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 have a "Marking" function in my database. The function is so that I can mark certain records, then print reports for only those records. When the database is opened I have set it up to run a Query. The query is a Update Query and it unmark all marked records.
However, when the query runs 2 Microsoft Access message box pop up.
the first says "You are about to run an update query that will modify data in your table."
the second one says "You are about to Update # row(s)."
Does anybody know of a way to automatically have yes be chosen on both message boxes so there are no pop ups?
I would like to have an update (requery) button on my form, that when clicked opens a message box that asks "ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO UPDATE?", if yes, a yes button is pushed, which requeries the record and closes the message box. If a no button is pushed, the message box is closed without requerying the record.
Can someone walk me through the process?
Hi
I have form with a series of text boxes in which users can edit the data that is populated in them. For one of the text boxes I want to add an after update event, so that if the user changes the value in the text box, a message window appears telling them to click on the submit button at the bottom of the form.
Does anyone know the code that I should use to make this message appear when the value in the text box is changed?

Microsoft office access didn't update 1 field due to a type conversion failure, 0 record(s) due to key violation, 0 records due to lock violaation and 0 records due to validation rule violations
Hi again all,
Im wondering how I can stop the messages that pop up when im about to run a update query,
I get the following
1. You are about to run a update query blah blah....
2. You wont be able to undo the changes this action blah blah
3. You are about to update X Rows
Idealy Id love to be able to turn off the messages in just this query, and not globally over the whole database, can this be done?
Also, Id like to get a error if there is one.. so only stop those message that are currently showing...
Any help would be awesome,
Cheers Ezy
I need to create a message box or a form or something to flash on the screen to tell the user that a piece of "Update" code is running. the update code will be updated reports from marketing returns, but the 3 branches who use the information are separate so I am creating an update form to download and update the table.
The code for the update is already working, but can take a while, so I thought a message or splash screen would be useful as the update runs on start up.
It would have another use, I have a report which is made mainly of calculated fields on an onPrint event and also takes a while to work it out, so a similar screen would be more useful than my current spinning circle and blank screen.
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

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

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()

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 RelatedJust wondering if someone can point me in the right direction so that i can solve my problem?
Basically what i have is a select query that carries out some calculations based on data entered. These calculations are expressions as i am sure you guys know. what i want to do is put the value from the expression/calculation into my table in the correct fields made for these values. However i have tried everything i can think of to get this data into the tables fields but to no avail.
example. Expr1: [field1]*[field2] the answer created by [Expr1] is the value i want to be placed in [field3]
Can anyone help me on how i can do this

I have created 6 update queries that take data from 6 different tables (created using crosstab queries) and place it into a single table. I ran each query after i had created it. The first worked fine. However, the next five simply updated the specified fields with the same data from the first update query!
The only explanation i could think of for this was that maybe the data was being cached as a result of the way i created the queries. I created each update query by editing and renaming the previous one. Was this a big mistake?!
Hi all -
I'm going to reveal my actual lack of knowledge here but I am needing help again. I need to update a temp table with information from a select query. But, for the life of me I can't seem to get it set right so that it will update.
The one caveat that I have (at least one, there may be more I am not thinking of) is that there is no ID number that is associated with the product descriptions in the temp table. In fact, it is a combination of 3 fields that make up a unique record - it is PartDescName, PartType, and PartObjName.
The design of most of this stuff is not my doing, but I have to live within this design as I am only one of many developers working on this and I don't have much say in how some of this goes off.
So, anyway, if anyone has some suggestions for me as to how to be able to use an update query to update the fields in a different table, that would be great. The only way I've found so far is to iterate through as a recordset and place the values in the appropriate column when all three identification columns match the three in the other table. This is takes quite a long time for it to do and would be not customer friendly when trying to view a report based on this data.
I'm looking for a way to fill out 5 records in one row in a table at once. I want to update a supplier and price per unit for supplier via a form. I have price per unit 1-5 and the price will be the same for all 5 records. Is there a way to do this through append or update query and if so which is best in my situation?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI am facing problem regarding updating of certain field of table. For example i would like to take data from a column of Table1 and would like insert that data into particular column in Table2.
Suppose Table One has data:
Table 1
ID Name amount
1 a 0
34 b 0
3 ab 0
Table2
ID Name amount
34 a 400
1 b 900

There are about 2000 records in each table.I would like to update column "Amount" of Table1 by taking data from Table2 "Amount" Field. how can i update the amount column by keeping the ID field?
This is a very simple problem most likely for the masses, but I am new to access. I have employees who enter will enter information about specific tests on electronics components into separate tables by a form. I know my method is poor, but this is how it works. I got assigned this database at my internship this summer because they ran out of thigns for me to do.....I've never even used access before, so as long as it works, they're happy. I have a form which which writes to a first table with 20 fields. I then have separate update queries which take the data in the first table and put it in all the other tables. Trust me, i know this is pretty much the opposite of the whole point of a relational database, but I am and was limited by time, for the size of the database they want, there was no time to learn about normalization etc etc. Sorry this is wordy, but THE QUESTION is......if they run multiple tests wtih the same information for some of the fields I have fields named "Run#, Unit#, Date" etc, even if there is records wtih the same information, hwo do i get it all to show. Right now, it seems to be rewriting over the same records. If they run 3 tests on unit 10 on August 1st, how do i get it so all those show up. I think its somethign wtih in the table, for the primary keys, changing the Index: No, Yes(Duplicates) Yes(No Duplicates) but I could be way off. Thanks, if the question doesnt make sense i'll try to rephrase it, I apologize I'm running on about 45 min of sleep:confused:

Hi,Not sure where to post this as it covers both queries, forms and partly tables.ISSUE:I need to add two records to a query with one record in a form. Is this possible?BACKGROUND:This is a database with TV programs and the times they are to be broadcast. Tables:One table. "table_programs" contains the information about each program (title, description, length etc.). The other table, "table_times" has the times for the programs (date, start_time etc.), where one program can be shown multiple times.Query:There is one query, "query_programtimes", that combines the above two tables + two calculation fields. One calculates the end time of a program by adding the start time (from the times table) and the length (from the programs table). The other calculates a file name, based on the weekday of the date field.Form:The form is based on the "table_programs" table, with the "query_programtimes" as the data source for a subform. There I enter a program and in the sub-form one or more times for it to be broadcast.So far so good. The form adds one record to the query for each time that a program is broadcast.Now what I'd like to do is to add another record in the query for each scheduled time. That is for entering a file that will be played when a program is finished. That is, it'll take its title from the file name that is calculated in the query and the scheduled programs end time as its start time.Alternatively, and perhaps even better, this data could be in its own query and then a third query can combine the two to get the full schedule.Is there any way to do this? That is, one entry in the form is supposed to update two queries at the same time.Hope I made myself clear... :)Thanks!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have set up a table (A) that is linked to another table(B) in my database. This linked table (A) is then used in a number of queries. When the data in the original table (A) is updated it does update the data in the linked table (B) as it should. However, when I run the queries they do not bring up any records. It seems that they are not looking at an updated version of the linked table (A) because if I rebuild the query it finds the records as it should. Any advice on this would be very gratefully received.
