Apr 3, 2014I keep getting conversion errors, even though my field lengths and formats seem to match up. How to pursue a diagnostic for this?

Queries :: Type Conversion Failure - Error Database
Sep 2, 2014I am trying to import an Excel spreadsheet into an Access 2007 database. Each time I import, Access creates a 'type conversion failure' error database.
I set up the first field in my .db to be a TEXT field because the Field will have both numeric and text characters. The field name is [estimate number] with numbers such as 656111 or 65611A being imported. All the fields with the numeric and alphabetical combination (i.e. 65611A) are not being imported (which results in the creation of the error db).

Update - Conversion Error
May 22, 2006I have a text column of alpha-numeric fields and some start P123456, P111111, P222222 etc. I want to remove the P from these fields.
I thought the following update query would do this but gives a type conversion error, regardless if the new column to copy them to is type text or number. Can someone help explain what is wrong.
UPDATE 2006 SET D2 = CLng(RIGHT(D1,LEN(D1-1)))
WHERE LEFT(D1,1)="P";
Thanks,
Andy
TransferSpreadsheet - Data Conversion Error
Apr 3, 2007I am importing an Excel file of production data into a table using the TransferSpreadsheet method. Here is a snippet of the code:
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, , "tblMPSDATA", _
"" & stFilePath & "", True, ""
Everything works fine except the column which contains 'Material' holds both numeric and alpha-numeric values. For example these are both material numbers: 156952 and 1238707-202. The data in this column is formatted as General. The data type for Material in tblMPSDATA is Text, 18 character length. The alpha-numeric materials are all at the end of the file. When I import, an error table is created listing the alpha-numeric materials with the error 'Type Conversion Failure'. But if I have an alpha-numeric material in the first row of data then everything is imported just fine.
I have set up a nice little popup form with a file path and command button for controlling the process of bringing in this data. I really do not want to have to add special instructions about making sure the Excel data is sorted in a certain manner prior to importing. Any thoughts on why Access is not treating everything in this column as text?
Thanks,
JAB

Type Conversion Failure - I Don't Want To See The Error Message.
Jul 21, 2005Good afternoon all,
I have a macro that I run. In this macro, I've changed the "SetWarnings" to No. This works since I do not get a "Are you sure..." when I do a makeTable query and the table already exists.
However, I do get a type conversion failure error message.
Does someone know how I click Yes on this without any intervention on my part when the macro is running? Would entering keystrokes in the macro work? I don't think that they will since the next command is not called until the previous has executed ... and I'm getting hung up on the dialog box before the make-table command has finished execution.
I've attached the error message text that I'm seeing.
Thank you for your time and help.
CREATE TABLE In Access Database Syntax Error..
Aug 13, 2006Hi folks.. I'm trying to dynamicly create a table in an existing ACCESS database..
Here's wat i'm using:
PHP Code:<%
strDB = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("../../../imgdbase/vrienden.mdb") & ";Uid=Admin;Pwd=mljiscool;"
sql = "CREATE TABLE " & request("login") & " (id INT(10) PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT, email VARCHAR(155), gevalideerd VARCHAR(10) DEFAULT 'nee', inlogCount INT(10) DEFAULT 0, lastLogin DATETIME)"
Set DBConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
DBConn.Open strDB
DBConn.Execute sql
DBConn.close

Code:I'm getting this error:Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in CREATE TABLE statement./mljnew/welcomeportal/registration/registration/test.asp, line 7
What am I doing wrong ??? The code here is probably the MySql correct code (Access uses different data types / field names ???) Hope somebody can help me out, because I can't find the correct data types anywhere ! (like use TEXT instead of VARCHAR, that's all I know...)
Here's the actual sql i'm using (displayed by response.write sql):
CREATE TABLE roel (id INT(10) PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT, email VARCHAR(155), gevalideerd VARCHAR(10) DEFAULT 'nee', inlogCount INT(10) DEFAULT 0, lastLogin DATETIME)
Thnx !!!!

Modules & VBA :: Opening A Query With Parameters - Data Type Conversion Error
Jun 11, 2013Here's my Goal: To open a saved query that has a parameter, setting that parameter via a VBA sub.
Here's my Problem: I was getting various errors, but after debugging my program a bit, it comes down to a "Data Type Conversion Error"
Here's my Code:
Set db = CurrentDb
Set qd = db.QueryDefs("qryMY_DATA")
qd.Parameters(0) = Me.txt_ReferenceID
Set rs = qd.OpenRecordset("qryMY_DATA", dbDynaset)
Code:
'*** Database Variables
Dim db As DAO.Database, rs As DAO.Recordset, gq As DAO.QueryDef, prm As DAO.Recordset
I've been all over the forums and tried several different approaches, all to no avail. The Query runs fine in the QDT, but kicks back an error when I try to run it from my sub.
Create Table Or Use Queries?
Feb 4, 2008I have a dilemma. I need my app to print out legally binding property schedules for insurance purposes. A property can have any number of schedules created during a year according to how many changes are made.
My instinct is to use a set of nested queries to generate the reports and then save them as snapshots should they need to be referred to later (they will!!).
However I have just been wondering if I should create a new table that gets populated with the full data for each property schedule when one is printed so that there is a definitive and tangible record for each schedule.
The latter seems like not good practice within Access as I know it but I have this niggling hunch that it might be the right approach for this app. On the lazier note it would also make re-creation or subsequent investigation very much easier than having a whole sequence of horribly dynamic queries!
Does anyone have anything similar (sure someone does) and what did they do?
Thanks for any input

Queries :: How To Create A Quarter Field In A Table
Jul 12, 2013I have a Date field in the format X/XX/2012 for all my records.
I want to create a field that labels each record according to its quarter. So if a date is 3/29/2012, I'd want the corresponding field entry to be: Q1 2012. If it's 3/29/2013, I'd want it to be: Q1 2013, etc.
I guess I would run an update query, but I don't know how to build the proper expression in order to update my table with a new field.
I have figured out how to create a quarter #, but I actually need output in the format mentioned above.
Queries :: Create And View Both Forms Using Same Table
May 23, 2013I am using a query as part of a mail merge, there are two forms that use the query, create and view, both forms use the same table. When I click the print button the query runs, and mail merges in a word document.
What I need is a filter on the query which only shows the record currently open on which ever of the forms is open, so the mail merge only happens for the 1 record you want.
Queries :: Create Summary Query For Each Table?
Dec 5, 2013I have three tables with data.
Table1 is data for meals.
Table2 is data for room costs.
Table3 is data for payments made.
Each of these tables has a foreign key for EventID.I'm trying to produce a report that will show, for each EventID:
The total billed (which is meals + rooms)
The total paid (from Table3)
The balance due (the difference from the two above).
Do I have to create summary queries for each table?

View 3 Replies View RelatedQueries :: Date Conversion Comparison Not Working?
Nov 8, 2013I recently (temporarily)took over a position that uses an Access database that does not work properly, and I'm stumpped on how to fix it.
The query is supposed to pull all data where the "Date Overdue" field is less than today.
"Date Overdue" is a calculated value that pulls from the field "Date Input", which is in a text format (DDMMMYY) Such as 03NOV13. It is 8 days after the date input.
It prints out like this: "Monday, November 11, 2013" which is 8 days after the 3rd.
"Date Overdue" is set to this value:
Code:
DATE OVERDUE: DateValue(Left([DATEINPUT],2) & "/" & Mid([DATEINPUT],3,3) & "/" & Right([DATEINPUT],2))+8
"Date Overdue" has the criteria "<DateValue(CDate(Now()))"
I'm not going to go into all the different steps I've taken to try and get this to work because I've toyed with it a lot..
The output that I always seem to get is a mixture of all records that are available, before and after today's date, I just wanted those that are less than today.
I suspect that the date values that are shown in the query aren't true dates because when I click on the filter button it gives me this error:
"Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'DATE OVERDUE' "
NOTE: I'd like to add that this is just a regular Select query.
Code:
SELECT DateValue(Left([DATEINPUT],2) & "/" & Mid([DATEINPUT],3,3) & "/" & Right([DATEINPUT],2))
AS [PRODUCT END PERIOD], DateValue(Left([DATEINPUT],2) & "/" & Mid([DATEINPUT],3,3) & "/" & Right([DATEINPUT],2))+8
AS [DATE OVERDUE], [QBR ON EQUIP].DATEINPUT, [ALL ERRORS].[ERROR STATUS],

Queries :: Using Jet SQL To Create Numbered Hierarchy In Access Table
Oct 24, 2013I am trying to create a named hierarchy based off a table from an Oil & Gas Program ARIES. The code below is as far as I could get:
Code:
SELECT dbo_AC_ECONOMIC.PROPNUM
, dbo_AC_ECONOMIC.SEQUENCE
, dbo_AC_ECONOMIC.SECTION
, dbo_AC_ECONOMIC.QUALIFIER
, dbo_AC_ECONOMIC.KEYWORD
, dbo_AC_ECONOMIC.EXPRESSION
, (SELECT COUNT(*)
[Code] ....
The results are as such:
PROPNUM...SECTION...SEQUENCE...QUALIFIER...KEYWORD ...EXPRESSION...TEST
TEST1.......4................1.................TAG .............GTC/GAS.......03.................1
TEST1.......4................2.................TAG ............."..................22................ ..1
TEST1.......4................3.................TAG ............."..................22................ ..2
TEST1.......4................4.................TAG .............SHRINK.........1...................1
TEST1.......5................1.................TAG .............ATX...............5.................. .1
TEST1.......5................2.................TAG .............ATX...............5.................. .2
TEST2.......4................1.................TAG .............GTC/GAS.......03.................1
TEST2.......4................2.................TAG ............."..................22................ ..1
The desired Results:
PROPNUM...SECTION...SEQUENCE...QUALIFIER...KEYWORD ...EXPRESSION...TEST...KEYWORD2
TEST1.......4................1.................TAG .............GTC/GAS.......03.................1........GTC/GAS_1
TEST1.......4................2.................TAG ............."..................22................ ..2........GTC/GAS_2

TEST1.......5................1.................TAG .............ATX..............5................... 1........ATX_1
TEST1.......5................2.................TAG .............ATX..............5................... 1........ATX_1
TEST2.......4................1.................TAG .............GTC/GAS.......03.................1........GTC/GAS_1
TEST2.......4................2.................TAG ............."..................22................ ..2........GTC/GAS_2
First I will give background on the table and fields. Then I will explain the overall goal for creating of the TEST and KEYWORD 2 fields.
BACKGROUND
PROPNUM: UNIQUE ID
SECTION: Set of data responsible for a certain function EX: section 4 - expenses, section 5 - interest, etc.
SEQUENCE: The order of the sytanx in that propnum's section
QUALIFIER: Qualifies multiples set of syntax per section to differentiate other work (NOT REALLY IMPORTANT for the query)
KEYWORD: A specific word that the program recognizes and treates the expression according to the key word * the quotes keyword is a continuation line and represent the keyword above it*
EXPRESSION: are the variables that are treated by program according to the keyword
OVERALL GOAL: The main goal is to have a spreadsheet of variables used by the program to calculate it's end result. Which means KEYWORD & EXPRESSION by PROPNUM. THE PROBLEM is that the only way to tell that a quote keyword belongs is by having the sequence and section lined up. So my solution is to rename the quote keyword with the primary keyword and a number.

View 6 Replies View RelatedQueries :: Create Separate Columns From Same Field And Table
Apr 9, 2013I have 1 table that I duplicated to make 3 tables total. I did this b/c I am trying to create separate columns from the same field and table. The field is Workorder. Each workorder list the workorder number followed by a dash and then code. I am wanting to put all of the workorders with the same code in it's own column.
I have 5 codes that i am searching for. The first column list the workorder and a code (123456789-AD). The second column (123456789-BC). I'm good to this point but my problem occurs next.
The third column i am trying to put 3 types of workorder and it's code in the same column. As follows, (123456789-CD, 123456789-TC, and 123456789-PTC. However, when I do this it takes the results from the 3rd column and applies it to the 3rd column but also the 1st and 2nd column. I tried a UNION query and unless I am doing it incorrectly it does not work.
Queries :: Create Table Query From Multiple Fields?
Aug 14, 2013i essentially have 2 table:
1. Table BIC
A list of codes that will be updated monthly, which will be the basis for querying the second table. Approx 100 rows of data.
2. Table Original
A data file obtained from IT where i'll need to sort it to find any codes that are including in Table1. This includes approx ~ 10,000 row of data.
** note, the "BIC" from "Table BIC" can appear in any of the 5 BIC columns in Table Original.
What i need to do is create a query that will:
1. Search the "BIC" from "Table BIC" in all 5 columns of "Table Original".
2. Where it has a hit, it will create new table - for example, the first row of table Original includes the BIC "ABC" in the "BIC 1" column. A query would create table "ABC" and place this whole record (all 8 fields) in new table "ABC". No modification needed.
3. Where two (or more) BIC's from "Table BIC" appear in one record in "Table Original" - the result will only need to be placed in one of the new tables (really doesn't matter which one). For example, Record #4 includes the BIC "ABC" in field "BIC1" and the BIC "DEF" in the field "BIC4". Therefore, a new table would be created (either ABC or DEF) to capture this information.

Queries :: Create Single Table Using Multiple Criteria
Aug 29, 2013I am having trouble creating a query where I am trying to count number of records for different fields for a particular criteria, and combine the results into a single table.
My table is in the form,
TimeandDate,WS127m_Avg,WS82m_Avg....
I want to count those records where a 9999 is reported, and report by month. For a single field I can do this OK using,
SELECT DateSerial(Year([TimeandDate]),Month([TimeandDate]),1) AS [Month], Count(WS127m_Avg) AS 9999s
FROM CL_AllData
WHERE (((WS127m_Avg)=9999))
GROUP BY DateSerial(Year([TimeandDate]),Month([TimeandDate]),1);
I can't figure out how to report an additional field (WS82m_Avg) at the same time, checking for the same criteria in that field (i.e. WS82m_Avg = 9999).
