Make Table Query With Auto Primary Key Help

Jan 24, 2007

Anyone...
Please can you tell me how I run a make table query that makes one of the fields a primary key. Can it be done in the query or do I have to set it as part of a macro that runs the query. If so How do I achieve this.

I am running a make table query from a link table so i can use it with infopath. I run the make table query every time I update the spreadsheet that the link table runs off and it makes a proper table with it for infopath to run off (because I can't get infopath to run off a link table, No primary key means it won't submit.) When I run the macro that runs the query and creates the table, I need it to make oone of the fields a primary key.

Any suggestions

Tables :: Setting Primary Keys To More Than One Field In Table / But They Cannot Have Null Values

Nov 30, 2012

Access 2010..One organization that we work with provides us with a block of numbers for each of the two types of contract products we order from them; we do order non-contract stuff from them also.The block of numbers are the same (i.e. 20000 to 30000 this year) for each of the two products. This means that each product can have the number 20000, for example. We call this the Tracking Number. If it is one of these products, we need to select the Contract Number.

For all other one off orders we have with them, we assign our own Tracking Number starting with 00001. This Tracking Number cannot duplicate unless it is one of the aforementioned two products.Both the Tracking Number and Contract Number are in the same table. The user selects the Contract Number from a form (connected to the Contract Number table that has all the details on the contract) and the Contract Number is populated in the same table that has the Tracking Number.Each order must have a Tracking Number (no null)..Not all orders need a Contract Number (null okay).The Tracking Number and Contract Number combination cannot duplicate.I tried setting the primary keys to more than one field in the table, but they cannot have null values.

If not... I have been working on Plan B.... an AfterUpdate on the form (either the form or a field... don't know yet) that looks at a query that only has results if there are duplicate values.

General :: How To Combine 2 Tables With Same Primary Key To Make One Table

Oct 18, 2012

How to I combine 2 tables with the same primary key to make one table? I have seen several thigns but none have worked. I seen inner and outer joins. All 4 of my tables have the same primary key. I just want to combine all the tables to make one table. I have a form with subforms but if I can combine all the tables and work off one rather then 4 I will be happier. Every week to 2 weeks I upload new data from excel. How would I after I add the new data combine all tables to one super table?

Setting Composite Primary Key

May 29, 2012

I am trying to set a primary key on two fields. the problem is that the one field is null for some records. They will eventually fill them in. However, because it is null now it will nowt let me set it as a primary key. I tried setting the field, in the properties, with a default value; but it would not take it.

If A Make-table Query Result Is Null, How To Have A Default Message Appear In Table ?

Jan 21, 2005

Hi everybody,

Beginner here needs help !

I'm building a make-table query for which if the result is null (no record correspond to the set of criterias), a default message like "there was no activity during the period" would appear in the table (not a message box...I need the message in the output table). The best I could think of is an IIF function but it doesn't seem to work... Is there any way to do this without using VBA?

Thanks in advance !

Sep 23, 2007

Dear Access Expert

I wanted to know if it is possible to change the name of the Table which is going to be created using a Make-Table Query via code (VBA).

For example if my Make-Table query currently creates a table with the name "Table1" I want to change it to name "Table2" and then change it Back to "Table1" or "Table3" etc.... depending on the users selection.

Make Table Query Help

May 15, 2006

:confused: I am using a Make Table Query to filter a Linked Excel Table. Is there a way to cut/drop the first 8 characters of the text out of one of the fields as it creates the new table?

Field NameExcel DataFinal Data

Also, the final table has two Relationships with two other tables. When I run the Make Table Query once a week, I have to break the relationship to get it to run. Is there an easier way to dial with this?

Make Table Query

Aug 27, 2007

I have a database named NewUpdate.mdb. I have another database named MainDatabase.mdb. Almost all the tables in NewUpdate.mdb are linked tables that are in the MainDatabase.mdb file.

I've written a simple make-table query in NewUpdate.mdb that makes a backup of a table that is located in the MainDatabase.mdb file. (See code below.)

SELECT tblProviderRate.* INTO tblProviderRateSave
FROM tblProviderRate;

The only problem is that this new table is created in the NewUpdate.mdb file. I need the query to be stored in the NewUpdate.mdb file and the "new" table to be created/stored in the MainDatabase.mdb file.

This sound simple enough, but I'm drawing a blank as to what I need to do in order for this to occur. Can someone tell me what I'm leaving out??

Thanks,
CRhodus

Make Table Query

May 28, 2006

Dear friend

I need your help desperatly. In my db, I am making a "make table query" to match some text.

Help me build this please.

First a form which has text box, where I will put in some words..
Then a make table query, which will have =[form]![name of form]![control name]
A report on same table.

Means when some one puts some words in text field of form, on pressing hit button, a like statement is automatically created in one field of query which matches those words and a table is generated from them. Result is report.

Hope this is clear, could you please help me build this?

Make-Table Query With Relationship To New Table

May 31, 2005

I've got a problem with a make-table query that creates a new table which is then populated with new values that relate back to the original table the trouble is the make-table won't run with that relationship in place.

Is there a way to delete the relationship then reinstate it after the query? or any other way round that someone can think of.

Thank You

Make Table Query From Filtered Table

Jul 31, 2007

I have come across a snag in my access project I am currently undertaking and need some advise on what should be done next. . .

In a nutshell, this project's primary purpose is to perform a search on a table of information based on many fields and generate a report based on the records which match the search. I have the search form working (similar to this one here) http://allenbrowne.com/ser-62.html

It displays the results from the table based on the search criteria. The form is great for viewing the results which match search criteria; however, I am having trouble doing anything else with the data (perform operations on the data, send the results to the table, etc. . .). How should I go about moving this data to a table?:confused:

Make Table Query - With Date In Table Name

Aug 20, 2007

I have used/am using the "INTO tbl_temp_copy" to create a temp table from a query called tbl_temp_comp. Everytime I run my query it deletes and then creates a new table with the same name - and this is what I have been wanting.

However now I would like to create a table with the date in the table name so:- "INTO tbl_temp_copy_Date()" but obviously this does not work and I do not know if it is even possible?

Anyone able to do this or know that it cannot be done?

Make-table Query Property?

Apr 19, 2007

I am having trouble with a make-table query. I run a query that populates my website with data daily. I have a bunch of fields in the db that I wanted to be displayed as one field on the website, so in my query I concatenated them. My website is able to distinguish which fields are text and which are memos so I can display multiple lines. Everytime I run the query, it creates the concatenated field as a text field. Is there a way I can default this to a memo type?

Thanks.
