Hi,
I have 2 tables, one "new" and the other one called "old".
The thing is that the "new" one has more information (more columns) than the "old". So I can only do a Union query on the columns that do match, but it is possible to have the information from the columns in the "new" table added as well into that query?
Do I have to create the new columns in the "old" table before the Union query?

I was able to use the UNION ALL qry. But, when I have another file (like original2) that does NOT have all the columns listed in the UNION ALL qry, I get a Parameter value box asking for the missing columns when I run the qry.
Example:
original1IDDateGroupChristianJohnnySteve 18/5/2013A1528/5/2013B338/5/2013C2348/5/2013D2358/5/2013E5
original 2IDDateGroupChristianJohnny18/6/2013A212528/6/2013B2338/6/2013C2248/6/2013D22
The UNION ALL qry includes all the possible resources ( includes all the possible column fields Christan, Johnny, and Steve).
When I run the UNION ALL qry with the original2 file, An "Enter Parameter Value" box is displayed with the mssing column name "Steve".
Is there a way to Map the original2 table into a working table with all the columns, or use VBA code to construct the UNION ALL qry to only include the existing columns? My data has variable columns and I'm trying to avoid the parameter popups.
I'm new to Access. We have a database that was created years ago and has been working fine. Now suddendly we get the following error message on a query.
"The number of columns in the two selected tables or queries of a union query do not match"
This is the code
SELECT [TimeSheets All].[Job Number], [TimeSheets All].Date, [TimeSheets All].Details, [TimeSheets All].[Start Time], [TimeSheets All].[End Time], [TimeSheets All].[Unbillable hours], [TimeSheets All].Who, *
FROM [TimeSheets All]
WHERE ((([TimeSheets All].[Job Number]) Like [Forms]![Search]![Job Number]))
ORDER BY [TimeSheets All].[Job Number], [TimeSheets All].Date;
Hi
Is there any way i can increase the amount of columns in a table before importing data? I am importing data from a notepad doc that needs abt 300 columns but i can only get abt 100 columns.
Thanks for any help
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 One table(and designed form from it) in which i have recording the daily transactions(it is like a daily book). Daily transactions took place like Purchase of items of Amount 45, sale=70, sold on account=100 etc.
What problem i am facing is: I would like to Add Cash In Hand amount and would like to show it on my form. When day end I would like to move remaining cash In Hand on separate column of that date. The next day i would like to take the previous Remaining Cash in Hand as Cash In Hand at Start for next date and so on.
I am trying to make a report in which I can see the amount of money that I have to pay weekly to an employee. To explain myself clearer, I have different rates for each employee. For example:
NameNormalPayRateVacationPayRateSickPayRateOvertimePayRateStandbyPayRate
John Smith$15$10$15$30$8
Ken Jonson$10$8$10$20$8
I am doing this in a query. So what I want to be able to do is, for example, take 4 hours that the employee worked at NormalPayRate and multiply it. But if tomorrow the employee worked at a different rate, for example 3 hours overtime, I want those 3 hours multiplied by OvertimePayRate.
The way I saw it on my Google researches, is that they have only one rate and the amount will be [SumOfHours]*[Rate]. But how can I tell my query to skip, for example, one rate because the employee didn't work at that rate that day. So I can have different amount for the different rates.
By the way, entering the information I can divide at what rate the employee worked x day. So if the employee work 6 hours at regular, and later on 4 hours at standby, I have those information separated in my table.
Results that I am getting: I can easily get the amount in money multiplying the whole hours by a rate, so my result in my report will be multiplied by the same rate.
I am using Access 2013 ...
Hello all,
I have the following data (Note: dates in dd-mm-yyyy format)
ID DEPT TARGET70 TARGET90 TARGET100
-- ---- -------- -------- ---------
12 ACCT 12/06/2005 31/07/2005 21/12/2005
14 MKT 30/08/2005 02/09/2005 11/04/2006
19 ACCT 13/04/2004 13/05/2005 22/08/2005
20 SAL 12/12/2005 20/12/2005 12/02/2006
21 SAL 21/03/2004 21/03/2005 21/09/2005
etc. etc.
It basically shows what the target dates (TARGETxx) are for certain stages of a deparment’s (DEPT) different projects (ID).
What I have to do next, is proving to be quite trivial to me. Can someone please help? :)
I must compare the target dates to a certain date (which is stored in a global variable, say gdatTheDate), and then return all the projects (ID) for which a target date is later than gdatTheDate. But it (the amount of later dates) has to be counted for each dept and presented as follows:
Say gdatTheDate = 05/08/2005
Then the following is returned
DEPT NUM70 NUM90 NUM100
---- ----- ----- ------
ACCT 0 0 2
MKT 1 1 1
SAL 1 1 2
I know how to use the global variable in a query, but how do I implement the query to do the counting and grouping etc.?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
J
Hi
Can anyone suggest a method for doing what the title asks. I basically have a single table with several fields. One of the fields is the length of music tracks in seconds. What i want to do is to set criteria so that when a query is run the records to not add up to more than 900 seconds.
1stly) Is this "do-able" using queries or do i need to start implementing sql statements which i have limited experience of?
2ndly) Can anyone recommend a suitable method to do so provided it isn't very complex.
My knowledge of Access is Intermediate.
Kind regards
I have a log in table that counts every time a user logs onto the database. Each time a user logs in it adds another entry to a table.
I have built a query to display the user name and date of log in so I could display this information in a report. The report is now getting rather long, and I am looking for a way to display each users name and have the total number of times they have logged in, not display each time they have logged in separately.
The Query has two fields "Agent Name" and "Logger Date"
The report displays the data as follows
Agent Name Logger Date
User 1 26/5/13
User 1 26/5/13
User 1 27/5/13
User 2 28/5/13
What I would like to do is have a report listing each users name, with a column showing how many times they have logged on. e.g.
User Name Login Count
User 1 3
User 2 1
Hello All,
I'm trying to run a UNION query that joins five queries through a MS WorkSpace into a DAO.recordset in VB. I'm pulling the data from a SQL Server Database through VB in Access. I'm attempting to open a recordset with a query passed to it as a string. The query is below. For some reason, I'm receiving a message: "MS Jet database engine cannot find the input table or query. Runtime Error 3078".
Here's what's puzzling. When I run a single query without any UNION statement, the code finds the table and runs fine without error, but anytime I join two or more queries with a UNION statement in the VB, it gives me the error.
I've executed the same UNION query in both Access Query Builder and SQL Server's Query Analyzer and they work fine in both environments. It's only when I call the query from a DAO.Recodset with VB that it causes this problem. The following is a sample of the UNION query joining two of the five queries. Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem? The following query executes in about 5 seconds so I don't think there's a "time-out" issue. I'm thinking that the UNION statement may be the culprit. Maybe there's another way to approach joining these separate queries? Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks.

Hi folks,
I have a query that returns about 3500 records (and runs very well I have to say). the issue comes when I attempt to export that queries results to a comma seperated text file. It gives me the message that the field is too small to accept the amount of data..bla bla bla... I've looked this up and it mentions stuff about memo fields and issues with that, but I don't have any memo fields in any of the tables that this is pulling information from. Does anyone have a clue why this would be happening...please help..this is urgent.
Thanks - J
I have created a report that provides me with employee expenses for temps per week. The types of expenses have been defined as Ad_hoc amounts.
An SQL union query I have used to combine fields
Adhoc_Code_1 - 3
Adhoc_description_1 - 3
Adhoc_Pay_Amount_1 - 3
(details of full sql query below)
I have tried to run for a particular week which should have 3 expense entries but only 2 have been picked up.
I think this is because both Adhoc_ Pay_Amount_2 and 3 have a value of 6 and the UNION operation will not return duplicate records. I have amended to UNION ALL but all entries are duplicated. Can anyone help?
Thanks

OK, so I am UNIONing two tables using UNION ALL. It works fine. The resultant table has 192 records (63 + 129).
If a use just UNION or UNION DISTINCT I get 184 records. I'm pretty sure that is telling me that 8 records (192 - 184) exist in both tables.
How do I query to find out what those 8 records are?? I'm trying to use an INTERSECT in MS Access, but it doesn't want to work. Here is my original query:
select * from qryMOE_Active_All
UNION ALL select * from qryMOE_Closed_All;
Thanks,
Brian
I am a basic access user so please forgive my ignorance. I have created a union query of three tables. There is one field from the third table that I would like to have in the final table but this field does not exist in the first table. If I put "none" in the first SELECT line, then it queries correctly but the field name on the table is "Expr1006". If I put "Field 2" or [Field 2] in that same space of the first SELECT line, then it asks me for a parameter value and whatever I enter it fills in all the cells of that field with that value. I just don't know that language very well or even if you can add a new field into the first SELECT table. Thank you for any thoughts
Ex: SELECT [Field 1], [Field 2], "none", [Field 3]
FROm [Table 1]
UNION
SELECT [Field 1], "none", [Field 2], [Field 3]
FROM [Table 2]

Okay, people. I am getting married in a few days and my mind is on other things. Consequently, I can't get my head around this one.
I have two queries, Query1 and Query2. Both have a different number of fields but they have the field "IA Code" in common.
I want to create a new query containing all rows from Query1 and all rows from Query2. Where the [IA Code] matches, I'd like the information to be displayed in one row.
I think I need to use Union somewhere along the lines, but I can't work it out.
Any pointers/syntax greatly appreciated.
I have 2 tables with employee details in it. There is no natural link between the 2. I wish to write a query that will sum up the total pay for both tables.
I've had a look through the forum and it seems that a Union query is probably best.
I haven't worked with Unions before, so I did 2 sub queries to total the pay in both table and then union the 2 queries. I did this because there are some date parameters that I query each table by so I do this in the sub queries.
This works but I get 2 outputs in the result, the total pay from each table. I wanted to have just one output, which is the sum of all pay.
Can anyone help please.
SQL:
SELECT QrySub_TotalPay1.TotalPay 'sub query that sums up table 1
FROM QrySub_TotalPay1
UNION SELECT QrySub_TotalPay2.TotalPay 'sub query that sums up table 2
FROM QrySub_TotalPay2;
TIA.
I have 2 tables and I m trying to get sum of qty for each product
I tried union qurey following way but doesn't work.
Product_Master table has primary key set up on productcode. I need to pick up OpeningBal along with ProductName and ProductCode from this table.
T_PurInvFoot table contains multiple records of the similar ProductCode. I want to make sum of these PurQty data and add it with OpeningBal data from Product_master table and present it in one line.
The avalable quanities are in 2 diff. tables are here.
Product_Master.OpeningBal=5
(1 Record)
T_PurInvFoot.PurQty =4
T_PurInvFoot.PurQty =6
(2 Records)
So total it should be 15 when it produce records. But it show only 10 records from below query.
SELECT Product_Master.ProductCode, Product_Master.ProductName,Sum(Product_Master.Open ingBal) as Stock
From Product_Master INNER JOIN T_PurInvFoot ON T_PurInvFoot.ProductCode=Product_Master.ProductCod e
Group By Product_Master.ProductCode,Product_Master.ProductN ame
UNION Select T_PurInvFoot.ProductCode, T_PurInvFoot.ProductName, sum(T_PurInvFoot.PurQty) as Stock
From T_PurInvFoot INNER JOIN Product_Master ON T_PurInvFoot.ProductCode=Product_Master.ProductCod e
Group By T_PurInvFoot.ProductCode,T_PurInvFoot.ProductName
ORDER BY Product_Master.ProductCode;
Can somebody advice me how to do it.
I need to add 3rd table here in future to get sum of the qty of the similar ProductCode so how to the query would be?
One more thing, can we do it in VBA and set the RecordSource to a form or report ?
With kind regards,
Ashfaque
Hello All,
What I am trying to do is if the field (CAR) or (PAR) or (Incident) is checked in this table (Inventory Worksheet) then show it. I not sure how to use the union query to accomplish this.
Any Ideas?
Thanks,
I have two tables with data and I want to join the data together for a report.
Example:
SELECT tbl1.a tbl1.b tbl1.c tbl1.d
FROM tbl1
UNION SELECT tbl2.a tbl2.b tbl2.c
FROM tbl2;
Currently I can't join them b/c the column counts aren't the same.
If table1 has more columns than table2 can I join them by indicating some kind of phantom column 'd' for table2 to be joined to column 'd' of table1?
Will you help me built a union query ? I have 2 queries, qryinput and qryoutput.Out of these query i have a third query called qryDiff substracting these
queries. However qryDiff does not show all the goods sold, only those goods that are substracted.Therefore i want to build an union query but somehow i cannot do it. Will you help ?
My first query, qryinput is :
SELECT [order details].ProductID, Sum([order details].Quantity) AS Sum1, orders.orderid
FROM (orders INNER JOIN [order details] ON orders.orderid = [order details].OrderID) INNER JOIN products ON [order details].ProductID = products.Productid
GROUP BY [order details].ProductID, orders.orderid;
My second query, qryoutput is :
SELECT [order details].ProductID, orders.orderid, [order details].Quantity AS Sum2
FROM ((orders INNER JOIN [order details] ON orders.orderid = [order details].OrderID) INNER JOIN Customers ON orders.customerid = Customers.Customerid) INNER JOIN products ON [order details].ProductID = products.Productid;
My thirs query, qryDiff is :
SELECT qryProducts.ProductID, Sum(qryInput.Sum1) AS imported, Sum(qryOutput.Sum2) AS exported
FROM (qryProducts LEFT JOIN qryInput ON qryProducts.ProductID = qryInput.ProductID) LEFT JOIN qryOutput ON qryProducts.ProductID = qryOutput.ProductID
GROUP BY qryProducts.ProductID;
Now i want to convert the query qryDiff into an union query, but i cannot do it.I somehow managed to build a simple query showing all the products:
SELECT ProductID
FROM qryInput
UNION SELECT ProductID
FROM qryOutput;
This query shows the productsid indeed, but i cannot add the other items form the qryinput and qryoutput as the sum etc.
I also i cannot convert my query qryDiff into an uinion query, with fields for the imported and the exported sums and also for the product names.
Where is my error and now could i achieve my aim? My aim is that in the query qryDiff to show all the products, and not only the products sold.
I will be very grateful for any comments
I have 2 tables, Employees and Customers. Each table has a column called active.
How can I make a union query that will return all active employees and customers?
Hello friends
How are you
Please I need help in Union Queries
what does this code mean
"SELECT [Query_buy] ,Type.[Query_buy].Sum0 ,no AS InQuin , "Return" as Description From [Query_buy]"
I need to make combined report shows the reteurnd items.
I hope that my words are enough clear
Thank you all
I have two tables - one of staff and one of activities. I want to assign each new activity to a member of staff based on a unique ref and then want the other related fields to be filled in automatically. i.e. I select the staff ID from a lookup using a combo box and a forename and surname field in the activity table is then immediately populated with the right details from the staff table. I think the animal I need for this is a union query but apparently I need to code some SQL to do this and let's just say my SQL leaves a bit to be desired!
