Create New Record In 2 Tables At Once
Jan 9, 2007
hi everyone,
i think this must be easy but im new and despite reading lots just cant figure it out.
i have 2 tables
job details:
autonumber
customer
location
time
picking list:
autonumber,
equipment1
equipment2
equipment3
both the autonumber are primary and linked in a relationship.
when i create a new record in the job details table i need it to automatically create the coresponding blank line in the picking list table with the same number. If I enter something in the picking list table then it creates the matching number and everything is ok but if i dont then it throws my numbers out.
any idea how to get it to do what i need,
thanks

I am unable to create a new record due the the following error "The changes you requested to the table were not successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primary key, or relationship. " I have looked everything over and can't find how the duplication is occurring. I am pretty sure it is the primary key of a table called Squad, but it's set to autonumber. I have uploaded the database hoping an experienced or fresh set of eyes could spot the problem. The goal of the database is to track squad inventory along with officers assigned to the squads. The main form is generically called "unit_Numbers" which uses "Squad Subform". Everything else seems to work correctly except for creating another squad.

Table has a relationship with master table. Joined on TractID primary table - auto number, TractID child table - number. This works as it should when adding a new record.
What I am trying to do is create a new key for each new record added in the child table with an ID that looks like this: TractID.A, TractID.B, TractID.C etc. for each new record added in the child table. if so where do I look, how to accomplish it?

I am wondering if it is possible to automatically create a new field in one table whenever a new record is entered in another table. The name of the field would be the primary key entry of that new record.
I have one table (table 1) in which each record corresponds to a particular mouse with a unique ID number, and each field is the ID number of a particular genetic marker. The table overall shows what genotype (+ or -) a mouse has at each marker.
In the other table (table 2) the primary key of each record is the ID number of a genetic marker, and the fields are several different bits of information about the marker (e.g. what chromosome it's on, its location on the chomosome, etc.)
I would like to have it set up so that if I enter a new genetic marker in table 2 a field named after its marker ID will automatically appear in table 1. Is there a way to do this?

I'm pretty new to making databases outside of a basic access class..Is it possible to make a record in one table that makes a new record in 5 different tables using different bits of the initial record?I want to use the data entered in an evaluation form to create a new entry with the basic identifying information in 4 different tables.

I currently have a pharmaceutical lot database set up in the following format:
MFGData (table w/Manufacturing Info)
QAData (table w/ Quality Assurance Info)
QCData (table w/ Quality Control Info)
PASData (table w/ Process & Analytical Science Info)
SCData (table w/ Supply Chain Info)
[Code] ....
Each table has a corresponding form for data entry in each area. The tables were subdivided in this way in order to limit each department's ability to edit the data of other departments. The only field common to each table is the drug lot number, or "Lot #" (which is the primary key of each table).
I wanted to make it so that when Manufacturing enters a new lot number on frmMFGData, it automatically creates that lot number in the other 4 tables. This process mirrors our actual real world business process, where drugs are manufactured and assigned new lot numbers by our manufacturing team, and then other departments simply reference those numbers when doing their part.
To accomplish this, I went ahead and set up 1 to 1 relationships between the various tables using their "Lot #" fields, establishing referential integrity and enabling cascading updates. However, when I attempted to enter a new lot number into frmMFGData (the manufacturing form), it didn't seem to appear in any of the other tables. If I edit an existing lot number and change it to something else, the change does carry over to the other tables, so I know that the cascading updates are working in some capacity.
If cascading updates cannot "cascade" new records, then is there any other way to accomplish this?

When I tried paste some data using front end to my database, Access showed error (can't create record because data would be duplicated). I thought it's impossible because it is autonumber field. So I checked it (manually). I did copy of my database and then for testing, I created record. I was shocked. Next record should has a value of "160" but Access gave "130" then showed an error "Can't create record because data will be duplicated". Of course after compact and repair everything is fine.

I am trying to create a form to enter data in a table. I would like to make it pull in info from a switchboard. If the record already exists I would like it to find it and allow me to edit the info. If the record doesn't exist I would like to be able to add a new record with the data input. What is the best way to accomplish this?

I'm trying to create a table for every record I have in a field. I have two tables, one titled "Experiments" and another titled "Students". I want the new tables generated from the field EXP_NAME from Experiments. I need it to have seven fields, one copied from Students, five labeled Trial1 thru Trial5, and a final for a grade.

I've only just started using Access 2007 at my new job. I've been asked to create a database that will show appointments for all 10 of the employees. I have created a table for the main schedule (where ill put all the data) then one for each of the employees. I've managed to link the tables no problem but it wont let me create and updating relationship. It keeps saying "no unique index found for the referenced field of the primary table". How do I fix this?
I want it to automatically update the date, time, location, customer name and description, if its changed on the main schedule for a certain appointment on the corresponding employees schedule.

I am developing a database which will track some of my companies clients bonus trips. Basically everyone is going to the same place but folks are of different levels. Level A is a 14 day trip with X number of activities, Level B is a 10 day trip with Y number of activities and so on. The major things I'll have to track are all of their personal information as well as 'Air Travel', 'Hotel Stay', and 'Recreational Activities' information.
I can put all of this information in to one table (tblTraveler), or am I better off with creating tblTraveler holding only personal information and then linking to other tables such as tblAir, tblHotel, and so on? I'm not entirely new to Access, but no pro yet for sure. Only problem with creating one table is that it would have one whole lotta fields. Not sure if it's better developing technique to split everything up.
Also, the only thing I can come up with as a primary key is the people's last names. The client numbers are the same on many of them, so that's the only thing I can come up with. The PK really is only a factor if it's best to create multiple tables for the traveler. At first I thought it was best to split everything, but now I'm seeing less reason to take all of the travelers information and dump in seperate tables since most of the time on the master reports the trip planners want everything lumped together. Perhaps I'm better off just keeping the forms clean and seperate and just one table? The reports will do the rest for me. Any input greatly appreciated.

I think I know the answer to this, but thought I'd see if anyone had any ideas... I was asked if there was any way to know when a record was created in the database. When the table for these records was created, a field for "Enter Date" (i.e. the date the record was enterd into / created in the database) was not a part of the structure. I know that for going forward, we can create this field in the table and have it populate with Date() behind the scenes so we can track the actual enter date. But, for the records that are already there, is there anything that Access keeps somewhere as to when the record was created in the table?
Thanks in advance~

I have a program that you can search all or a specific record. Once you find the record, you can double click on it and another form will open up with only that record's information.
What I need is to have a button that will copy this record's name, address, phone number, contact info, and etc --> and create a new record with a new Record Number using the current record. This will allow the user to avoid entering in the same information again. For confirmation purposes, I would like to have a SAVE button to verify and save to the DB.
Does anyone have any inputs on how I can do this? If you would like to see the program, please let me know.
Thanks in advance for all your help and suggestions!

How do I create a new record (in the table to which the form is bound) automatically if, when the form opens, there is no record in the table that meets the criteria in the form filter?

I have a table (tblSales) with these fields (RecDate, Code, Type, OrderCount).
I also have a linked table (lnkSales) with these fields.
Daily I append the data from the lnkSales to tblSales.
The tblSales table must have a record for each code daily.
These are the codes (01,02,05,07,09,10,15).
I need to automatically add a record for each code that wasn't appended.
For example,
lnkSales contains:
03/22/06 01 Mc 3
03/22/06 02 Mc 1
03/22/06 05 Mc 1
03/22/06 07 Mc 2
03/22/06 10 Mc 1
When appended to tblSales there is no record for code 09 or 15.
I need to add these records to tblSales
03/22/06 09 Mc 0
03/22/06 15 Mc 0
Can someone explain the best way to accomplish this?
Thanks.

I am new to using MS Access and I am having a difficult time trying to do one particular thing. What I am trying to do is represented in the Contacts database template in Access 2007. When that database is opened, there is a link labeled as New displayed on the table that opens a form to enter a new record. I cannot figure out how to do that, can anyone help?
Also, is there a way to automatically open a particular form when the database is opened?

I would like to create a button with a macro that will bring up a blank form to create a new record (as opposed to going directly to the datasheet table). There are options to Save a Record, Refresh a Record, Search for A Record, Delete a Record and Show All Records, but I don't see a macro to create a new record.

Hi All
I am trying to create a database for estimating manhours on projects. There is a setup table with two columns: "Project" and "Time Period". The database is supposed to allocate manhours to tasks on projects, which is used in estimating man hour costs and also forecasting labour resource requirements.
For example, say the database is used for "Project X" and "Project Y" projects, with Project X running from Jan to March and Project Y running from Aug to Dec. The setup table would look like this:
PROJECT TIME PERIOD
Project X Jan
Project X Feb
Project X March
Project Y Aug
Project Y Sept
Project Y Oct
Project Y Nov
Project Y Dec
From this table, I need to automatically create a new table for each unique project that allows man power to be allocated to each time period. Following on with the example, there are two unique projects, so two tables
need to be automatically created with column headings as per below:
Project X table:
FUNCTION PERSON JAN FEB MARCH
Project Y table:
FUNCTION PERSON AUG SEPT OCT NOV DEC
"Function" is a description of a role, for example engineer. "Person" is the individual undertaking that role, for example Bob Jane. Then in each time period a number between 0 and 1 would be entered corresponding to how much time (0 is no time, 1 is full time) that person would be spending on that function for that time period. Then the table would be populated with many functions and people in this manner.
So the number of tables automatically created depends on how many unique projects there are in the "Project" field of the setup table. The number of columns in these tables will be atleast two: "Function" and "Person",
plus another column for each time period defined for that project.
Perhaps something can be done with a make-table query, but all I can get that to do is copy data from one table straight into another table.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thankyou in advance.
Joey

I am a newbie to access and i am working on a project that has two tables
the primary table has for example the following fields:
firstnameID(primary key) data type auto number
Firstname data type text
the second table has for example :
LastnameID(primary key) data type auto number
Lastname data type text
FirstnameID (foreign key)data type number
I created a relationship between the FirstnameID in the primary table and the FirstnameID in the second table ..
My problem is this whenever i try to view the relationship when i open the primary table it don't show the relationship ,
The Field FirstnameID in the secondary field is always Empty the only time the relationship is created is when i manually insert the autonumber that is generated in the FirstnameID field , but i thought that since a link was created then that field would have automatically be inseted with data , am i assuming wrong or am i doing somethingn wrong? how do i get the autonumber to be inserted in the field automatically to create the relationship?
Please Help

I need to make Access automatically create new records in a table for me.
Just for example:-
Table #1 has 2 fields
PersonID (autonumber)
PersonData (text)
Table #2 has 3 fields
ID (autonumber)
PersonID (number)
MoreData (text)
The database user creates a new record in Table #1 using a form.
I need the database to automatically create a field in Table #2 and fill in PersonID, taking the value from the autonumber field of the same name in Table #1.
The MoreData field can be left blank. I don't need that filled in automatically. I just need a new record to be created automatically in table2 with the PersonID field filled in with the most recently created autonumber.
Help massively appreciated.

I have a main form called FrmCalls with a button on, which when pressed brings up a pop up form called FrmSurround, within which is a subform in datasheet format called FrmContacts. This has 3 fields within it. I want the system to tak a value from Frmcalls (numeric value) when the button is pressed and place it as a new record in one of the fields on the datasheet (FrmContacts).
Any ideas anyone?
Please,

I have the following code on a combo box in a form that creates a new record in the table Products if it doesn't already exist:
Code:Private Sub comProduct_NotInList(NewData As String, Response As Integer) Dim strSQL As String 'Exit this sub if the combo box is cleared If NewData = "" Then Exit Sub strSQL = "Insert Into Products ([Product]) " & _"values ('" & NewData & "');" CurrentDb.Execute strSQL, dbFailOnError Response = acDataErrAdded End Sub
It creates a new record and inputs the appropriate value into the Product field, however then it goes to the next record and when I try to edit other fields, it does so on a new record.
So, for example, I wanted to set the Product field to ProductA and the Brand field to BrandB and the Size field to 200, it produces two separate records like this (code box used for formatting):
Code:Product | Brand | Size |ProductA BrandB 200

Hello,
I have two controls on my form that I want to reference in an append query to create a new record. The first is a text box, the second is a combobox that is populated with all of the dates associated with the text box. The selection of a date updates a subform based off of a hidden column (chart ID, an autonumber field based on combinations of record numbers and visit dates) in the same combobox.
I would like the user to be able to enter a new date and create a new record that would contain the next autonumber in association with the new date and the record number from the text box control. I have tried using an append query with the following SQL, but I consistently get errors referring to "type mismatch." Any help would be greatly appreciated; thanks in advance.
Code:Private Sub cboDOVSearchChart_NotInList(NewData As String, Response AsInteger)Dim ans As Variantans = MsgBox("The date you entered was not found. Do you want to add a newdate?", _vbYesNo, "Add New Date?")If ans = vbNo ThenResponse = acDataErrContinueMe.cboDOVSearchChart = NullDoCmd.GoToControl "cboDOVSearchChart"GoTo exit_itEnd If' add dateIf ans = vbYes Then Dim strSQL As String strSQL = "INSERT INTO Patient_Visits ([Medical Record Number], " _ & "[Date of Visit]) " _ & "Values (" & Me.[txtChartMR] & ", " _ & "#" & CDate(NewData) & "#)" 'this line has the arrow on debug CurrentDb.Execute strSQL Me.cboDOVSearchChart.Requery Me.cboDOVSearchChart = NewData Call cboDOVSearchChart_AfterUpdateEnd Ifexit_it:End Sub
