Hello,

In order to have either a query, macro, module run on open of access all you need to do is create a new macro. Select the RunMacro that you would like to have run on open, when you save this macro you must name it "autoexec". You must spell it exactly like I have done here. Then when you open the database, your macro will run.

Hope this helps, if not let me know because there are other methods although I prefer this one.

Thanks

Hello I have a macro that opens up a table. I am wanting to delecte all records from this table and then close the table. I do not want to delete the table just all contents then close it. I have tried a few different ways to delete all the records automatically but it does not work. Anybody know how to edit the macro to automatically select all the rows of records and delete them then close the table?

I retrieve a table with only 2 columns. One is a auto-generated primary key column and the 2nd is a string. When I add a new row to the dataset to be updated back to the database. What should I do with the 1st column ? (Below I have a "1" in place for now). Also, Does the datase.AcceptChanges(); updates the changes to the database? Which command do I use to update the changes in dataset back to the Access database table? Thanks, Alpha...

I have a database that I need to download tables into. My ODBC source takes way to long to report from, so I need to copy certain tables to an Access database, then I run my reports off that. What's the best way to do this? Right now I'm using a macro that has two steps: 1. Deletes the current table 2. Uses the Transfer Database method to copy over the entire table to my Access database

Dear NG, Can someone assist me with writing the little code that is needed to run an update table query each time the database is opened? From what I've been able to glean from this group, the Autoexec Macro looks like the way to go. Could someone please assist? Thank you very much! Mike

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