Appending To A Table From A Query
Jan 4, 2006
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?

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?

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!

I am developing a database for incoming inspection. I have set up two tables, one with spec callouts per product and the other table contains fields where I want the specs from the tblSpec table to be Append into the tblMeasurement table. Now, within the tblMeasurement table (where I am trying to append specs from the tblSpecs table into), I also have additional fields for actual measurements from received goods.
My plan is as I go through and select the Vendor, it populates the associated products to that vendor (no problem there). When I want to select the product, I would like the specs from the tblSpecs to dumped into the tblmeasurement table that correlates to that product on the form.
How can I have this automatically append after selecting the product? I am not sure if I have my relationships set up correctly or not, but I cannot see to append when I am trying to execute this function while in Query view.
I have the db attached in a zipped format.

I am assisting my employer by combining two databases into one. Both databases have the same field "structure" but the data differs. When creating my append query.

I have to import a file from an external website into a table (tableA) that I have established. The issue is that I don't need all that data, just specific ones (the website does not allow me to select the specific data to export). I created another table (tableB) to capture the data that I require for my report.
How do I take raw data from tableA to append to tableB the required fields that I want?

Hi
I am trying to write an update query which will return a value within a new table, based on a date in my import table.
The date format is dd/mm/yyyy and I want to return the month in another column (ie 01 to 12).
To complicate matters, I want to return a value based on some additional logic. My invoice statements run on a cycle of 17th of the month to the 16th of the next month.
So if a date value in a line item of text in table 1 says 17/11/2007 to 16/12/2007, I want the value returned in my new column to be 11. If the date range is from 17/12/2007 to 16/01/2007 then I want the value returned as 12.
My American colleague wrote the following expression, but due to the different way we write dates in Europe, can't quite get this to work.
Expr1: IIf(Day([call date])<17,Month([call date])-1,Month([call date]))
I'd be grateful for any thoughts.
best regards
Mulhouse.

I have rather complex select statement (at least for me) that produces a summary of how a team scored in a league competition that week. I would not even worry about this issue, except that people float around as alternates and I deduced it would be easier to compute and store scores for a team the week they shot with a given group of people versus keeping track of who shot on what team over a 10 week period.
The selection takes 40 individual scoring records and consolidates them into 10 team summary records. I have verified that the query works, but implementing it has turned into a problem.
Problem one: my knowledge of recordsets is almost purely theoretical at this point, having never worked with them. Therefore commands and structures are a problem - mainly, I'm not sure what code is needed to post a recordset to a table
Problem two: the select statement that works as an Access query is bombing in VB
My code to date:
Dim RS As Recordset
Dim DB As Database
Dim strSQL As String
Dim inpWeekNum As Integer
inpWeekNum = 0
'InputBox "Enter Week Number" 'eventually request week number from user. an integer from 0-9
'strSQL = "SELECT tblRoster.* FROM tblRoster WHERE (NIGHT = 'Fri');" 'a test str. this worked.
strSQL = "SELECT tblRoster.TEAM, tblScores.WeekNo, " & _
"Sum([A1T1]+[A1T2]+[A1T3]+[A2T1]+[A2T2]+[A2T3]+[A3T1]+[A3T2]+[A3T3]) AS TeamTotal," & _
"Sum([A1T2X]+[A1T3X]+[A2T2X]+[A2T3X]+[A3T2X]+[A3T3X]) AS TeamXs" & _
"FROM tblRoster LEFT JOIN tblScores ON tblRoster.HEDR = tblScores.HEDR" & _
"GROUP BY tblRoster.TEAM, tblScores.WeekNo HAVING (((tblScores.WeekNo)=0))" 'hardwired week number
' "GROUP BY tblRoster.TEAM, tblScores.WeekNo HAVING (((tblScores.WeekNo)=inpWeekNum))" 'user prompted week number
Set DB = CurrentDb()
Set RS = DB.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
Do While Not RS.EOF
'Appending Code here... 'obviously missing code, but I know that it does cycle through as I would expect it to.
RS.MoveNext
Loop
'This was a previous test based on a canned qry I had saved (that resembles the above qry.
' this successfully posted, but only one record
'DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO [tblTeamScores](TeamNo, WeekNo, TeamTotal, TeamXs) " &_
' "VALUES (" & TEAM & ", " & WeekNo & ", " & TeamTotal & ", " & TeamXs & ")"
The select statement correctly produces this output in Access (for Week 0):
TEAM WeekNo TeamTotal TeamXs (how does one properly post a table in this interface?)
1 0 2397 182 0 3152 333 0 3292 664 0 2014 135 0 2836 186 0 3652 577 0 2024 198 0 1108 29 0 2630 2210 0 1977 11
Anyone out there have some suggestions? Am I even on the right track?
Thanks.
-Brian.

I currently have an unnormalized table that consists of individuals (employee profiles) which currently has a field for attachments. I am using the "attachments" for photographs of each employee however I dont want to maintain photographs for former employees, or if I do not forever. I was told to normalize the table by removing the "attachment" field and placing it in a new table with referene to the employeeID.
Since I currently have something like 200+ records where I want to relocate the employee picture, i tried to create a make table query off the origional table and only referencing the employeeid and "attachment" to the new table however I keep getting an error when running the query. The error indicates something to the affect of having multiple values.

Hi,
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!!!
Thanks in advance...

I want to import an Excel spreadsheet into a table in my Access DB.
I am using following: DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, 0, "tblSchedule", "C:mailinimport.xls", false
This code works but it is appending to the table.
What is the best way to update the table - or would it be best to delete the old table and then to create a new one to import tha data into?
If the latter would be most elegant solution, can anyone help with some code that would do this ?
Thanks
Mat

I have a linked ODBC table in my database that contains data like this -
Code:
Task Serial CrewAmount
00_INSTALL ENGINE INTO PEDESTAL STAND 707308AS30.2
00_INSTALL ENGINE INTO PEDESTAL STAND 707308OMB0.2
01_BORESCOPE INSPECTION 706496AS114.24
01_BORESCOPE INSPECTION 706496AS223.24
[Code] .....
What I would like to do is remove the duplicate values for the Task field, but show how much time each Crew has spent on each Task per Serial. The end result would look like this -
Code:
Task SerialAS1AS2AS3OMAOMB
01_BORESCOPE INSPECTION 70649614.2423.2428.78
00_INSTALL ENGINE INTO PEDESTAL STAND 7073080.20.2
01_INSTALL OIL TANK 7073085.67
[Code] ....
What is the best way to achieve this result? I've played around with Append queries, union queries etc, but nothing seems to give me the result I'm after.

Hi,
I need to grab a record from an input table/record set and de-concatenate it based on the underscore and append each instance to an output table. I know this must be possilbe, we do simular things in GIS programming all the time. Below is my "logic"/psuedo code :)
'loop until end of file
strColumnA = tblNewRelationships.PLACE
strColumnBin = tblNewRelationships.NAMES
'loop until strColumnBout is ""
strColumnBout = Left(strColumnBin, Find("_", strColumnBin, 1) - 1)
strColumnBchop = Right(strColumnBin, Len(strColumnBin) - Len(strColumnBout) - 1)
strSQL = "" 'put strColumnA into tblRelationships_2.PLACE and strColumnBout into tblNewRelationships.NAME
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL
strColumnBin = strColumnBchop
'end field loop
'end row loop
Any help is seriously appreciated.
Thanks,

I have a table in MS Access 2010 that is a link to an external data file in .csv format. I assumed that it was not possible to append data to a linked table until recently. I appended 3 records to the linked table and discovered that the 3 records were appended to the table and the external data file it was linked to.
What am I missing ?

I'm having trouble appending an excel sheet into my access table.
I have 8 columns in my excel sheet:
1- full_name (short text)
2- alias (short text)
3- email_address (short text)
4- user_ID (short text)
5- Location (which is annotated using numbers 1,2,3,4 etc.) (number)
6- active (yes/no)
7- TRI (yes/no)
8- Another user ID (Short text form)
I am trying to append this data to an existing table in excel with the EXACT same column names.
I can append each column from my excel sheet separately and they will appear on the access table, but once I try to append all of the columns at the same time, so the records are not placed in different rows, I get a message saying "Script out of Range"
I cannot seem to figure it out since they can be uploaded individually.
Just to clarify, the excel columns are formatted to the access columns.

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?
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a174/ragrim3/relationships.jpg
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.
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a174/ragrim3/blah.jpg
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 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 have a table that contains a primary key and I am trying to append records from a text file. When I go to append the records, it tell me that XXX amount of records were lost due to key violations. Shouldn't access be able to figure out how to create new ID's on newly appended data?

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?

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,

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!
