Large Query with more than 255 fields

I have 8 tables in Access 2000, 1 Main table (Member Details) then 7
Tables that relate to this table using an ID from table 1. In all
there are 262 fields in the 9 tables.

I want to design a VB front end that has 6 tabs per record and when you
click on the ADO Data Control you go through the records and all 262
fields from the different tables that are related.

Is this best done in Access (Query) or other way. Not forgetting there
are 262 fields.

How do I do this.

Even if you uses Oracle, there is a real data structure problem here. The
Social Security system runs with less distinct fields; how did yours get
this bloated? Try running the table analyzer. I can almost predict that it
will find many fields that really should be records -i.e. phone1, phone2,
phone3, etc. when there really should be one just phone field and one
phonetype field.

As you may have already discovered, Access/Jet has a limit of 255 controls
per object. Can't see how you could fit all that on one form, even if you
decide that you want to.

I would use a seperate form for each table and then insert these into a
tabbed form (as sub forms) using the ID as the link field.

I'm developing an application for medical use that will be used to capture patient background and visit data. The application will have approximately 50 forms, with an average of about 20 fields each-- so a total of 1000+ fields. Almost always, the fields are unique to a particular form--and it will be pretty unlikely that new forms and fields will be added--although not out of the realm of possibility. There will also be a search...

Hi, I have several large XML files (500-700 MB) that get updated once a day. I have an app that will need to Query (read only operations is all I'll ever need) these files. Obviously, querying a file this large will be somewhat of a challenge because it can't be loaded into memory all at once. Also, I am skeptical of the speed of Xpath/Xquery. I am wondering if I shouldn't just create a table in SQL server, then create a routine...

I have a table with 50 fields that receive input depending on whether that input came in from a 'shaker' form or a 'conveyor' form. Input from the 'conveyor' form might populate 25 fields while input from the 'shaker' form will populate another 20-25 fields but not the same fields (however there are about 10 common fields to both). I'd thought about using two tables (one for 'conveyor' and the other for 'shaker') but thought I'd try just...

I have the following problem (MS SQL 2000): A modest table with several large fields (currently varchar(5000)), plus some datetime and integer fields recording who's done what and when. Two problems - (1) I now realise that I'm limited to 8060 characters, and (2) users seem to think even 5000 chars might be too small on occasions (the table is for recording laboratory problems, so the amount of text depends on what the local quality manager...

I have a query (SQL below) that operates on values entered by users into an unbound form to append a record to tblAdmin. I do not under- stand the basis for the error. There are some 17 or so data entry fields on the form housing perhaps 600-700 characters between the lot of them. Why might Access 97 need to err on such a simple operation?

Just curious if anyone is having issues with Acc 2007 once the number of objects and complexity increases? I have a fairly large app, with many linked tables, 100's of forms, queries, reports, and lots of vba code. I'm nearly finished with re-doing my app in access 2007, and just imported an add-in program, which has added even more forms, queries and linked tables. Every so often now, after opening many different screens, I'll...

This is mainly a speed question. In this example: I have a QuotesHdr table that has a few memo fields. If these memo fields are used extensively by some users, and if their are a large number of records in QuotesHdr, should I break out the memo fields into a separate table? The thinking here is that, for Quotes selection dropdowns that display all entries in QuotesHdr for selection, I would think that the entire record comes down over...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
