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?
View RepliesI 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.
Hi Guys, How do I make an SQL statement that returns records that are over a year old. I tried this...
SELECT * FROM tblExample WHERE Date<365
But that does not work.
Im trying to work on an db in Access 2007 that was migrated from Access 2003 (in fact its been migrated several times starting from Access 97). It executes and runs with no problems in both versions.
The problem is when trying to open some queries (not all) - Access is unable to open the query in design mode and gives me this error :
" is not a valid name. Make sure that it does not include invalid characters or punctuation and that it is not too long.
However, as I cant open it - I cant check it. Im pretty sure none of the fields have invalid characters (they do have spaces) and Im not sure how long is too long....
My database contain these:
- Products Table = [ID].AutoNumber, [Product].Text, [Active].Yes/No
- Orders Table = [ID].AutoNumber, [Product].Number, [Date].Date/Time, [Payment].Text
- Orders Form = [ID], [Product], [Date], [Payment]
I have [Product] in Orders Table and Orders Form as Combo Box for showing Product from Products Table.
And within product field on Orders, I want to make 'Active' product only showing up when choosing from combo box.
I made some records to test in Orders Form. Then I filtered Product from Orders Form with query:
Code:
SELECT Products.ID, Products.Product, Products.Active
FROM Products
WHERE (((Products.Active) Like Yes));
Then I changed some product 'Active' to "No"
And the old record disappearing.
How to make older record not disappearing when I filter some of field not being available to choose (because Active product uncheck)

How to build a query in Access 2010/13 that will not display any records that are older than 3 hours? See below for more specifics.
The criteria would be based on a field that houses the time (End Time) and also a field that houses a number (Status). So, only if the field in the record says 3 (based on the Status field) then it should not display the record after 3 hours (based on the End Time field) of being changed to a 3. Is it possible to do that?
I have attached a screenshot of what I am referring to.
I've built an an update query that updates a Yes/No field "Expired?" to "Yes" if the expiration date has passed i.e. if the current date is newer than the expiration date. I thought this would translate into the current date being greater than the expiration date?
UPDATE Alert
SET Alert.[Expired?] = 'Yes'
WHERE Alert.Current_Date>Alert.Expiration_Date;
When I run this, it identifies the records to be updated, but then stops updating the fields due to "a conversion failure."
Querying a field for a number of days from today's date but not had a lot of luck finding how to query this from a date in the future.
Currently I have as criteria for the relevant field:
Code:
<[Period Start (dd/mm/yy - less 5 years from financial year end)]
which prompts for a parameter but using this I have to figure out the date 5 years from the future date first and then enter this.
Surely there must be code that allows me to simply enter the date, in the prompt and this then shows me data of 5 years or older equipment!?

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];
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.
I have a table and I write a query to update some the coloum field.
The Scenario is as follows.

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

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]);

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I currently have a query set up which responds and filters by the date.
I use the current code in the criteria on the query for todays date less 7 days
Code:
DateAdd("d",-7,Date())
This works perfectly and I had no problem with it. However I need to adjust the criteria so it is less than 7days ago OR OLDER....
How would I go about doing that?
I have a database in Access 2007 - 2010 that I push out to a couple of different co-wokers.One of my co-workers is using MS Office 2013 and the buttons I have on the forms and reports look inflated.Is there anyway to prevent this in Design mode so what I see in my version is the same as the new version of Access?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a query which reads a table, calculates some values and updates some of the table's fields. The issue that I have is that sometime (and randomly) the update skips one record. The query uses an inner join and looks as follows:
Code:
UPDATE TEMP4 AS t1 INNER JOIN TEMP4 AS t2
ON (t1.Month = DATEADD(""m"",1,t2.Month))
SET t1.index=(1+t1.ratio)* t2.index, t1.ratio = IIF( t2.index=0 ,t2.ratio, t2.index)
I can run the query multiple times without seeing any problem. When the issue occurs I do not receive any error.
I should also add that the query/update is run via VBA code. Not sure if this makes any difference.
Why this happen and how I can force the query to always update all records?
I can do this in like 5 seconds in SQL Server but I can't get the query to even ALLOW me to update records.
Table1 - Columns
Query1 - ColumnDesc
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT C.Column
FROM Columns C INNER JOIN (
SELECT Cols.Column, Count(Cols.DataType)
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT Columns.Column, Columns.DataType FROM Columns) Cols
WHERE Cols.DataType = 'char' OR Cols.DataType = 'varchar'
GROUP BY Cols.Column
HAVING Count(Cols.DataType) > 1
) C2 ON C.Column = C2.Column;
Simple, straight forward query, that grabs all the rows from table Columns where there are more than one DataType per Column [name], and either one of those datatype strings are 'char' or 'varchar'.Now I want to UPDATE table Columns to set all of the columns whose "column" value is in the above query, and set all those DataType values to 'VarChar'. Thus I run that UPDATE query, and the above query should come back empty afterwords in SQL Server I would simply write:
Code:
UPDATE Columns
SET DataType = 'varchar'
WHERE EXISTS (
SELECT 1 FROM ColumnDesc INNER JOIN Columns ON ColumnDesc.COlumn = Columns.Column
)
And this would already have been done.But Access doesn't like that syntax. using the designer it created sql like this:
Code:
UPDATE Columns INNER JOIN ColumnDesc ON Columns.Column = ColumnDesc.Column
SET Columns.DataType = 'varchar'
But that wasn't an "Updateable" query.I have to run this on several patterns and right now I'm completely screwed if I can't get this to work.
My end goal is to have:
SELECT DISTINCT Columns.Column FROM Columns
return the same # of rows as
SELECT DISTINCT Columns.Column, Columns.DataType FROM Columns
for each duplication I will have to do different algorithm, but I can't even get one update query to work so I'm currently frustrated (and ready to reaffirm my belief that Access should have been discontinued 5 versions ago).
I have an mde database originally created in Access 2003. Will I be able to open it in Access 2007?
(I ask because this mde file was originally created in Access 2002, and wouldn't open in A03. We had to track down the creator and get her to resend a new mde file that was 03 compatible. Are we going to run into the same problem after the next upgrade?)
We have a ton of Access 97 DBs I've been asked to "fix". Since moving to Windows 7 some of them have been giving Error70 comands, which I've narrowed down to Sendkey not playing nicely with Windows 7. Anyway, I was able to fix it for one user by turning UAC off. Not my preferred way to operate, but it's a stopgap until I can get this mess sorted out.
Ok, here's the code. This is an event procedure that is tied to a date field where staff are to enter a date in MM/DD/YYYY format. For some reason there is no tab order anywhere on this DB so they have to click to enter. In the past they had to make sure that they clicked at the left most M in MM to make the entry.
It appears that this Sendkey is the culprit here. Is there anyway I can safely remove that w/o breaking something? I cannot get sole access to this DB as it's in use pretty much 24/7 until the 11pm backup for the server it resides on. It is Access 97. I was thinking of just pulling the macro from that field but then again I am not an Access person by any means,

I have this update query that is triggered by an after update event on a main form. The record being updated are in a continuous subform. It works well except from the last added/modified record. If I save and close the form and then open it again it works for all records but if modify or add a record, the update query will not work for that last modified/added record.
