Adding Field to a Form built on an ODBC Table

1 New Member
Hello:

I currently have an Access2000 form that is built on a query that is using a table that is linked via ODBC connection. The table pulls down a list of project numbers from my company's database and shows what account they will be charged to. I would like to add a field to my form that allows me to input the project description for the project number. Is there anyway to do this? It seems simple, but I have not been able to find anything that works.

Thanks!

Create a new table from the linked table containing just the ProjectNumbers and then you can create new fields like a description field.

You can then create a query based on both tables.

Hello All, I have these tables (lets call it ‘EmpCalls', ‘EmpOrders', and ‘Stats') that each contain the list of EmployeeIDs, I want to be able to create a Module in which I could call in my VB form (by clicking and command button)that will add a column (field) to each table and label it with the current date that is specified in my form. Does anyone know how I can go about doing this? Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

Hi all, I have been working with this since last night, and can't quite figure out why it's not working.

All it does is get the username and password, pull up a recordeset of the usernames and sets the UserId to be used throughout the session. The table Userlist is a SQL 2000 linked table. I can...

We're starting to use Oracle for the back-end instead of a separate Access .mdb file for the data and everything as gone surprisingly well so far. We are learning Oracle as we go; Yikes!

I'm wondering if adding an autonumber primary key will improve the performance of a multiuser access database on a network share. I have a website that lists many tips for improving performance of access, but doesn't mention primary keys. However, it seems logical to think that having no primary key means that when a user updates a record, the database has to do comparisons on multiple fields to identify the specific record being...

I have zero experience with ODBC. If I have an Access frontend connected to a SQL Database using ODBC, are the tables connected like a frontend/backend Access database where the the tables you see in the frontend are only "copies" of the tables in the backend? Or ar the tables "real" tables connected to the SQL tables in some manner? If the latter, can an Access table have more fields than the SQL table it is linked to? The reason for my...

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.

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. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
