Tables :: Manipulate Table With LINK To Data From SQL
Feb 25, 2015
I've nearly cracked where I want to be. I have essentially had to do the core of the back-end in SQL in order to organize the data in a way that actually makes sense to ACCESS.
Following this I now have a table with the following fields
Stock No
SK Code
Free Stock Qty
Stk Qty Pd
Actual Min
Actual Max
Forecast EoM
Forecast +1Month
Forecast +2Month
Essentially this is a stock forecast sheet. It takes into consideration incoming stock and estimated usage to provide an output as a "Forecast" stock level at the end of the forthcoming months.
The next phase of developing this is to allow users to manually change the front end by Group and Part Number with Quantity entry so that it auto updates the Estimated EoM, +1Month or +2Month figures depending on which month figure they are looking at. In addition, this information would need to be retained and ideally stored as individual tables or other .
I was wondering if it was possible to have a master table where say 10 of my regulatory tables and their data once inputted from the forms will appear there? Is this possible? Because right now, each of my regulatory tables has a form where the data is inputted and appears within said table.
All these tables are separate, obviously. I want to consolidate all the information into one spot, is this a possibility within access?
I want on my form some field to connect to field in other table. I would like, when I open form and insert txtName, verify if in field on other table precede that value, and if exist. If exist then find that recordset and open. But if that field don’t exist, open other form and fill that value. Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset With rst .ActiveConnection = CurrentProject.Connection .CursorType = adOpenKeyset .LockType = adLockOptimistic .Open "Select * from vFizickoLice" .AddNew ' !DeteJMBG = Me.cmbDeteJMBG !DetePrezime = Me.txtDetePrezime !DeteIme = Me.txtDeteIme .Update Me.cmbDeteJMBG = !DeteJMBG End With
I have some tables need to be imported to Access, which is not well structured. For example:
report 4/05/2014 from SQL server Name ID Add..... aaa 111 bbb 222
To be more specific,I have 4 csv files, that need to be imported into Access.
1. I'm building 4 linked tables so users can update the table as needed. Then run queries based on these tables to produce report. But maybe there's a better way? the file name and location might be dymatic, so anything like 'getopenfile' would be easier instead of linked tables?
2. These data need to be clean up first to become a 'database table'. (Delete first 2 rows, delete some columns, remove duplicates etc.) I know how to do them in VBA Excel, but never used Macro in Access before.
The key field is the specimen number and specimen type. Currently for every antibiotic there is a row with its result. My output is 3 complete worksheets so a lot of data. I need to create a database with one row per specimen number/type to include whether it is S/R/or I for each type of antibiotic. The example probably makes more sense. but I'm assuming that 65000 rows * 3 sheet can then be reduced to around 18,000 rows.
manipulate the data by changing one of the columns (Customer 1) to a Look Up Field. This has created two challenges for myself:
1) The data is gone ... oops. I can solve this one.
2) More serious, that column (Customer 1) will only display primary key numbers of the data. Before the corruption, I had a combo box on a form. This combo box took its values from a Table called CustomerTable, the value in this combo box was stored in the QuoteListTable. Before it showed names, now only primary key.
I have attempted to: -change the look-up back to a regular field (got rid of the look-up) -exported the table to a query, turned it back into a table, no change.
While much of the discussions here are out of my league, this may just be the place to finally get some help.
I have a hobby weather station and I am also into gardening. Over the years I have accumulated a fair amount of data/ observations which are currently in assorted Excel spreadsheets & are becoming more an more difficult to maintain.
So, I decided to move the various Excel tables into MS Access. While I was able to draft a entity-relationship diagram for my horticultural data, I am at a total loss when it comes to weather/ climate data which are primarily time-dependent. With other words, I cannot find any references that explain how to design pairs of foreign and primary key for linking datasheets that contain time varying data such as various weather and climate data.
I have ordered dozens of books through the local library. Every book presents exactly the same example: customers and orders/sales. This example is fine when you have a myriad of interdependencies in your data (and proved useful for my horticultural data). But, my weather data are more or less independent of one another; the only thing they have in common is the time/date when I make the observations.
Do I have to create dozens of surrogate keys and add a ton of redundant data ?? I hope not !
I want to be able to connect dynamic web data such as live gold price, exchange rates from the relevant web pages to a table in Access 2010. I have searched the forum without finding any related answers.
I understood that this can be done in Excel by using "Get External Data from Web" where the connected cells will be updated along with live data changes in the linked web page. I could set up a link table from Excel in Access but this would be tedious since the Excel file has to be opened to get the data refreshed everytime I open the Access file.
How to load dynamic data directly from web site to an Access table?
What I need is a table that will hold a primary key field and 16 text fields at 255 characters per field. (NO memo fields) This will total about 4,080 characters but Access 2000 limits the record size to 2,000 characters.
I have two tables with 9 fields in each table in a one to one relationship as follows:
Table1: Primary Key = MyKey = autonumber field. Table1: 8 fields = text at 255 characters each field. (i.e. Data1, Data2, Data3, Data4, Data5, Data6, Data7, Data8)
Table2: Primary Key = MyKey = number field. Table2: 8 fields = text at 255 characters each field (i.e. Data9, Data10, Data11, Data12, Data13, Data14, Data15, Data16)
The problem is I want all the fields to act as though they are from a single table and to be on a single form. I don’t know how to go about the LinkChildFields and LinkMasterFields without using a SubForm. A SubForm don’t work because it expects the second table to have many records.
I have a table "Product" and in this table I have two fields "StoragePlaceID1" and "StoragePlaceID2". Both these fields link to the look-up table "StoragePlace"
*Attached Image "Product_StoragePlace" from the Access Relationship Window"*
When I want to add a new Product from my inter face i get the error you can see in the Attached Image "Save_Error".I think the problem is that the Relationship is defined as One-to-Many,there a way to define the relationship as Zero-to-Many.
I'm not very familiar with linking data from Access to Excel but I think it's what I'm going to want to do for my operation. I have a huge spreadsheet that my boss handed me and he wanted to see if it were possible to only present a part of it in access. I already have a form to a table that I created however, it came to my attention that creating a link also creates a new table so I guess my question is: Is there an easy way to have the form always correspond to the linked table? Or another question: is this the right way of thinking about linking the data?
I have just updated a big mdb database to accdb. But we have two associated databases that cannot be updated - they are for UPS and Fedex data, which presently does not support accdb. Can I link to mdb tables in another database from my main accdb database?
We have an MS Access 2010 Database that uses Local Tables, External MS Access Tables, and ODBC Linked Oracle Tables (Accessed for Read Only). The unsual issue occurs with the ODBC Linked Oracle Tables.
One of the more important aspects of the project is to modify the ODBC Links to point to upgraded Oracle Database Tables. Up until today, all of the Links had been able to be remediated with a simple refresh and test.
This morning, however, it was determined that one of the Database Tables did not exist in the Schema. Instead, it was an Oracle Synonym for a Table that existed in a different Schema. We believe that we have the proper authorization for access to all of the Schemas involved, and despite this fact, MS Access was unable to link to the Table properly.
I have a risk table containing risks and risk owners (many owners for one risk), meaning that I have two risk owners columns. What I would like to do is to connect both risk owner columns (containing the name IDs) to the Names table. But Access does not allow to connect more than 1 column to another.
I am new to using Microsoft Access, and have started a job which it predominantly using access.
I am in-charge of the database, the table contains many fields for instance project code, organization name, project,total budget fee etc.
Project code are unique and represents income stream and work of a consultant.
However i have been ask to link project codes, for when consultants are working on a project together, so when a monthly report is run the work will appear on both consultants reports and not just the ones.
I am a newbie when it comes to Access and ASP but I am trying. I am in the need for some help. I have a large table in Access 2003 and need to break it into smaller tables (not using a query) where the fields are the same except each of the smaller, new tables will hold info for a specific person. These smaller tables would need tro be linked to the larger. Is there an easy way to do this? I need to keep it in tables due to the ASP software I use to generate the asp pages. Is this possible? My goal is for each user to be able to only view/edit their data and for the large table to reflect any changes made to the smaller table. Thanks, Dan
I have been asked to maintain a directory for our local Scout district. It's currently in a spreadsheet, but is crying out to be a database.I have created a "group" table, this lists all the groups in the district.I have a 2nd table called "people" this holds details of all the people in the district.As some people can have a role in multiple groups, I have created a 3rd table called "link", this is to link the people to groups.
Having read various different posts on sub forms, I am still at a loss on how to create a form / subform to populate the link table.My initial thoughts were to have a combo box on the main form, listing the people and then have a list of groups on the sub form (the are only 24). I would have a check box next to each group and if checked, it mean that the person selected in the combo is associated with that group.However my issue is that the tick box would be a "yes/no" field and the entry in the link table needs to be a number.
I simply want to link a table from one database to another but am getting an Error -1002 with the error description: "'|' is not a valid name. Make sure that it does not include invalid characters or punctuation and that it is not too long."
I have tried just creating a basic table with one field and linking it to another database and still getting the error. It happens when I compact and repair on close.
I have a link table that has a field that represents dates - but they are actually just text. It's a long story but the source is not going to change - so I have to try and deal with it. I need it to behave as a date - and am hoping to do this in a query. The data looks like this:
7/24/12 10/08/13
I have tried various things but it does not seem to totally do the trick - if I sort on it it still does not sort as one would expect from an actual date field. How do I do this?
I am splitting a database and have created the Back end already. When I create the front end and link to the tables on the back end... The front end does not link to all the tables in the back end. The list that comes up when creating the linkings does not show all the tables in the back end. What would cause this?
I am trying to build a DB to fix movie folders and file names and I am struggling to properly find the file names.
Currently I am using "DirectoryName = Dir(folder, vbDirectory)" to find the files and loop through them correcting the names as I go.
Works perfect.
The issue I am having is how to properly then look up the file within the folder since Dir is already in use for the loop.
The straightforward question is how does one look-up a child file when the parent is known without using Dir().
Below is what is works to rename parent folders. I am sure it is hack to the trained eye but it gets the job done.
folder = "E:Videos" DirectoryName = Dir(folder, vbDirectory) Do Until DirectoryName = "" If DirectoryName <> "." And DirectoryName <> ".." Then If (GetAttr(folder & DirectoryName) And vbDirectory) = vbDirectory Then
Would anyone know if there is a way to manipulate the current user value through code. I have a database and have all users signing on via the Admin user (basically not activating the password on the Admin user). I have a form that does request a password and username, which I use to allow access to various forms, etc. I know I could have done this through access security, but I needed to add some specific rules on the sign in that cannot be done through the standard access security sign-in. I am then able to store the username given at sign in and use this to allow or disallow access to various forms. I can also track when people sign in and sign out using this method.
Anyway, what I would like to do know is be able to set the system currrent user cuser variable to the user name they signed in with , and my reason for this has more to do with possible record locking conflicts if everyone effectively signs in as admin.
Is there a way to change the cuser variable through code ??
