The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

VBA code to copy table structure and data from one access database to another

Asked by sxxgupta in Access Coding/Macros, Microsoft Access Database

Right now I have a database that contains liked SQL tables. If I want to analyze data "offline", I simply just cannot copy the database as another .mdb file because the tables are copied as linked SQL tables. Could someone please help me in developing VBA code that will copy the table structure and data to another .mdb file? The tables being copied should have the same name. Right now I have some code bits for exporting queries, macros, etc to an offline database defined by the variable qaPath (see code below). I want to follow the same logic of copying the table structure and data of these linked SQL tables that I can insert into the code below. Right now I am using a macro (called 'z copy tables') to peform this task, where essentially I am using artificially created queries to output the data of these linked tables and then copying these queries outputs as data inputs to my offline tables. I think this is extremely inefficient especially if new linked SQL tables are created that I have to keep track of it. I believe VBA is the way to go. I have attached an example of one line of the macro below:

Transfer Type: Export
Database Type: Microsoft Access
Database Name: C:\Documents and Settings\sanjayg\Desktop\qa.mdb
Object Type: Table
Source: copy Test ------------------------The name of the table is Test and I have created query 'copy Test' to output table Test data
Destination: Test --------------------------The new name of the table is the same as the name of the linked table
Structure Only: No

I would have to do this about 100 times because there are about that many tables. This means I would have to create 100 queries and then fill in 100 line items in the macro to copy the table structure and data and export the table object, its structure, and data to "qaPath".

Please help.
