Unrelated Tables
Feb 29, 2008
I have three tables DriversName, Route and Orderlines. My job, if I should accept, is to create a form for the dispatcher to assign a driver and a route to each order. Preferably in a query so I can create reports based on Route and Driver, for the loaders & production, and Driver and Route for the driver.
I have a nice query already built to capture the order lines to be delivered daily, averaging around 800 lines. My problem is relationship. There is no relationship to Orders from either the DriversName or Route tables. Unfortunately the Orders table cannot be added to as the next data download would just remove the fields. I have tried just to slam in the tables in my query but of course I get a repeat data line for every driver name and Route letter.
I need this form to have the dispatcher call up the order by number and have two comboboxes for them to lookup and assign order numbers to Driver and Route. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
My question is, does someone have a suggestion as to how I could build a relationship of Drivers and Routes to the Order query?

I am trying to design a report that will Give information about down time and work time during the day.
I have three tables that I am trying to query:
TimeSheet - Employee name, date, etc.TimeSheetSub - Times worked (related to TimeSheet)Orders - Including Start and Complete dates and timesI want to find out on TimeSheet.Date Between TimeSheetSub.Arrived And TimeSheetSub.Departed how many minutes were worked on an order and how many many were not (Orders.Start And Orders.Complete).
When I try to combine these three tables in a query, though, it either ends with tons of records or doesn't work because the tables are unrelated. I was able to do it by making a subquery for the Orders part, but this will not work to make a report.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated!

Philip

I am trying to take similar fields from unrelated tables. both fields contain information about the age of my clients. The tables they are in are unrelated, as they are different types of clients, and therefore can not find anyway to relate the tables. I need to come up with a total number of clients at particular age groups. Meaning i need to know how many clients from both tables are between the ages of 8-20, even though the records have no relation. All i need is a count, i dont need to display the records, i dont need to change anything, I just need to know how many.

I am fairly new to Access 2013 but am trying to create a query that will select random records from three totally unrelated tables and display the results together as if one table -- think video slot machine wheels. Each table has two fields - ID which is the primary key and NAME. The data in the tables are names of states, names of colors, and types of animals. Each table has a different number of records. My end result is a table that selects X number of random records from each table and displays them side by side like this:
Desired Result:
Animal Color State
cat red Ohio
dog blue Texas
fox green Iowa
I have been able to create three individual queries that will pull X number of random records by using:
SELECT TOP 10 Animals.[ID], Animals.[Name] FROM Animals ORDER BY Rnd(-(100000*[ID])*Time());
SELECT TOP 10 Colors.[ID], Colors.[Name] FROM Colors ORDER BY Rnd(-(100000*[ID])*Time());
SELECT TOP 10 States.[ID], States.[LongName] FROM States ORDER BY Rnd(-(100000*[ID])*Time());
Using the three queries above I get three separate lists. how to make one query that will randomly pull from all three tables and make the display above?

A small issue I was wondering of for a few day . Is it possible in SQL query to SELECT multiple fields from multiple tables ? Example for the question is
Code:
dim my_var as String
my_var = "SELECT Emp_FName , Emp_LName , Emp_Adress " _
& " FROM Table1 " _
& " AND Emp_Date_Of_Payment , Emp_Sum_Of_Payment " _
& "FROM Table2 " _
& " WHERE Emp_ID = 3 "
Is this code actually valid in SQL gramatics , and is it usable if passed to a Recordset variable ( rs = CurrentDB.OpenRecordset(my_var) ) ? Just FYI - The two tables are not related and I want to keep them that way (If possible relate their records just via SQL/Vba )

I need to have a field show up in my report that is unrelated to all the other information in the report. It is a one-time entry that the person enters upon opening the database. It's basically the expected amount of work we'll be doing for the year. I need to display that at the top of my report and then utilize that number for calculations with other fields in the report to produce a couple of extra calculated fields in the report. I've tried it a few ways and I've either gotten #name? or #error.
Any ideas?

Hi all, I have a problem in returning values from 2 different tables because they are not related. Let me explain:
I'm trying to do "Payment Due" query by substracting the amount in the "Cost" table with the amount in the "Payment" table ([CostAmount]-[PaymentAmount]). However, since no payment has been made, the table contains no related record.
At first I thought the problem lies in null values the table return hence I tried to use NZ function to convert null to zeros. Then I realised that no values has been returned from the table due to no related record available.
Can anyone help me?
Cheers

Hi,
Is it possible to create a lookup in a query against a table which has not relationship but has a match?
E.g. iif(spec(in query)=Spec (match table) then bring back cost in (match table)
Hope this makes sense?
Thanks

This may be a simple question, but I'm not sure what to even search for. I have a form with multiple subforms. All the subforms have related fields that are linked via relationships. But one subform has no fields in common with the parent form.
I need to be able to have the subform update itself whenever the record is changed on the parent form. I can't figure out which event procedure to use. It updates correctly if I assign my procedure to the form_click sub, and then click each time I want it updated, but that's a pain. I've tried on load, on data change, on activate, on data set change, and a couple others, but nothing works automatically.
How can I make the subform run a subroutine each time the parent form changes records?

I have a 'Services' subform that allows a user to enter payment information, but the amount entered is over a specified amount then a field's value in another data is supposed to change (in this case, the 'Contract Status' should change from its default 'Active' to 'Void'). I was able to get an error message to appear upon this occurrence, but I have no idea how to change the value in the other table. here is my code:
Private Sub MaxComp_AfterUpdate()
If Me.MaxComp > 50000 Then
MsgBox "The specified amount is above the $50,000.00 limit. This contract will be flagged and reviewed by HCC to ensure compliance.", vbExclamation, "FMV Limit Exceeded"
'*** [sbfrmContracts]![Contracts]![ContractStatus] = "VOID"
End If
End Sub
***:This is the line I attempted to use to change the field value on the other table
Thank you in advance and happy new year.

Hi All,
My database has two tables:
1. Complete Address Data
2. Address conditions.
Table 1. has verbose customer [address] data like 11 smith st, 14 Kent Rd etc.
Table 2. has [std] address conditions, ST, RD, Street, Road etc.
How can I query ALL records by field [address] in table 1 by using ALL [std] address conditions in table 2?
The address conditions can occur anywhere in the [address] string, so I was thinking about maybe a CONTAINS condition, but I'm not sure

I have tried to combine data from 3 different tables (unrelated) to make a new one. However, as I understood I can not do this because these 3 tables are unrelated. In my case my 3 tables are for 3 labs' material requirements. I am planning that each lab will fill a form which directly related to there field and direct to me. That is why I intend to have separate tables for each. However, I want to create a table where I will be able to see all the requirements of different Labs altogether. This new table will be kind of Orders.

I am trying to link two unrelated sub forms to a main form so I am able to query data all at once and make a report that displays all this data at once. I do not know if this is possible. I will tell you to the best of my ability about what I have going on.
My main form is a shift report. The primary key is a auto number ID. The rest of the fields are date, name, shift, vehicle. etc.
The first sub form is area attendance. Field are as follows auto number ID (primary key), report ID(which comes from the main form, linked), the area, and the area attendance.
The second sub form is the event log. Fields are as follows auto number ID (primary key), report ID(which comes from the main form, linked), time in, and events.
My relationship now is simply primary key from the shift report (the autonumber) going to the first and second subforms report ID's.
Problem is I can not query two distinct subforms like this (I realized).

I have two forms:
frmOpeartions
frmManagers
frmOperations allows the user to assign a manager to an operation by selecting the manager record from a combobox. Occasionally the user may need to setup a new Manager record if one hasn't been setup already. In this case there is a "New" "button" (it's actually a label with an on click event) that the user can click to open frmManagers and add the new manager record.
The code to open frmManagers is:
Private Sub lblNewManager_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmManagers", acNormal, , , acFormAdd, acDialog
Forms!frmManagers!cboMoveTo.Visible = False
Forms!frmManagers!lblManagers.Visible = True
End Sub
Once frmManagers is open the user creates the new Manager record and then closes the form using a similar label with an on click event:
Code:
Private Sub lblClose_Click()
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmManagers", acSaveNo
End Sub
frmMangers also has an OnClose event that will refresh any comboboxes on other forms that refer to tblManagers to make sure that new Manager records will be available immediately for the user to choose from:
Code:
Private Sub Form_Close()
If CurrentProject.AllForms("frmPlants").IsLoaded Then
Forms!frmPlants!cboPlantManager.Requery
Forms!frmPlants!cboQCManager.Requery
[Code] .....
So the problem comes when the user clicks the Close label (acting like a button) on the frmManagers. The code successfully closes the form and the on close event successfully refreshes any comboboxes on forms that may be open, but then for some reason it attempts to run again or perhaps continue running the onClick event that opens frmManagers. Since the form is already closed it gets hung up on trying to change the visible properties of the controls and the code fails.

My Access 2007 database with one main table. There are associated queries and reports that sort under that table when I have tables and related views checked. The problem I am seeing is some clearly related objects fall under unrelated objects and not with the table.
Short of using a custom group and sorting them manually?

Currently trying to build a database for customer management and order placement/tracking. Want to set a couple of rules so that if I for instance click yes of billing and shipping address the same that the database will automatically fill the shipping address with the data I inputted for the billing address in the same table.
The other issue I can see I'll run into is, I want to be able to select one of the company ID's (made up of a three letter abbreviation of the full company name) in the product ordering table and it will automatically fill in the rest of the customer data (phone, email, address etc) data into that form.

What I have is a database setup with multiple tables in which different areas of my DC can input information simultaneously into their respective tables. I then have another database linked to it for myself to have a live view of each updated record. I would like to see all the records of each table in 1 single table (possibly just sorted ascending by time). Each table has the same Field headings but may have different qtys of records. As I will then have it linked to an Excel table to VLOOKUP from it.
I have tried Union coding but always get Syntax Error etc.

I have 2 identical database in terms of structure but it differs in data.
Basically I would like to import data from subDatabase to mainDatabase and ensuring that there are no duplicate records.
I have used the "link to datasource method" through importing the tables to have the "updating" function.
However, this method also means that the records in mainDatabase are also imported over to subDatabase which I do not want.
Is there a method to ensure that the records are shared/update one way only? (i.e. import from subDatabase to mainDatabase and not main to sub?)

I'm using the MS Access 2010 ExportwithFormating action to export three tables to a single MS Excel 2010 workbook. The action overwrites the first excel worksheet each time instead of saving all three worksheets in a single excel workbook.
How can I export three tables into a single excel workbook.

I have created a table that acts as a header for my data and a second table that acts as line item data. What I need to do now is add a second child table that uses the line item data as its parent table and stores associated line items for each record. Is this possible?
This is a skeleton view of what I'm going for:
Master Table:
tlbAuditReportHeader
- AuditDate
- AuditArea
- Auditor
Sub Table:
tblDiscrepancy
- Discrepancy
- CorrectiveAction
- ActualCompletionDate
- VerifiedDate
- Notes
Sub table to Sub Table
tblFollowUp
- FollowUpDate
- AssignedTo
- SpokeWith
- EstimatedCompletionDate
- Notes
Sometimes tasks change hands or are pushed back depending on work load. It would be nice to be able to track something like this.

I am using calculated field as a data type in access 2010.
They are working fine.
However, I added a new field and now the final calc won't work.
I have Subtotal adding loads of fields together. Works fine.
Then I have a VATunit field which is a double integer, so enter 20 and my next field is VATTotal calculates the SubTotal + the VATunit by doing (Subtotal/100)*VATunit. This calculation is fine and gives me the correct amount.
The next field is a Total field. Which adds Subtotal and the VATTotal together. Howver, the Total is the same as Subtotal. It is not adding the VATTotal to it?

I have some experience doing 'Update Query' using two different tables but I'm having a hard time doing an 'Update Query' using 3 tables.
I have my source table TP05XY with the fields 'Mark' 'Date' 'UTM_Edig' and 'UTM_Ndig'. Mark and Date are my primary keys (they together uniquely ID each record). I have my Observations table with the fields 'Mark' 'Date' and 'Obs_ID'. The last table is Locations with 'Obs_ID' 'UTM_E' and 'UTM_N'.
I want to update my fields UTM_E and UTM_N from UTM_Edig and UTM_Ndig. However, to do so, I have to go from my TP05XY table, through Observations table to update Locations table. Table TP05XY is joined to Observations through 'Mark' and 'Date' and Observations table is linked to Locations through 'Obs_ID' field.
I have tried a few options without success ... anyone knows how to do it?
Thanks,
Josée

I have being playing with ms access but I really don't know much about it or databases in general.I have created a very simple database to gather twitter following/followers data for research purposes.One table (table01) has a field for the "boss" user (=the user who I gather data for), another field for "client" (=bosses followers or friends).Both fields are numeric and contain the users id's.In order to distinguish if the link is follower or friend there is a third field, called type which can be either 1 (=follower) or 2 (=friend).So the data would look like this:
boss - client - type
12345, 67890, 1
12345, 54321, 2
If user with user id 12345 had a follower (type 1) with user id 67890 and a friend with user id 54321...In order to avoid getting duplicate rows I also added a unique identifier which is of the form boss_id-user_id-type.So the above row looks like this:
12345-67890-1, 12345, 67890, 1
12345-54321-2, 12345, 54321, 2
That works just fine.For several reasons I also needed data of the form source - target.So I also made another table (table02) of this form.
67890, 12345
12345, 54321
...
In table 2 you don't need the "type" field since the position of the user id shows the type of relationship.Still, you need a unique identifier in order to avoid duplicates, so I added on with the form: source_id-client_id..So table02 lookes like this
67890-12345, 67890, 12345
12345-54321, 12345, 54321
...
Both tables also have a date/time stamp for each line.As you can see, table01, having also a type field is bigger than table02.The problem is when I try to append data, exactly the same data in both tables.Appending data to table01 is ok, while appending data to table02 (which is smaller, having one less field) takes a really long time, maybe 10 times as long as appending data to table01.To make sure that no query's are causing the problem I have tried first creating temporary tables with the data to be appended, no duplicates, nothing that would cause the database to make extra calculations and used a simple update query with no filters to append data.Still I get the same result, table02 takes a very long time to finish while table01 finishes in no time.

I am currently using Microsoft Access 2010 32bit, and have one database acting as parent, with a second linked database as a client for people to work with, and the parent database has tables imported from Sage V21 via ODBC. I have used the following code as specified in other examples as follows:
Code:
DoCmd.TransferDatabase acImport, "ODBC Database", "ODBC;DSN=MyDNSMachineName;UID=MyUID;PWD=MyPassword;LANGUAGE=us_english;" & "DATABASE=pubs", acTable, "INVOICE", "INVOICE"
one of the tables has 10k records in it, it only transfers 77 records. After manually attempting an import via the ODBC wizard it finally lets me access all 10k records.I wish to have a single button click delete and import fresh tables without worrying if all the data is coming across.Also, when manually adding a table, I am usually asked by the wizard to specify an index, but with the code above, I am not offered that option and the tables come across with no index. I am led to believe that having tables that link to each other without an index is bad, so how do I ensure an index is created?
