Help Please.. How To Update One Column In Many Tables From One Form
Jul 26, 2007
I was just assigned this database task couple weeeks ago, I know VERY LITTLE. I have all my tables and forms set up. My company builds custom cars....very few per year. I have dozens of tables for all the different componetns of the car....and each table has the same column "Unit" in it. I have a form that when a new car is began being built, the the first thing it does is ask the user to type in the Unit for the new car, but that only puts it in the one table i referenced when creating this form. I want/need this Unit information to be placed in every single table (20+) that has the column "Unit" in it. How can i do this, any information is greatly helped.....im getting so frusturated, i feel like i've learned a lot in the past 2 weeks since starting but i stil really know hardly anything.
I'm trying to update all the rows in a column (column A, PO Number) within a table (iSupplierTable). The value (txtPONbr) is entered by the user on a form (NewPO).
Code: Private Sub cmdSubmit_Click() On Error GoTo cmdSubmit_Click_Error Dim db As Database Dim rst As DAO.Recordset Dim strSQL As String strSQL = "iSupplierTable"
I am trying to run a simple update query to copy data from one column (Addrl1)to another column (Working_Addrl1) within the same file and I can't for the life of me figure it out. Then I need to repeat for addrl2 and addrl3 to working_addrl2 and working_addrl3.
DoCmd.RunSQL (" update tbl_userinformation SET [05-Henrichpiramid] = Yes where Username= Text146.value AND actualdate=Text148.value ;") DoCmd.RunSQL (" update tbl_userinformation SET [combination] = [05-Henrichpiramid] where Username= Text146.value AND actualdate=Text148.value ;")
i want to update the column combination to its last value with concatanation to the value of current column.
I hope I'm posting in the right place, I've been trying to solve my problem using queries so I thought it might be appropriate here. I have a database for a health care service which contains among others the following four tables...
Table 1 contains client details, primary key [ClientID] plus other client details. Table 2 contains Episode of care details, primary key [EpisodeofcareID], [episodeofcareDate] etc... Table 3 contains all test results for assessment 1, primary key [CoreID], [CoreDate] plus numerous scores for individual tests. Table 4 contains all test results for assessment 2, primary key [HonosID], [HonosDate] plus numerous scores for individual tests.
Table 1 is linked to Table 2, and Table 2 is linked to both Table 3 & 4.
I have set up a search procedure whereby the user enters a clients name which then opens a list box of all clients with that name. When the client selects from the listbox I want a second listbox to open which has three visible columns. One giving the date of each episode of care for the client, the second giving the date of each assessment completed and the third giving the name of the assessment carried out.
I'm managing to get the date of the Episode of Care to display on the first visible column but I'm getting stuck on the next two. This would seem to involve somehow combining data from different tables into individual columns on the listbox. For example I need the second visible column on this listbox to list all the dates of assessments for the chosen client from tables 3 & 4. (e.g. [CoreDate] and [HonosDate]). Column three would then give the title of the assessment next to the date in column two. None of the tables have a field listing titles as this is determined by which table the data is entered into. I've been trying to solve this by queries without much success.
Could anyone give some ideas as to how I could solve these problems?
I have two tables "Clients" and "F/S tracking". The one commone field between the two is "Client Name". What I want to do is have one form that is used for data entry, that will update both tables with the "Client Name".
Is that possible? and if so how? I have had no luck with it yet.
I am in the process of developing a program for work. I am stuck on a form that I have developed to enter information on an injury report.
This is what I would like to do but stuck on how to get it completed. I have attached a stripped down version of my DB.
Injuries are entered in the "frmAccidentInvestigations." Once you have entered the employees information the form would automatically check to see if this employee is already in the "tblPersonnel." If the employee is already entered into the tblPersonnel you would continue with entering the information without any further prompts. This information is saved in the tblAccident.
If you are adding a new employee that is not in the "tblPersonnel" then a pop up window would open asking if you would like to add this record. If you hit "yes" it automatically saves the employee information into the "tblPersonnel" and the tblAccidents. This would allow you to check to see if you may have made a typo in the record. If you hit "No" then it continues with the Accident report.
The tblAccidents is filled with all of the injuries and you may have multiple records (Primary Key is the associate#). The tblPersonnel contains all of the information for employees and there are no duplicate records.
I have removed the information on the injury report to reduce the size of the attachment. The original DB has approximately 30 text boxes that you would have to enter information into.
Well this is one of my last bugs that I need to finish my DB and would appreciate any help you might provide.
I wrote a database for my daughter's dance school. There are two tables, one for personal details, the other for exam results. The data is separated this way because when I was given it all, I got it from two people in an Excel file.
When I programmed it, I had the Primary Key in the Master table auto-generated (an Integer) which I also used as the Primary Key in the ExamResults table. All the data manipulation is handled in code by Event Procedures.This is the code to update the Master Table when a new pupil's details has been entered and the 'Submit' button on the form clicked:
Code: Private Sub btnSubmit_Click() On Error GoTo btnSubmit_Error Dim curDatabase As Database Dim rstNameAddress As Recordset
[code]....
The woman who uses it told me the other day that she can't update the exam results for any pupil she has put into the database since I gave it her - records of pupils entered by me are OK.When I checked the code I realised that when a new record is created, there isn't a corresponding one in ExamResults. when is the Primary Key first generated and how do I program the form to update the new pupil's details in the ExamResults form when the Master table is first written to?
My db has several tables tb1, tb2 tb3 tb4 ..... I have link tb1 to tb2 (tb1Id to tb2)and linked tb2 to tb3 and tb4 (tb2Id to tb3 and tb4) I have created a form with several field from tb1 and tb2 and a single field for tb3 and tb4. All of the fields except one for tb1 are use to make a decision based on what they display. The only field that is updated on the form is a date conversion field from tb1. once you update this field it will auto populate a date field on tb1 with current date. you then have a choice of 4 commands to activate based on what is displayed form the rest of the form.
my problem none of the fields can be updated. can any one help
qry the form is based on
tb1 [Name] tb1 [ID] tb1 [date conversion] 'this is the only field that is manualy updated tb1 [date] 'updated base on date conversion field being updated tb2 [field] tb3 [Yes/no] tb4 [yes/no]
based on what is displayed on the form you have 4 choices of cmd buttons.
I have two tables that I want to update from data in an unbound form. How do I capture the ID of the new record created in table 1 in order to write it to a field in the new record being created in table 2.
I have 2 main tables. One with Data that I get from an outside source and cannot be changed. The other is one that needs to be updated as needed. I have a few look up tables so I can identify the codes with the descriptions. In 2003 I was able to make a big query and link my forms to the query to make modifications. I am not able to edit any information in the 2010 query. The people want it to work the way it did in the past but I am not skilled enough in access to do that. Is there an easy way to use a query when updating the form? I used to be able to edit the query itself and it would feed back into the existing tables.
Ok So I've created a Database to track phone calls coming into a call center. (Originally created in Open Office, but then we switched to Access)
I've got a form that has buttons to run multiple reports.
The Reports pull data from a table based off dates found in another table (Something I used in Open Office)
Table 1 has all the phone calls
Table 2 has a From date and a to date
The report pulls the phone calls in table 1 between the dates in table 2. In open office I used Subforms (Which were seemless) and combo boxes to update the dates in Table 2 before running the report.
Is there an easier way to accomplish this in Access? If so How? If Not, is there a way to make a seemless subform in Access?
I have a table with a column called Z_Status: the values of this column are DUP and Survivor, which means one of the record is Duplicate and another is survivor.
Now i have to update last Column called New_Account from Column C (EV870_ACCT_CODE), the New_Account Column should only be updated by the Max(EV870_ACCT_CODE) when grouping the information by Key2 Column.I have shown the output and highlited the result in Green background (please check the attachment).
My first post is on something that is troubling me. I have a Form acting as the display and entry point for data for a contact list, which is composed of two Tables as follows:
Contact - (text fields including: first name, last name, phone number home, phone number work, etc)
Industry Role - (yes/no tick boxes including: film, photographer, audio engineer, producer, reporter, etc)
The two Tables have a one to one relationship based on the URN field which is an autonumber. My problem is that when someone enters say a name, and then ticks a box, the autonumber will add two entries because it seems to see the first table then the second tables as sequential, and not the same thing. How do i go about making a form that can enter new records the same autonumber for two connected Tables?
I'm working to create a staffing database that houses changes to staffing week over week.
I have one primary table, the "empMaster" table, that stores the employee's name, contact information, etc. I have other individual tables for noting which employee reports to which manager, what their business title is, what group they're in, their training history, etc.
Once I've populated the empMaster table with employee information, I want a form that allows me to update each of the other tables IF there as a change. Some weeks will have a manager change, some only a business title change, some a group change, some a training change, some all of the above. The problem I run into is that I will sometimes process hundreds of changes a week, sometimes only 10-20 so I almost have to use datasheet view for mass edits. I'm relatively new to Access and I'm having a hard time getting my form to allow this level of flexibility and to update all fields needed.
When I build a form that includes more than two tables (let's say I want to update a Manager and a Business Title), the form will not work and populates nothing. I believe it's because Access wants there to be an existing record to match to across all three tables and there will not always be.
How do you create a form that is not tied to one single record source? In other words, I want to be able to select the record source that it updates. I have a bunch of tables that have the same data structure but are separated due to geographical nature among other reasons. Is there a way to do this?
My database allows you to log issues (see attached)
An issue will belong to the project, the project may have multiple test plans.
The issue will also be the primary responsibility of a company, and that company may have multiple contacts (people)
Now, i could create a form over the top of each table but then if someone wanted to add a new project, testplans for that project, suppliers (companies) for that project AND new contacts for those companies, they are going to end up going through loads, and loads of forms.
So my question is, what approach would you recommend to create a control panel where they could add these items with the fewest number of page switches possible? (preferably none.
I have a form that I need to turn into a table. The table will be updated each day with new information but I dont know what to do to keep the previous days info. I have attached the form ....
I'm using Access and Excel 2007.... I know how to import an Excel spreadsheet as a table.
I have several supplier price lists in Excel. I want to keep my vendor price lists up to date.
When one of my vendors tell me that a price has changed on a particular item, I figure that I could have a form that I could use to enter the changes.
I believe the form would look like:
Field: "Vendor" (drop down list to choose from. Name of the Supplier price lists) Required. Field: "OEM" (Key Field found in each table) Required. Field: "Brand" (Field found in each table) Not required. Field: "Price" (Field found in each table) Required.
OEM would be the unique key field.
If I enter the Vendor name and then the OEM number it would show if there is already that number in the Vendor price list and I could make changes. Or I could enter new data in that vendor price list.
i would like to sum all the column fields in a tables column where an id is the same as the id in that table. I know you can use the SUM function in the select statement of your query.
But how can i set this sum result into a variable, so i can use it for calculation further on in the program?
I have a form with two tables referenced. I am using the form only to update one of the tables. I am using the other table to pull a reference field. When I add my second table using the query builder, it makes it to where I can't edit/add in my form. I assume its because of the SQL insert statement, but I don't see this statement and can't find where it is to edit it. How to have the form only update one of the tables, while just using the second table as a reference for a field?
I have a table "Service_Information" with 6 Columns like ID, Part_No, Part_Name, Description, Morning_Records, Evening_Records.
Up to Morning_Records, the User will populate the Data with User Form.
I would like to populate the Column "Evening_Records" from Other Table "Evening_Variables" where the Data Exists. like Vlookup in Excel. Is it possible to do with Query?
I have a column in a table which I need to display in another table I can just copy and paste it but I need to it to update with the original. I don’t want to have to use a list or combo box as the data has to be selected from them and isn’t just displayed like the original column.
hello all I am trying to set column values to a random number between 3 and 5
PMRatingTokenID: textH1: doubleYearID: textCode:UPDATE PMRating SET PMRating.H1 = (5+3-3)*Rnd()+3 This shows type mismatch error . What is the problem here..
I have column called "order" in table called "mov" and this column has this layout
Code: 1 2 14 255 222 1755 12
And I want to update this column to be corrected numbering from 1 to the last cell number - lets say it 17540 - this update has no criteria conditions, just this field.
I am trying to run below to update multiple records in the same column and get error message saying characters found after end of SQL statement. I tried to remove ; but then get a syntax error.
Code: UPDATE [tblMonthly] SET [Date] = #20130701# where [File] = 'A'; UPDATE [tblMonthly] SET [Date] = #20130801# where [File] = 'B';
