  • Hi all, apologies for my late reply and inappropriate use of grammars, I'll try my best to avoid that in future. I had read all replies back from start, and I apologize for missing out some contents.

    I tried create the linked table manually, it shows an error: "Payment Freq. New" is not a valid name.

    I had discussed the issue with my senior, it is not wise to continue further for solution. Because the table we...

  • Oh I do feel quite warm even the weather is hot down in Australia.

    Yes, because the adp need at least 10 mins to reload every time when open.

    It will be with the same interface as the adp has. The adp also contains a form that lists the required tables in the SQL backend. Difference is, the Access database file will not reload everything from the SQL backend on start-up.

    Yes there is 'user-group' to limit access,...

  • Currently I'm told to create an Access database file to improve the performance of an Access Project file, because the database that is setup to be connect from the adp file contains hundreds of tables and other stuffs which is not needed.

    What this access database will do is to list the necessary tables, then it will create a link table once the user select it. And to save time from refreshing data at start, these created link tables...

  • When I run the code, it will populate a ODBC link table into the table list. But when I run the code to this particular table, no error has shown, and the link table is not populate into the table list. The reason I know it involves with the dot within a column name, is I tried creating a pass-through query to open the table, when I execute the query it ask me to enter value to this column. The Access program itself might have reckon the field name...

  • VBA problem - create link table that has dot in its column name

    Hi, I wrote a VBA code to create ODBC link table from SQL server. The code just works fine to most table exist in the SQL server database.

    However, one of the table's column name has a dot (e.g. [Payment Freq. New]), which result unable to create link table. Below is the code that creates link tables, is there any solution to include the dot as part of the column name? Thanks.

    Code:

  • If you are running the query in Access, simply correct Date()-1 into DateDiff("d",1, Date).

  • Its simply a GROUP BY clause you want.
    Code:
    SELECT (the stuffs)
    FROM Table_A
    GROUP BY ORS_ID
    The problem you have in your initial example is the records are already unique. SQL will not help you to decide taking out which team number (12203 or 13203), the solution to this is to remove the Team_num column. Otherwise this is a continuous nonsense.

    replied to Access 2010 Ribbon - Disable Design View?
    Make ACCDE format database can simply remains necessary functions but disable the design view button.

    In Access 2010, click File --> Save & Publish, from the screen it shows, the "Save Database As" should be highlighted, then look for "Make ACCDE" on the right.

    Make sure you keep the ACCDB database to yourself for modify / update / upgrade purposes, and split the database into Front end and back...

  • A runtime version is simply allowing user to open and use access database without any modification abilities. So what you do after downloading the runtime, simply install it on your client's computer, and place the databae into the computer. It's 2 seperate things.

    replied to Problem for report printing's color
    I had made a bit of work around to print the report in a semi-auto way: open report -> open print dialog -> print -> close report.
    Code:
        DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acViewPreview
        DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdPrint
        DoCmd.Close acReport, stDocName
    From the print dialog, I found the database itself changes the setting print quality from "Black and White" to "Colour", this doesn't happen to any...

    Problem for report printing's color

    I have a simple database to print reports in the company, but the default setting for the printer seems different. The printer's default setting will print all pages in black and white, even the reports don't have any colors as well.

    When a print button is clicked, the procedure automatically changed to print in color; because a login is required if the quality is set to color in the company printer. I have no idea why only this database...

    replied to How do I convert date yyddmm to mmddyyyy
    I guess the data type in that table field is in text, as Conerlysduck said the data is imported from file.

    If that's the case, it will be a bit complicate to convert the date formats. First from string to date, change date format, and convert it back to string. Here's a concept of update query might help
    Code:
    UPDATE [Table name] 
    SET [date field name] = CStr(Format(Format(CDate([date field name]), "20yyddmm"),

    replied to How to print all reports in click?
    You can use VBA from the on_click event to print reports one-by-one. A bit annoying method, but it should work along.
    Code:
    DoCmd.OpenReport "[report name]", acNormal, , "[Parameters]"
    
    Reports![report name].Visible = False
    
    DoCmd.SelectObject acReport, "[report name]", True
    
    DoCmd.PrintOut acPrintAll
    
    DoCmd.Close acReport, "[report name]"

    replied to Check if record exist in table Not working
    I think TheSmileyCoder must have forgot to remove some extra stuffs.
    Code:
    Dim strSQL as string 
    strSQL="Select System_ID FROM tblcheck WHERE System_ID ='" & Me.System_ID & "'" 
    MsgBox strSQL 
    set rs = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
    And I also have the same question that TheSmileyCoder has, if the System_ID is Numerical, then the single quotes are not neccessary.

  • A little correction to your quoting in criteria part
    Code:
    DLookUp ("[Axis Ia dx]", "QryContactComplete", "[IDNumber] = " & Forms!FrmContact![ClientID])

    replied to After update for date field.
    A correction to your current code first, you should place the closing double quote before the & CInt(...). Otherwise you will be seeing this code as part of your result as well. By including the cursor positioning code, it should be like this:
    Code:
    Private Sub inputDate_AfterUpdate() 
    
    transNo.Value = "99678*06*" & CInt(Format(inputDate(),'yy')) 
    
    transNo.SelStart = 10
    transNo.SelLength = 0
    ...

  • Take a look on this website as a reference, at least it can show you how to create login stuffs.

    The privileges are simply require additional column on user groups you defined. Then it'll be up to you on how the database checks user privilege with the user groups; and how the database should act among these results.
