What are common reasons for a Query not reflecting newly imported data?
I have a database with three tables with the first linked to the other two. I have a subdatasheet set up in the first table that are not reflecting newly imported data from the other two tables. Also Queries that should show all of the data from the tables together are not showing the newly imported data.
I have refreshed the spreadsheets, saved, and close/reopen. Suggestions?

I recently split my database with BE being stored on the network drive. When I open the DB and run Linked Table Manager to refresh linked tables, I get an error message that one of the tables has incorrect or long name. Looking at the table name, it refers to one of the tables that I have deleted long time ago (before db has been split and tables linked) and never used it but for some reason Linked Table Manager still sees it somewhere.
I repeat that this table does not exist anymore in my DB as it has been deleted. Do you know what could be the cause of this?
My job recently upgraded to office 2016, and I created some After Delete Macros in Access 2016 to save deleted data from some tables in graveyard tables.
These work fine for the tables where I had to create the graveyard tables after going to Access 2016, but the tables that already had graveyard tables won't work. I used graveyard tables on the old access (2007) by adding a delete column, checking delete for rows that will be deleted, then running a query that moved all the ones marked delete to the graveyard table.
I feel this has to be connected to the issue behind it. I have a split DB, and have imported the new tables, updated the tables with the link manager, etc. I am really dumbfounded as to why it only works for some tables, and those are the tables that got a newly created graveyard table.
I have a initial_data.json file in my project which is loaded to the database initialy using syncdb.
Now every time when i migrate(south migration) the app, old initial_data gets updated in the table.
I dont want every tables to get updated again, since some of the columns in the table are modified by user. I need to skip those tables,any solutions.
I am attempting to "sync" data from a read-only ODBC MySQL server to Access 2016. I need to move the data into Access so that I can more easily manipulate and create better customized reports.
I have linked the data tables between Access and MySQL, however I cannot get the data in these tables to automatically refresh. I must go into Access and hit "Refresh All".
What I'm looking to do is update all of my open tables in Access once nightly so that each morning the data used to build these reports is new. Currently if I leave these tables all evening, when I get in the next morning I must hit "Refresh-All" for Access to go retrieve the most recent data.
Any ideas?
The data in linked tables is automatically refreshed by access when you attempt to read them. You can do that by displaying a datasheet view of the database, or by a form where the linked table is the data source. Beware, we have had problems which tables with lots of records being the source for drop down lists, having the database locked.
Access only does this properly (and at speed) if either the underlying table has a unique clustered index, or after having linked the tables you create an index in access.
If you want to create a copy that you can manipulate (such as write to) and the underlying tables are read only, then you will have to create matching unlinked tables and execute some form of copy sql and appropriate points in your application.
A process that I am running needs to be able to delete a table and then re-create it with new data. I've recently moved it into a different database that houses all the processes for a particular division in one place. I've been required to have all the tables from the original database set up as linked tables in the new one. Now when it is run, the process deletes the linked table reference and creates a new (un-linked) table inside the new database. I know that I can delete the table through the link, but would I then be able to re-create the table and then re-link it to the new database automatically?
There are a number of ways of linking tables, but you seem to be working purely with MS Access, so
DoCmd.TransferDatabase includes Link as one of the options.
