2 Tables Insert Only New Records In Tbl1 Help Wanted ASAP
Sep 3, 2005
I have two tables tbl1 and tbl2
tbl1 has 10 fields named tbl1.id tbl1.field2 tbl1.field3 tbl1.field4
tbl2 has only three fields tbl2.field1 tbl2.field2 tbl2.field3
Now i need to insert values into tbl1::
tbl1.field1 tbl1.field2 tbl1.field3
from
tbl2.field1 tbl2.field2 tbl2.field3
respectively, but i need to make sure if tbl2.field3 value is already there in tbl1.field3 then we don't need import those records. so we only need records if value of tbl2.field3 is not already there in tbl1.field3.
Please let me know What statement do I need to write so i can import all data from tbl2 into tbl1 by comparing as above.
I have 4 tables that contain a vehicle registration number field as their primary key and have one-to-one referential integrity applied.
I want to add a new registration to all 4 tables from one query. How?
I've tried many permutations with no success, such as putting the registration on a new table and trying to apply this to the 4 RI tables. I keep getting ref intergrity violations. Obviously I could disable the ref integrity rules, update the tables and then reapply the rules, but this is not possible if I am going to make the database available to a user group. A new registration needs to be added seamlessly. By not having ref integrity could leave the DB in an inconsistent state.
Help! If what I want is not directly possible, then any work-round would be appreciated.
I have a lot data to append to ODBC linked table in MS Access. I want to know that which way is faster to append the records.
if I append the data into ODBC linked table, 1) create the one query (append) to insert the records into ODBC linked table 2) use the VBA code (DAO/ADO) to insert the records into ODBC linked table
I am at work, and I have acquired a database that prints labels. They now want the database to be coded so that after certain labels are printed the database will print a blank label. I have the code figured out as a Do While statement in order to print the blank label. The problem I am having is that I am trying to use the Insert Into command to insert the filepath into the table that adds the blank label.
|DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO Rod_tmakLabels ( Print, [Order] ) SELECT Yes AS Expr1, 'Rods Labels' AS Expr2"|
If I run the above command, it just adds the text "Rods Labels" at the end of the table. Is there anyway with the INSERT INTO command that I can insert the new label between the 2nd and 3rd row and add another row? Or is the command designed only to add a new row to the end? I haven't had any luck searching for this yet.
I'm reworking a db to make it web compatible. Right now I'm working on my Price and Sales tables.There are about 900 Sales records, 450 Price records (for about 45 Items).
I have re-done my Price table with an Autonumber Key field. (It had a multi-key which I understand web db does not support.) Each autonumber key represents a Date with new Price for a Company/Item. The Price change Dates are random.
I have put a Foreign Field in my Sales table for the Price key field.
My dilemma is matching the Sales with the Prices.
When the Price Date and Sales Date do not match (at least half of them don't match), I need to look back in the Price table to the max Date BEFORE the Sales Date in the Sales table for that Company/Item in order to select the correct Price key.
I have an idea for an Access application which is sports related and need a contact for discissing if it is possible and also for help developing the application for a future business. If anyone is interested in helping please leave your email address here.
I just wanted to say... what a wonderful resource this forum is, without it and the willingness to help and patience of the members and moderators to help others I would have given up looooong ago on my project. It is however becoming addictive, not a day goes by without my forum "fix" and I don't seem to be able to get to bed before 2am, her who must be obeyed is getting suspicious but I just cant help myself searching for answers and trying to increase my knowledge (limited as it still is) I think I have a problem...A BIG thankyou to everone:D
I run a small domestic house cleaning company in the UK. We are currently franchising our concept throughout the UK. I have a requirement for 2 databases, one for my clients & one for cleaners.
Would anyone be interested in creating something like this for me? One of the most frustrating things about databases on the market is that they do not come with a functionality to key in a letter code so that you can easily send letters/e-mails to the people in the database.
If anyone is interested please email me at csinclair@easynet.co.uk (put Access World in the subject box) I will then supply you with screen shots of the type of database I'm looking for.
I'm not looking to spam anyone or sell their data but need help to test a simple market research system that i have built. I'm looking for about 25-50 people to let me send them an email inviting them to a webform to see if the "process" works correctly from start to finish.
The form asks for limited data about people but nothing that can identify them personally. Just gender, age group and postcode prefix.
Can anyone who is OK with sending me their email address to enable me to test this please send to:
I only want the record that was just created to be in a report that is e-mailed to my supervisor. Is it possible to do this or will I am I stuck with all of the records in the table? How would I go about fixing this?
This seems like a mediocre problem but I can't think of any way of making it work. I have a table with a bunch of fields in it and one of the fields is called 'user'. Now all the other values in the fields remain pretty much the same except the User name. I want so when I try entering a new record using a form, all the fields are already filled except the 'User' field, thus allowing me to just keep filling the table up with different user names while not having to fill up the other fields. Any help would be awesome. Thank you
Hey guys, So my boss needs me to do something with the form. I'll give you an example: Say the form/table has two fields Computer Name and User. Now one computer name can have multiple users and it can be any number of users (no set amount) she wants to be able to add one user at a time and not in the same field. She also does not want to have two different records with the same computer name but different users. The way I thought of doing this was to make a button in the form so when she needs to add more users to the form she can just click the button and another field would appear saying "user 2", "user 3"..etc. Is that possible or does anyone have a better idea? Thanks in advance for the help guys
Ok I have a function that imports some spreadsheets into our db (it's a timer/scheduler on another db)> The file coming from oracle discoverer originally. Can't figure out in that 4i version how to remove the headers.
What could I add into my code in the function to import only the data and not the column names/headers? I can provide code if needed?
Hey I have a form/table that has the field name 'Type'..I want so that when a user types in 'Staff', he is able to type in a phone number, but when he typs in 'ISP' he is able to type in the name of the ISP. I have no idea how to go about this so any help would be appreciated. Thanks Yusuf
If there is someone out there that could help make the lane score sheet easier. or give an example you could send an attachment to joeschidek@hotmail.com
Overview: You are going to create a program that tracks the scores for a season in a bowling league. This program needs to be very easy to use. In fact, Access, SQL Server, or VB on top of Access is one good way to attack this program. Using a web interface to a CGI database is also acceptable. VB accessing text files will work as well. VC on top of Access/SQL Server is OK as well (wicked hard). VC has wizards that connect to databases just like VB. Check the Win 32 App Wizards.
The league meets every other week. The players bowl anywhere from 1 to 3 games (typically 3). Each week, the teams play each other and give handicaps based on total team average. The teams will win if their team total is higher than the other team’s total, including a handicap. With three games the league tracks wins/losses per game plus overall pins. This gives 4 games per week. The overall pins goes to the team with the most pins over the 3 games. As a note: the team names are the names of their captains.
The league bowls on lanes 17 through 20. This means that there are 4 teams with 5 players each.
Program flow v The program should perform like the following:
Ø User inputs the week’s data
Ø Program validates the week’s data
Ø User then tells program to update the season data
Program output requirements v Player data sheet
Ø Player average (sort by this)
§ Total pins divided by number of games
Ø Player high game
Ø Player low game
Ø Player high series
§ Highest total pins for a week
Ø Player total pins (subsort by this)
Ø Player number of games (subsort by this)
v Team Standing
Ø Sort by Wins, then losses <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< v Lane score sheet
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.>> Ø Two teams per player
Ø An entry for each player
Ø Three lines for scores for each player
Ø What alley the team is on
§ All teams must play on all lanes the same number of times in a season
§ You must determine a fair strategy to move the teams around
Ø The handicap
§ Difference in total team average
§ Whichever team has the lower average total will get the handicap
Ø Need a simple way to print different sheets for each week, based on the schedule
§ The code to automatically change the schedule based on the week is probably too much
§ A manual changing of team and lane assignments is OK
Program input requirements v Weekly data
Ø User should be able to input player scores who bowled
Ø Program should allow you to skip players that did not bowl this week
Ø Program should account for players that bowl less than 3 games
§ Example: a player with 12 games bowled going into this week, can only bowl one game
§ Once the stats are entered, the program will reflect 13 games, and calculate the average based on 13 games, not 15
Ø Program should allow inputting of which team won or lost
§ Be advised that this code can get tricky
§ I will accept, without penalty, manual entering of wins and losses
§ There can be a maximum of 4 wins per team per week
v Interface
Ø The user should be presented with command buttons, in order, to do their task
Ø They should not have to type in 50 commands nor have to open certain queries in certain order
Ø Ie: you are coding for a non Access geek, you may assume an intelligent person, not Brenda
Program calculations v Player average
v Hi game
v Low game
v Total pins per week
v Total pins overall
v Which team wins or loses
Ø You may force the user to enter this manually
Ø The amount of code to calculate wins/losses automatically is more than the amount of time to have the user calculate it manually.
i've just delivered my program to my client and there are 2 MAJOR bugs.
bug 1: the first time program is opened, everything works fine. it goes to the switchboard, etc., everything's cool. however, if he closes the program (i think he closed it using the red X) and tries to get back in, only one item on the switchboard shows up from that point on. the thing is, this problem DOESN'T HAPPEN ON MY COMPUTER so i have no way of even attempting to figure this out. the way i have my program set up is i have an interface and a BE and an .mdw file all in the same folder. i've created a shortcut that uses a workgroup switcher so that he can open the program and use it w/the .mdw file.
i have no idea what could possibly be causing this to happen. i would think that the switchboard would open correctly every time.
bug 2: this one does happen on my computer.
setup: i have frmCustomers (outer form) with sfrmJobs (subform) with a subform inside of that named sfrmFinances. Everything in frmCustomers works fine, and everything in sfrmJobs works fine. The primary key (JobID) in sfrmJobs is entered manually. After the JobID is entered, sfrmFinances is accessible. sfrmFinances' control source is qryFinances, which has a few fields from tblJobs (control source for sfrmJobs). frmCustomers is linked to sfrmJobs by CustomerID and sfrmJobs is linked to sfrmFinances by JobID.
problem: a new customer is entered in frmCustomers. a job number is entered for the new job in sfrmJobs (JobID). the user then attempts to update a field (any field, but for example, ContractPrice) and a window pops up and says, "Field cannot be updated". you click ok and it pops up again, at least 10x in a row. then it finally lets you enter data, but when you try to save the record, it pops up with another window that says,
"The changes you requested to the table were not successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primary key, or relationship. Change the data in the field or fields that contain duplicate data, remove the index, or redefine the index to permit duplicate entries and try again."
excuse me?? how could there possibly be duplicate data??? the funny thing is tho, when the user closes the form, and then opens it back up and tries to enter financial data w/the same customer, it allows it.
???????
The first bug is more important than the second one, but any advice or ideas on either are EXTREMELY appreciated. thank you very much in advance.
this DB should transfer records from table to another table and vice versa, somehow i cannot make the other command button works. it took me a week to figure it out what is wrong with the code.
pls help me with my DB.
Somebody out there!
ill attached the DB if someone replies my request.
Hi all i'm really confused. I have tried to use the user-level security wizard to set my database security which works fine from my computer. However, when someone else logs into the database through my shared area where it is kept, they do not encounter any of my security settings that I set up for them. From this it looks to me that the security settings only apply when someone opens the database directly from my computer and not when they open it over the network from my shared area.
Could someone please explain to me why this is happening and offer a solution to it please. Your help will be greatly appriciated.
:confused: i am trying to develop a system which requires a date order to be used .. i want to use a filter query to filter out certain information from my tables into a form .. i know how to accomplish this but i am having a small problem getting there i wish to set sunday to an order of one (1) and monday to two (2) and so on so that when i create my query i will be able to select the thursday for example ( by setting the criteria to a "5" ) i have a table consisting of the dates but i am unsure how to create a field that displays the order .. automatically calculating whether the date is a sunday or a monday and assigning the correct number as stated above, i have tried something (not sure what) which assigned a 1 to monday through 7 to sunday but this is not the order i wish to use and it failed to work with my query anyway would this create this using my computers clock or something and if so what do i need to do to get this small part of my system up and running therefore enabling me to create my filter query please help thankyou :)
I'm designing an access system in which I have many reports (Primary Key is reportNumber) I need a form with a field in which I can speicify a range of reportNumber to print them.
example I need to print reports from 1000 to 2000
please note than I'm a beginner in this so I need detaild steps.
I have created a table of Some machines specifications.
Item Name Type location 1. Sieve156 Sieve 3rd floor 2. Rollermill1 Mill 1st floor .... ... ...
When inserting for example a new sieve machine I want database add automatically this machine between items 1. and 2. and assign the item number 3 to rollermill1. but this new record is added to the last row and its item number will be 3 but it should be 2. What shall I do for this problem? (in excel it is easily possible to add a row between two rows.. is it also possible in access?)
