I have a query that will pull records, and append them to the table. The only problem is that not only will it pull all the "new" records, but also all the "old" records. I just want to append the records that are not already in the table. Any ideas? I have tried using the primary key, but then it dosnt import any records. There will be say 1850 records. And out of the 1850, 1 would be a new record.
I have a 2 databases exactly the same I need to append the records from one of them to the other. The only tables that need appending are "Transactions" & "Details"...that's it.
Detail Tbl: DetailID (FK to TransID) DetailDate...
The problem is how do I combine them because TransactionID is an Autonum? If I append one Transaction table to the other one (without the autonum of course), a NEW autonum is assigned then I can't link the DetailID's when I append the detail tables together.
What to do? I only have 44 total transactions to worry about so it's mostly curiousity.
I have three tables, table 1 'ServerTest' contains 5 records which should not change, table 2 'Region' has 40+ records. using an append quary all records are combined into table 3 'Junction1'
my problem... the Region table will change over time and new records will be added. how do I append the new records only to the junction1 table?
this is my append quary; INSERT INTO Junction1 ( RegionID, TestID, TestNumber, TestDescription ) SELECT Region.RegionID, ServerTest.TestID, ServerTest.TestNumber, ServerTest.TestDescription FROM Region, ServerTest;
this is a query I'm running, which I think is quite simple....why does it not bring anything across?
INSERT INTO tblRunItems ( SiteId, RunId ) SELECT tblsites.siteId, forms.frmRuns.runID FROM tblSites INNER JOIN (tblRuns INNER JOIN tblRunItems ON tblRuns.runID=tblRunItems.RunId) ON tblSites.SiteId=tblRunItems.SiteId WHERE ((tblSites.CollectionDay)=forms.frmRuns.runDay) And ((tblSites.CollectionZone)=forms.frmRuns.runZone);
i'm new with access and was wondering if i can get some help with an append query?
I'm getting an error message that state the following below:
*Microsoft Access can't append all the records in the append query. Microsoft Access set 36 field(s) to Null due to a type conversion failure, and it didn't add 0 records to the table due to key violations, 0 records due to lock violations, and 0 records due to validation rule violations.
This is my append query below:
INSERT INTO CustExportHoldCiti ( Custodian, CustAcct, Ticker, Cusip, CurrCode, SecurityName, Shares, CustCost, CustValue, POI, OriginalDiscount, HoldingType, Loc, Expr1 ) SELECT DISTINCT [CitiBank Current Holdings].Custodian, [CitiBank Current Holdings].[Account Number], SecSymbolsAll.SecSymbol AS Ticker1, [CitiBank Current Holdings].CUSIP1, [CitiBank Current Holdings].Curr, [CitiBank Current Holdings].[Security Description], [CitiBank Current Holdings].Shares, [CitiBank Current Holdings].CustCost, [CitiBank Current Holdings].CustValue, [CitiBank Current Holdings].POI, [CitiBank Current Holdings].OriginalDiscount, [CitiBank Current Holdings].HoldingType, dbo_Locations.Location, [date] AS Expr1 FROM [CitiBank Current Holdings] LEFT JOIN (SecSymbolsAll LEFT JOIN dbo_Locations ON SecSymbolsAll.LocationID = dbo_Locations.LocationID) ON [CitiBank Current Holdings].Ticker = SecSymbolsAll.SecSymbol WHERE (((SecSymbolsAll.SecSymbol) Is Not Null));
I can't figure out what is wrong with it. Thank you for the help.
I'm not sure if this is the right discussion to ask this, but it seems the closest to my question, so I apologize if i'm mis-posting.
I'm doing a "run-time" insert into a table, from the VB Script. A button pops up an InputBox, and the returned string is added into the table, via a SQL command. However, upon execution of the SQL command:
st=InputBox("New Entry") call DoCmd.RunSql("insert into table1 (field1) values ('" & st & "');")
I get a warning dialog pop-up from access, informing me that it's about to append 1 row(s) into the table. Is there anyway to deactivate that dialog warning box so it doesn't pop up every time i use an insert into statement?
can someone please help me with this problem. currently im working on a student management system with MS ACCESS. Im stuck on the create_assessment_form that allows you to query previous assessment results or to create a new assessment. It has a subform that shows the assessment results of all the students relating to a selected assessment_ID.
The query of the results are working properly, But I need everyone's help for the creating new assessment part.....
When I create a new assessment, I have to choose a course_ID the assessment is relating to. >>>Question<<< How do I make it so that it will generate a list of assessment_results record for each of the student relating to the new assessment?
maybe my explaination is a bit messy. Please let me know if you do not understand my question. But I really need an answer to this question urgently!!!
I have a database where we regulary import excel data to generated from a form sent to our clients. The excel data that we import normally holds around 10 to 40 records at a time.
The current process I use to do this is to run a macro that creates a new table (tblImportForm), and then run an append query to append those records to our existing main table (tblJobDetails). I should also mention that the macro first deletes the existing tblImportForm before creating a new one with the same name with the new data.I have used this method rather than appending the data straight into the existing tblJobDetails as I found I came into more problems with generating IDs etc.
What I want to do is have a report come up after the data has been imported/appended, that lists the new data imported with the new record IDs generated in the main table tblJobDetails. It would be easy to do this is if I only needed the data or could use the IDs in the first table I import to, but the idea of the report is to give the user the new IDs (PrimeKeys) from the second table that the data is appended to.I could maybe do a count of records in tblImportForm and then produce a report using a query from tblJobDetails that pulls that number (the count) of data from the last record backwards? But I don't know exactly how to do this.
I'm making a database for tracking purchase orders for contract workers in my department. Business rules dictate that a PO is created for each unique Contractor-Project instance.
I pulled a report (.csv format) of weekly timesheets from the company's project management database system. Some of the fields include: EmpUserName, EmpID, ProjectID, ProjectName, WeekEndDate, Hours. I linked to the file in my database and ran a query on it without WeekEndDate so that I get the total hours each contractor has worked for each project they've billed to. I created a table called tblContractorProject and appended the records to it. I'm going to be pulling this report each week so I can see if any contractors start billing to any new projects so I can create a purchase order for it. Is there a way to write an append query that can recognize if the EmpID and ProjectID combination is new and doesn't already exist in the table?
The goal I am trying to accomplish using VBA within Access 2010 is to append/add certain records to another database (Customer Service) from my database (Client Request). I tried using a macro to append then update records in my database but there is a "lag" time as to when the information is updated in the 'Customer Service' database causing my updates not to occur.
I have a single table database for inventory. Every 3 months or so, some records get changed or updated. My manager wants to keep an archive of all of the records that have been changed so we can go back and look at an history of all of the records. So, My thought is to create an "Archive" table, appended all of the current records to it. Then, when changes are made, create an Append Query, or what ever works, to copy just the changed records from the Main to the Archive table. There are only 200 items in the inventory so it is not a large database.
I am trying to implement an update query per the instructions at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;127977 to append records from table2 to table1.
I would like to add a criteria here saying update (and append) only records that match the criteria table2.dateofreview <= #12/17/2006#
This does not seem to work. The same query works without this criteria.
To test this, I created just one record in table2 (table1 is blank at this time) and manually entered the dateofreview as 12/17/2006 and tried to execute the query. It is not able to show any records.
I want to amend my query so that all duplicate records don't appear. For example when the query is run the information generated includes: Day the audit took place Room the audit took place in Faculty the activity belongs to Staff lecturer(s) who takes the class Activity that was going on when audit took place Start time of Activity Finish time of Activity Counted number of people in the room
Therefore, if there is an activity going on for a faculty but there is more than 1 staff name against it, I just want 1 record to appear against that faculty. Whereas what is happening for example is that there is a activity which takes place from 3pm to 4pm and the activity belongs to the Faculty of Computing and Engineering, and as the class was taken by 3 different lecturers, 3 separate records appear. I am concerned about this because the information is then used in a summary report for each Faculty for the year, so in this case the summary report will calculate 3 activities when it was just 1 activity.
It would be great if its something I could just amend in the query, and not in the source table.
Ok.. I have been racking my brain for hours trying to figure out how to do this. Maybe someone here can help me figure this out.
I have 2 tables. "AR94" & "RPIN" I need a query to look at the "Provider_PIN" field of both tables in order to find duplicates between that field in both separate tables at which point I need it to say If a duplicate provider_pin exists in the AR94 table & the RPIN table Then remove that provider_pin from the "RPIN" table.
The final result should be that the only records showing in the "RPIN" table would be those provider_pins' that were NOT found in both tables.
I have imported a large number of emails into a table tbl_requests.
I had intended to have unique file tbl_requests.date_opened unique, but have ended up with a lot of duplicate records (i.e. tbl_requests.date_opened is not unique !). How to delete any duplicates? I have 15,000 records...
I have two tables, one is of departments, and one is of people (with a FK denoting what department this person is in). Now consider the fact that there are duplicates in the departments table, and I would like to remove these duplicates. However, the duplicates have related records (in the people table). So, before removing the duplicates, I must update the FKs in the table of people (this is the step I'm having trouble with).
Here's an example:
As you can see, the "Sales" department is there twice. And both have a related record. What I want to do is: Update all DepartmentIDs (in tblPeople) to not point to duplicate records. In this example, that would be PersonID 2; Joe. His DepartmentID should update to "1" (as both "1" and "2" are "Sales").Delete the duplicates in tblDepartments (in this case, DepartmentID 2, "Sales").
The second step is no problem, it is only the first I am struggling with.
Also, the example posted here is just an example, the data I actually need to do this for is significantly more complex and there are many more records! In the attached database:
qry1: Simple query to find all duplicates (just used the query wizard) qry2: Just the first row of each duplicated departments (duplicates that shouldn't be deleted). In the example above, this would be the "2", "Sales" row in the tblDepartments table. qry3: Basically all qry1 rows that don't appear in qry2 qry4: All qry3 values, and their respective qry2 value.
This is what each of the (soon to be deleted) duplicate values' related records' DepartmentID should be updated to... There's no simpler way to phrase that, so using the example above, qry4 would return "2","1". This indicates that all people with a DepartmentID of "2" should be changed to "1" (so we can subsequently erase the department with the ID of 2.
This is as far as I have gotten. My next step is: Update all FKs in tblPeople based on qry4 (You can't set an update query's criteria to pull from another query, nor can you use the second query for the update value... or maybe you can, but I don't know about it).
I have a table that has multiple records (count >1). I used the find duplicate records and then made it a delete query, however, this resulted in deleting all the records that had count >1. I need to retain distinct record, and delete the extra records. Using select distinct.. I do not want to use VBA to achieve this, but at the same time be able to incorporate the steps in a module that would execute the queries in a sequential order and achieve the same results.
I have a form which allows the user to add new records to a table. After the user had entered all the information into the form, they click a command button to add the record. In addition to adding the new record, my command button runs an query which is supposed to generate a random number between 1 & 1,000,000,000 and update the record ID field with that number.
Here is the formula I have been using in the "update To" now of my query: Int((1000000000-1+1)*Rnd()+1)
My problem is that I keep getting duplicates. You would think that the chances of getting a duplicate number would be pretty small with this large of a range, but I get a duplicate almost every time.
I have tried indexing (No duplicates) the field in the table, but that did not work. When my query generated a duplicate number, the record was just not added to the table.
I also tried a two step approach: 1-Make a table of all in use record ID numbers from my table (tblIdNo) 2-Update new record with a random number that is not in tblIdNo
This was a no-go too
How to build an update query that will update each new record added to the table with a random number between 1 & 1,000,000,000 without any duplicates? This seems like it should be so simple, and I am starting to get really frustrated.
I would prefer to accomplish this through a query/queries (if possible) rather than with 100 lines of code. This database is not for me, it's for another group, and the individuals in this group are totally freaked out by code.
Is there any way to highlight duplicates across a number of records on a continuous form (conditional formatting I presume)? My continuous form is filtered on load to show only the records relating to the specified date (specified before opening the form), and there is one field that I would like to highlight if there is a duplicate value in the same field on another record on the form. Is this possible?
I know there is no more than 4 dups of each record.
what i want from this is a table that will give me a record of how many dups for each record then all the dates that they were added and the date between each record entry.
I am using the following code to check for duplicate tickets when importing multiple records into a datasheet view form by using the paste append function.
Code: Private Sub Ticket_Number_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) DoCmd.SetWarnings False If DLookup("Ticket_Number", "Record_Store", "Ticket_Number= '" & Me.Ticket_Number.Value & "'") > 0 Then Cancel = True MsgBox "There were import errors, please open View Import Errors above." End If End Sub
The form is used to insert multiple records into the database at a single time.
That codes works to check for duplicates. And if there are none there are no popup messages.
If there are duplicates though it gives a popup for every single Ticket_Number that is a duplicate.
I am wondering if there is a way for it to give only a single popup once it completes checking all the records to be imported for duplicates.
Hey, all! Thanks for helping, here is my situation.
I have a table with about 70,000 records that have duplicate Address field values. The rest of the field values for those records are different. When I do a find duplicate querry I get the result that 17,000 records have the same address. However, when I do the append qurrey as instructed here: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=209183 I get a total of only 600 records in the new table. I have tried deleting all of the indexes for both the new and old table, with no luck.
I'm using Access 2000 on XP Pro.
If anyone could help with this I would greatly appreciate it!
Here is my issue. In a table with an Auto Number index some records have been deleted. I have been able to recreate them along with their original auto number. The problem is that I do not know how to append these records forcing the original auto number. I have tried changing the auto number field to a number field in the table, this works except I cannot change it back to auto number.
I am sure I’m not the first with this question or issue. I did search through a couple hundred entries about auto number before I posted this question.
I have an Access table with an indexed key that is currently set to duplicates OK. There are not supposed to be any duplicates in that field. But it is possible than a small number have crept through.
Two questions:
1. What would happen to those duplicate records if I changed the setting from duplicates OK to no duplicates?
2. Is there any way to ferret out those duplicate records first and change them manually? The table currently has 48000 records so it would be a pain to go through them page by page. (I know how to export them to Excel, where the dups can easily be found; I was just wondering if something could do it within Access.)
