How to determine the source columns in a linked Access Table -
i have linked table in ms access 2010 database. table importing 9 columns text file contains approx. 150 columns.
- there anyway modify linked table , change 1 column keep rest?
my research on web far has indicated not possible. wanted ask question here verify. seemingly problem many users encounter, there must intelligent solution problem, or @ least decent workaround.
- should answer first question "no", there @ least way determine columns being pulled source file?
update: suggested in comments including design view description property of table. unfortunately provides file source.
text;dsn=olsdrdp_offerttool link specification2;fmt=delimited;hdr=no;imex=2;characterset=1252;accdb=yes;database=w:\ftp\its150\07_model_pfos;table=olsdrdp_offerttool#csv
actually provides lot more. :)
in access navigation options (the f11 sidebar), enable system objects.
there tables msysimexspecs
, msysimexcolumns
. (imex = import export)
imex=2
should mean specid 2 used linked table, dsn=olsdrdp_offerttool link specification2
specname.
if filter msysimexcolumns
specid=2, should see imported columns.
you can start text import wizard csv file:
and via "extended" button ("erweitert" in german) load import specification "olsdrdp_offerttool link specification2".
to change linked table (i.e. create new linked table), complete import wizard, creating new import specification @ end.
