Copy Table But Exclude A Column

Apr 11, 2008

Hi

Here's a brain-teaser for you all.

I want to create a copy of a table which I do using the code below.

SELECT * INTO My_Temp_Table FROM My_Table WHERE ColumnA = 100

Great, all works well.... but I want to exclude a column when the temp table is being built. I know I could specify all the columns I want leaving out the undesired column (rather than using SELECT *) but there are lots of them and, whilst in development, the table columns are liable to change. So I'd like to copy all coumns that are in force at any given time except one in particular?

I thought it would be something like :-


SELECT * INTO My_Temp_Table FROM My_Table WHERE ColumnA = '100' AND Columnname NOT LIKE 'ColumnB';

But this doesn't work.

Any ideas please?

Many Thanks

How To Copy A Column From One Table And Insert It Into Another Table In The Same Db

How to copy a column from one table and insert it into another table in the same database

Hi, All,

I have two tables (old and new) sitting in the same database. The new table is the result of 'data cleansing' done by an external company. In the process (export and import via excel) two memo type colums in the table were truncated in excel.

To make the new table usable, I must therefore now copy/insert the two memo columns from the old table into the new table.

Both tables are already Access tables and sit in the same database. Both tables, of course, have the same number of rows.

I tried to high-light one column in the old table, clicked copy, then high-lighted a blank column in the target table, then clicked Paste, but got error msg: "This text is too long for this field. Try copying a shorter text", as if I had wanted to copy the whole column into one cell rather than one column into another column of equal length.

What is the best way to proceed?

Thanks for your help.

Adrian

Copy Items In A Column To Clipboard

Aug 7, 2013

I am looking to create a button in access that will allow a field to be copied the the clipboard based on information in a query and then separated by a ";" and then can be pasted in another program.

I have created a database to keep track of membership. In the Member Personal Info Table I have collected their email address's and then created a query "Active Member Personal Info" for Active Members to have their name and Email displayed in the query. Now I am trying to take the 140 members email address and paste it in a gmail BCC line by clicking paste rather than doing each individual record and then copying and pasting.

and if DATE is 09/07/2006 I want PAY PERIOD END to be 22/07/2006 etc

How do I do this?

Kind Regards,

I have an MS Access accdb with linked SQL Server 2012 ODBC tables. I am working on a procedure to copy data from local tables to these linked tables (identical schema). I did a simple

I would like to copy the data in a bulk operation, or operations that I can execute programmatically.

Modules & VBA :: Copy Structure Of A Table To Make A Temp Table

Apr 20, 2015

I'm trying to copy the structure of a table to make a temp table. I'm using CopyObject (which also copies the data). So when I delete the data from the temp table, it also deletes data from the source table. Is the data linked? It should just be deleted from the temp table. Below is the beginning of the code. I've stepped through, and at the last step shown, the data in the source table deletes.

Code:
Dim strFile As String
Dim temp As String
Dim tbl As String
Dim db As DAO.Database

' error handle
On Error GoTo F_Error

Active Table And History Table, How To Copy On Deletion?

Feb 14, 2006

My 2nd post, and I am very new to DB and Access. I have a problem that I want to get help on. I want to set up a main form that is used to enter and delete all data for my table. I wish to add either a button or to make it automatically happen when a record is deleted, that it is first copied to a separate table with the same fields, except it also has a closed date that would be the date that the record was copied over. I know zilch about VB, VBA or any other language other than AutoIt, so assume I am what I am, an ignorant beginner.

I did look into the event somethihng like upondeletion or something... while trying to find help on this in the access and VBA parts of Office, but I do not know how to utilize the event with Basic or SQL, which I know none of either.

Any help or examples are very much appreciated.

**EDIT**
I do not require all fields to be recorded to the secondary DB (History), so if someone can just give me an example of how I would move two fields to a separate DB, I can hopefully learn enough from it to do more.

Thanks a Bunch!


EXAMPLE**
Current Loans (Table 1):
CustomerID
Name
Address
City
State
Phone

Customer History (Table 2):
CustomerID
Name
Phone

That gives an example to help understand what I need. I want to store the CustomerID, Name and Phone values of the record being deleted, to the History Table, which I am using as a closed account table for later look up.

Automate Copy Table And Sequence Table Name

Oct 27, 2004

I have a user who wants to automate copying a table from our main database. Basically, he is naming the new table with the original table name and the current date. For example, Part_Table_9-3-04, Part_Table_9-4-04, Part_Table_9-5-04 etc for each day of the month.

He wants me to write a macro, module, or vb code that automates the steps.

I have DoCmd.CopyObject,"Table1",AcTable,"Table2" I want to concatenate the date function (now) or (today) with the new table name but can't seem to get this to work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for helping,

Copy Linked Table Into A Local Table

Jul 30, 2006

Well, heres the situation. I have a complicated query that refuses to work all the time using a linked table for the data (data is gathered from a FoxPro DB). If I copy the data into a local table in my database then the query will run fine.

The data needs to be updated only 1/month but I don't want to have to do it manually every month. I would like to use VBA to copy and paste the data from the linked table into my local table. Does anyone know of an efficient way to do this? I'm trying to avoid running a VBA loop and adding each record one-by-one (very slow).

Copy Table Post And Secondary Table

Jun 26, 2007

I have a problem... I have four tables(but my problem is limited to just two)
The tables are Orders, Customers, Items and OrderedItems
The two more detailed below creates the problem when trying to copy an already existing order to a new since the customers usally order the samethings over and over again.

Orders
IDOrders
IDCustomers
strSalesperson
strWhen
strSent

OrderedItems
IDOrderedItems
IDOrders
IDItems
iNumber
bPacked

So I have made a copy button on the order form. The copy button should do this:
1. First save the old orders IDOrders and IDCustomers (which it does)
2. Create a new order with old data (which doesnt do)
3. Copy all post in OrderedItems with a new IDOrdered using INSERT INTO and using columns

My SQL statement is like follows:
sSQL ="INSERT INTO Orders(IDCustomers, strSalesperson, strWhen, strSent, strComment) VALUES (" & itmpIDCustomers & ",'" & strSalesperson & "', '" & strWhen & "','" & strSent & "');"
But the reply I got is "Could not find output table 'Orders'" but I have checked the names over and over again but it doesnt work.

Query To Exclude Weekends....

Jun 30, 2005

Hello I am new to this site as well as MS Access and SQL. So any help would be appreciated. Sorry if this is too drawn out. I have this query that returns the previous business day's(Monday through Friday) number of docs sent from my department to another department. I would manually go into the SQL view in Access and change the date to yesterday. The easy part was having the code do the previous day. The problem comes Monday morning when the code does the previous day. It will do Sunday which will return nothing since I really want Friday's numbers. I am trying to figure out how to take into consideration if the query is run on Monday morning and to automatically choose Friday. I checked out DayOfWeek() and Case When condition statements but really unsure about syntax and whatnot. Here is the SQL view of the query...

Exclude Subform From Printing

Sep 19, 2005

Need to know if there is a way to exclude a subform from printing when I print forms?

Here's what I'm trying to do - Have a form that contains multiple subforms that are linked back to the master form. One of these subforms is a memo which they would like to see on the "preliminary or draft" copy of this form but would like to exclude it from the "final" copy.

I would think there is some why to do it but I'm stumped at the moment.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
