Archiving Records From Two Tables

Nov 24, 2006

I have a database for tracking tasks. each task may have associated documents for it which are kept in a separate table.

I have an archiving procedure which takes closed or completed tasks (from the main table) and appends them to an archive table but it leaves the associated documents in the second table, or if I enforce integrity it will delete them.

Anyone have a suggestion on how i can archive records from two tables at the same time I include the archive code for your information....

Many Thanks as always for your help and assistance

Archiving Records

Oct 3, 2006

Hi guys

I need some help working out a way to archive records. All i really want is a button on a form that when clicked deletes the record currently displayed on the form from its table and moves it to another table that i will call 'archives'.

I think it might have something to do with using an append query but i cannot think how to do it.

Thanks in advance.

Archiving Records

Jul 24, 2006

Hi to everyone. I was assigned to collect all data regarding the electronic equipment of the firm that I work for and I just need a push to start with :D

My thought is to create 3 tables (one containing the users, another one containing info about the equipment and a third one to be something like an archive or a log...e.g. this monitor is now currently being used by me but in the past somebody else had it).

I am not quite sure how to do this (the archiving I mean...) Any help is welcome

Thanks...

Archiving Old Records Through A Form

Dec 11, 2007

I'm not even sure which forum to put this in, as it involves a form, two tables, some queries, and possibly a macro. I've poked around the message boards here and haven't quite found a method that works for my situation. So here we go!

I have a recruiting database that I've developed for some other users in the office who are not Access builders. They have asked if there is a way to archive old records into another table for safekeeping, which I can do through the database window, but which they probably couldn't. I want to give them the ability to tuck these records away as needed, and without them having to ask me to do so every time.

The main table in the DB is called tblPosition. There is a form called frmPositionManagement which is bound to this table. It's through this form that the recruiters make all their updates and whatnot to records stored in tblPosition. I also have a table called tblArchive which I have created using the exact same fields as tblPosition so I can store the outdated records there.

I'm looking for a programmatic way to do this. I was hoping to put a button on frmPositionManagement that would let the user remove that record from tblPosition and send it to tblArchive. I had figured on creating a macro (mcoArchive) that took the following steps:

* MsgBox "Are you certain you want to archive this record?"
* Run an Append Query to add the selected record to tblArchive
* Run a Delete Query to remove the record from tblPosition
* Close the Append Query
* Close the Delete Query

Then I started building those two queries and the macro, and the wheels fell off my brain.

The difficulty I'm having is getting the system to say to itself, "The record currently displayed on the frmPositionManagement is the one I need to append and delete." I have a specific record selected on the form, so how do I pass that record's unique ID through to the two queries to make this record the one which is appended/deleted?

I had tried setting the criteria for the unique key in the Append/Delete queries to =[frmPositionManagement]![AutoID], but that just led to a pop-up box that asked me to input frmPositionManagement!AutoID, which is not what I wanted at all.

My VB isn't all that great, so I was trying to stick to macros, but if someone has an idea for a programmatic solution for this conundrum, I'd appreciate hearing it!

Thanks,
Andreas

Queries :: Archiving Data From Multiple Tables

Jun 24, 2013

I have a database with employees. The tables are as follows:

Deptdatatble
Depttble
Emptble
HRtble
Servicetble
Servicedatatble
Archivetble
Classestble
Classdatatble

At certain times, I want to archive employees out (lets say they are terminated). When I do this, something strange happens. If an employee has 4 records in the servicedata table and 4 records in the Classdata table, then it exports out 16 records (4 x 4). I would expect it to export out 8 records.

Archiving

Jul 20, 2005

I have an application which creates 200 rows a day. As you can imagine the tables get big very quickly. Is there a mechansim that I can use to archive off the tables to a new seperate database rather than to a table in the same database. I would like to perfom this by allowing the user to click on a button and perform the archiving automatically.

my users are non technical and requesting them to perform any tasks behind the scenes would not be an option.

Anyone any experience of doing this ?

Thanx in Advanz.
Niall.

I have no idea how to even begin an archive. Can anyone give some direction? I've spent two days searching the web and trying to understand the Microsoft website directions along with Access for dummies.

Archiving Basics ???

Jul 6, 2005

Hi Guys,

Im about to create a button on a form that will archive the current record to an archive table.....

The question is, Before I start to look into this, I would just like to clarify what I do.

I assume firstly I would need to make an exact copy of my current table, them remove all data, then change name to something like "tbl_archive_data"
( this would be to hold the archive info right ? )
Once I have done this, I`m assuming i`ll have to make some sort of query that will copy the data to the new table, then delete the record from my current table ?
Then I`ll have to create a button on my form, which can be cliocked on by the user to archive this particualr record...

In a nutshell, would this be sort of the correct way to do this ???


Any recommendations/advice will be much appreciated on this.

I know there is already some archive details in the forum, but none of them really made much sence, as they were answers to problems with this already half done....

Thanks in advance guys.

Moving/ Archiving Data

Jul 24, 2006

Hi all,

currently on my db it stores data on various projects, and these projects are sorted by a status of on hold, on going, or finished. What im trying do is move only the projects that are finished but still keeping a record of them so we can view them in the future.

i was thinking maybe i could move the finished projects into another db? but not sure how to do, or is there a better way to achieve this?

thank you

Archiving Data Each Time It Is Updated

Jun 27, 2005

Hi, I have a form which is made up for 3 tables and I am trying to create an append query for each one in order to keep records of data before it is updated. The append queries seem to work but they append all data rather than just one selected record. I know I will next need to create a macro which can be used each time a record has been updated and a copy is sent to the archive. Can anyone help me with this, or have any useful suggestions?

Thanks.

Modules & VBA :: Archiving Data - Table Structures Are Identical

Jul 26, 2013

I'm trying to create an archiving routine as my database is becoming very large. For about 10 tables I want to shift certain records to an external database which would have the required 10 tables with the same table names and structure.

So far so good. I now want to automate everything using vba. I can see how to use the INSERT INTO statement but I don't want to have to name every field as there are hundreds. I just can't see how to do this.

If the table structures are identical how do I neatly shift a bunch of records from one to the other using code.

How To Set Criteria For Archiving Data Using Form-based Parameters

Dec 4, 2012

I'm trying to create an archiving system, where i use a simple Append Query followed by a Delete Query.

A typical criteria for the Append Query is less than Date()-30...so any records older than 30 days can be appended to an archive table. This works fine when i enter it in the Query Design criteria row.

But, I would like to make this user-defined. I have set up an unbound form as shown in the first attachment...and made a global variable entitled 'ArchiveDays'. I am hoping to use the variable to act as the criteria for the append criteria. (Please note that in the screendump...they can select an option button if they just want to stick to 1 month old. I also show you my assignment operations there).

My question is... how do i get the variable 'ArchiveDays' value to be the criteria for my append query....

Tables :: Linking Records In One Table To Multiple Records In Another And Assign Percentage?

Nov 21, 2012

I have a table (tbl Team Info) which contains names and codes for teams within my business (>400 records) and another table (tbl Process) which contains a list of high level tasks (30 records).

I need to create something where for each team name 9in tbl Team Info) I can map them to the tasks that they undertake (in tbl Process) and assign a percentage of time then spend on each task. Each team could map to several different tasks.

Tables :: How To Combine Records Of Three Tables Into One Table

Jul 30, 2013

I have three tables. I want to combine all the records in these tables into one table. I need VBA code to do this. The first table is called down1, the second table is called down2 and the third table is called down3. All these tables contain the same fields so I don't think combining them will be a problem.

Tables :: Deleted Records In One-to-one Tables

Apr 25, 2014

My db includes two tables, Employees and Users, both with a pk of EmpNum (Autonumber in Employees; Number in Users). Users is a subset of Employees, and in the Users table, the row source for EmpNum is a query of the Employees table. I had a relationship defined with a one-to-one between the two tables, but did not have Enforce Referential Integrity or Cascade selected.

The problem is, I deleted a record out of Users, but it also automatically deleted the related Employees record. Re-creating the employee was quite the task because all related records in several other tables also disappeared. I experimented by deleting the relationship between the two tables and then deleting another user, but it still deleted the related employee. How can this be? The two tables are no longer linked, other than the Users EmpNum lookup.

Tables :: Moving Records Between Tables?

I have been tasked with creating a simple database for work.

Basically the table tracks the progress of various employment checks. So example headings are Name, CRB, Occupational Health etc. Now basically, once all the checks are completed, I need the record to be moved to another table named 'Live'.

Is there any easy way to achieve this, or will i have to manually move each record once the checks have been completed.

Copying A Set Of Records Across Several Tables To Same Tables With A Few Changes

Apr 8, 2015

There is one main policy table, and a collection of related tables that store information associated with each of the policies (coverage amounts, agents, etc). What I'm struggling with though is where they renew every so often (most times it's each year, but some go three or more years). Because I need the database to show everything EXACTLY as it was on each policy term, even expired ones, I don't want to just edit the existing records when policies renew; I need to create a copy of the ENTIRE record (across all related tables), but with a new PK, and the ability for users to change a few items, such as the policy number and effective dates.

There are two keys that I use to identify policies: one is the PK, which is an auto# that will need to change, and the other is a small text ID set when the policy is first issued, in order to make sure that even when policy numbers change from year to year, we can always track the history, so of course that one will need to remain the same. If I have the user click a "Renew" button on the policy view form that goes to a small form that takes what changes I want to allow and converts those into variables, could I then use those variables in a query, and have it copy all of these related records, with the other tables taking the new PK from the main table to keep the overall policy record linked?
