Newbie Duplicates Question

Mar 24, 2007

Hi

I have a Customer table with a number of fields including ID (unique primary key), Name, Address and LabelCount (integer).

What I want to do is produce a mailing list report/query which will print out the number of address labels (taken from the field LabelCount) for each record in Customer.

So, for example

1, John Smith, 2 Long Drive, 5
2, James Jones, 4 Some St, 2
3, Billy Bob, 8 High St, 0

The report will print out 5 address labels for John Smith, 2 for James Jones and none for Billy Bob.

Thank you all for any help you can give.

NEWBIE HERE...Two Tables.. Want To Delete Duplicates Between Them

Apr 3, 2006

I think this is an easy one...

I have two tables - one is a Master. I want to delete the records in the Master if they are in the second table. Here's my SQL and I can't get it to work:

DELETE from TestMaster
INNER JOIN on JoinedDupList
ON TestMaster.ID=JoinedDupList.ID
WHERE JoinedDupList.ID = TestMaster.ID

I'm being told I need to define the table to delete from... I thought I defined it.

Thanks!

Access 97 - Query Help - Newbie - Removing Duplicates

Jan 25, 2007

Hi,

just finding my way in Access 97 with no real support. I have made a query that creates duplicate records when I only need to see one for a certain criteria (lets say criteria X). This is due to the data feed involved in making the query where criteria X is found in numerous records.

What I want to display is only one record per entry containing an exact match for criteria X.

Finding it hard to articulate this but I would need something that defines:

If criteria X is the same, just display one record.

Hope this is somehow clear as I am struggling a bit. Would be gratefull of some help.

Thanks

Find Duplicates Different Than Duplicates Deleted

Dec 8, 2005

Hey, all! Thanks for helping, here is my situation.

I have a table with about 70,000 records that have duplicate Address field values. The rest of the field values for those records are different. When I do a find duplicate querry I get the result that 17,000 records have the same address. However, when I do the append qurrey as instructed here: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=209183 I get a total of only 600 records in the new table. I have tried deleting all of the indexes for both the new and old table, with no luck.

I'm using Access 2000 on XP Pro.

If anyone could help with this I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks

Will

Changing From Duplicates OK To No Duplicates

Nov 1, 2014

I have an Access table with an indexed key that is currently set to duplicates OK. There are not supposed to be any duplicates in that field. But it is possible than a small number have crept through.

Two questions:

1. What would happen to those duplicate records if I changed the setting from duplicates OK to no duplicates?

2. Is there any way to ferret out those duplicate records first and change them manually? The table currently has 48000 records so it would be a pain to go through them page by page. (I know how to export them to Excel, where the dups can easily be found; I was just wondering if something could do it within Access.)

Help The Newbie!

Jun 24, 2005

Great forum!! Hope I someone on here can help me!

Here's the situation. I have a Database in Excel (~3000 rows & 7 Columns)

The first Column has numbers like this (3-10-34 or 223-7-45) the other columns have names, addresses and other stuff.

What I'm trying to do is to eliminate the use of huge binders. I want to have a Blank screen with only one input box where I can type a number and retrieve a specific row from my Database. Time saving.

Now, when I'm searching, I usually only have the first numbers before the dash (such as the 3 or the 223) not the other numbers. So I cannot input 3-10-34 for instance. I can only put 3...:confused:

I've already imported it to Access and it works fine but have no idea how to do what I just described!

Thanks for the input!!

A very very green access user! :o

Newbie Looking For A Bit Of Help.

Feb 8, 2007

Alright here is what I am trying to accomplish. I have A, and B. Then I have 6 different tables that relate to the six different things B could be and contain all sorts of other information.

What I want is to make a form that lets you type in A, and B. Then the correct table/form for the respective B will pop in to the subform area. Then as soon as you select or type in a new A and B, the subform will change, or stay the same if the B has not changed, but a new record will have started.

"A" is just an ID... something like AA001, AA002, etc.
"B" is the stage each ID is at... like beginning, middle, end, etc.

Sorry if it is a bit confusing, I am willing to explain any details that could help. I consider myself a somewhat advanced Access user, but this just stumps me for some reason.

Hello all,

Im looking to create a frontend and backend for a Dojo (Martial arts center).
Basically, it will log in people(record their training time, by day not hour) either by Number or name.
Secondly, I want to be able to have all these fields seen by the admin:
Dojo Number
Date Joined
Last Name
First Name
Male/Female
Address
City
Zip
Home Phone
Work Phone
E-mail
Birthday
Occupation
Adult/teen/child
Rank
Active/ Inactive status
Martial Art Exp.
Staff Y/N
ASNJ Dues Info
USAF Dues Info
USAF Membership Number
Misc. Notes

So the backend/ admin would be able to update this field and keep records up to date.

There would be around 800 entries/people, and only one admin accessing the db at any time. The frontend would be used to log in..

Hi,

Can some kind soul help with pointing me in the right direction to a problem below?

In my database (property database), I have some old properties which are now sold. There are relationships between property, rent received, billing, lessees, etc. I want to be able to keep the details of the 'sold' properties.(i.e., who owned it, what they paid in the past, when they paid etc. in case I need it, but don't want it shown any longer on the main working database). I want to be able to delete the properties that are sold from the main table. Any ideas how I go about this? Hope I've explained myself ok.

Thanks

I have recently created a database which exports a daily report in Excel. The problem I am having is that the reports are sent out in Excel 95 which cannot be opened by Blackberry. We used to create this report from an excel database and send it out but it went out in excel 97 format which was readable. As a complete "Access" novice I am at a loss on how to cure this problem short of copying the excel 95 report which we create automatically and cutting and pasting into excel 97.
Over to the experts.

Feb 13, 2008

Hi All,
great forum here, loads of help and really busy :D

im very new to acces and have never used it before, however i have been using excel and VB for a while.

Ive been given a large table with about 5 fields in it and 40k + lines of data (!)

I need to write some kind of program/query, where i can input some txt and it will then lookup all the data that relates to that input txt.

Eg.
Car Tom Red
Car Tom Blue
Bus Dave Red
Bike Tom Pink

If i did a seach on "Tom" it would then give me the 1st, 2nd and 4th lines (all the info in that whole line)

If i did a search on "Red" it would give me the 1st and 3rd lines?

Im sure this is very simple, so any help would be great :)

Also, really sorry if this is in the wrong location, please move if so!

Newbie Really Needs Help

Oct 6, 2005

Hi, I have used access in the past but very little. I need help setting up a table that I can make relationships to another table. Here's what I need.

I need a table(s) that I can log samples of medications into. It needs to have a drug name, dose, lot #, expiration date, and #of samples. As we get samples, these will be logged into here via a form made from the table (I've already done this exactly as stated). I will need to be able to get a total from the number of a certain dose of medication i.e. amoxicillin 500mg (all of the lot numbers added together).

Now, another table(s) needs to have samples signed out. It needs to include pt. name (first and last), date, drug, dose, lot #, exp. date, #of samples, ordering practitioner, and clinic. What I want to happen is when I sign out the Amox 500mg #30 with a specific lot #, it will remove the number from that specific lot # in the inventory table and reduce the number of Amox 500 total (all lot #s).

Does this sound too complicated. I tried to set up one table for the sign out process, but suspect it's too many variables. The primary key I was thinking would be the lot # but i need to be able to use it more than once if I get 100 samples and only use 30 at a time.

Would someone be willing to offer some advice!!!?? Thanks, Robin.

Please Help A Newbie Out:

Dec 6, 2005

Hello everyone:

I've created a simple access database for my deparment, that I want other departments to be able to query data from. I don't want them to have to open the entire database each time they pull data, because I'm afraid they'd become confused by the program.

The company seems much more comfortable with excel files, and I've been trying to use an Excel-based query to display selected information. The problem is this: Nobody can update their excel queries, because only my department has full access to the .mdb file that the data is stored in. Everyone else has read-only access to the file and the folder it's located in, so they are unable to run an update.

Is there a good workaround for this? I feel like I'm overlooking something incredibly simple.

Ideally, I'd like to create an .xls file with the necessary queries in it, and then just email that file around, allowing other users to just save the file to their desktop and open it/update it when they need to check on something. Other methods of accomplishing the same thing are welcome too, but that's what I'm going for right now.

Thanks!

I need help. Now I've written a post so that some one could help retrieve current information and they told me to use Dmax. Great but I don't know how to use Dmax. Basically I need step by step instructions.

This is an example of what my table looks like:

Date of Order --Product--- UNIT COST
20-May-05----- XYZM---- $8.87
20-Jun-05------ XYZM ----$9.39
21-Jul-05 ------XYZM -----$9.24
19-Mar-05----- ACE ------$7.85
20-May-05 ----ACE------- $7.89
20-Jun-05 ----ACE-------- $8.01
21-Jul-05 -----ACE------- $8.13
22-Jul-05------ACE ------$8.05

What I need is a report that will show me the last ordered price of the product.

Date of Order --Product-- UNIT COST
21-Jul-05------ XYZM ---$9.24
22-Jul-05 ------ACE ----$8.05

How do I get a query that will allow me to retrieve this information? I'm still in training and need step by step intructions. Please Help!!!!

Hi,

I am new to microsoft access. I am trying to develop a data base that will store data as well as return means and SEMs. I have multiple parameters entered into an access table. The fields are Group Number, MAP, AP, and KV. I have a query to return the averages for each group, but i am having trouble making a query to return the SEM. the formula for SEM is

SEM = Standard Deviation / (Count ^ (1/2))

This should be easy because access will return Stdev and Count, but when I try and enter the formula into expression builder, all hell breaks loose. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
DH:confused:

Newbie Help......

Aug 30, 2005

Good Afternoon,

I am having a little trouble creating a database. I am using Access 97 if that helps.

I have created two tables the first table is a list of brokers (Brokers) with the following columns: - User Name, Contact Name and Broker Name. The second table (Main) is where I would like to store all of my records for each call recieved.

What I would like to be able to do is on the main form is to have a combo box for the user Name and then to have two other text boxes to auto populate the Contact name and the Broker Name once the User Name has been entered. Then all 3 fields will store the information in the Main table. Hopefully this all makes sense. I have been trying to use the help within Access but to no avail!.

Any help or assistance would be great.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi

I am trying to create an access database so that eventually i can get people to enter data in form view so it is easier.

Here is what i am trying to acheive, but after trying several different things have completely confused myself!

I need to collect serial numbers from 2 pieces of equipment on each counter (between 1 and 20 counters per store) in about 300 different stores.

I have all the store data (branch number and name and how many counters in each).

I would like to eventually have a form where person inputs branch number, it then displays the name and only the fields for the serial numbers for how many there are in that store.

For example

If store 1234 is called London and has 10 counters, i want them to input the branch number, London then comes up automatically. And it will only let you input 20 serial numbers (2 per counter).

Any help would be extremely grateful!!!!!!!!!

Thanks
