    Create Structure

    Some time ago I watched a technician creating structure from a table, using 2013, as fast as 123. I have been looking through the menu system in Access, and can't find how to accomplish this. Saving active table as a structure. Bob

    If in Column color

    Back in March of 2010. It wasn't much of a chance for me to understand the code that you help me with. You would think by now I would have a better understanding. I'm really not much closer. But I do appreciate your putting together the code. I wish I had the ability. Bob

    Make file name part of a field value

    So I'm assuming, from the response, that the filename would have to be part of a field. And that would be okay but how would I get the filename into access, 365, as a field name. I also failed to mention that the file name has to be changed to the second set of characters, B, or 427900 and than...

    Make file name part of a field value

    I'm trying to split up the filename into four separate fields. Here's an example of the filename: 123112 427900 55261 1156833.jpg A 12312 B 427900 C 55261 D 1156833 The values A, B and C are always the same number of characters. The last value, D, changes in size. It can be anywhere from four...

    Remove "-" from a six character field

    I have a field called "SC" with a value 13-251. I need to remove the "-" ending up with 13251. I tried using, as a starting point, Mid(String, Start, Length) with no success. I found this in another topic, and thought this might be close to what I was looking for. I sure did not know how to use...

    If tables match adding value n field

    I was able to get a solution using Microsoft community my answer. UPDATE PERMIT INNER JOIN WICHK ON PERMIT.seal = WICHK.seal SET PERMIT.[WI-WI] = "okay", WICHK.[WI-WI] = "okay"; I will bit surprised. AccessWorld used to be the top-of-the-line. Maybe I just didn't explain myself as well as I...

    If tables match adding value n field

    I've tried several ways to match two Tables with no luck. So I changed my thoughts a bit: Permit->Seal (also contains a field called "SEQNO") SealCHK->Seal (also contains a field called "SEQNO" which are all empty fields currently) If Permit->Seal = SealCHK->Seal than SealCHK->SEQNO should...

    Link external file to an existing database.

    Yes the mission was to capture all the filenames. No one was able to figure it out anywhere. But by chance I resolved the issue by capturing over 6500 files in less than 30 seconds. So even though it's not part of Access I did want to share this amazing accomplishment: I'm afraid I was trying...

    Link external file to an existing database.

    I have been searching around looking for a solution. All in trying to do is find out if a filename, in one folder, exist in my Access database, table. I was thinking that Access cannot look into a directory itself what may be VBA could. It's a matter of a file, name, existing in Access, and if...

    Link external file to an existing database.

    I did check it out. It's a bit over my head. I also think it's probably far greater than what I'm looking for. I just have a stack of files and I want to create a record in the database that contains the file name and a link to it. Based on my limited knowledge of Access I might have to run some...

    Link external file to an existing database.

    Permit can be anything Table or database. What ever will work best. Permit is a table or database that has a field called "SC". "SC" contains the filenames of images that reside in a directory on my hard drive. I have added an additional field to Permit-"SCART". I need to create a link to...

    Link external file to an existing database.

    Logically I'm thinking what I need can be done. I just don't have a clue on to the direction start. Basically it's trying to take all the files in a given directory and add them into a existing database. I have a database called Permit. the database has a field called "SEAL" and they will be...
