Mysterious Table Data Changing

Nov 10, 2005

I have a table that contains all of our company pricing for services. You can see a screen shot of the table here:

http://www.x-raysband.com/table1.jpg

All of this data is locked and cannot be changed by the user. However, the seasons keep getting mixed up. What I mean by this is that suddenly there will be a record missing from one of the seasons and there is a duplicate record in one of the other seasons. See the spot-shadowed fields here:

http://www.x-raysband.com/table2.jpg

Off season and Spring are now missing entries for CDJ, INC but the records that belong in those places are now showing as duplicate entries in Prime and Regular. Simply put, the season name somehow got changed within the record, but there is nothing in the system that allows a user to do that.

This has been happening ever since I added the pricing feature to the DB and I am completely stumped. Our work DB has the tables stored in a SQL server back end.

If anyone can shed some light on why this might be happening, any help would be appreciated.

Changing Data In Query Results Changes Data In Source Table

Dec 17, 2012

I have a table and a simple query that pulls results from the table. Nothing too crazy. But, if I were to go in and change some of the data/values in the query results it will change the respective data in the table. I know that this cannot be right. What do I have to do to either prevent the ability to change query results and/or prevent any changes in the query from altering the original data in the table.

Mysterious Run-time Error

Jan 10, 2006

I have a simple note section on my form (data type set to memo). This is where my staff enters any notes when they speak to a student. For some reason, on a handful of records (3-5 of 3,000 records) a run-time error occurs when the user attempts to edit or add anything to the notes.

Does anyone have any ideas on why this is happening? :confused:

Changing Table Data Via Forms

Mar 7, 2006

Hello everyone, and thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

I am currently working on a large project to track, issue out, and re supply an operational stock of various tools and parts we use in our shop on a normal basis. This program is in it's beginning steps at the moment, and already I need some help.

If anyone has any tips on how I can change the raw numerical data in my table, via a textbox and a command button on a form, I would be greatful. I am trying to avoid allowing users to directly modify table data. Although this method is what I am aiming for, I will gladly accept any suggestions. Thanks

Changing Table Data Using Form

Sep 8, 2004

My scenario is that a user enters how many parts of 'Part No.' are going in or out of Inventory. I also would like fields automatically entered on other tables based on the data the user enters. All I need is some understanding of how to code something like this or a pointing in the direction of a resource that can tell me how to code this VBA stuff and the syntax required.
Hopefully you get what I mean.

Thanks.

Changing Data-type In Table?

Sep 27, 2011

My database consists of one large table of approx 3.9m rows and about 12 different columns. One of my columns is of a data type "date/time" but i need the format of this column to be "text"

The problem is that when I right click the table/go to design view/ and try to change the data type, I get the error "Microsoft Access can't change the data type. There isn't enough disk space or memory."

Which means i can't take the easy way out. Is there a way I can just create a new identical table and change the data type of my one column? I was thinking there might be something in SQL I could do, or some how in creating an identical table where only the field type has changed. I should note, I looked up this using the access in file, and it appears the ALTER TABLE SQL will not work on my machine.

the dataset was created from a txt file which as been lost to the ether, and I can't import the database into excel using a macro I didn't write unless the format of my column is text.

Update A Table When Changing Data In Another Table

Dec 2, 2013

I have a training Database in Access 2010 that I am creating. I have "courseindex" which is the table that has course titles and the course required frequency. I also have "trainingcompleted" which is the table that contains all training my employees have completed. The form "training" contains employee data and all training each employee has completed.

On the form "training", the training completed is selected from a combo box, which is pulled from the table "courseindex". When I update the combo box, I would like the training frequency field that corresponds to the selected training to auto fill in my "trainingcompleted" table.

Once completed I should be able to generate a report, where the user enters a date range and it will tell me who is due for training within that time frame. I have the forms, tables, and reports set up. I can enter the next due data in manually each time I update a record, but I would rather that data be updated automatically, since the frequency for each training will never change. I have over forty courses that employees must take. Some courses are required annually, some bi-annually, some every five years, etc...

Changing Data Source (table) For A Query

Jul 18, 2006

Hi,

I have two Tables TA and TB. I have a set of queries based on TA. I want to substitute TB for TA (i.e. TB will stand in place of TA). I want the old TA queries remain unchanged but now be based on TB.

If I delete TA and then rename TB into TA, I will lose the queries. Therefore I want to 'point' the queries (in the most efficient way) to TB instead of to TA.

Then I can delete TA. Then I can rename TB into TA and the queries will follow along, I expect.

I have been trying in vain to find a way of pointing the queries to TA instead of TB? How do I do it?

I have done it with Forms (Design Views, Properties), where I can select a datasource. But where is the corresponding thing enabling me to select a datasource for Queries?

Thanks.

Adrian

Forms :: Form Is Changing Table Data

Aug 29, 2013

I have a form that allows users to click on an item in a listbox and it brings them to the selected record in another form. However, everytime I close the form and open it, it changes the client name in the list to the client ID.

List is set up like this

Client ID | Client Name| Order Date
1 Mike 2013-08-04
2 Jon 2013-08-15
3 Mark 2013-08-17
ETC...

Turns into this on close - Changes the client name to the ID of the last item selected before close

Client ID | Client Name| Order Date
1 Mike 2013-08-04
2 3 2013-08-15
3 Mark 2013-08-17
ETC...

Select statement is:
SELECT Client.[Client ID], Client.Client, Client.orderDate FROM Client ORDER BY Client.orderDate;

Code is:
Option Compare Database
Private Sub Command22_Click()
'opens the form with my subform that holds the table data
On Error GoTo Err_Command22_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "Client1"

[code]...

Stop Access From Changing Format / Value Of Data Entered From A Form Into A Table

Oct 7, 2012

I have a database (split into front and backend). Users populate the table using a form on the front end. Recently, it has been pointed out that some of the data entered into one specific textbox is being changed on the table. The data entered is always has a minimum of a letter and number value i.e. "A1", "A2" etc. Upon examining the table, this has changed into numeric values i.e. "1291", "1061", "852"... etc. Looks like it is translating them into both 3 and 4 digit numerical values by the looks of things. Where more complex data is entered such as "2(A1, A2)" these seem unaffected.

The field is set to text, I have set no validation rule, format or input mask. Just can't see why access is changing these values. It seems to be translating them, but I can't see a pattern.

I have a field in a table that is comprised of mostly numerical data but some records are text.

I want to convert this field to numerical only and make a new field to put the textual data in.

However converting the field will delete the textual data. What is the easiest way to convert the field but save the textual data AND append the textual data to the SAME record that they were in originally in the new field?

MDB....underlying Changing Data Source

Dec 1, 2006

Hi!

I have an MDB file that points to a postgres database. What I'm trying to do is to redirect it to another datasource. The database is exactly the same, but I just need to point it to a different location. I tried doing this with linked table manager by refreshing the table and enabling the "always prompt for new location". I was able to point to my new location but what happened was my MDB became readonly, I am unable to edit anything after I changed the datasource.

Changing Data In A Field Using A Form

Dec 14, 2005

I have made attempts at this but none have worked, so I am looking for guidence.

What I creating is a database that I can track students and their community service hours.

I have made several versions but I figured the experts could point me in the right direction.

So far I created two tables:

tblStudents
STUDENT_NAME - Text
HOURS_GIVEN - Long Integer

tblHours
STUDENT_NAME - text Links to tblStudent
DATE_COMPLETED - Date
HOURS_COMPLETED - Long Integer

I created a form "frmStudent" with the following:

a drop box to chose a student name from "tblStudent"
a text box "txtSTUDENT_NAME"
another text box "txtHOURS_GIVEN"
another text box "HOURS_REMAINING"

Then I have a subform that has two text boxes "txtDATE_COMPLETED and "txtHOURS_COMPLETED"

I need a code that will enable me to chose a student from the combo box and then have that students name and hours given automatically enter into the respective text boxes in the main form. Then I would enter the date and hours completed into the respective text boxes of the subform, which in turn would update the fields in "tblHours" at the same time subtracting the new hours from the hours given and displaying the new total hours remaining in the respective in "txtHOURS_REMAINING" of the main form. Can anyone give me any help in coding that? Thanks in advance.

Changing Data From Columns To Rows

Jun 30, 2006

Hi all,

I have a query which runs off a table. I have the following Fields as columns in query: WeekID, A, B, C, D, E

For each week, the letters correlate points given. So for week 1, "A" could have 1 point, "B" could have 3 points, etc.

I want to run a Query that will show A, B, C, D, E as rows like the following:

Letter_Week 1_____Week 2_____Week 3
A_______1_________5___________3___
B_______3_________4___________2___
C_______2_________1___________7___
D_______6_________3___________3___
D_______3_________1___________4___

I can't run a crosstab because it will only crosstab values within all of A, B, etc.

Any idea guys? Thanks in advance, as always.

Mar 16, 2012

I've purchased & downloaded this Zip Code Database which has every Zip zcode in the U.S. which I use for different projects/reasons. The problem is, ALL of the data is upper case letters. I was wondering if in Access (or Excel) is there any way I could convert all of the letters (except the first letter) from upper case to lower case letters?

I am having difficulty with my Access database, when I run a particular query. The query is linked to a table in SQL Server, but I keep getting a "ODBC -Call Failed" error message.

Changing Case Of Data Already In Access Tables

Dec 8, 2006

My database is now live within our office and is working fine.

The databases which I have imported the data from, where done by my dad, who being old fashioned, used CAPS for everything he typed. So for quite alot of the data, its all caps, and it would be great, but not essential if we could revert the text to normal sentences.

Is there any trick or code that I could run that would go through certain tables and reformat the text in to a better format??

Changing Data Type... Memory Issues

Aug 5, 2005

I am trying to change a text field (that has been used to store Dates) into a date/time field so that I can sort it correctly
However, when I try and change the data type, It gets to about 90% on the progress bar then tells me that my system does not have enough memory available, and that an error has occured, data type not changed etc.

My system is fairly powerful, and I don't think that it is strictly the problem.


Any ideas??
