Importing And Updating A Field With An Update Query
Aug 24, 2006
Hi
I have imported 8000 records into a table called competency.
the table does not have the emp id, but needs it. I have a table called employee information which has the emp id as the primary key. I want to create a simple update query to copy the emp id (autonumbered primary key) field from the Employees table to the (now blank) emp id field in the competency table.
I created a query in design view, added the two tables
included the fields from Competency, Emp ID, Last Name, First Name and in the update field for Emp id I added this
"copy[tbEmployeeInformation].[empid]" In the criteria field of last name I typed a name and ran the query, it gave me the correct amount of records to update, but when I ran it, it gives the type conversion failure error. I checked the fields and they are the same in both tables (type, length, indexing)
What am I doing wrong?

I have a main form and a subform.
Both forms have the field called JobID in common.
Both forms have a field called JobStatus.
Any easiest solution so that After I Update the field called JobStatus in the subform, it changes the field called JobStatus in the main form to the value which was selected from the subform?.

When I try to run a simple update query written in VBA I get no errors but the field that I am trying to update just gets a 0 instead of the appropriate ID that I am passing.
Code:
Function ExtractProjects()
On Error GoTo ErrHandler:
Dim db As Database, rs As DAO.Recordset, rs2 As DAO.Recordset, var() As Variant, i As Long, qdf As DAO.QueryDef, ii As Long
Set db = CurrentDb
[code]....
The funny thing is if I run the query itself it works by using a parameter query but when I try and run it like this all I get is 0's in the field that it's supposed to be updating.The field [(SDSK) Charges Master].PID properties are as followed and is a linked table:
Type: Integer
Indexed: Yes (Duplicates Allowed)
A debug.print of the results of the query trying to be ran is the follows:
Code:
UPDATE [(SDSK) Charges Master] SET [(SDSK) Charges Master].PID = 1 WHERE ((([(SDSK) Charges Master].[IBB Date]) Between #10/24/2014# And #11/19/2014#) AND (([(SDSK) Charges Master].[Charge Num]) Like '*BAA*' And ([(SDSK) Charges Master].[Charge Num]) Is Not Null));
As you can see it is providing a number to be set to but instead it just fills it in with a 0.

I have a form which will be used as the basis to print a label.
It is bound to a query and when I open the form I pass over a 'where' condition to return 1 record. I then use the query to produce a report/label.
What I want to do is to update the form/query without updating the underlying tables to the query.

I created an update query that says it has successfully updated 600 records, but when you go into the table, it has not been updated. I am working with an .mde. Does that make a difference?
I first created a select query to find everyone in TX. Then I changed it to an update query to change all TX to CA. Since it did not update the table, I tried running the update query again and this time it says there are not records to update (since it uppposedly updated my 600 records).
Your help is appreciated.

I have one table, I want to update multiple fields in that Table with values.Currently I have on update query for each update.So for exampleRows: Commercial Quotes, Cover Notes, Personal QuotesWill have the values: Yes, No, Yes in them.I need to update those fields, if they say Yes to Commercial Quotes, Cover Notes or Personal Quotes depending on the field obviously. And blank them out if it says No.Currently I have 30+ different queries I have to click individually one after the other to update each row. I was wondering if theres a quicker way of doing this all in one hit.I have a tiny bit of SQL knowledge.So one of the queries I've figured out I've converted to SQL but again it only updates one instance...UPDATE Enabler_Data SET Enabler_Data.[Commercial Quotes] = "Commercial Quotes" WHERE (((Enabler_Data.[Commercial Quotes]) = "YES"));I tried whacking an OR replacing the ; and repeating that statment replacing Commercial Quotes with Cover Notes but it errored out on me.This is where I get completely stuck and my meagre knowledge fails me so any help would be useful.Thanks in advanceMatt

Hi,
I am trying to implement an update query per the instructions at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;127977 to append records from table2 to table1.
I would like to add a criteria here saying update (and append) only records that match the criteria table2.dateofreview <= #12/17/2006#
This does not seem to work. The same query works without this criteria.
To test this, I created just one record in table2 (table1 is blank at this time) and manually entered the dateofreview as 12/17/2006 and tried to execute the query. It is not able to show any records.
Won't this query work *with* a Criteria?

I'm running an update query that's based on a select query (that runs some calculations). The update query is updating ALL the rows that should be updated with the information in the select query with data from the final row in the select query, and not on a per ID basis as I think I have it set-up to do. The data looks correct in the update query, but again it's not coming out right.
Here's the SQL for what I've written so far:
UPDATE [Customer_Data Query], Customer_Data INNER JOIN Baseline ON Customer_Data.ID = Baseline.ID SET Baseline.[Unit Hours] = [Customer_Data]![Dur_Days]*[Customer_Data]![Dur_Hours]*[Customer_Data]![Number_Units], Baseline.Availability = [Customer_Data]![Perceived_Avail], Baseline.[Hours Available] = [Customer_Data]![Dur_Days]*[Customer_Data]![Dur_Hours]*[Customer_Data]![Number_Units]*[Customer_Data]![Perceived_Avail],
[Code] ....
I've also tried to force the update to the proper row by adding a criteria based on ID.
Select query, here it is:
SELECT Customer_Data.ID, Customer_Data.Data_Set_Version, Customer_Data.Number_Units, Customer_Data.Perceived_Avail, Customer_Data.MTTR_MTBF, Customer_Data.MT_TR_OR_BF_Hours, Customer_Data.Utilization, Customer_Data.Percent_Scheduled, Customer_Data.Sched_Percent_of_PM, Customer_Data.Sched_PM_Duration, Customer_Data.Sched_CBM_Duration, Customer_Data.Sched_CBM_From_PM, Customer_Data.React_Detect, Customer_Data.React_Rework, Customer_Data.React_False_Alarms,
[Code] ....

Hello all, I have a question;
I have 2 databases with 4 tables in it following the same structure.
Table 1: tblPersons consisting employeenumber as pk
Table 2: tblLocation consisting the location as pk
Table 3: tblCompanyvehicle consisting the licenseplate as pk
Table 4: tblAssets consisting serialnumber as pk
All tables have relationships build on the employeenumber which is a pulldown in the three last tables.
I have a thirdth empty exact same database and want to import the tables from the 2 other databases by clicking a button, browse to the database and click import.
The import should IGNORE duplicates without a message (if New York already excists there is no reason to insert it again, the same goes for employeenumbers, since they are unique, etc, etc).
Is there any way to do this?
Thanks in advance
(I did a search on this, but nothing came up that described the problem)

Hi,
How can I get a field to update automatically after data has been imported into the record.
Manually it works using the DLOOKUP in the "After Update" properties but this does not work when importing data.
TIA

I have a field in table A (used as my main form) that I would like to update with a unique yet understandable name. I have created a query that takes the first few characters of two other fields and the event date and concatenates them to a unique name.
Challenge is the three fields that create the unique name are in table B.
So I tried the following in query design just to see if I could update a field in the same table
Code:
Expr1: IIf(([EVENT_TBL].[EVENT]="Jacksonville" And [EVENT_TBL].[EVENT_DATE]="4/17/2011" And [EVENT_TBL].[EVENT_TYPE]="PRE-DEPLOYMENT"),([EVENT_TBL].[EVENT_TYPDTE_ID]="PREJACK170411"))
The results were #Error# in the cells.

I have a table holding clients data, I need it to work out the age of someone when an application is made, which I would like to be stored on said table. I have two fields [DOB] and [signed date], which I have used created a query with and an (unbooud?) field called age at application with the expression =DateDiff("yyyy",[DOB],[Date signed])
This works fine when I run the query, but I am unsure of the new next step of how to commit it to the table and even if that's possible.Ideally I would like this to run behind a form maybe using some click event after the [signed date] field has been entered.

I'm using an UPDATE query to update records in one table (tblMain) from another table (tblTemp)
Here is my SQL :
Quote:
UPDATE [tblMain]
INNER JOIN [tblTemp] ON [tblMain].[MainField1] = [tblTemp].[TempField1]
SET [tblMain].[MainField2] = [tblTemp].[TempField2];
I only want to update the records in tblMain which have a corresponding record in tblTemp (linked by MainField1 / TempField1)
If any record doesn't appear in tblTemp, I want tblMain to retain the existing value for that record.
However, it appears that in such situations, the record in tblMain has it's MainField2 value set to null / ZLS.
I've tried using LEFT JOIN and RIGHT JOIN and also tried WHERE clauses but the result is the same every time.

I have 3 peices of data that I am working with: Group number, plans and benefit elections. On my form I have fields for the group number and plan and 2 queries. When I enter a group number the first query displays a list of plan descriptions for that group. From there I can enter the plan description into the form's plan field and that runs the second query to give me a list of valid elections for that plan. This all works fine but I want to make the plan selection a little less tedious. What I would like is to be able to double click the query field housing the plan description and have it copied to the form's plan field. I could use the ID instead of the plan description but I work in a production environment and very key stroke counts so I would really like to have a simple double click process.
Is this even possible? If so how would I set that up? I tried using the double click on event macro builder but it does not seem to have this kind of option.
My form contains fields for group number and Plan. The same form houses 2 querys, one that pulls plans based on the group number and the other to pull elections based on the plan field (not the plan query). Would like to double click a plan within the plan query and have that description populated into the form's plan field.

I have a form in which old customers can be edited and new customers can be added.
Currently, to edit a customer, the user clicks in the "Last Name" field and then selects EDIT-FIND and types in the last name. The user will then cycle through all customers with that name to select the correct one.
How do I allow a user to begin typing in the last name field and have the name appear? Is there an easier way to do this?
Many thanks.

Appreciate some help on a update query if possible. In this query I wish to total two sets of figures in about five seperate queries and then export them to another DB. the Dsum function is fine and will produce a result but that result needs to pick up the record ID (called PlanID) which is the primary key for the records being updated. I have struggled with this a bit as no matter what I did the PlanID field would not even display in the query results.
The section of code that is highlighted will now display an empty field and as such the rest of the query is blank. If I manually insert the PlanID figure into the record that the query is updating the other figures will appear.
How can I change this query to add the Planid to the update after it gets it from the customers form?
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE Customers INNER JOIN ExportBudgetTotalsTbl ON Customers.PlanID = ExportBudgetTotalsTbl.planid SET
ExportBudgetTotalsTbl.FoodHouseholdEx = DSum("[totalscash]","[budgetbase1qry]")+DSum("[totalcredit]","[budgetbase1qry]"),
ExportBudgetTotalsTbl.Lifestyle = DSum("[totalscash]","[budgetbase2qry]")+DSum("[totalcredit]","[budgetbase2qry]"),
ExportBudgetTotalsTbl.SavEmerg = DSum("[totalscash]","[budgetbase3qry]")+DSum("[totalcredit]","[budgetbase3qry]"),
ExportBudgetTotalsTbl.BillsFuel = DSum("[totalscash]","[budgetbase4qry]")+DSum("[totalcredit]","[budgetbase4qry]")+DSum
("[totalscash]","[budgetbase5qry]")+DSum("[totalcredit]","[budgetbase5qry]"), ExportBudgetTotalsTbl.Fixedpayments = DSum
("[totalscash]","[budgetbase6qry]")+DSum("[totalcredit]","[budgetbase6qry]"),
ExportBudgetTotalsTbl.planid =
[customers].[planid]
WHERE (((ExportBudgetTotalsTbl.planid)=[forms]![customers].[planid]));

CurrentDb.Execute "UPDATE tblProducts
SET tblProducts.versionNumber = "Need to increment by one, don't know how to"
FROM tblProducts;"
Please advice me how to implenent the Update query.
Thanks,

I have an Access table that is linked with an ODBC connection to an MSSQL table. I need to replace a particular value in one field with another value. Since it was taking so long by doing a Find & Replace, due to the large number of records in the table, I CTRL-BREAKed (broke?) it. I then filtered the data down to the value that I want to replace and tried another Find & Replace. Now I only get this message:
'The data has been changed. Another user edited this record and saved the changes before you attempted to save your changes. Re-edit the record.'
How do I get the changes in there?
I even went into MSSQL and did a query and the table is still showing the old value. However, when I search the SQL results for that old value it said the value was not found, even though I was looking at it right in front of me.

Hi all,
I have two tables and one of them (table1) has two fields called
pct_id and pct_name.
table2 has the field pct_id.
I also created a new field in table2 called pct_name.
What i'd like to do is set table2.pct_name=table1.pct_name wherever
table1.pct_id=table2.pct_id automatically.
Is there a query that can check to see if its the same and update table2?
Heres what i tried but it didnt work
UPDATE table1
SET table1.pct_name=table2.pct_name
WHERE ((table1.pct_id)=(table2.pct_id));
Thanks in advance

Hello,
Was wondering if there is a way without building individual update queries, to update info in one field that has multiple criteria ?
Basically I need to change/update daily multiple ID numbers to new ID numbers, long story on why this needs to be done but for now I need to do it this way.
Example: 12345 update to ABCDE, 6789 update to FGHI, etc. These ID's are all within the same field in the table.
It works fine running each ID one at a time but was wondering if it is possible to do all these updates within one query or code ?
Thanks for any assistance
