Modules & VBA :: Update Record Based On Related Records Completed
Dec 4, 2014
I have 2 tables, one is like a main table, containing all of the main data, such as a Job Number, Customer, Quantity, etc. I have a second, related, table that acts a breakdown of information. There may be several related records to one main record, it entirely depends on the nature of the job.
What I'd like to do is run a function that looks at a main record, checks if all the related records COMPLETED field is ticked and then tick a field in the main record. I only want it to do this for records where all of the related records are COMPLETED.
I have a table called tblCompanies. When a company acquires another company, I need a method by which the acquired company's CompanyID (PK) can be updated to the new company's CompanyID (PK). I also need to be able to update all related CompanyIDs (FKs) to the new value in related tables.
In cases in which the new company does not have an existing record, there is no problem: the company name simply gets changed to the new company and the existing CompanyID is maintained. I then use an audit table and Track Changes function to keep track of the company name data and a union query to keep the old names in the selection lists.
The problem is when both companies already have existing records in the table.
So, let's say I have records for Company A and Company B. Company A merges with Company B and Company B is now the main record. What is the best, simplest and easiest way to update the CompanyID (PK) from A to B and change the CompanyID (FK) to the new value in all related tables?
I am envisioning a pop-up form that directs the user to select the new company and then an update query happens behind the scenes... but exactly how does the criteria for the update query get selected and how do all the related tables get updated? My vba skills are pretty basic, will I need extensive coding to do something like this?
In my database I have a table that keeps track of a package of items. The package is assigned a package type (counter display, end cap, half pallet, full pallet for example). The record of the association of the package and it's type is held in the main table.
Each of these package types is either a case or a pallet (counter display and end cap are cases and half and full pallets are pallets) This relationship is kept in another table (we will call it description table).
Now, based on the type of package and therefore it being a case or pallet a UPC and a GTIN number are assigned. The GTIN number is different if it is a case or is a pallet. I have a table that stores all of the UPC and GTIN numbers available in 3 columns, one for UPC, one for GTIN Case and one for GTIN Pallet (the UPC is a standard 12 digit and the GTINs are 14 digit -with the first 2 different to designate pallet or case. and all are based on the check digit formula necessary)
The user assigns the UPC and correct GTIN number by clicking a button which applies the next available UPC code to the package and determines if the description of the type (case or pallet) and inserts correct GTIN number into that field. I actually have all of this functioning correctly.
Now the problem. If a user changes the package type, and therefore changes the description, I need to add code to the update event of the combo box that gives the choices for package type that does the following:
Check to see if the original package type was a case or pallet (it's description) and if by changing the package type it is now changed to the other, update the record in the main table to the correct GTIN number based on the existing UPC Code.
OR as I write this, maybe the code could simply update the main table with the correct GTIN code based on the new description and the existing UPC code. This was I would not need to check for a change just do the update every time.
I have database with an userform called AssignWP, combobox called WPDevBy, listbox called List352 (Multi select) and table called Justified.I am trying to update one field WPDevelopedBy of the table as combobox value based on list box multi selected records.
I have two tables, one is of departments, and one is of people (with a FK denoting what department this person is in). Now consider the fact that there are duplicates in the departments table, and I would like to remove these duplicates. However, the duplicates have related records (in the people table). So, before removing the duplicates, I must update the FKs in the table of people (this is the step I'm having trouble with).
Here's an example:
As you can see, the "Sales" department is there twice. And both have a related record. What I want to do is: Update all DepartmentIDs (in tblPeople) to not point to duplicate records. In this example, that would be PersonID 2; Joe. His DepartmentID should update to "1" (as both "1" and "2" are "Sales").Delete the duplicates in tblDepartments (in this case, DepartmentID 2, "Sales").
The second step is no problem, it is only the first I am struggling with.
Also, the example posted here is just an example, the data I actually need to do this for is significantly more complex and there are many more records! In the attached database:
qry1: Simple query to find all duplicates (just used the query wizard) qry2: Just the first row of each duplicated departments (duplicates that shouldn't be deleted). In the example above, this would be the "2", "Sales" row in the tblDepartments table. qry3: Basically all qry1 rows that don't appear in qry2 qry4: All qry3 values, and their respective qry2 value.
This is what each of the (soon to be deleted) duplicate values' related records' DepartmentID should be updated to... There's no simpler way to phrase that, so using the example above, qry4 would return "2","1". This indicates that all people with a DepartmentID of "2" should be changed to "1" (so we can subsequently erase the department with the ID of 2.
This is as far as I have gotten. My next step is: Update all FKs in tblPeople based on qry4 (You can't set an update query's criteria to pull from another query, nor can you use the second query for the update value... or maybe you can, but I don't know about it).
I have a table with a multi-select listbox as one of the fields. I want to loop through the recordset (table) and changes the listbox selections for each record.
To go into a little more detail, the table (tblEmail) has a field (Label) that is a multi-select listbox. The listbox pulls from another table (tblLabel). I want to loop through records in tblEmail and edit/change the Label(s) for each email though VBA.
I've tried doing something like this:
Code: With rst .MoveFirst Do Until rst.EOF .Edit !Label.Selected(0) = True .Update Loop End With
However I get an error that says "Run-Time Error '438' Object doesn't support this property or method" ...
I have a form with lots of combo boxes and text boxes. They are all linked to various MS Access tables and some of the fields are mandatory. I would like do an check to see if all the mandatory fields are not null i.e. are populated with a value and then run an update query for my master table in the database to flag the records as being complete if all the mandatory fields are populated.
If (IsEmpty(tab1.cmb_a)) Then do something
But I am just blank at the moment on how to proceed, especially on how I can do all the checks and then populate the database.
Many sessions can have many employees - thus the joining table has been included.
When trying to delete an employee from the database using a form, I encounter the error:
The record cannot be deleted or changed because table 'tblEmployeeSessions' includes related records
Is there a problem with my table relationship structure? Or is it 'correct' that as the employee is supervising a session he/she cannot be deleted as this would interfere and maybe mess up the session record?
Is it possible to have the control tip show related records from another table?
I've been looking around the internet, and I've seen many examples for showing concatenated fields on current record, but had no luck with what I'm trying to do.
For example.
I have a continuous form, and on it shows top line data. Where a record in this form shows as "Split" it means I have more data related to this record on another table.
Is it possible to show however many fields are related to this record, when I control tip, or mouseover?
I've been playing with
Code: Me.textbox.ControlTipText = Me.textbox
but was wondering, if this is possible, how I'd reference the other table,
If said column of continuous form is "split"... lookup related table by ID number show however many columns of data..
I was creating a program using ms access. consist of 2 table of database called employee and userlevel.. in employee table have ID, name, username, password,userlevel, and others related employee profile.. and in userlevel table, it consist of admin level and normal user level.. Userlevel table allow to differenciate admin and normal user(employee) .. in my program each employee having their own loginID and pass to access their own data.. the problem with my program now is displaying the data that belong to the logged in employee. its mean that it only show the data that owned by currently user that logged in..
I am currently working on an Access Database that houses our security clearance information. Most of the system is up and running but the most recent form has got me spinning my wheels. I have a Word User Form that users will download and complete, once completed the macros will automatically send us the document to be added to our database. Most of this is working the problem is that this portion of the database has multiple related tables and at any given time a user may require multiple records in the related tables. I have created the code to copy most of the information but am getting stuck adding a new record on the sub-form when multiple items are required. Here is a breakdown of the scenario
Word Doc Table 1 = Basic Organization Info Word Doc Table 2+ = Sites to Visit (There could be more than 1 table added here) Word Doc Table 3+ = People to go on site (this might not be the third table based on user interaction for sites)
So far I can get Table 1 and Table 2 data but if there are more than 1 site I cant seem to get the system to create a new record on the related table it is creating a new record on the main form. Here are the lines I used to try to create the related record..
When I put just the above code on a button it seems to have worked as the sub-form showed an additional record was created but when using this on my macro the sub-form is not taking the focus for some reason.
OK, your gonna have to bare with me a little bit as its hard to explain and if any VB is given please add a few annotations as I have to explain everything i do in a report (doest have to be too detailed, just to make the code understandable :) ) and if it needs better clarification feel free to ask :), but basically, I have the following relationship set up:
At the moment, because of the way it is set up, I cannot create a record in the transactions table unless an income record is given for it (because tb_income (one) to tbl_transactions (many)) but the way I want to work is as follows:
If you have a look at the tables tbl_transactions and tbl_income and their link. The way I want the system to work is when a new transaction is made, a new income record in the "tbl_income" table would be made with the date (in tbl_income) being the date at that particular time and all transactions created on the same date would all go in the subdatasheet for that one record created for that date; and if another transaction is made on an alternate date (say 00:00am of the next day) another income record would be created automatically with the date being of that particular day etc.
My other problem im facing is that everytime there is a transaction created, I want the stock level(s) field of products in that particular transaction to be decreased by the quantity purchased of that product but i have no idea how to do so
I need a way to dynamically store a particular value in "field_2" of the CURRENT record depending on whether or not the value of "field_1" of the CURRENT record is identical to the value of "field_1" of the PREVIOUS record within the same table. The table is sorted on "field_1".
So, if the value of "field_1" in the CURRENT record is "ABC" and the value of "field_1" in the PREVIOUS record is also "ABC", then store a value of "PPP" in "field_2" of the current record. IF on the other hand, the value of "field_1" in the CURRENT record is "ABC" and the value of "field_1" in the PREVIOUS record is "XYZ", then store a value of "WWW" in "field_2" of the current record.
I have a report that will use these results to count only the number of records that have a "WWW" in "field_2".
Is this doable, maybe in a query somehow?
I should add that whatever the solution, it needs to be compatible with Access 2000.
I have some code that checks if a file exists, its file size, creation date and date modified. The code works fine..however..
I need to import the file it is checking and that file can sometimes take up to 30 minutes to complete its posting. In fact I used the code to check it the other day and the code showed that it exists, its creation/modifed date and also its file size - however, the file size was what it was at that moment I ran the code. If I immediately re-run the code, the file size changes - obviously due to the fact that the file is still posting (and growing due to the date being posted to it). Also note that the (completed) file size will vary each day the file is posted
So, what I would like to know is, is their a way to check to see if a file has completed posting? Something akin to .filecreated like .filecompleted (yes or no) type thing?
Here is the code:
Public Sub sub_chk_files2() Dim obj_fs As Object Dim obj_folder As Object Dim obj_files As Object Dim obj_f1 As Object Dim db As DAO.Database
I'm building a report for annual software license renewals. The report data source is a query that combines the customer information, their computer information, and the licenses purchased for that computer. I am having no trouble with the form displaying the customer info page, then a page with the computer info at the top and a list of licenses purchased for that computer underneath.
That would be great, if that's what my boss wanted. However, she wants the whole list of available licenses displayed on each page, in the event someone want to purchase additional licenses with this year's renewal.
I'm trying to figure out how I can set up a query/report grouping to do that. I've tried making a new query, relating the qryLicense!licenseID to the qryPurchase!purchLicense and setting the relationship option to show all records from qryLicense and only those related from qryPurchase. I added the qryPurchase!purchCPU field to my query, hidden it, and set the criteria to “=1” (the computer ID of one of my dummy computer records). I also have a Sum of the qryPurchase!purchQty field included in the new query that I want to display the total number of that particular license purchased (and 0 if there are no corresponding records). All fields except for the quantity field are set to Group By.
What I’m getting from this is simply a list of the licenses purchased for that computer, not the complete list of licenses available showing the quantity purchased where applicable.
how to Add/Update record including existence of record based on single unique field.Now I trying to learn how to check existence of record on multiple field before adding (at least two) and how to update the record with multiple field record
Below is my testing table fields
Year Month Working Days 2013 Jan 20 2013 Feb 17 2013 Mar 22
Now two situations adding a new record and updating the existing record Which means the unique fields are (Year + Month)
I have this scenerio that I am trying to work through and find a proper solution:
Main table stores a part # and an index (Primary Key) along with a bunch of other data. I want to store with the part # the current active version of firmware (aka software) associated with that particular part# / index. Part # may be a duplicate, so for this reason the PK is the index, so that each index / part # will have which firmware has been used with it.
I would like the ability to retain a history of firmware versions used for a particular part # / index so that if we need to go back to a previous version of software we will know which ones have been used.
I have been able to create the relationship to show all previous versions of the firmware used for a particular part # / index, but cannot figure out how to only have one 'current' and update the others as 'archived'. I would like to either use a boolean or selectable lookup (ie Current vs. Archived). What I want is that when I select one firmware to be ‘current’ all others related to the particular part # / index are updated to ‘archived’ leaving the other records not related to that part # / index alone. Also note that I am trying to make the update of the firmware status in the table view without having to go through a form.
Main Table ID (PK) Part No Product
Firmware History FirmwareVerIndex (PK) PartNo Firmware ChangeDate ChangeName FirmwareStatus
Dim dbs As DAO.Database, sql As String, rCount As Integer Set dbs = CurrentDb sql = "DELETE * dbo_InvPrice Inner Join (dbo_InvPrice Inner Join UpdatedPricing on dbo_InvPrice.StockCode = UpdatedPricing.StockCode ) ON on dbo_INvPrice.PriceCode = UpdatedPricing.PriceCode " dbs.Execute sql, dbFailOnError
i want to be able to create an On Click Event when pushing a command button that will run an Update query to update a record and after it has been updated that specific record will pop up on a Form and be displayed. i know a different way is to run the Update query and then have it displayed in a Select query but i want it to be displayed on a Form instead. is it possible?
I have a field called uniqueID which I would like to update based on 2 other fields that are already populated in my recordset (from running previous queries). I heard it is not possible to do an Update Select like shown below.
select max(uniqueID) from myTable where a = "value of field a from first record in record set" and b = "value of field b from first record in record set"
If it is true that I cannot do an Update Select then I am trying to do something in VBA. How can I Loop each row in the record set and store the values from fields a and b. I would obviously then need to pass those values into the sql above and store the result in a variable. I would then do a straight update to put the value of uniqueID into myTable.
My problem is that I am trying to update a field (called 'Sold' which is a yes/no checkbox column) for a specific record whenever an event is triggered. I have two forms (derived from two tables), one is called frmInventory and the other is called frmSales. In frmSales, I made a combo box called 'cboItemID' that allows the user to select from a list of items from my inventory table. Each selection from the list has 4 properties, the first of which is the 'Item ID' from the inventory table. Lastly, I have a field in both frmSales and frmInventory called 'Sold' as mentioned above. What I want to do is that whenever I check/uncheck the box in the 'Sold' field in frmSales, I want the 'Sold' field in frmInventory to check/uncheck as well, but only in the record with an 'Item ID' that matches the 'Item ID' from the combo box selection. In other words, I want to match the 'Sold' field in frmInventory with the 'Sold' field in frmSales, but for only the record that has the same 'Item ID' primary key as the one I picked from my selection in the combo box from frmSales.
how to reference another table and check whether or not it's 'Item ID' primary key is identical to the one I specified from the combo box, and then take action to update the 'Sold' field if the IDs match.
looking to have the following code run only when I have a specific value present in one of my combo boxes: e.g. cbo.status = "Approved"
Code: Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) 'Provide the user with the option to save/undo 'changes made to the record in the form If MsgBox("Changes have been made to this record." _ & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & "Do you want to save these changes?" _ , vbYesNo, "Changes Made...") = vbYes Then DoCmd.Save Else DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdUndo End If End Sub
I have a combo named cbogroup. I have a tblGroup with several records (active, non-active, nursery, etc.). One of the records is *ALL*. Using the CboGroup the user can pick any of the records. Howeverr, if they pick the *ALL* record, I want the query to pull up animalID based on all records in the TblGroup. If another record is picked (i.e. nursery), then the query will pull up only animalIDs that are in the 'Nursery'.Can I put a (iff then) in a query in order to differentiate a query based on all group records or a query based on only one record?
I have a form named CustomerForm.I have a query named CustomerQ. On my form I have a combo box named combo6.Combo 6 lists all of the company names from my customer table and includes the autokey field which is hidden.When I click on a value in my combo6 I want the values on my form to then be based on the value from combo6 whereas at the moment I select a value in combo6 and nothing happens other than combo6 now displays a different value. how to refresh/ repopulate the data based on combo6 without having to create more forms and queries.
