I am using MS Access to get data from 20 different companies through QODBC.
In order to get data from multiple companies, a few challenges needed to be overcome. The main one was figuring out how to get access to quit QBW32.exe between each new company. I have figured out how to do this using a .bat file and the command taskkill.
The other challenge I have (although minor) is that each time a new company is opened, an instance of QODBC (as seen in the system tray) is opened. By the time I am done running all the companies, I have 20 QODBC icons in my tray. (one for each company i have grabbed data from).
Without exiting MS Access, is there a way to get MS Access to release the use of QODBC?
The reason I am hopeful this can be done is that once I have grabbed data from say company 1 and then forced QBW32.exe to end, and then started getting data from company 2 and then forced QBW32.exe to end, I can no longer go back to company 1 and get data again from it unless I exit Access and get back in. |

Thanks your for the idea.
However, I have already implemented those ideas into my database. By using pass through queries and the code for custom date ranges everything is working as I would have hoped, other than the fact that once I have pulled data from one company and moved onto another company, I am unable to then go back to the original company and pull data again unless I exit Access and get back in. This is due to the fact that each instance of QODBC is not released unless I exit Access.
Do you have any other ideas on how this could be accomplished? |
