Adding New Information To Two Tables At Once
Aug 9, 2007
Hello -
I am new with Access and fear that this might be a very elementary question - apologies. Basically, I would like to create a few different tables that all have the same base information (like the primary key and name of the data), but different additional information. The only thing that I can't seem to figure out is how to be able to add a new entry to one table and have it show it up in the other tables. Is this possible? Thank you!

Hello,
I wasn't sure which area to post this question in...since it involves queries, tables, and forms :)
There is a read-only table in my company's data warehouse that stores a lot of records. I wish to set up a form that will allow users to add or relate data (fields) to each of those records.
Updating the data warehouse table structure is not an option.
How can I best do this...
1. set up my own table somewhere, that will automatically append any new data warehouse records every night, so basically I'll always have a copy of the DW table, but with additional fields that can be updated?
2. set up another table/query that are linked to the DW table via unique identifier...but if I do this, how do I display the DW records alongside the new fields in a way that makes sense? another query? will I be able to write in data in this fashion?
3. ...some other way?
Any assistance will be very much appreciated!

I've got a form that has certain information and I would like to be capable of clicking on a button entitled "add a client". When that button is pressed I would like another form to open and provide a search query asking for the client's name. When I hit okay I want a list of clients to be viewed based on a partial search. Once I have found the one I want I want to be able to click/do something to get me back to the original form. At this time, all the client information all will be put on the form and introduced to that particular table row.
If you have any questions regarding what I just said please ask.
Thanks in advance,
-- Mike

I have a database where on the form we are just put in total deductions. We want to make sure that the total deductions is correct so while we are entering this number we want to do an excel thing by hitting = 1 + 1. Anytime we do that we are getting an error message. I really didn't want to have to set up a table to store these different amounts because we really only need the total. Is there a way to do that? I changed the format from currency to general but I'm still getting the error.

I have a popup form that prompts for a value and has a button defined with an OnClick,OpenReport with a WHERE clause. The value the user enters is placed in the WHERE clause.
The report is generated using a Query and the WHERE clause.
I was very surprised -- it works!
Now I'd like to add a chart to the report that represents the information on the report. How can I do this without calling the query again? Can I somehow reference the information that's in the report?

Hi ppl,
Anyone who thinks that they may be able to help me, there is a copy of the database at :
http://members.iinet.net.au/~a.beardsley/database/StaffProLearning.mdb
Here is my problem, as you will see. In the from called frmStaff, I have created 2 lookup tables that work fine in the main form. In the subform under activites though, I have attempted to create a lookup form for Name and Location of activities. It does not appear to be storing the information from previous entries though. My aim is so that when someone goes to enter a new activity name or location, the data will be saved and be in the list for the lookup next time with a different entry, however, it does not appear to be storing the information in the appropriate table. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Regards,
sugar05

I am creating my first database and I'm a beginner. I have a table called customers and another table that has customer and product information. What I would like to do is when a new record for my product is entered it also enters the customer information on another table. I have repeat customers though, so I only want it to enter it once. Right now, I have to enter the customer info separately. Customer table contains: Customer ID, first, last, Phone. My product table also has this same info. Is this possible? To enter info on a product form and the selected info be copied into another table at the same time only once.
Please help.

Hi,
I am getting information on products stored in a query. I want that query to check a couple tables to see if an item is linked through all of them. If it is not listed in the last table (catalog) I want it to be shown.
Code:Catalog tableVolume Prefixprodno Price15 - CE 0218 9.9915 - CE 0722 3.7215 - CF 0218 12.3615 - CF 0091 14.00Source TableSource MediaCM70904 15 - CE
Code:Batches QueryCustomer Number Prefixprodno Source716933 0218 CM70904716933 0408 CM70904
This is the Select Statement I'm using, which gets the 0218 but not the 0408 I want
Code:SELECT (fieldnames......)FROM [Batches] INNER JOIN ([Source] INNER JOIN [Catalog] ON [Source].[Media] = [Catalog].Volume) ON ([Batches].Source = [Source].[Source]) AND ([Batches].Prefixprodno IN ([Catalog].Prefixprodno))WHERE [Batches].[Customer Number]=716933;
If I do NOT IN I get both 0218 and 0408. I just want 0408. I'm sorry if this seems confusing but any help would be amazing at this point =/

In the scheme below, I want to fetch all the info in Table3 for all the Tiers that has the AppID in Table2. There could be more than 1 Tier using the AppID. I don't know if I'm clear though.
Code:
Table1 Table2 Table3
AppID (PK) _ AutoNb (PK) AutoNB
Name Tier (FK) ---_ Name
- AppID (FK) \_ Tier (PK)
Here's my failing attempt...
Code:
SELECT Table3.*
FROM Table3
WHERE Table3.Tier = (SELECT AppID
FROM Table1
WHERE Table1.AppID = 2002);

I am brand new to building a database.What I want is a database to store Quote, Job and Invoicing information. We receive quotes first and then they can, but don't always, turn into jobs. We can also receive a job without quoting it. We currently have two spreadsheets. One is for Quotes and the other is for Jobs.
QUOTES INFORMATION
Quote #
Date
Customer Name
Part #
Part Name
Quote Due Date
Qty
Lead Time
Price
Unit
JOBS INFORMATION
Job #
Qty
Quote #
Customer Name
PO#
Part #
Part Name
Est Hours
Start Date
Due Date
Price
As you can see a lot of the information in the Quote spreadsheet is also used in the Job spreadsheet. (Bold represents duplicated items) We currently type the information into each spreadsheet.
Then there are different forms that are filled out for quotes and jobs that contain the information in the spreadsheets.Is there a way that I can have the QUOTE Table automatically populate the JOB Table information?

I have an historical database table that contains information relating to soldiers. Additionally I have many photographs, and other documents appertaining to these individual soldiers stored in folders on my PC hard drive and I would like ideally, to be able to have a link from my database to these other items, so that when I open a a soldiers record I am able to click on a link that will take me to a folder containing the photographs, letters and further documents relating to him.
However this is where I am at a loss as to how to proceed, and how I could have this facility, I run Access 2007 by the way.

I essentially created an account since I can't seem to find a straightforward answer much anywhere else (plenty of hints on auto-filling forms- but that isn't particularly conducive to my specific need on this).
I've attached a blank copy of my database.
The immediate concern I'm having is that I want to be able to autofill data in the invoice table based on the customer table and the products/service table.
*I want to be able to select a first name [or other primary key if necessary] to fill in the last name, company, address, city/state/zip, phone, fax, cell/alt phone, and email automatically... that is without multiple dropdown selections or input to those sections at all.
*I want prices to fill in to the 'cost of product/service X' so that I may use it for other calculations in the invoice table- as well as to make forms from it directly.

I have created two tables. One table list of 100 Categories that I monitor each month. The Categories are never changing month-to month, however, each might be associated with a different client month-to-month. Presently, I am manually typing in the Client information month-to-month with information pulled from the Client's table. The Client's table has a Category Field which is populated when a Client has purchased space to use it.
In essence, I have the Category Table (Fields: Record Number; CategoryName; Client Name; beginning date the client will use the Category and Ending Date the client will stop using it). The Client's Table has a lot more fields/information but it still has the same fields as the Category Table. I am trying to be able to use the Category Table and have it automatically populate with the client who is using the Category at that time. Any Category not being used by a Client then the Query should write "Open" in the Client's name field. I have tried many different scenarios but can't seem to get it to work. I must see all 100 Categories each time I run a report. It doesn't have to say "Open" but where ever a client did not use the Category it should be left blank.

I am tracking extreme useage on account numbers. I've set up a table to add the information on a daily basis.
Currently the table has the following Fields:
Report_Date / Account / Usage / Sent / Received / Comments / Notes
(the Sent and Received fields are Y/N)
I've gotten a report to send working as I want, but I am running like 6 queries to put all the data together correctly. For example; if an account was flagged today and sent today I do not want to send another notice for the next 5 days; but I still want to log the data in the table for historical reasons... Again, this all works. Just that it is not pretty..
The part that I keep fighting is the responses. When I receive a response I want to log that. Right now, I check the Received flag, and add in any comments the customer sends back. This is easy. But I also want to print that information out on the report - just the latest information. For example, if I send a notice out on 11/1/12, 11/18/12, 12/14/12, and 1/10/13 and I have responses back from all of these logged in the table, when this account number gets printed again - say today - I want to add to that report JUST the comments from the 1/10/13 report.

is there anyway you can create one form which updates all the information in multiple tables. I need to create one of these to make the navigation of the database more easy, so if anybody could help me it would be much appreciated.

I have tried on different forms using more than a few different methods to make recordsets happen and to no avail. My current reason for needing to use recordsets is because I am loading a form with information from different tables. Instead of using multiple DLookups, opening the recordset only looks for the information once, speeding up the load time on the form.
Code:
Dim Rs As Dao.Recordset
Set Rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("PreviousTRRetrieval2Query")
If Rs.RecordCount > 0 Then
ProjectNumber = Rs!ID
Agency = Rs!WitnessAgency
FileNumber = Rs!FileNumber
That is the start of my code and I keep getting an error, 3061 Too Few Parameters. Expected 1. Now when I run the query I get the results I desire, which is all the information I need at this particular junction. I am using Access 2010. Why I may not be returning any results for my recordset when the PreviousTRRetrival2Query returns results on its own.

I have 2 tables, and each table having different information and i want to link those 2 and grab information from both tables.
From below tables, i want to map the Qtree and then grab the rest of the information. for e.g. qtree1 suppose the same as qtree1/a
Table 1
Qtree | Mountpoints | Hostname
qtree1 | MP1 | Host1
qtree1 | MP2 | Host1
qtree2 | MP2 | Host2
Table2
Qtree | InstallDate | Owner
qtree1/a | 1-JAn | Vic
qtree2/a | 2-Jan | Gab
Now, How can i map the Qtree since i cant use = as the qtree are different name.
I tried to use LIKE but no luck as well.
btw, in actual... qtree looks like
//amsdc1-s-12345.europe.xxx.com/dhc-amsdc1-s-03015$
/dev/backuppool02
from above....
/dev or //amsdc1-s-12345.europe.xxx.com/ will appear in the other table to map the rest of information.

I've got a table which lists accounts with an associated charge. If the account has multiple charges, then the account appears multiple times, for each charge. I'd like to consolidate the duplicates without losing each charge that is associated with the account.

I have given an example in the attached excel spread sheet with a few comments at the head of each column.
1. I want to confirm that my best modelling approach for this kind of information is a series of 1 to many relationships linking the attributes in columns A->D?
2. In the example given an environmental rating is given to each make/model of car based on each combination of attributes A-->D. How would this work in terms of user form design to enter the necessary information? in order to assign an environmental rating?

I am new with Access and I am setting up a data base that will have 16 tables and each table with have over 3,000 customers. The reason for 16 tables is that we will be inputting information on a monthly basis for each of these customers (12 of the tables) and I also have 4 tables that will be perfomring different "tasks" for each customer (one is just to keep the notes we make for each customer, one will be to show any billing done, one is going to be a summary of the entire year along with some additioanl information not entered elsewhere and the final one is our customer information table).
The customer account number is the primary key for all of my tables.I want to know how I can add a new customer (either using query or form) at one time that will populate all the tables. Right now I have everything set up as tables but I can set up queries if need be.

I'm having some trouble getting my information that I input on my form to store in my correct table. I will attach my DB so you can take a look at what I have thus far.
Here is what I am wanting to do:
I have TblEmployee, TblEquipment and TblJunction and FrmTracking and FrmUpdate
I input the bulk of my information thru FrmTracking, my trouble is I can not seem to get the information that I input in my FrmTracking to store in the correct table. I can get the information to store in TblEmployee, however the information that I want to be stored in TblEquipment will not store in there.

I have a query that gathers information from the tables in my database and returns something like this:
Code:
Field Pest
1 Insect1
1 Insect2
1 Insect3
2 Insect1
2 Insect3
2 Insect4
Field and Pest are fields in two separate (but joined) tables. Field exists only once in its table, and multiple pests are attributed to each field. I'm looking to create a table or query in which the values would be listed as follows:
Code:
Field Pest
1 Insect1, Insect2, Insect3
2 Insect1, Insect3, Insect4
The purpose for this is to create a legend for a map used by another program based on the information gathered in the database. I do have other criteria for which fields and pests show up in this query.

What would be the best table construction to allow for the inclusion of area information that varies depending on the selection of a certain route, to also include crossovers?
For example, if I had the following
R1 - AreaA, AreaC, AreaF AreaK
R2 - AreaC, AreaF, AreaL, AreaN
R3 - AreaC, AreaM, AreaN, AreaQ
How best to allow users to see all of the areas that apply to each of the routings, but not to be presented with the same grouping twice if more than one routing is selected at the same time?
I should add that I am looking to have these selectable by a combo that is filtered according to the value(s) in other fields.
