I created a simple database with a single table and a form so I can track patients enrolled in a study. I added a few test records to make sure everything was working properly. Now I'm ready to use the database for real. Only trouble is, when I erased the test records I find that I can't add new ones.

I have a table that I am importing from FOXPRO DATABASE. When someone goes into the system and deletes a record, Foxpro does not really delete the records but marks it for deletion. There is no field to query on that I can see in the table, but when I go to Foxpro the record is "marked" for deletion.
Anyway to exclude these records when doing a query or importing the table?
Thanks
I am losing records in one table when I delete from another, i.e., I do want to delete records in one, but the related records in the other are also being deleted. This was not happening until I did a recent up date.I created a database in Access 2002 about 8 years ago and my client has been using it successfully ever since. I have occasionally made updates and enhancements. They have over the years upgraded and are now on Office 2010. I'm still using Access 2002.
I recently (3 weeks ago) added a new feature and installed the new code. The database is split, code and data. The new feature was working well, but suddenly they were losing records and they cannot operate until I have it resolved. I spent 2 hours today in their office and could not work out why it was happening.
I have a straight forward client table with names and addresses and some other information. I have another table which links together Clients, Counsellors and Supervisors and works out a room allocation for Therapy sessions. Once the Therapy sessions have been completed, we need to delete the Client, Counsellor, Supervisor + room allocation, but we do not want to delete the Client record in the Client table. The User is offered the opportunity to either archive the client record or not archive it, that's all. The Archive procedure is simply to put a tick in the "Archive" field, not delete the record.
However, when the Client, Counsellor, Supervisor + room allocation is deleted, it is also removing the Client record. I do have a relationship between Clients, Counsellor, Supervisor, but it doesn't have "enforce referential integrity", it is just a one-to-one relationship. The odd thing is that when I delete the allocation here at home on my Access 2002 system, it does not delete the Client Record, but it does in their office, using exactly the same code and data.
The Allocation is on a sub form and the way they delete is by highlighting the Allocation and then clicking on the X - Delete button on the Access menu (the program is not very sophisticated, but has worked until now). I have some code in the "on delete" event, but even if I take out all the code and just allow the deletion with the usual Access message "you are about to delete 1 record... " I have seen that the related Client record gets deleted at the same time. it does not happen on my system, only in their office.
Three tables:
Employee, Sessions, EmployeeSessions.
Many sessions can have many employees - thus the joining table has been included.
When trying to delete an employee from the database using a form, I encounter the error:
The record cannot be deleted or changed because table 'tblEmployeeSessions' includes related records
Is there a problem with my table relationship structure? Or is it 'correct' that as the employee is supervising a session he/she cannot be deleted as this would interfere and maybe mess up the session record?
I enter records into MS Access and then when I close it and reopen it, every once in awhile records that I entered previously are deleted. I am new to Access so it may be a simple problem such as saving the database but it is extremely frusturating when I enter customers into a database and then reopen it to find out voila half the customers I entered are not there. If anyone can help me it would be really appreciated. Thank you.

I have a problem that I have deleted some records from a table in my database and now after one week I need these records again. Can someone tell me how to get them?
This has got me stumped.
We have a massive db and on one of the screens the users can scroll through the records and view information they can also add new records. When the users enter the new record and go back to it it has been successfully stored in the relevant table even on exitin the form via the exit button (DoCmd.Close). However from time to time when the user enters the new record and closes the for via the close form button the new entry is not stored in the table and seems to have been deleted or not appended to the table.
We have no idea why this is happening as it doesnt happen all the time just from time to time.
Can anyone help please or has anyone come across this before !
Thanks for any help !
can anyone please help me out with suggestions of how to recover records that have been deleted accidentally. :eek: thanks.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow to track deleted records? I have a database that users login to and it tracks which records they make changes to but I do not have a way to track a deleted record. I read online about doing like an archive of the record to a table that will hold the deleted record and that made the most sense to me.

I've always used an audit trail for tracking changes of records that already exist but I have had a situation come up where I now need to track records that have been deleted. For example, if I delete a record in the datasheet view.
I've seen several examples how to do this, with the most common seeming to store the data into a temporary table while waiting for the delete confirmation. If I am reading the notes correctly, it's done this way to capture occurrences when multiple records are selected to be deleted. Is this the best approach for this type of task?
I was wondering if deleted records to be copied to a new table?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have just split my multi-user DB into Front end and back end. All appears fine apart from there is code in the autoexec module that checks to see if a particular table has been updated today. Basically the first person to login to the DB each day will run this procedure without realising. Now I have FE & BE however, because the query used by the autoexec module is a "Make table" query rather than delete all data and use an append query, every person logging in is running the update each day if it is the first time they have logged in on their PC and they are getting a local table on each of their computers. Is there any code that will create the table in the networked location (when the first person of the day logs in), rather than me having to change all my "delete table" queries to cleardown data and then re-append updated data?
There are quite a lot of delete queries in my DB and I am now worried that I shouldn't have split the DB as I may have caused myself loads of work which I don't have time to do.
I have looked on other threads but cannot find the answer and would greatly appreciate some help
I have an Access 10 DB that includes 299 names and other associated data relevant to these names. I have a need to drop 249 of these names that are no longer needed in the DB, and just keep the 50 names that would remain in the table.
If I am in the table is there any way to somehow "designate" or select the 50 names I want to keep and then just mass delete the other 249 in one fell swoop? If I can somehow sort the 50 names so they would appear as the first 50 names in the table, then I could simply delete all the names below.
But not sure how to make this happen. It would seem to be the simplest solution. Unless I can physically drag and drop each of the 50 names I want to keep to the top of the table, but I don't think this is possible.
I have a table that is showing #Deleted in several fields, not all of them. When I select the record and try to delete it I get the message that the record id deleted. How do I remove this record?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi All,
I'm having a strange problem happening here - I am using DSN / ODBC linked tables in AC97 to an oracle back end DB. Some tables open up fine, however for some other tables (on the same Oracle DB) when they open, AC97 displays all records as "#Deleted". They quite simply can't actually be deleted.
I also have ACXP on the same PC, so I converted a copy of the Access FE to XP, and using that converted copy, the offending tables open OK. Problem being almost all of my colleagues only have AC97 - so I really need it to work with that.
I searched the forum and read a (not so recent) post (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=44158) where a user described having a similar problem with DB2 tables, to which Pat Hartman suggested using the Linked Table Manager add-in to re-link the tables. I tried this on the AC97 DB, but the result is the same.
Can anyone help with this, or suggest anything worth trying?
NB: I am total novice with Oracle.
Thanks

My db includes two tables, Employees and Users, both with a pk of EmpNum (Autonumber in Employees; Number in Users). Users is a subset of Employees, and in the Users table, the row source for EmpNum is a query of the Employees table. I had a relationship defined with a one-to-one between the two tables, but did not have Enforce Referential Integrity or Cascade selected.
The problem is, I deleted a record out of Users, but it also automatically deleted the related Employees record. Re-creating the employee was quite the task because all related records in several other tables also disappeared. I experimented by deleting the relationship between the two tables and then deleting another user, but it still deleted the related employee. How can this be? The two tables are no longer linked, other than the Users EmpNum lookup.
I am looking for a query that will return records from a table that have related records in another table. Opposite to the Unmatched Query Wizard.I have two tables: tblSupplier and tblSupplierProducts.The two tables are related by the field "SupplierId".I need the query to only return Suppliers that have Products.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a survey database that I've been using for the last year for monthly auditing of employees files. I need to be able to get monthly audit scores for each employee but grouped by their manager. The problem I'm having is employees have moved between managers throughout the year, so employees that are listed under Manager 2 now were actually working for Manager 1 when the audits occurred.
ie. Audits occurred Jan - April for Employee 1 while they were assigned to Manager 1. Employee 1 moved to Manager 2s team in May. So when running monthly reports for the year Employee 1 audits should fall under Manager 1 for Jan-April and Manager 2 for May-Dec.
I do have a history table set up like:
tblEmployeeHistory
ID (PK)
EmployeeID (FK to Employee table)
ManagerID (FK to Manager table)
MoveDate (date employee assigned to manager)
The Employee table is set up like:
Employee ID (PK)
EmployeeName
ManagerID (FK to Manager table)
The Manager table has the ManagerID and ManagerName.
That's the employee side of things; then I have the tables that store the audit results:
tblAudit
AuditID
FileNumber
AuditDate
EmployeeID (FK to employee table)
tblAuditResults
AuditID; QstnID (Composite PK, QstnID is FK to tblQuestions)
Answer
How can I use AuditDate and MoveDate to relate audits to the managers the employees were under when the audits occurred?
The BE of my db is located at my PC.
FE are then accessed by 3 of my staff on a shared folder.

I am working with a Access Data Project and MSDE database server. In the image you can see the tables that I am working with. I have a table, tblShifts, that has all of the shifts with clock in and out times for all buildings. I am trying to downsize this list to include only buildings that the user is matched with in tblManagerBuildings by using SUSER_SNAME() to get there current username. Seems easy enough.
Only I can't get it to work. It does give you only shifts in the buildings that you are assigned to. But when you go to delete or insert wierd things happen. If I have the query set up as it is in the "Screen view of problem view" link I get an error "The field 'shiftnum' is read-only" when I try to insert or delete. So I tried another way. First I set up a view that gives you all of the buildings that you have access to.
View all of the user's buildings (http://64.122.37.190/images/viewMyBuildings.jpg)
Then I connect that to tblShifts and get all shifts in the user's buildings:
Shift table connected to user's buildings (http://64.122.37.190/images/viewShifts2.jpg)
If I output the BuildingNum column when you go to delete a record nothing happens. If I output the username column I get the "The field 'shiftnum' is read only" error. If I don't output any of the columns from viewMyBuildings then when I delete a row it Deletes the Building and the User from ALL of the tables. Including all of the shifts associated with the building. AWWW! I know that this is possible. My problem is probably with having a many - to - many relationship, but I have been working on the for a day and a half and I think I took care of the many to many relationship properly. If anyone has any input PLEASE HELP!
Someone created a form and then deleted it. When we try to use the find button on other forms, it keeps looking for the deleted form. When I look in visual basic, I can still see the removed form listed, but it is not visible on the form page for me to delete. How do I get rid of this residue.
Thanks
