I have a database which every week I have to import an excel spreadsheet. Now this spread sheet will always have rows that repeat and will have somewhere between 700-1500 rows.
What is my best option to delete the rows that repeat? Meaning if a rows 1-10 have the same data then delete 9 of them. It will vary but I only need the unique record and the others can be deleted.
Would this be best way using a query? VB or something else?
There are 6 columns that will always be in the spreadsheet with the same column names:
There will be rows that will repeat on every spreadsheet everytime. The only column that will not repeat will be CONTACT_COMMENTS. This column is needs to be deleted everytime.
I guess I didnt know if when I import the spreadsheet if something was possible that would:
Delete the CONTACT_COMMENTS then delete the duplicate rows upon importing or even after since this will have to be done everytime.
After being a member on this site for a while now I would like to get some opinions on "cost of application development" I know the forum covers a wide geographic area and the members cover a wide spectrum of degrees of expertise on Access and application development. So the question is this..What would your rates be and how would you determine your charges for developing Access applications for a business?PS... Please include your location if not in your profile.
I am trying to do a partial duplication query. this is the code from the SQL view in accessSELECT filtered1.Company_NameFROM filtered1WHERE (((filtered1.Company_Name) In (SELECT [Company_Name] FROM [filtered1] As Tmp GROUP BY [Company_Name], Left([Company_Name],7) HAVING Count(*)>1 And Left([Company_Name],7) = Left([filtered1].[Company_Name],7))))ORDER BY filtered1.Company_Name;the table filtered1 has 1300 records, under the field Company_Name.the 7's apparently should get it to compare the first 7 letters, and if the same show me them. A whats going wrong, its not showing me any, asthough there are none, (which i know there are) and B. How would i get it to compare the first 7 letters across tables, with fields of the same name?thanksalex
"Microsoft JScript runtime error 'null' is null or not an object line = 126, col = 7 (line is offset from the start of the script block). Error returned from property or method call." what does that mean?
Dont understand what is controlling these decimals. I dont need any decimals for this database. The currency is talking bout money in 1000's and the probability is whole numbers.

I need to be able to query/search the database for people that were scared "before", "during", "after", "before and during", "before and after", "during and after". Then I can categorize these people. What would be the best way to do it? Should I have 3 "yes/no" fields in my table, or one text field with those 3 as the lookup field? What one would make organizing the people easier? :D Thanks!
SELECT Fields FROM table1 RIGHT JOIN table2 ON table1.Pubid = table2.PubID WHERE (table1.PubType=[Forms]![frmCirculationByTitle]![comMemberType] Or [Forms]![frmCirculationByTitle]![comMemberType] Is null) AND (table2.lAuditPeriod=[Forms]![frmCirculationByTitle]![comStartPeriod] Or [Forms]![frmCirculationByTitle]![comStartPeriod] IS null) And (table2.lAuditPeriod=[Forms]![frmCirculationByTitle]![comEndPeriod] Or [Forms]![frmCirculationByTitle]![comEndPeriod] is null) AND (table2.Unfinancial=[Forms]![frmCirculationByTitle]![chkCurrent] Or [Forms]![frmCirculationByTitle]![chkCurrent] IS null);
even if i only have one parameter (a member type, which should bring back at least 20 for each type of member) it returns nothing. if i do the same sql statement in a query and hard codee the value in i get data. it seems to be ignoring whatever is on the form.

My database is due tommorrow and my switchboard has gone crazy on me, it doesnt work anymore. When you scrolll your mouse it then goes through the links thats the only way to get to the section you want.
So question is this, whats the advantage of using it?
Cant I just set some hyperlinks to the items I want and it would be the same. Wondering cause dont know if I should spend time trying to fix it or just make hyperlinks...and its due tommorrow.
