Linking Primary Key To Foreign Key
Jun 5, 2009
I am creating an Access database from excel. In the code I get the Database and Tables name from Excel spread sheet and assign them to variables.
In the first table, & tblNamePrime &, I create a Primary Key called, [PrimeRecId]. I create a second table, & tblName & and try to create a Foreign Key called, [RecId] and try to Reference it to the table, & tblNamePrime & [PrimeRecId]. I always receive the following error message:
Syntax Error in CONSTRAINT Clause
-2147217900(80040e14)
If I remove the code in blue it creates the tables but then I need to go th access and link them by access
I have tried many different ways and have followed instructions from SQL, Access VBA and I am unable to Link the Primary Key to the Foreign Key.
I am new at trying to tie Excel to Access and SQL.
The code below is just 2 tables but when I am done there will be a total of 4 tables all linked back to the first table.
Private Sub RDCModel()
Dim dbConnectStr As String
Dim Catalog As Object
Dim cnt As ADODB.Connection
Dim dbPath As String
Dim tblNamePrime As String
Dim tblName As String
'Set database name here
'MsgBox "Current user is " & Application.UserName
dbPath = ActiveSheet.Range("C1").Value 'Database Name.........

I have a VBA program in Excel that creates an Access Database. There are 4 tables and below are the SQL statements that create the Database. There are more fields associated with each table. When I go to Access the tables look great and I do not get any error messages.
[code] ...
When I send, “write” records from Excel to the tables the record's data is written correctly, the AcountInformation [RecId] updates with an auto number correctly the Primary Key auto number of each of the subsequent tables updates correctly.
The Foreign keys do not contain the record number from the, “refers back to AcountInformation [RecId] Primary Number”. Every thing works except the updating of the Foreign Key
I have tried everything even going into access and manually deleting a record from AcountInformation table to see if it deletes the appropriate records in the other tables and updating a record. It does not update and or delete the records from the other Tables.
The bottom line, Access does not pass a Primary key number to the Foreign Key.

I have a sheet that the first words in the cells are in Arabic. How can I move the foreign words to another column? The number of words varies and they are all in the beginning of the cell.

I've always found these forums a valuable resource while searching for answers to coding questions. My question today deals with international distribution of Macros.
I've written a macro and its been distributed worldwide. It works just fine on the multiple instances where people have installed it here in the US. However, two of my colleagues in Mexico and Brazil are recieivng Type Mismatch Errors. Here is the code that is crashing:
'Making sure I'm on the right page
Sheets("Summary").Activate
'resetting variables to the top of the page
Let intsummrow = 7
Let intsummcol = 1
' Loop to find the last column
Let vartemp1 = Cells(intsummrow, intsummcol).Value
Do Until vartemp1 = ""
Let intsummcol = intsummcol + 1
Let vartemp1 = Cells(intsummrow, intsummcol).Value
Loop
The precise type mismatch is occuring at:
Do Until vartemp1 = ""
vartemp1 is a variant variable which at this point is storing the cell contents
intsummcol is an integer variable storing the column number
intsummrow is an integer variable storing the row number
And through my follow-up testing I've confirmed that in my US based copy cell A7 does have text in it.

I need to convert some xlsx files into CSV, but they contain the following foreign languages -
Polish

Hungarian
When saving these files as CSV many of the unique characters get changed to a ?
I have tried a few things like using Open Office and saving it as a text CSV and then adjusting the formatting to unicode 8 but it hasn't worked. i am using Excel 2013?

I have been trying to break my new chart that combines stacked bars on the primary axis with their labels on a transparent line graph tied to the secondary axis. The secondary axis allows me to show the labels I want as categories and position them relative to the visible part of the stacked bar (waterfall style) proportionately outside of the bar. The trouble comes when my label positioning is less than or more than the primary boundaries. I can solve this manually by changing the max or min value of the secondary axis, but what I really want is for the secondary axis to be locked to the primary axis' max and min automatically.

I know it is possible in Access auto assign a unique ID (primary key?) to each record in a table. I am creating records in a table using Excel and Visual Basic to write to a ".mdb" file without using Access. Is there a way to auto assign a unique ID within the coding?
The reason I ask this is if I had two users writing to the ".mdb" file at the same time, I don't want them to end up with the same ID's for two differend records.

I would like to generate a primary key for each line of my spreadsheet. My spreadsheet flows like so: Each row is an individual record. I have a status column that represents the status of each record. Ultimately, thie represents different forms of open status & then of course a closed status. The only other status is blank. When I go from blank status to non-blank I would like to generate a unique # that I can use key that I can it use refer to this unique record.

In VBA, how to add a secondary x-axis in the lower portion of the chart if I already have the primary axis in the upper part?
This code
ActiveChart.HasAxis(xlCategory, xlSecondary) = True
just adds it to the upper if I have the primary at lower.

I have a document to track funding and would like to be able to auto-populate individual task sheets within the workbook based on a task drop-down. So if I choose Safety from the "Task Area" drop down it would auto populate the full row from the Master Sheet to the Safety Sheet. I have uploaded my document so you can better understand.

I have a chart with sales data on one axis and inventory on a secondary axis. I have the average of each columns of data and want to add a reference line to each axis with it's average. I have added the averages to my data set, but it only adds the reference line to my primary axis. I actually began by manually inserting two lines to the chart (which seems asinine). They actually didn't print because they weren't actually on the chart, but rather just on the spreadsheet behind.

I have this spreadsheet that has over 20,000 rows. I was asked to build a search page to will bring back all transactions based on a primary key (account number). Here is a sample:
Account NumberDateComments2343566/2/2009 $ 111.43 3453465/1/2009 $ 89.34 5676552/5/2008 $ 643.23 8078989/3/2008 $1,245.34 12543612/5/2008 $ 56.65 2343562/2/2009 $ 343.54 3482459/9/2008 $ 78.76 9345641/2/2009 $ 356.22 2343565/3/2008 $ 529.66
The idea is to enter an account number like 234356 click a button and bring back:
Account NumberDateComments2343566/2/2009 $ 111.43 2343562/2/2009 $ 343.54 2343565/3/2008 $ 529.66
I got the button part done and using vlookup it brings back the first line. The problem is that it won't bring back all the rows just the first one.

I have a sheet which I need to arrange and it looks like -
Column A
Column B
Column C
Column D
[Code]...
the values in Column B, C , D , E & F need to be in new columns based on what we have in Column A associated with "1"
Output should be -
Column A
Column B
Column C
[Code]....
so whatever is in Column A associated with "0" should remain in place whereas whatever is in Colimn A associated with "1" should get added to the new columns. 0 and 1 resembles the 1 Records which are used as a split to normalize the data.

I've put together code to construct a chart
It all works fine but I've noticed an odd quirk which I can't explain nor can I seem to fix. Here's the (reduced) code :
Code:
Dim appExcel As Object ' Excel Application
Dim chtPareto As Object ' Chart
Set appExcel = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Set chtPareto = appExcel.Charts.Add
With chtPareto
' Primary category axis
[code]....
The category (x) axis title should be horizontal, whereas the value (y) axis title should be rotated. Stepping through the code, when I .SetElement for the category axis title, it appears horizontal as planned. However, as soon as I .SetElement for the rotated value axis title, the category axis title also rotates.

The following code works to update the target sheet based on matching column names within the source sheet.
However, I would like to bolster this by not only updating based on matching field names, but also the primary key in column A. Meaning the data from the source sheet isn't always in the same order (based on primary keys) as the data in the target sheet. So I want to keep the order of the primary key in the first column and then update matching field names in column B through the last column where the primary keys match between the source and target worksheets.
Sub CopyDataBlocks()
'VARIABLE NAME 'DEFINITION
Dim SourceSheet As Worksheet 'The data to be copied is here

I am in the process of making a database more efficient and am running into a problem with sorting data. I currently am trying to use AutoFilter to sort the data. When I want to then narrow the results further using the same column as the critical and there is nothing that matches the critical, I get everything from the entire database that matches that critical rather than what I want to see, which, in this case, would be nothing.
I have attached a sample file. In it, when All AF 1000 is run and then Selected MAC 2000 Wash is run, I want to see no results instead of seeing all MAC 2000 Washes from the original data set. I can do it using IF/THEN but I am looking for a faster way to do it.

It is quite standard to create links between workbooks, and generally I do this by inserting an "=" sign in the cell I want data to appear in for Workbook 1, I then open workbook 2 where the desired data is and click on the cell housing the data I want.
I just went to do this, and upon putting the = sign in the cell I want in workbook 1 and clicking in workbook 2 nothing happens except my cursor is now in workbook 2 and the = sign just remains alone in the workbook 1 cell.
If, however, I put an = sign in a cell in workbook on and then click another cell in that sheet or a cell in another worksheet but in the same workbook a proper link is created, so the problem seems to be isolated to links to other workbooks.

I've attached a basic excel file with an example of the problem I need to solve. As you can see, if you select "No" to "Do they have a pet?" then conditional formatting blocks out the next field. The problem with that is, it still allows you to enter a value into the "Type" field which is skewing my results. Is there a way to allow a value in "Type" ONLY if there is "Yes" in "Do they have a pet?". I would also like it to delete the value in "Type" if I later select "No" instead of just covering it up. Is this possible? I'd like to avoid the scripting route if at all possible but I'm not sure it is...
Also, I have two linked spreadsheets, one pulls the totals off the other. However, If I add rows into the original it does not update the total formulas in the second sheet. Is there a way to make it do this automatically?

I am working with excel2003. I have to different workbooks in which on is a Bill of lading that is used to show the items being shipped. The other workbook has a list of the items that we ship.
On the BOL I want to be able to type in the "L" number (or I.D. number) in D14, D19, D24, D29. By typing in the L-number I want it to automatically bring up the product name into cells E14, E19, E24 and E29. With the exact name of the item it will help prevent employee error. I want it to also bring over the exact weight over from the flavor list in cell range C5:C28.
I have the FlavorCodes range with all the L-numbers on the BOL in cell range U9:U48. I thought I had it set up correctly but when I select the L-number in the drop down list in cells E14, E19, E24 and E29 I get error code #NA. I thought I defined the cell range but it is still not working.
The workbooks are attached below.

I have a problem and wanted to know if there was an easier way to create links to various worksheets. I have a folder with 59 worksheets. The names of the Worksheets are the weeks of the year(example LA-01-01-09) I have another workbook with 13 worksheets one for every month and a sheet that totals the whole year up.
What I want to know is how can I create a link to everyone of those weekly sheets to go to my monthly sheets,so when data is entered into the weekly sheet the monthly sheet will update automatically? The weekly sheets are setup exactly the same. I'm looking only to pull row 3 columns c:d:f:g:h:i over to my monthly sheet.
I have an example of my weekly sheet and monthly sheet.

I have a Form that when the 'SUBMIT' button is clicked, I would like to validate the information and then write it to a 'MASTER SHEET'. However, the validation has gotten lengthy and I have opted to put the validation code in a separate Module to keep my general code a little cleaner.
PROBLEM:
The original code would kick you back to the form if something was wrong via a 'END SUB', but as now the SUB is on a different Module, it isn't working.

I want to pull data from about 100 different Excel files. They are located in
the same folder and drive and the data I want is in consistent cell
locations. I would to find a fast way to reference the files. something like
S:FolderJanuaryCaseNumber1.xls that will allow me to pull-down the
folumula and copy the month and case number from two separate fields on my
spreadsheet. So I would specify the month and case numbers and have them
automatically populate my link formula.

If possible I would like to create using vba a button at the end of my rows of data allowing a user to copy and insert the row next to the button, i.e. duplicate.
I am using the following code to create the button but am not clear how to link a button to a row or cell. The button would be within a cell in a row at the end of the data.
Range("a2").Offset(rowoffset, 10).Select
ActiveSheet.Buttons.Add ActiveCell.Left, ActiveCell.Top, ActiveCell.Width, ActiveCell.Height
rowoffset increments within a loop and a button is placed at the end of each row of data.
I would also like to know how to name the button.

I run a number of spreadsheets each 4 week period and these are stored in a folders named after the period. ie Period 10 will contain workbookA10wk1, workbookA10wk2, workbookA10wk3 and workbookA10wk4,
Period 11 will contain the same workbooks but named workbookA11wk1 etc.
The data from the workbooks is then used in graphs / tables for each year.
I always pick up the same cell ref in each workbook to compare each week and my table is set out with heading of period and wk.
Is it possible to use the table headings to produce the names of the workbooks that you wish to reference, ie: ='Period 13[workbookA13wk1.xls]Sheet1!$D$17 to appear under Period 13, wk1

how do I go about linking cells?
Example:
Lets say I have a workbook with 6 sheets on it and the sheets names are:
Sheet1
Sheet2
Sheet3
Sheet4
Sheet5
Status
And we will just use cell A1 through sheet1 to sheet5 and the status sheet to grab the numbers from sheet 1 through sheet5
Sheet1 through sheet5 will have numbers in cells A1
Sheet1 : 586
Sheet2 : 436
Sheet3 : 621
Sheet4 : 610
Sheet5: 561
And in the status sheet I would like to find the highest number from these 5 sheets and put it in cell A1 status sheet and have it linkable like when it finds the highest number it will put it in cell A1 on the status sheet and when I click on the A1 cell in the status sheet I would like it to goto that sheet that has the highest number it found and maybe highlight it or something.

I have a multi-tabbed spreadsheet that keeps crashing when I try to set up a reference from one tab to another tab in the same spreadsheet (e.g., =Sheet2!B1) . The spreadsheet does NOT have any macros in it although my Personal.xls DOES have numerous macros that I have been using for over 6 years with no problems. In any ase, when I start Excel without loading personal.xls, so that NO macros are loaded, the spreadsheet still causes Excel to crash when I try to set up the reference to another tab.
