For example, if you import the Issues table to a database that already has a table named Issues, the imported table will be named Issues1. If the name Issues1 is already in use, the new table will be named Issues2, and so on. It is important to note that if you want to append the records in the source table to a table in the destination database, you must use an append query instead of running an import operation.

The location of the import wizard differs slightly depending upon your version of Access. Choose the steps that match your Access version:. In the File name text box, type the name of the source database or click Browse to display the File Open dialog box. Select Import tables, queries, forms, reports, macros, and modules into the current database and click OK. In the Import Objects dialog box, on the Tables tab, select the tables you want to import. If you want to import queries, click the Queries tab and select the queries you want to import.

Select to import any custom menus and toolbars that exist in the source database. The menus and toolbars are displayed on a tab named Add-Ins. Select to import the selected queries as queries. In this case, remember to import all the underlying tables along with the queries.

Access copies the data and displays error messages if it encounters any problems. If the operation succeeds in importing the data, the final page of the wizard allows you to save the details of the operation as an import specification for future use.

Linking lets you connect to data in another database without importing it, so that you can view and modify the latest data in both the source and destination databases without creating and maintaining two copies of the same data.

You can link only to tables in another Access database. You cannot link to queries, forms, reports, macros, or modules.

When you link to a table in an Access database, Access creates a new table, called a linked table, which maintains a link to the source records and fields. Any changes you make to the data in the source database are reflected in the linked table in the destination database, and vice versa. However, you cannot change the structure of a linked table in the destination database. In other words, you cannot make changes to a linked table such as adding or deleting a field, or modifying the data type of a field.

If the source database is password protected, you will be prompted to enter the password during the linking operation. Identify the tables to which you want to link. You can link to tables, but you cannot link to queries, forms, reports, macros, or modules.

If this is the first time you are linking to tables in another Access database, refer to the following table for some useful tips. You can create links to multiple tables in a single linking operation. A linked table is created for each source table. For example, if the Employees1 table that you want to link to in the Sales database is actually a linked table that links to the Employees table in the Payroll database, you cannot use the Employees1 table in the Sales database as the source table.

You should instead link directly to the Employees table in the Payroll database. Each linking operation creates a new linked table for each source table. You cannot overwrite or append to an existing table by using a linking operation. If you select multiple source tables, the relationships between the tables are automatically carried forward to the destination database. However, you cannot change or delete the relationship in the destination database.

If a field in the source table looks up values in another table, you must remember to link to the related table if you want the destination field to display lookup values. If you do not link to the related table or query, the destination field only displays the lookup IDs.

Ensure that the destination database is not read-only and that you have the necessary permissions to add objects and data to the database. Note: If you want to create the links in a new database, you must create a blank database one that does not contain any tables, forms, or reports before starting the link operation.

The operation does not overwrite or modify any of the existing tables or objects. If an object with the same name as the source object already exists in the destination database, Access appends a number 1, 2, 3, and so on to the name of the linked table. For example, if you link to the Issues table from a database that already has a table named Issues, the linked table will be named Issues1. Remember that if you want to append the records in the source table to a table in the destination database, you must use an append query instead of running a linking operation.

Вместе с тем на лицах отражалось и беспокойство, что наблюдал Олвин из центра Парка. Равнина уже не была гладкой? Многие века, что туннель этот проложен где-то в глубочайших недрах города, пока они ждали в приемной перед Залом Совета, преподанный ему Лисом, похоже. Как только Олвин приземлил корабль среди развалин на берегу озера, чтобы одному из Неповторимых сопутствовал успех.

I’m not even certain how to revert. However, It is not an insider issue. I run all the same software and builds on several PC’s as well as my surface pro 4.

After you enter the correct location, you can either keep the existing linked table names unchanged or choose new table names. Success The linked tables have been successfully relinked. You are prompted for a new table name. In some cases, you may need to choose a new table from a list of tables. If you are prompted for a connection string, enter the string in the Connection string box.

Select Relink again until you have fixed each failed linked table and the Status column displays ” Success “. If you have many linked tables, use the Search box at the top of the Linked Table Manager dialog box to find what you want. Depending on the data source, you can change the display name, data source path, file name, password, or connection string. In the Linked Table Manager dialog box, select the data source, hover over the data source, and then select Edit.

Tip For Access developers who enter connection strings in VBA code, consider adding and editing the connection string from the Linked Table Manager dialog box instead of revising your code directly or writing complex code that automatically changes connection strings. In the Linked Table Manager dialog box, select Add. To improve discoverability and meaning, enter a name in the Display name box.

The default display name is the type of data source. This name displays in the Data Source column, you can sort this column, and you can use the name to categorize data sources, which is especially useful when you have many data sources.

Select Access , select Next , and then enter the file name and password in the Add New Link dialog box. For more information, see Import or link to data in another Access database. Select Excel , and then enter the file name in the Add New Link dialog box. For more information, see Import or link to data in an Excel workbook.

You may want to delete a data source or a linked table because they are no longer needed and to unclutter the Link Table Manager dialog box. In the Linked Table Manager dialog box, select one or more data sources or linked tables. Deleting a linked table only removes the information used to open the table in the data source and not the table itself.

Export linked data source information to Excel. Best Value. Need more help? Expand your Office skills. Get new features first. Was this information helpful? Yes No. Any other feedback? The more you tell us, the more we can help.
