Using A Form To Move Records From One Table To Another.
Jun 27, 2005
Hello. I have a question that seems simple but I can't get it to work. Any help would be appresiated.
I need a form that will pull the oldest record from one table, allow the user to add a few fields to the record, then paste the record to a different table. when it is done the original record has to be removed from the original table.
I have tried using a append Query, but it moves all of the records at once and doesn't allow data entry on each record. I'm not sure if this would be done by a Query, Form or Macro. I have laid out the nessacary data flow below incase there is an easier way to do this.
Persons A,B, and C enters data into table 1.
later person D pulls the oldest record from table 1, reads the data then adds fields to the record and records it to table 2. The information is then removed from table 1. Person D then goes onto the next record from table 1. When person D is done, there will be no data left in table 1.
Any Ideas? or can someone point me in the right direction for help?
I have an order system whereby there is a "basket" table and an order detail table.
I want to use an append query to move all the records from the basket table to the order detail table.
However, I also need to mark each record that gets appended to the order detail table with an "Order Id" that has already been saved in an Order table.
I.e. I save the main details of an order into the order table then copy records from the basket table into the order detail table along with an order ID that comes from a form.
i have a form, where a user inputs a account number inputting the account number, then populates all the relevant table fields, into the form for the user to edit.however if there is more than one account, with that account number, how do i get it so they can cycle through on the form?
Is there a way in which someone can select a table from a drop down list and then search that table for a record then move that record to another table.
For example.
User selects 'Mikey's_table' searchs for a record then move this selected record to 'Mandy's_table'
(all the tables have the same structure etc. identical apart from the name of the table and records within)
I have the list of tables that all the records will be on and the users will know which table the record is in, i basically need to know if there is an ability to search for a record over multiple tables then edit that record and move it to another Table.
I have tried to use a Union Query which works when searching but i cannot edit or move the record ...
I'm trying to make a form with a single text box that will search for the contents of the text box in a table. Once it finds a match, it moves the record into another table. Anyone know how to do this?
Tried to find things but being a mix of a couple of different actions havn't been able to actually find it
So basically I found a awesome form somewhere that builds the SQL query based on all the users selections.
When you hit the create button it will save the query and update the sub data sheet below with your query results.
From here the part I'm lost on is getting the TOP x number of records and moving them to a new table, I wanted it to work on the 2 drop down boxes that are on the form. select your values and hit the button.
I'd imagine it would be a sub query that I'd use for the top x like I have in the past but I just can't seem to get it to work
Quick steps
1. create your query 2. check your data in the sub datasheet 3. decide the number of records to move to the new table 4. select the name 5. hit the button
This would copy the ban, xcv & dfs fields from the importeddata table to the moverecordshere table & also update persname in the moverecordshere table with the name selected in the form.
i have an MS Access db containing a few tables of 'calls recorded' and 'finished calls'.
(i want to move all 'Finished calls' to a seperate 'Finished Calls' table)
anyway, the thing i want to do is to move records from Table1 to Table2, i am able to do this using the following code...
SELECT * INTO Table2 FROM Table1 WHERE Finished='Yes';
this code does work, however it does not delete the records that were moved out of Table1 - they are still there, its more or less copying and pasting them..
Here's a tough one that has been driving me crazy! (Probably easy, but I don't want to admit it!)
I have a form with a listbox called "lst_exclist". The recordsource for this listbox is the following query:
SELECT tbl_collexcludereasons.priority, tbl_collexcludereasons.excname, IIf(tbl_collexcludereasons.enabled=-1,'Enabled','Disabled') AS enabled, tbl_collexcludereasons.priority FROM tbl_collexcludereasons ORDER BY IIf(tbl_collexcludereasons.enabled=-1,'Enabled','Disabled') DESC , tbl_collexcludereasons.priority;
Which basically gives me this with dummy data: 2 PIPELINE ENABLED 3 HELLO ENABLED 5 GOODBYE ENABLED 1 BAD DISABLED 4 GOOD DISABLED 6 LAST DISABLED
I had two command buttons, one up arrow and one down arrow. The up arrow is supposed to move the selected record on the listbox up by exchanging the next lesser priority number with itself. The down arrow does the same. The DISABLED records are supposed to be ignored on the move up and move down procedures, meaning only ENABLED records are allowed to exchange priority numbers, and thus move up or down on the list. I tried the following code:
Me!lst_exclisthidden = Me!lst_exclist
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
Dim startingnumber As Integer Dim endingnumber As Integer Dim nametochange As String Dim getchangerst As DAO.Recordset
If IsNull(Me!lst_exclist.Column(0)) = True Then MsgBox "Please choose an entry on the above list to move.", vbCritical, "Error" Exit Sub Else End If
If Me!lst_exclist.Column(2) = "Disabled" Then MsgBox "There is no need to move a disabled selection, please enable the selection to change it's priority.", vbCritical, "Error" Exit Sub Else End If
If Me!lst_exclisthidden = acLast Then MsgBox "You cannot move the bottom selection on the list down, please choose another one.", vbCritical, "Error" Exit Sub Else End If
But it seems to loop when it gets the the area it is checking for numbers because the highest records is disabled, so it's ignored. How can I make this work? Please help!
I have an Equipment Form with a Supplier subform. The Supplier subform also has a subform, Equipment Pricing Records.
I have the ability to change the Supplier via a combo box, but Equipment Pricing Records become orphaned.
What I would like to do is when a Supplier is about to be changed, for the user to have the option to either a) delete the sub records, or b) the sub records to move across to the new Supplier.
I know I will need to use the after update event once the delete or move decision is made, but I can�t think how to identify the records and then either delete or move them to the new Supplier ID.
The EquipmentID will never change.
Fields are;
EQUIPMENT form; EquipmentID
SUPPLIER form; SupplierID EquipmentIDFK
PRICING RECORD form; PricingRecordID SupplierIDFK EquipmentIDFK
I'm having trouble with one of my reports. attached is a screencap of my report. The second name which is highlighted i need to either nudge it to the right so it is not directly under the first name OR remove it completely but keep the times and a gap for the next record.
I am creating is a sign in database where staff sign in/out for each day of a week. the issue is when the staff member signs in/out in the morning and then does the same when they get back from lunch it is difficult to read. This report is only printed once a week and will not show after a time frame of 5 days.
So, i still need that name to show up for the next day.
I'm using a form with next record and previous record buttons that works fine but as the size of the database has grown it's clear I need a faster way to move through records.
My solution was to have an advance 10 records at a time button but I'm having problems when reaching the far sides of the records.
For example: If I'm on record 9 and I press go back 10 button then access tries to go to record 0 (which doesn't exist) and brings up and error. The same happens if I try to advance more than total number of records.
I found a solution to this which was to disable the button when the recordcount was less than 10. This works except now if I'm on say record 14 and want to go back to 4, i press the button, i goes back to record 10, the button is disabled so it can't go back further and i get an error.
When the value "X - DISCONNECTED" is selected in the form I want the record to be removed from its existing table and sent to a new table which keeps all the "X - DISCONNECTED" records together.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. How would this be coded?
I've got a form with numerous controls and labels. When i first open the form, all looks fine - all labels are Black Arial 8 Bold. But when i start scrolling through the records, the text on three of my text labels gets bolder. I haven't a clue what is causing this - the labels are just standard - two are associated with controls and one is all on its own.
I have no code written to do this, and in fact i'm not sure you could write code to do this. I've tried renaming the labels, changing the font, deleting and recreating them, but it's always the same three that get darker.
Well I have two tables, one is the workorder register and the other is the closed work orders. This is for maintenance. I have a form for creating and veiwing workorders. I need to link a command button to the form that will delete the record being viewed in the WO REG table and paste it in the Closed WO table. I think I need to use two append queries but have no idea what I am doing. Here is what I have so far.
INSERT INTO [CLOSED WO] ( WO, MMCN, TECH, NOMIN, FUALTS, TYPE, [SECTION], CLOSEDATE, OPENDATE ) SELECT [WO REG].[WO], [WO REG].[MMCN], [WO REG].[TECH], [WO REG].[NOMIN], [WO REG].[FUALTS], [WO REG].[TYPE], [WO REG].[SECTION], [WO REG].[CLOSEDATE], [WO REG].[OPENDATE] FROM [CLOSED WO], [EQUIP REG] INNER JOIN [WO REG] ON [EQUIP REG].[MMCN]=[WO REG].[MMCN] WHERE ((([WO REG].[WO])=[WHAT WO TO CLOSE?]));
Like I said I have no idea what I am doing, this is out of the SQL view for my "move to closed WO" query. the fields I need to move are WO, MMCN, TECH, NOMIN, FUALTS, TYPE, SECTION, CLOSEDATE, and OPENDATE.
Is this even remotly right? I know nothing of VBA an all these symbols mean nothing to me.
ok ive read some responses to people having trouble or need to know how to move a record from one table to another... i have two tables. One with member and another with thier siblings. i have two forms. one with the member details which contain a command box to open the other form for their siblings. the siblings form is a tabular form so when i double clikc the siblings form i can all the children but when i open it from a specific member only their children are shown. each member has a memberID (primary key). but the siblings have the same ID as their father(member)
i have put a commmand box in the siblings form next to every sibling. what i want is that when i click this button the record moves to the members column.
i only know the very basics of VB...so a step by step explination would be helpful...
this is very specific and if more information is required please ask here or ask for my msn address.
Say i have two tables 1 = computers (it holds info about the computers) 2 = Repair (this table holds only the PCs that are under repair)
I want to be able to move one computer record to Repairs table as soon as i select that "this pc is under repair" on a form. So it does not show up on my report of computers in hand and shows up on computers in repair.
and when i get the pc back from repair, i want to be able to select "back in stock" and it'll move the record back to Computers tables & removes tht record from repairs table
is there a way i can do this automatically (without manually move a record)?
Any suggestions - web links or examples will be much appreciated.
I've got a database that pulls from a table. One of the options on the table is pending or complete. Right now, there are over 1000 records because they are all stored in the same record. I'd like to move the completed items to a different table.
Can this be done? If so, what steps do I need to take to do this?
My database is a simple membership database that adds members and by clicking of a button it tells me the memebers birthdays for the month and if i chose to select the send card option then it remembers who has been send the card.
All i want now is a query that will take a member who's memebrship has been expired (since membership is year long only) and move them to another table by looking at the membership dates (like 2004 and 2003).
And may be later on if those members wants to join the membership i can then add them again from that table back to the main table.
Ok here is what I've got. I have a table called (EQUIP REG) It contains all the information to the equipment in the hospitol. next i have a table called (WO REG) It contains all the information for the workorders for the equipment.
In the EQUIP REG table I have field titled (PM) this is the date that the equipment is due for PM's. Now I could just run a query for all the equipment on a given date called "MONTHLYPM" and then "open" the workorders by hand....but would be an all day job becuase there are nearly a thousand PM's a month. What i need is a wuery to run off of the above mention query that will copy the some data from the EQUIP REG table to the WO REG table. I only need the fields called "MMCN" "SERIAL" "MODEL" and "LOCATION"
I know very little about access and even less about VBA, so who ever is brave enough to help me must be able to talk on a very low level. thanks for any help in advance. :)
I am working on a calibration database which keeps track of measurement equipment and their scheduled calibration date. There are several gages that become "In-Active" because they are old, lost, or whatever. I have two tables that have Active and In-Active gage listings containing all of the pertinent information regarding that gage. I would like to put a button in the Active gage form which in the event the gage becomes "In-Active", pressing the button moves all of the information in the "Active" page to a new page in the "In-Active" table. So essentially one can look at Active gages and In-Active gages depending on the switchboard button that is clicked.
I know that is probably a crazy question but any thoughts or insight would be greatly appreciated.
Hello. My question is how do I go about moving data from one field to another within a table? I want to move the data in ReportDateClo to ReportDatCom when both ReportDateClo and SupAct are true by record which are identified by the field LogNum. It is probably very simple but I am having a brain cramp.
ReportDateClo and ReportDatCom are "short date" date fields. SupAct is a Yes/No field. LogNum is an autonumber.
I'm trying to move a couple tables into the Front End of an Access 2010 database because the drop downs take awhile to load. We have horrible servers at work.
I can get some of them to convert to local table but naturally the ones I really need won't. The only table I want to remain in my backend is "project log data final". I don't even get an error message it just doesn't do it. Why would it not let me convert some to a local table. Does it have anything to do with relationships?
My boss has assigned a task for me to move the details under a field name (eg:[Name]) in table 1 to table2 under another field name (eg [Insured Name]).
Previously, the software I planned to use is Excel, but my boss says Excel cannot handle large data as the computer will be hanging.So,he wants me to use Access to do the programming.I have some programming backgrounds (like C++) but it seems like I hardly understand how Access works! So can any Access expert here teach me how to do so that i won't get fired.
Firstly, We will have the data like this.
Table1
Code: Name | PolicyNo | Age | Benefit --------+----------------+----------+----------- Chris | 123 | 21 | Death Jane | 456 | 34 | TPD Adam | 789 | 55 | DD
Secondly, we let the other staffs to key in which column to be mapped with the other. Manually Key in (both columns).Mapping Table:
Code: Table1 | Table2 --------------+------------------- Name | InsuredName Policy No | Pol_No Benefit | InsuredBenefit Age | InsuredAge
Thirdly, the staff will run the VBA and result would be like this.
Table2
Code: InsureName | Pol_No | InsuredBenefit | InsuredAge --------------+--------------+----------------------+---------------- Chris | 123 | Death | 21 Jane | 456 | TPD | 34 Adam | 789 | DD | 55
As you can see the new table(table2) , field number 3 is the same with the field number 4 in table1. There is something like copy and paste job, but user can decide how the arrangement for the new table is.
I have a form with a combox control that is bound to a table. It is a status field. When the status changes, I would like to take the OldValue of both the status combobox and the status date and move them to a table that when accessed will show a history of the prior status and corresponding dates.
