Queries :: Insert Into Query Will Only Work On Some Records - Key Violation Error
Oct 23, 2014
I am building an access database for my college project and I essentially have a quotation form that when I click a button 'Convert to Invoice' it creates a new record in the invoice table and then creates new records in the invoice details table which match the quotation details table. This is working as it should but for only the first 2 customers in my customer table?
On the quote form I have a combo box which is linked to the customer table and updates the quote table based on the selection. If I select customer 1 or 2 and click 'convert to invoice' it works and opens an invoice form based on the inserted data however if I select any other customer it returns an error that the record wasn't added to the table due to key violations?
As far as I can tell I am not trying to update the primary keys in the Invoice Table or the Invoice Details Tables.
- I have a module which runs queries on linked sales spreadsheets, to merge them in to one Access table. - To prevent duplication of sales, the primary key merges the sales record and item number fields.
Today, it's found 103 key duplication errors, which is fine. But it's still adding data to the table. The data seems to be fields which aren't even mentioned in the query. It only does this when the query is ran from VBA.
No records are being imported. I am getting a validation rule violation but I don't have any rules. The forename and surname are straightforward text boxes and the ID is an autonumber.
Code:
INSERT INTO table_candidate ( Cand_ID, Cand_forename, Cand_surname ) SELECT candidates.Cand_ID, candidates.Cand_forename, candidates.Cand_surname FROM candidates;
1. Is your append query trying to assign values to the primary key field? Could that be the source of the duplicate?
Yes but there are no duplicates
2. Do you have any other fields that are "Indexed: No Duplicates"? Any compound indexes?
No
3. Is the query assigning values to a field that is a foreign key to another table? Is it possible that these values do not match the values in that other table?
No. All child tables are empty.
4. Is there a validation rule on the table itself?
What this means.
5. Does the query attempt to assign a string with no characters in it (as opposed to a Null value) to a text field that has its Allow Zero Length property set to No?
Both fields are text and all records contain information
Required = No Zero length = Yes
6. Is there a Default Value in one of the fields that is NOT being assigned by the query? For example, a foreign key with zero as the Default Value?
No
7. Is there data that is outside the range a field can accept, e.g. an integer larger than 32767, or a Null to a Yes/No field?
The length of the text in each record is not greater than the set limit
8. Is one of the query fields arriving in a format that Access is not understanding, e.g. for a date, or for a currency?
Hello I am new to this forum. I am trying to use the append query on two tables that are identical in data type, from TblA to TblB, but cannot append due to key violations for each row.
Both TblA and TablB have an autonumber primary key, although TblA does not need to have a primary key. Any suggestions as to what I should be looking for first?
Wow, this thing is annoying me. I give up! I've attached the database for anyone here to have a look at. I promise there's no nasty code on it, although you should be able to see my code and hopefully pick the problem if you disable macros anyway.
I use VBA to prompt users to enter their staff number, the member's number and the book ID. The same VBA checks to make sure that it's a valid number that they're entering, that's it's actually present in the table it's being referenced from. (Command0 button. Command1 is to return an item)
It then takes these values, the current date and another date variable and inserts into the LOAN table. The loan table has enforced referential relationships with the book, member and staff tables.
All the fields in Loan (except for the autonumber PK) are not required, and have no validation formulas, zero-length is permitted where applicable.
I KNOW that the numbers being inserted are in the related tables! They're the same data type - long integers, and the related tables' primary keys are not autonumbers.
So why am I still getting a key constraint violation??
Can someone please help me??
Correction: I'm trying to attach the database, but it's too big, even zipped. Why isn't RAR accepted? Anyway, the file is hosted here: http://jellopy.com/files/newdb.zip
Hi, I have a form that consists several buttons. One is to delete a table A, then add records to several tables and eventually it will do a join and insert records to table A, and display a report. It always works while all tables reside in the same Access database. Now we are trying to migrate to SQL server but not ready to get rid of Access yet. So we exported all tables to SQL server and created linked tables. We can open tables directly from Access without any problem. It shows the contents as the SQL database But when we tried to open the form and run the same button as before, we got an error:
Microsoft Access can't delete 0 record(s) in the delete query due to key violations and n record(s) due to lock violations.
We have no idea why this happens. Most of the time, it worked the first time when we clicked on the button. But we got the message when we clicked on the same button the second time. If we clicked "Yes" then it will append new records. There will be duplicate records since it doesn't delete the existing ones.
Did any of you encounter a similar problem before? Thanks in advance!
I am trying to change the standard input mask violation error message to a personalised one. I have found this code:
Private Sub Form_Error(DataErr As Integer, Response As Integer) Const INPUTMASK_VIOLATION = 2279 If DataErr = INPUTMASK_VIOLATION Then MsgBox "There was an input mask violation in the field no!!" Response = acDataErrContinue End If End Sub
However, i would like to change the message for a number of different text boxes. and i don't know how to isolate each one, and give each one a different message?
The records that I'm working with are pulled weekly from another db, which has been modified by a boatload of folks, over the years. Every one of them had their little ways of doing things. The data in "Product" field isn't always entered the same way. For example: SS_11_0101__Z2 and SS 11__0101_Z2 and SS 11 0101 Z2 are all the same product, just apparently selected from different drop down boxes which (of course) are usually slightly different, usually a problem with the underscores.
This is causing me to miss some listings when I run my queries. Fixing the main db is NOT an option. What I need to do is figure out how to find any "_" (underscores) and replace them with a single space, in my db.
I run some searches here, but haven't found anything that triggered an "AHA!" moment. Anyone have any recommendations about how to tackle this? Update query, Replace() function or maybe a macro?
As always, thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have.
I was wondering if i could get some help here. I got error message saying "user defined - typed not defined" and it's highlighting the first line that is WorkBase as Database.
Here is my code. Dim WorkBase As Database Dim WorkRS1 As Recordset Dim rsNew As New ADODB.Recordset
I have an empty database, copies of which will be used in a number of locations. Before a copy is sent out to the user some data, specific to the user's location, needs to be entered into a total of 40+ tables . I have tried to do this using a series of Update and Insert queries but find that not all of the changes have been successful. It seems as if a block of several tables is missed every so often through the list, as if Access has had trouble doing the writes quickly enough and skipped some. I have looked for some method of forcing each query to complete its writes before moving on to the next one, but have found nothing so far. The database is self-contained and will be run on a PC, not on a server. What I am looking for I guess is the Access equivalent to the Commit command used in other systems.
Will someone please tell me, is there anything like this In Access 2000?
I'm quite new to this SQL-stuff, and I'm having some troubles with an onclick-command, that I was hoping you could help me with... I know that it is a very simple question to you SQL-guru's, but what the hell...:-)
In my form I have three text-boxes (I1, II1 and III1) and in my table called 'sælgerdata' i have a yes/no column called "kursus1" and my keystring is called "sælgernr" (which means employee-number).
In the textboxes i list three employees, and when the button is pressed I want all the employees whose numbers are entered to have the value "-1" added to their "kursus1" column.
When I press the button I get no error, but no data is added to the
Here is my code. What is wrong??? I really hope you can help me...

My problem is I need to know if the execution of the SQL statement was successful or not. I use the RecordsAffected method, but it always returns 0, no matter what.
I am new user of access and have encounted a key violation from an append query. I'm trying to update a master mail-out list and am having a key violation that doesn't add some of my records.
Here is the SQL vew:
Also, I've checked the properties for both tables and they match, also I have "Allow zero length" set to yes.
Hey, I am getting a primary key violation when I try to run an update query.
My primary key is a combination of two fields, ScheduleID and SchedulePage. That way for each schedule I can only have one Page 1, one Page 2, etc.
When I want to insert a page (say a new Page 2), I need to update the table so that Page 2 becomes Page 3, Page 3 becomes Page 4, and so on.
The problem is, since it starts at the bottom, when I tell it to increase the page number by one, it's conflicting with the primary key of the next record.
Any ideas? BTW, if the solution has to do with sorting, I need to make sure it's something that always defaults back to the correct sort, since users may be able to change the sort and accidentally save it. Plus, I'll need to do the same thing in reverse (delete a page).
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?
I have 3 queries that I need to join. the 3 queries work on their own. They are all similar to below
SELECT TOP 5 ASTDATA.[ID], ASTDATA.[Weight], ASTDATA.[StockCode], ASTDATA.[CurrentQty], Rnd([ID]) AS Expr1 FROM ASTDATA ORDER BY Rnd([ID]);
But when I join them, like below, the data doesn't change. Does the rnd function work with a union query?
SELECT TOP 5 ASTDATA.[ID], ASTDATA.[Weight], ASTDATA.[StockCode], ASTDATA.[CurrentQty], Rnd([ID]) AS Expr1 FROM ASTDATA UNION SELECT TOP 5 BSTDATA.[ID], BSTDATA.[Weight], BSTDATA.[StockCode], BSTDATA.[CurrentQty], Rnd([ID]) AS Expr1 FROM BSTDATA UNION SELECT TOP 5 CSTDATA.[ID], CSTDATA.[Weight], CSTDATA.[StockCode], CSTDATA.[CurrentQty], Rnd([ID]) AS Expr1 FROM CSTDATA
TRANSFORM Sum([rpt LEAD TYPE SUCCESS RATE2].rec_cnt) AS SumOfrec_cnt SELECT [rpt LEAD TYPE SUCCESS RATE2].Internal_Rep, [rpt LEAD TYPE SUCCESS RATE2].Lead, [rpt LEAD TYPE SUCCESS RATE2].Start_Date, [rpt LEAD TYPE SUCCESS RATE2].End_Date FROM [rpt LEAD TYPE SUCCESS RATE2] GROUP BY [rpt LEAD TYPE SUCCESS RATE2].Internal_Rep, [rpt LEAD TYPE SUCCESS RATE2].Lead, [rpt LEAD TYPE SUCCESS RATE2].Start_Date, [rpt LEAD TYPE SUCCESS RATE2].End_Date PIVOT [rpt LEAD TYPE SUCCESS RATE2].Results;
I get valid results.
When I run the form it prompts me 3 times for each start date and end date. Then I get the following error :The Microsoft Access database engine does not recognize '' as a valid field name or expression.
I have a field that is giving me the number of business days between a period of time and then I want to subtract that number - the person's PTO time to see the actual days they were available...when I simply type the number in (see below) it works great but I want to set up a prompt that will ask me how many PTO Days to calculate as it will be different for each person I am quering...is this possible?
I am using an Access 2010 DB to keep track of a schedule. Essentially, at least one person needs to be signed up to work for every hour of every day in a week.
Tables: Days with 7 records Hours with 24 records Workers with as many people that sign up to work the different hours Schedule signifying the worker, day, and hour which are signed up.
As of now i have a query that relates these results and gives me a line detailing the worker/time information for the slots that are signed up for.What I'm TRYING to do is to create a query that gives me BLANK worker info when there is no one signed up for a particular hour.Currently my Schedule table has the following:
What I'm looking to do is have this table matched up with another table (or query) that provides every combination of day/hour. When an day/hour combination is skipped, the query will be able to "fill in the blank" with a row. Like this:
I have developed a database which has required many checkbox fields to enable analysis. It requires to have the facility to input random/variable date ranges for statistical purposes.
I have built a query which obtains the counts of multiple fields using the following parameters in Query Builder in Access 2010. Although this comes up with the correct results for these multiple fields when I try introduce date range the results come up blank for all results.
An example of the parameters used for one of the checkbox fields in Query Builder is as follows:
Field: SumAnger: Sum([Anger]*-1) Table: Default as only one table Total: Expression Show: Checked
This works fine.
My latest parameters for the date range are this:
Field: [cDate] Table: Default as only one table Total: WHERE Corrected! Whoops Copy & Paste Typo. Too early AM! Show: Checked or Unchecked makes no difference Criteria: Between [From Date:] And [To Date:]
This gives a statement in SQL view of:
SELECT Sum([Anger]*-1) AS SumAnger, Sum([Anxiety]*-1) AS SumAnxiety, Sum([Depression]*-1) AS SumDepression, Sum([Listening]*-1) AS SumListenig, Sum([Psychosis]*-1) AS SumPsychosis, Sum([Stress]*-1) AS SumStress, Sum([Other]*-1) AS SumOther, tblCommsLog.[cDate] FROM tblCommsLog WHERE (((tblCommsLog.[cDate]) Between [From Date:] And [To Date:]));
what I need to get this to work in Query Builder or failing that recommend some VBA script/code with embedded SQL to achieve the required report.
Where would you put the INSERT INTO statement in a query? Would it go after the select statement but before the From statement or would it go at the end?
I work with access web database. In access web aggregate functions are disabled in query design. So I made a query in client and i thought then i can insert this data to another web table. but i don't know how to update this table.
Because the source table of the query is also updated.
I upload the database with a table in it and a query. I want to add the data of this query to another web table....
So, I am inserting new records into a table. The values in the decimals are being stored as zeroes.
Field Properties Long Integer Standard (I also tried Currency) 2 Decimal Places
When I remove the "INSERT INTO" part of the query, the decimal data is in the results. I started out not using the FORMAT function. Then I tried it using "Standard", "Currency", and "#,##0.00"
