Joining Information Advice
Feb 7, 2007
I hope the title isn't misleading. I just need some advise. I'm trying to bend my mind around how to accomplish this.
I'm putting together a database for a trucking company. The employees are paid according to the loads they haul. I have a setup right now where the manager can put in all the information (including driver, $$ rate, date, etc), and the invoice will be calculated and created in a report. Further, it also creates paystubs for each driver. This is where I am having trouble. You see, I can use a query and detail section in a report to add up the amount earned for each driver from each load. No problem there. My problem is that deductions are made to these paychecks for various things which change every week. I haven't quite figured out yet what the best solution would be for inputting this deduction information and then joining it to the payment information.
I hope this is somewhat clear what I am doing. If not, please let me know and I'll clarify. I can try to strip a database, but it still might be too big.
Thanks in advance for any help.

PS - If anyone has an eloquent way of choosing a pay period, I'd love to know about it. Right now I'm building the report off of undefined fields [Startdate] and [Enddate] in the query, prompting the user when s/he opens the report.

Hi
I have an Access database that contains 2 tables. Both of these tables have the same structure and have the same field names. So:
Table 1 Fields :
Name
Address
Telephone
Fax
Table 2 Fields :
Name
Address
Telephone
Fax
Is there a way to write a query, that will show the results of both tables in one go. (None of the information in table 1 is duplicated in table 2 - I want to show all records from both tables in one new table). So, if both tables had 3 records each, the query would return:
Name - Address - Telephone - Fax
jon-uk-12345-54321 (from Table 1)
julie-uk-21451-41541 (from Table 1)
paul-ir-98545-11241 (from Table 1)
pat-uk-99585-63362 (from Table 2)
phil-uk-99985-99631 (from Table 2)
ted-uk-44444-55555 (from Table 2)
These 2 tables need to be kept separate, so I can't copy and paste the records from Table 1 into the bottom of table 2.
The field names are the same in both tables.
Can this be done?
Many Thanks

Hi Guys,
I have a problem which I cannot figure out.
I have a table which has an ID field and also a field with data. The ID field is 'not' unique.
I need to join all of the data fields which have the same ID field into one field. So it would be ID; Data 1, Data 2...
Any ideas? I would appreciate any help you could offer!

I'm trying to create a Purchase Order Database that requires a monthly summary of all the purchase orders in that month.
Examples of the fields i'm using are: Date, Vendor, Description, Item Number, Unit Price, Quantity, Sub-total, Total, etc.
Each table is a single purchase order, and there are around 3 or so every month. What I am trying to do is create a query in which all related fields are joined, and can be viewed as a single field.
For example:
Field 1 is DATE for Purchase Order (PO) 1, 2, and 3.
What I want to do is join all entries in DATE from PO1, PO2, and PO3 in a single query.
I want it to look like:
[DATE]
PO1......
PO2......
PO3......
I've tried several approaches to this problem, but they all have the same end result. It creates a seperate field for each table:
[PO1-DATE][PO2-DATE][PO3-DATE]
Any suggestions?

I have two tables. One stores details of all money travelling from A to B, one from B to A.
I have created queries 'qry_A_to_B' and 'qry_B_to_A' to get each set of information.
Since there are User IDs in each table that don't appear in the other, I'm using the following two queries to return all the TO and FROM values. By using both LEFT joins, I appear to be getting all entries.
'A to B data
'------------
SELECT
[qry_A_to_B Yearly].ABUserID,
[qry_A to B Yearly].ABMonth_of_Year,
[qry_A to B Yearly].ABYearly_Sum,
[qry_A to B Yearly].ABMonthly_Sum,
[qry_A to B].ABMonth
FROM
[qry_A to B Yearly]
LEFT JOIN [qry_B to A]
ON [qry_A to B Yearly].[ABUserID] = [qry_B to A Yearly].BAUserID
GROUP BY
[qry_A to B Yearly].ABUserID,
[qry_A to B Yearly].ABMonth_of_Year,
[qry_A to B Yearly].ABYearly_Sum,
[qry_A to B Yearly].ABMonthly_Sum,
[qry_A to B].ABMonth;
'B to A data
'------------
SELECT
[qry_B to A Yearly].BAUserID,
[qry_B to A Yearly].BAMonth_of_Year,
[qry_B to A Yearly].BAYearly_Sum,
[qry_B to A Yearly].BAMonthly_Sum,
[qry_B to A].BAMonth
FROM
[qry_B to A Yearly]
LEFT JOIN [qry_A to B]
ON [qry_A to B Yearly].[ABUserID] = [qry_B to A Yearly].BAUserID
GROUP BY
[qry_B to A Yearly].BAUserID,
[qry_B to A Yearly].BAMonth_of_Year,
[qry_B to A Yearly].BAYearly_Sum,
[qry_B to A Yearly].BAMonthly_Sum,
[qry_B to A].BAMonth;
How can I join these two, to provide a list of ALL information, from all ten columns, regardless of whether or not someone has both a TO and FROM value? i.e.
If they only have a TO entry, I want to see it; the other five columns would be blank.
If they only have a FROM entry I want to see it; the other five columns would be blank.
If they have both, I want them to line up on one line.
However I try to phrase the query, I seem to miss at least some of the information from one or both tables.

I am building a simple task tracker to keep a record of tasks being passed back and forth between our team. The schema is fairly simple as illustrated in the image below.http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/f4f3a05c21.gifI want a recordset as follows out of this database (+/- few columns. But these are the most essential ones needed) -ixProject | Project.sTitle | ixTask | Task.sTitle | TaskHistory.dtEntry | sStatus | sEmployeeAssignor | sEmployeeAssigneeThis is basically a recordset of the history of the task (who assigned task to whom) and the status (assigned, resolved, closed). I can get the query to return the user id (ixEmployee) without any problems. But to display this in the interface I will need the employees name (sUsername).I tried the following query -SELECT Employee.sUsername AS sEmployeeAssignor, Employee.sUsername AS sEmployeeAssignee, Project.sTitle AS sProjectTitle, Task.sTitle, TaskHistory.dtEntry, TaskHistory.sDescription FROM(((Project INNER JOIN Task ON Project.ixProject = Task.ixProject) INNER JOIN (Employee INNER JOIN TaskHistory ON Employee.ixEmployee = TaskHistory.ixEmployeeAssignor)ON Task.ixTask = TaskHistory.ixTask)INNER JOIN Employee ON Employee.ixEmployee = TaskHistory.ixEmployeeAssignee <<< THIS IS THE PROBLEM LINE)WHERE (SELECT LAST(TaskHistory.ixEmployeeAssignee) FROM TaskHistory) = 1ORDER BY TaskHistory.ixTask, TaskHistory.ixTaskHistoryThis is the error I get -Join expression not supported.State:S1000,Native:-3530,Origin:[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]Can someone explain how I can solve this problem? I am currently running two queries - one to retrieve the usernames, and the other to retrieve the history with the user id's - and replacing the user id's with usernames when displaying the records, but would like to have a cleaner solution.

This gets even more confusing as I go.
Two tables again needing to be joined. But only need to fill the data in the first line.... yes, Pain in the ARSE> here's a sample.
PAYLINES TABLE
EMPLOYEE --------- DATE -------- Paytype
121614000 -------- 12/31/2007 --- 300
121614000 -------- 12/31/2007 --- 122
121614000 -------- 12/31/2007 --- 100
121614000 -------- 12/23/2007 --- 100
TAXTABLE
EMPLOYEE --------- DATE -------- CPP ---- EI
121614000 -------- 12/31/2007 --- 1.23 --- 2.35
121614000 -------- 12/23/2007 --- 2.32 --- 1.35
The end Query I need is
EMPLOYEE --------- DATE -------- Paytype --- CPP ---- EI
121614000 -------- 12/31/2007 --- 300 ------- 1.23 ---- 2.35
121614000 -------- 12/31/2007 --- 122 ------- NULL ---- NULL
121614000 -------- 12/31/2007 --- 100 ------- NULL ---- NULL
121614000 -------- 12/23/2007 --- 100 ------- 2.32 ---- 1.35
The TAXTABLE only needs to assign it's data to the FIRST row of the resulting query

Hello! I need to join 2 tables, 1 table with all of the fields, and another with just 2.
The link between the 2 tables is an ID field in field 2 wich is long integer.
The problem is, the ID field in table 1 that correlates to the ID field in table 2, is in the datatype text.
I cant change the datatype of the field in table 1 because it is a linked table to a txt file. And some of the values in there are dashes, indicating no ID. (not sure why).
So, is there ANY way to link the2 tables with the 2 different datatypes
Thanks in advance!

I have two tables in my database. one is linked to a Client.txt and the other is tblNewClient.
the idea is that this database is a portable version of the actual database, meaning that it will be operating on its own without a connection to the actual back end.
Now the problem is when a new customer is added, i want it to add itself to the tblNewClient.
but when i go into my Find CUSTOMERS FORM i need to be able to search threw both tables.
i want to creat somthing like a union query but in vba.
I figure i need to have 2 recordsets in vba. one for each table and then i need to have a 3rd recordset wich will hold all the info.
im not sure how to copy a whole recordset and set to another table.
Im thinking of somthing like
set RsAll = RsClient & RsNewClient
This obviously does not work but it is what i want to accomplish ,and i want the Rsall to be an actual table and not a public Recordset

I need to do a join on two tables, one is in the current database, but the onther one is an another database. I am struggling with the syntax. Can anyone advise where I am going wrong?
This is the code, but it says the usual 'Syntax error in FROM clause'
SELECT za06_report_2006.wbs, za06_report_2006.cost_cntr, wbslist.description
FROM za06_report_2006 LEFT JOIN wbslist in '\ukdewgs002gdatapcdatafinancedocumentwbslis t.mdb' on za06_report_2006.wbs= wbslist.[wbs element];
All table names , variable names, and paths are correct.

Hey everyone. I have this situation: I work for a veterinary company and I have a project which includes 4 tables.The first one has a list of all of our clients.The other 3 are : a table for the year 2004, one for 2005 and one for 2006. Not every client visits us every year and I need a query which will make certain action (different sorts of calculations) with the number of animals that we take care of.
To make it more clear:
During 2004 one client with ID 12345 visited us with 3 animals.
He didn't show up in 2005 but he came back in 2006 with 4 animals.
Trying to do so I joined the tables properly (in my opinion one-to many) and I only get the sum if a client has visited us for all the 3 years. If he appears in just two tables or one I don't get a result.
This is the problem. Has anyone got a clue?
Thanks in advance

Hello -
I have a table that looks like this:
Code:ID Station DateTime Value 1 ABQ 10/8/2005 1:00 am 102 ABQ 10/8/2005 2:00 am 203 ABQ 10/8/2005 3:00 am 254 ABQ 10/8/2005 4:00 am 5...
I am trying to build a query that, for each record, gives me the values for the previous 2 hours.
So my goal would be a query that returns:
Code:ID Station DateTime Value ValueT-1 ValueT-21 ABQ 10/8/2005 1:00 am 10 Null Null2 ABQ 10/8/2005 2:00 am 20 10 Null3 ABQ 10/8/2005 3:00 am 25 20 104 ABQ 10/8/2005 4:00 am 5 25 20...
I created a table (NewTable) that, for each record, has the DateTime, DateTimeT-1, and DateTimeT-2. So columns in Newtable are ID, Station, DateTime, Value, DateTimeT-1, DateTimeT-2 where DateTimeT-1 = dateadd("h",-1,DateTime) and DateTimeT-2 = dateadd("h",-2,DateTime).
I then joined (using a left join) this new table to the original table on [NewTable].[DateTimeT-1] = [OldTable].[DateTimeT].
so code is
Code:select [NewTable].ID, [NewTable].Station, [NewTable].DateTime, [NewTable].Value, [OldTable].DateTime, [OldTable].Value AS ValueT-1from NewTable left join ON [NewTable].[DateTimeT-1] = [OldTable].[DateTimeT]
The output does not pull all the right records. Some of the records have Null values for ValueT-1 when the datetimeT-1 is in OldTable. So for some reason the join doesn't seem to be working.
Hopefully this is clear. Any thoughts? Help is very much appreciated!
Thank you!

I have a database and i have one field call fdr. that field is full of data but i realized it wood be much more capable to do what i need if i use a joined table with every single fdr. so i created a table with fdr and a id column and set primary key as id. I filled in every single fdr into the table but now I need to replace the original table with the id and then have the fdr # from the new table show up.
Does anyone know how to create the update query and create the proper relationship for what i need to do?

My SQL ability is fairly basic so excuse me if this is something simple.
This isn't my database, I am trying to create a report on someone else's and it's a poor structure (sound familiar :-).
If I have created two queries; one of which selects results on students from one table and the other selects results on students from a completely different table, how do I combine these results into one query so I can run a report on it?
To outline the situation, I have two different queries with identical data types but from two different tables. I need to query these two queries and (possibly) link in another ‘student information’ table so that I can display the results from both queries as if they all came from the same place.
The addition of the extra table in the final query would only be so I can add extra student data into the final report.
Hope this makes sense!
Thanks,
Matt.
