Merging Two Data Bases
Oct 25, 2007
I have two seperate files with the same type of data. Each file is sorted into multiple batches. The first file is a current data base still being used that was created in an older version of access. The new database has some records, but is in a newer version of access. I need to know how to copy the records from the currently used but older version of access into the new database. I need for the records to be active to run reports. Sorry if its a basic question.
New job.

If my make queries in the data base and the source data base is another .mdb and the table names in the other .mdb which would be used for the queries are the same as those in the data base where the queries would be made......does anyone see any problems with that in the area of corruption or similar.
The queries made would be indentical to their counterparts in the data base where they are made and would serve the same purpose.
It would be a toggle type of thing whereby the recordsources for the forms in question would be changed.
For what I want to do it works perfectly but I am not sure if there would be problems that would only surface with longer term use and varied conditions as opposed to some short term testing.

I have an excell spreadsheet with member names
the member names are duplicated up to 6 times each depending on how many months from october - march they have been members.
The excellspreadsheet looks like this
Member name Member number October care level November care....
triscuit83 1234 1
Triscuit83 1234 1
Is there a way in access I could make triscuit 83 show up once and have all the care levels stay on the same line.
Please let me know if there are any clarifications needed.
I need help hardcore
****edit****** the example doesnt show up formated right basically 1 will be in the october column the first time and a 1 will be in the november column the second line.

So i'm not sure where this post belongs as it may encompass several items.
I have an excel sheet where every row has an email address and a product purchased. I've imported it all into access but would like to run a query to find out how many people that bought x purchased y. Or tell me how many people that x did not buy a,b, or c.
Part of the problem is that each record is one product. My data looks like this:
email: Product:
e1 p2
e1 p7
e1 p33
e2 p2
e2 p9
e3 p1
e4 p1
e4 p3
I was able to group some of the data by email address in access but can't figure out a good way to query it. I'm thinking I probably need to merge the data where each unique email address is a record and the products have all the products purchased instead of just one but I really have no clue how to do that.
Is this easily do-able? how would I go about this?
Thanks alot!

Hi, I have a db (MS Access 2000) that currently has 37 tables in it, each table holds about 30 rows and 72 columns of data. I need to basically create the entire database again but change all the column names slightly so that they still hold the same information but with different column names, then I need to merge each newly created table into the existing corresponding table.
As there are about 86400 entries I would rather change 2000 odd column names than re-enter all the data again. I would be extremely appreciative if someone could suggest the easiest and quickest way to do this. Many thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,
I can't get my head around this so I'm looking for some help if possible please, there are two questions, the first is:
When in the query, I want the criteria for the date selection to be a question, ie. "[Week Start Date?]" but I want the actual criteria selection to be from the start date plus 5 days, the only way I've done that so far is to do ">=[From?] and <=[To?]", which uses two questions and I don't seem to be able to do ">=[Week Start Date?] and <=[Week Start Date?]+5" which seems basically correct, but I expect I'm writing it incorrectly (basic access knowledge I'm afraid :( )
The second question (after I've got the 5 day date criteria sorted) is that the query produces a table that shows basically the following:
Name Store Date Visited
Tom Bury 18/01/06
Tom Bury 19/01/06
Tom Diss 20/01/06
Dick Thetford 18/01/06
Harry Diss 20/01/06
The query is based on a part week period with the starting date ALWAYS a Monday, so no more than Mon-Sat will appear, I want to put the information into a table or query, so the result ends up as:
Name Store Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat
Tom Bury 18/01/06 19/01/06 'Blank' 'Blank' 'Blank' 'Blank'
Tom Diss 'Blank' 'Blank' 20/01/06 'Blank' 'Blank' 'Blank'
Dick Thetford 18/01/06 'Blank' 'Blank' 'Blank' 'Blank' 'Blank'
Harry Diss 'Blank' 'Blank' 20/01/06 'Blank' 'Blank' 'Blank'
*Where the blanks are simply left empty, rather than putting in the word 'blank'
Essentially converting the "[From?]" (as stated earlier) or "[Week Start Date?]" to Monday, that date + 1 to Tuesday, etc, BUT putting multiple dates relating to name and store criteria onto one record :eek:
Beyond me I'm afraid, any pointers would be seriously appreciated, I expect I'm approaching the problem from the wrong angle.
Regards
Tony

Newbie here,
i have two tables with 3 fields in each (code, Description and amount)
what i need to do is join these two together to show data from both tables (some of the
data in fields one and two will be identical, but the third fields in both
tables will need separate entries for each table)
the primary key would be the first field (code) ysee, the original table has been updated
by a n other, some codes and descriptions changed for others so, i would like to end up with
feild one, all codes from both tables, field two,
all descriptions matched to codes from both tables,
field three numbers matching from first table, field
four numbers matching from second table.
is this a possibility?
please help...loosing hair!

I need to merge data from one DB into another.I have a split database with front end DBcompanyFE and back end DBcompanyBE. BE is on the server so users at company (3 users) can access it with their own FEs.I also have 2 users that are working at some other location (geographically) and they have identical BE of database (DBcompanyBE) and their own FEs.Now, my problem is, that at each location there is different data entered, but on both locations all the data is needed. What would be the easiest and mybe most automated way to merge/combain those data.

Hi,
how do i get the current record form access 2003 to merge the data into word 2003 template that I created.
The code I'm using is :-
Private Sub Command313_Click()
Dim oApp As Object
Dim doc As Object
Dim strDocName As String
Set oApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
oApp.Visible = True
strDocName = "K:Supported Living ServicesdatabaseDB-Personnel.dot"
Set doc = oApp.Documents.Open(strDocName)
doc.FormFields("Title").Result = Forms!Personal!Title
doc.FormFields("fristname").Result = Forms!Personal!firstname
Set doc = oApp.Documents.Add(strDocName)
End Sub
I'm using 2 fields here but will be adding a lot more once I got it working.
Thanks inadvance

Hi all, I'm not an Access programmer by trade, but unfortunately got handed a project that nobody else wanted.
I have a small database taking shape which will track the auditing of paperwork/files. Each file has a unique ID associated with it, in this case, an account number. Audits will take place by selecting the job area (department), then the type of file (Line, Loan, Increase). This will be used to sort which type of audit questions are asked.
I have the following tables created:
tblQuestions: ID, Question, Product question applies to, Function question applies to, Comment field, and result field.
tblTeamMember: MemberID, TeamMember, Manager, PrimaryFunction
tblAuditResult: AuditID, MemberID, AccountNumber, Question, Result, Comment, Date of Audit
tblProduct: List of product types (line, loan, increase)
tblFunction: list of job functions
Currently a form is displayed so the manager can select the job function, then the file type. This will display:
frmAuditCreate - this form contains the fields: txtAccount, cmbManager, cmbTeamMember, txtAuditDate
Sub form on frmAuditCreate - frmQuestionSub - this form contains the fields: Question, Comment, Result
The frmQuestionSub is built off a query which uses the function and product values to determine which questions to filter and display.
Now, once the user is done flipping through each question in the sub form and input the data into the comment and result field associated with that question, I need that information along with the information on the frmAuditCreate to be stored in the table tblAuditResult. This is the problem I'm having difficulty with. I can't find a way to copy the question, comment, and result and insert it into the same record as the rest of the data.
Unfortunatlly I can't strip the database down enough to meet the 100k or less attachment limit.

We have a client who has managed to muck up their Access database by means of having two users on two computers attempting to use and modify it at the same time, and the primary (actually, the only) location for the database is on Dropbox.
What seems to have happened is that Dropbox detected a conflict, with two different versions of the same file, and resolved this by creating two separate files. How long this went on before the client noticed that they were entering data into two separate files, I can't say.
Their client list is 28,000 someodd people long. What I need to know is if there's a process for merging the two files together, without creating 28,000 duplicate entries. This is being run on Access 2002.

I am linking to an SQL database that is designed in such a way that the problem description is recorded in multiple records. See a simplified example below. I want to run a query that will merge the information in the PROBLEM_DESCRIPTION and return only one record for PROB_ID 55678.
PROB_ID ORIGINATOR DATE PROBLEM_DESCRIPTION
55678 Jim 01/01/2015 While cleaning my computer, I noticed
55678 Jim 01/01/2015 the screen was cracked. I called
55678 Jim 01/01/2015 the IT department and they said I had
55678 Jim 01/01/2015 to write a work order. However it
55678 Jim 01/01/2015 was rejected without reason.

I must admit I am a "newby" to Access but I have bought my Access 2000 bible, as I am running Access 2000, and attempted to create my desired database. I have linked to 2 tables that I download on a daily basis. This is my inventory from two different suppliers. I then have created two queries that filters each of these files to only show positive quantity items, filters out item specifics, etc.What I want to do is join the 2 queries with their data already filtered. Both of the files from 2 different suppliers contain some of the same data. Once joined if there is an item that is the same I want to delete the higher cost item and only show the lower cost item, I also want to show the rest of the items that do not match. It is easy to identify the same items as every item contains a 12 digit identifier called a upc.I can create a UNION ALL query that shows every item from the two queries. However, I am unsure as to how I go about deleting the higher cost item and only showing the lower cost item if the item is the same. On a side note after I get the results desired I will then be createing an append to query and append all this information to another file that is then uploaded to another system.I will try to attach some sample data that I am using from the two queries I want to join, this data is only a sample of a much bigger file.Thank you and any and all comments or suggestions is much appreciated.

Have 2 tables:
...TableA: 1 indexed field "Name" and many data fields in ~ 1000 records
...TableB: 1 indexed field "Name" and 2 data fields (DataB1 and DataB2) in about
~ 50 records
Tables currently have NO relationship set.
Want to add TableB data fields to TableA if Name are identical.
DataB1 and DataB2 fields are Not currently in TableA but could be added very easily.
Update (or whatever) will be done weekly where all previous data for DataB1 and DataB2 will be cleared from TableA before job is run.

I've created a access database containing multiple tables, theres one main table that will contain all the data compiled.
I then have other tables that contain some matching data but with an additonal column filled in,
I want to be able to pull the data from these other tables into the main table and compile it including merging some data into a single feild.
Effectively this is what the inputs will be:
Code:
Table 1
Ident Number Solution TRN
T0941A1 SLN019149 EFE0008
T0941B1 SLN019149 EFE0008
T0941C1 SLN019149 EFE0008
Code:
Table 2
Ident Number Solution TRN
T0941A1 SLN019149 EFE0167
T0941B1 SLN019149 EFE0167
T0941C1 SLN019149 EFE0167
Code:
Table 3
Ident Number Solution TRN
T0941A1 SLN019149 EFE0188
T0941B1 SLN019149 EFE0188
T0941C1 SLN019149 EFE0188
Then the main table i want to compile the data like this:
Code:
Table 4
Ident Number Solution TRN
T0941A1 SLN019149 EFE0008,TRN0167,EFE0188
T0941B1 SLN019149 EFE0008,TRN0167,EFE0188
T0941C1 SLN019149 EFE0008,TRN0167,EFE0188
i want it to show as 1 line item and compile the TRN numbers into a single feild per row rather than having duplicates.

We are creating a database to log data on a project. There will be thousands of files. Can we input data, using the same table, at separate locations and then merge the data into a master table? We will need to do that many times.

My network was using Access 2000 and Word 2000. We recently upgraded to Access 2002 and Word 2002, but now none of my merge forms are working. I don't get any error messages, and the merge function does open Word, but all I get is the original source document and not the actual merge information. I checked my VB references and nothing is glaringly missing. What's the deal?

Hi, I'm very new to access so sorry if this request seems a bit stupid.
I'm trying to get one csv file for a database of cars so I can upload it to my open-realty account.
In one table is the car ID and there are fields like Price, Extras, Mileage etc associated to that ID. (this is how I want everything to stay) I would like additional fields like Photo 1, photo 2, photo 3....photo 25 related to each car.
In the second table there are photos of the cars but each photo has its own unique ID but a field that relates to the ID of the car it is associated to.
How do I merge the two tables into one simpler version?
I've attached screen shots of the two tables.
Thanks for any help.

Hello-
We are using an Access database for off-site data entry. We therefore have one master database we keep in the office and then a "template" version -which is identical to the master version except no records - we bring to each site, do the data entry and then merge that data back into the Master database.
Can anyone help suggest ways to make the data merging process more efficient. The database has approx 12 tables, so I dont' want to create an append query for each one every time. Is there a way to just "merge" two identical databases??
THANKS

I am trying to import some data (job details for a machine shop), that is being exported from a CNC program.
The export has all the information we need, in a delimited format, but it spreads this over several lines. I also contains lots of junk we don't need.
Access imports this, but those lines then form an individual record in a tempory table.
I missunderstood what the 'UNION' query was, and whilst this has created nicely organised data, with just the stuff we need, it gives it over 3 individual records.
I either need to combine the 3 records from the output of the UNION query into a single record, or (and I suspect this is the case, as the UNION query doesn't actually do anything if I think about it), find a way of combining different fields from the temp import table into a single record in the query.
I've done a fair amount of searching on 'merging records', but can't seem to find a similar problem. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hello
I need to merge a set of Access tables. I am creating a database which will hold a large amount of records (upto 250 000 in one table). I am importing the data from an excel spreadsheet. As each spreadsheet is limited to 65000 records I had to save the file in 4 different spreadheets. However in Access I need all these files saved in one table. Can anyone please help me?
Thanks

Hello first post here, I need some help!Sorry not sure if this should go under queries or tables.Anyway I'm working with quite a large access db (64mb).I want to merge data from several tables into one table.Its a supermarket db (not a real one). Its got a customer and product tableIts also got a table called agg_c_special_sales_fact_1997with the fields customer_id and product_id this shows what customers bought what product.I want to merge the data from customer, product and agg_c_special_sales_fact_1997 into one big table. I want the merge to be permanent so I can see the which customer (and all their details) bought which product (all details) in one big table. I ve been trying to do this all day (im quite new to SQL) I copied the data in agg_c_special_sales_fact_1997 into a new table "new_sales_fact". I added a row called brand_name to that I want to copy from the product tableSo far I ve come up with this:SELECT product.brand_name INTO new_sales_fact FROM product, agg_c_special_sales_fact_1997WHERE product.product_id = agg_c_special_sales_fact_1997.product.id;unfortuantely access asks me enter a parameter value when I run the query.Could this becuase agg_c_special_sales_fact_1997 is huge, its got 86,000+records?Can anyone help? I'd be most greatful this has been driving me insane all day!!thanks in advance! P.S the database is the test database that comes with Mondrian......P.P.S I know its not good practice to have all data in one big table but for the purposes of what im doing it will simplfy things a lot!

Hello all
I'm not really an Access programmer, but I maintain a couple of databases for my own use (music collection etc.). I hope no-one minds me posting here :)
I've made a bit of a mistake. I had two copies of a database on different machines, and I entered new data into both of them.
Is there any way of merging two tables, discarding any records which are identical?
Many thanks in advance for any responses!
Cheers
