Query Not Updateable?!?

Sep 29, 2005

I have a form that is based on a query that has all of the sudden become non-updateable. After searching this site for a while - I found someone who had a similar problem, it was reccomended to check the query the form is based on to see if it could be updated. I did that with mine and the query COULD NOT be updated either.

To the best of my knowledge - nothing has changes with the tables the query is based off of or the query itself.

Any ideas what else to look for?

Query Not Updateable

Oct 18, 2007

Having a problem that's driving me nuts

I am trying to ship some inventory from a sales order line (query 2qryInvShip works fine) but when I join the query with another (to find the oldest stock) Shipped Qty, Shipped Location & Shipped checkbox cannot be updated

Any thoughts as to where I am going wrong with this much appreciated, I have have tried seemingly endless combinations of join types etc but to no avail

Predicate For Non-updateable Query...

May 17, 2005

Okay, it may seem like a silly question for one who's been using this as long as I but I was just curious if anyone had a concise answer as to the predicate for a non-updateable query?

Today I think I decided to stop using a workaround by creating a temporary table with duplicate information found elsewhere in the system.

Operation Must Use An Updateable Query?

Mar 7, 2006

Hello,

I was hoping someone on this forum might be able to help me.

I am trying to update a table with info in another table, using a nested query.

strSQL = "UPDATE tblTemp SET AdminNum = '" & cboAdmin.Text & "', " & _
"Size = (SELECT Size FROM tblEquipList WHERE AdminNum = '" & cboAdmin.Text & "')"

DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL

cboAdmin is a combo box on my form that is populated by tblEquipList.AdminNum.

When run this gives me:
Runtime Error '3073':
Operation must use an updateable query.

The SELECT statement works by itself, and the first part of the UPDATE (without the nested select) works by itself, but not when I combine them. I also need to update other things in the same manner in which Size is being updated, but when I can get this to work it shouldn't be a problem just added the updates for the other fields in there.

Thanks in advance,
Jeremiah

Edit:
Also, I figured I should add that when I remove the SELECT statment and put in a number (IE: Size = '400'), the query runs just fine. So I know the problem lies in the nesting, but am unsure how.

Problem With Updateable Query

Jun 1, 2007

Hi everyone,

I have four tables (all linked by a unique identifier) which I populate via data entry forms. I would like to give the user an option of making changes to the data by entering the unique identifier and displaying the specific record (from all four tables).

Is there any way to write an updateable query to accomplish this task?

I started with a query of two tables and this was updateable.

I then added a third table and now it don't work.

Here's the SQL statement
-----------------------------------------------------------------
SELECT tblPerson.*, tblPermaddr.*, tblTempaddr.*
FROM (tblPerson INNER JOIN tblPermaddr ON tblPerson.FILENO = tblPermaddr.FILENO) INNER JOIN tblTempaddr ON tblPerson.FILENO = tblTempaddr.FILENO
WHERE (((tblPerson.FILENO)=[enter fileno]));
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Any suggestions??

Many thanks in advance.

Union Query Datasheet Not Updateable

Mar 19, 2008

Hello All,
I have a database with multiple tables, each table with a subset of common fields I need to work with. The way the database was set up was a series of append queries that created a common table to combine the subset of fields. The problem with this is that I had to work with the common table but update the data in the parent tables and regenerate common table to keep everything up to date. To get around this I have created a union query to replace the common table but the data is not updatable. I have had a quick scan of the net and it seems union queries are not updateable by default. I understand the problem I have is a result of the database not being structured correctly however due to circumstances beyond my control, I am stuck with it. I have come across a couple of INSTEAD OF trigger examples but not sure quite how they work and if they can help me. Below is the SQL code for my union query so any help in making it updatable would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Daz

Update Query - Operation Must Use An Updateable Query

Jan 8, 2007

Hi,

As an Access novice I am trying to do a simple update of a table but keep getting an annoying error:

I have 2 tables - Products and OrderDetails

Products
ProductID
Description
StockQuantity

OrderDetails
OrderID
ProductID
Quantity

Basically I want to update the Products.StockQuantity column to subtract the sum of all orders in the OrderDetails table.

So if Product A started with a StockQuantity of 5, and there are 3 Order_Details record, each with a quantity of 2, the query should update the Products.StockQuantity record to -1.

I have tried a few permutations such as:

UPDATE PRODUCTS
set PRODUCTS.StockQuantity = PRODUCTS.StockQuantity - (
SELECT SUM(OrderDetails.Quantity)
FROM ORDERDETAILS
WHERE ORDERDETAILS.ProductID = PRODUCTS.ProductID);

but I seem to keep getting the following error:
"Operation must use an updateable query"

Help - I'm tearing my hair out here!!

Thanks,

Keith

Why Is This Not Updateable

May 26, 2006

In trying to help another member of these forums, I have this query:SELECT [Table1].[name], [Table1].[age], [Table1].[telephone], [Table1].[address], [Table1].[postcode], [tbl3].[ImageBMP]
FROM Table1, tbl3
WHERE [tbl3].[ImageID]=IIf(IsNull([postcode]),2,1);
Basically, the idea is that the image from tbl3 changes if the postcode field is null.

The WHERE clause seems to make this non-updateable, which I don't understand. Any explanation why, and how can I achieve the same result with an updateable result?

Recordset Not Updateable

Apr 7, 2006

I'm having a problem updating a form. The query from the form is based on two other queries, one of these queries is based on a table from an external database.

I want to use the Form to populate only data on my own database using a checkbox with:

If IsNull (Me.ReceiptDate) Then
ReceiptDate= ExternalReceiptDate 'where ExternalReceiptDate is the receipt date from the external table
End If

I have checked to make sure that the "unique values" of the queries are all set to No.

As I will only be updating data to tables that are on my database that are updatable. I'm hoping that someone can offer some advice if this is possible and why I'm still getting "recordset not updatable" when trying to enter any data to my data fields in the form.

Thanks

�This Recordset Is Not Updateable�

Dec 9, 2007

Hi,

I am trying to check a �Check Box� on my query, but Access won�t allow me to do so as �This recordset is not updateable� - Could anyone please offer an idea of how I can get around this problem�..

I buy lots of products from a supplier, for each product ordered I assign an order ID, and have a check box called �Delivered� for each product to show whether it has been delivered or not. When the delivery arrives I print out our order onto paper and tick each product that has arrived, then I go onto the Access database and tick all of the boxes for the products that have arrived.

This way, any products that haven�t arrived and have not been checked show up on a query to show all products that have the �Delivered� field unchecked.

9 times out of 10 all of the products arrive, so I want to perform a group query on the order ID, and then check the box for the whole order to show that all the products arrived � rather than having to tick off each product (sometimes there can be up to 50 products, and I�ve already gone through the process once on paper so if they are all there I don�t want to have to do it all over again).

For example, the following shows the printed report for the order �1234�:

[Order ID] [Product ID] [Supplier ID] [Delivered]
1234 1 Supplier A NO
1234 2 Supplier A NO
1234 3 Supplier A NO
1234 4 Supplier A NO
1234 5 Supplier A NO
1234 6 Supplier A NO
1234 7 Supplier A NO
1234 8 Supplier A NO
1234 9 Supplier A NO

I�ve been through the delivery from Supplier A and all of the products are there.
I perform a group query on the �Order ID�, �Supplier ID� and �Delivered� fields to return the following

[Order ID] [Supplier ID] [Delivered]
1234 Supplier A NO

I want to be able to tick the �Delivered� check box and it automatically check each �Delivered� box for the 9 products mentioned above.

Does anyone know if this is possible? I�ve spent ages going through the properties of the query, changing the Recordset Types and trying to use forms, and going through help files but I can�t find any options. I did come across the possibility of using an update query � however I don�t know how to perform a �Group By� total on the �Order ID�.

Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

Updateable Drop Downlists

Nov 10, 2005

I have a form that has normal text boxes for data input and a couple drop down boxes that look at another table for the selection choices. Everything is great. What I want to do is give the user a drop down list but also give them the ability to add to that look up table. Where if the choice is not in the drop down list they can type in a new value and it will update the Look up table so it will show up the next time.

Does anyone know how I would go about that?

Question About Updateable Table Layout

Jan 22, 2008

Hey all.. Been out of the Access loop for quite some time now.. Last project I did was in Acc97, about 5 years ago! Been working on SQL Server and web programming lately...

Anyway, I have a project that needs to be done in Access XP. It is a basic resource allocation DB. Listing of employees, projects, and time associated with those projects per Employee. I want to keep this normalized, and so I have this basic table layout..

tblEmployee -- Has EmployeeID, name, etc
tblProject -- Has ProjectID, name, etc
tblEmployeeProject -- Has EmployeeID, ProjectID, year, month, hours
tblWorkingHours -- Has an autoNumber ID, Year, Month, Working Hours, Holidays, business days

Basically, the tblWorkingHours has 12 entries per year, Jan-Dec.
The tblEmployeeProject is where I have the meat of my data.. If an employee(1) is assigned to a project(123) for 20 hours a month for 3 months(Jan-Mar 2008), then there will be 3 rows in there.
EmployeeID - ProjectID - Year - Month - Hours
1 - 123 - 2008 - 1 - 20
1 - 123 - 2008 - 2 - 20
1 - 123 - 2008 - 3 - 20

This seems to make sense to me, and seems to be normalized. However, I cannot seem to create an updatable query on this layout... I would like to pick a project, and then a few employees assigned to that project, and then enter in the hours for each employee, for any of the 12 months I need. The problem I'm having is that I cannot seem to get an updatable query out of this layout. The only way for me to get a listing of all employees attached to a project, and then all months for the year, regardless of an entry in tblEmployeeProject, is to use a Cartesian Product type join on tblEmployee and tblWorkingHours. And then do an outside join on tblEmployeeProject. However this is obviously not updatable.

The only other option I can think of, is to prefill the tblWorkingHours table with 12 entries per year, however this seems to add unnecessary data in the database. At that point, I might as well create a table that has 12 columns, one for each month.

Sorry for the long-winded post, but wanted to try to get all my points across. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks all.

Creating Updateable Datasheet Based On Mult. Queries

Feb 12, 2006

Hello all,

I have a scheduling database that I am only using one table "DateLog"

It contains these fields:
JobIDInt-PK
LotIDTxt-PK
TaskIDInt-PK - List from TaskList Table
TripIDInt-PK
TaskDateDate
ForemanIDInt - List from Foreman Table
TaskQtyInt
TaskMisc1Txt
TaskMisc2Txt
NotesMemo

Every time a trip is taken to a job site, a record is created. I would like to have a datasheet view of this table that will join all of the tasks for a particular JobID and LotID together on the same record for easy viewing.
The list of tasks are static and will not change from job to job. The only fields that needs to be seen are the JobID and LotID at the row header. The rest of the data is the TaskDate for each task.

What I have attempted so far is to create a separate query for each TaskID and then to join them by the JobID and LotID. I have gotten to the point that I can put values into the datasheet, but I get an error that the primary key cannot be null.

Am I approaching this the correct way? Is there a way I can point the hidden key fields to the fields they are joined to? Access does not seem to be smart enough to figure this out itsself and I am not sure how to tell it to create the new record using the fields that it is related to.

This is very difficult to explain, any help would be greatly appreciated. I will be glad to post further clarification if I did a bad job explaining what I am trying to do.

Thanks,
Rob

"Recordset Is Not Updateable" Error Message

Feb 24, 2005

I have a form (frmAssign) based on a query which when opened directly from the database window allows me to update any of the fields.

BUT when I open the same form from a coded button on a different form (frmLastAssignment), my efforts to update any of the fields are thwarted and "Recordset is not updateable" appears in the status bar.

Process That Will Let Me Update
Open frmAssign directly from database window.

Process That Won't Let Me Update
Open frmLastAssignment, click on "Continue" button to open frmAssign.

Any suggestions of what is happening and how to fix it would be greatly appreciated!

Query In Forms Question (printing A Single Selected Query Record From A Form?)

Oct 19, 2004

What is the best way to impliment a query in a form so that the user can view the query records, and have the option to print or save the selected record using command buttons?

I tried subforms but I could not get the command buttons to work in the subform after it went into the form, it wanted to print the entire form instead of the selected record from the subform.

So in a nutshell I have 3-4 queries that are built, and I want to have them show up on my form in a format that the user can scroll through the results and select a single record of the results and then print or save that individual record from the form, if such a thing is possible.

Thanks in advance

If I run a query to show customers (in the customer table) with account numbers, that works

An unmatched query to show customer without an account number works (but of course the unmatched account number field isn't shown).

How can I get the two two be shown together with the "unmatched" having a null or 0 for their account number?

I am guessing in principle, the resulting solution can be modified to show customers without sales alongside those with sales?

Queries :: Opening Design View Of Append Query Without Timing Out Source Query

Mar 4, 2015

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?

UNION Query MS Jet Database Engine Cannot Find The Input Table Or Query.

Oct 28, 2005

Hello All,

I'm trying to run a UNION query that joins five queries through a MS WorkSpace into a DAO.recordset in VB. I'm pulling the data from a SQL Server Database through VB in Access. I'm attempting to open a recordset with a query passed to it as a string. The query is below. For some reason, I'm receiving a message: "MS Jet database engine cannot find the input table or query. Runtime Error 3078".

Here's what's puzzling. When I run a single query without any UNION statement, the code finds the table and runs fine without error, but anytime I join two or more queries with a UNION statement in the VB, it gives me the error.

I've executed the same UNION query in both Access Query Builder and SQL Server's Query Analyzer and they work fine in both environments. It's only when I call the query from a DAO.Recodset with VB that it causes this problem. The following is a sample of the UNION query joining two of the five queries. Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem? The following query executes in about 5 seconds so I don't think there's a "time-out" issue. I'm thinking that the UNION statement may be the culprit. Maybe there's another way to approach joining these separate queries? Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks.
