Duplication Pain In The Neck... Do U Have The Remedy
Nov 7, 2006
Hi Everyone,
I have posted this question twice but i did not get any promissing response that could made my day.
I have a Database with one table. The database has a two forms. One is called Header Form Having following fields:
ClassNo, RollNo, Grade, Name.
and the other form is DETAIL form having following fields:
Month, Year, Subjects, Percentage, Result
Now it works this way. The user first enters data to HEADER form and presses a button that saves the HEADER information to the table then it takes the user to DETAIL form which shows all the fields(Non Modified) from HEADER of the record entered most recently and DETAIL form fields. Basically the DETAIL form is comprised on main(HEADER) and subform(DETAIL).
Now my problem is that when i enter particulars to the HEADER Form and press the button to jump to DETAIL form it works fine. on DETAIL form when i add a record and move the cursor to the next record it also accepts all the data entered on DETAIL form. But when i look at the data stored in table it gives me duplicate entries. I have set the form DUPLICATE on a query which returns non duplicate values. If i enter one DETAIL Item it shows no duplication but when i add more that one record to DETAIL it shows min 2 records with same ClassNo.
Here how my table looks like
Record No 1: ClassNo, RollNo, Grade, Name.
01 10 9 john
Month, Year, Subjects, Percentage, Result
Nov 99 Maths 76 Pass
Record No 2: ClassNo, RollNo, Grade, Name.
01
Month, Year, Subjects, Percentage, Result
Mar 99 Chemistry 87 Pass
My form is not putting the Header data on any record after second. It only puts ClassNo field in each child record.
Please Help Me with this and thanks for your patience for reading my problem. I hope someone will give me a chance to say thanks.
I have two tables and one has Job Associated Name and the date we began the job, the other table has the job associated name, however it is repeated. I want to have the date show up on the other table so that I can have it appear on a report. The two tables are linked by job associated name.
I have been killing myself trying to make a simple invoice database. It only has four tables.... clients, products, invoice, invoice_details.... Well its been a while since I have used access and I wanted to make this simple database for my cousins small hardware store. All my relationships are fine all forms are great but the only thing that its driving me crazy is that when I create the invoice form with the invoice_details subform and make some little changes like convert to combo from text box ext, before on my 97office all I did was change the text boxes to combo select the product on the detail and I would get the price of the product, Now when I do it in office 2003, it does not work.....it always shows $0.00
So I converted a 97 file I had of a small database to 2003 and the invoice worked great, as soon as I deleted the forms and created newones the crap wont show the prices!!!!!...
Is this just me or is there something we have to trigger in office 2003 for this to work?!!!
Ok, I'm setting up a new frontend for my DB, as it needs to give some different forms etc to a different person using it. I want to link a couple of the tables that are needed, and I get the message 'blah can't open the file. It is either located outside your local intranet or on an untrustworthy site.. blah blah blah.... won't open file because of possible security issues'
This file is located on a mapped network drive on the local network, and it used to open just fine.... any ideas what has happened and how I can turn off this 'feature'?
I have the surname, address1, City & Phone number Indexed(Duplicates ok) but if the combination of all 4 fields match then I want this to be not allowed. I guess maybe I should make the primary key the combination of all 4 fields, not sure how to do that though. Hope this makes sense.
Hi all In my client data entry form i have a key field clientid if a duplicate id is entered it allows the whole form to be completed and wipes entire form on exit, this is ok but how can i get an error message to warn about the duplication of id. Thanks Dave
On our database, we have a form that has 2 calendars. A start date and an End Date. The users fill in the name, and a couple other fields. Then select the start date, and end dates.
When they hit submit, the form enters into the table this info for each date in-between the start and end dates. For example if the users enters they will be taking vacation, then they enter 8/1 as a start and 8/10 as a end date. It will make an entry for each day. This works pretty well for us.
But I would like to improve it if possible.
Let say, a user a month ago made an entry that they would be work 8/23 at home. So in the database it has 8/23 at home.
Well, this week they decide they are going to take a vacation 8/21-8/25. So they make the new entry with start date 8/21 and end date 8/25. The form enters all the info just fine.
But if someone runs a report they see 8/23 at home, and also 8/21, 8/22, 8/23 ect on vacation. So gets a little confusing to where they actually are
So I was wondering if there is a way, for the database to prompt the person making the entry, that there is already an entry for 8/23 and ask if they want to delete it or save it? Then continue on creating the entries for the rest (8/24 and 8/25 in this example?).
Has anyone seen something like this? I was going to search, but not really sure what to search for on the forum.
Hello, I am suing an append query to append new tables to an existing table. However, I only want to append the records that are not in the existing table. I have three variables: Category, Group, Project. None of them are unique. How to wirte this query.
For example: In existing Table:
Category Group Project A 1 Pro1 A 1 Pro2 A 2 Pro1 B 1 Pro1 B 2 Pro1
Now I have two records:
A 1 Pro3 A 1 Pro1
I only want to append A 1 Pro3 to the existing table.
I have a form with information on it relating to several linked tables. I would like this information to be duplicated in the tables and a new autonumber assigned.
Is there a way that I can do this by clicking one button and the autonumber will automatically generate a new number keeping the rest of the information in the form and updating the tables with a new record?.
is there a way that I can compare the ID number from a combo box selection and a table... in order to avoid duplicating that same entry?
ie If me.cbo1.column(0) = [table name].[field] then me.cbo1.column(0) and me.cbo1.column(1), etc... = vbWhite
End if
What I am ultimatly trying to accomplish is a way to get rid of one selection in a combo box after it has been selected once and used for another record. is the .requery a better method... if it is, can someone please elaborate on how to use that a little more.
Table one - tblContent Table two - tblConentImport
I have built a select query that will identify all records that from the tblConentImport table that do not already exist on the tblContent table.
Here is the SQL - SELECT [tblConentImport].[ID], [tblConentImport].[LoginName], [tblConentImport].[Title], [tblConentImport].[Type], [tblConentImport].[Code], [tblConentImport].[Date Assigned], [tblConentImport].[Date Started], [tblConentImport].[Last Accessed], [tblConentImport].[Progress], [tblConentImport].[Date Completed], [tblConentImport].[Time Spent (min)], [tblConentImport].[Score], [tblConentImport].[Result] FROM tblConentImport LEFT JOIN tblContent ON ([tblConentImport].[Code]=[tblContent].[Code]) AND ([tblConentImport].[Type]=[tblContent].[Type]) AND ([tblConentImport].[Title]=[tblContent].[Title]) AND ([tblConentImport].[LoginName]=[tblContent].[LoginName]) WHERE ((([tblContent].[LoginName]) Is Null) And (([tblContent].[Title]) Is Null) And (([tblContent].[Type]) Is Null) And (([tblContent].[Code]) Is Null));
I then built an append qry that appends the new records to the tblContent table.
Her is the SQL -
INSERT INTO tblContent SELECT [qrySelectContentTable].[LoginName] AS LoginName, [qrySelectContentTable].[Title] AS Title, [qrySelectContentTable].[Type] AS Type, [qrySelectContentTable].[Code] AS Code, [qrySelectContentTable].[Date Assigned] AS [Date Assigned], [qrySelectContentTable].[Date Started] AS [Date Started], [qrySelectContentTable].[Last Accessed] AS [Last Accessed], [qrySelectContentTable].[Progress] AS Progress, [qrySelectContentTable].[Date Completed] AS [Date Completed], [qrySelectContentTable].[Time Spent (min)] AS [Time Spent (min)], [qrySelectContentTable].[Score] AS Score, [qrySelectContentTable].[Result] AS Result FROM qrySelectContentTable;
This works great as long as the [tblContent].[type] is not equal to "Class".
This select query and append query have not created duplicate records in my tblContent
Please help me. I'm loosing my mind. Below is the address to view this database. The select qry is named - qrySelectContentTable. The append qry is named qryAppend Content Table.

Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
i have a table called tbl1. in this table i have field month, year, or trainee. is it possible that above mentioned three field found same data table automatically delte those rows. so i found only unique data. or their is another way to make this possible.
Everytime I change the picture of an image, a duplicate is made. I can see this in the "Insert Image" menu. It this moment, I have over 6000 duplicates which slow my form down alot. I know that you can delete these duplicates by accessing the system tables, but is there a way to stop this automatic duplication? An example is a button that makes an arrow change direction. Every time you click the button, a duplicate of the picture gets saved.
I would like to execute a code to remove the duplications in the MS Access Query but keeping one one data of the duplications.
For example, in the below data, I want to check for the data in the column Part No. The part number 123 and 234 are repeated twice so I want to delete the part no 123 and 234 that repeated second time and keeping the one data.
I am a newbie. I am building mutiple tables/queries in one form. I got it to work but it is duplicating records where a name appears more than once. How can I stop this.
I've been trying to use some code I've found to prevent a user from entering a duplicate ID. I've tried this:
Dim Answer As Variant Answer = DLookup("[SAR_ID]", "Request", "[SAR_ID] = '" & Me.SAR_ID & "'") If Not IsNull(Answer) Then MsgBox "Duplicate SAR ID Found" & vbCrLf & "Please enter again.", vbCritical + vbOKOnly + vbDefaultButton1, "Duplicate"
Cancel = True Me.SAR_ID.Undo Else: End If
but it displays the message even if I don't enter a duplicate.
Once you open the db. open up the frmQuoteLog and the frmPDMontior. You will notice one record is displayed in the frmPDMonitor (Justin Ryan). This is correct.Now to test out the issue leave open the frmPDMonitor and frmQuoteLog at the same time. Go to frmQuotLog, go to the first record, make the "Sales Coordinator" = "Chris April", then check the box that says "Display on Product Design Monitor", then press the "Save Changes" button.
Then look at the frmPDMonitor and you will notice the new record is now displayed on the form. This is correct as well.Leaving open both forms, go to frmQuoteLog and uncheck the box you previous checked on the first record, then press "Save Changes".
Then look again at the frmPDMontior and notice that the previous record is gone but the remaining record is now duplicated.Only when I close the frmPDMonitor and reopen it, does the duplication go away.How can I avoid this duplication without closing and reopening the frmPDMonitor? The purpose of this form is to be ran 24/7.

I have a database with a large number of records: ~2000, so I use a form in datasheet view to filter and sort the records to find a particular one.
This works fine for locating a certain record.
Sometimes I then need to make a new record but I will be duplicating a few fields from the one I just found.
At the moment I manually do this by copying each field I want into word and then pasting as appropriate into fields in the new record.
Is there anyway I can still use datasheet view to search for a record, then select certain fields and have them duplicated into a new record?
I should add that the datasheet view is locked for editing, I have a separate form in single form view for entering a new record. Sort of vital information i missed out there.
I want to be able to append data programatically once daily OnClose.Although users can log-off & on as many times,but the Append should be once & after then,update subsequent records for that day automatically from table1-table2.
