Access VBA - Crosstab Tables Into Forms / Deleting Blanks
Aug 1, 2013
I have a crosstab table that is displaying in a form within a form because the form has data coming from multiple tables.
Crosstab Query looks like
Name Sum Cust1 Cust2 Cust3.....
Jon 50 250
Bill 100 50 100
Kevin 200 50 100
Ryan 10 500
The issue are the blanks in the rows for each Name. When I bring it up on the form, I want the columns to be the Customers but only customers with amounts. The original form is there to show the name and position and the form within the form should have 1 row for name of the person that is being selected and columns of customers WITH A BALANCE.
I have a back-end database which imports a spreadsheet which is automated. Every-time the spreadsheet is imported a large amount of blanks appear above the information i require.
Is there away i can automatically stop this from happening?
I have a list box on a form which uses the following SQL to pull the list items from a table :
SELECT DISTINCT tblMyTable.MyField FROM tblMyTable ORDER BY tblMyTable.MyField;
For some reason, during testing, the first two items on the list are blanks. I am quite happy for one blank to be returned at the top of the list (as this would easily identify for the user any records for which this field has not yet been completed, which is a good thing) but I can't understand why it would appear twice?
Why doesn't the DISTINCT command ensure any blank entries only appear once?
Incidentally, I have a subform which populates on the back of selections from the list boxes, so I can quickly see the corresponding records which generate these blanks. What's puzzling me is that the same records show for both blanks on the list - suggesting it is the same value repeating itself (and not, say, "" vs " ", for example, which was what I originally suspected...)
I have two tables "Master List" and "Audit". I want to delete the records from the "Master" that match those in the "Audit". I am using Access 2010 and have used it often but have built very few queries.
:confused: I am Developing a simple VBA program for Access for my final year of my Degree and I have come up with a problem that I don’t seem to be able to fix.
Hi i have a lot of linked table that i want to delete I have the macro below that deletes one at a time but i have to put in the name is there a way to delete all the ones that end in _cfd_posting as before this name there is a six digit number but these r all different is this possible
Sub delete() DoCmd.DeleteObject acTable, "060204_cfd_postings" End Sub
In my program you are allowed to make backups of the current databases to an external file. It also allowes you to get the tables back from one of those files. At least it should.
I thought this wouldn't be a biggy. I thought I'd just delete my current tables and replace them with "docmd.tranferdatabase" acImport.
But the stupid thing wont let me delete its tables because they are connected to each other. Can I somehow delete the link before deleting them?
If so will the links be there again once I restore the tables from the backup? Or do I need to reconnect them somehow to each other.
Or maybe another approach would be to import them without deleting the original ones. Thus the new ones get the same name of the original ones + "1" or something. Than I delete all records from all my original tables. And refill them with all the records from the new ones (the + "1"-ones) And delete the new ones. And if I would do that, would it be best to use AcImport or AcLink (from docmd.tranferdatabse)
I was wondering if there is a way in selecting all tables and deleting at one go instead of selecting one by one. Perhaps a little bit of programming. Tx in adv
I am trying to make a database for a shop which can do several things:
1) I want to give in what is being bought by the shop to make their products form. This has to be saved in a table named STOCK.
2) I want to be able if I say in a form that from these things I made that product that these things dissapear from the STOCK table and that the final product is added to the STOCK.
3) If the final product is solled I want to remove it from stock.
In the end if I want to see what is still in the stock I will only have the things that are still there because the rest is removed.
Having searched the last couple of days, I am unable to find a resolution to this problem. If it has been answered already, a simply link or thread name would be appreciated. If not, help is greatly appreciated.
I have code running that imports data from a .txt file into a table.however, on some days there will be errors importing some of the data. I have found that from the last three months, there has been no data of consequence lost so, I don't care about the data errors. However, any time there is an error with the import it creates a table that is named for example:
01-03-05 Auth_ImportErrors
where "01-03-05 Auth" is the name of the file imported. So each time they import a file, a new table is created. Is there any code that I can run that can automatically delete these tables upon exit?
I routinely import from an Excel document provided by a third party. Most data in it is ok, but 10-15 records always end up in the import error tables which Access creates automatically when formats do not match. I am trying to automate this whole process thru VBA and am pretty successful so far, except that I haven't figured out how to programatically get rid of these tables (I do not need them, and data imports anyway). Is there a way to destroy a table programatically in Access?
i have a data base with a primary key but some records have been added from a excel data base and now the data base has duplicate records with different primary keys. I do a Query looking for duplicate records based on a field not the the primary key. There are 315 out of 22000. I can sort the table and then manually delete the dups. The Query does not allow deleting records so finding the culprits in the full Data base is time consuming. How can i delete the duplicate records using a query? Is this function available hidden someplace in the guts of Access? Seems like this would be a frequent problem. The Microsoft forum addresses this problem and the only viable solution is the manual method, when they get to the Query method it looks like they just forgot what the subject was and tell you how to delete one record if you know what the criteria is. If two non Key fields are Identical then i want to delete one of the records.
I'm running MS Access 2007. I'm creating an import procedure (for 2003 and 2007) that will automatically import an EXCEL file into a table for MS Access 2003 and 2007. The automatic import procedure works fine, but everytime the procedure is ran it creates an 'ImportError' table, due to blank rows (i.e. 'Type Conversion Failure'). The blank rows are due to the source EXCEL file not having value in a cells. This is normal for the source EXCEL file. These 'ImportError' tables are numbered each time this procedure is ran. I added a 'DoCmd' (see below for statement) statement in the procedure delete these tables, The below statements are used in a loop. I see that there are several procedures out there that use 'DAO' to accomplish this. If possible, I would like to use something that will use the below 'DoCmd' statements. This will eliminate the need to touch each PC to set 'ADO' or 'DAO' on.
My table (excel spreadsheet) sits on another directory from the DB. If I delete the table on this directory and immediately replace it with a table with the same filename, format, etc (only the data has changed) will each database user have to relink the table on their desktop DB? Or will the forms/subforms/reports still maintain their relationships/functions and just display the new data?
I have a number of linked tables that vary depending on use. How to delete them or drop them all from the database? I produced/stole some code that deleted all tables - but it didn't delete the linked ones.
I have a query of people and their position, I did a crosstab query and now I have numerical data. How so I get it to show me the data when I click on the number?
in these 3 columns i have different values and in two fo these columns there are blanks. I want to search for this blanks and fill them in with a static value. But only the two columns. How can i do this? Update Queries?
New problem each day! Ha. Ok I have a crosstab query with data in monthly columns for various accounts. For some accounts there is data in jan and march but not feb. Is there a way to get these blanks to be 0 without manually adding them? Thank you!!
I have been trying to create a database that looks after staff holidays.
Here's how it looks at present
TBL_Holidays:
Staff_Index Staff_Name (From a lookup) Start_Date Number_of_days
TBL_Holidays_Booked:
Staff_Name Dates_Booked
Once the form (FRM_Holidays) is filled out I had (until I gave up and decided to ask for help - 2 weeks) a button that went off and run a append query.
Here's my problem. Once the button is pressed I need the TBL_Holidays_Booked to fill with the Dates_Booked.
ie.
John Smith wants his holiday to start on the 1st August for 10 days.
The resulting TBL_Holidays_Booked would look like the following:
John Smith 01/08/06 John Smith 02/08/06 John Smith 03/08/06 .. John Smith 10/08/06
Is there a way to do this? or is there a simplier way of doing it?
creating mailing labels starting with an Excel Workbook imported into Access. When I get to the point of previewing the labels, there seem to be maybe 10 blank labels. I don't have a clue how this could happen but I obviously don't want to waste the ten or so labels (out of about 90 total). setting the print area and removing empty Worksheets, but nothing works.
