Queries :: Update Or Delete Query To Remove Data From Table
Sep 18, 2014
I have a database that needs data to be reentered every school term, at the moment i am having to delete selected data fields manually. im looking to create a query so that the data is deleted by running it. The data would be returned to a blank field. I have tried using a delete query but it is asking for the selected table, even though a selected table exists. Using the update query i am faced with updating the query to a typed word however i just want it blank.
I am wondering if there is a quicker way to export a query to excel then have the data in that query removed from the original table. (effectively cutting the data from the table and exporting to excel)
I understand that this can be done by exporting the query to excel then running the same query as a delete query to remove the data but I just wondered if this is the most efficient way.
I have experience of VB in excel but currently only use the basic macro builder in Access though if Access VB is more efficient I can easily learn.
What I have a a form that my lab supervisor would use. That person selects the records that are to be modified and assigns work, completes work or otherwise updates the status of the records. One of the options is to mark a record as not having a sample here if it has already been marked as having been here. So essentially, I want to modify the record to change the sample arrival date and sample number field (which is a foreign key field) to null or empty. I have created a delete query that deletes the corresponding record just fine.I just am having difficulty updating the two fields mentioned above. When the supervisor selects the record the primary key for that record is also picked up so it is easy to know exactly what record to adjust. The query returns the information to be updated just fine, it just doesn't do that. Here is the sql of the query. As I said, I don't care if the fields are empty or null. Also the fields aren't required.
Code: UPDATE TestRequestTable SET TestRequestTable.SampleLocation = "", TestRequestTable.SampleArrivalDate = "" WHERE (((TestRequestTable.TestRequestNumber)=[Forms]![LabScheduleForm]![TRNumberCombo]));
I have a table that is updated from an update query which gets its data from a table, which gets its data from a form. I have set the query to only update the current record, this is done by a macro when the user exits the input box. The problem arises when a user goes to visit past record, I would like it to not overwrite the old data with the new data. If the query was only allowed to ADD data and not overwrite then this would fix the problem!
I have a form built with multiple buttons. Once the user clicks the button and enters their parameter, I am using VBA to export the data to an excel pivot table. I would like to turn the subtotals to false so as the user clicks the check boxes in the pivot there are not any totals, subtotals, or grand totals. I am not sure how to add that to an existing query?
I have a Query which can pull data to a form, then the form will evaluate the ID, after saving/recording, I need to delete the evaluated data on the query.
My problem is how can i delete it? There is Table1 for outputing the evaluation, Query1 where the evaluation can get the Data.
Process Flow: > Form pulls data from Query1 > Evaluation was saved on Table1 > Evaluated ID should also be removed on Query1
I have a table called "EquipmentRequired" which is populated by 4 append queries,
5000BaseReq, 6000BaseReq, 6000IFBBReq, EquipmentReq which get some of their information by counting fields in another table but all have the same field names.
The queries contain all data that is initially used to append new records to the table and this works fine.Unless some information changes or a record is added then I would like to add a button to a form and call it "update equipment" behind which would run a vba code firstly to delete all the records in "EquipmentRequired" table then run the 4 queries without the warnings and re-populate the table.
I have a Table1 served by Form1..It is a list of: UnqID, process, quantity, totaltime(in seconds).I want to click on a record to bring up a filtered Form2 with the chosen record on it.What I want to be able to do is to now split the quantity (and the time) and put these new records back into Table1 and delete the original record
EG
ID1,10,write a report,2400
I want to delete this and replace it with two (or three/four etc) replacements, but still adding up to 10 quantity and 2400 seconds so that the new data could be:
ID2,5,write a report,1200 ID3,5,write a report,1200
My initial thoughts are to create a holding table to:Append filtered data on Form2 to a holding Table1hld (i don't know how to do this) delete data in Table1.then enter the new quantities into a holding Table2 (that I will input myself) and then append (through a series of queries back into Table1).The first problem is how to append (and subsequently delete) the filtered record from Form2 to Table1hld.
I use the following code to delete from a table all records except those meeting the WHERE criteria:
Code: DELETE tblABC.*, tblABC.SubjectID FROM tblABC WHERE (((tblABC.SubjectID)<>99 And (tblABC.SubjectID)<>432));
I'd like to run this exact same query, but on many other tables, all of which are stored in tblTablesToClean (TableID, TableName).
Any good way to have Access loop through the list of tables in tblTablesToClean, each time passing the name of the table into the DELETE code and running the code, until all tables have been processed?
I have an "order details" table that needs to populate a field called "Voucher" with data from another table called "codes". The "codes" table also has a true/false field called "allocated" because once allocated the code cannot be re-used.
I am trying to work out how to automatically allocate the next unallocated code in the "codes" table to each record in the "order details" table when that order details record has a DiscountID of "92".
Order Details Table Fields and conditions/criteria: ID - primary key DiscountID - only when the DiscountID = 92 Voucher - only populated when Discount ID = 92
Codes table Fields and conditions/criteria: ID - primary key code = text field with a code like "einstein01", "einstein02" Allocated = False
Is there a way to put the next available code into the order details record then mark that code as allocated in the codes table. Then, move on to the next order details record that has a discountID = 92, input the next unallocated code and mark that code etc. etc.
Ideally, I would like to do this to happen via an event when the Order forms button "Close" is clicked.
I'm trying to run an update query on a field called "DisplayURL" to remove all of the spaces that the field contains. Some have 1 space, some 5 and some have no spaces.
I'm using Access 2000 and the replace function ( Replace("DisplayURL"," ","") or Replace([DisplayURL]," ",""). However it produces an error stating that there is an "Undefined function "Replace" in expression".
I've searched online and found that Access 2000 doesn't have this function, but its easy to create a "wrapper" to make it work.
I've tried various examples online with no luck. Does anyone know what "module" I'd have to create to get this working, and how to "call" the function as I do not understand how to do this?
Thanks in advance for your help, I've been having a nightmare with this problem.
All; using 2010. I have a table that I need to update some data from another table. I want to use the SSN but one of the SSN fields in the table has letters at the end of it and doesnt return any records. How can I join fields?
I am accessing an oracle database that has several thousand records in it. I am quering for specific requirements, but would like to save my query results in a local access database for faster searching capabilities. Is there a way for me to set up a query that will go out to my oracle table files, select the records that pertain to my search criteria, and add records to locally stored tables without duplicating itself each time that I run the query? I would appreciate any assistance in this matter. Thanks for your help!
I was wondering if someone could help? I am using Access 2002 and I am struggling to find out out how you can insert/update/delete records through a form using the design view. Is this possible or do you need to do this another way?
Could some one point me in the direction of a comprehensive tutorial or outline some instructions for what I need to do?
I need to create a form that inserts people's details into a table
When user types in a surname as a parameter query, up pops the form with the details of the person stored in the database, and the user can update the details through the form and the details are saved to the table they came from.
What I'm trying to do is making Cascade update and delete between two tables. For example in my case I have Field called Full name in table1 and I want the same field in table2 that will update when something is added in table1 and vice versa. I have tried relationship but I got an error that those fields does not have any unique value.
How do I get an update query to only copy part of a fields value?For example: The original field has a date in month, day, and year. I only want to update the new field with only the year.
I have been spending all my today to fill a combobox dynamically, but have not been able yet.
I have a combobox and a pass-through query in access, which is working fine and fill the details into the combobox via data source. Now what I am planning to do is to update the combobox source as soon as value in a text box changes.
Here is the code I am using, but it is not working:
Dim rs As Recordset Dim qDef As QueryDef Set qDef = CurrentDb.QueryDefs("get_data") qDef.SQL = "SELECT Initial + ' (' + Name + ')' uws FROM EM.dbo.UW" _ & " WHERE lob = '" & addSingleQuotation(Me.CMB_LOB.Value) & "'"
Me.cmbUM.RowSource = qDef.SQL Me.cmbUM.Requery
I also used Recordset, but did not work:
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("get_data") Me.cmbUM.RowSource = rs!uws
In access Im working with two tables, this is my setup
tableA.documentnr tableA.revison
tableB.documentnr tableB.revision
Both tables are filled with data, Table B contains the same kind of data as table A, But tableA has documentnumbers with different revisions (for example revision a,b,c, for each revision a seperate row). Table B might have an identical document, but just one revision (like revision a).
Now I like to append the data of tableA to tableB, except if a revision is similiar to a revision in table A. (There is more metadata involved, but I will do it step by step)
Im not working with primarykey data, becayse in the end result table B will also have multiple (identical)document numbers with different revisions on different rows.
I tried to use the update query but it doenst append the documentnumbers where the revision is not present in table B I attached a image of the tables.
I would like to run a query and then be able to edit that information. I want the data I change to be put into the table the info was gathered from. Right now when I edit the query data it only saves it there, not on the other table. I tried to do the copy to table but the original table was going to be erased and then written over. What should I do? thanks
I have 2 tables that hold similar data. In one table tblMultiSchedule I have a few blank columns. I want to update each column(ActualCost*) with the correct data which is stored in tblOrdersItems. the corresponding fields in each tbl are
I have created the tables I need for my Access Web App.I would like to create queries.I cannot update fields that show in the query (fields have a grey frame and cannot be edited) . I have even created a completely new app with only 1 table (no relationships whatsoever in case this may influence). It is still not possible to edit any field in a query (that would update the underlying table). Are there any general settings in Access I need to enable? Is there a setting in Sharepoint I need to enable?
