Is there a way to select several rows of records in a datasheet view of a table and delete all of the selected records?
Every time I try to delete more than one record at a time, I get the following message: "The Micorsoft Jet database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time."
Then it will let me delete one record out of the selection.
I am the only one in that particular table at the time I am trying to delete the record.
how do i delete multiple records in a table, for example if i have a table that as serial_num 123 twice, how do i delete the two records, basically i don't want to delete one record, i want to delete the two records. Thanks.
I have a MS Access database that tracks when packages are received, returned, etc from different agencies. I need to create a query or report that shows how many packages were received, returned, etc PER MONTH, PER AGENCY. I was able to create a query that listed all the "Date Pkg Rec'd" dates for October (Between #10/1/2004# and #10/31/2004#), but I don't want a listing of all of the dates, rather a total of the records within those timeframes PER AGENCY. For example, APHIS 10, FAS 3, etc.
The other problem I have is I need this done across many columns without excluding those records without an October date (for example) in them. For example, I could have a "Date Pkg Rec'd" date in October, but not an October date listed in the "Date Pkg Returned" column.
Basically, I need the simpliest way to generate monthly "record totals" for several fields.
I am in the process of designing a sports database and have come across a problem that I can not seem to fix.
I have 3 tables that are linked, they are Customer, Program (this is the customers exercise program) and Health (the customers health records).
I have tried to set up a query that deletes a customer if a command button is clicked. This works find as long as the table I am deleting the data from is not linked to another table.
However when I try to delete a customer record it says that I can't as the data is linked and I have to delete the relationships first.
The only way I can think of doing this is to setup a query that deletes all the data in each table at the same time. I can not get this to work though.
Is this a problem that can be solved or will I have to change the way my relationships are set up?
If I want to delete multiple records (select more than a record and right-click delete) how can I achieve this
given the following with one record:
Private Sub Form_Delete(Cancel As Integer) DoCmd.RunSQL "Delete * from Trial where TrialID =(Text40)" Me.Refresh End Sub
PS:- I am trying to solve the cannot update /delete because of "modifications due to multiple base tables "issue and I am not sure if attempting to add in the On delete event would fix it (instead of an instead of delete trigger since it would be useless to setup triggers with one table to update ). I am thinking of doing the same with update in the after update event.
I need developing a new delete query criteria to add onto existing delete duplicate queries for deleting duplicate values. I need the new delete duplicate query to take precedent over the other two so that those values retained in the first query are kept retained after going through the second and third delete queries. Attached is a document laying out the request.
I would like to create a query that will delete records that match several fields from another table. This is complicated by the fact that one of the fields will be in one of 3 columns.I have attached a test database (no real details), all Sheet2 entries need to be deleted from Sheet1.
What I need to do is delete records that have the same 'Surname' and 'DPS' value but also the same 'Line5' value from Sheet2 in 'Line3' or 'Line4' or 'Line5' in Sheet1.The 'Surname' and 'DPS' are no problem, it's the variable position of the third field. I think I could do it in three separate queries but it would definitely be better in one.
In a situation where I imported an excel file with so many columns and split them into two temp tables and they are linked using a key.
the data has a fixed part lets say
Field1....Field2.....Filed3.....Field4...then Field5.....Field6.....Field7....Field8 is the same data range as Field9...Field10...Field11...Field12. I would want to split this data into multiple rows like this
Field 1 Field2 Field3 Field4 Field5 Field6 Field7 Field8 Field 1 Field2 Field3 Field4 Field9 field10 field11 field12 and so own...
Hi. How I can delete all rows from my table whit on query? Also I want that when I delete rows from my table index and other settings will stay in table.
I have a list of projects and am creating a query that tells me their duration based on beginning and ending dates. These beginning and ending dates can be edited by the user, and frequently, there are multiple beginning dates. When I query the projects, instead of getting unique project numbers on the left hand side to create unique rows, I get many of the same projects with different start dates. I would like to use the FIRST start date only for every project and not have multiple rows with the same projects being counted multiple times.
Is there any way to delete the excess rows and keep the original row? I've read a lot about using DISTINCT and UNIQUE INDEX with SQL but it seems as though these are only available for tables and not queries. Bright ideas, anyone?
Hi I have to make a query which deletes duplicate rows from my table. How I should start to make it? Can I do it whit one query or does this operation needs more queries? I know that DISTINCT works but how I can set it to DELETE operation? I have try to use command DELETE DUPLICATES FROM Table; but this command deletes all rows from table why?
I need to know if it is possible to create a delete query which will target particular fields in a row based on certain criteria in a seperate combo box(on same table).
The few ways that I have tried to do this have been unsuccesful so if anyone can shed some light on the subject it would be greatly appreciated.
SELECT * from mastertable INNER JOIN secondarytable ON mastertable.Identicalfield = secondarytable.Identicalfield
But none of these do:
DELETE FROM mastertable INNER JOIN secondarytable ON mastertable.Identicalfield = secondarytable.Identicalfield **Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'INNER'.**
DELETE FROM mastertable JOIN secondarytable ON (mastertable.Identicalfield = secondarytable.Identicalfield) **Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'JOIN'.**
DELETE FROM mastertable WHERE (mastertable.Identicalfield = secondarytable.Identicalfield) **The column prefix 'secondarytable' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query.**
DELETE FROM mastertable WHERE IN (SELECT * FROM secondarytable) **Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'IN'.**
Can anyone help? This should be easy, shouldn't it?! Thank you.

I was given a task by my boss to create an appraisal system for our department here in one of the local schools in the Philippines.
Anyway, what I created first a form from which all subjects being offered will be displayed. I did this by having a main form (bind to personal info table) and a subform that displays all the subjects (bind to subjects table). Then, the user will simply click on the appropriate rows bearings the subejct that the students wish to enrolled and when the save button is click, such will be saved into the enrol table.
My questions is, what control will I use to allow me to select multiple rows? and how will I be able to save selected rows into the enrol table?
I have a table of products and a table of ordersEach product requires multiple processes to completeCan I make a query that will lookup the products in the orders table and show a list of all the processes that need to be done to complete all the products on order?The bit I dont get is how can a query return multiple rows for each product?
Could somebody please help me! I am new to access and trying to create a database that brings together information from a number of different sources, into one large database. I need to import a large amount of data from another access table and I would like to just cut and paste it into my table. BUT, I can’t figure out how to add multiple rows at once to my existing table. The data that I am importing contains about 6,000 rows and 4 columns. Can anybody tell me how I can do this without having to manually create 6,000 rows, one at a time? I really do not want to do that. Thank you for your help.
But I am getting an error "Missing semicolon( at the end of SQL statement" and placing a semicolon at the end isn't helping either. I can insert a single row so column type or primary key isn't a problem.
Here's the table structure,
rvp - number (pk) rvp_name - text controller_id - number
I'm new to Access but not SQL, and am having difficulty coming up with a solution to the following problem:
I have one table for all Strings used in all other tables (to make Internationalization easier). The fields are: zId, zType, and zString. zId is an AutoNumber field. zType is a number which defines what type of string it is ( Item Name, Person Name, etc. ). zString is a text field with the actual text string (can be empty).
I have another table for Items, which have (among other things) Names (field name= zName). zName is actually a lookup into the Strings table and stores just the ID.
I want to create a form for people to enter a new Item. When creating a new item using this form, they will have to give it a Name, which will need to add a new entry into the Strings table with the appropriate type (ie, Item Name).
So, my question is "How to do the following..." * on my form to enter Item Data, when a user goes to create a new Item, I must first create a new entry in the Strings table with the correct value for zType. Then, I must get the value for zId for this new entry and assign it to the zName field in the Items table for the new record that I am creating.
I am trying to find a way to combine multiple rows into one (field). I have 2 tables. One table is data the other table is notes. The notes table has a new record created for each new note. Both tables have the Account Number and and Sub Account Number. I am linking the two tables on these account numbers with a left join normally. There can be records in the data table and no records in the notes table. I guess what I want is a query or sql statement i can use in vba that will display all the data from the data table and all the notes from the notes table in on field.
This data is used in a large report. Right now I have the data table set to the report by itself and code on the report to pull the notes from the notes table using a ADO recordset with a do while that just adds each note to a single variable. This works fine and does the job. The only problem is the time it takes to run the report now. If the report has 1000 records with notes on 90% of them and each of those has multiple notes that recordset code has to run thu ALOT. I use to have all the notes just compile to one field in the data table and the report ran very fast that way. I had to change this since I need it this way as to filter notes by time and archive them after a period.
I have read thru so many posts and see lots of code functions to do this but its just the same thing I already have with the recordset code building the combined field. Any other way to do what I am trying? I think I have just been over thinking this stuff at this point an maybe a fresh set of eyes will help. Below are some simple table layouts for the 2.
**Account Number and Sub ID fields in both tables are not unquie.
Data Table: (this table has alot more data but this gives you the idea.) Account_NUM - Sub_ID - Data1 1234 | 3 | 123 N Inc. 1234 | 3 | 666 DRN 4567 | 4 | 543 S Way. 7890 | 5 | zzz ABC
Notes Table: (Yes the notes field is a MEMO field) Account_Num - Sub_ID - Notes 1234 | 3 | notes1 1234 | 3 | notes2 1234 | 3 | notes3
The output I am trying to Get: Account_Num - Sub_ID - Data1 - Notes 1234 | 3 | 123 N Inc. | notes1 notes2 notes3 1234 | 3 | 666 DRN | notes1 notes2 notes3 4567 | 4 | 543 S Way. | NULL 7890 | 5 | zzz ABC | NULL
