I have programed an access aplication that downloads some data from ORACLE, to do so it used some linked tables, my problem is that the first time that the user runs the 'insert into local_table (colum_1) select column_1 fom linked_table' access displays the 'Microsoft ODBC for ORACLE Connect' form, I'd like to control this conection programatically and not to show this window. ¿can this be done?
thanks on advance
I have linked tables from SQL Server using ODBC connection that their location never changes. I have used certain fields of those tables to create queries and make table queries to derive to the information I needed.
On these tables on SQL Server, there is new data added daily. Every day, midnight, there's new data records added of whatever transactions took place in that working day. how often do I need to refresh linked tables in this case to get the latest data added. I mean, once I am linked, the make table query using those defined fields, would it get the latest data added by default when the query is executed, or I must refresh linked tables using Linked Table Manager and then run make table query.
Also, if I want the access to automatically refresh linked tables, can I use the following code? I have added this code, and executing it through a button, but I don't see anything happen, the database becomes inactive for couple seconds (I guess while it is updating) but I don't know is it updating the tables for sure or not, though I am not receiving any error when executing the code through the button.
Function RefreshLinkedTables()
Dim tdf As TableDef
For Each tdf In CurrentDb.TableDefs
If Len(tdf.Connect) > 0 Then
tdf.RefreshLink
End If
Next td
End Function
Currently I'm working on an invoicing database in which I can register my customers (or partners) and also make invoices and purchase orders. So far, it does exactly what I want it to do, but I'm struggling with the invoice numbers. What I want to have is that whenever I make a new record, the next invoice number in sequence is automatically assigned to it. Another desire is that this number is prefixed with the current year, and the counter should reset with every new year. So, for example:
2015001
2015002
2015003
etc.
Then
2016001
2016002
etc.
Don't worry about the maximum of 999 invoices, because I won't ever go beyond that limit.
In a form I have a combobox(2 column and 8 row)
I would like that when the user opens the form and adds a new record the combobox showed the row immediately following the condition defined in the previous record.
For example.
First time that I open the form I select the combobox the condition A.
Second time that I open the form the combobox automatically selects the condition B
Third time that I open the form then the combobox automatically show me the condition 3
I am trying to come up with automatic line numbers for each specific order. So for example, I have job number 123456 that has ordered 3 items, what I would like is that item 1 has a field with a 1 in it automatically, and item 2 has a 2 in the field and so on. But the trick is that when order 123457 gets entered and has 5 items entered, I would like it to start over at 1 and go to 5. Does this make sense? Is it possible to do this in a table? Or can this happen on the form? That I assign a value to a field. I am using Access 2010, have been for a few years now, but I have lots to learn.

I have a training database that I have set up and utilize to track attendee data and who is registered to which course.I have a course registration table that has a course title field which is a drop down list populated by course titles from the courses table, and a trainee id field.
For whatever reason, when I view reports or queries that draw from this table, access will make changes to the first record in the course registration table course title field i.e. it will take whoever is in the first record, and change the course they were registered to.

I am tying to create a setup application in access. The setup forms are incorporated in the database application.It has to split my database into a FE and BE so that the corresponding files can be placed in thier corresponding files folders automatically.
Iam doing this because the database has to be exported to a number of remote locations every after two weeks.
Apart from using the Database Splitter, Could there be any Ideas on how i can split and link my database through code.
I am using DMax function for my custom autonumber
I just realized that when using this in a multi user environment, I am getting duplications.
This field is not the primary key, and I am using this as a group ID and cannot set it to “no duplications”
My form also has a sub form, and when entering the sub form, the main record gets saved automatically.
First I added the following procedure
Private Sub Form_AfterInsert()
If IsNull(Me.OrderNo) Then
Me. OrderNo = DMax("OrderNo ", "tblOrder") + 1
End If
Private Sub cmdSave_Click()
If IsNull(Me.OrderNo) Then
Me. OrderNo = DMax("OrderNo ", "tblOrder") + 1
End If
However, I then realized the after insert function will add the new autonumber to the form. However, it will not saved it to the table until the main record is saved again (which may not happen)
“DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord” doesn’t seems to be working after the “Form_AfterInsert”
Now I moved the code to the “Form_BeforeUpdate” (still testing)
Does anyone have any experience on this problem?
Thank you

Hi there,I know very little about Access but been asked to find out if this is possible:On a database we have a date field for when subscription is due, is there any way that if a DirectDebit method of payment has been chosen, when the date of renewal is, access will automatically update the year to the next one?Thank you very muchCathy
View 1 Replies View RelatedOur small newspaper needs to create a database of subscribers from which we can print labels in what the post office calls "Walk Sort" order, the order in which the mail carrier hand delivers the mail on his route. The number associated with a particular subscriber is not fixed because if another subscriber is added on that mail carriers route, it may fall between two existing entries. So the Walk Sort field needs to automatically renumber up or down when an entry is added or deleted. I will use that field to sort chronologically and print form feed labels.
I've figured out a way to do this in Excel, but I think Access might be a better program to use for this database. My question is, can Access automatically renumber a Walk Sort field if I add or remove entries? If so, how do I set it up to do that?
P.S. I haven't used Access for quite some time, and I wasn't very proficient with it then. :o
Hello everybody,
I have many front end's (using ACCESS 2007 runtime version) in different terminals. Suppose that from 'terminalA', I am assigning a task to an employee who's using 'terminalB'. The user is already looged on to the program by this time, so I want that 'task' to appear on his terminal without him having to press the 'Refresh' button (that I placed on the form) every time I give him a new task when he's logged on so he could see it. How would I do this?
Thank you very much.

I am building an employee performance report database. Part of this report I need to integrate initial and midterm feedback dates. These dates are as such:
The initial is 30 days after supervision started or annual performance report completed
The midterm is 120 after supervision started or annual performance report completed
I'd like to give the supervisor a set month for their feedback completions as a guidline. If they are a few days prior or after the "30 day or 120 day mark" it is not a big deal, so I am just wanting it to automatically calculate the month rather than a specific day. After a performance report is completed the intial and midterm feilds should automatically update to calculate the new feedback dates for the next year.
The most updated dates need to be available for supervisors to print on a master report on all their subordinates. No need to store older dates (unless the performance report has not been completed yet)
Pertinent Info:
Form: Perf_Report
Table: Rater_tbl
Field Name 1: Initial ::: (format = mmmm)
Field Name 2: Midterm ::: (format = mmmm)
Field Name 3: Date of Supervision ::: (format = dd mmm yyyy)
Field Name 4: Report Completion ::: (format = dd mmm yyyy)
Hi
I have a column which is made up of two parts from the table as follows...
function area .... FINANCE
ID number ... 001, 002, 003 etc
combined together this will make my ID column which should look somehting likie this : FINANCE 001, MARKETING 002 etc
BUT
the problem is that now i need to import some existing data into the tables and it appears as though the existing data has repeating numbers for different function areas
e.g.
FINANCE 001
FINANCE 002
MARKETING 001
MARKETING 002
how would i get this imported into my current table structure?

Hi
I'm fairly new to Access and databases in general but I have built a great database which I am really pleased with, but I want to be able to have a pop-up reminder which is activated when a date in one of the form fields is reached.
First of all is this technically possible?
If it is could somebody give me an indication of how to go about doing it because I have no idea!
If it is not possible, is there any other way around it?
Thanks in advance for your assistance and the simpler you can keep any advice the better!!
Many thanks
Steve
This is going to be a dumb question for all you Access experts, but how do I insert a field that will automatically display the date that the record was created (not updated, but created)?
Thanks!
