Modules & VBA :: Parent Table Revision History - Insert Multiple Records Into Child Table
Sep 8, 2014
I have a parent table (tblLabels) and a child table (tblRevision) where the revision history for the parent table is kept.
The parent table is populated via an excel import and may have several records imported at once. Instead of having the user manually enter a new record note in the child table for each record imported into the parent table, I've created a form that collects the necessary data (date, person who added the record, person who authorized the record, and notes) and then creates a revision history for each new record.
This is what I have so far:
Code:
Private Sub cmdAddNotes_Click()
Dim strSQL As String
Dim RevisionDate As String
Dim RevisionRevisedBy As String
Dim RevisionDesc As String
[Code] ....
When I run the code nothing happens. No error, no new records create, etc. My suspicion is that I may need to use an INSERT INTO query instead of an UPDATE query, but I'm not sure how to go about matching up the foreign keys if that's the case.

Hi
I have a parent-child base table (accounts) with the following fields:
- id
- parentid
- name
every record's parentid is either 0 ( which means it is in the most upper level) or another record's id (which means it is the other record's child)
different levels of records are being used. I mean some accounts are used in the most 1st level with no childs, some in the second level, ....
I need a query to list the accounts which are not parent to any othe records, regardless of what level they are defined.
Thanks again for the help.

Sorry this is so long but I am trying to make it as detailed as possible...
The Setup
My database is similar to the sample "Service Call" db. I have a main table called "tblTT" which has an autonumber primary key. The table also contains several foreign keys such as UserID (not an autonumber) from "tblUser", TechID (also not an autonumber) from "tblTech", etc. I have the relationships setup with "Enforced Referential Integrity" for both updating and deleting records. Each relationship has a RIGHT OUTER JOIN ("Join 3" in access) so that all records from child (tblTT) and only equal from parent (tblUser, tblTech, etc.) will be included. I have a form for nearly every table which serves different purposes but the main function of the DB is to create new Trouble Tickets (TT's), a.k.a. service calls. Therefore the main form used is my "frmTT" form in add mode. The form contains all the fields from my "tblTT" table and contains (directly) no fields from any other table (I guess indirectly it contains fields from all the parent tables...).
The Problem
When I pull up "frmTT" and try to create a new Trouble Ticket for a user that does not yet exist in the table "tblUser" I get the error "You cannot add or change a record bcause a related record is required in table 'tblUser'".
What I want is for my users (the "Techs") to be able to create a new Trouble Ticket without having to worry about populating the "tblUser" table (and other parent tables) first.
My Solution
I was going to (and unless someone can find an answer for me still will) fix this using VB script by setting up a query to check all the parent tables for the values in their corresponding fields in the form. If the query returns no results an "INSERT INTO" statement will run to populate the parents tables so that the form will save itself into the Trouble Ticket table ("tblTT").
I feel that this is a huge work around and not the proper fix. I would prefer to do this the right way both to have a correctly setup DB and for future reference. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks,
Andy

I have an unbound new contact data entry form that adds records to many different tables. I have no problems adding one record to a child table at a time, but one of the things we are collecting is a list of online networks a person belongs to, and I want to be able to stick a "check all that apply box" on my form and have it add multiple records to the child table. Here's the basic set up, I have a parent table with the main contact information with a primary key field "IID", a lookup table with "Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter..." etc in it with a primary key field "online_id", and a bridge table to link the two which should have multiple entries for IID, one for each online_id. I want to use a listbox (or something like it) that the user can select multiple online networks and then have records added to the bridge table. I can figure out how to add the listbox on the form, what I can't figure out is how to get the values out of the listbox. T

I am trying to determine the best method for how to handle this query using Access 2013. I have a clients table that contains the following:
clientID fName lName admissionDate dischargeDate
1 John Doe 05/06/2014 06/27/2014
2 Jane Doe 04/24/2014 05/15/2014
3 Steven Smith 05/15/2014 NULL/Empty
4 Chris Davis 06/12/2014 NULL/Empty
Then there is a WeeklyProgressNotes table that is there for the person that is responsible for auditing the clients charts. It does not contain the actual weeklyprogressnotes, it only contains a Yes/No field and a date field for the date the weeklyprogressnote was completed. Like below:
noteID completed dateCompleted clientID
1 yes 05/08/2014 1
2 yes 05/14/2014 1
3 yes 04/25/2014 2
I am creating a form that the auditor can open to determine what weeks she needs to check for each client to see if they have their weeklyprogressnotes completed that week. The weeks run Mon - Sun and there will be no record in the WeeklyProgressNotes table if she has not yet checked and confirmed for that week. So the form would basically look like this:
fName lName week completed date clientID(hidden)
John Doe 5/19/14-5/25/14 Checkbox Null 1
John Doe 5/26/14-6/1/14 Checkbox Null 1
John Doe 6/2/14-6/8/14 Checkbox Null 1
John Doe 6/9/14-6/15/14 Checkbox Null 1
John Doe 6/16/14-6/22/14 Checkbox Null 1
John Doe 6/23/14-6/29/14 Checkbox Null 1
Jane Doe 4/28/14-5/4/14 Checkbox Null 2
and so on.......
I have thought about creating an SQL statement to select all of the clients and then creating a function that determines their admission date within the specific week and their discharge date withing the specific week and then create a loop with another SQL statement with a BETWEEN clause for all the weeks and determine if there is an entry in the WeeklyProgressNotes table or not. If not then I would display out the above info. I'm not sure if there is an easier, less search intensive way of doing it. Maybe an SQL query that can cut done on some of the looping.

I am creating a purchase request form for my company. The main form contains the PO Request # (autonumber) and general vendor and shipping information. The subform contains the item numbers on the order, the quantity and costs. What I am trying to do is make it so that users can click a "duplicate" button on the main form of an existing PO Request and have all the data replicated into a new PO Request. A lot of what we order is repetitious and it would time saving if users could just duplicate an order and modify as necessary. Can anyone help me with this one...
Thanks!:confused:

I would like to track the revision history of table records. To do so, I have created tables with two-key fields. A typical table is tblPO_Data. The first key field is PO_Number and the second key field is PO_Revision. Data fields follow.
A key element of this table is that each record may have any number of data fields left blank AND later revisions may only show the "changed" field values.
To Illustrate tblPO_Data:
PO_Number PO_Revision Length Width Height Weight Quant UPrice
100 _________0___________10_____15___________________2 ____20
100__________1_________________________30
100__________2_________________________35____100
200 _________0_______________________________________1 ____10
NOW I would like to create a query that lists one record for each PO number, showing the most recently revised data. The desired result would look like:
PO_Number PO_Revision Length Width Height Weight Quant UPrice
100_____________2_______10_____15_____35_____100__ ___2____20
200_____________0_________________________________ ___1____10
Please realize that this is an example. There would be numerous one to one tables for each PO number to reduce the number of blank fields (ie. only tables with changes would be get revised records).
Can someone suggest a way to create a query to accomplish the above requirements, thanks in advance, Jeff...

I have a table for a multiple parents linked to a child table. I need to figure out a way to only allow 1 parent to be coded as primary, 1 as secondary, and then the rest as other... I thought about making Primary/Secondary/Other a primary key. But then I can only have 1 other. I would have to make a finite number of parents that could be entered and I want an infinite number.... My end goal is to have a report that only has a primary and second parent on it, but the rest of the parents still exist in the table...
*Child_ID
Parent_First_Name
*Primary/Secondary/Other

I have a form with a sub form. when a record is choosen in a combo box the sub form is filled out with a record.
what I am trying to do is have a button that will copy that record to a history table then delete it off the the main table.
I cheated by using the wizard to get the code to delete the record but I am having troubles modifying the code to copy that record to the history table. Here is the code below. I have tried to insert code in several places but it just errors out.
'------------------------------------------------------------
' Master_tbl_sub_fm
'
'------------------------------------------------------------
Function Master_tbl_sub_fm()
On Error GoTo Master_tbl_sub_fm_Err

On Error Resume Next

I am reading through a table looking for duplicate values in the FullName text field. I want to store in a new table the duplicate records I find, storing just the MemberNumber and the FullName. When the VBA code runs and finds duplicates, the SQL statement to insert a new record into the Duplicates table asks for the value of LastMemberNumber and LastFullName when it already has the values and has displayed them in the message boxes! What am I doing wrong?
The code is:
Private Sub Command0_Click()
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim dbs As Database
Dim LastMemberNumber As Integer
Dim LastFullName As String
[code]....

In a situation where I imported an excel file with so many columns and split them into two temp tables and they are linked using a key.
the data has a fixed part lets say
Field1....Field2.....Filed3.....Field4...then Field5.....Field6.....Field7....Field8 is the same data range as Field9...Field10...Field11...Field12. I would want to split this data into multiple rows like this
Field 1 Field2 Field3 Field4 Field5 Field6 Field7 Field8
Field 1 Field2 Field3 Field4 Field9 field10 field11 field12 and so own...
What is the best approach?

I am building a simplified re-order point system - if inventory position drops below a certain level (the yellow level is this case) one or more purchase order lines has to be created in another table.
I have one table with the following field and data:
ItemId Red Yellow Green Multiple Inventory position
0001 10 30 50 5 45
0002 5 40 47 5 23
0003 11 20 30 10 5
I would like to generate new records (in another table) based on the above fields and three records.Basically the end result should look as the following:
ItemId Qty Start inv Aggregated inventory Prioritization
0002 5 23 28 Yellow
0002 5 28 33 Yellow
0002 5 33 38 Yellow
0002 5 38 43 Green
0002 5 43 48 Green
0003 10 5 15 Red
0003 10 15 25 Yellow
0003 10 25 35 Green
The logic is quite simple - if inventory position is less than the yellow value new order lines should be created in multiple qty (based on the multiple field) until the aggregated value (in table 2) is above the green value.The priotization value should be based on the start inv (in tbl 2) compared to the values in red, yellow and green in tbl 1.

Hi
I have a small database with 4 tables that I am using for the current problem.
The tables are call, parents, mailman, orders.
Call and parents are related by the call ID (a primary key in the Call table.).
Mailman and orders are related by a Unique Id (a primary key in the mailman table.).
Forms involved are frmmain and frmsub.
Frmmain contains the call table information in the main form and parents information in the subform.
When a user enters a call with call ID and enters the operator name and parents information in the sub form,
When a user clicks the OK button on the main form, necessary changes should take place
if they enter the case type in the sub form part of parent information as ‘missing information’ or ‘missing link’ then the parent information with fields first name, lastname, case type, operator information should be inserted into mailman table in appropriate fields.
Simultaneously a record should be inserted into orders( after the record is first inserted into mailman, since both tables are linked with unique id) with the following information.
Orderid being autonumber.
Uniqueid from the mailman table.
Orderdate system date.
Ordertype should be “Mailman”

I have a simple Family table:
PersonID
Name
ParentID
where, in the case of a child, its ParentID contains the PersonID of its parent.
In the Relataionships window I put two such tables, Family and Family_1 and I joined Family.ParentID to Family_1.PersonID. I set referential integrity, cascading updates and cascade deletes.
I made a Parents form (by setting the ParentID criteria to Is Null), and added a Children subform (linking the ParentID of the subform to the PersonID of the main form).
The cascading updates works when I add a new child but when I try to delete a parent I get the error: Could not update; currently locked.
Why doesn't the cascade delete work?

I have a main form with 2 subforms. Subform 1 shows the results of query 1, subform 2 shows the results of query 2.
Query 2 uses query 1 as a starting point. Query 1 is updated with an option group on the main form. In other words, when I select an option on the main form, qdef for query 1 is updated and query 2 will also be affected.
If I select an option the subforms don’t update. If I close and reopen the main form, the subforms show the correct information so the queries are being updated but the subforms are not showing the updated information.
I’ve been trying to requery the subforms using the following code in the OptionGroup_Click() event:
Forms![MainForm].[Subform1].Requery
Forms![MainForm].[Subform1].Requery
By the way, I don’t have any parent/child relationships.
Am I missing something simple.

Hi,
I've got a parent/sub-form set up, both of which derive their data from linked tables connecting to a central database. As a result I've had to add coding to the NewRecord events to fetch the next primary keys from the database.
Unfortunately I'm finding that one loading the new record, the child form seems to be loading before the parent, ie the child form_Current event occurs before the parent form_Current event. Is this how it should be? It seems intuitive that the parent should load first.
I'm sure I can develop some cunning logic to get around this problem but I'm sure there must be a better way. Has anyone any experience of this parent/child set-up with linked, central database tables?
thanks!
Dave

Newbie question: I have a database where we track dispatched with two tables, one called Slots, the other called Dispatches.
In the slots table there are 2 fields, one called Week (which hold the Monday date for each week in the year), the other called Available (in this field we want to manually enter a number that will tell the system how many dispatches we can do that week). We want to automatically take the number from the Slots.Available and enter X number of blank records in the Dispatch table with the monday date.
How can this be done?
Then we will create a form that can be filled in with the balance of the information.
Thanks

I have a field in the parent table which indicates how many child tables there should be at the most. I'm uncertain about how to enforce this. I"m using access as the database to a Vb.net app. Should I do it in access or Vb.net or both.

I have one parent table with 6 child tables (all child tables are linked to the parent table in the relationship through the BoardID autonumber field, and they are all one-to-one relationships). All of the tables feed into one form. I have added the "add new record" button to the form, but when I click on it, it only adds a record to the parent table. The only way I have found to solve this is to go into each individual table and add a new record. Is it possible to have a new record added to every table when I click the "add new record" button on the form?

I have a relationship between two tables; the parent table is "Client Information" with a primary key of "Client_ID", the child table is "Event Information" and the foreign key is "Client_ID".
I know that within the Event Information table I can select which Client_ID to use as the link. I want to have that done within a form, however. I have a form for Client Information with a subform for Event Information. If I go into the table and manually set the Client_ID then everything displays fine.
How can I set the Client_ID in the subform to automatically match the Client_ID in the main form? I can only assume that these solutions require the parent/child relationship to already have been established.

I'm trying to create a capacity report for my database. Originally, I only had the one table, which summed the number of Packs and number of Images, worked out percentage capacity used and then put it in a report, showing for each week of the year. However since then, I've added a child table to this, allowing me to create subrecords. The reason we did this was so we could easily group together multiple mailings under one single master record, so to speak.
Going back to the capacity, I've managed to work it so the Pack capacity is worked out from the mailing quantity in the subrecord. However, the number of Images is only entered onto the Parent record. Now my capacity query is summing the same number of images as there are subrecords, where in reality I only want it to sum the Images in the main record. I know I could add an Images field to the child table and work it out the same way, but I'd rather not do that (because that's not how our business works).
So essentially the question is, how can I sum the Images from the parent table without repeating the sum and massively overexagerating the sum?
