Update Query Will Not Update!
Aug 16, 2005
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.

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

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.

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.

I 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.
Code:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
'Store when record was last modified and by who.
'Initially stores when the record was entered.
If Me.NewRecord = True Then Exit Sub 'Exit if new record
Me.DateLastModified.Value = Now()
Me.LastModifiedBy.Value = getUser()
End Sub

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.
Regards
Mark

I 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?

Is it possible to run an update query which is part of another database?
I have an update query that I would like to run but it's in a different database than the current one. I know I can import queries etc but I just need to run it as it updates tables in that database.
I don't think I'm being clear but if anyone can help me I'd appreciate it

Hi,
I have an update query which when run will update a stock field. The problem I'm having is only one record is getting updated. Here's my code:
Private Sub cmdReceive_Click()
If Me.PORec.Value = False Then
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryUpdateStockRec", acViewNormal, acEdit
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
Me.PORec.Value = True
Else
MsgBox "This purchase order has already been received. If you need to adjust stock please do so by going to Database Maintenance."
End If
End Sub
The update query is looking at the PartID in a subform. There are 3 records in this subform and only the first record gets updated.
Thanks

I have a field that contains a persons full name and at the end of their name in brackets either (S) or (NS).
I have created a new field that will contains the numbers 0 for S & 1 for NS.
How would I run a query that..
A. checks to see what the letter in the bracket is and then puts the correct number into the new field.
B. Automatically deletes the (S) or (NS) after adding it to the field
If anyone can help out I would be most grateful

Hello everyone,
This ones has me really confused, I hope I explain it ok...
I have a form which is filtered by numerous combo boxes. A 'Compare' field (yes/no) allows the user to add the data to a query that is used as the RecordSource for a comparison report.
On the form is a 'Select All' button which runs an update query to set the 'Compare' field to true for every field that matches the criteria in the combo boxes (and where Compare = False).
This has worked brilliantly until the most recent field that I've added. I created a seperate query which counts the records in another table (linked by the main table's primary key; 1:M). The results are included in the main query so that I can filter the results by that.
This Counting field has been added as a criteria of the update query because this is necessary for 'Select All' to select the values in the current view/filter. When I click 'Select All' however the message reads "Operation must use an updateable query". :confused:
I guess it's a refential integrity problem or something (the PK fields are joined only by a general/standard relationship - have changed this in query view with no success). Searching this error message on the web brings up stuff about servers and the like and I'm only developing this db locally.
I've tried writing an SQL subquery with no success and think it would result in the same error anyway
Any suggestions as to the cause/solution of the problem?
Thanks a lot,
Bobadopolis

Backend: SQL Server
Front End: MS Access
Just a small problem with a stored procedure im trying to create:
UPDATE tblOrders
SET active = 1
WHERE (invNumber = 'Forms!frmMainsub1!oID')
The above I believe is correct for updating all records to active with an invoice number of:
'Forms!frmMainsub1!oID'
However, after I try to save it I get the following error:
The paramenter is incorrect
Not very descriptive and after searching google and these forums I have still yet to find a solution. Help appreciated.

Hi,
I have a table with 12 columns (table_a), I want to update the records in table_a with 12 records that are returned from a query on table_b, so that a record that matches a specific criteria from the qrytable_b goes into column 1 on table_a, another record that matches certain criteria from qrytable_b goes into column2, etc etc.
There will always be 12 records going into the 12 columns but the values change every month.
Is there a way to do this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
table_a
LargeDirect Number
LargeMetro Number
LargeCountry Number
SmallDirect Number
etc for a total 12 columns with different name
Data returned in the query is in the following format:
qryTable_b
Column1 Column2
47 Large Direct
85 Small Direct
75 Residue
It is the data in column 1 I want to move in to table_a so I only have 1 record in table_a containing all the totals in table_b.
Thanks
Jubb

I'm trying to create what I believe should be a simple update query, but I'm having some difficulties. What I'm trying to do is copy a value from one row in a table to another row in the same table. Here's an example of the syntax that I used...
UPDATE Table1 SET Field1 = (SELECT Field1 FROM Table1 WHERE Field2 = 1) WHERE Field2 = 2
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? Thanks.

I have three columns TU, EFX, XPN a fourth column FICO which is based on the values in TU, EX and XPN.
I need to update the FICO column so that it is either
MEDIAN of TU, EFX, XPN or
Minimum of TU, EFX
Minimum of TU,XPN,
Minimum of XPN, EFX
I expected the SQL statement to be something like
UPDATE Table
SET FICO =MED(TU, EFX,XPN)
UPDATE Table
SET FICO =MIN(TU, EFX)
UPDATE Table
SET FICO =MIN(TU, XPN)
UPDATE Table
SET FICO =MIN(XPN, EFX)
Unfortunatelly,these wont work. I'm using Access 97
Any clues

I have a table named 'Main' on a laptop. I have the same database on our server, meaning that database has the same table named 'Main'. Users will use a laptop and enter data in it over night and I want the user to then upload the data to the database on the server.
In this 'Main' table is a field called 'uploaded' that is a yes/no field. If that record has been uploaded to the server it is marked yes. I was using an append query that would append all of the records where the 'uploaded' field were "no" to the table located on the server. This works fine.
Now I want to change it so that if a user modifies a record that has been uploaded the field 'uploaded' would be changed to "no" (which I can do) and then update the record in the table on the server without creating duplicate records.
There is no single unique key in the table. The reason is becuase we have mulitple laptops upload to the same master database on the server. In order to identify duplicate records I match 'datecreated', 'timecreated', and 'manager' fields.
How do I automate this?

I am an Access novice and I cannot figure out how do the following:
Table_1 contains email addresses. Table_2 contains email addresses and zip codes. I would like to add the zip codes from Table_2 to any matching email addresses in Table_1. It is imperative that no new email addresses be added to Table_1, just zip codes.
I'm not really sure what I need to do. Do I need to run an update query, and if so, what is the best way to do that?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello all,
I have two tables which I need to combine. The first has part numbers as row headers and dates as column headers, the data area is populated with prices. I had been managing this in excel, but I'm approaching my 256 columns wide limit and need to find a better solution.
The second table is the one with which I need to update the first, comprises just two columns, part number and price.
I need to return from this query a new table as the first, but with a new column added on for the date of the second table, and prices populated for those items which existed in a previous pricelist. I also need it to add in any products which exist in table2 which did not exist in table1, and populate the price data in the relevant date column.
Lastly, I need to be able to return the most recently published price for each product, or the rightmost nonzero value for each row of the table.
I'm a bit green in terms of access queries, so apologise if I'm not asking this question correctly - I would be grateful of some pointers on where to start reading to learn how to fix this up.
Cheers,
Alex
