Appending To A String In A Query
Jul 4, 2005
I need to build up a string containing values separated by commas. The following almost does this.
I use an update query in which the "Update to" field for 'String field' contains
[String field] & IIf(Len([String field])<1,"",", ") & [Related table]![Value to append]
I would like to have the [Related table]![Value to append] in ascending order.
I.e. I would like the result to look like "A, B, C, F, H", not "B, C, H, F, A". Any suggestions as to how to apply the sort?

ok im having some serious problems here. im using a tutorial to make a database for my small business and everything was going great, except this 1 problem ive been having for like 2 weeks now. i had my 2 main tables linked together using another table which is my foriegn field i think? anyway i used a query to make this table and to add the data from my other 2 tables to it. now i want to add the data from my suppliers table to it aswell but i dont know how. my original query wasnt saved cause the tutorial told me i didnt need to save. i think what i need to do is append this data to query like i did when i first made it but if the query isnt there anymore how can i append it? does this mean i have to start my database from scratch and do all 3 tables at once? or can i make a new query? ive tried making a new query to add this data to the linking table but no go. im horrible at explaining this so hopefully some pictures will help.
heres my relationships. what i want to do is make my tblSuppliers link to my tblItems. i think i need to link it to tblCategoryItems and do the query thing to add the data to it. is this correct? or is there another way i can do it?

in this pic you can see how the first 2 fields were populated for me by the query but now i added an extra field which i want populated with the supplier ID. i tried to manually add the number of the supplier here but it didnt work either. i think i need another primary key for it to work but i cant add another primary key to this table cause access complains.

this is getting realy frustrating that i cannot do this and i would be overly thankfull to anyone who has the time to help me out here. thanks.

i have several comboboxes and textboxes in a form called
inputorders.frm. I am trying to get all of them to an append
table which would allow to show the control values in a table on
the form with a command button:"add item". I'm using a
append query that will only run by itself. Getting the "enter
parameter values" msgbox and not the values from the form.
I really don't know what i'm am doing wrong. It is a single row and
I can't get the appendquery to work with the command trigger event
What is the correct way to code the query along with the command
button to trigger the query with the control values automatically displaying
in the table.
THanks for the help,

i have a table with tons of records in it. There is a field called "date to return by" that previously had a default value of Date+30. Now, some things changed in our company, and under certain conditions, the "date to return by" for new records will be Date+14, or Date+30. At first, i tried making this relationship in a table as a default value, but, you cannot make a relationship like this in a table.
So, i made a query to evaluate the relationship.
what i want to do, is have a query that will have all the same fields the table had and evaluate whether a records' "date to return by" should be Date+30 or Date +14, and then put that new record back in the table.. but, this will only be for new records, as i will be keeping all the old records in the table as they are.
how can i do this?
all of my reports read off of my table so i want to keep the table. can i make a query that will put new records into a table one at a time as i make them?

Ok so I am making an application which requires me to add a record.. ok fine, but then i also need a cancell option, which would delete the record... np, BUT if the user cancells, I don't want my Auto number increasing... So I am writing to a temporary table which mirrors the original one, and then if the user clicks cancell, i delete the temporary record... If the user clicks "save" then i want to Append that new record to my original Table and then delete the record... HOWEVER, when i appended this record the first time it added 2 identical records to the original table, Then 4 the next time, Then 8, 16, 32 , etc etc I'm not quite sure how I did this but i hope its a common problem that somebody has maybe done themselves and will be able to help me out...
Attached is a Skeleton with the original Table, and the Temporary Table, along with the same query currently i have some data entered, When you attempt to add another record to the temp table , and then run the append query, it will add 8 identical records... TRY IT! and then HELP ME!! please!

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?

Hi Guys and Girls.
I have about 100 or so tables that I need to append back into one table :eek:
However all of these 100 tables all begin with the number 100 at the beggining. I know that you can append tables - but as far as I know you can only do one at a time. Is there any easy way to do this - for example writing a small SQL statement - saying select all tables that begin with 100* and then append into a master table :confused:
Alternatively are there any programs on the net that can do this (I just wrote a massive macro to import them from a text file in to access- not realising this problem would happen!) :(
Unfortunately each of the tables has the first row as the column heading too?
Any help would be much appreciated!!
Cuurently using Access 97 though.

Can any one help me or give me code.

I have a local table that I am trying to append to a linked table. The fields are exactly the same. When I try to append the entire local table to the linked table I get an error code.
ODBC- insert on a link table failed.
[ctreeSQL]-17002 CT- Key value already exists in index (linked table field) (#-17002)
If I specify the criteria in the field to refer to a specific value in the local table, it updates it just fine. I want an append query because I don't want to manually update 500+ records!! I don't believe an update query would work because the values are not in the current linked table... so nothing to update!

Hi,
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.
Won't this query work *with* a Criteria?

we have a calculated field in an append query Line_Cost which eventually creates a purchase order.
We have to have a minimum order value of £1500.00, so, we need to total the values before running the append query.

Here's my problem. I need to generate a report that says how much of each individual product was produced and as well as the total produced for a specified category in a time period. Something like the following:
05 Catagory A: 02 Product AA, 01 Product AB, 02 Product AC
10 Category B: 07 Product BA, 03 Product BB
04 Category C: 01 Product CA, 01 Product CB, 01 Product CC, 01 Product CD
etc...
I currently have a query that queries a database and pulls out all products that were produced in a specified period and the categories they belong to and dump them into a local access table. Now what I need to do is search through the query results and count up how many of each product were produced (02 AA, 01 AB, etc...) and the totals for each category. The number of categories is pretty limited (6), but there are hundreds of product codes, so I need a way to do this without having to type in each induvidual product code as the requirement by which the query searches. Also, the product codes that get returned are different every day.
I was thinking something along the lines of take the product code of the first row and check for any others in the results that match and write that into another table. Then move onto row 2 and use its product code as a search parameter and search through the query results for any matches. Then continue that until the end of the query results. Can I do that? Is there a better way to achieve what I need?

Hi all,

Any suggestions would be gratefully recieved.

Hi all,
My name is Sarah and I'm working with a simple guestbook script that runs with an Access database. Right now the script displays all guestbook entries. I want to alter it so it only displays entries if a given person's name is "Bruce". This might sound goofy but if I can get this functionality then I'll be able to alter the script to build a bunch of simple scripts that I have planned.
Here's the code that displays all entries on the guestbook:
Code:<%'Dimension variablesDim adoCon 'Holds the Database Connection ObjectDim rsGuestbook'Holds the recordset for the records in the databaseDim strSQL'Holds the SQL query for the database'Create an ADO connection odjectSet adoCon = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")'Set an active connection to the Connection object using a DSN-less connectionadoCon.Open "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("guestbook.mdb")'Set an active connection to the Connection object using DSN connection'adoCon.Open "DSN=guestbook"'Create an ADO recordset objectSet rsGuestbook = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")'Initialise the strSQL variable with an SQL statement to query the databasestrSQL = "SELECT tblComments.Name, tblComments.Comments FROM tblComments;"'Open the recordset with the SQL query rsGuestbook.Open strSQL, adoCon'Loop through the recordsetDo While not rsGuestbook.EOF'Write the HTML to display the current record in the recordsetResponse.Write ("<br>")Response.Write (rsGuestbook("Name"))Response.Write ("<br>")Response.Write (rsGuestbook("Comments"))Response.Write ("<br>")'Move to the next record in the recordsetrsGuestbook.MoveNextLoop'Reset server objectsrsGuestbook.CloseSet rsGuestbook = NothingSet adoCon = Nothing%>
My friend told me that I need to alter the query string to something like this, but I can't get it to work:
Code:SELECT tblComments.Name, tblComments.Comments FROM tblComments WHERE tblComments.Name = Bruce ;
As you can tell I'm not a programmer but I can usually alter scripts to get them to do what I want. If I could get this figured this out I would be the happiest woman alive.

In a database that holds membership records, I have three years worth of info relating to membership dues paid. I want to extract who has not paid a membership fee for the last three years, so we can strike them off our records, i.e. I have members' personal details, but there are no records in the payments table, nothing has been entered because they just have not paid. Do I run a query looking for a zero length string? Just how do I achieve this? Have I done right in not entering anything?
Help appreciated!

Hey people,
This should be any easy one to solve:
I need to split a field in my query into two separate fields, e.g fullname into a first and last name, so "John Smith" will appear in two columns, "John" and "Smith".
Thanks in advance.

Hello, I have a query that returns a list of courses undertaken by certain employees. They are in the format NPTC CS 30; NPTC CS 31; NPTC 33; NPTC FTC 38; NPTC FTC 40 etc...
Anyway what I need to do with this is convert these results to a string and manipulate them in such a way that they can be displayed in a text box on the back of an ID card in the following format:
NPTC CS 30, 31, 33, NPTC FTC 38, 40... etc.
Because there is not enough room on the back of the ID card to use a subform to just display them in a list...

In MySQL I can use the LEFT(3, field_name) command, but I essentially want access to pull all records from a table where the the first three digits of a number field match those pre-selected by a form drop down.
This database is in Access 97. Is there a way to compare the first x number of digits using SQL only, or do I need to run each line through code first, and then check it (I really don't want to do that)?
example numbe rin field:
123456789
SQL checks to see if 123 matches value selected on a form.

Let's say I have a query like:
select [x]+[y] as A, [z]*[A] as B from MyTable.
I have found that sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't, (Like, it works the first time I run it, but later quits working....)so I've gotten into the habit of repeating my calculations and writing it thus instead:
select [x]+[y] as A, [z]*([x]+[y]) as B from MyTable.
However, I now have some query fields that have so many calculations in them that I exceed the string length that Access allows for a query field. So is there a way to make the shorter SQL work consistently?
Any ideas appreciated.
Thanks!
PS: Here's the field I need to shorten:
AdjFcstDay: IIf(((Sum([AvgDaily])*First([forecastweeks])*5+nz(First([backlog]),0))/(First([forecastweeks])*5))+IIf([wiptotal]<(IIf(First(CDbl(nz([dailystddev],0)))<=0,0,xlnormsinv(First([lowwipflag]))*First([dailystddev]))),((IIf(First(CDbl(nz([dailystddev],0)))<=0,0,xlnormsinv(First([lowwipflag]))*First([dailystddev])))-[wiptotal])/5,IIf([wiptotal]>(IIf(First(CDbl(nz([dailystddev],0)))<=0,0,xlnormsinv(First([highwipflag]))*First([dailystddev]))),((IIf(First(CDbl(nz([dailystddev],0)))<=0,0,xlnormsinv(First([highwipflag]))*First([dailystddev])))-[wiptotal])/5,0))<0,0,(Sum([AvgDaily])*First([forecastweeks])*5+nz(First([backlog]),0))+IIf([wiptotal]<(IIf(First(CDbl(nz([dailystddev],0)))<=0,0,xlnormsinv(First([lowwipflag]))*First([dailystddev]))),((IIf(First(CDbl(nz([dailystddev],0)))<=0,0,xlnormsinv(First([lowwipflag]))*First([dailystddev])))-[wiptotal])/5,IIf([wiptotal]>(IIf(First(CDbl(nz([dailystddev],0)))<=0,0,xlnormsinv(First([highwipflag]))*First([dailystddev]))),((IIf(First(CDbl(nz([dailystddev],0)))<=0,0,xlnormsinv(First([highwipflag]))*First([dailystddev])))-[wiptotal])/5,0)))

WHERE QPTActions.Entry_Date<=DateValue('1/2/2006') And QPTActions.Close_Date>DateValue('1/2/2006');
The Assigned_To values are a Lastname, Firstname format as they come out of the first database. But I need the comma stripped before they get entered into the INSERT database. Is it possible to do this on the fly?
