Hi guys,
I have a text field in a database.
I run an update query and the database updates when the form field is text e.g 'location' or numerical '1234'. However if it is mixed, e,g VV1234 it fails to update and i get an update error.
Is this an Access thing? Is there a work around?
Thanks

Hi all,
I'm sure this is easy to do but for some reason i just cannot get it working. Hopefully someone here can tell me where i'm going wrong.
I have two tables in a database and the have a linking unique field. I want to update a column in one table from a column in another where the linking ID field matches.
Here's what i have at present.
Update Table_1 inner join Table_2 On Table_1.ID = Table_2.ID
Set Table_1.[CHI Number] = [Table_2]![CHI_No]
This is just returning the CHI Number column as blanks instead of what i expected would be the same as Chi_No.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
Thanks in advance
Hello all,
I have the below update query running
UPDATE tbl_master SET tbl_master.COLLRAW =
Iif(tbl_master.PSTATE = "WV","WV",
Iif(tbl_master.PSTATE = "MA","MA",
Null))
WHERE tbl_master.EXCLUDEREASON Is Null
but when I add this line:
UPDATE tbl_master SET tbl_master.COLLRAW =
Iif(tbl_master.PSTATE = "WV","WV",
Iif(tbl_master.PSTATE = "MA","MA",
Iif(tbl_master,MSPBANK in ("751","752","753","854","855"),"GS",
Null)))
WHERE tbl_master.EXCLUDEREASON Is Null
It give me an error message that says "Wrong number of arguments in Query Expression." Can anyone tell me what is wrong with the query above?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Everyone,
Here's the situation:-
I have a patient record with a specific consultant assigned to the patient. In some instances, the patient may request a different consultant. What I want to do is to allow the user to change the consultant and to save details about the change e.g. file no, old value, new value, date etc.
This is what I have done so far:-
I created a Query to retrieve details from 3 tables and assigned the value to be changed to a variable (oldvalue)
I then allow the user to select from a combo box the new consultant.
Details of these changes are then written to a table called tblchanges.
All the above is working.
The problem occurs when I try to update the consultant table, by replacing the old consultant with the newly selected consultant.
Can someone look at the code and let me know first if I am approaching this problem correctly and then why the code is not working.
Private Sub Combo36_Change()
Dim flno As String
Dim fldnme As String
Dim oldval As String
Dim newval As String
Dim tdate As Date
Dim ttime As Date
Dim sqn As String
Dim yrn As String
flno = PFILENO
fldnme = "Radiation Oncologst"
oldval = Text29
newval = Combo36
tdate = Date
ttime = Time
'Insert change values into tblchanges
strSql = "INSERT INTO tblchanges " _
& "( fileno,fieldname, oldvalue, newvalue, datechg,timechg ) " _
& "VALUES ('" & flno & "','" & fldnme & "','" & oldval & "','" & newval & "',#" & tdate & "#,'" & ttime & "')"
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.RunSQL strSql
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
strFILENO = (Left(Me!PFILENO, 4) & "/" & Right(Me!PFILENO, 4))
'update consultant table with new value
stsql2 = "UPDATE tblatdocts SET roncologist = '" & newval & "' "
stsql2 = stsql2 & "WHERE tblatdocts.FILENO = '" & strFILENO & "' "
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.RunSQL stsql2
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
End Sub
Thanks so much for your help.

Hello,
I am having a problem w/ my UPDATE statement when the date value is included in the statement. I have tried surrounding the date variable (strDate) in "#" and w/ and w/out single quotes to no avail. I doesn't matter if I dimension strDate as a string or a date. I know there must be a simple solution. In short, the UPDATE statement looks like this:
strSQL = "UPDATE tblTasks SET POC = '" & strPOC & "', Date = #" & strDate & "#, Task = '" & strTask & "' WHERE id = " & lID & ";"
If I remove Date = #" & strDate & "#, then the query works.
These also fail:
Date = #'" & strDate & "'#,
Date = '#" & strDate & "#',
Date = '" & strDate & "',
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

hi guys,
i have this sql that filters 2 tables to give me the highest number against a record and then i want to update the 1st table. but it dosnt seam to work it brings back the correct data but the sql has generated a non-updatable query.
any ideas?
UPDATE [SELECT ARCtblErrorInfo.Uber, Max(ARCtblHistory.Status) AS MaxOfStatus
FROM ARCtblErrorInfo LEFT JOIN ARCtblHistory ON ARCtblErrorInfo.Uber = ARCtblHistory.Uber
WHERE (((ARCtblErrorInfo.Status)=121))
GROUP BY ARCtblErrorInfo.Uber]. AS test INNER JOIN ARCtblErrorInfo ON test.Uber = ARCtblErrorInfo.Uber SET ARCtblErrorInfo.Status = [test].[MaxOfStatus];
I am using an update query comparing 2 tables to add new records from table 2 to table 1. This worked fine until we upgraded to Office 2007. Is this a function of 2007?
I am not getting any prompts to OK, "You are about to update 1500 records"
Thanks for any help.

I have this update query that is triggered by an after update event on a main form. The record being updated are in a continuous subform. It works well except from the last added/modified record. If I save and close the form and then open it again it works for all records but if modify or add a record, the update query will not work for that last modified/added record.
I have tried several things such as save record, use dirty = false for the on exit event of the subform control but nothing works. Here is the procedure:
Code:
Private Sub cboPoCurrency_AfterUpdate()
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
Dim db As Database
Dim strSql As String
Dim lngID As Long
Dim dblRate As Double
Set db = CurrentDb
[Code] ....
Why update query isn't working when trying to update an multivalued field. In this table, there are 647 records and only 9 of which already have a value set in the "AssociatedProject" field. More than one AssociatedProject is associated with a vendor, so this field allows for multiple entries. I've looked at all the information on update queries and updating a multivalued field, but it will only update the existing 9 records. It does not recognize the remaining ones (they have no values yet).
Here's the SQL:
UPDATE Tbl_Vendor SET Tbl_Vendor.AssociatedProject.[Value] = 3
WHERE (((Tbl_Vendor.AssociatedProject.Value) Is Null));
Why is this update query not working, I'm trying to update a date field stored in a table.
The new date is passed from a txtbox on a form to the update query!!!
SQL code
UPDATE TblDietPlantemp SET TblDietPlantemp.MealDate = [Forms]![FrmSwitchBoard]![txtCusDate];
What I want to do instead is open an existing .XLSM wokrbook delete or update the 7 sheets it creates and replace them with the new query results from access.
I love this code below because it works really well but now I have a new requirement. I have a workbook that has a "dashboard" sheet that looks at the sheets from acccess and summerizes the data. So, I'd like Access to open that "template" excel workbook and delete the old sheets and put in the new ones..The required sheets to keep are called "Metrics", "Validation" and "Mara"
What I was trying to do for the past few hours was another work around which was to have Access run this code, then excel run some code to import the "dashboard" formulas but I can't get it to copy to another workbook because it links to the OLD workbook..Here is the working code that needs modding:
Code:
Option Compare Database
Public Function ExportAdvanced()
Dim strWorksheet As String
Dim strWorkSheetPath As String
Dim appExcel As Excel.Application
Dim sht As Excel.Worksheet
Dim wkb As Excel.Workbook
Dim Rng As Excel.Range
Dim strTable As String
Dim strRange As String
Dim strSaveName As String
Dim strPrompt As String
Dim strTitle As String
Dim strDefault As String

Hi,
I used a before Update procedure to check if the date of a textbox is later than another text box. However, nothing seem to happen when I enter the wrong date.
Here is my code:
Private Sub txtDateOfCompletionForHandover_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim anticipatedCompletionDate As Date
Dim dateCompletionHandover As Date
'assign vars values
anticipatedCompletionDate = txtAnticipatedCompletionDate.Value
dateCompletionHandover = txtDateOfCompletionForHandover.Value
'If date1 refers to a later point in time than date2, the DateDiff function returns a negative number
If DateDiff("d", anticipatedCompletionDate, dateCompletionHandover) < 0 Then
MsgBox "You are trying to Handover house before the house is finished!" & vbCrLf & vbLf & _
"Please enter a later date than Anicipated Completion Date above.", , "House Handover"
'empty textbox and keep focus
txtDateOfCompletionForHandover.Text = ""
txtDateOfCompletionForHandover.SetFocus
End If
End Sub
Any help will be very much appreciated.

Hi all,
I'm trying to use an update query, but somehow, it doesn't store anything in my database. This is my code:
sql = "UPDATE CONSTRUCTIEF SET ConstructiefScore = " & strGebouwConsScore & " AND ConstructiefCommentaar = '" & strGebouwConsOmschrijving & "' WHERE ConstructiefID = " & strGebouwCons
DoCmd.RunSQL sql
When the execution reaches this peace of code, I actually get the right warning message because he's going to update a table, but when i'm looking in the table afterwards, nothing has been updated.
Anybody got any clue?
Thnx in advance,
Freak
I'm very new to Access 2000. I'm working with 3 tables.
I finally got this sql statment to work:
SELECT [tlkp.Language].[LangID],
[tblRawData].[LangName],
[tblApplication].[AppID]
FROM (tlkpLanguage INNER JOIN tblRawData
ON [tlkpLanguage].[LangName]=[tblRawData].[LangName])
INNER JOIN tblApplication ON [tblRawData].[AppID]=[tblApplication].[AppId]
How can I change it to UPDATE?
I want to update the tblApplication.LangID = tlkpLanguage.LangID using the joins described in the select statement?
There is no LangName field in the tblApplication.
I have tried everything and I keep getting syntax errors.
I am trying to update values in an unbound text box based on a selection in the combo box on the same form; however whilst I am easily able to display the information for the first selection the values do not update when I change the value in the drop down.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've done this tons of times, so I don't understand what's happening... The title says it all: when I update the ID of one record of the main table, the referenced records on related tables won't update even though they have a relationship between them with the option "Cascade update" clicked.
In the attached database, the main table "Expedientes" is related to table "Actuaciones".
Hi,
I have a database with a couple of tables. The primary table has a primary key called "StaffNo". I checked the relationships between the primary table and each related table, if I have ticked on the boxes for referential integrity, cascade updates. All done. If I now create a query, which selects the primary table and one related table and enter a new StaffNo, I would expect to see the new StaffNo not only in the primary table but also in the related one. But there is nothing. Do I expect wrong? Have I missed sth.? I read a few posts in this and other forums reg. referential integrity, but I have no clue, what's wrong. :confused:
Any quick help is much appreciated.
Thanks :)
What I'm trying to do here is, update my access table ("Table1") from excel sheet ("Myexcel.xls"). Excel file contains all the information however access table is not updated except "RefNo" field. Condition what I coded here is when once connection is build, "RefNo" in excel matched with "RefNo" of access table , update the other fields in Access table. Which is working fine (doesn't showing any error) but still data is not updated in access table. I don't know why is not updating it....

I know there are numerous threads regarding dsum() on the forum, but I wasn't able to find the exact answer to my problem.
The root of my problem is that I'm trying to update a field on a table using dsum, which references another query to update the table. Although I have all of the correct keys from the physical table joined to the query in the dsum function, the code/ms access seems to ignore the joins. As a result, all payees are having their "vol" field set instead of a select subset.
Query (GetTxnVolAmtTR"):
SELECT p.payee_id, sum(txn_volume) AS vol, t.market, t.period_id
FROM ft_payees AS p, ft_txn_summary AS t
WHERE p.payee_id=t.payee_id And p.market=t.market
GROUP BY t.payee_id, t.period_id, t.market, p.payee_id;
Update statement (references the query above):
UPDATE tmp_ft_component AS rc
SET rc.volume = Dsum("vol","GetTxnVolAmtTR","GetTxnVolAmtTR.payee_id= " & [rc.payee_id] And "GetTxnVolAmtTR.market= " & [rc.market] And "GetTxnVolAmtTR.period_id= " & [rc.period_id] & "")
WHERE rc.component_name='Total Revenue';
as you can see, I have all of the fields I want joined, but the code seems to ignore this. I've tried looking at this site: http://www.mvps.org/access/general/gen0018.htm , but haven't found my answer. Any help would be much appreciated!
Hi,
I hope someone is able to help me. I've been working on this for days. I have a report which has a 2 subreports in it. I have the subreport bound and have a query working in the recordsource. Here is the recordsource:
SELECT [Casual Roster Information].ID, [Casual Jobs/Dates].LinkID, Sponsors.SponsorID
I have one report with the Master/Child fields filled in and set but the sponsors subform I cannot fill in the Child field. It says I need to put SponsorID in the recordsource. I thought I did have this(see above.) That's my first problem.
My bigger problem which I think the previous problem is contributing too is my subreport shows up blank. When I run my query it works perfect. But, when I run it with the rest of the program the subreport shows up blank.
Anyone know how I can go about fixing this??
Thanks!!

Hi Guys,
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.
Any suggestion guys & gals?
Many thanks

Ok, i have a question about update queries.I have two tables (I'll call table 1 and table two for simplicity) and an update query. I want to get some data from table one to table two (via an update query). But in table two there is a field that isn't in table one but i want to add a value to that field via the query.My question is, can i manually put into the query what data to add to a field instead of/aswell as using data from other tables.I hope you understood my questions.Cheers
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I have a problem with a delete query i am trying to set up and hopefully one of you experts can help me out.
I have a table called [PMI] and a table called [Referrals]
The tables have a one to many relationship and are linked by the primary key field Patient_No.
I want to delete all records in [PMI] that have no records in [Referrals] and this is what i'm having problems with. I have created a select query where i can return the records i want to delete but its the removing of them from PMI that i cannot figure out.
Hope that makes sense, all help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Secondy how do i supply dates dynamically.
we have a main table for tracking pickups....some of the fields are combo boxes with relationships to other tables....one such relationship is units (ml, gallon, ounce, etc)...in the main table everything works just fine....a user enters the location info, the amount and the corresponding units. thus, an example would be a user picks up something from building X, room 101, 10, Gallons.....the 10 refers to the gallons, the user picked up 10 gallons...
now for the query:
i'm creating a query for which i will base a report on...in query design if i just select the above info everything works fine....it comes out on the report as 5 Gallons....however, what i'd like to do is concatenate the two fields so that they take up less space on the report and are more visibly appealing...here's what i tried in query design:
Amt: [amount]&Space(1)&[units]
this does not work....in the units table that provides Gallons as a selection in the combo field, Gallons has a key value of 5.....thus, when i run the query using the above code i get 10 5 - where 10 is the amount the amount and 5 is the key from the combo box...
i've tried bringing in the units table but then i get a type mismatch....how can i concatenate the two fields and show the proper units? this has to be simple but i cannot get it to work... :mad:
