First time user!!!
I work for the school dist. and we have 2 tables for 2 different groups.
I need to pull data from them both and create a new Query.
Example
Table 1:
Name, address, phone
Table 2:
Name, address, phone
(No similarities in ether database, and we'd like to NOT export data)
I'm hoping it's an easy fix that I've overlooked.

Hi, I am new here and need some help with MS Access97. I am looking for a more convenient way to join tables together. The usual way that I know is to drag the field(s) in one table and drop it in the other table (within the relationship window).
Is there any other way that I can do the same without drag and drop (keyboard instead of mouse)? This is real problem to me when I need to do some modification and have lots of tables scatter across few pages and the vertical scroll of the Relationship window is not working properly with drag & drop technique.
Please help. Many thanks! :)
And then called this join as a symbol or variable, and then have it use to select the items from these joined tables, can this be done in Access? Here is an example of a code that I created, but it has an error message saying the FROM syntax is incorrect.
Code:
SELECT firstJOIN.trainID, firstJOIN.trainName, firstJOIN.stationID, firstJOIN.stationName, firstJOIN.distance_miles, firstJOIN.time_mins
FROM (trains INNER JOIN ((station INNER JOIN lineStation ON station.stationID = lineStation.stationID)
INNER JOIN bookingLeg ON bookingLeg.startID = station.stationID or bookingLeg.endID = station.stationID )
ON trains.trainID = bookingLeg.tid) as firstJOIN
Can Access do something similar to this, in the FROM statement I joined 4 tables, because each unique fields are in each table and I have to joined them to get those fields. I called this join firstJOIN and in the SELECT statement, I list those columns in the table by calling it firstJOIN.trainID. Can Access do something like this, but syntax it differently?
I have created two table in my database listed below
tblEmployee
EmployeeID{Primary Key, Auto Number}
FirstName
LastName
PositionTitle
tblWorkHistory
EmployeeID {Foreign Primary Key}
Organization {Primary Key}
Position
StartDate
EndDate
I am creating a one to many relationship with the tblEmployee EmployeeID and tblWorkHistory EmployeeID
because one Employee can have many past jobs
where I run in a cloud is that in access under the edit relationship dialog window it has an button called JOIN TYPE when I click on that button it open the Join Properties dialog window and presents me with three options
1. Only include rows where the joined fields from both tables are equal
2. Include all recoreds from the 'tblEmployee' and only those records from 'tblWorkHistory' where the joined fields are equal
3. Include all records from 'tblWorkHistory' and only those records from 'tblEmployee' where the joined fields are equal
Can someone explain what access is trying to ask me as it pertains to my example. I am new to access to a basic answer would help me with future relationship issues and a better understand of the concept
Thanks
I have two tables of data, each relating to three business branches (branches A, B and C).
Table 1 shows the expenditure of each branch (by fuel, premises and wages).
Table 2 shows a number of units for each branch (mileage, floorspace and sales).
What I would like to do is calculate unit costs, based on the expenditure in Table 1, divided by a relevant unit in Table 2. The catch is that I want to have a third table which allows the user to specify which expenditure (from Table 1) is combined with which unit (from Table 2) to generate the calculated unit costs. I've been able to do this in Excel, and have attached an example. I've also attached an incomplete Access version with the first two tables. Given the complexity of my actual data, I feel this could be better handled in Access than Excel.
I have 3 tables.
Table 1: contains staff names and contact numbers
Table 2: contains training above staff have been on or need to go on
Table 3: contains pc and printer asset numbers of above staff
I used a form and entered some new members of staff in table 1. They got their auto numbers etc but when I open table 2 and table 3 those new members are not showing up in those tables. I have checked the relationship status between the 3 tables and the staffID from Table 1 is associated to table 2 and to table 3.
What's stopping the new entries from showing up in tables 2 and 3 ?
I am about to set up a database but wanted to check the relationship of the main tables before I add to it. I have attached the relationship design
For a PROJECT, there can be many TESTS, for a TEST, there can be many PRODUCTS
Is my design reasonably sensible?
Okay - the other database is in the works and is going sloooow (the one that is being created with normalization).
Meanwhile, my other database that has no normalization I am having a problem running a query (now I know why its so important to have good structure).
To give you an idea on how bad this is...:o .....
3 tables - 94 fields to each table - each table has identicle fields, just different data. :eek:
Anyways, I have students in each table (each table is an Annual Report). I want to be able to run a simple query and combine all the students into one.
How would I achieve this?
Thank you!
And for all who are thinking about designing a database - READ READ READ and do some more reading on normalization!!!
helooo...
i have 3 tables -Recipes, Ingredients and Products.
Recipes table:
RecipeID -PK
Ingredients table:
IngredientID -PK
IngreRecipeID -Foreign key to Recipes table
IngreProductID -Foreign key to Products table
Table:
ProductID -PK
how do i join them into 1 recordset? :confused:
HELP!!! :confused: I do have a 5 tables 4 tables do have a foreign key of the main table. I join the 4 tables with the main table but when I am editing the information I cannot edit it. and no error appears. so I am just wondering what happen with my joined tables? please help me!!!!Thank you in advance
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow do I join two tables. I have a table and a lookup table. My table has products on there that are listed as custom or basic. I have a look up table that has an ID for basic and Custom. In my table, i want it to read what the id is for each product instead of it reading "basic" or custom. Someone said that I need to join the two tables and do an update query, but I don't understand how to.

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
with VBA Programming and the outrageous errors,
Or to take up arms against a sea of Access troubles.
Sorry I was in the mood for Shakespeare.
A quick summary first:
In the attached file I have my Relationships. One main table, Workorders with various one-to-many relationships back to their respective tables. If you look at the attachment and see a field with 'wrk' that's my foreign key.
What I'm trying to do is this:
Where-ever there is a 'wrk' field I want to add in all the fields (minus the ID Primary Key) into the main Workorders Form.
Then on the form itself I should just be able to enter in the data that is required for the fields.
So here's what I'm thinking for the coding is to Join the various tables to thlet me know if I'm on track or not. I'll start with a small one, because if I can get that right, the rest should be simple.
SELECT Model.ComputerID, Make.ComputerID
FROM Computer
INNER JOIN wrkComputerID ON Model.ComputerID = Make.ComputerID;
Hi,
I've got three tables:
tblEvent
--------
Id (PK) | Event_Name
tblDelegate
--------
Id (PK) | Delegate_Name
tblBooking
--------
Id (PK) | Event_Id (FK) | Delegate_Id (FK)
I need to retrieve a recordset with the following information:
Booking Id | Event_Name | Delegate_Name
Can anyone see how to do a SELECT statement to do this?
ANy help would be great, thanks!
Hi,
I have the following four tables:
tblGroup:
Group_Id (PK) | Group_Name
tblSubGroup:
SubGroup_Id (PK) | Group_Id (FK) | SubGroup_Name
tblProductType:
ProductType_Id (PK) | SubGroup_Id (FK) | ProductType_Name
tblProduct:
Product_Id (PK) | ProductType_Id (FK) | Product_Name
I need to select a single Product_Name (first one which appear alphabetically) from tblProducts given a Group_Id.
Is this possible? Presumably I need to join the tables in between?
If anyone can help with this it would be much appreciated, thanks...
there must be a way to do this, but i haven't been able to figure it out yet...
table one has three fields i need to be concerned with, member_ID, range_start, and range_end. no part of any range spanning range_start through range_end will be duplicated.
table two has several fields i need, but the field of primary concern is a person_ID that will fall somewhere within a range designated in the first table.
how in the world can i join these tables, since none of the IDs in the second table are actually listed in the first, but fall in between values?
i need to get member_ID from table one, person_ID and several other fields from table two.
any ideas?
thanks for any help,
john

how do you join two tables?
help plz. thank you!
What is the purpose or the advantage to doing more than one join between two tables? How many joins can you have between two tables?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi there
I am hoping someone can give me a few pointers on how to get started on what I am trying to achieve....
I have 2 tables that form a 1 - to - many relationship.
I have designed a form that I wish to show fields from both tables.
Using ADO I would like to be able to open the form and be able to see my desired fields in the same form.
Can anyone provide any ideas on where I can get started.
Thanks for your help!!
Hi there
I have made a form I am trying to bound 3 tables to.
The 3 tables are
tblPersonalInfo
tblBookingInfo
tblSkills
How I am trying to set it up is that I enter someones personal details in once. But using the same personal details someone can have more then one booking.
With the skills....each person can have lots of different skills.
Basically I work for a recruitment agency and I have been asked to build a database that can add new people.add skills to that person.....then add different jobs to the same person.
I have made 3 tables
tblPersonalInfo
PersonalID
chrForename
chrSurname
dtmDOB
chrEmail
tblBookingInfo
BookingID
chrJobTitle
curPayRate
PersonalID
SkillsID
tblSkills
SkillsID
Skills
I have joined all tables togeather (I think wrong but trying) the tblbookinginfo is joined to tblbooking using a 1 - Many relationship using the primary key of tblPersonalInfo to the field PersonalID in the table tblBookingInfo
I have joined tblSkills to the table tblbookingID through SkillsID
I created a query using all 3 tables and have used this to bound the form....
The form contains 3 pages and the 1st page works ok (it only contains info from the tblPersonalInfo) the 2 other pages don't seem to work as I want them to.
I would like to be able to click to add a new person and also new booking and new skills
Currently I am able to add new personal details but nothing else.
Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?
Thanks for taking the time to read this
Have some problems with a Purchase Order (PO) System I'm trying to do.
Figure 1 is the PO entry form. The upper part of the form shows the Header, while the bottom part shows the Line, containing all the ordered item details.
I separated the information keyed in into 2 tables, namely Header table (Figure 2) and Line table (Figure 3). The header table shows only the header details. With the order ID, the header is linked to the Line table where all the ordered items detail can be found.
I want to join the 2 tables and put the data into a new table, which will later be exported to text/spreadsheet for other purposes. I know it can be done using the make-table query. But my concern is about the layout/format of the table.
I would want to put my data where there's one header row followed by the corresponding line rows. Then another new header row with its line rows. I'll give an example:
H XXX XXXXXXXX XX X
L XXXXX XXX XX
L XXXXX XXX XX
L XXXXX XXX XX
H XXX XXXXXXXX XX X
L XXXXX XXX XX
L XXXXX XXX XX
L XXXXX XXX XX
L XXXXX XXX XX
Note that not all the fields for Header row and Line rows are the same. So can I put different data into the same column?
Would appreciate it if anyone could solve my problems. Thanks. ;)
Hi,
I have an unbound form that is based on a query. On the Load-event I have populated textboxes with the underlying records (it works fine).
The underlying query is based on 2 tables that are joined on (PrimaryKey) Table1.ID = Table2.ID (ForeignKey).
The Form has one Add-CmdButton. When the user will click the Add-button the content of the textbox will get added or saved in the underlying database.
I want to know the SQL to add, so that I can write the code behind on the Click-event of the button.
I know on how to add records with a single table (writing code behind), however, I want to know on how to do when it comes with joined tables (INSERT SQL statement ?).
Thanks and regards,
Prodigy.
I would like to join two tables with one query. Here is the twist though.
The first table would have a set of value like so:
0
50
100
300
500
750
1200
1500
the second table would have values as such
0
1000
1300
1500
1750
by just setting up the relationship to show all values from the sirt table and only those from the second table that match I get a list of values that will not work for me. What I would like to reflect
in the query is all the values from the first table and if there is for instance no value of 500 in the second table I would like to return 1000. For instance there is a zero in each table so that would be output twice. There is however no value of 50 in the second table so the query would read 50 and null or blank when I would like it to read 50 and 1000 (The next value higher).
We have a huge Database (relative huge ). Because of that I had to split the database on multiple tables to not lose performance. The main seperation is for every year and Terminal so I have now 6 tables with the same data and structure. Its making maintaining, changes and coding realy hard
Tables:
tbl_DL_Salzburg_2012
tbl_DL_Salzburg_2013
tbl_DL_Munchen_2012
tbl_DL_Munchen_2013
tbl_DL_Ulm_2012
tbl_DL_Ulm_2013
At the end of every year we have more than 10 000 records in each table.
The second Problem for joining the tables is that i have to filter them on Terminal (Salzburg, Munchen, Ulm) and on Year (2012, 2013, 2014). The Form I use on that table is a split form (reason is the fast filtering and searching in the datashed).
The first problem with the large amount of records i can solwe with an sql server but there is still the problem with the filtering
I tryed to use the form RecordSource and an SQL statement but in that case (depends how the SQL is struktured and the RecordSource is used) the users cant add or delete records in the table. It shows them that the record is added or deletet but when they leav the form they are all gone
P.S. It's an multiuser database. Making things more complicated
How to solve this second problem with filtering and not disturbing adding and deleting records.
I know that splitforms are not good but the users don't want to use something other that also takes me away the solution with unbound forms
I would like to move to one table until the end of the year. If not I have to handle 9 same tables.
I've only just started using Access 2007 at my new job. I've been asked to create a database that will show appointments for all 10 of the employees. I have created a table for the main schedule (where ill put all the data) then one for each of the employees. I've managed to link the tables no problem but it wont let me create and updating relationship. It keeps saying "no unique index found for the referenced field of the primary table". How do I fix this?
I want it to automatically update the date, time, location, customer name and description, if its changed on the main schedule for a certain appointment on the corresponding employees schedule.
I created two tables, but i don't know what kind of relationship i should create.
In the first table, i would like to put all different tests (medical tests, such as EMG test, and so on), in the second table, i want to add the settingup for each test, say, recording site, stimulating site et.al, then i want to use one form to populate data into these two tables, what should i do?
