I am OK creating a SQL query to update a table in a second database from a look-up table in the second database, and I can create a query to update a table in the current database from a look-up table in the current database - simple.
However, I am trying to create an Update Query to update a table in a second database from a look-up table in the current database.
(and I want to avoid copying the look-up table to the second database.)
I'm having difficulties creating a sql statement which updates data in another Access database from a current database.
I'm able to do an insert and delete statement just perfectly, but not an Update. :confused:
For example, here is a dummy sample (which does not work):
Update tbl_test1 IN '\C:Tempabc.mdb', tbl_test2 set tbl_test1.Name = tbl_test2.Name Where tbl_test1.ID = tbl_test2.ID
I tried a couple of variations, however, I keep getting an error. Also, I don't want to create a database link (due to the sheer complexity of my project, which I'll spare you the details..)
Does anyone know how to do this? I searched the forums and came up with zilch! =(.. Help??!
I am using and UPDATE Sql statement to update a firld in a form to a table. However, I get the message updating 140 records etc. How can I get the SQL/Macro to simply update teh record I am currently working on?
i'm getting this message when i try and change a record in a table via a recordset... but i am using CursorType = adLockOptimistic which i thought let you make changes to the table
here is my code so far
Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset rst.CursorLocation = adUseServer rst.CursorType = adLockOptimistic rst.Open "TBL_TmpSubmission", CurrentProject.Connection
If rst.RecordCount > 0 Then Do While Not rst.EOF MsgBox rst!PropertyType, vbOKOnly, "debug" If DCount("[PropertyType]", "[TBL_PropertyType]", "PropertyType = '" & rst!PropertyType & "'") <> 1 Then rst!PropertyType = DLookup("[PropertyType]", "[TBL_PropertyType]", "IDPropertyType = " & rst!PropertyType) MsgBox "property changed", vbOKOnly, "debug" Else MsgBox "good property", vbOKOnly, "debug" End If rst.MoveNext Loop End If
rst.Close
am i using the wrong combination or cursor and lock type here? reading the help it seems i should be able to make changes to the table.
Hi I have a forrm (Orders) , with a subform (Order Details)
Depending on a selection of a list field it makes certain field visible in the subform.
If I go the next record and select the list field it updates fields in the subform ( Visible ( True or False )
But if I go back to the previousl record it doesnt update the fields that are relavent to the option picked in the List Filed ( Which I have set to after update ). It works fine if I re-select the option in the list field
How do I set it to update the subform field automatically as I scroll through records?
I tried OnCurrent property but I dont think this is the correct one.
Combo box on continuous form should have the control source listed as the field on the form that will be updated. The Row Source, however, is a query that includes 2 things: the field on the form that will be updated (this part will be nonvisible in your form) and the table/query of selections you want to show up in the combo box (visible). Then ensure the Bound column is set to 1 and the Column count is set to 2 with Column Widths as 0";1"
I am creating a database that tracks current projects for my team at work.
Some projects are only due once (e.g., mailed brochures due on 1/1/14) and some are due at scheduled intervals (e.g., status report due monthly, quarterly, etc.)
Ultimately, I'm hoping that my end result will allow us to click on a form and look at what everybody has due that day, in the next 7 days, and so forth.
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.
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!
I 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. I have access run these two tables to see the difference between. (Its basically and add/drop function) But after I run those two tables to see the difference, I want to update the nonlink file, so it is up to date with the "link" table. Thank you.

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.
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?
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.
