I want to update fields B and C in a table based upon another field (A) in the same table but I want:Field B to update when the original field A is changed in the table (I have managed to get this working in the form but I am trying to get the fields in the table to do the same as sometimes we batch update via the tables and this doesn't seem to work so we have to go into each record individually in form view to update the fields) Field C to only use part of the original field. where to start on this?
I am trying to setup a database for vehicle stock control. Im not sure if I have gone about this the right way as I am new to this but thus far it is working correctly except for one annoying problem. The database consists of so far
In the Vehicle Details table a stock number has to be manually added as this will be used for new stock as well as current stock (Number range from 100 - whatever) "IAWVehicleNo". This table contains all relevent data with reguards to make, model, bodytype, color etc. The sellers table contains the details of the seller Name, address, Phone, LicenceNo etc. The Buyers table contains employee names. The States table contains all Australian states. The Status table contains current vehicle status Retail, Wholesale, Wrecking etc. The Sold table contains the details of the person who purchased the vehicle if sold. The Safety details table contains a safety checklist for pre purchase inspections eg: Headlights yes/no checkbox, Headlight text field for any extra info. It also has a field for a safety Certificate No once the vehicle is checked and recieves a Safety cert. The forms are setup as frmIAWVehicleDetails frmIAWSellers Subform frmIAWVehicleSafetyDetails frmIAWVehicleSafetyDetails Subform
The Vehicle Details,Sellers,Sold & SafetyDetails tables all have the IAWVehicleID & IAWVehicleNo Fields but when the details are entered through the forms the IAWVehicleNo which is the manually entered number only updates to the tblIAWVehiclesDetails but the other IAWVehicleNo fields in the other tables remain blank. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
I wrote a database several years ago and recently pulled it out to give to a friend. The problem is, back then (not knowing better) I set the Employee table up with as a single field "NAME". Now, in order to make it effective, I need the Employee's name in four (4) parts (First, Middle, Last, Suffix).
I have several queries based on the "NAME" field and and would like to avoid changing all of them. I have a simple form "frmUpdateEmployees" that populates the Employee table and Name field. I was hoping to change the form and/or add a query that would be easier and more simple.
Table: Employee Field: Name Form: frmUpdateEmployees Queries: 16 that depend on the table and field above.
We have our access database with a bit of a messy structure?
We use our database to record sizes of our product. I am hoping to improve it by adding the items we have in stock to prevent manufacturing more.
Basically our main database called "Make & Model 1" has a list of various makes and model numbers, each model number lists various information needed to manufacture a replacement part.
Customers order the part and these part details are entered into a table called "Order Detail" What I would like to happen is that when the details are entered a calculated field adds the data entered to a text string. I need to match the text string to the same text string in a table called "stock" as there could be one part that matches hundreds of models.
Basically the "profile" "Colour" "height" and "width" make the string and this is what I need to match and tick a box / populate the number of items in stock. Eventually I would like this to reduce by the amount ordered but lets do one step at a time.
I don't have any database experience whatsoever so please go easy. I'm guessing this kind of this is extremely simple for all of you.
I'm constructing a database of network resources and devices and I'd like to automatically update the values in one field based on the values of a field in another table.
The first table is called "IP" and the fields are called "Address", "IP Type" and "Device". The second table is called "Devices" and contains the fields "Name", "Description", "Asset Number" and "IP".
Here's an example of the tables: (ignore the "code" tag. i've only used it to align my columns properly)
What I want is for the Device field in the IP table to automatically update it's values based on the values found in the Devices table. In this case, the values that should appear in the Device field in the IP table are "Xserve" and "ProliantX".
I've searched through but haven't found a complete solution, just little pieces which I'm too inexperienced to put together myself.
I have a copy of the back-end that gets a search key error 3709 on two records. In other words, I can duplicate the problem.
The interesting part is that I can update any other field on both these records and save the record, but when I try to change two specific fields, I get a Search Key Error and have to ESC out to continue (basically UNDO the change). Both fields are text fields with lengths of 7 characters and 255 characters, and both are COMBO Boxes on the form.
I tried to focus on the form think there was an issue in the code. I can definitely TRAP the 3709 error on the ON ERROR event on the form using "if dataerr = 3709", but then I tried something even simplier.
I went directly to the table and to each of the records. Again I can update any other field in the record but these two specific fields. When I try to change either of them and move to another record, you get a Search Key Error 3709.
By going to the table record directly I'm as low level as I can get. There are no validation rules on either field at the database level. If it was truly CORRUPT would it let me update any of the other fields on either of these records? One is an empid (not a primary key but is indexed with duplicates okay and not required), and one is status code (not a primary key but is indexed with duplicates okay and not required) so they're no critical fields, but something is keeping them from CHANGING.
Just tried something else; deleted the INDEXES on both the fields. Now it works! I am completely confused now because it really wasn't a corrupt record, but the indexes are causing the problem. Do I need to update the indexes somehow when the users selects a new empid or status code?
Ok, i have a question about update queries.I have two tables (I'll call table 1 and table two for simplicity) and an update query. I want to get some data from table one to table two (via an update query). But in table two there is a field that isn't in table one but i want to add a value to that field via the query.My question is, can i manually put into the query what data to add to a field instead of/aswell as using data from other tables.I hope you understood my questions.Cheers
I have got a query that updates details from one table2 to table1, "Reference" is the primary key and this is what the query uses to determine which need updating.
It all works great but if table2 contains a record in "Reference" that is not in table1 i just want it to ignore it, currently it just seeems to add them.
I have some experience doing 'Update Query' using two different tables but I'm having a hard time doing an 'Update Query' using 3 tables.
I have my source table TP05XY with the fields 'Mark' 'Date' 'UTM_Edig' and 'UTM_Ndig'. Mark and Date are my primary keys (they together uniquely ID each record). I have my Observations table with the fields 'Mark' 'Date' and 'Obs_ID'. The last table is Locations with 'Obs_ID' 'UTM_E' and 'UTM_N'.
I want to update my fields UTM_E and UTM_N from UTM_Edig and UTM_Ndig. However, to do so, I have to go from my TP05XY table, through Observations table to update Locations table. Table TP05XY is joined to Observations through 'Mark' and 'Date' and Observations table is linked to Locations through 'Obs_ID' field.
I have tried a few options without success ... anyone knows how to do it?
Basically in my order details table i have the following fields
Product Unit Size
At the moment i have the Product field with a dropdown that gives me all the products from my ProductT. But once i choose the correct product in the unit field it gives me all the possibilities of every product not just the units associated with that product. ie
ProductT Grasshopper Box1000 Adult Grasshopper Box1000 Subadult Worm 10pz Big
When I select the grasshopper product and move on to the unit field i also get "10pz" option but this is not a product available.
How do i set up validation of the fields Unit and size based on another fields data?
I reached the limit of 255 fields in a table. I just need to add one more field so I deleted several fields I no longer needed thinking I would then be able to add one more new field. However, I am still unable to add one more field. How to free up fields that are no longer needed?
I have to make a Costing System but for that I need to enter our Expense details in database according to Fiscal year and months.
I need a table for Fixed expenses and one for Variable Expenses and then I need one or more Forms to update data in those tables. Now I've created a table with Fixed Expenses. I have to update Year and Amount in that. Now it is only letting me one entry per Expense.
I want multiple entries for one Expense say 'Advertising' for different years. I'm thinking may be I need to make more than one Table, may be one for Expenses with ExpenseID and other for Years with Year and YearID and the third one for Amount with columns Amount, Method of Payment, Date and Notes. I did tried this but I think I'm not creating proper relation may be because its only updating for one year.
I am using calculated field as a data type in access 2010.
They are working fine.
However, I added a new field and now the final calc won't work.
I have Subtotal adding loads of fields together. Works fine.
Then I have a VATunit field which is a double integer, so enter 20 and my next field is VATTotal calculates the SubTotal + the VATunit by doing (Subtotal/100)*VATunit. This calculation is fine and gives me the correct amount.
The next field is a Total field. Which adds Subtotal and the VATTotal together. Howver, the Total is the same as Subtotal. It is not adding the VATTotal to 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 am working on a database which has two tables used as part of a registration and login process.
I would like a couple of fields from table one to automatically update in table two, once the fields in table one are populated without using an 'on click' event.
The reason I would prefer not to use an onclick is because the completion of the form used to generate the users table does not require any buttons for the data to save.
i would like to sum all the column fields in a tables column where an id is the same as the id in that table. I know you can use the SUM function in the select statement of your query.
But how can i set this sum result into a variable, so i can use it for calculation further on in the program?
I have 2 tables tblworkdone and tbltests, both have a date field and are both subforms in a tabbed form on the main form. When I enter a date into the tbltests subform I would like the date to automatically be entered into the tblworkdone date field and create a new record so that when I move to the tblworkdone subform with the date already there.
Hey guys- I have 2 identical tables. I want to update the data from Table1 to go into Table2. Each table has well over 70+ fields in them. Instead of handwriting out each [Table].[Field] in either SQL or the Designer- is there a shortcut to tell Access to grab all the fields from Table1 and update all the fields in Table2 (all the fields have the same name)? I just don't have the energy to type it all out- I figure there's got to be a way...
I know when you do an APPEND query in the designer- it will do this for you- but not the UPDATE query... Thanks!
I have a one-to-many query with two tables. I'm using the query as a record source for a subform.
The subform displays the correct data I'm after however I can't update any fields on the it due to the underlying query having a one to many relationship. I understand that and thats fine.
Problem is I need users to be able to update one field on this subform as required. Is there a way to allow this while keeping the underlying query the same?
Is it possible to update 3 fields from one drop down box? the drop down box's sql is as follows:
SELECT [tblCurrentRoute].[KFC ID], [tblCurrentRoute].[PERIOD/MONTH], [tblCurrentRoute].[PK ID] FROM [tblCurrentRoute]
I would like to update the following fields on tblMasterEvaluations:
tblCurrentRoute.KFC ID = tblMasterEvaluations.StoreID tblCurrentRoute.Period/Month = tblMasterEvaluations.Period tblCurrentRoute.PK ID = tblMasterEvaluations.PKID
I have the drop down showing the correct information, and it stores the Store ID correctly; however, I would like to use that selection to update other fields in my table also...is this possible? Thanks!
the fields in my form don't update for some odd reason. i tried making another form and it works fine there. But i want these fields to be enabled on the current form because it will be the main menu and i want it to be there already.
the record source is fine, all the properties are fine... but it does not update.. there is a combo box which updates perfectly.. any idea ??
Hi, Hope someone can help. What I’m trying to do is have a combo box look up values from one table and add them to another. I have used the combo box wizard to look up a value from table1 and add it to table2 but is there a way that it can lookup 2 values and add them to the second table. For instance if I had to tables like :-
Table1 First Name Last Name
Table2 First Name Last Name
Can a combo box lookup and update both fields for example if I have a combo looking up the first name can it also lookup the last name and add them to the corresponding fields in the second table but with the user only selecting the first name in the combo box.
I’m sorry if I don’t make much sense I’m new to access and fairly new to forums
Could someone please shed some light on any methods on a way to update fields automatically in different tables but with the same field name when data is entered into one of the fields in any table?
