Queries :: Changing Primary View
Jun 12, 2013I was wondering if it is possible to change the primary view for queries from the table view to say, the Pivot Chart view?

Queries :: Primary Key Used In PivotTable View
Jul 9, 2014I have a table (Quarter) which acts as a source for another table. When I create a query based on the latter in the Datasheet view the entries of the second column of table Quarter are shown. The PivotTable field however displays the primary key.Where do I need to make the change to only have the second column entries (Q1, Q2, ...) shown in the PivotTable view as well?

Dec 23, 2013A have a query that selects a multivalue field. The query forms the record source for a subform. The text values in the multivalue field are displayed in the query, but when I save this and view the data in the subform datasheet view the values revert to the primary key values. They are 1,2,3,4 instead of the text values

May 1, 2005Hello all,
I am re-working an old database that 'grew up' the wrong way. It is a medical patient database and has 4 main tables. Primary key of main data table is Medical Record number (MR#), a user entered field (I know...). This links to 3 other tables: Diagnoses (indexed by MR# as well, 1-to-1 relationship with main table), Consults (indexed by a compound key of MR# and date, 1 to many relationship), and Procedures (indexed as well by MR# and date; 1 to many as well).
Here is my plan, and I want to know if I'm going to go about it the right way:
I will first delete the relationships between these tables.
I will then give the main table an autonumber field called PatientIndex, and each other table their own autonumber (DiagnosisIndex, ConsultIndex, ProcedureIndex). I will also give each of the other 'daughter' tables a PatientIndex field as well. I will populate the PatientIndex fields of the daughter records with a VBA routine that matches their MR# with the MR# in the main table, and then inserts the corresponding PatientIndex.
Now that each table has no relationships, and has all the right fields, I suspect Access will allow me to change the Keys for each table, and create new relationships, and it should all work cleanly. The goal is to have each table indexed by an autonumber field that is unrelated to user entry, and to link them by the Primary key.
Does this sound like the right approach? As to why do this if it works OK, it's a matter of maintenance. It's simply too buggy as it stands, and it's torturing me. Will my plan work without crashing the db?
Changing The Primary Key Of A Table
Aug 4, 2005HI
I did some BAD planning before I started creating my database and I set a text field ("field1") of a table ("table1") as primary key, then I linked this field to a field in another table ("table2", one-to-many relationship). Now I wan't to change some values in table1 in "field1" defined as primary, but I can't (Access refuses to do so...).
Because I have a lot of data entered allready I would like to know if there is any way for me to change values in "table1"/"field1" and that all the linked fields in other tables ("table2") would change correspondingly??????
I hope my question is clear enough to understand.
thanx in advance

Changing Primary Key To AUTONUMBER On Existing Database ?
Mar 30, 2007I have an existing contact information database which consists of a number of tables, the main table has a primary key which is currently set to NUMBER.
There is a relationship between it and 2 other tables via that key (ContactID).
I would now like to change the primary key (ContactID) to AUTONUMBER, so that any new records added, have a number assigned automatically. I also need any newly created primary key number to be used in the child tables created as a result.
Is this possible ? (without renumbering my existing tables/records)
many thanks
Changing Misspelled Record In Primary Key Of Table

Jun 27, 2006Well, I got asked to do this with a datasheet view today, and I found after searching the forum that I'm not sure how to do it, and no one else seems to have done this either.
Basically I need to flag a row in a datasheet subform dependant on if a date field is more than 1 month ago and if the status field is set to pending. I looked at conditional formatting, but that only seems to let me set a condition on a single field at a time.
Any help would be appreciated :)
How To Create Dynamic Report With Changing View
Jun 10, 2014I have a master recordset containing sales data for numerous products. I'd like to create a dynamic "dashboard" (i.e. a single report or form that the user can interact with dynamically) where the user can click a product name from a ListBox and see a summary report generate in the space below. If they click a different product name from the ListBox, I'd like the report space to automatically refresh and show the next summary report.
I've created my desired report and dragged it into the form but I'm having trouble embedding it dynamically into the form: I tried using the "Link Child Fields"/"Link Master Fields" properties, but get an error message saying I can't build a link between unbound forms. Here's a screenshot what I'm trying to accomplish...
General :: Database Running Slow After Changing To Design View
Dec 14, 2014I am new to access.
On occasion my access database all of a sudden begins to operate very slowly, I notice the queries take a much longer time to run.
Last week it suddenly began to operate very slowly after idling in excess of 30 mins
Today when I change the screen to design view and then back to form view once again it begins to operate very slowly. (yesterday was working fine on my desktop at home, I have not made any changes to the database with exception to saving and using the file this morning on the shared drive at work) If I shut down and re open it operates well but once again changing to design view causes the same issue. Sometimes compact and repair rectifies sometimes not.
Queries :: Changing Dates In A Group Of Queries
Jul 21, 2013I have written a large number of queries to gather data for a quarterly monitoring form. How do I replace the dates to update them for next quarter.For example I have written a query which counts the number of new members who started in the period 01/04/2013 to 31/07/2013. How can I change this (and the other 200 queries) without opening them all individually and manually altering it. Is there an Access equivalent of Word's Find and Replace?By the way I am using Access 2000.
View 11 Replies View RelatedQueries :: Selecting Maximum Value For Each Primary Key
Mar 9, 2014I am doing an outline design of a database system to handle the results from an archery competition in a couple of weeks.
Currently I have a table with a primary key to hold the information on the competitors (name, age etc.) and this is linked to a table via a foreign key (the archers name) to enable multiple scores to be recorded against each archer.
For the purposes of the competition only the first score shot each day is valid and so I am using a yes/no box to filter out these results.
What I would like to do is then filter the results such that only the largest of these first session scores is displayed for each archer. (i.e if archer A shoot 578 on day 1 and 585 on day 2 i would like the database to only report the 585, and similarly for the other entries).
Queries :: Deleting Duplicates Without Primary Key?
Nov 4, 2013I bounced into a big problem with Access 2010 where I cannot seem to be able to remove duplicates from a table containing millions of entries midway through a series of queries.
The table is formed like this:
Date - Serial Number - Reading 1 - Reading 2 - Reading 3
30.7.2013 - 1122334455 - 12345 - 987654 - 654321
30.7.2013 - 1122334466 - 12345 - 987654 - 654321
29.7.2013 - 1122334455 - 12210 - 987654 - 643210
29.7.2013 - 1122334455 - 12210 - 987654 - 643210
29.7.2013 - 1122334466 - 12344 - 986013 - 453213
As you can see, there are some rows which contain exact duplicates and some are a bit different. I wish to remove those fields with exact duplicates and only the duplicated fields. Running "Find duplicates" in Access gives me about 250,000 rows with such data.
I've tried a few options already:
- I cannot use the date as primary key as there are several serial numbers. I cannot use serial numbers as primary key, because there are several dates. Using reading value as primary isn't an option either.
- Microsoft says I should mark all duplicate values with an x and then make a delete query to get rid of all the x-marked rows. For 250,000 duplicates, that's a bit too much manual 'x-ing'.
- If I do a delete query using the Find Duplicates query as a base, it removes all 250,000 entries from that table, instead of just the 125,000 which had a duplicate elsewhere in the table.
- If I make a query which identifies duplicate data and gives me just one row for each duplicate, the delete query still deletes both entries from the original table.
- I could make a new query which would have only unique values using Totals as criteria (for instance, using First for the Date-column). However, this still leaves the duplicate values in the original table. Note that this database is already 800 MB large and new data is imported once a week, for the next decade or so. I cannot have a table get duplicates every week and leave it there.
- If I make a macro which would create the unique values table first and then deletes the old table, what happens next week when I try to import new readings? I would need to make a new macro each time I try to import new data as the table names change. Or is there a way to first run the unique numbers out, then replace the original table with the new one? With a 800MB database, this would put me dangerously close to the 2GB size limit. I wouldn't be able to use this as a part of a macro, as the database would have to do Compact & Repair each time it deletes the original table, midway through a longer series of queries.
- Having duplicates removed from the original import isn't an option either, as it comes in as a overriding excel sheet for the past 3 months, once a week.
As you can see, it's quite a pickle getting the duplicates out of the original table. This is just a small part of a very long macro, which takes about 15 minutes to complete, but due to duplicates the database is getting way too large.
Queries :: How To Return Only First Row Of Data Against Each Primary Key

Problems With Records/queries/subforms/primary Keys
Aug 6, 2005OK, I've tried everything I can think of with this query/subform/records problem. I've searched the internet for days, even bought some big fat Access reference books and read them cover-to-cover, but I still can't get my database to do what I want. This newbie would *really* appreciate some help...
I am trying to create a database which I can use to store client’s advertising expenses. I currently have three tables: tblListings (which stores basic information about each client, with the field ListingID as the primary key); Advertising Rates (which stores the different types of advertising products and their prices, with the field ProductNumber as the primary key); and tblAdvertisingExpenses (which stores each “order” of an advertising product, including the client’s ListingID as a foreign key, date, the type of advertising, and the total cost - the primary key is an auto-numbered field called OrderNumber).
I have a main form called frmListings, which displays the client’s information from the tblListings table, and includes a subform. I wanted the subform to show only the advertising expenses corresponding to the ListingID (ie. client) displayed on the main form, so I based the subform on a query which displays all records from tblAdvertisingExpenses with a ListingID that matches the ListingID displayed from tblListings. So far so good - the records displayed in the subform change correctly when the record in the main form changes.
Now the tricky part…
The subform displays a blank row for a new record, and I would like to be able to enter a new advertising expense in that blank record (date, type of ad, and cost), and have that data added as a new record in the tblAdvertisingExpenses table with a new auto-numbered OrderNumber. I don’t know whether it’s because the subform is actually a dynaset from a query, or because I’ve constructed the query incorrectly (highly likely, I’m still pretty new to queries), but when I add in the details for the new record, I get the following error:
The changes you requested to the table were not successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primary key, or relationship (etc, etc).
I suspect that Access is attempting to write the record (along with the ListingID) back to the tblListings table, where the same ListingID already exists (uniquely) as the primary key. But I don’t know for sure, because I don’t really know what the heck I’m doing. What I actually want to do is have the new record I’ve entered in the subform added to the tblAdvertisingExpenses table, which is the record source for the qryListings query which displays records in the subform. It shouldn’t be a problem, should it? So why can’t I get it to work? Perhaps there’s a fundamental flaw in the way I’ve broken up the database into tables, or my assigning of primary keys and foreign keys. Or perhaps there’s a flaw with the way I’ve constructed my query. Or am I forced to have a completely separate form solely for entering data into the tblAdvertisingExpenses table? Or will I need to use a macro or VBA to accomplish what I want?...
Sorry if this is terribly confusing. I can provide more specific details (and screen captures) of the tables, queries, forms, and relationships (if I haven’t provided enough specific details already), and would really appreciate any help that anyone can provide. Help?!

View 2 Replies View RelatedQueries :: Calculated Field Is Blank For Records With Even Primary Key
Jun 17, 2013I have a calculated field in a query. The field name is TotatPt (this is to calculate the total points students have earned during the term). The expression is as follows:
Code:
TotalPt: [Att1Pt]+[Att2Pt]+[Att3Pt]+[Att4Pt]+[Att5Pt]+[Att6Pt]+[Att7Pt]+[Att8Pt]+[Att9Pt]+[Att10Pt]+[Att11Pt]+[Att12Pt]+[Att13Pt]+[Att14Pt]+[Att15Pt]+[Att16Pt]+[Att17Pt]+[Att18Pt]+[Att19Pt]+[Att20Pt]+[Att21Pt]+[Quiz1Pt]+[Quiz2Pt]+[Quiz3Pt]+[Quiz4Pt]+[Quiz5Pt]+[Quiz6Pt]+[Quiz7Pt]+[Quiz8Pt]+[Quiz9Pt]+[Quiz10Pt]+[MidtermWritPt]+[FinalWritPt]+[Proc1Pt]+[Proc2Pt]+[Proc3Pt]+[Proc4Pt]+[Proc5Pt]+[Proc6Pt]+[Proc7Pt]+[Proc8Pt]+[Proc9Pt]+[Proc10Pt]+[Proc11Pt]+[Proc12Pt]+[Proc13Pt]+[Proc14Pt]+[ProcPracPt]
I think this should be no complicated expression (though a bit long) and should just add the fields together. But what I get is that the calculated field appears as expected for records with an odd primary key (1, 3, 5, 7, ...) and turns out blank for records with an even primary key (2, 4, 6, 8, ...)!
I've attached a screenshot.
