When I import an excel spreadsheet into my Access database it always creates a couple of new blank records. I import this spreadsheet frequently so I would like to set up a macro that will automatically delete any blank records it creates. Can someone tell me specifically how to do this?
Thanks.:)
I have a couple different reference files that get updated each week. Sometimes there are missing data elements, so I'd like to structure a select query to show me those records that have blank elements but I'd like the similar records to be pulled in as well, so I can make a determination as to how to populate the blank records..
See attached example: I have a client ID reference table that gets populated with forecast owner names (individuals responsible for the customer) from a couple of different sources. Sometimes there are names attached and sometimes the field is blank.
How can I structure a query to show me just those Client ID's that have multiple entries with blank AND non-blank forecast owners? I'd also like to exclude single/multiple records where there are only blank records...
I have two tables.
1. Persons (list of persons)
2. Job history (list of jobs)
each person have their own job history. all these jobs are stored in the job history table. when i delete a person i would like the job history for this person deleted as well. each job stored in the job table have a field with person name, so that it is linked to this person.
how can i do this? vba or simple properties options?

OK, I have been searching around on the fourm for over an hour now...I give up. If this is some where else, I am sorry.
I have a database of maintenance data. There are several columns that are usually filled in, some records have some columns blank. They are formated text because they hold letters and numbers (see pic).
I am using a form to query the table...no problem. The form has text boxes the user filter down the data
The problem comes are with the results of the query. Any record that has a blank column is not retuned. I am using "Like" so that the user can enter in partial codes. I know "like" won't return "null" records.... Help!
Things I have tried:
1)IIF(form field is blank, return table field, else use like command to filter) - returns nothing!
2)Like "*" & [Forms]![Fleetwide_data_Request]![MAL_CD] & "*" returns all records without blanks (i.e. missing data)
what else can I do?
Thanks
I would like to input data into textbox and it will automatically open up a new blank textbox for another data.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a form set to the table Client Information with a subform set to the table Event Information. Client Information has a one to many relationship to Event Information.
There is a button that deletes the current record in Client Information--also deleting the related records in Event Information--then closes the form. The code works fine but a blank record in Event Information is apparently being created before the form closes.
Here's the VBA that I'm using:
Private Sub CmdDelReturn_Click()
Dim CmdDelReturnMsg As String
CmdDelReturnMsg = MsgBox("Delete event & client then return to front?", vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton1, "Delete and Return?")
[Code] ....
It's not a big deal because the button won't be used often and I can manually go into the table to delete the blank record. But if there's a simple solution to prevent this that would be nice.
I have two tables (same data but slightly different attribute structure) with a one-to-one relationship (the join field is "ID"). There are 69 matching records in these tables. How can I delete these matching records from table A, while leaving them alone in table B?
I'm confused because I brought both tables into a select query, created a join from ID to ID (within in the query's design view), and then added all fields from table A to the query. I then ran the select query and saw the 69 records from table A in the query's data view that I wanted to delete, highlighted all records and clicked delete. However, this action deleted the 69 matching records from TABLE B, not Table A!!! How is this possible? What should I do instead? Thanks.
A strange request but I hope someone can help with this one
I have a table (tbl_Econ) where I have to delete a specified number of records from a table. It does not matter which records as long as I delete the exact number
e.g On a form text box I enter the number or records to be deleted (e.g.6000).
The table (tbl_Econ) has 8000 records, so I have to delete 6000 records. I need to be able to do this automatically :eek:
How can I go about deleting records fully? So that there autonumber, etc can be used again without access moaning.
Thanks :D
I have a query (Query1) which returns results In one field recordID.
How do I delete records in a table where the RecordID is in the list Query1.recordID?
Thanks
Hi,
how would i go about deleting a set of records? i can get a list of records together in a query taken from 4 tables and would need to, if necessary, delete a single line. not all information needs to be deleted from all 4 tables though? the info to be deleted would only be deleted from 1 or 2 tables being the last 2 in the relationship.
i guessed it might be an append query but im not too familiar with them.
any chance of a possible suggestion?
many thanks,
NS
I am having trouble with my autonumbers when i have to delete a record.
Can anyone help me out with auto numbers?
Hi there, i have a master reset to delete all the data in the database. Although, as there is a username and password entry to get into the admin module, i wish for one entry in the table participantTable to not get deleted (to save one password/username so its possible to log into the admin module after the reset). The code below will delete everything, how can i change it so it keeps the first record in the table, and then deletes all the other records after.
DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE * from participantTable"
Thanks in advance

Hello all,
I have 3 tables:
1. customer
2. DVD collection
3. Borrow
The aim of this system is to create a home borrowing system.
The customer table has a one to many relationship with the borrow table, while the dvd collection has a one to one with borrow. I can create a new book with no problem, and even view these on a form. Here my proble arises.
I ahve another form to return a DVD. I view the records from the borrow table, and once found what i want there is a button which deletes the record from the borrow table. Sadly, when i press this button, not only does it delete the record in the borrow table, but it will also delete the record from the DVD collection table.
I have tried everything i can think of, and i don't want to change to change the design as i have found this mnethod very easy to generate reports and the like. Any help??
Thanks
EDIT: the button i used was from the wizard that comes up when you create a button.
Looking for hint how to avoid systems message box ("you are about to delete n records...yes, no") when deleting records from the table.

Hello.
I am using a large database, which usually works fine, and is set to compact on close.
Occasionally it has been losing a lot of data in the main table, probably when it compacts, down to a round number of records. This time it left me with 10,000 records exactly. (It has been different round numbers before)
Does anyone have any ideas as to what is causing this?
Thanks.

Anyway, am using a delete query and want an expression that i can use in the criteria to allow me to detect (and delete) records that are 5 years old. i used Date() - 1825 but was wondering if there was any other way or function that would allow me to acheive this. any help regarding this would be appreciate! hope someone can help.
I am having problems deleting various rows from an SQL table, the message coming up is "The row value(s) updated or deleted either do not make the row unique or they alter multiple rows (xxrows). Any Suggestions?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a simple form with a subform on it (see enclosed Access 2000 Database). I'm trying to add/change/delete records from table: Component Name. Adding and changing records is not a problem but deleting is. It only deletes the value of the field "Interative Component Name" and not the entire record. I have my joins defined properly on the tables. What am I missing? I wish this Access stuff was easier to learn. Any help/clues would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I have a "display only" subform that is updated by a popup form. If I add or amend an entry the details of the changes are displayed immediately in the display window by requerying the form "afterupdate". However, I have a delete button on my popup form which will delete a record but replaces it with the word #deleted in each of its fields. The #delete will only disappear once I have moved to another record which I don't want to do.
Can any one tell me why the amend/insert update works well but the delete behaves in this way.
How can I set up the delete function to function and remove the #deleted message without moving to another record. I have tried adding a save button but this doesn't fix it.
Thankyou
Hi There,
I have a form with a search field for an unique field, that looks up records in the table that belong to that unique field. See Code:
Private Sub cboLastName1_AfterUpdate()
On Error Resume Next
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim strSQL As String
cboLastName1.SetFocus
If cboLastName1.Value > 0 Then
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tbl24HRPolicies WHERE AutoNumber = " & cboLastName1.Value
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
If Not rs.BOF Then
Me.ID = rs("AutoNumber")
Me.Prefix = rs("PolicyNumber")
Me.FirstName = rs("DateReceived")
Me.MiddleName = rs("Comments")
Me.LastName = rs("ClientsName")
Me.Suffix = rs("ShopID")
Me.NickName = rs("Nickname")
Me.Title = rs("ActivePolicy")
End If
rs.Close
Set rs = Nothing
db.Close
Set db = Nothing
End If
The fields, that take content based on that search field, are unbound.
I've added the delete button, but it's not working, because they are unbound. Is there no way to delete records with this form??
