i have a sub form which on the click of a button sets 4 fields
Private Sub Command8_Click()
LastPaymentDate.Value = Date
NextPaymentDate.Value = Date + 7
AmountPaid.Value = [Form_Frm_Customer]![Payments]
[Form_Frm_Customer]![Payments Due By].Value = Date + 7
End Sub
It updates all the fields fine but i keep getting the error 'the changes you requested were not successful because they would create duplicate values'
I have checked the table and all fields are set to allow duplicates.
We are working on an Access (2007) database that is on a SharePoint Site (2007).
Currently the form is operational, but there is one last thing that would be nice to have.
The table is "Updated Headcount" which contains "EMP_ID" which are unique numbers stored as text.
In the event a new employee is entered in the system by another user on this site we would like to prevent any duplicate "EMPID"s from being entered and saved on the SharePoint, we would also like to alert the user and prevent the data from being saved.
All data is currently bound, so once the user makes a change it is made, no submit button is required.
We are running into some difficulties in doing a dlookup from the value entered and comparing to a column in the table.
TABLE - UPDATED HEADCOUNT COLUMN in UPDATED HEADCOUNT - EMPID FORM CELL user will input an EMPID - newEMPID FORM CELL used for a dlookup to compare what user has entered to what is already in the table - duplicateEMPID
So below is what we are trying to do, we are sure there are a few commands missing....
I'm trying to determine the SQL to return only those records in a table which have duplicate values in each of two fields, but different values in a third field. Here's an example:
Code:
AcctNum FoodType FoodClass ------- -------- --------- A123 Apple Fruit A123 Apple Fruit A123 Grape Fruit A456 Potato Vegetable A456 Potato Perishable A789 Carrot Vegetable A001 Banana Fruit
For the above table, I'm trying to return records which have multiple entries for AcctNum + FoodType, but DIFFERENT values for FoodClass. So for the above table, the query would return:
It returns these two records because there is more than one record with for the AcctNum + FoodType (i.e. 'A456' + 'Potato'), but DIFFERENT values for FoodClass (i.e. one record has 'Vegetable' while the other has 'Perishable').
I have a many to many relationship, and one of my tables (the junction table) has only 2 fields (BookID & AuthorID). These fields together are set as primary key, in order to avoid duplicate records. Eventually, if i will try to put a duplicate record, i will get Access error's message "The changes you requested to the table were not successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primarykey or relationship ..."
What is the best approach in order to check whether a duplicate record is going to be created, and if yes, i will get a customised error message rather than the above mentioned default error message ?
I need help creating a report that summarizes duplicated values. I need to write a query that groups payments of equal amounts (duplicate values only) for each vendor together. I need to show a group header containing the vendor number and name. I was using the Having Count(*) > 1 function but that only tells me which values are duplicates It doesn't display them. I need to display the duplicates.
I have a form in a database for our products (doors). I have a button that duplicates one of these records (all new products are based on standard template records).
When this record is created a new product number is produced by the system which was the number of the original (template) record plus the customer enquiry number.
I want to be able to warn the user if they are trying to save this newly created record with a product number that already exists so that they can alter the number to be unique. It will also warn them if they re-number an existing record to another already existing product number. Since the field is defined as unique, at present the system says absolutely nothing and just doesn't save the newly created record which seems is a touch annoying!
I have tried several things with dlookup, dcount arguments but can't seem to get anything to work.
Hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction?
Can someone tell me how a primary key in the attached can be set on the index to duplicates OK yet, when you click on the indexes icon on the toolbar, the UR is set to be aprimary key..
Is there a way that in a query from several tables you can choose to exclude duplicates of a specific field?
In the query I'm trying to create I am going through and counting the number of customers in a certain time frame. I don't want to count a customer each time they buy something though, I only want to count them once. The dates of their purchases are held in a seperate table for purchases and the customer information is held in a customer table. The information I need is in both of these tables and each customer has an ID number which is how the two tables are joined.
When I tried using the DISTINCT code it still brought in all the purchases because the customer bought things on different dates. The only way I have ever used this, however, is to write SELECT DISTINCT at the beginning of the SQL instead of just SELECT. If there's another way to use it to do what I need I will try it as long as you tell me what it is.
How can I set up the query to bring in all the information I need but not duplicate the ID numbers?
I've got a query where a particular field can have duplicate entries. I do NOT want to limit the properties to only have unique values. On the contrary, I very much WANT to keep those but I DO want to have something indicating that the duplicates are there. I can create another Y/N or true/false field to indicate this if needed.
I have a table called Department. One employee may belong to more than one department. So I created three tables, Emptable, Depttable, and DeptDatatable. The Emp table and The dept table both have a primary key. Emp# in Emptable to Emp# in Dept Data Table. Dept# in Depart Table Primary key to foreign key in Dept# key in Dept Data Table. In other words:
Employee One to Many Department Data both using Emp# Department One to Many to Department Data both using Department#
I have created a form for data entry for the young lady that enters the data. Right now, there are two entries in the department data for any employee that belongs to more than one department. My question is how do I create a form that allow the person that is entering data to only enter the employee in once and enter multiple values into the department field. How would it create then two entries into the Dept Data Table? I have been reading up about fields that allow duplicate data but this treats the fields like memo fields. I need to draw queries from Departments, so not sure if that would work. I also need the Department to be a list that they choose from.
Good morning all! I have a problem, I have a contact list table in my database such as name, addr, company, street, country etc. The problem is that I have multiple duplicates of the same data. How do i delete the duplicates? Is there an SQL query that I can run to delete? How do I do it. Please help. Thanks a bunch!
I am using a combo box to select client records. The problem I am having is that there are several clients with the same last name. The query behind the combo box sorts on Last Name, First Name.
When I (as an example) select the second listed duplicate name from the combo dropdown, The form is populated with the data from the first duplicate name. (example Jones, John or Jones, William).
How can I make sure that the selected name will populate the form?
I am getting the error in a grid which has combobox. This combobox allows only to select unique values from the list. Whenever i selects the same value in another combo which is already selected in the grid, its shows the popup with the below message and makes us not to click anywhere else in the application.
"The changes you requested to the table were not successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primary key, or relationship.Change the data in the field or fields that contain duplicate data, remove the index, or redefine the index to permit duplicate entries, and try again".
And when i delete the duplicate value selected in combobox it shows the popup with this message "Index or primary key cannot contain NULL value".
I simply wants this : Whenever user selects duplicate value, message must be displayed and user comes out from that combo.
Hi - it's been a while since I did much access and am trying to help someone out and have got into a pickle! A quick job has turned out to be a lot more complicated! Plus I'm having to use *spit* Acc 2k.
When I go into frmHighCostDrug (from the "add new drug episode" button on the frmPatient) I often get the message "The changes you requested were not successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primary key, relationship etc etc."
Now, I didn't think I'd forgotten that much. I've got primary keys, values in the table set to Null, relationships set and ref integrity set and cannot for the life of me see why this is happening.
I know though, that one of you will say "oh it's that" and point it out and I'm going to feel completely stupid, but at the moment, I don't mind! I really can't figure it out.
I've attached db - it's in Acc2k and I tried to do a copy Acc'97 for those who don't have it but it caused no end of problems. Came up with messages that this form contains data that Access doesn't support!!!! ??? :confused: If I can sort it I will.
I have a table with one primary key (ClientID) which is an autonumber (cannot be duplicated), and another field which is a number field which is set to a random 6 digits (also cannot be duplicated) whenever a new client record is created.
Now, the main database is on a desktop, and my partner and i are connected to this main database through our laptops whenever we're in the office. For the last 6 months, I had only the ClientID in the form (from the Client Table), and everything would work fine whenever we created a new record in the Form, even if we created a new record at the same time on our personal laptops, the numbers would automatically be increased by one w/ no error.
I just added the other field now, the regular 6 digit random number field, and sometimes (only sometimes) when we both have a different client and start a new record, we get error messages that says we're creating duplicates. When that error message comes up, one of us has to close down the form completely, and reopen and start a new record again. Not sure why this is happening. Here is the error message.
I have a union query. I am pulling in data from two (almost identical) SQL views in two different databases.
My MS_Access application is linked to the two views
The issue is A.GroupId. In view finance_WILPMonthEndReview the field is set to NVARCHAR255 in view iq4bisfinance_3DMonthEndReview the field is set to NCHAR255.
This is my union query.
SELECT A.Dataareaid,A.a_year, A.a_month, A.GroupID, A.dimension, A.accountnum,A.companygroupaccount,A.account_type, C.groupiddesc,D.costcelldescription, B.PL1assignment, Round([A.SumOfActual_amt],2) AS ActAmt, Round([A.SumOfBudget_amt],2) AS BgtAmt

When I link my Excel pivot table to the query I get two lines
I am working with an Excel file of raw data aggregated from an annual customer relationship survey that has been sent out since 2010. The file has approximately 20,000 rows, meaning the survey has been taken around 20,000 times. Unfortunately, each time a customer takes the survey, it is included in the raw data as a separate entry. Therefore the file has numerous duplicate email addresses, corresponding with unique data for each time the survey was taken. Another issue regarding the data, is that in the first year the survey was sent out, the distribution mechanism "broke" and the survey was sent out multiple times (and completed multiple times) in the same year by the same customer, so the surveys are not necessarily uniformly distributed, if that makes sense.
I have been interested in isolating the common respondents (those who have taken the survey across multiple years, albeit not necessarily consecutive years). Up to this point, these respondents have been isolated manually using a pivot table, however I am now looking to enter the raw data into SPSS (a statistical analysis package), in order to view the drivers of these common respondents.
Therefore, I would like to be able to isolate these common respondents and the data corresponding with their surveys from the raw data in a separate worksheet or file. I have tried various formulas to do so in Excel to no avail. Is there anyway to accomplish this in Access or would a more complex database be needed?
Ideally the final product would have the common respondents' information from multiple surveys in one row and would be able to be filtered by feedback date (found in the raw data), so that hypothetically one could select a month and be able to tell how many customers considered to be common respondents completed a survey within that month.
I have a query with over 85,000 lines of data where each row has a unique id but the unique id appears multiple times within the table. For example, there is a unique numeric id tide to various types of pets across four columns. So the id number 1 could appear in four different rows each with different pets. Please see the first attachment "Original Table"
I want to be able to create a table that has one for for each unique id with all of the corresponding pet data. Please see the attached "Desired Table".
I have one table where ID field is autogenerated, and another field orderno which is not primary key. Now it has 2 duplicate values in it so when I try to make field Orderno as primary key, it is not allowing me to do so.
Can any one help me how to find the duplicate values using query.
I have a question I've been trying to figure out with no luck. I have 2 fields, companyname and zip, these 2 fields may have duplicate values or they may be uniquei.e.
companyname zip billybobs 68135 dilberts 68137 billybobs 68135
what I need to do is delete all of the duplicate records where both companyname and zip match. Is there a way I can do that with a query?
I am fairly new to using access and am currently creating a database for a small bakery. They have new legislation whereby they have to list all their product ingredients and any allergens in the ingredients must be shown in bold.
one to input ingredients and a checkbox if it is an allergen
The other has a main form and subform to get ProductName, Photo and then a combo box in the subform to add ingredients.
Everything appears to be working ok but I have an issue with my subform. The combo box has no duplicates and lists the ingredients in alphabetical order as I require. However, if I view the subform separately from the main form I see that it is storing all the ingredients selected for each product. Therefore it is storing a lot of duplicate information.
I am using Access 2010 on a Windows 7 laptop. I need a query to provide a list of ID's that have more than one occurrence of IDandDate combined but haven't been successful getting past syntax errors.
Using this table structure as an example: ID - defined as text field Date - defined as date/time field TestValue
This legacy table contains a record for each test. The table should be unique based on the ID and Date combination but was never restricted to that rule. I am converting to a new table but need to identify the duplicate entries so they can be addressed by business folks.
