Queries :: Field Is Empty - Query To Update Table But No Result
Feb 26, 2015
I have a created a query which I want to update a table. The field is called DTP. I have the Workingdays2 module in place as well as the Holidays Table. The dates (date only) are called Time in and Transaction date. I want the table to update records only if the entry in Completed is Yes. I have attached screenshot of what I have in query. I am no good whatsoever at VBA so I used the Query design view. It shows how many records will be updated (which is a valid number) and shows me which field will be updated. However when I run the query and then opend the Table the DTP field is empty.
I am just querying a single table, no relationship involved with another table. As you can see form the attached jpeg, the ZIP field in some cases is empty. I would run a search using Is NULL but the field is NOT numerical. It's a long story but I had to make this field a TEXT field. Basically, what statement do I have to insert in the criteria field to just pull up the EMPTY ZIP fields?
I am working with Access 2010, on vista. What I have is a query made up of two tables, one product the other inventory. (see below) query.jpg
In the product table i have a field called "minimum reorder level". In the inventory table i have two fields one called "number in stock" and "number on order". What i want to happen is "number on order" to be filtered by the result, if the "number in stock", is less than "minimum reorder level", if it is, have the result placed in the "number on order" field. EG. if the "number in stock" = 2 and the "minimum reorder level" = 5 then 3 would be placed in the field "number on order" and only the second record from the query would be visible (see below) Query result.jpg The result of this would mean that the field "number on order" would be populated with the result and the and query would also use this to filter the record.
I have a small problem: I have a table with over 20 columns. In every column there are some 1's, but the other cells or tuples are empty. In these empty cells I want to write a 0. So I need an UPDATE query.
But what should I write for the WHERE condition? So he should check every cell and if there's no 1, write a 0.
I currently have the sql below... UPDATE tbl_Node_List INNER JOIN qryUpdate_P1 ON tbl_Node_List.Zip = qryUpdate_P1.[Zip Code] SET tbl_Node_List.[Date Sent] = (SELECT [MinOfAudit Date] FROM qryUpdate_P1), tbl_Node_List.[Date Recv'd] = (SELECT [MaxOfAudit Date] FROM qryUpdate_P1) WHERE (((tbl_Node_List.Zip)="35243"));
but I get an err.msg stating the operation must use an updateable query.
What I am trying to do is update my dates in 'tableA' with the max and min values stored in 'tableB'. I have read some of the posts but still can't quite get it. As always all help is appreciated.
I have a form, which i use to book in products received. What i want to do is if the quantity received is equal to what was ordered then i'd like to update a yes/no field (Order Complete) on a separate table to true.
Let's say Table (T1) has fields F1 and F2. After a massive update to T1, there are some records with F1 = "" because a Dlookup using F2 as criteria to another Table (T2) resulted in a null. I created a select query to show unique T1F2 values where T1F1 = "". The user can use this query to find out which F2 values need to be added to T2.
How do I create an update query that will update T1F1 with values from T2 using the T1F2 results from the select query to again use the Dlookup to T2 (of course after T2 has been updated to contain the missing F2's)?
there is a query which i made which counts data from two tables RAUTH AND PERS
SELECT RAUTH.coy, RAUTH.Auth, Count(RAUTH.coy) AS Held FROM pers INNER JOIN RAUTH ON pers.coy = RAUTH.coy GROUP BY RAUTH.coy, RAUTH.Auth;
THERE IS A BLANK FIELD NAMED HELD in table RAUTH i want to update the held result which i quired into HELD fiedl of RAUTH table where COY (Field) is COY field of PERS table
RAUTH table structure

How to take the results of query and copy them to a column in a table?
I am using sharepoint and ms access together, and Sharpoint in this instance will not reference the result of the query. I can only use table fields with Sharepoint...major pain....
Example, I need riders name, weight and height from the column in ALL INfo query to automatically fill the column table in ALL Info
1. I created a table that contains information about people and their details (mainly numerical info). 2. I created a form containing a command button and a label. 3. I have written a VBA script under the button so that when the button is pressed, the result of the calculation appears as the caption on the label.
My problem is...How do I get the script to run so it does the calculation for every record and places the result as a field in a query.
I am trying to update a field with the result of what is in the field plus the contents of a unbound form field.
So if crm_order_det.Qty contained the number 5 and the form field (labelled qty) contained 7 I would like the field crm_order_det.Qty to end up with 12.
I have an "order details" table that needs to populate a field called "Voucher" with data from another table called "codes". The "codes" table also has a true/false field called "allocated" because once allocated the code cannot be re-used.
I am trying to work out how to automatically allocate the next unallocated code in the "codes" table to each record in the "order details" table when that order details record has a DiscountID of "92".
Order Details Table Fields and conditions/criteria: ID - primary key DiscountID - only when the DiscountID = 92 Voucher - only populated when Discount ID = 92
Codes table Fields and conditions/criteria: ID - primary key code = text field with a code like "einstein01", "einstein02" Allocated = False
Is there a way to put the next available code into the order details record then mark that code as allocated in the codes table. Then, move on to the next order details record that has a discountID = 92, input the next unallocated code and mark that code etc. etc.
Ideally, I would like to do this to happen via an event when the Order forms button "Close" is clicked.
I am programming an Acess Database, the primary data come from an excel sheet. Since Access one to many relationship only works for primary key and another field in another table as foreign key, I can't have normalized database.
I will explain what I mean with a hypothetical situation.
So, let's say I have two tables: WindowT1, CustomerT2.
WindowT1 has fields: WinID (the pk), WindowName. CustomerT2 fields include CustID (pk), CustomerName, WindowName, WinID.
So, in table "CustomerT2', WinID is the foreign key and I need that field filled in to make one-to-many relationship between these two tables to work. CustomerName and WindowName will be imported and prefilled already from an excel file with append query.
My question is can I make a update query (after the initial append query that brings in the data into Access) such that the criteria is matching WindowName (from CustomerT2) and the update would be the corresponding WinID (the pk number from WindowT1) that would be filled in the field WinID (in CustomerT2)? I know for this to work tables must have relationship and I did that.
Is there a better way to accomplish this task? i.e. through a form (remember info will be prefilled, so can't use combo box to fill in another form field) or maybe can I do this using the first append query (that brings in data)?
I am not good at Macro or VBA. The only thing I have done in code builder is After Update event in forms while using combo boxes. So, if there is no easier solution, I will try to deal with codes.
I have a table Billing_Temp that I need one field updated if I find a match in another table Random_Temp. I runt the query and it prompts for "Enter parameter value: Random_Temp.peopleID... what could be going on? Both tables have a field called peopleID and always Billing_temp has many more records than Random_temp:
UPDATE Billing_Temp SET Billing_Temp.audited = -1 WHERE (([Billing_Temp].[peopleID]=[Random_Temp].[peopleID]));
I am putting the finishing touches on a DB and have come up with a a problem which I cannot solve. I have code on my data entry form that concatenated the days and times of up to five days. That is : [Day1] & " " & "@" & " " & Format([Time1],"h:nn AM/PM") & " " & ";" and so forth for five days. It has a complicated (for me) nested IIF statement and it works fine on the form. But I have now transferred the data from an old DOS DB and I do not want to go through almost 5K records just to update three fields.When I tried to do it in an update query, it said that the string was too long for the update. My update is:
how to update the table if a field is blank without clicking through all 5K records? I have tried simple concatenation, but I usually get a lot of extra @ in the field.
I am trying to create a query that returns records whether a field has data or not...
There are three fields in question, SSN, DOB (this is a date field), POB (this is a foreign key representing a state in the query shows the actual state). Now unless the criterion is different then I just need the answer for one I can reproduce.
I would like to do this in the criteria box in the query.
The query pulls from one table, some of the employees in this table have the three fields populated some don't. I would like the query to return all employees...
I have a query that holds data based on a field. If the field [Device In] is "TimeStation-1" in TblTime for example it holds "AV" in the field [House]. Trouble is some fields are blank and when this is so I want it to pull the last two letters from the [Notes] field. I have attached the database. The query is [QryDeductionsandSleep Ins].
I'm having trouble with using a where statement linked to fields when the field is empty. I need a way to say if field is null then 'do nothing'/'select all' else use the text from the box.
I have a form (ServicesRCSSearch) which has 3 combo boxes (Location1, Location2 and Location3). These fields are linked to a query. The button on the form generates the query.
My SQL for the query is currently:
Select Services.Key, Services.Location, Services_1.Location, Services_2.Location From Services, Services_1, Services_2 (copies of the same table all left joined)
Where ((IIf(forms!ServicesRCSSearch!Location1 Is Null,"",services.Location=forms!ServicesRCSSearch! Location1))<>False)
And ((Services_1.Location)=IIf(forms!ServicesRCSSearch !Location2 Is Null,forms!ServicesRCSSearch!Location1,forms!Servi cesRCSSearch!Location2))
And ((Services_2.Location)=IIf(forms!ServicesRCSSearch !Location3 Is Null,forms!ServicesRCSSearch!Location1,forms!Servi cesRCSSearch!Location3))
This works in that it uses the fields to filter the query but when Location1 is empty there are no results as you can see from the code.
