Keep 5 Similar Tables Updated
Apr 2, 2008I have 5 tables which comes from different departments in our company.
All of them have the same key "project no" but hold different information in other colums.
As a starting point I have secured that they all have same no. of records meaning all "project no" are in all tables but some table might not contain other information in that record than the project no.
I have put them into a quirie and on a form I am able to look at all data from all 5 tables.
I have linked them one to one and it works fine untill I add a record to one of the tables. Afterwards I am not able to write into fields from other tables because there is no automatic creation of the record in the other tables.
Please How would this be best/easiest to make for me. ?
The reason why I have to keep the 5 tables is that regular updates are avaiable form any of them.
Appricate any comments which can make me any progress.
Tables :: Split Fields And Look For Updated Match?
Apr 20, 2013I have done this in Excel before, but not Access. I do not know VBA. I figure this will have to be done in a query or a macro. I don't even know if all of this is possible in Access. I need to be able to split an Address field into:
Street Number
Street Name
Street Type
Street Direction
And the purpose of this is so that I can pull out the Street Type (Drive, Road, Lane, etc) and update the abbreviations (DR, RD, LN) to the Street Type spelled completely out.
I did this in Excel by creating a Named Range "Types" on a sheet that has the abbreviations in Column A and the spelled out versions in Column B so that I could convert the abbreviations to complete street types. I broke down the entire address into each part on another sheet. Then I did a VLOOKUP to look up the Street Type in Column B in the Types range. Works great! And the only way I knew at the time to do that.
But, by doing this, I have to get the data I need from a download into a spreadsheet, break the address fields down on a second sheet, do all kinds of field update conversions (to get the field names from the download to match the field names in my Access table). This takes extensive Excel programming. I just thought there might be a way to do it by simply importing the data from the download straight into Access. That is easily done, but the Street Types aren't consistent.
There may even be a better way to do this than splitting....something like if a field CONTAINS DR update it to Drive. This would be a long process to set up because there are so many different street types to consider.
This is basically for the purpose of finding duplicates. If there is one entry called 123 Main St and another called 123 Main Street, they are not going to show up as duplicates, rather as two separate records.

How To Import Data From The Original Two Tables To New Updated Database
Apr 28, 2014I've been making small changes here and there to my database in Access 2013. I have left the original database in place and it has acquired many new records from the last month. I'm ready to start using the newly updated design version of the database, but I do not want to have to type all those new records into the new database to get it up-to-date. There has to be a way to import the data from the original database to the newly updated one.
Most, If not all of the fields have the same names, but some of the fields have changed, like to Combo boxes. I removed two or three unneeded fields, and added two or three. I understand the new fields will need to have data enter to them, but the remaining would be redundant and inefficient if I have to reenter all the recent records again.
How do I import the data from the original two tables to the new updated database? I only have two tables and they use a One-to-One relationship in both databases. The table's names are different, but as I mentioned earlier, the fields are mostly the same. Do I need to import into Excel, and then modify the data slightly, and then import into my new database?
Form Won't Allow Changes After I Updated My Table And Queries
Oct 6, 2004Need Help...
I deleted a field (Senority #) in my table and so on with the queries, forms. reports that had that field. I redone my query so that it would calculate my senority (thanks to all that helped). When I went back into my form that previously had the senority field I could not edit or change anything. All I got were beeps. I do not have any locks on the text boxes, combo boxes, forms, ect. Please help!!!!
Queries :: Auto-count Once Updated
May 26, 2013i have a table with a column that reflects the below info, need to work out something for access to keep a count on the numbers of fields, have tried using conditional "count" in queries, the resultant value return is 12, this count omits counting all the "1", which is not i wanted, how do i tell access to start counting from the most recent "1" onward, and in this case the correct count value should return as "5", meaning there are 5 fields being entered after the most recent "1".

Queries :: WHY Would All Null Values Not Get Updated
Apr 1, 2013I have a table with two fields; Part and remarks - both Text fields containing 1.8 million records. Remarks field has 600,000 blanks in the field. I filtered for blanks to get the 600,000 records displayed. I want to update this field to N/A where null values exist. My code is
UPDATE PartApplications SET PartApplications.remarks = "N/A"
WHERE (((PartApplications.remarks) Is Null));
The query updates 55,000 records ONLY and leaves the remaining blank.WHY would all null values not get updated?
Repeated Queries And Updated Data
Sep 13, 2013I am running repeated calculation queries of different data, but its is not working to well. I have one query listing the total number of hats made from wool. I then have a second query of that lists the total number of hats made from wool and are black. I have third query that calculates the percentage. I have many different hats of many different colors, and i am doing the same three queries over and over. However, the calculated field for percentages does not update. E.G. I have 100 wool hats, 10 wool,black hats, 10%. The next round: i have 100 wool hats, 5 wool green hats, its will still show me 10%, as its is still calculating based on the previous data. how can i go about this most efficiently and why is not updating?

Queries :: Update Query Saying 0 Records Will Be Updated
Jun 3, 2014I have a simple Select Query based on one table.
In SQL View, the query is:
Code:
SELECT SYSADM_CUSTOMER_ORDER.ID, SYSADM_CUSTOMER_ORDER.STATUS
FROM SYSADM_CUSTOMER_ORDER
WHERE (((SYSADM_CUSTOMER_ORDER.ID) Like 'Q%') AND ((SYSADM_CUSTOMER_ORDER.STATUS)="H"));
So basically getting all records in the CUSTOMER_ORDER table that have ID beginning with Q and the STATUS is H (on hold).
I want to simply update these to change the STATUS to C (closed).
I converted the SELECT Query to an UPDATE Query and added a "C" in the Update To Field.
The SQL View is now:
Code:
UPDATE SYSADM_CUSTOMER_ORDER SET SYSADM_CUSTOMER_ORDER.STATUS = "C"
WHERE (((SYSADM_CUSTOMER_ORDER.ID) Like 'Q%') AND ((SYSADM_CUSTOMER_ORDER.STATUS)="H"));
But for some reason Access is telling me that it will update 0 records. There are over 2500 records to update.
Modules & VBA :: View Cannot Be Updated Because Modification Affects Multiple Base Tables
Aug 26, 2014I am trying to trap the database error "View cannot be updated because modification affects multiple base tables" in the Form OnError event to display a user-friendly message instead of the above.The above can happen in the scenario of inserting/updating several fields of different tables at one time, likewise what I am facing now is the scenario of the user copying an entire record and pasting it.
I tried
Case 4405
MsgBox "Can not update the record. it is related to base tables"
Response = acDataErrContinue
But it doesn't work. How can I know the case number and solve all the scenarios of multiple insert/update attempts?Also, are there any better solution than this? I first tried to detach the SQL statements out of the views and make it one select statement so that I can normally multiple update/insert(as this problem happens with views only) but since CTE is not supported in Access , I failed to do so.
Queries :: Update Query Peculiarity - Not All Fields Updated
Nov 18, 2013I'm mid build on a commitments tracking (pseudo Purchase Order system) project, but seem to have run into an issue with a loop I'm building to allow users to edit commitments. The idea is that an edit form is launched, values amended and the submit button is clicked. A VB subroutine then validates the entries to ensure that the mandatory entries are included. It then writes a copy of the original values to the Archive table, before attempting to update the existing commitment with the new values..
This is working perfectly, apart from the fact that 3 fields that are "updated" are being updated to a blank value..
Code:
Private Sub CommitSubmit_Click()
Dim SQLStr, LastID, DOwner, DHeading As String
Dim ErrState, Dtype, DProperty, DTCA, DITD, DSD, DED, DSP, DRetention, DRA, DRPD, DSupplier, DDOW, DStatus, DUser, DShD As String
Dim Authcheck, Complete, ErrMsg As Boolean
Dim QDF1, QDF2 As QueryDef

Field Can Not Be Updated
Apr 13, 2005I have a form based on a query I built that calculates time worked. you select the worker in a combo box which I created from a query that lists all active employees and their clock no. with clock no being the bound column. The drop down shows the workers last name, first name. When I choose a worker it always gives me a warning the the "Field can not be updated" but after i hit okay it stores everything in the correct field. Why am I getting this error? I tried using just my query and it works perfectly but when I try to use my form is where i run into problems. If you need more info let me know.
Thanks, :confused:

Identifying Updated Records
Oct 23, 2006Hi
I have my table set up to add today's date as a "date last updated" field. this works for all new records but I need to flag instances where a user has amended any existing records, so that on a daily basis I can filter out anything new based on the "date last updated".
Any ideas how I can flag changes to existing records?
Apologies if this is a straight forward question I'm fairly new to Access
Updated By User Field
Feb 19, 2008Access 2000:
There is probabily a simple function that can do this, but I'm stuck to find any explanation so I was hoping someone could help. I've tried the forum search but I guess I'm looking for the wrong thing.
I have managed access to the databse using the users/groups facility. So everyone who accesses the database has to effectively log in.
Users will be creating a record in only one table. When they save this record I need Access to automatically populate a designated field with the Users Log On name.
My question is how?
Thanks in advance for your time.
Record Not Updated In Table
Jul 2, 2007New member, so forgive me if this has been covered before:
Trying to build a Business database (more for the exercise than any desire to run a business) and have the following problem -
Have a Purchase Ordler Line table and an Item table - the item in the PO line is a lookup from the Item table - I want the PO line price to default in from the the item table.
Created the query and generated the form & subform - on screen, the substitution works, the PO line price does get picked up from the Item table, but the PO Line table does not update with this value.
Is there a soltion to this?
Any assistance gratefully accepted

Show Updated Fields
Mar 18, 2008Hello,
I have a database that has 5 linked excel files. From there I have a form that runs many different queries. I have a macro that updates the queries by running them and closing them. Occasionally I update the excel files and was wondering if there is a way to show which records were added to the linked excel files. In other words, I need to display the new records that were updated. Does anyone have any solutions? Thank you for your help in advance.
Box That Shows When A Form Was Last Updated

Updated Record Count
May 17, 2006Cant find what I am looking for on the forum so if anyone can help me or tell me what to search for that would be great...
I need one of my forms to display a running total of updated records, but only those records that the user clicks a command button on. i.e if i have a recordset of n records each time I move to the next one (by clicking a command button) I want the control on the form to display the count of those records that have been updated only.
I am assuming I would need to add some code to the after update event of the form or on click event of the command button but cant really figure out what code to write.
Any pointers?
SubForm Updated From ListBox
Sep 20, 2004I have subform which uses a SQL statement as the record source.
One of the criteria (ie. Part of the WHERE condition) is a column value from a ListBox on the MainForm.
Two problems exist:
1. When the MainForm opens, I get a "Enter Parameter Value" window, asking me to input
the value it should be getting from the ListBox. (I suppose this is fair enough, as the ListBox hasn't been
created/populated yet!)
2. When the ListBox is there, when I click on a row, I still get the "Enter Parameter Value" window!
-I'm using a Requery on the Subform's control on the MainForm when the row is clicked.
-A MsgBox within the OnClick event, is giving me the value that the SQL statement should be using!
But the Subform doesn't seem to want to 'see' this value.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
