I have a form with a subform in Datasheet view. I want the user to double click a record in that subform and a query to ammend it to another table.
I want to trap the double click event of the subform but
how do i run a query based on a current record in a subform?
This is my first time posting to a forum so don't hesitate to correct me if I am doing something wrong.
I am trying to create autofill templates based on the worktype.
How do I append data to the current record only!
I have a table that contains all of the job information including a record autonumber.
I have made a form using this table and it includes a subform for charge items from a separate table.
My users are complaining about having to key in every line item and want the form to autofill the subform for charge items based on the worktype field.
I have written an append query which is correctly extracting the worktype field and updating the charge items fields but it is doing so for every record with the same work type. I just want it to update the current record I am looking at.
hello
does anyone know how to append a string to an existing text field so i have a record and the value of this text field is say "abc" i run an update query which pulls the string "def" out of another table and then now the value is "abcdef"
I have tried the following sql
UPDATE TBL_TmpSubmission
LEFT JOIN TBL_PropertyType ON TBL_TmpSubmission.PropertyType = TBL_PropertyType.PropertyType SET TBL_TmpSubmission.ErrorCode = [TBL_TmpSubmission].[ErrorCode] & "property"
WHERE (((TBL_PropertyType.PropertyType) Is Null));
which I expected to append the string "property" to the field which already had the value "measure" but it just overwrites the string having the same effect as
UPDATE TBL_TmpSubmission
LEFT JOIN TBL_PropertyType ON TBL_TmpSubmission.PropertyType = TBL_PropertyType.PropertyType SET TBL_TmpSubmission.ErrorCode = "property"
WHERE (((TBL_PropertyType.PropertyType) Is Null));
i have a temporary table in my db which is checked for errors, that is to say there are three fields in a further lookup table and three of the fields in this temporary table TBL_TmpSubmission are checked for nonexistent property types, fuel types and measure types by queries with the structure given above
it all has the effect i need of filling in this error code field so the error types can be displayed using a later select query - except when there is say a measure error AND a property error because then one query just overwrites the effect of the other
what i want is to be able to use say letter codes "P", "F", "M", append them to one another and then in my later select display that code so the user can see all the fields which need to be corrected
Im trying to make a button that sends the current open record information to another table. I created an append Query but it is pulling nothing. Can someone help me figure out how to send the current open file to a seperate table?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to open a form with some records taken from one table, then alter couple of data in it and after that most importantly to append current records into a different table. The reason I need to append is that I need to keep track on every occurrence on same fields.
It looks like this:
SerialNumber(Field 1), ServiceDate(Field 2), ServiceEngineer(Field 3)
Now suppose same serial number called again and asked for service, I need to still keep record on how many times this same serial number had service.
In my query, i want to automatically display the value of another field from the previous record in a field in my current record. i.e.
Name Value Previous
Record 1 1
Record 2 2 1
Record 3 7 2
Record 4 1 7
Is it possible to create some kind of simple expression to refer to data in another record?
Cheers,

Hi,
I am trying to run an append query, but instead of appending the whole table, I would like to only append a single record.
I have an append query, and it works like a charm. I can also get it to work with prompting the user for a parameter (in my case LeaseId which is a primary key). When the user is prompted and enters the LeaseId it only appends the single matching record. Works like a charm.
However, I don't want to prompt the user for the paramater. I want the user to generate the LeaseId based on the selections in two combo boxes.
So far the I do get the right LeaseId, but I have no idea how to actually pass the LeaseId to the query. I've tried the following, but I know it's completely wrong.
stDocName = "approveLease"
DoCmd.OpenQuery stDocName, acNormal, acEdit, "[LeaseId]=" & Me.buildingCombo.Column(0)
Any ideas on how to actually accomplish this?
Hello,
Can anybody see what I'm doing wrong here. I have the following query
SELECT Contacts.Cust_FK, Contacts.ContactNr, Contacts.FirstLastName
FROM Contacts
WHERE (Forms.ComLogDetail.Cust_FK=Contacts.Cust_FK)
ORDER BY Contacts.ContactNr;
The "Forms.ComLogDetail.Cust_FK" part should render the current record in the form ComLogDetail but its not. Any ideas?? I'm an amateur programmer so my apolgies if the solution is all too simple.
It is possible to refer in a SQL statement to the "current" or "actual" record?I want to base the querry in the present value of two related tables. I will try to show you what I have to do, maybe you can give an alternative solution.These are the tables:tblTeam (idTeam, TeamName, DayCreated)tblTeamPerson (idPerson, idTeam)tblPerson (idPerson, PersonName, MusicPreference)Every person have a music preference, and the teams have to be formed by people with similar music preference.So, one way to filter that is to use the following method: everytime I create a team, I choose a person, ok. That firts guy is the one that will give the team his "MusicalPreference". The next members with different MusicalPreferences will be excluded from the query.But in order to do that, I need to refer to the current team that have 1 member, and use the value of the field MusicPreference in that Person in particular.I hope you have understand what I have to do, and I hope you can help me with this.P.S.: I´m using a combo-box with a special query in a subform to select the team members. In the main form I create the team. So it would be great to be able to use that "idTeam" value in relation with the firts team member of that team.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am designing a contact management system and have hit a bit of a wall. I am farily new to Access so please advise if I am going about this the totally wrong way.
I have three tables; Contacts, Companies, Company_Addresses
Contacts:
ContactID (P)
CompanyID
OfficeName
Companies:
CompanyID (P)
Company_Addresses:
CompanyID
OfficeName (P)
What I want is when adding a contact, to have a drop down list in the CompanyID field showing all the companies in the Companies table, and then in the OfficeName field, have a list of only the offices related to the company selected in the previous field.
I can do the first list, but cant work out how to list only data related to the company selected in the previous field. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum.
Thanks. James
I have a table with rooms each room have a number of gust. I want to append each room many times equal to the number of gusts.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThe program I am working with has an option to add a new record to another table using a button. Not all the records, even new ones, need to be appended.
The append query works fine in all situations but one--when a new record is entered and saved, the append query button returns 0 records to be appended. However, if you go to a different record and come back to the one just added in the main table, the append query works fine. The query uses a TempVar to select only the record being seen at the time. The TempVar is declared prior to attempting to append the record to the other table.
Is there a way to make a just entered record act like its been around for a bit (well at least to save it by changing record to another and back)?
right, struggling here.
Basically I have continuous form listing all the standard letters sent out when I double click on a letter, I need to to run a query for me. The code I have put behind the button is:
If ([StandardLetterType] = "Homework") Then
DoCmd.OpenQuery ("qryHomeworkClearMailMerge")
DoCmd.OpenQuery ("MergeHomework"), , , , , acDialog, Me.[StandardLetterID]
DoCmd.OpenReport ("rptHomework"), acViewPreview
Else
'
end if
and in the query I am first clearing the mailmerge yes/no field out which works fine and then running the merge to put the yes back in the current record so the query looks like this
Its an update query with update to yes for mailmerge and under the standard letter ID i have the criteria [Me].[OpenArgs]
is this completely wrong tried the [Forms!][frmFullStudentReport].[standardletterID] but it kept popping the box up asking for the number.
On the form I have the standardletterID and its hidden but there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
I have a table of customers who report trouble on their equipment. I would like to compare the date in the current record to the previous record to see if it occurred within 30 days. Can I do this with an SQL query or expression?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a database of Assessments, each record having multiple subforms.
I am working on a button, which creates a "similar" (same) assessment, copying over all the subform records/selections.
So, after I actually insert a new assessment, pasting all the values from the original Assessment:
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSelectRecord
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdCopy
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdPasteAppend
I need to copy over subform contents, for which I use an Append Query (actually, I use its SQL in VBA code to pass it the right parameters).
Now, naturally, I ran into Key Violations, because taking 50 sub-records from the original they would have their own AutoNumber Keys (ID's) and I can't append them into the same table.
My question: how do I copy over the same records (appending FROM and TO the same table) but cause the table to insert AutoNumbers for the records being appended?
Thanks!
I have tables Account (PK acctnum) and Orders (linked via acctnum to Account). There are multiple orders per account that need to be billed individually. When creating an invoice I need to add the Account to the Invoice table and the Orders to the InvoiceDetail table. I use 2 queries to accomplish this. The first one though adds multiple records to the invoice table (because of the one to many relationship). I need to keep that so I don't bill anyone with no orders.
INSERT INTO Invoices ( InvoiceDate, AcctNum )
SELECT DISTINCT Date() AS InvoiceDate, Account.AcctNum
FROM Account INNER JOIN [Order] ON Account.AcctNum = Order.AcctNum
WHERE (((Order.OrderNum)=[Forms]![Account]![Order].[Form]![OrderNum]) AND ((Account.BillingCycle)="on discharge") AND ((Order.EndDate) Is Not Null) AND ((Order.Closed)=Yes) AND ((Order.PatientName)=[Forms]![Account]![Order].[Form]![PatientName]));
Is there any way to get it to only add one record? I've tried limiting it with several parameters to no avail.
I have two append queries that I use to archive certain data from two different tables to one archive table. The queries are run from the corresponding forms of the two tables. I would like to be able to add the form name to the append query.
That is, if the old data is coming from FrmA, then the Archive table would show that the old data came from FrmA or TblA, etc. I added a field in the Archive table [FormName]. I know you can call the name of the form by =frm.name, but how do I append this to the Archive table without having to have the Archive form open?
I have form1 that has the current commodity When i need to change the commodity I want the following to happen when they click a button: open the commodity change formthat form has a drop down to select a new commodity and a date of commodity change date fieldWhen the user submits it will move existing value to history along with the Date of change (separate table)Next it will take the value in the new commodity box and make it the current commodity
My thinking is that when i click the button to open the change form I can save the commodity at that time but I wont have the date yet. Just not sure of they best way to go about this.
I am using access 2010. I need to rename a table when I import the a new table. But I can't get the docmd rename code to work. I also want to append the current date on the end i.e.
docmd.rename, "tblOldTable(Currentdate)", actable, "tblOldTable"
doesn't work.
I have a part table summary with various quantities 1-1000 and want to create a new table where part number repeats with quantity of 1 corresponding back to the sum. If part 123456=20 then this would repeat 20 x and each record Qty=1
Start with summary
--================
Part Qty
111000 2
222000 3
End result all Qty=1
--================
Part Qty
111000 1
111000 1
222000 1
222000 1
222000 1
--================
I stared with a loop and was able to get an append query to work referring to the quantity value (3) for one record from tbl_temp to tbl_main, but not really sure how to advance through many records.
For n = 1 To [Forms]![MainScreen]![Text7]
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qry_Update_Qty"
'DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Next n
maybe a do while or some other approach?
I have a query pulling data from two other queries (qry_Reports and qry_Surveys). Clients may have more than one ReportID, but only one ClientID. I need to query for only the most current ReportID (which is the larger value) for each client to find the surveys for the most recent report. How can I query for only the most recent report for each client based on the highest value of the ReportID per ClientID?
View 11 Replies View RelatedI have a table, with a related value in another table. E.g. A Items table with a batch value from another table.
I have a form to enter how many of these items has been used and from which batch number they belong.
The batch number is from a dropdown, and batches can be finished(exhausted) and marked such in the table so they no more show in the dropdown.
All this works fine, until, I go back to a entry which was from a batch that has been finished. The combobox is empty although the (Already finished) batch number is mentioned in the table. This is perfectly normal as my query for the combobox is :
Code:
SELECT ItemBatch.ItemId, ItemBatch.ItemBatchNumber, ItemBatch.Finished, ItemBatch.ItemName
FROM ItemBatch
WHERE (((ItemBatch.Finished)=False)
AND ((ItemBatch.ItemName)=[Forms]![ItemMasterForm]![ItemDataSheet].[Form]![ItemName]));
What I want is to show the current batch number as well. I tried to make this query get the current value, but wasn't successful. I tried to make a calculated field based on the dropdown and show its value.
Is there any way I can show the batch number in the datasheet? I have to use a datasheet and not a form, because there will be many sub records for the main form, and having a form will be very uneasy.
I have a query run that gives me a list of records that I view on a continuos form. What I want is to press a button and run a macro/Append Query to add a Single Summary record to another table.
For example my query spits out this data
Part # Quantity Serial Number
GO2 1 123
GO2 2 456
GO2 2 789
What I'm looking to get is
Part Number Total Quantity Serial Number 1 Serial Number 2 ..
GO2 5 123 456
I'm stuck on a couple of things.
1. Getting a new single row to append.
2. Getting Serial Numbers from several records to save on to a single record.
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.
What am i doing wrong???
Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.
I need a way to dynamically store a particular value in "field_2" of the CURRENT record depending on whether or not the value of "field_1" of the CURRENT record is identical to the value of "field_1" of the PREVIOUS record within the same table. The table is sorted on "field_1".
So, if the value of "field_1" in the CURRENT record is "ABC" and the value of "field_1" in the PREVIOUS record is also "ABC", then store a value of "PPP" in "field_2" of the current record. IF on the other hand, the value of "field_1" in the CURRENT record is "ABC" and the value of "field_1" in the PREVIOUS record is "XYZ", then store a value of "WWW" in "field_2" of the current record.
I have a report that will use these results to count only the number of records that have a "WWW" in "field_2".
Is this doable, maybe in a query somehow?
I should add that whatever the solution, it needs to be compatible with Access 2000.
