Queries :: Create A Form To Run Append Query
Jul 19, 2013
I am creating a database for users that no nothing about access nor do they want to learn. So the database needs to be as simple as possible.
This being the case I would like to avoid users from creating/editing querys.
I would like to have a form that would run the append query. The query would have a date column and a status column that the query would filter.
The query would have a criteria for status that would equal to "BACKED OUT" and the date would need to link to the two text fields on the form. My problem is writing the VBA code to make the query append in the background.
For sake of argument:
Query = qryappend
Form = frmappend
Table = tblappend

I am trying to create a query to append new records from my NEW database into my old excel database.....
The old DB has 4-5 extra tabs that the NEW database does not have so when I append, in those extra columns the new database will just have blank records since the column doesn't exist.
Usually I do a append query in design view. but sometimes it gets funny because it creates duplicates...
How would I go about it, so its quicker and persistent like creating a macro excel.

I have created a linked Excel table in Access 2010 called 'tblExcelLinked' and I have a form called 'ASB Log Form' for the purposes of presenting the data in a more readable manner that is easier to view, plus link other fields of data that are not directly related to the 'tblExcelLinked'.
Because there is no unique ID in the 'tblExcelLinked' to create a relationship, I have created a table called 'tblASB', which allows me to add other table data linked from same d/b.
I now want to update the 'tblASB' with data from the 'tblExcelLinked', but only append new records from 'tblExcelLinked', but my inadequate append query is duplicating the records each time I run it, rather than just adding the new ones.
Once sorted my next challenge is a macro so that this runs automatically rather than being manually triggered.

So, I've been searching through this forum and can't seem to find the answer to this one. I would like to capture a value from a main form and have it used as a value in an append query, in order to populate a subform based on the main form, like so:
INSERT INTO tblTakenSurveys ( VisitID, SurveyQuestionID, ResponseCodeID) SELECT Forms![frmMyFormName]!VisitID, tblSurveyQuestions.SurveyQuestionID, 66
FROM SurveyQuestions WHERE SurveyID = 3;
Might help to explain some of the terms in this statement:
tblTakenSurveys is where I need the new data to be entered via the subform.
Forms![frmMyFormName]!VisitID is a textbox control bound to a PK in another table that has a one-to-many relationship with tblTakenSurveys.
tblTakenSurveys.ResponseCodeID is a foreign key that represents respondents actual answers to questions.
66 is a value for a ResponseCodeID that stands for a dummy value meaning "data not yet entered"
As per advice I received from others on this forum, I have set a query like the above to run from a command button to populate the subform (in theory). But I'm sure I've done something wrong within the query because it will not return a value from the form "VisitID" control and therefore will not append the rows. Without the appended rows, my subform will not populate. And this has me running in circles...
I pasted the link to another thread below, where I originally received a lot of input as far as the table structure. I did not start this one, but my posts are the most recent (as of now anyway). Pat Hartman had given me a lot of the guidance here.

Hi All,
I have 2 tables like below:
TableA:
- Customer
- Customer Industry
Table B:
- Customer
- Project
Each customer has many projects.
My ultimate goal is to create a table like this:
Table C:
- Customer
- Project
- Customer Industry
Trouble is, tables A and B are updated by different persons. A project is usually created first before someone creates the entry in Table A to enter the customer's industry. If someone forgets to update Table A, I will see entries in Table C with industry of customers as blank - which i don't want to.
What is the best way to do this?
I'm thinking of running some sort of queries that will automatically create an entry in Table A when a new customer project has been entered in Table B, so that the person responsible for Table A knows to enter in the industry - but i don't really know how to start, could you help please?
Merry x'mas all!

Hi, everyone. I've been reading this forum for several days now and the information I have picked up here has been wonderful. Thanks. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find what I'm looking for on a problem I'm having. I apologize for the long post, but I wanted to include as much information as possible. Thanks for taking the time to look at my problem.
My Background: I am a Computer Managed Maintenance System Planner for a foundry. I am responsible for the administration of all maintenance and repair records for the plant’s mobile equipment (dump trucks, fork lifts, etc.) I’ve been using Access as a report writer for several years. I have pretty good understanding of report writing and basic query writing, although I have never used pivot tables or crosstab queries, and I have only used amend/update queries a few times. I have a novice’s understanding of relational databases and I recently picked up a book on VB for MS Applications and have been devouring it. The rest of my limited VB knowledge comes from reading these forums, so my programming knowledge is still in its infancy.
What I’m Using: I am on a network that uses Windows 2K, to which I have only regular user privileges. We use an Oracle database (it is used for everything in the plant) with a third party CMMS. I use Access 2002 to do my report writing. I have a small database set up that contains links to the necessary tables in Oracle and a few tables I created to help “massage” my data for queries and reports.
My Problem: Our CMMS app is only set up to retain the current and the previous hour meter/mileage readings. I need to be able to retain all my hour/mileage readings, however, so that I can track up/down time, utilization, etc., over several different periods of time, including years.
What I Want To Be Able To Do: I want to archive my hour/cycle readings in a table so that I can reference them for later queries and reports. A couple of typical questions I want to be able to ask of this information are
1)“What was the last known hour/mileage reading for this/all equipment on <date>?”
2)“How many hours/miles have passed between <date1> and <date2>?”
What I Have Done So Far: I’ve done research into crosstab queries and pivot tables. I don’t fully understand these, but they don’t seem to be what I’m looking for. I could be wrong, though. Then I got to thinking that the easiest thing for me to do might be to make a button on my main form that would run a query to append the hour data from the db to a table I made to store the info (tblMeterArchive). The table would have a column for the Equipment# and then the append query would create a new column with today’s date as the heading and dump the data into it. The problem is I can’t figure out how to get a query to add a column to a table and stick today’s date in the heading. I’ve searched these forums and I’ve done a Google, to no avail. I have even taken time to just start going through every thread to see if this sort of thing has been discussed before. So far I haven’t found anything and my boss is getting a bit peeved at the hours I have spent working on this so far this week.
So, my question is can an append query create new columns in a table? Or, am I barking up the wrong the tree and there is a better/easier to accomplish my goals? Even a link or pointer to the proper way to search for the information I need would be much appreciated.
Thanks again for taking the time to look at my problem.

I'm receiving an error indicating there is a data type mismatch when running a query named qappInventoryTakeOn.
Data is entered into the Inventory Transaction Form. If the transaction type is "Take On", when the update button is clicked the record will be saved to tblInventoryMovements and then qappInventoryTakeOn should run to update tblInventory, but I keep running into the aforementioned error.

I have a database of Assessments, each record having multiple subforms.
I am working on a button, which creates a "similar" (same) assessment, copying over all the subform records/selections.
So, after I actually insert a new assessment, pasting all the values from the original Assessment:
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSelectRecord
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdCopy
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdPasteAppend
I need to copy over subform contents, for which I use an Append Query (actually, I use its SQL in VBA code to pass it the right parameters).
Now, naturally, I ran into Key Violations, because taking 50 sub-records from the original they would have their own AutoNumber Keys (ID's) and I can't append them into the same table.
My question: how do I copy over the same records (appending FROM and TO the same table) but cause the table to insert AutoNumbers for the records being appended?
Thanks!

I am trying to create a query that takes values from a search form and provides records. I was having issues with getting results when some boxes on the form were left blank. I found a solution to that and it worked with a small number of fields. However when I make the full form query (about 8-10 fields) and run it says the query is too complex. I wrote the sql as I could not get designer to do what I wanted. Attached is the sql that works and that which is "too complex".

In some cases I create pass-through queries and use these in an Append or Make-table query to bring data locally.
All is well and fine until source data changes and the pass-through query runs too long and times out.
If needed, I can extend the timeout value in the Parameters of the pass-through query no problem, but when I try to open the Append or Make-table query in Design view to do the same, the pass-through query is first triggered and then throws the timeout, and I cannot access the Design view of the Append or Make-table
Is there a way to open an Append or Make-table query in Design view without invoking the source query?

I have a form(frmNewTest) that generates a fitness test id when you enter the month and year (you do not need to enter anything in the Fitness test id field which is greyed out).
This data on the form should then append to the tblFitnessTest. However, when I select the button to add test it returns a message 0 rows to append.I have attached the database and the form in question (frmNewTest). There are two append queries attached to the button on the form and neither work correctly. I have tried almost everything but can't get it to work.

I am having fun with key violations and cant seem to find out why?
I basically am deleting a Job but when i delete it i want to archive it hence the 'Archive' query and the History Tables.
It seems to be pasting everything in fine apart from the 'EmpJobHistory' Table?
I am getting the usual message "Key violations"?
I think i need the intermediate 'EmpJobHistory' Table because there will be Employees that are related to many Jobs and vice versa.

I am trying to copy notes from one table to another table where a condition has to be met and I can't figure out how to do that in an APPEND query.
Each record has a unique number that comes into my Initial Table in my Access database from a construction program I download. In this particular table both the [DNJTNo] and [DNVersionNmbr] fields can have duplicate numbers. However, when I run the query I want it to add a record to the second table only after the query checks that the [DNJTNo] in combination with the [DNVersionNmbr], is not already in the table. If it is, I do NOT want it appended to the second table. (I have attached a picture of the query in APPEND design stage).

I have a list of dates in my Form1.
When I click on a date it opens Form2 to show that dates specific details.
I would like a macro on Form2 that appends the filtered results to another table.
I think I am just struggling with the references to Form2 in the append query criteria.

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 would like to use an append query that appends data from a union query into a table, but doesn't add duplicates based on a certain field.
I have been trying to use this code, but it doesnt seem to work.
INSERT INTO [Cotton13/14]
SELECT DISTINCT [Contracted Farmers].*
FROM [Contracted Farmers]
WHERE NOT (SELECT * FROM [Cotton13/14] FROM [Cotton13/14] AS [Cotton13/14] WHERE [Cotton13/14].[OF Codec] = [Contracted Farmers].[OF Codec])
Cotton13/14 is the table I want to append to and Contracted Farmers is the union query. However the code is giving me an error.

I am looking to make an invoicing database.
I create 30 invoices a month. each client gets billed the same amount each month (for example Customer A gets billed $100 every month, Customer B gets charged $200 each month). Only two things get changed on the invoice-'Description' (for example the description would be 'services rendered for July 2014' for July invoice) and 'Invoice Date'.
Now please see the image attached, I have an append query that combines information and creates invoices for all 30 clients.
The problem is, the 'Invoice No' field in the invoice table stays empty, because I do not know how to start numbering at a specific point (for example invoice numbering should start at 14150001) and I want it to add the number (+1) automatically when this append query adds data to the invoice table.

I receive the data from engineering team lets name it as MAster database( in DB2 database - Read only ) and then i want to assign the data to each member and staus will be updated by them.So my Idea is upload the data from Engineering team (MAster database) to my (Local database), i think of using Append query if there is any changes in engineeiring data after i append the data then i can use the Update query to modify the data.
But once i assign the job to every member from my Localdatabase, i want it to stored in a data base with their name because it is a huge volume data and it will go for years.The bottleneck is If i use the Append query here, the changes from Masterdatabase to Locadatabase will not reflect in Team members database? is any solution for this or i have to use the Update query in Localdatabase and also in Team memers database?

I want an append query to create a new record in a table and populate that record with fields from a form. Some of these fields are free text, others are from combo boxes.The append query adds vastly too many records (albeit all populated with precisely the same information) - and the number it adds seems to depend on which combo box options I choose.
I have a similar append query which pulls information from earlier records in the table, and combines that with free text and combo boxes on a near-identical form, which works fine and always just adds one row.

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.
