Tables :: Cannot Enter Value Into Blank Field On (one) Side Of Outer Join
Apr 28, 2014
My goal is to create a form that allows me easily edit what State each City is assigned to, and edit what Country each State is assigned to. I have 3 tables:
tbCities
CityID (Primary Key)
StateID (Foreign Key from tbStates)
City
tbStates
StateID (Primary Key)
CountryID (Foreign Key from tbCountries)
State
tbCountries
CountryID (Primary Key)
Country
For right now, I want to focus on just States and Cities... so I also have this query:
quCity_to_State
Field: City
Table: tbCities
Field: State
Table: tbStates
The join type for the relationship between tbCities and tbStates is: Include ALL records from 'tbCities' and only those records from 'tbStates' where the joined fields are equal. That way I can see all the cities and the state they are assigned to.
However, when I view the query in datasheet view and try to type anything into the State field of this query, I keep getting this error: "Cannot enter value into blank field on 'one' side of outer join". I figured the source of the form should be this query instead of the tables directly, but if I can't input data into the query then I wont be able to input data into the form.
I think I have just finished designing my database and I tried to test it and I couldn't enter any new records as it says "Can't enter data into blank field on "one" side of outer join" whenever I try and enter info and I don't know much SQL to work out what has happened. It probably causes this too but I also cannot select check boxes.
The form where I try and enter the info is called Crisis_support_workers v3. I have attached my database so you can look at what I have done.
Thanks for all help so far, this forum is great ;)
I have 3 tables: Order, Product and Names.
I want to list All orders, no matter if they hold a key to a product or not, and no matter if this product has been given a name (in the table name) or not.
To make it even more complicated, the customer can give upp to 16 namesuggestions, they are all numbered from 1-16. But If they are given a namesuggestion, i only want to present the first one (nr 1).
Relations: 1 order -> 0 or 1 product. 1 order -> 0 or up to 16 names, of which i only want to display nr 1.
Any suggestions? I am thinking of preparing the data in a temporary table, but would be glad if i did not need to do so....
I am trying to create a warehouse database in acees 2007 and 2010 that can track goods that come in.i have two types of goods Specials which is not on my current stock list and Current stock of which i have a excel sheet of around 32000+ items.I have 2 warehouse to put the stock in with over 100 locations.I am trying to track the stock that comes in by saying it is Special or Current stock if Special and i enter the data it should add it to my Stock sheet if current I can choose it from the Current Stock list; allocate it to a location .
Lastly i need to be able to move the stock either from one location to another in the warehouses or to a customer on a orderI have created a few tables and tried to link it as best i can after reading 100's of posts and access for dummies
tblProduct ProductPK-Autonumber ProductCode - Text Description - Text Dept - Text
tblLocation LocationPK - AutoNumber Location - Text
lnktblPtoductLocation LinkPK -Autonumber ProductFK - Number(long integer) LocationFK - Number(Long Integer) Qty - Number PoNumber - Text DateIn - DateTime
i set this up as a many to many relation and that is as far as i got.when i try and enter a location for a product to test it say i cant update location field and things like i cant enter data on the one side of the many to many relation.
Okay i have 3 tables I would like to join them all by a field called twp, but the problem is in some tables the field twp might contain more or less rows than table2 and table3 or vice versa. Is there a way to include all the rows from all tables in a query. Suppose if table2 has a column which table1 doesnt have, then it will just show table1 column as blank etc.. Iv tried just doing an outer join on all the tables but for some reason access doesnt allow it.
I'm trying to write a query that will get all the records from one table, and only certain records from others. (Access2000) I'm getting a "join expression not supported" error however, so my question is two fold.
1. Does Access2000 support an inner and outer join the in same query? 2. Does my query below just have a syntax error thats causing the problem?
Here is the SQL, i've posted a rough table schema below too. (please note i'm using ColdFusion to query the database, so the #tstiid# is a variable passed to the query)
SELECT ((iss.iid, pg.pgid, pg.pg_name FROM issues iss LEFT JOIN issuespages ip ON ip.iid = iss.iid) RIGHT JOIN pages pg ON pg.pgid = ip.pgid WHERE iss.iid = #tstiid#
Database layout:
Table 1, named: issues
iid | issuename | a ton of other fields ------------------------ 1 | April 2006 | 2 | May 2006 |
table 2: pages
pgid | pagename | pagecontent | etc ------------------------------------- 1 | Contact us | To contact us, use the following... 2 | News | Upcoming news...
I have been running a query to find out the name and addresses of some of our customers but some data keeps coming in to the results that i dont want to see.
The data is in the Name column so I have built a second table and put the names of the items i do not wish to see in the second table using a left outer join and selecting null or not null. This works great if i know all the combinations of the name such as smith i.e d smith david smith, sam smith dd smith etc.
I would like to enter Smith into the table and have my query return everything except with the word smith in.
I can code this into the query with not like *smith* but that means everytime i want to go into it i would have to enter the query not the front end
I am working on a schema that might need outer joins for some of the queries and thereby reports I will need to produce. So, I wanted to get an idea from the pros about the following strategy:
How about leaving all the joins in the Relationships to begin with as Inner Join and change them to Outer Join as required (for a given Query. I believe this is possible)? What are the pros and cons of this approach.
I'm the dummy in question. I'm new to Access and have a fairly simple database that I'm using to find potential customers. I am targeting them by two criteria using two different queries (both queries are looking at different fields of the same table). I want to create a combined query that pulls ALL of the results from both of my target queries. Searching around this forum I see that I need to create an Outer Join which Access doesn't exactly do. I also see that there are ways to simulate this, but I can't seem to figure out those ways. If someone could please explain this to me in a very simple way, I would be very grateful. Thank you.
I have a table and a query. The first 4 fields of the table correspond to that of the query. The query does not have any other fields, but the table has 26 more fields. Is it possible to use SQL OUTER JOIN or UNION or whatever to append the data of the query to the table or do I have to go with recordsets of VBA?
Access 2000 tbl_TESTS (lists all active employees for a company) tbl_RANDOMS (table that lists which employee needs to take a test)
[EmpSS] is a social security field in both tables to connect them. I need a form that will allow me to show all active employees from tbl_TESTS and then select the option for a test from the tbl_RANDOMS.
tbl_RANDOMS EmpSS 1Q07 2Q07 3Q07 4Q07
tbl_TESTS CompName NameFirst NameLast EmpSS EmpInPool (yes/no check box for active employees)
I want a form that lists all of the fields above. Show all the active employees Then if I type something into one of the four fields for tbl_RANDOMS it adds a new record to the table.
I have added a simple DB for an example. When the form opens select Wal-Mart from the drop down. You will see the 8 people they have as current employees. Now it will not allow me to select one of the drop downs for any of the quarterly stats. Thanks.
I have query , which has got 2 outer joins. The query is:
SELECT A.Project_ID, A.Title, A.comm1 AS Comments, A.Partner AS PM, A.Staff_Assigned AS TL, A.Contact_Name AS FL, A.MD, A.Status, A.Project_Type, ISNULL(B.Delivered_Date, B.Delivery_Date) AS Start_Date, ISNULL(C.Delivered_Date, C.Delivery_Date) AS End_Date FROM dbo.PROJECT A LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.PROJDATE B ON A.Project_ID = B.Project_ID AND B.Date_Type = "Start Date" LEFT OUTER JOIN dbo.PROJDATE C ON A.Project_ID = C.Project_ID AND C.Date_Type = "End Date"
Can anybody help me out the error with this. I get an error : at dbo.PROJDATE B ON A.Project_ID = B.Project_ID AND B.Date_Type = "Start Date" .
Do I need to use any parantheris or change anthing.
I have 2 tables (tblItemsQB and tblItemInfo) that have a 1 to 1 relationship linked by the "PartNumber" field. The tblItemsQB table contains a description field and 2 price fields (this table is downloaded from Quickbooks). The tblItemInfo table contains additional fields with information on the part that isn't contained in Quickbooks, like OrderType, Phase, SubSystem.
I import the items from QB into tblItemsQB and then do an outer join with tblItemInfo to link all the information for the part. If I have created a new part in Quickbooks, when I do the outer join (I include all records from tblItemsQB) I can see the new part but since the part number doesn't exist yet in tblItemInfo, I can't add the information to the fields in that table.
What is the easiest way to create the new PartNumbers (those that exist in tblItemsQb but not in tblItemInfo) in the tblItemInfo table so I can add the other information to it?
Now that i have read this again, i think it could be summed up into one question...if i have a form based off a query with an outer join that has various duplicate records, is there a way to use the recordset in an if statement that says something like if this recordID = that recordID then dont show one of them...hence not showing the duplicate field data in the form.If you want a more specific description of the problem, read on, otherwise don't read on.Hi All,So I hope I can explain this ok....here goes....I have a search using dynamic queries: I have a form where the user can put in various information he wants to search to find a record. In this case it is searching for Hotels. So the user can search a country to see all of the hotels in that country. Also, the user can search an interest like Beach or Nature to see those hotels that apply. Obviously each hotel may have more than one interest so I have a 1-many relationship with a table called Hotels_Interests.The kicker, and you can likely already see why, is that the user does not have to fill out every search field. He may search Country&Interest, or just one or the other, or leave everything blank to see all hotels in the database. The results are simply ordered by HotelID or something like that in a form that is based off the dynamic query. The dynamic query is of course just based off the query i explained, but with criteria added in.The problem is with the query that i am basing this search off of. Right now it has the main Hotels table as well as the 1-Many table Hotels_Interests and even another that is 1-Many Hotels_HotelTypes (say All Inclusive, Resort, etc.). So this query has various 1-Many tables as well as the main Hotels. Now, if i fill in all of those fields in the search form, there will obviously not be any duplicates returned, which is super. But if i leave Hotel_HotelTypes search field blank, i will be returned with the same hotel twice or more times, which is my problem, because i want nice search results.I have heard of people using Union queries to get rid of duplicates but this obviously does not solve my problem as i do not want to just get rid of these entries. What i think i want is some VBA method or whatever of showing in my search results each HotelID that meets the search criteria only one time.Right now i have it working with If statements that say if the user has left a specific search criteria blank then base the search off a different query. This is obviously crazy and is only a temp fix. Now that i want three or more 1-many tables in my query, i would be talking about if statements for like 6 or more queries, insane.I apologize for the length of this, but i wanted to be perfectly clear. I feel like it should be not too hard, like using a record set for the form and not showing certain records or something, but i am not sure how to do it.Thanks so much. Dillon
I have a simple nested query that is not working as expected. My inner query returns 102 records but when I run with outer query I only get 96 records. Below is my query, I don't really want to pull the same fields from both tables but I was doing to test. The values that are missing are those that don't exist with the monthenddate 8/31/2014 - a left join should fix that but doesn't seem to be working ..
Code:
Select distinct a.entity, a.gl_account,a.profit_center,[Open Items_1].profit_center,[Open Items_1].gl_account,[Open Items_1].entity from( SELECT DISTINCT [Open Items].entity, [Open Items].gl_account, [Open Items].profit_center FROM [Open Items] )a left outer JOIN [Open Items] AS [Open Items_1] ON (a.profit_center = [Open Items_1].profit_center) AND (a.gl_account = [Open Items_1].gl_account) AND (a.entity = [Open Items_1].entity) Where ([Open Items_1].MonthEndDate=#8/31/2014#)
I am fairly new to Acces 2010.I have two seperate tables hat I need to use to compare data. As you can see table A and table B have some of the same item numbers but they also have different item numbers that are not other table. Also some of the item numbers are duplicated in each table but that is okay because the cost of the item is different. Both tables contain item numbers for the products. I want all of Table A item numbers including the item numbers that are in table B. But I also want Table B item numbers except for the item numbers that are also in Table A. In the real raw data file some of the item number fields are blank but the other fields have values. How should I query these tables so that I achieve the correct results?
Table A Item Num Costof Item Supplier Sales Tax Purchase Month 1234 $1.00 Walmart $2.00 Dec 2013 2222 $4.00 Walmart $1.00 Dec 2013 2222 $2.00 Walmart $1.00 Dec 2013 1276 $3.00 Sams club $1.50 Dec 2013 7898 $5.00 Texaco $5.00 Dec 2013 4567 $3.50 Food Lion $1.00 Dec 2013
Now, I know that something in the UPDATE statement does not match my select statement.What should my Update Statement be, in order to update all the columns in the joined tables?
Pls, does someone have any idea of how I can do an "OUTER JOIN"-like effect on an Access querie? I tried to use this statement in his standard but it didn't work...
I have a relationship from one table to another. If one item is entered into one field, I would like it to auto-populate it into another field. But there are several more fields I would like to be autopopulated.
EX Table_1
item no, hull no, description
Table_2 item no, hull no, description..
I want to enter data into table 1 and have it auto populate into table 2. How is this to be done
So I'm trying to manipulate Access to create a Directory for my church. I'm trying to get a report to show the church staff, which I was able to do, but I was wondering, is it possible to get the records to show side by side instead of one on top of the other?
I included a picture of the design view showing what I would like to see. Excuse the way the numbers are written, it's hard to write with a mouse.
I have two tables: Focus and Comp..I want to join these two tables based on field: DwId...For this example, I made a Comp table that has 3 DwId's not present in the Focus table.When I run the below statement, I am not getting the 3 records only present in the Comp table in the result.
SELECT Focus.DwId, Focus.PRD_May2012, Focus.PRD_May2012 - Comp.PRD_May2012 AS PRD_DiffMay2012 FROM Focus RIGHT JOIN Comp ON Focus.DwId = Comp.DwId
I have split my database, the data is in a DB on the server and the forms, reports, etc is on the client desktop. My question is "Is there an advantage to having all of my combo box queries (Lookups) on the server side (defined in the table as a combo lookup) or should I put the all on the form so that they reside in client side DB.
Form with three sections. I have three queries selecting different set of set in a table, I would like to show all three in a form side by side. How can I do this? I use form wizard bit it only uses one query as a source.
And then called this join as a symbol or variable, and then have it use to select the items from these joined tables, can this be done in Access? Here is an example of a code that I created, but it has an error message saying the FROM syntax is incorrect.
Code: SELECT firstJOIN.trainID, firstJOIN.trainName, firstJOIN.stationID, firstJOIN.stationName, firstJOIN.distance_miles, firstJOIN.time_mins FROM (trains INNER JOIN ((station INNER JOIN lineStation ON station.stationID = lineStation.stationID) INNER JOIN bookingLeg ON bookingLeg.startID = station.stationID or bookingLeg.endID = station.stationID ) ON trains.trainID = bookingLeg.tid) as firstJOIN
Can Access do something similar to this, in the FROM statement I joined 4 tables, because each unique fields are in each table and I have to joined them to get those fields. I called this join firstJOIN and in the SELECT statement, I list those columns in the table by calling it firstJOIN.trainID. Can Access do something like this, but syntax it differently?
