Primary Key Violation In Update Query
Apr 21, 2006Hey, I am getting a primary key violation when I try to run an update query.
My primary key is a combination of two fields, ScheduleID and SchedulePage. That way for each schedule I can only have one Page 1, one Page 2, etc.
When I want to insert a page (say a new Page 2), I need to update the table so that Page 2 becomes Page 3, Page 3 becomes Page 4, and so on.
The problem is, since it starts at the bottom, when I tell it to increase the page number by one, it's conflicting with the primary key of the next record.
Any ideas? BTW, if the solution has to do with sorting, I need to make sure it's something that always defaults back to the correct sort, since users may be able to change the sort and accidentally save it. Plus, I'll need to do the same thing in reverse (delete a page).
DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE Pages " & _
"SET Pages.SchedulePage = [SchedulePage]+1 " & _
"WHERE (((Pages.ScheduleID)= " & varScheduleID & ") AND ((Pages.SchedulePage)>" & varSchedulePage & "));"
Linked Table Creaes Key Violation Error
May 23, 2005Hi, I have a form that consists several buttons. One is to delete a table A, then add records to several tables and eventually it will do a join and insert records to table A, and display a report. It always works while all tables reside in the same Access database. Now we are trying to migrate to SQL server but not ready to get rid of Access yet. So we exported all tables to SQL server and created linked tables. We can open tables directly from Access without any problem. It shows the contents as the SQL database But when we tried to open the form and run the same button as before, we got an error:
Microsoft Access can't delete 0 record(s) in the delete query due to key violations and n record(s) due to lock violations.
We have no idea why this happens. Most of the time, it worked the first time when we clicked on the button. But we got the message when we clicked on the same button the second time. If we clicked "Yes" then it will append new records. There will be duplicate records since it doesn't delete the existing ones.
Did any of you encounter a similar problem before? Thanks in advance!

Lotus Notes Document Import And Primary Keys.
Mar 26, 2008Hello everyone,
I am having some issues getting past primary keys. A little background on what I am doing:
I am a Lotus Notes Programmer by design. We have decided to move away from Lotus and Access seems to be the choice to replace some of our applications. I have created a DB in access 2003. I have my tables created. I have my forms created. I was able to export from notes about 70,000 documents. In notes I had one main form and from that one could create any number of children documents(the parent doc generates the key and its passed to all the children documents...so some records in a ccess in the same table will have the same key. I set to DUP's OK for those tables). The documents are link by their unique document ID's. Well I needed to maintain that relationship when importing the documents to access. Which is working without a hitch. BUT where I am stuck is on new records. I need the same field that is linking all of the imported documents to autogenerate a primary key for new records..and I need that key to be passed to all the other tables in which I am storing all of the other children documents(records). Not sure how to get this done...
I hope I explained enough if not please me know what other information you need to try and help me out.
Thanks,
Tom
Tables :: After Data Import Primary Key Value Increased Significantly
Feb 2, 2014I have imported a list from Excel into my database. The primary key is long integer (Indexed no duplicates). After the (successful) import, the next primary key assigned to a new record has jumped from (for example) 15 to 30024455. Why would this be? I have compacted and repaired the database (Access 2007) in case it was some kind of corruption but with no effect. Any primary keys on tables where I have not imported data works as expected i.e. incremented by one.

Key Violation Error
Mar 17, 2008Hello I am new to this forum. I am trying to use the append query on two tables that are identical in data type, from TblA to TblB, but cannot append due to key violations for each row.
Both TblA and TablB have an autonumber primary key, although TblA does not need to have a primary key. Any suggestions as to what I should be looking for first?
Thanks
Append Query Key Violation
Oct 2, 2007Hi,
I am new user of access and have encounted a key violation from an append query. I'm trying to update a master mail-out list and am having a key violation that doesn't add some of my records.
Here is the SQL vew:
Also, I've checked the properties for both tables and they match, also I have "Allow zero length" set to yes.
I'd appreciate any help, thank you in advance.
Trying To Append Rows With VBA - Get Key Violation
Mar 9, 2008Hey all. I'm trying to append rows to my database with some VBA code.
The code looks like this:
vInsertLoanSQL = "INSERT INTO Loan(BookID, MemberID, StaffID, BorrowingDate, ReturnDate) VALUES (" & vBook & "," & vMember & "," & vStaff & ", #" & Format(Date, "dd/mm/yyyy") & "# , #" & Format(vDueDate, "dd/mm/yyyy") & "#)"
DoCmd.RunSQL(vInsertLoanSQL)
The variables are all filled out.
The table that it's being inserted into, Loan, has an Autonumber primary key (not included in the INSERT script) and a number of other fields that have no zero-length restrictions, no "Required" fields set to Yes and no Indexes. The table in question is also completely empty, there are no rows (they have all been deleted) - so I have no idea why I'm getting that "Microsoft can't append all the rows in the append query" error. It says its a key violation but I really can't see how its possible.
Anyone out there know whats going on?
Yet Another Append Key Violation Error....
Mar 30, 2008Wow, this thing is annoying me. I give up! I've attached the database for anyone here to have a look at. I promise there's no nasty code on it, although you should be able to see my code and hopefully pick the problem if you disable macros anyway.
I use VBA to prompt users to enter their staff number, the member's number and the book ID. The same VBA checks to make sure that it's a valid number that they're entering, that's it's actually present in the table it's being referenced from. (Command0 button. Command1 is to return an item)
It then takes these values, the current date and another date variable and inserts into the LOAN table. The loan table has enforced referential relationships with the book, member and staff tables.
The insert code is:
vInsertLoanSQL = "INSERT INTO Loan(BookID, MemberID, StaffID, BorrowingDate, ReturnDate) VALUES (" & vBook & ", " & vMember & ", " & vStaff & ", #" & Format(Date, "Short Date") & "#, #" & Format(vDueDate, "dd/mm/yyyy") & "#)"
All the fields in Loan (except for the autonumber PK) are not required, and have no validation formulas, zero-length is permitted where applicable.
I KNOW that the numbers being inserted are in the related tables! They're the same data type - long integers, and the related tables' primary keys are not autonumbers.
So why am I still getting a key constraint violation??
Can someone please help me??
Correction: I'm trying to attach the database, but it's too big, even zipped. Why isn't RAR accepted? Anyway, the file is hosted here: http://jellopy.com/files/newdb.zip
Tables :: Multiple Parents Table Linked To Child Table - Primary Keys
May 28, 2015I have a table for a multiple parents linked to a child table. I need to figure out a way to only allow 1 parent to be coded as primary, 1 as secondary, and then the rest as other... I thought about making Primary/Secondary/Other a primary key. But then I can only have 1 other. I would have to make a finite number of parents that could be entered and I want an infinite number.... My end goal is to have a report that only has a primary and second parent on it, but the rest of the parents still exist in the table...
*Child_ID
Parent_First_Name
*Primary/Secondary/Other
Find Duplicate PrimaryKey Violation...
Oct 24, 2006Okay,
I have 33,099 records in a query, that i'm importing into a table. (don't bother witht he semantics, it's from a linked dbf file)
The table does not have a primary key. Given Three Fields (out of 74):
Item_ID
Title
AltTitle
With the table populated with all the records, I highlighted those three fields in Design View of the table, and told told access to make all three of them the Primary key. Upon attempting to save the table, I got an error message saying that data in the table violated the primary key unique fields rule or what not.
So I wanted to make a query to determine where the error occurred. I could not off the top of my head figure out how to select only the duplicated records in a table, so instead, i figured if they violated the Primary Key unique field rule, there should be duplicate entries. so I did this:
select distinctrow item_id, title, alttitle from tbl_Table;
I got 33, 099 records returned on the DISTINCTROW. Strange as that was, I deleted all the records from the table, set the primary key as I wanted it, and then repopulated the table via my sql insert into commands. This time the table reports only 33,093 records, meaning 6 records somehow violate the primary key unique index, but don't violate a DISTINCTROW call. How can i find them to determine how they are violating the primary key unique index?
thanks

Modules & VBA :: Index Or Duplicate Key Violation
Apr 1, 2015I am trying to add a "T" in front of an article number and write this new number to a table.Access cannot find the new Article strArt because it does not exist. When I put a msgbox after "if .nomatch then" it correctly shows the message. Yet it refuses to create the new record because of a key/index violation. Apart from an index on the recordkey, it has an index on Artno, both indexes do not (obviously) want duplicate values.
Here is the code:
Private Sub btnCopyT_Click()
Dim db As Database
Dim rstArt As Recordset
Dim strArt As String
Set db = CurrentDb
strArt = "T" & Me.frmNomenclatuurSubfrm.Form.Artno

General :: Key Value Violation With Macro Append From Spreadsheet
Mar 10, 2015I am having problems with an append from a spreadsheet into a pre-populated table. I am using a macro to do this.
The table is in the middle of a hierarchy of tables. For example:
table 1 - Audit - key: AuditNumber & AuditName
table 2 - Process - key: AuditNumber & AuditName & ProcessRef
table 3 - Risk - key: AuditNumber & AuditName & ProcessRef & RiskRef
table 4 - Controls - key: AuditNumber & AuditName & ProcessRef & RiskRef & ControlRef
table 5 - Control tests - key: AuditNumber & AuditName & ProcessRef & RiskRef & ControlRef & TestRef
The front end of the database has a form for each table. Once you create an Audit in table 1 you can create multiple Processes underneath this one audit. Underneath a process you can create multiple Risks...... hence a hierarchy.
I am trying to append data to table 4 - controls. I have copied the format exactly into excel. I have also prepopulated the Audit, Process and Risk data in the required tables.
The reason I want this functionality is to enable team members to populate control information (oftentimes up to 25) in excel and then upload them easily into the database.
The macro I have created will work when created a new table. but when I point it at the existing table 4 - Controls I get the Key value violation error.
Append Query Key Violation (as Used In Create Similar Record)
Oct 18, 2007I have a database of Assessments, each record having multiple subforms.
I am working on a button, which creates a "similar" (same) assessment, copying over all the subform records/selections.
So, after I actually insert a new assessment, pasting all the values from the original Assessment:
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSelectRecord
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdCopy
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdPasteAppend
I need to copy over subform contents, for which I use an Append Query (actually, I use its SQL in VBA code to pass it the right parameters).
Now, naturally, I ran into Key Violations, because taking 50 sub-records from the original they would have their own AutoNumber Keys (ID's) and I can't append them into the same table.
My question: how do I copy over the same records (appending FROM and TO the same table) but cause the table to insert AutoNumbers for the records being appended?
Thanks!
Queries :: Append Query / Adds Records - Despite Key Violation?
Dec 3, 2013- I have a module which runs queries on linked sales spreadsheets, to merge them in to one Access table.
- To prevent duplication of sales, the primary key merges the sales record and item number fields.
Today, it's found 103 key duplication errors, which is fine. But it's still adding data to the table. The data seems to be fields which aren't even mentioned in the query. It only does this when the query is ran from VBA.
Code:
MergeEbay = "INSERT INTO tblSales ( SalesRecord, SKU, PostCode, Shipping, Quantity, SalePrice, SalesRecordSKU, DateAdded )" & _
"SELECT exEbaySales.[Sales record number], IIf(exEbaySales.[Custom label] Is Null,'0',exEbaySales.[Custom label]), exEbaySales.[Buyer postcode], " & _

Queries :: Insert Into Query Will Only Work On Some Records - Key Violation Error
Oct 23, 2014I am building an access database for my college project and I essentially have a quotation form that when I click a button 'Convert to Invoice' it creates a new record in the invoice table and then creates new records in the invoice details table which match the quotation details table. This is working as it should but for only the first 2 customers in my customer table?
On the quote form I have a combo box which is linked to the customer table and updates the quote table based on the selection. If I select customer 1 or 2 and click 'convert to invoice' it works and opens an invoice form based on the inserted data however if I select any other customer it returns an error that the record wasn't added to the table due to key violations?
As far as I can tell I am not trying to update the primary keys in the Invoice Table or the Invoice Details Tables.
Queries :: Append - No Records Are Being Imported / Validation Rules Violation
Jan 15, 2014No records are being imported. I am getting a validation rule violation but I don't have any rules. The forename and surname are straightforward text boxes and the ID is an autonumber.
Code:
INSERT INTO table_candidate ( Cand_ID, Cand_forename, Cand_surname )
SELECT candidates.Cand_ID, candidates.Cand_forename, candidates.Cand_surname
FROM candidates;
1. Is your append query trying to assign values to the primary key field? Could that be the source of the duplicate?
Yes but there are no duplicates
2. Do you have any other fields that are "Indexed: No Duplicates"? Any compound indexes?
No
3. Is the query assigning values to a field that is a foreign key to another table? Is it possible that these values do not match the values in that other table?
No. All child tables are empty.
4. Is there a validation rule on the table itself?
What this means.
5. Does the query attempt to assign a string with no characters in it (as opposed to a Null value) to a text field that has its Allow Zero Length property set to No?
Both fields are text and all records contain information
Required = No
Zero length = Yes
6. Is there a Default Value in one of the fields that is NOT being assigned by the query? For example, a foreign key with zero as the Default Value?
No
7. Is there data that is outside the range a field can accept, e.g. an integer larger than 32767, or a Null to a Yes/No field?
The length of the text in each record is not greater than the set limit
8. Is one of the query fields arriving in a format that Access is not understanding, e.g. for a date, or for a currency?
No
Primary Key And Table Name

Table Primary Key
Sep 22, 2006I have searched Key in the forrum and did not find quite my situation:
I would like to have a table that has a Primary Key that is a combo of 2 fields,
Example: Don't Allow a record to be created for the Same [Name] & [Date]
In the above the primary key would be the [Name] + [Date] but primary key only allows one field for key.
Should A Table Must Have A Primary Key ?
Feb 19, 2007I'm still new in ADP development and need some advices and helps from you who has already expert on it. Fyi, I used Ms. Access 2007 and SQL Express 2005. I found a problem when working with my project. Here is the problems :
I'm using form wizard to create master/detail form but why I can't insert record in the detail section (the navigation button also became disable) ? The detail table doesn't have primary key only have foreign key that related to the master table. Should a table must have a primary key if we use ADP ? As attached is my relationship diagram.
Many thanks in advance

Changing The Primary Key Of A Table
Aug 4, 2005HI
I did some BAD planning before I started creating my database and I set a text field ("field1") of a table ("table1") as primary key, then I linked this field to a field in another table ("table2", one-to-many relationship). Now I wan't to change some values in table1 in "field1" defined as primary, but I can't (Access refuses to do so...).
Because I have a lot of data entered allready I would like to know if there is any way for me to change values in "table1"/"field1" and that all the linked fields in other tables ("table2") would change correspondingly??????
I hope my question is clear enough to understand.
thanx in advance
