Let me preface this by saying that I know this is a stupid way to go about this, but it needs to be handled in this way. I need to make an application that from a master database creates a number of access database files (tables of a larger db), then these are manually given to users who fill in data, the database files are emailed back...
Hi, I need to automate the migration from an Access (2003) to an SQL Server DB (2005 or 2008). The upsizing should be done automatically as part of a build process.

Hey guys, so I have two tables. They are pictured below. I have a master table "all_reports". And a user table "user list". The master table may have users that do not exist in the user list. I need to add them to the user list. The master table may have duplicates in them (check picture). The master list does not contain all the inf...

Excel has a built in function for grabbing us...

A co-worker has inherited a Microsoft Access macro that executes a series of SQL operations against a Sybase database by calling OpenQuery on a bunch of action queries, which use linked tables over ODBC. I would like to help him convert it to an SQL script that we can execute directly against the database. And since we have quite a few m...

The application that I'm currently working on has a funky set up for the invoices that they print. The form is the invoice that is printed out. I took a look at the Northwind DB and what it does is and it actually generates a report based on the record's information. What are the limitations of using Forms vs. Reports for printing out ...

I'm working on some VBA to do exporting and importing (using SaveAsText and LoadFromText) of MS-Access objects in an application I'm supporting. I'm hoping to be able to start storing my code in SVN so that more than one developer can work on this application at once. I keep getting the following error when I bring in queries that start...
Hi, I am working with a french version of Access and I absolutely need characters with accents (, etc.) I am calling Word from Access to do a mail-merge. I used to output the result of a query in a RTF file and merge with a .dot file. With 2003, the whole process went OK. With 2007, the accentuated characters go wrong. I tried UTF-8 enc...
