Queries :: Number Of Columns In Two Selected Tables Of Union Query Do Not Match
Dec 9, 2013
I'm new to Access. We have a database that was created years ago and has been working fine. Now suddendly we get the following error message on a query.
"The number of columns in the two selected tables or queries of a union query do not match"
This is the code
SELECT [TimeSheets All].[Job Number], [TimeSheets All].Date, [TimeSheets All].Details, [TimeSheets All].[Start Time], [TimeSheets All].[End Time], [TimeSheets All].[Unbillable hours], [TimeSheets All].Who, *
FROM [TimeSheets All]
WHERE ((([TimeSheets All].[Job Number]) Like [Forms]![Search]![Job Number]))
ORDER BY [TimeSheets All].[Job Number], [TimeSheets All].Date;

I have several tables that I need to join together to create a single form for multiple entries. Job Table, OPR Table, Organization, Program List Table, Program Notes, Rank, Reference Table, and Status Table.
Ultimately, I need to be able to display all of these in one form and allow for adding/editing notes from the Program Notes section. I also need to be able to let the user look up all info by selecting the Program Name and have the other field populate correctly. The issue I am running into is that I cannot get the Program Notes table to join to the Program List table correctly.
This is what I attempted to use in SQL:
SELECT [Program Name], [Status], [Reference], [Self-Inspection], [IG Checklist], [Continuity Book], [Bragging Paper], [Program Strengths], [ORI Reports], [Best Practices]
FROM [Program List Table]
UNION
SELECT [Log Date], [Log Entry]
FROM [Program Notes]
However, I keep getting an error. I have read that it is because I don't have the same amount of columns, but the tables don't have the same information.I have also tried to do it through a normal query and through a third table, however I get errors about ambiguous outer joins and I can't seem to make that work either.

I was able to use the UNION ALL qry. But, when I have another file (like original2) that does NOT have all the columns listed in the UNION ALL qry, I get a Parameter value box asking for the missing columns when I run the qry.
Example:
original1IDDateGroupChristianJohnnySteve 18/5/2013A1528/5/2013B338/5/2013C2348/5/2013D2358/5/2013E5
original 2IDDateGroupChristianJohnny18/6/2013A212528/6/2013B2338/6/2013C2248/6/2013D22
The UNION ALL qry includes all the possible resources ( includes all the possible column fields Christan, Johnny, and Steve).
When I run the UNION ALL qry with the original2 file, An "Enter Parameter Value" box is displayed with the mssing column name "Steve".
Is there a way to Map the original2 table into a working table with all the columns, or use VBA code to construct the UNION ALL qry to only include the existing columns? My data has variable columns and I'm trying to avoid the parameter popups.

I am using the following UNION QUERY to total up equipment tested for a report.
SELECT "Laptops Tested" AS PCEQUIP, Count(*) AS RECORDS
FROM [LAPTOPS]
WHERE (((Date)Between [Enter Start Date] AND [Enter End Date]));
UNION
SELECT "Workstations Tested" AS PCEQUIP, Count(*) AS RECORDS
FROM [WORKSTATION]
[code]...
I have created a report using ACCESS 2000 for this union query and it satisfies the requirement. I am trying to add the proper code and syntax in this query to total the number of all of this equipment tested.In this case the total would be 86. Is this possible?

I'm having a problem with a UNION / UNION ALL query.It seems there is a application crash fault when running the query that MS are aware of and have issued a hot fix. Unfortunately it will take my IT dept some time to check and install the hot fix If they agree to do it at all.
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: MSACCESS.EXE
Application Version: 12.0.6606.1000

Hi,
I have 2 tables, one "new" and the other one called "old".
The thing is that the "new" one has more information (more columns) than the "old". So I can only do a Union query on the columns that do match, but it is possible to have the information from the columns in the "new" table added as well into that query?
Do I have to create the new columns in the "old" table before the Union query?

Okay, this one should be simple and can be solved in one of two ways. I have two seperate tables with a 12 digit identifying number that is ALMOST exactly the same in each. I am trying to match up these two tables, which works amazingly well, except for the occasional case where the 12 digit ID (which is called API) ends in 01, instead of 00. The last two digits do not make a difference at all, but in one table it will end in 00 and the other it will end in 01, even though they are the same record.
Basically, it looks like this...
Table 1---------------Table 2
541236554700-----541236554700
541236123700-----541236123700
443231246700-----443231246701
So basically, in my final query, the last entry will not show up since these two are not related by this API (ID) number. Any way to either replace the 01 on the end with 00... OR to remove the last two digits?

I am working with a large database of 8,000+ entries. We have five tables in this database, but mainly use three of them. The main table is "OAKE Main Table" which is basically a list of all members our organization has had. Each member has accounting data linked to their member ID number which has been generated by ACCESS, and can be accessed or edited by clicking on a sub table next to each member. The accounting data that has been manually entered in the OAKE Main Table can be found in the Accounting table.
Here's my issue. I need to be able to extract a list of transactions from this accounting table since January 1st. I can do this no problem, but all I get is the member ID and the accounting data. How do I get ACCESS to include the member ID's first and last name? or maybe even the first, last name, address, city, state, zip, etc so that I can get a list of people who have made donations, for example?
I'm assuming this will have something to do with the relationships we have set up in our table. Here's a picture of it. I have no clue how to make this work.

I have a table ("Student Info") that looks like this:
ID....Student.....Student #......Teacher Name......Teacher ID
1........A...............432...............Alice.. .................62
2........B...............674...............Alice.. .................62
3........C...............875...............Alice.. .................62
4........D...............934...............Katie.. ................18
5........E...............345...............Katie.. ................18
6........F...............134...............Dan.... .................4
7........G...............734...............Dan.... .................4
The above table suits me well for data entry.For analysis reasons, I want it to have another table or query or something (let's call it "Teacher Info") that looks like this:
Teacher ID....Teacher Name....St1.....St2......St3...St#1...St#2...St#3
62......................Alice...........A......... B........C.....432.....674.....875
18......................Katie...........D......... E........-.....934.....345......-
4........................Dan............F......... G........-.....134.....734......-
Is there any way that I could do this? I have been struggling with this for a while.Just so you know how this data is connected - At the moment, I have a form where I put in new Teacher information. I have a subform attached to that, where I put the student names and numbers. This way, the students are linked with their student #s, and each of them are linked to a teacher. Unfortunately, the table ("New Teacher Registration") that this creates looks like this:
id....Teacher Name
62...... Alice
(+ tab).........A.........432
...................B.........674
...................C.........875
18.......Katie
(+ tab).........D.........934
...................E.........345
4........Dan
(+ tab).........F.........134
...................G.........734
I created the "Student Info" table (above) from this to work with data entry (drop-downs and such). Now I'd like to create a "Teacher Info" table (above) for analysis.

I have two tables, identical in terms of structure (number & names of fields etc.) but different in terms of content (records not necessarily the same, some may be common to both, some may only be present in one or other table)
I want to set up a query to count the number of records which are present in one table (Table A) but not in the other (Table B) using a common identifier field, and put the numerical result in a text box on a form (i.e. use the query as the control source for the text box)
I've managed to come up with the following which provides the list of ID's :
Quote:
SELECT tblA.CommentId
FROM tblA LEFT JOIN tblB ON tblA.Id = tblB.Id
WHERE tblB.Id Is Null;
Which will come in useful elsewhere but how do I adjust this SQL to only return the number of records? I think I have to use COUNT(*) somehow but I'm not familiar with it and not sure of the syntax?

Hi,
I recently got a new job and am trying to learn access for it. I have two tables. Both of them have client id numbers. They are both supposed to have the same client id numbers. However, Table 1 has more client id numbers than Table 2. I want to do a match query that selects the client id numbers in Table 1 that do not have a corresponding match in Table 2. How would I go about doing this?
Also, I want to do a simple select query where I select the client id numbers in Table 1 whose first two numbers are "88." How would I do this in the query or SQL form.
Do you have any recommendations about the best way to learn Access for practical applications like this? I'll also need to get good at making Forms which seem fairly complicated.
Thank you for your time.
Rajiv

I think I need a union query for this. I have 2 tables with the exact same field names. I need a query that will return all of the records together. I haven't been able to figure out how to write the sql code. I do best when I am working from an example, but all the examples I've seen by searching this site are a little confusing...
My two Tables:
Direct Table:
|_Title_|_Number_|_Location_|
|_Youth_|_25212__|__Storage_|
|_Aging_|_93839__|__Stacks__|
EBSCO Table:
|_Title_|_Number_|_Location_|
|Generic|_123456_|__Storage_|
|_Pizza_|_948282_|__Stacks__|
The New Query:
|_Title_|_Number_|_Location_|
|_Youth_|_25212__|__Storage_|
|_Aging_|_93839__|__Stacks__|
|Generic|_123456_|__Storage_|
|_Pizza_|_948282_|__Stacks__|
Fairly simple...but hard enough that I'm having trouble figuring it out. Previously, I was just combining the two tables into a new table, but that means whenever I update information, I have to update it in two places--which defeats the whole purpose of a database.
Thanks,
Siena

Currently I'm building tables and forms. My first table (called Clients) lists the details of fictional clients. My second table is for invoices.
In my invoices table, I wish to link the column for client reference (note: stored in the Clients table) to the column that precedes it. This column will list the clients’ names and is selected from a drop down list that is linked to the Clients table.
What I want to do (if its possible) is to have the respective client ref. automatically show up in the next cell once I've selected the client to whom the invoice relates?
Am I making sense? Is that possible? If so, how do I do it?
Secondly, how do I do a sum of selected columns for my “totals” column? Basically, I want to add the figures found in several cells that precede it?

I have Access2003 and a problem creating a simple method of constructing a union query.
I am using a commercial paradox databse that has a habit of creating a new table every time a certain action is performed. There is currently a set of 160 tables with identical fields. The database allows me to view data in these tables individually. I would like to pull the information together, from between 20 and 30 specific tables at any one time, and view the data in one table.
I have linked the tables in a an access database and would go about viewing the data by creating a union query containing each of the tables of interest. Then appending the info in these tables to a new table.
Unfortunately manually adjusting the SQL expression is a bit cumbersome to say the least I am wondering if it possible to select the tables of interest from a List Box on a simple form and have those selected inserted into the union query ?
Alternatively, the table names are actually a field within a different table. Another field within this table actually determines whether they will be of interest. So ideally I could query that table to tell me which tables need to appear in the union query. Again I would like the union query generated automatically as a result of that query.
I am confident, perhaps without good reason , that this must be possible ....
any help much appreciated.

I have a db which has a query. This query is rather simple where it filters fields based on criteria. Here is the SQL VIEW:
SELECT DSResult.STATUS, DSResult.TESTCODE, DSResult.BATCHNO, DSResult.TESTNO, DSResult.TESTDATE, DSResult.CODE
FROM DSResult
WHERE (((DSResult.STATUS)="TESTED") AND ((DSResult.TESTCODE)="41015" Or (DSResult.TESTCODE)="41016") AND ((DSResult.BATCHNO)<>"1") AND ((DSResult.TESTDATE)>=#1/18/2010#))
ORDER BY DSResult.TESTCODE, DSResult.TESTDATE, DSResult.CODE;
I need to alter this query so that where records that have the same "DSResult.CODE" and counted are greater than 20 occurrences and then display only these records sorted in DSRESULT.Code order.

I have a table of end of week sales with ProductID, Volume_Sold, Year and WeekNo. I am about to create a historical table of RRP.
What is the best way to set this out so that I can query the two tables to that when I run a query over the two tables I get the correct price depending on the year and week number I am working with.
tblSales
Year int,
Week int,
CountryCode nvarchar (2),
StoreNo, nvarchar (35),
ProductId nvarchar (15),
Volume_Sold int;
My new table
"tblRRP"
Could contain
Year int,
Week int,
CountryCode nvarchar (2),
ProductId nvarchar (15),
RRP float;
The table is only appended to when the price changes. So some products may have a price increase 2 or 3 times a year others once every 18 months. And if the price changes any calculations need to allow for the 2 or 3 different RRPs the Product may have had during the queried period.
So that when I do year on year revenue calculations it works properly.

I have two basic lists of employee names, ID's, phone numbers etc, with one field containing an attachment with a picture of their ID. I don't want to permanently combine these two lists of employees, as they work in different departments, but for certain events I need to be able to print a report with a list of all their names, ID numbers, and corresponding ID photos.
I tried to make a UNION query, but can't do it with the attachment field. If I leave that field out, it's no problem. To simplify, I have been doing a test run as follows, with just the name field and photo field (field 1).
SELECT [Starting Gate employees].[Employee name], [Starting Gate employees].Field2
FROM [Starting Gate employees]
UNION
SELECT [Farrier employees].[Employee name], [Farrier employees].Field2
FROM [Farrier employees];
