    File too large

    Splitting the table is a must, in order to get my end result. I said I did this from the getgo. But why must I split it is the question. I pulled this from the internet: MS Access allows up to 255 columns in any given table that's a lot!. The table I am pulling in only has 170. Now, I am...

    How to write a function that does query?

    Do you have to have a function to do this? Why not create a query def? That way there's an object you can refer to after you've set your query. (optional) Create a query and give it a name... Then do something like this: Dim strQuery as String DoCmd.SetWarnings False Set qrySearch =...

    File too large

    Sorry one quick but important error in my post... It's telling me record is too large when I try to combine the table and file too large when I try to run the process for the entire table... Getting to the responses: Normalized or not the tables are what they are. These are Oracle tables used...

    Revamping some queries for new release of DB

    No sure... is it opening either query, or just doing nothing, when you click? I'm not sure if a string value of "Yes" is the issue, it might not be recognized as a string... Yes/No could be true false... you could try either: If Me.dropdownname Then DoCmd.OpenQuery ("QUERY1") Else...

    Delete query - delete records based on criteria in another table

    I could never figure out how to get the delete query to do anything worthwhile, but then again I am not as smart as most of these folks... I am sure they'd be better able to help... The way I'd do it is a bit messy, but it should do the trick unless your form uses "Table B" as its source...

    Transpose Vertical text values to Horizontal

    Yeah, so basically you have to have a column to your table... maybe call it: [Job level]. Once you add that caolumn to your table, you will then have to go through and tag each person with a designation (e.g. "Team Leader" or "Assistant 1", "Assistant 2" etc... etc..) Once you have everyone...

    Query Many to Many to find single record

    Keep your tables, but cut your query down to the minimum amount of fields you ABSOLUTELY NEED to display. Try strating with just your camera and just two other fields. Then use "group by" i.e. click the sigma symbol (it looks like this: Σ Totals). See if that doesn't get you closer to what...

    Revamping some queries for new release of DB

    In design view of the form, goto the OnClick event procedure in the properties of your dropdown box. In there you can add code something like this: IF Me.dropdownboxname = "Yes" Then docmd.OpenQuery("Query1") ELSE docmd.OpenQuery("Query2") END IF That will run two seperate...

    I Need help with Call length fields (time)

    Hmm... seems jumbled up doing it like that... could you just concatenate a date string to the time string your created... and then convert the whole thing into a date... using the CDate() function? For example: use the date function (i.e. Date()) and the value you created and concatenate...

    select query inside VBA code

    Seems to be you're putting quotes around both your numbers making them text values... is Access giving you a type mismatch? Lets say your number was 23, and your subject was books your strSQL: strSql = "SELECT '" & Me.number & "' ,Karin.[subject] " & "From Karin " & "WHERE '" & Me.number & "'"...

    Pound symbol (#) changes to a period (.)

    When Exporting an MS Access query to Excel (via. docmd.transferSpreadsheet...), the Headers of the query will convert the Pound "#" symbol into a period "." (I'm using Access 2007, if it matters). Before people start telling me that it's not good to use special characters in field headings...

    My query design defualts to SQL mode

    I had a quick question: When I click on the design mode of a query object, generally MS Access defaults to the GUI design view... but in this one application, the design view is pulling up queries in SQL mode first... If I want to set it to the GUI design mode, I have to either hit design...

    On Click event procedure skipping the On CLick code

    Actually what happened is (unbeknownst to me) there were several possible Child/subforms that all look the exact same, which can be actived, based upon the choices one makes in the Parent/Main Form. The button in question is location on the subform. So when I pulled up the main Form in design...

    HELP with an Append Query

    I know you didn't mention processing time at all... and maybe you don't need to speed things up. If not, ignore this posts. However, if things are running slowly for you, you might look into passthrough queries as they can often run MUCH faster than ODBC linked tables. Especially since you seem...
