Breaking A Table Into Two Tables, Joining Them With A Query
Feb 17, 2006
Let's say that a table has been broken in two and I'd like to rejoin them with a query. Let's say 100 records in table1, 20 records in table 2. Here's a random example, I just made the names up off the top of my head:
PersonTable (100 records)
Person # (unique key)
Name
Address
SpouseTable (20 records)
Person # (lookup wizard to Table1, cascading edit/delete relationship, 1 to 1)
WeightOfSpouse
HeightOfSpouse
Many people aren't "married" and so have no corresponding value in the Spouse table. If I do an inner join on the two tables, on Person#, then it will cut the total # or returned records in the query to 20, to match the total in SpouseTable. Essentially, I want to append the results of SpouseTable to the end of the corresponding rows in PersonTable.
I have some experience doing 'Update Query' using two different tables but I'm having a hard time doing an 'Update Query' using 3 tables.
I have my source table TP05XY with the fields 'Mark' 'Date' 'UTM_Edig' and 'UTM_Ndig'. Mark and Date are my primary keys (they together uniquely ID each record). I have my Observations table with the fields 'Mark' 'Date' and 'Obs_ID'. The last table is Locations with 'Obs_ID' 'UTM_E' and 'UTM_N'.
I want to update my fields UTM_E and UTM_N from UTM_Edig and UTM_Ndig. However, to do so, I have to go from my TP05XY table, through Observations table to update Locations table. Table TP05XY is joined to Observations through 'Mark' and 'Date' and Observations table is linked to Locations through 'Obs_ID' field.
I have tried a few options without success ... anyone knows how to do it?
I've got a query that uses a key from one table to pull back records from another.
My question is...
On the table with the key there is another field that I want to use to pull back data from the same table from above.
A bit more info...
Table one holds colleagues details Table two holds records
Within table one there are 2 different fields that hold different ID's for the same colleague, currently I run two different queries to pull all data - I want to know if I can simply run one query that will return every thing?
I'm new to access. Basically I've put this formula in a field within my query(Query A):
PERIOD: [YEAR] & "-" & [Month Number]
And I want to use this newly created field "Period" to join another table (Table A) without having to create another query.
PERIOD(Query A) -> PERIOD(Table A) = Month Name (Table A)
I need the month Name from Table A but because Period(Query A) is a formula I created, I don't know any way of joining it to Table A without creating another query. Is there another way...

I have a situation where i need to import a table in Access which is in Excel, After importing i need to know how can i break it up differently keeping relation of FK and PK intact: E.g.
Excel Sheet:
Name Biz ID Biz Name Address1 Address 2 Address 3 OrderNo Order Date
Person Record ID(PK) Name Biz ID Biz Name Address 1 ....
I have an Access database that contains 2 tables. Both of these tables have the same structure and have the same field names. So:
Table 1 Fields :
Name Address Telephone Fax
Table 2 Fields :
Name Address Telephone Fax
Is there a way to write a query, that will show the results of both tables in one go. (None of the information in table 1 is duplicated in table 2 - I want to show all records from both tables in one new table). So, if both tables had 3 records each, the query would return:
These 2 tables need to be kept separate, so I can't copy and paste the records from Table 1 into the bottom of table 2. The field names are the same in both tables.
Hi All! I have two tables. Table Heffalump which has field "DealGroup" and other fields as well... and table 8-YTD Principal Investments whic has field "book" and other fields as well... I need to use BOOK and DEAL Group as a combination primary key to compare against table 8-YTD Principal Investments. If there is a new DEAL GROUP then append into table "8 - YTD Principal Investments"
I am building a simple task tracker to keep a record of tasks being passed back and forth between our team. The schema is fairly simple as illustrated in the image below.http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/f4f3a05c21.gifI want a recordset as follows out of this database (+/- few columns. But these are the most essential ones needed) -ixProject | Project.sTitle | ixTask | Task.sTitle | TaskHistory.dtEntry | sStatus | sEmployeeAssignor | sEmployeeAssigneeThis is basically a recordset of the history of the task (who assigned task to whom) and the status (assigned, resolved, closed). I can get the query to return the user id (ixEmployee) without any problems. But to display this in the interface I will need the employees name (sUsername).I tried the following query -SELECT Employee.sUsername AS sEmployeeAssignor, Employee.sUsername AS sEmployeeAssignee, Project.sTitle AS sProjectTitle, Task.sTitle, TaskHistory.dtEntry, TaskHistory.sDescription FROM(((Project INNER JOIN Task ON Project.ixProject = Task.ixProject) INNER JOIN (Employee INNER JOIN TaskHistory ON Employee.ixEmployee = TaskHistory.ixEmployeeAssignor)ON Task.ixTask = TaskHistory.ixTask)INNER JOIN Employee ON Employee.ixEmployee = TaskHistory.ixEmployeeAssignee <<< THIS IS THE PROBLEM LINE)WHERE (SELECT LAST(TaskHistory.ixEmployeeAssignee) FROM TaskHistory) = 1ORDER BY TaskHistory.ixTask, TaskHistory.ixTaskHistoryThis is the error I get -Join expression not supported.State:S1000,Native:-3530,Origin:[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]Can someone explain how I can solve this problem? I am currently running two queries - one to retrieve the usernames, and the other to retrieve the history with the user id's - and replacing the user id's with usernames when displaying the records, but would like to have a cleaner solution.
Hello! I need to join 2 tables, 1 table with all of the fields, and another with just 2.
The link between the 2 tables is an ID field in field 2 wich is long integer.
The problem is, the ID field in table 1 that correlates to the ID field in table 2, is in the datatype text.
I cant change the datatype of the field in table 1 because it is a linked table to a txt file. And some of the values in there are dashes, indicating no ID. (not sure why).
So, is there ANY way to link the2 tables with the 2 different datatypes
I need to do a join on two tables, one is in the current database, but the onther one is an another database. I am struggling with the syntax. Can anyone advise where I am going wrong? This is the code, but it says the usual 'Syntax error in FROM clause'

All table names , variable names, and paths are correct. Thanks for any suggestions (I am very new to SQL)
Hey everyone. I have this situation: I work for a veterinary company and I have a project which includes 4 tables.The first one has a list of all of our clients.The other 3 are : a table for the year 2004, one for 2005 and one for 2006. Not every client visits us every year and I need a query which will make certain action (different sorts of calculations) with the number of animals that we take care of.
To make it more clear: During 2004 one client with ID 12345 visited us with 3 animals. He didn't show up in 2005 but he came back in 2006 with 4 animals.
Trying to do so I joined the tables properly (in my opinion one-to many) and I only get the sum if a client has visited us for all the 3 years. If he appears in just two tables or one I don't get a result.

I am new to access and am having some problems. Here is what I have and what I want to do. I have one table that contains the ID number for a particular facility, facility name, and the sample location id number(s). Sometimes there is only one sample location id number and sometimes there are multiple. I have another table that has results of samples taken - it includes the facility id number, sample location id number, and the corresponding sample result. What I would like to do is join the data in the two tables so I have one table that shows takes the sample results from table 2 and combines it with the information in table 1.
simple join my Main Data Compiling Table and Secondary Table Delete from Main Data table (Located Under main Content Tables). Basically I want it to run like a flat data table which I cannot do because I have too many fields. I want ability to further expand it in the future.Somehow I need a one to one relationship with Referential Integrity enforced with cascade Update Related fields and Cascade Delete Related fields. Problem lies in it tries to create a one too many relationship.Both Main1ID and Main2ID are AutoNumber with Main One being primary key.
I have created a tabbed Navigation Form to show what is currently happening the first Tab is from Client Demographic Form generated by fields from Main Data Compiling Table and Second from Floral Information Form generated by fields from Secondary Table Delete From Main Data Table.
Hi I have 2 tables(tblA and tblB) and I want a query result(tblC) where ‘group by’ only one record per individual, with the total added together and the type starts with ‘01’. Below(tblA and tblB) are examples of the two table. TblC is the query result that I want. tblAName---Type---Amount---StatusJoe---01FAE---$10---NewJoe---01FBE---$10---NewLee---01FBE---$10---OldBob---30FBE---$30---NewtblBName---Type----Amount---StatusJoe----01FBE---$5------NewLee----01NAE---$20-------OldLee----30FBE--$30------NewtblCName---Type---AmountJoe---01FAE---$25---NewLee---01FBE--$30---OldI have tried linking/joining, adding SUM function, First, Group By, etc. but all the results came out to be all different. Also, am I support to add a ‘join’ of tblA to tblB on BOTH the NAME and TYPE? I am so confused! Please help.Thank you very much. Joe
How do I join 3 tables in Access using INNER JOIN query. I have a product tabel which is related to a subcategory table, which in turn is related to category table. I want to display the product along with the main category (not the sub category) it belongs to. My "SELECT * FROM products p INNER JOIN subcategory s ON p.subcatID = s.subcatID INNER JOIN category c ON s.catID = c.catID" query is returning error in ASP.
I have two tables say Daily and Master, and now I want to update the Daily table and add two additional fields in this table based on the data from the Master table.
How would I go about joining tables with similar fields? I currently have three tables that show standings of teams (East, Central, and West). They all have the same fields:
East Team Name Wins Losses Ties Points For Points Against
Central Team Name Wins Losses Ties Points For Points Against
West Team Name Wins Losses Ties Points For Points Against
How would I combine them in a query so that all of the data from the tables are compiled into one table:
Overall Standings (East/Central/West) Team Name Wins Losses Ties Points For Points Against
I have a number of tables with different metrics. However, they all have a "Date" field in common, broken out at the daily level. Since some of my tables have different start and end dates, I'd like missing values to simply appear as "N/A". How I would do this with SQL?
I've attached a screenshot of the layout I'm going for. Each metric field (i.e. "Metric1", etc.) would be pulled in from a different table.
I need to keep these separate, because the first table is also a transaction log.I created a query that pulls:'Serial Number' From Table1 and 'Warehouse' , 'Bin Number' from Table2. I also joined the tables by 'Serial Number' with Include All from Table1.
I made a form that gets all of the information from the query and adds combo boxes to allow users to enter data with less error. But the 'Serial Number' field of Table2 is never populated. Is there a better way? I do want to say that I have somehow accomplished this before but I can't figure out how I did it before.
I would like to have Table2 auto populate one row at a time as I enter locations into the form. I'm dealing with half a million records in Table1 and not all 'Serial Number' are valid/exist now.
(I know I posted this question before, but I fear it may have gotten lost in a thread so I am starting a new one)
I have created a multi-field pkey with the ModelDescription and VersionNumber fields. I did it the way that didn't require code as I could not find any online and am not versed enough in VB to do it on my own. I just highlighted both the fields and pressed the "Key" button.
My question is linking the tables. Should I just join them via the ModelDescription field? It won't let me join on both fields. Is it going to matter which field (ModelDescription vs. VersionNumber) I use to join the tables? I've never run into the need to have a multi-field pkey before.
I have a query joining two tables. TableInvoice in the query is Product number and Date purchased. TablePrices contains the same fields and contains prices (quarterly) over the past five years.
Joined by PONumber, I want the query to find the price charged for that date. Right now, if the Product number (TableInvoice) is not listed in TablePrices, it won't show. So, 100 Records might return only 80 if TablePrices does not have all of the Product numbers.
Is there a better way to return all 100 records in TableInvoice and show (Blank) price data if the item is not in TablePrices?
