I have an append query that everytime it runs it will simply duplicate the records. ex.. sample table has 11 records if you run it again the tableB will now have 22 records. I need it to only update the records, so if someone makes in change / new record in tableA it will only update the records in TableB.
I have the Primary Key set to Yes no duplicates.
TableA Primary Key is ID
TableB Primary Key is CustomerID
hi Guys, I have been looking at different post and checking Microsoft help files as well, but still can't seem to fix this problem.
I am having 2 tables. The first table is connected to a form for viewing and entering data, and in the second table i am just copying 3-4 fields from the first table.
I am trying to use the insert statement to insert records in the second table, and everytime i click on the "Add" button to add the records i get the following error "MS access can't append all the records in the append query ... blah blah blah"
However if i close the form and reopen it, and goto the record (as it is saved in the first database) and now click on the add button to add the fields to the second table/database, it works.
I would like to use an append query that appends data from a union query into a table, but doesn't add duplicates based on a certain field.
I have been trying to use this code, but it doesnt seem to work.
INSERT INTO [Cotton13/14] SELECT DISTINCT [Contracted Farmers].* FROM [Contracted Farmers] WHERE NOT (SELECT * FROM [Cotton13/14] FROM [Cotton13/14] AS [Cotton13/14] WHERE [Cotton13/14].[OF Codec] = [Contracted Farmers].[OF Codec])
Cotton13/14 is the table I want to append to and Contracted Farmers is the union query. However the code is giving me an error.
I need help with ACCESS query. I am not at all good with access queries and am unable to figure this out even though it may have an easy solution.
There is an existing query designed by our company in a database. This query links different fields from 4 more queries and finally generates 16 columns as shown below. (I have also attached excel file with the same example as the text below is not aligned)
In this example I am just showing 8 records, but in reality there usually about 4000 records and the number changes every day.
Now I am asked to design a query based on the query that gives the above results.
The 14th column (heading –MV by Fund code) actually sums up the market values in column 12 (BMV) that has same fund code in column 15. For example for fund code “abcd” the BMV are $150, $256 and $325 which sum upto $731 and hence this number shows up in column 14 against each record with “abcd” fund code.
Now there is a difference of $14 between column 15 (heading-Total TNAD) and column 14 (heading- MV by Fund Code) for fund code “abcd”. I am asked to design a query that will add records on the results generated above by the existing query.
The new record added should show the difference of $14 in column 12 and text “OTH” column 8 and column 9 and should show the fund code “abcd” . The values in remaining columns should be the same as the fund code “abcd”.
The above logic would then apply to funds “wxyz”, “pqrs” and so on
In this example the following three records should be added below the above 8 records with these details
My user opens frm_ENTRY. Which is pulling data from tbl_TEMP. They clean up a few fields on the form. Then click a button which executes an append query which appends the data to tbl_MAIN.
My problem is sometimes when it appends the data it is overriding older data. It is not creating a new line each time. It simply overrides an existing record. Does this make any sense at all?
There are many other forms, queries, tables and macros in this DB. If that matters at all. I think it has something to do with a bound form that is connected to a drop down from a query, but I have no way of trouble shooting this? Where do I start?
Thanks for taking the time to look at my problem first of all. I have a form that shows records but I want a button next to each record that will append that one single record to another table that is built exactly the same, which is for historic records. Not the brightest on Access and I can only manage to append all records.
As an example, I have an employee record that have a task, when the task is complete I want to append the record to a historic table that I can look up later on. However, just that one employee and not all that are in the current table.
How can I modify the below code so that it only adds new records to AttributesTBL from ProductInformation-Consumer?
INSERT INTO AttributesTBL ( Material ) SELECT [ProductInformation-Consumer].Material FROM AttributesTBL INNER JOIN [ProductInformation-Consumer] ON AttributesTBL.Material = [ProductInformation-Consumer].Material;
Dear pro, I am having difficulties running a simple query that it runs all day and I have to kill it at the end of my date because it does not finish. Here is the statement that I would like some suggestions on how to improve it for faster results: SELECT code, acct nbr, date, user, sum(amt) FROM Tbl a WHERE code IN ('AB', 'BC', 'CD', 'AA', 'BB', 'CC', 'ZZ' ) AND date BETWEEN TO_DATE ('20070101', 'YYYYMMDD') AND TO_DATE ('20070131', 'YYYYMMDD') group by code,acc nbr,date,user
I have attached an image of the 2 tables concerning my question.
The main "transaction" table is the tblAssessments and a linked table tblRisks drives a subform - showing multiple Risks per assessment.
The field "OccupantID" identifies the facility where Assessments are done (there are other tables, of course).
I am using an OccupantID "00000" to store templates - pre-filled assessments with most common options selected.
I am trying to develop code and/or query or SQL that would do this:
copy all templates (records from OccupantID 00000) and corresponding sub-records from tblRisks into the same tables, but under a different (selected by user) OccupantID.
I have no problem just using an Append Query (actually a SQL statement in VBA with variable parameters), but that only lets me copy into 1 table - so I can copy just the tblAssessments records.
but how do I then copy the tblRisks related records and make sure I attach them to the correct AssessmentID?
Can anyone help me with this - I have an append query to a statement table for invoices with a macro set. When the query is run the data is added to the statement query.
what is happening is that it is adding the data ok on a seaparate line but is also updating any previous invoices for the same client to the new invoice number obviously not what I want.
I have an order system whereby there is a "basket" table and an order detail table.
I want to use an append query to move all the records from the basket table to the order detail table.
However, I also need to mark each record that gets appended to the order detail table with an "Order Id" that has already been saved in an Order table.
I.e. I save the main details of an order into the order table then copy records from the basket table into the order detail table along with an order ID that comes from a form.
I'm using an append query that needs to add the records from another database into a table. I can get it to get the data and add the records. There are other columns in the database that are not in the one the data is pulled from. If I would run the append query again, it would add the same records again at the end. How can I avoid this? I only need to add new records that are not yet in the database I want to pull the records to.
I have a table with a rotating work order number (from 1 to 9999 then starts over) and because there may be more than one record with the same work order number I need to find the most recent one. Here's the query I'm using the find the most recent record for each work order number: SELECT * FROM [Work Orders] AS wk1 WHERE NOT EXISTS( SELECT * FROM [Work Orders] AS wk2 WHERE wk1.[Work Order #] = wk2.[Work Order #] AND wk1.[Call In Date] < wk2.[Call In Date] );
Right now the table has a litttle over 10000 records and it takes anywhere from 10 seconds to 60 seconds to return the results. Is there a way I could possibly speed up this query?
So, I've been searching through this forum and can't seem to find the answer to this one. I would like to capture a value from a main form and have it used as a value in an append query, in order to populate a subform based on the main form, like so:
INSERT INTO tblTakenSurveys ( VisitID, SurveyQuestionID, ResponseCodeID) SELECT Forms![frmMyFormName]!VisitID, tblSurveyQuestions.SurveyQuestionID, 66 FROM SurveyQuestions WHERE SurveyID = 3;
Might help to explain some of the terms in this statement: tblTakenSurveys is where I need the new data to be entered via the subform. Forms![frmMyFormName]!VisitID is a textbox control bound to a PK in another table that has a one-to-many relationship with tblTakenSurveys. tblTakenSurveys.ResponseCodeID is a foreign key that represents respondents actual answers to questions. 66 is a value for a ResponseCodeID that stands for a dummy value meaning "data not yet entered"
As per advice I received from others on this forum, I have set a query like the above to run from a command button to populate the subform (in theory). But I'm sure I've done something wrong within the query because it will not return a value from the form "VisitID" control and therefore will not append the rows. Without the appended rows, my subform will not populate. And this has me running in circles...
I pasted the link to another thread below, where I originally received a lot of input as far as the table structure. I did not start this one, but my posts are the most recent (as of now anyway). Pat Hartman had given me a lot of the guidance here.
- I have a module which runs queries on linked sales spreadsheets, to merge them in to one Access table. - To prevent duplication of sales, the primary key merges the sales record and item number fields.
Today, it's found 103 key duplication errors, which is fine. But it's still adding data to the table. The data seems to be fields which aren't even mentioned in the query. It only does this when the query is ran from VBA.
I am creating a database where the records of individual students are to be moved to different table depending on where they are in the graduation process. In order to do this, the secretary will enter the student in the "90 Hr Request" table (think of it as the first step), and move them down the line of tables (4 in total) until the final "Completed" table. Each table in the progression has more and more fields. However, a student (with their ID number as the primary key) can only be in one table at a time.
I understand this does not sound like a traditional database, as the data is not normalized. However, this is being used more as a filing system than anything else. Their data is primarily paper based (for legality reasons), but wishes to keep it organized in a database so they can run queries and print reports.
Currently, I am creating a macro that will run specific queries (in an order). I have made an append query that will move the records over, then I used a update (to null) and delete query combo to delete the old individual record. I made the delete + update query work by using a selected criteria.
How to make the append query move only one student's record at a time.
I apologize up front for how long this is, but the queries involved are a bit complex.
I developed a database in Access 2003 running on XP sp2 to score events for our dog club. Everything works. I recently had to migrate to Vista. I installed Access without a problem. No changes to the database were made. Almost everything works except for a few queries. I continually get the error "Object invalid or no longer set." This is not running on a network - it is local on the hard drive. Setting XP compatibility mode and runing as administrator do not help.
The query that is actually causing the problem is the third in a chain, meaning it queries a dataset produced by another query, which in turn queries a dataset produced by a third query. This all works under XP.
I have narrowed the problem down to the ORDER BY statement in the query (I prefer to work in SQL). If I remove one of the sort criteria, everything works, except the results are displayed in the wrong order. It does not matter if I click the "run query" button on my form, or simply execute the query from the list of queries, the same error occurs. This is where I'm stuck.
Here is the chain. This query pulls data out of multiple tables and performs some point total calculations. This one is rather complex, but works fine. It produces a blob dataset of all entries for all events and sets points for each entry.
SELECT tblResults.Event_ID, tblEvents.Event_Name, tblClass.Class, tblDogs.Dog_Name, tblDogs.ID, tblDogs.Owner, tblDogs.Sex, tblResults.Dog_Wt, tblResults.Cert, tblResults.Ex, tblResults.Cplt_Wt, tblResults.Time, tblResults.Final_Wt, tblResults.Dist, tblResults.Place, IIf(tblResults!Cplt_Wt<400,0,5) AS Bonus, IIf([Bonus]=0,0,IIf(tblClass!Class="D",(tblEvents!D_Count-(tblResults!Place-1)+[Bonus]),IIf(tblClass!Class="C",(tblEvents!C_Count-(tblResults!Place-1)+[Bonus]),IIf(tblClass!Class="B",(tblEvents!B_Count-(tblResults!Place-1)+[Bonus]),IIf(tblClass!Class="A",(tblEvents!A_Count-(tblResults!Place-1)+[Bonus]),(tblEvents!O_Count-(tblResults!Place-1)+[Bonus])))))) AS Points, Round(tblResults!Cplt_Wt/tblResults!Dog_Wt,2) AS xbdywt FROM tblClass INNER JOIN (tblEvents INNER JOIN (tblDogs INNER JOIN tblResults ON tblDogs.ID=tblResults.Dog_ID) ON tblEvents.Event_ID=tblResults.Event_ID) ON tblClass.Weight=tblResults.Dog_Wt;
That resulting dataset feeds the next query, which also works fine. This one sums the points for each entrant by class for the season, only selecting entrants that have been in 3 or more events.
SELECT DISTINCTROW qryAll_Results.Class, qryAll_Results.Dog_Name, qryAll_Results.Owner, Sum(qryAll_Results.Points) AS Points FROM qryAll_Results INNER JOIN qryPulls_Entered ON qryAll_Results.ID=qryPulls_Entered.ID WHERE qryPulls_Entered.CountOfID>3 GROUP BY qryAll_Results.Class, qryAll_Results.Dog_Name, qryAll_Results.Owner, qryAll_Results.ID;
This last query is the one causing the headache. This one pulls the 10 entrants with the most points for a class, sorts them by points, then assigns 1st-10th place.
SELECT TOP 10 qryOverall_Totals_All_Classes.Dog_Name, qryOverall_Totals_All_Classes.Owner, qryOverall_Totals_All_Classes.Points, ((SELECT COUNT(*) FROM qryOverall_Totals_All_Classes AS T WHERE T.Class = "A" AND T.Points > qryOverall_Totals_All_Classes.Points)+1) AS Place FROM qryOverall_Totals_All_Classes WHERE (((qryOverall_Totals_All_Classes.Class)="A")) ORDER BY qryOverall_Totals_All_Classes.Class, qryOverall_Totals_All_Classes.Points DESC;
If you remove 'qryOverall_Totals_All_Classes.Points DESC' from the ORDER BY statement, the query runs. If you leave it in, it generates the error "Object invalid or no longer set". I've tried using the alias, but that didn't work either.
Any thoughts? I can post the database somewhere if someone needs to see the whole thing.
I have created a linked Excel table in Access 2010 called 'tblExcelLinked' and I have a form called 'ASB Log Form' for the purposes of presenting the data in a more readable manner that is easier to view, plus link other fields of data that are not directly related to the 'tblExcelLinked'.
Because there is no unique ID in the 'tblExcelLinked' to create a relationship, I have created a table called 'tblASB', which allows me to add other table data linked from same d/b.
I now want to update the 'tblASB' with data from the 'tblExcelLinked', but only append new records from 'tblExcelLinked', but my inadequate append query is duplicating the records each time I run it, rather than just adding the new ones.
Once sorted my next challenge is a macro so that this runs automatically rather than being manually triggered.
I have a query that when I run it normally (just click on it) then it runs fine. (It is a union query, getting it's data from 8 other queries (who has their dependancies)
But when I want to run a report from it, Access gives me an error saying "query is too complex".
I am flattered, but I would prefer access to work than say I write stuff that is too complex for it. :cool:
Any ideas?
I am confused by the fact that it runs when I double click the query, but the report bugs it out.
Hi, I have been using the following query, literally for years, without any changes. I run it from code using db.execute, and I do use the dbfailonerror option.
One of the things it does is to add a '3' to the end of the [serial]. [serial] is the primary key in the TST3 table. You might think that there would be a problem if, say, I have a list of serials containing 35 56 1 13 and I'm trying to update them to 353 563 13 133 But this has worked OK in the past. NOW I'm getting a KV Error when it tries to update the 1 to 13, because there's already a 13 in the table.
Even stranger, when the query fails, all the rows BEFORE the offending record DO get updated. So the query fails, and I end up with: 353 563 1 13 (and yes, I DO have dbfailonerror set)
So, it looks to me as if update queries are no longer running as transactions. I am pretty certain that action queries have always been run transaction-wise in the past... if the query fails, the whole thing should fail. WHY is the transaction processing no longer working for this update query? Has anyone else noticed this?
I recently ran microsoft update and am now running Access 2002 (10.6771.6830) SP3.
I have a form set up and would like to have field update to a table when a policy number is input into the form. The fields are extracted from a linked table and are not viewed on the form but need to be written to a table to create a report. I'm confused on the sets to take to handle this. I think i need to use the "onchange" property and set up a macro that runs a query but how does the query write to the table?
I have a query which looks up records from a table, now what I would like to do is append the word All Projects to this query - is it possible, and if so how?
I want to append records that I have created in Table1, via a form (Form1), to Table2, using Form1's OnClose event. (Table2 will be amended later, but I need to preserve Table1). Is there a way to append only the records from Table1 that haven't been previously appended to Table2? Also, can I turn off the warning messages in an append query? TIA
I Have a situation where a client will want to pay some lump sum amounts of money off a loan and it may be something like $100 per month for 10 months. I have created a table for lump sums payments into which this info would be entered but I need to create an individual payment for the period of time designated ie 10 individual records of $100 each starting in a month and incrementing the month.
I see it being a append query but do not know how to make the append query create 10 instances of the one record based on a field value. I also do not know how to make the Month increment by one for each record ie Mar05,Apr05,May05 etc.
If this is possible any suggestions would be appreciated.
