Paste Errors
Jan 8, 2008
Hi All,
I've created an Access Database off of an old Fox Pro System. What I need to do is take the data from the tables in the old system and convert them in Access '03. I have roughly 4600 records to transfer.
When I copy the data from the old system and paste it in an Access table, only 300 or so records are pasted. Also, when I check the paste errors, there are less than 100 in there. Where are they going?
Some of the files aren't pasting because there were input errors on some. Others are linked with a department and Acct number and some of those are no longer current, so another reason why some of these records aren't pasting. This is a problem, but should only be around 500-1000 records tops.
I have noticed if I paste less at a time, I get less errors and more are actually copied through, but I don't know exactly how many I should do at a time?
Some questions I have are:
1. How many should I paste at a time?
2. Am I missing something with the paste errors, is there like a setting I can adjust?
3. Is there a better way to convert this old table into a new table?
Any suggestions or comments would be great because I have been stuck on this for a while and I DO NOT want to input these records one by one.
Thank you in advance,
Josh
Here's an email I sent to one of my friends seeing if he had any insight. I might explain my problem a little better here:
Purchasing Department has an old Fox Pro Contract System. I made this same system into Access and it works great. My problem is now converting the tables from the old system into the new system. There are approx. 4200 records. I have tried pasting them all in together and also sections at a time, but everything I do so, I get more or less copied through, and more or less paste errors displaying the ones that hadn’t copied over.
The reason some are not pasting in is because of old user input errors. Another reason is department and account numbers have changed therefore when the copy takes place, if Access doesn’t recognize an Acct number, then it cannot relate it to a department and will not paste in. I’m fine with that though. The problem I’m having is I’m always getting different amounts of errors each time I do this. For example, I did the first 500 records. Had 21 paste errors, all the others pasted fine. I then tried to do less so I copied the first 400 and only received 3 errors, but then I did the next 400 after that and only 200 pasted through and it only displayed 20 or so paste errors. I think there are roughly 400-500 bad records so I’m not understanding why all but those 400-500 paste.

When I click a tab (table,queries,reports or module) I receive an error that says (" isn't an index in this table. Look in the indexes collection of the TableDef object to determine the valid index names). Please help.
Thanks,

name *****
Date of birth **/*****

Is it possible to copy and paste all the information in one go from the email and paste everything into its correct places on a form with one action? This would save alot of time & effort on the users part.
Many Thanks

Hi.
I'm having trouble with two tables. I'm trying to COPY and PASTE some data from one table to the other. The tables are an exactly match apparently, I check each field and they match. Once I COPY one table data and go to the next table to PASTE APPEND , it starts pasting and all of a sudden stops and I get this message:
"THE TEXT YOU ENTERED ISN'T AN ITEM IN THE LIST. SELECT AN ITEM FROM THE LIST OR ENTER TEXT THAT MATCHES ONE OF THE ITEMS."
So, I have no idea what ITEMS it's reffering to. I click OK, and I keeps telling me same thing for at least 4 OK's clicks. After I'm asked if I am sure I want to past such number of records, by then, only a porcentage of the records are copied, not all. If I say NO I do not want to copy, it still copies anyway, but again, not all the date, just a portion.
Would you have any idea how I can get this problem solved or how did I get into this mess anyway?
I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.

I have a subform that populates the same data for every day. What I would like to do is have an OnClick even fill in all the records at once. I have tried a method of pasting, but I am sure I am either doing it worng or there is a better way.
My code:
Private Sub Command65_Click()
Me.StoreID.SetFocus
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdPasteSpecial, "349"
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdRecordsGoToNew
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdPasteSpecial, "352"
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdRecordsGoToNew
End Sub
I figured set focus on the first one fill in the storeid then go to next record, fill in the next storeid, etc. This does not work right.

To speed up my input I copy a record and paste it.
Only trouble is that I have one field in the table that is dependant on the parent table. [The customers email address which I populate with a query/combo box. There could be many, depending who the order was for.]
Q: What function could I use after the paste funtion to ammend that field automatially setting it to 'null'
Q: I looked into WM_PASTE but I'm really struggling!
Many thanks
Jon

I have database which has worked normally, and just made a couple of amendments
I then go to edit a form (which I had not amended) and get an Access has an fatal error etc.
I reopened it. and repaired compiled etc, but absolutely impossible to get into this form. Access crashes every time I try to do something with it. I can't even delete the form.
(This was A97)
There's no problem, I just got my last back up, and imported the changes I had made from the faulty dbs -
I just wondered if anyone else ever got these issues, and what they did about them.

We have an access db that has been working fine for ages and now when we click on a New Record button we are getting the following error:-
Run time error 2105 - you can't go to the specified record. erroring out on the line DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec. We are not aware of anything changing on the PC that the db is sitting on. I have spent the whole day searching the web but have found nothing helpful.
I have compacted and repaired the db, even went to the form/table security to see if all users can edd/add.
Any help greatfully received

I do a query to remove "." from a list of my servers. This works great, but for every name on the list without a "." I get an error in the output. Is there any way to remove these errors from the output, so I only see the data that has been properly pruned down?
here is the query i'm running
sort: Left([AgentName],InStr([AgentName],".")-1)

I have an unbound combo box that is sporadically failing with an error message when an entry in its pulldown list is selected. The error message is to the effect: 'The value you entered isn't valid for this field' .
The record source for the combo box is a table/query which is updated by an event triggered by another control on the form. That code also sets the Format property of the combo box to match the native Format of the field from which the combo box is retrieving the data. So data from Yes/No field, a date field, or a currency field, for example, display properly in the revised combo box. When the combo box is populated from a source field that has no special format (the usual case, as with text fields), the code resets the combo box's Format to "".
Again, the combo box has no control source (it is unbound). So, the only culprit for an error message like this that I can think of is this Format property. Yet, when the error occurs, the combo box's Format is properly set to "", which should permit any kind of data, and I try entering any kind of data at all -- all data is rejected with this error message.
Is there any thing else I should look at?

Hi,
this is probably an old one but its catching me out. I'm writing a sports club database in ASP.
When users submit their club details in the form to Access, I get errors if it has the characters ' in any of the fields.
I've managed to get around " by replacing it with "". However, this doesn't seem to work with '
I'm new to ASP... anyhow the part of my form which deals with this is:
Form_style = Trim(Replace(Request.Form("style"),"""",""""""))
Form_club_name = Trim(Replace(Request.Form("club_name"),"""",""""""))
Form_name = Trim(Replace(Request.Form("name"),"""",""""""))
Form_website = Trim(Replace(Request.Form("website"),"""",""""""))
I also do a bit more error checking on the email address, for length, @ etc. This bit seems to work ok. However,
Any tips on how to improve the error handling for ' or " before its submitted to access is appreciated.
Thanks

My Access 2000, created the dummy's way, has been perfectly happy with its query expressions. But when I create a module calling up these queries, I get Compile Error on many perfectly legal expressions such as Left([pfn],1).
I've tried repairng the database but to no avail.
What is going on, please?
Btw, DBicken, it's when I include your text concantenation code (Posting 6/21/06: "A whole lotta text/stitching") but I don't think it's your fault: it's just exposing it. I can't try your suggestion until I solve this problem.

The problem is that when an admin update the database from a web application that I created in .asp, it gave an error message.
The only way to fix this is to restart the IIS services and others that depend on IIS. But this is not practical.

Can anyone tell me what I need to look for?
P.S. This is an Online Food Menu which is inside an 'Employee Directory' that is a web application. When a user open up the 'Employee Directory', it load up the page along with an icon to view 'Online Food Menu'. Kind of like having a web application within a web application. Updating the Employee Directory is not a problem. The issue lies on the admin side where s/he try to update the menu, it give 2 of the above errors that I mention.
It is on a Windows 2003 standard edition machine.

Hi all
Background
I'm appending data using an append query. I have a known error that I'm trying to work around. sometimes when trying to append, the field names are slightly different and I get a prompt for a parameter value. ideally i'd like all the field names to match up...
So.... I'm trying to error trap this.
what I need is some code that will...
if prompted for a parameter, cancel the parameter and goto query 2 (or error1).
I can't seem to use on error because access isn't treating it as an error...
Any ideas are much appreciated.

I want to lookup a list of employees (in a form) and by double clicking a name listed, have that name pasted into another form or Sub form to add details to it.
I want to select a number of employees and add info such as attending a training session, plus the topics covered, instructors name etc. I want to add this info once but relate it to a number of employees who attend the training???

I have 2 tables , one table I want to use as temporary information the other to use as permanent information
For example if I have 6 records in one table , I want to be able to press a button that removes those 6 records from the temporary table and put them in the permanent table. Then later as I add more to the temporary data table again press a button and then temporary data is added to the permanent table.
Therefore the temporary table will always be empty when I press the button and the permanent table will keep adding the information I transfer across .

We have multiple users using the same database as local copies on each of their PC's. they are entering information in specifically assigned areas and no one is overlapping in their work areas. The users then synchronize to a master database that is on the network to transfer their info.
When synchronizing we are beginning to conflict errors, and the message is hard to decipher. Below is an example:
"Update/Delete conflict: Another replica also updated this record. This record lost the conflict. Either resubmit your update or delete the conflict record."
It then shows two columns. Column 1 has the option to "Keep exisiting data" an dcolumn two has the option to "Override with conflicting data".
Technically, when synchronization happens, data of the user who is synchronizing overrides existing data in the master database in the same record(s). In that spirit, what is the 'existing' and 'conflicting' data referred to in the message?

Hi,
I did a search on common access errors and other errors that you would want to trap and got the following results:
Cannot update. Database or object is read-only
Operation must use an updateable query
General error Unable to open registry key
Could not find file
Could not use '(unknown)'; file already in use
Table 'tblTable' is exclusively locked by user 'Admin' on machine 'MyMachine'
Too few parameters. Expected 1
Either BOF or EOF is True, or the current record has been deleted
Item cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the requested name or ordinal
The search key was not found in any record
If you know any extra errors, can you please add them to this list?
Regards,
B

I'm trying to modify an existing database to make it easier and faster to search for homeowners. Currently, there is a search window that has two radio buttons, and a list box. one radio button is to search by address and another by last name. When you click one of these, it shows all the records in the list box. The problem is that 1. this is time consuming scrolling through over 300 records, and 2. more search options are needed, to include tag numbers of vehicles, and also phone numbers of residents. What Im trying to do is replace the radio buttons with a text box that will search all of the wanted fields, and produce a list of results in the list box. I'd rather not use a search button and just have the list box filter out as you type, but if a button must be used then thats fine. I've tried different ways, and searched all over the new for weeks, but cannot find the solution to my problem. Here is the current and original code. Thanks in advance for your help....Mike
