I get a very strange error when trying to create a find duplicates query. When i try to select a table that has duplicate values it brings up a message box and it says that i must pick a table that has at least one field that's not a memo or OLE data type. I look at my table and I have niether of those in it...pretty much just text and number fields. Does anyone know what's going on?
View Replieshi all, im trying to make a query so that when someone updates a field in a form it searches a table (Companytable) which is a list of company names. If it exists i want it to then display a msgbox " already exists" sort of thing! trying to do this in the criteria field on the query. anyone have any ideas or useful resources, ive not done this for a while and cant remember much of IF THEN sort of stuff. mainly not sure if im barking up the right tree, i can search dependent on a set value but not sure how to do it dependant on whats been typed into a form..any pointers would be appreciated! thanks! James
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi,
Our Contacts database has around 4000 individual contacts (and growing), which have been pulled together from four or five seperately maintained databases. As such there are bound to be duplicate records.
What would be a good way of querying the database to find duplicate entries (i.e. entries where the first name and surname are the same)? Short of putting everything in alphabetical order and manually scanning them to see if there are two names the same next to each other I don't know of a way to do it. Also, the manually-scanning method won't work if the names are spelled a little differently (Davies and Davis).
Any ideas?
I know I have duplicate records in a table and therefore I used the "Find duplicates Query Wizard" to identify the duplicates.
I am positive - there are duplicates and the query does not perform the way it should be.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Hi this is my first post... so hi all :)
ok what i have is a table with contact details 900k plus
there are about 90k of which are duplicates.
this is the basic feilds that are important in this case.
Id, data_source, data_recived, data_code,
what i want is to have a table with unique records (no dups in data_code)
this table will look like this...
Id, data_code, Num_dups, dup1_source, dup1_date, daysbtw_Dup1_dup2, dup2_source, dup2_date, daysbtw_Dup2_dup3 ,dup3_source, dup3_date, daysbtw_Dup3_dup4 ,dup4_source, dup4_date,
I know there is no more than 4 dups of each record.
what i want from this is a table that will give me a record of how many dups for each record then all the dates that they were added and the date between each record entry.
if anyone can help it would be great .
thanks in advance.
I have a find duplicates query with the following SQL:
Code:
SELECT tblData.Vendor, tblData.[Loccurramount EUE], tblData.Last4, tblData.ID, tblData.Line, tblData.CoCd, tblData.[Document record number], tblData.PurchDoc, tblData.Reference, tblData.Curr, tblData.[Entry dte], tblData.Status, tblData.Version, tblData.Outcome
FROM tblData
WHERE (((tblData.Vendor) In (SELECT [Vendor] FROM [tblData] As Tmp GROUP BY [Vendor],[Loccurramount EUE],[Last4] HAVING Count(*)>1 And [Loccurramount EUE] = [tblData].[Loccurramount EUE] And [Last4] = [tblData].[Last4])))
ORDER BY tblData.Vendor, tblData.[Loccurramount EUE], tblData.Last4;
This works fine however I want to add another clause to the WHERE and I'm not sure how. At the moment the query highlights duplicates where the Vendor, Loccurramount EUE and Last4 match. I want to further restrict it so that it only finds duplicates where the Vendor, Loccurramount EUE and Last4 match BUT the number shown in version Does Not Match
So if two records have the same details for Vendor, Loccurramount EUE and Last4 and also have the same Version number then they don't show in the result.
Employees submit information into a form which translates the information into a table. The table has been in use for years. By accident some employees were writing to an archived table while others were writing the the active table. This resulted in a field called "WorkID" being duplicated across the two tables.
Bottom line I am trying to write a query finding duplicates across tables but basing the duplicate only on certain columns.
I used the wizard to create a find duplicates query. I know for a fact that 15 records are duplicates. I'm getting over 300 records. When I dumped the data into Excel and did a pivot table to count the number of records by account number only 15 had a total count of 2. All others only had 1. Why are the ones with no duplicates showing? I just want to see the 15.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHey, all! Thanks for helping, here is my situation.
I have a table with about 70,000 records that have duplicate Address field values. The rest of the field values for those records are different. When I do a find duplicate querry I get the result that 17,000 records have the same address. However, when I do the append qurrey as instructed here: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=209183 I get a total of only 600 records in the new table. I have tried deleting all of the indexes for both the new and old table, with no luck.
I'm using Access 2000 on XP Pro.
If anyone could help with this I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks

Hi!
I used the find duplicates from the query wizard and it is not finding all of the duplicates. How can I fix this?
I have only a few fields
Last name, First name, address, parent name, email.
But when I ran the query the first time it found some.
Then I went into the table and I saw several that it did not find.
I don't get it.
say i have a table called tblEmployees and i want to find people who have the same name but different employee numbers, can that be done with a query or will that require VBA code? i won't know the names ahead of time, i don't know who has the same name.
for example, columns:
first_name, last_name, employee_num, phone_num, office_num
and i want it to return James Smith with employee_num = 1234 and James Smith with employee_num = 9876.
Hi everyone,
I have a query as below:
Row1 Row2 Row3 Row 4 Row 5
1, 2, 2 , 0 , 15
1 , 2 , 2 , 1 , 7
0 , 1 , 1 , 4 , 2
1 , 2 , 2 , 0 , 29
I need to pull our records which have the same entries in Rows 1-4 and then add up Row 5. For example The above query would make three more queries i.e
One
1,2,2,0, 44
Two
1,2,2,1, 7
Three
0,1,1,4, 2
I would then wish to recombine them into one table
Final
1,2,2,0, 44
1,2,2,1 , 7
0,1,1,4, 2.
Is this possible and how would I go about doing this!?
Been scratching my head for awhile now!
thanks eveyrone!

Greetings all,
I have the code below which is giving me grief as I have copied it from a previous usage and it worked fine. I have tried it in a beforeupdate and now as a seperate button on the form and it gives me the same error message; I have tried to put a save command in to save the record without any luck
the code is
If DCount("[Batch]", "tbl_Data_Wine_Batch", "[Batch]=" & Me.Batch) > 0 Then
Cancel = True
End If
The error message is
Run time error 2001
you cancelled the previous operation.
The problem comes up in the dcount expression.
Any help would be great as it is an important part of the project and we can move on once we have overcome this

Hello all,
I am sure this must be simple, but I can't get my head around it.
I have a query that looks at client bank account numbers, and finds duplicates.
There are a LOT of duplicates, because we have several accounts for the same person.
What I would like to do is find all the records where the account number and sort code match, but where the account NAME is different.
I am trying to find any records where the same account number is being used on more than one account.
All the fields are in a single table.
This is what I have so far, which just finds duplicate sort codes and account numbers;
SELECT CPL_ACCOUNT.ACCOUNT_NUMBER, CPL_ACCOUNT.SORT_CODE, CPL_ACCOUNT.BANK_NAME
FROM CPL_ACCOUNT
WHERE (((CPL_ACCOUNT.ACCOUNT_NUMBER) In (SELECT [ACCOUNT_NUMBER] FROM [CPL_ACCOUNT] As Tmp GROUP BY [ACCOUNT_NUMBER],[SORT_CODE] HAVING Count(*)>1 And [SORT_CODE] = [CPL_ACCOUNT].[SORT_CODE])))
ORDER BY CPL_ACCOUNT.ACCOUNT_NUMBER, CPL_ACCOUNT.SORT_CODE;
Thank you!
Access 2007 - I am using the oft used, frequently posted and shard code from srfreemen - modified as below. now I know I sort of broke commandment # 8 - Thou shalt not copy and paste other people's code without at least attempting to understand what it does. but I honestly did try to understand what it does.
I keep getting runtime error 3078 - cannot find the input table or query 'tblEnrolment_Committee_Master'. It is the name of a table in my database but I am missing the very basic element of how to get my form (which draws all of it's fields from that table) to look it up or identify it.
Likely because of a silly basic error. Normally - I wouldn't attempt such things but my work needs me to ensure no duplicates exist in this case AND it's already a primary key - but I don't want to wait until the whole form is filled out for it to identify the duplicate!
How to get the tblEnrolment_Committee_Master to be included in the search and erase this error ...
Private Sub Entitlement_File_Number_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim SID As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
Dim rsc As DAO.Recordset
Set rsc = Me.RecordsetClone

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?
I have a Find Duplicates query that I created with the Query Wizard.
IF I run the query and find duplicates, I can close the resultant datasheet with the close button.
IF I run the query and find duplicates and delete them, I can close the resultant datasheet with the close button.
IF I run the query after I have found and deleted duplicates and closed the window, I can close the resultant datasheet (with no records) with the close button.
BUT IF I run the query when there are no duplicates, it opens the datasheet with no records, but you can't close it with the close button. You have to exit the database completely.
I don't know SQL or VB. Have to do this in Access.
I thought about creating an If statement in a macro, but am not sure of the syntax, but this would be the basic statement I would make:
IF Find Duplicates query returns no records,
THEN Cancel Event.
End IF
I have a report with 2 access tables (1 Master table and another a daily feed table)
The Master table keeps a log of all incoming records. (once append it to this table, should not show in future reporting)
The Daily feed information within the last 48 hours. (uploaded from an excel report into access temporary table)
When the daily feed table gets completed, I append the records and updated them into the Master to avoid duplication.
When I upload the daily feed table and I match it against the Master table to find duplicates, how can I delete the duplicates from the Daily Feed table?
This is my code to find duplicates:
SELECT CMPreport.ID, CMPreport.MbrName, tblMaster.ID
FROM CMPreport LEFT JOIN tblMaster ON CMPreport.ID = tblMaster.ID
WHERE (((tblMaster.ID) Is Not Null));
Hi,
just finding my way in Access 97 with no real support. I have made a query that creates duplicate records when I only need to see one for a certain criteria (lets say criteria X). This is due to the data feed involved in making the query where criteria X is found in numerous records.
What I want to display is only one record per entry containing an exact match for criteria X.
Finding it hard to articulate this but I would need something that defines:
If criteria X is the same, just display one record.
Hope this is somehow clear as I am struggling a bit. Would be gratefull of some help.
Thanks
On trying to import an Excel 2007 file into Access 2007 I get the following:
1) Choose "External Data," Import, Exce
2) Select small file in MS Excel 2007 format.
3) Click on Import the source data into a new table ...
4) Choose OK
Immediately get "Microsoft Office Access has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution to the problem..." This message never resolves, so I have to click 'Cancel'.
Then I get "Microsoft Office Access is trying to recover your information..." I have to click "Cancel" here as well and then kill MS Access in Task Manager.
Event Viewer gives following message, which is of no help:
"ID: 2, Application Name: Microsoft Office Access, Application Version: 12.0.6211.1000, Microsoft Office Version: 12.0.6215.1000. This session lasted 710 seconds with 120 seconds of active time. This session ended with a crash."
Trying to import a small Excel 2003 file leads the same result. The same happens with a CSV file.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Office 2007 as well. I am using Vista Ultimate.
I have turned off DEP.
How can I get MS Access 2007 to import Excel?
Thanks

tblDues
I want to add Year = 2008 and StateDues ='120' for all contact records who have a record in table Dues for 2007
SELECT tblDues.ContactID, tblDues.DuesYear, tblDues.StateDues
FROM tblContacts LEFT JOIN tblDues ON tblContacts.ContactID = tblDues.ContactID
WHERE (((tblDues.DuesYear)=2007));
I have tried a subquery but it won't run in Access:
Update tblDues
SET tblDues.Year = '2008', tblDues.Amount = '120.00'
where tblDues.ContactID in
(select tblContacts.ContactID from tblContacts, tblDues
WHERE tblContacts.ContactID = tblDues.ContactID
AND tblDues.DuesYear = '2007');
This returns "This operation must use an updateable query"
I have a youth soccer database and I have fields for the Father, Mother, Phone, Address and Parental Support (coaching, concessions, Organizational, etc).

What I want to do is run a report that generates a list of people that have indicated they are willing to help by checking any particular box, coach, asst, fund raising, etc what is the best way to handle this ??
View 3 Replies View RelatedAny ideas why a particular query would run very slow in access 2007 when it runs fine on 2003. This is running on a terminal services environment and the database connects to a ms sql 2000 server. I will try it outside terminal services when I can but I can't understand the problem. Im not talking about slightly slower its something like a factor of 100 or 200 slower (I had to limit the dataset just to get a return within a day).
The database was an access 2000 mdb for compatibility across computers but I have tried converting it with out any luck.
I have summarized a table(a) of 589 records into a table of 119 records(b).
I am trying to calculate a factor in (a) as a percentage of the total in (b) for each record in (a).
(a) can have multiple records for each corresponding, summarized record in (b).
I do this by dividing each of the many records in (a) by a summarized record in (b) with a common field in both.
Basically, I am dividing
Round(([(a)]![netchrg] / [(b)]![netchrg]),8)
All I get is 0.00000000
I have checked my join relationships.
I started by checking the 2nd bubble. It did not work. Eventually, I have tried selecting all three bubbles on the joins and that does not get me any different values.
I would have thought that the 2nd bubble would have given me all of (a) and match it to the the records is (b) for the calculation.
I have even tried eliminating the joins completely but I still get a 0 value.
I have verified that both tables have values in the netchrg field.
Suggestions?
Thanks.
I installed Office Enterprise 2007. Then I installed DEveloper Exrtensions, then Access Runtime 2007. All appear to have installed OK - they appear in Program and Features.
Instructions on runtime packaging tell me that a Developer option should appear in the resulting drop-down when I click the Office button (top-left round thing) when I have a d/b open in Access. It's not there! I have un-installed and re-installed the extensions and the runtime - still nothing!
Help!
I do have Runtime 2002 (XP) on the same PC, is that relevant?
I have an expression that sets an AI Buy It Now value that is 125% of AI Value and rounds it, which follows AI Buy It Now: Round(([AI Value]*1.25)/10)*10
I need to add to this expression that I only want this calculation applied if AI Values are greater than 999. But I can't figure out how to add this stipulation to the above expression. I have tried IIF but it is not working.
