I'm using the following SQL to update a table, however it is throwing back an "Invalid UPDATE Syntax" error message.
DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE MSysObjects " & _
"SET Database = strInputFileName " & _
"WHERE Not IsNull(Database) ;"
Could someone possibly help me as to what is wrong with it?
Thanks
I am receiving this error;
"Invalid SQL syntax, cannot use multiple columns in a column level CHECK constraint."
Without explaining my disaster of a situation anyone have any ideas?
I get the error invalid syntax for the following line : ( summing up figures in case GetBonus = Yes)
Bonus : iif(getBonus = -1;nz(BonusL1;0)+ NZ([BonusL2];0)+ NZ([BonusL3];0)
could you help ?
New to the list, and hoping I can get some help on a few issues I'm having in Access 2003.
I have a table where two fields represent log numbers. The fields are called "LogNo" and "LogNoPct". On occasion, the person entering the data will accidentally place the same number into both fields, which is clearly a mistake. One record should never have the same log number in both fields. So, I set up a validation rule for "LogNoPct". I just want it to check the last 4 digits of the log number and not allow the entry if both have the same last 4 digits. In the validation rule for "LogNoPct" I have this:
Right([LogNo],4)<>Right([LogNoPct],4)
Everything looks good until I try to save the changes to the table's design. When I hit SAVE I get this error:
Invalid SQL Syntax - cannot use multiple columns
in a column-level CHECK constraint.
Have no idea why its giving me this error. Any help is greatly appreciated.
why this query comes back as invalid syntax?I am attempting to find all records older than two quarters, Month of Contact actually displays the date as ##/##/####
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to convert an excel formula into the expression builder on my form.
the excel formula is this:
IF(AND(E4>=2.65,F4<1.85),"Poor",IF(AND(E4<2.65,F4< 1.85),"Unacceptable",IF(AND(E4>=2.65,F4>=1.85,F4<2 .65),"Generally",IF(AND(E4<2.65,E4>=1.85,F4<2.65,F 4>=1.85),"Poor",IF(AND(E4<1.85,F4<2.65,F4>=1.85)," Unacceptable",IF(AND(E4>=3.45,F4<3.45,F4>=2.65),"H igh",IF(AND(E4>=2.65,E4<3.45,F4<3.45,F4>=2.65),

(named: Invalid Field Definition - Unable to set up cascade update but I have done what the moderator advised and have not been able to fix a very similar problem.
I have planned a database and must adhere to the plan or change it and basically I initially said that I would like to enforce referential integrity to synchronise my tables and I would also like to cascade update and delete to save input time because changes will be automated between table (where fields are connected.).
I have attached a plan I did if that makes the purpose of my database clearer.I have attached my database and have established the relationships* without referential integrity enforced I would like between my tables but don't know how to make them one-to-many relationships nor can I enable cascade update or cascade delete or enforce referential integrity.
I am new to databases (and to this forum) and have been promised by my line manager that I won't have to specialise, I don't think I have created the relationships but they are supposed to be between Vehicle ID and Hire Number, and Customer ID and Hire Number.

Hi, I was wondering why the following code would give me an invalid SQL statement message:
Dim Rs As New ADODB.Recordset
Rs.Open "Manzanero # 450", CurrentProject.Connection, adOpenKeyset, adLockBatchOptimistic
The error message is:
"Invalid SQL Statement; expected 'Delete', 'Insert', 'Procedure', 'Select', or 'Update"
I'm just trying to open up the table "Manzanero # 450" so that I might add to its contents. I have Microsoft Active X Data Objects 2.6 library included as well. I find it strange since this is basically a line for line copy of a sample I found in a MS Access book. Please help. Thanks! =)

I have 2 tables called MakeTable1 and DBO_TBL_Activity
Im trying to update MakeTable1 with the values from TBL_Activity when both activity.StartDate and maketable1.Dates match but also acticity.IDStaff and Maketable1.ID Match
Below is the SQL i have so far
Code:
UPDATE [MakeTable1].[Detailsa] SET [dbo_tbl_activity].[details]
WHERE [MakeTable1.Dates)=[dbo_tbl_activity].[StartDate] AND [MakeTable1].[id]=[dbo_tbl_activity].[idstaff]);
The error is :syntax error in update statement
I have a website which uses a series oif ASP/VBscript scripts to access and update an Access database. It has run for years on a shared commercial service.I also have a replica of the wesbite on my home pc for development and testing running under XP Pro and IIS. All works fine.
Recently I have had to switch my home setup to my laptop (also XP Pro and IIS). The scripts all appear to work ok except when I try to UPDATE certain tables.
Some give "Syntax error in UPDATE statement."
Some give "Data type mismatch in criteria expression."
Some work without error
Yet the identical script and table on the main site and my home PC work fine and have done for years.
My issue is that I am trying to update a date field. When I do the date field may have a date or may be a null. When I try to pass in a NULL date with no quotes, I get a syntax error. When I have single quotes in the statement and a null value is passed in, I get an invalid use of date.
Dim DENIEDDATE1 As Date
If (Not IsDate(rs.Fields("DENIED_DATE"))) Then
DENIEDDATE1 = Null
Else
DENIEDDATE1 = "'" & rs.Fields("DENIED_DATE") & "'"
End If
update table1 set table1.denieddate = " & denieddate1 & " 'get Update syntax error with this statement
update table1 set table1.denieddate = '" & denieddate1 & "' 'fails due to invalid use of null
what is the correct syntax to write a command line able to UPDATE more than one field in the table records having multiple WHERE criteria.
Here is my challenge:My TableI has the columns A, B, C and D which are populated, for example, as follows:
TableI
A B C D
1 2
2 6 4 3
1 7 5 9
1 2
2 5 8 5
etc.
I also have a FormII which updates TableII. Among the existing fields of TableII there are the fields C and D (same as above). When saving data entry thru the save button of the FormII, fields C and D will be naturally saved on the TableII. Well, I also want C and D info updated into Table I as well, but only when field A=1 and B=2.So what I need (for the click event of the button save in the FormII) is to open TableI and either insert or update it with the values of the fields C and D in every record WHERE A=1 AND B=2.For instance, assuming C=& and D=%, the desired result should be as follows:
TableI
A B C D
1 2 & %
2 6 4 3
1 7 5 9
1 2 & %
2 5 8 5
I did not find any examples in the net including multiple criteria..Here is what I wrote unsuccesfully:
Private Sub BtSalvarFrmII_Click()
CurrentDb.execute "UPDATE TableI"
Set FieldC = Forms!FrmII!FieldC.value AND Set FieldD = Forms!FrmII!FieldD.value WHERE FieldA = 1 AND FieldB = 2
Docmd.save
Docmd.close
End Sub
What would be the correct syntax?
I get the following error:
"There is an invalid use of the .(dot) or ! operator or invalid parentheses."
This is the code that errors out:
Code:If Not IsNull(Forms![ctrlpanel]![subEditUsers].Form!cmbSection) Thensection = Forms![ctrlpanel]![subEditUsers].Form!cmbSectionEnd If
All it's doing is checking to see if a user selected anything from the combo box. Thanks!

Hi All,
I have 2 errored records in my large access database which I am unable to delete. As I scroll over either of these records I get the error "Invalid Argument" but the database is functional otherwise... Until Today!
Other users can get into the database but I get the "Invalid Argument" error before it even loads the main form.
Can anyone help please?
Many Thanks
Swifty
Every now and again (for no apparant reason) a record in my table becomes corrupted (the fields all change to #Error, Error etc) Also, the relationship between that and another table breaks and when I try to go into the forms I get the "Invalid Argumnent" message
I am running Win XP Pro, with Office 2003 accross a network, with a FE/BE split
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Err_CmdTransferToExcel_Click:

but receive an error "Invalid Operation"
Can anyone suggest anything?

I did a quick search and really didn't find anything related to this. Though, I'm sure it's pry happened before.
I have started work on a new front end and have several linked tables to our back end. As well as copies of them for the purpose of the front end. On load the backend tables update the front ends tables, and on exit the front end tables append/update the back end tables.
I began work on a data entry form for fields residing in the front end tables and found that when I attempted to make a command button for the purpose of record navigation I received the error "Invalid Use of Null" and all of my options were empty (Concerning the control functions) and everytime I changed action categories i recieve the same error.
Also, I tried to work around it with a combo box for searching, only I don't have the option available to make it search.
So . . . I tried to circumvent with an unbound text box that performed a macro searchforrecord but I receive and error that the table I'm search within is not open.
Any clues would be great, any fix would be immaculate. I'm a bit flabbergasted.
I have a left-join query where I know that some of the values in the left-hand table have no corresponding values in the right-hand table...that's why I used a left-join: I want all the values in the left-hand table to show up. I would expect that records without corresponding values in the right-hand table would show up as nulls (I swear I have dozens of other queries that work this way) but in this one, they show up as "#error" instead.
This is a problem because I want to do some calculations on this field. Normally I would use the nz function to change the nulls to zeros.
So,
1. Any idea why this is happening?
2. Is there a way to change the #error values to zeroes, similar to using the nz function?
HEre's the SQL:
SELECT FeederInventorySummary.machine, FeederInventorySummary.Size, FeederInventorySummary.Leaf, FeederInventorySummary.Type, FeederInventorySummary.CountOfFeederID, FeederNeedsSummary_7.FeederQty
FROM FeederInventorySummary LEFT JOIN FeederNeedsSummary_7 ON (FeederInventorySummary.Type = FeederNeedsSummary_7.Type) AND (FeederInventorySummary.Leaf = FeederNeedsSummary_7.Leaf) AND (FeederInventorySummary.Size = FeederNeedsSummary_7.FeederSize) AND (FeederInventorySummary.machine = FeederNeedsSummary_7.ActualMachine);
For every record without a corresponding record in FeederInventorySummary_7, the FeederQty field shows up as #error.
Why am I getting this error message?
Invalid bracketing of name
This is what I have:
Feild Name: 2ndQty
Table: Temp
This is what I tryied -
[Temp_ElectronicCustomers.RcvdQty]
and
[Temp_ElectronicCustomers]![RcvdQty]

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a database that uses quite a lot of outside sources. There are multiple users and each one of us now are getting the invalid argument error. When we received it before it was because the DB was huge. It has since been made smaller. What are other reasons as to why we are getting this error again? We have to get out of the database, compact it and then go back in in order to do anything with it.
Please help! Thank you.
