I have a fairly simple append query that appends two columns of data to another table - all good. Except, the destination table has a field 'ServiceDate' that I would also like to be completed at the same time with today's date. I presume that this is =Date(), but where do I put it to make this happen?
View RepliesWhile using append Q I lose formatting information in destination table.
How do I transfer the formatted information with out losing it when using append Q?
I am new to access so VBA code is not an option for me.
See image below.
"Field 'F1' doesn't exist in destination table 'tablename.'"
I hate this error message.
I am using the following command to load data from an excel spreadsheet into a backend SQL Server database via an .adp:
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel7, sTempTable, strFileName, False, "A2:B4000"
I have purposely used "False" to ensure that the first line in my spreadsheet is ignored. This is because the first line in my spreadsheet contains headings that do not match the column names in my table.
I do not wish to change my headings as end users will be making use of my application and they will not like headings such as "int_FactoryID". Likewise I do not want to change the column names in my table to words such as "Factory ID" as this would be a bad naming convention.
Is there a way to use TransferSpreadsheet without necessarily matching the headings in the spreadsheet to the column headings?
Is there a way for TransferSpreadsheet to ignore the headings and assume that the first column in the spreadsheet needs to go to the first column in my SQL Server table?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Was trying to append an Excel 97-2003 spreadsheet to an existing Access 2010 database.
The last field in the spreadsheet is Date Update.
When I click 'Finish' I get the error "Field Date Update doesn't exist in destination table <name of table>.
This database was created in Access 2003, and was not updated since and I don't have Access 2003 on my destop.
I saved the Excel Spread as a Excel Workbook *.xlsx and tried to append it. Same Error was the result.
I'm getting error 2391 field 'f1' doesn't exist in destination table
Code:
Dim FileBrowse As Office.FileDialog
Dim varFile As Variant
Dim sFile As String
Set FileBrowse = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
[Code] ....
I want to set a table field's default value to whatever is displayed in a certain field on a certain form at the time.In other words, say I have a database with a table called TABLE1, and two fields called NAME and SCHEDULENUMBER. I have a form called CreateSchedule with a SCHEDULE NUMBERCONTROL form and a NAME form, and I can enter names onto it, and it records to the proper SCHEDULENUMBER. So if I pull up SCHEDULENUMBER 4, and add three names, when I go back into TABLE1, I can see those three new names, and each one has the SCHEDULENUMBER set to 4.
What I'm trying to do is write an APPEND QUERY to copy a list of names from a different table, and paste them into TABLE1. The problem is that the other table doesn't have a SCHEDULENUMBER field. What I want to do is put a button on the CreateSchedule form that runs an APPEND QUERY, and sets the SCHEDULENUMBER to whatever value is displayed on CreateSchedule's SCHEDULENUMBERCONTROL field.
I tried setting a default value in TABLE1's field properties for that SCHEDULENUMBERCONTROL field, but I keep getting error messages. I just want TABLE1, whenever I add a new record (regardless of how I add the record: manually typing it or clicking the append query button) to look at the form CreateSchedule, and set it's own SCHEDULENUMBER field to whatever is displayed in CreateSchedule's SCHEDULENUMBERCONTROL form.
If you want to use a "DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO" command to insert data in a table and the data to insert comes from a table and a form, could this be done in one pass?
So...writing a record wit 4 values from table1 together with a additional value from a textbox in table2 as 5 values.
Is there a way to append a pivot table to a table or possibly make a query based on a pivot table? I need to get a count of Part Numbers and I need the average price for all these parts. Additionally I want to ignore a count of less than 3.
Also I am having trouble filtering on the count in the pivot table... haha, so I was gonna Query on it later on.
In Access 2010 what is the destination field? I keep getting 'query must have at least 1 destination field' when I try to fun it.

I have a field in one table that needs the sum from fields in another table.
How do I go about doing that?

how I could run an append query from table A to table B that only appends data that is not in table B.I want the primary keys of A to be exactly the same as B, because I will use B as a blank slate (another append query to append info to another table C with all the fields as 0 except for the primary key).
For example,
Table A - Supplier
Table B - Things that supplier does (blank)
Table C - Things that supplier does (information)
Lets say table A has 1,2,3,4 for supplier.Table B has 1, 2, 3, 4, as primary keys as well but all the other fields are zero.I insert PK "5" + data into table A through a data entry form, and then when I click on "save" in the data entry form, I want to macro an append/update qry (I don't know which one is supposed to be used in this instance) that will insert PK-5 into table B, so that I can append the blank slate info into table C.
I am trying to import data from excel into one of Access table but it showing error F30 does not exist in destination table. I have checked headings which are matched. Same sheet tried to import in access successfully, but unable to import specific table...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want an append query to add records to one of several tables, depending upon the value of a variable entered into a form. This variable is also used to select the appropriate records. The query is invoked from the visual basic code behind the form.
Can anyone tell me how to edit the destination table from within the visual basic?
In hope...

I have a database I took over, that generally uses linked tables to a MYSQL servers on another machine. The Access database uses a machine DSN to connect.
There are many queries that contain references to linked tables using another name. For example, the table is "service unit" but the queries are using "SU" as a reference. I cannot find any database object with that name SU. There are many such tables referenced like this - all uppercase letters, which is a common thing they all share.
Now, the server had a file integrity issue, and now the queries that contained the SU references will not work anymore. I created a linked table and called it SU and but the queries still won't work until I edit the queries, remove the old SU table, and add the new one in. So,
1. Where those table references could have come from, if it's not a linked table? Is there a hidden location on the server, or in the access database that stores another connection method?
2. Why won't simply adding a similarly named database object work the same way? Why must I re-edit all the queries?
I've designed a data entry form based on a table. I use a few combo boxes, (linked via SQL statements for their row/source) to fill most of the fields in the table.
What I want to do is populate one textbox on the form with the contents of a field in one of the combo box's row/source tables. The field I want isn't shown in the combo box.
Basically, what I want is that when I choose a PART NUMBER from a combo box, I want the OEM_ID from the same table to jump into the textbox below it.
I think I may have tied myself in knots though to the point where what I want can't be done. Any ideas? I know this is probably going to take a couple of goes at explaining. :P
I have a table called dbo.userinfo with a primary key called employeeid and a field named jobfunction.
i have an intermediate table named dbo.projectpositions with a primary key named projnumber and a foreign key named employeeid.
I have a 3rd table named projects with a primary key projnumber and a field called project manager.
I'm trying to append the Projects table so that any projects that a worker has worked on (dbo.projectpositions) that is listed as a project manager (jobfunction) will have their employeeid fill in the project manager field on the projects table. Looks something like this:
INSERT INTO Projects ( [Project Manager] )
SELECT dbo_UserInfo.JobFunction
FROM (dbo_UserInfo INNER JOIN dbo_ProjectPositions ON dbo_UserInfo.EmployeeID = dbo_ProjectPositions.EmployeeID) INNER JOIN Projects ON dbo_ProjectPositions.ProjNumber = Projects.ProjNumber
WHERE (((dbo_UserInfo.JobFunction)="Project Manager"));
But just can't figure out the next step to populate the project manager field...
I basically want to use a set list (TableAddresses). This would be a Append Like "*InsertAddress*" I do this manually by simply typing 20 different addresses and then clicking Append.
Is there a better way to do this simply?
I have the field called subject_id which is autonumber in the form of 10001,10002,... And I want the field with the same format to appear in another table. But appending it leads to different numbering, i.e. the filed becomes 1, 2, ... instead of 10001, 10002 as I've formatted it in its original table. How could I append/copy such a field?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to get a series of combo boxes to interact and record the selections made in new records within a destination table. Here is situation with respect to the tables involved:
1 table lists the names/acronyms of various research facilities and the branch to which they belong (acronym is PK)
1 table lists Financial Points of Contact for each facility (acronym is FK to relate to earlier table)
1 table lists Technical Points of Contact for each facility (acronym is FK to relate to Facility table)
1 table lists program participants and the branch they belong to (Branch in FK to relate to Facility table)
I am trying to create a form that allows me to set the participant and, from this selection, restricts the facility choices in the Facility combo box to those that fall within the branch to which the participant is assigned. I think the next step is pretty obvious too. Once the facility is selected I have combo boxes that would only display those Financial and Technical PoCs assigned to that facility.
I have watched the 4 Data Pig tutorials and I can easily make functional cascading combo boxes as long as they only refer to the look up tables. I generated perfectly functioning cascading combo boxes on a test form. How do I generate combo boxes that will then store the info selected in my destination table? Whenever I try to set a Control Source it disrupts the functioning of the queries.
I am using a DB to, among other things, calculate the monthly salary of my service users. Obviously, I have to do it every moth. Most of the data from the previous month will be the same in the next month, except date. Even if some of it is different, having the previous data on sight calculate the new salaries.
Every month I have to select all records with the month date (say 07/2015) I want to copy and
(1) copy paste the records into the salaries table, and
(2) search and replace the new records' dates.
For example, records with 07/2015 with say 08/2015 (I have to replace downwards to ensure I don't change the record of the month I need to keep).
It can't be that difficult, but I have tried append and update queries to make this automatically (say by clicking a button) but so far no luck.
I have two append queries that I use to archive certain data from two different tables to one archive table. The queries are run from the corresponding forms of the two tables. I would like to be able to add the form name to the append query.
That is, if the old data is coming from FrmA, then the Archive table would show that the old data came from FrmA or TblA, etc. I added a field in the Archive table [FormName]. I know you can call the name of the form by =frm.name, but how do I append this to the Archive table without having to have the Archive form open?
I have created an append query to update completed courses to a previous education table.
INSERT INTO Education ( ID, [Qualification Name], [Level], [Date Achieved] )
SELECT Courses.ID, Courses.CourseName, Courses.CourseLevel, Courses.CertRecvDate
FROM Courses
WHERE (((Courses.CertRecvDate) Is Not Null) AND ((Courses.CourseCompleted)=True));
The theory here is if CourseCompleted checkbox is check and there is a value in CertRecvDate, the qualification has been achieved and therefore should be added to the previous education table (which will be used later for CV's etc)
The problem I face is I only want it to add any particular course once to the previous education table and not every time the query is executed. I am thinking I need to pass the CourseID field aswell to the education table and somehow check to see if that has been already added .
I have attached a screenshot showing the structure of the two tables.
I am trying to create a table from a form. The form has several fields but I need to take the value from 4 separate combo boxes ([cr] +[br] +[tr] and add them, then add the value from one more combo box [inc] to be my beginning value in a table.
I then need to add the last value [inc] to the total and that become the next line in the table. I would the like to add this value [inc] an infinite number of times until it reaches a max number.
The scenario would be something like this
cr=3 br=2 tr=3 inc=1.5
So the first total would be 9.5. Then every row after that would be plus 1.5
11
12.5
14
15.5
17
and so on.
This would be a temp table that I would run a query on to let an operator know lengths they can choose from in a combo box. I don't know if this is even possible.
I am trying to open a form with some records taken from one table, then alter couple of data in it and after that most importantly to append current records into a different table. The reason I need to append is that I need to keep track on every occurrence on same fields.
It looks like this:
SerialNumber(Field 1), ServiceDate(Field 2), ServiceEngineer(Field 3)
Now suppose same serial number called again and asked for service, I need to still keep record on how many times this same serial number had service.
how can i appnend table from one table to other table when i do it says...Cannot Open Database". It May not be a database that your application recognizes , or the file may be corrupt.
