Table1 has a record of unique tasks.
Table2 has a list of people to do those tasks
They are linked by a Unique_ID (one to many - Table1 to Table2).Sometimes there can be an instance where there are Unique_ID's in Table2 but the reference Unique_ID is missing from Table1.
I have a select query that can show me these like so.
table2 table1
Unique_ID Unique_ID
Like * Not Like *
I can open the query and simply delete the records fine however i wish to automate this.What I want to do is delete the unrefenced Unique_ID's from table2.I have tried to just convert this select query into a delete query but it asks me which table I wish to delete and I cannot see where to enter this information.
I have a delete query where i want to delete only the row that contains the max value of the IDnum field from the table STM, where it links two tables on CellTell
I currently have this:
DELETE DISTINCTROW STM.*, STM.IDNum FROM dpl_00c_tbl_StmCellDups INNER JOIN STM ON dpl_00c_tbl_StmCellDups.STM_CellTel = STM.CellTel WHERE (((STM.IDNum)=(select max(IDNum) from `STM`)));
It doesn't want to throw out any values when i run it, or view it.
Can we have two tables linked to one search query? I've some data that is confidential and woul like to have them in two different table. When I search for it using query form, only the relevant table results will be shown?
I'm trying to delete data (no archiving required) from 5 tables that all have a one-to-many relationship between them and keep getting the following error: "Could not delete from specified tables".
I've tried everything I can think of including the following:
* Set unique records property to 'Yes' * Enable referential integrity and cascade delete records in the relationship diagram * Checked the DB isn't read only * Have correct permissions to delete records
I'm the only person in the database but I'm at a loss and short of me actually deleting the 23891 records manually I can't think of what else to do!
I am new'ish to access, although we have had an SQL server 2000 backend for some time, it has purely been used for our MIS systems, now I want to develop using Access 2003 as the front end, and SQL as the backend, however, I don't know the most effective way to link to the data on SQL, I can use either linked tables through Access, or not use linked tables and just send SQL queries to the server using vba code, I am not sure which would be the best solution to creating a new application.
Any ideas whether I should use linked tables or fire off vba SQL queries ?
I was able to create a query that selects records from one table that have several fields which don't match with another table.
The end-game with this query is to have it delete the records in table 1 that don't match records in table 2. The delete query tells me that it could not delete from specified tables.
I've attached the select query, the delete query and the error, and the relationship table for the db.
i keep getting an error "could not delete from specified tables"
I have a table with this data
Main table bub|12345|1 bub|45678|2 bub|91011|3
Child Table bub|45678|2
result in Main table
bub|12345|1 bub|91011|3
match from child table and delete from main table.. but i keep getting error "Could not delete from specified table main table has unique records. and it is primary key..
I have set up a table (A) that is linked to another table(B) in my database. This linked table (A) is then used in a number of queries. When the data in the original table (A) is updated it does update the data in the linked table (B) as it should. However, when I run the queries they do not bring up any records. It seems that they are not looking at an updated version of the linked table (A) because if I rebuild the query it finds the records as it should. Any advice on this would be very gratefully received.
I'd like to secure my frontend by disabling access to the linked tables, queries etc. I thought converting to .accde would do this but apparently not. Is there a way that this can be achieved?
I am aware that I can disbale the ribbons etc but they can all be turned back on using the options menu.
Please, anyone know how to delete few table's record by using one query ? I want to delete 10 tables, all the records inside at one times. I tried there is only one tables at a time. Is that imposible to do that?
I am trying to create a query based on two tables with a many to many relationship.
The basic sketch of this relationship is one table has our employee information and the other has the phone information. Employees share some phone numbers so it has to be many to many and I have an employee_phone linking table.
When I create a query, I have no records in my phone or my employee_phone tables, but my employee table has a full list of employees. I want to use the query to enter the phone numbers in for existing employees, however when I put in the employee's name and then add the phone information, it creates a new record in the employee field. I just want it to tie new phone information to existing employee records.
If anyone can help me with this, I would be very greatful! Thanks
When this query runs I want the popup parameter to open and ask for an ChID number. User enters that number and it deletes that record. I cant figure out what to enter on the criteria line. I have [ChID] and that wipes all records. I tried = [ChID] and it does not run.
I am wondering if there is a quicker way to export a query to excel then have the data in that query removed from the original table. (effectively cutting the data from the table and exporting to excel)
I understand that this can be done by exporting the query to excel then running the same query as a delete query to remove the data but I just wondered if this is the most efficient way.
I have experience of VB in excel but currently only use the basic macro builder in Access though if Access VB is more efficient I can easily learn.
I am having difficulty deleting records in a linked DBF (standalone) table. The table links fine. I can run a delete query and the records appear to be deleted when I view the table from within Access. However, when I view the table outside of Access, the records that I thought were deleted are still there. The only way I can actually delete the records, is to import the table, delete the records and then export the table as a new DBF.
Can someone tell me why deleting from the linked table isn't working?
My goal is to get a huge amount of data paired down so that I can work with it in Excel.
I started with a 14 million record text file provided by a government agency. I used a text editor to break that into 7 2-million record files to fit into Access.
I figure I can filter each of those files down to 500,000 or so records, so that I can manipulate them in Excel. The problem is, when I open a text file in Access, Access insists on linking it, and then I can't delete data from a linked file.
Please could you advise me if tables have to be linked in order to perform a query on multiple tables? For example searching for a date and matching records on more than one table at the same time.
I have a number of linked tables that vary depending on use. How to delete them or drop them all from the database? I produced/stole some code that deleted all tables - but it didn't delete the linked ones.
Okay I have 2 tables and I used queries to filter and delete the info off those tables. Now I combined the 2 tables by using a query which is query 1. What I found was a few cells that are blank cells.
I tried creating another query based on query 1 from the 2 tables to try and delete it but it won't work. I tried everything and nothing seems to work. I can't filter the data since I am creating another query called query 3 to display the final results.
I have a database with a number of linked tables that are linked to tables in different databases (not a back-end).for example, I have table1 that is linked to table1 in K:databasedb1.mdb.table2 linked to table2 in S:datadata.mdb.and so on...
However, recently we have moved all our databases to a new location.
K:databasedb1.mdb is now residing in O:masterdatabase and S:datadata.mdb is now residing in O:masterdata and so on...
I'm now in charge of relinking all those tables to point to the new location.I would do this in linked table manager one by one but we have 100s of tables linked to multiple different databases in different location.is there a way to create a VBA code that will automatically do this re-linking process?
so, 1. find unlinkable tables 2. search its new location under O:master 3. re-link it to the new location
Database names and tables names have not been changed. Just the location of databases.
Hi everybody. I got a query that displays object name and object type of access 2000 db. Unfortuenly it dose not display the linked tables objects(linked to tables in acccess 2000 db). could an expert tell me how i can fix this query so it displays linked tables object as well.Thanks
SELECT MsysObjects.Name AS ObjectName, IIf([type]=1 Or [type]=6,"Table","Query") AS ObjectType FROM MsysObjects WHERE (((Left$([Name],1))<>"~") AND ((Left$([Name],4))<>"Msys") AND ((MsysObjects.Type)=1 Or (MsysObjects.Type)=5 Or (MsysObjects.Type)=6) AND ((MsysObjects.Flags)=2097152 Or (MsysObjects.Flags)=128 Or (MsysObjects.Flags)=0 Or (MsysObjects.Flags)=16)) ORDER BY MsysObjects.Name;

I have a Unmatched query that displays what I need but I want to clean up my database and remove them but its not letting me. See sql below.
Code: DELETE Warranty FROM Warranty LEFT JOIN Serials_Repair ON Warranty.[Serial] = Serials_Repair.[Serials_Repair] WHERE (((Serials_Repair.Serials_Repair) Is Null));
I changed "Delete" it was "Select" thinking that would work but it does not.
I created 3 find unmatched queries from the query wizard. The first one works great. I can delete a record in the query and it deletes the record in the main table.
The second one allows me to delete a record and gives me the pop up box that says " you are about to delete 1 record". I click yes, but when I check the table or reopen the query the same record reappears.
The third query does not even give me the option to delete.
I can create a regular select query and delete the records form 2nd and 3rd but not from the queries made from the unmatched wizard.
I am using the same fields in all 3 queries.
I do not have enforce referential integrity or the other 2 options checked in the relationship properties. (not sure if this makes a difference.)
I even tried to redo the unmatched queries but I get the same result for all 3.
I want to be able to delete the records in the other 2 queries.
