My network was using Access 2000 and Word 2000. We recently upgraded to Access 2002 and Word 2002, but now none of my merge forms are working. I don't get any error messages, and the merge function does open Word, but all I get is the original source document and not the actual merge information. I checked my VB references and nothing is glaringly missing. What's the deal?

I am new to Acess, I am trying to merge 2 Access DBs and am not sure of the steps to accomplish this, if it can be accomplished and/or are there any tools to reach the same goal.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi, I'm very new to access so sorry if this request seems a bit stupid.
I'm trying to get one csv file for a database of cars so I can upload it to my open-realty account.
In one table is the car ID and there are fields like Price, Extras, Mileage etc associated to that ID. (this is how I want everything to stay) I would like additional fields like Photo 1, photo 2, photo 3....photo 25 related to each car.
In the second table there are photos of the cars but each photo has its own unique ID but a field that relates to the ID of the car it is associated to.
How do I merge the two tables into one simpler version?
I've attached screen shots of the two tables.
Thanks for any help.
Hello-
We are using an Access database for off-site data entry. We therefore have one master database we keep in the office and then a "template" version -which is identical to the master version except no records - we bring to each site, do the data entry and then merge that data back into the Master database.
Can anyone help suggest ways to make the data merging process more efficient. The database has approx 12 tables, so I dont' want to create an append query for each one every time. Is there a way to just "merge" two identical databases??
THANKS
I am trying to import some data (job details for a machine shop), that is being exported from a CNC program.
The export has all the information we need, in a delimited format, but it spreads this over several lines. I also contains lots of junk we don't need.
Access imports this, but those lines then form an individual record in a tempory table.
I missunderstood what the 'UNION' query was, and whilst this has created nicely organised data, with just the stuff we need, it gives it over 3 individual records.
I either need to combine the 3 records from the output of the UNION query into a single record, or (and I suspect this is the case, as the UNION query doesn't actually do anything if I think about it), find a way of combining different fields from the temp import table into a single record in the query.
I've done a fair amount of searching on 'merging records', but can't seem to find a similar problem. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Hello
I need to merge a set of Access tables. I am creating a database which will hold a large amount of records (upto 250 000 in one table). I am importing the data from an excel spreadsheet. As each spreadsheet is limited to 65000 records I had to save the file in 4 different spreadheets. However in Access I need all these files saved in one table. Can anyone please help me?
Thanks

View 4 Replies View RelatedHello first post here, I need some help!Sorry not sure if this should go under queries or tables.Anyway I'm working with quite a large access db (64mb).I want to merge data from several tables into one table.Its a supermarket db (not a real one). Its got a customer and product tableIts also got a table called agg_c_special_sales_fact_1997with the fields customer_id and product_id this shows what customers bought what product.I want to merge the data from customer, product and agg_c_special_sales_fact_1997 into one big table. I want the merge to be permanent so I can see the which customer (and all their details) bought which product (all details) in one big table. I ve been trying to do this all day (im quite new to SQL) I copied the data in agg_c_special_sales_fact_1997 into a new table "new_sales_fact". I added a row called brand_name to that I want to copy from the product tableSo far I ve come up with this:SELECT product.brand_name INTO new_sales_fact FROM product, agg_c_special_sales_fact_1997WHERE product.product_id = agg_c_special_sales_fact_1997.product.id;unfortuantely access asks me enter a parameter value when I run the query.Could this becuase agg_c_special_sales_fact_1997 is huge, its got 86,000+records?Can anyone help? I'd be most greatful this has been driving me insane all day!!thanks in advance! P.S the database is the test database that comes with Mondrian......P.P.S I know its not good practice to have all data in one big table but for the purposes of what im doing it will simplfy things a lot!

I'm not really an Access programmer, but I maintain a couple of databases for my own use (music collection etc.). I hope no-one minds me posting here :)
I've made a bit of a mistake. I had two copies of a database on different machines, and I entered new data into both of them.
Is there any way of merging two tables, discarding any records which are identical?
Many thanks in advance for any responses!
Cheers

Hi all :) I have 22 tables in my Access database, which is my catalogue data. I have it set up on dreamweaver. Now tho, i need a search engine going thro it, i have a script in access/dreamweaver that works. Only thing is, that the script only works thro one table. Now, is there some way to merge tables into one? Not just copy and paste, but all have the same specific name that i maybe able to link? (ie Name, description, code) Any ideas? A tutorial link would be great if anyone has come across a similar thing, thx!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have frequented this board on several occasions, and have used it extensively to help me on my project. But I am at a situation that I cannot seem to find a proper solution for, and feel like I need to solicit some input from more experienced people.
Problem: What I want to do is create a form utilizing two queries that will not only display the shoes and comments, but as I tab from record to record (each record a different shoe), the form will also display the total minutes for the shoe. (frmShoes in the database shows what I ultimately want)
Background: I am creating a database to track my exercise routine and jogging times, along with other variables. I have three tables (I deleted all the other extraneous garbage to alleviate any potential for confusion):
tblRunSession
Run Session ID pk
Shoes ID
-one-to-many w/tblLaps-
-one-to-one w/tblShoes-
tblLaps
Laps ID pk
Lap Number
Lap Time
Run Session ID fk
tblShoes
Shoe ID pk
Shoe Name
Comments
I want to use a form built off tblRunSession to enter a new day of running. On the form I would enter multiple laps, and minutes each lap was completed, along with the shoes (only one pair used per day) I wore that day. I accomplished the input utilizing tblLaps as a subform to tblRunSession.
I tried creating two queries: one (Query 1) from tblshoes, and the other (Query 2) from tblRunSession and tblLaps. I summed the individual lap times in Query 2 for each shoe. But when I try to create a third query based on Queries 1 and 2, it gets all messed up and confusing. I tried to use dlookup, but I quickly found that was beyond my knowledge level. I think some of the problem I’m experiencing (besides my limited brain capacity) is the fact that I am trying to use three tables to pull data from, and trying to make it all mesh. I’m sure it can be done, but I’m at a loss.
I attached what I have been working on in case anyone wants to look at it and set me straight. Thanks in advance for any suggestions or ideas anyone has to offer.
Hi,
I have a few tables with the same row and column headings but contain different data in their cells. Is there a query whereby I can basically merge everything to give me one view with everything in it?
Thanks
Greg.
Hi, this is really puzzleing me!
What i want to do is take a field from one table and a field from another and join them together to make a single field.
I know this wouldnt work in practice without selection statements etc so only one field is selected, but if you could just help me on this code i would be greatful!
For example, assuming that the tables tblMyDatatable, and tblOtherData consists only of one record with each containing a letter of "y" then:
SELECT [TheData FROM tblMyDatatable] & OtherData AS ThisQuery
FROM tblOtherData;
Should produce the following:
ThisQuery
yy
It dosent! Can anybody help?
I have an excell spreadsheet with member names
the member names are duplicated up to 6 times each depending on how many months from october - march they have been members.
The excellspreadsheet looks like this
Member name Member number October care level November care....
triscuit83 1234 1

Is there a way in access I could make triscuit 83 show up once and have all the care levels stay on the same line.
Please let me know if there are any clarifications needed.
I need help hardcore
****edit****** the example doesnt show up formated right basically 1 will be in the october column the first time and a 1 will be in the november column the second line.
Hi,
I'm an access newbie and was wondering how to merge two tables. for example, i have:
table1
col1 col2 col3
and
table2
col1 col2 col3
They have the same column names, I just want to put the data from the first table in the second one. I don't care about duplicates for the moment, there is no primary key.
Thanks

Is it possible to populate a word document with the click of a button with records from an access form? If so could you give me some type of example?
View 5 Replies View RelatedOnce again, I'm working with a file that I got from somewhere else that isn't in *quite* the right format.
What I have is a table listing all of the titles and their holdings we have in various journal databases. The table looks something like this:
|____TITLE____|___COVERAGE______|____DATABASE___|
|_ABC Journal_|_1998 until 2000_|_EBSCOhost DB__|
|_ABC Journal_|_1953 until 1986_|_Proquest DB___|
|_ABC Journal_|_1980 until 2006_|_Free Journals_|
|_XYZ Journal_|_1899 until 1956_|_CINAHL DB_____|
|_XYZ Journal_|_2000 until 2006_|_EBSCOhost DB__|
|_XYZ Journal_|_1955 until 1999_|_Proquest DB___|
The titles, as you can see, are listed more than once, with one record for each holdings record from each database where that title is found. For my purposes, I need the holdings to show up all together. I can do this in a report, by sorting by the title, but I really need to have it all together in its own cell--one line per title. The above table should look more like this:
|____TITLE____|_______________________COVERAGE____ _________________|
|_ABC Journal_|_1998 until 2000_,_1953 until 1986_,_1980 until 2006_|
|_XYZ Journal_|_1899 until 1956_,_2000 until 2006_,_1955 until 1999_|
I don't really care what happens to the database field, but if it helps, the title and the database fields together would be a unique combination in the table.
Currently, I am working on an exported version of this table in excel, merging the cells 2 by 2 with a function command like this: =A2&" "&B2. Since there are 32366 records, I hope there is a quicker way. At this rate, I'm not sure if I'll be done for 100 years.
Ok, this is only a very general question, but I'm hoping somebody here can give me some general advice.
Basically, I have three separate database which I've written for my company. They were all written at different times, hence the fact there are three and not one that does three things. The first is used to raise, edit, delete, and track RMA records for returned merchandise. The second is used to raise, edit, and track Training data for people who have undergone my training course. The third is my main database that contains all of my clients' details, plus a log of all calls taken from them. This is the largest and most complex of the databases and has some fairly advanced relationships setup to enabled hundreds of call logs to be linked to a single record of necessary.
Now all three databases have been written using the same kind of structure. They all use popup modal forms to prevent malicious/accidental damage to the database by the staff who use them. They are all locked down and Access cannot be broken into whilst they are running. they all also have their own primary keys.
All these databases work just fine, but I'm now a little tired of each staff member having three shortcuts on their desktops, depending on which database they need to use. what I'd really like to do is somehow merge all three of these databases into one single database, and alter the switchboard accordingly to allow users to access any of the three parts of it.
The problems - as I see them - are: (a) that my main database uses a lot of relationship links to maintain certain records, whilst the other two use none, and, (b) that each database, having been written separately, has records with their own ID keys and autonumbers.
I did toy with the idea of having some kind of function on my main switchboard that would allow me to close the current database being used and open another, all without closing Access, but I haven't been too successful in my tests...
...so, my question is, does anybody have any bright ideas as to how I can go about merging these three, or, at very least, centralising access to all three?
Hi everyone,
I have a field in a table holding numbers with no more than 2 decimal places eg. 96.87
Field Size = 'Double'
Decimal Places = 'Auto'
The data appears fine in Access and when exported to Excel.
However, when I merge the data into a Word document the numbers have loads of decimal places, so 96.87 becomes 96.87777777777777777777
What can I do!!??
Thanks
Hi all,
I have been trying to move some of my employer's database information from Excel to Access. The fields are simple stuff, first name, last name, address, etc. My only problem is the Amount Owed section in which I would have to put amounts such as 1270.70. In Access, I formatted the field as currency with 2 decimal places. Thus, it shows up as $1270.70 in the Access database.
However, when I mail merge the field to the letter, I only see 1270.7. I could not seem to make that last 0 appear. How could I make the 0 appear?
Further, as I have said, I have been moving records from Excel to Access. For mail merge purposes, would you recommend Excel or Access?
Thanks!
I have two seperate files with the same type of data. Each file is sorted into multiple batches. The first file is a current data base still being used that was created in an older version of access. The new database has some records, but is in a newer version of access. I need to know how to copy the records from the currently used but older version of access into the new database. I need for the records to be active to run reports. Sorry if its a basic question.
New job.
Hello,
I want to add a command button to my form that enables me to sort all records on the form into a Word document using mailmerge or automation as a "Purchase Order". This Word document will be saved with the name of the Order, then i will try to add another fonction to send this "purchase order" as an attachement with outlook.
The main problem is that I couldn't merge records on the continuous subform including details about the Order: items, quantity,price....
Please note that I'm a beginner on Access and this is my first project.
Thanks again, any help is highly appreciated,
Best Regards.

I am using Acess 2000 and I am not that good at it
Is there any way to merge two of the sample databases which comes with
Access together - I would like to have the Inventory Control and the Order
Entry databases as one database - can this be done? There is no data in the databases yet
Hope someone can help and thanks for looking
So i'm not sure where this post belongs as it may encompass several items.
I have an excel sheet where every row has an email address and a product purchased. I've imported it all into access but would like to run a query to find out how many people that bought x purchased y. Or tell me how many people that x did not buy a,b, or c.
Part of the problem is that each record is one product. My data looks like this:
email: Product:
e1 p2
e1 p7
e1 p33
e2 p2
e2 p9
e3 p1
e4 p1
e4 p3
I was able to group some of the data by email address in access but can't figure out a good way to query it. I'm thinking I probably need to merge the data where each unique email address is a record and the products have all the products purchased instead of just one but I really have no clue how to do that.
Is this easily do-able? how would I go about this?
Thanks alot!
