Deleting All Data From B_E Database Tables. (AC2003)

Nov 26, 2007

Hi all,

Im trying to write a query so that all data in all but two tables is deleted, not the tables themselves only the data.

I keep getting these errors when im trying to build a suitable query..

COULD NOT DELETE FROM SPECIFIED TABLES
or
TOO MANY FIELDS DEFINED

With any luck i'd like to able to have this query run automatically each day is there any way to do that or do i have to repost in vba section?

Thanks for reading!!

Tables :: Two Identical Database - Importing Tables By Linking To Data Source

Dec 3, 2012

I have 2 identical database in terms of structure but it differs in data.

Basically I would like to import data from subDatabase to mainDatabase and ensuring that there are no duplicate records.

I have used the "link to datasource method" through importing the tables to have the "updating" function.

However, this method also means that the records in mainDatabase are also imported over to subDatabase which I do not want.

Is there a method to ensure that the records are shared/update one way only? (i.e. import from subDatabase to mainDatabase and not main to sub?)

Deleting Tables

May 11, 2006

:confused:
I am Developing a simple VBA program for Access for my final year of my Degree and I have come up with a problem that I don’t seem to be able to fix.

I have create tables using SQL

SQL = "CREATE TABLE tblInvoiceLines" & _
"(InvoiceNo LONG, PartNo LONG," & _
"Quantity LONG)"

DoCmd.RunSQL (SQL)


Deleting this with the below code works,

SQL = ""
'This will delete the Invoice Line Table
SQL = "DROP TABLE tblInvoiceLines"
DoCmd.RunSQL (SQL)


But once I alter the table with the below code the Delete command doesn’t work, does anyone know how I can fix this problem?

SQL = "ALTER TABLE tblInvoiceLines " & _
"ADD CONSTRAINT fkInvoiceNo " & _
"FOREIGN KEY NO INDEX (InvoiceNo) REFERENCES " & _
"tblInvoices (InvoiceNo) " & _
"ON UPDATE CASCADE " & _
"ON DELETE CASCADE "


conDatabase.Execute SQL


Thanks

Deleting Tables

Nov 17, 2004

In my program you are allowed to make backups of the current databases to an external file. It also allowes you to get the tables back from one of those files. At least it should.

I thought this wouldn't be a biggy. I thought I'd just delete my current tables and replace them with "docmd.tranferdatabase" acImport.

But the stupid thing wont let me delete its tables because they are connected to each other. Can I somehow delete the link before deleting them?

If so will the links be there again once I restore the tables from the backup?
Or do I need to reconnect them somehow to each other.

Or maybe another approach would be to import them without deleting the original ones. Thus the new ones get the same name of the original ones + "1" or something. Than I delete all records from all my original tables. And refill them with all the records from the new ones (the + "1"-ones) And delete the new ones. And if I would do that, would it be best to use AcImport or AcLink (from docmd.tranferdatabse)

Can I have some pro's oppinion on this plz.

Deleting All Tables At One Go

I was wondering if there is a way in selecting all tables and deleting at one go instead of selecting one by one. Perhaps a little bit of programming. Tx in adv

Deleting Forms,queries,macros In Another Database

Feb 16, 2005

I have a list of objects (forms,queries,macros,reports the number varies but could be up to 100) that need to be deleted from several other databases (about 20).

I could do this by hand (go into each database and select and delete each object) but this is slow and error prone.

I could create a macro and import it into each database and then execute it (I know how to do this)

or (!!!!!!)

there should be some way to be in one database (HOME) and programatically (VBA) delete in the other database (OTHER).

I know how to

Dim db As Database
Set db = DBEngine.Workspaces(0).OpenDatabase("c:other.mdb")

What do I do next. I could use the db.execute command for tables (which I don't want to delete) but what about forms,queries,macros, and reports ???? I tried to modify the MsysObjects table but ran into permission problems.

Any Ideas

Deleting Excel Sheet Linked To Database

Aug 7, 2015

I have a database that links to an excel sheet and take data from it. For a fail safe i put deletes in several places in case of user error to make sure the sheet is deleted. If it is already deleted the other deletes don't act well.

I need to write a conditional iff statement that if it doesn't exist it ignores the delete call. Not sure how to structure it.

Private Sub Command3_Click()
DoCmd.DeleteObject acTable, "Sheet1"
DoCmd.Close acForm, "District Select Form"
End Sub

Deleting And Saving In Tables From Form

Oct 17, 2005

I am trying to make a database for a shop which can do several things:

1) I want to give in what is being bought by the shop to make their products form. This has to be saved in a table named STOCK.

2) I want to be able if I say in a form that from these things I made that product that these things dissapear from the STOCK table and that the final product is added to the STOCK.

3) If the final product is solled I want to remove it from stock.

In the end if I want to see what is still in the stock I will only have the things that are still there because the rest is removed.

How can I do this??

Thanks for your answer

Deleting Multiple Tables Or Queries

Mar 6, 2007

Hi.

I have a cluttered database with too many 'no longer necessary' queries and tables.

Is there a way (other than deleting them one at a time) to delete multiple ones at once, as I can in My Documents, et cetera?

Deleting Tables Of Import Errors

Mar 17, 2005

Greetings all.

Having searched the last couple of days, I am unable to find a resolution to this problem. If it has been answered already, a simply link or thread name would be appreciated. If not, help is greatly appreciated.

I have code running that imports data from a .txt file into a table.however, on some days there will be errors importing some of the data. I have found that from the last three months, there has been no data of consequence lost so, I don't care about the data errors. However, any time there is an error with the import it creates a table that is named for example:

01-03-05 Auth_ImportErrors

where "01-03-05 Auth" is the name of the file imported. So each time they import a file, a new table is created. Is there any code that I can run that can automatically delete these tables upon exit?

I'm just tidying up really.

Thanks in Advance.

Deleting Rows From Joined Tables

Jun 5, 2006

I am using the following query to identify rows in one table that have no match in another:

SELECT MAS.MASID
FROM MAS LEFT JOIN IVT ON MAS.Field1=IVT.Field1
WHERE ((IVT.IVTID) Is Null);


MAS is one file with MASID as the key.
IVT is the other file with IVTID as the key

This provides me a list of the rows in MAS with no match in IVT.

I now want to delete these rows in MAS so we can process the other fields in the table.

what is the syntax for the delete statement? I can't get the join to fit in correctly.

Help!

Deleting Import Error Tables

Dec 31, 2004

I routinely import from an Excel document provided by a third party. Most data in it is ok, but 10-15 records always end up in the import error tables which Access creates automatically when formats do not match.
I am trying to automate this whole process thru VBA and am pretty successful so far, except that I haven't figured out how to programatically get rid of these tables (I do not need them, and data imports anyway).
Is there a way to destroy a table programatically in Access?

Thanks

Tables :: Keeping Records Rather Than Deleting?

Oct 31, 2014

If a user wishes to delete a record, rather than deleting the record i'd like to change its status to not current for instance.

The reason being that the information in the records may be useful for statistical use.

I added a yes/no field to the table and then added some code to a delete button to change the yes/no.

I can't seem to hide these records from my forms (using filter) but I could be going the wrong way about it.

Tables :: Deleting Duplicate Records

Sep 11, 2013

i have a data base with a primary key but some records have been added from a excel data base and now the data base has duplicate records with different primary keys. I do a Query looking for duplicate records based on a field not the the primary key. There are 315 out of 22000. I can sort the table and then manually delete the dups. The Query does not allow deleting records so finding the culprits in the full Data base is time consuming. How can i delete the duplicate records using a query? Is this function available hidden someplace in the guts of Access? Seems like this would be a frequent problem. The Microsoft forum addresses this problem and the only viable solution is the manual method, when they get to the Query method it looks like they just forgot what the subject was and tell you how to delete one record if you know what the criteria is. If two non Key fields are Identical then i want to delete one of the records.

Modules & VBA :: Deleting ImportError Tables

Oct 4, 2014

I'm running MS Access 2007. I'm creating an import procedure (for 2003 and 2007) that will automatically import an EXCEL file into a table for MS Access 2003 and 2007. The automatic import procedure works fine, but everytime the procedure is ran it creates an 'ImportError' table, due to blank rows (i.e. 'Type Conversion Failure'). The blank rows are due to the source EXCEL file not having value in a cells. This is normal for the source EXCEL file. These 'ImportError' tables are numbered each time this procedure is ran. I added a 'DoCmd' (see below for statement) statement in the procedure delete these tables, The below statements are used in a loop. I see that there are several procedures out there that use 'DAO' to accomplish this. If possible, I would like to use something that will use the below 'DoCmd' statements. This will eliminate the need to touch each PC to set 'ADO' or 'DAO' on.

DeleteTblCnt = DeleteTblCnt + 1
DoCmd.DeleteObject acTable, "Import Data_ImportErrors"
DoCmd.DeleteObject acTable, "Import Data_ImportErrors" & DeleteTblCnt

Tables :: Creating Database Of Data Groups

Jul 19, 2013

My challenge is to take about 200 boxes, all of which are stuffed with file folders, and to create a database of their contents. That's all well and good. I made a simple table that listed the record, the date, etc, but I ran into trouble fairly quickly when I came across a folder that had folders inside of it. Basically I need a way to represent the folder structure the way it is in the box that makes sense within Access. What I'm imagining is something like this:

Record 1
Record 2
Record Group:
- Record 1
- Record 2
Record 3
Record 4

More recently though, I'm wondering if don't need to make a whole new table for that set of data. I just don't know how to set up the relationship

Tables :: Training Database With No Duplicate Data

Aug 3, 2013

I am preparing a "simple" training database. I want to do this smartly and not duplicate data.

My first table is the list of employees and their information. I have set a primary key (PK) up for each employee.

My second table is a list of training courses - title, description, start/stop time, credits, ... Each of these courses has a unique number (PK).

It's the final database table that is driving me nuts. I want it to show whether a n employee has taken/will take/not planning to take a course. My idea is to have a status field and then wanted to link that with a student number and a course number from the other tables.

In the past I would just have put common data fields StudentName from one table and CourseName from the other into the final database tables as a means of linking them. But I thought/read it's better to use a PK instead. Well when I make the third table up I get all of this Type Mismatch errors.

Deleting Data

Jun 16, 2004

I realize that some data entries are no longer needed. I want to delete them. However, I have this data within a relationship dependent upon autonumbers. For instance, table 1 is linked to table 2 is linked to table 3. As of now, only data in table 1 exists. In the future, corresponding data in 2 and 3 will need to be entered. How can I make sure that by deleting some entries within table 1, that i will not jeopardize the functioning of tables 2 and 3? What does one do in a situation like this?

Tables :: Deleting And Replacing A Linked Table?

Mar 5, 2014

My table (excel spreadsheet) sits on another directory from the DB. If I delete the table on this directory and immediately replace it with a table with the same filename, format, etc (only the data has changed) will each database user have to relink the table on their desktop DB? Or will the forms/subforms/reports still maintain their relationships/functions and just display the new data?

Tables :: Data From A Database To Create Excel Spreadsheet

Aug 15, 2014

I'm exporting data from a database (using a query) to create an excel spreadsheet. I then import said spreadsheet into a new database. I was hitting lots of problems (subscript out of range, violating this that and the other etc etc) which I cleared up and actually imported the data. Well today I cleared down the new database and imported the spreadsheet again and got this.

the contents of fields in 0 records were deleted and 0 records were lost due to key violations.Thereby followed what to do when you get these things happening.Now to me 0 records deleted and 0 records lost means it's all worked. WRONG!! No records were imported at all.
