Linked database question

Stang02GT
1,208 Recognized Expert Top Contributor
This is a little difficult to explain so bear with me, and if anyone has any questions i will be happy to clarify for you

I have a database linked into my access database. This linked database is full of "projects" for the whole company. I am pulling only the "projects" that apply to my division.

this linked database is read only and i have a make table query that runs every time the access app is opened. I have a form that allows the users to search this table by a Project Id number.

what i would like to do is when the users are searching this table and come across a new record, i'm wondering if it is possible to do some coding where they can press a button and have the new recorded copied into a different table.

There are 4 tables for the different managers in my division, and id like to have four different buttons so that the record and be placed in the table that corresponds with the manager who’s group is working on the new project.


hope thats not tooooooo confusing lol

It sounds like your table structure is off. All projects should be in one table and managers in another. Then a join table should link managers to projects.

hello, I'm trying to create a linked server from an SQL2000 to a Unify ELS (very old, odbc is version 1) database on SCO unix.

I previously posted re. this, but thought I'd try again with a summary of facts. I have an Access 2000 MDB with a SQL Server 7 back end. There is a view that is linked to the database via ODBC and has been in place for several years without any performance problems. Recently I added a couple of fields to the output of the view, and it became very slow when scrolling. When just opened in the database window, the linked view takes about...

Hello there. I have a question somewhat related to this topic, and I don't know where else to go. I hope somebody can help. I've created a database in access, that I'd like to share with less than 10 users. I'd like each user to see only some of the records in the database. So for example, if I have eight users in eight countries, I want each of them to only see information for their country. I was told that the easiest way to do...

I am building an Access 2002 frontend with linked tables to an encrypted Paradox 7 database. When I first create these linked tables, I'm asked for the password to the encrypted Paradox database, and the linked tables are successfully created. I use the data from these linked tables in several forms. All works great until I close the Access frontend and open it again. When I try to use the forms, I get an error message: "Could not...

I have a split front end/back end system. However I create a number of local tables to carry out certain operations. There is a tendency for the front end to bloat so I have set 'compact on close' I think that I have read in some threads (althoug I cannot find them now) that others place such tables in a local, linked database. I could do this but I am interested to know what would be the advantages. And disadvantages, if any. Any...

Hi, I have gone throught the group and Microsoft's online help and have seen many suggestions but I am still seeking clarity: 1. I have an excel spreadsheet. Column A contains text that may be greater than 255 characters. 2. I have an access database. I link (not import) to the contents of the excel spreadsheet. In the design view in access, Column A has the data type "memo".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
