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
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.

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

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also have a table called tblArchive which I have created using the exact same fields as tblPosition so I can store the outdated records there.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!
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.
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. The only thing I can find is something about using Products_Appends and Products_Delete queries.
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....
i created an audit trail in my DB... i do need to submit reports reflecting the relevant changes made.... however, i notice that the report can be very lengthy if not renewed every month.... can i archive these trails.. on a mthly basis? if yes.. how ? if not... is there anything else i can do?
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?
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?
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.
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.
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....
In an Access 2010 form is it possible to export select records and fields in those records to a specific location?
Code: Set objDialog = Application.FileDialog(4) With objDialog .AllowMultiSelect = False .Title = "Please select a File" .InitialFilename = "C:" .Show If .SelectedItems.Count = 0 Then MsgBox ("Action Cancelled") Else
[code]....
The user can select the directory using the code above, but can specific fields in records be exported to a excel workbook in that selected directory?For example, if the are 5 records in the database can the fields LastName,FirstName,BirthDate in records 1,2,3 be exported to Setup.xlsx in that selected directory?
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.
In my simple database (attached), I need to mass duplicate Tasks and their Notes.
I have three tables: tbTasks (PK: Task_ID), tbNotes (PK: Note_ID), jtbTaskNotes (FKs: Task_ID and Note_ID). jtbTaskNotes is my many-to-many junction table that ties Tasks to Notes.
The main form (fmTasks), bound to tbTasks, has a subform (sbfm_TaskNotes) that displays notes associated with each Task. On themain form,you select which Tasks you want duplicated via a checkbox. The append query (quCopyTasks) will duplicate all tasks that have the checkbox checked. All good there. However, I can't figure out how to also duplicate each task's Notes.
I found Allen Browne's solution [URL] ....., but that only handles duplication of one record at a time, whereas I need to duplicate many records at a time (sometimes 10+ records). How do I go about duplicating multiple Tasks and their associated Notes?
Before you ask "why are you duplicating records?": There are times when tasks need to be re-accomplished and therefore need to have a new record. It's easier to duplicate records than it is to hand-jam everything again.
One shows my form with the Transporters Subform with 3 entries, and 1 entry.The three line items that say "Transporter" are in one subform. I used this code
Code: Private Sub Form_Current() If Me.RecordsetClone.RecordCount >= 3 Then Me.AllowAdditions = False End If End Sub
to limit the number of records I can add to 3 or less.My issue is that I lost the blank text box that allows you to add another record. So, if I only have one Transporter listed, there's no box to let me add a second or third.I have the following properties for the Transporters Subform set to "Yes":
Data Entry Allow Additions Allow Deletions Allow Edits Allow Filters
I have built a qry that initially shows the correct information. For example.
tblContent has 289 records with a Type = Class.
I built a Query to select from tblContent Type = Class and I get 289 records. I add additional criteria of Progress <>"Not Scheduled", I then get 206 records. I then add additional criteria Last Name <>"Demo" And <>"Care" And <>"Support". This brings up 200 records, but the query appears to duplicate each record 3 times. I do not have 3 of the same types of records.
The SQL Statement is below
SELECT tblProfile.LoginName, tblProfile.FirstName, tblProfile.LastName, tblProfile.Organization, tblProfile.CostCenter, tblContent.Title, tblContent.Type, tblContent.Code, tblContent.[Date Assigned], tblContent.[Date Started], tblContent.[Last Accessed], tblContent.Progress, tblContent.[Date Completed] FROM tblProfile INNER JOIN tblContent ON tblProfile.LoginName = tblContent.LoginName WHERE (((tblProfile.LastName)<>"Demo" And (tblProfile.LastName)<>"Care" And (tblProfile.LastName)<>"Support") AND ((tblContent.Type)="Class") AND ((tblContent.Progress)<>"Not Scheduled"));
The qry is named qryPhysical Class. I have provided the link to view the database. Can you help me?
All seemed to be working well, however, I noticed that all my subtable records in the database are exporting with each Primary table record. In my output, I'm looking to see each primary table record followed by one or more subtable records from a one to many relationship.
(Office 2010) Access/Word
Private Sub cmdPrint1_Click() Dim objWord As Word.Application Dim docm As Word.Document Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rstLandSales As DAO.Recordset
Dim dbs As DAO.Database, sql As String, rCount As Integer Set dbs = CurrentDb sql = "DELETE * dbo_InvPrice Inner Join (dbo_InvPrice Inner Join UpdatedPricing on dbo_InvPrice.StockCode = UpdatedPricing.StockCode ) ON on dbo_INvPrice.PriceCode = UpdatedPricing.PriceCode " dbs.Execute sql, dbFailOnError
I have a form which needs update ever month. When the form is opened, the end user can see the old records and data, and also a new record is added for any new data. I want to protect the old saved data and the user can only add, edit, or delete the new data in the newly added record. The problem is once a user adds the new data and moves to another record or another form, then he/she cannot edit or change the new data in case if there is any mistake or need to change something after couple of minutes.
I changed the Form Data Properties "Allow Additions", "Allow Edits", and "Allow Deletions" many different times and situations to solve this problem but with no success. I tried the following with NO success too: One of the Fields of the Record is (Month). In the Data Properties, I set a Default Value for this field as(December 2014) for instance. I set the Data Properties "Allow Additions", "Allow Edits", and "Allow Deletions" to (Yes). Then I put the following code in the Form's Current Event:
Private Sub Form_Current() If Me.month.Value = "December 2014" Then Me.AllowAdditions = True Me.AllowEdits = True Me.AllowDeletions = True
So looking at the tables, C1 = 2 C2 = 4+6 = 10 B2 = C1 + C2 + D4 = 20 A1 = 20 + 10 = 30
Here, there are 4 levels that I have to go into to get the grand total. If I did not know how many levels there were, how would I be able to do this through code? through queries if possible??
If anyone could help, that would be great! Thank you in advance.
