I have a database X, I want to append data from tables in another database Y, into database X (tables in both databases have the same name: [Y].[Names] into [x].[Names]).
My question is:
How to make this happen by allowing me to search for Database Y (like if i want to save a Word file, a window will open searching for the folder i want to save the Word file in).
So I am pulling data from a SQL data base into access and appending it to certain tables. To do this I have 15ish append queries. Is there a way to have them run in a certain order with one command?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI am trying to write an append query which is based on a table (PA0041)having muliple columns. The columns are DAR01, DAT01, DAR02, DAT02, etc etc.
The data for DARnn will contain values such as S1, S2, S3 etc. For each of these values, there will be a corresponding date in the corresponding field DATnn.
The table PA0041 looks something like this:
Employe Number, DAR01, DAT01, DAR02, DAT02, DAR03, DAT03 ...
1, S1, 21/02/2006, S2, 13/01/2006, S3, 10/01/2006
2, S1, 15/02/2006, S2, 09/03/2006, S3, 18/02/2006
3, S1, 06/01/2006, S2, 16/02/2006, S3, 01/03/2006
4, S2, 03/03/2006, S3, 26/01/2006
There may be up to 10 columns for each - i.e. DAR01 up to DAR10.
I can append them into 1 append table if I write 10 queries. What I would like to know whether it is possible to do this using 1 query. I need to write both the date type and the date into the table.
In addition I need to know whether any employee is missing any date types. If I have a table called tblDateTypes which holds the date types that I would expect the employee to have as a minimum, how can I check for any employees who do not have a required date type.
If the data contained in tblDateTypes is as follows:
DateType
S1
S2
S3
In the above example I would expect the end result to flag the fact that employee 4 does not have date type S1.
Let us assume in the above example that the employees all exist in the table PA0041 - even if they don't have all the required date types.
Let me know if you need more information.
Thanks,

I have made several extractions from back ups from our ERP system using maketable querys. Each time when I renamed the table after running the maketable query. I now want to add them to create one big table showing the records which I extracted. I now found that each time when I extracted from my back up tapes there was a little overlap in time which gives me double entries when I use an append query to add them al together.
Is there a way to set parameters which filter our double entries and only adds the unique records to this table?
Hello,
Is it possible to pass a AutoNumber Format variable and data to a new table using an Append Query? If not does anyone know what I can try?
Thanks!
I understand that I can use an append query to add data to a table from a form and then have it run by using a command button. I want to do this because when I link the form directly to the table I do not want the form to create a new record every time it is invoked. (it does this automatically because I have visual basic code move to acNewRec and fill in some of the fields on load and lock them off, this is neccessary) I also do not want it to create the record immediately because the user might then decide to cancel their actions and leave the form - then I have half a record's worth of data in my tables! :D
I could just use VB and recordsets to do it but SQL is more elegant. The problem is, when I use the append query it appends an extra record to the table for every single record that already exists within it. So a table with 1500 records will have 1500 new entries containing duplicate data!
This is all a mess, so what would be a better approach? The user does not need to navigate through the records on this form or make edits, it's strictly for additions. There is a subform linked to a table that is in a one-to-many relationship with the table that the parent form must update to, but I'm quite happy to leave that one linked directly.
Any suggestions appreciated ;) I've probably done something thick..
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 am trying to accomplish this in a macro. I know I was able to do this in older versions of access.I want to get data from a query and paste and append into a table. When I started to design the macro this is far as I got:

Macro:

The ? marks I cannot find any options in the macro actions catalog.
I want to set a table field's default value to whatever is displayed in a certain field on a certain form at the time.In other words, say I have a database with a table called TABLE1, and two fields called NAME and SCHEDULENUMBER. I have a form called CreateSchedule with a SCHEDULE NUMBERCONTROL form and a NAME form, and I can enter names onto it, and it records to the proper SCHEDULENUMBER. So if I pull up SCHEDULENUMBER 4, and add three names, when I go back into TABLE1, I can see those three new names, and each one has the SCHEDULENUMBER set to 4.
What I'm trying to do is write an APPEND QUERY to copy a list of names from a different table, and paste them into TABLE1. The problem is that the other table doesn't have a SCHEDULENUMBER field. What I want to do is put a button on the CreateSchedule form that runs an APPEND QUERY, and sets the SCHEDULENUMBER to whatever value is displayed on CreateSchedule's SCHEDULENUMBERCONTROL field.
I tried setting a default value in TABLE1's field properties for that SCHEDULENUMBERCONTROL field, but I keep getting error messages. I just want TABLE1, whenever I add a new record (regardless of how I add the record: manually typing it or clicking the append query button) to look at the form CreateSchedule, and set it's own SCHEDULENUMBER field to whatever is displayed in CreateSchedule's SCHEDULENUMBERCONTROL form.
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'm receiving an error indicating there is a data type mismatch when running a query named qappInventoryTakeOn.
Data is entered into the Inventory Transaction Form. If the transaction type is "Take On", when the update button is clicked the record will be saved to tblInventoryMovements and then qappInventoryTakeOn should run to update tblInventory, but I keep running into the aforementioned error.
hi Guys,
I have been looking at different post and checking Microsoft help files as well, but still can't seem to fix this problem.
I am having 2 tables. The first table is connected to a form for viewing and entering data, and in the second table i am just copying 3-4 fields from the first table.
I am trying to use the insert statement to insert records in the second table, and everytime i click on the "Add" button to add the records i get the following error "MS access can't append all the records in the append query ... blah blah blah"
However if i close the form and reopen it, and goto the record (as it is saved in the first database) and now click on the add button to add the fields to the second table/database, it works.
What am i doing wrong???
Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.
Hi there I'm attempting to import records from an external database without losing the records that I currently have.
Eg if I have 3 records in my main database and 5 in the external one, I only want to append the 2 missing records and leave the other 3 alone.
Ideally what I want to do is the below
SELECT * INTO table
FROM [MS Acess;DATABASE=\pathexternal_data.mdb].[table]
WHERE id NOT IN (SELECT id FROM table)
Any ideas where I'm going wrong with the above?
Thanks for your help!!!

Hello,
I think i've done this before but I can't seem to remember the process so any help would be great. What im trying to accomplish here is I have a database that will be updated(new data appened) to on a daily basis from many other databases, but the data that is to be appened can come from various destination drives ie (C: drive, D:drive, CD, Thumbdrive, etc). I set up a dialog box that prompts the user to select the source database, but im not sure how I can store that source destination string and update my append query with that source database string. I believe there is a way to do this. Am I making any sense? Any help would be so great. Thank you in advance.

I have a form with subform, containing data from 2 tables on a 1 to many relationship. I would like to append the data in the form and subform to 2 seperate tables. The destination tables each have primary keys, (autonumbers) along with the fields I wish to append from the original tables. Can this be done by writing an append query? If so how. I want to append the 2 sets of data and keep the relationship between both sets and this is what is causing problems beacuse the primary keys of the original tables will not be the primary keys of the destination tables. Hope I have explained it ok.
