Question On MS Kb Article - Updating And Appending Records With One Update Query.
Dec 17, 2006
Hi,
I am trying to implement an update query per the instructions at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;127977 to append records from table2 to table1.
I would like to add a criteria here saying update (and append) only records that match the criteria table2.dateofreview <= #12/17/2006#
This does not seem to work. The same query works without this criteria.
To test this, I created just one record in table2 (table1 is blank at this time) and manually entered the dateofreview as 12/17/2006 and tried to execute the query. It is not able to show any records.
I created an update query that says it has successfully updated 600 records, but when you go into the table, it has not been updated. I am working with an .mde. Does that make a difference?
I first created a select query to find everyone in TX. Then I changed it to an update query to change all TX to CA. Since it did not update the table, I tried running the update query again and this time it says there are not records to update (since it uppposedly updated my 600 records).
I'm making a database for tracking purchase orders for contract workers in my department. Business rules dictate that a PO is created for each unique Contractor-Project instance.
I pulled a report (.csv format) of weekly timesheets from the company's project management database system. Some of the fields include: EmpUserName, EmpID, ProjectID, ProjectName, WeekEndDate, Hours. I linked to the file in my database and ran a query on it without WeekEndDate so that I get the total hours each contractor has worked for each project they've billed to. I created a table called tblContractorProject and appended the records to it. I'm going to be pulling this report each week so I can see if any contractors start billing to any new projects so I can create a purchase order for it. Is there a way to write an append query that can recognize if the EmpID and ProjectID combination is new and doesn't already exist in the table?
I have one table, I want to update multiple fields in that Table with values.Currently I have on update query for each update.So for exampleRows: Commercial Quotes, Cover Notes, Personal QuotesWill have the values: Yes, No, Yes in them.I need to update those fields, if they say Yes to Commercial Quotes, Cover Notes or Personal Quotes depending on the field obviously. And blank them out if it says No.Currently I have 30+ different queries I have to click individually one after the other to update each row. I was wondering if theres a quicker way of doing this all in one hit.I have a tiny bit of SQL knowledge.So one of the queries I've figured out I've converted to SQL but again it only updates one instance...UPDATE Enabler_Data SET Enabler_Data.[Commercial Quotes] = "Commercial Quotes" WHERE (((Enabler_Data.[Commercial Quotes]) = "YES"));I tried whacking an OR replacing the ; and repeating that statment replacing Commercial Quotes with Cover Notes but it errored out on me.This is where I get completely stuck and my meagre knowledge fails me so any help would be useful.Thanks in advanceMatt
I have imported 8000 records into a table called competency.
the table does not have the emp id, but needs it. I have a table called employee information which has the emp id as the primary key. I want to create a simple update query to copy the emp id (autonumbered primary key) field from the Employees table to the (now blank) emp id field in the competency table.
I created a query in design view, added the two tables included the fields from Competency, Emp ID, Last Name, First Name and in the update field for Emp id I added this "copy[tbEmployeeInformation].[empid]" In the criteria field of last name I typed a name and ran the query, it gave me the correct amount of records to update, but when I ran it, it gives the type conversion failure error. I checked the fields and they are the same in both tables (type, length, indexing)
Hi please i have a problem withthis and i need some help, i received some great help so far thank you So much Markoc. and now i'm stucj here.

the first two pages work fine, but whenever i click on submit on the second page it take me to the third one which cannot be displayed. here is the code on the pages, please if you can help. ------------------------------------------------ on the first page i have " reviews listing " -------------------------------------------------
<% Dim oConn, sConnection Set oConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") sConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _ "Data Source=xx" & _ "Persist Security Info=False" oConn.Open(sConnection) set rsUsers = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") rsUsers.Open "select * from reviews" , oConn %>
<center><table >
<% Do while NOT rsUsers.EOF getrid = rsUsers("rid") getreview = rsUsers("review")
rsUsers.MoveNext Loop rsUsers.Close set rsUsers = Nothing %>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the second page is viewreview.asp AND ALSO I HAD A TEXT BOX FOR THE USERS TO LEAVE COMMENTS --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'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.
I have a 2 databases exactly the same I need to append the records from one of them to the other. The only tables that need appending are "Transactions" & "Details"...that's it.
Detail Tbl: DetailID (FK to TransID) DetailDate...
The problem is how do I combine them because TransactionID is an Autonum? If I append one Transaction table to the other one (without the autonum of course), a NEW autonum is assigned then I can't link the DetailID's when I append the detail tables together.
What to do? I only have 44 total transactions to worry about so it's mostly curiousity.
I have three tables, table 1 'ServerTest' contains 5 records which should not change, table 2 'Region' has 40+ records. using an append quary all records are combined into table 3 'Junction1'
my problem... the Region table will change over time and new records will be added. how do I append the new records only to the junction1 table?
this is my append quary; INSERT INTO Junction1 ( RegionID, TestID, TestNumber, TestDescription ) SELECT Region.RegionID, ServerTest.TestID, ServerTest.TestNumber, ServerTest.TestDescription FROM Region, ServerTest;
this is a query I'm running, which I think is quite simple....why does it not bring anything across?
INSERT INTO tblRunItems ( SiteId, RunId ) SELECT tblsites.siteId, forms.frmRuns.runID FROM tblSites INNER JOIN (tblRuns INNER JOIN tblRunItems ON tblRuns.runID=tblRunItems.RunId) ON tblSites.SiteId=tblRunItems.SiteId WHERE ((tblSites.CollectionDay)=forms.frmRuns.runDay) And ((tblSites.CollectionZone)=forms.frmRuns.runZone);
i'm new with access and was wondering if i can get some help with an append query?
I'm getting an error message that state the following below:
*Microsoft Access can't append all the records in the append query. Microsoft Access set 36 field(s) to Null due to a type conversion failure, and it didn't add 0 records to the table due to key violations, 0 records due to lock violations, and 0 records due to validation rule violations.
This is my append query below:
INSERT INTO CustExportHoldCiti ( Custodian, CustAcct, Ticker, Cusip, CurrCode, SecurityName, Shares, CustCost, CustValue, POI, OriginalDiscount, HoldingType, Loc, Expr1 ) SELECT DISTINCT [CitiBank Current Holdings].Custodian, [CitiBank Current Holdings].[Account Number], SecSymbolsAll.SecSymbol AS Ticker1, [CitiBank Current Holdings].CUSIP1, [CitiBank Current Holdings].Curr, [CitiBank Current Holdings].[Security Description], [CitiBank Current Holdings].Shares, [CitiBank Current Holdings].CustCost, [CitiBank Current Holdings].CustValue, [CitiBank Current Holdings].POI, [CitiBank Current Holdings].OriginalDiscount, [CitiBank Current Holdings].HoldingType, dbo_Locations.Location, [date] AS Expr1 FROM [CitiBank Current Holdings] LEFT JOIN (SecSymbolsAll LEFT JOIN dbo_Locations ON SecSymbolsAll.LocationID = dbo_Locations.LocationID) ON [CitiBank Current Holdings].Ticker = SecSymbolsAll.SecSymbol WHERE (((SecSymbolsAll.SecSymbol) Is Not Null));
I can't figure out what is wrong with it. Thank you for the help.
I have a query that will pull records, and append them to the table. The only problem is that not only will it pull all the "new" records, but also all the "old" records. I just want to append the records that are not already in the table. Any ideas? I have tried using the primary key, but then it dosnt import any records. There will be say 1850 records. And out of the 1850, 1 would be a new record.
I'm not sure if this is the right discussion to ask this, but it seems the closest to my question, so I apologize if i'm mis-posting.
I'm doing a "run-time" insert into a table, from the VB Script. A button pops up an InputBox, and the returned string is added into the table, via a SQL command. However, upon execution of the SQL command:
st=InputBox("New Entry") call DoCmd.RunSql("insert into table1 (field1) values ('" & st & "');")
I get a warning dialog pop-up from access, informing me that it's about to append 1 row(s) into the table. Is there anyway to deactivate that dialog warning box so it doesn't pop up every time i use an insert into statement?
can someone please help me with this problem. currently im working on a student management system with MS ACCESS. Im stuck on the create_assessment_form that allows you to query previous assessment results or to create a new assessment. It has a subform that shows the assessment results of all the students relating to a selected assessment_ID.
The query of the results are working properly, But I need everyone's help for the creating new assessment part.....
When I create a new assessment, I have to choose a course_ID the assessment is relating to. >>>Question<<< How do I make it so that it will generate a list of assessment_results record for each of the student relating to the new assessment?
maybe my explaination is a bit messy. Please let me know if you do not understand my question. But I really need an answer to this question urgently!!!
I have a database where we regulary import excel data to generated from a form sent to our clients. The excel data that we import normally holds around 10 to 40 records at a time.
The current process I use to do this is to run a macro that creates a new table (tblImportForm), and then run an append query to append those records to our existing main table (tblJobDetails). I should also mention that the macro first deletes the existing tblImportForm before creating a new one with the same name with the new data.I have used this method rather than appending the data straight into the existing tblJobDetails as I found I came into more problems with generating IDs etc.
What I want to do is have a report come up after the data has been imported/appended, that lists the new data imported with the new record IDs generated in the main table tblJobDetails. It would be easy to do this is if I only needed the data or could use the IDs in the first table I import to, but the idea of the report is to give the user the new IDs (PrimeKeys) from the second table that the data is appended to.I could maybe do a count of records in tblImportForm and then produce a report using a query from tblJobDetails that pulls that number (the count) of data from the last record backwards? But I don't know exactly how to do this.
Can anyone help me with this - I have an append query to a statement table for invoices with a macro set. When the query is run the data is added to the statement query.
what is happening is that it is adding the data ok on a seaparate line but is also updating any previous invoices for the same client to the new invoice number obviously not what I want.
The goal I am trying to accomplish using VBA within Access 2010 is to append/add certain records to another database (Customer Service) from my database (Client Request). I tried using a macro to append then update records in my database but there is a "lag" time as to when the information is updated in the 'Customer Service' database causing my updates not to occur.
I have got a query that updates details from one table2 to table1, "Reference" is the primary key and this is what the query uses to determine which need updating.
It all works great but if table2 contains a record in "Reference" that is not in table1 i just want it to ignore it, currently it just seeems to add them.
I have a stock-type record and a stock-item record. I want to update a flag on the stock-type record called instock to be true if there are related stock-item records and false if there are no related records. Does anyone know how to run a updating query that will do this? I am fairly new to this so I'm sorry if this is a bit of a basic question. Thank you for your help in advance.
I have a single table database for inventory. Every 3 months or so, some records get changed or updated. My manager wants to keep an archive of all of the records that have been changed so we can go back and look at an history of all of the records. So, My thought is to create an "Archive" table, appended all of the current records to it. Then, when changes are made, create an Append Query, or what ever works, to copy just the changed records from the Main to the Archive table. There are only 200 items in the inventory so it is not a large database.
I have a list box whose data is inserted in a table named as "test0" ,now in a macro of vba i want to select all the items in the list box and create there pdf files in a folder at my desired location. So far i have managed to create a pdf file of single item ,but i want to select multiple items at once ,
Code: SELECT test0.ID, test0.item FROM test0 WHERE (((test0.item)=[ItemNumber]));
So, in this query itemNumber are multiple and i want to create there pdf files at once ..just on a click of one button ?
ok im having some serious problems here. im using a tutorial to make a database for my small business and everything was going great, except this 1 problem ive been having for like 2 weeks now. i had my 2 main tables linked together using another table which is my foriegn field i think? anyway i used a query to make this table and to add the data from my other 2 tables to it. now i want to add the data from my suppliers table to it aswell but i dont know how. my original query wasnt saved cause the tutorial told me i didnt need to save. i think what i need to do is append this data to query like i did when i first made it but if the query isnt there anymore how can i append it? does this mean i have to start my database from scratch and do all 3 tables at once? or can i make a new query? ive tried making a new query to add this data to the linking table but no go. im horrible at explaining this so hopefully some pictures will help.
heres my relationships. what i want to do is make my tblSuppliers link to my tblItems. i think i need to link it to tblCategoryItems and do the query thing to add the data to it. is this correct? or is there another way i can do it?
in this pic you can see how the first 2 fields were populated for me by the query but now i added an extra field which i want populated with the supplier ID. i tried to manually add the number of the supplier here but it didnt work either. i think i need another primary key for it to work but i cant add another primary key to this table cause access complains.
Can you append to a table that is empty? If you can please let me know. I made table through "make table" query and now I run the append query to the empty table but it is not putting any information in the empty table
