Newbie Help! Primary Key Not Carrying Through Tables
Aug 1, 2005
I have constructed a DB for work to record accidents, however I am running into problems. On each form I have a button that Saves the data closes the current form and opens the next form, depending on what data was entered. I have this ruuning fine using this code,
Private Sub SaveRecord_Click()
Dim NextForm As String
If Me.Status = "Pupil / Child" Then
NextForm = "StudentDetail"
Else
NextForm = "EmployerDetails"
End If
DoCmd.save
DoCmd.Close
DoCmd.OpenForm NextForm
End Sub
Private Sub SaveRecord_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
Dim NextForm As String
If Me.Status = "Pupil / Child" Then
NextForm = "StudentDetail"
Else
NextForm = "EmployerDetails"
End If
DoCmd.save
DoCmd.Close
DoCmd.OpenForm NextForm
End Sub
The primary key of this form is "PersonKey" and the two forms taht could open, each have"PErsonKey" as a foriegn key. However the key does not get brought across into the next form and the save function does not appear to work on all forms... :confused:
I put another button on this form using the control button wizard, and it gave me this code,
Private Sub Command23_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command23_Click
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acRecordsMenu, acSaveRecord, , acMenuVer70
Exit_Command23_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_Command23_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Command23_Click
End Sub
However when I run this from the form, it tells me that the "PersonKey" field needs a value.... :confused:

I have two forms based on two different tables:
1. MIS Work Request
2. MIS Work Request Type
When the first form is opened, it generates a new record and the user selects a request type, which then opens the second form. Is it possible to carry the rec_id (autonumbered) from the first table/form and have it save in another field in the second table/form. The second table has its own autonumbered rec_id, the first table/form's rec_id would be stored as a number value.
Thanks!

My database currently has a form with 2 subforms. The main form is the ConsultantList with a ConsultantID. This ConsultantID is carried over to a Contract subform when data is entered into the subform. This Contract subform also has a ContractID number that then carries over to a Services subform when data is entered into there.
I want to get rid of this subform within a form structure, and replace it with several linked forms with buttons to open the following form (ie The ConsultantList form will have a button to open up the Contract form). However, I cant figure out how to get the above data (ie ConsultantID, ContractID) to carry over when I have this structure. Does anyone know how to do this?
I made my subform structure (the one i first mentioned) via the Access wizard. My primary keys are ConsultantID (ConsultantList form), ContractID (Contract form), and ServiceID (Service form). If there is any other information needed, ill be happy to give it.

I have a unique "CustomerID" that is an auto number (this is how I link tables, forms, etc.), and "CustomerNumber", "CustomerName", "CustomerSubNumber" that could be null and could have duplicate values.
The first form I have is a Contact Info form where users will enter the contact information such as customer numbers, names, addresses, phone numbers, etc. This then links to an order form. My order form has a place to carry over the "CustomerNumber", "CustomerName", "CustomerSubNumber" values from the ContactInfo table. I would like these fields to automatically populate based on the CustomerID unique number as well as only show the information for that customer ID (including listing out any previous orders).

i have 4 supplier tables with identical field names but different databases in sql.I want to have them all in one table and only want the information for reference i do not want to edit any of the data.I need to create a new primary key number for the complete table. The data will need to be refreshed as the data comes from MMS Sage looking at company PLsuppliers.
I have tried a linked SQL union view- but this has no primary key.I need to keep the Primary key consistent as the data saved in other tables will use this field.The overall goal is creating a Purchase order system and this list will be my complete supplier list.

I'm having a problem with how my forms add data to my tables. I've been using the wizard to create 3 different tables and a form to update them. One of two things happens to me each time I finish the form, either it won't allow me to input any data or instead of updating a field each time I put something new it will write over the existing data for that field. I've tried using sub-forms too with the same problems. Is there something I can do to fix this or is there a past post that I can look at that may help me out.
Sorry if this isn't too clear like I said I'm new to Access and this is really only my second time using it.

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!

I'm building a simple db to track people with access to systems and buildings (Access 2000). I have three tables:
1. People (names, ID, etc.) with a primary key of an autonumber
2. Bldgs - y/n fields of bldg #'s with a primary key of a number (linked one to many from the People table)
3. Systems - essentially the same set up as Bldgs table (though they're not related)
People may have access to either bldgs, systems, both or none.
So I build a query to combine all three tables. If I add a new record (to the People table and only one of the other two tables) I can't go back later and add data to the third linked table seemingly because the autonumber exists in the other two tables but not that one. Well, sure.
So the question is, I'm obviously missing something insanely obvious, or if not, how do I get around this? It's driving me nuts.
Thanks,

Hello hello. I'm new here, and new to Access... I've just started taking Microsoft's Office Online training tutorials and I was wonder about planning tables and repetitive data.
I had transferred some stuff from Excel to Access but now I'm looking at redesigning my whole database using relationships, etc.
I'm mostly working with a mailing list, so my fields are:
Mr./Ms.
FirstName
LastName
Title
Company
Address
City
State
Zip
Okay. There is also a second list of contacts that will link to the Company field. But my question is, most of the contacts in this list have the same title (be it President or CEO or whatever...) -- there's only like four variations.
Would I make a separate table with just those four titles, so I don't have to repeatedly type "President" in the title field?
And then if so, what about things like Mr./Ms.? It's only two variations and every record needs one. And what about State? Again, only two states ever. These don't get their own little "related" table, do they? And if not, how do I avoid typing it every time??
Thank you so much for reading this, and thanks in advance for your help.
~Jas/LadyGrey
P.S. I have another major question too, actually. As I said, I'll have two different lists hinging on the Company name. Except I have some companies with multiple contacts... so I don't think I can make the Company the primary key, since it may be repeated for a few records. Help, please! Thanks!

Hi,
I need to create a table with 2 sets of different information both referring to job types. the problem is that i need the autonumber which created the job number to scale together. so both tables have a primary key of "job number" and i want the autonumber to only ever use 1 number in both tables.
e.g.
job type 1 - autonumbers - 1,2,3,4,6,7,9,10
job type 2 - autonumbers - 5,8,11,12
is there anyway of achieving this?
Any help greatly appreciated

I have mapped everything out and built it in Access (but haven't entered any data yet). My question relates to structure. The data is based on artifacts, each piece is recorded with an automatically generated primary key in the main table. There are a number of features (type, decoration etc.) that are documented in related tables (included in/linked to the main table with foreign keys). Aside from these (the features I will query on), each piece has a number of characteristics to be recorded (size, colour etc.). Because of form/table size, I have broken the information into three tables (a main table with ID details, a second with Sizing and Dimensions, and a third with Materials etc.).
My question is: Can the main ID primary key from the main ID table also be used as the primary key in the 2 other basic information tables, with these 2 linked to the main table in one-to-one relationships (so it's an auto-number in the main table and an integer in the other two). This to me would be much easier to navigate than to have one long giant table with all these basic details.
I have created a main data entry form with a "navigation form". 5 tabs/pages. Tab/Page 1 = main ID. 2 and 3 are the two broken apart tables mentioned above. 4 and 5 are forms based on related tables that have their own subforms included. Both 4 and 5 are based on tables in which the main ID primary key is entered as a foreign key (in one-to-many relationships with the main table). Since this was done with a navigation form (instead of adding each of the 4 as subforms), will it still allow me to enter all relevant details for one piece into each tab/page, and save it all together automatically (whenever I enter a new piece into the main ID form)? Will the primary key be automatically generated throughout, or do I have to enter it manually in each tab/page?

My Access 2010 skill level is intermediate.I have a table with 4 fields.
EmployeeID (Primary Key)
LastName
FirstName
SupervisorID
The problem I have is that in the Supervisor field, it identifies the supervisor by his/her EmployeeID. I would like to create a query or merge tables so that the SupervisorID can look for a matching value in the EmployeeID field and return the last name/first name.

Composite Primary Key in Ms Access 2010. I shall try and explain my tables in detail. So my first table is "Client Database" where the field "Buyer" is primary key. This is connected to my next table "Project Database" which has fields such as Work Order #, PO #, PO Date , Buyer etc where Work Order # is the primary key. Finally "Projects Database" is connected to Order information. Now the problem is until now, I always had 1 PO # for each Work Order #. However now I am facing a situation where my client has clubbed multiple PO #'s for the same Work Order #. I need to trigger the Primary Key Violation only if both the Work Order # and the PO # are the same.

I have three tables.
EAch has a field called ID that is an Autonumber that is the primary key.
When I enter data via a form each record has a different ID across the three tables.
Does this mean they are not linking up correctly?
I have attached my databaset if that helps.
Thanks.

Hi guys,
I am having problem with a query.
I have to tables. One named wire and the other named Input.
As my title says there is not unique ID for the tables to relate.. the only thing to relate is one ID where is not unique for all the rows
In the Wire Table I have 3 rows using the same ID, lets say 123.
In the Input Table I have 1 row using the same ID as above, i.e. 123
I need to select a couple of fields from Wire Table and 1 field from Input Table
The only relationship I have is the ID 123.... since the ID in Wire Table is repeated in 3 rows.... I would like to use the same value from the Input Table to be the same for the 3 rows in the other table.. Below is an example:
Wire Table:
ID Group
123 A
123 B
123 C
Input Table
ID Description
123 Analog
My wanted result would be
Group Description
A Analog
B Analog
C Analog
I tried using the Left join or Join function, but somehow the resulting table has many duplicates of the rows...such as:
Group Description
A Analog
A Analog
A Analog
A Analog
A Analog
B Analog
B Analog
B Analog
B Analog
...
Any Idea on whats going on and how can i solve this problem????
Thanks in advance. Your Help is much appreciated

In a many-to-many relation, one create joint table and use two columns of both ID's in a Composite way. This what the text books recommend.I had a Form/subform to view the relation between the two table. I tried to add to the subform a new relation Access did not allow me to do it. I can go to the joint table in datasheet view and ADD to my heart content observing the unique condition.
If I change the design of the joint table to auto as PK and the two ID's with no PK in either, I can update from the subform .WHY the Composite Keys do not allow me to update the joint table by adding new records in the subform ???

I have just inherited a database that currently has no primary key set up. I wanted to add a two part primary key, but have run into a couple problems. The purpose of the database is to keep track of parts that have come back for repair. I wanted to set the key up to be a combination of the call number and the part serial number. I should always have a serial number, but the serial number can be in the table more than once, as it could have needed repaired more than once. I will normally have a call number for each record.
However, the call number could be repeated more than once, if more than one part came in on the call. The combination between call number and serial number should always be unique (each time a part comes in, it should be on a different call). My problem is arising, when a part is just pulled off the shelf of the factory and sent in for an upgrade. In a case like that, there is no call number. However, a serial number will never come in more than once without a call number.
So the combination of call number and serial number should still remain unique. When I try to set this up in the database, it tells me that the primary key cannot contain a null value (referring to the times that a serial number comes in without a call number). I want to get this set up so that the people entering data in the database will not be able to enter the call number, serial number combination more than once. How can I do this if one part of the primary key can be null?

I have two tables tblPatients (pkUMRN) and tblAdmissions (pkAdmissionID, fkUMRNAdmission). pkUMRN is not auto-number, but is an 8-digit alphanumeric code unique to each tblPatients record. I have set up a one-to-many relationship between tblPatients_pkUMRN and tblAdmissions_fkUMRNAdmissions (each patient can have multiple admissions).
Is it possible to allow the entry of a new tblAdmissions_fkUMRNAdmissions to create a new tblPatients_pkUMRN? IE can you create a new primary key from a new foreign key?
Along a similar line, if the primary key already exists, how would you autofill a form with data from tblPatients when the tblAdmissions_fkUMRNAdmissions is entered in to the table?

I'm using Microsoft Access 2007
I have three tables: the 1st is for product's identification, the 2nd is for registered products, and the 3rd is for under-registration products
and the primary key for the three tables is the Registration Number
and there is a one to one relationship between the product identification and the registered products
and a one to one relationship between the product identification and the under registration products
What I want to do is to make an append query to move the under registration product to the registered product when its process is over.
One of my problems is with the primary key for the under registration products table, as they only get their registration number when the process is over. so how can I enter data into this table without the value of the primary key ?

I am creating a bridge table to get rid of redundant data. I am doing it by making a composite of the primary keys from the two tables I am bridging.
The error message when I get to a certain point is "You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table tblMachCent." Both the numbers I am using to create this composite key are in the tables necessary, so I am not sure why I am getting this problem. Any suggestions??

When I first was making my database I used all auto numbers for PK's. But then I read an article or two saying that you really don't need to do that if you don't have to (actually, the article said "don't use autonumber if you want anyone to understand your database). I have a few tables (most employee experience type tables) where I just use the word as the PK and there is no auto number in the table at all.I continue to build my database?

Is there a way I can format AutoNumber for a primary key, for example, have the first ID start as C001 then for the next entry Access will automatically go to C002, and so on and so forth?

I got a product table that I want to link with Customer Table.
To relate one to many I have a IDCustomer on my product table that is about 1000 rows.
I can link and all is working.
But in the product table I need a Primary Key that is shorteer in rows (only 15 rows) and access won't let me create such a primary key because it contains null value.
I Need Product ID (as primary key) to relate to another table which I will name Product details.
