I have a fairly simple append query that appends two columns of data to another table - all good. Except, the destination table has a field 'ServiceDate' that I would also like to be completed at the same time with today's date. I presume that this is =Date(), but where do I put it to make this happen?
I have form linked to table 1. The form has a few control buttons that change certain fields. I am trying to make one of these controls also append a new record to table 2. Table 2 only contains three fields. One of them will have the ID number of the main record, the second field will have the date at the time the button was clicked, and the third will have the contents of a text field copied to it. I understand this is going to possibly create duplicates, but that's exactly what I want in this case.
My problem is; I don't have a dang clue what I'm doing!
I've tried the INSERT INTO stuff, and I tried to make an append query etc. but I just don't know what I'm doing because this is the first time i've ever had to do this.
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.
Bit of a nightmare, put loads of information into my database, and when i look in the table all information is still there but can not get it to be displayed in my form, what has gone wrong??
When exporting from Acces to Excel numbers formatted to one decimal in Access are displayed with two decimals in Excel. How can I get them to export to one decimal? I know I can reformat them in Excel but I'd rather have it work automatically.
I am trying to import data from excel into one of Access table but it showing error F30 does not exist in destination table. I have checked headings which are matched. Same sheet tried to import in access successfully, but unable to import specific table...
I want an append query to add records to one of several tables, depending upon the value of a variable entered into a form. This variable is also used to select the appropriate records. The query is invoked from the visual basic code behind the form.
Can anyone tell me how to edit the destination table from within the visual basic?
I have purposely used "False" to ensure that the first line in my spreadsheet is ignored. This is because the first line in my spreadsheet contains headings that do not match the column names in my table.
I do not wish to change my headings as end users will be making use of my application and they will not like headings such as "int_FactoryID". Likewise I do not want to change the column names in my table to words such as "Factory ID" as this would be a bad naming convention.
Is there a way to use TransferSpreadsheet without necessarily matching the headings in the spreadsheet to the column headings?
Is there a way for TransferSpreadsheet to ignore the headings and assume that the first column in the spreadsheet needs to go to the first column in my SQL Server table?
I am trying to get a series of combo boxes to interact and record the selections made in new records within a destination table. Here is situation with respect to the tables involved:
1 table lists the names/acronyms of various research facilities and the branch to which they belong (acronym is PK) 1 table lists Financial Points of Contact for each facility (acronym is FK to relate to earlier table) 1 table lists Technical Points of Contact for each facility (acronym is FK to relate to Facility table) 1 table lists program participants and the branch they belong to (Branch in FK to relate to Facility table)
I am trying to create a form that allows me to set the participant and, from this selection, restricts the facility choices in the Facility combo box to those that fall within the branch to which the participant is assigned. I think the next step is pretty obvious too. Once the facility is selected I have combo boxes that would only display those Financial and Technical PoCs assigned to that facility.
I have watched the 4 Data Pig tutorials and I can easily make functional cascading combo boxes as long as they only refer to the look up tables. I generated perfectly functioning cascading combo boxes on a test form. How do I generate combo boxes that will then store the info selected in my destination table? Whenever I try to set a Control Source it disrupts the functioning of the queries.
I did a query based on a table. I deleted some records from my new query and when I went back to the original table the same data had been deleted from there too. Help.
We have a blank database that other units are copying to use at their bases. Most of the other users aren't Access savvy and I've been trying to develop ways to overcome this learning curve by automating as many "customizing" functions as possible. For instance, each unit that uses the database has different organizations, aircraft tail numbers, personnel listings, etc. I've got pretty much everything covered except one item.
The database is set up in a way in which it copies itself when it closes providing the UserID level is not 'Read Only.' This database doesn't use front/back end to control its users. It uses a log-on level based on a security example from this board.
It also has an archive function in which several tables are appended to an 'archive' database. This is a basic copy (minus of few functions) of the main database. The intent is to reduce the number of records in the working db w/o losing historical value.
I think the copy function shouldn't be too much of a problem for new users. I've developed a help file that should walk people through the steps to change the location of the copied file. This is done w/ a *.bat file and the change should be as simple as changing text. However, the archive function works off of severl append queries.
Is there a way to change the destination db other than in the query design view? Maybe a code or a box that treats the file location as a variable? The destination db is U:QA2k6 DatabaseArchiveQA Archive.mdb That works fine for us, but a new unit will have a different file location.
I'll try to make a smaller/scaled-down copy of the db later to post if anyone wants to check it out.
Currently I have three separate forms that correspond to three separate tables. The three tables cannot be combined. Is there a way to have a form write information to multiple tables depending on the field? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
I have 3 table table; Invoice table, Product table and Sale_product table. Sale product table records all sale from the product table

I did main form from Invoice table and sub form from Sale_product table. I want to use DLOOKUP function to load the name and price, quantity and calculate subtotal automatically from the product table based on the product code entered. i have being trying hard and i keep on getting "Name? error"
I am just beginning to manipulate Access from Excel.
I am trying to insert a row into a table. I am adding values for every field (8) except an Autonumber.
I have 2 Insert strings which are identical except for the fact that the one that doesn't work, doesn't specify which fields I am entering data into, which I presume shouldn't be necessary in this case.
When I try to use the second version I receive the error message...
Number of Query Values and Destination Fields are not the same.
I am receiving the error above when I try to execute the code below. I have checked the fields in the code as well as the table and I can't see what I am missing. The tblMeasure table which is the subform have the following fields:
The link between the two forms are StaffApraisedID to MStaffApraisedID then StaffID to MUserLoginID then StaffPosition to MPositonName. When I select a member and click the Duplicate button I received the error above. The area highlighted in red is where it errors out.
Code: Private Sub cmdDuplicateData_Click() On Error GoTo Err_cmdDuplicateData_Click Dim OldStaffID As Integer, NewStaffID As Integer OldStaffID = Me.StaffApraisedID 'Add new record to end of Recodset Object
Is there a way to append a pivot table to a table or possibly make a query based on a pivot table? I need to get a count of Part Numbers and I need the average price for all these parts. Additionally I want to ignore a count of less than 3.
Also I am having trouble filtering on the count in the pivot table... haha, so I was gonna Query on it later on.
i am trying to create a form with a sub-form in it. i have got my client details in it - address, phone, etc then within that table i would like to keep a track of treatments for each time they visit in decending order. can anyone help me out with this? hope someone understands what i mean
Need to confirm whether the Default formatting option in the Conditional formatting Dialog won't work in datasheet view of a form. Please note that all conditional criteria are working fine but not the Default Formatting option - only in the Datasheet view (In Single Form view the default formatting is working fine)
I am rebuilding an application for a client and I have an Access table that I am using as a temporary table. Once the user is done entering information into the temporary table through a form, the user presses an update button that appends the records using an Append Query in Access to an SQL Server Table.
The following error message occurs:
"ODBC -- insert on a linked table 'linked tblname' failed.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] Explicit value must be specified for identity column in table 'linked tblname' when IDENTITY INSERT is set to ON. (#545)
I am using a form, subform combination to record a bill with many details. The bill summary is posted into a tbl_TransactionsMain table in SQL Server using the ADO AddNew method. The PK for the tbl_TransactionsMain is then entered into the temporary table in Access. When the temporary table records are appended into tbl_TransactionDetail the error message occurs.
What is also interesting is while typing out this post I thought to test the error by manually trying to run the query. The query worked like a charm! :confused: When the orginal error occurred off of the form I tried to run the query manually and it failed. I am guessing that this might have something to do with the ODBC timeout.
I think SQL Server/ODBC connection is not liking how I have a set of records in an Access table with foreign key numbers assigned when I am attempting to append the records. I am new to SQL Server and any ideas are most appreciated! :)
I have two tables, submit and imgdest. Submit is edited by front-end users to load pictures for back-end users who then delete the images when they're done with them. Submit is edited by a form, in the form I've placed a button (Command37) that has code:
Code: Private Sub Command37_Click() Call InsertData MsgBox "Completed", "0", "Completed Backup" Exit Sub End Sub Private Sub InsertData()
[code]....
This code was working for a short while, now anytime it's run I get error 3027 - Cannot update. Database or object is read-only. However, I can open the linked table and manually change information in it with no problems.
