Here's my problem. I have a table that is for maintenance jobs that recur on a fixed schedule, i.e. cleaning gutters yearly. I need to run an append query that will take all the information and cause it to recur a given number of times. I've gotten that to work with just a standard append query pulling data from a form.
The part I'm having trouble with is this. I need to get that append query to take the start date for the job and increment it properly based on my selection of daily/monthly/yearly recurrence for each individual occurance of the job.
Hope you can help, I have been looking on the forum but with no luck. I am trying to design an append query that adds any number of records to another table but need one of the fields to increment by one for each record, so for example;
I append 10 records and the other field increments from 060,061,062 etc for each record
Is it possible to copy a record 'n' number of times, incrementing the date by either days, months, weeks etc?
I have a regular payments table that will need to be edited at some point should either dates, or amounts change, but... regardless of the size of the table, it's not a problem, as these will be moved to a different table and deleted once paid.
Given the example, would it be possible to copy this record and additional 5 times, incrementing the date by one week.
how do you take a date from a textbox on a form into an Append query and increase the date entered into the textbox by 1 day.This is what I have so far but not working??
I have an database that uses a couple of different date ranges, so I created a table that shows the different date ranges that may be required (xReport Dates) so I didn't have to keep manually editing queries or entering dates every time.
I have one query that appends data from one table into another based on a date range that you need to manually enter when prompted; I can't seem to get it to refer to my xReport Dates table for the range.
hi Guys, I have been looking at different post and checking Microsoft help files as well, but still can't seem to fix this problem.
I am having 2 tables. The first table is connected to a form for viewing and entering data, and in the second table i am just copying 3-4 fields from the first table.
I am trying to use the insert statement to insert records in the second table, and everytime i click on the "Add" button to add the records i get the following error "MS access can't append all the records in the append query ... blah blah blah"
However if i close the form and reopen it, and goto the record (as it is saved in the first database) and now click on the add button to add the fields to the second table/database, it works.
I'm making a macro to output a report to an Excel spreadsheet using OutputTo and would like to add the date to the filename since this is done each day and the files need to be different. So I'd have something like "Output" as the base filename and "Output20050628" as the final filename. Would someone please help me out on this? Thanks in advance.
Can someone please help me with this? I have an Events form which has some date fields setupdate and enddate. There is a linked events calendar subform attached. I have attached the database for you to see.
If you open the events form and go to the events date tab, I want to be able to type in the dates in the setup and end date fields, and then run a query which populates the events calendar subform. I created a date table (dates) with a list of dates and tried to create an append query (Query3) with those fields as criteria which didn't work as it wasn't recognising the parameters (but i'm guessing that is because it wasn't attached to the Events Form). However after entering the dates, I was able to append them to the events calendar only after including the EventsID field to the dates table and the query. This however means that the records aren't linked to the Events table as the EventsID field is blank (the EventsID is what links the E.Calendar subform to the Events Form). Therefore though the records were reflected in the events calendar form, it wasn't showing up on the events form.
I dont know if this makes much sense but what I basically want to do is a series of functions. Create a query which extracts a set of dates based on criteria entered into the main form, and appends them to a datasheet subform which is linked to the main Events form via the EventsID, then copies the Event ID for all the recordsets that have been added.
Is this possible? Thanks for your help in advance.
I have a series of events that have a start date and an end date. How do I write an append query to append an event to a table as an individual event for every day in the given range?
This is my first stab at this and I'm obviously overlooking something. I'm trying to do a recurrent date append to an Access calendar db. I'm trying to take the field varStartDate and add 7 to it for the # of weeks recurring. Works great. I type the var out and it is appending correctly BUT when I look at the db, it is putting the ORIGINAL START_DATE and not the RecurDate var. What am I doing wrong?
TIA! Lisa
Dim strSql startDate = CDate(Request.Form("varStartDate")) IF Request.Form("numWeeksRecur") > 0 THEN Weeks = Request.Form("numWeeksRecur")-1 ' *** Subtract week from total week for first Command.Execute For recurDate = startDate To startDate+7*Weeks Step 7 fldStartDate = recurDate fldStartTime=Request.Form("varStart_Time") fldEndDate=Request.Form("varEnd_Date") fldEndTime = Request.Form("varEnd_Time") fldeventTitle=Request.Form("txtEvent") fldevt_grp = Request.Form("txtgroup") fldlocation = Request.Form("txtLocation") strSql = "INSERT INTO events (start_date, start_time, end_date, end_time,eventTitle, evt_grp) VALUES fldStartDate, " 'FOR DEBUG ONLY Response.Write(fldStartDate) & "<hr>" Response.Write(recurDate) & "<hr>" 'Response.End MM_editCmd.Execute strSQL Next END IF
I have a totals query that displays the sum of what products we ship each day. A process in the system automatically assigns the date/time to a ShippingDate field when an item is marked as despatched.
The totals query allows users to view what products are shipped between a period specified by the user.
The problem I am getting is that when the user inputs dates into fields [txtStart] and [txtEnd], the query fires up but will not display any records as a start time 00:00:00 and end time 23:59:59 was not input.
I don't want users to have to do this but cannot think of a way around it. My criteria code in the query for the shipping dates is
Code: Between [Forms]![Switchboard]![txtStart] And [Forms]![Switchboard]![txtEnd]
Can I append the start / end time onto the code above somehow or is there another method I can utilise that is probably so glaringly obvious I have missed.
Usually a query allows me manipulate a field property sheet but in this case there is nothing obvious to select like format.
I am using access 2010. I need to rename a table when I import the a new table. But I can't get the docmd rename code to work. I also want to append the current date on the end i.e.
I have a variable (dtDueDate as Date) showing as 6/28/2013. I want to append a time value to it (dtMaxTime as Date) which is 5:00 PM so dtDueDate reads 6/28/2013 05:00:00 PM. I have been going in circles trying to figure this out. My goal is to append this date to a table field which has a datetime (General Date).
I have a text box named "scheduled_start" on my "JobsF" form.
Now what I'm trying to do is use two append query's to move the start date contained within the text box.
*The first append query will be on the before update and put this date in the "notesT" in the "old_date" field. *The second append query will be on the After update and put this date in the "notesT" in the "New_date" field.
I'm trying to track date changes and this part of the process isn't working. For a start I don't know how to run the query on an event. I can open the query using 'openquery' but I don't wish to open it. Re query is also an option but the query I made isn't listed when that's selected.
Hello there, some help would be nice! Say i have a booking field. If people wanted to book a number of seats, how would i make it so that when the number of seats that was entered on the booking form was entered it would add on to the exsisting number of seats taken?
So say for film A There is 20 seats available and 4 of been booked, then someone wants to book 2 more, how do i make it so now, the number of seats taken shows up as 6 as apposed to 4?
Hi everyone, My name is Stuart and I am from the North east of England. I am a total beginner in using access. I am a bird of prey conservationist involved in numerous breeding projects for endangered species of raptors. Currently I am looking to set up a breeding programme which will involve a daily report log involving diet, weight, activities, equipment used, etc, etc.
What I want to do is create a table whereby each day I create a new form with its own unique incrementing reference number. Say I create a form today and it is recorded as 000001. Later on today I may create another form with all of the same information fields but with varying levels of information. I want that second form to be recorded as 000002. Tomorrow I may create a third which is 000003.
Is this a process that can be created in access and if so would you know how to do it? I would greatly appreciate your help if you could, please.
I have a table within which I store data showing the results of tests. I wish to create a certificate(as a report) which displays these results. The certificate should have a unique number which is then stored with the original record within the original table, called 'Sample Results' I have created an append query(CertDetailsQuery) to pull the appropriate date into another table(CertDetails), using criteria etc, however I am struggling with the creation of a field which creates the unique reference for the certificate. I have tried autonumbering inthe "CertDetails" table but this gives a unique number for each record selected by the append query, whereas I want each record selected to have the same reference (as they will be on the same certificate together). I hope this is clear, help if you can,
I am adding two records to an empty table using an append query (or make table query). I would like the first record to have 1 in the ID field and the second to have 2. I will then delete 2, append 1 elsewhere and empty the table and start over again.
Any suggestions? It needs to be 1 and 2 each time not just an autonumber.
I have a database created that is used to catalog different projects. When the user adds a new record and that project is already in the database it gives the user a message stating that that project already exists. It gives the option of cancelling and goes back so the user can name it something different. Or the user can continue and it creates a duplicate copy.
Instead of creating a duplicate copy, I want it to increment a number field named [Duplicates] by 1.
Example: If project 'A' is already in the database and the user adds it again it increments the duplicate field by one. So now the properties of project 'A' shows that there is 1 duplicate. Does that make sense?
Here's my duplicate code so far:
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim Response As Integer
If Not IsNull((DLookup("Project_Name", "Development_Projects", "[Project Name]= '" & Me.Project_Name & "'"))) Then Response = MsgBox("That Project already exists" & vbCr & vbCr & "Select Yes to duplicate record, No to cancel.", vbCritical + _ vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton2, "Duplicate Data")
If Response = vbYes Then [Duplicate] = [Duplicate + 1] Exit Sub Else Cancel = True End If End If
I created a database for my parents last summer and it has worked perfectly for a year now, then all of a sudden when they try to add an entry to the database its saying that it can't because it will create a new field.
Turns out my parents have added 45000 entries and it has just randomly reset the autonumber and is trying to add new entries at 25000, now my parents company is in a gridlock till I can figure out what the heck access did!
The autonumber is only used when I need update or delete entries.
Hi, I am reasonably new to access and i am having a little trouble with what i would expect to be a simple problem to fix.
What i am trying to do is this... I have a table set up to work with an asp web page. each record in the table has a unique ID which is set to autonumber. I also have a field which hold the URL of an image used in the asp file. The address remains the same for all of the records except that the file name it points to increments by one each time. example: the record ID is 173 and the file address is: http://www.berkeley.tv/thumbnails/thumb_173.jpg
Basically, if i could automatically take the ID number and enter it after 'thumb_' it would all work fine.
I have this bit of code in a routine. CustNum is a Numeric field with a number I need to increase by one With the code below It comes always as 1
Set Db = CurrentDb Set rs = Db.OpenRecordset("Miracle_Cloth_Main", dbOpenDynaset) On Error Resume Next rs.AddNew rs!Name = NewData rs!Cust_ID = NewData rs!CustNum = [CustNum] + 1 rs.Update rs.Move 0, rs.LastModified ' Go to new record 'Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark ' Go to new record 'rs.Close
