Hi all,
I am generating a multi source concatenated code with an update query in Microsoft Access. I am wondering if there is a way to cut the update to only new entries rather than updating all records each time the query is run.
Any helpers for this problem?
Hi,
I'm not sure whether i'm in the right forum or not but i'll tell you my problem and if i'm not you can point me in the right direction.
I have a form with a text area which allow's the user to submit a comment to an Access database.
I get the following error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'
but this only seems to happen when the following characters are used " . / * : ! # & - ? " in the message.
Can the settings in Access be changed to correct this problem
or is it a coding problem??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's my problem. We maintain a list of items that are sold on ebay. We keep track of all items purchased by individuals and the dates that those items were purchased. We guarantee shipping by 6 weeks after the sell date...
Therefore, I am trying to create a query that will show me all items that are 6 weeks and older and have not shipped. There is a column that says date purchased and one for date shipped if an item is already completed. Any suggestions!!??!?! :confused:
I have about 10 columns with data in each column...the columns dont need to show every time. I want to set it up where the user pics the column heading from a drop-down menu and then that column alone will show, none of the other columns are visible...can this be done?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to remove random characters from a field. The field [assycode] contains a string similar to say, FGEJBF1 or ABFGYRUKC I want to remove any occurrence of "F1" normally at the end of the string but not always at the end. I used: Like "*f1*" to find the correct records, that worked fine, I then used [Assycode]-" f1" in the update to box, It wants to update 146 records I click ok then it says It couldn't due to a type conversion error. Just messing around I tried adding "F1" to these records using [Assycode]+" f1" and it worked fine. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I am trying to run a query and display the results in a report (the report side of it is childs play and not a problem). The problem I am having is that I have a search form which should allow the user to search any one of 6 fields (text boxes) or a combination of each.
If the user enters something into a field then that search criteria must match. I wanted to have it so if all fields are left blank then it will show all entries in the database (but it isn't, it shows a blank report). I also wanted it to allow partial completion of boxes.
So for instance if I have 5 customers (Jones, Jonson, Jonus, jimjonkins, Janis) and I type "Jon" into the name field then I would like it to show the first 4 records as they all contain "jon" somewhere in their name but its not, its only allowing exact matches.
I currently have '[forms]![Search_Customer]![Search_Name]'.
I've found myself having to start using Access due to record limits. My reports come to me in Excel and go out in Excel, but by sheer quantity I need to store records in Access.
My problem is in an Update Query:
I import records into a 'DoNotDelete' table and then run an update query to the 'CallsEntered' table. After that I run a Delete query to clear the 'DoNotDelete' table for next time.
The problem is that 'CallsEntered' table is updating the 'DoNotDelete' table.
I know this is simple, but I've done what the "manuals" say to (as far as I can tell). Your time is appreciated.
UPDATE DoNotDelete INNER JOIN CallsEntered ON DoNotDelete.[Work Order Nbr] = CallsEntered.[Work Order Nbr] SET CallsEntered.[Wo Status] = CallsEntered![Wo Status], DoNotDelete.[Date CheckIn] = CallsEntered![Date CheckIn], DoNotDelete.[Assigned Installer] = CallsEntered![Assigned Installer];
I'm new to access and I'm trying to learn the functionality by creating a relational DB for US zip codes from an excel document. I've imported everything and I have the tables setup. Is there a way to run a MYSQL query like this:
UPDATE tbllocation, tblzipcode SET tbllocation.ZipID = tblzipcode.ZipID WHERE tbllocation.ZipID = tblzipcode.ZipCode;
in access 2007?
Thanks
I have summarized a table(a) of 589 records into a table of 119 records(b).
I am trying to calculate a factor in (a) as a percentage of the total in (b) for each record in (a).
(a) can have multiple records for each corresponding, summarized record in (b).
I do this by dividing each of the many records in (a) by a summarized record in (b) with a common field in both.
Basically, I am dividing
Round(([(a)]![netchrg] / [(b)]![netchrg]),8)
All I get is 0.00000000
I have checked my join relationships.
I started by checking the 2nd bubble. It did not work. Eventually, I have tried selecting all three bubbles on the joins and that does not get me any different values.
I would have thought that the 2nd bubble would have given me all of (a) and match it to the the records is (b) for the calculation.
I have even tried eliminating the joins completely but I still get a 0 value.
I have verified that both tables have values in the netchrg field.
Suggestions?
Thanks.
Hi ALL,
I have 2 tables, trying to update one table filed by using max(onefiled) from other table.
my qyery is as follows:
my tables are tblSubFlowForecast and tblPickCalendar
I have to update one field in tblSubFlowForecast by taking max(onefiled) from tblPickCalendar.
UPDATE tblSubFlowForecast INNER JOIN tblPickCalendar ON tblSubFlowForecast.Delivery=tblPickCalendar.Delive ry SET tblSubFlowForecast.[Latest Replen Date] = ( SELECT max(Pick) FROM tblPickCalendar WHERE Type="Replen");
I am getting error saying that "Operation must be an updateable query" :(
I have also tried in other way:
UPDATE tblSubFlowForecast SET [Latest Replen Date] = (SELECT max(Pick) FROM tblPickCalendar WHERE tblSubFlowForecast.Delivery=tblPickCalendar.Delive ry AND tblPickCalendar.Type="Replen" ) FROM
tblSubFlowForecast,tblPickCalendar
This is giving me syntax error (missing operator) :(
Can any body tell me why it is giving error?
Thanks in advance

I want update a table (in Access 2010) based on the results from a pass-through query that pulls data from an old Fox Pro database.
With the following query I push data into my access table (everything works fine):
Code:
INSERT INTO Bolle ( esercizio, numero_documento, ...)
SELECT Bolle_Arca.[esercizio], Bolle_Arca.[numero_documento], Bolle_Arca.[testata_codice], ...
FROM Bolle_Arca
WHERE
Bolle_Arca.[testata_codice] NOT IN (SELECT Bolle.testata_codice FROM Bolle)
When I try to update the same table using the same pass-through query:
Code:
UPDATE Bolle INNER JOIN Bolle_Arca ON Bolle.riga_codice = Bolle_Arca.riga_codice
SET Bolle.esercizio = Bolle_Arca.esercizio
, Bolle.numero_documento = Bolle_Arca.numero_documento, ...
WHERE Bolle.spedito = False
and Bolle.data_invio_mail_spedito is null
and (Bolle.tracking is null or Bolle.tracking = '')
and Bolle.testata_codice = Bolle_Arca.testata_codice;
I get this error: "Operation must use an updatable query"
I have a database that logs complaints. I've added a field to calculate the age of a complaint based on the date received and the date resloved. To update this field I have an update query that runs after someone closes an update form. My problem is that I recieve two dialog boxes one that confirms that I'm will be updating the table and another that tells me how many rows were updated. I would not like those boxes to appear so the update would look transparent.

I am really not sure where to ask this one.....
My boss and I are in a jam. We have been using Access to run a reporting process, but one of our tables will exceed the maximum fields allotted this month. Our thought, dump the table into SQL Server and use the GUI interface provided in Access Projects.
Unfortunately, the query designer seems to have a few drawbacks. The one that effects us the most is in using UPDATE queries where more than one table is used to determine records to be updated. In attempting it, we get the message: "The designer does not graphically support the Optional FROM clause SQL construct".
Now I know we can manually create Update Queries, but we often need 1,000+ in a short period of time. Manually punching in all the fields involved and other code just isn't timely.
Question: Is there some alternative, service pack or anything else that would allow us to graphically create these Update Queries using Access Projects or even SQL Server 7.0? I would hate to have to scrap all the work we did over something that seems so minor.
Thanks in advance!

I have an Access crosstab query that I have exported to an Excel Spreadsheet. I have the spreadsheet formatted using conditional formatting and I'd rather not have to reset it every morning. It's a single spreadsheet (the columns/rows will not deviate greatly day to day) and should be very simple, but I'm not getting it for some reason.
So if I have "Test.accdb" and it contains "qryX" as my crosstab and "Sheet1.xls" is my formatted Excel spreadsheet, how do I code for the latest "QryX" to go in and replace the old "QryX" data in "Sheet1.xls" ?
Access doesn't seem to recognize the values in a table I am updating. I am using an update query to revise prices in a column Titled "Price". I am comparing the prices in the Price column to the prices in another column with a simple IIF statement (i.e., IIF([Price]=[Column2Price],"Yes","No"). However, oddly, the formula produces a "No" result, even when the prices are plainly the same values, and all formatting for both columns is the same. Whenever I manually type over the price with the same value, the formula works and Access seems to work as intended. For example, I simply type "12.95" over the same value that is displaying in the column that I updated that is already showing "12.95". Then, after I do that, the formula works and produces a "Yes" value.

Field: PctSls (in tblBudget) Update to: [Expense] / [Sales]. The update query always returns 0. However, if I create a Select query using the same calculation, the correct results is displayed. PctSls is defined in the Budget table.
I haven't worked with Access (2003) for several years but this seems too simple to be causing me such frustration. (Was only a casual user even then).
Hello,
I need your help.
in a budget application I'ma making, I have a table with all the budgets names, a table with the 12 months of the year, and a table with the budget, the months and the amount allocated for every budget topic for every month.
In order to facilitate the yearly view, i would like to build a special form that shows all the budgets for every month. Each column would be a diffetent month, the fist one being filled by the budget topics (a bit like an axecl sheet).
How can I build this form?
It is very helpfull for the application because it helps the user to fill the budgets month by month, but with keeping a yearly view (instead of having a long list of 3 columns, 1 for the budgets names, one fir the monthes, and one for the amounts).
Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi guys,
I have a question regarding special characters that access doesn't like to see.
When passing a string to be absolved via html, if I set myHtmlBody = "<font color="#000FF"></font> it will throw a syntax error because of the # character.
How can I solve this? Thx for any help.
Can anyone give me a direction for the following problem please :
I would like to create a yearcalendar that might do the following job for me:
I have 12 firms with different amounts of people working for them. We need to see those people once a year and give every firm an amount of days that they can come see us. Every firm may send 5 people each day but we can see up to two firms per day. So we receive 10 people on a daily base but only a max of 5 belonging to one firm.
I would like to have a means of automaticaly according dates to those firms over a period of one year but I must be able to exclude or instance, week-ends, holidays and so on...
I hope you can give me a start because I realy don't know where to begin
I recently upgraded to Access XP (2002) and now my application will not respond to F11 to get into the development window. This application has two mdb files. One is the database (with security), and the other one has the forms, queries, reports and links to the tables in the first mdb.

Okay I have a table with info about a computer and the usernames who can use this computer. Over the course of the day or week I have to add more users to this computer. I don't want to keep making a new record with the same computer information and only changing the usernames. I want to do it so I can go back to this form with the computer info. and username and click a button or something which allows me to add another user to the record. Essentially just adding another column. How would I do this? I'm pretty basic in Access so go easy on me.
View 1 Replies View RelatedOk here is the next step i need to figure out :)
I need to have unique ID for each of my record in my form, and it should be created automatically.It should look like this:
AB060106-1
AB060106-2
AB060107-1
AB060107-2
AB060107-3
AB060108-1
and so on.
Idea is to have two or three letters at the front that never change, then 6 numbers that represent current date (year,month,day), and then incrementing numbers for that day.Whenever day changes, this last number starts from 1 up to 999 and next day it resets to 1 again.
Any ideas where should i start from? Thanks
Hi, I'm running Microsoft access version 10 and i need help with a report i need to make. I need to print out a roster report showing what students show up on what days. I have boolean variables in the table for each day and it is quite easy to make a report of the students i want with the days of the week and a check under which day the student comes in. What I want however, instead of a check to show up under Monday (or any day) for the students, i want that students name to appear. So i teacher can just go down the list and on any given day see the students names very easily. when a student does not show up that day that row and column can just be blank
Here is a very crude sample of the report a have. a slash is a check
Monday Tuesday Wednesday
Jack / /
Brian /
Kelly / / /
Here would be the exact same report but formated the way i want it
Monday Tuesday Wednesday
Jack Jack Jack
Brian Brian
Kelly Kelly Kelly Kelly
thanks for any help.
