Hi,
How can I get a field to update automatically after data has been imported into the record.
Manually it works using the DLOOKUP in the "After Update" properties but this does not work when importing data.
TIA

Hello Tech gurus,
I have a database with existing data, that is not normalized, :eek: and all the data is in one field... This what I am dealing with:
As you notice the first row of data in field1 C10A CHOLEST&TRIGLY has 3 spaces to the right the next row ALTORVASTIN has five spaces to the right, the next line LIPITOR has 7 spaces to the right, and so forth, hopefully you get at what I am trying to do, I just looked at the data and it is not showing up in view of the leading spaces, but I am trying to move the data based ONLY on the position of leading spaces, example all data that has 3 leading spaces would go into its own separate column, and all data that has 7 leading spaces would go into a separate column, I have tried to use the left, mid, len functions but I cannot figure out how to move the text and keep it whole only by data position of spaces.
Field1:
C10A CHOLEST&TRIGLY
ATORVASTATIN
LIPITOR
PFIZER
SIMVASTATIN
SIMVASTATIN TEVA
TEVA
M1A ANTIRHEUMATIC N-STEROID
ETODOLAC
ETOPAN

Thanks so much for your help... :confused:

WorkID is a look-up field, so its Data Type is Number.
In the same table, DailyGrind is a field with the Data Type of text.
I would like to update WorkID with the jobs in DailyGrind.
Surely there must be a way to do it, gurus?
Hello
I have a table with 3 fields:
- ID no (primany key), Time1 and Time2
I have 3 records with ID no 1 to 3.
So my table look like this
ID no: Time1: Time2:
1 [emty] [emty]
2 [emty] [emty]
3 [emty] [emty]
I have an Excel document with the data for field Time1 and another Excel dokument with the data for field Time2. Excel doc1 have 2 colums named ID no and Time1. And Excel doc2 have 2 colums named ID no and Time2.
How do I import/update these data into my table?
I have tried wiht a adding-quiry but it only works if the table is complety emty and only with one Excel doc. Trying the second Excel doc afterwards only makes an error and no fields are updated.:confused:
I inherited a defective Access 2010 and am now attempting to import a RECORD consisting of fields of xls data.
I am attempting to import from an existing Form Datasheet so that it overwrites (or appends the new data to the datasheet) from another identical Form Datasheet because it contains an additional 1000 contacts in it.
I have resulted to Using an .mdb file from over a year ago because the current .mdb keeps hitting "The Microsoft Access database engine could not find the object (Error 3011)"
My initial opinion is that the more recent .mdb it is corrupt.
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if this is possible to do:
I have a Form that reads from one Linked Table and Updates a Local Table. Is it possible to move the Local Table to the Back End and still be able to append fields and change field names etc?
If anyone can help, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

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.
thanks
I'm running an update query that's based on a select query (that runs some calculations). The update query is updating ALL the rows that should be updated with the information in the select query with data from the final row in the select query, and not on a per ID basis as I think I have it set-up to do. The data looks correct in the update query, but again it's not coming out right.
Here's the SQL for what I've written so far:
UPDATE [Customer_Data Query], Customer_Data INNER JOIN Baseline ON Customer_Data.ID = Baseline.ID SET Baseline.[Unit Hours] = [Customer_Data]![Dur_Days]*[Customer_Data]![Dur_Hours]*[Customer_Data]![Number_Units], Baseline.Availability = [Customer_Data]![Perceived_Avail], Baseline.[Hours Available] = [Customer_Data]![Dur_Days]*[Customer_Data]![Dur_Hours]*[Customer_Data]![Number_Units]*[Customer_Data]![Perceived_Avail],
[Code] ....
I've also tried to force the update to the proper row by adding a criteria based on ID.
Select query, here it is:
SELECT Customer_Data.ID, Customer_Data.Data_Set_Version, Customer_Data.Number_Units, Customer_Data.Perceived_Avail, Customer_Data.MTTR_MTBF, Customer_Data.MT_TR_OR_BF_Hours, Customer_Data.Utilization, Customer_Data.Percent_Scheduled, Customer_Data.Sched_Percent_of_PM, Customer_Data.Sched_PM_Duration, Customer_Data.Sched_CBM_Duration, Customer_Data.Sched_CBM_From_PM, Customer_Data.React_Detect, Customer_Data.React_Rework, Customer_Data.React_False_Alarms,
[Code] ....
Hello all, I have a question;
I have 2 databases with 4 tables in it following the same structure.
Table 1: tblPersons consisting employeenumber as pk
Table 2: tblLocation consisting the location as pk
Table 3: tblCompanyvehicle consisting the licenseplate as pk
Table 4: tblAssets consisting serialnumber as pk
All tables have relationships build on the employeenumber which is a pulldown in the three last tables.
I have a thirdth empty exact same database and want to import the tables from the 2 other databases by clicking a button, browse to the database and click import.
The import should IGNORE duplicates without a message (if New York already excists there is no reason to insert it again, the same goes for employeenumbers, since they are unique, etc, etc).
Is there any way to do this?
Thanks in advance
(I did a search on this, but nothing came up that described the problem)
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.

Hi
I have imported 8000 records into a table called competency.
the table does not have the emp id, but needs it. I have a table called employee information which has the emp id as the primary key. I want to create a simple update query to copy the emp id (autonumbered primary key) field from the Employees table to the (now blank) emp id field in the competency table.
I created a query in design view, added the two tables
included the fields from Competency, Emp ID, Last Name, First Name and in the update field for Emp id I added this
"copy[tbEmployeeInformation].[empid]" In the criteria field of last name I typed a name and ran the query, it gave me the correct amount of records to update, but when I ran it, it gives the type conversion failure error. I checked the fields and they are the same in both tables (type, length, indexing)
What am I doing wrong?

Hey Everyone,
I am stuck trying to figure out this problem. I have a main form "frm_tirelog_600" which has 4 combo boxes "cboleg",
"cbocar", "cbopos", "cboserial" on it. The first 3 combo boxes are used as criteria on 1 of 3 subforms that I have.
The fourth combo box "cboserial" is used for the criteria in a query on another subform that I have called "frm_mount_600_subform",
which is independant from the main form, I hope I have explained that clearly enough. What I need to be able to do is
have the subform fill in 3 of the fields on it "leg", "car", "pos" with the value from the 3 combo boxes on my main form. I
can get it to show in the fields but not write to the table. I have searched the forum and have not been able to locate anything
that would work and really need any assistance with this. Im not real strong in the coding department which is where I
beleive this could be done.
I have attached a copy of my DB which I hope will better explain it. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Hey,
The database I am working on, I split a while ago to give it some security. Now i'm updating a related form, and i'm finding that if I delete and add fields in the BE, the FE fields (being the fields that I need to insert into the form so the data entered propogates to the DB) are not updated.
How do I update the FE?
Thanks.
How would I go about importing 850 fields into access (Multiple tables) with its 250 field maximum?

Does anybody know how to go about running a query or macro in Access to import specific fields from all worksheets contained in an excel workbook?
Say I have ExcelFile.xls, and it has worksheets with varying names. I want to pull fields B12, B16, B20, B24, B28 from each worksheet and create a new record in a table (one new record for each worksheet). Is there an easy way to do this other than pulling the data into a Crystal Reports pivot table or some such?
I have a table that contains about 75 fields. Each field is going to be a Lookup field that will allow the user to enter multiple values. This is for a home inspection service. So the first field name will be ExteriorShingles. The user clicks the dropdown arrow, and is allowed to select multiple values such as "loose", "missing", "rotted" etc... I was wondering if there is an easy way to import all these values from my Excel spreadsheet, or do I have to enter each one individually, which is going to be a lot of work.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to import XML into access however have noticed that Access 2013 is not importing fields/parameters found within tags. For example:
<locations>
<locationelement description="Master Location" dns="tester.test.com" key="M0" lastupdated="Never Updated" pdport="5555" port="5551">
<monitoringperiodtimezone>EST5EDT</monitoringperiodtimezone>
<monitoringperiod days="Sunday" hours="28-95" />
<monitoringperiod days="Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday,Saturday" hours="all" />
</locationelement>
</locations>
When importing, Access creates a table location element with fields for monitoring period timezone (containing EST5EDT) and monitoring period (containing nothing). I was wondering if there is a way to access fields such as description, dns, key etc or days, hours, ie fields that are within a tag.

I've created an ubounded form and all of my fields are not populating. 7 out of 13 fields show data but not all of the data. When I look at the table all information is documented but able to view on form. I've gone over other DB's for review and can't seem to figure out why it's not populating. Also I can't delete any of the records.
I've attached the db for some1 to help me...
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 query that (easily) determines how many hours an employee has worked on any given day. What I can't figure out at all, is how to write a query that can figure out how much time an employee had off in between shifts.
Thus far I'm able to run a query that separates this main table into individual workers by their id numbers, but can't figure out how to determine time off between shifts - as the last hour worked one day, and the first hour worked the next day are on two different lines (they are two different table entries).

Hey ya'll,
I'm trying to figure out how to subtract a value entered on a form from one table, from a column in a different table. I was trying to us an AfterUpdate on a texbox to run some VB that would run a SELECT statement to get the current value (InStock), subtract the value in the textbox, and run an UPDATE statement to update InStock. But all I got were a lot of errors saying that I was using mismatched objects and nothing was getting update. Please help.
Thanks,
Chris
