Tables :: Keep Primary Key Consistent As Data Saved In Other Tables Will Use Field
May 1, 2014
i 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.
I have split database (B/E is in the SharePoint library, F/E has users on a local PCs). Sometimes, when I update/add data (does not matter if it is via form or directly in the table) it looks OK, but when I re-open the database, the data are gone.
Problem is that I cannot catch the moment when data were not saved (sometimes data are saved, sometimes not). I can point out this: if I re-enter the missing data, primary key continues subsequently, it looks like the data have never been entered. I tried to use script
Code: If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False
on "On Close" form event, does not work.
B/E is linked by VBA code and it looks OK (no error, Link Manager shows correct path). I suspect interrupted connetion to the SharePoint but I don't know how to check it. I implemented VBA script co keep open connection to the SP but the issue persists.
The problem I have is that in the Supervisor field, it identifies the supervisor by his/her EmployeeID. I would like to create a query or merge tables so that the SupervisorID can look for a matching value in the EmployeeID field and return the last name/first name.
I have three tables: the 1st is for product's identification, the 2nd is for registered products, and the 3rd is for under-registration products
and the primary key for the three tables is the Registration Number and there is a one to one relationship between the product identification and the registered products and a one to one relationship between the product identification and the under registration products
What I want to do is to make an append query to move the under registration product to the registered product when its process is over.
One of my problems is with the primary key for the under registration products table, as they only get their registration number when the process is over. so how can I enter data into this table without the value of the primary key ?
A have a query that selects a multivalue field. The query forms the record source for a subform. The text values in the multivalue field are displayed in the query, but when I save this and view the data in the subform datasheet view the values revert to the primary key values. They are 1,2,3,4 instead of the text values
Currently 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.
I have to tables. One named wire and the other named Input. As my title says there is not unique ID for the tables to relate.. the only thing to relate is one ID where is not unique for all the rows
In the Wire Table I have 3 rows using the same ID, lets say 123. In the Input Table I have 1 row using the same ID as above, i.e. 123
I need to select a couple of fields from Wire Table and 1 field from Input Table The only relationship I have is the ID 123.... since the ID in Wire Table is repeated in 3 rows.... I would like to use the same value from the Input Table to be the same for the 3 rows in the other table.. Below is an example:
Wire Table:
ID Group 123 A 123 B 123 C
Input Table ID Description 123 Analog
My wanted result would be
Group Description A Analog B Analog C Analog
I tried using the Left join or Join function, but somehow the resulting table has many duplicates of the rows...such as:
Group Description A Analog A Analog A Analog A Analog A Analog B Analog B Analog B Analog B Analog ...
Any Idea on whats going on and how can i solve this problem????
Is there anyway to set a calculated field as the primary key? Or how to duplicate the value of a calculated field into a new field and set the new field as the primary key?
I have imported a list from Excel into my database. The primary key is long integer (Indexed no duplicates). After the (successful) import, the next primary key assigned to a new record has jumped from (for example) 15 to 30024455. Why would this be? I have compacted and repaired the database (Access 2007) in case it was some kind of corruption but with no effect. Any primary keys on tables where I have not imported data works as expected i.e. incremented by one.
Access 2010..One organization that we work with provides us with a block of numbers for each of the two types of contract products we order from them; we do order non-contract stuff from them also.The block of numbers are the same (i.e. 20000 to 30000 this year) for each of the two products. This means that each product can have the number 20000, for example. We call this the Tracking Number. If it is one of these products, we need to select the Contract Number.
For all other one off orders we have with them, we assign our own Tracking Number starting with 00001. This Tracking Number cannot duplicate unless it is one of the aforementioned two products.Both the Tracking Number and Contract Number are in the same table. The user selects the Contract Number from a form (connected to the Contract Number table that has all the details on the contract) and the Contract Number is populated in the same table that has the Tracking Number.Each order must have a Tracking Number (no null)..Not all orders need a Contract Number (null okay).The Tracking Number and Contract Number combination cannot duplicate.I tried setting the primary keys to more than one field in the table, but they cannot have null values.
If not... I have been working on Plan B.... an AfterUpdate on the form (either the form or a field... don't know yet) that looks at a query that only has results if there are duplicate values.
I am trying to create a one-to-many relationship between these two tables. I want to be able to access the 3 fields on the [Processors] table within reports based on [AllItems]. [AllItems] is a listing of account activity where the [AccountNumber] repeats. I have every field set as the "Primary Key" on [AllItems] as that is the only way to avoid importing duplicate data. I am getting the error: "no unique index found for the referenced field of the primary table"
I inherited a database that has two tables that are structured identical; one called tblcurrentdata and the other called tblpriordata. The user wants a report or export query that only shows records that has differences between prior weeks data and the current weeks data. The tables have 12 fields of data in a record per quote number. The user wants a query or report to identify the QuoteNum and any changes between the prior and current records. The table structures are as follows:
Code:
tblCurrentData/tblPriorData: QuoteNum CoName State ZipcodeNo priorityColor
[code]...
QuoteNum 12345 field 5 (prioritycolor) changed from red in the prior week to green in the current week and field 7(POC) changed from Scott in the prior week to Jonson in the current week.QuoteNum 23451 did not have any changes therefore does not need to be listed in the query/report Unmatched query doesnt work because it does not compare multiple fields. I tried to structure a union query and use <> in each field but got too tedious and didnt give the expected results.
I'm trying to set up a saved import, but keep getting the following error message: "You cannot record your changes because a value entered violates the settings defined for this table or list (for example, a value is less than the minimum or greater than the maximum). Correct the error and try again"
There are a couple hundred fields, and they are all set to text. Is there a way to figure out where the problem is occurring without going through all fields?
The user wants to be able to click a product desription in an access table, and a picture of the product pops up. is this possible and if not, what is best way to implement this functionality?
I have a Multi user Access Database which has been split into a Front and Back end. What I am noticing is sometimes when the user enters data into the Front end form, it is not being saved in the Backend tables....
How to confirm when the user clicks save that the data is actually being saved in the backend tables.
I created a form with subforms that are all linked to their own tables. Values that are entered in to the form (i.e. just numbers or names) all save into the tables as I would expect; HOWEVER, all of my value lists (0,1,2 or 1-5) do not. I can change the values in the forms and as long as I am toggling between them they appear in the form but they are not populating the tables.
Other details. They are defined as numbers in the property table, I did change them to a value list in the form properties and did assign values to the property list.
I looked through some other threads that seemed similar but the solutions didn't apply. Because the straight up data entry saves, I feel like it is something specific to me creating those value lists...
I am trying to create a saved export on a table i have. However i want to filter so when i do the saved export it exports the table with the filtered result only.However when i filter my table and export it and save the export. The first export comes out with the filtered results but when i go to my list of saved exports and export it again, it doesnt come filtered and its just an export of the whole table.
I have our primary web based inventory system that I am exporting to Excel and using this as an import to Access for the main raw data for my database. This being inventory it changes daily so I am updating this table every day. When I try to append the table it ads all the records. I am wanting an easy way to add only the new records/take out the ones that are no longer there. Basically update the table with what is currently there.The only have I have found to do this is by running non-matching queries and update queries.
I have a field in a table that is comprised of mostly numerical data but some records are text.
I want to convert this field to numerical only and make a new field to put the textual data in.
However converting the field will delete the textual data. What is the easiest way to convert the field but save the textual data AND append the textual data to the SAME record that they were in originally in the new field?
I need to create a table with 2 sets of different information both referring to job types. the problem is that i need the autonumber which created the job number to scale together. so both tables have a primary key of "job number" and i want the autonumber to only ever use 1 number in both tables.
e.g.
job type 1 - autonumbers - 1,2,3,4,6,7,9,10 job type 2 - autonumbers - 5,8,11,12
I have mapped everything out and built it in Access (but haven't entered any data yet). My question relates to structure. The data is based on artifacts, each piece is recorded with an automatically generated primary key in the main table. There are a number of features (type, decoration etc.) that are documented in related tables (included in/linked to the main table with foreign keys). Aside from these (the features I will query on), each piece has a number of characteristics to be recorded (size, colour etc.). Because of form/table size, I have broken the information into three tables (a main table with ID details, a second with Sizing and Dimensions, and a third with Materials etc.).
My question is: Can the main ID primary key from the main ID table also be used as the primary key in the 2 other basic information tables, with these 2 linked to the main table in one-to-one relationships (so it's an auto-number in the main table and an integer in the other two). This to me would be much easier to navigate than to have one long giant table with all these basic details.
I have created a main data entry form with a "navigation form". 5 tabs/pages. Tab/Page 1 = main ID. 2 and 3 are the two broken apart tables mentioned above. 4 and 5 are forms based on related tables that have their own subforms included. Both 4 and 5 are based on tables in which the main ID primary key is entered as a foreign key (in one-to-many relationships with the main table). Since this was done with a navigation form (instead of adding each of the 4 as subforms), will it still allow me to enter all relevant details for one piece into each tab/page, and save it all together automatically (whenever I enter a new piece into the main ID form)? Will the primary key be automatically generated throughout, or do I have to enter it manually in each tab/page?
I am importing data from excel and I want to put a primary key on a column but it doesnt let me saying "primary key cant contain a Null value", coz I have a "NO" or "O" value. But i dont understand why is it a problem as I have specified the field as text not number.Also is it necessary for the table to have a key ?
Composite Primary Key in Ms Access 2010. I shall try and explain my tables in detail. So my first table is "Client Database" where the field "Buyer" is primary key. This is connected to my next table "Project Database" which has fields such as Work Order #, PO #, PO Date , Buyer etc where Work Order # is the primary key. Finally "Projects Database" is connected to Order information. Now the problem is until now, I always had 1 PO # for each Work Order #. However now I am facing a situation where my client has clubbed multiple PO #'s for the same Work Order #. I need to trigger the Primary Key Violation only if both the Work Order # and the PO # are the same.
From a table I want a text field which has a path to a file to be copied automatically into a another field of the same table with a hyperlink text type...
I have constructed a DB for work to record accidents, however I am running into problems. On each form I have a button that Saves the data closes the current form and opens the next form, depending on what data was entered. I have this ruuning fine using this code,
Private Sub SaveRecord_Click()
Dim NextForm As String
If Me.Status = "Pupil / Child" Then NextForm = "StudentDetail" Else NextForm = "EmployerDetails" End If
DoCmd.save DoCmd.Close DoCmd.OpenForm NextForm End Sub
Private Sub SaveRecord_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
Dim NextForm As String
If Me.Status = "Pupil / Child" Then NextForm = "StudentDetail" Else NextForm = "EmployerDetails" End If
DoCmd.save DoCmd.Close DoCmd.OpenForm NextForm
End Sub
The primary key of this form is "PersonKey" and the two forms taht could open, each have"PErsonKey" as a foriegn key. However the key does not get brought across into the next form and the save function does not appear to work on all forms... :confused:
I put another button on this form using the control button wizard, and it gave me this code,
Private Sub Command23_Click() On Error GoTo Err_Command23_Click
