I have still an issue with tranfsfering data from two tabels to another two tables which have parental relationship. A while a go on this forum someone have suggested to me to use the append query but that only works to append to one table, which is not my case.
If I don't transfer these two tables together or at the same time, they will loose their relationship because of their relationship which is auto number.
I have tried to modify the append query SQL and didn't work for me. Please someone help me solve this problem or tell me other alternative way of doing this. Somone look at the following modified append query and see where I made a mistake or cannot do it this way:
I tried to modify the append query to the above format but didn't work. I even tried "inner join" to put the above table together but I could be able to make it work. Anybody knows how to solve this, please help. Thanks.
I am currently studying for my A levels and need some help with microsoft access. What I want to do is transfer information from one table in my database to another. When it transfers however, I want it to alter under a certain validation. This is what i want to do;

This is an example of the information. The letters regard to a GCSE result. I want the grade to be transfered to a table called "point score". Each grade has a value, A* = 8 points, A = 7 points, B = 6 points and so on. When the data is transfered to the point score, I want it to just state the point score and not the grade. Can anyone help?
I am still trying to solve the following problem: I am trying to transfer data from one table to the other in a different folder using the follwing command:
By using the above command I could be able to transfer "tblSanTV" table from D:DBSsewertvinsp.mdb to another table in a different folder but it transfer the table and data together. But that is not what I want to do. All I want to do is to transfer the new data from one table to existing data in another table. These tables have the same names but different field names.
I tried the following command to solve my problem, but I end up with more problems than solution:
In the above command, I was trying to import data from "D:DBSsewertvinsp.mdb", tblSanTV" table to the general database. But I want data in the field "INSPNO;MAINLINE; SAN_MH_FROM" in "tblSanTV" goes to the corresponding fields in general dabase "tblSanTV" table, fiel "INSP#, MAINLINE ID#,US MH ID#" consecutively.
I want somebody help me out with this issue. Please help me. Thanks.
i have 3 databases containing data in the same format.
basically i work in a school, and have a database for 3 different classes.
each database has a table containing the childrens details(table a), and a linked table (through primary key in table a) to targets and points scote for each week.
--table a-- child number name carer address etc
--table b-- index child number (linked)(displayed as childs name in table, but stored as a number) week starting target 1 target 2 target 3 points 1 points 2 points 3 etc
now this database has been working really well. but if ever a child has to be moved class then i need to be called to transfer the records manually (because nobody else can do it) and i have to get the records manually and copy and paste them between databases. This works fine and i've had no problems. And the auto number in table a is changed from the original. but this seems to automatically corrolate to table b when i paste that over. so everything is working fine. but.... first of all, it creates lots of work for me when kids move classes, and also if i'm not there nobody else can do it. so.... i've tried using an append query to transfer the data. I tried using 2 append queries (1 for each table). but.... it works fine for table a, but i'm having trouble with table b. the append query for table b pastes all the records into the equivalent table on the other database through searching all records related to childs name on table a, therefore retuning all records in table b for that child. the problem....... when this data is transfered it transfers table a data fine. but table b is fine except for the fact that it doesn't transfer the childs name data (number), which i can kinda understand, but from what i can understand, my queries are doing the same thing as if i was to cut and paste manually and it works fine when i do that.
ok so its all very confusing, and i hope ive explained adequetly. oh and btw, i can't put it all in 1 database, because each class may need to access the database at the same time.
I have a subform called "Earthwork". I also have a query called earthwork200 and I need to dynamically transfer data from the earthwork to the query based on a certain column.
for example, the earthwork column i am using to transfer data to the query is "Desc" (the name of the column). How do i get data to dynamically goto the query as I click on a new item under the "desc" column?
I have a tbl called table1 which has 3 fields. i have a form called form1 which list field1 for all records in table1. when i double click on field1 i want to open form2, retrieve the data from table1 using field1 as input and display the results onto form2. can this be done just using Access or do i need visual basic? i am new at Access and have not ever used visual basic. i do know java. can you tell me how to do this or suggest a book which could explain it. the access book i have does not go into this type of detail.

Any how, I have a large table of records (problem is its growing). It lists customers and dates. My table has way to many records, so i need to condense it a little bit. What i need to do is transfer contracts that have been fulfilled (by date) transfer to another table that contains records of contracts that have been fulfilled. I want to do this by a push of a button, automatically transferring any records that the date has passed to the pastcontract table.
I have three list boxes. Two of them has data from a database in them.

Does anyone know how I would go about doing this?

I've built a table and used it to build a form. One the form I have three boxes, one to enter the DoB, and two others that record the age and also put the individual into an age bracket.
In the latter two categories I have entered a formula in the Properties Box under Data & Control Source (the formulas are below) to automatically work out what the age and age bracket is when the DoB is entered. This works fine but the information isn't transferred back to the table.
Do I need to do the info in the table first and then update the form? And if so where do I enter the info in the field properties in the table design view?
Can you work out whats wrong with this I used the sample database password system and tried to add a button to enable the user to change their own password. The problem was at the time that the change password form must open displaying only their own username, this is where the complication starts where i try to transfer UserID from the menu form to the Change password form.
Hi there, this is probably a very simple problem for people with experience of Access, however i have been having problems with being able to tranfer information from a query to a table.
I have made a query which displays a number of different items with their prices and who bought them (ie. booking ID)
I have then made a query which asks for the booking ID, then once you have input that it searches the items and adds up the price for all the items which that booking ID has.
both these queries work fine. The problem i am having is that i want to transfer this total price into a table. I have been able to do this by manually typing into the sql code the price, however when i try to get the query to collect the price itselfs, it gives the error "operation must use an updateable query"
btw i am making the query as a update query,
sorry if this post is a tad long and messy, thx in advance for any help
I have set up some pivot charts in Access 2003 that open up on the click of a button. No problems. My problem now is that several PC at work are running Access 2000. Is there a way of easily getting this to work????Many thanks Eq
I have a subform within a form that displays filtered data based on dynamic selection criteria which is assigned to the RecordSource/OrderBy of the subform. On this form, I have a "Print Results" button -- OnClick, I would like the RecordSource/OrderBy of the subform to be copied to the Report, then run the report. What I have that doesn't work is:
I am creating a database but I am having a problem with one little bit (so far!!)
I have form (and table) 1 and form/table 2. When I am in table 1 (which is company details) I want to be able to click a button which will open form 2 and allow me to enter a new record of incoming mail details regarding the Co. selected in form 1.
I have made a relationship between the Company ID on both tables.
I cannot seem to work out how to make Access take the Co ID no from form/table 1 and stick it into form/table 2 when I push the button.
If my make queries in the data base and the source data base is another .mdb and the table names in the other .mdb which would be used for the queries are the same as those in the data base where the queries would be made......does anyone see any problems with that in the area of corruption or similar.
The queries made would be indentical to their counterparts in the data base where they are made and would serve the same purpose.
It would be a toggle type of thing whereby the recordsources for the forms in question would be changed.
For what I want to do it works perfectly but I am not sure if there would be problems that would only surface with longer term use and varied conditions as opposed to some short term testing.
I have data from a survey with qualitative responses. For a single qualitative question, I moved the ID & responses into a new table and categorized the response according to a bucket/theme, where each column is a new bucket. I now have 10 columns. Each response is represented in 1 or more columns. I used an excel formula to copy the response data into the column itself.
Example:
A1 // B1// C1 // D1// E1//... L1 ID // Response // Cats // Dogs // Elephants //.... Column 10 1 // I like cats // I like cats //(null)//(null)// ... (null)// 2 // I like cats and dogs // I like cats and dogs // I like cats and dogs //(null)//..// 3 // etc.
However, now I'm realizing that Access always wants to show data for all records, or at most I can limit using a WHERE clause in my query.I want to use Access to generate this report:
1. Section 1: Show all responses from the Cats bucket where there is data 2. Section 2: Show all responses from the Dogs bucket where there is data 3. and so on
I know how to do summary values, and I know how to do filtering that apply across the whole report, but this seems like more advanced filtering, where I want to see selective details differently for each field.
First I would like to give thanks to all the knowledgeable folks here who have helped me with my DB to date. It is working and every one is very happy and I have learned a lot.
So now I would like to add some more functionality to this existing project.
My DB is for data input of customers for a drawing. It has the following fields: Id, account number, first name, last name, date/time, score1, score2.
I t is taking a great deal of time for the users to enter in hundreds of entries a day. Most of the entries are customers who are already in the DB. I would like to get the fields to auto fill the data for existing customers say after the account number is entered. So after you put in the account the name and any other pertinent data would shows up saving users from typing it in again.
The first problem I am having is that this is still a data entry form and I can’t figure out how to be able to see the account information and still add new data to the record? The new data is a daily score they get.
Second I haven’t figured out how to call up the customers information from just the account field.
I’ve googled this and haven’t found anything terribly helpful.
i would like in a form for a combo box to be able to select an item from a table and input relating information automatically into other boxes in the form..
I have 3 tables: Table 1 has product code and product description. Table 2 has invoice number company details, address etc. Table 3 has product code and product description qty and invoice number.. Table 3 relates to table 2 by the invoice number and table 3 product code looks up the product codes available in table 1 and also table 3 looks up the list of products descriptions in table 1 using the combo wizard. This means the wrong code can be put with wrong description. What i would like to know is how i select a product description and the product code in the form fills out automatically?? i hope this makes sense please helppppp!!
I an trying to create a data entry form (IndividualsEntryFm) to input data for fields such as (First Name),(Birthdate) etc., these to be saved to the (IndividualsTbl)
I also have another table (NamesTbl) which has family names etc. The two tables are linked by a (MainID) field. I want a combo box on the individualsEntryFm so that I can select the family name. Then I wish the empty fields for the IndividualsTbl to be available to enter data.When I press the save button I then want this data saved, together with the MainID from the combo box to the IndividualsTbl.
I have set the IndividualsTbl with a (PersonID) field as an auto number each individual therefore has a unique PersonID but may well share the MainID. I'm trying to link many people to the same address.
I want to use the same form in datasheet mode for data entry and retrieval. When retrieving, all controls are disabled and locked. I am trying to enable and unlock them for modifying but that isn't working.
I would like to filter data from a table using a query (from an data input form). The objective is to output all results if input form field is empty and to output results higher or equal to the type in the field if field is not Null. The query code is as follows:
I am using Excel/VBA as a frontend and Access backend. The sheet2 stores the queue name and Queue number. We have to update the sheet1 from column L to column O by looking for the values from the Access table for the date selected from the comboboxes. Now In sheet 2 , it says Queue number and in actual in access table it is the combination of Type & Type1 & Type2. So we have to look for Type & Type1 & Type2 in the table and find out total Batches ,Total Envelopes,Total documents and total pages and then store the values in the ExcelSheet1 from column L to column O.
The following formulas will be used in the select statment:
Total Batches = count(BatchNo) for date selected Total Envelopes=sum(Envelopes) for date selected Total Documents=sum(Cases) for date selected Total Pages=sum(Pages) for date selected
