Hi,
I have been trying to split a MS Access database into an access frontend
and a mysql-backend on linux, linked by myODBC. So far most of
functionality is there, but I still have some mayor problems:
1. sorting seems to be a problem. I have coverted some
queries into pass-through-queries, manually typing the
SQL statement, and that fixed the sorting problem. However,
pass-through queries are not updatable, i think, so I can
not add or delete from the sorted form.
2. When I add a new record in a form containing a linked
subform, the subform is empty. This is really annoying, and
I have not been able to fix this in any way. When all was
running under Access, I had no problems. This is the situation
in short:
In MySQL: three tables Customer, Order and Products
These are linked into access.
In Access: From the tables queries are defined, on for the
form, containing fields from the Customer and Order
tables. The query for the subform contains fields
from Products, including an Order_ID to match the
form and subform.
When I open the form and click for a new record, the
subform is empty, where it should be filled with a
blank record (with only Order_Id filled in).
Does anybody have an idea what causes this behavioour, and how it
be solved?
thanks in advance,
Michiel Kreutzer
