What I am trying to do is stop the ability to duplicating records over a series of fields (FirstName, MInitial, LastName, Company)rather than just one specific field.
The problem with this is it wont allow me to enter more than one person with the same first, middle, or last name or company.
I tried "DCount" Code in a form with no luck, that code reads as followed:
Code:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If DCount("*", "tblEmployees", "[firstname]=" & Chr(34) & Me!firstname & Chr(34) & _
" And [MInitial]=" & Chr(34) & Me!MInitial & Chr(34) & _
" And [LastName]=" & Chr(34) & Me!LastName & "#") > 0 Then
Msgbox "Person already exists."
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
Note: this code was initially used on a different database I was working on that accounted for an individuals First Name, Last Name, and Date of Birth which worked great. I am just trying to apply that similar concept to this new database with first name, middle initial, last name, and company; which will be a foreign key.
I am preparing a "simple" training database. I want to do this smartly and not duplicate data.
My first table is the list of employees and their information. I have set a primary key (PK) up for each employee.
My second table is a list of training courses - title, description, start/stop time, credits, ... Each of these courses has a unique number (PK).
It's the final database table that is driving me nuts. I want it to show whether a n employee has taken/will take/not planning to take a course. My idea is to have a status field and then wanted to link that with a student number and a course number from the other tables.
In the past I would just have put common data fields StudentName from one table and CourseName from the other into the final database tables as a means of linking them. But I thought/read it's better to use a PK instead. Well when I make the third table up I get all of this Type Mismatch errors.
About 2 years ago, I created a database (my first real one actually) which is extensively used. I havent had to maintain it too much in this time but I was looking at the live table data and noticed that the users are placing inappropriate entries in fields designed for other data such as listing the Company name where the last name of the person should appear and also they are using the first name field for the entire name of the person (lastname, firstname). Knowing this is an issue, I contacted the user who didnt seem to care as thats how they chose to use the database. Since Im the person who created it and Im ultimately responsible for it, I would like to prohibit these types of entries in the future. Does anyone know of a way to force integrity in an example such as what I outlined above? I thought about trying to prohibit the use of a comma in the form field, but then I suspect they would probably choose something else or nothing at all and we would be at the same point with no resolution. Im not trying to be a jerk, but the point of the DB is being tossed away because the users choose to be stupid. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
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 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....
I'm wondering if it's possible to create a Query / Macro / VBA or whatever works, to detect the duplicate records in a table and delete them with the push of a command button. Or, even to do this automatically when the database opens using an AutoExec macro or something ?. I'd like for one copy of each record to be left intact in the table.
I have a table with duplicate records (which is ok) and I want to return distinct data for each client.
It works fine when there is only two fields returned however, when I add a third field to the query it no longer returns only the Distinct records - I am getting Duplicates returned.
I.E
SELECT DISTINCT tblClient.ClientNo, tblClient.Name FROM tblClient
Works fine with only the Distinct records for each client returned
However
SELECT DISTINCT tblClient.ClientNo, tblClient.Name, tblClient.Address, tblClient.OrderValue FROM tblClient
Now returns Duplicates!
Is there a limit to the number of fields to be returned using DISTINCT or what else could be the problem? Should I be doing this some other way?
table name : Schedule Field 1 = Vessel code Field 2 = Voyage Field 3 = ETA Field 4 = berthed Field 5 = Sailed
there is a query by using above table and data entry form based on that query.
need to add following facilitate
While data entering, if given voyage number is already exist for the particular vessel code, msg should be pop up immediately at that time saying " This voyage number is already exist"
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?
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 am assisting my employer by combining two databases into one. Both databases have the same field "structure" but the data differs. When creating my append query.
Let's say that there're 2 workers: Worker A, and Worker B, and they are fixing some engines. There's 2 different engines: Engine A, and Engine B. And these workers are fixing these engines for all day, and in the evening they have to register how many engines they've fixed.
And my job is to design Access database for them. I thought it will be very easy to do; I've created table with columns: Date, Worker, Engine, Quantity - so every day Worker A and Worker B can register, that they have repaired some amount of Engines A and Engines B.
But there's a problem that I also have to register how many Engines have arrived to the factory, and how many of them weren't repaired on time (E.g. 15 Engines A have arrived, Worker A fixed 5, Worker B fixed 5 so there's 5 engines left for tomorrow)
I've figured out that I should somehow create table IncomingEngines with columns Date, Engine, Incoming, Fixed, Undone (field Fixed should be completed automatically every day for every engine - it would be a sum of engines A and engines B fixed by worked A and worker B - so I could fill Incoming field manually)
It's easy to create this kind-of Query, but I can't add column to querry, or edit it.
I have a table called "WorkRequest" consisting of some fields such as WR Number, WR Date, WR Time, WR Requested by and WR Work Requested.Once a work request is completed, I want to open a form called "JobCards" from a table called "JobCards". When I click on the pulldown box for the Job card number, it lists the "WorkRequest.WR Numbers" which is what I want.
My problem is: As soon as I select the WR Number and it displays in the jobcard form in the JobCardNumber field, and I press ENTER or TAB, it must automatically populate the corresponding fields on the JobCard Form. These fields are defined identically in bot the "WorkRequest" and the "JobCard" tables.
I currently am working on a small inventory project. I have a table with the fields "Part Number" which is my primary key, "Description", "Cost", and "Sale Cost". I have a second table that I would like to use to keep track of purchase orders. It has the fields "Part Number", "Description", "QTY", and "Cost". I would like to be able to open purchase orders and be able to select a part number from a combo box that pulls "Part Number" from my item list.
So I can enter items in to my item list and later when I do purchase orders I can go to purchase orders select my item and have it automatically fill in the description and cost in my purchase order. If the item does not exist I can enter in the item in to the item list table. At this point i'm not worried about a prompt to enter in new items if they don't exist in the item list table. I just want to my Purchase Orders table to be able to autofill description and cost by selecting a "Part Number".
I am new in using MS Access. We have this thesis that checks the attendance of the professors and then sends the ID number of the professor to MS Access. I am using smsenabler as the software to encode the ID numbers to the database.
The problem is that, I want to transfer the ID numbers to specific table for the professors name. I don't know how to do it. And I can't make the ID numbers as primary keys because it duplicates every time the professor scans his/her ID.
I am not sure how to word this or how to search the forums for an answer and am getting frusterated.
I need to create a table that pulls data from other tables based on a job number and a check box (true or false).
I have to export the data from the table to a text file and set a fixed with for the columns so that it will turn out like this:

I can't seem to do this in a query because it does not give me an export to text option.
I have a production machine that writes its output to a CSV file every time it produces a good part (several times pr. day). It can produce identical part which means that the mashine will not put in another line in the csv, but just update the no of produced parts. I had to rename the attached file because you can not uploade *.csv files in the forum.
What I want is:
- When someone opens a specific Access db a tabel in the db is updated with all new data from the csv file.
My problem is: How do I make sure that I only get the new data from the Access db.
I have a linked ODBC table in my database that contains data like this -
Code: Task Serial CrewAmount 00_INSTALL ENGINE INTO PEDESTAL STAND 707308AS30.2 00_INSTALL ENGINE INTO PEDESTAL STAND 707308OMB0.2 01_BORESCOPE INSPECTION 706496AS114.24 01_BORESCOPE INSPECTION 706496AS223.24
[Code] .....
What I would like to do is remove the duplicate values for the Task field, but show how much time each Crew has spent on each Task per Serial. The end result would look like this -
Code: Task SerialAS1AS2AS3OMAOMB 01_BORESCOPE INSPECTION 70649614.2423.2428.78 00_INSTALL ENGINE INTO PEDESTAL STAND 7073080.20.2 01_INSTALL OIL TANK 7073085.67
[Code] ....
What is the best way to achieve this result? I've played around with Append queries, union queries etc, but nothing seems to give me the result I'm after.
i have created 6 tables and individual forms for each of them to fill those tables. also i have reports which are bounded to 4 of these tables/forms.
my problem is this :
i have successfully filled the tables using these forms. but whenever i open it the next day or so, the data in some of the tables gets mixed up.
For eg: >my EMPLOYEE DETAILS has the emp no as primary key, and is linked as lookup field in other tables. (so tht user may select emp no and then enter details in FORMS) >my EMPLOYEE ADRESS table's (report not linked) data gets interchanged according to emp no. instead of being 1,2,3,4,5,6 (as i entered), its 2,3,4,5,6,6. >sometimes my other tables also have these problems.
I have a table that has a field that holds a total. Through historic reasons the total in a (relatively) small number of cases is wrong. I have analysed and worked out what the difference should be and have created a table with the value that is missing. I basically want to add the 2 together.
So I have
Table1 Field1 Value1 Table2 Field2 Value2
I want table 1 to be
Table1 Field1 (Value1+Value2)
Programming wise I would just have Value1 = Value1 + Value2
How do I go about doing this in a query or some other whizzy way?
I am working with a table where I want to be able to add choose the customer name from a dropdown and have the customer number automatically populate. I set up the dropdown already using the query builder for customer name and it works perfectly. I also chose customer number in the query, but it does not show.
Even better, in case of duplicate names, I would like to be able to select the customer number and have the name populate.
So ultimately, when I select either field, I want the other to auto populate...
