Compare Value Before Running Update Query
Aug 31, 2006
Hi all
I want to view vehicles due for servicing in the next week. The queries giving me this information work fine. I have a form that I can select, from a drop down box, either 1,2,3 or 4. A report is then run and emailled to the appropriate people. After testing to see what was the easiest way to remember what the last week was (I tried setting the combo box to remember the value but it did not, unsure why, I also tried recording Mondays date in a field in a table and assigning each Monday a value 1-4 then running a query...long story short, to time consuming) I have used a table with one field to hold the value and after emailling the report, an update query adds one to this field and it is displayed above the combo box in a txt box. I want to reset the value to 0 if the value equals 4 before the update query runs. Is this the best way to do it or can someone suggest another way of doing this.
Thanks in advance
Craig

I am helping a company reorganize its employee data to reflect recent changes in the company's organization. It involves a lot of data manipulation that, for the most part, can't be done programatically.
I can save a little time using SQL update queries like this:
update personnel set Department = "Support Staff" where Jobtitle="Shipper"
update personnel set Department = "Maintenance" where Jobtitle="Mechanic"
update personnel set Department = "Regional" where Jobtitle="HR Manager"
I have prepared a text file containing 530 such queries that can be pasted into Access. But as much time as that saves me, it is still a day or two of cutting and pasting.
What would be the best way to talk Access into running all the queries, without having to paste in every one individually?
Thanks...

What would be a better way to do below query --
UPDATE (tblAFFIRMATION_REC_TOOL LEFT JOIN tbl_TZero_Spns ON tblAFFIRMATION_REC_TOOL.CptySPN = tbl_TZero_Spns.SPN) INNER JOIN Entity ON tblAFFIRMATION_REC_TOOL.ReferenceEntity = Entity.ReferenceEntity
SET tblAFFIRMATION_REC_TOOL.[Scope Reason] = IIf(IsNull(tbl_TZero_Spns!SPN) Or (Entity!Test='EM'),tblAFFIRMATION_REC_TOOL![Scope Reason],'TZero Trade')
WHERE ((([tblAFFIRMATION_REC_TOOL]![Scope Reason])="Affirmation Eligible"));
the way it right now, it's running for about half hour..
Could that be IIF statement that slows it down ?

Hi
I am a relatively new user to access and wondered if you could help me with a stock control problem.
I have created an update query (qryUpdateQuantityinStock) with the below fields:
QuantityinStock
tblProduct
Update: [QuantityinStock]-Forms!frmCustomerOrder![frmProductOrderLine Subform].Form!Quantity
ProductNumber
tblPrdocut
Criteria: [Forms]![frmCustomerOrder]![frmProductOrderLine Subform].[Form]![ProductNumber]
When the user enters the quantity they require into the orders form I would like to deduct it from the quantityinstock field in the products table.
The above query does work if you add the following code to the beforeupdate event of the orders subform:
If Me.NewRecord Then
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.openquery "qryupdateQuantityinStock"
DoCmd. Setwarnings True
End If
Although I wanted the query to run from a button (confirm order) on the order form so that the user decides when to deduct the stock.
I cannot put a button onto the orders subfrom where the query should run from and if I place the code on a button on the main orders form it only deducts one order (one product) and not all products on the order.
Can you help me find a way to run the query from a button?
I have read through the threads and found lots of information on stock control, although have not yet found anything similar to this problem. I understand that this is not the correct way to do stock control, although my database is for academic purposes and only requires a simple stock control system.
Any help would be greatly appreciated (sorry for the long post!). :)
Many thanks

I have 3 different "buttons" on my form that run individual update queries. I know these update queries are running correctly. Decided to make a macro that will allow me to run all these queries by clicking one macro button.
My question is: Is there some way to stop the pop up msg that advises I am about to run an update query and the next pop up msg that informs me of how many rows I am going to update?
These pop up boxes are starting to drive me crazy when I run the macro.

Hi
I'm using MS Office 2000, I have an Access database table that contain many fields, namely I need to update FieldA from an Excel Spreadsheet according to the specified primary key of CustomerID. Is there a way to write automate process to import the records from an excel spreadsheet and then place those records in FieldA of the Access Database according to the corresponding CustomerID? The reason I ask is that these two fields are not exactly in the right order in my spreadsheet and my table and to do it manually will take lots of effort.
Your prompt response is greatly appreciated
Thanks

Have devloped a database to log all support issues for an application I work with.
I periodically update the database by importing from another database
for example my main table tbl_issues has fields IR_NO, DESCRIPTION and STATUS
I then import data from tbl_import which also has these fields. The following query works fine:
UPDATE tbl_support
SET tbl_support.STATUS = tbl_import.STATUS
WHERE tbl_support.STATUS <> tbl_import.STATUS
AND tbl_support.IR_NO = tbl_import.IR_NO
However I also want to do this at the same time:
UPDATE tbl_support
SET tbl_support.DESCRIPTION = tbl_import.DESCRIPTION
WHERE tbl_support.DESCRIPTION <> tbl_import.DESCRIPTION
AND tbl_support.IR_NO = tbl_import.IR_NO
How do I update both fields at the same time?

I am programming an Acess Database, the primary data come from an excel sheet. Since Access one to many relationship only works for primary key and another field in another table as foreign key, I can't have normalized database.
I will explain what I mean with a hypothetical situation.
So, let's say I have two tables: WindowT1, CustomerT2.
WindowT1 has fields: WinID (the pk), WindowName.
CustomerT2 fields include CustID (pk), CustomerName, WindowName, WinID.
So, in table "CustomerT2', WinID is the foreign key and I need that field filled in to make one-to-many relationship between these two tables to work. CustomerName and WindowName will be imported and prefilled already from an excel file with append query.
My question is can I make a update query (after the initial append query that brings in the data into Access) such that the criteria is matching WindowName (from CustomerT2) and the update would be the corresponding WinID (the pk number from WindowT1) that would be filled in the field WinID (in CustomerT2)? I know for this to work tables must have relationship and I did that.
Is there a better way to accomplish this task? i.e. through a form (remember info will be prefilled, so can't use combo box to fill in another form field) or maybe can I do this using the first append query (that brings in data)?
I am not good at Macro or VBA. The only thing I have done in code builder is After Update event in forms while using combo boxes. So, if there is no easier solution, I will try to deal with codes.

I have a table "Customer Plans" with 100s of rows of data with 3 columns
'Name', 'Company', 'Plan Type'
I want to create a new column or table "Customer Details" with the the column name 'Customer' under the following criteria:
If the data in 'Customer Plans.Company' Column meets a certain criteria as in = "Corp&Gov" or "Head Office" or is "blank", I want it to populate the new column/table "Customer Details.Company" with the corresponding data in the 'Customer Plans.Name' column
e.g.
if
Name = Anna B
Company = Corp&Gov
then
Customer = Anna B
I want to populate 'Customer' with Anna B for that record and so on down the list of data in 'Company' column.
If however the 'Company' column doesn't meet the criteria, I want to populate the new column/table 'Customer' with the current data in 'Company'
if
Name = Anna B
Company = Dealer
then
Customer = Dealer

I need to update a ytd-budget field using the curmo-budget field. The table contains one record for each month. The ytd-budget for Jan would be the same as curmo-bud for Jan. Feb's ytd would be the sum of Jan + Feb...etc. Is there a way to update the ytd fields with a 'running sum' feature as found in the report options?
(... unfamiliar with VB). Thanks

I need to create a message box or a form or something to flash on the screen to tell the user that a piece of "Update" code is running. the update code will be updated reports from marketing returns, but the 3 branches who use the information are separate so I am creating an update form to download and update the table.
The code for the update is already working, but can take a while, so I thought a message or splash screen would be useful as the update runs on start up.
It would have another use, I have a report which is made mainly of calculated fields on an onPrint event and also takes a while to work it out, so a similar screen would be more useful than my current spinning circle and blank screen.

I have a table that shows Part Numbers. Each part number can be listed multiple times depending on how man Build ID's it is associated to.
Example:
Part Nubmer 123456 could be associated with:
Build Id's F187, A910, F001, C810, E010, C809
or it might only be associated to 1, 2, 3, 4,or 5 of those Build Id's.
What I want my query to do is find any Part Number that is only associated with anything less than all six of the Build Id's.
Example:
Part Number 123456 is only associated with:
Build Id's F187 & A910 or only F001 & C809 or only E010.
If this was the case I would like for that Part Number to show up in the Query along with whatever Build Id's it is associated with as long as it is not associated with all six Build Id's. The Build Id Field is also part of the table.
Any help on how to do this.
Hope all of this makes sense.
Thanks!

Is there a way to compare the value in one field with the value of the same field in the next record? I can do it in Excel by using the following formula:
=If(A1=A2,"Match","No Match")
But I need to be able to do this in an Access query?
Any ideas?

Hello,
I am just wondering whether there is any query I could use to compare the data on, say, whether all data in Table A are in Table B although some records in Table B may not be in Table A and give me the record that is in Table A but not in Table B.
Thanks!

Hi,
I am trying to compare two columns' values within the same QUERY table, but I kept on getting the "Data type mismatch in criteria expression" error. What am I doing wrong?
Here is my Select Query Statement:
SELECT qryDedparmDedetail.EMP_ID, qryDedparmDedetail.[Employer Amt], qryDedparmDedetail.[Employer Actl], qryDedparmDedetail.[Admin Amt], qryDedparmDedetail.[Admin Actl], qryDedparmDedetail.[Employee Actl], qryDedparmDedetail.[Employee Amt], qryDedparmDedetail.FirstOfSTATUS, qryDedparmDedetail.FirstOfAGENCY, qryDedparmDedetail.FirstOfTITLE, qryDedparmDedetail.FirstOfFORMAT_NM, qryDedparmDedetail.RepUnit, qryDedparmDedetail.FirstOfDEDTYPE_CD1 AS Expr1, qryDedparmDedetail.SumOfNBR, RepUnit.REPUNITDESC, qryDedparmDedetail.LeftType

WHERE (((qryDedparmDedetail.[Employer Amt])<>"Employer Actl") AND ((qryDedparmDedetail.LeftType)="01"));

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 am building a tracking database where we would be able to track information which field are null data and report them to our Administration to fill the null data. For this I have created a form name "Search" and I have a combo box control on that form which is bound to "Table = employee" and its ROW SOURCE TYPE="Field List", I would like to able to query records where the selected value in this combo box is null through out the table.
For example if I select "Telephone" from this combo box dropdown, I would like the query to show all the records where the "Telephone" is null, how to set the criteria in query to take the combo box value as "Field Name" and then compare it with the Field/Column in the table and show the null values.

Can anyone tell me how to get a running balance on a report. I know how to create a running total, by setting the "running sum" property of a text box to "Over all".
I can't however see how I can adapt this to give a running balance (as in a bank statement for example). Attempts to do so end up in failure!!
Many thanks in advance.

Hi!
Sorry I am to bother you. But I was wondering whether it is possible to create a running sum in a query (from each previous record just a simple add up)?
I know how to do in report (it is described in the help function) but for a query I cannot find anything.
Thx and rgds,
Lobhaan
