Adding New Column(s) To A Table

Oct 6, 2013

Assignment : Add two new columns to a copy of the departments table, sec0611_departments. One new column, a text column, will be the name of the manager department. The other new column, a numeric column, is for the annual budget of the department.

As of right now I know how to start the code, which (if not mistaken) should look like;

alter table sec0611_departments
add column ' ______ '
add column ' ______ ';

My question is, what value do I insert in place of "name of the manager" (ex. manager_id, first_name?) and same goes for the numeric column. Price? credit_limit? budget?

Forms :: Cascading Combobox - Adding Column To Table?

Aug 4, 2014

I have a form with two cascading comboboxes where the first selection is the alphabet and the second selection is a person's name. (the alphabet is a coding system but not assigned based on a person's name) I used one table based on example 2 of this website: fontstuff. com/access/acctut10.htm

What I want to do is add columns to the table such as organization, purpose, etc. then have them in the form as textboxes that update as soon as the second combo box is selected. Is this possible with just one table or do I need to go a different route?

Populating A Column In A Table Based On Values In An Existing Column

Mar 5, 2007

Hi all,

In the organisation that I work for employees get paid every 2 weeks on a Saturday. So for this financial year the pay period end dates have been 08/07/2006, 22/07/2006, 05/08/2006 etc


I have a column in an Access table listing various dates. I want the next column to be
populated with the next pay period end date after that date.

So if DATE is 05/07/2006 I want PAY PERIOD END to be 08/07/2006
and if DATE is 09/07/2006 I want PAY PERIOD END to be 22/07/2006 etc

How do I do this?

Kind Regards,

Matthew

Queries :: Adding Values To Present Column

Jul 4, 2013

I use the output of a query (qryTally) to set as my values to a table (tblOrderCountDaily) which sets all the count of a product ordered during a cmdbutton was clicked. If cutoff wasnt clicked for that day, it would create a new field setting the field name as the date. Now, if i click again the the cutoff button, it would check again if the field exists, if yes, i would add the value to the previous value.

Code:
Private Sub CutOff_Click()
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim tbl As DAO.Recordset
Dim strSQL As String
Dim CheckOut As String

[code]...

Adding Values In Separate Columns Dependent On Text In Another Column?

May 16, 2013

I'm trying to make a database to track inventory or several items. Basically, I have four tables:

1) RawMaterialList - includes a list of all raw materials.
2) PartList - includes a list of all finished product using said raw materials.
3) RawMaterialRecieving - contains details from each packing slip of incoming raw materials.
4) ShipmentRecord - contains details of daily shipments.

Each of these tables is fed by a form of the same name. I should note at this point that I basically taught myself how to use Access and I imagine I'm in the dark about quite a few things it can do. I've made several databases over the last few years, but I'm stumped at this point.

Here's my problem. In the form RawMaterialReceiving, I have several fields aside from basic information:

1) Item - a list of of raw materials from table RawMaterialList
2) Description - also dependent on info entered into table RawMaterialList
3) Quantity

But, I have 12 of these instances.

Item1, Item2...Item12;
Description1, Description2...Description12;
Quantity1, Quantity2...Quantity12.

My problem is I want to add up the quantities of each raw material and I'm not sure how to go about that. Lets say on May 13, I received 15pcs of Part A and 20pcs of Part B. I enter this information as Item1 and Item2 respectively. On May 14, I received 30pcs of Part B. I enter this information under Item1. Now I want to add up all of Part B (50 pcs). But Part B has one value listed in the field Quantity1 and one value listed in the field Quantity2.

Example:

1st Entry:
May 13
Item1 = PartA Description1 = PartA's description Quantity1 = 15
Item2 = PartB Description2 = PartB's description Quantity2 = 20

2nd Entry:
May 14
Item1 = PartB Description1 = PartB's description Quantity1 = 30

How do I get it to add up Part B to get 50pcs?

Forms :: Adding Value Of Combobox To Hidden Column When User Enters A New Record

Aug 14, 2013

I'm very new to access so I'm not sure about the correct way to go about this. I have a table with a 'category' column, a form which hides the category column, and a combobox to filter the category, let's say R, C, and F.

What I want accomplish is to have the value of the comobox applied to the hidden 'category' column when a user enters a new record into the form.

Is there I way I can get an instance to the record as it's being entered and modify the data using VB? Or would I have to write a sort of pop() function and have it run afterInsert and then modify it that way? Can I even alter the table using VB like this?

Modules & VBA :: Update Column In Table Based On Another Table

Apr 24, 2015

I'm trying to use VBA to update a new column in a table with info I already have in another table.The table I want to update is an inventory details table, it has around 25,000 records. I added a column called "UnitCost", of course the column is empty for all 25,000 records so I would like to fill it easily using DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE" feature.

I use that through-out the program however I'm unable to connect the dots for this one.What it needs to do is update "UnitCost" in "InventoryDetails" from "Products" where "InventoryDetails.ProductNumber" = "Products.ProductNumber"

The "Products" table has all the different unit cost, it just need to be placed in the "InventoryDetails" table for every record. Of course product1 needs products1 unit cost and product2 needs products2 unit cost, etc.

How To Copy A Column From One Table And Insert It Into Another Table In The Same Db

Feb 3, 2006

How to copy a column from one table and insert it into another table in the same database

Hi, All,

I have two tables (old and new) sitting in the same database. The new table is the result of 'data cleansing' done by an external company. In the process (export and import via excel) two memo type colums in the table were truncated in excel.

To make the new table usable, I must therefore now copy/insert the two memo columns from the old table into the new table.

Both tables are already Access tables and sit in the same database. Both tables, of course, have the same number of rows.

I tried to high-light one column in the old table, clicked copy, then high-lighted a blank column in the target table, then clicked Paste, but got error msg: "This text is too long for this field. Try copying a shorter text", as if I had wanted to copy the whole column into one cell rather than one column into another column of equal length.

What is the best way to proceed?

Thanks for your help.

Adrian

Adding New Records To Table Based On Values In Another Table?

Aug 19, 2015

I'm developing a database for the hospital I work in. One purpose of this is to keep track of patients with temporary invasive devices (there are many types such as urinary catheters, ventilators, etc.), specifically how many days each patient has a device for. Each device is associated with one patient only, but one patient may have many devices. Here's how the associated tables are set up:

1. tblPatients - PatientID (PK), LastName, FirstName, DOB,...
2. tblLocations - LocationID (PK), LocationLabel,....
3. tblDevices - DeviceID (PK), DeviceType, Device, DeviceDesc
4. tblDeviceUse - DeviceUseID (PK), DeviceID (FK), PatientID (FK), LocationID (FK) (where in the hospital was device inserted, e.g., operating room, bedside, etc.), DeviceStartDate, DeviceEndDate
5. tblDeviceDailyLog - DeviceLogID (PK), DeviceUseID (FK), DeviceDate, PatientLocID (FK) (area in the hospital that patient is in)

All primary keys except for PatientID & LocationID are Autonumbers; and the tables are linked appropriately.

Whenever an entry is made into tblDeviceUse, I want there to be new records to be automatically generated in tblDeviceDailyLog for each date between the Start and End Dates. For example, patient A123 had a urinary catheter from 1/1/2000 to 1/10/2000 that was inserted while the patient was in the ICU, but the patient was moved to the Medical Ward on 1/7/2000. So tblDeviceDailyLog should have 10 new records associated with this device, one for each calendar day, with the appropriate location for each day.

Adding Rows From A Similar Table To Preexisting Table

Sep 19, 2013

I'd like to learn how to do them quickly and effectively in Access. One of those things seems like it would be an incredibly simple, intuitive operation, but it's not, at least not to me.Say I have some data that really should only be on one table, but it's currently on two tables in Access: "List Main" and "List September Adds." They both have the following fields: "Full Name" "Email" "Address" "City" "State" "ZIP" "Phone."

The first table is my main list of contacts. The second contains new info, consisting of 1. a few new contacts, and 2. updated info for a few of the contacts already in table "List Main."

I would simply like to put all the new contacts from "List September Adds" into my "List Main" table, and I'd also like to fill in a few missing e-mails in "List Main" with newly gathered e-mails for those contacts, info that is in my table "List September Adds."I'm sure there is built-in functionality to do something as basic as essentially turning two pages of the same spreadsheet into one. In fact, I know I could import data from an Excel file and have it "append" to a preexisting table if the fields are all the same.

However, I'd like to know how to do it when the tables are already in Access (without having to learn any SQL, mostly because I'm fairly certain I don't need to know SQL to do something like this). I've heard of Append and Update Queries and given their names, it sounds like they'd be useful, maybe with use of "Totals" and "Group By" to get rid of duplicates; however, I can't seem to get any of this to work right.

Mostly, when I think I am doing an Append correctly, it doesn't add new data at the bottom of a table; it just wipes out all the data that was there, and replaces it with data from the source. For instance, when I've been running an Append Query to get my "List September Adds" rows into my "Main List" table, what I end up with is only the "List September Adds" rows, and all the "Main List" rows gone.

Can I Add A Column To A Table And Give It A Name Using VBA?

Feb 22, 2008

Hi all

I am currently building a holiday planner for my employers and I would like to try and display the days of the year as rows and the staff as columns (Fields). When someone adds a new member of staff, I would like it to also add them to the calendar table as a new column and name the column the same as the individuals name. Is this possible using VBA or SQL string?

If anyone has a better idea as to how I can display the forthcoming holidays for a team I would really appreciate your comments.

Thanks
