Updating Odd Fields In Existing Records From Excel
Dec 10, 2007
I currently have a database that is missing various pieces of information, we are getting a temp in to complete this. I don't want the temp adding data directly into Access so I have exported the table that needs updating into Excel.
How can I then import the new data without altering current data.
I know this is no problem for new records, but if I have a current record with a few fields of information missing how can I just import information into the blank fields. This can't be a manual process as there are hundreds of records.
Any comments would be much appreciated!

I am in the process of building Append Queries for new records, and I know I can do an Update Query to enter specific information. However, how can I update multiple records from a (externally sourced) linked table to fill in blanks of an existing table? I have created a query to identify records with 1 or more matching criteria which contain the blank fields. I now want to update those blank fields. The data in each blank field is different for each record (same type, just different data).

I have a table with more than 60 fields and need to update it with records from another Access file with a table with an identical data structure.
Is it better to run an update query or an append query (i would have to delete the original records in the target table first) or a union query?
If I run an update query I will have to manually add each field to the query.
The update query will not add 'new' records. If I run an append it is quicker because I can use the * to match all fields, but i will have to delete the 'old' records first, as both tables use autonumber for the PK so the PK ID will be the same in each table (will get a key violation error).
If I import the 'new' table and run a union query it will match the fields and add the new records, but then i will have to create new table from that query.

I used to import excel data into access successfully, many times but now I have to import excel data into an existing Access table with foreign key fields, which makes me problems.
Its just doesn't work...and Im sure the forien key fields are the prob cause, the other fields are going well ...

I have a database and I wish to be able to copy 10 out of about 20 fields into a new record automatically using a command button on a form. Similar to the way the Duplicate button or the Create New button would work but only with these selected fields. None of the fields I wish to duplicate are the primary key. The primary key is an AutoNumber field. After clicking the Save button, the primary key would increment one to confirm the save record.
Any help or suggestion would be appreciated!
Thanks!

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

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.

Access Database 2010 is used to capture progress on accounts. We are able to perform remedies on multiple accounts in the field and would like to update the records in Access all at once (by batch) rather than one-by-one.
I would like to export specific records from Access into Excel, make the updates to the records in Excel, then import the changes back into Access. I am looking for the updated Excel spreadsheet to overwrite the existing data in Access for that particular record.

Hello
I have a database which i am constantly updating and improving. I have a few friends who use the database in a current form. If i made an update say to a form or to some of the coding to make the DB more efficent, how can i update the dBs my friends are using without damaging or changing the existing data, or migrating it to the new design.
I.e going from version 1 to version 1.1
Any advise would be great?

I have searched the forum but have failed to find the answer to my problem. I have a front end ms access 2000 solution that I distribute to user PC's with an MDE back end data base on a server.
I now need to release a new version that includes changes to forms, queries and tables.
However there is data in the original mde data base I need to retain. Is there an easy method to migrate that data to the new data base. I have changed some relationships but this should not affect data integrity - most change is related to adding new fieldsto existing tables or new tables (no previous data).
If I create a new empty mde will I be able to import old data into it from previous mde?:confused:

I'm having difficulty updating an existing record in my form. I can enter a docket number on my form and when i hit my button (Find Docket) it brings up all the customers info (name, date, invoice, vat, total, etc.) What i want to do then is be able to amend/update the record. Just wondering do i need to put vba code in my save button and how to code it and is it similar to my find data code below.
Here is my save function code:
Function SaveData() As Boolean
Dim db As Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("Skips Delivered")
[Code] .....

I have a linked table to a DB2 database. this table contains key-pair values and has about 140k records.
I use a Sub to update the value of a specific record.
The sub starts by opening the needed DAO recordset
Then it uses the rs.Findfirst method
It checks if rs.Nomatch is not true (so the records exists!)
Then it starts updating the record with
rs.edit
rs!value1 = myvalue1,
rs!value2 = myvalue 2
rs.Update
There is where I get the '3021 No current record' error
I use the same sub on the same table to update to different parts. One part works the other gives me the error.
I have checked for typos.

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 have the following statement which exports data based on a query to a .xls:
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "qryreportsbydate", "C:Documents and SettingspdaintyDesktopRawQualityData_Weekly.xls"
This works fine it exports the data and names the sheet rawqualitydata.
The problem i'm having is when i come to run the export again Excel tells me the file already exists. What I want it to do is overwrite the data in the rawqualitydata sheet in the same file.
Is this possible?

I guess you've all heard this one before, but I'm relatively new to Access, and was wondering if there was a way to export data from a form to an already existing Excel spreadsheet via a form button. Is this even possible in MS Office 2007, or even at all?

I have made a access database which captures new booking information and i then want to export this to a pre-existing excel doc which has formulas in which will work out how long it took my team to process it.
So my question really is to see if it possible to just keep adding data to an excel doc that i have created?

I am trying to import from Excel and append to an existing table. My excel sheet is named tblStatus and I am trying to append it to my Access table "tblStatus".
I get an error message that says "The first row contains some data that can't be used for valid Access Field Names. In these cases, the wizard will automatically assign valid field names." (I used the excel sheet to set up my table.) After I click OK, I get to the point where I can click finish, and I get a "Subscript out of range" error.
MY row headers are:
strOrderOps
strOrderNo
strOperation
strOrderType
dtmBasicStartDate
dtmActualFinishDate
dtmCalFinishDate
strStatus
I am not sure what is going on.

Ive tried making command buttons for each of the three tables that when you click on it, it automatically updates the tables, but it doesnt seem to be updating them. Is this the right code for that to happen?
Private Sub Command0_Click()
Dim strFile As String
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
' Set file directory for files to be imported
strPath = "C:SharesPublicStaff Public FilesBrandon PenlandUS Food Product Prices Newest"
' Tell it to import all Excel files from the file directory
strFile = Dir(strPath & "*.xls*")

I have a mainform with 4 fields which are marked with 4 primary keys: soldtoId, shiptoID, PlantId and formulaID. PlantID is a long integer number field and the other 3 are text fields. there is no default values.
I have a subform1 that is linked by PlantID and FormulaID. These 2 field names are in the linked child fields.
I had a handful of records established already. Today, i added a command in the after update section of the PlantID field in mainform by adding Me.Refresh.
So when i change the plantID in the mainform, the subform gathers different plantID and formulaID data automatically. works nicely.
Here is the rub. I next tried adding NEW records to the mainform. that's the one with 4 primary fields.
i enter soldtoID and shiptoID fine. they have no refresh need. however, after the enter a PlantID, the me.refresh kicks in before i can get the the formulaID field. i get a debug error. something about a NULL. which i suspect is the formulaID that i didn't get a chance to enter to. FYI, later, i want to put a refresh on formulaID too.
so how can i make some kind of Refresh work for both New and existing records??

I am not sure that I am in the Correct Section for this question but I am sure I can be forgiven for that :
I am attempting to build a db for a friend who has all his data in one table. During normalisation I have seperated the various threads of data into various tables of usable information. My problem is that I need to seperate his clients fullname into First & Surname i.e. Fullname: Mick Burke to FirstName: Mick and Surname: Burke - in other words make two fields from one.
Any help in doing this would be well appreciated.

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.

Hi Everyone
I have done a blunder on my database:
When I built it I gave the MaterialsInventory# a field size of 3 characters, which I soon got to learn (stupid me for not thinking it through) has to be a lot bigger. I have now extended it to 5 characters which should be more than enough. Now, when my list comes up its not organized properly, 123 would com after 12299 for instance and so on.
my question is; how can I make a function/code/something-smart to extend the 123 type values to 00123? This table is linked as well so I guess I'd have to delete the links and do the same for every linked table? I got about 5000+ entries so don't feel like doing this manually:P
Any help would be highly appreciated!
Cheers

I have a table linked to SQL Server 2014. As SQL Server 2014 does not support calculated fields I created a query to use formulas. Now I want to write formulas on the existing fields ( TotalMarks ) of table Not to create new fields.
