Entering Multiple New Records (nearly Identical)
Jul 7, 2006
One set of users enter sales orders that are pretty simple in nature... Order Number, Item, Quantity, Ship To... etc. They occasionally run across the need to make multiple entries that are identical, because a customer wants the order delivered on a regular time schedule or they want invoiced in increments, etc.
So, they have a need to be able to enter as many as 50 orders, all identical except for the Order Number (and delivery date), all at once. None of these fields is a key field or an autonumber. Order Number is manually entered, though it is indexed - no duplicates. I'd like to create the ability within a form for them to put in a list of Order Numbers, plus the values for the other required entries, and have them populate the source table by applying all the entries to each of the individual Order Numbers.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!

Hello all.
I need to be able to enter a number of orders that would all be the same, but they will have different order numbers, in sequence.
I'd like to enter all the information in a form, then have "First Order Number" and "How Many?" fields, and have the system grab the detail, apply it to the order number entered, create a record in the table, then reapply the detail to the next sequential number, repeating the process until it has created the number of orders shown in the "How Many?" field.
I am at a total loss here, and any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!
Thanks!
Tom

Hi All,
Being a newb, have a hopefully straightforward question. I'm writing a vehicle management database which covers eleven seperate areas. The data is currently contained in a spreadsheet with eleven seperate data sheets, one for each area. My thinking is I use linked tables as the spreadsheet needs to be occasionally updated.
My difficulty...
If I want to cycle through all records, I assumed I could query against all tables but don't seem to be able to.
The tables are not currently linked in any way and contain fields such as registration, emissions, list price, make and model and so on.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
Q :)

The problem I'm having is that i need to combine 12 tables with multiple columns and not all columns have the same headers. So if a column is present it should be updated, if not it should be added.
The end result should be one column with all records and all columns that exists in all 12 tables.
The tables have an identifier that is the same for all columns (supplier reference).
Table 1 has 56 columns
Table 2 has 42 columns (of which some have the same header)
....
(--doing every column manually is something i would like to avoid if possible --)

I have two tables: tblOne and tblTwo with identical categories.
TblOne and tblTwo both group by Category and Duration. When I make a union query between tblOne and tblTwo, I notice that if I have the exact same category and duration for BOTH tblOne and tblTwo, the union query "eats up" one of the identical entries. How can I fix this?
I need to have two different tables because they correspond to two different machines (but are both the same type of machine, hence the identical categories)

I have written a simple query for address label printing purposes, but I do not want to print labels to identical postal addresses.This sounds such a simple requirement but my efforts to write a simple 'criteria' in the Address1 Field have been unsuccessful.

I have a database that was created by a colleague. They have created a form for adding client records onto the database.This is done via a button that, when pressed, checks mandatory fields for correct entries and then saves the record.However, when we do this, it is creating two identical records on the database.
She cannot see what she has done wrong in the code, and I know next to nothing about coding,
Code:
Private Sub CmdAdd_Click()
Dim dbAddClient As DAO.Database
Dim rstAddClient As DAO.Recordset
Set dbAddClient = CurrentDb
Set rstAddClient = dbAddClient.OpenRecordset("ClientInfo")
[code]...

I'm trying to create a database for a construction company, as an experiment more than anything, and my problem is this:
I need to create a set of identical records in the table "buildings" based on the information entered into a text box by a user on the form for registering a new project. I want each record to be identical except for the "plot number" field, which I want to start at one and increase to the number of buildings defined in the text box.
"Projects" is one table and "Plots" is in the other.

I can't seem to find a way to solve this problem:confused:
I'm working on a database to run my window cleaning business. I have a customers table which contains all the details for each customer ie address, name etc.
There is also a Jobs table which will contain a record every time a customer's windows are cleaned.
There is a one to many relationship between them ie, 1 customer to many jobs.
I would like to create a form which would list all the customers which are due to be done and then be able to create a job record for each customer in the Jobs table, showing that it's done, with the click of a button.
For one, I can't get both tables to display on a continous form because of the relationship and then I don't know any other way of creating multiple new records in one go.
Would i have to use VB code for this or is there a simpler way? I just can't get my head around this one:mad:

I've designed a form to enter several items at the same time, eg, I want to enter aeveral company names on one form. The trouble is that when I enter data into one box, it appears in all the other boxes with the same field names, not allowing multiple data, is there a way around this?

I've created simple data base with 2 connected table with relationship one to many, then I have built the querry based on those 2 table and then I have done the form based on this querry, so there are fields from those 2 tables in the form.
When I try to fill in the fields with information I get error message:
"You can not add record (records); missing foreign key in the table"
When I checked relationship property window everything seems to be ok.

Basically I am inputting stock into my database so I can have a record of what I have left and who it's gone too. Where I'm stuck though is when I want to add an item that I have more than one off but only enter it once and have it assigned a unique stock ID number (this is in the form of an autonumber) for however much quantity I choose to enter. So for example I have 5 keyboards, I type in 'Keyboard' into my item field (named txtItem) and then type '5' into my quantity field (named txtQuantity). When I then press Add Stock (named btnAddStock) I should then see in the table, 5 separate Keyboards listed each with a different Stock ID number.

I need to enter workload counts for 10 people, and it is done on a monthly basis. So I have a table of Months (Jan-Dec), a table of names, and a joined table with the months, names and a field for the workload counts.
I would like to make a form where I could select the month and all the names show up so I could go and enter the counts for everyone at the same time. I've attached a diagram to show what it would look like

uh.. I guess the title pretty much sums it up... Is there a way to enter data in a text box or something once, and have it applied to all the filtered records?
I have it set up so that we can sort by project number, and it displays only the invoices that havent been assigned to a bill (we recover the expenses form our parent company). I dont want to have to enter the same bill number to each of the filtered records individually.
Thanks

In the code in this tutorial shown here [URL] It says to create RentalRates with no Navigation Buttons. Then after creating the form, that has no navigation buttons, I am to create 8 records in the next step. I assume it means to create the 8 records using the form RentalRates.
Now that is confusing. Do they enter the records using the newly created RentalRecords form or enter the records on the Table Categories; which is the RentalRecords form's record source?
Now I know of one way to enter the records which is to put Navigation Buttons to yes, enter the records and then put Navigation Buttons back to no. I do not think that is what they mean. What do they mean?

I've created a student database with multiple tables that all relate to my primary table. I do not want anyone adding new student records to the primary table, so to make it as user-friendly as possible, I've created a form for entering new records. This form is based on a query that shows all the student information (from all tables) and now I find I cannot add new records. Is it possible to use a form based on a query for data entry? Or do I need to instead base the form on my primary table?

I have a form with 15 unbound text boxes (daily temperatures) and what I am trying to do after entering the temperatures into the text boxes the user clicks an add button which will add 15 new records into the temperature table
the code I have started off with is
Code:
CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO ColdTemperatures (ProductID, ColdTempDate, Temperature) VALUES (" & Lettuce & ", #" & Me.RealTime & "#, " & Me.Lettuce & ")"
which adds 1 successfully however if i repeat the code above for all 15 this Im assumming will create a potential bottleneck and slow the system down
is it possible to add all 15 records at once? do you think Im going at this the right way

I need to count records based on multiple criteria from two different tables. I have two tables (i.e. "tblTasks" and "tblTaskHistory"). The tables have a one-to-many relationship based on the "TaskID" field. "tblTasks" has a field called "AssignedTo" and "tblTaskHistory" has a field called "TaskStatus". I need to know how many tasks have been "reopened", the "reopened" status is located in the "TaskStatus" field in "tblTaskHistory". I need this count against a unique listing of employees which can be found in the "AssignedTo" field in "tblTasks".

Hi,
I have a query which I run in the query design view. Then I have the same exact query which I run on the 'background' of a form.
The issue is, both queries turn out to have different record counts(eventhough I am using the same query and same tables). What is going on? Please help.
Thank you.

I have a query that is based on two other queries (they feed a larger query that a report uses). They are all select queries, no make-table, etc.
The query runs fine against the production oracle database. However when the query is run off of either of the two identical test databases (production was dumped into test within the last week), the query stops with an error of Invalid Operation.
The Help Screen (see below) doesn't seem to apply to anything this query is doing. Any thoughts?
Invalid operation. (Error 3219)
Possible causes:
You tried to write to a read-only property. See the Help topic for the property to determine whether it is read/write.
You tried to use a method or property on a type of Recordset object that the method or property does not apply to. See the Recordset object summary topic to determine which methods and properties apply to a given type of Recordset object.
You tried to append a property to a Properties collection of an object that does not support user-defined properties.
You tried to use the Update method on a read-only Recordset object.
Thanks,
B

Friends own a book shoppe. They have closed up both their retail stores and are working on line only. A long time ago they bought a PC based program to keep their inventory and manage their on line sales. The program is called BookTrakker and still on sale today.
I called them to ask for assistance merging the access databases for but stores with their Master database. The owner sads they dont offer any assistance in combining databases.
I have had no trouble using the append command to combine the 40 odd tables in the database except for one small table called Keywords. This table only has 5 fields but the sallest has over 7,000 rows. This is one of the more important tables because Keywords are used by the search engines on-line for potential buyers find their interests.
The error message I get from Access is "Microsoft Outlook Access set 0 field(s) to nulll due to a type conversation failure, and it didn't add (number of rows in table) to the table due to key violations, 0 records due to lock violations, and 0 records due to validation rule violations"
The table structure is identical. The only difference is the data in the rows.
I tried removing both Primary Keys for both the tables (in and out). Nothing, same error message.
Next I tried appending the tables without the entire Keyword_id (Primary Key) field. Nothing same error message.

I have a table (tbl Team Info) which contains names and codes for teams within my business (>400 records) and another table (tbl Process) which contains a list of high level tasks (30 records).
I need to create something where for each team name 9in tbl Team Info) I can map them to the tasks that they undertake (in tbl Process) and assign a percentage of time then spend on each task. Each team could map to several different tasks.

Here is the situation that I'm hoping that someone can help me with. I'm working with a database that tracks our condo units - from prospect coming into the system until we close them as a buyer. All the units are setup in the system so a salesperson will select from the units available. All that works fine when I create reports. The problem is trying to get the parking and storage on the same reports with the unit information. The problem is that there are multiple parking/storage units "attached" to a single unit and I cannot figure out how to get them to all appear on a single row of the report. As an example -
I have units A, B, C
Parking units p1,p2,p3,p4,p5,p6
Storage units s1,s2,s3.
Unit A uses parking units p1, p2, p5 and storage unit s2.
Unit B uses parking unit p3 and storage unit s1.
Unit C uses parking unit p4, p6 and storage unit s3.
How do I write a query/report that would show:
Unit Parking Storage
Unit A p1, p2, p5 s2
Unit B p3 s1
Unit C p4,p6 s3
Thanks,
Chester Campbell

I have three tables. Risk, Names and RiskAndNamesJunction table. I have the junction table because I have many to many relation (meaning many people can be connected to one risk and many risks can be connected to one people).
The problem is that If I make a query to show the people related to the risks, if there are many people for one risk then it will put the people in different rows. Meaning that for risk 2 I will have three rows, because there are three people connected to this rows. See the attached file!
What I would like to do is to have a query which (in case there are more than one risk owners) puts the second name in another column, the third name in another column and so on. So I will have only one row per risks.
The attached file is a dummy file, so there are only maximum three names per risk. In the real file the maximum is five names per risk. So I am talking about no more then five extra columns. (So I am talking about a query which would put the first finding in the first extra column, then the second item in the second and so on till five. It there is no third or fourth or fifht item then the columns remain blank).
Unfortunately I have to do this because our mother company works with excel and they are sticking to this format in excel.
See the attached file ....
