I am using different values of a record (selected from a combobox) in my form/table which a user can edit and afterwards use for calculations and reports. the problem I encounter is that the fields are bound so if changed there is no undo if not mistaken.Is there a way to have for instance load a record in a temporary place (without making a large amount of temporary variables) and only update if the "save" button is pressed?

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn our forms, we have managed to export a backup of our application (to accdb file) in a specific folder.
We now are trying to make a backup restore function that restores the backup (the accdb file).

I am trying to use VBA to backup the BACK-END of a split database (so I can automatically archive selected data). If I use FileCopy I get a message that the BACK-END database has not been found.Obviously I could 'unlink' the BACK-END, copy it and 're-link' it..Is it possible to copy the BACK-END tables(not just the links) into the FRONT-END and get at them that way?

I have a database that is updated every weekday, every hour. I make a copy of it end of the day so i do not lose that data so far. I wish there was was a way to make a backup copy, say end (once sometime) of the day, automatically.
I am using Access 2007 database in work environment. When one of my colleagues tried to update some records in a table, it created a backup of the database.
The issue is that the size of the actual database is much smaller than the size of the backup. However all the data are present and I don't think any data has been deleted.
But I don't know why there is a difference in size?
Some of the tables in the database are linked from MS SQL Server.
I want to open the 'Save Backup As' Dialogue Box from the file menu, using a Command Button on a Form in Access 2003.I know you can do this manually but I would love to do it programically.
View 4 Replies View RelatedJust wanted to confirm which is the best way to create an automatic back up of a access DB. (Split DB, backing up the BE - Access2010)
Firstly I was thinking of just creating a batch file to copy the file to a new source directly with a task scheduler set up.
Ideally I'd like it to run daily and have the date of the back up added to the end of the filepath.
Can somebody point me in the direction of a good website to find out about how temporary tables are used?
We have one that picks up all fields in table except one and I have no idea how the information is gathered or where it comes from.
Thanks.
Hi There,
Is it poss to create a temp variable in a query. I want its value to be some text then a field:
"some text " + [name]
How do I create this in the query?
Thanks,
I would like to create a "global" temp table that can be viewed by all users. The syntax is:
Create [TEMPORARY] TABLE tablename (field type)
QUESTION1:
When I put the optional [TEMPORARY] in, I get a syntax error...
Create [TEMPORARY] TABLE t (ID int)
I've tried...
Create TABLE [t] (ID int)
Is that the same as doing this???
Create TABLE t (ID int)
Can someone clear up my syntax?
QUESTION2:
If i can create a temp table when does the table go away? When I close access? Do I have to delete it?
Can someone clear this up? Thanks.

Hi there
I'm new to this so please be patient!
I have developed an Access database which produces financial reports based on a date range which the user specifys, taking the data from a SQL server. He chooses his dates and then runs a macro which creates the new tables, overwriting previous tables. Numerous financial reports run on these tables so I need to keep the table names the same.
The problem is that only one user can access the DB at anytime because the new user can't delete the other users table becuase it may be based on a different date range.
I'm open to suggestions but maybe what I need to so is create tables which are based on the user id when he logs in to the Access database so that he doesn't delete someone elses table. How can I do this please!!!???
Thanks in advance

For my inventory DB, when creating a purchase order, I need to store all transaction in a temporary folder and give a temporary number to PO and after finalisation only all data should be appended to main po table with new po number that will be last+1. And all data from temporary tables should be deleted. Like an air ticket is generated, first checks all details, give seat location also and if "Committed" gives the final ticket with no
Any idea about structural configuration and type of queries to be used
Hey again.
Asked a question last time that might've been a little too complicated but I've made a lot of progress since then. :)
I've a form which I enter weekly data into which I have transferring into a temporary table. At the bottom of this form I've got a button which runs an update query which takes the entries from the temporary table and adds them to the main table.
(I'm doing a fantasy football league. An example is that if I enter that a player has recieved one yellow card in the weekly data, when I update the main table it will add one yellow card onto the total, etc.)
The problem I need help with is that I find that I need to get the temporary table to wipe itself as soon as I press the button to update the main table. Is there a way I can work it into the update query, or will it need to be done seperately?
Thanks.
(I have searched for this kind of thing, and found a topic that was dealing with VBA. From what was posted it didn't seem to relate to my problem, so I decided a new topic would be my best bet to get some help.)
Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
I have a small spare parts db which also has pictures of some of the parts.
manufacturer
partnumber
wholesale
retail
picture
The form carries data on wholesale price which I would need to hide if the customer would like to see a picture of the required spare part.
Is it possible to have a button to temporary make the wholesale field non-visible? Or would it be better to click on a button to open a new page with just the picture of the selected part and the retail price, if so what is the best way to achieve this.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.

I'm thinking about creating temporary (while db open) relationships between tables, since transfering tables is possible only if no linked relationships are present. However it's important to preserve in some cases referential integrity.Looking online, I found this code:
Code:
Public Function CreateRelation(primaryTableName As String, _
primaryFieldName As String, foreignTableName As String, _
foreignFieldName As String) As Boolean
[code]...
Even with the comments I don't really understand what exactly this code does or doesn't do.I tried the code. It seems (?) to create a relationship. Since the relationship doesn't show up in the relationships table, I'm not really sure if it's there.
- why it's not visible among other relashionships (or is it me?? maybe, it wasn't the code that was working but the query...)
- how to implement referential integrity
- what's the behaviour of this supposed relationship. Is it permanent or not? If not when is it deleted?
I'm trying to put values into a temporary table for the user to view the work behind a returned calculated value.
Here is my code:
Code:

Dim rst As Recordset
Dim rstt As Recordset
Dim u As Variant
[code].....
How do I put all values under all 'u' 's into one table?
I want to store a query into a table, which I will delete later on. But somehow it shows me an error: Data type conversion error at the qdf = CreateTableDef assignment line.

Dim qdf As TableDef

I have my Data Types sent to "Date/Time" and a format YYYY/MM/DD.

I'm making a library database program thing... There's an option for the user to view all books on loan.
I have two tables:
Books, which has columns ID*, ISBN, Author, Title, Year, Location
BorrowerStorage, which has columns Book ID, Name, Email Address, Desk Number
Book ID in BorrowerStorage is related to the Books primary key.
Now, for the viewing all books on loan, I want it to produce a read only table which contains all the entries from the BorrowerStorage table and the corresponding Title/Author columns (i.e. the records for which the ID in Books column = BookID in Borrower Storage column)...
