Hi,
Can anyone point me in the right direction to learn how to
get real time updates in an Access form from an Excel spreadsheet?
I'm trying to link the following formula which exists in an Excel
spreadsheet and works perfectly to an Access form. It's just like
a checkbook register.
C2=(C1-A2+B2)
I would drag this formula down for a coupel of hundred records
( or "rows"), which leaves me initially with column C full of zeros and
that's OK.
C is the running sum column. The A column is any number
and the B column is any number.
So I look "up" at my last running sum, (C2 looks "up" at C1),
deduct any numbers from A2 and add any number from B2.
So on and so forth as I add numbers into columns A and B.
When I use File / Get External Data / Link Tables it "almost" works,
but there's a lot of fussing around with it (bringing the spreadsheet to the
forefront and then bringing the form to the forefront, etc.), and in the
end, I get a
"spreadshee t is full" error and the whole thing comes a halt. I've tried
various
codes, etc. even from the MS site and they don't work very well. This just
isn't something Access does well I suppose.
Thanks for any help, hints or tips.
Thank you,
Mark

How to run action query against linked table?
I have an Access 2003 mdb with an Excel 2003 Workbook as a linked table.
When I attempt to run an action query against the linked table I get this
error:
Deleting data in a linked table is not supported by this ISAM.
From what I understand, indexed sequential access method (ISAM) drivers are
used to update "non-Microsoft" file formats. So why doesn't Access

In MS Excel 2003, I have VBA code that creates and executes queries

The first time the query is executed, results are returned to Excel in
usually less than 10 seconds. However, if the...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
