I have imported 3 different excel worksheets into Access. I then created a query in which I made some relationships and select the fields that I need to make a new table. The problem is, when I run the table the final product is missing about 20,000 rows of data. I have used this protocol successfully for other other files, but for some reason, with this dataset Access is pasting 10,000 rows into the new table, where the original file has 39,000.
What is the best way to do this without losing data? I have several FK that I made the mistake of setting up as lookup fields. I now want to correct this without losing data if possible.
DataType currently says "Number" under each of these. So I can't just change them to number. Is there another way to do this?
Here i have a situation i have a table where like below
Name | orderno | mail no | contact No | --------------------------------------- a |123 |5555 | 553453 | b |321 |8569 | 52353 | a |123 |2344 | 553453 | c |143 |567 | 553453 | d |173 |6787865| 553453 |
But i need a separate table where the entry of all the entries where a is coming only once.
My company had an Access db created back in 2002 in order to create file names (Legal Labeler). The db consists of many reference tables (Figure 1). The person who created the db created a form to use in order to create the file name and labels. As you can see there are various drop downs where the end user can choose which information to include. I do not think that the tables are linked. Once the end user fills in the form they click Save Label Data and the data is written to a master table (Table tblLevelOneSubject).
One of the problems we are having is that records in any one of the extraneous tables (Company Name, SubCatetory, SubCategories L1/L2, etc.) just disappear. For example, in Figure 3, we have all the entries for the drop down labeled SubCategory (A codes are depicted) but, for some reason, we are randomly missing some of the codes (typically all the A codes and B codes); however, nothing from the master table is missing (that is why I do not believe they are linked).
Another major issue we are running into is in the table named tblLevelFiveSubCatTwo (SubCategory L2 on the form) (Figure 4), which is an auto-numbered table, we are also losing records (as you can see it table starts at 7). When I created a file last week I needed to create a new entry in the drop down SubCategory L2 and it was auto-numbered 8 when it should have been 734. Also, the table shows that there are only 697 records but if we are auto-numbering there should be 734 records. Therefore, we are losing records in this table as well.
Is there any way we can secure the tables so this does not happen in the future? When I export the data into Excel it looks as though all of the data is accounted for - it is just missing in the reference tables.
I've got a table of associate directors "t_ADnames" and want to build separate tables for each AD name that pulls a pass through query from our data warehouse. I'm thinking it's got to be done with a macro somehow? So it would run pass_query where AD name = "John" and insert into t_john, then it would check the next name in t_ADnames and run the same query for say "Mark" and insert all his data into t_mark and so on until the list (of about 12 people) has been completed.
I've developing a little Project and have some issues after splitting a db.
I have some forms in wich I want to see some tables with the "+" sign on the rows so I can go to their linked tables. The problem that I have is that everything works perfect until I split the access file.
I've inherited a data base which has the address details of our members spread across multi fields i.e. Add 1, Add2, Add 3, Post town, Post code etc.
Not all the fields contain information which means when I do a mail merge for address labels there are blank lines.
I would like to either be able to create a single field in the table (like a memo field for example) which contains all the address detail, or create a mail merge without blank lines.
I have two tables containing data from two separate sources. The unique "link" between the two is a JobNumber field. I need to set up a relationship between the two tables using the JobNumber field.
Problem:
In one table, the JobNumber has been input in this format: 12-00345-01 In 2nd table, the JobNumber has been input in this format: 12-00345-1
How can I tie these when the 2nd table is missing the "0"?
I am trying to merge data from multiple rows into one row for each unique ID. I can replicate on how to do this on a table, maybe a query or something like that. Attached img shows
I have a form and subform. Clicking a record in the subform displays the details of that record in the main form. The form is used for editing, adding and deleting data for a given person's sales record and the subform displays a full list of all records for that person.
When I edit a person's record, using the main form, and click on a button to run the code:
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
I can go into the underlying table and see the changes. I can also refresh the subform and see the changes.
However, the next time I click on any of the records in the subform, the value in one of the fields vanishes from both the subform and the table. Any other changes made, to however many fields, remain.
Surely, if there's a problem with that field, the update shouldn't happen at all?
I've got a table which lists accounts with an associated charge. If the account has multiple charges, then the account appears multiple times, for each charge. I'd like to consolidate the duplicates without losing each charge that is associated with the account.
Still not sure how to do this, after I convert my database and create an mde file few changes might accrue in the future, I have tried to make some changes for testing purpose and then create a new mde file and saved it with replacing the older one but I had lost my new data which was entered in the old mde file?
Q: how can I make the new change on my original file and not lose my new data in my mde file.
I have three tables, with the following data (fields separated by "-" here): Unit - Customer Number - Customer Name - Type of A/R - Total A/R Unit - Customer Number - Customer Name - Type of A/R - Total Overdue Unit - Customer Number - Customer Name - Type of A/R - > 90 Day Balance
I would like to combine these tables into one table with the following field names: Unit - Customer Number - Customer Name - Type of A/R - Balance
When I append the data, it comes out like this: Unit - Customer Number - Customer Name - Type of A/R - Total A/R - Type of A/R - Total Overdue - Type of A/R - > 90 Day Balance
I would like this new table to include all rows from the original tables, sandwiched on top of each other. As far as I can work it, the Append Query only adds the data as add'l columns; not as add'l rows. I tried changing the field names entirely, so that the final field in each table is called "Balance." However, I still get the same result as above - the columns are added, instead of rows. I swear there's a way to do this, I just can't remember it!
I am using following code to copy low value from Access table to excel file, but only to find that it changed in excel file. How should I do to not change that?
ThisWorkbook.Sheets("EV Data").Cells(row + 2, col + 2) = _ rs.Fields(col).Value
I have an Access2007/SQL Server 2012 system with 20 users for an insurance company. The company does most of its business via a network of vehicle dealers around the country. If someone comes in to buy a motorcycle, boat, or recreational vehicle at a dealership they need insurance to take it home, and our dealers send the quotes to us.
The dealers, in turn, receive payment from us each month for their efforts. Some are paid a % commission on the premium, some are paid for each quote they send regardless of whether the policy actually sells or not, and some are paid a set amount per sold policy. (Yes, that is relevant information!)
We already have reports that tally the amounts due each dealer based on their payment scheme, but last month our bookkeeper had to write about 650 checks manually because the check writing is not automated. She'd look at the report, and then enter name, address, and amount (in digits and words) into Quick Books and print the checks from there, a horribly tedious process. I've been asked to print the checks from Access. Basically one click would print all 650 checks.
I've opted to use a Make Table query to move the commissioned dealers amounts to a single location, and then to run two append queries to add the records from those paid per quote and those paid per policy. At the end of the day, one table contains all the information necessary to print the checks...except one.
The check number.
I need a way to sequentially number each record in the new table with a user generated starting point, the first check number.
By the way, the check blanks are on standard letter sized paper, three to a page, with tear-off perforations to separate them, in case that information has any relevance.
I think the best way to accomplish this is from the report itself. I've created a blank field on each record for the check number, and what seems most logical is that the sequential number is generated on print and written back to the table, rather than just generating all the numbers at once. That way, should print ever be interrupted, it will be easy to take up where we left off.
I have been asked to design a database to replace our old excel sheet to log one of our customers server builds. It a four noded system and i require a seperate log for each node serial models of parts etc, qa checks.
I intitial started by just using one table but forgot the limit was 255 rows, i need about 600 - 700. So my plan is now to transfer to indivial table for each node. Then, a general table named Main for all my other details.
Although this seems simple, i now have the annoying task of being able to link them all together and produce a single PDF file to send to our customer whilst only entering our system serial number once to produce this.
My basic understanding will be to create a System Serial Number field in each table a link it via relationships, but if i produce a report with everything i need would it input my details for all four nodes? If so how would i set this up?
I will be splitting the database once completed and then making a ACCDE file for my techs to use.
I'm creating a database for a home builder to track a lot of info, but mainly: house info, prospect info, actual customer info, and contract info.
My main tables are: tblCustomers CustID PK (a bunch of customer fields)
tblHouses HouseID PK (a bunch of house fields)
tblContracts ContractID PK CustID FK HouseID FK (a bunch of contract fields)
The releationships are as follows: One house can have many contracts One customer can have many contracts
I thought I could use one table, tblCustomers, to track the prospect info and actual customer info, as so much of it will be identical (technically someone should be entered as a prospect before they can be a customer, and all info will be the same for both except for extra information fields for prospects, but I always want to be able to refer back to those fields) and I would know a prospect became an actual customer because at least one contract in the tblContracts would have their CustID associated with it.
Is it acceptable to have two foreign keys in tblContracts? And am I missing something that should exist between House and Customer? House and Customer are only releated when there is a Contract, so it is implied (I think) that a Customer can be associated with many different houses through many different contracts. Is that the right way to look at it?
I've come up against a wall regarding linking two forms so that the second form displays the data associated with what was showing on the first form. If I'm good here with the tables I suppose I'll post my detailed question in the forms area.
I want to comine the following queries into one so that I can alter the parameters from a webpage.
I have a users table that has the department in and I have a TimeTable Table which has dates and option codes.
I need to select everybody in a department in the example it's Logistics. I then want to link these people to the timeTable Table based upon a field. The problen is that I want to select only a specific week. I can do this using two queries but that isn't going to work in ASP.
The Results should be as follows:
Person Date Option A B 01/10/2005 1 B 02/10/2005 2 C 01/10/2005 1
The two Queries look as follows:
SELECT TimeTable.* FROM TimeTable WHERE (((TimeTable.Date)>=#10/24/2005# And (TimeTable.Date)<=#10/30/2005#));
The above is then saved as Query1
SELECT Users.*, Query1.*, Query1.TimeOfDay, Query1.Date FROM Query1 RIGHT JOIN Users ON Query1.UserID = Users.ID WHERE (((Users.Department)="Logistics")) ORDER BY Users.Surname, Users.Firstname, Query1.TimeOfDay, Query1.Date;
Hi there, i have a database i am setting up with 4 tables and am trying to think of the best way to input new data into it. All the tables are linked and its all based on printers. When a new printer is brought if it exists in the database then thats cool it just needs a Printer number assigned to it and the database will do the rest looking up printer model and what cartridges it requires. But if u add a model for a HP printer for example you need to add the model number to the tblink and create new cartridges and use the cartid to link the modelID i hope u get the picture!? lol there is a pdf i have created using onenote with screen dumps and comments about what i need it to do. If anyone has some advice or help it would be very greatful! Thanx mike
I am attempting to set up a saved import procedure in an Access database that will be run programmatically using docmd.RunSavedImportExport. The source document is an Excel file.My goal is to trap any import errors caused by inconsistencies in the source data. I'd also like to provide the user with some small amount of feedback on what is causing these errors.
My initial thought was to make use of the "File_ImportErrors" table that is generated following an unsuccessful import. *Not once* has this import procedure consistently generated an error table - sometimes the table is created, sometimes it isn't.
I have tried changing the file format of the import file to comma- and tab-delimited files, respectively. Both of these formats do consistently generate an error table, however none of the error values in the table are accurate - it reports a slew of type conversion errors for fields that are completely consistent and unproblematic, whilst completely overlooking conspicuous errors from text strings in date fields.
I have tried the same import, both procedurally and manually, using all available Excel and text-delimited formats, with the same respective results.I notice that nearly every thread on AWF pertaining to error tables discusses how to delete them, rather than make effective use of them. I suspect this is perhaps why?
I've been doing some reading on multivalue fields and it seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. My question: Is there a way to use the multivalue field without making it a lookup? I need the user to be able to put multiple values in a field but can't limit them to a list. The field that needs multiple values happens to be for SKU numbers from a large department store franchise.
One work around I've come up with is to have a pop up that asks for the separate sku numbers so they can be used for the value list each time, but then the user also would have to select those from the value list in order to enter it.... too many end user steps.
I want to avoid making 10-15 different fields each for SKU number, Item, and cost... I also need to avoid having to populate my db with the department store's full list of products...
Im trying to create a database to track who worked on what item and on what date, with four tasks required to complete the item.To give an example:I have a factory that builds Lego models, for each model there are four steps:
1)Unbox Parts 2)Sort Parts 3)Build 4)Check build
Any employee can work on any task, and multiple tasks can be done by the same employee.Having a completed item table with a field for each task, and a date for each task, with one to many relationships from employee id to each task type. This failed as I needed many to many, so I made a junction table to link them, and this is where I get a little muddled.
Do I need a table of task types, then a table tracking each task to feed into the item table, or is there a simple solution I'm overlooking?
Some days ago I made it by using "query", but now I forget it how I make the relation on this situation. Here is my problem.I have 3 Table on mdb file, named Table: A, B, Status.Table Status have One Filed with 1 Data: Dishonor
Table A have three fields
Sl Number: (Auto Number) Status: Lookup wizard-data of (Table-Status)-Default Value is "Honor" Amount:Number
Table B have two Fileds Sl Number: Number Status: Lookup wizard-data of (Table-Status)
After Entering Some data on Table A it's Look like as:
Asl numberstatusamount 1Honor5222 2Honor855 3Honor988 4Honor7777 5Honor777 6Honor9999
[code]...
Now I want to change the Status of SL Number Honor to Dishonor so I fillup data on Table B is as like following
sl numberstatus 5Dishonor
Now how I can get the result as following by using query:sl numberstatusamount 1Honor5222 2Honor855 3Honor988 4Honor7777 5Dishonor777 6Honor9999 7Honor6666 8Honor7777 9Honor666
I have three tables: Vehicles; Vehicle Reallocated; and Vehicles Retired. I have a form that runs a query to find all the info in the Vehicles tbl that is not "Retired", not visible in the form. I then have the option to toggle to a Reallocated or Retired form. When i toggle to the reallocated form, i have the like fields in that table (ie Van #, Vin, Make etc) pulling the info from the hidden subform with the vehicle query, so i do not need to fill in repeat data. However, when i add a reallocated date and the new clinic that vehicle is for, i get the record ID for the vehicle reallocated table as expected, but when i save none of the data moved over from the query saves in the record?
How to get all the data on the reallocated form to save?
