hello!
I'm wondering how would I, in Access, make a query that would let me do a UNION and then insert that data into a table?
Is there a way that I could achieve that in one(1) query?
I've tried with INTO, but I get an error.
(i'm using access 2000-2003)
thanks!
I am writing the following query to insert data in tblpostroom from another table. Both the tables have same field names like Date1,582,1810.Now If I run the following query then in the fields 582,1810 of tblpostroom , the data gets stored 582,1810 respectively for all the records. But in actual fields 582 and 1810 store different data.
Code:
INSERT INTO tblpostroom ( Date1, 582, 1810 )
SELECT Date1, 582, 1810
FROM Sheet1;
I have a Union query that is linked into about 10 different excel spreadsheets on our drive and it pulls back only 3 columns of data (Document Number, Date Registered and Date Implemented). I then have another report which refers to the results of this query and does its own thing from thereon.
Here is a sample of the SQL:
SELECT CINT(RIGHT(RT_01000.[Rev-Trac Number],5)) as [Document Number], RT_01000.[CC_RT Issue Date] as [Date Registered], RT_01000.[Actual Delivery Date] as [Date Implemented] FROM RT_01000;
UNION SELECT CINT(RIGHT(CC_RT_01000.[Rev-Trac Number],5)) as [Document Number], CC_RT_01000.[CC_RT Issue Date] as [Date Registered], CC_RT_01000.[Actual Delivery Date] as [Date Implemented] FROM CC_RT_01000;
My Issue:
As it is above, the query will run, but we end up with duplicate numbers in the "Document Number". It only brings back the final 5 digits from each of these files and ignores the differenciating part of the number, the "CC_RT_" or the "RT_". This causes huge issues in the file which then goes onto use these results afterwards.
My Plan: (failed)
I thought I could simply update the "5" to an "11" to catch anything named "RT_00001" and also "CC_RT_00001" serperately so I can clearly see which is which without any duplicates. However, I recieve the below error when doing so:
"Data type mismatch in criteria expression".
I've been playing with this for hours and unfortunately many many reports reply on these results being correct. It is also not possible to change the names of the RT and CC_RT files that it links into.
I have 5 tables in access 2010, 4 of them have data in them and I need to populate the 5th table with all data from the 4 tables. I know you have to create a Union query, but i dont know the sql statement
Table 1 - data
table 2 - data
table 3 - data
table 4 - data
table 5 - combine data from table 1, table 2, table 3, table
I have a form which saves to a database correctly. It has a key field name called "code".
I can recall the data into a copy of the first form to edit by using the key field "code".
All works well, however, when I click save data from the edit form it does not alter the original data but creates another form but with the same key field called code.
I have a form that uses a text box to search for a specific record in a table.(Cotton12) This works perfectly. What I would like to implement however is if the user so wishes he can edit the data he is shown, whithout editing the actual data in cotton12 and then with this new info create a new record in cotton13.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a frontend and a backend database. As usual i keep the tables in the backend. Now I have some tables which need to be emptied and then refilled. I empty the table using the code
Code:
DoCmd.RunSQL "DELETE * FROM TransNMTbl;"
then I fill in the table using
Code:
DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO TransNMTbl SELECT * FROM TransTbl;"
The code runs fine. The problem is that the linked table is not used and the sql statement creates another TransNMTbl table in the front end and puts the data there. Bu I need the table to be in backend.
I am trying to create a form on Infopath 2007 based on a table in access 2007. I want my users to be able to fill in this form and submit it back to me in such a way that it will directly populate the table in the database. I know I can do this. However, I am unable to modify the infopath that access 2007 creates from the table. I want to change the date format. By default it takes up the date as "date and time" and I want it to be the date only.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an application set up as follows:
Live front end in one network folder, accessible by all users.
Development front end in another folder accessible only by myself (changes imported into Live as and when necessary).
Back end in another folder accessed by both front ends.
One of the tables contains orders made by various people. The way the data entry form is set up is that, once a person's ID has been entered, all previous orders are displayed in a sub form at the bottom of the screen.
I'm noticing that, if two people are entering new records into it via two different PCs, it sometimes happens that one person can see an inserted record, only for it to later vanish from both the form and the underlying table. There is no pattern to these 'disappearances', but it's obviously concerning.
Possibly more worrying is that, from time to time, all records for the person being updated are being lost, not just the most recent entries being made.
I have the database set to Record Level Locking. Can anyone suggest anything else I should be looking out for or should have done?
The only other thing I can think of is that I sometimes enter records from the development version, while it is open in development mode, with just the data entry form being out of design mode. Would that make a difference? If so, why?
I'm stumped here.:confused:
This one is very annoying...
i have a button that is supposed to update a record based on the record id. when i click the button, it not only updates the record, but it also creates a new record with just the default values i have set for the table. no other values are entered into the table. here is the code that is relevant to the problem:
Code:Dim DAOdb As Database Dim DAOrs As dao.Recordset Dim sSQL As String Set DAOdb = CurrentDb() sSQL = "Select * from StopwatchRecord where StopwatchRecord.ID=" & Me.hidID & ";" Set DAOrs = DAOdb.OpenRecordset(sSQL) With DAOrs .Edit .Fields("StartTime") = Me.StartTime.Value .Fields("EndTime") = Me.EndTime.Value .Fields("ElapsedTime") = Me.ElapsedTime.Value .Fields("Comments") = Me.Comments.Value .Update End With MsgBox "Record Saved" DAOrs.Close DAOdb.Close
Please help! this is driving me nuts
thanks

I am trying to issue multiple INSERT statements in a row - but it seems that only the first succeeds. If I put a 1-second delay between attempts, suddenly they all succeed (so I know the statements themselves are all valid, it's not a data issue).
These are all being issued in a loop from the same thread, so as far as I can see unless the data is being inserted asynchronously, I can't see any problem. If it is being done asynchronously - how are we supposed to know one INSERT succeeded and thus we can issue the next one?
Anyone have any idea why this might happen? I don't want to leave 'magic delays' in the code!
Hi All,
I have been searching and can't seem to find how to solve my problem. I have a sub form that allows adding new rows to a database. The detail contains a combobox and a few text fields. When I enter data everything works fine. However when I accidently tab into the next row (new blank row) and then try to get out of the form without adding a new row I get an error about "Index or Primary Key cannot be null" or something like that.
It is very frustrating because I can't exit the form until I add data to the new row and then leave without tabbing to much (thus creating another new row with no data).
How do I trap the new row and only allow the insert if it has data in it?
Thanks.
I'm having a problem with a UNION / UNION ALL query.It seems there is a application crash fault when running the query that MS are aware of and have issued a hot fix. Unfortunately it will take my IT dept some time to check and install the hot fix If they agree to do it at all.

Problem Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: MSACCESS.EXE
Application Version: 12.0.6606.1000

Hi All,
I have a Union query that brings together several tables into one. This works perfectly well however there is an occassion when a field in one table has its data type changed to text from date. This is to allow N/A to be entered rather than a date. When this occurs the union query changes all the dates from the other tables to text also and therefore other queries I am running based on the Union query now fail.
Is there any way to have the Union Query ignore the data from the table where and when this this occurs as it is not necessary to show in the query and can happen with any of the tables at a users discretion
Thanks Again

I ran into errors recently when I tried running a large UNION query (about 6,900 news articles) in a desktop Access database, that will eventually be migrated to SQL Server. I've got two tables, each having the same typed fields. I joined then through the following query:
SELECT ID,Name,Body FROM Table1 UNION SELECT ID,Name,Body FROM Table2;
The problem was that in the resultant table containing the conjoined records, one of the fields (Body, a MEMO field) copies only the first 250 characters or so, truncating the rest of the data.
I was thinking this might have something to do with telling Access how to type the data when copying it over. Is there a way to explicitly tell a query the data type of each field to be used so that the data can be copied over properly?
Thanks!
I'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?
I searched the internet and this forum for the answer to this. I did find the exact question posted in this forum way back in 2002 but there was no reponse...
When updating an Excel Pivot table using an Access Union Query as it's source, I receive the message "[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Too Few Parameters".
I found a rather elegant solution here (http://groups.google.co.uk/group/microsoft.public.excel.querydao/browse_thread/thread/1ca76034adc10c1a/204261bda38c118c) Unfortunately, this appears only to work for Access 2003. Does anyone have a solution for Access 2000?
Perhaps I should insist that our IT department upgrade. :p
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I have a UNION of two SELECT queries. It works very well but I need the end-user to be able to modify the data so I am using INSERT INTO tablename. This will work for one query at a time but if I try to use the UNION it reports “Syntax error in FROM clause”. Can you use UNION in this case or can anyone see my error?
The full statement is rather complex, I have added a few spaces and linebreaks to make it readable as follows:
INSERT INTO TableCompleteForMailing
SELECT [Address List].[FamilySurname] AS Surname,
[Address List].[DEARFirstnames] AS FirstName,
[Address List].[Mailing] AS Mailing,
[Address List].[Christmas Mailing] AS OtherMailing, [Address List].[Address 1] AS Address1,
[Address List].[Postcode] AS Postcode
FROM [Address List]
UNION
SELECT [Names].[LastName] AS Surname,
[Names].[FirstName] AS FirstName,
[Names].[MailingList] AS Mailing,
[Names].[Selected] AS OtherMailing,
[Address List].[Address 1] AS Address1,
[Address List].[Postcode] AS Postcode
FROM [Names],[Address List]
WHERE [Names].[AddressListID]=[Address List].[AddressListID]
ORDER BY Surname, FirstName;
I have a table with a field I want to update with the value of a Union Query
The field I want to update is Yes/No format and I can update using 0 or -1 OK.
However, when I link in the union query (and check that I only have 1 update result which is either 0 or -1) I get an error message saying that Operation must use an updatable query.
I guess this is referring to the Union Query (although I am trying to update the table and not the query.
In short - I want to update a table based on the value of a union query.
Code:
UPDATE tbl_StaMe_NGR_Subscription INNER JOIN qry_QDF_QRYDEF1 ON (tbl_StaMe_NGR_Subscription.EmailType = qry_QDF_QRYDEF1.Type) AND (tbl_StaMe_NGR_Subscription.AgentEmail = qry_QDF_QRYDEF1.Email)
Code:
SET tbl_StaMe_NGR_Subscription.Subscribed = [Subscription];
I am using below Union Query to unpivot attached table. Basically this is a table with some clothes and their sizes (in yellow). Now my problem is that below query works well only when all sizes are in the same row but as per attachment I may have them potentially over three different rows.
I can determine which row is for which item based on size range column (in red) but I still do not know how to modify my query to look at different rows depending on value of size range column, especially that as you can see there are multiple values pointing out to the same size range i.e. 0-6 and 1-4 point out to Size Range 1.
Unfortunately I cannot change the layout of the table to have all sizes in one row
Code:
Select Field1, Field2, "0" as Size,Field3 as Qty from orderform where Field3 > 0;
Union All Select Field1, Field2, "1" as Size, Field4 as Qty from orderform where Field4 > 0;
Union All Select Field1, Field2, "2" as Size, Field5 as Qty from orderform where Field5 > 0;
Union All Select Field1, Field2, "3" as Size, Field6 as Qty from orderform where Field6 > 0;
Union All Select Field1, Field2, "4" as Size, Field7 as Qty from orderform where Field7 > 0;
Union All Select Field1, Field2, "5" as Size, Field8 as Qty from orderform where Field8 > 0;
Union All Select Field1, Field2, "6" as Size, Field9 as Qty from orderform where Field9 > 0;
Wondering whether it is possible to use the 'Make Table' function in conjunction with a union query. My early attempts have failed and I am relatively new to Access.
I am using Access 2010.
We use a 3D program that uses access for it's data base. For reasons I have yet to figure out when the data base is accessed tables are creted called "at_(random number)". For example at_31789. These tables sometimes contain no information or duplicate information of other tables. How can I prevent this from happening and what causes this?

Hello,
I am trying to do a simple division. But I am getting an #Error when Access query tries to divide 0 by 0. Here is my example:
fldOne = 0
fldTwo = 0
fldCalc: IIf(([fldOne]/[fldTwo])=0,0,([fldOne]/[fldTwo]))
result = #Error
However:
fldCalc: IIf(([fldOne]+[fldTwo])=0,0,([fldOne]/[fldTwo]))
result = 0
If I change the IIF to [0]+[0] (plus) then it works. So I think I am trying to find out how to divide two fields that both contain zeros? (...I think!)
Any help appreciated!

Hi,
I have several forms with subforms attached for data entry purposes. In a nutshell - this program is for an interview - where we need the respondent to give us a listing (say as to what intices them to join a study, etc.), but for some cognitive research method we need to be able to know the order they gave us the list in then we have them rank their list, thus the order may not be in the order they gave us the list. I hope that made sense. Anyway, when a form is called and loaded the subform always adds an extra record. Below is a screen shot of what I am talking about:
http://www.geocities.com/msfstl/ScreenShot/ScreenShot.JPG
So, not only do I get an extra record, but when I am entering data and get down to the new record line, the cursor will jump up to the top of the column. What can I do to prevent the extra record and also the cursor skip? I am thinking if I resolve one issue the other will fall into place.
Thanks,
Scot
When I launch my modal, I want the user to be able to 'cancel' without creating a new record. It's not doing that and creating extra 'junk' in my table. How do I prevent that?
Here's my code:
Private Sub Btn_Exception_SubModal_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "Frm_Exception_UpdateModal", acNormal, , acFormAdd
Forms! [Frm_Exception_UpdateModal]![clientnmbr].value = Me![clientnmbr].value
End Sub
Hi,
I have a form with a number of fields and buttons on it. The form is opened in "add new record" mode. I have noticed that when I move from the last field in the tab order to the first field in the tab order it saves an entry in the database.
This is causing me problems because when users move from the last field in the tab order to the field in the tab order an entry is saved to the database but it by passes all the data checks ensuring that certain fields have been filled-in etc.
I don't know why the movement between these two fields is causing an entry to be saved. I don't have code associated with either of these objects. I aslo changed the last field in the tab order to a different field and it still happens.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
