I've found myself having to start using Access due to record limits. My reports come to me in Excel and go out in Excel, but by sheer quantity I need to store records in Access.
My problem is in an Update Query:
I import records into a 'DoNotDelete' table and then run an update query to the 'CallsEntered' table. After that I run a Delete query to clear the 'DoNotDelete' table for next time.
The problem is that 'CallsEntered' table is updating the 'DoNotDelete' table.
I know this is simple, but I've done what the "manuals" say to (as far as I can tell). Your time is appreciated.
UPDATE DoNotDelete INNER JOIN CallsEntered ON DoNotDelete.[Work Order Nbr] = CallsEntered.[Work Order Nbr] SET CallsEntered.[Wo Status] = CallsEntered![Wo Status], DoNotDelete.[Date CheckIn] = CallsEntered![Date CheckIn], DoNotDelete.[Assigned Installer] = CallsEntered![Assigned Installer];
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?
I'm new to access and I'm trying to learn the functionality by creating a relational DB for US zip codes from an excel document. I've imported everything and I have the tables setup. Is there a way to run a MYSQL query like this:
UPDATE tbllocation, tblzipcode SET tbllocation.ZipID = tblzipcode.ZipID WHERE tbllocation.ZipID = tblzipcode.ZipCode;
I have summarized a table(a) of 589 records into a table of 119 records(b).
I am trying to calculate a factor in (a) as a percentage of the total in (b) for each record in (a).
(a) can have multiple records for each corresponding, summarized record in (b).
I do this by dividing each of the many records in (a) by a summarized record in (b) with a common field in both.
Basically, I am dividing
Round(([(a)]![netchrg] / [(b)]![netchrg]),8)
All I get is 0.00000000
I have checked my join relationships. I started by checking the 2nd bubble. It did not work. Eventually, I have tried selecting all three bubbles on the joins and that does not get me any different values.
I would have thought that the 2nd bubble would have given me all of (a) and match it to the the records is (b) for the calculation.
I have even tried eliminating the joins completely but I still get a 0 value.
I have verified that both tables have values in the netchrg field.
Hi all, I am generating a multi source concatenated code with an update query in Microsoft Access. I am wondering if there is a way to cut the update to only new entries rather than updating all records each time the query is run.
I have 2 tables, trying to update one table filed by using max(onefiled) from other table.
my qyery is as follows:
my tables are tblSubFlowForecast and tblPickCalendar
I have to update one field in tblSubFlowForecast by taking max(onefiled) from tblPickCalendar.
UPDATE tblSubFlowForecast INNER JOIN tblPickCalendar ON tblSubFlowForecast.Delivery=tblPickCalendar.Delive ry SET tblSubFlowForecast.[Latest Replen Date] = ( SELECT max(Pick) FROM tblPickCalendar WHERE Type="Replen");
I am getting error saying that "Operation must be an updateable query" :(
I have also tried in other way:
UPDATE tblSubFlowForecast SET [Latest Replen Date] = (SELECT max(Pick) FROM tblPickCalendar WHERE tblSubFlowForecast.Delivery=tblPickCalendar.Delive ry AND tblPickCalendar.Type="Replen" ) FROM tblSubFlowForecast,tblPickCalendar
This is giving me syntax error (missing operator) :(
Can any body tell me why it is giving error? Thanks in advance
I want update a table (in Access 2010) based on the results from a pass-through query that pulls data from an old Fox Pro database.
With the following query I push data into my access table (everything works fine):
Code:
INSERT INTO Bolle ( esercizio, numero_documento, ...) SELECT Bolle_Arca.[esercizio], Bolle_Arca.[numero_documento], Bolle_Arca.[testata_codice], ... FROM Bolle_Arca WHERE Bolle_Arca.[testata_codice] NOT IN (SELECT Bolle.testata_codice FROM Bolle)
When I try to update the same table using the same pass-through query:
Code: UPDATE Bolle INNER JOIN Bolle_Arca ON Bolle.riga_codice = Bolle_Arca.riga_codice SET Bolle.esercizio = Bolle_Arca.esercizio , Bolle.numero_documento = Bolle_Arca.numero_documento, ... WHERE Bolle.spedito = False and Bolle.data_invio_mail_spedito is null and (Bolle.tracking is null or Bolle.tracking = '') and Bolle.testata_codice = Bolle_Arca.testata_codice;
I get this error: "Operation must use an updatable query"
I have a database that logs complaints. I've added a field to calculate the age of a complaint based on the date received and the date resloved. To update this field I have an update query that runs after someone closes an update form. My problem is that I recieve two dialog boxes one that confirms that I'm will be updating the table and another that tells me how many rows were updated. I would not like those boxes to appear so the update would look transparent.
My boss and I are in a jam. We have been using Access to run a reporting process, but one of our tables will exceed the maximum fields allotted this month. Our thought, dump the table into SQL Server and use the GUI interface provided in Access Projects.
Unfortunately, the query designer seems to have a few drawbacks. The one that effects us the most is in using UPDATE queries where more than one table is used to determine records to be updated. In attempting it, we get the message: "The designer does not graphically support the Optional FROM clause SQL construct".
Now I know we can manually create Update Queries, but we often need 1,000+ in a short period of time. Manually punching in all the fields involved and other code just isn't timely.
Question: Is there some alternative, service pack or anything else that would allow us to graphically create these Update Queries using Access Projects or even SQL Server 7.0? I would hate to have to scrap all the work we did over something that seems so minor.
I have an Access crosstab query that I have exported to an Excel Spreadsheet. I have the spreadsheet formatted using conditional formatting and I'd rather not have to reset it every morning. It's a single spreadsheet (the columns/rows will not deviate greatly day to day) and should be very simple, but I'm not getting it for some reason.
So if I have "Test.accdb" and it contains "qryX" as my crosstab and "Sheet1.xls" is my formatted Excel spreadsheet, how do I code for the latest "QryX" to go in and replace the old "QryX" data in "Sheet1.xls" ?
Access doesn't seem to recognize the values in a table I am updating. I am using an update query to revise prices in a column Titled "Price". I am comparing the prices in the Price column to the prices in another column with a simple IIF statement (i.e., IIF([Price]=[Column2Price],"Yes","No"). However, oddly, the formula produces a "No" result, even when the prices are plainly the same values, and all formatting for both columns is the same. Whenever I manually type over the price with the same value, the formula works and Access seems to work as intended. For example, I simply type "12.95" over the same value that is displaying in the column that I updated that is already showing "12.95". Then, after I do that, the formula works and produces a "Yes" value.
trying to create an update query to Budget table using the Access Design View:
Field: PctSls (in tblBudget) Update to: [Expense] / [Sales]. The update query always returns 0. However, if I create a Select query using the same calculation, the correct results is displayed. PctSls is defined in the Budget table.
I haven't worked with Access (2003) for several years but this seems too simple to be causing me such frustration. (Was only a casual user even then).
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.
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 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.
You are the only people can help me .my problem is with a ict project and as you can see i have a database as in the picture .want to do is that when i enter a value in the dvd id in the rent table i also want the dvd Title to be automatically updated with the correspondong value . Hope you can save the day thnx in advance.
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. http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/8181/temtinv00210fp.jpg (http://imageshack.us)
I run a physical therapy office and patients come in for treatment either 3, 4 or 5 times per week. My database is used to track these frequencies (among other things).
I have 3 queries which count how many patients come in 5, 4 and 3 times/week.
In my main table I have fields called "how many 5's", "how many 4's" and "how many 3's".
I have tried to design an update query which will update those fileds in my main table to reflect the counts in the 3 queries mentioned above.
(I'm not using SQL view, I'm using the query design view)
In the "update to:" row, I use the Build function and locate the count I'm looking for.
Problem: when I run the query I get the error: Operation must use an updateable query.
I have this problem that when I update the value in one of my tables, MS Access hangs up. I don't know why. I dont know if it's because of the updating or because of something else.. Any help would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks in advance! ;)

ps. How do I mark a post as 'resolved'? Coz I have a previous post which has already been solved.. Thanks to all of you guys. ;)
Used to use these forums quite regularly and always found people to be of help, even started chipping in occasionally with the odd pearl myself :rolleyes:
Anyhow, having forgotten my username i'm back under a different guise and have a problem that i'd like some help with.
My company has a website running asp (not .NET) with an sql database backend. Basically we want a localised system to deal with order processing with daily updates to customer, order tables etc. I started to build something in VB and SQL but time is critical and once I work out this problem I can churn something out in access double quick time.
I can get the ODBC connection open to the sql database and import the data to Access 2007 table (ie dbo_tblOrders), but I then need to find/write some code to fetch extra records daily and append them to the EXISTING tables. At present data is fetched and added to a new table. Is it merge queries I need? If so how, and can I set it to only fetch new records?
I have two tables that are identical in format. They contain different primary keys. I want to combine them into one table. I have tried to set up a table with all the primary keys of both tables and do an update. I keep getting invalid argument. The sql statement is valid. The problem appears to be the field with OEL object. In access 97 I have know problem. Does any one know how to solve this problem? The table in 2003 is too big to convert to access 97.
I am trying to update the tables of 1 access database from another access database. Does anyone know the call function or how would I go about doing that?
I have a simple table "Line" with Columns Key, OrderNumb, Panels, Gates, Posts, Color, Memo, Comp. A user enters the information into the powder.asp page. It is then added to the database. The Comp Column is populated NO by a hidden input type. The data is then displayed on a page in a table and the last column has a submit button. When the user Presses that button I would like it to update that record in the database to change Comp to YES. Some code snipits are below. The first is where the data is presented and where the submit button is. It then will go to the next snippet that hypotheticly will change just the Comp on that record to YES. I can't get it to work. Thanks Code:<form method="POST" action="powder_comp.asp"> <tr> <td valign="top" align="left"><%= rs("OrderNumb") %></font></td> <td valign="top" align="left"><%= rs("Panels") %></font></td> <td valign="top" align="left"><%= rs("Gates") %></font></td> <td valign="top" align="left"><%= rs("Posts") %></font></td> <td valign="top" align="left"><%= rs("Color") %></font></td> <td valign="top" align="left"><%= rs("Memo") %></font></td><td valign="top" align="left"><input type=hidden name="OrderNumb" value="<%=rs("OrderNumb")%>"><input type="submit" value="submit"></form></font></td> Code:<%OrderNumb=request.form("OrderNumb")accessdb="Powder" cn="DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};"cn=cn & "DBQ=" & server.mappath(accessdb)Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")sql = "SELECT * FROM Line Where OrderNumb=OrderNumb ;"rs.CursorType = 2rs.LockType = 3rs.Open sql, cnrs.Updatesql = "UPDATE Line Set Comp=Yes"rs.CloseSet rs = NothingSet cn = Nothing%><META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=powder.asp"> I'm still very new to this so please go easy on me.
