Tables :: Copying Data From Fields To Another?
Dec 5, 2013I have a field that has a description of the project I'm working on, which has client information on it. I want to take all 600 of those records and copy them to fields in the same table, so that I can remove the client information, which will allow me to pull whichever of those two I need when I run a query.

May 28, 2013I want to be able to copy the data within a selected field and then place it into a fresh database is this easily done?
my second questions is i have several fields which need to be merged into one 'Address' field as currently i have data with Building Name, Number, Line1, Line2, Line3, County, Town, Country. This is required to be merged into one field how would i do this?
Not all fields have data is there a way to put a space between each of the current fields when merged as well?
Tables :: Copying Data From Union SQL View
May 1, 2014I'm trying to create an access table (with a Primary key) that loads in the data from a Union SQL view.
Im hoping there is a way of achieving this? Ive tried an append and create table queries which copies the data but still no primary key.
I've created a blank table with the fields i want but cant think how to import the fields from the view into it?
Am i better off loading the view into excel?

Tables :: Normalize Existing Table Containing Data And Copying PK Value To FK In New Table
Nov 21, 2014I 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.
Blank Spaces In Data Fields After Copying Data With SQL
Apr 14, 2007Hello there, I'm having a problem very much like the one described by this user (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=113742&highlight=SQL+blank+spaces) where an SQL statement I am using to read data from one table and copy it to another is filling the remaining field space with blanks.
I didn't notice until a VBA module I worked on later on which was to read data from the new table and copy the selected record into a form said it could not find the records. The code:
Do Until blnFound = True Or rs.EOF
'DEBUG: answer = MsgBox("ok", vbYesNo)
'DEBUG: MsgBox rs("Account Name")
If rs("Account Name") = strAName Then
MsgBox "DEBUG: FOUND " & rs("Account Name")
blnFound = True
End If
rs.MoveNext
Loop
The record selector just goes straight to EOF because rs("Account Name") never matches strAName (as strAname has all those damned spaces after the useful data).
I wondered if perhaps there was some way to use the code in the other thread to read the length of useful data and then chop off the garbage spaces afterwards, but I'm worried it would be incredibly slow when running through the thousands of records. Also, the field has legitimate spaces in between words (most of the account names are two or three words in length).
The SQL statement responsible is as follows:
strASQL(i) = "INSERT INTO " & strTableName & "([CAccount No], [Short Name], " & _
"[Account Name], [Telephone], [Fax], [Contact Name], " & _
"[Mail address1], [Mail address2], [Mail address3], [Mail address4], " & _
"[Analysis1], [Analysis2], [Analysis3])" & _
" SELECT [CAccount No], [Short Name], " & _
"[Account Name], [Telephone], [Fax], [Contact Name], " & _
"[Mail address1], [Mail address2], [Mail address3], [Mail address4], " & _
"[Analysis1], [Analysis2], [Analysis3] " & _
"FROM tblCustomer WHERE [" & strField(i) & "] LIKE '" & strValue(i) & "';"
strASQL, strField and strValue are arrays and this SQL statement runs in a loop, as this is part of a search form for multiple possible entries. It all works fine except it always adds those damned spaces :D
Any suggestions?? Cheers.
Copying Tables In 2007
Dec 21, 2007has anyone had a problem with copying tables from one database to another -- it used to be so easy by just dragging from one database to another but in 2007 this isnt possible -- it seems to want to delete records rather than copy over - am i missing a setting to allow this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedCopying A Set Of Records Across Several Tables To Same Tables With A Few Changes
Apr 8, 2015There is one main policy table, and a collection of related tables that store information associated with each of the policies (coverage amounts, agents, etc). What I'm struggling with though is where they renew every so often (most times it's each year, but some go three or more years). Because I need the database to show everything EXACTLY as it was on each policy term, even expired ones, I don't want to just edit the existing records when policies renew; I need to create a copy of the ENTIRE record (across all related tables), but with a new PK, and the ability for users to change a few items, such as the policy number and effective dates.
There are two keys that I use to identify policies: one is the PK, which is an auto# that will need to change, and the other is a small text ID set when the policy is first issued, in order to make sure that even when policy numbers change from year to year, we can always track the history, so of course that one will need to remain the same. If I have the user click a "Renew" button on the policy view form that goes to a small form that takes what changes I want to allow and converts those into variables, could I then use those variables in a query, and have it copy all of these related records, with the other tables taking the new PK from the main table to keep the overall policy record linked?
Tables :: Copying A Table From One Linked DB To Another
Dec 3, 2013I am looking to copy one exceptionally large table to another. I can use VBA to copy the entire Report2013.accdb to Report.accdb while compacting at the same time. This is very fast and works well. However once it's copied I need to rename the table tblReport2013 to tblReport. None of these table are in the accdb that I am running the scripts from FrontEnd.accdb. I am working very hard to keep the data tables under the 2 GB limit, which is why linking and keeping the data separate is necessary. There is the chance that Report2013 will be on the network while tblReport will be local to the user, and may or may not be a subset of the Report2013.
I have considered a number of options:
DoCmd.Rename - I can't seem to tell it a database location
I could try
docmd.copyobject - and see if it keeps the file size the same or smaller then the original.
I could just write the sql statement and copy the data that way, and compact the table afterwards. The trouble with doing the transfer that way is hitting the 2GB limit, before I can compact/compress the newly imported data.It just seems odd to have to find another solution when all I really want to to rename a table and ensure the new new is still linked as a separate table.

Tables :: Keep Primary Key Consistent As Data Saved In Other Tables Will Use Field
May 1, 2014i have 4 supplier tables with identical field names but different databases in sql.I want to have them all in one table and only want the information for reference i do not want to edit any of the data.I need to create a new primary key number for the complete table. The data will need to be refreshed as the data comes from MMS Sage looking at company PLsuppliers.
I have tried a linked SQL union view- but this has no primary key.I need to keep the Primary key consistent as the data saved in other tables will use this field.The overall goal is creating a Purchase order system and this list will be my complete supplier list.
Copying The Structure Of Forms And Tables And Their Associations?
Sep 8, 2011I have a psychology project where we soon use a questionnaire on a daily basis (maybe 80 variables per day per subject). Currently, there is no data in the database.
I've managed to create a table called day1 (with 80 day1 variables) and a form that looks like the questionnaire we want to use (and linked apropriately to the variables in the table for day1).
What is an easy way of duplicating the table and form for successive days? That is, i want the structure of the day1 table copied to another table (call it day2). It has exactly the same variables except they are slightly different to differentiate them from day1. I would like the form for day2 to have exactly the same layout as the form for day1, but link to the variables in table 2.
I know i could just couple the day1 table, change the variable names slightly, and then copy the form for day1 and change the links to point to table2, but there are many assessments (18 days).
Tables :: Linking Field Data Between Tables And Within Tables
Sep 26, 2012Currently trying to build a database for customer management and order placement/tracking. Want to set a couple of rules so that if I for instance click yes of billing and shipping address the same that the database will automatically fill the shipping address with the data I inputted for the billing address in the same table.
The other issue I can see I'll run into is, I want to be able to select one of the company ID's (made up of a three letter abbreviation of the full company name) in the product ordering table and it will automatically fill in the rest of the customer data (phone, email, address etc) data into that form.

Copying Data Between Fields!
Jan 19, 2006I have already asked this question before, but only one person responded, and it was not what I was looking for.
I would like to create a code that takes(copies) each record's data from a field and paste it into another existing field within the same table. I have about 2000 records... Your help will be highly appreciated.
It will have to be a VBA code or macro because I have to alter the strings that are copied before they are pasted into the other field.
Copying Data In One Table To Another-how To?
Jan 12, 2007Hi:
I am looking for some guidance in doing the following:
I have a tableO that contains a list of objects that have associated attributes, specifically a list of system_names (object) and the associated attributes (additional fields in the table) that include port_name, port_direction. Think of each one of the records as a template that will supply data to another table, called the Instance table (tableI). The concept is that the user can populate the template with various objects and associated ports, and direction.
The table cols are;
PK|FK|system_name|port_name|port_direction|
The data for this table is manually entered via an associated form.
At some later time, the user want to make a copy of an object(e.g. a record in tableO) by populating Table I (the instance table). The first few fields of tableI are named identical to tableO. Table I contains additional fields that further refine the template, by adding a object_property field, and a port_direction_property field.
Table I looks like:
PK|FK|system_name|port_name|port_direction|prop1|p rop2
The forms interface allows the user to fill in the fields in the TableI (intance table) directly, or, lets the user scroll through the list of objects in the template table, and chose a template, copy the fields:system_name|port_name|port_direction into the same fields in table I, and then add values to prop1 and prop 2 manually.
I made the combo box control that will list the objects from the object column of the template table (table O) and make the desired selection. I have a radio button adjacent to the combo box that when clicked, will copy the selected record and designated fields from the template object table (tableO), into the same fields of the instance table (table I). The instance table is displayed on an adjacent form.
After the fields are copied to the instance table, the user can type in the data into the additional fields (e.g. prop_1, prop_2), and complete the record.
I do not know how I can do the 'copy' from tableO to table I when the radio button is pushed. I know to allow an action when the radiobutton is 'clicked'. Table O and tableI are not currently related.
Can you provide some guidance?
Thanks a lot for your time

Copying Data Without The Header Row
Apr 6, 2008Hello All,
Does anybody know a away of copying access data into other applications without the header row. An example being if you copy access data into excel it includes the header row in the spreadsheet. I often have to copy access data into industrial application software but usually paste into excel first (to get rid of the header rows) then from excel into the application. I would like to eliminate this step if I could but not sure how to copy without the header row.
Regards
Daryl

Copying Data On A Subform
Jul 2, 2006HI all,
i have a form THE OREDER FORM and on it there is a subform that stores a list of codes and corresponding products for a particular order.
Now what happens is that sometimes ORDERS have the same product codes, so what I wish is to see if it is possible in same way or another to copy the data on the subform to create the next record as the previous one, and thus avoiding re-choosing all the products.
any help and ideas will be appreciated thanks
Copying Data Between Forms
Dec 14, 2006This is surely just going to be a simple dim statement or code.I have 2 forms, one is plancontrol and the other is contacts. The plancontrolform holds a record of contacts for different forms - the contacts form is merely a seperate form to choose which contacts you want to add. (it was to messy keeping it all on one)The contacts form uses cascading combo boxes to choose a contacts. This all works fine but after a contact has been chosen, i want to (through a command button) add it to a viewable list. Once the user has selected all the contacts they want they can close the contacts form. The names will be automatically entered into the plancontrol form. This is not my normal type of database as it is linked to Otulook, therefore some of the rules i abide by i cannot!!Any ideas? Should i (and how do i) keep adding the names to plancontrol as i go along, or just do it all in one go at the end? p.s. plan control is a continous form.thanksKev

Ok, so in the frist screenshot the green box is based off of the table labelled 3. The red box is comprised of the InvoiceID from table 1, ProductID from table 2 and name/price is drawn from table 3.
The green box is used to view products, the red is an invoice. How do I add the currently viewed product (in this case, a case) to the invoice? I need to copy the product ID from table 3 to table 2. How do I go about this?
Many thanks! :D
