Update Only If Null
Apr 22, 2005
I have an event procedure that enters the date shipped and closes a job out when the tracking number is scanned in our system.
How can I make this so it won't overwrite the date shipped (SHIPDATE) if there is already somethng entered? And/Or how do I change this so it will only be when the tracking number is entered not just copied, etc. Would that be on update and not lost focus?
Here is the code:
Private Sub UPSNO_LostFocus()
Dim da As Variant
If IsEmpty(Me.UPSNO.Value) = False Then
Me.SHIPDATE.Value = DATE
Else
End If
If IsEmpty(Me.UPSNO.Value) = False Then
Me.CLOSEDJOB.Value = True
Else
End If
End Sub
Thanks

Hi,
I have been tasked with completing an audit of approximately 10,000 items, to which I have generated a list of 40 questions (fields) for each record. I began collating the information in Excel, but found myself getting lost and even experienced major data loss on at least 2 occasions. I have now decided to ditch Excel and use Access 2003 instead.
I have imported my master spreadsheet, however as I have various contacts sending in their respective information in Excel spreadsheets with same types of fields, and also need to import data that has already been sent in. I’m thinking that it would be better for me to create update and append queries, especially as there is going to be a stage 2, where I will be requesting additional (field) information.
There is a big chance that some of the contacts will send in info for the same item (record), which means that there is a risk of duplication, which I have removed as I have a unique identifier which will be the primary key! Is that right or should it be indexed?
The main problem that I have is that I want Access to ignore the target cell if it has a value in it! Meaning that I would not like Access 2003 to overwrite the cell with valid data in it, with a blank cell! As I need the database to grow!
Can anyone suggest a way that I can do this please.
TIA

On a push of a button from a form, I want to locate specific records within the table and update a field to Null if it matches a name
Dim strSQL As String
strSQL = "UPDATE tblmaster SET Score = "" WHERE [AdvocateName] = 'Anna Maria'"
DoCmd.RunSQL (strSQL)
I'm certain I don't have the syntax correct between the Set to Null and WHERE clauses..

My issue is that I am trying to update a date field. When I do the date field may have a date or may be a null. When I try to pass in a NULL date with no quotes, I get a syntax error. When I have single quotes in the statement and a null value is passed in, I get an invalid use of date.
Dim DENIEDDATE1 As Date
If (Not IsDate(rs.Fields("DENIED_DATE"))) Then
DENIEDDATE1 = Null
Else
DENIEDDATE1 = "'" & rs.Fields("DENIED_DATE") & "'"
End If
update table1 set table1.denieddate = " & denieddate1 & " 'get Update syntax error with this statement
update table1 set table1.denieddate = '" & denieddate1 & "' 'fails due to invalid use of null

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 do not understand what is happening here. I have foll0wing line in a calculated query field:
m: Switch([EmpID]<5,1) ' run Query 18 in attached example, A2007/2010
this produces 1 for all EmpID<5 and Null for all other EmpID's. All as expected.
But if I do this:
m: Switch([EmpID]<5,1,[EmpID]>=5,Null) ' run Query 19 in attached example
then the entire column is set to Null

It might be an easy one but I just wasted the past hour deciphering through my code in order to solve the run-time error '94' that I'm getting when trying to execute the following code:
Code:
Private Sub cmdUpdateDates_Click()
'###################################
'This sub aims at combining the timesheet date and the start and end time into the fields [Start Time] and [End Time].
'###################################
Dim intCounter As Integer
intCounter = 0
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
[Code] ....

Hello all,
A bit of a weird one, I've got a query and the criteria for showing records is that one particular field is null. However the query is showing records with the values in the field chosen for the Is Null.
Not sure why this is happening, has anyone come across this problem before?
Thanks.

I think the title pretty much sums it up....
I have a query where data is first sorted by user input; first field's criteria: [fieldname], then by another field's criteria: Is Null.
I know there are records containing null values in the second field, as I have run a select query with the criteria: Like "*", to make sure they are null, and not zero-length-strings.
The query is refusing to return any results...
Any ideas?

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

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()

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

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.

I personally believe 'NULL' should be banned as a possibility entirely. :eek:
It has been pounded into my head that 'NULL' is not the same as 'EMPTY' or 'ZERO'; and that it literally means 'NOT KNOWN'. Now consider a contact database that has a field for lets say Apt# or Street Direction such as N or S or ?? as an example. There are many, many instances where these fields would be left blank or empy: NULL | NOT KNOWN. When in fact the situation is known: the object has no such attribute; and in query or some other form of program logic the venerable NZ(subject, response) function may be used which would replace the NULL with a value. Or program logic and or error trapping would be used to handle such occasions. Which is an absurd waste of time and talent IMHO.
Therefore, if there is no applicable attribute to enter (something known) why not say so with 'N/A'? Else what we are saying by using 'NULL' is that we are building a dataset containing data that cannot be known. Kind of like saying
This statement is FALSE

When filtering by form I suddenly get the words: Is Null / Is Not Null appearing in the drop down menu of all fields.
I can then no longer filter at all?
This is carried over to filter by form too!
When I export, or cut and paste the records into my backup database (filters working ok before I do!) the same thing happens!
Can anyone help….please?
