Need Help With Linking A Query!

Nov 28, 2005

Hello all,

I am having trouble creating a query, here is the query i am having issues with

SELECT a.app_num, Max(b.app) AS Highest, a.prod_code
FROM table1 AS a LEFT JOIN table2 AS b ON a.prod_code = b.GSN
GROUP BY a.app_num, a.prod_code;

Now the query above works fine with out the "a.prod_code" as a column, as you can see i want the maximum value in b.app that relates to a.app_num, what i need to then do is select the b.prod_code the relates to the Max(b.app).

Sorry if this is not clear, please let me know and i will try to elaborate.

Many thanks
Tim

Linking To A Query?

May 18, 2005

Can I use a query in Database A as a look-up table in Database B.

When I try File / Get External Data / Link Tables (in Database B), it only gives me a choice of Tables from Database A. Do I need to generate beforehand a physical Table using a MakeTable Query?

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Table Linking Query

Apr 1, 2008

Hi there,

The aim of this (as part of a bigger solution) is to create an entry system where users can enter jobs in, assign a resource to the job and give the resource a cost. The conditions are that resources can be on more than 1 job, more than 1 resource can be on a job.

Obviously entering in resources manually is not a good solutioon (eg having 20 resource fields) as it is now. I want to create a relation between tables to achieve something better.

Let's say I had (for illustration sake) 2 tables, one which is a list of people and one which is a list of jobs. I want to be able to assign a person to a job for x amount of time (defined by a start date and end date in the job table) at cost y.

So we could have a field for the people table which would relate to the job id and a field for rate in the job db. However, people can be on more than 1 job (eg after doing one they do another) and there can be multiple people on a job (having one field for rate rendering it useless)

How can this be done in the most efficient way so that any job could be looked at historically and have the relevant rates etc? Would I have to create another table with rates relating to the job ID and person ID? This would allow for multiple resources per job and to have a rate assigned for each resource.

eg if person ID = 1 and job id = 1 then fetch rate etc and display in a list, and to calculate total cost simply sum all rates where job id = 1?

Thanks

Table Not Linking To Query

Sep 25, 2007

I am pretty new to creating relationships between tables. I have a main form with subforms embedded. I tried running queries from the main form and they run just fine. I also run from the tables linked to the subforms just fine. however, when I try to run a query for a report that takes data from the main form and joins with data from the tables linked to the subforms all the data cells are blank. I have a linking table which is also blank. All the forms are linked by the same program ID number. Any ideas on how to resolve this? Thanks

WHERE tbl2.aID = parentform.[aID]

Now, the question is about the WHERE clause... how do I link to the parentform?

Linking Fields Between A Query And Table?

Sep 12, 2014

In query design view, I have added a query with column (nameA) of names and a table with a column (nameB) of names. I am linking these two fields (nameA and nameB) which contain names. The names are spelled exactly the same so I should get results. Both fields are of the same data type.

But even when I add only the field with names from the query (the field called nameA), I don't get any results.

What is wrong here? Are there restrictions about linking a query to a table?

Queries :: Linking Option Buttons To Query Criteria?

Apr 15, 2014

I have a query that has 2 fields of currency labour rates (current rate and baseline rate), but sometimes there are some blanks in either of the fields and is causing my text field which has a Sum formula (Rates x Hours) to #ERROR and throws out my other calcs. The only way to find out which blank line items are throwing my query numbers out is to manually type in "Is Null" in the criteria.

However, I would like to keep this process fully automated so I tried to create 2 lots of option buttons for my form, one for each of the 2 fields of currency labour rates and after I click on either option button and then run my query it will show all the lines that have blanks. I was able to link 2 text boxes to the option buttons (Select Case - Case 1 - Me.txtBox1.Value = "Is Null") and then link the text boxes to the criteria field using [Forms]![frm_labour]![txtBox1]. However, none of this seems to be driving my criteria in my query.

Database Size Limited To 2GB / Query Multiple Database Without Linking Tables?

Sep 7, 2011

I'm trying to set up a simple query that links four tables. However, the tables are extremely large, all in excess of 1.5GB each so I had to split the tables up into four separate DBs. I've tried the following with no success:

1) Link the 4 tables in the DB which contains my primary key. This quickly inflates increases the file size above 2GB and won't let me go any further.

2) Build a remote query to connect the four tables. This looked promising until I tried to run the query and it became evident that it only knows to point to the last database source that you specified.

I'm running everything locally on my C drive. The data source are simple text files (1.6 million rows) from the FDA website.

Linking A Non Updatable Query To An Updatable Table

Jan 17, 2006

I have a query which performs a calculation calculating totals of many fields linked by BikeID This is not updatable due to the calculated field. Now i want to join this query to the BikeDetails table to create a form. So this means that i would have all the data from the table which i can update and the calculated field which i cant. But when i join the two tables/query all the data becomes non updatable.

Thanks

Linking Help!

Jul 17, 2007

hello,
I've got a back-end/front-end Access database. The front end sits on a user's desktop. There's one table she needs to update, but cannot because it's not linked. It's table called Login that contains passwords/users names. The table did not exist in the front-end. I would like to copy it from the back-end to the front-end and link it, but when I try to do that, I don't see it in the list of tables. I do this rarely. How does this work exactly?

thanks-

Linking Tables In Two DB's

May 19, 2005

Question for someone..... I was looking at the "LinkTables" in Access..... I see that I can link one database to another..... When I do this I can add the table to my relationship window... I have not played with this too much.. But looks interesting. Now, all the info I might add to this linked table is stored in the other database??? If this linked table is also linked to other tables in the other DB can I use those in queries? Not much covered (that I can find) in the Access help files on this sort of thing.
Thanks

Linking To Another Database

Dec 1, 2005

I use a packaged software program at the dealership I work at. In the past I have been able to pull queries and information out of the database and into Excel. The query builder pulls the data as read-only and thus no fear of changing the main database. I have developed an access database for doing commissions. I want to be able to link my database with the companies database as read-only. This would save typing a lot of the duplicate information (ie customer name, date etc.). I have been able to successfully link the 2 databases but realized quickly that anything I change in msaccess will change on the main database. I don't want to corrupt the main database and really only want to pull the information for viewing. Any comments or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Rob

Linking Information

Feb 8, 2007

I am having a hard time linking some certain information. I think I have my relationships formatted correctly but not all the information is connecting.

For example: I have a form where I am creating a sales quote. In the form I have a combo box where I select my product ID. When I select the product ID, the product name automatically populates but the price does not.

I have attached a screenshot of my relationships. Can someone please look it over and see if anything stands out to you as being incorrectly formatted? Or offer any advise in getting my price to connect to the product ID I enter?
