Tables :: Adding Records To Existing Table

May 19, 2014

What I have is a database that I have done some tweaking on and in the meantime the original db has been in use which has added around 200 or so more records in the table.

What I would like to do is to just update the db that I have been working on with the older db table(the one who has the additional 200 records).

EX. DB A(Old DB, Newer Table) DB B(New DB, Older Table)

I want to put DB A table into DB B

Is this a simple fix? Or do I need to write some sort of query to update the records in the old table? I've tried to export the excel file and then import but it puts it in unrelated objects and then my switchboard or nothing works.

Tables :: Adding Many To Many Relationships To Existing Table

Sep 13, 2012

I have 3 tables

tblProductInfo
- ProductID
- ProductItemNumber
- JDEDescription

tblFacility
- FacilityID
- FacilityDescription

tblProductFacilityMM
- ProductToFacilityID
- ProductIDFK (combined with FacilityIDFK to make a PK)
- FacilityIDFK

As I'm writing this out, I am realizing that tlbProductFacilityMM.producttoFacilityID is probably not necessary, but that I don't expect that to have much significance to the issue. So I've setup a query between the two tables:

Code:
SELECT tblProductInfo.ProductID, tblProductInfo.ItemNumber, tblProductInfo.JDEDescription, tblProductFacilityMM.FacilityIDFK, tblFacility.FacilityDescription
FROM tblFacility INNER JOIN (tblProductInfo INNER JOIN tblProductFacilityMM ON tblProductInfo.ProductID = tblProductFacilityMM.ProductIDFK) ON tblFacility.FacilityID = tblProductFacilityMM.FacilityIDFK;

And used it to create my subform which is simply a drop down box for tblProductFacilityMM.FacilityIDFK. My main form is one that has already been in use for 6 months or so, it is based off the tblproductinfo table and needs to have the option to select multiple Facilities for each ProductID. I inserted the subform, but when I try to select a facility I get an error that reads:

Quote: Cannot Join Records; Join key of tblProductFacilityMM not in recordset.

Tables :: How To Not Allow A New Record To Have Similar Values As Existing One

Jul 29, 2015

I am having an issue with duplicates in my table. I have a table, called "Part Mods", that has about 12 fields in it. the first 2 of them are "Mod" and "Part Number". I have a form where someone can insert data into this table and what i want is for them to NOT be able to insert a record with the same Mod/Part Number combination of an already existing record. I have "indexed" turned on but I am pretty sure that is for every field.

Tables :: Replacing Existing Field By Lookup Value

Feb 23, 2013

I'm building a database to calculate yearly fees for customers. I have a list coming from our accountancy-database that shows a field with the clients name & surname combined and I have a table named 'customers' that contains the clients names & surnames as separate values.

The first table (let's name it "accountancy") thus contains a field "Customer". Example data in this field:

"John McLane"
"John Doe"
"Marcy Free"
"Zino Withers"

The second table ("customers") contains the fields "ID, name, surname". Example data in this table:

1;"John";"Doe"
2;"Marcy";"Free"
3;"John";"McLane"

Now, what I'm looking for is a way to replace the 'Customer'-field in the first table by a lookup field that contains the correct ID for that customer in the 'Customers'-table.

Lucky thing: there are no doubles in the customer's table, so no two customers have the same name AND surname.

Importing Data From A Spreadsheet To Existing Multiple Tables

May 30, 2006

First off, its been a long time since I have been here (since sometime in 2003 LOL), partly because I didn't have to create a new db in a while. Now, I have been handed a project and come across something new.

OK, here is what I want to do. I would like to be able to dump data from an Excel file into existing Access tables (two to be more specific). Now, I also have relating tables that add data into certain fields. I tried using a query to try to group data ad hopeful able to dump data through the query. I noticed that I couldn't import data through a query. Just for kicks, I tried to pull data through table and noticed that I can only create a new table, not able to update and existing table.

How would I go about performing this task? I have never attempted anything in the past.

Thank you in advance for your considered help,

Steve

Tables :: Updating Blank Fields For Existing Records

Oct 9, 2014

I am in the process of building Append Queries for new records, and I know I can do an Update Query to enter specific information. However, how can I update multiple records from a (externally sourced) linked table to fill in blanks of an existing table? I have created a query to identify records with 1 or more matching criteria which contain the blank fields. I now want to update those blank fields. The data in each blank field is different for each record (same type, just different data).

Tables :: Creating Table Within Existing Database Using SQL Commands

Apr 8, 2015

I was asked to create a table within an existing database using these SQL commands;

CREATE TABLE Vehicle (reg_no TEXT(10)
CONSTRAINT VehicleKey PRIMARY KEY,
type TEXT(10),
purchase_date DATETIME,
last_service_date DATETIME, mileage_at_last_service INTEGER);

I was told to save the query and check the new table had the required records in it.

I had huge problems when I tried to save the query and kept getting error messages like: "query must have at least one destination field" and "syntax error in field destination". This was strange since I was sure I typed the query exactly as it had been written on the worksheet.

Having not changed the SQL command at all it eventually worked when I skipped the 'save query" stage and just went to the "run query" stage. I still don't know why it actually worked in the end and why I kept getting error messages.By running the query am I supposed to just click on "RUN" or can I check the information first by looking at datasheet view?

Queries :: Updating / Adding New Records To Existing Tables

Jul 29, 2014

I have a table with more than 60 fields and need to update it with records from another Access file with a table with an identical data structure.

Is it better to run an update query or an append query (i would have to delete the original records in the target table first) or a union query?

If I run an update query I will have to manually add each field to the query.

The update query will not add 'new' records. If I run an append it is quicker because I can use the * to match all fields, but i will have to delete the 'old' records first, as both tables use autonumber for the PK so the PK ID will be the same in each table (will get a key violation error).

If I import the 'new' table and run a union query it will match the fields and add the new records, but then i will have to create new table from that query.

Tables :: Import From Excel And Append To Existing Table

Apr 7, 2015

I am trying to import from Excel and append to an existing table. My excel sheet is named tblStatus and I am trying to append it to my Access table "tblStatus".

I get an error message that says "The first row contains some data that can't be used for valid Access Field Names. In these cases, the wizard will automatically assign valid field names." (I used the excel sheet to set up my table.) After I click OK, I get to the point where I can click finish, and I get a "Subscript out of range" error.

MY row headers are:
strOrderOps
strOrderNo
strOperation
strOrderType
dtmBasicStartDate
dtmActualFinishDate
dtmCalFinishDate
strStatus

I am not sure what is going on.

Tables :: Import To Existing Table (Type Conversion Failure)

Dec 12, 2012

I need to import an excel spreadsheet into an existing Access 2003 table. Due to regulations, the spreadsheet cannot be linked.

When I try to import the spreadsheet, I receive a 'Type Conversion Failure' associated with a 'Product ID' field. In the Excel file, this column is populated with two types of values-- either a 9 digit number, or a 9 digit alpha numeric value. The 9 digit numbers import correctly, but the alpha numeric values fail.

Field names/layout in the excel spreadsheet are identical to the Access table, and the field type in the existing Access table is set to 'text.' There is no set Format, or Input Mask.

What I could change with the existing table to make this import work? I'd like to avoid importing a new table, as this would force me to recreate a number of relationships after each import.

Qry On 2 Tables Using ~15 Check Boxes In Each Table

Nov 4, 2007

I have 2 tabels, Docs and People
Each table has about 15 check boxes to further specify the doc/user.
-in tblDocs which groups of users this document is intended for and
-in tblPeople which document the user should be trained in and a tickbox if training has been completed.

e.g. if tblDocs chkA is ticked then all people that have there chkA ticked should be trained in that procedure, if tblDocs chkS and chkE are ticked, all people that have either chkA or chkB in tblPersons ticked must be trained.

What I'm looking for is a query that can can check this on a form.

I know how to set it up so that all values from a form with all details of a person are transferred into a query, but I just cannot work out how I then check the tblDocs for documents that do NOT have the corresponding boxes ticked. In other words, I'd like to see if people have been trained in all documents they should have been trained in.

I have no idea how to handle that.

Auto Fill In And Check Data From Other Tables

Mar 15, 2007

I am new to Access, and I need some help for this project I am working on. Please let me know if my question doesn't make sense.

I have created four tables: Clients, Tenants, Property, Contract


Clients
Client ID | Client Name |

Tenants
Tenants ID | Property ID | First Name | Last Name

Property
Property ID | Client Name | Contract ID

Contract
Contract ID | Clients ID | Client Name | Tenant ID | Tenant Name |Property ID |

Is there a way that when I enter Client Name in the Contract table, Client ID would automatically come up and check against other fields in the table if the information entered in Contract table is in sync and relevant against to data entered in Client, Tenants, and Property table?

Please let me know if this is not clear and I need explain more. Thank you.
