Added A Table To My Query, Now My Query Will Not Let Me Update It.
May 2, 2007
Okay I have two tables in a query.
tblMain and tblStates
tblStates has a control number and a state name.
tblMain has the same control number as well as a bunch of customer info.
The query is simply tblMain.* and then the state name from tblStates.
It pulls the information correctly when I link the control number. However, I cannot update the information.
If it just has the tblMain table in the query then I can update everything. As soon as I add the tblStates I can't update anything, even if I don't link the two together. Can someone help me figure out what is going on?
The reason I have to have a seperate table is that this is for pulling a contracted state which can be different than the customers state, and the only way it is listed in our system is by number so it has to use this number as a reference and then pull up the state name.
Hello, I have created a form to enable data to be easily added to the database table, however does anybody know why the query that looks up the records from the table does not return the new entered records, only what was originally in the table? Thanks
Is it possible for a query to automatically get updated each time a table is added. For example I am looking at prices and each month a new table of information is added for that month and I use a query to view each month next to each other. Is there a way that each time I add a table the query will automatically update?
I have a database used to track my personal assignments, created about six years ago using Access 2003 on Windows XP. Recently upgraded to Access 2010 on Windows 7. At some point thereafter, I started having the following issue:
When a new record is created, that record gets added to the table, but doesn't show-up in any query, form, or report until after another new record has been added. The most recently added record cannot be located to view or update, except in the table, until after another new record has been added to the table. Queries, forms, & reports now always lag behind by one record.
None of the queries, forms, or reports tested contain filters. I have several multi-user databases that I also support and none of those users have reported having this problem. This is only happening on my personal database.
I've re-created this database once or twice in the past to resolve other issues, but would like to avoid that route this time around, if possible.
I am trying to automatically update one table to another each time a new record is added to my form, I have tried using the Update and the Append Query is there another way to do this without using code?
Is it possible to have the user select which field is added to the query through a parameter? In my query I have a table where each record has a part number and has sales number for each month. When the user runs the query I want them to be able to select which month is returned.
My table basically looks like this:
PartNumber,Jan,Feb,Mar,Apr,May etc. 01PartNumber,15,20,30,25,28 etc. 02PartNumber,12,14,12,16,20 etc
I want the user to enter "Mar" when prompted and return the parts numbers with values from "Mar".
Created a new Query (called qry_Temp) from and existing Query (qry_Test that has fields Field1 - Field5) using QueryDef , and inserted a new Field (FieldX) into it (see example below) using the .Parameters property, then opened a Recordset based on the new Query in order to attempt to enter data values into the new Field (FieldX) for each record in the query - but cannot assign any data values to this new Field (but can to the existing fields) in the new Query?
Dim DB As Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim qdfNew As QueryDef Dim strSQL1 As String Dim strSQL2 As String Dim Value1 As Integer
I created a database. exported some Excel data into Access tables, created a number of lookups, default values etc. and created a pretty simple query.
My problem is that after importing and tweaking the data, when I add new records, my queries do not pick them up! I have tried:
1. saving, closing, opening and re-running the queries. 2. putting an Nz expression for each field in the query as I read that null values may cause a problem. 3. wrote the query again, field by field to see if all records were received. 4. Exported the table back to Excel and imported to a new Access table in my database
I have a table (ANSWERS) that has the following fields: CASE_ID, E1, E2, E3, E4. The ANSWERS table is based on the CASE_ID's in the OBLIGATION TABLE and the CASE_ID field is the only field populated.
Then I have two other tables: OBLIGATIONS table and WAGE table and each has only one field, CASE_ID.
The WAGE table has only CASE_ID's where there is a wage assignment in place.
What I want to do is populate the E1 field in the ANSWERS table with YES for all the CASE_ID'S in the OBLIGATIONS table that that match the CASE_ID's in the WAGE table. Can someone tell me or show me how to do this?
Either I'm stupid or this is hard to explain...sorry.
I have what I think is a very simple solution but I can't figure it out..
I have a table that has jobdescription and currentbadgetype as two of the fields. I want to do this:
if jobdescription=ASD 1 then currentbadgetype=Civilian Badge...
table name is ID_DATA.. I have backed up my data but I don't know how to go about writing an sql statement or creating an update query. I would appreciate any help...
How to update a table from a query. I have a database that tracks overtime, if an employee calls in sick, he is unable to work overtime for 2 weeks. I have a freeze table that tracks the employee, the date they are frozen, to the date they are available to work again.
I would like a query that when ran, will look at the Available to work Again field and if the date they can work again matches todays date, it then edit the employee table turning the freeze field from Frozen (Yes), to Unfrozen (No).
I am using two table
tblemployee and
tblFrozenOvertime
the tblemployee has the overtime Frozen field

Hi there. Does anyone know how to use an update query to copy some records from one table into another? I have table1 which has all the contact details and what I would like to do is work out a process for importing records from an excel spreadsheet. What I have so far is as follows:
1. In access go into the queries tab and select update query 2. Open both table1 and table2 3. Drag the fields to be updated (table1) 4. In Update to select [table2].[table2 column name]
When i run this nothing appears to happen. 0 records are appended. Does anyone now how to go around this with another solution or should I be using other SQL methods?
Alright, i'm almost sure this isn't the best way of doing this,
But i wanna build a scoring system out of three criteria. cost, delivery, and qaulity. I have those tables built along with a contact table where there over all score will be tallied up. Each contact can have more than one entry in the criteria.
So what I did was i built a query to make a new table for each contact to generate the score and the contact id, then using that ID, i update it to the contact table using the UPDATE function...however wheni have 3 criteria, and 400 contacts..this obviously becomes painfully slow.
The question is, is there a way to directly pull the sql query results (summing the total of each contacts score for each criteria), then storing it into the contact table without making a new table in the process?
I would like to run a query and then be able to edit that information. I want the data I change to be put into the table the info was gathered from. Right now when I edit the query data it only saves it there, not on the other table. I tried to do the copy to table but the original table was going to be erased and then written over. What should I do? thanks
Could someone please try to give me a step by step method for using an append query to update a table. Gary gave me a ton of help before but im still a little stuck. Thanks in advance. :)
I have a table with two fields: ID and Date. The ID is set to autoincrement. How can I update a table with the next ID and date to current, each time a query is run.
I have 2 tables that hold similar data. In one table tblMultiSchedule I have a few blank columns. I want to update each column(ActualCost*) with the correct data which is stored in tblOrdersItems. the corresponding fields in each tbl are
I have created the tables I need for my Access Web App.I would like to create queries.I cannot update fields that show in the query (fields have a grey frame and cannot be edited) . I have even created a completely new app with only 1 table (no relationships whatsoever in case this may influence). It is still not possible to edit any field in a query (that would update the underlying table). Are there any general settings in Access I need to enable? Is there a setting in Sharepoint I need to enable?
I have an existing table that has calculations. When I added a new field with an default value of zero, it did not populate the existing records. Now my tables are not calculating. How can I update the existing records with the new default of zero.
I created an update query that says it has successfully updated 600 records, but when you go into the table, it has not been updated. I am working with an .mde. Does that make a difference?
I first created a select query to find everyone in TX. Then I changed it to an update query to change all TX to CA. Since it did not update the table, I tried running the update query again and this time it says there are not records to update (since it uppposedly updated my 600 records).
