UCase Does Not Work In A Query
Oct 27, 2006A few years ago, I wrote an application in Access 2000 that worked fine. Last year I upgraded to Access 2003. Everything works the same, but the UCase, Left and Right text functions give error messages when used in queries. Anyone have a way to fix this?::confused:

Ucase Question...
Jun 23, 2005We have a situation where mail sent to Canada using the mail merge is being returned because it's not in all caps. I've used the following code in each fields after update:
Me.ActiveControl = UCase(Me.ActiveControl)
What I'd like to do is make it so only the Canadian addresses are in upper case. This would be determined by what is in the state field. AB, BC, etc. Any U.S. address would need to be in proper case where the first letter of each word is capitalized.
Can this be done?

I'm using code which convertes names of costumer into upper case when user type the name into control. But there is a problem.

Code:
Private Sub Customer_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
On Error Resume Next
KeyAscii = Asc(UCase(Chr(KeyAscii)))
End Sub

UCase Function Not Recognised
Apr 14, 2006In my Access 2000 database I have a form which displays patients' treatment details.
I have a text box in which the Forename and Surname are concatenated to display the full name and the Surname is included in a UCase function so that it is displayed in capitals:
=[tblPatient.Forename] & " " & UCase([tblPatient.Surname])
This works fine on my office computer (XP professional), but when I run it on my home machine (XP Home) in order to carry out further development, the UCase function is not recognised. I get the #Name? message in the text box and if I try altering the formula I get the message:
The function you entered can't be used in this expression
*You may have used a DoEvents, LBound, Ubound, Spc or Tab function in an expression
*You may have used an SQL aggregate function, such as Count, in a design grid or in a calculated control or field
As far as I know, the versions of Access are exactly the same on my home and office machines.
Is anyone able to shed any light on why this function works on one machine and not the other?
Thanks,
Jules
UCase Function Problem
Nov 1, 2004I am taking an online Access class.
I have an assigment to create an Update Query.
The Update Query is to prompt name entry in all lower case, then convert it to upper case.
The Update Query must do the formatting, no utilizing the Input Mask.
This is the code I thought would work.
Field: Firstname
Table: Good Data
Update: UCase([Firstname])
Criteria: [Enter first name in lower case]
The parameter box part of the Query runs fine. When I run the Query the parameter dialog appears instructing you to enter your firrst name in lower case. After I enter the name in lower case & click "OK" the reponse is "You are about to update 0 row(s).". There is nothing entered in the table when I check it.
Can anyone tell me what I need to change to make the Query update the table with the uppercase name?
Thanks,
Yaani-Mai
Problem With Lcase And Ucase Data In Table
Apr 12, 2006Hello friends,
I have data in my table field as "Orange" and some other entries in as all lower cases "orange", which really should be representing the same values.
Now when i use SQL in my modules to query and process this data, or create my report, it collects them as different values i.e. "Orange" is selected as one category and "orange" as another category, when really it should be getting them all (Orange, orange, ORAnge) as one category.
Perhaps this is a basic question, but everything i have tried doesn't seem to work. Can anyone tell me the best way to handle this?
Can I Get An Update Query To Not Add Records To Tables Only Update?
Jun 28, 2005Hi 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

Using Criteria To Update Fields In A Update Query
Nov 29, 2006Ok, 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

Feb 10, 2008I 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

Using Update Query To Update Values
Oct 3, 2007I 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 RelatedUpdate Query Will Not Update!
Aug 16, 2005I 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.

Queries :: Update A Query Based On Results From Another Query Using Count Function
Apr 2, 2013I 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.
Forms :: Update Form / Query Without Updating Underlying Tables To Query
Jul 23, 2015I have a form which will be used as the basis to print a label.
It is bound to a query and when I open the form I pass over a 'where' condition to return 1 record. I then use the query to produce a report/label.
What I want to do is to update the form/query without updating the underlying tables to the query.
Update Query - Operation Must Use An Updateable Query
Jan 8, 2007Hi,
As an Access novice I am trying to do a simple update of a table but keep getting an annoying error:
I have 2 tables - Products and OrderDetails
Products
ProductID
Description
StockQuantity
OrderDetails
OrderID
ProductID
Quantity
Basically I want to update the Products.StockQuantity column to subtract the sum of all orders in the OrderDetails table.
So if Product A started with a StockQuantity of 5, and there are 3 Order_Details record, each with a quantity of 2, the query should update the Products.StockQuantity record to -1.
I have tried a few permutations such as:
UPDATE PRODUCTS
set PRODUCTS.StockQuantity = PRODUCTS.StockQuantity - (
SELECT SUM(OrderDetails.Quantity)
FROM ORDERDETAILS
WHERE ORDERDETAILS.ProductID = PRODUCTS.ProductID);
but I seem to keep getting the following error:
"Operation must use an updateable query"
Help - I'm tearing my hair out here!!
Thanks,
Keith
Added A Table To My Query, Now My Query Will Not Let Me Update It.
May 2, 2007Okay I have two tables in a query.tblMain and tblStatestblStates has a control number and a state name.tblMain has the same control number as well as a bunch of customer info.The query is simply tblMain.* and then the state name from tblStates.It pulls the information correctly when I link the control number. However, I cannot update the information.If it just has the tblMain table in the query then I can update everything. As soon as I add the tblStates I can't update anything, even if I don't link the two together. Can someone help me figure out what is going on?The reason I have to have a seperate table is that this is for pulling a contracted state which can be different than the customers state, and the only way it is listed in our system is by number so it has to use this number as a reference and then pull up the state name.

Jun 15, 2005Hi,
I have an update query which when run will update a stock field. The problem I'm having is only one record is getting updated. Here's my code:
Private Sub cmdReceive_Click()
If Me.PORec.Value = False Then
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryUpdateStockRec", acViewNormal, acEdit
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
Me.PORec.Value = True
Else
MsgBox "This purchase order has already been received. If you need to adjust stock please do so by going to Database Maintenance."
End If
End Sub
The update query is looking at the PartID in a subform. There are 3 records in this subform and only the first record gets updated.
Thanks

Update Query
Nov 4, 2005Hello everyone,
This ones has me really confused, I hope I explain it ok...
I have a form which is filtered by numerous combo boxes. A 'Compare' field (yes/no) allows the user to add the data to a query that is used as the RecordSource for a comparison report.
On the form is a 'Select All' button which runs an update query to set the 'Compare' field to true for every field that matches the criteria in the combo boxes (and where Compare = False).
This has worked brilliantly until the most recent field that I've added. I created a seperate query which counts the records in another table (linked by the main table's primary key; 1:M). The results are included in the main query so that I can filter the results by that.
This Counting field has been added as a criteria of the update query because this is necessary for 'Select All' to select the values in the current view/filter. When I click 'Select All' however the message reads "Operation must use an updateable query". :confused:
I guess it's a refential integrity problem or something (the PK fields are joined only by a general/standard relationship - have changed this in query view with no success). Searching this error message on the web brings up stuff about servers and the like and I'm only developing this db locally.
I've tried writing an SQL subquery with no success and think it would result in the same error anyway
Any suggestions as to the cause/solution of the problem?
Thanks a lot,
Bobadopolis
