Running More Than One Sql Update Query
Aug 26, 2005
I am helping a company reorganize its employee data to reflect recent changes in the company's organization. It involves a lot of data manipulation that, for the most part, can't be done programatically.
I can save a little time using SQL update queries like this:
update personnel set Department = "Support Staff" where Jobtitle="Shipper"
update personnel set Department = "Maintenance" where Jobtitle="Mechanic"
update personnel set Department = "Regional" where Jobtitle="HR Manager"
I have prepared a text file containing 530 such queries that can be pasted into Access. But as much time as that saves me, it is still a day or two of cutting and pasting.
What would be the best way to talk Access into running all the queries, without having to paste in every one individually?
Thanks...

Hi all
I want to view vehicles due for servicing in the next week. The queries giving me this information work fine. I have a form that I can select, from a drop down box, either 1,2,3 or 4. A report is then run and emailled to the appropriate people. After testing to see what was the easiest way to remember what the last week was (I tried setting the combo box to remember the value but it did not, unsure why, I also tried recording Mondays date in a field in a table and assigning each Monday a value 1-4 then running a query...long story short, to time consuming) I have used a table with one field to hold the value and after emailling the report, an update query adds one to this field and it is displayed above the combo box in a txt box. I want to reset the value to 0 if the value equals 4 before the update query runs. Is this the best way to do it or can someone suggest another way of doing this.
Thanks in advance

What would be a better way to do below query --
UPDATE (tblAFFIRMATION_REC_TOOL LEFT JOIN tbl_TZero_Spns ON tblAFFIRMATION_REC_TOOL.CptySPN = tbl_TZero_Spns.SPN) INNER JOIN Entity ON tblAFFIRMATION_REC_TOOL.ReferenceEntity = Entity.ReferenceEntity
SET tblAFFIRMATION_REC_TOOL.[Scope Reason] = IIf(IsNull(tbl_TZero_Spns!SPN) Or (Entity!Test='EM'),tblAFFIRMATION_REC_TOOL![Scope Reason],'TZero Trade')
WHERE ((([tblAFFIRMATION_REC_TOOL]![Scope Reason])="Affirmation Eligible"));
the way it right now, it's running for about half hour..
Could that be IIF statement that slows it down ?

Hi
I am a relatively new user to access and wondered if you could help me with a stock control problem.
I have created an update query (qryUpdateQuantityinStock) with the below fields:
QuantityinStock
tblProduct
Update: [QuantityinStock]-Forms!frmCustomerOrder![frmProductOrderLine Subform].Form!Quantity
ProductNumber
tblPrdocut
Criteria: [Forms]![frmCustomerOrder]![frmProductOrderLine Subform].[Form]![ProductNumber]
When the user enters the quantity they require into the orders form I would like to deduct it from the quantityinstock field in the products table.
The above query does work if you add the following code to the beforeupdate event of the orders subform:
If Me.NewRecord Then
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.openquery "qryupdateQuantityinStock"
DoCmd. Setwarnings True
End If
Although I wanted the query to run from a button (confirm order) on the order form so that the user decides when to deduct the stock.
I cannot put a button onto the orders subfrom where the query should run from and if I place the code on a button on the main orders form it only deducts one order (one product) and not all products on the order.
Can you help me find a way to run the query from a button?
I have read through the threads and found lots of information on stock control, although have not yet found anything similar to this problem. I understand that this is not the correct way to do stock control, although my database is for academic purposes and only requires a simple stock control system.
Any help would be greatly appreciated (sorry for the long post!). :)
Many thanks

I have 3 different "buttons" on my form that run individual update queries. I know these update queries are running correctly. Decided to make a macro that will allow me to run all these queries by clicking one macro button.
My question is: Is there some way to stop the pop up msg that advises I am about to run an update query and the next pop up msg that informs me of how many rows I am going to update?
These pop up boxes are starting to drive me crazy when I run the macro.

i want to be able to create an On Click Event when pushing a command button that will run an Update query to update a record and after it has been updated that specific record will pop up on a Form and be displayed. i know a different way is to run the Update query and then have it displayed in a Select query but i want it to be displayed on a Form instead. is it possible?

I need to update a ytd-budget field using the curmo-budget field. The table contains one record for each month. The ytd-budget for Jan would be the same as curmo-bud for Jan. Feb's ytd would be the sum of Jan + Feb...etc. Is there a way to update the ytd fields with a 'running sum' feature as found in the report options?
(... unfamiliar with VB). Thanks

I need to create a message box or a form or something to flash on the screen to tell the user that a piece of "Update" code is running. the update code will be updated reports from marketing returns, but the 3 branches who use the information are separate so I am creating an update form to download and update the table.
The code for the update is already working, but can take a while, so I thought a message or splash screen would be useful as the update runs on start up.
It would have another use, I have a report which is made mainly of calculated fields on an onPrint event and also takes a while to work it out, so a similar screen would be more useful than my current spinning circle and blank screen.

Can anyone tell me how to get a running balance on a report. I know how to create a running total, by setting the "running sum" property of a text box to "Over all".
I can't however see how I can adapt this to give a running balance (as in a bank statement for example). Attempts to do so end up in failure!!
Many thanks in advance.

Hi!
Sorry I am to bother you. But I was wondering whether it is possible to create a running sum in a query (from each previous record just a simple add up)?
I know how to do in report (it is described in the help function) but for a query I cannot find anything.
Thx and rgds,
Lobhaan

have a table, Loans.
Fields:
ID (key)
Loan Number
Principal Balance.
I have another table, Transaction, that's based off the Loan Number field on the loans table.
Fields:
LoanNumber
Payment Type (2 choices, payment and advance)
Amount
I have a user form where users can specify the payment type, and amount, based on a certain loan number.
I'm attempting to do this:
User enters a transaction into the database. once the transaction is entered, the Principal Balance field for the specified loan number is updated.
If the payment type is advance, the query will subtract the amount from principalbalnce. if payment, the query wll add the amount to the principal balance.
Here's what I have so far.
The userform updates the transactions table with the information correctly.
My next step is to update the principal balance.
I'm thinking I could use some sort of update query, but I don't know where to begin.
HELP!!
If there is a better (normalized) way to accomplish this, I'm definitely open to ideas. Please just provide a basic example so I can understand. :o :cool:

Well Shut down my computer and call me a newbie.
I'm trying to run an append query with two parameters and a like "value*" in the where clause. When I run it in ADO it returns no values.
When I run it in DAO is works just fine.
WHen I delete the like condition it works just fine.
When I change the like condition to and abolute condition, e.g. "Cancel" it works just fine.
BUT WHEN I PUT Like "Can*" back it is returns no records.
Now I've been working with Access for more years than I will admit, but I have never seen anything like this.
I assume Like is valid SQL
SO SOMEONE PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY. Am I barking up the wrong dog, or is "Like 'XXX*" not usable when executing queries in ADO.
SAVE ME !!!!! SAVE ME!!!!

Hi
I have a query that shows part numbers with a total qty ordered for a specified time period. This first part of the query is fine and is made into a table.
I am then trying to use this table to create a running sum with the list sorted in descending order, and ultimately break the list where the sum reaches 80% of the total qty across the whole list. I have tried the following formula and the table has been indexed in the descending order it would need to be in. The IndexAlias has also been created and made into a fixed table prior to running the 'Running Sum' query.
RunTot: DSum("qty_ordered","Core Stock","[Index]<=" & [IndexAlias] & "")
I have taken this formula from the microsoft link below, (Method 2), and adapted it to my query. However, although I have a decent understanding of Access I do not understand the '&' in this formula. Removing this and the double quotes on the end returns an error and leaving them in returns zeros all the way down the 'RunTot' field. If anyone can help I would appreciate it as I am stuck on this.

hey there,
i am trying to create running sum in a query. i found the function for a report but not i a query
From MS Access Help: ("You can number the items in your report by using a calculated control and the RunningSum property. First, you create a text box and set its ControlSource property to =1. Then, you set the RunningSum property for the text box. If you want the numbering to start over for each group, set the property to Over Group. If you want to accumulate a running sum for the entire report, set the property to Over All")
my overall goal is to number each Employees assignments that they have. That is Employee1 may be associated to 2 assignments, thus resulting in employee1, (assignment number) 1, employee1, (assignment number) 2, and Employee2 may have 4 assignments, employee2, (assignmetn number)1, employee2, (assignmetn number)2,employee2, (assignmetn number)3, employee2, (assignmetn number)4.
any ideas.

Hi - Once again I'm asking for your assistance. Ideally, below is how the form (and eventually a report) would look; the first three fields (ID, Date & Vol) I currently have in a table (tblMaster):
ID Date Volume YTDTotal Q1Total CurrQTDTotal Q2Total
A1 Jun-05 10,000 77,000 40,000 37,000 37,000
A1 May-05 15,000 67,000 40,000 27,000
A1 Apr-05 12,000 52,000 40,000 12,000
A1 ------ ------ 40,000 40,000
(Sorry, I couldn't get the above data to line up right :confused: )
How would I build a query such that I could show the above in a form/subform (and eventually a report)? Help is greatly appreciated.

Is there a way to run a query with macros? I don't want to open it. I just want to run it, generate a report which will then be sent via email. How do I go about it?

I am running a query that has over 14000 records. What I tell the query to is read two other queries and tell me which record does not match with the other one. My problem is, that it takes over 10 minutes to do.
I have already compressed the file. I do not have a primary key (trust me on it, I can not do that). Are there any other ways to resolve this?

I have a query with 40 fields and 16,000 records. Field 1 is Location, of which I have 197 unique values. What I would like to do is have a running count for each unique location and when the location changes start the count over again.
Example
Count Location Function
1 100 1111
1 105 1111
2 105 1121
3 105 1131
1 110 1151
2 110 1151
I am using Order By to get the proper sort. In some other instances I may want the count to be dependent on the combination of Location and Function codes. Can someone provide some SQL tip(s) that would allow me to accomplish this.
Thanks
Loki

Behind a command button, i have 3 queries being run. 2 of these queries are append queries, copying the specified record into another table (criteria set to ID of the main form) and the other query is to delete the record from the current table once it has been copied. This is then followed by another delete (not query)
When each of these are run, boxes pop up asking if you're sure you want to do it. I was wondering if it would be possibly to bring up my own box to ask if the user is sure they want to continue, and when they click yes, all the questions that the query asks about wanting to do it, are automatically chosen as yes.
I.E there is only one option box, yes and no, and no others appear.
Is this possible, if so, how?
Thanks

Hello,
Say for example I have a database containing the date of birth of people in the format of YYYYMMDD (a string/text field) and another field about the age of the person (a numerical field) and another field is, say, the date they had their birthday last year. I would like to check whether the year in the date of birth field and age adds together is the year in the date they had the last birthday field (or off by no more than 2 years), and give me the list of the people who are not. Is it possible to do that by writing a query or I have to use a macro and write an SQL statement for it? In both case, how should that be done?
Thanks a lot!

Hi Guys,
I'm doing a database for a client and I'm stuck on a graph (or rather having an overall total on the graph). I've done everything in the query but I do need a running sum for this. I've explored my books, looked on the help, checked out various past posts and I seem to be missing something.
I did find a helpful post which solved someone's problem and I have posted the code below. because everytime I try to come out of it (and I've retyped it a number of times) it keeps coming back with "Syntax error in string in query expression blah blah blah".
Code that I have is:-
SELECT Code, QC4RS, PODate, Net,
val(DSum("Net", "Costings Query", "Code"= '" &Code&"' and QC4RS =" & QC4RS & "and PODate <=# "& PODate&"#"))AS RunningSum
FROM [Costings Query];
What I want ultimately is a running sum of the Net Cost for the product code so that it gives me an overall total on the graph. It's now been over 8 hours that I've struggled with this and I'd really appreciate a fresh pair of eyes to tell me what I'm not seeing.
Thanks in advance.
