Hi all, total newb here with a question i can't find answered anywhere. (you are my only hope) This database contains over 70k records and is a collection of user registrations over the years. Heres the issue.
After running the find duplicates query and get my list (over 8000 dupes) i get a sample like below. I cannot now run the append query as every other site or article says to. I can't set the primary key to surname because there are so many records that have the same last name but diff. first name. I need it to remove the dupes based on the EditDate, keeping the newest record.
List before dedupe:eek:
IDTag..................Surname......First......... ......EditDate
37659362.............Adams.........Mary........... ...2005.10.21
57506..................Adams.........Mary......... .....2005.04.25
37661858.............Adams.........Nichole........ ...2005.06.23
37661857.............Adams.........Nichole........ ...2005.06.23
37661795.............Adams.........Nichole........ ...2005.06.17

37657399.............Adams.........Rudo........... ...2006.02.15
54640..................Adams.........Rudo......... .....2005.02.08
List after dedupe:D

I have created a very simple Access database with a CompaniesTbl, ContactsTbl and CallsTbl. The database is used to record telesales contact with customers. The tables are set up like this:
The CompaniesTbl has an AutoNumber Primary Key field called CompanyID.
The ContactsTbl has an AutoNumber Primary Key field called ContactID and a foreign key called CompanyID.
The CallsTbl has an AutoNumber Primary Key field called CallID and foreign key called ContactID.
The relationships are set up in the relationships window and referential integrity imposed.
Twice now, while editing a contact record, an error has occured. Task Manager has had to be used to get out of it. The error is either a 'run-time error with a message that does not mean anything' or it says 'unrecognized database format' (!?).
If you open the database again the ContactID field in the Contacts Table is no longer a Primary Key field. If you look in the relationships window - the relationship between the Companies and Contacts tables no longer exists.
Any ideas much appreciated.

Hi
Need a little help with the following, running windows ME on a Compaq Presario Desktop, connected to Blueyonder Broadband, Blueyonder have provided a new anti virus and firewall package free of charge to broadband users, you need to remove your existing Virus and firewall package(McAfee) to load the new, which I have done, it appears that I still have remnants of a previous Norton Firewall, the only reference to it is when you access through the control panel and the add/remove programme, I have tried many times to remove it but the text is still there.
I have searched for it but nothing comes up as found.
Many thanks
Derek

The value in identification_id is 3434-34-213 and registration_no are 234/45. Can i query the field name so i can get both value without the sign - and / so the output will be 343434213 for identification_id and 23445 for registration_no?

Hello, Tried a search but could'nt come up with an answer.
I have a number field with an amount.
The format will always change as far as the LEN is concerned.
I need to remove the decimal.
There will always be 2 numbers to the right of the decimal but the left will always change.
Example:
21543.11 Need 2154311
11.20 Need 1120
Thanks in advance! :)
I have a big table with belgian tax numbers all in this format:
BE 401.031.867
I would like to remove the "BE" and the "." which are in this field so i have only the numbers.
Cant figure it out myself, any help would be greatly apprieciated
I have a query linked to a main frame database. One of the fields is [significance] and gets a number 1-20. Usually when this data is entered, it gets multiple significance numbers. This causes my query to return separate records for each significance number. For example if case number 123 is given significance codes 1, 5 and 12, then my query returns 3 records.
I need a query that will show all records one time that have a significance code other than 12. This would be easy if there were not duplicate entries for the same case number because I could simply say "Not 12". So in the example above, my query returns 2 records showing significance codes 1 and 5. But I don't want to see the record for case number 123 because it also has a 12 significance code.
So what is the best way to handle this?
I appreciate the help.

If have a table with billing occurances and one of the fields is "business name" how would I need to setup a make table query which lists unique occurances within that data?
Essentially, I want to remove duplicates. If ABC Pet Store has 5 billing occurances and XYZ Pet Store has 1... I want both to only be listed once.
I hope that makes sense. Thanks for any help as to how to set this up!

FROM InvoiceDetails INNER JOIN Invoices ON InvoiceDetails.InvoiceID = Invoices.InvoiceID

Is there a way to remove the design window from your project ?
I have made a program but, the problem I am having is that when
I run it and say the query results show up I close that window and
then the design window shows up. I need the close button on the
other windows but I need to block out the design window when I
use the program.
I also know about the start box where you can uncheck items and
they are removed. Am I missing something ?
thx
I was hoping someone could let me know how I can convert my MS ACCESS database file (.mdb) so that when user(s) run/open the database, they cannot see, nor have access to the tables (which are linked from a separate DB with just the tables), forms, queries, etc... (the elements). Right now, you can open the file, the switchboard runs, but you can still see and navigate to the tables/forms/queries seen in the background.
Is there a quick and simple way to turn this into an executable-type file where you cannot see the elements in the background?
Hi everyone, does anyone know how to remove the little replication icons next to the db objects when a replica is converted back to a design master. I know there is a way cos i've seen it here before but I can't find it searching. Thanks.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello,
I have a lot of values that look like this: 0.524, 0.673, and 0.398. I hate to look at these numbers with the zero before the decimal point and would like to find out how to remove them. I know that it's possible in Excel, but I'm not sure of how to do it in Access.
Is this possible?
Thanks
I am using Access 2003 - by default there is a 'Type a question for help' drop down box on the menu bar - this is a tad annoying and looks similar to the 'New Mail' icon that displays from my mail client in approximately the same part of the screen....
Any ideas on how to remove the 'Type a question for help' drop down from the Access Tool/Menu bar?
Thank you.
Hi folks,
