Open External Database?
Oct 3, 2006I was wondering is there a way to open up another database from within a database? Not to combine but just to open another one up instead of looking for it on a drive....

Forms :: Cannot Open External App Using Shell In Access 2013
Aug 19, 2014In previous versions of Access (i.e 2003 and prior) I could use the following code in the On Click event of a form's command button to open an external file:
Dim stAppName As String
stAppName = "C:Program FilesCadroTransPost PlusTransPostPlus.exe"
Call Shell(stAppName, 1)
However, I'm now using Access 2013 and it wont allow me to use this anymore, it gives me the following error:
Runtime Error '5"'
Invalid procedure call or argument
Why this doesn't work in Access 2013?

Insert Into External Database
Feb 19, 2006I am trying to move data in one table to a table in an external database and Access isn't playing ball. Supposedly you can use the 'IN' clause to link to an external database but if I put it in then I get 'Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement' and if I take it out it works fine not that, that is what I want. It's syntax seems to be defined like below at the MS website - jet reference???
I've also got a parameter that I'm trying to feed it, that is the path to the database, which is correct! c:helpcontent.mdb
Here's the query
INSERT INTO CONTENT_CLASSES IN '"+ @DBDir +"' ( PARENT_ID, CLASS_NAME, STATUS_ID, KEYWORDS, PRIORITY, LAST_CHANGED_BY, LAST_CHANGED_DATE, MULTIPLE_CONTENT )
SELECT A.PARENT_ID, A.CLASS_NAME, A.STATUS_ID, A.KEYWORDS, A.PRIORITY, A.LAST_CHANGED_BY, A.LAST_CHANGED_DATE, A.MULTIPLE_CONTENT
FROM CONTENT_CLASSES AS A;
Append New From External Database
Apr 3, 2006Hi there I'm attempting to import records from an external database without losing the records that I currently have.
Eg if I have 3 records in my main database and 5 in the external one, I only want to append the 2 missing records and leave the other 3 alone.
Ideally what I want to do is the below
SELECT * INTO table
FROM [MS Acess;DATABASE=\pathexternal_data.mdb].[table]
WHERE id NOT IN (SELECT id FROM table)
Any ideas where I'm going wrong with the above?
Thanks for your help!!!

Import Table From External Database?
Apr 23, 2013Using access 2010. Trying to set up an import table from an external database.
Code:

Keep Database Secure By Disallowing External Import
Nov 1, 2005I've made an access project (ade) and stored the admin with password in the ade file.
When I open a new database I can use the import feature to import all tables with definitions and data from the ade file. All other objects are being locked.
How can i disallow tables from my mde to be imported into another access application?
Unexpected Error From External Database Driver
Jun 14, 2006I am getting this error message:
"Unexpected Error from External Database Driver" when I try to import some .dbf files into Access. I just did some quick research, and it was suggested that I remove or rename the borland driver. Not sure how I feel about attempting that, plus, where do I get a new borland driver once the old is removed/renamed.
Changing Database Names In External Queries

Now that the database has been moved from one place on the network to another, I need to update the information in my spreadsheet to reflect the database's new name and location. Is there any way of doing this short of deleting and recreating the queries in Excel?
View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Change Link From One External Database To Another?
Feb 26, 2013I've got an Access 2010 application that currently links to a SQL Server 2000 database. I need to change the link to a SQL Server 2008 database on a different server. Where do I go to change the link? When I click on External Data, ODBC Database, I only get an option to import source data. I don't want to import any data. I just want the application to link to a different external database. If I go ahead and click OK, I choose my ODBC connection and log in to the 2008 database. Now I've got a list of "import objects" to choose from. I choose one table (just for testing; I actually want to link with all tables), it says it imported successfully, but when I view the data in that table from Access, it's the same old 2000 database data.

How To Build Access Database From External Report
Oct 3, 2012We have an older system that generates txt reports. I take these txt reports, then using Excel, I append the report headers to each record... creating a datatable. I then import this table to Access. I have not been able to figure out how to have Access perform this. In Excel, I use an "if" statement.
View 9 Replies View RelatedModules & VBA :: Linking External Tables To Current Database?
Mar 16, 2015I was wondering if it was possible to link random external tables to the Active Database through VBA. I would like to run the code that would open up a dialog box that would let the user select the database as well as the tables within that database that the user can select to link to. I am able to select the database and but not able to select the actual tables. The tables will be random so I can't make a constant statement for a specific database.
View 1 Replies View RelatedQueries :: Link External File To Existing Database?
Apr 30, 2013Basically it's trying to take all the files in a given directory and add them into a existing database.
I have a database called Permit. the database has a field called "SEAL" and they will be creating an additional field "SCART" to hold the contents of the file that exist in the directory. Each image file, in directory, is named the same as a unique record in Permit.
example:
Permit-SC might have unique record 532442
An image file would be name 532442.
If the image file matches a record in Permit the image should be added to permit in a field called "SCART". At this point I'm not certain if I want a link or the actual image included in the record. since there's a possibility of including the permit file on the website it might be cleaner to have it included.

Database Will Not Open
Feb 21, 2006Hi,
I've run across a couple issues with our database. The most immediate issue is that I have been unable to open the database on any networked (or non-networked) computer. Me and a assistant typically enter data into this database from two seperate computers. She works on a wireless networked computer with the file on my computers hard drive. I work directly with the file. My computer is wired to the router. (in case that information helps)
We keep getting errors about "cannot access remote computer" and such, they seem to occur when she's entering data and I have the database open, then close Access. It will often give her the error and not allow her to save the record.
But just today she entered something, I closed my database window, then reopened it and I could not get in. All network computers rebooted, and still cannot get into the file. I can enter the password and then it goes to just a blank area (like when your first open access with no database). Older backup versions of the database still work, so it doesn't seem like an Access error. I also noticed that the little "LockFile"s are not being created (I ever faked one just to try it out and it deleted it after i entered the database password)
I can't repair, or convert or anything, it just asks for the password, I give it...and then nothing.
I'm very lost. Thanks for any help.
