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.
We are using access 97 and I have a linked table to sql 2000. A couple of weeks ago, our sql server crashed and we had to completely rebuild it / restore all of the data. Ever since then, only one of our linked sql tables in access is acting up. Whenever we go to edit a line (sometimes, not always), we get an error which states the following:
This record has been changed by another user since you started editing it. If you save the record, you will overwrite the changes the other user made. Copying the changes to the clipboard will let you look at the values the other user entered, and then paste your changes back in if you decide to make changes.
Options are Save Record (greyed out), Copy to Clipboard, and Drop Changes.
About all I have tried is re-linking the table...any other ideas?
Before anybody says anything about it, no, my MS Access is not corrupt, and I don't need to reinstall, or update or anything like that.
Now, to the problem...... I have a union query that in essence ties 4 tables together. The query works great! Here's the issue...... When I try to create a data access page using the wizard, I get an error msg saying wizard was unable to create data access page. If I try to create in design view, I cannot view the fields of my union query to add to the data page.
I am including 2 databases..... the first one, called "union" contains the union query that will not work to create a data access page..... the second one, which is very similiar on the union query, just not as detailed does work. It is called "joined"
The only difference in these two union queries, is that I tried to include times for db"union", whereas for db"joined", I only calculated hours. I can make a data access page using the union query in db"joined", but not the union query in db"union"
I have a form that has a drop-down box. When the form opens, all the records are shown. Once a name is selected from the drop-down, only the records associated with that name are shown (a filter is created using code). The problem is that once the selection is made, I am unable to edit the records. I try to click in the fields but am unable to.
I have setup a ComboBox on a form, Listed the PK of the table as the control source. Inserted the PK and many other field as the row source. When I go to select a record I get the error "control can not be edited, it's bound to a auto number field, "Asset_ID"
I'm making database using access 2013 web apps. Name field in the table same with username in office 365. I want to make the user can only edit the field that have their name on there.
I have a user that is unable to edit records, He can click in the fields but he could not delete or enter data in the fields. He has the ability to edit records but its fields are locked. I created a split database and created a secure front which I distributed it to multiple uses. The other users front end is working fine, expect for the one.
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?
My database was working fine. Now, if I have to save or edit a record, I get a message Run time error 2107. The value you entered does not meet the validation rule defined for the field or control. I am able to enter and edit new records in the table. I did not change any validation in form. Then it goes to debug mode and highlighted this code (me.recordsource=Listsql - is highlighted)
Private Sub ListSearch_Click() Dim dBS As Database Dim Rst As Recordset Dim Listsql As String Set dBS = CurrentDb() Listsql = "Select * from MasterData where employeeid ='" & [Forms]![MASTERFORM]![ListSearch] & "'"
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 created a table to keep contact information such as address, phone number, and email address of instructors. I also modified the New Instructor Entry form to add an email address, since we usually have this when hired.
The problem arises when no such information exists for an instructor. I have attached a "sample" database with all the important components and "sample" data.
When I choose an instructor in which some contact information exists, the Instructor Contact Entry form performs as expected. On the other hand, if no information for an instructor exists, the information can be entered, even though the Employee Number, Family Name and Given Name fields are blank, contrary to the first case. Not only can the information can be "saved" but no data appears in the table.
How do I have to set this up to get it to work for an instructor not in the table?
I am currently unable to delete any data from my table. When I highlight a row and right-click, the option to delete the record is grayed-out. I have deleted and recreated the table and relationships, saved the database as a new file, and compacted and repaired, but I am still unable to delete anything.
I've created an ADP project containingnumerous tables. One (and only one!) table in the set will not open in edit mode while in Access. Here are the particulars:
1) The table was created from scratch in SQL Enterprise Manager, 2) The table is editable in SQL Enterprise Manager, 3) The table permissions appear to be set correctly (and are the same as all the other tables which all allow editting in Access) 4) I open the Access project and double-click the table. The "add record" navigation button is disabled, and any attempt to edit a field elicits a "This recordset is not updatalbe" error. 5) However, I can open the table in Design mode in Access, make changes, and save them.
Hi I have a form, which displays data from a query recordsource. One of the textboxes is a "Comments" textbox, which I would like the user to write in directly, which in turn is a direct link to the data in the table so it is updated immediately.
At the moment, the textbox does not seem to be editable. Is there a standard way to do something like this ?
I have a commitment table in my database, and normally people will input commitments through a form.
However each month I will have a flat file upload from excel directly into the Commitment Table, these will be up to 1500 lines. (they are downloads from other systems, that we want to have in our database and i can't link directly to these systems).
I created a macro to do this, and attached it to a button and tested it and it works fine.
My issue is this, once I've uploaded it once, next month what I would like to happen is when I upload it again that it changes the original commitment should any of the details be different or it inserts a new commitment if it didn't already exist. (After I have uploaded the original data, I can download it to get the commitment ID to attach to the excel files if necessary.)
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 signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: MSACCESS.EXE Application Version: 12.0.6606.1000
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
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?
To make a long story short I have a command button that runs a query and opens a subform based on that query. I want to be able to update the records that are returned (via the subform) but I am getting an error - "This Recordset is not updateable". I've tried changing the recordset property to Dynaset (Inconsistent Updates) but that didn't seem to change anything.
I've created a form (callled Contact) that contains a subform (called Sales). The Sales subform is a datasheet that displays sales for each contact and changes when the record in the Contact form changes. All works fine.
My problem is that I want to display some big text fields from the Sales subform in the Contact form so that I can view them more easily. So I've cut and pasted the fields from the Sales form onto the Conact form and tried to change their Control Source. But nothing I do works.
What should happen is that when a record in the Sales subform changes, the fields that have been cut & pasted onto the Contact form should also change. They do change, but I can't edit the text in them. What have I done wrong?
Hi, I'm trying to connect to SQL Server Express from MS Access 2003.
I've created an ODBC data source and tested it within the ODBC Wizard. It successfully connects to the SQL Server database.
From within MS Access, I choose File > Get External Data > Import and I'm presented with a dialogue for choosing the data source. As soon as I choose ODBC from the Files of Type drop-list, the dialogue disappears. No error-message, nothing!
I am working with two forms frmManager and frmMMeasures where based on selection from the combo box of frmManager of the department, position and staff member frmMMeasures is loaded where MUserLoginID and MPositionName is populated based on selection from frmManager. This is what I use to populate the MUserLoginID field for the control source " =[Forms]![frmManagers]![cboStaff] ".
My problem is when I go to the next record on the form those two fields do not change from what was picked up from the form frmManager.
I don't know how to ensure that the correct data is displayed.
it is zip file unable to get the size lower yet minimal amount in database I have 2 tables and one form when I create an query on the form the form then becomes that I cannot enter data in it or edit etc
