I have a table "volumes" with the following fields:
product, year and one field for each month of the year. I update the data in this table monthly. From that table I calculate a total volume for each "project" through an After Update event on my "Cut In Month" field on my form
Right now, when I update my volumes in the table I have to go through and trigger the After Update event on each and every record to get the calculated field to represent the updated volumes from the table.
I would like to have one button on my form that does this all at once. Is this possible without binding it to the table?
Is it possible to run an update query to increment the value in a lookup field on all records, if the values are not numerical?
For example if the look up field contains Unit A, Unit B etc? can a query be executed so that anything with Unit A will be set to Unit B, and Unit B records will be set to Unit C?
I have an existing table that has calculations. When I added a new field with an default value of zero, it did not populate the existing records. Now my tables are not calculating. How can I update the existing records with the new default of zero.
I am putting the finishing touches on a DB and have come up with a a problem which I cannot solve. I have code on my data entry form that concatenated the days and times of up to five days. That is : [Day1] & " " & "@" & " " & Format([Time1],"h:nn AM/PM") & " " & ";" and so forth for five days. It has a complicated (for me) nested IIF statement and it works fine on the form. But I have now transferred the data from an old DOS DB and I do not want to go through almost 5K records just to update three fields.When I tried to do it in an update query, it said that the string was too long for the update. My update is:
how to update the table if a field is blank without clicking through all 5K records? I have tried simple concatenation, but I usually get a lot of extra @ in the field.
I have 2 tables Master table (Jobs) containing the primary key ("Job Reference") and 2nd table (Candidates) with the foreign key ("Job Reference")
2 Forms
frmJobs Form to view job details frmCandidates form to view Candates information
I have placed add new candidate button on the frmJobs form which opens the candidate form in the add mode as a blank form. This is fine but I'm looking to add a record where it picks up the "Job Reference" text field value from the main frmJobs and update it in the "Job Refernce" text field on the frmCandidate when I click add new candidate.
How can I achieve this? I'm fairly new to access/vba
I am new to Access. I am after a vba script to run an update query.
I have a table named MYOB_Invent. I have a Query Named MYOB_Update.
The query is showing records where my field named Test1 is null.
I want to update records with null in the field to today's date (the date of the day that it is run) formatted as 18/08/2014 and the field next to it is named Updated (which is yes/no) from un-ticked to ticked for the updated values.
I would like a vba script to automate the process as I want to automate it via a commandbutton for users.
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.
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?
Any easiest solution so that After I Update the field called JobStatus in the subform, it changes the field called JobStatus in the main form to the value which was selected from the subform?.
I know there are numerous threads regarding dsum() on the forum, but I wasn't able to find the exact answer to my problem.
The root of my problem is that I'm trying to update a field on a table using dsum, which references another query to update the table. Although I have all of the correct keys from the physical table joined to the query in the dsum function, the code/ms access seems to ignore the joins. As a result, all payees are having their "vol" field set instead of a select subset.
Query (GetTxnVolAmtTR"):
SELECT p.payee_id, sum(txn_volume) AS vol, t.market, t.period_id FROM ft_payees AS p, ft_txn_summary AS t WHERE p.payee_id=t.payee_id And p.market=t.market GROUP BY t.payee_id, t.period_id, t.market, p.payee_id;
Update statement (references the query above):
UPDATE tmp_ft_component AS rc SET rc.volume = Dsum("vol","GetTxnVolAmtTR","GetTxnVolAmtTR.payee_id= " & [rc.payee_id] And "GetTxnVolAmtTR.market= " & [rc.market] And "GetTxnVolAmtTR.period_id= " & [rc.period_id] & "") WHERE rc.component_name='Total Revenue';
as you can see, I have all of the fields I want joined, but the code seems to ignore this. I've tried looking at this site: http://www.mvps.org/access/general/gen0018.htm , but haven't found my answer. Any help would be much appreciated!
I have two forms, both of which have a field called JobID (Form A is the primary Key and Form B is the linked field - Relationship: One to Many).
Form A = FrmJobs Form B = FrmPurchaseOrders
I have put a command button on Form A. When I click the button I need it to open Form B and then automatically fill the field JobID in Form B with the same value in Form A from which it was opened. I have tried the following:
Private Sub Command214_Click() Me.Refresh On Error GoTo Err_Command214_Click Dim stDocName As String Dim stLinkCriteria As String
[code]...
The above code works on my old database but not on my new database. I get the following message "Object does not support this property or method".
I have 3 peices of data that I am working with: Group number, plans and benefit elections. On my form I have fields for the group number and plan and 2 queries. When I enter a group number the first query displays a list of plan descriptions for that group. From there I can enter the plan description into the form's plan field and that runs the second query to give me a list of valid elections for that plan. This all works fine but I want to make the plan selection a little less tedious. What I would like is to be able to double click the query field housing the plan description and have it copied to the form's plan field. I could use the ID instead of the plan description but I work in a production environment and very key stroke counts so I would really like to have a simple double click process.
Is this even possible? If so how would I set that up? I tried using the double click on event macro builder but it does not seem to have this kind of option.
My form contains fields for group number and Plan. The same form houses 2 querys, one that pulls plans based on the group number and the other to pull elections based on the plan field (not the plan query). Would like to double click a plan within the plan query and have that description populated into the form's plan field.
tblTreatment contains Cost for different AppointmentTypes.
The above two tables are linked as 1-M relationship (1 Treatment can have Many Appointments)
Entering data in the tblAppointment - AppointmentType and AppointmentCost are the fields in tblAppointment. AppointmentType a drop down box, so that a specific AppointmentType can be selected.
Problem: Now depending on the AppointmentType selected the AppointmentCost field should automatically display the correct Cost.
i have 2 fields in a form - 'Balance' and 'Date'. Quite simply I need the date field to change automatically to todays date each time the data in the 'Balance' field is changed. Can anyone advise me on how to accomplish this.
I have a table that has been converted into a form for an input. Now suppose I have two columns. Say I enter value in first column. Now the second column is a lookup to a data from another table.
What I want is to see only those data in 2nd Column which have the value filled in Column 1. This is should be in run time mode. I fill in the value and then in the 2nd column I directly get to see only common values.
I am wanting to update data in one field which is being pulled in from another table based on an entry in another field in a form
Attached is the database. In the sales form I want to enter a customer ID which will then pull in the customer name from the customer table and put it in the Customer Field in the sales table.
I know I am duplicating the data by having customer name in both tables which is bad database design!
Erm, I know this sound a bit silly....but I woudered if there was a way of adding anew record to a table using vb code?
My table is called tblTransmissions
The fields are TransmissionCode, AutoNumber TransmissionDate, Date/Time TransmissionTime, Date/Time TransmissionStatus / Text TransactionCode / Number (Linked to another table by One-To-Many)
When I hit a command button, I would like to update the recordset by firstly adding a new record. Then set Date & Time to Now, Then TransmissionStatus to a control on a form, same with the Transaction Code.
Normally I would place the values on a form and update the values that way, but just wondered if this was possible!
I am chasing a quick solution to what I am sure is a simple thing.
In my database I have a table of items that have to be held for different periods of time (one item type kept for 5 years, another for 3 etc). In another table, linked to the first through the item type, I have dates entered against records which, using the first table, will calculate the date I can get rid of the item.
My problem is that the period of time for some items to be held has now changed, and I want to change all the relevant records to update to the correct disposal date.
I have tried just changing the period items are held for (in the form), and that will provide the correct date for future records, however I want to refresh the old records as well so they are all correct.
Is there an easy way to achieve this without going through each individual record.
What I am doing is attempting to update a table through a form. I have been reading up on update queries, but I am not quite understanding how to use them. I have a table containing consumables that we constantly issue and receive. I have a form for each of these functions. Example: I order two ink cartridges from a vendor through a purchase order. When they arrive, I would like to enter the qty. I am receiving, then have it automatically add it to the table value. I don't know where to implement the arithmetic. Also, for PO's with multiple items, what's the best way to update the table with those?
The problem is I removed my primary key (if you can even use a primary key for this) and there's no record number option on the query. I just need 800, it doesn't matter which 800.
I was thinking of adding a field with a series of unique identifiers, but I don't know how to autofill sequentially.
Hi all I have a table "tblEmployee" which has "name, employee_no, manager, etc" I recieve from HR a updated spreadsheet which can have new employees or just updates. ie new manager name. I can run an update query to update changes based on the employee_no which is constant. How can i add new starters from this list ?
I am a new user to MS Access and i'm creating a stores account for my works, however i'm having problems with the updating of records after colleagues have been issued with kit. I have three table (employees, kitlist and issuelist) what i want is that when i issue kit to employees this updates the item in the kit list to reflect that i have issued an item, ie. take the number away from the units in stock. This is probably really easy however cannot find a solution to this problem.
I have a couple questions I hope that you can help me with. I have an asp page that is retrieving a bunch of records from an Access Database based on a field value (in my case its based on Department). They are then placed in a table format in the asp page. The user can then modify one or many records. Everything was working fine and then we upgraded our IIS Service from IIS5 to IIS6. Once we did that I started getting errors. I was able to update certain departments and not others. This told me the code was good and that the database permissions etc were good. It has to do specifically with the value or similar. I looked further and came to realize that it appears there were to many records to update. The Departments with a few records updated fine. THe ones with 500-1000 were erroring out. I went into the database and deleted the records from 1000 to 500 and everything works.
Does anyone know if there is a record limit to update?
Is there a function on ASP that I can use like Me.Dirty that will search first for updates and then just update the single record?
Is this a result of IIS6?
Here is a bit of my code: This is the area that it is bombing out on....I am not an expert and believe I might have hit an ARRAY size limit. Does that make sense?
Ok. I've got a table named SIPATable and some of the fields contain summed values. Let's say for instance I have a field named "GaDRaw", which represents a raw score. now...I need to update a field called "GaDPer", based upon the value in "GaDRaw". So...If "GaDRaw" <=16, then I would want "GaDPer" to be updated to = 35. Further, if "GaDRaw" = 17. then I want "GaDPer" to = 37. and so on....
I think it's an If Then Else statement, but not sure how or where to place it. Id like it to be as code under a command button, and update the table all at once. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Freud52
