Tables :: New People Added In Table1 Not Showing Up In Other Tables Despite Relationship
May 5, 2013
I have 3 tables.
Table 1: contains staff names and contact numbers
Table 2: contains training above staff have been on or need to go on
Table 3: contains pc and printer asset numbers of above staff
I used a form and entered some new members of staff in table 1. They got their auto numbers etc but when I open table 2 and table 3 those new members are not showing up in those tables. I have checked the relationship status between the 3 tables and the staffID from Table 1 is associated to table 2 and to table 3.
What's stopping the new entries from showing up in tables 2 and 3 ?
I'm wondering why the relationship interface is still missing many tools that perform the work more efficiently. The interface misses the following (comparing with what we have in the ArcGIS software)
1. Pan tool 2. Zoom in/out too 3. Zoom all tool 4. Automatic arrangement
Table 1 (StaffID) - contains all personal details in the form of forename + surname + position + email + contact numbers ect. Each field/person has an autonumber.
Table 2 (StaffTrainingID) - contains all mandatory training/lectures (18 fields in total). I don't wish to list each staff member again in table 2 so have put a StaffID field in (data type is number).
However, when I try to type in the StaffID number in that field so I can link that person to the relevant training he/she has taken, Access won't allow it.
I have two tables of data, each relating to three business branches (branches A, B and C).
Table 1 shows the expenditure of each branch (by fuel, premises and wages).
Table 2 shows a number of units for each branch (mileage, floorspace and sales).
What I would like to do is calculate unit costs, based on the expenditure in Table 1, divided by a relevant unit in Table 2. The catch is that I want to have a third table which allows the user to specify which expenditure (from Table 1) is combined with which unit (from Table 2) to generate the calculated unit costs. I've been able to do this in Excel, and have attached an example. I've also attached an incomplete Access version with the first two tables. Given the complexity of my actual data, I feel this could be better handled in Access than Excel.
I have researched the 'party' data model but it is a bit too complex for what I'm seeking. For those familiar with it, I don't really need the intermediary relationship from-to tables.
I'm interested in ideas about setting up a data structure that will allow users to search contacts or select contacts in dropdowns regardless if the contact type is a person or an organization.
Obviously the fields needed for both are different and the biggest issue is the name field because the person contacts are
The way I am accomplishing it now is writing the company name, or "first name " & "last name" for a person, to kind of a bridge table when a new record is inserted into the person table or the organization table...kind of inefficient.
Is this a relationship thing or should I just write a function to create a temporary recordset when needed?
I've only just started using Access 2007 at my new job. I've been asked to create a database that will show appointments for all 10 of the employees. I have created a table for the main schedule (where ill put all the data) then one for each of the employees. I've managed to link the tables no problem but it wont let me create and updating relationship. It keeps saying "no unique index found for the referenced field of the primary table". How do I fix this?
I want it to automatically update the date, time, location, customer name and description, if its changed on the main schedule for a certain appointment on the corresponding employees schedule.
I created two tables, but i don't know what kind of relationship i should create.
In the first table, i would like to put all different tests (medical tests, such as EMG test, and so on), in the second table, i want to add the settingup for each test, say, recording site, stimulating site et.al, then i want to use one form to populate data into these two tables, what should i do?
I am trying to define a relationship between tables. However, the unique nature of my data doesn't seem to be allowing typical relationships. I am not sure if I need to somehow create a relationship (junction table?) or just keep things as they are. Do I need a Foreign Key? FYI, I am only querying the data - no updates.
I have two tables that I am able to join by using a field in Table1 tied to a portion of a field in Table2. No other columns in either table can reliably relate the two tables. For example:
Table1.ColA has a 5 character string. Table2.ColA has a 10 character string.
I need to match Table1.ColA to Table2.ColA where the first five characters in Table2.ColA match Table1.ColA.
This match, produces 1 to Many results (for every Table1.ColA string, there are 1 to many Table2.ColA records that match.
IMPORTANT FACTORS: - Table1 contains data at a SYSTEM level. - Table2 contains the parts that make up the "SYSTEM" in Table1 - The PARTS in Table2 can be in 1 to many SYSTEMS from Table1 - Table1.ColA is not unique by itself (it's part of a composite PK in Table1). - Table2.ColA is not unique by itself (it's part of a composite PK in Table2).
I would like to export fields from Access 2003 with a comma pragmatically added between each field as a CSV file.
I am able to export the fields without the comma, but the Accounting Program that I want to use for the importing of the data requires a comma to separate each field.
Hi, I have a 3rd party desktop application to manage inventory. The data will be stored in local MS Access database. I want to sync any changes (insert, update or delete) made to this database to remote MS Sql server immediately or in batches using a scheduler.
Is there any method to know the changed rows in an MS Access table after x time. I mean I want to get all the rows in an Access table that have been added or modified after a particular date and time (say "05-23-2007 10:15:00") without using a user defined date time column in that table.
If i can do the above operation, i will write queries to get the added or modified rows and update remote server in batches.
Table has a relationship with master table. Joined on TractID primary table - auto number, TractID child table - number. This works as it should when adding a new record.
What I am trying to do is create a new key for each new record added in the child table with an ID that looks like this: TractID.A, TractID.B, TractID.C etc. for each new record added in the child table. if so where do I look, how to accomplish it?
I am wondering if it is possible to automatically create a new field in one table whenever a new record is entered in another table. The name of the field would be the primary key entry of that new record.
I have one table (table 1) in which each record corresponds to a particular mouse with a unique ID number, and each field is the ID number of a particular genetic marker. The table overall shows what genotype (+ or -) a mouse has at each marker.
In the other table (table 2) the primary key of each record is the ID number of a genetic marker, and the fields are several different bits of information about the marker (e.g. what chromosome it's on, its location on the chomosome, etc.)
I would like to have it set up so that if I enter a new genetic marker in table 2 a field named after its marker ID will automatically appear in table 1. Is there a way to do this?
I was wanting to know if there is a way to Add the Username to a table as a default value when a new record is added. I know you can add =Date() to get the date. Is there a simple way to get the ID of the person logged into Window?
I have a table A in which I write down orders for cars. A record is an order. A single order may contain multiple cars in varying quantities.Each car has its components. Some cars may have some of their components common. There is a table B which indicates each car and its components required with their quantities required to build the car. There is a record for each different car.
Now suppose there is a new car we are going to produce so we need a new record in table B for the car and all its components. Also we need a new field in table A because people can now order the new car(in some quantity).
With form for table B we can introduce a new record. But how can we add a field in table A automatically after a record is added in table B?
I have an existing table that has calculations. When I added a new field with an default value of zero, it did not populate the existing records. Now my tables are not calculating. How can I update the existing records with the new default of zero.
Using DAO recordset, table enters unbound fields data properly for desired records, but adds an extra record which is a duplicate of the first record entered....any known access quirks for adding unwanted records?
Is it possible on the Find Record button added to a form to adjust the search function so it defaults to a specific box on the form? I have a form for tracking employee's and on my Find Record button I would like it to default to the Last name instead of the Record number.
I have a form based on a table and I just added 3 fields to the table. When I go to the form to add these fields, they do not show up in the field list. I've also tried creating a textbox and going to the Data Tab and choosing the data source but those 3 new fields are still not showing up. How can I go about adding these 3 fields?
I have a db with two table. Table1 Trade has the following among other fields: RefNo (autoNo) PK, TradeDate, HostName, Methodology, etc.
Table2 Market has the following among other fields: MarketDate as Date ( ), USD/EUR_Rate, USD/CHF_Rate, USD/BRL_Rate, etc.
I need to link both tables so that the TradeDate correspondes to the MarketDate. what is that say on TradeDate if it is on 15/01/06 I can see what the Market values for the MarketDate corresponding to that TradeDate.
I tried to link MarketDate as PK on Market table2 to TradeDate on Trade Table1. It seems to work but it does not seem right as sometimes I get errors in entering data, etc on the Market table2. The MarketDate is unique meaning only one data of values for a given date, they can be modified but not duplicated.
Can anyone help, on the best solution for the links to work?
I feel confused about something and I have the need for assistance because solving this small thing would make my life easier. I very much appreciate you taking the time to read this.
I want to normalize my database as much as possible.
I will make a make a form for Breakpoint containing two comboboxes. The top combobox will contain all Modules and I want the second combobox to contain only the Functions that are related to the selected Module from the first combobox.
I know this can be programmed, that's how I do it now: in the onChange-event of the first combobox, I load the content of the second combobox.
However: what I would like to know specifically 3 things: --> what is a common way to solve this? --> Is there a way to solve this using just table-relationships? (drop 2 cbo's on the form and with correct relationships access populates the second and/or the first automatically) --> What are the correct table relationships for this and therefore what missing ID's (used for relationships) have to be filled in in the above 3 tables?
Tables: I have 2 tables, there are same fields: Name, Date, and Invoice #
I make a relationship between 2 tables, connect Name, Date, and Invoice # And click "Enforce Referential Integrity", "Cascade Update Related Fields", and "Cascade Delete Related Records".
One-to-One.
After that, I go table 1, create a record, then close it, then open table 2, the record I created in the table 1 is NOT over there. Does the relationship create record? It only update and delete. What about Add ? Please let me know about it. Thanks.
I work for the school dist. and we have 2 tables for 2 different groups. I need to pull data from them both and create a new Query. Example Table 1: Name, address, phone
Table 2: Name, address, phone
(No similarities in ether database, and we'd like to NOT export data)
I'm hoping it's an easy fix that I've overlooked. Michelle
Hi guys i know this is a simple one but i have been struggling for ages now i would very much love some help. I have a customer database that has a number of tables customer, quotes and materials. I keep getting errors all the time from the database when i try enter information im not sure whether it is my relationships or my tables setup.
The first table that will be displayed is the customer one once all the information has been entered into that one then the customer database should be linked to the quotes table and then from the customers database it drops down into the quotes with the little + sign and then the user enters all the information to do with the job but the field Materials must call a dropdown box, and then display the contents from the materials database, but only the material name.
If anyone can help please do as i have been struggling with this for over a week now and have tryed to solve it myself but with no joy Thanks in advanced i have included the database link below:
I am a newbie to access and i am working on a project that has two tables the primary table has for example the following fields:
firstnameID(primary key) data type auto number Firstname data type text
the second table has for example : LastnameID(primary key) data type auto number Lastname data type text FirstnameID (foreign key)data type number
I created a relationship between the FirstnameID in the primary table and the FirstnameID in the second table .. My problem is this whenever i try to view the relationship when i open the primary table it don't show the relationship , The Field FirstnameID in the secondary field is always Empty the only time the relationship is created is when i manually insert the autonumber that is generated in the FirstnameID field , but i thought that since a link was created then that field would have automatically be inseted with data , am i assuming wrong or am i doing somethingn wrong? how do i get the autonumber to be inserted in the field automatically to create the relationship? Please Help
