i want to update a field of the table from a field of query .
this is the syntax :
UPDATE tbl_PresentStockAll INNER JOIN qry_BroachStock ON tbl_PresentStockAll.ProductId = qry_BroachStock.ProductId SET tbl_PresentStockAll.Broach = [qry_BroachStock].[BalanceQuantity];
but i am getting error of "operation must use an updateable query".
I'm not sure why a couple tables are not being updated after entering data. I think my relationships are correct. I've attached the database.
steps:
open Main form
add addres then try to add an owner. it doesn't work the first time but it does work the second time. add test data and that works. now if you look at the related tables (OwnerInfo, WellLocation, TestData) they all have p_id which is the wellLocation Id
now open gernalinfo form
enter in info (tests requested doesn't work right now but you can click on them in the tbl GeneralInfo)
Now if you go to the table OwnerInfo and TestData the key p_id has not been updated. But it's there in WellLocation (ID).
Why are these tables not getting updated?
I have this table "tblPreventativeMaintenance" which calculates when the next appointment for service. Stored in the field "NextDueService". I have three fields in this table. "SerialNumber", "NextDueService" & "Engineer'sReport".The whole purpose of the table above is to do the calculations.Now the results of the calculations I need them to go into another table "tblInstallations" so I can use it to show Next Due Service when there is a call out in regards to certain ready installed equipment. I have same fields in both tables.I tried update query but for some reason it didn't work or at least wasn't giving me the results I needed from it.
View 8 Replies View RelatedHi, I have the following structure:
Products 1-M ORDER DETAILS M-1 ORDERS M-1 CUSTOMERS
I have ORDER DETAILS set as a junction table so that many products can be recorded within one order. All is good apart from when i go into ORDERS and create a new order. I click the subform which links to the ORDERDETAILS. I then pick a product number(look up from products table). The problem is this: In the ORDER DETAILS I want to display the unit price of this product simply by picking the product id.
Eventually this would form the basis of an order form where I can pick Product Id and have it display unit price.
Any ideas on this one, I'm sure its quite simple!!
Thanks in advance
I have an Access db in a 3 person multi-user environment on a Windows network.
There is a "PRODUCTION" db and a "DEVELOPMENT" db.
Let's call them PROD and DEV.
PROD has the most current data, shipping records, item master, customer data, sales, etc. - but not the most current structure.
DEV has the most current struture - all the front end stuff - forms, functions, modules, etc. - but not the most current data.
The way I've handled this in the past (it seemed to work) was to take the PROD db and rename it to PRODX. Then take the DEV db and rename it PROD. Then open DEV (now called PROD) using the usual shortcut to PROD.
So now that opens fine, and I have to update all the tables from PRODX - and I mean ALL of them - since I don't really know what data has changed since the last update.If I try to delete records I get blocked by access because of all the related records (I don't have cascade delete set on every relationship). So I delete the whole table - ALL of them (this requires me to also delete the relationships). Then I IMPORT all the tables from PRODX (these have the current data). But now the relationships are all gone. It seemed at first that the relationships were back and intact - but when I last looked they were gone. So this is my problem.
HOW do I COMPLETELY empty ALL of the tables - or even delete them - and then restore them or repopulate them from an exact copy of the db but with current table data - and WITHOUT affecting the relationships?
Obviously any back end structural changes have to be handled differently. Usually by manually making the same change on the PROD db that I had in the DEV db - because deleting the table will cause the structural changes to be lost.
One last thing - I've been working this way on an un-split db, and now I'm in the process of splitting it - which SHOULD make updates much easier.
I have created a database table with 100+ fields with data. I now need to insert an additional 33 fields that will have a static default value between 1 and 33. I have already inserted the Line # field in the table between every 6 fields and gave it a default value. I now would like the existing database to update and reflect the new changes that were made for the new inserted fields.

-Parent and Student and ParentID is the Primary key as a parent may have multiple Students
-There is a form that lets me add students for a particular parent
One of the fields in the Parent Table is FeeDue. I added a field in the Parent Table called NumOfStudents..What I want to do is as follows: When a student is added on the Student Form, I want fee to be calculated automatically for display AND update the FeeDue field in Parent table. Event handler executed when a student is added (checkbox clicked)
OnClick()
{
Read NumOfStudents from Parent Table
if(student_added = true)
NumOfStudents++
else /* This is to cover student withdrawl*/
NumOfStudents--
if(NUmOfStudents = 1)
Fee= 400
else
Fee = 500
}
student_added check box is on the student form NumOfStudents and FeeDue are fields in Parent
I have a table in my DB called, devices. This contains all the information about various devices we have deployed in the field.
These devices are also contained in 2 other separate MySQL DB's.
What I need to do is add 2 additional field to my access table for the DeviceRecno and DeviceID of the same device from the MySQL DB's.
Adding the field is easy, but I cant think of a way to enter the recno and ID from the other DB's without typing them in manually for each one.
The common between them all is the serial number of the device, and I can get a list of serial numbers, recno's and ID in an excel sheet.
like a vlookup in excel to easily populate all the existing records with the recno and id's from the other db's?
When I created the access system there was no intention to link it to the other DB's for any reason, but that has now changed due to a lot of reasons.
Good Afternoon--- I'd like to use a query to update a table, however the query is based on several tables. I'm pretty sure this is possible, but I've only used a pre-existing query where this applied. Never had to build one like this from scratch.
Say for example you want to update the contact information for one record that occurs in several different tables without openning every table. I'm not sure that I should even be using a query to solve this problem, but any suggestions would save me a lot of time.
Thanks!
I have a form which will be used as the basis to print a label.
It is bound to a query and when I open the form I pass over a 'where' condition to return 1 record. I then use the query to produce a report/label.
What I want to do is to update the form/query without updating the underlying tables to the query.
Sorry this is so long but I am trying to make it as detailed as possible...
The Setup
My database is similar to the sample "Service Call" db. I have a main table called "tblTT" which has an autonumber primary key. The table also contains several foreign keys such as UserID (not an autonumber) from "tblUser", TechID (also not an autonumber) from "tblTech", etc. I have the relationships setup with "Enforced Referential Integrity" for both updating and deleting records. Each relationship has a RIGHT OUTER JOIN ("Join 3" in access) so that all records from child (tblTT) and only equal from parent (tblUser, tblTech, etc.) will be included. I have a form for nearly every table which serves different purposes but the main function of the DB is to create new Trouble Tickets (TT's), a.k.a. service calls. Therefore the main form used is my "frmTT" form in add mode. The form contains all the fields from my "tblTT" table and contains (directly) no fields from any other table (I guess indirectly it contains fields from all the parent tables...).
The Problem
When I pull up "frmTT" and try to create a new Trouble Ticket for a user that does not yet exist in the table "tblUser" I get the error "You cannot add or change a record bcause a related record is required in table 'tblUser'".
What I want is for my users (the "Techs") to be able to create a new Trouble Ticket without having to worry about populating the "tblUser" table (and other parent tables) first.
My Solution
I was going to (and unless someone can find an answer for me still will) fix this using VB script by setting up a query to check all the parent tables for the values in their corresponding fields in the form. If the query returns no results an "INSERT INTO" statement will run to populate the parents tables so that the form will save itself into the Trouble Ticket table ("tblTT").
I feel that this is a huge work around and not the proper fix. I would prefer to do this the right way both to have a correctly setup DB and for future reference. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks,
Andy
I Have a table that contains the fields: CAT, CHAPTER, ID, someSrting and Completed
CAT, CHAPTER, ID are numbers and Completed is true/false. If I mark a certain entry as Complted (true), I want all the records with the same (CAT, CHAPTER, ID) as the one I marked to be updated to Completed.
For example, If I marked the entry cat:1 chapter:1 id:1 as completed (true), I want all the entrys that have cat:1 chapter:1 id:1 to be marked as completed (true)
the code I wrote is:
Code:
Private Pub Completed_check_AfterUpdate()
Dim myCC
Dim myCat
Dim myChap
Dim myID
myCC = Me.Completed_check
myCat = Me.CAT
myChap = Me.CHAPTER
myID = Me.ID
CurrentDb.Execute "Update [my Table] " _
& "SET Completed = (" & myCC & ") " _
& "WHERE CAT = (" & myCat & ") And CHAPTER = (" & myChap & ") And ID = (" & myID & ") ;"
End Sub
I'm running the code (my clicking the "check box") and nothing happens, I was thinking that maybe I defined the after "WHERE" statement wrong, and there are 0 entrys changed..
UPDATE: after removing the
Code:
"& "WHERE..."
row, the code does update the entire table, so I have a problem with the syntax of the sql..
Have an MDE file in our equipment, it's a language data base
one of the languages isn't fully translated so I did a query to
pull out those records that equaled the English field which
brought the 1800 lines down to 218 to go over and edit.
BUT
What I am worried about, well our Software Engineers are nervous
about is my trying to udate those records via an update query
and then putting the MDE back into the machine's computer.
Is there something that I should be careful about while doing this?
I know that I shouldn't try to repair and compact as MDE just
goes bye bye when that is done, changes into an MDB file.
Appreciate any thoughts on the above,

Hi,
I've spend ages reviewing the relationships between my tables and changing my query but cannot get this to work. I've read alot of the posts on the subject also but trying to apply the suggestions to my problem hasn't worked.
It is a database of engineering drawings. A drawing can have one or more revisions. I have written code to import the drawing and revision info into the datebase so when the drawings are actually received I need to be able to add the additional data in tblReceivedDrawings such as the tracking number, date received etc.
These are my tables:
tblDrawingRegister
DrawingNum (PK)
DrawingName
tblDrawingRevisions
DrawingNum (PK)
Rev(PK)
LatestIssueDate
ElectronicCopy
OrderNum
DrawingStatus
tblReceivedDrawings
DrawingID (PK) auto-num
DrawingNum
DrawingRev
DateReceived
ActionCode
TrackingNum
I have created a query called qSelDrawingsAndRevisions which combines tblDrawingRegister and tblDrawingRevisions.
The form is based on a query called qSelIncomingDrawings. This query joins qSelDrawingsAndRevisions and tblReceivedDrawings. It shows all the records from qSelDrawingsAndRevisions and related records from tblReceivedDrawings and is joined on the drawingNum and Rev.
Adding the extra info e.g. tracking num, date received etc about drawings that are in tblDrawingsRegister works fine. However if I want to add a completly new drawing I get an error message:
"The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot find a record in the table 'tblDrawingsRegister' with key matching field(s) 'qSelDrawingsAndRevisions.DrawingNum'
How can I get it to update the drawingNum in tblDrawingRevisions and tblDrawingsRegister at the same time?
Is it an issue with my query or relationships?
Or do I need to write an OnUpdate procedure for the DrawingNum textbox so that it created a new record in the DrawingsRegister table to correspond with the one in the DrawingsRevisions table?
I have a feeling that this might be overcomplicating it and that I just need to change the query?
Am very confused about how to approach this and would really appreciate a few pointers...
I'm using an UPDATE query to update records in one table (tblMain) from another table (tblTemp)
Here is my SQL :
Quote:
UPDATE [tblMain]
INNER JOIN [tblTemp] ON [tblMain].[MainField1] = [tblTemp].[TempField1]
SET [tblMain].[MainField2] = [tblTemp].[TempField2];
I only want to update the records in tblMain which have a corresponding record in tblTemp (linked by MainField1 / TempField1)
If any record doesn't appear in tblTemp, I want tblMain to retain the existing value for that record.
However, it appears that in such situations, the record in tblMain has it's MainField2 value set to null / ZLS.
I've tried using LEFT JOIN and RIGHT JOIN and also tried WHERE clauses but the result is the same every time.
Is it possible to update a query without updating the underlying table?

I'm working on a project management database for my fathers small business. Data Entry goes as follows: Users enter a Work Order, and all the parts that must be created for that work order. The parts have different processes (tasks) done to them to be created. The database runs a simple system like this as we want it to work. I am now attempting to allow handling of more advanced work orders. Specifically, some parts require the completion of multiple other parts before they can be created.
Here is how the database should handle these events:
1) User clicks button named "requires other parts" when entering a new part.
2) On click a subform is opened that allows the user to enter which other parts need to be completed first.
3) Once all of the parts are completed the next part can begin.
This is my current solution:
1) A query calculates if a part is complete
2) Some form of logic looks up to see if all the required parts are completed. If the answer is yes, a field named ready changes to "Yes" and if the answer is no, a field named ready changes to "no"
I have a field in table A (used as my main form) that I would like to update with a unique yet understandable name. I have created a query that takes the first few characters of two other fields and the event date and concatenates them to a unique name.
Challenge is the three fields that create the unique name are in table B.
So I tried the following in query design just to see if I could update a field in the same table
Code:
Expr1: IIf(([EVENT_TBL].[EVENT]="Jacksonville" And [EVENT_TBL].[EVENT_DATE]="4/17/2011" And [EVENT_TBL].[EVENT_TYPE]="PRE-DEPLOYMENT"),([EVENT_TBL].[EVENT_TYPDTE_ID]="PREJACK170411"))
The results were #Error# in the cells.

I created an update query that says it has successfully updated 600 records, but when you go into the table, it has not been updated. I am working with an .mde. Does that make a difference?
I first created a select query to find everyone in TX. Then I changed it to an update query to change all TX to CA. Since it did not update the table, I tried running the update query again and this time it says there are not records to update (since it uppposedly updated my 600 records).
Your help is appreciated.
Hi!
The structure is like:
C query is based on 2 tables, A and B.
Then D form is created based on query C.
What I did:
Now I split table A to 2 tables, A1 and A2, which are independant from each other, and I updated query C to retrive data from A1 and A2.
Problem:
Then the form D which is based on C doesn't work properly.
Question:
Do I need to recreate a Query C because I split table A?
or do I need to recreate a From D because Query C is updated?
Thanks very much
