Tables :: Getting Relationship Error When Try To Change Datatype

Oct 15, 2014

I'm in datasheet design view and I'm trying to change the data type of a cell and add a lookup. When I try to change the datatype I get an error which says I need to remove a relationship first - except I did. I deleted all the relationships, saved and closed the relationship view and closed and reopened the table.

Tables :: Selective Operation Of DataType Mismatch Error

Aug 22, 2014

I have a table 'Project Details' to which I have recently added a new field 'Last Invoice issued'. This field is a text field with a lookup and will default to 'No' for new records being added. When the related record is updated in my 'Invoices' table, I have set up a query to change 'Last Invoice Issued' to yes. This is all working fine, but it requires all the records in 'Project Details' to contain 'No' already in order for it to work. As there are over 1000 records in 'Project Details' I made a list in Excel of the right number of no's and copied it in. Most records were fine with the exception of 127. I can edit any of the other fields from the 'Project Details' datasheet or my data entry form, but when I try to edit one of the 127, I get a DataType mismatch error. I can't understand since the records are all in one table and have exactly the same DataTypes set up for each field, why I can edit some and not others? Is there some other place where DataType can be set up that may affect some records and not others?

I have tried to copy my table to post here but when I do that, I get a 'Index or Primary Key cannot contain a Null value' error due to the (New) record having the default values already in but the primary key not being filled until I save,.

Tables :: Change Table Relationship Column

Aug 18, 2013

When I originally created my access database, I used a text field/column to connect 2 tables together. I would like to change this to reference the Primary Key/ID column instead of the text field.

Is there an easy way to go about doing this? My original thought was to create some vba code to replace the data in the column of the sub table with the autonumber in the primary table but I cannot figure out how to do it.

Automating A Datatype Change

Feb 1, 2006

When I export or do a make table query from Oracle to Access, the new table has some of the datatypes changed. Many of my numberic fields are decimal instead of Long Interger. I then need to go and manually cahnge them back. If I forget or miss one, it crashes another application we use.

Has anyone come up with a solution to automatically go through the table structure and change the datatype from one format to another? This would be a great help.

I am using Oracle 9i and Access 2002.

Thanks for you time

Runtime Error '3464':Datatype Mismatch

Apr 14, 2005

order_id is an autonumber key field form table Orders_table. Is is also selected in the row.source for the form I am using.
ComboOrder_ID is a combo box that looks up the order_id from the table with a SELECT...
... So I think the two should be the same datatype!

When I set the order_id in the combo the event procedure runs I get the following debug error:-
Runtime error '3464':
Datatype mismatch in criteria expression

This is the code for the after event on that combobox:
[code]
Private Sub ComboOrder_ID_AfterUpdate()
' Find the record that matches the control.
Dim rs As Object
Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone
rs.FindFirst "orders_table.order_id = '" & Me![ComboOrder_ID] & "'"
If rs.NoMatch Then MsgBox "it's the <find> that is broken" Else Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
End Sub
[end code]
Any help is much appreciated
Thx.
Kev.

Tables :: Change Duplicate Values Error Message

Aug 14, 2013

How to control the below message to something like this through VBA:

"The Job: " & JobNumber & " already exists in the table." or to open an alternate form where they can make the change. Allowing duplicates is not appropriate for what I am trying to accomplish. I just want a friendly way of rerouting a user to understandable answer.

instead of this:

"The changes you requested to the table were not successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primary key, or relationship. Change the data in the field or fields that contain duplicate data, remove the index, or redefine the index to permit duplicate entries and try again."

How To Prevent Datatype Conversion When Importing Tables From Excel????

Feb 23, 2005

I'm building a database at work to see if we can replace some of the "buhzillion" spreadsheets we currently use to track data on sites and employees across the country. I've set up the primary excel tables the way I want to import them, but Access keeps converting my Employee Numbers (mostly 7 digit numbers, "text" format in excel) to scientific notation during the import process and then giving me errors because my primary key "EmployeeNumber" has duplicates. How do I tell Access to import these as text instead of numbers? I'd really like to not have to type in data for 100+ employees and over 1000 sites, you know?

Thanks in advance.

User-defined Datatype In A Sql Server Attached Tables

Dec 5, 2006

Hi all,I'm trying to attach some table from a Sql Server database, but when I take a look to the content, I see all the fields filled by the value "#CANCELLED".I supposed that the matter of such an issue could be the datatype used for some fields, a user-defined datatype. The only table content from the same Sql Server database I can see does not use that data type. I'm using a read-only account to access the Sql Server database. If I try to import the table, the data are imported correctly and the user-datatype is converted to text.Any suggestions for a solution / workaround ?Thanks Bye

Tables :: Calculated Fields From Two Tables / Based On Relationship In Third Table

May 29, 2014

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.

Tables :: New People Added In Table1 Not Showing Up In Other Tables Despite Relationship

May 5, 2013

I have 3 tables.

Table 1: contains staff names and contact numbers
Table 2: contains training above staff have been on or need to go on
Table 3: contains pc and printer asset numbers of above staff

I used a form and entered some new members of staff in table 1. They got their auto numbers etc but when I open table 2 and table 3 those new members are not showing up in those tables. I have checked the relationship status between the 3 tables and the staffID from Table 1 is associated to table 2 and to table 3.

What's stopping the new entries from showing up in tables 2 and 3 ?

Leaving Subform Error With Relationship

Feb 27, 2006

Hey guy im kinda new to this program so excuse me if my question is simplistic:I built a form for making Purchase orders. In the main form...a user enters a bunch of text/num info (name, address, ect)into the table. After that i have it tab to a subform..where a user can add items by line (as many as they like). All good till here: Once i go to click out of the subform...i get message "You cannot add or change a record b/c a related record is required in table 'UCT_Req'"My relationship has a 'one-to-many' link (the req number to the many line items). I have auto-numbers counting up in each table.My main problem seems to be attaching the entered line items to a specific record in the main Purchase order form...and then opening a fresh form afterwards. Any hints?Thanks folksSTeve

Tables :: Cannot Create Relationship Between 2 Tables

Sep 9, 2013

I've only just started using Access 2007 at my new job. I've been asked to create a database that will show appointments for all 10 of the employees. I have created a table for the main schedule (where ill put all the data) then one for each of the employees. I've managed to link the tables no problem but it wont let me create and updating relationship. It keeps saying "no unique index found for the referenced field of the primary table". How do I fix this?

I want it to automatically update the date, time, location, customer name and description, if its changed on the main schedule for a certain appointment on the corresponding employees schedule.

Tables :: Define Relationship Between Tables

Sep 19, 2013

I am trying to define a relationship between tables. However, the unique nature of my data doesn't seem to be allowing typical relationships. I am not sure if I need to somehow create a relationship (junction table?) or just keep things as they are. Do I need a Foreign Key? FYI, I am only querying the data - no updates.

I have two tables that I am able to join by using a field in Table1 tied to a portion of a field in Table2. No other columns in either table can reliably relate the two tables. For example:

Table1.ColA has a 5 character string.
Table2.ColA has a 10 character string.

I need to match Table1.ColA to Table2.ColA where the first five characters in Table2.ColA match Table1.ColA.

This match, produces 1 to Many results (for every Table1.ColA string, there are 1 to many Table2.ColA records that match.

IMPORTANT FACTORS:
- Table1 contains data at a SYSTEM level.
- Table2 contains the parts that make up the "SYSTEM" in Table1
- The PARTS in Table2 can be in 1 to many SYSTEMS from Table1
- Table1.ColA is not unique by itself (it's part of a composite PK in Table1).
- Table2.ColA is not unique by itself (it's part of a composite PK in Table2).

Relationship Between Two Tables

Jan 17, 2006

Hi,

I have a db with two table.
Table1 Trade has the following among other fields: RefNo (autoNo) PK, TradeDate, HostName, Methodology, etc.

Table2 Market has the following among other fields: MarketDate as Date ( ), USD/EUR_Rate, USD/CHF_Rate, USD/BRL_Rate, etc.

I need to link both tables so that the TradeDate correspondes to the MarketDate. what is that say on TradeDate if it is on 15/01/06 I can see what the Market values for the MarketDate corresponding to that TradeDate.

I tried to link MarketDate as PK on Market table2 to TradeDate on Trade Table1.
It seems to work but it does not seem right as sometimes I get errors in entering data, etc on the Market table2.
The MarketDate is unique meaning only one data of values for a given date, they can be modified but not duplicated.

Can anyone help, on the best solution for the links to work?

Thanks

Two CBO's And Tables Relationship

Feb 27, 2008

I feel confused about something and I have the need for assistance because solving this small thing would make my life easier. I very much appreciate you taking the time to read this.

I'll focus in on a small part of my database:

----------------
| tblBreakpoint|
----------------
| BreakpointId |
| Remarks |
| ... |
----------------

each Breakpoint can have only one Module and a Module can have many Breakpoints

----------------
| tblModule |
----------------
| ModuleId |
| ModuleName |
| .... |
----------------

each module can have only one Function and a Function can have only one module

----------------
| tblFunction |
----------------
| FunctionId |
| FunctionName |
| ... |
----------------


I want to normalize my database as much as possible.

I will make a make a form for Breakpoint containing two comboboxes. The top combobox will contain all Modules and I want the second combobox to contain only the Functions that are related to the selected Module from the first combobox.

I know this can be programmed, that's how I do it now: in the onChange-event of the first combobox, I load the content of the second combobox.

However: what I would like to know specifically 3 things:
--> what is a common way to solve this?
--> Is there a way to solve this using just table-relationships? (drop 2 cbo's on the form and with correct relationships access populates the second and/or the first automatically)
--> What are the correct table relationships for this and therefore what missing ID's (used for relationships) have to be filled in in the above 3 tables?

Relationship Between 2 Tables

Oct 23, 2005

Hi:

Tables:
I have 2 tables, there are same fields: Name, Date, and Invoice #

I make a relationship between 2 tables, connect Name, Date, and Invoice #
And click "Enforce Referential Integrity", "Cascade Update Related Fields", and "Cascade Delete Related Records".

One-to-One.

After that, I go table 1, create a record, then close it, then open table 2, the record I created in the table 1 is NOT over there. Does the relationship create record? It only update and delete. What about Add ?
Please let me know about it. Thanks.

2 Tables, No Relationship, Need To Join

Dec 20, 2004

First time user!!!

I work for the school dist. and we have 2 tables for 2 different groups.
I need to pull data from them both and create a new Query.
Example
Table 1:
Name, address, phone

Table 2:
Name, address, phone

(No similarities in ether database, and we'd like to NOT export data)

I'm hoping it's an easy fix that I've overlooked.
