Database Update Of Multiple Fields Based In Lookup
Oct 28, 2014
I have two tables, one table (1) hold three fields, one of those fields is the master key (index). The other table (2) has a field which I want to lookup from table 1, that part is working. In the combo box I get all three fields displayed as I make my selection. I want to copy the other two fields as text at the time the lookup index is selected. I do not what the fields to automatically update each time the table is displayed. I have looked at update macros, I've looked at VBA.
My colleague has a multiple table database and uses lookups for some fields. The simple query was to extract 3 fields and display all records from those fields. The result of the query was that the selected fields were listed first followed by all other fields which are usually not displayed.
I have been working with a simple Dlookup to return a value based on the data held in a specific field. I am now trying to develop this further and need some help.
I have a query "QryMainForm" that brings together fields from 2 tables "TblFS" (fields: Ref, score 1, score 2) and "TblFamily" (fields: Familyname). the query adds the values in Score 1 and Score 2 and saves the value as "points".
Seperatly from this i have a table "Tbllevels" which contains the fields Score, Operational, Admin, Technical. with the points scored relating to a value within each field. What i need to do is run the lookup based on the both "points" and Familyname fields contained in the query.
So someone who scores 300 points could be assigned to the technical or operational group (this is done manually). What i need the lookup to do is to return the level based on the points and Familyname fields located on "qrymainform"
Hi, not sure if this is possible or the most economical approach but here goes:
I have a lookup table (tblHolidays) with a list of holiday dates (fieldname "HolidayDate") in it.
I need an update query that can check all "StartDate" values on a table called "tblMasterLog" and where this date matches the ones on "tblHolidays", will add 1 day to the "StartDate" and then keep repeating until there are no more dates to change.
I apologize if this has been adressed. I searched but did not find it. Partially I think because it won't let me use the word 'two' in the search. That's kinda important in this case.
I know how to make a lookup combo box. I used the wizard and copied and pasted the code, actually. What I need is the code to base the lookup from two combos.
For example, the records in my table contain information about different districts on certain dates.
I'd like to lookup the record that matches both the Report Date combo and the District combo.
I have a query that based on certain codes in a record does multiple joins to pull in other codes... I want the query (based on these pulled in codes) to do a lookup in another table to extract 1 field that has a description...
Can I do this in one query??? Do I need to do a Make Table to first pull in the codes and then do a second query with a DLookup based on those fields???
I have a member table and donation table. For a donation, I'd like to lookup the last and first names from the member table. I set the lookup for the last name and can see bothe first and last names in the drop down list. When I pick, I get the last name in the DonationT but how to I pick up the first name? That is, how do I fill DonorFirstName in DonationT from the FirstName field in the MemberT?
I am attempting to develop a DB to track hardware assets, e.g., servers, switches, storage devices, etc... I am at the very beginning of the development/design process. I haven't gone beyond the paper stage yet. I am trying to figure out how I would set up the main Asset table so that when I put in a particular vendor, the model field will list models only for that specific vendor. i.e., when I put in IBM in the Vendor field I will only see IBM models in a drop down for the Vendor_Model field.
I'm pretty sure this will involve a Lookup field. But, how do I restrict the lookup of models. Would that be with a query?
We have a form, which has a field linked to a "Recipients" table through a lookup. The field is bound to the recipient's name, but the lookup displays additional columns for user to identify the correct recipient in the case of duplicate names.
The "Payment" table's Recipient field only displays the recipient's name. So where duplicates occur, it's impossible to know which recipient is the correct one associated to a payment.
I would like to add an additional field to the "Payment" table called "RecipientIDNo". I need a way to auto-populate this field, based on the already existing Recipient field. Is this possible?
Why I just don't modify the recipient field on our payment form to be bound to the user ID number, there are two reasons.
(1) The field is linked to too many other reports and queries at this point. I believe it could cause an enormous amount of work to modify. (2) the form likes to display whatever it is bound to. There may be a workaround for this, but I'm not aware of it and don't want the form displaying a number instead of a recipient name.
I don't have any database experience whatsoever so please go easy. I'm guessing this kind of this is extremely simple for all of you.
I'm constructing a database of network resources and devices and I'd like to automatically update the values in one field based on the values of a field in another table.
The first table is called "IP" and the fields are called "Address", "IP Type" and "Device". The second table is called "Devices" and contains the fields "Name", "Description", "Asset Number" and "IP".
Here's an example of the tables: (ignore the "code" tag. i've only used it to align my columns properly)
What I want is for the Device field in the IP table to automatically update it's values based on the values found in the Devices table. In this case, the values that should appear in the Device field in the IP table are "Xserve" and "ProliantX".
I've searched through but haven't found a complete solution, just little pieces which I'm too inexperienced to put together myself.
I have a drawing register database which notes the revisions for all drawings issued. One drawing can be revised several times so I have a details table which notes the revision letter, date issued and the notes for each revision. Using this table I created a max date query to show the latest issue date and revision for each drawing. This query is used for a transmittal form for issuing drawings. Both the form and report is working perfectly.
The TBLTransmittal consists of the following fields ContractName IssueDate SubSup DwgNo (multi-value checkbox)
Using the TBLDwgRegisterDtls or the query QRYDtldDwgReg (which includes the drawing titles) I would like to create a query that would look up the latest revision at the date of issue and show the revision letter.
I started a query combining TBLTransmittal and TBLDwgRegisterDtls and in the criteria for DateIssued of the TBLSDwgRegisterDtls (which is when the drawing was issued by the architect to the contractor) I put "Not > [IssueDate]". This is filtering the information to show revisions issued up to the date we (the contractor) issued the drawing to our sub-contractor but I need now to pull the max revision only from this information.
Before I go I will give you an example of what I want from the end result
Drawing BK2-02 rev. D was issued by the architect to the contractor on July 17th. This drawing was in-turn issued to our sub-contractor (Sub "A") this Saturday, August 9th. The same drawing was revised this morning and rev. E was issued to Sub "A" today, August 11th.
I want the end report to show that Sub A received Rev. D on 09-08-14 and Rev. E on 11-08-14.
I'm wondering if another max date query on this new query would work? I'll try and see what happens.
I want to create a form that allows users to update multiple fields for multiple assets. Below is what I came up with:
Ideally, I'd like the subform to be filled in by having the user select multiple Assets from the S/N combobox field which would then auto-populate the "Type" field. Then they would fill out the appropriate fields they want edited in the top part of the form. They hit save and magic happens. This would also be nice because only assets they want edited would be displayed (easier on the eyes) and no distinguishing would be necessary. To do it this way, I know I would need to use a temp table but I wanna avoid using temp tables.
I know I can do this by adding a Yes/No field in the "Asset" table, setting the "Asset" table as the subform's recordsource, and then putting a checkbox in the subform and allowing them to check the assets that they want to edit (which would also allow me to sort it instantly so that checked Assets are at the top of the datasheet for easy viewing), but I would like to know if there's a way of accomplishing this without the use of checkboxes.
I know I could also use a listbox and that allows them to multi-select items, but I'm not sure if that allows me to group all selected items at the top of the listbox for easy viewing of selected items. Plus it would involve a lot of scrolling (there are over 2k assets).
My db has several tables tb1, tb2 tb3 tb4 ..... I have link tb1 to tb2 (tb1Id to tb2)and linked tb2 to tb3 and tb4 (tb2Id to tb3 and tb4) I have created a form with several field from tb1 and tb2 and a single field for tb3 and tb4. All of the fields except one for tb1 are use to make a decision based on what they display. The only field that is updated on the form is a date conversion field from tb1. once you update this field it will auto populate a date field on tb1 with current date. you then have a choice of 4 commands to activate based on what is displayed form the rest of the form.
my problem none of the fields can be updated. can any one help
qry the form is based on
tb1 [Name] tb1 [ID] tb1 [date conversion] 'this is the only field that is manualy updated tb1 [date] 'updated base on date conversion field being updated tb2 [field] tb3 [Yes/no] tb4 [yes/no]
based on what is displayed on the form you have 4 choices of cmd buttons.
how to Add/Update record including existence of record based on single unique field.Now I trying to learn how to check existence of record on multiple field before adding (at least two) and how to update the record with multiple field record
Below is my testing table fields
Year Month Working Days 2013 Jan 20 2013 Feb 17 2013 Mar 22
Now two situations adding a new record and updating the existing record Which means the unique fields are (Year + Month)
I have three large source tables imported into my database. I have created queries to retrieve relevant values from fields in each source table which feeds into my form. Each field on my form that is connected to the relevant query is a lookup field. For example, one field called "Supplier_Name" another called "Supplier_Code" and a third called "Route_Number".
Needless to say each of my lookup fields are very long. I am trying to filter my search based upon the selection from the previous Lookup field. How I can filter a lookup field's value based upon the previous lookup field selection? Each Supplier has a code and assign route(s) and I have already established these relationships.
Hey guys- I have 2 identical tables. I want to update the data from Table1 to go into Table2. Each table has well over 70+ fields in them. Instead of handwriting out each [Table].[Field] in either SQL or the Designer- is there a shortcut to tell Access to grab all the fields from Table1 and update all the fields in Table2 (all the fields have the same name)? I just don't have the energy to type it all out- I figure there's got to be a way...
I know when you do an APPEND query in the designer- it will do this for you- but not the UPDATE query... Thanks!
I'm building a customer form using a list box of summary customer info on the left side of the form (CustId and Names) and customer details on the right hand side. I want the details shown on the right to be those for the customer selected in the list box on the left. I'm having problems getting the details to update when a different record in the list box is selected or clicked.
I originally set the data source for the detail records to the base customer table but couldn't work out how to update them when the list box was clicked!
I then tried creating a query with the select clause conditional on the list box (CustId = Me.qryContactDetails) and set the data control source for the detail record to the query (=[qryContactDetails]![FirstName]). The query works as expected but the field in the form just shows '#Name?'.
I tried adding a field requery on the List31_Click() event using Me.[FieldName].ReQuery but that didn't seem to change anything
I'm trying to build a query that uses the information pulled from controls on a form called "CharacterCreation" - 2 of the controls are "Race" and "Class", and the form stores this data in a "Characters" table.The query needs to refer to the Characters table, and another table called "Modifiers".In this second table I have several numerical fields such as hp, str, etc, and I have two other fields called "Type_Modifier" and "Type" Among the Type_Modifiers are Race and Class, where their corresponding "Type" could be for instance Demon and Magician..
So the idea is that when I mark on the form (and thus creating the record in the first table) a Race of "Demon", and a class of "Magician" I want the query to refer to both of these fields, and sum the values in the second table where the "Type" is either "Demon" or "Magician" or whatever I decided to choose. I feel like I should be able to figure this out but I'm having a hard time..Here's an example of the SQL I've tried that shows nothing.
Code: SELECT Characters.Char_Name, Sum(Modifiers.hp) AS SumOfhp FROM Modifiers INNER JOIN Characters ON (Modifiers.Type = Characters.Class) AND (Modifiers.Type = Characters.Color2) AND (Modifiers.Type = Characters.Color1) AND (Modifiers.Type = Characters.Species) AND (Modifiers.Type = Characters.Race) GROUP BY Characters.Char_Name, Modifiers.Type HAVING (((Modifiers.Type)=[Characters].[Race]));
I also tried this, which I thought would work but it displays nothing as well.
Code: SELECT Characters.Char_Name, Sum(Modifiers.hp) AS SumOfhp FROM Modifiers INNER JOIN Characters ON (Modifiers.Type = Characters.Class) AND (Modifiers.Type = Characters.Color2) AND (Modifiers.Type = Characters.Color1) AND (Modifiers.Type = Characters.Species) AND (Modifiers.Type = Characters.Race) GROUP BY Characters.Char_Name, [Type]=[Characters].[Race];
I am trying to setup a database for vehicle stock control. Im not sure if I have gone about this the right way as I am new to this but thus far it is working correctly except for one annoying problem. The database consists of so far
In the Vehicle Details table a stock number has to be manually added as this will be used for new stock as well as current stock (Number range from 100 - whatever) "IAWVehicleNo". This table contains all relevent data with reguards to make, model, bodytype, color etc. The sellers table contains the details of the seller Name, address, Phone, LicenceNo etc. The Buyers table contains employee names. The States table contains all Australian states. The Status table contains current vehicle status Retail, Wholesale, Wrecking etc. The Sold table contains the details of the person who purchased the vehicle if sold. The Safety details table contains a safety checklist for pre purchase inspections eg: Headlights yes/no checkbox, Headlight text field for any extra info. It also has a field for a safety Certificate No once the vehicle is checked and recieves a Safety cert. The forms are setup as frmIAWVehicleDetails frmIAWSellers Subform frmIAWVehicleSafetyDetails frmIAWVehicleSafetyDetails Subform
The Vehicle Details,Sellers,Sold & SafetyDetails tables all have the IAWVehicleID & IAWVehicleNo Fields but when the details are entered through the forms the IAWVehicleNo which is the manually entered number only updates to the tblIAWVehiclesDetails but the other IAWVehicleNo fields in the other tables remain blank. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a field called uniqueID which I would like to update based on 2 other fields that are already populated in my recordset (from running previous queries). I heard it is not possible to do an Update Select like shown below.
select max(uniqueID) from myTable where a = "value of field a from first record in record set" and b = "value of field b from first record in record set"
If it is true that I cannot do an Update Select then I am trying to do something in VBA. How can I Loop each row in the record set and store the values from fields a and b. I would obviously then need to pass those values into the sql above and store the result in a variable. I would then do a straight update to put the value of uniqueID into myTable.
I have a table with the following columns: Task, Visa type, time it takes to perform the task. There are several taks that are performed for all visa types. I want to create a form to enter data to the table in which for the field visa type I have a list box that can allow multiple values, however, I do not to create a single line with the task and on visa type all the types of visas selected. I want to create a line for each type of visa with the information introduced.
I don't know if this is possible, the reason for which I want for the form to create several rows depending on the visas types is because then I have a query that sums all the types of visas. Can this be possible? I don't want the people to introduce manually directly to the table the data and also that for the same taks they have to enter manually 50 rows with values. I want it to be more simple and easier.
Access2007- Building a query to handle future input...
I run an update query that does what it is supposed to do and gives the proper values.
THEN I add a one more field to the source with the builder using + that has no data in it yet, the query fails and gives blanks, even though one of the fields in the source has data in it.
I would think that the "no data" field would be considered 0.00 value and be added together to the field that has values giving at least the value of the field with values as a result of the query.
Is there a setting somewhere that I need to change so that the no value and the value would be combined? I am using the builder to combine the values in the query.
how or what function (DLookup) should I use to prevent duplicate records based on multiple fields? I want to look at data in three fields that can't match existing data in those three fields. It's ok if one or two of the fields match but not all three.
