I've got a problem I can don't know how to solve (since I'm a complete access noob). I've got an acces table that is populated with around 1000 entires, all starting with letter N, followed by numbers. Then I've got another table from last year which is also populated with 1000+ N entries AND 1000 V entries.
I would like to trasnfer/copy all V entires from last year table into this year table. I'm sure this is possible but I don't know how. In short, I would like to copy 1000 rows of last year data into this year table/data. What's the easiest way (if there is any)?
I'm able to import new data from excel just fine, but I can't import updated data from excel due to duplicates not being allowed for a particular field. Is there a way to keep from importing duplicate records based on one field, but still import data from other fields where the information is different from the excel file?
I'm looking to import huge excel sheets in access, but normalization process in Access has forced me to divide all the columns in Excel to about 12 tables in MS Access.
How how could I import data from excel sheet columns to 12 different tables?
I would like to import excel sheet that contains about 45 fields and the fields names are not well defined(not obey the Access rules). I would like to import the sheet into ms access without changing the excel sheet because i have to provide only the interface to users where they have to import sheets only. (All the time In Excel fields name are arranged and in specific order but invalid names of fields).
After 1 week the person has new excel sheet with same format and the process of importing data into ms access will be continue for whole year or more.
I have 12,000 cvs that i need to get into An access database so i can start to extract email info etc. They are stored in one folder All Cvs under each of their names edc.txt (i have converted them to .txt) i want to create one table with two fields name (taken from the cv filename and contents (taken fromthe contents of the .txt file). I am using Access 2007.
I have a table (tbl Team Info) which contains names and codes for teams within my business (>400 records) and another table (tbl Process) which contains a list of high level tasks (30 records).
I need to create something where for each team name 9in tbl Team Info) I can map them to the tasks that they undertake (in tbl Process) and assign a percentage of time then spend on each task. Each team could map to several different tasks.
I have three tables. I want to combine all the records in these tables into one table. I need VBA code to do this. The first table is called down1, the second table is called down2 and the third table is called down3. All these tables contain the same fields so I don't think combining them will be a problem.
I have this table "tblPreventativeMaintenance" which calculates when the next appointment for service. Stored in the field "NextDueService". I have three fields in this table. "SerialNumber", "NextDueService" & "Engineer'sReport".The whole purpose of the table above is to do the calculations.Now the results of the calculations I need them to go into another table "tblInstallations" so I can use it to show Next Due Service when there is a call out in regards to certain ready installed equipment. I have same fields in both tables.I tried update query but for some reason it didn't work or at least wasn't giving me the results I needed from it.
I'm working on a system for recording employee information, leave details, etc. I need to run a monthly update to increment each employees leave balance.
The two tables now in question are;
Employees - relevant fields are EmployeeID (key), Active (Boolean) and Leave (Numeric) [annual leave entitlement - eg 15 days]
The second table is LeaveTrans; Emprec, LDate, LType, PrevBal, ThisLeave, NewBal, Comments.
What I need to achieve;
For each "Active" record in the employee table, detirmine the monthly leave entitlement ("Leave" /12 - no problem here).
Append a new record to the LeaveTrans table with;
Emprec, LDate (Date of the update), LType (="Monthly allocation"), PrevBal (The NewBal from the last record in the table for this employee), ThisLeave (monthly allocation) and NewBal (PrevBal + ThisLeave)
I will need to access the last record for this employee to get the previous NewBal, before appending the new record.
The problem I'm having is appending to the LeaveTrans table, and then moving on to the next record in the Employee table, to repeat the process.
I want to relate two records in one table, a parent child relationship. I can accomplish this task with two tables I realize. I'm wanting to write a database that will map a family tree. Internal to one table I want to be able to establish a series of relationships, parent-child, sibling, et cetra. Can this be done?
What I would like to do is have about 10 users fill out an Options Group in another table (tblVote, [field Vote]) while referencing specific records in another table (tblRequests, [field ID]).
The part I can't wrap my head around, which is probably fundamental, is linking the (tblVote, [field Vote]) to (tblRequests, [field ID]). The field ID in tblRequests needs to have up to 10 separate "votes" in tblVote.
Need help. I need to add records from one Access DB (on the floppy disc) table to the another Access DB table. Same table name, same columns number and names. Just import records to add to the existing records. I am not a programmer, please explain as easy as possible. Respect and thanks. Frederico
Dear all, I have a question regarding record importing in access 2003. I have two tables, 50,000 records on table 1 and 65,000 records in table 2 respectively.
All I want to do is to import all the records from table 2 into table 1. Hence creating only one table. Currently I am copying and pasting records from table2 into table1. As you might have figured out by now it is a pain taking process as there are alot of records to deal with.
I have tried using unmatched query option after creating table3. I thought I'll import records from table1 and 2 into one table3 but that didnt work either.
Do you have any idea how can I import records from one table to another?
The Table 1and2 both have same field names (just a thought to mention this).
Any suggestions / solutions will be greatly appreciated.
I developed an access2003 program and I made .mde file from it. It works fine and no one can access the tables. BUT when the user creates a new DB in Access and imports from my file then he can have all the tables.
I have a table with at least 13.000.000 records. There are many duplicates records... For example
ID Name Family mobile car number chassis Register_Year 1 Roy Jalbout 9999 123456/G ASF4546 2005 2 Roy Jalbout 9999 854658/G GRK554JFJD 2009 3 Tony Elishah 1234 854658/G GRK554JFJD 2012 4 Sam Markos 5478 854658/G GRK554JFJD 2014 5 Roy Jalbout 9999 123456/G ASF4546 2005
As you can see ID Number 2,3,4 have the same car but every one bought from another so it's not duplicates
The duplicates here is the ID's number 1,5. So how to remove the duplicates. I remember you i have at least 13.000.000 records. I try to make a query to find duplicates then i make a copy of the original table and than i should make a primary key then append the data from the original table to the copy table, but here i have more than one criteria
When I made a query to find duplicates the result was 680.000 records and every one have a minimum 2 duplicates an maximum 4 duplicates so it's about 2.500.000 duplicates records at least....
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.
I am creating a task tracker where the user will enter a task which is working. If he is complete the task at that moment he will submit the task and everything is done for that task. However, if there is some issue or if the user need any information, then the user will enter a comment and will hit hold. My queryis once the user hits hold button, the table "Main" will capture the hold date and time. I need a second table, may be by name "Inbox" which will only show records kept on hold.
Secondly there should be hyperlink for "ID" of Hold records in table "Inbox" and when the user click on the the "ID" to resume the task, it should take the user to "Main" form and display that particular record (record which the user had clicked). Also, the date and time should be recorded when the user click on the hyperlink in Resume_Date and Resume_Time fields for that record.
I have a form to enter new records in a table.But when user enter empty record i want to display a validation text to to fill the required.I tried this code.
If txtItems="" then msgbox("please fill the required fields") else code to insert the records. end if
with this code its accepting the blank record also.What is the correct code?
Is there any way other than through coding/controls I can lock specific records in a table.
I have a reference table with less than 200 records on it. 5 and only 5 records need to be locked so that they primarily can not be deleted but also so they can't be edited.
I've read about locking it at form level but that, to me, means some sort of coding.
I am working on automating a rebates system we have here in access. I need to figure out a way to get access 2000 to automaticly delete some tables and then import new ones at the begining of each month. I am very desprate right now so any help would be greatly apreciated.
