:confused: I am using a Make Table Query to filter a Linked Excel Table. Is there a way to cut/drop the first 8 characters of the text out of one of the fields as it creates the new table?
Field NameExcel DataFinal Data
Model_NameLATITUDE D600D600
Also, the final table has two Relationships with two other tables. When I run the Make Table Query once a week, I have to break the relationship to get it to run. Is there an easier way to dial with this?
Hi,
I am extracting data from linked db2 table using access make table query. First I create a select query and can view the linked db2 data, but when I change to a make table query I get an error message, "invalid argument", when I run the make table query. There is no selection critera specified. Has anyone had this happen? and Do you know a solution?
Thanks for your support

Hi everybody,
Beginner here needs help !
I'm building a make-table query for which if the result is null (no record correspond to the set of criterias), a default message like "there was no activity during the period" would appear in the table (not a message box...I need the message in the output table). The best I could think of is an IIF function but it doesn't seem to work... Is there any way to do this without using VBA?
Thanks in advance !
Dear Access Expert
I wanted to know if it is possible to change the name of the Table which is going to be created using a Make-Table Query via code (VBA).
For example if my Make-Table query currently creates a table with the name "Table1" I want to change it to name "Table2" and then change it Back to "Table1" or "Table3" etc.... depending on the users selection.
How can you determine the name of a table that has/is going to be created by a make-table?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a way in a Make-Table query to tell the table to open when it's created? I would assume there is a function or SQL code that would do this, but I know very little SQL. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a database named NewUpdate.mdb. I have another database named MainDatabase.mdb. Almost all the tables in NewUpdate.mdb are linked tables that are in the MainDatabase.mdb file.
I've written a simple make-table query in NewUpdate.mdb that makes a backup of a table that is located in the MainDatabase.mdb file. (See code below.)
SELECT tblProviderRate.* INTO tblProviderRateSave
FROM tblProviderRate;
The only problem is that this new table is created in the NewUpdate.mdb file. I need the query to be stored in the NewUpdate.mdb file and the "new" table to be created/stored in the MainDatabase.mdb file.
This sound simple enough, but I'm drawing a blank as to what I need to do in order for this to occur. Can someone tell me what I'm leaving out??
Thanks,

How to make-table query to make a certain field a memo field instead of a text field? The reason I cannot use the text field is the limitation is 255 characters while I require 2000 characters?
View 4 Replies View RelatedDear friend
I need your help desperatly. In my db, I am making a "make table query" to match some text.
Help me build this please.
First a form which has text box, where I will put in some words..
Then a make table query, which will have =[form]![name of form]![control name]
A report on same table.
Means when some one puts some words in text field of form, on pressing hit button, a like statement is automatically created in one field of query which matches those words and a table is generated from them. Result is report.
Hope this is clear, could you please help me build this?

I've got a problem with a make-table query that creates a new table which is then populated with new values that relate back to the original table the trouble is the make-table won't run with that relationship in place.
Is there a way to delete the relationship then reinstate it after the query? or any other way round that someone can think of.
Thank You
I have come across a snag in my access project I am currently undertaking and need some advise on what should be done next. . .
In a nutshell, this project's primary purpose is to perform a search on a table of information based on many fields and generate a report based on the records which match the search. I have the search form working (similar to this one here) http://allenbrowne.com/ser-62.html
It displays the results from the table based on the search criteria. The form is great for viewing the results which match search criteria; however, I am having trouble doing anything else with the data (perform operations on the data, send the results to the table, etc. . .). How should I go about moving this data to a table?:confused:
I have used/am using the "INTO tbl_temp_copy" to create a temp table from a query called tbl_temp_comp. Everytime I run my query it deletes and then creates a new table with the same name - and this is what I have been wanting.
However now I would like to create a table with the date in the table name so:- "INTO tbl_temp_copy_Date()" but obviously this does not work and I do not know if it is even possible?
Anyone able to do this or know that it cannot be done?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble with a make-table query. I run a query that populates my website with data daily. I have a bunch of fields in the db that I wanted to be displayed as one field on the website, so in my query I concatenated them. My website is able to distinguish which fields are text and which are memos so I can display multiple lines. Everytime I run the query, it creates the concatenated field as a text field. Is there a way I can default this to a memo type?
Thanks.

Hi,
Anyone has the idea of creating primary key in a table using make table query?
Thanks.:confused:
I am creating a table with a make-table query. The only trouble is that I can't figure out how to designate which field will be the primary key. Is there a way to do this...... other than creating the table, then manually going into desing mode and specifying the primary key there? I want this to be automated.
Thanks,
David
Hi,
Quick question: I am running a union query via a recordset.
How can I store the results in a new not yet defined table?

having used a query to generate data from a set of records where i can select the criteria (they are two letter abrv and are in a single field in the table but there may be multiple criteria). As I would like others to do it without using the query my first thought was a form with a series of check boxes tick for inclusion in the query or not. As i have built the query am I looking at changing that or taking it all into VB and using some code to pull the relavant 'ticks' across............ and how the hell would i do that......
many thanks in anticipation......

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I am trying to update a table in a database (Lets call that DbNew). I want that when DbNew form is loaded it automatically updates its underlying table (lets call it TblNew) by running a make table query (called "coversheet") that is located in another database (call that DbOld). DbNew and dbOld are all on a network and I dont have total access on DbOld (but I have created the make table query "coversheet in DbOld).
I should also state that DbNew is bound to TblNew and I am not interested in keeping the old table in DbNew. Information is frequently updated in DbOld and all I am interested in is loading the most current info in DbNew so the current table can be deleted upon loading DbNew and a new one created. Here is what I tried doing and I have it in the form load event of DbNew. This however returns an error (Runtime Error 3010. That TblNew already exists)
Dim db As Database
Set db = OpenDatabase("\networkdbOld.mdb")
db.Execute ("Coversheet")
DoEvents
Set db = Nothing
End Sub
P/S: I am not good at access in anyway I should state.
Thank you for taking the time to read.
Hello,
I have a query that prompts the user for input to generate a report.
I would like to in essence copy that same record set and append it to a different table (archive table).
Not quite sure how to go about it.
Thank you
Anyone...
Please can you tell me how I run a make table query that makes one of the fields a primary key. Can it be done in the query or do I have to set it as part of a macro that runs the query. If so How do I achieve this.
I am running a make table query from a link table so i can use it with infopath. I run the make table query every time I update the spreadsheet that the link table runs off and it makes a proper table with it for infopath to run off (because I can't get infopath to run off a link table, No primary key means it won't submit.) When I run the macro that runs the query and creates the table, I need it to make oone of the fields a primary key.
Any suggestions
