Queries :: Create Update Query To Budget Table Using Access Design View?
Feb 17, 2015
trying to create an update query to Budget table using the Access Design View:
Field: PctSls (in tblBudget) Update to: [Expense] / [Sales]. The update query always returns 0. However, if I create a Select query using the same calculation, the correct results is displayed. PctSls is defined in the Budget table.
I haven't worked with Access (2003) for several years but this seems too simple to be causing me such frustration. (Was only a casual user even then).
My issue is that one of my queries can be run, opened in SQL view, but not opened in design view. When I attempt to view in design view, Access freezes and I am forced to close the program. My database is split, FE on my local, BE on another computer on my LAN.
Below is the SQL, I tried to just copy and paste this code into a new query and I encountered the same issue.
I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut to expand the columns in "design view" of a query.
What I mean by this is rather than selecting all of the columns and double clicking to see the entire text, I'd like to be able to a shortcut.
The entire process as I see it involves 3 steps so I will need thesolution to the 3rd step.
(1) [ctrl+spacebar] to select initial column (2) [shift+arrows] to select all of the columns I need (3) [keyboard shortcut] will expand all of the columns "field" names to the size of the column heading
Alternatively, if you know of a shortcut that will expand the columns without having to select them first I'll take it!!
Code: Outfits: ID | Top Color ID | Bottom Color ID 1 2 1 2 3 4
Colors: ID | Name 1 Red 2 Blue 3 Green 4 Orange
I'd like to have a query in design view to have the following result
Code: Outfit ID | Top Color Name | Bottom Color Name 1 Blue Red 2 Green Orange
In design view, I can link "Color ID" to "Top Color ID" and "Bottom Color ID" but I don't know how to specify in the GUI to create "Top Color Name" and "Bottom Color Name".
I need constructing a find unmatched query. I don't really know what I'm doing with SQL and I think that I can only take things so far with query design view.
I have two tables. T_Productions and ProPro (see attached). In Access query design, I can only specify one matching criteria. I need a query that will show me records from T_Productions that don't have matching Production_Code (PpNum in ProPro), Avantage_Product_Code (PpPrNum in ProPro) and Step (PpEtape in ProPro) in ProPro.
What I have now only gives me the records where Avantage_Product_Code don't match PpPrNum.
Code: SELECT T_Productions.ID, T_Productions.Production_Code, T_Productions.Avantage_Product_Code, T_Productions.Step, T_Productions.Quantity_Required FROM T_Productions LEFT JOIN ProPro ON T_Productions.[Avantage_Product_Code] = ProPro.[PpPrNum] WHERE (((ProPro.PpPrNum) Is Null));
I am trying to hardcode in the field name. This is what I want to hardcode "TEXT(ROW(A17),"-0")" but the parenthesis and quotation marks are causing a syntax error. It appears like this
In some cases I create pass-through queries and use these in an Append or Make-table query to bring data locally.
All is well and fine until source data changes and the pass-through query runs too long and times out.
If needed, I can extend the timeout value in the Parameters of the pass-through query no problem, but when I try to open the Append or Make-table query in Design view to do the same, the pass-through query is first triggered and then throws the timeout, and I cannot access the Design view of the Append or Make-table
Is there a way to open an Append or Make-table query in Design view without invoking the source query?
I am using a query as part of a mail merge, there are two forms that use the query, create and view, both forms use the same table. When I click the print button the query runs, and mail merges in a word document.
What I need is a filter on the query which only shows the record currently open on which ever of the forms is open, so the mail merge only happens for the 1 record you want.
Why the ability to view the properties of an object within a form is not available when you double click on it in design view?
I was happily working away double clicking on a command button to edit some code when for some reason the next time I tried to edit it did not open up for me.
I was unable to access it even by right clicking on the object & selecting properties as that also appears to be disabled, not greyed out or anything but just does nothing when selected.
Have I inadvertently changed a setting somewhere that prevents the properties from being displayed?
I have a table called NewTransactions_tbl that I have been using for some time. I am trying to add a new field called CustomerProjectNumber. It's not being displayed when I look at the table view. I've attached an image showing the settings for the field. I am probably missing something obvious.
Hi, I have a table if I do view in design view has all validations in description.I am trying to copy this to excell or word so that I can get things started.. and I just cant seem to copy that view which I see in design. I got 174 fields so its obvious I cant copy and paste 174 times...
Hi all. I'm trying to figure out how to make a SQL query require ALL of the data in one record match ALL of the data in another record. I may be using the wrong term when I say record.
What I have is a job order form where I list order details. I list location, start date, client all of the skills the job requires. I also have a candidate form that lists candidate locations all the skills they possess. The skills for each form are drawn from a SkillsInventory table. Once I enter all of the job info into the job order form, a subform lists all matching candidates based on state, availability/start dates, skills and a couple of other items. Everything works fine with the exception that I am returning any candidates with any of the skills in the job order verses only those candidates with ALL of the skills I select for the job order.
I would assume I would enter something under one of the columns in my sql builder/design mode. If I view SQL view, here is what the statement says:
SELECT [EmployeeSkills].[SkillID], [JobOrderSkillsList].[SkillID], [Employees].[LastName], [Employees].[FirstName], [Employees].[MiddleInitial], [Employees].[EndDate], [JobOrders].[OrderID], [Employees].[City], [Employees].[DoNotCall] FROM ((JobOrders INNER JOIN Employees ON [JobOrders].[StateID]=[Employees].[StateID]) INNER JOIN JobOrderSkillsList ON [JobOrders].[OrderID]=[JobOrderSkillsList].[OrderID]) INNER JOIN EmployeeSkills ON ([JobOrderSkillsList].[SkillID]=[EmployeeSkills].[SkillID]) AND ([Employees].[ContactID]=[EmployeeSkills].[ContactID]) WHERE ((([Employees].[EndDate])<=Date()+14) And (([Employees].[DoNotCall])=False)) ORDER BY [Employees].[EndDate];
Is it possible to print the design view of a table?? If so how do you do it?? When Im the in design view and go go to file the print button is greyed out.
I have four tables in a single .MDB file. I need to export the contents of the Design View of each table to a text file. How do I go about doing that? I've tried the help files and Access for Dummies, but neither are giving me the info I need.
I have tables that are linked to the AS400 via a file dsn. Whenever i go to the table properties, i receive a message indicating that i may not be able to save changes, but im trying to go to the properties=>description so that i can change the description of the table, which will enable me to change the filepath of the dsn from a mapped drive to the full path of the filename. Whenever i change the description, the changes do not stick? Any solutions?::D
can anyone explain how to use a percentage in a table.
i have a field designated as data type "number" and format set to Percentage.
when i go to datasheet view and attempt to enter in these percentage (1%,50%, 34%, etc) it is multiplying the data entered by 100 (100.00%,5000.00%,3400.00%, etc).
I'm working on an Access 2007 database and any changes I make to a form or control will not save. I click the save button, and try keyboard shortcuts but when I close the form I get a prompt "Do you want to save changes to <whatever>":
If I click "Yes" the changes still do not save and I when I close the form it starts the cycle over.If I click "No" the form closes and the changes are not saved (obviously).
There is no VBA in the project but I've still tried a recompile as suggested for older versions of Access but no luck. There are quite a few embedded macros but I'm not sure how they could be causing this.
I have created a database table with 100+ fields with data. I now need to insert an additional 33 fields that will have a static default value between 1 and 33. I have already inserted the Line # field in the table between every 6 fields and gave it a default value. I now would like the existing database to update and reflect the new changes that were made for the new inserted fields.
