I have a table which records are appended to in batch format. I would like to update a column called batch number for newly appended records with the Max of that column + 1 but I keep getting errors such as "operation must be an updateable query". Anybody have any suggestions. Mind you I am not doing this in VB or SQL formats, I use the query design format. Thanks, Jim
View RepliesHi there,
I have 4 fields in a table(Call_Freq, Call_Week, Call_Day, Call_Sequence)
I have to make a query that finds records with Null values in these fields.
If they are all null that is fine so I only want to return records with either one, two or three of the columns with Null values.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hey guys,
I'm doing a pretty basic query that
Selects about 5 fields
From Table1
Where
(value=0 AND name <> HOT)
OR
(value=Null AND name <>HOT)
I also have some records (4 specifically) that have a name = nullvalue. When I run this query it picks out all the records with a name, and skips HOT(which is correct), but skips the nulls which I also want to include. Can someone help me in finding the reason for this error?
I already posted this problem in the query section, but got no where with it... here is the problem now...
I have a form with three combo boxs - cboStatus - cboFunder - cboResource on my form. Depending on what you chose as an option the subform, which is based on a query will show the data with the chosen criteria.
Only the Status field is a required field, so there are lots of nulls in the funders and the resource fields.
In the all the fields I have "ALL" or "*" as an option.
So in the criteria in the query I use this...
Like fCboSearch (forms!form name!combobox)
This calls up this function...
Public Function fCboSearch(vCboSearch As Variant)
If IsNull(vCboSearch) Or vCboSearch = " " Or vCboSearch = "*" Then
fCboSearch = "*"
Else
fCboSearch = vCboSearch
End If
End Function
This works great to show me all the records or just records with a certain criteria selected, BUT BUT BUT I cannot get it to show my the NULLS, they are no where to be found. How can I change this to show me NULLS??
Thanks. Joye
hi,
i am having trouble with a criteria expression that seems to have an issue when it runs into null data in my table.
the query column is as below ...
DateSerial(Year([SomeDate]),Month([SomeDate]),1)
and the criteria for this column is ....
DateSerial(Year(Date()),Month(Date()),1)
So basically I am looking for those fields that match the first date of this current month.
for some reason when there are null values in the table this thing chucks back data type mismatch error but when i take the criteria away its all good
any ideas why this is happening?
In my Accounts table I have a field called Status. This field is populated by single letters. A=Active, P=Paid and so on. I have a status (R) that is occasionally used. It won't show up in my crosstab queries since we currently do not have an account that is in R status. How can I get my crosstab to show the R status as having 0?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been struggling with a problem and I hope one of you can please help.
I created a crosstab query that displays group names on the vertical axis and dates on the horizontal axis. I use a Count for the values. I use a pop-up dialog to get parameters for the dates (between... and), which are organized as Quarters. The query works fine and I can insert it into a report, which also works fine... with one problem. The dates only work when the date parameters request a year (4 quarters), and only work when each quarter has at least one entry. (Only work = I get an error message when one or both of these conditions are violated.)
Sometimes, I want to look at less than a full year, but when I use parameters for three or fewer quarters, I get an error. Same thing if I request a quarter that doesn't have any data. I assume the solution is to convert Nulls to Zeros and have wrestled with both Nz function and IIf, but have not been able to convert the values. I get the correct values in the quary's dataset if they are numbers, and blanks if no data, but no zeros anywhere. I also don't know how to make my report flexible or dynamic, so I can limit the number of quarters if I only want to look at a specific quarter or quarters (less than four).
Any ideas? Thank you so much for your time, and, Happy Holidays!

So, I have two tables that, cut down, look like this:
Table1:
Code budget
100 5
110 7
120 3
150 6
Table2:
Code actual
100 4
110 9
130 2
150 1
I have another table that is all the codes plus a description.
I thought I was being clever because I realised that there are items in Table1 that do not appear in Table2 and vice versa. I need a query that is, in effect, Table1 minus Table2.
I linked all three tables via “code”, created my query with the minus calculations and thought it had worked.
One problem. Where there is a “code” in one table but not in the other, the query puts a blank or “null” into that field. Then the minus calculation gives, say:
null - 2 = null
I’m used to Excel where:
blank - 2 = -2
Is there any way to get round this please? This must be a common problem, no?
Thank you.
is there any way to make a cross tab query default to zero instead of nulls for unpopulated cells
i know i can Nz all the resultant fields, but it seems like treating the symptoms and not the cause...
:confused:
So, I've been doing doing reading on Append Queries and Nulls. I have the following SQL statement
INSERT INTO tblTestResults ( EnrollmentID, TestType, Result, CompletedDate, BoldFace )
SELECT tblEnrollment.EnrollmentID, tblTests.TestsID, [Forms]![frmHome]![subfrmTesting]![txtResult] AS Result, [Forms]![frmHome]![subfrmTesting]![txtCompletedDate] AS CompletedDate, tblOptionsBF.OptionsBFID
FROM tblEnrollment, tblOptionsBF, tblTests
WHERE (((tblEnrollment.EnrollmentID)=[Forms]![frmHome]![EnrollmentID]) AND ((tblTests.TestsID)=[Forms]![frmHome]![subfrmTesting]![cboSelectTest]) AND ((tblOptionsBF.OptionsBFID)=IIf(IsNull([Forms]![frmHome]![subfrmTesting]![cboSelectBF]),0,[Forms]![frmHome]![subfrmTesting]![cboSelectBF])));
and I can't for the life of me figure out.
IIf(IsNull([Forms]![frmHome]![subfrmTesting]![cboSelectBF]),"",[Forms]![frmHome]![subfrmTesting]![cboSelectBF
Basically what I'm trying to say is that if the cboSelectBf is Null, then leave it null for the the append query or at least leave it blank. If it isn't, use the value that cboSelectBF has according to the combo box selection.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Will someone look at my option group in my form (frmcustomer) and help me figure out why the option group selections for existing records nulls out (visually you cannot see which button had been previously selected).
The option group is working fine in that it is adding the appropriate selection to the record, but when you open the form up in edit mode the selection has been grayed out.
I have below table in SQL Server which i have linked to MS Access 2010.
Create table test
(
col1 int not null
col2 int not null
)
Insert into Test values (1,2)
Insert into Test values (1,'')
Now when i link the table to access database and open up the table i dont have any issues with that. I tried to copy the test table data from access table and paste it to another access table which is linked to sql server with same schema structure thats when it says "You tried to assign the NULL value to a variable that is not a variant data type"..Its treating the blanks as NULLS when copy/paste the records from one table in access to another.
Hi!
I want to add two columns a and b. However, there are rows in which EITHER a OR b is NULL. This should be handled as if the cell would be zero. Is there any way besides filling in 0s in the tables?
I tried
SELECT a, b,
IIF( a = NULL, b, IIF(b = NULL, a, a+b))
AS c FROM
but this doesn't work.
Any ideas?
Cheers

In the following simplified query, in some months(MonthOf) there were no warranties so I have a null field for AcceptedWarranties:
SELECT qryWarranty.MonthOf, qryWarranty.AcceptedWarranties
FROM qryWarranty;
In order to make my Warranty Trends graph work I need 0s. Other postings show the following statement should get the results I need:
SELECT ISNULL(AcceptedWarranties, 0 ) FROM qryWarranty
But no matter how I try to work this into the original code, the compiler finds reason to reject it.
I'm using Access 2010 and I'm a novice with databases.I have a table that contains water flow readings taken 4 times a day from multiple wells. I am trying to create a select query that will generate the daily average of the 4 flow readings.
HoleID.....Date....Flow1....Flow2....Flow3....Flow 4....Average
1111.....9-8-14.......0.........null.........7..........4......
1111.....9-9-14.......0.........null.........9..........3......
2222.....9-8-14.......0.........null.........10........7......
Also, my table also has several 0 values and NULLS meaning the well was turned off - I want to exclude the zeros and nulls when I average. How to average these numbers? Do I need to restructure my table?
I have a table of around 6000 records comprising 4 fields (A,B,C,D).
- Each field can contain numbers or Nulls.
- Each record can comprise all numbers, a mixture of numbers or Nulls, or all Nulls.
I'd like to build a query that excludes all records that contain any number from a small list of numbers.
This sounds very simple but I am having problems when trying to include records that have Null's in my query output.
For test purposes I tried to exclude all records that contain the numbers 1 or 9 (these numbers can be present in any field).
This works perfectly, in isolation, on Field A (i.e. 1 or 9 but not Null are excluded from field A):
Code:
WHERE Table.A Not In (1,9) OR Table1.A Is Null;
When I try to copy the above, referencing fields B-D, I run into problems - no matter how I try to alter the Boolean operators.
I have a text field like, 11242010, and I need to be able to convert it into 3 int fields, day, month, year. I am trying to do this in a query and have create the following three;
DateD: IIf([DATE] Is Not Null,(CInt(Left(Right([DATE],6),2))))
DateM: IIf([DATE] Is Not Null,(CInt(Left([DATE],2))))
DateY: IIf([DATE] Is Not Null,(CInt(Right([DATE],4))))
Time: IIf([TIME] Is Not Null,[TIME])
When I have a value of Null, i keep getting #Error, I think when it's null.
My membership database has worked fine until recently. Now I cannot save inserted data. On attempted saving "Update or CancelUpdate without AddNew or Edit" appears.
The problem. relates to 2 tables Member and Addresses. PK in the parent table Member is ID. In the Addresses Table the FK is ID. There is a One to One relation between the tables and Referential Integrity is set. I know 1 to 1 is not good but it worked fine in this small database.
Browsing the all of the existing records is fine.
Hi Guys,
I have got a query that updates details from one table2 to table1, "Reference" is the primary key and this is what the query uses to determine which need updating.
It all works great but if table2 contains a record in "Reference" that is not in table1 i just want it to ignore it, currently it just seeems to add them.
Any suggestion guys & gals?
Many thanks
Tim
Ok, i have a question about update queries.I have two tables (I'll call table 1 and table two for simplicity) and an update query. I want to get some data from table one to table two (via an update query). But in table two there is a field that isn't in table one but i want to add a value to that field via the query.My question is, can i manually put into the query what data to add to a field instead of/aswell as using data from other tables.I hope you understood my questions.Cheers
View 3 Replies View RelatedI get an error "update or cancel update without add new or edit" which seems to point to this code.I am using MS Access 2010.

'Initially stores when the record was entered.

I am trying to stop access displaying the "You are about Update 1 Record" etc message when i run an update query. I know i can do this in Tools/Options screen but the problem is that the database is going to be used by multiple users, and rather than changing each persons Action query option I was wondering whether there is something i can put in to the code Globally to halt the message.
Any help would be appreciated.

I am trying to remove random characters from a field. The field [assycode] contains a string similar to say, FGEJBF1 or ABFGYRUKC I want to remove any occurrence of "F1" normally at the end of the string but not always at the end. I used: Like "*f1*" to find the correct records, that worked fine, I then used [Assycode]-" f1" in the update to box, It wants to update 146 records I click ok then it says It couldn't due to a type conversion error. Just messing around I tried adding "F1" to these records using [Assycode]+" f1" and it worked fine. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance

I have a database where two tables contain information that I need to update based on the 4 right most digits of a field. There are only 11 values that will need to be updated out of a large list of values. I'm not quite sure how to set up the update query so that I can do this.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a table called tblCompanies. When a company acquires another company, I need a method by which the acquired company's CompanyID (PK) can be updated to the new company's CompanyID (PK). I also need to be able to update all related CompanyIDs (FKs) to the new value in related tables.
In cases in which the new company does not have an existing record, there is no problem: the company name simply gets changed to the new company and the existing CompanyID is maintained. I then use an audit table and Track Changes function to keep track of the company name data and a union query to keep the old names in the selection lists.
The problem is when both companies already have existing records in the table.
So, let's say I have records for Company A and Company B. Company A merges with Company B and Company B is now the main record. What is the best, simplest and easiest way to update the CompanyID (PK) from A to B and change the CompanyID (FK) to the new value in all related tables?
I am envisioning a pop-up form that directs the user to select the new company and then an update query happens behind the scenes... but exactly how does the criteria for the update query get selected and how do all the related tables get updated? My vba skills are pretty basic, will I need extensive coding to do something like this?
I have two tables, each has a "status" for a project. In the left table there is only one instance of each set, but in the right hand table, each set may be used more than once by different Projects.
I need the Status field of the left table to be set to "Assigned" if ANY of the sets assigned to projects in the right hand table are "Assinged"
Here is the update query I have setup but when it runs, it updates "0" rows.
8 is the id for the status "Assigned" in the SetStatus table
2 is the id for the status "Assigned" in the Status table.
