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]));
Let's say Table (T1) has fields F1 and F2. After a massive update to T1, there are some records with F1 = "" because a Dlookup using F2 as criteria to another Table (T2) resulted in a null. I created a select query to show unique T1F2 values where T1F1 = "". The user can use this query to find out which F2 values need to be added to T2.
How do I create an update query that will update T1F1 with values from T2 using the T1F2 results from the select query to again use the Dlookup to T2 (of course after T2 has been updated to contain the missing F2's)?
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.
In access I queried my results and now I have to do this last step. I basically have an ID column and a tax fee column. I am trying to remove the duplicated ID numbers but if they are duplicated I need it to add up the tax fee column so I can have one ID with all the tax fees added up together instead of several different ones.
I tried doing the equivalent to a pivot table (works perfectly in excel) but when I tried doing it in access, it did not work.
I have a query with an INNER JOIN and ORDER BY that is working great. Now, using the same JOIN, I need to update values in one table with the values in another. I thought it would be simple until I learned you can't do an ORDER BY with an UPDATE. Is there another way to achieve the same result? If you remove the 'ORDER BY', the statement below doesn't produce an error but the results are not correct:
UPDATE TableA INNER JOIN TableB ON (Left(TableA.CDN,6))=(TableB.CDN) SET TableA.HCC = TableB.HCC WHERE TableB.HCC Like '241*' AND TableB.BBB = 'X' AND TableA.CCC = "1234" AND TableA.HCC IS NOT NULL ORDER BY TableB.HCC, TableA.CDN;
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.
modify the code below to Show the LocationName in the Schema Column instead of the MPID? I attached a pic showing the relationship between the two tables which contain the data I'm trying to query.
SELECT [Locations Query].LocID, Qry_MPLoc.MPID AS Qry_MPLoc_MPID, [Locations Query].Location, [Locations Query].Schema FROM [Locations Query] INNER JOIN Qry_MPLoc ON [Locations Query].[LocID] = Qry_MPLoc.[LocID];
explain me the Query Expression to remove the first 7 characters in a column, to rum a Query.Eg - I have entry like - 4/8/11-Pipe...I need to return the result like "Pipe".How to build the query.
I have a field called "SC" with a value 13-251. I need to remove the "-" ending up with 13251. I tried using, as a starting point, Mid(String, Start, Length) with no success. I found this in another topic, and thought this might be close to what I was looking for. I sure did not know how to use it. When I selected the run command I got the following response:
Query must have at least one destination.
I tried a few different things like adding an extra field and different pointers but I doubt if I'm even standing in the batters box.
I have a table listing about 20 elements as field names eg FE, CR, NI, TI and so on.
I have built a form which has a combo box listing these elements by selecting "fields" in the property settings of the combo box & next to this combo box i have 2 text box's where the user can input Min & Max values to pass on to the query.
E.g., FE (chosen from the combo box) value between (Text box1) and Text box 2.
I can run the query to give me values between the 2 text box's by using the following formula in the criteria (Between textbox1 and textbox 2).
The issue i have is to be able to select the element from the listbox, input the min & max values identified and be able to pass this to a query so the query can filter based on the field and values passed?
Created a new Query (called qry_Temp) from and existing Query (qry_Test that has fields Field1 - Field5) using QueryDef , and inserted a new Field (FieldX) into it (see example below) using the .Parameters property, then opened a Recordset based on the new Query in order to attempt to enter data values into the new Field (FieldX) for each record in the query - but cannot assign any data values to this new Field (but can to the existing fields) in the new Query?
Dim DB As Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim qdfNew As QueryDef Dim strSQL1 As String Dim strSQL2 As String Dim Value1 As Integer
Would I use an update query or function to complete my task?
Task: Automatically update [Status] based on DateDiff calculation of [RequestDate] and [DueDate]
Issue: [Status] can be one of 6 values, the user can manually select Review or Completed.
[Status] values: Review; Completed; Due in 24; Due in 24-48; Beyond 48; Over Due
Query: Below is the query I just started to ignore the calculation if either Review or Completed exist.
Expr1: IIf([Status]="Review",[Status],IIf([Status]="Completed",[Status],DateDiff('d',[RequestDate],[DueDate])))If the value from above DateDiff equals to the below, I want to update the [Status] field to the [Status] value.
Due in 24 = (0-1) Due in 24-48 = (2-3) Beyond 48 = (greater than or equal to 4) Over Due= (-1)

I have a column named "stuffno" that i should enter the id of my stuff.I should enter "no 111".I did this because some stuff dont have id's so if i make a calculated field. "No " & [stuffno]I will get in the field of stuffno1 "no " for the stuff without id..Ok now i want to make another column that contains just the id of the stuff..Is there anyway to take just the id numbet the contents of "stuffno" field without "no " so the "stuffno1" will be empty or it will contain just the id.
I'm trying to allow my users to do some analysis of existing data. they would like to be able to generate a report which will summarize sales orders against the month they were placed. They would also like to summarize this by between 1 and 4 other fields.
I have created a "filter" form to allow them to choose the values for each of the 4 fields and my plan is that they will leave them blank if they do not want to narrow them down. My problem is that I would like to remove the grouping on the field if they do not select a value for it.
Example data:
Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4, Cost, Month, Year 1,2,3,4,£20,4,2014 1,3,4,5,£10,4,2014 1,2,4,5,£5,4,2014
If they select nothing for any of the fields I would just want to see that my total for April 2014 is £35
If they select 1 in Field1 then I want to see one line with a total of £35 (i.e. it ignores the distinction of the other selectable fields)
If they select 1 in Field1 and 2 in Field2 the total would be £25
If they select 2 in Field2 and 4 in Field3 the total would be £5
etc. etc.
I am struggling because I need the distinct records to allow me to group on them when I need to but if I don't need to group on them I need to ignore the grouping.
Why update query isn't working when trying to update an multivalued field. In this table, there are 647 records and only 9 of which already have a value set in the "AssociatedProject" field. More than one AssociatedProject is associated with a vendor, so this field allows for multiple entries. I've looked at all the information on update queries and updating a multivalued field, but it will only update the existing 9 records. It does not recognize the remaining ones (they have no values yet).
Here's the SQL:
UPDATE Tbl_Vendor SET Tbl_Vendor.AssociatedProject.[Value] = 3 WHERE (((Tbl_Vendor.AssociatedProject.Value) Is Null));
I need to update the periodtype field in my table depending on different values in the field Formtype- I am looking to do this without having to use VBA. I have the following fields in a table - I want to update the value of the field Period_type as follows -
When Formtype is 10-Q, update Periodtype to "Quarterly"
When Formtype is 10-K, update Periodtype to "Annual"
The current value of Periodtype for both formtypes is "Semiannual"
I have a query which gets information from 2x tables where the I'd on one table is the reference number on the second table.I would like to know how I can remove the duplicates on my reference number field?
I have a created a query which I want to update a table. The field is called DTP. I have the Workingdays2 module in place as well as the Holidays Table. The dates (date only) are called Time in and Transaction date. I want the table to update records only if the entry in Completed is Yes. I have attached screenshot of what I have in query. I am no good whatsoever at VBA so I used the Query design view. It shows how many records will be updated (which is a valid number) and shows me which field will be updated. However when I run the query and then opend the Table the DTP field is empty.
