I wrote the following in queries:
DELETE *
FROM tblCitationAuthor
WHERE (((tblCitationAuthor.CitationAuthorID) Not In (SELECT CitationAuthorLastName from tblCitations)));
The field and table names are correct but it doesn't delete the records, I get no errors either. Am I doing something wrong?
Hi all, can someone please help me get the syntax below right?
I'm loading the values of 2 text boxes, tabl and text10 from my form into the statement.
Many thanks
db.Execute "DELETE * FROM " & Me.tabl & " WHERE ID = ('" & Me.Text10& "');"
How to DELETE rows in one table that have a field value that matches a field value from another table? Tried these but sytax errors:
DELETE * FROM tmpBankDebitsMinusJE
WHERE tmpBankDebitsMinusJE.ConcatenateBankDebits IN
(SELECT tmpJournalEntryChangeOrders.Concatenate);
DELETE FROM tmpBankDebitsMinusJE
WHERE ConcatenateBankDebits IN
(SELECT Concatenate IN tmpJournalEntryChangeOrders);
All I am trying to do is insert to have a form with a "Delete Record" button on it. The problem is I don't want anyone to be able to delete a record, I would like someone to have to insert a password to confirm the delete.
View 13 Replies View RelatedI have a query based on two tables, joined on one field (this field is the primary key in Table A. Table B doesn't have a primary key). When working inside this query, it gives me the option to delete records. However, when I try, the row disappears from the query but then if I save and close and either re-open table A or the resulting query, that record is back. It doesn't actually delete. If I go to table A directly and delete it, it's gone for good.
How can I make it so that when I delete the record inside the query it actually deletes? And if that's not an option, can I make it so that it doesn't seem like I can delete records inside the query so that people don't make the mistake?
I have two simple tables. I want to delete the records from Table1 that are on Table2. I've created a select query that gives me what I want but when I change to a delete query, I get this message: "Unable to delete from specified tables"
I think my problem has something to do with security but I can't figure out what to change.
Hi,
in the following code:
Dim dbtmp As DAO.Database
Dim tblObj As DAO.TableDef
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set dbtmp = OpenDatabase("C:WINDOWSBureaudevcli.xls", False, True, "Excel 8.0;")
DoEvents
Set rs = dbtmp.OpenRecordset("select * from [DEVCLI$A1:C10]")
in the last line i would like replace DEVCLI (the Excel sheet name) by a variable to make my program works with any excel file.
What is the syntaxe for that ?
Thanks in advance for help.

Hi there
I'm trying to write a query using an IIF statement in the "Field" property of the Access Query Design Grid the new Column is called F:
there are 3 Columns, System, Etot, Itot in a mytable
Basically in English the query goes,
IF mytable.[System] = 700,
mytable.[Etot] = 0,
mytable.[Itot] = 0
then the newly created derived column
mytable.[F] "N/A"
OTHERWISE
mytable.[F] "OK"
I hope someone understands,

Hi,
I wud like to know why this syntax is not working.
select * from table_name where col_val like 'a%'
This returns the column values that start with 'a'. I was getting the result properly few days ago. But now suddenly this query doesnot give the result. When i tried this out in a website it was working there, but not in access.
Can anybody see what is wrong in this syntax? If the syntax is right where wud be the fault?
Can someone tell me how to insert the contents of a variable into a table?
I am trying to add selected items from a listbox (Members) into a temporary table (tempMembers). The code is below. On debugging, it picks up the contents of the variable (iMemberID) OK, but adds "0" to the temp table (both are integers). I'm pretty sure the problem is in the Insert statement below (stSQL3), but I can't figure out how to write it!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
stSQL3 = "INSERT INTO tempMembers (MemberID) VALUES & iMemberID & ;"
For Each varItm In Me!Members.ItemsSelected
iMemberID = ctl.ItemData(varItm)
DoCmd.RunSQL stSQL3

Can someone help me on the syntax for the following?
I have two tables: one is TapeNumber and has one field (Tape_No) autonumbered PK. The other table has information about the video and uses the Tape_No as a secondary key.
I have a form to add information about videos. I have the form bound to the first table, so it adds a new TapeNumber when I add a record. I have a subform displaying the video information for that tape (there may be several videos recorded on one tape).
When I add a new tape (or video to an existing tape), how do I save the tape number to the second table?
Thanks!

I am trying to open a PDF from Access. I get it to work but it requires me to hard code the path and fiel name....
The path will always be the same although the file name will change. RIght now I get the fiel name from a textbox on a form...I am trying to change the below working code with a varaible instead of the path....I think there is some systax issues that I cannto fingure out
TotPath is the variable that holds the entire path to the file "X:Map_LibraryPark_and_Rec_AsbuiltPRA_19_73-01_W0.pdf"
This variable is rebuilt everytime the user selects something on the form....so the actual File name will change every time...
Does anyone have and ideas as to how to incorporate a variable instead of the hard coded path?
THank you all for your help.....

I'm familiar with SQL but not with Access97 - some wierd syntax here!
I'm creating a Query that is to Delete records from a table depending on a non-key field in a second table.
I first tried an INNER JOIN
DELETE Activity_Preferences.*
FROM Activity_Preferences INNER JOIN Activity_Key
Activity_Preferences.Activity_Key=Activity_Key.Act ivity_Key AND Activity_Key.Complete=1;
which was initially accepted but then complained about the INNER JOIN after I went in a second time to 'fix' the error.
I've finally got the following syntax accepted:-
DELETE Activity_Preferences.*
FROM Activity_Preferences, Activity_Key
WHERE Activity_Preferences.Activity_Key=Activity_Key.Act ivity_Key AND Activity_Key.Complete=1;
But when executed still gets the following error (same as for the INNER JOIN):-
'Operation must use an updatable query'.
What else is needed?

Hi,
In a form i use the following filter fonction :
DoCmd.ApplyFilter , "CliNom = '" & RunCli & "'"
The problem is that sometimes RunCli (wich is a name) contains ' symbol and then generates a syntaxe error, is there a way to prevent that ?
Thanks in advance.

On my form I have 2 radio buttons rdoAll and rdoSpecific. If rdoAll is true then it prints a report. THis part works fine. However if rdoSpecific is true then I make visable combo box to look up an ID. Then when I click the button I want the same form to open but with just the info pertaining to the ID selected. Here is my code:
Private Sub cmdLotHistory_Click()
Dim stDocName As String, stSelection As String
stDocName = "rptLotHistory"
If Me.rdoAll = True Then
DoCmd.OpenReport "rptLotHistory", acViewPreview
End If
If Me.cboLotLU.Value > 0 Then
stSelection = "[LotID] =" & Me![cboLotLU]
End If
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acViewPreview, , stSelection
End Sub
When I choose the ID and click the button I get the message
Run-Time error '3075':
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression '(LotID
=020806B1585)'.
the 020806B1585 is my ID number.
Debug hightlights the
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acViewPreview, , stSelection
but I'm guessing my real problem lies in the
stSelection = "[LotID] =" & Me![cboLotLU]
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Rick
I am using the folling code in a after update combobox event:
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim sqlwhere As String
sqlwhere = " "
If IsNull(Me.comboSearchSerial) = False Then
sqlwhere = "SerialNumber='" & Me.comboSearchSerial & "' and "
End If
mysql = "SELECT TBL_RMA.* from [TBL_RMA] Where "
mysql = mysql & sqlwhere
mysql = mysql & ";"
Forms!FRM_RMA.RecordSource = mysql
Exit_comboSearchSerial_AfterUpdate:
This is currently working for me with SerialNumber being a text field. I would like to use the same code substituting SerialNumber with a Date field. I know its probly an issue with the use of quotes, but I can't seem to figure it out. Also, if I wanted to use a number format, what would I use...
Thanks

Hi, I need some syntax help on the following line of code:

thanks!!
I have a FE/BE access database. I have split it for our business processes from the original owners who decided to keep it combined. I have in my code Set rst = CurrentDb which needs to point to the BE (where the tables are) and I am struggling with getting the proper syntax. My error msgs are as follows:
"Operation is not supported for this type of object" (most likely becuase the rst is nothing)
I then get an error msg related to the form that it cannot update the StudentID field.
The help VB help module is not able to display this information..
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Greetings,
I have a form under development that is to assign an invoice number to a specific set of records based on the client, contractor and job type.
All the above are combo boxes and the first 2 have rowsource directly from tables, no problem.
The 3rd, JobType is dependent on the first 2 being identified first. Thus the query builds from information on the loaded form.
I have built a query that obtains the data needed for the combo-box whose SQL is as follows:
SELECT [Lookup:Job_Description].Job
FROM (([Lookup:Clients] INNER JOIN [Lookup:Contractor] ON [Lookup:Clients].Client_ID = [Lookup:Contractor].Client_ID) INNER JOIN Contractor_Fees ON ([Lookup:Contractor].Contractor_ID = Contractor_Fees.ContractorID) AND ([Lookup:Contractor].Client_ID = Contractor_Fees.Client_ID)) INNER JOIN [Lookup:Job_Description] ON Contractor_Fees.Job_Type = [Lookup:Job_Description].Job_Key
WHERE ((([Lookup:Clients].Company_Name)=[Forms]![frmAssign_Invoice_Num]![cboCompanyName]) AND (([Lookup:Contractor].Contractor_Name)=[Forms]![frmAssign_Invoice_Num]![cboContractorName]));
--- hope you can read that!
I have attempted to format this so that it can be executed in code under the GotFocus event. My code, which does compile looks like this:
cboJobType.RowSource = "SELECT [Lookup:Job_Description].Job " & _
"FROM [Lookup:Clients] INNER JOIN [Lookup:Contractor] ON " & _
"[Lookup:Clients].Client_ID = [Lookup:Contractor].Client_ID " & _
"INNER JOIN Contractor_Fees ON " & _
"[Lookup:Contractor].Contractor_ID = [Contractor_Fees].ContractorID " & _
"AND [Lookup:Contractor].Client_ID = [Contractor_Fees].Client_ID " & _
"INNER JOIN [Lookup:Job_Description] ON " & _
"[Contractor_Fees].Job_Type = [Lookup:Job_Description].Job_Key " & _
"WHERE [Lookup:Clients].Company_Name = " & [Forms]![frmAssign_Invoice_Num]![cboCompanyName] & _
"AND [Lookup:Contractor].Contractor_Name = " & [Forms]![frmAssign_Invoice_Num]![cboContractorName]
But something is wrong that the compiler is missing. Can anyone find the error?
I have tremendous difficulty with sql in code. Is there any utility out there that can check syntax better than the in-program compiler?
My thanks in advance for any assistance. Right now, I am banging my head against the wall.
Regards, Sorrells
Greetings all,
I am trying to run the query below to tell me how much stock a company has available by deducting the amount dispatched from its allocation. I am getting an error message;
Run Time error '3061'
Too few parameters expect 2
The code is;
Dim db As DAO.Database, qr1 As DAO.QueryDefs
Dim rs1 As DAO.Recordset, rs2 As DAO.Recordset
Dim varVal0 As Variant, varVal1 As Variant, varVal2 As Variant
Dim strSQL As String
Set db = DBEngine(0)(0)
VarVal0 = Me.WINENUMBER
strSQL = "SELECT Sum(tbl_Data_DispatchLineitems.Amount) AS Amount "
strSQL = strSQL & "FROM tbl_data_DispatchDetails INNER JOIN tbl_Data_DispatchLineitems ON tbl_data_DispatchDetails.DispatchID = tbl_Data_DispatchLineitems.DispatchID "
strSQL = strSQL & "GROUP BY tbl_data_DispatchDetails.TradingName, tbl_Data_DispatchLineitems.WineNumber "
strSQL = strSQL & "HAVING ((tbl_data_DispatchDetails.TradingName)=[Forms]![frm_data_Orders]![TradingName]) AND (tbl_Data_DispatchLineitems.WineNumber = VarVal0)"
Set rs2 = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
rs2.Edit
varVal1 = rs2![Amount]
rs2.Close
I assume the error lies in the final line of the query code. Any help to find the error would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I have a function that builds a filter and it get a syntex error. It has three components and I must be missing something in combining them into the filter. SpecID and ReviewID are numbers. Selected is a checkbox and 'Yes' is a string. Can anyone see the source of the Syntax Error?

Dim strFilter1 As String, strFilter2 As String, strFilter3 As String
strFilter1 = "[SpecID] = " & [Forms]![frmMainEntry]![SpecID]
strFilter2 = "[ReviewID] = " & [Forms]![frmMainEntry].Form!fctlReviewRequests!ReviewID
strFilter3 = "[Selected] = 'Yes'"

This is my current SQL Statement:
SELECT [qryGroupByAMCount].[TestCode], [qryGroupByAMCount].[Price], [qryGroupByAMCount].[HID], [qryGroupByAMCount].[Month], [qryGroupByAMCount].[CountOfAutoNumber], IIf([TESTCODE]="PTCGCD",[CountOfAutonumber]*2,IIf([TESTCODE]="LSHABC",[CountofAutonumber]*4,IIf([TESTCODE]="HPVPNL",[CountOfAutonumber]*2,IIf([TESTCODE]="TOXOAB",[CountofAutonumber]*2,[CountofAutonumber])))) AS Extended
FROM qryGroupByAMCount;
I wanted to add some SQL which will filter out some entries in this format:
<> "TestCodeName1" or <> "TestCodeName2" <> "TestCodeName3"...
How do i incorporate this statement into mine?
