Populate Table Column With Data From Another Table
Dec 23, 2004
I have one database containing several tables, two of which are associated to this inquiry:
1) tblCategories
Contains two columns: CatID and Category Name
2) tblPending
Contains many columns of data obtained through upload from a web form including a column to capture the CatID and also a column for Category Name.
I wish to populate the Category Name column based on the results of data uploaded into CatID column
How is this accomplished? This is inherited project and I have very little experience with Access so just limping along...
Specific instruction much appreciated.
Thank you.

1. I want to populate a list box with all the Tables Names in my Database using VBA.
2. I also want to create another List Box or Grid (or any thing that will show table data) that when i have select a Table Name (See above (1)) it will show all the data in that table in the List Box. Was thinking some kind of SQL using vba to populate the list box?
Any ideas or help will be much appreciated

I have problems understanding lookup tables, especially how to populate them with data. I'm working on an exams database, and have many such tables...
Table for Students
Table for Subjects
and a lookuptable for studentsubjects
Table for Classes 1, 2, 3, 4
Table for Subjects Eng, Math, Geo, Chem... 11 subjects in all
and a lookuptable SubjectClasses
Having inserted data for all subjects and all classes, should I then go ahead and Insert data for SubjectClasses? There will be 44 items!
Even more appalling, studentsubjects table will have (no of students * 11) for my small school, it will be 1,760

I want to append/populate all data from one table to subform?
It is possible?
I managed to populate data from one table to another but my relations between form and subform isn't good, because record that is supposed to be filled as the "link master fields" is left blank.

In my UpdateForm I have 3 fields. PartNumber, Description and SerialNumber. I use 2 tables for these. My MainTable and PartsList Table.
In my PartsList table I have the list of PartNumber in Column (0) and Description in column (1).
In my MainTable I have 4 fields: TransactionID (autoNumber), PartNumber(text), Description(text) and SerialNumber (text).
Now, In my UpdateForm I want the user to just select the PartNumber with a combo box (that also show the "Description" (I created this using the combo box wizard)). But I want to auto populate the field in my "Description" text box every time the user will enter new record and will also update my MainTable with all the values they entered in my UpdateForm.
I tried this codes in the after update of PartNumber combo box (properties):
Description = Partnumber.Column(1)
I tried also:
me.Description.value=me.PartNumber.column(1)
both codes unsuccessful.

I have with my database. It's holds cost data including purchase made in foreign currencies which need to be converted to GBP using the correct exchange rate so a variety of reporting & stats can be performed.I have a table called Costs within which there are 2 fields
Purchase Currency
Exchange Rate
I also have another table called Exchange Rates 13/14 within which there are 2 fields
Currency
Exchange Rate
When a value is entered in the Purchase Currency field on the Costs table (this is a look up field linked to Exchange Rates 13/14 so it shows the listed currency in drop down) I need the database to automatically populate the Exchange Rate column in Costs i.e. match the value in the Purchase Currency field to the Currency field in Exchange Rate 13/14 and populate with corresponding Exchange Rate from Exchange Rate 13/14.I have tried the following and none work:
SQL Tried
1.
UPDATE Costs
SET ExchangeRate = [Exchange Rates 13/14].[Exchange Rate]
WHERE Costs.[Purchase Currency] LIKE [Exchange Rates 13/14].Currency
2.
UPDATE
Costs
SET
ExchangeRate = [Exchange Rate]
FROM
[Exchange Rates 13/14]
INNER JOIN
[Exchange Rates 13/14]
ON
Costs.[Purchase Currency] = [Exchange Rates 13/14].Currency
3.
SELECT [Exchange Rate]
FROM [Exchange Rates 13/14]
WHERE Costs.[Purchase Currency] LIKE [Exchange Rates 13/14].Currency
I know it is possible to have a drop down for Purchase Currency which shows 2 columns (both Currency and Exchange Rate) you can then use the exchange rate figure for a calculated field. The problem I have is that I am importing data into the costs table from excel. In Excel I can only have 1 value in the Purchase Currency column on the upload template. If I just have Euro in this column the database does not match it to the Euro in the Purchase Currency drop down and also store the correct exchange rate.
Or is the alternative to put this into the calculation of GBP Unit Cost where this somehow matches the Purchase Currency in the Costs table to the Currency field in Exchange Rates 13/14 tables and uses the appropriate exchange rate from Exchange Rates 13/14 to calculate GBP Unit Cost in Costs table.

I've been able to navigate a lot on my own, but there is one issue I cannot seem to resolve. I have 1 form and 1 table. I have the form set up so that you can enter data, and then press a button, and it will "save" and refresh the form for a new entry. However, I want to be able to pull that entry back up in the form, and fill out additional fields later on.The form is set to data entry = yes because I do want the form to open up as brand new each time.
To sum up my question. I want a text box and search button at the top of my form. When you type an ID number in the text box, and then press search, I want access to populate my form with the information in my data table associated with that ID number.
If I type in the number 1234 and hit search. I want my form to autopopulate with the data in the row for ID number 1234 (all the fields I have already populated). So by searching 1234, the name, phone, background info, etc that is populated in the row will appear.

I have a table of at least 1000 records. I want to add a new field to that table. I have the data of that field in an excel sheet. Can I import that data to the new column of my table ? If I import directly to access, access creates new set of records. I don't want this, I want my records updated.
Thanks for help

I have a list of 4300 clients. The clients' personal information and ID numbers are listed in the table BasicInformation. Another table, DiseasesAndValues lists 17 diseases and a "scheduled value" (long story short - an amount of money) for each disease. Each client has one of these 17 diseases. I would like to have a column in the BasicInformation table which shows the scheduled value for the disease that a particular client has by going back to the DiseaseAndValues table and checking to see what the scheduled value of their disease is. Alternatively, I could use a query that could enter in these values with a click of a button.

I have an Access table say Tbl_People that looks like :
ID1-ID2-Name-Age-Location
xxx-yyy-Mike-25-Essex
uuu-vvv-Jack-32-Surrey
mmm-nnn-Bob-36-Newcastle
I want to transfer this data into another table say Tbl_Output with four columns in the format below:
xxx-yyy-Name-Mike
xxx-yyy-Age-25
xxx-yyy-Location-Essex
uuu-vvv-Name-Jack
uuu-vvv-Age-32
uuu-vvv-Location-Surrey
mmm-nnn-Name-Bob
mmm-nnn-Age-36
mmm-nnn-Location-Newcastle
In Tbl_Output's 3rd column, only the Columns names: Name, Age and Location are repeated for each person and not column names ID1,ID2 (only its data xxx,yyy etc. is required in columns 1 and 2 as shown).
I was helped by rpeare with a VBA module that gives a single column output in Tbl_Output as
Mike
25
Essex
Jack
32
Surrey
Bob
36
Newcastle
The code is:
Sub main()
Dim db As Database
Dim rstElements As Recordset
Dim sName As String
Dim sNumber As String
Dim sArea As String
Dim freefile
Dim Filenumber As Integer
Dim sSQL As String
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rstElements = db.OpenRecordset("tbl_elements")
rstElements.MoveFirst
sSQL = "DELETE * FROM Tbl_Output"
db.Execute sSQL
Do While rstElements.EOF <> True
sName = rstElements.Fields(1)
sNumber = rstElements.Fields(2)
sArea = rstElements.Fields(3)
sSQL = "INSERT INTO Tbl_Output (OutputField) SELECT '" & sName & "'"
db.Execute sSQL
sSQL = "INSERT INTO Tbl_Output (OutputField) SELECT '" & sNumber & "'"
db.Execute sSQL
sSQL = "INSERT INTO Tbl_Output (OutputField) Select '" & sArea & "'"
db.Execute sSQL
rstElements.MoveNext
Loop
Set rstElements = Nothing
Set db = Nothing
End Sub
How can this be modified to get the required format data above? Thanks for any help in advance

I use a Make-Table Action query to import data from a linked table into my database. The linked table is on a network server that is automatically updated.
One column of the linked table is named "QTY/PARTIAL" and approximately 10% of the 500 records have a "P" after a number i.e. 1000 P. I would like to separate the number and the P into separate columns in the new table to faciliate being able to compute the total number "QTY".
Thanks,
Gunner...:confused:

I have two tables (Table 1, Table 2). Table 1 is blank and has the fields "Field1, Field2, and Field3." Table 2 has data and 10 different fields ("Field1, Field2", etc). I want to copy all data from the matching fields in Table 2 to the corresponding Table 1. I've tried an Update Query in design view. Did not join any records, and just a simple:
Field: Field 1
Table: Table 1
Update To: [Table2]![Field5]
This returns 0 records to update. I thought about a Make Table to override the entire Table, but that isn't working either.

I have a table called BID with the following fields
bidder, seller, iid, starttime, bidtime, and bidprice
bidder is an id number that is reference to uid of table USER
the USER table have the following fields,
uid, uname, city, and state
I created a BID form for the user to enter data into the BID table. What I am trying to do but is having trouble with is have the user search for their name that may already be store in the uname field in the user table, and what ever they choose base on their search, the uid of this uname gets store into the bidder field of the bid table.
I still have a second step where the user in the bid form can search the iid but shows the itemname from the item table, and the value of seller, iid, and starttime from the auction table gets populated into the bid table.
iid from the auction table is reference to the itemtype and the following fields exist in the itemtype table.
iid, itemname, description

1. I have a table which lists all of the equipment we use in our company and would like to use it as a template in a form so that users can select a checkmark if the equipment is being used that day. The checked items would then be used to populate another table which records all of the equipment the user has selected. I thought the checkmark method would be best so that the user can scroll through the list of equipment and select multiple pieces for the day. The reason I don't use a multi-value field is so that the user can also enter quantity and hours of equipment used in the same table when they scroll through the list.
2. Once all of the equipment pieces have been checked, I would like the user to be able to click a review button which would navigate to the next form with all of the selections for the day. This new form will have the option to go back to the first form if any corrections need to be made. And also have the option to submit the results.
3. Once the user is finished with their selections, the user can then select Submit which will finalize the recorded equipment table and clear the checkboxes and any inputs from the equipment template table (without modifying anything) so that it can be used for the next day and so forth.
I am using access 2013...

I'm trying to use VBA to update a new column in a table with info I already have in another table.The table I want to update is an inventory details table, it has around 25,000 records. I added a column called "UnitCost", of course the column is empty for all 25,000 records so I would like to fill it easily using DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE" feature.
I use that through-out the program however I'm unable to connect the dots for this one.What it needs to do is update "UnitCost" in "InventoryDetails" from "Products" where "InventoryDetails.ProductNumber" = "Products.ProductNumber"
The "Products" table has all the different unit cost, it just need to be placed in the "InventoryDetails" table for every record. Of course product1 needs products1 unit cost and product2 needs products2 unit cost, etc.

Hi all,
In the organisation that I work for employees get paid every 2 weeks on a Saturday. So for this financial year the pay period end dates have been 08/07/2006, 22/07/2006, 05/08/2006 etc
I have a column in an Access table listing various dates. I want the next column to be
populated with the next pay period end date after that date.
So if DATE is 05/07/2006 I want PAY PERIOD END to be 08/07/2006
and if DATE is 09/07/2006 I want PAY PERIOD END to be 22/07/2006 etc
How do I do this?
Kind Regards,

How to copy a column from one table and insert it into another table in the same database
Hi, All,
I have two tables (old and new) sitting in the same database. The new table is the result of 'data cleansing' done by an external company. In the process (export and import via excel) two memo type colums in the table were truncated in excel.
To make the new table usable, I must therefore now copy/insert the two memo columns from the old table into the new table.
Both tables are already Access tables and sit in the same database. Both tables, of course, have the same number of rows.
I tried to high-light one column in the old table, clicked copy, then high-lighted a blank column in the target table, then clicked Paste, but got error msg: "This text is too long for this field. Try copying a shorter text", as if I had wanted to copy the whole column into one cell rather than one column into another column of equal length.
What is the best way to proceed?
Thanks for your help.
Adrian
