Can I use the append query to update a table by replacing all existing information with updated information while at the same time adding all data that isn't currently in the table?
Right now every time I run the Append Query it just adds the same information as a new row instead of replacing the existing row with the updated information.
i'm a Access novice. I have tables with existing data in numerical form, and would like to know how I can use Queries or VBA code to update these values into a new format in a new table. for example the original data might be of race type:
1 - caucasian
2 - african american
3 - hispanic 1
4 - hispanic 2
5 - hispanic 3
6 - other
and i want to regroup these into less types, eg:
1 - caucasian
2 - african american
3 - hispanic
4 - other
how can i achieve this in Access? i know how i can do this conceptually with "if" and "case" statements, but I have no idea how i can do this in Access. I don't want to mess with the original data, so please help with CODE or QUERY examples.
thanks!!
I'm building a database to calculate yearly fees for customers. I have a list coming from our accountancy-database that shows a field with the clients name & surname combined and I have a table named 'customers' that contains the clients names & surnames as separate values.
The first table (let's name it "accountancy") thus contains a field "Customer". Example data in this field:
"John McLane"
"John Doe"
"Marcy Free"
"Zino Withers"
The second table ("customers") contains the fields "ID, name, surname". Example data in this table:
1;"John";"Doe"
2;"Marcy";"Free"
3;"John";"McLane"
Now, what I'm looking for is a way to replace the 'Customer'-field in the first table by a lookup field that contains the correct ID for that customer in the 'Customers'-table.
Lucky thing: there are no doubles in the customer's table, so no two customers have the same name AND surname.
Could someone please try to give me a step by step method for using an append query to update a table. Gary gave me a ton of help before but im still a little stuck. Thanks in advance. :)

I have a table that contains a notes field. What i would like to do is to append to this field in table with some more data (notes), however i dont want to over write the existing data. I would just like to add to it.
the current notes are added through the access front end, but in this instance i have a particular note that needs to be added to various enteries without overwriting existing data. I know this is to be done via an append query, any help would be great
Thanks
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.
Wow, seems like this is my favorite place in the world now.
My problem is that I need to append data from one table to another, on the condition that any of the fields in the record have changed since the last time the query ran.
For example,
tblEmployee has the fields 'EmployeeID', 'Name', 'Position', and 'Office'. We are appending to tblEmployeeHistory with the same fields in addition to a field for a date. When executed, the query should append the records where something has changed and attach today's date to them. This enables us to later use another query to call up old information based on the date.
Once again, this is a hypothetical situation and not my actual database. Any solution or comments are welcome.
While using append Q I lose formatting information in destination table.
How do I transfer the formatted information with out losing it when using append Q?
I am new to access so VBA code is not an option for me.
See image below.
I have a database used to manage teaching assignments (which kid is assigned to which teacher so to speak). I have this relationship defined through three tables, a teacher table, a student table, both with unique ID's. The third table is used to define the assignment. Also, the kid table has an extra GroupID. The group ID is what is used to define. So in the definition table, Teacher 1 is assigned to Group 1, and so on (though their may be 20 kids in group 1). When a new teacher is added to the teacher table, I need it to add it to the corresponding field in the definition table. The groupID is in the table as an Autonumber so that will populate automatically.
I need to appendTeacherID to tblassignment (TeacherassignmentID) and have only one occurrence of the TeacherID. So, if I have teachers 1-8 listed, each assigned to a group# in the tblassignment, and I add Teacher 9, I need it to add Teacher 9's unique ID to the TeacherassignmentID field without adding 1-8 again. I can't figure out how to "check" for ID's 1-9 and add only those I've added to the teacher list that aren't already assigned to a group.
I've tried a few different SQL queries append/select queries but nothing seems to do what I need it to do....
I have one DB that is used for creating/storing customer ID's, and another DB that is used for creating/storing job information for customers.I have linked the table from the customer DB to the job DB.
There is a table in the job database that holds customer name and ID, and some VBA that generates unique job codes.
Is it possible to have the data from the linked table automatically update into the existing table?
Data.
I have one table which holds the answers to a medical questionaire. 300 questions to be exact. This table has a Primary Key which is just an autonumber.
The problem I have, is that the questionaire results will be updated from time to time. Not the whole questionaire but maybe a couple of fields. Is there a way that the user can go back to the questionaire make the changes needed and then save, but at the same time still keep the original results in the table, but assign a new autonumber? The reason is that they do not want to fill out the whole questionaire again just to make a small change, but I need to keep all the results going back in history!!!!!
Sorry if I havent explained this perfectly. I have looked at the appen query and the update query but not sure if this would be correct procedure.
Thanks in advance. You dont have to tell me exactly how to do it but a hint in the right direction would be nice.:)
I have an after update event that populates, Date, Time and User into corresponding fields when the record status changes to closed.
However... Whilst the information is recorded on the form it does not record to the underlying table is there any reason for this, or anything that I am not doing correctly?
Hi there,
I have a form with information on it relating to several linked tables. I would like this information to be duplicated in the tables and a new autonumber assigned.
Is there a way that I can do this by clicking one button and the autonumber will automatically generate a new number keeping the rest of the information in the form and updating the tables with a new record?.
Thanks for you help

We have created a program with Access and we have all our records in it. We created a field and we need to find a way to have all our existing records use default information to automatically populate that field.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've read over and over that calculated data is bad, that's fine with me... but here is my dillema...
I have four fields that interact with my calculation in a single form. There is only one table in the database.
AmountF (The stored data in the table) (amount financed)
FC (calculated by =[amountf]*.25) (finance charge)
Amount Paid (used in calculation of total due)
total due (calculated by =[amountf]+[fc]-[amount paid])
The math already works, everything works. I can choose to print the form and it looks great. However, I would like for it to (when I'm done printing the form) somehow save the total due data to the AmountF column in the table. AmountF is in the same line as all the other information, so I would like it to not create a new record just update the old one.
All four of these fields have a text box in the form for themselves.
Hi All,
I'm trying to import information from an xls file into an Access database.. I understand how to use the File --> Get External Data --> Import option in Access, however I only have the option of importing the information into Sheet1, Sheet2 etc
I already have a table named Info1 which I want to import the information into
Can anyone advise how to go about this

I am relatively new to the use of VBA and ADO to append Oracle data to a Access Table. The code below was my first attempt and it doesn't work!!
Upon your review, you can see that there are quite a few calculated fields in the table which is generally considered to be a maintenance problem. I plan to update all fields within the table that ends with "Current."
Any insight as to what the problem could be? Is there a more efficient method to append/update data within the Access db? How would the module differ if I wanted to update the fields on the table that end with "Current?"
Do I have too many calculated fields?

I am using a DB to, among other things, calculate the monthly salary of my service users. Obviously, I have to do it every moth. Most of the data from the previous month will be the same in the next month, except date. Even if some of it is different, having the previous data on sight calculate the new salaries.
Every month I have to select all records with the month date (say 07/2015) I want to copy and
(1) copy paste the records into the salaries table, and
(2) search and replace the new records' dates.
For example, records with 07/2015 with say 08/2015 (I have to replace downwards to ensure I don't change the record of the month I need to keep).
It can't be that difficult, but I have tried append and update queries to make this automatically (say by clicking a button) but so far no luck.
I have form1 that has the current commodity When i need to change the commodity I want the following to happen when they click a button: open the commodity change formthat form has a drop down to select a new commodity and a date of commodity change date fieldWhen the user submits it will move existing value to history along with the Date of change (separate table)Next it will take the value in the new commodity box and make it the current commodity
My thinking is that when i click the button to open the change form I can save the commodity at that time but I wont have the date yet. Just not sure of they best way to go about this.
I need to know the best way to append,
table1=productid,ProductName,Qty to table2=Productid,productName,Qty,date daily
I want to be able to append Records daily from table1 into table2 OnClose. But i do not want duplication of record in the same day.
If changes occurs in table1 after append,table2 should be updated using If conditions
Hi
Can someone please explain to me what I'm doing wrong.
I'm trying to update my table called Portfolio with information sent to me via spreadsheet. I've been able to import the data from Excel into a table called PortfolioUpdate and the data types are all the same, but when i try to run the append query it keeps coming up with the message below
Switchboard can't append all the records in the append query.
Switchboard set 0 field(s) to Null due to a type conversion failure, and it didn't add 1889 record(s) to the table due to key violations, 0 record(s) due to lock violations, and 0 record(s) due to validation rule violations.
I've checked that all the data types are the same and I've also removed/added primary keys from the PortfolioUpdate table to see if that was the problem but to no avail.
Am I even doing this right?
If anyone could help that could be great
Thanks
Trish
I need an append query to also update a yes/no box or a text box with "yes" "no" in the field.
I don't know how to do this in SQL. Please help.
Query 1 is the name of the query I want updated from "yes" to "no"
Something like:
AFTER APPEND (I am not sure how to do the "after append" in sql)
UPDATE Query 1
SET Query 1.DueToday = "No"
Where DueToday = "Yes"
Hello,
I am trying to develope a database that calculates and accrues vacation leave monthly.
I am trying to write a query that will add 2.5 days to each employee every month and I would like to automate this update process but I am not sure how can I get this query to know each beggining of the month and do the update. Does any body have a better understanding or suggestion of going about this issue
Your help is much appreciated
Hi,
I am working on a scheduling database and have got stuck with what I thought would be a simple update or append query (It probably is very simple for non-newbies).
I am trying to create an update query to update the "Cell_ID" field in tbl_ScheduledAssays with the "Cell_ID" field from tbl_Machines.
The tbl_ScheduledAssays stores each assay that needs to be run. The tbl_Machines stores both the "Machine_ID" on which the assays are run and which "Cell_ID" that machine belongs to.
Some assays have a "Machine_ID" assigned up front as they have to be run on a certain machine, however other assays can be run on any machine so are assigned "Machine_ID" 51 which is a blank.
For all records in the tbl_ScheduledAssays table where the machine ID is <>51 I want the Query to check the "Machine_ID" and read from the tbl_Machines which "Cell_ID" that machine is in and then add that "Cell_ID" to the "Cell_ID" in the tbl_ScheduledAssays table.
I hope this makes sense! I have tried to search the forum but everthing I have tried so far has failed. Have also tried to do an append query to no avail.
I have an expense table and I want the expenses to be written to a new table every month, quarter, half-year, or year depending on what the user has selected. I want to group the expenses somehow and I want it to show all monthly expenses, then show which ones have +1 month. All those will get put into a append query and added to a new table that stores all the expenses from hence forth.
Alright, I have started to figure it out ( a problem from earlier) but I think I need some help. I want an if statement but I am not familiar with date functions. In an append query I want to look at my original table and add records if it is past a certain date.
For a monthly expense (entry date is 01/01/2006)
If (dateentered) month, +1
Then write the record.
I have two tables: tblModels and tblParts. tblModels has primary key ModelID; tblParts has primary key PartID, and also has a ModelID field that's hooked to tblModels's ModelID with referential integrity (cascade all). I have a button on my form that duplicates the model (creating a new record in tblModels and getting a new ModelID), and when that happens, I'd like for the duplication process to run an Append Query that captures all records in tblParts that matches the FIRST ModelID (the original one), and makes new copies of them in the same table, but then sets the ModelID for each new record to the NEW ModelID (that was created with the button press).
I have done this using TempVars in my Append Query, and everything is working great, except for when all the Parts records get copied and added, they all have the OLD ModelID on them, which essentially duplicates the records in the old Model and leaves the new Model empty of associated records!The Append Query is using the ModelID field to find the records I want, so how do I then get it to write a NEW ModelID to each record after they're added to the table?
EDIT: I thought of maybe doing the old TempTable, Append Query dumps to that, Update Query changes ModelID's, Append Query dumps them back to the original table... but that seems like the long way around.
