I have created a table of Some machines specifications.
Item Name Type location
1. Sieve156 Sieve 3rd floor
2. Rollermill1 Mill 1st floor
....
...
...
When inserting for example a new sieve machine I want database
add automatically this machine between items 1. and 2. and assign the item
number 3 to rollermill1. but this new record is added to the last row and its
item number will be 3 but it should be 2.
What shall I do for this problem? (in excel it is easily possible to add a row
between two rows.. is it also possible in access?)
hi, i want to convert some below mentioned format into msaccess tables.
the exact scenario is that i have some text files from old applicaiton (pascal based) which is no longer working due to hardware compatibility problem...
which has generated some text files under below mentioned format...
I am trying to get a form to insert info into a access database. I am using dreamweaver 2004, i created the form with 4 text fields and a submit button. Ive added a ODBC connection and dreamweaver can qurery my table.
I added an insert record server behaviour, and i figured dreamweaver does all the work for you but when i saved and uploaded the page to my test server it would not submit and redirect to my chosen page, it only refresh the form.
Has anyone out there done this before and can notice a step that im missing.
Do i need to setup a recordset? because ive tried that as well and no success
I am working on an electronic catalog for my company. I am populating the database and I'm trying to speed the process. This is what I want to do. This database deals with cars and trucks, I would like to design a form where I can enter:
1989-1995 Chevy Malibu, etc.
Once the form is full and I save the records it will create 7 individual records, one for each year.
I have a form that states how many entries a certain table can have related to that form.
For example:
Form1 - based directly on the table for diagnostic purposes Cust ID - text - primary key NumofEntries - number - integer
I want it to create X amount of records in form2 based upon the NumofEntries from form 1 based on table1
For example, I run form 1, and it asks for the custnum, I enter it, and then it asks for the number of entries allowed for the customer, and then I enter it. This number can be different each time. I want the 2nd form just to show that many fields for entry either by a running total (subtraction) in form view or by a for next loop to create X amount of records in the table.
Form1: CustNum = 1011 NumofEntries = 3
CustNum = 2022 NumofEntries = 4
CustNum = 3033 NumofEntries = 2
Table2 Custnum = 1011, entrynum =1, entry data Custnum = 1011, entrynum =2, entry data Custnum = 1011, entrynum =3, entry data Custnum = 2022, entrynum =1, entry data Custnum = 2022, entrynum =2, entry data Custnum = 2022, entrynum =3, entry data Custnum = 2022, entrynum =4, entry data Custnum = 3033, entrynum =1, entry data Custnum = 3033, entrynum =2, entry data
the key is to have the entrynum to start at 1 each time, the rest I can handle.... I am at a loss right now, as I am down to one brain cell, and it's misfiring.....
Granted, tomorrow, when I wake up, I will prolly have a solution, but as always, I value all of your input and design suggestions. Yes, I know already that it's a one to many relationship from table 1 to table 2, I just want some alternate ways to do this. Thanks in advance for any insight you wish to give.
I have 4 tables that contain a vehicle registration number field as their primary key and have one-to-one referential integrity applied.
I want to add a new registration to all 4 tables from one query. How?
I've tried many permutations with no success, such as putting the registration on a new table and trying to apply this to the 4 RI tables. I keep getting ref intergrity violations. Obviously I could disable the ref integrity rules, update the tables and then reapply the rules, but this is not possible if I am going to make the database available to a user group. A new registration needs to be added seamlessly. By not having ref integrity could leave the DB in an inconsistent state.
Help! If what I want is not directly possible, then any work-round would be appreciated.
I'm new to Access and I've run into a little problem. I've created a table with a primary key (autonumber) which will contain 1520 records. At present I only have data for the last 8 records. Ideally I would like to create 1512 blank records, with only the autonumber entered e.g. 0001, 0002, 0003 etc.
Unfortunately I cant add the data that I have got to 0001 - 0008 as it relates specifically to the primary ID.
I am reading through a table looking for duplicate values in the FullName text field. I want to store in a new table the duplicate records I find, storing just the MemberNumber and the FullName. When the VBA code runs and finds duplicates, the SQL statement to insert a new record into the Duplicates table asks for the value of LastMemberNumber and LastFullName when it already has the values and has displayed them in the message boxes! What am I doing wrong?
The code is:
Private Sub Command0_Click() Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim dbs As Database Dim LastMemberNumber As Integer Dim LastFullName As String
I've inherited an Access 2003 database, a rather complex one. The database has a login, with the credentials stored in a table which I can view (minus the pass, which is masked). Of course, for security reasons, I shouldn't be able to just add a record and create a new ID, in essence bypassing all security. As such, the table with the user records does not permit new records to be added. What steps need I take to add new records, the option being greyed out in the interface, no new record bar available at the bottom of the table.
In my VBA code, i am trying to move some table records from table1 to table2. Both table1 and table2 has exact structures.
In the INSERT statement for table2, what is the easy way to insert a record from table1? I am trying to avoid having to specify each field name in the INSERT statement. Because, i have 100 fields in table.
Is there a way to INSERT a particular record from table1 to table2 without having to specify field names in the INSERT statement like in below example?
I have a table which contains business details (name, address etc) and also a field for clients. I then have a table which contains client details. Is there anyway I can click a button on a form containing business details which brings up a form containing the clients which would allow me to click the clients I want to be inserted onto the clients field on the business details table?
I have a lot data to append to ODBC linked table in MS Access. I want to know that which way is faster to append the records.
if I append the data into ODBC linked table, 1) create the one query (append) to insert the records into ODBC linked table 2) use the VBA code (DAO/ADO) to insert the records into ODBC linked table
The two records that I get the proplem on are not included here, but somehow they have been updated. I traced the access code, but I could see no reference to them that they were used for the update in either the form or any modules called.
Somehow up to a few weeks ago those two columns were updated.
Tracing the code and using the immediate window the user_name variable stores the login name corectly.
Hi folks, I have an Append Query (Insert Into...) that I use to insert values into a table from a form. But to have that tie into other tables I need to gather the Student_ID (primary key) that is autogenerated when the record is inserted. How do I do this? I want to store it in a public variable. I've done quite a bit of searching but nothing of any value has turned up. Please help.
What I have on button press: DoCmd.OpenQuery "Register Camp Students"
After that I need something to gather that newly inserted Student_ID and store it for later use. Please help!
Hi guys. I hope someone replies to this thread....I am struggling with this one.
I am developing an Asset Management System for our IT Equipment. We wish to record the software installed on each PC.
The Manufacturer and Software names are stored in separate tables. The AssetMain table has a one-to-many relationship with the AssetSoftware table.
I originally had a (continuous) subform for software on my main Asset form. However, as I am using cascading combo boxes (to filter the Software Combo by the Manufacturer) it mean that changing the combo on each record would appear to change the existing values too (common problem).
I would therefore like four unbound controls. 1) Combo Box - Manufacturer 2) Combo Box - Software Package 3) Combo Box - Package Edition 3) Text Box - Serial Number
When the user selects/enters these values and clicks an "Add" button I would like add a new record into the AssetSoftware table where Asset_ID = Parent.Asset_ID.
I will then have a list box that queries the software for that particular Asset. This will requery on each CmdAdd_Click.
Attached is a screenshot of what I would like to achieve (if I click Add it should add Microsoft Office XP to the list box below)
Would really appreciate some help (do not normally get many replies to my threads :( )
So, I have a table with an autonumbered key field. I started the autonumbering at 1000 thinking that I may want to manually backfill some old records at a later date. Now I’m stuck.
Is there a way I can insert a new record into this table, filling this field as “950” for example?
Creating a flight management database to create flightplans that determine local/zulu times and dates of each leg of the flight. Arrival and departure times are calculated by durations entered for flight time to get arrival information, and time on the ground to determine departure time/date.
My question, is there a way for the user to insert a record (leg) into an exisitng flight plan that they are editing? The legs are currently in order by an autonumber so inserting a new record would not necessarly put the legs in the correct order of the flight.
Currently, the user only needs to enter the airport identifier and air/ground time along with initial departure time/date. No dates are needed for each leg.
after I insert a new record using INSERT INTO and then use DMax() (in a private sub) to look up the new record. About half the time DMax() pulls the new record based on the primary key field (AutoNumber) just fine. However, half the time it pulls the max record prior to the new record being inserted. I.e. record 1001 was added and DMax() pulls record 1000. I'm assuming that my issue has something to do with the timing of when the record is writen/saved in the table. Is there a simple method of refreshing the table that I can use prior to using DMax()?
I have two tables tbl1 and tbl2 tbl1 has 10 fields named tbl1.id tbl1.field2 tbl1.field3 tbl1.field4 tbl2 has only three fields tbl2.field1 tbl2.field2 tbl2.field3
Now i need to insert values into tbl1:: tbl1.field1 tbl1.field2 tbl1.field3 from tbl2.field1 tbl2.field2 tbl2.field3 respectively, but i need to make sure if tbl2.field3 value is already there in tbl1.field3 then we don't need import those records. so we only need records if value of tbl2.field3 is not already there in tbl1.field3.
Please let me know What statement do I need to write so i can import all data from tbl2 into tbl1 by comparing as above.
I have a form with a subform. I want to use the main form to insert new data and the subform to show all records that are there. One could say that the after inserting a new record with the fields in the form and save it, it should appear in the subform datasheet view.
I have two tables, one is GENETIC and the other one is BoneSampleDNAprofile. Both tables have the field CY-Code. I want to create small form with 2 text box fields and one command button on the form to be able to insert CY-Code from the table GENETIC to designated DNA_LAB_Code in the table BoneSampleDNAprofile.
In that small form I would type DNA_LAB_Code and CY-Code where after pressing command button will insert CY-Code for the designated DNA_LAB_Code. This is continuous process after our Laboratory receive results from DNA laboratory. I have attached two .png files which are example of two tables.
