Queries :: How To Create A Query To Append Values
Nov 6, 2014
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 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 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.

I have an append query that currently looks like this URL...This query automatically adds the machine parameters for a product code and lot number into the running condition log. This is so the user does not have to manually go in and tediously select each machine parameter.
The running condition log also has a date field to specify what day and record number the machine parameter's value was recorded on. When I run the query the appended rows look like this. The product and lot are defined by user parameter and there are actually about 36 machine parameters
Code:
Productstockcode LotNo Day Record Parameter ActualCond
PE-500 130816m71 StockTemp
PE-500 130816m71 Zone 1
PE-500 130816m71 Zone 2
My question is: how do I modify the query to automatically add the date and record number in one shot? It needs to be user defined at the time of the query because this data is not stored anywhere else in the database. For each 36 machine parameters the day and record would be the same.

I have a database used to manage teaching assignments (which kid is assigned to which teacher so to speak). I have this relationship defined through three tables, a teacher table, a student table, both with unique ID's. The third table is used to define the assignment. Also, the kid table has an extra GroupID. The group ID is what is used to define. So in the definition table, Teacher 1 is assigned to Group 1, and so on (though their may be 20 kids in group 1). When a new teacher is added to the teacher table, I need it to add it to the corresponding field in the definition table. The groupID is in the table as an Autonumber so that will populate automatically.
I need to appendTeacherID to tblassignment (TeacherassignmentID) and have only one occurrence of the TeacherID. So, if I have teachers 1-8 listed, each assigned to a group# in the tblassignment, and I add Teacher 9, I need it to add Teacher 9's unique ID to the TeacherassignmentID field without adding 1-8 again. I can't figure out how to "check" for ID's 1-9 and add only those I've added to the teacher list that aren't already assigned to a group.
I've tried a few different SQL queries append/select queries but nothing seems to do what I need it to do....

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".

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 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!

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.

Have the following scenario with perhaps inbuilt fatal flaw
Building an Inventory Management db and in the process of constructing the tools to move some inventory from 1 location in the warehouse to another (purely an internal transfer)
Part of my table design includes an allocated quantity field to record any outstanding orders for this inventory unit (I am planning on a built in LIFO system, which I haven't got around to contemplating yet)
All went well, the stock was decreased from the existing location using an update query. but failed to materialise in the new location using an append query
After much yelling and cursing at the offending query, finally did a search and found the following:
Update queries will not work if you trying to append a primary key value (knew that one) OR you are trying to append a null value into a field
In the real world, it may well be possible that I will have 0 allocations for a given inventory unit
Does anybody know a way around this seeming impass, or am I faited to rebuild my tables again?
Thanks in advance for any enlightenment

i am trying to create an append query that gets 2 values from one table and a 3rd value from a form.
It gets the values from the table fine but always gives me a popup asking for the value from the form.
I have used the criteria build... and selected the loaded form and the field value that I am looking for. I have also made sure that there is a value in the field on the form.
is there a reason why the query will not grab the number in the forms field? or am I jsut not doing this right.
I have done this many times on a combo box and it works fine. It is jsut not working for a field that is typed in
Can anyone help me?

I have an append query created to add files to a table from an imported excel file. The table to which I am appending (SubTBL) has a field names Observation. This field is not required. There is a relationship to another table (ObservationTBL) which has 3 records. The information I am trying to append includes 7000 records, about 4000 have observations assigned and they match the information in the ObservationTBL. The remaining 3000 have blank records for observation. When I run the append query, only those with observations are appended. The rest are not added because of "key violations". I removed the relationship between the ObservationTBL and the SubTBL and the append query runs. Then when I try to re-do the relationship it fails "Violates referential integrity rules".To be clear:
1. The records without an observation are blank. (There are other fields in this append that have blank fields also and they are not causing any problems)
2. The field observation is NOT set to required.
Is it not allowing Null records?

I have a table - (Table A) that has 2 fields X and Y. I would like to write a query or script to make two new tables based on the unique values found in field X. In other words, all data where field X = 1 would be written to a new table called "1" and all data wehre field X =2 would be written to a new table called "2".I would like this done automatically.
Table A
Field X Field Y
1 a
1 b
1 c
1 d
2 a
2 b

Hallo,
I need your guidance to do the following;
On a click of a button from the Form the following should execute.
I have created 50 queries. Each query has more than 1000 recordsets.
1. I want to count the number of rows for each query (50 queries = 50 different values)
2. create one table and populate those 50 different values into the table
3. Using those values in the table; a Stack column chart has to be created.
In simple explanation; on a click of a button the data should be processed and chart has to be created.
Just a tip will also do to try on my side.
Thank you in advance

I'm trying to determine the SQL to return only those records in a table which have duplicate values in each of two fields, but different values in a third field. Here's an example:
Code:
AcctNum FoodType FoodClass
------- -------- ---------
A123 Apple Fruit
A123 Apple Fruit
A123 Grape Fruit
A456 Potato Vegetable
A456 Potato Perishable
A789 Carrot Vegetable
A001 Banana Fruit
For the above table, I'm trying to return records which have multiple entries for AcctNum + FoodType, but DIFFERENT values for FoodClass. So for the above table, the query would return:
Code:
AcctNum FoodType FoodClass
------- -------- ---------
A456 Potato Vegetable
A456 Potato Perishable
It returns these two records because there is more than one record with for the AcctNum + FoodType (i.e. 'A456' + 'Potato'), but DIFFERENT values for FoodClass (i.e. one record has 'Vegetable' while the other has 'Perishable').

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 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 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.
