I want to be able to copy the data within a selected field and then place it into a fresh database is this easily done?
my second questions is i have several fields which need to be merged into one 'Address' field as currently i have data with Building Name, Number, Line1, Line2, Line3, County, Town, Country. This is required to be merged into one field how would i do this?
Not all fields have data is there a way to put a space between each of the current fields when merged as well?
I am working from an existing database which is just two table. The main table has a massive amount of redundancy and duplication and needs splitting into, at first glance, 5 tables.
After I have run my various make table queries and added a Primary Key and FK field to the new tables how do I populate the FK with the Parent PK.
I thought I could simply add all the fields from the new table and then create an adhoc join in an update query to populate the PK to the FK. When I do this however I get "You are about to update 0 records"
I have tried the table analyzer but it doesn't give the correct options to split the table the way I need.
I have a field that has a description of the project I'm working on, which has client information on it. I want to take all 600 of those records and copy them to fields in the same table, so that I can remove the client information, which will allow me to pull whichever of those two I need when I run a query.
I am using access 2007 and cannot seem to find in the field properties.I need to input data in one field in a table and it appears in a field within a different table.
I am looking to copy one exceptionally large table to another. I can use VBA to copy the entire Report2013.accdb to Report.accdb while compacting at the same time. This is very fast and works well. However once it's copied I need to rename the table tblReport2013 to tblReport. None of these table are in the accdb that I am running the scripts from FrontEnd.accdb. I am working very hard to keep the data tables under the 2 GB limit, which is why linking and keeping the data separate is necessary. There is the chance that Report2013 will be on the network while tblReport will be local to the user, and may or may not be a subset of the Report2013.
I have considered a number of options: DoCmd.Rename - I can't seem to tell it a database location
I could try docmd.copyobject - and see if it keeps the file size the same or smaller then the original.
I could just write the sql statement and copy the data that way, and compact the table afterwards. The trouble with doing the transfer that way is hitting the 2GB limit, before I can compact/compress the newly imported data.It just seems odd to have to find another solution when all I really want to to rename a table and ensure the new new is still linked as a separate table.
I am creating a database where I want to have a table that has references to another table.
I have an ID field in both that are linked. I want to be able to on creation of a new record in this new table have it grab the ID field from the other table.
I am trying to copy the data from one table into another table. I then wanted to update the table where it is copied from. This data i then wanted copied into that table in another row.
Hi: I am looking for some guidance in doing the following: I have a tableO that contains a list of objects that have associated attributes, specifically a list of system_names (object) and the associated attributes (additional fields in the table) that include port_name, port_direction. Think of each one of the records as a template that will supply data to another table, called the Instance table (tableI). The concept is that the user can populate the template with various objects and associated ports, and direction. The table cols are; PK|FK|system_name|port_name|port_direction|
The data for this table is manually entered via an associated form.
At some later time, the user want to make a copy of an object(e.g. a record in tableO) by populating Table I (the instance table). The first few fields of tableI are named identical to tableO. Table I contains additional fields that further refine the template, by adding a object_property field, and a port_direction_property field. Table I looks like: PK|FK|system_name|port_name|port_direction|prop1|p rop2
The forms interface allows the user to fill in the fields in the TableI (intance table) directly, or, lets the user scroll through the list of objects in the template table, and chose a template, copy the fields:system_name|port_name|port_direction into the same fields in table I, and then add values to prop1 and prop 2 manually.
I made the combo box control that will list the objects from the object column of the template table (table O) and make the desired selection. I have a radio button adjacent to the combo box that when clicked, will copy the selected record and designated fields from the template object table (tableO), into the same fields of the instance table (table I). The instance table is displayed on an adjacent form.
After the fields are copied to the instance table, the user can type in the data into the additional fields (e.g. prop_1, prop_2), and complete the record.
I do not know how I can do the 'copy' from tableO to table I when the radio button is pushed. I know to allow an action when the radiobutton is 'clicked'. Table O and tableI are not currently related.
Can you provide some guidance? Thanks a lot for your time J
I'm looking to include a button on a form that opens a new entry in another table and copies some field entries from the first table into the second table. I tried an append query, but it seems to be unable to be displayed in a form. I just want to copy data from one form to another. Thanks.
I have two identical access databases. I copied the master file to my desktop to work on it while someone else was in the shared file. I edited about a hundred rows in the Data Entry table (the records exist in both files), and now I want to copy those changes back over to the master file without messing up any of the other data. I'm not sure what the other people changed in the file, I just know what records I have that need to be copied over. Again, they exist in both files, I just want to overwrite the records in the other file with my updated records without affecting other data.
I have linked a SQL table to my ms access database. In order to view the SQL table as read-only and still be able to update the access table I have setup a form with a subform. I know it would be a dublication of data but is there a way thru code of copying the data on the subform to my access table. I was hoping I could put a button on the form that would copy this data. My idea is after the copy is done all the information I need will be in my access table. I'm new to this linking idea and am worried I will only have half the information I need if the link breaks etc. Thanks
I have a MS Access table containing Dependent social security numbers but some of the dependents social security numbers are blank.
I have a MS Sql Database that contains a table with most of the missing MS Access table dependents Social Security numbers.
How can I take the Dependents social security number from MS Sql Database and copy/update the MS Access table.
I tried the sql code below created from MS Access and it matches 453 records out of 460 dependent social security numbers but how do I update qryGHIAccuracyFile_MissingDepSSN.SSN with the social security number from dbo_depfile1.dep_depend_ssn
Code:
SELECT dbo_depfile1.dep_depend_ssn, qryGHIAccuracyFile_MissingDepSSN.SSN FROM qryGHIAccuracyFile_MissingDepSSN LEFT JOIN dbo_depfile1 ON qryGHIAccuracyFile_MissingDepSSN.MemberSSN = dbo_depfile1.dep_ss_nbr WHERE (((dbo_depfile1.dep_first)=[FirstName]) AND ((dbo_depfile1.dep_last)=[LastName]));
Updating MS Access table dependent blank SSNs with SSN in MS Sql Database.
Hello there, I'm having a problem very much like the one described by this user (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=113742&highlight=SQL+blank+spaces) where an SQL statement I am using to read data from one table and copy it to another is filling the remaining field space with blanks.
I didn't notice until a VBA module I worked on later on which was to read data from the new table and copy the selected record into a form said it could not find the records. The code:
Do Until blnFound = True Or rs.EOF 'DEBUG: answer = MsgBox("ok", vbYesNo) 'DEBUG: MsgBox rs("Account Name") If rs("Account Name") = strAName Then MsgBox "DEBUG: FOUND " & rs("Account Name") blnFound = True End If
rs.MoveNext Loop
The record selector just goes straight to EOF because rs("Account Name") never matches strAName (as strAname has all those damned spaces after the useful data).
I wondered if perhaps there was some way to use the code in the other thread to read the length of useful data and then chop off the garbage spaces afterwards, but I'm worried it would be incredibly slow when running through the thousands of records. Also, the field has legitimate spaces in between words (most of the account names are two or three words in length).
strASQL, strField and strValue are arrays and this SQL statement runs in a loop, as this is part of a search form for multiple possible entries. It all works fine except it always adds those damned spaces :D
has anyone had a problem with copying tables from one database to another -- it used to be so easy by just dragging from one database to another but in 2007 this isnt possible -- it seems to want to delete records rather than copy over - am i missing a setting to allow this?
There is one main policy table, and a collection of related tables that store information associated with each of the policies (coverage amounts, agents, etc). What I'm struggling with though is where they renew every so often (most times it's each year, but some go three or more years). Because I need the database to show everything EXACTLY as it was on each policy term, even expired ones, I don't want to just edit the existing records when policies renew; I need to create a copy of the ENTIRE record (across all related tables), but with a new PK, and the ability for users to change a few items, such as the policy number and effective dates.
There are two keys that I use to identify policies: one is the PK, which is an auto# that will need to change, and the other is a small text ID set when the policy is first issued, in order to make sure that even when policy numbers change from year to year, we can always track the history, so of course that one will need to remain the same. If I have the user click a "Renew" button on the policy view form that goes to a small form that takes what changes I want to allow and converts those into variables, could I then use those variables in a query, and have it copy all of these related records, with the other tables taking the new PK from the main table to keep the overall policy record linked?
im creating a fault logging databse, i have a form that shows all the "machines" details, (including its previous faults in a subform) i have another form for inputting new faults. what i want to be able to do is when you click on the "log new fault" the form will open up with some of the same details as the machine i was just looking at. e.g. it will auto copy over the "machine number" and "machine serial" thanks
I have a psychology project where we soon use a questionnaire on a daily basis (maybe 80 variables per day per subject). Currently, there is no data in the database.
I've managed to create a table called day1 (with 80 day1 variables) and a form that looks like the questionnaire we want to use (and linked apropriately to the variables in the table for day1).
What is an easy way of duplicating the table and form for successive days? That is, i want the structure of the day1 table copied to another table (call it day2). It has exactly the same variables except they are slightly different to differentiate them from day1. I would like the form for day2 to have exactly the same layout as the form for day1, but link to the variables in table 2.
I know i could just couple the day1 table, change the variable names slightly, and then copy the form for day1 and change the links to point to table2, but there are many assessments (18 days).
I have already asked this question before, but only one person responded, and it was not what I was looking for.
I would like to create a code that takes(copies) each record's data from a field and paste it into another existing field within the same table. I have about 2000 records... Your help will be highly appreciated.
It will have to be a VBA code or macro because I have to alter the strings that are copied before they are pasted into the other field.
Hello All, Does anybody know a away of copying access data into other applications without the header row. An example being if you copy access data into excel it includes the header row in the spreadsheet. I often have to copy access data into industrial application software but usually paste into excel first (to get rid of the header rows) then from excel into the application. I would like to eliminate this step if I could but not sure how to copy without the header row.
I have a form on which I have asubform. This form is based on a query. I would like the user to be able to add/and update information from excel to this form. When I try to copy from Excel and paste them or try to overwrite the eisting data, I get the following error: " You cannot add or change a record because a realted record is required in tabel "benchmark".
Can anybody tell me how to fix this? thank u.. Stacey
i have a form THE OREDER FORM and on it there is a subform that stores a list of codes and corresponding products for a particular order.
Now what happens is that sometimes ORDERS have the same product codes, so what I wish is to see if it is possible in same way or another to copy the data on the subform to create the next record as the previous one, and thus avoiding re-choosing all the products.
This is surely just going to be a simple dim statement or code.I have 2 forms, one is plancontrol and the other is contacts. The plancontrolform holds a record of contacts for different forms - the contacts form is merely a seperate form to choose which contacts you want to add. (it was to messy keeping it all on one)The contacts form uses cascading combo boxes to choose a contacts. This all works fine but after a contact has been chosen, i want to (through a command button) add it to a viewable list. Once the user has selected all the contacts they want they can close the contacts form. The names will be automatically entered into the plancontrol form. This is not my normal type of database as it is linked to Otulook, therefore some of the rules i abide by i cannot!!Any ideas? Should i (and how do i) keep adding the names to plancontrol as i go along, or just do it all in one go at the end? p.s. plan control is a continous form.thanksKev
I have an invoice set in a lovely form using Microsoft Access. Each of the invoice there is an option on the top called Paid, ones I check the paid it will stamp it as paid, how do I make it such as, it will copy the paid ONLY record into a summary cheat, which is a report? It have to be copied into a table of course, but I want to copy from the entire invoice which include
Invoice numer, data, name, addres,s blah blah, all I want to be copied is just the number, the name and the total balance and I want that information only to be copied into the table by clicking the Paid check on the form. My other question, how do I delete THAT PERTICULAR record that was copied from the invoice into the new table? Thanks in advance.
Please if possible? Could you explain it as easy as possible with me with as much as examples and easy to read? I am a little slow, thanks. I thank you all again for your help in advance.
We have saved image in the database as OLE Object. It is showing “Microsoft Photo Editor 3.0 Photo / Package” in the table. We want to save these pictures as external file in Jpeg format. Please help us to solve this problem.
