Blank Records In Access
Jul 10, 2015I have recently encountered some issues with my database. When I load data from an .xlsm file to my front end table, I get additional records with no data only the ID. The data I loaded comes in fine, however I get many of these records with no data only the ID. This only happens in one of my tables.

Reports :: Table With Several Entries - Merge Non Blank Records
Jun 24, 2013I have a report that is derived from a table (tblDocs) the structure of the table is:
EmpId docType docDate comments
(number) (number) (Date) (text)
This table will have several entries for each employee. There will only be a few times that a comment will be entered. On my report, I will have a field for the comments and I would like ALL of the comments for each employee combined into one text box in the report There will be blank entries in most of the records). I think the control source for this might be a query, but not sure. I set the properties of the text box to can grow.
Appending Records With A Desired Auto Number In A Table With Auto Number
Oct 26, 2005Here 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.

Queries :: Pulling Records Based On Blank / Non-blank Criteria
Jul 18, 2013I have a couple different reference files that get updated each week. Sometimes there are missing data elements, so I'd like to structure a select query to show me those records that have blank elements but I'd like the similar records to be pulled in as well, so I can make a determination as to how to populate the blank records..
See attached example: I have a client ID reference table that gets populated with forecast owner names (individuals responsible for the customer) from a couple of different sources. Sometimes there are names attached and sometimes the field is blank.
How can I structure a query to show me just those Client ID's that have multiple entries with blank AND non-blank forecast owners? I'd also like to exclude single/multiple records where there are only blank records...
Queries :: Update Table If A Field Is Blank Without Clicking Through All 5K Records
May 7, 2014I am putting the finishing touches on a DB and have come up with a a problem which I cannot solve. I have code on my data entry form that concatenated the days and times of up to five days. That is : [Day1] & " " & "@" & " " & Format([Time1],"h:nn AM/PM") & " " & ";" and so forth for five days. It has a complicated (for me) nested IIF statement and it works fine on the form. But I have now transferred the data from an old DOS DB and I do not want to go through almost 5K records just to update three fields.When I tried to do it in an update query, it said that the string was too long for the update. My update is:
IIf([Day5] Is Not Null,[Day1] & " " & "@" & " " & Format([Time1],"h:nn AM/PM") & " " & ";" & " " & [Day2] & " " & "@" & " " & Format([Time2],"h:nn AM/PM") & " " & ";" & " " & [Day3] & " " & "@" & " " & Format([Time3],"h:nn AM/PM") & " " & ";" & " " & [Day4] & " " & "@" & " " & Format([Time4],"h:nn AM/PM") & " " & ";" & " " & [Day5] & " " & "@" & " " & Format([Time5],"h:nn AM/PM"),IIf([Day5] Is Null And [Day4] Is Not Null,[Day1] & " " & "@" & " " & Format([Time1],"h:nn AM/PM") &
[code]...
how to update the table if a field is blank without clicking through all 5K records? I have tried simple concatenation, but I usually get a lot of extra @ in the field.
Query Criteria With Blank And Non-blank Text Records
Mar 13, 2007OK, I have been searching around on the fourm for over an hour now...I give up. If this is some where else, I am sorry.
I have a database of maintenance data. There are several columns that are usually filled in, some records have some columns blank. They are formated text because they hold letters and numbers (see pic).
I am using a form to query the table...no problem. The form has text boxes the user filter down the data
The problem comes are with the results of the query. Any record that has a blank column is not retuned. I am using "Like" so that the user can enter in partial codes. I know "like" won't return "null" records.... Help!
Things I have tried:
1)IIF(form field is blank, return table field, else use like command to filter) - returns nothing!
2)Like "*" & [Forms]![Fleetwide_data_Request]![MAL_CD] & "*" returns all records without blanks (i.e. missing data)
what else can I do?
Thanks
Reports :: Auto Generate Report Or Records From Table
Nov 5, 2013I have a table called bookings, three records within that table are;
arrivaldate
departuredate
breakfast
This Table (Bookings) is linked to the guest table via GUESTID..Assuming that a guest arrive on the 5th and leaves on the 10th, I am trying to create a breakfast voucher for the guest for each day of their stay.
So 5 vouchers, 1 each for the 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th.I have created the breakfast voucher as a report and a query to include data but I dont know how to propagate the new data to actually create the vouchers. All I can get is data for the arrival or departure fields.
Auto Creating Blank Fields
Jan 6, 2006I need to create a bunch of new records that will contain some existing data and some blank fields.... what I want it to look like:
ACCOUNT | NUMBER | PERIOD | AMOUNT
4G334223 123-224-2212 1/1/2006
4G334223 123-233-2334 1/1/2006
What I want is the query to pull the account and number from the db, then add the date in automatically (not the current date, just a specified criteria to signify jan 06, feb 06,etc) and leave the amount field blank (which I will then add in the corresponding values manually).
Auto Creating Record In One Table For Groups Of Related Records? + Stock Levels
Mar 23, 2008Hey guys,
OK, your gonna have to bare with me a little bit as its hard to explain and if any VB is given please add a few annotations as I have to explain everything i do in a report (doest have to be too detailed, just to make the code understandable :) ) and if it needs better clarification feel free to ask :), but basically, I have the following relationship set up:
http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/3246/relationnshipswd9.jpg
At the moment, because of the way it is set up, I cannot create a record in the transactions table unless an income record is given for it (because tb_income (one) to tbl_transactions (many)) but the way I want to work is as follows:
If you have a look at the tables tbl_transactions and tbl_income and their link. The way I want the system to work is when a new transaction is made, a new income record in the "tbl_income" table would be made with the date (in tbl_income) being the date at that particular time and all transactions created on the same date would all go in the subdatasheet for that one record created for that date; and if another transaction is made on an alternate date (say 00:00am of the next day) another income record would be created automatically with the date being of that particular day etc.
My other problem im facing is that everytime there is a transaction created, I want the stock level(s) field of products in that particular transaction to be decreased by the quantity purchased of that product but i have no idea how to do so
Any help?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Tables :: Auto-Fill Fields Based On Linked Table (Access 2007)
Jan 6, 2015I understand right off the bat if you're reaction is "don't duplicate data!!" -- mine would be too (don't fret, I know my normalization).
I've linked a table in my db to my Global Address Book in Outlook 2007 and, upon entering an employee number as a new record, would like to verify that the number entered is listed in the GAL and then pull in the associated name and location info.
The key is that I don't want this info to rely on the GAL going forward. For example, if an employee leaves or is no longer listed in the GAL, I don't want to lose the employee info (past data is needed for audit purposes). Note: I will be creating a report later to show if there are discrepancies between the GAL and my table, but that's another story...
So, what would be the best auto-fill options in Access 2007?
Append Records From An Access Table To SQL Server Linked Table
Jul 21, 2006I am rebuilding an application for a client and I have an Access table that I am using as a temporary table. Once the user is done entering information into the temporary table through a form, the user presses an update button that appends the records using an Append Query in Access to an SQL Server Table.
The following error message occurs:
"ODBC -- insert on a linked table 'linked tblname' failed.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] Explicit value must be specified for identity column in table 'linked tblname' when IDENTITY INSERT is set to ON. (#545)
I am using a form, subform combination to record a bill with many details. The bill summary is posted into a tbl_TransactionsMain table in SQL Server using the ADO AddNew method. The PK for the tbl_TransactionsMain is then entered into the temporary table in Access. When the temporary table records are appended into tbl_TransactionDetail the error message occurs.
What is also interesting is while typing out this post I thought to test the error by manually trying to run the query. The query worked like a charm! :confused: When the orginal error occurred off of the form I tried to run the query manually and it failed. I am guessing that this might have something to do with the ODBC timeout.
I think SQL Server/ODBC connection is not liking how I have a set of records in an Access table with foreign key numbers assigned when I am attempting to append the records. I am new to SQL Server and any ideas are most appreciated! :)
Deleting Blank Records Automatically
Dec 6, 2007When I import an excel spreadsheet into my Access database it always creates a couple of new blank records. I import this spreadsheet frequently so I would like to set up a macro that will automatically delete any blank records it creates. Can someone tell me specifically how to do this?
Thanks.:)
Insert Multiple Blank Records
Apr 26, 2006Hi,
I'm new to Access and I've run into a little problem. I've created a table with a primary key (autonumber) which will contain 1520 records. At present I only have data for the last 8 records. Ideally I would like to create 1512 blank records, with only the autonumber entered e.g. 0001, 0002, 0003 etc.
Unfortunately I cant add the data that I have got to 0001 - 0008 as it relates specifically to the primary ID.
Thanks.
Combo Box Blank When No Records On Form
Dec 30, 2005Hello,
I have an unbound combo box in the header of a continuous form. The box is set to value list, and when you select a value, the recordsource of the form is changed. This works fine.
However, if I there are no records in the underlying form, the combo box is blank. If I check the value in the immediate window or the after update, I can see that it is set properly and contains a value, it just doesn't display it. I am using Access 2000. I have tested on Access 2003 and cannot replicate the problem.
I have found one post here (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=84423&highlight=combo+box+blank) on the topic.
I found this (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;287478) article on Microsoft which has my symptoms, but I am not opening a recordset.
Anyone know how to fix this??
Prevent Insertion Of Blank Records
Nov 27, 2006I have a form that is opened by the following code:
Private Sub Status_AfterUpdate()
If Status.Value = "WIP - Snagged" Or Status.Value = "WIP - Suspended" Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "NotesJobChanged", , , acFormAdd
Forms!NotesJobChanged!txtJobNo.Value = Me!txtJobNo.Value
Forms!NotesJobChanged!Date.SetFocus
End If
This 'NotesJobChanged' form has three text boxes on it - JobNo, Date & Note. The JobNo is autofilled from the code above. If nothing is entered into the other fields and the form is closed this record is entered into the database with only the JobNo filled in.
What I want is a way to force the user to enter data into these fields. I don't want to set the 'Required' property of the field to yes as it generates an awful system error message. If the user attempts to close the form without filling it out can they be reminded that they have to, but with an option then to close the form if they really don't want to enter any data? If they do chose to close without filling it out can it be prevented from being added to the database.
Hope this makes sense :)
Many thanks in advance

Records With Null/blank Fields Only!??
Jun 8, 2005I'm working on a db logging replies to a questionnaire. Judging by the responses I am receiving it appears that some sections are not completed at all. I need to be able to include these blank responses when it comes to analysis.
My design splits the questionnaire into sections, each section has a data entry form with its own underlying table. Each table has a primary key (autonumber field) which relates to each organisation that has replied.
If an organisation has failed to complete a section, I still need to create a new record in that section(table), triggering the autonumber field, hence referring back to the organisation.
I know I haven't explained this very well, but if anyone can make sense of what I'm saying and can give me any suggestions on how to make this happen, I would be most grateful.
In anticipation of your replies

View 12 Replies View RelatedUsing Up Blank Records In Invoicing Database
May 6, 2015I have written an invoicing module for my program and some users in the office are dirtying a record and then leaving the module without completing the invoice. (This leaves behind an almost blank record with a period in one field or a space, etc). When someone else starts an invoice from another workstation it skips this almost blank invoice and starts a new one, skipping the almost blank one. Is there a way to check for these orphans automatically before using another invoice number. This happens once or twice a day so it is of concern to my bookkeeper who checks the sequence of invoices to make sure none are missing before posting them to the accounting program.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHow To Show All Records When Parameter Left Blank?
Feb 26, 2007Hi guys, I have a query that displays records that fall between 2 dates (using 2 input text fields). How can I make it dispaly all records if the user just leaves the dates blank?
I've searched through some forums and found that I can make this happen by using IS NOT NULL. But when I tried putting it in the OR row in my date field (and all other places), the result is that the query displays all records that have a date value regardless of my other filters.
Can anyone point me in the right direction where I should actually place the IS NOT NULL? I attached my Query view for easier understanding.
Thanks a lot!
Reports :: Getting Blank Lines If No Detail Records
Feb 26, 2014I am creating a report that is organized by project. The detail lines are to list payments applied to the project. How can I skip the detail section (or print a single blank line) if there are no payments in the separate payment table that match the project ID? Is there a way to tell that there were no matching payments and format accordingly? I currently get multiple blank lines.
