I have two tables. First table "Orders" is parent, secondary "Works" is child.
In Works on button event in field work_status i have the number, for example "6", which i must have in parent table "Orders" in field status_id. Criteria of this tables is order_id. What i must use? Update or copy? or Insert?
I have a problem....
How can I copy data from one column in a table to another colunm, with WHERE and UPDATE?
And how can I find the data, which is the closest, for example using LIKE '%'
UPDATE tag_info,tag_info_kilde SET tag_info.TAG_DESCRIPTION = [tag_info_kilde].[TAG_DESCRIPTION_KILDE]
WHERE [tag_info].[TAG_NAME]=[tag_info_kilde].[TAG_NAME_KILDE];
Hi
I have a column in a table which I need to display in another table I can just copy and paste it but I need to it to update with the original. I don’t want to have to use a list or combo box as the data has to be selected from them and isn’t just displayed like the original column.
Thanks
Hi all,
I have two tables and one of them (table1) has two fields called
pct_id and pct_name.
table2 has the field pct_id.
I also created a new field in table2 called pct_name.
What i'd like to do is set table2.pct_name=table1.pct_name wherever
table1.pct_id=table2.pct_id automatically.
Is there a query that can check to see if its the same and update table2?
Heres what i tried but it didnt work
UPDATE table1
SET table1.pct_name=table2.pct_name
WHERE ((table1.pct_id)=(table2.pct_id));
Thanks in advance
What's the best way in an update query, using access 2003, to update data in a record based on the previous record having an identical value in a certain field?
For example my data looks something like this, in this example I want row 2 to fill in the blanks with the data from row 1 as they both have the same ID number at the end highlighted in red:
1 2 Anywhere Street 1 2 1 1 5423
2 4 Anywhere Street . . . . 5423
3 6 Anywhere Street 1 2 1 1 6401
4 8 Anywhere Street 1 2 1 1 6402
I've found various threads here on how to copy the whole record but I only want to copy the data from certain fields. More oftem than not the fields I'll be copying to will be NULL.
how to reference a field from the previous record within an update query I could probably work it out from there?
I have a simple data entry form on which there are about 30 to 40 data fields to be update by users. One of the field is called "Stage" which is a combo box with 2 entries "Formal Case" and "Informal Case" with no default value whien a form is first opened.
Users will normally create a data entry which updates the table and save.
However if in future users open any one existing record and try to change Stage field from Informal to Formal or vice a versa I would then like this action to
1) update a time stamp concatinated with the stage change value in a text field perhaps
2) save/close the form
3) open a new form with all the existing entries(plus changed status of "Stage Field") with a new record ID and new time stamp.
I am trying to run a simple update query to copy data from one column (Addrl1)to another column (Working_Addrl1) within the same file and I can't for the life of me figure it out. Then I need to repeat for addrl2 and addrl3 to working_addrl2 and working_addrl3.

I thank you in advance for considering this inquiry.
From within a Form.field (based on a master table query), I desire to trigger two events; one before update and one after update.
This function will serve to document specific form.field value changes to a "log" table for review prior to being committed back to the master table.
What I'm looking for are functions, which I can use in a Macro or VBA code to facilitate a field read and copy before change and a read and copy after change triggering.
I'm sure this is absurdly simple.
Hi there,
Can someone help me on this issue?
I want to copy Postal Address Information to Visit Address Information wthin the same record, in my Contact Database that I am building at the moment.
I want to copy 4 fields to 4 other fields within the same Record.
This the current code I use for the Copy-button:
---
Private Sub cmdCopyFields_Click()
Dim v1 As Variant
Dim v2 As Variant
Dim v3 As Variant
Dim v4 As Variant
v1 = Me!Field_a.Value
v2 = Me!Field_b.Value
v3 = Me!Field_c.Value
v4 = Me!Field_d.Value
RunCommand acCmdRecordsGoToNew
Me!Field_e = v1
Me!Field_f = v2
Me!Field_g = v3
Me!Field_h = v4
End Sub
---
The underlined part (acCmdRecordsGoToNew) is false part of this code, because it copies the Adress Info to a new record, instead of copying it in the same.
-Is there someone that can help me with this problem, to make the copy-button in the Form run properly?
-Are there other options to achieve te same?
I have put in a attachment, to give you guys a visual example of what I mean.
Thanks in advance,

Would it be ok just to make a copy of the BE file (every so often) rather than to make a copy via code?The user can then just paste over the original if it becomes corrupt.
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy 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'm using 2 db one local (LocalDb) and one on a server (serverDb). If the localDB don't have a connection with the server it use a copy of serverDB that local is.
Now must it be possible by clicking a button (in localDB) to copy the database serverDB to its local location.
Is this possible? So yes how?
thanks

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

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.
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()

This is actually a rephrase of the scenario I posted in the other thread yesterday.

name *****
Date of birth **/*****

Is it possible to copy and paste all the information in one go from the email and paste everything into its correct places on a form with one action? This would save alot of time & effort on the users part.
Many Thanks

In the attached db I have a form I use in datasheet view to show data. I have an attached subform that the user updates. The user opens the subform by clicking on the + sign to open the subform, the updates the fields clicks the + sign again to close the form. Then repeats for the next record. What I would like to happen is when the user clicks the + sign again to go to a new form is to have the data from the fields below to auto popualte the new form instance. I could do this with a continuous form and it worked but the users would like to see the data in a datasheet design. Is this possible? Thanks...
Me("Type").DefaultValue = """" & Me("Type").Value & """"
Me("Severity").DefaultValue = """" & Me("Severity").Value & """"
Me("EventStatus").DefaultValue = """" & Me("EventStatus").Value & """"
Me("AdminDate").DefaultValue = """" & Me("AdminDate").Value & """"
Is there a copy function in a query.
I need to copy a field from the direct previous record in a table and have it loop till the end.
Any thoughts?
Thanks everyone.
Your time is appreciated.
I have 4 different sites with their own data source and have created 33 Queries for the first site. Is there a way I can copy the queries to the other sites instead of recreating them manually? All sites have their own data that is in the same format. All the information is in the same format and similar (different amounts, dates, but all in amount and date fields), they are named differently corresponding to their sites.
EX:
Site 1Site 2
Data 1Data 1
Data 2Data 2
33 Queries(needs the same queries as site 1)
