Because of a data-import I would like to import all new data into existing tables. Therefore I first need to dump all my existing test data throughout 30 tables which have several relations.
Is there a command in access or a batch script which performs a bulk delete among all tables?
Hi guys,
I have 23k records
I have run the wizard to find all the duplicates according to one field.
So i have the results, except that some of the records contain nothing within the searchable field - so it returns all the records with nothing in the searchable field as duplicates.
How would i modify the query to perform the search but exclude the records with no data.
The SQL query below is the default wizard output for find duplicates, how would i change this??
SELECT Master.EMAIL, Master.MemID, Master.MEMBERNO, Master.FIRSTNAME, Master.LASTNAME, Master.POSITION, Master.ORGAN, Master.ADDRESS1, Master.ADDRESS2, Master.ADDRESS3, Master.ADDRESS4, Master.COUNTY, Master.COUNTRY, Master.POSTCODE, Master.SALUTATION, Master.MOBILE, Master.TELEPHONE, Master.WORKPHONE, Master.FAX, Master.RATE, Master.CLASS, Master.ADDREF, Master.DATEJOIN, Master.WEB, Master.Field26
FROM Master
WHERE (((Master.EMAIL) In (SELECT [EMAIL] FROM [Master] As Tmp GROUP BY [EMAIL] HAVING Count(*)>1 )))
ORDER BY Master.EMAIL;
Another thing is, once i have the result... which query would i use to actually delete the duplicate data??
Cheers, and advance thanks!! :cool:
I have data, in which want to keep Job Id as primary key. Now, there are some Invoices as well as Invoice reversals with the same amount against those invoices.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a table in my Database that uses the feilds Location and partnum. I use a barcode scanner to generate each of these fields. The problem I am having is that when our part number is scanned it contains data such as "des--. 123456 --aa". I have been doing a find/replace on this data to remove the "des--." and "--aa" but I was wondering if access has a function to do this for me so that I can get a macro to check automatically for this type of problem. Any ideas?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been testing my scripts so my database has a whole bunch of bogus records in it. I'd like to simply delete everything out of my orders table (there aren't any legit ones in there yet) so that I can start over when I go live and not have all that crap in there.
Is there an easy way to do this without re-creating a blank database and copying/pasting table only over?
I need to delete duplicate rows (or create new table without them) but the duplicate is not the entire row of data.

In this example I am only interested in the first and last rows, since the ones in between have the same data in the last few columns. They are not true duplicates since the time stamp for each is different.
Currently thinking I need to compare each and every row to the prior row in VBA and delete if criteria match.
A database at our Food Pantry needs to be updated yearly on Jan. 1 by eliminating all data in two fields: "ID Check Date" (date field) and "Signature Obtained" (check box). There are hundreds of records. Is there a way to remove the data from the two fields (columns) while retaining the fields (and their formats) but with no data? We use Access 2010.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy goal is to get a huge amount of data paired down so that I can work with it in Excel.
I started with a 14 million record text file provided by a government agency. I used a text editor to break that into 7 2-million record files to fit into Access.
I figure I can filter each of those files down to 500,000 or so records, so that I can manipulate them in Excel. The problem is, when I open a text file in Access, Access insists on linking it, and then I can't delete data from a linked file.
I am currently unable to delete any data from my table. When I highlight a row and right-click, the option to delete the record is grayed-out. I have deleted and recreated the table and relationships, saved the database as a new file, and compacted and repaired, but I am still unable to delete anything.

I have created a form where data is entered. I wish to place a command button on the form and when it is pressed, it deletes data in specified textboxes. The texboxes are: LAST_NAME, FIRST_NAME, MIDDLE_NAME.
I assume this is done using vb, but I am clueless.
Any help is most welcome.

Hi,
I want to create a delete query that uses information stored in an external excel file. This file is constantly being updated so it isn't ideal to keep loading it into the access database. I need to use the excel file to remove any records appearing in my access table that are matching with the excel file. Make sense? Can anyone out there help - it this at all possible? Thanks,
How to Delete data from only one table from a Join? OR How to set the ADO recordset unique table property?
On Access 2010 module I have a class that manipulate data (save, read, edit and delete) from this statement:
Code:
Private Const strNomeTblFonte as string = _
"SELECT ER.*, ET.intTipoExame, ET.txtNomeExame, FROM tblExamesTipos
ET INNER JOIN tblClientesExamesRequisitados ER ON ET.idExamesTipos = ER.intQualExame;"
Private Sub Class_Initialize()
Set mCol = New Collection
[Code] ....
Problem: I need to delete data from only one table (tblClientesExamesRequisitados) of a inner join, but only delete from the "wrong" (tblExamesTipos) table.
After going to msdn on title: Unique Table, Unique Schema, Unique Catalog Properties-Dynamic (ADO) I attempted to address the problem with this line in the Class_Initialize():
Code:
Recordset.Properties("Unique Table").Value = "tblClientesExamesRequisitados"
But only generates this: Run Time Error 3265 - Item not found in this collection...
I know, if I open another Rst and use a Distinctrow, or open only one table, as in "DELETE * FROM tblClientesExamesRequisitados WHERE intQualExame = " & miQualExame & ";" it will resolve, but, why "Unique Table" isn't functioning?
I have a Query which can pull data to a form, then the form will evaluate the ID, after saving/recording, I need to delete the evaluated data on the query.
My problem is how can i delete it? There is Table1 for outputing the evaluation, Query1 where the evaluation can get the Data.
Process Flow:
> Form pulls data from Query1
> Evaluation was saved on Table1
> Evaluated ID should also be removed on Query1
I have a database with a main database that has 2 related tables...my problem is that i only keep data that i really need, in the main table. My problem is that i sometimes need to go back to old data that i erased. so i have to keep old data too. but i can;t on the same database. so i need to move the old records from the main table and all the related data to another database that will keep all the erased data, so if i need to find something i will search on the "deleted records" database.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a DB setup with users and their information. How can I remove a user from the DB without losing their data?
Basically I just don't want the users seeing this (deleted) user in the list on a form. So maybe "hide" is a better term than delete.
Details:
Access 2010
Table "Employees" - holds username and some other user specific info.
Table "Hours" - holds username related data(how many hours they worked on specific dates).
Form "WorkHourEntry" - The form I use to allow the users to login and enter their data(hours).
Then have a combo box that displays all the users in a list. This list/combo box is where I want to hide users from when the employee leaves the company or dept. and is no longer needed. But, we need to keep their history/data.
Query4 is the result from left joining of Query3 and Query1 and I would like to delete some of the null data in query 4

I get the warning of "Could not delete from specific table"
I'm an amateur (is there such a thing as having databases as a hobby?) with little training. I volunteered to organize a growing volunteer group I'm a part of by making a simple database for the volunteer office staff. One of the things I want it to do is make name tags for our weekly meetings. I don't want to print one for each name on our list because the list is over 400 names long with only around 35 regular attendees. I made two tables--one is the MakeNameTag table that lists regular attendees (it is a lookup field on the Names table).
The other is the Absences table. It has two fields; DateOfAbsence and MakeNameTag. If someone misses a meeting (does not pick up their name tag), their name is added to the Absences table. A query then filters the table for dates in the last 28 days. If their names shows up four times in the last 28 days I want for their name to be deleted from the MakeNameTag table. How to do that automatically? Our office volunteers have minimal PC skills, so the solution needs to be very user-friendly.
Access 2010. Can vba code be written to delete and insert data from a table in one routine.
Something like Delete * Insert into select from where order by....
I tried it with a query but have to write two.
I'm using Access 2010. I have a form that has a combo box. The combo box lists all employee names and one has to be selected. I've been adding employees over time as new employees come. This DB is 3 years old so there are many employees showing in the combo box selection that are no longer here. I'd like to only have the current employees visible but I do not want to just delete them from the Table because then the historic data wouldn't be complete. How can I only show the current employees in the combo box and maintain the data in the table?

View 13 Replies View RelatedI have a Table1 served by Form1..It is a list of: UnqID, process, quantity, totaltime(in seconds).I want to click on a record to bring up a filtered Form2 with the chosen record on it.What I want to be able to do is to now split the quantity (and the time) and put these new records back into Table1 and delete the original record
EG
ID1,10,write a report,2400
I want to delete this and replace it with two (or three/four etc) replacements, but still adding up to 10 quantity and 2400 seconds so that the new data could be:
ID2,5,write a report,1200
ID3,5,write a report,1200
My initial thoughts are to create a holding table to:Append filtered data on Form2 to a holding Table1hld (i don't know how to do this) delete data in Table1.then enter the new quantities into a holding Table2 (that I will input myself) and then append (through a series of queries back into Table1).The first problem is how to append (and subsequently delete) the filtered record from Form2 to Table1hld.
I have a table called "EquipmentRequired" which is populated by 4 append queries,
5000BaseReq, 6000BaseReq, 6000IFBBReq, EquipmentReq which get some of their information by counting fields in another table but all have the same field names.
The queries contain all data that is initially used to append new records to the table and this works fine.Unless some information changes or a record is added then I would like to add a button to a form and call it "update equipment" behind which would run a vba code firstly to delete all the records in "EquipmentRequired" table then run the 4 queries without the warnings and re-populate the table.

I have a query based on two tables, joined on one field (this field is the primary key in Table A. Table B doesn't have a primary key). When working inside this query, it gives me the option to delete records. However, when I try, the row disappears from the query but then if I save and close and either re-open table A or the resulting query, that record is back. It doesn't actually delete. If I go to table A directly and delete it, it's gone for good.
How can I make it so that when I delete the record inside the query it actually deletes? And if that's not an option, can I make it so that it doesn't seem like I can delete records inside the query so that people don't make the mistake?
