Queries :: Update Query To Add One To Current Value?
Dec 18, 2014
im working on an update query (written in VB coding) for one of my tables, for now im just setting the value to 1 (as currently all the data is set to 0, so for now it works), however id like to improve upon the query and get it to add 1 every time instead of setting it to 1 (i can work with it the way it is, but changing it would give me more info)
currently its at
DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE tblBatches SET tblBatches.batchCarryover = 1;"
I am attempting to build a small database for my firm to keep a track of equipment. The equipment can be in one of three places. In the warehouse, out on a job or at the repairers. I want to create a query that will let me know where a piece of equipment is at any one time. I'm sure my tables are set up correctly. I have use a union query to work out when equipment is on a job or in repairs but I need one to show me where all the equipment currently is.
I have a database that has 2 forms. After submitting the first form, the user should complete the second form within 24 hours. The first form stores the Date/Time the form was submitted. I want to be able to run a query and have a column in the query that is "Time Remaining". In non-technical terms, this column would be: Date/Time form submitted + 24 hours - Current date/time.
all using access 2010. I have a date field. I need to write a query to pull out dates with current year only. ex data: 1/1/10, 1/1/11, 2/1/12, 2/1/13. Need to pull all dates with current year which would be 2/1/13. Tried in query criteria of the date field: =Format(Now(),"yyyy") I received data mismatch. this is a date/time field.
I have a query pulling data from two other queries (qry_Reports and qry_Surveys). Clients may have more than one ReportID, but only one ClientID. I need to query for only the most current ReportID (which is the larger value) for each client to find the surveys for the most recent report. How can I query for only the most recent report for each client based on the highest value of the ReportID per ClientID?
I am a relative Newbie so if my question sounds stupid, bear with me:
I have a form with a subform linked to a query.
On the subform i have a checkbox[Recieved] and when checked adds a date to another field [Year] on the subform which in turn updates the record in a table[Orders].
I then click a command button on the form which runs a crosstab query based on the updated fields in the table [Orders].
This works well except for the last record ammended which does not update the [Year] field in the table [Orders]. When the command button is clicked it is still the current record in the subform.
clicking another record in the subform solves this or closing the form and reopening it before running the crosstab query.
Is there an easier way to automate the update? So that the user does not have to select another record first.
I have a form(F_Roll) that runs from a query(Q_roll) which asks the user to input the date. New records are made from this form, and it also allows the user to look at the records from past dates. On this form, my next button creates a new record for that date and fills a field called "RollNumber" with a running counter based on the CurrentRecord. If no roll is present for that date, "RollNumber"=1. If the "Next" button is pushed and "RollNumber"=1, then on the next record, "RollNumber" is filled with 2. If 2 then 3,etc. "RollNumber" is my primary key for the table(T_Roll), and actually, I have the date in front of the counter. The data in "RollNumber" is like "071206-1", "071206-2", "071206-3", "071206-4", etc. What I want to do is have a button on my main form(F_Roll) that will open a new modal, pop-up form on top of my main form that allows the user to enter data for the next record(roll) while still on the current record(roll). I can get it to work if the next record(roll) has already been made. But if I make a new record through the pop-up form and then try to goto the next record I my main form, I get a primary key error about making duplicate primary keys when trying to save the record. The problem is(I think)- The query for the main form has already ran, so it doesn't recognize the new record made from the pop-up form. When the next button is pushed, it is creating a duplicate record(roll) in the primary key. Does anyone have any ideas how to work around this? I am using Access 2003
I run a physical therapy office and patients come in for treatment either 3, 4 or 5 times per week. My database is used to track these frequencies (among other things).
I have 3 queries which count how many patients come in 5, 4 and 3 times/week.
In my main table I have fields called "how many 5's", "how many 4's" and "how many 3's".
I have tried to design an update query which will update those fileds in my main table to reflect the counts in the 3 queries mentioned above.
(I'm not using SQL view, I'm using the query design view)
In the "update to:" row, I use the Build function and locate the count I'm looking for.
Problem: when I run the query I get the error: Operation must use an updateable query.
I have a small problem: I just want my form to update the current record because I'm opening (with a button) a second form which uses the values of some of its table fields. If I open 2nd form without updating, it will use old values, and if the record I was worknig with is a NEW record, 2nd form simply can't find it because it's not been written! So: 1. I want to tell the button to UPDATE record before opening the 2nd form. 2. In addition, I could want to go to 2nd form DIRECTLY from the same field I want to update and use in 2nd form (through a Keypress event instead of a button), but this is more difficuolt because I still didn't EXIT from the field but I already want to use the text manually updated in the field... any idea?
I am facing problem regarding updating of certain field of table. For example i would like to take data from a column of Table1 and would like insert that data into particular column in Table2.
Suppose Table One has data:
Table 1 ID Name amount 1 a 0 34 b 0 3 ab 0
Table2 ID Name amount 34 a 400 1 b 900 3 ab 4500
There are about 2000 records in each table.I would like to update column "Amount" of Table1 by taking data from Table2 "Amount" Field. how can i update the amount column by keeping the ID field?
two tables: Addresses, Instructions One form_one subform: User form
The user form contains set of instructions for each company that we take care off, the sub-form has all of the addresses for the company, these come from the "Address" table, the two are linked via a field called "companyID" so the subform only displays the addresses for the current company being viewed on the form.
The problem is, on the subform there is a dropdown box called "administrator" and this is used to select the person who is looking after the company. Some of the companies have hundreds of addresses, so when i click the next record button on the subform I have to fill in the administrator again for every address for the same company. Is there a way using vba or a simple function to auto update all of the "administrator" dropdown boxes for that company based on the administrator I select for the first address.
I have the following module which displays the backcolor of a checkbox label if it is true or false
Private Sub FormatLabel(chk As Control) With chk.Controls(0) If chk Then .BackColor = vbYellow .BackStyle = 1 .ForeColor = vbRed
[Code] .....
Which works great! But I cannot figure out how to make it work in the control AfterUpdate Event. I tried using it in the current control's (checkbox) after update event
Dim itm As Control If itm.ControlType = 106 Then FormatLabel itm
but nothing happens (no change, no error message).
I have tried creating a new module:
Public Sub CheckBoxFormat(chk As Control) If chk = -1 Then chk.BackColor = vbYellow chk.BackStyle = 1 chk.ForeColor = vbRed Else chk.BackColor = vbWhite chk.ForeColor = vbBlack End If End Sub
But when I try to call it in the AfterUpdate event for the particular checkbox
Private Sub CheckBoxA_AfterUpdate() Dim itm As Control If itm.ControlType = 106 Then CheckBoxFormat itm End Sub
I get the error message "Expected Variable or Procedure not module"
So, (1) is my module all wrong or (2) am I calling it incorrectly or (3) wrong on both items?
I have a FORM linked to a table, this is to update the current volume with the volume taken at different levels. Here is the code I used, some how current status Vol is not getting updated in the table and then in the FORM.
Code: Sub Volume_taken() Dim dbs As Database Set dbs = CurrentDb() dbs.Execute "UPDATE [Login_test] SET [Login_test].[Current status Vol (µl)] = " & _
I have form1 that has the current commodity When i need to change the commodity I want the following to happen when they click a button: open the commodity change formthat form has a drop down to select a new commodity and a date of commodity change date fieldWhen the user submits it will move existing value to history along with the Date of change (separate table)Next it will take the value in the new commodity box and make it the current commodity
My thinking is that when i click the button to open the change form I can save the commodity at that time but I wont have the date yet. Just not sure of they best way to go about this.
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
possible to have an update query to only update 20 rows with a new data in the fields? And, how do I pass the information that I want to update only data from a certain date.If I have the word Cat and want to update it to Dog, but only with the dates 12-01-2014, where do I need to put the date part (also possible to do this for dates that are greater than 12-01-2014).
Now I have huge data from tbl_bill which contains mix PONumber depends on type. If bill_type is type1 then it will get data from tbl_type1 table and vise versa. the problem is tbl_type1 and tbl_type2 is changing, when someone update this table then the data in tbl_bill will not match to 2 tables.
Now, i need an update query where I can update all records of tbl_bill to match with tbl_type1 and tbl_type2 PONumber.
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?
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 am on Access 2007, and know very basic stuffs to create tables, queries, and form search. I have just successfully completed a search form filtered with a combobox. Also I have a built-in subform within the main form to display other results as well. The display results are based on one complex query (relational query). Now I need to add a command button that would take me to another form to update the current record found.Quick on the design:
- When I search a subject in a main form(subject lists in the combobox), it would populate results below in the main form and also subform would populate other results as well.
1. Add a command button so can take me to new form, but would need to have the current record populated. 2. Once updated, then how do I save it?
Is it possible to create an update query where the Update To field is set to the results of a previous query? I've been playing around with the Design View but I haven't figured out how to do this yet.
I currently have the sql below... UPDATE tbl_Node_List INNER JOIN qryUpdate_P1 ON tbl_Node_List.Zip = qryUpdate_P1.[Zip Code] SET tbl_Node_List.[Date Sent] = (SELECT [MinOfAudit Date] FROM qryUpdate_P1), tbl_Node_List.[Date Recv'd] = (SELECT [MaxOfAudit Date] FROM qryUpdate_P1) WHERE (((tbl_Node_List.Zip)="35243"));
but I get an err.msg stating the operation must use an updateable query.
What I am trying to do is update my dates in 'tableA' with the max and min values stored in 'tableB'. I have read some of the posts but still can't quite get it. As always all help is appreciated.
I was working on an update query while joined to another table - and the error I was receiving was the query was not updatable. Er... The table that was being updated sure seemed able to be updated...
Then I wondered if the reason this didn't work was because the other table I was updating from was a query whose records were sum'd and group'd by..I ended up testing the idea by inserting the query's records into a temp table and then did the update to the target table from the temp table... which worked fine.
