Tables :: Appending Data To A Linked Table?
Feb 6, 2014
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 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 have a table that is linked to a survey and pulls data from the limesurvey backend.
The user would like to add a local field, so they can add entries to each row of data.
Is that possible ?

I use Cognos to pull raw data from Oracle. I take this data and put it into Access 2010 tables to then run queries. Because the people creating the data in Oracle are often slow, I run back data to catch missed information, typically two months. For October, for example, I'll run October and also September and August.While I have new data, I also have a great deal of duplicate data. How can I ensure that I append only the new data and exclude the duplicate data?

I have 3 separate tables with the following fields: Year; Name of School; Emis No. (Primary Key); No. wrote; No. passed; Pass %. These tables were created in Excel and imported in Access.
I would like to do the following (see table below): 1. create a form that would allow me to view all the data per school in datasheet view and also allow me to enter new data annually; 2. create a new table where this information can be stored

I'm fairly new to Access, but have set up a database containing 8 normalized tables. I would like to know if it's possible to update all those tables by importing an Excel file into each table, or importing the Excel file into one Access table and then appending that table to those 8 tables. AND STILL MAINTAIN THE RELATIONSHIPS. The Help directory only talks about importing or appending into one table.

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 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
Mat

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.

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?

After appending data in a table, I open a particular form. I want to display only the last record. I've added the code (DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acLast) to the On Load and On Open properties without success (opens first record).

I have split database (B/E is in the SharePoint library, F/E has users on a local PCs). Sometimes, when I update/add data (does not matter if it is via form or directly in the table) it looks OK, but when I re-open the database, the data are gone.
Problem is that I cannot catch the moment when data were not saved (sometimes data are saved, sometimes not). I can point out this: if I re-enter the missing data, primary key continues subsequently, it looks like the data have never been entered. I tried to use script
Code:
If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False
on "On Close" form event, does not work.
B/E is linked by VBA code and it looks OK (no error, Link Manager shows correct path). I suspect interrupted connetion to the SharePoint but I don't know how to check it. I implemented VBA script co keep open connection to the SP but the issue persists.

I'm trying to perform a massive data dump. I have about 1,000 records that need to be added into my database. This is coming off an Excel spreadsheet.
I don't know if this is possible:
I have a table, tblTorders, which is linked to the table, tblItems.
When I open the tblTorders, I can click on the plus sign to expand and see the related data in tblItems.
How can I import data to populate the fields in both of these tables? I can't use the import function because you can only select to import it into one table.
Do I do it through a query.... I'm not sure where to go on this one.
Thanks so much

I have a table for a multiple parents linked to a child table. I need to figure out a way to only allow 1 parent to be coded as primary, 1 as secondary, and then the rest as other... I thought about making Primary/Secondary/Other a primary key. But then I can only have 1 other. I would have to make a finite number of parents that could be entered and I want an infinite number.... My end goal is to have a report that only has a primary and second parent on it, but the rest of the parents still exist in the table...
*Child_ID
Parent_First_Name
*Primary/Secondary/Other

I have what is probably a stupid question but I've been struggling with this one for a while. I have an ordering database which has an Orders table (containing Order ID, Date, Supplier etc) and an Order Line table within which I have a combo box for Product name, supplier, price, VAT rate, Line price etc. At the moment, I have the order line table as a subform within the Order form (run from the Orders table). The problem I'm having is the subtotal and total fields. At the moment these are in the Order Line table as I cannot figure out how to get these in the Orders table. In summary, can I make a calculated field in one table that calculates values from another table (linked by Order ID)?

Hi,
I have 2 linked tables, I would like to join these tables in access, however the first table's field is a memo and the second table is a number. I have tried to cint() the field in a query but I get an error message "Explicit conversion from datatype text to smallint is not allowed"
Any ideas how to get around this problem?
Thanks

I have a database consisting of three linked tables, with ID as unique identifier (primary key).
I would have expected the data type for my unique identifier, especially in the main table, to be Autonumber. However, I discovered with some surprise that the primary key (ID) in
Table 1 (Main table) is data type: number, field size: double
whereas in table 2 and table 3 the ID is data type: autonumber (field size: long integer)
It must have happend "SOMEHOW" when I divided the original single table.
Is this as it should be? Or could it lead to trouble later on?
If not as should be, is there anything I can do right now to rectify the situation with risking upsetting the relationships and all?
What precautions should I take, apart from taking a backup?
Thanks for your help.

I have an MS Access accdb with linked SQL Server 2012 ODBC tables. I am working on a procedure to copy data from local tables to these linked tables (identical schema). I did a simple
Code:
DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO linkedTable SELECT * FROM localTable"
This works, but is very slow. Way too slow. (INSERT copies the data one record at a time).
I would like to copy the data in a bulk operation, or operations that I can execute programmatically.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am having the problem of importing a database from Excel/Msaccess 2000 to a Msaccess 2000 database from which the data was originally exported. The Database consists of two tables connected in a querry and the two tables has a unique primary key thru which the two tables are linked using a querry. While importing only two tables are listed in the importing wizard and not the querry.
So how to import the data to the two tables connected by a querry using a primary unique key.
help me the procedure.
lrnathan
thanks in advance

I'm a bit new to Access but have managed to build a very simple database.
I have a main table which I need to add 4 columns onto the end of, the data for which comes from 4 tables linked to it. Below is how they are linked.
Main table------> Table 1
Main table------> Table 2
Main table------> Table 3
Main table------> Table 4
All 4 relationships have a join type of 2 (Include ALL records from 'Main table' and only those records from 'Table1/2/3/4' where the joined fields are equal)
However, 3 of them pull back the correct data when I refresh the Main table, but the 4th one doesn't - which appears to be to be set up in the exact same way. It does bring back data, but it's the wrong data or in the wrong order.
For example, if the related field in the Main table is "Sarah" - It needs to bring back "Programme", but some Sarah's pull through Programme, some are blank and some are another option altogether. Table 4 has no duplicates or typos etc and I've tried deleting it, loading it in again and creating a new relationship but nothing seems to work.

I'm using Access and Excel 2007.... I know how to import an Excel spreadsheet as a table.
I have several supplier price lists in Excel. I want to keep my vendor price lists up to date.
When one of my vendors tell me that a price has changed on a particular item, I figure that I could have a form that I could use to enter the changes.
I believe the form would look like:
Field: "Vendor" (drop down list to choose from. Name of the Supplier price lists) Required.
Field: "OEM" (Key Field found in each table) Required.
Field: "Brand" (Field found in each table) Not required.
Field: "Price" (Field found in each table) Required.
OEM would be the unique key field.
If I enter the Vendor name and then the OEM number it would show if there is already that number in the Vendor price list and I could make changes. Or I could enter new data in that vendor price list.
