alktrigger - I am trying to take your approach. I have a booked rooms table (not equivalent to bookings because bookings can have several rooms) but I have an additional issue which is the allocation. The company gets a room allocation, say 140 rooms of a particular type and 50 of another for...

Thank you. That's given me some idea of an approach, although this would require me to set up a record for each room and in my case specific dates it is available because we have an allocation and it is limited in time (it's not all year). I was hoping to avoid such database chores such as...

Thanks alktrigger. There are compatibility issues. Could you send the 2007 version - I'm using Access 2007. Thanks economyman

I am attaching the current db architecture. It's just the beginning but really my question relates mainly to the allocation table. At the moment as can be seen in the attached picture, it includes an allocation per room type per date range. Would I be better off having an allocation per room...

Maybe I should reiterate my quesiton - should I create a multi-dimensional array of some sort and record for each night and each room a booking ID so it is clearly visible how many nights /rooms are taken / free or should this be calculated each time from the underlying allocation and booking...

Hi I'm building a DB to manage a seasonal booking system for a tour operator that runs some special events during the year at several hotels. The operator receives allocations of rooms for a given period (from date to date) including sometimes several different room types per hotel per event...

Wow - I could swear I tried that earlier but I probably had something else not quite right - it worked now. Thank you both of you - great piece of code and great solution - saved me a headache and makes me want to code again!

Same thing: Starts with Public Function, then goes to StrPath, then Set Rs - ... and the error comes again. Maybe this helps: I have added an Option Explicit and then I get Variable not defined error on the first line of the Public Function. I would like to solve this because it is bugging me...

Actually, the module is saved just as Module1 and the function as far as I can tell is called SplitTableOrQuery and comes under the General section so I don't know what else I could be doing wrong.

I call the function from a macro using Run Code and the argument: SplitTableOrQuery("May09Export",65000) Then I have a module as follows: Public Function SplitTableOrQuery(TableOrQueryName As String, MaxRows As Long) Dim Rs As DAO.Recordset Dim fileNum As Long Dim TxtStr As String Dim nIndex...

When I did that it gives me another error that it cannot find the table or query. I am using a select query for the recordset and have checked the spelling, etc.

That works now - big thanks. Now I am stuck on: Set Rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(TableOrQueryName) - I get an Invalid Operation error on this line of code. Any ideas? Thank you economyman

Hi. I had a similar need. Well actually my problem is I have a recordset with more than 750K records which I want to export into Excel to send to a customer. Excel 2007 can take that but for some reason when I try to export from Access it says that the clipboard cannot take more than 65K...

Indeed it is a a table level lookup. As I said, I set up this DB when I was just starting off with Access. In newer databases I have not done this but the truth is that at the moment I am only using this DB in its raw format without forms. I write queries including action queries and then remove...

MSAccessRookie's proposal is the perfect solution for me - I should have thought of that myself but there you go. You are a more experienced rookie then me. :) Changing the datatype as datAdrenaline suggests is what I tried before starting this thread - it didn't work, which is not surprising...

Hi There I have a DB with several thousand records in a table representing SIM card information. One of the fields is a FK Customer field. It is based on a lookup from the Customer table however for some reason unbeknown to me the data type created was Text instead of Number, even though the...

Thank you for that George. It makes sense. Cheers! Michael

Hi Can someone tell me if I am better off using an Autonumber as the PK in a table of SIM cards (GSM phone cards). Each SIM has a globally unique SIM ID number. It has a certain structure however from my perspective I don't care too much about the structure. I have a list of SIMs we have...
