Copy From One Field To Another (in Different Tables)
Oct 7, 2004
I am looking at copying one field to another (held in a different table) by using a command button. I've applied to following code to the OnClick event of the command, but it doesn't seem to work and I'm not sure if you can actually copy between two different tables :
This code is basically trying to copy fields from the enquiry_entity table to the enquiry_mainsite table. Does anyone have any insight to if what I am trying to do is fesible?
I have a db with about 30 tables. What is the easiest (if possible) to copy field names to paste it into Exel or Word? I need to distribute it to other people.
I have been unable to find a simple way to copy a text entry from a Table Field and paste it to multiple records in Datasheet view.The Toolbar 'Paste' procedure copies to the selected record only and I am unaware of how to select multiple records, as per a spreadsheet procedure.
I'm trying to create a system where if I enter data into one field it will automatically appear in the corresponding field in another table. For instance if I enter the values 10,12,15 into a field called QID in table A I would like this to appear automatically in a field called QID in table B. Both tables are related and I have enforced referential integrity and 'cascade' options but this still doesn't seem to allow one table to automatically update another. My ultimate aim would be to have a form that you filled in data for the field QID once that then propagated to both Table A and Table B.
How can I get the value from a field in one table (in the sub form) to copy/insert into a field in another table (in the main form) when adding a new record?The main form and sub form are linked using parent/child linking, and the sub form is in a tab.I have table A (Visit Dates) in the main form which is used to record the date of a visit to a church. Table B (Quarters and Peals) is used to record an event that took place at that church during that visit. Note that not all visits in table A require a record to be created in table B - but half or more do.
In tables A and B I have a field called "QuarterOrPealID" and these are both primary keys, though the field in table B is set to 'no duplicates' and in table A it's set to 'duplicates allowed', as table A has its own auto number/pk. They are both linked in the relationships.
So, when I add a new record to table A using the main form, I might then need to click on the tab in the sub form to create a new record in table B, which has to be linked to the same record in table A. When the "QuarterOrPealID" auto number/pk is generated in the sub form (table B), I need that value to update to the "QuarterOrPealID" field of the main form (table A), so that when I'm viewing these records the form pulls all the information nicely together.
Hi guys, i have two databases. I need to Copy 'some' tables and reports from one database to the other one. Do i just do right click and Copy table and paste it in another database.
I have a form to edit records on table A and i would like to be able to put a button on the form to copy that record from table A to table B. The code i have on the button so far is as follows:
I want someone to be able to search a product for an order, edit it to reflect how many they are taking but at the same time have a button to copy that record to table B. Then after all the products have been found and copied to table B, they can print of the report based on table B and give to the factory floor so they can find the stock, run a query to clear table B and start on the next order.
I have everything working but copying the records across.
Okay. I am certain that I am missing something real easy. I have a somewhat large, form. I needed to offer users a similar form, but with a few field changes.
So, I copied the form, added the new fields. If I work with an existing record and do not change the 1st field's data (idnumber), then no problem. BUT if I try changing that idnumber or adding a new record, I cannot exit that 1st number. There is no afterexit info for it or other issue that I can see. (But am I 'blind'?)
My table called Table1 has a primary key field (called RefID) with AutoNumber format. My problem is I want duplicate value of RefID field to another field called DupID. I want DupID to be changed, but I don't want any change on RefID field whenever I make changes.
I am very new to MS Access. I have a main Form - ( Around 20 Projects - 20 Line Items).When I click on the Project Number - It opens a Task. Every Project will have multiple Tasks and when I click on Tasks it opens another form where I have to update the status depending upon the group.Now the problem here is when I click on the Tasks it opens the form but I am not able to save any data in that .When I close and come back all the data is gone.
I'd like to copy checked records from one tale to another after a user presses a button.
Ex. The table 'Equipment List' has a checkbox column that the user can check off as they scroll through the table on a form. When the user presses a button, after they are completed with all of the checkboxes, each checked record is then copied to 'Equipment Transactions' to keep a record of which pieces of equipment were used for the day.
I recently upgraded from MS Access 2007 to 2010. I want to copy table preferences from the 2007 version into the 2010 version using the Import funtion. Will all of my queries, forms and reports remain compatible?
Access 2013. I have a table that I would like to contain columns from other tables when the form containing the table is loaded.
Example:
I open a form to input information into the table 'Equipment Input', but I want Equipment Input to be partially loaded with columns from another table 'Equipment and Rates.'
I have a table in MS Access naming "Salutation" and in the table I have 6 columns and each column named as Week No., Carry Forward records, new records, total records, processed records and pending records. Like below
Week No. Carry Forward records new records total processed pending 1 0 10 10 5 5 2 5 10 15 7 8 3 8 20 28 9 19
So now the requirement is every day pending records should get updated in the next row with in the same table under carry forward records of its next immediate day. For e.g. pending records of week number 1 which is 5 should get updated under carry forward records for week number 2 and so on.
I have "Master" table with fields "Job No" and "Revision No". Both together is a primary key, so that combination of both cannot be duplicated. I have 100 other tables to be related with referential integrity(+update&delete) to Master for both fields. Apart from Job No and Revision No, all 100 tables have different set of fields which is why I had to come with so many tables.
Due to 32 limit rule, I had to come up with workaround method to have all 100 tables in the relationship. So, I created 5 other SubMaster1, SubMaster2, ...., SubMaster5 which are related to Master with relationship with referential integrity (+update&delete). Then I assigned 20 tables to each SubMaster so that 20 tables are related to each SubMaster table.
Whenever I create new record in Unit, the new record is generated in each SubMaster using update query for each SubMaster table. I have all the forms and necessary query laid out. The only missing part is being able to duplicate a record. I have limited knowledge in VBA, but I should be able to modify it to address to my requirement.
I want to copy a given record in Master, SubMasters and 100 tables as a new record. I need this feature so that I can select certain Job No and Revision No and copy that as a new Job No(assigned manually in a form) and 0 as the revision number. Possibly a button which will ask for new job number and copy everything from the active Job No and Revision No to a New Job No and "0" Revision No. The existing record may not be there on all 100 tables for the given Job No and Revision No. If it is there, then copy otherwise ignore for each of the tables.
I have a table "ItemList" which lists all the unique name of the 100 tables.
I have a data entry form with many records. Instead, of retyping the same data. I would like click a button and the data on the top row will copy downward.
I have a code module in my interface with 3 functions that run via separate forms with user inputs. Each function is similar in design, exporting data from a generated query to excel for input into external software.
The database is split into an interface FE (Access 2007) with linked tables BE (Access 2000). I have successfully tested each of the 3 functions in my code module with a set of tables containing fake test data. However, I have discovered that if I link to a different copy of the .mdb tables, 2 of the export functions no longer work and the third one still works fine.
What is causing the problem but the part that is not working correctly is the loop.
Here is my code module:
Option Compare Database Option Explicit Public Function CreateQCStaticChartsforReports() As Boolean 'Define variables for Static Chart creation Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef Dim strSQLStatic As String
Is there a copy and replace existing records function in access?
I.e. I would want to copy records from one table to another (with same structure) and replace similar records with in original table in the new records (which have minor ammendments made).
I'm sorry to have to ask such a basic question, but I'm having trouble figuring out the syntax for saving a field value, in the current record, to a variable. I appreciate the help.
I have a field called Shipdate. I have created a new field that is called invoicedate. What I want to do is copy all of the shipdates and paste them in the invoicedate field for my old records. From here on out they would be distinct fields but for old records and reporting purposes I need those dates.
I need to make changes to a table already containing data. Currently the autonumber field is simply there as a primary key, but I now wish to use it for another number field (Accession No) which was previously completed manually.
As this doesn't seem possible or practical (as I need the flexibility to overwrite the number sometimes), I just want the autonumber to also appear in the Accesion No field when a new record is added (but be manually overwriteable).
I've had a play with default values and lookups, but with no success, and haven't found anything on the forum. Where am I going wrong, or is this just not possible?
