Can I Get An Update Query To Not Add Records To Tables Only Update?

Jun 28, 2005

Hi Guys,

I have got a query that updates details from one table2 to table1, "Reference" is the primary key and this is what the query uses to determine which need updating.

It all works great but if table2 contains a record in "Reference" that is not in table1 i just want it to ignore it, currently it just seeems to add them.

Any suggestion guys & gals?

Many thanks
Tim

Using Criteria To Update Fields In A Update Query

Nov 29, 2006

Ok, i have a question about update queries.I have two tables (I'll call table 1 and table two for simplicity) and an update query. I want to get some data from table one to table two (via an update query). But in table two there is a field that isn't in table one but i want to add a value to that field via the query.My question is, can i manually put into the query what data to add to a field instead of/aswell as using data from other tables.I hope you understood my questions.Cheers

Update Query Won't Update In Access 97

Feb 10, 2008

I am trying to remove random characters from a field. The field [assycode] contains a string similar to say, FGEJBF1 or ABFGYRUKC I want to remove any occurrence of "F1" normally at the end of the string but not always at the end. I used: Like "*f1*" to find the correct records, that worked fine, I then used [Assycode]-" f1" in the update to box, It wants to update 146 records I click ok then it says It couldn't due to a type conversion error. Just messing around I tried adding "F1" to these records using [Assycode]+" f1" and it worked fine. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance

Using Update Query To Update Values

Oct 3, 2007

I have a database where two tables contain information that I need to update based on the 4 right most digits of a field. There are only 11 values that will need to be updated out of a large list of values. I'm not quite sure how to set up the update query so that I can do this.

Update Query Will Not Update!

Aug 16, 2005

I have two tables, each has a "status" for a project. In the left table there is only one instance of each set, but in the right hand table, each set may be used more than once by different Projects.

I need the Status field of the left table to be set to "Assigned" if ANY of the sets assigned to projects in the right hand table are "Assinged"

Here is the update query I have setup but when it runs, it updates "0" rows.

8 is the id for the status "Assigned" in the SetStatus table
2 is the id for the status "Assigned" in the Status table.

Queries :: Update A Query Based On Results From Another Query Using Count Function

Apr 2, 2013

I run a physical therapy office and patients come in for treatment either 3, 4 or 5 times per week. My database is used to track these frequencies (among other things).

I have 3 queries which count how many patients come in 5, 4 and 3 times/week.

In my main table I have fields called "how many 5's", "how many 4's" and "how many 3's".

I have tried to design an update query which will update those fileds in my main table to reflect the counts in the 3 queries mentioned above.

(I'm not using SQL view, I'm using the query design view)

In the "update to:" row, I use the Build function and locate the count I'm looking for.

Problem: when I run the query I get the error: Operation must use an updateable query.

Forms :: Update Form / Query Without Updating Underlying Tables To Query

Jul 23, 2015

I have a form which will be used as the basis to print a label.

It is bound to a query and when I open the form I pass over a 'where' condition to return 1 record. I then use the query to produce a report/label.

What I want to do is to update the form/query without updating the underlying tables to the query.

Update Query - Operation Must Use An Updateable Query

Jan 8, 2007

Hi,

As an Access novice I am trying to do a simple update of a table but keep getting an annoying error:

I have 2 tables - Products and OrderDetails

Products
ProductID
Description
StockQuantity

OrderDetails
OrderID
ProductID
Quantity

Basically I want to update the Products.StockQuantity column to subtract the sum of all orders in the OrderDetails table.

So if Product A started with a StockQuantity of 5, and there are 3 Order_Details record, each with a quantity of 2, the query should update the Products.StockQuantity record to -1.

I have tried a few permutations such as:

UPDATE PRODUCTS
set PRODUCTS.StockQuantity = PRODUCTS.StockQuantity - (
SELECT SUM(OrderDetails.Quantity)
FROM ORDERDETAILS
WHERE ORDERDETAILS.ProductID = PRODUCTS.ProductID);

but I seem to keep getting the following error:
"Operation must use an updateable query"

Help - I'm tearing my hair out here!!

Thanks,

Keith

Added A Table To My Query, Now My Query Will Not Let Me Update It.

May 2, 2007

Okay I have two tables in a query.tblMain and tblStatestblStates has a control number and a state name.tblMain has the same control number as well as a bunch of customer info.The query is simply tblMain.* and then the state name from tblStates.It pulls the information correctly when I link the control number. However, I cannot update the information.If it just has the tblMain table in the query then I can update everything. As soon as I add the tblStates I can't update anything, even if I don't link the two together. Can someone help me figure out what is going on?The reason I have to have a seperate table is that this is for pulling a contracted state which can be different than the customers state, and the only way it is listed in our system is by number so it has to use this number as a reference and then pull up the state name.

Is it possible to run an update query which is part of another database?

I have an update query that I would like to run but it's in a different database than the current one. I know I can import queries etc but I just need to run it as it updates tables in that database.

I don't think I'm being clear but if anyone can help me I'd appreciate it

Update Query

Jun 15, 2005

Hi,
I have an update query which when run will update a stock field. The problem I'm having is only one record is getting updated. Here's my code:
Private Sub cmdReceive_Click()
If Me.PORec.Value = False Then
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.OpenQuery "qryUpdateStockRec", acViewNormal, acEdit
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
Me.PORec.Value = True
Else
MsgBox "This purchase order has already been received. If you need to adjust stock please do so by going to Database Maintenance."

End If

End Sub


The update query is looking at the PartID in a subform. There are 3 records in this subform and only the first record gets updated.
Thanks

Update Query

Nov 4, 2005

Hello everyone,

This ones has me really confused, I hope I explain it ok...

I have a form which is filtered by numerous combo boxes. A 'Compare' field (yes/no) allows the user to add the data to a query that is used as the RecordSource for a comparison report.

On the form is a 'Select All' button which runs an update query to set the 'Compare' field to true for every field that matches the criteria in the combo boxes (and where Compare = False).

This has worked brilliantly until the most recent field that I've added. I created a seperate query which counts the records in another table (linked by the main table's primary key; 1:M). The results are included in the main query so that I can filter the results by that.

This Counting field has been added as a criteria of the update query because this is necessary for 'Select All' to select the values in the current view/filter. When I click 'Select All' however the message reads "Operation must use an updateable query". :confused:

I guess it's a refential integrity problem or something (the PK fields are joined only by a general/standard relationship - have changed this in query view with no success). Searching this error message on the web brings up stuff about servers and the like and I'm only developing this db locally.

I've tried writing an SQL subquery with no success and think it would result in the same error anyway

Any suggestions as to the cause/solution of the problem?

Thanks a lot,

UPDATE Query -

Nov 14, 2005

Backend: SQL Server
Front End: MS Access

Just a small problem with a stored procedure im trying to create:

UPDATE tblOrders
SET active = 1
WHERE (invNumber = 'Forms!frmMainsub1!oID')

The above I believe is correct for updating all records to active with an invoice number of:

'Forms!frmMainsub1!oID'

However, after I try to save it I get the following error:

The paramenter is incorrect

Not very descriptive and after searching google and these forums I have still yet to find a solution. Help appreciated.

Update Query

Dec 9, 2005

Hi,
I have a table with 12 columns (table_a), I want to update the records in table_a with 12 records that are returned from a query on table_b, so that a record that matches a specific criteria from the qrytable_b goes into column 1 on table_a, another record that matches certain criteria from qrytable_b goes into column2, etc etc.
There will always be 12 records going into the 12 columns but the values change every month.

Is there a way to do this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
table_a
LargeDirect Number
LargeMetro Number
LargeCountry Number
SmallDirect Number
etc for a total 12 columns with different name


Data returned in the query is in the following format:

qryTable_b
Column1 Column2
47 Large Direct
85 Small Direct
75 Residue

It is the data in column 1 I want to move in to table_a so I only have 1 record in table_a containing all the totals in table_b.

Thanks

I'm trying to create what I believe should be a simple update query, but I'm having some difficulties. What I'm trying to do is copy a value from one row in a table to another row in the same table. Here's an example of the syntax that I used...

UPDATE Table1 SET Field1 = (SELECT Field1 FROM Table1 WHERE Field2 = 1) WHERE Field2 = 2

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? Thanks.

Update Query

Dec 29, 2005

I have three columns TU, EFX, XPN a fourth column FICO which is based on the values in TU, EX and XPN.
I need to update the FICO column so that it is either
MEDIAN of TU, EFX, XPN or
Minimum of TU, EFX
Minimum of TU,XPN,
Minimum of XPN, EFX

I expected the SQL statement to be something like

UPDATE Table
SET FICO =MED(TU, EFX,XPN)

UPDATE Table
SET FICO =MIN(TU, EFX)

UPDATE Table
SET FICO =MIN(TU, XPN)

UPDATE Table
SET FICO =MIN(XPN, EFX)

Unfortunatelly,these wont work. I'm using Access 97

Any clues

Update Query Help

Jan 18, 2006

I have a table named 'Main' on a laptop. I have the same database on our server, meaning that database has the same table named 'Main'. Users will use a laptop and enter data in it over night and I want the user to then upload the data to the database on the server.

In this 'Main' table is a field called 'uploaded' that is a yes/no field. If that record has been uploaded to the server it is marked yes. I was using an append query that would append all of the records where the 'uploaded' field were "no" to the table located on the server. This works fine.

Now I want to change it so that if a user modifies a record that has been uploaded the field 'uploaded' would be changed to "no" (which I can do) and then update the record in the table on the server without creating duplicate records.

There is no single unique key in the table. The reason is becuase we have mulitple laptops upload to the same master database on the server. In order to identify duplicate records I match 'datecreated', 'timecreated', and 'manager' fields.

How do I automate this?

Update Query, Perhaps?

Jan 19, 2006

I am an Access novice and I cannot figure out how do the following:
Table_1 contains email addresses. Table_2 contains email addresses and zip codes. I would like to add the zip codes from Table_2 to any matching email addresses in Table_1. It is imperative that no new email addresses be added to Table_1, just zip codes.

I'm not really sure what I need to do. Do I need to run an update query, and if so, what is the best way to do that?

Thanks in advance for any help!
