Difficulty Combining Insert Into Or Select Into With A Union, Please Help!
Jan 23, 2007
I am having difficulty getting a query to work, there's probably something really simple I'm missing. . . I can get the Union function to work but I can't get it to create a table for me. The basic query looks like this:
INSERT INTO test
SELECT * FROM [Design] WHERE (Design.CID Not Like "*-*")
UNION
SELECT * FROM [Release] WHERE (Release.CID Not Like "*-*")
It works fine and shows me the table I want without the first line, but I would like it to input into a new or existing table. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I have a UNION of two SELECT queries. It works very well but I need the end-user to be able to modify the data so I am using INSERT INTO tablename. This will work for one query at a time but if I try to use the UNION it reports “Syntax error in FROM clause”. Can you use UNION in this case or can anyone see my error?
The full statement is rather complex, I have added a few spaces and linebreaks to make it readable as follows:
INSERT INTO TableCompleteForMailing
SELECT [Address List].[FamilySurname] AS Surname,
[Address List].[DEARFirstnames] AS FirstName,
[Address List].[Mailing] AS Mailing,
[Address List].[Christmas Mailing] AS OtherMailing, [Address List].[Address 1] AS Address1,
[Address List].[Postcode] AS Postcode
FROM [Address List]
UNION
SELECT [Names].[LastName] AS Surname,
[Names].[FirstName] AS FirstName,
[Names].[MailingList] AS Mailing,
[Names].[Selected] AS OtherMailing,
[Address List].[Address 1] AS Address1,
[Address List].[Postcode] AS Postcode
FROM [Names],[Address List]
WHERE [Names].[AddressListID]=[Address List].[AddressListID]
Wondering whether it is possible to use the 'Make Table' function in conjunction with a union query. My early attempts have failed and I am relatively new to Access.
I have a query that requires a selection from my list box "[Forms]![ViewReports]![ListFilterName]"
I have a list box with a UNION so that I can query all contacts. The bound column is one.
SELECT 0,"<<ALL","TEAM MEMBERS>>" from Contacts UNION (SELECT Contacts.ID, Contacts.[First Name], Contacts.[Last Name] FROM Contacts ORDER BY [Last Name]);
Problems
The list is not ordering by last name.
The query does not assume all contacts when "<<ALL","TEAM MEMBERS>>" is selected.
If you open the form called people you will see a command button Called add charge once pressed will open a form called charge
On the Bill To combo Box I have the following Union Select Query
SELECT PrimaryInsurance, PersonID FROM tblpeople UNION Select SecondaryInsurance, PersonID FROM tblPeople
What I want the bill to combo box to display is only the Insurances that are related to the Patient that the charge is for and not to display other patients insurances
I have Access2003 and a problem creating a simple method of constructing a union query.
I am using a commercial paradox databse that has a habit of creating a new table every time a certain action is performed. There is currently a set of 160 tables with identical fields. The database allows me to view data in these tables individually. I would like to pull the information together, from between 20 and 30 specific tables at any one time, and view the data in one table.
I have linked the tables in a an access database and would go about viewing the data by creating a union query containing each of the tables of interest. Then appending the info in these tables to a new table.
Unfortunately manually adjusting the SQL expression is a bit cumbersome to say the least I am wondering if it possible to select the tables of interest from a List Box on a simple form and have those selected inserted into the union query ?
Alternatively, the table names are actually a field within a different table. Another field within this table actually determines whether they will be of interest. So ideally I could query that table to tell me which tables need to appear in the union query. Again I would like the union query generated automatically as a result of that query.
I am confident, perhaps without good reason , that this must be possible ....
Im trying to join two queries as I am unable to use just a single query but I cant use a union query as the query fields aren't exactly the same.
Both queries have a PO_Detail field as every PO has a PO_Detail number assigned to it. 3 of the same records are in both query results but one query is missing the other two results.
If I create a join between the two queries based on this field I don't get all the results. Unfortunately I cant upload the database as it has sensitive data which would take me ages to clear out but I can show a picture of the results.
My thinking must not be right as I can't get this to work but i have a table with
Date AMT 02/05 50 02/06 20 and soforth....
I am summing up each week and putting this in a table with values
WeekBeginningDate WeekEndingDate SumofAmt
I am trying to do INSERT INTO tblTwo ("02/05/2007", "02/09/2007", SumOfAmt) SELECT sum(Amt) FROM tblOne where TDate >=#02/05/2007# and TDate <= #02/09/2007#
The two dates in the INSERT INTO are just values and the SumOfAmt is from the select. Can someone help me with this? Thanks in Advance!!
hi guys. i was hoping you guys could help me, i have a combo box "cbocontract" which gets populated according to a selection from another combobox(cboAll). now i have another combo box(cboStatus) which according to what the user selects in cbocontract list box it should display active or inactive, now i have the row source from the cboStatus like this:
SELECT DISTINCTROW Test.Status FROM TEST WHERE (TEST.Facility=forms![Change of Status]!txtInvoice.value) and (TEST.PM_Contract_ID=forms![Change of Status]!cboContract);
it works perfectly, however is there a way to make put this code in a text box? how do i insert the select distinctrow into a textbox??? it should only display one value according to what the user selects in the cbocontract combo box... also, the user should be able to edit this textbox.
I have an append query that contains an IIF statement. I want to code that into a VBA function. The SQL view of the query looks like this:
Code: INSERT INTO tmpAvailInv ( NUID, Inv_Name, F_Name, M_Name, L_Name, Role ) SELECT tblPeople.NUID, tblPeople.[F_name] & IIf(IsNull([M_Name])," "," " & [M_Name] & " ") & [L_Name] AS Inv_Name, tblPeople.F_Name, tblPeople.M_Name, tblPeople.L_Name, tblPeople.Role FROM tblPeople WHERE (((tblPeople.Role)="Investigator") AND ((tblPeople.Archive)=False));
What I wrote for the VBA code is this:
Code: Dim strSQL As String Dim db As Database Set db = CurrentDb
[code]....
Where it chokes is on the IIF statement with the double-quotes in it. I've tried several combinations with single quotes and double double-quotes. I'm just not getting it.
I have a table which contains business details (name, address etc) and also a field for clients. I then have a table which contains client details. Is there anyway I can click a button on a form containing business details which brings up a form containing the clients which would allow me to click the clients I want to be inserted onto the clients field on the business details table?
I want to insert obtain marks of the subjects. Find the attached my db. when i select combo value my requirement is to insert the all records which associate with the combo. but when i select combo value it will happen nothing.
I have a simple database that has in the same record in a table 3 fields of last names that are populated by entering the data in a form. There could be the same last names in each of the 3 fields. (ie; John Doe, Mary Doe, Little Doe) My problem is that I want to make a report by clicking on a button searching by the last name (Doe) and consider each of the 3 last names in my search criteria. Does anyone know how this can be accomplished as not to miss any of the (Doe's in this case)? Please help if you can I know it sounds confusing.
Hi, I was wondering why the following code would give me an invalid SQL statement message:
Dim Rs As New ADODB.Recordset Rs.Open "Manzanero # 450", CurrentProject.Connection, adOpenKeyset, adLockBatchOptimistic
The error message is:
"Invalid SQL Statement; expected 'Delete', 'Insert', 'Procedure', 'Select', or 'Update" I'm just trying to open up the table "Manzanero # 450" so that I might add to its contents. I have Microsoft Active X Data Objects 2.6 library included as well. I find it strange since this is basically a line for line copy of a sample I found in a MS Access book. Please help. Thanks! =)
I have a sub form with staff records on it within a main form. I am trying to allow the user to select a record from the sub form and add it to a table, here is my code which, to me, looks correct. However it gives me an error saying "Syntax error in INSERT INTO"
Code: Private Sub Command3_Click() Dim dbs As Database Dim sqlstr As String Set dbs = CurrentDb Forename = Nz(Forms!frm_Capex_Submission!frm_staffSub.Form.shy_forename, "") Surname = Nz(Forms!frm_Capex_Submission!frm_staffSub.Form.shy_surname, "")
I am finding it more and more difficult to answer questions lately, is it just me or has the quality of the questions gone down?
In some cases it appears that the "question" is more of a request to have something done for them than actually trying to solve a problem that they are having with a learning process.
I am having difficulty creating code that will compare a date in one table (or query) in the [Expire] field and subtracting two months from the date and automatically placing the newly calculated date into the table (or query) in the [Notify Expiration] second field. For example:
Please note that for the month of January and February, the subtraction is minus two for these two months and the subtraction is minus one for the year. All other subsequent months just subtracts two for the months leaving the year intact. I would appreciate any help that will progmatically accomplish these calculations.
(This is a modified repost - which hopefully makes sense) I am using Access2003. I am trying to set up a fast method of creating a union query. I have a jobs table that stores info about jobs with a separate table for each job that pulls together info from elsewhere when a review is conducted. The tables are as follows (and are linked from a paradox DB) :-
Table Name: jobs JobID (J000001, J000002, etc) Status (Live, Filled, etc)
Review Tables
Table Name: J000001 / J000002 etc Consultant: (Joe, Terry etc) ObjectID: (RoberI, SmithJ etc) Status: (H, P, D, R etc)
The jobs table contains information about jobs, including a unique code (JobID) that identifies the job. There is also a status filed that tells us whether the job is Live or closed etc.
The first time a job is reviewed a new table, a review table is generated, and the name of the table is the same as the JobID for that job. So Job J000001 has a review table with table name J000001 etc. The review tables may contain information with the same ObjectID (as they are unique fields from a third table – the candidates table)
I would like to generate a union query for all jobs in table jobs with a status of live. I can do this manually, if I review a list of live jobs, with the following sql expression;
SELECT ObjectID, Consultant, Status, "J000001" as [JobNo] FROM J000001 UNION SELECT ObjectID, Consultant, Status, "J000002" as [JobNo] FROM J000002 UNION SELECT ObjectID, Consultant, Status, "J000003" as [JobNo] FROM J000003;
I can then append the info into a new table. However this query is run at least twice a day and things change.
I would like to know is there a means of automatically generating sql for the union query based on results of a query of the jobs table ?
SELECT UnionTable.groupby, UnionTable.SeqID, UnionTable.Actual FROM (
SELECT VAP1.groupby, VAP1.SeqID, VAP1.SomVanbedrag as Actual FROM qryVoorplaatActualPillar_Forecast AS VAP1
UNION
SELECT VAP2.groupby, VAP2.SeqID, VAP2.SomVanbedrag as Actual FROM qryVoorplaatActualPillarIST_Forecast AS VAP2) AS UnionTablewhich is two select queries called UnionTable and a wrapper. Access handles this very well. Until you look at the SQL statement. If you don't pay attention Access stores the next query SELECT UnionTable.groupby, UnionTable.SeqID, UnionTable.Actual FROM [
SELECT VAP1.groupby, VAP1.SeqID, VAP1.SomVanbedrag as Actual FROM qryVoorplaatActualPillar_Forecast AS VAP1
UNION
SELECT VAP2.groupby, VAP2.SeqID, VAP2.SomVanbedrag as Actual FROM qryVoorplaatActualPillarIST_Forecast AS VAP2]. AS UnionTable Now when you want to execute the query you get an errormessage. Has anyone seen this before? Is this a known bug or is it a feature? Is there a workaround?
