Tables :: Updating Dates In Specific Records Within A Field
Nov 6, 2013
So I currently have a table that tracks medication activity for patients called tblMedRanges. The Fields are the ID, StartMedication, EndMedication, Med ID/Medication Name.
In the End of Medication, some patients are not currently active so they have a set date/time field property. What I have for right now is the default value is set to
Code:
=date()
So that when staff adds a new medication it is set to the current date. These patients are supposed to be active, but it doesn't update the default value. I want it to continue to update to the current date every time the database is open.
I have three options that I know of(or think I know of) to update but can't commit to one in particular :
1)I want these individual records in the field to update the current time for today and was considering using some kind of data macro code using before update.
2)The other idea I had was splitting up the field into an EndOfMedication field that would display a value only if their inactive, and an Active field (text, value list active/inactive choices) that would be used in a query to generate the current date as med field. This would take some crafty query work with comparisons later on to generate list of drugs that they were on for each visit.
3) set to text field and convert the field to date field for comparison in queries.
I Have a table that contains the fields: CAT, CHAPTER, ID, someSrting and Completed
CAT, CHAPTER, ID are numbers and Completed is true/false. If I mark a certain entry as Complted (true), I want all the records with the same (CAT, CHAPTER, ID) as the one I marked to be updated to Completed.
For example, If I marked the entry cat:1 chapter:1 id:1 as completed (true), I want all the entrys that have cat:1 chapter:1 id:1 to be marked as completed (true)
the code I wrote is:
Code: Private Pub Completed_check_AfterUpdate() Dim myCC Dim myCat Dim myChap Dim myID myCC = Me.Completed_check myCat = Me.CAT myChap = Me.CHAPTER myID = Me.ID CurrentDb.Execute "Update [my Table] " _ & "SET Completed = (" & myCC & ") " _ & "WHERE CAT = (" & myCat & ") And CHAPTER = (" & myChap & ") And ID = (" & myID & ") ;" End Sub
I'm running the code (my clicking the "check box") and nothing happens, I was thinking that maybe I defined the after "WHERE" statement wrong, and there are 0 entrys changed..
UPDATE: after removing the
Code:
"& "WHERE..."
row, the code does update the entire table, so I have a problem with the syntax of the sql..
Let's say I have a table sort of like this one: [URL] .... (Table 1)
What I want to do is make another table that references the first table: [URL] ... (Table 2)
I want the cells in the Average field in Table 2 to calculate an average of all the values for records in Table 1 with Color fields that correspond to the Color field in Table 2 (this makes a little more sense if you look at the pictures). I could do this in Excel, but then problems would arise whenever I would add a new entry to the database, or re-alphabetized the data, since Excel math is depends entirely on the positions of cells, and I want these averages to be continually calculated correctly and to change whenever I add related records to the database.
I am working on form where the user selects either "IN" or "OUT" from a dropdown of field name "CheckOut" in Frm1.
If they select "OUT" they will in turn need to fill in 2 additional fields. When they change the value back from "OUT" to "IN",
I want those other fields to be cleared of data for just this record so next time they change back to "OUT" from "IN" those 2 additional fields are already blank.
I am creating a database that tracks current projects for my team at work.
Some projects are only due once (e.g., mailed brochures due on 1/1/14) and some are due at scheduled intervals (e.g., status report due monthly, quarterly, etc.)
Ultimately, I'm hoping that my end result will allow us to click on a form and look at what everybody has due that day, in the next 7 days, and so forth.
ID - File Type - Source - Delivery - Return 1 - X - LB - ROY - LB via Roy 2 - Y - USA - Smith - USA via Smith 3 - Z - LB - -
my question is how can i make the last column (Return) to fill like the data above..what i mean if (Delivery) not null So the return will be filled like the above if the (Delivery) is null the return will be null too
-the user will fill only the columns (File Type - Source - Delivery) -the column (Return) will be filled automatically if (Delivery) not null
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 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.
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 have a database containing 10,000+ trouble tickets identified by a unique field called "Ticket ID". This is the primary key for my table. (It's on just one table.) These tickets came from an excel sheet that was exported out of a different database. (For various reasons, we've moved the tickets to access.)
Among many descriptor fields, I have a field called "SPR Type" that shows what type of ticket each entry is. (Bug, Defect, Enhancement, etc, etc) The problem we have here is... not all of the ticket entries have an SPR Type listed on my access table because not all of the tickets coming out of the original excel sheet had one.
I was given a new excel sheet containing 400 to 500 ish Ticket IDs and the SPR Type that applies to each of those tickets. How can I take that sheet and use it to update my access table? Ie. Use the excel sheet containing Ticket ID and SPR Type to populate the blank SPR Type fields for each of their respective Ticket IDs?
**Update: I'm trying something like this...
UPDATE [SPR Priority] inner join [EB Update of SPR] on [SPR Priority.Ticket ID] = [EB Update of SPR.Ticket ID] SET [SPR Priority.SPR Type] = [EB Update of SPR.SPR Type]
But I am getting an error that says "Invalid Bracketing of name [SPR Priority.Ticket ID] and similar errors. What am I getting wrong here?
I thought about an Update query that would populate the SPR Type fields based on Ticket IDs. I could import the new excel sheet into a separate access table and update from there.
Hope someone can help me out on this one. Searched the forum but can’t find anything to help me out.
I have two tables: tblCustomers that contains unique customer records (names addresses etc.) and tblComments that contains comment data for the customers
Tables are joined one to many tblCustomers -> tblComments on account_ref
tblComments can contain several records per customer, all are datestamped.
I want just the latest datestamped comment record per customer, just can’t seem to work the logic on this one. Must be so simple but can’t fathom it.:confused:
Ideally, I’m producing a report of Customer data (Name, address, contacts etc) + the last comment record for each customer. Have started with a simple query, but have hit an impasse. Have tried sorting, group by, top 1, distinct etc, but don’t seem to be getting anywhere.:mad:
If someone can point me in the right direction, and give me a starter for 10 I’d be much appreciated.
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).
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.
I have 2 tables, "Counselors" and "Appeals". There are several names in the Counselor table but it is not a fixed number of names (rows) usually around 7. There is also some variable number of records in the Appeals table, could be 0, could be 50, depending on the day.
I need to, in a round robin fashion, assign the counselor names one by one to the records in the Appeals table. How to loop through the 2 tables and update the name field in the Appeals table with the name in the Counselor table.
My father tables contains all the relevant fields with info of my products (which are listed in records/rows). My sister table contains less fields but are all present in the father table. The info is imported from excel daily into the sister table - all the fields here change regularly except for the unique ID which is present in both tables. Because the sister tables' information for the records/rows changes, it is difficult to update the selected fields of the father table.
I want to update selected fields within my father table based on the information I upload from the excel sheet (which becomes the sister table when uploaded)
I'm building a forum from the scrath. It is already working, but I want to have in each topic the number of replies it has. there are 2 tables, one for the topics and other to the replies. in the replies table there is a field called id_post that has the id of the post witch it belongs.
I solve the problem by inserting a query inside the loop of the posts:
<% While Not rs.EOF %> <% Set rs2 = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) as cont FROM replies where id_post= " & rs("id") & " " rs2.Open sql,Conn,1,2 %>
post: <%=rs("post")%> replies:<%=rs2("cont")%>
<% rs.MoveNext wend rs.close%>
but someone told that this would make the page slower, so I want to know if I can do the same thing without having the query inside the loop.
I don't know if I made myself clear, sorry for that.
I have a Table Named "Combined List 05/06/03" Within this table there is a Field named "Scheduled Date" which has dates but the field was created as a Text Field. How do I go about changing this field to a date field. I have approx 95,000 records in this table. Is their a way to change this field to a date field or can I create another date field and move that info over. Im using MS Access 2010.
I want a field that I will enter the current work experience of an employee years and months and i would like it to update as time passes. I am willing to accept it displayed as a decimal, i.e 4 years 7 months would be 4.7, I would just need to have it calculate on base 12 but I don't know how?
I have a complex database app that has a form called from the main form. It requires two inputs: BeginningDate and EndingDate and I use a calendar picker for date selection. Using data assigned to a variable, I build the SQL query in VBA. The result is:
Code: SELECT [1733_All Print Orders].[Application], Sum([1733_All Print Orders].[TotalImages]) AS SumOfCCPC FROM [1733_All Print Orders] WHERE [Application] = 'CCPC' AND [StatementDate] >= #9/3/2013# AND [StatementDate] <= #9/30/2013# GROUP BY [1733_All Print Orders];[Application]
[1733_All Print Orders] is a defined query that combines 4 tables together and there are data that falls within the dates for CCPC. But the query returns no records.
I pasted the query to the query builder and using different combinations, I isolated that the [StatementDate] >= #9/3/2013# portion is what returns no records
To complicate matters even worse, prior to today, it worked. I made some adds and changes to another area of the application, but did not touch this code.
I'm creating a form to count the number of employees with birthdays between 2 dates. There are 2 unbound date fields; Start_Date and End_Date. I have an Employee table with DOB field. I've been stuck on how to get the field to return the correct number of employees that fall within the 2 dates.
I'm having an issue with pound signs in my table for specific items. I've create a DB that when you click a command button it opens a form and in the form it has a notes field. In the notes field once where i had data is now pound signs.
The DB is setup so when you click another command button to close out, it saves the record. It works 98% of the time but the i'm concern about the other 2% of the time.
I would like the "DateOfConfirmation" to populate with today's date when "SSurvDiagThisYear" is Confirmed.
The DateRecordCreated is a simple =Date() that populates when the record is entered into the table.
SSurvDiagThis Year is the case outcome - Pending, Probable, or Confirmed. It is possible that the case could be confirmed on the same day it was entered into the table but that is RARE.
I am hoping for the The DateOfConfirmation to capture the date the case is confirmed so that I can gather some duration between the case being opened to confirmed.
I have a form listing tasks to which I make personnel assignments with a multi-value list field type. It takes some time to select from 15-25 employees on the list for each task, especially considering that small groups of employees will be assigned to the same selection of tasks.
What I want to do is select multiple records with the mouse, then click a command button opening a form in dialog mode with the selection list. The user then clicks to make his selections and clicks ok, which then updates the multi-select field for the selected records.
Hello everybody. I am new to Access and as such I don’t know how to perform the following. Please help me out.
The project is about a library loan system. I have a database consisting of the following tables: member (MemCode, LName, …), book (BkCode, Title, TotalCopies,…), purchase (PurDate, BkCode, CopiesBought,…) and transaction (MemCode, BkCode, RentalDate,ReturnDate,Returned).
TotalCopies is the total no. of copies there are of the book CopiesBought is the number of copies that have been purchased RentalDate is the date on which book is being loaned ReturnDate is the last date on which the book has to be returned Returned is a Yes/No field to indicate if the book has been returned
In the library a member can take only one book at a time.
Problem 1: The library may have several copies of a particular book, but all will have the same code. For example, a book, let’s say Harry Potter 6 has code 97. Initially only 1 copy of the book is purchased. When the librarian sees the book has great demand, he decides to purchase 3 more copies. All the copies will have the same code, i.e., 97. Only the TotalCopies will become 4.
BkCode is Autonumber in book table and Number in Purchase table. Relationship is 1:many.
I have a Purchase form to record details of books being purchased. I have a command button “Book form” that opens the book form when the user clicks on it. He will use it if the book being purchased is not already available in the library. What I want is:
(i)If he opens the book form to fill in details of the book, then when he closes the form I want the book details to automatically appear in the corresponding fields on the Purchase form. (ii)The CopiesBought will have to be used to update the TotalCopies in the book table. How should I do this?
Problem 2: When the user wants to record a loan, the system will need to check if that member already has a book which he has not yet returned. If it is so, then the system will need to provide a prompt to inform the user of this and consequently blocks the user from completing the transaction. How do I do this?
