I have two tables that have the exact same structure. They both started with the same data, but each were changed separately. (Two copies of the same DB, editted separately). I need to review the data in each record and determine what has changed or if records have been added. Is there an easy way for me to do this? (Note: Each record does have a primary key)
View RepliesI have a feed from ODBC to Access DB. I need to populate several new tables with the contents of the original table. I know I'm being stupid but it's been a long week.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI inherited a database that has two tables that are structured identical; one called tblcurrentdata and the other called tblpriordata. The user wants a report or export query that only shows records that has differences between prior weeks data and the current weeks data. The tables have 12 fields of data in a record per quote number. The user wants a query or report to identify the QuoteNum and any changes between the prior and current records. The table structures are as follows:
Code:
tblCurrentData/tblPriorData:
QuoteNum
CoName
State
ZipcodeNo
priorityColor
[code]...
QuoteNum 12345 field 5 (prioritycolor) changed from red in the prior week to green in the current week and field 7(POC) changed from Scott in the prior week to Jonson in the current week.QuoteNum 23451 did not have any changes therefore does not need to be listed in the query/report Unmatched query doesnt work because it does not compare multiple fields. I tried to structure a union query and use <> in each field but got too tedious and didnt give the expected results.
Greetings to All,
I have one table (tblLink) that resides on an SQL Server quite a distance from me. I have another table (tblLink_r) that resides in a local .mdb file. The tables are identical except for the data they contain and where they are located. Only one index (LinkIdx=autonumber) exists. I am making sure there are no duplicate indicies in the LinkIdx fields because I started the LinkIdx field in tblLink_r at 2100000000.
When I open tblLink (remote), I can scroll to the end of the 21,000 records relatively quickly - read: little latency. Queries performed on this table similarly show little latency.
When I open tblLink_r, I also have little latency. This table has 100 records.
I need a single object which contains the contents of tblLink and tblLink_r. I have tried a UNION ALL, but this query takes upwards of 4 minutes to complete which I can't understand since either of the constituent tables only take ~.5 seconds to call up.
I am hoping someone can provide a way to speed up the UNION ALL query or provide an alternate means to combine the contents of these tables.
Situation:
Have 2 Tables that contain the same information, one table was used during registration and had the Data changed
Question:
How do I pull a comparison query to match the registration table to the Main table and pull only the data that is different so I can update the main table with the new Information? :confused:
hello, i have checked out the forum for pevious Q's to this problem and found the below.
http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=80692&highlight=compare+tables
only problem is thats its writen at a bit too technicle a level from where i am. i've done some investigation into the problem though.
found out i need to use the docmd.transferdatabase function to import the tables i need to compare into my current db.
my question is this. how does it import them, does it create new tables within the current db or is it put somewhere in temp memory for use only while db is open, not sure how it would work. ideally i would like it to import tables, do the table comparison then create a report of the differences or make a new table showing the differences, then it reverts back to how it was before i imported it. i.e. he current databse is unchanged except for maybe a new report or new table (the results).
thank you for any advice.

Hi,
I need to compare 2 tables with Same Structure in a Database and pull out records that are not matching in both the tables. As anyone done similar task in Access 2002, if so please let me know how this can be accomplised.
I have company names in 2 tables to compare, but the data is slightly different but same companies. I want to know what companies are in one table but not in another. Here's an example:
Company Name in Table 1 = Virtual Micro
Company Name in Table 2 = Virtual Micro Technologies
Same company, but the spreadsheet I imported for Table 2 had the full name for the company, so therefore they are not compared the same and the query result shows them to be different.
Do they have to be exactly the same, or can I compare a certain number of characters or somehow use the "like" criteria filter?

Hello to all. The problem that I am faced with is that I have a master list with all the current users and an updated list with all the current users and new users. What I have been asked to do is to compare the information in these two tables and have been given the following steps.
1. If name (surname, first name) exists in both lists do nothing.
2. If name exists in Update list but not in Master list then insert a blank row in the Master list and add the following Update list fields to this row: ¨
3. If name does not exist in the Update list then remove the entire row that contains that name from the Master list.
4. If 2. condition ("name exists in Update list but not in Master list") below applies, then insert the blank row with some kind of marker (e.g. "*") in a column on the far left. This will allow us to distinguish between:
So that is what I have to do can someone please tell me what a quick to do this in access would be. Thanks
It need to compare two tables where the ID Number is not equal. Specifically I need to update new poducts in a table, but only those ID#s that are not already listed.
I know how to compare two feilds where they are not equal...
i.e. [New_Table].[ITEM_NUM]<>[Old_Table].[ITEM_NUM]
...but I'm currently limited by the join properties in the tables, since I'm comparing IDs and not the feilds. ANY IDEAS?
I work in retail and am trying to compare items that are on auto-replenishment for a particular location to items that the location should have in their retail assortment to make sure that all of their items are on auto-replenishment. I need to also perform the comparison backwards to find out if any items are on auto-replenishment that should not be because they are not carried in the location's retail assortment.
I have attached a file below that shows the files I am working with. The first tab "items on replen" show the item # (in text and general formats) along with the location number, the min and the max. The 2nd tab "POG's by Center" show the retail planograms assigned to each center. The location# is at the top of the file and the planogram numbers fall below each location #. The 3rd tab shows the items on each planogram. The first thing I need to do is convert the planogram # into items on each planogram in each center. This is what I would need to use to compare to the items on replen.
I am in the process of revamping an old database. I have a main table that currently has two fields "Name" and "Job" but will have more. I have another table with the same fields. I want to use as a lookup to populate the main table with a user form from the second table. I can populate the "Name" field using a combo box, but my problem is how to autopopulate the "Job" field. E.g. If the user selects Mr Smith from the "Name" drop down list, the corresponding "Job" populates the second field.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
I'm trying to compare partial text records across two tables.
The first table simply has a description, such as:
DescriptionHammer
Bone Saw
Power Saw
The second table is a list of terms and a category, such as:
Term, Category
Hammer, 1
Saw, 2
I'm looking to build a query will compare the two and assign each description a category based on the partial match. It seems like this should be fairly easy to do, but I'm struggling to find anything to point down that path.
Any ideas?

I need to look at any changes and updatein the master table, is there a way to do this.(I cannot change the import as its the only way i can get the data)
I have an access application that I've developed and given to people and now i'd like to update it.

I have Access 2010 tables linked to Sharepoint 2010 lists and my table becomes disconnected when I run a delete query on the table in Access.
I can append the table and Sharepoint stays connected.
Can I do an append that deletes the previous contents of the table?
I would like to compare 2 tables by looking only at the names of the fields, data types and their properties (e.g. required yes/no). I am searching for a method to export this information to another table and then make comparison. Maybe sth. similar to “documenter” or another tool. Some ideas would very much appreciated. Thanks Bartek.

I have a table with a list of required software and a table with a list of computers and the software installed software. I made a query that displays the machines with the required installed. My problem is if a machine has more than required then it does not display the record. If it needs Office, Photoshop but has office, Photoshop and quark installed then it does not display that machine.
This should be quite a simple thing, I have played with Like, NOT, Where and others but with no luck...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am putting together a database for work, I have a table that is used to refer to (this table is part of our production system) in this table it lists products run, dates run and who has run.
I have the training records data table, this lists; who, machine and status: "trained" "refresh required" " not trained"
I want to build a query so that it searches the production table for the last 6 months worth of records & if an operator that is in the training table (WHO) as status (trained) is not in the production table it outputs a "to be refreshed" report or amends the records from trained to "refresh required" ...
I have three tables: Table A, Table B and Table C
Fields of Table A: Truck No, Capacity
Fields of Table B: Consignee ID, Capacity A, Capacity B and
Capacity C
Fields of Table C: Consignee ID, Final Rate
Input form is based on Table C:
1-I select Truck No using a combo box and it shows the Capacity from Table A using DLookup.
2- I enter the id no. in the field of Consignee ID and it returns the values of Capacity A, Capacity B and Capacity C using DLookup from Table B.
So I have to write manually one final rate in the field of Final Rate in the form.So I want:When I enter id no. in the field of Consignee ID, it matches with the Capacity in Table A and shows the matched result only in the field of Final Rate of Table C.

I have a form where when the user clicks on the browse button then excel workbook filepath gets stored in the textbox as below:
Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
ChooseFile
End Sub
Sub ChooseFile()
Dim fd As FileDialog
Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
[Code] .....
Please see attached the excel workbook. Everytime the user will select Excel workbook using Browse button. Now in that file , the first sheetname will always be "Summary". I want to perform the following steps:
1. So now I want VBA code to copy the data from columns "Withdrawn","Obsolete","Updated","LitRef" from Summary sheet to the Access table named tblSummary.
2. When the data gets copied in Access table then write So VBA code that will check if the data in field LitRef in table "tblSummary" is present in field "Reference" of Access table "tblliterature" . if its present then check in the tblSummary , which corresponding fields out of "Withdrawn","Obsolete" and "Updated" stores "Y" .
3. If "Withdrawn" field value is "Y" then change the status of corresponding record of tblliteraure to "Withdrawn"
4. If "Obsolete" field value is "Y" then change the status of corresponding record of tblliteraure to "Obsolete"
5. If "Updated" field value is "Y" then change the status of corresponding record of tblliteraure to "Updated" .
Hi,
I'm making a form where the contents of a field is determined on the contents of another field in another form. I thought an IIF function would work, but when I tried it the contents says #NAME.
I put it in the control source.
IIF([Forms]![Frm_NewBusiness]![Page4]![Child51]="NTU",NewBusiness_Date_Issued="NTU",NewBusiness_Date_Issued)
Any ideas?
