Append Query Cannot Find Values In Form

May 15, 2005

i am trying to create an append query that gets 2 values from one table and a 3rd value from a form.

It gets the values from the table fine but always gives me a popup asking for the value from the form.

I have used the criteria build... and selected the loaded form and the field value that I am looking for. I have also made sure that there is a value in the field on the form.

is there a reason why the query will not grab the number in the forms field? or am I jsut not doing this right.

I have done this many times on a combo box and it works fine. It is jsut not working for a field that is typed in
Can anyone help me?

Append Query & Null Values

Sep 7, 2007

Have the following scenario with perhaps inbuilt fatal flaw

Building an Inventory Management db and in the process of constructing the tools to move some inventory from 1 location in the warehouse to another (purely an internal transfer)

Part of my table design includes an allocated quantity field to record any outstanding orders for this inventory unit (I am planning on a built in LIFO system, which I haven't got around to contemplating yet)

All went well, the stock was decreased from the existing location using an update query. but failed to materialise in the new location using an append query

After much yelling and cursing at the offending query, finally did a search and found the following:

Update queries will not work if you trying to append a primary key value (knew that one) OR you are trying to append a null value into a field

In the real world, it may well be possible that I will have 0 allocations for a given inventory unit

Does anybody know a way around this seeming impass, or am I faited to rebuild my tables again?

Thanks in advance for any enlightenment

Queries :: How To Create A Query To Append Values

Nov 6, 2014

I am trying to create a query to append new records from my NEW database into my old excel database.....

The old DB has 4-5 extra tabs that the NEW database does not have so when I append, in those extra columns the new database will just have blank records since the column doesn't exist.

Usually I do a append query in design view. but sometimes it gets funny because it creates duplicates...

How would I go about it, so its quicker and persistent like creating a macro excel.

Creating A Form To Append A Table With Values From Other Tables

Oct 12, 2006

Hi,

I have built an Access DB containing 3 tables: dimensions, time, companies. The tables are not linked and are to be used to look up values for the new form. The goal is to create an Access form that would allow the user to select distinct values from all 3 tables, enter some own data and then execute an append query to add the record to the main table.

Something like this:

Initially I have 3 tables:

Prepopulated Dimensions table with fields:
dimension
....

Prepopulated Time table with fields:
Date
Day
Month
Year

Prepopulated Companies table with fields:
Company
....


My form is to be able to select distinct values (combobox) from all three fields:
Company
Dimension
Day
Month
Year
Value (data entered by user)

The record then is appended to the Main table containing:
Company
Dimension
Day
Month
Year
Value (data entered by user)

Thanks a lot for your time and help!

Tables :: Append Query Not Working / Null Values?

Sep 24, 2014

I have an append query created to add files to a table from an imported excel file. The table to which I am appending (SubTBL) has a field names Observation. This field is not required. There is a relationship to another table (ObservationTBL) which has 3 records. The information I am trying to append includes 7000 records, about 4000 have observations assigned and they match the information in the ObservationTBL. The remaining 3000 have blank records for observation. When I run the append query, only those with observations are appended. The rest are not added because of "key violations". I removed the relationship between the ObservationTBL and the SubTBL and the append query runs. Then when I try to re-do the relationship it fails "Violates referential integrity rules".To be clear:

1. The records without an observation are blank. (There are other fields in this append that have blank fields also and they are not causing any problems)
2. The field observation is NOT set to required.

Is it not allowing Null records?

Queries :: Append Query With User Entered Parameter Values

Sep 17, 2013

I have an append query that currently looks like this URL...This query automatically adds the machine parameters for a product code and lot number into the running condition log. This is so the user does not have to manually go in and tediously select each machine parameter.

The running condition log also has a date field to specify what day and record number the machine parameter's value was recorded on. When I run the query the appended rows look like this. The product and lot are defined by user parameter and there are actually about 36 machine parameters

Code:
Productstockcode LotNo Day Record Parameter ActualCond
PE-500 130816m71 StockTemp
PE-500 130816m71 Zone 1
PE-500 130816m71 Zone 2

My question is: how do I modify the query to automatically add the date and record number in one shot? It needs to be user defined at the time of the query because this data is not stored anywhere else in the database. For each 36 machine parameters the day and record would be the same.

Queries :: Append Query To Check For Existing Values And Add Only Those Not Present

Oct 23, 2013

I have a database used to manage teaching assignments (which kid is assigned to which teacher so to speak). I have this relationship defined through three tables, a teacher table, a student table, both with unique ID's. The third table is used to define the assignment. Also, the kid table has an extra GroupID. The group ID is what is used to define. So in the definition table, Teacher 1 is assigned to Group 1, and so on (though their may be 20 kids in group 1). When a new teacher is added to the teacher table, I need it to add it to the corresponding field in the definition table. The groupID is in the table as an Autonumber so that will populate automatically.

I need to appendTeacherID to tblassignment (TeacherassignmentID) and have only one occurrence of the TeacherID. So, if I have teachers 1-8 listed, each assigned to a group# in the tblassignment, and I add Teacher 9, I need it to add Teacher 9's unique ID to the TeacherassignmentID field without adding 1-8 again. I can't figure out how to "check" for ID's 1-9 and add only those I've added to the teacher list that aren't already assigned to a group.

I've tried a few different SQL queries append/select queries but nothing seems to do what I need it to do....

Modules & VBA :: Function To Find Null Values For Each Form

Apr 10, 2015

I have a form with couple of textboxes bound to a table. When the user opens the form to enter records, i want to write a function that would go through the textboxes to check whether the textboxes are left NULL. Now i can write code on button click for each form, but i was wondering if its possible to write a function that could be called for each form that i have to check for null values.

Passing Form Value To Append Query

Nov 13, 2007

Dear All, I have a problem which I need to solve and am in need of a clue!

I have a table which contains lots of line items relating to quotes. Each quote usually contains three line items and is prefixed in all cases with a number which relates to number of users. For example

5 5 User Software Details Price Cost Note

in the table there are up to 100 users and each has line 3 items. I automate quote generation by using a form. In the form a quote reference is generated and a text box for the number of users. I have a command button which then, based on the value of users text box, selects from the line items table and sends the records to my TblQuotes.

My Tbl quotes is exactly the same structure as my line items table except it also has a field for the quote reference which is in the form.

Where I am stuck is I cant seem to get Access to send the quote reference into the TblQuotes as part of the append query.

Please help! :confused:

Append Query To Add Data From Form To Table

Mar 24, 2008

I understand that I can use an append query to add data to a table from a form and then have it run by using a command button. I want to do this because when I link the form directly to the table I do not want the form to create a new record every time it is invoked. (it does this automatically because I have visual basic code move to acNewRec and fill in some of the fields on load and lock them off, this is neccessary) I also do not want it to create the record immediately because the user might then decide to cancel their actions and leave the form - then I have half a record's worth of data in my tables! :D

I could just use VB and recordsets to do it but SQL is more elegant. The problem is, when I use the append query it appends an extra record to the table for every single record that already exists within it. So a table with 1500 records will have 1500 new entries containing duplicate data!

This is all a mess, so what would be a better approach? The user does not need to navigate through the records on this form or make edits, it's strictly for additions. There is a subform linked to a table that is in a one-to-many relationship with the table that the parent form must update to, but I'm quite happy to leave that one linked directly.

Any suggestions appreciated ;) I've probably done something thick..

Append Query Linked To A Form Problem?

Apr 14, 2005

Please can you help me find the issue to my problem that is probably hitting me in the face.

I have an unbound form to which i use an append query to post the data from the fields on the form to a table.
The table is set up very simple and has a primary key which i will never duplicate as you would expect.

Once i have inputted one lot of data into the form the command button runs the query and the data is posted to the table fine. The problem i am having is that the second lot of information i go to append the query refuses to add.
I get the validation rule violations error and it won't post the data.

If i close out of the form, open it again and input the same information the query adds it fine and again the second lot you get the error message.

i had this problem before but for the love of me cannot remember how i resolved it. I have had to keep closing the form after each entry to post the information.

Any help much appreciated.

Queries :: Create A Form To Run Append Query

Jul 19, 2013

I am creating a database for users that no nothing about access nor do they want to learn. So the database needs to be as simple as possible.

This being the case I would like to avoid users from creating/editing querys.

I would like to have a form that would run the append query. The query would have a date column and a status column that the query would filter.

The query would have a criteria for status that would equal to "BACKED OUT" and the date would need to link to the two text fields on the form. My problem is writing the VBA code to make the query append in the background.

For sake of argument:
Query = qryappend
Form = frmappend
Table = tblappend

MS Access Can't Append All The Records In The Append Query

Feb 18, 2007

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.

What am i doing wrong???

Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.

Pulling A Value From A Form To Create New Records In Append Query

Feb 27, 2006

So, I've been searching through this forum and can't seem to find the answer to this one. I would like to capture a value from a main form and have it used as a value in an append query, in order to populate a subform based on the main form, like so:

INSERT INTO tblTakenSurveys ( VisitID, SurveyQuestionID, ResponseCodeID) SELECT Forms![frmMyFormName]!VisitID, tblSurveyQuestions.SurveyQuestionID, 66
FROM SurveyQuestions WHERE SurveyID = 3;

Might help to explain some of the terms in this statement:
tblTakenSurveys is where I need the new data to be entered via the subform.
Forms![frmMyFormName]!VisitID is a textbox control bound to a PK in another table that has a one-to-many relationship with tblTakenSurveys.
tblTakenSurveys.ResponseCodeID is a foreign key that represents respondents actual answers to questions.
66 is a value for a ResponseCodeID that stands for a dummy value meaning "data not yet entered"


As per advice I received from others on this forum, I have set a query like the above to run from a command button to populate the subform (in theory). But I'm sure I've done something wrong within the query because it will not return a value from the form "VisitID" control and therefore will not append the rows. Without the appended rows, my subform will not populate. And this has me running in circles...

I pasted the link to another thread below, where I originally received a lot of input as far as the table structure. I did not start this one, but my posts are the most recent (as of now anyway). Pat Hartman had given me a lot of the guidance here.

Comparing 2 Tables To Find Duplicate Values

May 9, 2006

Hey all

Im rather new to access but have to use it at work. Ive been asked to see if there is a way to delete duplicate records from a table.

Now, I have 2 tables. The 1st table (tbl_list) contains records of various customer details. This list is old.

The second table (tbl_new_list) contains new customer details.

We have found that we have the same customer details in tbl_new_list that are in the old table.

Im looking for a way to compare these 2 tables so that the values in tbl_list are not in tbl_new_list.

I have tried numerous methods using append queries but nothing seems to work.

Thanks in advance people

P.S the data will be compared through a telephone number.

Modules & VBA :: Find Duplicates Of Values In Array

Oct 4, 2014

I have to deal with string arrays that store text. I need info on copying, comparing, appending arrays. Also on passing arrays as parameters to subs or functions. Where I can get to this info quickly without having to browse through many screens.

In addition to this I have some questions:

I have to find the duplicates of values in an array. Here is the code that I use.

Code:
Sub FindDuplicates()
Dim I As Integer, J As Integer, IEND As Integer, text() As String
ReDim text(IEND)
For I = 1 To IEND - 1
For J = I + 1 To IEND
If text(I) = text(J) Then text(J) = ""
Next J
Next I
End Sub

It works but is not performing well. Are there more efficient ways of doing this?

Modules & VBA :: Afterupdate To Find And Goto Duplicate Values

That number is unique, so i want to have it where if someone fills in a number that already exists in the database the afterupdate event will open that record in the form.Here's the code i put in the input textbox update field:

private Sub chipsoftnummer_AfterUpdate()
Dim NewCHIP As Integer
Dim stLinkCriteria As Integer
Dim custNo As Integer

It doesn't work, simple things like hello world do work so VBA is enabled.

I've attached the corresponding part of the database (took out all non-relevant fields and tabs) .
