Mar 17, 2008This should be easy, but I have spent hours on it and can't find the answer. Can anyone see why the query 1qryMaintAssets does not allow a change to or an addition to the data??

Different Data Type In An Update Query

Query Data To Update Table
Aug 10, 2006I would like to run a query and then be able to edit that information. I want the data I change to be put into the table the info was gathered from. Right now when I edit the query data it only saves it there, not on the other table. I tried to do the copy to table but the original table was going to be erased and then written over. What should I do? thanks

Query To Update Data To Foreign Key Field?
Jul 1, 2007I've sent a post about this before and got some of the answer from 'Dennisk'- thanks.
I want to replace composite keys with a primary. I've just made an autonumber field on one table for my new primary key and already populated it. On the foreign table ive made a new field with 'number' datatype; this field is empty at the moment.
I'm not sure how to update the foriegn tables new field with the primary tables data. I've saw it before and remember it being easy, just can't remember how to do it.
I obviously want the numbers in the primary key field to relate to the correct records in the foriegn table.
Anyone know what the query is or if there's another way?
Thanks:confused:
Update Query-multiple Fields,1 With Data, 1 Without
Apr 10, 2008Access2007- Building a query to handle future input...
I run an update query that does what it is supposed to do and gives the proper values.
THEN I add a one more field to the source with the builder using + that has no data in it yet, the query fails and gives blanks, even though one of the fields in the source has data in it.
I would think that the "no data" field would be considered 0.00 value and be added together to the field that has values giving at least the value of the field with values as a result of the query.
Is there a setting somewhere that I need to change so that the no value and the value would be combined? I am using the builder to combine the values in the query.
Thanks.

Jul 24, 2014I have been spending all my today to fill a combobox dynamically, but have not been able yet.
I have a combobox and a pass-through query in access, which is working fine and fill the details into the combobox via data source. Now what I am planning to do is to update the combobox source as soon as value in a text box changes.
Here is the code I am using, but it is not working:
Dim rs As Recordset
Dim qDef As QueryDef
Set qDef = CurrentDb.QueryDefs("get_data")
qDef.SQL = "SELECT Initial + ' (' + Name + ')' uws FROM EM.dbo.UW" _
& " WHERE lob = '" & addSingleQuotation(Me.CMB_LOB.Value) & "'"

Update/Change Existing Data To New Table With Query?
Feb 17, 2008i'm a Access novice. I have tables with existing data in numerical form, and would like to know how I can use Queries or VBA code to update these values into a new format in a new table. for example the original data might be of race type:
1 - caucasian
2 - african american
3 - hispanic 1
4 - hispanic 2
5 - hispanic 3
6 - other
and i want to regroup these into less types, eg:
1 - caucasian
2 - african american
3 - hispanic
4 - other
how can i achieve this in Access? i know how i can do this conceptually with "if" and "case" statements, but I have no idea how i can do this in Access. I don't want to mess with the original data, so please help with CODE or QUERY examples.
thanks!!
How Do I Update Data Related To A Read-only Query On A Form?
May 22, 2006Hi all, I'm so tired of looking... please help me!!
I have an Access Data Access Page based on a query which is not updatable.
The query is based on a many-to-many table (e.g. OfficeProducts with foreign keys for OfficeID and ProductID and an Amount field). The query is not updatable as I have included outer joins to the Office and Product tables to get all their records back.
(I'm not sure if I've done this the best way, but need to be able to list all the possible Products for each Office whether they use them or not.)
I want the user to be able to update the Amount field, so e.g. if it is currently set to 50 to be able to change it to 40, or if it is currently null (as there is no record so far for that OfficeProduct) then to insert a record into OfficeProducts with the OfficeID, ProductID and Amount value entered.
I thought this would be straightforward by creating a new textbox in the same section as the current Amount field, calling it NewAmount and letting the user update this, fire an event trigger to either update or insert into the table, and refresh the query and record on the form/DAP so that Amount shows the newly updated/inserted value.
I have been searching for ages... cannot locate either the best event or events to use for this nor the code to enter!! Please please help!!!!!
(This is actually for a charity helping people suffering from emergencies in developing countries, not OfficeProducts, so your spot in heaven will be reserved if you can help ;) Thanks)

Queries :: Append Multiple Data With Update Query?
Aug 6, 2013In 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.
Queries :: Update Query To Replace All Data In Field
Apr 8, 2013Is it possible for an update query to simply replace all the data in a table's field with the results from a query?
For example, I have Table A with the field Years. This table performs various calculations within based on the field Years.
I would like an update query that simply replaces the Years field data in Table A with a new set of years based on a query's search criteria.
When I run the below query, I get an error saying the query must be updateable- but Im not trying to update the query, rather the Table

Queries :: Update Query To Add Data To Table NOT Overwrite
Apr 23, 2015I have a table that is updated from an update query which gets its data from a table, which gets its data from a form. I have set the query to only update the current record, this is done by a macro when the user exits the input box. The problem arises when a user goes to visit past record, I would like it to not overwrite the old data with the new data. If the query was only allowed to ADD data and not overwrite then this would fix the problem!
My SQL code is as follows:
UPDATE [Run Info], [Sieve Weights] SET [Run Info].[315 Tare] = [Sieve Weights]![315 Tare], [Run Info].[250 Tare] = [Sieve Weights]![250 Tare], [Run Info].[200 Tare] = [Sieve Weights]![200 Tare], [Run Info].[160 Tare] = [Sieve Weights]![160 Tare], [Run Info].[100 Tare] = [Sieve Weights]![100 Tare], [Run Info].[75 Tare] = [Sieve Weights]![75 Tare], [Run Info].[50 Tare] = [Sieve Weights]![50 Tare], [Run Info].[BD Tube Tare] = [Sieve Weights]![BD Tube]
WHERE ((([Forms]![1L Input form]![ID No])=[Run Info]![ID No]));
Update Tables With Missing Data Without Using Unmatched Query?
Aug 13, 2013I have an access database with several linked tables (linked to MySQL database) and several local tables. The theory is that if there's ever a connection issue, the device connected to the computer will continue logging data to the local tables. Once a connection is re-established, the linked tables should be updated with all the missing records which appear on the local tables.
I found several possibilities which I outlined below, but I've been asked to investigate whether there's a built in function in access that does this for you and use the other options as a last resort. Does access have any program feature that updates one table with missing data from another table, or will I have to write VBA code to do that? Options I've discovered:
1) Write unmatched query and insert missing data into table.
2) Create a linked table on MySQL that will link to the local tables on access, then compare the records there.The boss isn't happy with those options because he wants to keep the amount of code we add to a minimum. Ultimately, we hope that a program feature that does this is built in to access. If not, I have no problem adding code to do this instead.
Queries :: Update Or Delete Query To Remove Data From Table

View 1 Replies View RelatedUpdate Query Is Updating Multiple Fields With Duplicate Data
Nov 1, 2012I'm running an update query that's based on a select query (that runs some calculations). The update query is updating ALL the rows that should be updated with the information in the select query with data from the final row in the select query, and not on a per ID basis as I think I have it set-up to do. The data looks correct in the update query, but again it's not coming out right.
Here's the SQL for what I've written so far:
UPDATE [Customer_Data Query], Customer_Data INNER JOIN Baseline ON Customer_Data.ID = Baseline.ID SET Baseline.[Unit Hours] = [Customer_Data]![Dur_Days]*[Customer_Data]![Dur_Hours]*[Customer_Data]![Number_Units], Baseline.Availability = [Customer_Data]![Perceived_Avail], Baseline.[Hours Available] = [Customer_Data]![Dur_Days]*[Customer_Data]![Dur_Hours]*[Customer_Data]![Number_Units]*[Customer_Data]![Perceived_Avail],
[Code] ....
I've also tried to force the update to the proper row by adding a criteria based on ID.
Select query, here it is:
SELECT Customer_Data.ID, Customer_Data.Data_Set_Version, Customer_Data.Number_Units, Customer_Data.Perceived_Avail, Customer_Data.MTTR_MTBF, Customer_Data.MT_TR_OR_BF_Hours, Customer_Data.Utilization, Customer_Data.Percent_Scheduled, Customer_Data.Sched_Percent_of_PM, Customer_Data.Sched_PM_Duration, Customer_Data.Sched_CBM_Duration, Customer_Data.Sched_CBM_From_PM, Customer_Data.React_Detect, Customer_Data.React_Rework, Customer_Data.React_False_Alarms,

The field [assycode] contains a string similar to say, FGEJBF1 or ABFGYRUKC I want to remove any occurrence of "F1" normally at the end of the string but not always at the end. I used: Like "*f1*" to find the correct records, that worked fine, I then used [Assycode]-" f1" in the update to box, It wants to update 146 records I click ok then it says It couldn't due to a type conversion error. Just messing around I tried adding "F1" to these records using [Assycode]+" f1" and it worked fine. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Jul 13, 2005I have 2 tables:
"LookupDates" which has
ContractYear
YearStart
YearEnd
and "Staff" which has
Name
StartDate
The tables are not linked in anyway as the LookupDates table is used for referencing.
What I want to be able to do is add another column to the staff table that shows what contract year they started in.
I have tried DLookUp but I have read that you cant use update queries with DLookup in the way that I want to...
DLookup("[ContractYear]", "LookupDates", "[StartDate] Between [YearStart] And [YearEnd]
If I create a form and cycle through the records I can get the DLookup function to work via VBA but this isn't very practical
Can anyone help with this problem?
P.S. I didn't put this post in the queries forum as I think it falls under the General section.

How To Update Data
Apr 12, 2006I have an Access file with one data table and several linked (read only) tables from a mainframe database. I run an Append Query to import certain data from the linked tables into my data table. Periodically the data in certain fields in the linked tables will change. I want to refresh my local data to reflect this. So I tried to write an Update Query, but it keeps telling me that "The Operations is not an updatable query". I assume this is because the linked tables are read only even though I am trying to update from the linked tables to my local data table. So I am not trying to modify the read only tables.
Assuming I am correct, what is the best way to accomplish my need to update certain fields in my data table with the information on the linked tables?
Thanks for your help.
