Updating A Related Table
Jun 26, 2007
I have two databases, one containing the tables and one containing the forms and queries. The forms/query database is built from linked tables from the tables database. I would like to expand one of the fields from 7 characters to 9 characters. I planned on doing the in the table database, then updating the linked table. However, the table I need to alter has relationships with about 10 other tables and I get the (you cannot make changes to a related table error message). Is there a way I can make this change without deleting all the relationships?
For future reference, should the relationships have been created in the form/query database?
Thanks, N

I'm not sure why a couple tables are not being updated after entering data. I think my relationships are correct. I've attached the database.
steps:
open Main form
add addres then try to add an owner. it doesn't work the first time but it does work the second time. add test data and that works. now if you look at the related tables (OwnerInfo, WellLocation, TestData) they all have p_id which is the wellLocation Id
now open gernalinfo form
enter in info (tests requested doesn't work right now but you can click on them in the tbl GeneralInfo)
Now if you go to the table OwnerInfo and TestData the key p_id has not been updated. But it's there in WellLocation (ID).
Why are these tables not getting updated?

I decide to add a new field to its related table. I always wait to create the form until I think my table is complete, but sometimes I just end up needing to add more info. Is there a quick way to update the form to include my new fields?

Hi everyone!
My names james, im 18 and im a data manager for a school.
My schools database stores student data such as names, classes and exam grades. I have a table containing each students personal details such as name and address. Each pupil is assigned a unique PupilID which is the primary key. I then have a number of other tables linked to it with one to many relationships. Each of these tables holds a different set of exam results. The tables are linked through PupilID. The primary keys for the other tables are auto numbers.
The problem is this: when i add a new student to the Students table i cannot get their PupilID to automatically be entered into the other tables containing grades as part of a new field. How can i make this happen?
Thanks.

Ok due to user error (and my own fault for not archiving an old database) we now have two databases which have had data entered into with the same table structure.
The table structure we have at the moment is with the related field in []:
Propertytbl[Propertycode] is related to Systemtbl[sysID] which is related to Assessmenttbl.
There is also another Temperaturetbl linked to Systemtbl by [sysID]
The problem i have is sysID is an autonumber. I can't simply paste in the difference in data as the assessmenttbl records and Temperaturetbl records will point to a different system (as the sysID will change in the Systemtbl data)
Can anyone think how i can do this either through using queries or programmatically so that i don't have to enter 5000 records manually.
I've tried using append queries but this produces the same affect as above.
Many thanks

I have a combo box in my main form that gets its list of physician names from tblPhysician. When the physician is chosen and the record saved, it saves the PhysicianID to my main table, tblOncReg.
When I delete a physician, any record that had that name chosen continues to have that name in the record despite it being deleted from tblPhysician.
I thought that setting relationships would solve it, but when I select "Enforce Referential Integrity" and "Cascade Update Related Fields", I get an error saying "Invalid field definition 'ID' in definition of index or relationship.", and it doesn't set the relationship.
Would setting the relationship solve that problem?

Greetings.
As a relative newcomer to Access, I am having trouble deciding on how to design the form flow for updating and creating related records. I'm looking for a variety of suggestions so that I can decide what's best for the user and what's best for screen flow.
Here's the structure: I have what's called "an Event". Each Event can have multiple "Trials". Each "Trial" can multiple "Classes".
(This is the structure for a dog obedience competition)
Tables:
tblEvents - PK = eventID
tblTrials - PK = trialID, FK = eventID
tblTrialClass - PK = trialclassID, FK = trialID
Currently, for "display" or "browse": I have the following form structure:
frmEvents - single form format with a subform called sfrmTrialInfo, no navigation control - entry to this frmEvents is from an unbound pop-up form that uses a combobox to select the Event for viewing.
sfrmTrialInfo - single form format with a subform called sfrmTrailClass, has navigation control so that the user can display all trials for this event
sfrmTrailClass - continuous form format with navigation control so that user can display all classes for this trial.
My dilemma is what is the best method for letting the user create a NEW Event-Trials-Class structure. Right now I have a button on that pop-up that is used to create a NEW Event. It brings up a blank frmEvent form with the blank imbedded subforms. This is still in the design stage.
I want to have control over the data (as the user is typing ... don't let the user move forward until all requisite data is entered), but I, also, want to make the process relatively pain-free for the user.
Do you have any suggestions on a design?
Thanks, in advance, for your input. :)
Regards,
SueB

I have a form that has combo boxes and text fields (as well as sub forms). There is also a button linked to some code that says'
Private Sub cmdQuote_Click()
'Creates quote date and prints quote
Me.QuoteDate = Now()
Me.cbAgentID.Requery
DoCmd.OpenReport "Quote", acViewPreview, , "BookingID = " & Me.BookingID
End Sub
When the button is pressed the QuoteDate field (it is bound) should be be populated, but unfortunately it is not. I have played with refresh and requery but cannot derive a solution.

I previously created 2 tables:
One lists all the stock symbols and company names = SYMBOL
The second table lists the purchase information for each stock = PURCHASE
I then created many queries, etc. using this data. Symbol is the key link between the various tables, queries, etc.
NOW that I understand the lookup wizard in the data type, I would like to change the symbol field in the purchase table to a Lookup field. I, of course, receive a message. I am told to delete the relationship with the other tables. If I remove the relationships and change the data type, can I then replace the relationship with out damaging all the queries and forms?

I created 2 table that are linked to a link table so to get a many to many relationship.I have a table for locations and a table for parts.One location can have many parts and One part can belong to many locations, that is way the many to many relationship.
how to get values from the parts table to the Location table using the linked Primary Key in the foreign key linked field.The values also have to be interactive, if I change the value in the part table it needs to update in the location table.
What can I put in the field of the location table to get a specific value from the parts table?
I tried setting the field to calculated field and put the Dlookup function but that didn't work. The lookup wizard seems to be the solution, but I can only create combobox or list box and I need to select the value manually. I just need a value to be put automatically by looking at the foreign key.
If I put the Dlookup function on the default value, those it update if a value is changed in the part table?

Hello
Could you help me ?
My problem is :
I'm developing a ms database for the a "repair service" .
I created a table witch contains basic data from customer, including its unique ID number (key field), name and contacts ...
Now I need to store the "repair service" data from each costumer ( its time consumption, replaced materials...) in a separate table but, If I'm thinking well, I must have a table for each costumer so, I will need to link each individual "repair service" data table from each costumer to each costumer itself.
Do you know how to do this ?
Lots of thanks in advance,
Miguel

I have a very simple database with two tables. One stores Schools that I work for and the other holds people that work at that school.
I have a form that displays information from the schools table and I have a button that I want have open a form that displays the people that are related to that school.
THe problem is I can't figure out how to limit the recordset to just the people from the school record I was just viewing.
For example. I am looking at a record with School ID 1. I want to run a query on the People table that will return just the people that work for school id 1. I just can't figure out the criteria part.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi, I'm a total newbie at Access, and know nothing about scripts. I've been operating at the level of using the Wizards and drop-down menus. I am trying to create a report that does two things:
1. Displays the results of queries that sum data from a table (I think I have this figured) and
2. Displays those sums as a percentage of a number that is input each time the report is run. (This is only one number that comes from a totally different place and has no prior relation to the data.)
Any help/advice that anyone could offer would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

I have a table with an ID and PartNumber field.
Parts tbl
PartNumID PK(Auto)
PartNumber
Heres some example data:
1 M24308/2-2F
2 M24308/4-2F
3 ORD9F0000
4 ORD9M0000
5 D90000VLO
6 D90000JOO
How would I design the table to allow me to define alternatepart numbers and also related parts? For example:
Record 1 is the primary part and record 3 is the alternatepart.
Record 2 is the primary part and record 4 is the alternatepart.
Records 5 and 6 are related parts to records 1, 2, 3 and 4.
I have a form that allows the user to select a part and displaythe part data. But I also want the alternate parts and related parts displayedon the form, maybe in a subform with tabs. I havent gotten there yet because Icant determine the table design.

I have created a database for storing, query and deleting data. Now the user wants to delete a row from a table and create two new rows. In my opinion this will need lots of work in order to replace all related queries forms and reports in the form. Is there any whay to do my job more easy in modifing a table and all related items be modified by themself? I still do not have any data in the table but if I did will I loose those data?
Thanks.

Hello,
I'm not sure why I'm drawing a blank but I am. Could I please get a few suggestions on how you might organize these fields into tables?
These are not baseball stats fields. I'm keeping track of how often teams win over the years. I would like to do generate a team webpages showing all historical wins, losses and championships.
TeamID
TeamName
Year
Wins
Losses
AL_DivisionChampion (3 divisions in each league EAST,WEST, CENTRAL)
NL_DivisionChampion (3 divisions in each league EAST,WEST, CENTRAL)
AL_WildcardChampion
NL_WildcardChampion
ALCS_Champion
NLCS_Champion
WorldSeriesChampion
Initially I thought about YES/NO fields but there are so many variables. I need to know STL won the division but also that it was the NL Central.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Rob

Hi,
Need some help. Here's the problem:-
I've two fields in a table (A & B)
A B
1 Null
2 Null
3 1
4 2
5 3
6 5
7 Null
8 4
9 6
The fields are somehow related where values of B (unique) is taken from A(unique).
I trying to do an SQL such that if I input a single value A=9 or 6 or 5 or 3 or 1, the following should be the output:
A B
9 6
6 5
5 3
3 1
1 Null
Or in another case where I input a single value A=8 or 4 or 2
the following should be the output:
A B
8 4
4 2
2 Null
How can I do that? Many thanks in advance!! :D

Hi,
I've been trying to get this for ages now - both in the design view and in sql:
I have 2 tables - one called DrawingsRegister and a related one called DrawingRevisions. Each drawing has one or more drawing revisions. I want a query that will show each drawing (just once) that has more than one revision:
SELECT tblDrawingsRegister.DrawingNum, tblDrawingsRegister.DrawingName, tblDrawingRevisions.DrawingNum
FROM tblDrawingsRegister INNER JOIN tblDrawingRevisions ON tblDrawingsRegister.DrawingNum = tblDrawingRevisions.DrawingNum
WHERE ((Count([tblDrawingRevisions]![DrawingNum])>"0"));
Thanks for your time,
RCurtin.

I want a query selecting records from table1 based upon a value in table2 -
table1 contains thousands of records - fields include VendorNo and VendorName
table2 contains a single record - fields include VendorSearchName (which is a "short name")
I am trying to create a query which lists all VendorNo and VendorName entries where VendorName contains VendorSearchName
eg. VendorSearchName = "Fred" will list VendorNames including "Fred Flinstone", "Big Fred" etc
