Tables :: Appending Data To A Linked Table?
Feb 6, 2014I have a table in MS Access 2010 that is a link to an external data file in .csv format. I assumed that it was not possible to append data to a linked table until recently. I appended 3 records to the linked table and discovered that the 3 records were appended to the table and the external data file it was linked to.
What am I missing ?

Tables :: Multiple Parents Table Linked To Child Table - Primary Keys
May 28, 2015I have a table for a multiple parents linked to a child table. I need to figure out a way to only allow 1 parent to be coded as primary, 1 as secondary, and then the rest as other... I thought about making Primary/Secondary/Other a primary key. But then I can only have 1 other. I would have to make a finite number of parents that could be entered and I want an infinite number.... My end goal is to have a report that only has a primary and second parent on it, but the rest of the parents still exist in the table...
*Child_ID
Parent_First_Name
*Primary/Secondary/Other
Tables :: Make Calculated Field In One Table That Calculates Values From Another Table Linked By Order ID
May 13, 2015I have what is probably a stupid question but I've been struggling with this one for a while. I have an ordering database which has an Orders table (containing Order ID, Date, Supplier etc) and an Order Line table within which I have a combo box for Product name, supplier, price, VAT rate, Line price etc. At the moment, I have the order line table as a subform within the Order form (run from the Orders table). The problem I'm having is the subtotal and total fields. At the moment these are in the Order Line table as I cannot figure out how to get these in the Orders table. In summary, can I make a calculated field in one table that calculates values from another table (linked by Order ID)?

Jan 13, 2014I have an MS Access accdb with linked SQL Server 2012 ODBC tables. I am working on a procedure to copy data from local tables to these linked tables (identical schema). I did a simple
Code:
DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO linkedTable SELECT * FROM localTable"

I would like to copy the data in a bulk operation, or operations that I can execute programmatically.

General :: Possible To Have Data From Linked Table Automatically Update Into Existing Table?
Aug 17, 2012I have one DB that is used for creating/storing customer ID's, and another DB that is used for creating/storing job information for customers.I have linked the table from the customer DB to the job DB.
There is a table in the job database that holds customer name and ID, and some VBA that generates unique job codes.
Is it possible to have the data from the linked table automatically update into the existing table?
Forms :: Showing Data From Linked Table And Local Table
Nov 21, 2013I'm having trouble with a new project I'm working on. The application is mainly going to be used to display data, which comes from a linked table. It has to be a linked table (in my opinion) because it's replaced once per week from a fresh data dump. For each of those records, though, there will be notes made in a local table named "Custom-Data". My trouble is displaying a mix of information from the linked table, "Roster", and "Custom-Data" because linked tables can't be assigned a primary key.
Essentially, when a record is pulled up, a bunch of data from "Roster" will be shown in addition to the comments from "Custom-Data".

View 10 Replies View RelatedForms :: Append Data To A Table Entered By User
May 20, 2013How I would go about appending data to a table that has been entered by a user on a form.
My initial idea to tackle this was to create a number of text boxes as a method of user input which would all then transfer to a table but this doesn't have much longevity to it(if the database requires additional columns to be added, etc.)
The setup at the moment is two tables, a main table, and a temporary table(which is where I intend to first store the user input, this is so that the user can view what they have entered and make any necessary changes(undo))
I'm wondering if there are any easier ways to go about this such as, a msgbox appears and asks the user to enter each individual column data for a row. This doesn't sound like the most efficient way but efficiency isn't a priority right now and is something I'll look at later.
I'd like it so that a user can input data into a number of text boxes, a button has an onclick event that will append all entered values to the temporary table, this is then relayed(I'm assuming through requery?) back to the user as a way of checking before really adding it to the main database, and then if they're happy there is another button which is then enabled so they can add it to the main database.
Repeat Last Entered Value In Data Table In Access 2002
Apr 11, 2012In my office we have used Access 2002 for many years. We enter data directly into a table. Many values are repeated row after row, with only slight changes in a few fields. I am looking for a way to automatically have the previous value in a field entered into the current row, and allow this value to be modified if it has changed, but then become the new "default" value for following rows. I have searched the web and found solutions when using forms, but nothing for entering data directly into a table. I have also seen the suggestion for Ctrl + ', this works but I would rather it be done automatically.

Aug 31, 2007I am trying to build a Form that will show an estimate (then eventually will be moved to a project if customer and employee aggree to price and project) in a Form F_Estimates is a M_Customers(Customer_ID) (Based on a Table) and thier info in a Subform. Also is the "projected costs" from parts out of the Parts(Part_ID) (Based on another Table) in a second Subform as a list that I need to calculate $$$ in
(Dang that still sounds evil and definately NOT understandable even after edit... so)
Here's some basic info
Tables
EstimatesandParts - Table
EstimatesandParts_ID : Autonumber
Estimate_ID : Number
Part_ID : Number
Parts - Table
Part_ID : Autonumber
PartNumber : Text (not a number due to some part#s have letters in them)
PartName : Text
Unit Price : Currency
Description : Text
Estimates - Table
Estimate_ID : Autonumber
InvoiceNumber : Text (again can have letters in it)
EstimateDate : Date/Time
EstimateTime : Date/Time
Employee_ID : Number
Customer_ID : Number
ProblemDescription : Memo
Customers - Table
Customer_ID : Autonumber
FirstName : Text
LastName : Text
CompanyName : Text
Address : Text
City : Text
Province_State : Text
Postal_ZIPCode : Text (CDN Postal codes are letter num letter...)
you can see the link table in the EstimatesandParts Table
Now I want to use that link to populate a subform in the F_Estimates form
Forms
SF_Customers - SubForm
(all boxes atm are text boxes on this form till I figure out the Parts section then will use same base for this so I can pick any customer in the database to be the customer for this estimate. Also will have ctrl button for making new customer with customer form and a refresh on Focus Gain bit of code)
FirstName
LastName
CompanyName
Address
City
Province_State
Postal_ZIPCode
SF_Parts - SubForm
Default View -Continuous Forms
(want it to be a list of parts that I can grab prices and descriptions from then in a bit of code to calculate a cost of parts)
Part_ID : Combo Box
Control Source - Part_ID
Row Source Type - Table/Query
Row Source - SELECT Parts.Part_ID, Parts.PartNumber, Parts.PartName, Parts.UnitPrice, Parts.Description FROM Parts ORDER BY Parts.Description;
(Pulls info from the table Parts for input into a list of parts to be used on that project)
PartName : Text Box
UnitPrice : Text Box
(here's where I run into problems due to the fact that the form is not based on the parts table but rather the link table EstimatesandParts so I can't propogate the info to the 2 other text boxes, ps I dont care if they cant be text boxes and have to be linked or some other type I'm not "set" just need to find out how to make it work )
(have tried a couple things to complete this task)
Me.txtPartName = Me.Part_ID.Column(2)
Me.txtUnitPrice = Me.Part_ID.Column(3)
(works AWSOME ... for ONE ROW then propogates the second selection to the first and second and third selection to first second and third and so on ...)
(tried to make control source for the txtPartName to)
=Forms!Parts!Partname
(Doesnt exist .. akkk, cant use ActiveForm either as it doesn't focus on the SubForm but the MainForm ... cry)
F_Estimates - Form
Estimate_ID
InvioceNumber
EstimateDate
EstimateTime
ProblemDescription
(all basic Text Boxes)
Employee_ID
Customer_ID
(Combo Boxes Select Customer and Employee from list of present ones of each)
SF_Customers
SF_Parts
(Both SubForms on the main form)
Now this is an Exerp from my entire Database I like to work on one small problem at a time and I have made this its own little database till I figure out the problem then I will bring the info I learn back into the rest of the database and go from there ...
Hope you can help I have a feeling I will need to make a recordset and go from there but I'm just not able to wrap my head around that for some reason
Thanks in advance for ANY and ALL help that I get from here
Stop Access From Changing Format / Value Of Data Entered From A Form Into A Table
Oct 7, 2012I have a database (split into front and backend). Users populate the table using a form on the front end. Recently, it has been pointed out that some of the data entered into one specific textbox is being changed on the table. The data entered is always has a minimum of a letter and number value i.e. "A1", "A2" etc. Upon examining the table, this has changed into numeric values i.e. "1291", "1061", "852"... etc. Looks like it is translating them into both 3 and 4 digit numerical values by the looks of things. Where more complex data is entered such as "2(A1, A2)" these seem unaffected.
The field is set to text, I have set no validation rule, format or input mask. Just can't see why access is changing these values. It seems to be translating them, but I can't see a pattern.
How To Partition A Table Into Two Linked Tables
Mar 17, 2006Hi, All,
I have so far only worked with single tables and queries but not with linked tables. Now the following problem has arisen.
We have a database all of whose fields except two are of type = Text. Two fields are type = Memo.
We have to submit this database, i.e. its main table, to an external company for automatic 'cleansing' (UK: Telephone preference service). The cleansing program converts the cleansed database into a comma-delimited text file and returns it to us as such, and we then have to convert it back into an Access table.
(That's the way our supplier works, it is not under our control, and we have to learn to cope with it.)
Now the cleansing program is being screwed up by our Memo fields, because they contain commas. So when the cleansing program sees a comma, it interprets this as the start of a new field, and the same happens when we convert the text file back into a table.
Two solutions were suggested by the cleansing company, but only the following seems suffiently automatic and therefore acceptable to us.
I NEED HELP IN IMPLEMENTING THAT SOLUTION.
-----------------------------
I want to move the two memo columns into a separate table (memo table), linked to the original table (main table). Have the ID column (unique identifier) in both tables to keep the records together. Then I send only the main table for cleansing and the commas in the memo can no longer work havoc.
I have an idea of how to create the memo table: make a copy of the main table and then delete all columns except ID and the two memo columns.
But then I have to link the two tables (I do not know how to do that); where do I start.
I must also ensure that when new records are created (now usually through a form), both tables are expanded. And I must get information from both tables into one form.
At present I do not even know where to start, except for creating the Memo table by copying it and deleting certain columns.
I have a good book (John Viescas: Running MS Access 2000), but it is huge, and the problem is urgent (it stops our tiny company from marketing). I have no time to study the whole book to find what I need in this case. A chapter or page reference would be very useful.
Or some Tutorial on the web that deals with my particular task.
Thanks for your help.

Main Table Linked To Several Sub-tables - Help!
Sep 2, 2007Dear All
Since last week I am working on a Database which I will use for my company. To make a long story short, I didn't find any appropiate softwares nor examples on the internet, hence, with my some knowledge in Access, I am trying to make this "to be" useful tool for my self.
Short brief on the project:
This is going to be used for a trading company to register:
- Suppliers
-- Products
- Customers
-- Inquiries
-- Orders
-- Offers
*Relations:
- Suppliers can have one or many products
- Customers can have one or many Orders / Inquiries / Offers
Problems:
(I have tried many different ways, but going nowhere)
1) The "Customers" table have 3 tables (Orders/Inquiries/Offers) linked to it - and all are based on the primary key "CustomerId". --> How can I make a form to enter these data linked?
2) Under "Orders" I want to select supplier from the Supplier table and Product from the Product table -- How?
I know this is a lot of info and probably too vague, but if someone could assist me with a few problems - then I would really really appreciate it and compensate somehow.
Looking forward for your help.
Best regards
Tables :: Copying A Table From One Linked DB To Another
Dec 3, 2013I am looking to copy one exceptionally large table to another. I can use VBA to copy the entire Report2013.accdb to Report.accdb while compacting at the same time. This is very fast and works well. However once it's copied I need to rename the table tblReport2013 to tblReport. None of these table are in the accdb that I am running the scripts from FrontEnd.accdb. I am working very hard to keep the data tables under the 2 GB limit, which is why linking and keeping the data separate is necessary. There is the chance that Report2013 will be on the network while tblReport will be local to the user, and may or may not be a subset of the Report2013.
I have considered a number of options:
DoCmd.Rename - I can't seem to tell it a database location
I could try
docmd.copyobject - and see if it keeps the file size the same or smaller then the original.
I could just write the sql statement and copy the data that way, and compact the table afterwards. The trouble with doing the transfer that way is hitting the 2GB limit, before I can compact/compress the newly imported data.It just seems odd to have to find another solution when all I really want to to rename a table and ensure the new new is still linked as a separate table.
Putting Linked Tables Into One Table?
Sep 17, 2013I have multiple tables that are linked to excel. I am creating a product selection tool to make it easy to find the products contained all these linked tables. They are necessary as they contain pricing data and information necessary to be kept in excel which is regularly updated.
Is there a way to create one table containing data from all these linked tables? I tried using an append query but realise that when the linked tables are updated the table containing all the data wont be?
Linked Tables Not Updating In Junction Table
Nov 20, 2004Hi, I have the following structure:
Products 1-M ORDER DETAILS M-1 ORDERS M-1 CUSTOMERS
I have ORDER DETAILS set as a junction table so that many products can be recorded within one order. All is good apart from when i go into ORDERS and create a new order. I click the subform which links to the ORDERDETAILS. I then pick a product number(look up from products table). The problem is this: In the ORDER DETAILS I want to display the unit price of this product simply by picking the product id.
Eventually this would form the basis of an order form where I can pick Product Id and have it display unit price.
Any ideas on this one, I'm sure its quite simple!!
Thanks in advance

The new SQL views that I need to link to are identical in structure and content and on the same SQL server but different database - forkdw and are called e.g vw_R_Damages
Is there a straightforward process to do this without affecting the queries and reports in my Access db?
