Queries :: Making Tables Using Parameters From Table?
Jun 11, 2013
I've got a table of associate directors "t_ADnames" and want to build separate tables for each AD name that pulls a pass through query from our data warehouse. I'm thinking it's got to be done with a macro somehow? So it would run pass_query where AD name = "John" and insert into t_john, then it would check the next name in t_ADnames and run the same query for say "Mark" and insert all his data into t_mark and so on until the list (of about 12 people) has been completed.

I have a table with certain parameters in, and I need to update it in a monthly basis with new costs. Basically, its a list of component costs which change on a monthly basis, and the query/report needs to pull the latest version. But, the old costs need to be kept for legacy/comparison purposes.
TblMbM Layout (titles)
-Unique_ID
-title
-code
-Feb Cost
-March Cost
At the moment, there are no costs in the march column, but i know next week i will need to update tblMbM with the latest costs.

I've inherited a data base which has the address details of our members spread across multi fields i.e. Add 1, Add2, Add 3, Post town, Post code etc.
Not all the fields contain information which means when I do a mail merge for address labels there are blank lines.
I would like to either be able to create a single field in the table (like a memo field for example) which contains all the address detail, or create a mail merge without blank lines.

I have two tables containing data from two separate sources. The unique "link" between the two is a JobNumber field. I need to set up a relationship between the two tables using the JobNumber field.
Problem:
In one table, the JobNumber has been input in this format: 12-00345-01
In 2nd table, the JobNumber has been input in this format: 12-00345-1
How can I tie these when the 2nd table is missing the "0"?

I have imported 3 different excel worksheets into Access. I then created a query in which I made some relationships and select the fields that I need to make a new table. The problem is, when I run the table the final product is missing about 20,000 rows of data. I have used this protocol successfully for other other files, but for some reason, with this dataset Access is pasting 10,000 rows into the new table, where the original file has 39,000.

I'm new to access. Basically I've put this formula in a field within my query(Query A):
PERIOD: [YEAR] & "-" & [Month Number]
And I want to use this newly created field "Period" to join another table (Table A) without having to create another query.
PERIOD(Query A) -> PERIOD(Table A) = Month Name (Table A)
I need the month Name from Table A but because Period(Query A) is a formula I created, I don't know any way of joining it to Table A without creating another query. Is there another way...

I have made a new access 2013 database. I have created a linked table that has imported a substantial amount of data from an external data source, (an Excel spreadsheet). So far no problem. I created a select query that plucked data from the original table mentioned. Again, no problem. Then I decided to create another table, using certain fields only from the select query. Microsoft's guide tells me to start with CREATE, then Table design. I am happy to use just 4 fields from my query, but what I keep ending up with is a table, that, when I double click on it gives me the following:
ID Field1 Field2 Click to add
(New)
It is presumably expecting me to enter an ID number and it will come up with some record, but I want a complete table that should show several hundred records.

So I run cash flow for a business, and we export data from Oracle and insert it into an access database. I have to run about 25 queries, entering in the same parameters for each. We number each week of the year. So for say the first week in January, I would run the first query and it asks: Beginning Week, I enter in 1, then another paramter value asks me the ending week. I have to enter in these parameters for each of the 25 or so queries, and it becomes quite irritating. Each query has a number of columns, but I am only interested in obtaining the sum of one of the columns, titled Distribution amount. So I am looking for something that will run each of my specified queries, then spit out the total of the distribution column for each in a table like.
Query 1: Total Distribution
Query 2: Total Distribution
etc....
Is there anything that would allow me to do this, with entering in the week parameter once, say week 1 start, week 1 end. and it use those same parameters for each query?

Hello,
I'm creating a database for a home builder to track a lot of info, but mainly: house info, prospect info, actual customer info, and contract info.
My main tables are:
tblCustomers
CustID PK
(a bunch of customer fields)
tblHouses
HouseID PK
(a bunch of house fields)
tblContracts
ContractID PK
CustID FK
HouseID FK
(a bunch of contract fields)
The releationships are as follows:
One house can have many contracts
One customer can have many contracts
I thought I could use one table, tblCustomers, to track the prospect info and actual customer info, as so much of it will be identical (technically someone should be entered as a prospect before they can be a customer, and all info will be the same for both except for extra information fields for prospects, but I always want to be able to refer back to those fields) and I would know a prospect became an actual customer because at least one contract in the tblContracts would have their CustID associated with it.
Is it acceptable to have two foreign keys in tblContracts? And am I missing something that should exist between House and Customer? House and Customer are only releated when there is a Contract, so it is implied (I think) that a Customer can be associated with many different houses through many different contracts. Is that the right way to look at it?
I've come up against a wall regarding linking two forms so that the second form displays the data associated with what was showing on the first form. If I'm good here with the tables I suppose I'll post my detailed question in the forms area.
Thank you so much!:o

Hello,
I want to comine the following queries into one so that I can alter the parameters from a webpage.
I have a users table that has the department in and I have a TimeTable Table which has dates and option codes.
I need to select everybody in a department in the example it's Logistics.
I then want to link these people to the timeTable Table based upon a field.
The problen is that I want to select only a specific week. I can do this using two queries but that isn't going to work in ASP.
The Results should be as follows:
Person Date Option
A
B 01/10/2005 1
B 02/10/2005 2
C 01/10/2005 1
The two Queries look as follows:
SELECT TimeTable.*
FROM TimeTable
WHERE (((TimeTable.Date)>=#10/24/2005# And (TimeTable.Date)<=#10/30/2005#));
The above is then saved as Query1
SELECT Users.*, Query1.*, Query1.TimeOfDay, Query1.Date
FROM Query1 RIGHT JOIN Users ON Query1.UserID = Users.ID
WHERE (((Users.Department)="Logistics"))
ORDER BY Users.Surname, Users.Firstname, Query1.TimeOfDay, Query1.Date;
Any help would be great!
Cheers,
Matt

Hi there, i have a database i am setting up with 4 tables and am trying to think of the best way to input new data into it. All the tables are linked and its all based on printers. When a new printer is brought if it exists in the database then thats cool it just needs a Printer number assigned to it and the database will do the rest looking up printer model and what cartridges it requires. But if u add a model for a HP printer for example you need to add the model number to the tblink and create new cartridges and use the cartid to link the modelID i hope u get the picture!? lol there is a pdf i have created using onenote with screen dumps and comments about what i need it to do. If anyone has some advice or help it would be very greatful! Thanx mike

I have a report that has two sub reports. The sub reports are based on two different queries that have a parameter in each. When I run the report it prompts me to enter the two parameters for each record (there could be 30 or more records), how do I get the parameters to only ask me once and pull all records? My parameter is >[Continued ED Starting After XX/XX/XXXX] and the other parameter is >[Credits Starting After Date: XX/XX/XXXX], so I would like to just enter this information once and return all records with that criteria and not have to enter the information 30 or more times to get all records.

I am attempting to set up a saved import procedure in an Access database that will be run programmatically using docmd.RunSavedImportExport. The source document is an Excel file.My goal is to trap any import errors caused by inconsistencies in the source data. I'd also like to provide the user with some small amount of feedback on what is causing these errors.
My initial thought was to make use of the "File_ImportErrors" table that is generated following an unsuccessful import. *Not once* has this import procedure consistently generated an error table - sometimes the table is created, sometimes it isn't.
I have tried changing the file format of the import file to comma- and tab-delimited files, respectively. Both of these formats do consistently generate an error table, however none of the error values in the table are accurate - it reports a slew of type conversion errors for fields that are completely consistent and unproblematic, whilst completely overlooking conspicuous errors from text strings in date fields.
I have tried the same import, both procedurally and manually, using all available Excel and text-delimited formats, with the same respective results.I notice that nearly every thread on AWF pertaining to error tables discusses how to delete them, rather than make effective use of them. I suspect this is perhaps why?

I've been doing some reading on multivalue fields and it seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. My question: Is there a way to use the multivalue field without making it a lookup? I need the user to be able to put multiple values in a field but can't limit them to a list. The field that needs multiple values happens to be for SKU numbers from a large department store franchise.
One work around I've come up with is to have a pop up that asks for the separate sku numbers so they can be used for the value list each time, but then the user also would have to select those from the value list in order to enter it.... too many end user steps.
I want to avoid making 10-15 different fields each for SKU number, Item, and cost... I also need to avoid having to populate my db with the department store's full list of products...

I am trying to make my primary key in my table a calculated field.
I want the field to be subject + catalog + topic no. The only problem is that there is not always a topic no.
How would I write this expression?

Im trying to create a database to track who worked on what item and on what date, with four tasks required to complete the item.To give an example:I have a factory that builds Lego models, for each model there are four steps:
1)Unbox Parts
2)Sort Parts
3)Build
4)Check build
Any employee can work on any task, and multiple tasks can be done by the same employee.Having a completed item table with a field for each task, and a date for each task, with one to many relationships from employee id to each task type. This failed as I needed many to many, so I made a junction table to link them, and this is where I get a little muddled.
Do I need a table of task types, then a table tracking each task to feed into the item table, or is there a simple solution I'm overlooking?

What I am trying to do is create 3 (or more) parameters for a query from a single table. Lets use this for example:
Table Name= "tblExample"
Field Name "A" with Perameter "1"
Field Name "B" with Perameter "2"
Field Name "C" with Perameter "3"
(All from Table= "tblExample")
My intentions are that when the query is run, the user is asked to include 3 subjects (1 subject per perameter; 3 perameters total that pop up). But I am having trouble making it so that if a random person using this query doesn't know or can't remember 1 or 2 of the subjects they are looking for, the query will just (in a sense) ignore the two blank parameters the user has left alone, and just clicked the "ok" button without entering anything, and use the 1 parameter that it was given a subject for, to filter/query out a result.
If you beleive you will have trouble explaining this to me, I'll use this as an example:
Table Name: "tblExample"
Field Name: "A" with Parameter "1"
Field Name: "B" with Parameter "2"
Field Name: "C" with Parameter "3"
(All from Table: "tblExample")
The user uses the query and is asked by the first parameter for input. The user isn't sure, and clicks ok without entering anything, and parameter 2 pops up. The user then enters a subject of which he/she knows to look for and clicks "ok". Then the final parameter asks the user for input, and the user again doesn't know, or can't remember so he/she just presses the "ok" button.
What would be the coding for this kind of parameter that if nothing is entered, the parameter is ignored?
In desperate need of assistance. Thanks in advnace

Hello again,
I have a query which has a parameter called [Enter Date as DD/MM/YYYY].
This filters out records from my table which match those entered by the user.
However, when the query is run, Access is asking the user to enter the criteria twice. The first time it is labelled Expr1, the second time it is Enter Date as DD/MM/YYYY. There is obviously something wrong in my query, can anybody point me in the right direction here?
Thanks in advance;)

I have a query that pulls information from two tables. Some of the fields that are being queried share the same name in the tables, [Reimbursed_Amount] and [Cancel_Fee] specifically. In Design View I have specified that I only want the query to pull these fields from the Event Information table. An error occurs when I try to run it, saying that I need to define which table the field is from in the SQL code.
But then after I added clarification in the SQL, when I run the query it now prompts for a parameter for each of these fields. Why is this happening? I leave it blank, so a parameter has no impact on the query. How can I stop this?
Here's the SQL, after I added the table clarification:
Code:
SELECT (Sum(nz([Program_Cost])+nz([Millage_Fee])+nz([Auditorium_Cost])+nz([Cancel_Fee].[Event Information])-nz([Reimbursed_Amount].[Event Information]))) AS Total_Cost, [Shared Billing Information].Paid, [Shared Billing Information].Shared_Billing_ID, [Event Information].Shared_Billing_ID
FROM [Shared Billing Information] RIGHT JOIN [Event Information] ON [Shared Billing Information].Shared_Billing_ID = [Event Information].Shared_Billing_ID
[Code] ....

I recall reading somewhere (fairly recently) about a parameter or property in Access which is "On" by default and allows a form/query to identify when backend table field names or query arguments are changed and automatically looks for and "fixes" the renamed link. By leaving this switched ON, the database is slower than it could be. The db speed performance can be can be improved significantly by switching this 'feature' off. (i.e. Name of the property)

Good Afternoon,
I am trying to create a form where a user will enter in a value into a text field. Afterwards, when the user clicks "Enter", a query will run and will LOOK FOR THE VALUE THAT WAS ENTERED INTO THE TEXT FIELD. i.e.
User enters their address into the field and clicks the enter button.
Afterwards, a query will run like
select * from customers where address = @address <== the value the user entered into the text field. This is where the mystery lies. How do you pass values?????
Thanks,
Nervous Jervous
