Queries :: Update Query That Ignores Missing Fields?

Jul 28, 2015

I'm trying to create a single, Update Query in Access 2007 that does all of these 3 things:

Update (skipping zero-length values)
Append
Automatically handle missing Fields without showing any "Enter Parameter Value" prompts.

I've managed to accomplish the 1st & 2nd items on my own, but I'm stumped on the 3rd. In essence, what I'm looking for is a way of telling Access to automatically use a zero-length/null value for any missing Field(s) the Query encounters, so long as it does not involve manually modifying the Table beforehand. Automation is key. And that's where you guys come in.

Attached, is a diagram of the desired results applied to a set of sample Tables. And here's the SQL code for the Update Query adjusted to work with those sample Tables:

Code:
UPDATE Table_1 RIGHT JOIN Table_2 ON Table_1.ID = Table_2.ID SET Table_1.ID = NZ([Table_2].[ID],[Table_1].[ID]), Table_1.Company = NZ([Table_2].[Company],[Table_1].[Company]), Table_1.Address = NZ([Table_2].[Address],[Table_1].[Address]), Table_1.Phone = NZ([Table_2].[Phone],[Table_1].[Phone]);

Queries :: Count How Many Fields Are Missing For Each Record

Jun 27, 2013

I have a fairly simple query to weed out all the records in our database that are missing vital pieces of infomation :

Code:
SELECT Contacts.Name, Contacts.Address1, Contacts.Address2, Contacts.Town, Contacts.County, Contacts.Country, Contacts.PostCode, Contacts.Telephone, Contacts.Code
FROM Contacts
WHERE (((Contacts.Address1) Is Null) OR ((Contacts.Address2) Is Null) OR ((Contacts.Town) Is Null) OR ((Contacts.County) Is Null));

Is there anyway to count how many fields are missing for each record ?

Queries :: Update Several Fields All At Once In One Single Query

May 23, 2014

I am trying to update several fields all at once in one single query. Also, I can only use the Design View (No SQL)

The weirdest thing keeps happening though: The more fields I enter to get updated, the less rows get updated.

For example,

When I have only one field that gets updated and I click "run" the window pops up saying I'm about to update 9 rows. It asks me if I'm sure I want to update those records so I say "no".....

Then, I add in another field and click "run" and the window pops up daying I'm about to update 8 rows. When it asks me if I'm sure I want to update those records, again I say "no"......

Then, I add in another field and this time it says 7 rows..... and the trend goes on and on until it says I'm going to update 0 rows.

I have about 15 fields I need to update all at once. I don't get why its not letting me update them simultaneously.

Queries :: Update Query Peculiarity - Not All Fields Updated

Nov 18, 2013

I'm mid build on a commitments tracking (pseudo Purchase Order system) project, but seem to have run into an issue with a loop I'm building to allow users to edit commitments. The idea is that an edit form is launched, values amended and the submit button is clicked. A VB subroutine then validates the entries to ensure that the mandatory entries are included. It then writes a copy of the original values to the Archive table, before attempting to update the existing commitment with the new values..

This is working perfectly, apart from the fact that 3 fields that are "updated" are being updated to a blank value..

Code:
Private Sub CommitSubmit_Click()
Dim SQLStr, LastID, DOwner, DHeading As String
Dim ErrState, Dtype, DProperty, DTCA, DITD, DSD, DED, DSP, DRetention, DRA, DRPD, DSupplier, DDOW, DStatus, DUser, DShD As String
Dim Authcheck, Complete, ErrMsg As Boolean
Dim QDF1, QDF2 As QueryDef

[code]...

Queries :: Filter Error With Calculated Fields - Missing Operator In Expression

Jan 9, 2014

I tend to work with large amounts of data (extracts from company systems) and I create a lot of Access/VBA based tools to automate processes.

I have an annoying error which has always appeared but I don't understand the root cause of it.

When viewing a query, if I filter, I get an error message pop up (though after clicking through the error I can still use the filter function):

"syntax error missing operator in expression 'name of field'".

This seems to happen when I add several calculated fields. Here are some examples of the conditions and calculated field formulas I'm using in this current one:

Conditions:
<>"CINEMATIC" And <>"SFX"
Not Like "*_ZZ*" And Not Like "*test*" And Not Like "EP_*"
[Forms]![FRMscriptPrintReview]![selectLangCombo]

Calculated Field:
Audio Ref Guide: IIf(Left$(Right$([TBLdata]![Script Resource],2),1)<>"_","?",Right$([TBLdata]![Script Resource],2))

I get the impression that its more of a bug with Access as the formulas aren't complicated really but need confirmation on this and if there is a way I can avoid it.

Update Tables With Missing Data Without Using Unmatched Query?

Aug 13, 2013

I have an access database with several linked tables (linked to MySQL database) and several local tables. The theory is that if there's ever a connection issue, the device connected to the computer will continue logging data to the local tables. Once a connection is re-established, the linked tables should be updated with all the missing records which appear on the local tables.

I found several possibilities which I outlined below, but I've been asked to investigate whether there's a built in function in access that does this for you and use the other options as a last resort. Does access have any program feature that updates one table with missing data from another table, or will I have to write VBA code to do that? Options I've discovered:

1) Write unmatched query and insert missing data into table.

2) Create a linked table on MySQL that will link to the local tables on access, then compare the records there.The boss isn't happy with those options because he wants to keep the amount of code we add to a minimum. Ultimately, we hope that a program feature that does this is built in to access. If not, I have no problem adding code to do this instead.

Forms :: Sorting Fields - Syntax Error (Missing Operator) In Query Expression

Sep 16, 2013

I have created a form based on a query. The funny thing is when I tried to sort fields on the form, the following message box pops up:

Syntax Error (Missing Operator) In (Field Name)

I just did the exact same thing several weeks ago, and that first form could sort fields normally. The only difference between the first one and this is that this second query was based on several tables, while the first was based on a single table, although I doubt that is where the problem is.

I forgot to add that I could sort fields where the field name doesn't have spaces in it. For example, the field name "Customer ID" triggers the syntax error, while the field "S/N", "Company", etc. can be sorted like normal.

Queries :: Query To Insert Missing Rows From Another Query / Table

Oct 8, 2013

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:

WorkerID | DayID | HourID
----------+---------+--------
1 | 5 | 12
4 | 5 | 13
16 | 5 | 15


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:

WorkerID | DayID | HourID
----------+---------+--------
1 | 5 | 12
4 | 5 | 13
| | 14
16 | 5 | 15

Using Criteria To Update Fields In A Update Query

Nov 29, 2006

Ok, i have a question about update queries.I have two tables (I'll call table 1 and table two for simplicity) and an update query.

Queries :: Update 3 Fields In Master Table

Feb 19, 2014

I'm having problems with an Update query. I have data coming in on one file that I am loading to a temp table that I want to update on another table in my database. The problem is that when I run my update query, it is wiping out everything that DOESN'T match. I have 5 fields that MUST be equal before the update can occur. I'm trying to update 3 fields in my "master" table.

Here is my SQL:

UPDATE NPPDcopy LEFT JOIN tempNPPD ON (NPPDcopy.Hour_Ending = tempNPPD.Hour_Ending) AND (NPPDcopy.TieLineName = tempNPPD.TieLineName) AND (NPPDcopy.AdjBalancingAuthority = tempNPPD.AdjBalancingAuthority) AND (NPPDcopy.BalancingAuthority = tempNPPD.BalancingAuthority) AND (NPPDcopy.OperatingDay = tempNPPD.OperatingDay) SET NPPDcopy.Import = [tempNPPD].[Import], NPPDcopy.Export = [tempNPPD].[Export], NPPDcopy.Net = [tempNPPD].[Net];

Queries :: Update Newer Record With Older Fields

Apr 19, 2014

My table occasionally gets a second record added for the same person. What is the easiest way to update the new record with the non-zero fields from the older record, then delete the older record? There is a unique id field as well as a timestamp, so knowing which is older isn't a problem. Is there an easy way to do this?

Queries :: Update Fields By Splitting Text From Other Field

Nov 28, 2014

I have one field called FULL_ADDRESS. From that field I am going to populate two other fields. One called ADD_1 and the other, ADD_2.

In the FULL_ADDRESS field I have the following text :

"BOX 2747 ROCKY MOUNTAIN HOUSE AB T4T 1L7"

I want ADD_1 updated to:

"BOX 2747 ROCKY MOUNTAIN HOUSE AB"

and ADD_2 updated to:

"T4T 1L7"

While I understand how to do an update if I was using a space as a reference, i.e.

Trim(Left([FULL_ADDRESS],Instrrev([FULL_ADDRESS]," ")-1))
Trim(Mid([FULL_ADDRESS],Instrrev([A]," ")+1))

I can't figure out how to skip the first space from the right, and reference to the second occurring space, so that I get "T4T 1L7" to populate the ADD_2 field, and everything to the left of "T4T 1L7" placed in the ADD_1 field.

Queries :: Update Field Based On Existing Record Fields

Jun 3, 2013

I have a field called uniqueID which I would like to update based on 2 other fields that are already populated in my recordset (from running previous queries). I heard it is not possible to do an Update Select like shown below.

select max(uniqueID) from myTable where a = "value of field a from first record in record set" and b = "value of field b from first record in record set"

If it is true that I cannot do an Update Select then I am trying to do something in VBA. How can I Loop each row in the record set and store the values from fields a and b. I would obviously then need to pass those values into the sql above and store the result in a variable. I would then do a straight update to put the value of uniqueID into myTable.

Update Fields In One To Many Query

May 1, 2008

I have a one-to-many query with two tables. I'm using the query as a record source for a subform.

The subform displays the correct data I'm after however I can't update any fields on the it due to the underlying query having a one to many relationship. I understand that and thats fine.

Problem is I need users to be able to update one field on this subform as required. Is there a way to allow this while keeping the underlying query the same?

Update Query-multiple Fields,1 With Data, 1 Without

Apr 10, 2008

Access2007- Building a query to handle future input...

I run an update query that does what it is supposed to do and gives the proper values.

THEN I add a one more field to the source with the builder using + that has no data in it yet, the query fails and gives blanks, even though one of the fields in the source has data in it.

I would think that the "no data" field would be considered 0.00 value and be added together to the field that has values giving at least the value of the field with values as a result of the query.

Is there a setting somewhere that I need to change so that the no value and the value would be combined? I am using the builder to combine the values in the query.

Thanks.
