the table. I thought that was not an excepted taboo? Are the 4 goals possible to accomplish in access? Please give me some help!

I have 2 questions/problems:
1. I want to populate a list box with all the Tables Names in my Database using VBA.
2. I also want to create another List Box or Grid (or any thing that will show table data) that when i have select a Table Name (See above (1)) it will show all the data in that table in the List Box. Was thinking some kind of SQL using vba to populate the list box?
Any ideas or help will be much appreciated

Hi,
I have succeeded (with some help from this site!) in creating a clinical database for the Diabetes Care team in our hospital. Now, our IT helpdesk staff want me to list the field names and data types. The design view of the tables seems to contain everything they need, but I have tried everything and cannot find a way to paste this info. out into any other format, Word, Excel etc. Has anyone ever managed this or is there something else I should do?

I have been looking at the way I name fields and thought I'd Google the topic. Seems to be a split as to prefix names or not. Looks like the SQL Sever and Oracle groups say not to while Access users are kind of directed to use them...
While I have not prefixed names in the past, I was going to do my next db with the things like:
intMyFldName
strMyFldName
etc...
Where as in the past I would do something like:
my_fld_name_one
my_fld_name_two
etc...
What do you all see as some of the pro's and con's?
