I have a form that updates a table. It's got some convaluted logic (I didn't write it I swear ). I am trying to add some VB code so that when the form closes, the table (TableA) opens, all records are selected, and any commas are replaced by periods. The table should then be saved and close.
I know how to open, select records, save, and close, but I can figure out how to get it to do the find and replace. Any takers?
Thanks,
B
Hi
Beginner at ASP VBscript. Hi I'm trying to update a Access database through a form using ASP VBScript. Kind of lost. I've looked at some sites and they all have complex ways of doing it. CAn anyone help with a simple little example. say a table with firstname and second name.
Any help would be great!
Hello,
Been wondering how I can update fields in my Access database table using data that lies in an excel spreadsheet.
They have a common row ie say account number and other common fields that need to be updated.

I'm a bit in over my head. Unfamiliar with Access macros, I need to write a bunch of them for work, and soon. Unixen I can deal with, largely undocumented convoluted Access macros are something else....
My current problem is: I have a table. The first column has a value in it for almost every row. However, there are six other columns after it. I need to write a macro to automatically delete all of the rows that don't have data in the last six columns. Microsoft Help is, as always, of zero use. The FindRecord feature allows me to use expressions to search, but of course, the help fails to tell me what syntax Access uses.
Oh, and it asks me to select a table from the drop-down list. Can I use wildcards here? Is there a way to get it to automatically open the newest table, or will we have to change the macro accordingly each month?
Most tutorials/guides I'm Googling rather brilliantly repeat the same things the help does, AKA, are useless. (Why do they bother writing them if you're not giving new information...?)
I'd ask about the other various access questions I have, but I can pick them up as I go, this is the most pressing question.
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.
Here's a query that the bottom listview in the attached form i.e. a listview representing a table of calls(many) to fims (1 top listview)
Code:
SELECT calls.id, calls.firm_id, calls.called, calls.said, calls.spoke_to, calls.next
FROM calls
WHERE (((calls.firm_id)=[firms].[id]))
ORDER BY calls.called DESC , calls.next DESC;
When I run the thing...I get a dialog asking me for firm id.
I want to change this so when I move up and down the firms LV (top)... the bottom LV updates taking firm id from the top LV with focus.
Access 2003.
I'm using an UPDATE query to update records in one table (tblMain) from another table (tblTemp)
Here is my SQL :
Quote:
UPDATE [tblMain]
INNER JOIN [tblTemp] ON [tblMain].[MainField1] = [tblTemp].[TempField1]
SET [tblMain].[MainField2] = [tblTemp].[TempField2];
I only want to update the records in tblMain which have a corresponding record in tblTemp (linked by MainField1 / TempField1)
If any record doesn't appear in tblTemp, I want tblMain to retain the existing value for that record.
However, it appears that in such situations, the record in tblMain has it's MainField2 value set to null / ZLS.
I've tried using LEFT JOIN and RIGHT JOIN and also tried WHERE clauses but the result is the same every time.
I have a combo box (cboManifestNumber) that is based on the following table:
tblManifestData
ManifestDataIDPK (autonumber PK)
ManifestNumber
RemovedDate
ManifestComments
TsdfIDFK (FK frm tblTSDF)
This table is related to:
tblTSDF
TsdfIDPK (autonumber PK)
I need to be able to update tblManifestData with a new manifest number and manifest comments, along with assigning it a TSDF. how to be able to enter a new manifest number and the associated data without having it create two lines in tblManifestData. I thought that I could enter a new manifest number, then requery the table and form so it shows the complete list of manifest numbers (including the recently entered one) while staying on the newest entry.
I have an Access 2007 application that has a Parts Table that contains a list of automotive parts.I have attached a screen shot (parts.jpg) showing the structure.I have another table called Web_Parts that has exactly the same structure as Parts. The Web_Parts table gets its data from a CSV import that I do that is data extracted from an MySQL database used by an eCommerce website.
You will notice that there is a field called "Web_Product_Id" (number). This is the unique ID for each of the products that I have exported from the Web shop system. I need to regularly (probably every couple of weeks), export out of the web shop system and import into the Access environment.
Due to the fact that the data in the web shop system may change (pricing, description, add new items, delete new items etc), I need to find a way that I can simply update any existing records in the Parts table with any new information contained in the Web_Parts table......
I have two tables that are formatted identically....
Table1 = MasterTable
Table2 = TempTable
I am taking a copy of one of the entry from the master table and Copying it to the temp table.I then open a form on the TempTable that enables the user to modify the content without affecting the information in the MasterTable.On Completion and Save I wish to take this modified content and update the MasterTable Using the Field "ID"
the tables for example look like this
ID NAME AGE DATE1 DATE2
I am guessing I need to use a
Code:
DoCmd.RunSQL UPDATE "MasterTable" WHERE "TempTable"
Type of command but not to sure on the correct syntax and as everything is the same the use of wildcards for all fields
I am trying to update a table with the value of a text box on the form where the table to update is as selected from a combo box on the form.I keep getting the following
Error message:
Run-time error 2465
Microsoft Access cant find the field & table_to_update & referred to in your expression..
But really can't see what I've done wrong. Have checked that the table_to_update string does contain the name of the table so guess it must be sql..
Code:
Private Sub Command91_Click()
Dim table_to_update, sql_string As String
table_to_update = Me.Combo49
Debug.Print table_to_update
sql_string = "UPDATE [" & table_to_update & "] SET [" & table_to_update & "].[Project] = """ & Text89.Value & """ WHERE [" & table_to_update & "].[ID] = " & Forms![T_entity]![" & table_to_update & "]![ID] & ""
db.Execute sql_string
End Sub
I have two tables, Table Products & Table Sold and I'm trying to aggregate the products table to reduce the total number of products and I want this update to happen with all tables that share a 1 to many relationship with the product table. (table sold is one of those).I have products apple, pear, bananna. I am now aggregating them to all just be called fruit. Problem is when I make this change in the product table I get this error:
"The changes you requested to the table were no successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primary key, or relationship. Change the data in the field or fields that contain duplicate data, remove the index, or redefine the index to permit duplicate entries and try again."how to go about aggregating data in a table that has 1 to many relationships with many other tables.

I have used a make table query to create a table with text values. I need to convert these values to numerical data, for instance "Male" should become 1 and "Female" should become 0. I tried doing this in an update query, but had to use 2 separate queries. Don't know if a macro would work to update a table (there are no forms in this DB, it's all data fields). Same with code, I usually do this with forms. How can I update the raw data, which in some cases has multiple ifs, into the correct format? Thanks!
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have two tables. One table is linked to a text file that is always update by the another program. I have another table the is same exact one but it does not get updated.

Here's my problem:
I have a table called WorkOrder. I have fields labeled:
JobID, which is an autonumber
WODate, which is formatted as =Date()
and WOID, long integer
Here's what I want to do and have done:
On my form I have WOID control source set to:
=Format([WODate],"mmddyy") & Format([JobID],"00")
I know that storing calculated values isn't the preferred method but it's what I've done.
The problem is I have a cmd button on the form, that when clicked asked for the WOID. This button is based on a query to print a specific work order.
The problems is that this calculated value (WOID) isn't appended to the table so nothing exists when the cmd button is click and the WOID is entered.
How can I update the table with this WOID for the specific job?

I have a table (A) with three variables: ProjectID, SubprofileID, and Budget. A projectID may have several subprofileIDs. I need to update this table monthly. Each month, I will get a table (B) with exact format. I want to update table A using data from Table B. I used UPDATE..... Left JOIN. But there is a probelm. For example, if project XX is not in Table B, the budget of project XX will be empty in Table A after updating whcih originally has data. Also, if Table B has a new Project YY, it is not added into Table A.
Could anyone help me with it?
Thank you very mcuh.
I want to update a column in table A with the value in table B where the value in A matches another column in B
This is what I have, which seems like it would be a valid query but Access is telling me its not an updateable query.
UPDATE PaymentBackup SET PaymentBackup.ClientID = (SELECT tblClient.ClientID FROM Payment,tblClient WHERE Payment.ClientID = tblClient.ClientIDx)
I want to add a lot of e-mail addresses to a membership database.
The database has 2 relevant tables
Home details
with fields Group ID: various Address fields: E-mail
Personal Details
with fields GroupID: FirstName: Surname: etc etc
These two are linked by the GroupID field
I have another table with fields FirstName: Surname: E-Mail
I would like to be able to design a query that checks in the Personal Details table for match with FirstName and Surname, and then updates the E-Mail field in the Home Details table.
Is this possible, and how should the query be designed?
Thanks

Newbie here.
I'm using MS Access 2007, and I have a lookup table that I use for a form dropdown. I decided I want to change the names to abbreviations. But I see this does not automatically refresh the coorisponding names in the rest of the database. It only changes the dropdown menu options in my form as I add new data. All the old data stays as full names rather than the new abbreviations.

Hi,
This is the code:
Code:Public Function FOB()Dim sku As StringDim invoice As StringDim strSQL As StringDim dbs As DatabaseDim sku_rst As DAO.RecordsetDim invoice_rst As DAO.RecordsetSet dbs = CurrentDbSet sku_rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("SKU_ TABLE", dbOpenDynaset)Set invoice_rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("INVOICE", dbOpenDynaset)strSQL = "UPDATE INVOICE RIGHT JOIN [SKU_ TABLE] ON (INVOICE.SKU = [SKU_ TABLE].SKU) AND (INVOICE.DIV = [SKU_ TABLE].DIV) SET [SKU_ TABLE].FOB = 'Fob' " & _ " WHERE ((([SKU_ TABLE].FOB) Is Null) AND ((INVOICE.ACCOUNT) Like " * 11010 * " Or (INVOICE.ACCOUNT) Like " * 11111 * "));" End Function
I receive an type mismatch error. Run time error 13.
I've checked the field types and length, correct.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
I have a form with a subform (main form is "frm_Maintenance_Request_2" and sub form is "subfrm_Job_Costs". The main form has a field called "GrandTotal" which is draws from a calculation on the sub form.) What I want to be able to do is that once the field has the calculation it updates a field called "Estimate_Cost" in the table "tbl_Maintnenance_Request". Can I do this without running an update query? I would prefer to use an Event Procedure that says something like afterUpdate:
tbl_Maintnenance_Request!Estimate_Cost = Forms!frm_Maintenance_Request_2!GrandTotal
Can you help please?
I am doing bug and enhancement development for an existing Access Application.
Periodically (after testing) I need to take my changed objects and export them to the production database.
My problems are:
1. Is there any easy way to tell which objects have been changed (is there any flag I can set at the beginning of a development cycle and then check to see which objects have been changed)
2. When exporting these objects they don't replace the existing objects in the Production Database they add a new object with the number "1" appended. If there was a form called "fCustomer Input" I end up with a new form called "fCustomer Input1"
This problem must come up with other development efforts.
Help
Thanks
I am trying to setup a webpage for people to update
access 2000 db using FP2000 and DRW. I do not want
update all fields in a record though - a couple of them
are static. I have been unable to do this. I am using
code lifted from another page and DB that does
exactly the same thing for the update. I either get the
error data type mismatch, or I should provide default
values for all form related fields, or no records get
updated.
Is there anyone who can point me inthe right direction?
Thanks,
Tim
