Use An Excel VBA Variable That Contains A Field Name To Be Used In A DAO SQL "ALTER TABLE" Statement For An Access Database?
Jun 23, 2009
As you can see below in the code the " & tblName & " will work fine but instead of using the BankName (which the user cannot change because it is in the code) I would like to do the same as I did with the Table name and use a variable that gets its name from an excel spreadsheet rather that an actual name hard coded in a VBA module. I would like the variable field name entered in the Excel Spreadsheet by the user just like the table name is filled in by the user. The problem is getting the ADO SQL string ( cmd.CommandText = "ALTER TABLE " & tblName & " Add Column BankName Char(25)" ) to recognize that the value in the Variable " & fldName & " is the field name to be used.
Sub AddFieldToAccess()
Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection
Dim cmd As ADODB.Command
[code]....
'If I do this I end up with a field named BankName what I need is the name in the variable " & fldName & "
There is a label control on .aspx The text "hello" comes from database i.e. label1.text = "hello" Note that, I do not have permission to change the UI code.
I would like to alter the value of the field in the table to show the text as bold i.e. <strong>
To have the text displayed as highlighted i.e. bold, I manually modified the text inside the field of the table to show
<strong>hello</strong>
Is this ok? It does not seem to work because in the label control I see: <strong>hello</strong>
I need to add a new field to an Access database table, the user has filled the table with data, so I have to add the new field but to preserve the old data.
I have found the ALTER TABLE statement, but it gives me an error (ALTER TABLE is not a valid statement)
I done this in php+mysql with "ALTER TABLE People ADD Address TEXT NULL AFTER Name" (as an example)
I have a piece of code that is suppose to update the password field when the user wants to change password but I get an error line: An unhandled exception of type 'System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException' occurred in system.data.dll error line: cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()

I have a VB.Net application that is using an Accss 2003 Database (Design Master) and I'd like to run an SQL Transact command to make an existing text field requried. So far I have tried the following and both appear to give an error and do not make my field "Required" (IS NOT NULL).
ALTER TABLE tblJobs ADD CONSTRAINT LeadSourceNotNull CHECK (LeadSource IS NOT NULL) ALTER TABLE tblJobs ALTER COLUMN LeadSource IS NOT NULL
simple method to make an existing Access 2003 Table field required?
PS: I will be running a query to make all row entries that have a null in the LeadSource field equal to "Unknown" before I ALTER TABLE?
I am creating a database in VB.NET for a movie rental place. I currently have three forms;
Member Information DVD Information Borrow DVDs
What I would like to do is when I am viewing a member's details, if I click a button 'Borrow DVD for Member', the member's ID number transfers over to the Borrow DVDs table in the Member ID which also would hold some information from the DVD Information table, but I'm sure if i can figure out how to do this firstly, I will be able to apply the same rule and work it out myself.I have been trying to use a query statement like;
INSERT INTO [Borrow DVDs].[Member ID] [IN goodstuffvideos.mdb] SELECT [Member Information].[Member ID] FROM [Member Information]
but that has been coming up with error codes and completely not working.
Borrow DVDs table fields are: Borrow ID, Member ID, DVD ID Number, Hiring Fee, Borrowing Limit?
DVD Information table fields are: DVD ID Number, Title, Rating, Hiring Fee, Borrowing Limit Member?
Information table fields are: Member ID, Family Name, Given Name, Address, Town/Suburb, Postcode?
The error coming up is; Error in INSERT statement. Unable to parse query text.And under that it says The query cannot be represented graphically in the Diagram and Criteria Pane.

i just got 1 question how do u create a (in excel ) variable table (database) inside a function which could be called for filling and reading through "for to next" loop module
I can save my data to access database and in the access database field I set it to date/time.But problem is when I get the value out from the database.. the format is always month/day/year hour:minutes:seconds example today: 5/2/2011 12:00:00..How to get the value into listview becoming May/2/2011 without the hour..Here's my code to get it from database ListView1.Items(i).SubItems.Add(dt.Rows(i)(14).ToString).The second problem is.When I would like to edit, how can the datetimepicker get the listview value ? [code] info: using access 2003 (.mdb) the Date of Birth field has been set into Date/Time.
In my programming task I've gone down a dark alley and wished I hadn't, but there is no turning back now.
I'm building up a SQL statement where the table name, column name and id value are retrieved from query string parameters i.e. ("SELECT [{0}] FROM [{1}] WHERE [Id] = {2};", c, t, id)
But it isn't as bad as it looks, I'm protected: Only authenticated users (i.e. signed in users) can execute the Page_Load I'm checking that both the table and the column exists beforehand (using GetSchema etc.)I'm checking that the Id is an integer beforehand All my tables have Id columns The database connection is reasonably secure
here is a With...End With question. With variable As Type = value .property = value1 'I can access its properties Function f(.) 'syntax error, but how can I access the variable itself? End With
I am trying to import a bunch of excel 2003 files all with A:H columns and they are under the same headings etc. into a table in access 2003 database. This is a module in access im making. Im using a file search to look for every file that begins with Format (which they all do ) to get at all the files in the folder path. is there a more efficient way to do this? somehow select all files in a folder? and import each to the same table in access? The DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet seeems to take each file path individually so I'm not sure how to get each file name in the folder to import it.
I have this at the moment:
Sub Import() Dim db As Database Set db = CurrentDb
I have an access database called BKWThermDB1. Within than I have a table called THERMOWELL_DATA. within this table I have a column called QuoteNumber. All I want to do is search that column for an existing number so I can let the user know that this number already exists and to create a different number. I am using the code below which will tell me my Column exists. How can I alter the code to tell me if a certain number exists within that column?

I just started using VS2010. I am very familiar with Visual Basic 6 and was very comfortable with it.I was able to take a variable and assign a database field to iwithout using data binding. I can't seem to figure out how to do thatin VS2010 What I am trying to do is have the use enter a password to gain access to the program. The password is stored in a database so that the user/owner can change this password to suit their preference.
How can i declare a simple variable in a form that is the count of the amount of times a field appears in a database.Basically i want to count the amount of times the word "Saloon" appears in a column in my database (access 2007) and then assign that value to a variable.
i have create a software for my college which is document management. well am doing good so far up to now where i need to upgrade my database what i mean ?
in case i need to make any changes to my database i don't want to enter the database and create new table or add new fields to existing table to my current database,i would like to do that throught visual studio 2010 programaticaly. something like an additional application where i will choose my database path and the application will upgrade the database with new tables or new fields .
i would like also to ask, in order to create database,or if you already have the database and you like to just open the connection to it programaticaly and add new field ,or relate some table ,you have to work with different librarys? Like ADOX,DAO etc ? and other.?
I am trying to write a program that will access a remote database and let the user edit different tables that are in the database.My program currently connects to the database however I do not know how to select or display a particular table to the user.
I want to alter the .visible property of a label based on if a variable is positive or negative (Hiding it for negative values) But I want to do this for lots of labels so If Statements are too bulky.
I tried this:
Label1.visible = CBool(IntVariable1)
But it turns out CBool returns True for ANY value and False for Zero.I'd assumed it would be True for positive values and False for negatives.How can I do it without if statements?I considered Modulo or SquareRoots to somehow convert a negative number into zero, but didn't want to complicate things with imaginary numbers.
