Is there a simple way of copying the same data down a column in Access similar to Excel with its Fill Down Column. I have tryed copying down a column and it only goes one cell at a time or if I copy 5 cells with the same data, I can copy it to 5 empty cells.
View RepliesI have a daily report that shows data from previous day for production. When we have new products produced, I would like a field to be highlighted if it is the first time it has come up. I do not want it a unique field just from yesterday, but to analyze the table of all of the production days and highlight if a particular field from a column is unique. Can this be done?

I have two tables : Table1,Table2.
Table1 has columns : A,B
Table2 has columns: A,C
What I want to do is to copy all data of "C" from Table2 to Table1 so that Table1 has columns: A,B,C..(Column "A" is common in both Tables).
If you copy a field from a table or query without highlighting the information. It automatically copy's the column name aswell.
This has proven to be very annoying for some of my co workers. So I was wondering if there is a way for access to stop copying the column name aswell.
So, Is there a way for us to copy field information, just by selecting the field it self. Without copying the column name?
I am using Access 2007 and would like to know how to copy column names from one table to another. I am importing data from excel and the column names come out as 'Field 1', 'Field 2', etc. I went through the trouble of manually renaming the column names of one of the tables (22 columns in all). I will be importing/creating 55 new access tables and don't want to have to manually rename all of these columns. All of the columns in all of the tables will be exactly the same, so I was hoping that after I did this once, I could copy the column names to the other 54 tables.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a table called ComponentIndex with about 3000 entries. Each entry has an ID field and data in a hyperlink field called MSDSlink.
For each entry, I want to copy just the address part of the hyperlink to a new text column, let's call it MSDSAddress. This way, I only have the URL and no displaytext in that new column.
How would I go about doing so?

Hi
Many thanxs for replies, Like the idea of compacting.
We are traveling down the path of setting up a delete query.
This will hopefully delete the records but not the structure.
We are networked and a computer Warp2, writes data at Midnight to the sever, and then we use access on Windows NT to view the data.
We can then compact to maintain the database and not allow it to grow to 1.6 GB again.
Any ideas on the delete query thingy would be greatly appreciated.
:cool:
Many thanks for reading this post from a new starter.
Hi,
I am currently using a large Access 2002 database in order to generate various reports.
My two main tables are despatches and returns from which they hold around 1,200,000 records and 100,000 records respectively.
The problem I have is that the reports use various expressions within various queries to generate a single result (percentages per channel etc.)
This is obviously very time consuming and it may take up to around 10 to 15 minutes to get a result from a chain of around 5 queries.
Can anyone suggest alternative methods to generate similar results in quicker time?
(Please note that the tables can not be downsized and records can not be archived)
Many thanks
:)
Hi All, please forgive me if I am in the wrong forum.
I have a pretty good size (~6400 table and 700 Mb) single user application. It runs on XP home with office 2000.
It is a financial application (stocks and mutual funds). Each symbol has it's own table. The app ran fine when we were monitoring about 1800 symbols. Now that we are up to 3200, I am getting some odd messages from Access. It can't find tables and also says that tables are opened exclusively by other processes.
Although I do not use explicit transactions, it is like I need a "commit" or refresh of the user table catalog.
Each table has 312 rows (52 weeks / year * 6 years of historical data). So, for half the tables (3200) I do 312 Inserts ("Insert into tablename (col1, col2, etc) values (val1, val2, etc)".
Is there a transaction log that needs clearing? Is there a setting in Access that I need to change?
Any thoughts on my situation?
Thanks in advance
Hi
I have a large database with many tables, forms, queries repost etc. These are stored named and displayed alphabetically, is there a way to place them in folders within access so it is easier to organise and locate as i am developing. Or do i just need to rename them all with a section title as the first part of the name?
Thanks
I am trying to change a field lenght of a large database (access 97) It is at 50 right now and want to change it to 25. When I try to change it and save the table I get a error when the bar is about 3/4 the way accross the bottom.
Microsoft can't change the data type - there isn't enough disk space or memory.
then
not enough space on temporary disk
This is error 3183. In the help it says that the TEMP DOS enviroment variable location doesn't have enough space. (summerising). Now I have a 100+gb drive that isn't close to being full. I also changed the MaxLocksPerFile registry dword to 8,000,000 as my table has around over 3 million records. I have tried this on a xp and 2000 machine same results. Next I am going to try it on a 98 machine. I could do it by breaking up the table into 2 differnt ones and do each one individually but there is an autonumber field used as a reference number (I know I know). So that would screw up the numbering scheem (Yes I know there are ways arund that also). this database is about 400MB
Couple of questions
1. Is there a way around this? I have not found a solution on line yet.
2. Will lowering the field length make the database smaller (the data that is in there now is less than 25 charecters and the field is set to 50.) I have gotten mixed info on this. there are a few fields I would like to reduce.
Thanks

Hi there,
I've developed over the past 3-4 years a database holding data relating to workload figures for my place of work. It has grown to a large size (eg. one table holds 1-2 million records). I've been trying to run a particular pivot table based on the sql query below:
SELECT Tests.Test, Year([DAUTH])+(Month([DAUTH])<4) AS FYear
FROM Sets INNER JOIN Tests ON Sets.SET = Tests.[Set Code]
WHERE (((Sets.DAUTH) Between #4/1/2003# And #3/31/2007#));
When I try producing a pivot table using the above query it takes forever - has it running for over 8 hours last night - then access closed down with a runtime error. Does MS access have a problem with large databases? Is there any way I can improve the efficiency / speed of access with a download add-on? Or, will I have to resort to using something like MySQL on a LINUX OS which has fewer demands on system resources when using large databases.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks for reading.
Howdy,
I am trying to clean up one field of a large database. Currently this field has many records that are listed as "XXXX, Inc.". I am trying to find a way to change all of those to "XXXX Inc" in the entire database.
I saw raskews code snippet on changing multiple characters in a string, but I have to admit I have only use VBA in Excel before and having a hard time with the basics.
Does anyone have some code or ideas on how to do this or something similar?
:confused:

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.
Uploaded my current treeview example ....
I'm new at all this so i'm sorry if it's a silly question, but i've split my db into a front and back end on a server but need to copy them and put a copy onto a laptop for my boss to take somewhere. How do i copy them so that they dont look for the other one in the server folder but on the hard drvie.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHello,
Excuse my inexperience, this is not my field. I am a network administrator and have never dealt with this problem before. I have been assigned the task of transferring a database (used by a security company to manage a gated community) to another system. I had to do this because the home owners association is changing security companies and they old security company is taking their computers with them. Now, I copied over all the files i could find and now that I am trying to set it up, I get the infamous error 3033, "you do not have the necessary permissions". I noticed that there is also a secured.mdw file. All i need to know is how to set up this database on a standalone system so that the new security company can access what they need. Thanks in advance for your help

I have experienced a problem copying a database from a CDR to the C Drive of a networked machine at work. What happens is that the Database attributes are changed to "Read Only" after being copied. I can change this easily enough but i dont want other users to have the same hassle.
This problem does not occur when i copy the same CDR to my desktop or laptop at home.
Anyone know why this might be?
Hi,
Does anyone have any ideas on how I might prevent a database from being copied. I have an application that I have set up with a number a tools to prevent exporting to an empty Access container, and from accessing the database design via the ShiftBypass feature, but the database can still be copied in its entirety. In some situations I would like to be able to add a feature to prevent this. Any suggestions?

Hello,
I have a database that the table is located on a sharepoint website. This worked out well in the beginning but now that the database has thousands of records, it has slowed up a bit. What I want to do is at the load of the the database, it will automatically copy Sharepoint table to a local table located on the computer to speed up querys and such.
I was thinking an append query, am I right?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I have a database stored in a folder, and this folder can be accessed through a Network.
Is there a way to protect users from copying this folder to other areas? That is I would like to restrict access from users copying the folder where the database is stored.
Thanks for any suggestions and help.
When attempting to open an Access DB that has been transferred from one network to another (via CD and aeroplane!) we are finding that the copy cannot be edited - the access is effectively read only... I believe this has something to do with Workgroup admin rights but this area is all a bit confusing for me. What do I need to do to open the copy up for editing - allowing the recipients to administrate their copy of the DB?
We're using Access 2002.
I have a MS Access table containing Dependent social security numbers but some of the dependents social security numbers are blank.
I have a MS Sql Database that contains a table with most of the missing MS Access table dependents Social Security numbers.
How can I take the Dependents social security number from MS Sql Database and copy/update the MS Access table.
I tried the sql code below created from MS Access and it matches 453 records out of 460 dependent social security numbers but how do I update qryGHIAccuracyFile_MissingDepSSN.SSN with the social security number from dbo_depfile1.dep_depend_ssn
Code:
SELECT dbo_depfile1.dep_depend_ssn, qryGHIAccuracyFile_MissingDepSSN.SSN
FROM qryGHIAccuracyFile_MissingDepSSN LEFT JOIN dbo_depfile1 ON qryGHIAccuracyFile_MissingDepSSN.MemberSSN = dbo_depfile1.dep_ss_nbr
WHERE (((dbo_depfile1.dep_first)=[FirstName]) AND ((dbo_depfile1.dep_last)=[LastName]));
Updating MS Access table dependent blank SSNs with SSN in MS Sql Database.
