Reading Appending To A Table, From A Manipulated Input
Apr 1, 2007
Hi,
I need to grab a record from an input table/record set and de-concatenate it based on the underscore and append each instance to an output table. I know this must be possilbe, we do simular things in GIS programming all the time. Below is my "logic"/psuedo code :)
'loop until end of file
strColumnA = tblNewRelationships.PLACE
strColumnBin = tblNewRelationships.NAMES
'loop until strColumnBout is ""
strColumnBout = Left(strColumnBin, Find("_", strColumnBin, 1) - 1)
strColumnBchop = Right(strColumnBin, Len(strColumnBin) - Len(strColumnBout) - 1)
strSQL = "" 'put strColumnA into tblRelationships_2.PLACE and strColumnBout into tblNewRelationships.NAME
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL
strColumnBin = strColumnBchop
'end field loop
'end row loop
Any help is seriously appreciated.
Thanks,
C

Calculating an average based on 12 fields. The fields are the months (Jan-Dec) I want the blood average of the year. Depending on the result an employee might only have to provide a sample 4 times a year or quarterly.
If their result is greater than 15 a monthly sample must be provided. The employees on the quarterly draws only will have 4 samples to average whereas a monthly draw can have 12 or fewer. I am not getting a correct answer using /12 as there are 0 in the fields and the right answer would be on samples >0
I am attaching a mini mdb ...

I am working on a database to keep track of meter readings from several meters. Am at the table design stage and have come up with two seperate table designs but am wondering what would be best.
Each individual 'Meter' tracks more than one 'Fuel'. All of the regular meter readings should occur on the last day of the the month. The difference between the current month's reading and the reading from the previous month is the usage for the current month.
Though rare, there are occasions when there could be adjustments to the meter. A meter may be reset to 0 or to any other number due to a number of issues (replacement, maintenance).
The usage for a Meter-Fuel combination calculated by the current meter reading & previuos meter reading is assigned to current readings' date, As readings should onlt be taken at the end of the month, all other readings should be adjustments ONLY!
Here is my one version;
tblMeter
MeterID (PK)
strMeterDesc
tblFuel
FuelID(PK)
strFuelDesc
tblMeterReadings
MeterReadingID (PK)
dtMeterReading
MeterID (FK)
FuelID (FK)
dblMeterReading
tblMeterReadings
MeterReadingID (PK)
dtMeterReading
MeterID (FK)
FuelID (FK)
dblMeterReading
tblMeterAdjustments
MeterAdjustmentID (PK)
dtMeterAdjustment
MeterID (FK)
FuelID (FK)
dblMeterReadingOLD
dblMeterReadingNEW
My other idea was to incorporate meter adjustments into tblMeterReadings and not have a sepereate table for meter adjustments
tblMeterReadings
MeterReadingID (PK)
dtMeterReading
MeterID (FK)
FuelID (FK)
dblMeterReading
blnAdjustment
The I would create a multi-field index of dbMeterReading, MeterID, FuelID, blnAdjustment.
So data with an adjustment may look like this
dtMeterReading, MeterID, FuelID, dblMeterReading, blnAdjustment
01/31/2005, 1, 1, 900, False
02/15/2005, 1, 1, 1000, False
02/15/2005, 1, 1, 0, True
02/31/2005, 1, 1, 100 , False
I think that the second version is the way to go, since I would still have to create a query to join data from both the reading and adjustment tables in the first design that would look like the data above.
Here what I consider to be the drawbacks to either table structure
Version 1
The first version requires more complicated queries to calculate the difference between meter readings.
Version 2
The second version will require some coding/querying to make sure that there are always two adjustment records for one date and determining which is the pre-adjustment and post-adjustment meter reading since it may not be true that the meter is reset to zero; it may even be set at number higher than the pre-adjectment reading.
Any thoughts on which design is better? Or any problems I could run into later with designing forms/queries/reports that perhaps I have not thought through?
THANKS!

I have two options on the main switchboard page and when I click on the second option it goes to a secondary page that gives me 3 options with the third option being to return to the main screen. When I select that option it does go back to the main screen but then on the main screen it shows the return to main screen option as well and when I select it.... it says " There was an error reading the switchboard items table." But I want the main screen to only show the original two options only.

I am trying to use a Connection to an xlsx spredsheet to read in a table of information (the data is not a table, just laid out in a table, see attached, the one I am trying to load is xlsx not xls but I cannot for some reson upload the xlsx one on here)
I have the following declared:
Code:
Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
my connection string is:
Code:
strConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" & cstrFolder &
Chr(92) & tempSymbol & ".xlsx;Extended Properties='Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=YES';"
I open the connection which works fine:
Code : cn.Open strConnectionString
Now here I hit the problem, I have the following SQL string:
Code : strSelect = "SELECT * from [table$]"
The spreadsheet contains just 1 tab, named table so I think I am referring to the data correctly in my SQL string?
When I open the recordet for variable rs using:
Code : rs.Open strSelect, cn, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic, adCmdText
I get the error dialogue box:
The Microsoft Access database engine could not find the object 'table$'. make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.....
I did a Debug.print to check the strConnectionString was correct and the Source is exactly correct and refers to the name of the file I am trying to access exactly.

I am developing a database for incoming inspection. I have set up two tables, one with spec callouts per product and the other table contains fields where I want the specs from the tblSpec table to be Append into the tblMeasurement table. Now, within the tblMeasurement table (where I am trying to append specs from the tblSpecs table into), I also have additional fields for actual measurements from received goods.
My plan is as I go through and select the Vendor, it populates the associated products to that vendor (no problem there). When I want to select the product, I would like the specs from the tblSpecs to dumped into the tblmeasurement table that correlates to that product on the form.
How can I have this automatically append after selecting the product? I am not sure if I have my relationships set up correctly or not, but I cannot see to append when I am trying to execute this function while in Query view.
I have the db attached in a zipped format.

I have to import a file from an external website into a table (tableA) that I have established. The issue is that I don't need all that data, just specific ones (the website does not allow me to select the specific data to export). I created another table (tableB) to capture the data that I require for my report.
How do I take raw data from tableA to append to tableB the required fields that I want?

I have a table full of meter readings. I want to have a field called consumption which looks at the reading just entered for that month and then subtracts the previous months reading for that meter which leaves the consumption.
Can I get a formula that can work this out automatically?

Hi
I am trying to write an update query which will return a value within a new table, based on a date in my import table.
The date format is dd/mm/yyyy and I want to return the month in another column (ie 01 to 12).
To complicate matters, I want to return a value based on some additional logic. My invoice statements run on a cycle of 17th of the month to the 16th of the next month.
So if a date value in a line item of text in table 1 says 17/11/2007 to 16/12/2007, I want the value returned in my new column to be 11. If the date range is from 17/12/2007 to 16/01/2007 then I want the value returned as 12.
My American colleague wrote the following expression, but due to the different way we write dates in Europe, can't quite get this to work.
Expr1: IIf(Day([call date])<17,Month([call date])-1,Month([call date]))
I'd be grateful for any thoughts.
best regards
Mulhouse.

I have rather complex select statement (at least for me) that produces a summary of how a team scored in a league competition that week. I would not even worry about this issue, except that people float around as alternates and I deduced it would be easier to compute and store scores for a team the week they shot with a given group of people versus keeping track of who shot on what team over a 10 week period.
The selection takes 40 individual scoring records and consolidates them into 10 team summary records. I have verified that the query works, but implementing it has turned into a problem.
Problem one: my knowledge of recordsets is almost purely theoretical at this point, having never worked with them. Therefore commands and structures are a problem - mainly, I'm not sure what code is needed to post a recordset to a table
Problem two: the select statement that works as an Access query is bombing in VB
My code to date:
Dim RS As Recordset
Dim DB As Database
Dim strSQL As String
Dim inpWeekNum As Integer
inpWeekNum = 0
'InputBox "Enter Week Number" 'eventually request week number from user. an integer from 0-9
'strSQL = "SELECT tblRoster.* FROM tblRoster WHERE (NIGHT = 'Fri');" 'a test str. this worked.
strSQL = "SELECT tblRoster.TEAM, tblScores.WeekNo, " & _
"Sum([A1T1]+[A1T2]+[A1T3]+[A2T1]+[A2T2]+[A2T3]+[A3T1]+[A3T2]+[A3T3]) AS TeamTotal," & _
"Sum([A1T2X]+[A1T3X]+[A2T2X]+[A2T3X]+[A3T2X]+[A3T3X]) AS TeamXs" & _
"FROM tblRoster LEFT JOIN tblScores ON tblRoster.HEDR = tblScores.HEDR" & _
"GROUP BY tblRoster.TEAM, tblScores.WeekNo HAVING (((tblScores.WeekNo)=0))" 'hardwired week number
' "GROUP BY tblRoster.TEAM, tblScores.WeekNo HAVING (((tblScores.WeekNo)=inpWeekNum))" 'user prompted week number
Set DB = CurrentDb()
Set RS = DB.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
Do While Not RS.EOF
'Appending Code here... 'obviously missing code, but I know that it does cycle through as I would expect it to.
RS.MoveNext
Loop
'This was a previous test based on a canned qry I had saved (that resembles the above qry.
' this successfully posted, but only one record
'DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO [tblTeamScores](TeamNo, WeekNo, TeamTotal, TeamXs) " &_
' "VALUES (" & TEAM & ", " & WeekNo & ", " & TeamTotal & ", " & TeamXs & ")"
The select statement correctly produces this output in Access (for Week 0):
TEAM WeekNo TeamTotal TeamXs (how does one properly post a table in this interface?)
1 0 2397 182 0 3152 333 0 3292 664 0 2014 135 0 2836 186 0 3652 577 0 2024 198 0 1108 29 0 2630 2210 0 1977 11
Anyone out there have some suggestions? Am I even on the right track?
Thanks.
-Brian.

i have a table with tons of records in it. There is a field called "date to return by" that previously had a default value of Date+30. Now, some things changed in our company, and under certain conditions, the "date to return by" for new records will be Date+14, or Date+30. At first, i tried making this relationship in a table as a default value, but, you cannot make a relationship like this in a table.
So, i made a query to evaluate the relationship.
what i want to do, is have a query that will have all the same fields the table had and evaluate whether a records' "date to return by" should be Date+30 or Date +14, and then put that new record back in the table.. but, this will only be for new records, as i will be keeping all the old records in the table as they are.
how can i do this?
all of my reports read off of my table so i want to keep the table. can i make a query that will put new records into a table one at a time as i make them?

I currently have an unnormalized table that consists of individuals (employee profiles) which currently has a field for attachments. I am using the "attachments" for photographs of each employee however I dont want to maintain photographs for former employees, or if I do not forever. I was told to normalize the table by removing the "attachment" field and placing it in a new table with referene to the employeeID.
Since I currently have something like 200+ records where I want to relocate the employee picture, i tried to create a make table query off the origional table and only referencing the employeeid and "attachment" to the new table however I keep getting an error when running the query. The error indicates something to the affect of having multiple values.

Hi,
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!!!
Thanks in advance...

I want to import an Excel spreadsheet into a table in my Access DB.
I am using following: DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acImport, 0, "tblSchedule", "C:mailinimport.xls", false
This code works but it is appending to the table.
What is the best way to update the table - or would it be best to delete the old table and then to create a new one to import tha data into?
If the latter would be most elegant solution, can anyone help with some code that would do this ?
Thanks

I have a linked ODBC table in my database that contains data like this -
Code:
Task Serial CrewAmount
00_INSTALL ENGINE INTO PEDESTAL STAND 707308AS30.2
00_INSTALL ENGINE INTO PEDESTAL STAND 707308OMB0.2
01_BORESCOPE INSPECTION 706496AS114.24
01_BORESCOPE INSPECTION 706496AS223.24
[Code] .....
What I would like to do is remove the duplicate values for the Task field, but show how much time each Crew has spent on each Task per Serial. The end result would look like this -
Code:
Task SerialAS1AS2AS3OMAOMB
01_BORESCOPE INSPECTION 70649614.2423.2428.78
00_INSTALL ENGINE INTO PEDESTAL STAND 7073080.20.2
01_INSTALL OIL TANK 7073085.67
[Code] ....
What is the best way to achieve this result? I've played around with Append queries, union queries etc, but nothing seems to give me the result I'm after.

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 a table in MS Access 2010 that is a link to an external data file in .csv format. I assumed that it was not possible to append data to a linked table until recently. I appended 3 records to the linked table and discovered that the 3 records were appended to the table and the external data file it was linked to.
What am I missing ?

I'm having trouble appending an excel sheet into my access table.
I have 8 columns in my excel sheet:
1- full_name (short text)
2- alias (short text)
3- email_address (short text)
4- user_ID (short text)
5- Location (which is annotated using numbers 1,2,3,4 etc.) (number)
6- active (yes/no)
7- TRI (yes/no)
8- Another user ID (Short text form)
I am trying to append this data to an existing table in excel with the EXACT same column names.
I can append each column from my excel sheet separately and they will appear on the access table, but once I try to append all of the columns at the same time, so the records are not placed in different rows, I get a message saying "Script out of Range"
I cannot seem to figure it out since they can be uploaded individually.
Just to clarify, the excel columns are formatted to the access columns.

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 local table that I am trying to append to a linked table. The fields are exactly the same. When I try to append the entire local table to the linked table I get an error code.
ODBC- insert on a link table failed.
[ctreeSQL]-17002 CT- Key value already exists in index (linked table field) (#-17002)
If I specify the criteria in the field to refer to a specific value in the local table, it updates it just fine. I want an append query because I don't want to manually update 500+ records!! I don't believe an update query would work because the values are not in the current linked table... so nothing to update!
