Noob! I am building an inventory db. I need a query(s) that uses a Qty available to add inventory added, subtract inventory used and put the final total back into Qty Available. I'd prefer to do in all in one query if possible. Any suggestions?
View RepliesHi,
I've created a db I plan on using for pricing out parts, the issue I'm having is that I'm getting a circular reference error.
The way my db is setup is like this Partstbl contains the information for all parts made. Some of these parts can have subassemblies and these parts will also be in the "partstbl". In another table called "Subassemblytbl" I choice the parts from the "parttbl". Parttbl has a one to many relationship with "subassemblytbl" The error happens when I created a query that was to calculate the part cost. This cost would then be displayed in the subassembly subform on my main form. I'm having some difficulty explaining this
if anyone can help I'd really appreciate it
I created a query that pulls information from 2 other queries and everything was going fine until I saved the query. I now get a circular reference error
SELECT [CashValue Link Query1].Facility,
[CashValue Link Query1].[Financial Class],
[CashValue Link Query1].Date,
[CashValue Link Query1].Date,
[CashValue Link Query1].[Total A/R],
[CashValue Link Query1].Current,
[code]....
Hi all,
I have a query which i'm trying to link to a listbox on a form.
One of the colums i'm trying to get in the listbox is from a lookup.
It should return either "in" or "out" but is returning the number values 1 & 2.
so....
i'm trying to write some criteria in my query that says if=1 then "in" etc
Here's what i've got but i'm getting a circular ref error.
In-Spec / Out of Spec: IIf([In-Spec / Out of Spec]=1,"IN","OUT")
Can anyone help please.
Cheers,
Spinkung. :)
circular references caused by alias 'filed name' inquiry definition select list? What should i do
thanks
I have (for this post) 2 tables.
department
====================
pk | d_id
--------------------------
| d_fund
fk1 | d_status_code_id
| d_department
fk2 | d_building_id
fk3 | d_contact_id
fk4 | d_note_id
| d_modified
| d_user
contact
====================
pk | c_id
--------------------------
| c_banner
| c_last_name
| c_first_name
| c_middle_initial
| c_job_title
fk1 | c_department_id
| c_department_text
| c_email
| c_phone
| c_modified
| c_user
As you can see there is a circular reference between them as each need the other's pk to ref a contact and department respectfully.
This will cause a problem during data entry will it not?
And if so, would removing the "req" status on either on remove the issue?
thanks
This is how I have my database set up currently, except the part highlighted in red.
I was asked to see if I can use the CAT (one) to narrow down the CLIN (to many) and this is how I think it should be structured. Is it okay to have this kind of circular relationship within the database?
Hi Foks,
I'm sure this has been asked and answered many times but I'm not having much success in searching for it as I can't think what to put in the search engine. My apologies in advance for the longwindedness of this posting.
Anyway, I have a database for tracking projects. As the projects evolve, they are sometimes amalgamated, split, dependant on other projects or implemented under a common contract with one or more other projects. Thus, a project can have none-specific relationships with multiple other projects.
To accomodate this:
I have a juction table, tbl_Related_Projects, with fields Project_ID and Related_Project_ID set up as a joint PK.
The PK of tbl_Prj_Details has 1-to-many relationships to both of these fields to create a "circular" many-to-many relationship between the tbl_Prj_Details.Project_ID field and itself.
A comment field in tbl_Related_Projects describes the nature of the relationship between the projects.
;) I hope I you're still with me and following this!;)
On my fdlg_Prj_Details, I have a subform for tbl_Related_Projects. A user can select related projects from a drop down list (Combo Box). So far so good.
Here (finaly :eek: ) is the question: When a user selects a related project (Project B) on the related project subform for Project A, how do I get the reverse relationship to show for Project B i.e. Project A is to appear in the related projects subform of the Project B record, along with the same comment?
I can't even begin to think how to achieve this but as it is a relationship issue, it must be what relational databases are all about and have been solved many times.
Currently a user must select the appropriate project in the related project subform for each record and enter the comment twice. The possibility and liklihood is that the relationship will not always be noted for both ends i.e. A will be related to B, but B not related to A.
:cool: Small caveat for any helpers here, I can copy, cut, paste and stumble/modify code, but at this early stage in my database carreer (ha!), I cannot write it from scratch - too many traps for beginners.
Having re-read this a number of times before posting, it is occuring to me that this is a more complicated problem than I thought it was. Many thanks in advance for any help and advice.

Keith.
I'm working on my first report and am trying to get my textbox, tboJob to show a field value and not the ID. I have tried the following Dlookup in my control source with no luck.
Code:
=DLookUp("[JobName]","Jobs","ID=" & [tboJob])
JobName is the field I want to show from the table Jobs.
I have a database which among other things records how jobs are received i.e.: Telephone, Email, Mail, Facsimile or Web.For each client I want to identify the percentages of each method of receipt against the total of jobs received and during different time periods.I have created a make table query for all jobs received between variable dates for a client entry of the name of the client and the start and finish dates are required to run the query.
I have a crosstab query set up to count each method of receipt and a final query to work out the percentages using the total from the crosstab query fields divided by the total of all methods.I have a macro set up to replace the table with new data when I want the stats for a different client between new dates, therefore the different methods of receipt may vary for the less active clients i.e.: they may only have telephone and email .
My problem is if I choose a client where we have not received a job by a particular method (say web or facsimile), the last query working out the percentages has fixed names to cover each method but naturally produces an error when it cannot find a corresponding method of receipt. I have experimented with NZ() without success.My question is can I either have preset standard names of the column field in a crosstab query? Alternatively in the query calculating the percentages, can I include code to ignore a non-existent field in the crosstab query.
I am really stuck. I have spent two days searcinh different forums trying to solve my problem. I am trying to create an UPDATE q to my Access database. But I get either the: "Syntax error in query. Incomplete query clause" or "Syntax error in UPDATE query".
First of all here's the URL: www.innotec-as.no/login/Kunder
Login U/P either: "alfen" or "thomas".
The page opening up shows the user info, U/P and adress.
viewing the information is working perfectly - but editing it..no way.
When editing and submiting the data the above errors occour.
Try that and you'll also see the SQL I am trying to execute.
The CODE is as follows:
SQLtemp = "UPDATE 'Brukere' SET"
SQLtemp = SQLtemp & " 'navn' = '" & request("Navn") & "', "
SQLtemp = SQLtemp & " 'epst' = '" & request("Epst") & "', "
SQLtemp = SQLtemp & " 'Pass' = '" & request("Pass") & "', "
SQLtemp = SQLtemp & " 'Firma' = '" & request("Firma") & "', "
SQLtemp = SQLtemp & " 'BAdresse' = '" & request("BAdresse") & "', "
SQLtemp = SQLtemp & " 'BPostAdr' = '" & request("BPostAdr") & "', "
SQLtemp = SQLtemp & " 'PAdresse' = '" & request("PAdresse") & "', "
SQLtemp = SQLtemp & " 'PPostAdr' = '" & request("PPostAdr") & "', "
SQLtemp = SQLtemp & "WHERE 'Bnavn' = '" & request("Bnavn") & "'"
Response.Write(SQLtemp)
Response.End()
conn.Execute(SQLtemp)
rs.Update[/COLOR]
The finished SQL statement looks like this:
UPDATE 'Brukere' SET 'navn' = 'Alf Byman', 'epst' = 'alf@baccara.no', 'Pass' = 'alfen', 'Firma' = '', 'BAdresse' = '', 'BPostAdr' = '', 'PAdresse' = 'sdfg', 'PPostAdr' = '', WHERE 'Bnavn' = 'alfen'
I have tried to user single quotes, doubble quotes, brackets etc. nothing works.
The code I use for connection is as follows:
<!--#include file="../adovbs.inc"-->
<%
dim conn, rs, SQLtemp
' DSNless connection to Access Database
set conn = server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Connection")
rs="DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; "
rs=rs & "PWD=uralfjellet; DBQ=" & server.mappath("../../../../db/kunder.mdb")
conn.Open rs
I'll be very HAPPY for some expert help on this.
All I'm trying to do is a make table (table name to overwrite: "TBL_5_7_RFCs") query via VBA so I can loop through a set of VARs in a table. Here is my code:
Code:
Public Function test_sql()
Dim Conn As ADODB.Connection
Dim RS As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim MySQL As String
Set Conn = CurrentProject.Connection
RS.ActiveConnection = Conn
[code]...
I'll add the loop and array once I get this working but I'm stuck.
Why can't I sort ascend on this in a query:

and get the error "you tried to execute a query that does not include the specified expression....
basically have two tables
ThreeWeekStatus (has TaskId and Status as columns)
RawData (OutlineNumber, OutlineDescription, Category, etc)
RawData. Category has values like planed tasks, milestones, unplanned tasks, etc.
ThreeWeekStatus.Status has values like on time, delayed, completed, late
TaskId and OutlineNumber are the same
now I want to take all the tasks that are in both ThreeWeekStatus and RawData and get a percent of of which tasks are completed. also want to group this by category so in the end have it as 80% of the tasks marked as milestones have been completed thinking of the following for the percentage...
(count number of tasks in both tables and marked as completed in ThreeWeekStatus table)/(count total number of tasks in both tables)
want to have similar queries for tasks that are on time, delayed, and late so there should be four
What I am trying to do is select the Max value in a field in a table in Access and set it to a variable. If I run the query from below in the query window it runs....when I try and launch if from code it bombs out....gives me an error:

A RunSQL action requires an argument consisting of an SQL statement.
I have other SQL queries in my code and they are running fine...whats differene about this one. How can I run it from the Query window and not from code?

I have "New Campaign" set as a Yes/No data type, and Income as currency. I have five different levels I'm trying to divide SumofGrossIncome into, such as
$0 to $750,000
$750,000 to $1,500,000
and so on...
These levels only work on existing campaigns. If it's a new campaign, I have different levels to go by.
In my query, I typed:
Level A: IIf(([New Campaign]="No") And ([SumOfGrossIncome] Between 0 And 750000),"A")
I'm getting the error "This expression is typed incorrectly, or it is too complex to be evaluated."
Am I missing something small, or totally off base?
Thanks.

I've been agonizing over this all day! This is the SQL for the query that I built:

I have a DB where I run two queries every week that extracts data from a Datawarehouse and appends records to a table. Then i run an update query that updates a policy status on the same table the appended records are added to.
For some reason this week when i try to run the update queary i get the following message:
Operation must use an updatable query.
Anyone familiar with this error? The table in not read-only and no other users are in the db
I have the following update query:
UPDATE DISTINCTROW MVADMP_SECURITY INNER JOIN Activity ON MVADMP_SECURITY.CUSIP_NO = Activity.[CUSIP#] SET Activity.[Wire Date] = [BK_ENT_DT]
WHERE (((Activity.[Fannie Mae Loan #]) Is Null));
which works fine in the production environment. However, in the test database, I get an updatabale query error.
The Activity table is a table that is local in each database, while the MVADMP_SECURITY table is in the back end and is used by both the test and production environments. Both Activity tables have the same keys and indexes. I have write permissions for Activity table in both environments, while no one has write permissions to the MVADMP_SECURITY in either environment.
I have tried both copying and importing it into the test environment and the result is always the same; updatabale query error. Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
I am wanting to run a query in my FE which takes data from a Linked DB and copies this to my BE for general user access. The query itself contains three tables with the final table being a Left Outer Join.
If I run this query to append to a table in my FE it runs fine. If I run it to append to the exact same table copied to the BE I get the error "Record is Deleted". If I then open the table there is nothing showing in it. If I then run a delete query on the table it find records to delete.
After some investigation I have discovered this happens whenever there is null data on the Left Outer Join table.
Does anyone know why this works fine appending to the FE but not the BE and more importantly how to resolve or work round this problem.
Many Thanks

Hi All,
I made a function to calculate the difference in hours between two times.
Function TimeDiff(Time1 As String, Time2 As String) As Double
'This function is used to calculate the difference in hours between two times.
'It is capable of handling a finish time that is after midnight.
TimeDiff = 0
If Not IsNull(Time1) And Not IsNull(Time2) Then
If CDate(Time1) > CDate(Time2) Then
TimeDiff = ((CDate(Time2) - CDate(Time1)) + 1) * 24
Else
TimeDiff = (CDate(Time2) - CDate(Time1)) * 24
End If
End If
End Function
I have a query where there are 2 sets of times in fields (Start1, Finish1, Start2, Finish2).
When I add a calculated column with the following expression:
Expr1: TimeDiff(Start1,Finish1) + TimeDiff(Start2,Finish2)
it calculates in the query correctly.
However, when I made a new function that incorporated this function, it gave me the #error result in the calculated field.
Function OrdinaryHours(Status As String, Start1 As String, Finish1 As String, Optional Start2 As String, Optional Finish2 As String) As Double
'Initialise
OrdinaryHours = 0
'If employee is NOT a casual
If Not Status = "CT" Then
If Not IsMissing(Start2) And Not IsMissing(Finish2) Then
OrdinaryHours = TimeDiff(Start1, Finish1) + TimeDiff(Start2, Finish2)
Else
OrdinaryHours = TimeDiff(Start1, Finish1)
End If
End If
End Function
Does anyone know why this would #Error. I have the TimeDiff function initialising to = 0 before doing anything...I am stumped why it returns #Error when it should return 0 in the case of something going wrong.

Hi,
I was wondering if i could get some help here. I got error message saying "user defined - typed not defined" and it's highlighting the first line that is WorkBase as Database.
Here is my code.
Dim WorkBase As Database
Dim WorkRS1 As Recordset
Dim rsNew As New ADODB.Recordset
Set WorkBase = CurrentDb
strSQL = "INSERT INTO [Projects](Project_ID, [OLD J_ID]) "
strSQL = strSQL + "VALUES ('" & myProjectID & "', '" & myOldPID & "')"
WorkBase.Execute strSQL, dbFailOnError
WorkBase.Close

Thank you in advance
I am trying to view a query in design view but everytime I right click on it (or any method) it brings up the:
syntax error in from clause.
I then have to say OK and that's it. Cannot view it.
Interestingly enough, the query works fine when called from my VBA code.
Know anyway round this?
I have created an append query to begin the transfer of terminated employees to a separate table then delete them from the Active file using a Macro. I get an error running the append query and I have attached the error to this thread. I answer all the halts in the affirmative and the process does happen the way I want it to. The terminated employees get added to the Terminated table and they delete from the Active table. I don't understand what the error is telling me and why its doing the job anyway. Thanks for looking.
INSERT INTO tblEmployeesTerminated ( EmpID, LastName, FirstName, Status, [Position], EmpDate, TermDate, LastChgDate )
SELECT tblEmployeeRecord.EmpID, tblEmployeeRecord.LastName, tblEmployeeRecord.FirstName, tblEmployeeRecord.Status, tblEmployeeRecord.Position, tblEmployeeRecord.EmpDate, tblEmployeeRecord.TermDate, tblEmployeeRecord.LastChgDate
FROM tblEmployeeRecord
WHERE (((tblEmployeeRecord.Status)="Terminated") AND ((tblEmployeeRecord.TermDate) Is Not Null));
