    Numbers, text and null all in one field, linked from Excel

    Hi, the OpenDatabase method has the following syntax: Expression.OpenDatabase(Name, Options, ReadOnly, Connect) On your machine with Office 2003 you have to use 'Excel 8.0' instead of 'Excel 12.0 Xml' for the Connect parameter. Good luck!

    Design Question

    We have something in common, taking classes "it's information overload" as you said in a previous posting. However, the "best way to learn programming" depends on your personality. Younger people search (and find!) nearly everything in the internet. Older people (like me) are used to search in...

    Design Question

    Hi Rita, don't exaggerate... In case this thread is coming to an end, let me add some thoughts. In the meantime I had a look to some "other corners" of your big application. In summary I would say you made the same "mistake" I did years ago. I started developing without any knowledge and then...

    Design Question

    Sorry, there was something I've overlooked. See, if it works now (including form 'Products'). I set the property 'Allow append' in 'sfComponentParts' to 'No'. Because of the relation between the tables 'ComponentParts' and 'CompontPartsActual' it's not possible to add new parts in this subform...

    Need a solution for database update

    Precisely! As I'm not familiar with MySQL, I cannot advise but it shouldn't be that different. Good luck with your project!

    Design Question

    You sound quite desperate. Don't worry, I will support you until you succeed. The message "formulare!fkits!qKits" which popped up was my fault. I apologise! I've added 'qCompPartsForSubform'. Why? For two reasons. 1. It did not work the way it should (that is to show the parts right after...

    Need a solution for database update

    If this is a real enterprise application of course they should not be able to see the code. I would do it like this: - When the user starts the frontend, run a check to find out the backend version. - If it's not the actual one, run some code that executes the 'alter commands'. - If...

    Need a solution for database update

    You can run 'sql alter commands' from any frontend. I prefer to do it using ADO commands. I suggest to implement a second 'backup feature' for your 'offline version'. See also: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff196148.aspx

    Question Scroll wheel doesn't work in only one table

    Did you try to create a new table (manually, not by copying the structure), fill it with your records and delete the 'corrupted' one? Did you open your database with the /decompile attribute and then compact/repair?

    Pulling data from one table into another table

    Create two DAO recordsets, move through the first one via loop, use the 'FindFirst' method upon the second and set the field values of the second recordset accordingly if the values of 'A_Code' match.

    Numbers, text and null all in one field, linked from Excel

    Hi Big Pat, what's the best way to proceed with this? I don't know. But I found a solution using VBA that works at least: Private Sub AppendExcelData() On Error GoTo Err_Append Dim dbXLS As DAO.Database Set dbXLS = OpenDatabase("PathAndNameOfYourExcelFile", False, True, "Excel 12.0...

    Table Query, update, and save to another table.

    Hi plog, I hope you don't mind for jumping in. PMF1957: in Access normally you can open a form only once. To go to another serial number you can put an unbound combobox on your form, let's name it 'cboSerialNumber'. Set the record source property to: SELECT Equipment.EquipmentID...

    XML/Text file find/add

    Hi Salbrox, the code you 'found online' cannot work. If you would replace the line If Left(9, ThisLine) = "<STATUS>" And Right(1, ThisLine) <> ">" Then by If Left(ThisLine, 9) = Chr(9) & "<STATUS>" And Right(ThisLine, 1) <> ">" Then then it would work, that is: without error, but it would...

    Hi brucey54, nightmare? Driving mad? - Let me put you out of your misery. Lookup fields are a very practical thing... but not convenient in your case. For a few hours I did like as it would be my database. See the result in the file attached. It would take several pages to explain all my...

    Design Question

    Hello Rita, what I've found: - routine 'KitsCompleted_BeforeUpdate' was in the module twice (if you get an VBA error telling you somewhat like 'ambiguous expression', then you should search your modules for double procedures). - when 'fKits' opens, the field value 'InventoryTransactions.Date'...
