I have a text file that I will be importing into a new table once a week (every week) that I will need to add about 30 more columns to before I export it to a new text file in preparation for importing it into another Access application.
Is there a way through a query to add the columns without having to open the table and manually add them each week?
Thanks,
David
Ok, I'd like to appologise first as I wasn't sure that this question/problem would fit appropriately into the "Forms" forum, and also for the length of this post.
In the database I'm currently building, I have a form that is used for adding new product purchases for a given customer. So far, after much googleing and and head racking, I've managed to get everything in working order, save this one problem I can't solve.
The form uses the following SQL to populate its field list;
SELECT Products.*, [Expense Codes].[Montant de Paquet] FROM [Expense Codes] INNER JOIN Products ON [Expense Codes].[Expense Code ID]=Products.[Expense Code ID] WHERE (((Products.[Commencez Date])>=Date()));
Sorry for the french text, this is for use by a French company
On the form I have a combo box that lists the product packages available (combo 1 for reference), Prod 1, Prod 2 and Prod 3. This is a field in the products table which is linked to a seperate table called Expence Codes. This table holds my master list of product codes, and their off the shelf price in a field called 'price'.
By using the above SQL, I have the price field ("field 1" for reference) on my form auto update when ever the value combo 1 changes. This is working as I would like it to.
Now for the issue I'm having. I would like to take the value from field 1 to be copied to a field in my payments table, this is to facilitate a final billing value being correctly calculated and invoice being created. However, I'm at a loss as to how to acomplish this.
I have thought of using an update query to add this information to the payments table, as the relivent record will already be created, but Im not sure if this is the right way to go. So any ideas on what I'm doing wrong, could do better or need to do are more than welcome.
Thanks for reading this far and I await any replies :)
I have 3 peices of data that I am working with: Group number, plans and benefit elections. On my form I have fields for the group number and plan and 2 queries. When I enter a group number the first query displays a list of plan descriptions for that group. From there I can enter the plan description into the form's plan field and that runs the second query to give me a list of valid elections for that plan. This all works fine but I want to make the plan selection a little less tedious. What I would like is to be able to double click the query field housing the plan description and have it copied to the form's plan field. I could use the ID instead of the plan description but I work in a production environment and very key stroke counts so I would really like to have a simple double click process.
Is this even possible? If so how would I set that up? I tried using the double click on event macro builder but it does not seem to have this kind of option.
My form contains fields for group number and Plan. The same form houses 2 querys, one that pulls plans based on the group number and the other to pull elections based on the plan field (not the plan query). Would like to double click a plan within the plan query and have that description populated into the form's plan field.
I would like to create an after update event on Text Box[MMReleased], when updated it would trigger an update query.The query will update the value of a field [RequestStatus] on table[Requests] to Completed..But it should only do this on the matching current record being modified.Record is based on [StyeID]
View 4 Replies View RelatedAppreciate some help on a update query if possible. In this query I wish to total two sets of figures in about five seperate queries and then export them to another DB. the Dsum function is fine and will produce a result but that result needs to pick up the record ID (called PlanID) which is the primary key for the records being updated. I have struggled with this a bit as no matter what I did the PlanID field would not even display in the query results.
The section of code that is highlighted will now display an empty field and as such the rest of the query is blank. If I manually insert the PlanID figure into the record that the query is updating the other figures will appear.
How can I change this query to add the Planid to the update after it gets it from the customers form?
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE Customers INNER JOIN ExportBudgetTotalsTbl ON Customers.PlanID = ExportBudgetTotalsTbl.planid SET
ExportBudgetTotalsTbl.FoodHouseholdEx = DSum("[totalscash]","[budgetbase1qry]")+DSum("[totalcredit]","[budgetbase1qry]"),
ExportBudgetTotalsTbl.Lifestyle = DSum("[totalscash]","[budgetbase2qry]")+DSum("[totalcredit]","[budgetbase2qry]"),
ExportBudgetTotalsTbl.SavEmerg = DSum("[totalscash]","[budgetbase3qry]")+DSum("[totalcredit]","[budgetbase3qry]"),
ExportBudgetTotalsTbl.BillsFuel = DSum("[totalscash]","[budgetbase4qry]")+DSum("[totalcredit]","[budgetbase4qry]")+DSum
("[totalscash]","[budgetbase5qry]")+DSum("[totalcredit]","[budgetbase5qry]"), ExportBudgetTotalsTbl.Fixedpayments = DSum
("[totalscash]","[budgetbase6qry]")+DSum("[totalcredit]","[budgetbase6qry]"),
ExportBudgetTotalsTbl.planid =
[customers].[planid]
WHERE (((ExportBudgetTotalsTbl.planid)=[forms]![customers].[planid]));
I have a query that does calculations in the expression builder field. Is it possible to update/populate a field in a table with the calculated field/answer from the query? Thank you.

I have a table called tblProducts. Within the table I have a field called versionNumber. I want to update the version number to increment by one each time I run a query.
So if the version number is 1 after running the query it becomes 2. So far I have done the following:
CurrentDb.Execute "UPDATE tblProducts
SET tblProducts.versionNumber = "Need to increment by one, don't know how to"
FROM tblProducts;"
Please advice me how to implenent the Update query.
Thanks,

I have an Access table that is linked with an ODBC connection to an MSSQL table. I need to replace a particular value in one field with another value. Since it was taking so long by doing a Find & Replace, due to the large number of records in the table, I CTRL-BREAKed (broke?) it. I then filtered the data down to the value that I want to replace and tried another Find & Replace. Now I only get this message:
'The data has been changed. Another user edited this record and saved the changes before you attempted to save your changes. Re-edit the record.'
How do I get the changes in there?
I even went into MSSQL and did a query and the table is still showing the old value. However, when I search the SQL results for that old value it said the value was not found, even though I was looking at it right in front of me.
Hi all,
I have two tables and one of them (table1) has two fields called
pct_id and pct_name.
table2 has the field pct_id.
I also created a new field in table2 called pct_name.
What i'd like to do is set table2.pct_name=table1.pct_name wherever
table1.pct_id=table2.pct_id automatically.
Is there a query that can check to see if its the same and update table2?
Heres what i tried but it didnt work
UPDATE table1
SET table1.pct_name=table2.pct_name
WHERE ((table1.pct_id)=(table2.pct_id));
Thanks in advance
Hello,
Was wondering if there is a way without building individual update queries, to update info in one field that has multiple criteria ?
Basically I need to change/update daily multiple ID numbers to new ID numbers, long story on why this needs to be done but for now I need to do it this way.
Example: 12345 update to ABCDE, 6789 update to FGHI, etc. These ID's are all within the same field in the table.
It works fine running each ID one at a time but was wondering if it is possible to do all these updates within one query or code ?
Thanks for any assistance
I've sent a post about this before and got some of the answer from 'Dennisk'- thanks.
I want to replace composite keys with a primary. I've just made an autonumber field on one table for my new primary key and already populated it. On the foreign table ive made a new field with 'number' datatype; this field is empty at the moment.
I'm not sure how to update the foriegn tables new field with the primary tables data. I've saw it before and remember it being easy, just can't remember how to do it.
I obviously want the numbers in the primary key field to relate to the correct records in the foriegn table.
Anyone know what the query is or if there's another way?
Thanks:confused:
I want to create an query that will update a field value for records where the length of the field value is less than a given number (if LEN of UniqueID is less than 6 for example), but I can't figure out how to write a SELECT query, much less an UPDATE query for this condition....can someone help me, please?

My form contains the field Bill_Date, which may or may not be input during data entry. What I need is to run a query (I think) that allows me to input a specific date that will automatically populate all Bill_Date fields that are currently null with the date specified. Eventually this will end up on the front end where a biller will click on a link when they open the db, input the date into the field, and then process another report.
I have absolutely no idea how to even begin and was not able to locate any specific information in Help or here on the forum.
Many thanks.
Hi
I have imported 8000 records into a table called competency.
the table does not have the emp id, but needs it. I have a table called employee information which has the emp id as the primary key. I want to create a simple update query to copy the emp id (autonumbered primary key) field from the Employees table to the (now blank) emp id field in the competency table.
I created a query in design view, added the two tables
included the fields from Competency, Emp ID, Last Name, First Name and in the update field for Emp id I added this
"copy[tbEmployeeInformation].[empid]" In the criteria field of last name I typed a name and ran the query, it gave me the correct amount of records to update, but when I ran it, it gives the type conversion failure error. I checked the fields and they are the same in both tables (type, length, indexing)
What am I doing wrong?

I have a multivalue field containing values of A,B,C and D with primary IDs of 1,2,3 and 4 in that order.
If I was to run:
Code:
UPDATE Table
Set Table.Multivalue.Value = 1
WHERE Field 1 = "True" AND Field 2 = "True";
Then run
Code:
UPDATE Table
Set Table.Multivalue.Value = 2
WHERE Field 1 = "True" AND Field 2 = "True";
Will I have a Multivalue field as A,B or just B? I would like it to be A,B but I have my doubts as to whether this would work.
Would I use an update query or function to complete my task?
Task: Automatically update [Status] based on DateDiff calculation of [RequestDate] and [DueDate]
Issue: [Status] can be one of 6 values, the user can manually select Review or Completed.
[Status] values: Review; Completed; Due in 24; Due in 24-48; Beyond 48; Over Due
Query: Below is the query I just started to ignore the calculation if either Review or Completed exist.
Expr1: IIf([Status]="Review",[Status],IIf([Status]="Completed",[Status],DateDiff('d',[RequestDate],[DueDate])))If the value from above DateDiff equals to the below, I want to update the [Status] field to the [Status] value.
Due in 24 = (0-1)
Due in 24-48 = (2-3)
Beyond 48 = (greater than or equal to 4)
Over Due= (-1)

I have a form that run a query to select all the students taught by a given faculty member. Once the records are loaded, the faculty enters attendance data, selects a date from a combo box and hits a save button.I change my relationship and now need to be able to store the key for the field in the combobox and not the text.
How do I set the field, table and criteria in the update query to do this. The UD query uses the FacultyStudents query as its record source. Currently the FacultyStudents querry does not have the Key or the date fields since the date is selected by the faculty once their records are loaded. As I see it there is now way to make a join, so I think I either need VBA or SQL, which I am not very good (really bad) at wriitng. Can the necessary Sql be written in the query design view?
Is there an easy way to get user input like the parameter value box in an update query, where you want the user to specify the table name and field name to run the query on?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a table 'table1' which has various field including an ID field and a yes/no field. I then have a form based on a query originally derived from data in the original table. The form provides a list with some ID's with a yes and some with a no.

Why update query isn't working when trying to update an multivalued field. In this table, there are 647 records and only 9 of which already have a value set in the "AssociatedProject" field. More than one AssociatedProject is associated with a vendor, so this field allows for multiple entries. I've looked at all the information on update queries and updating a multivalued field, but it will only update the existing 9 records. It does not recognize the remaining ones (they have no values yet).
Here's the SQL:
UPDATE Tbl_Vendor SET Tbl_Vendor.AssociatedProject.[Value] = 3
WHERE (((Tbl_Vendor.AssociatedProject.Value) Is Null));
is possible to run an Append Query and update a field at the sametime?

I need to update the periodtype field in my table depending on different values in the field Formtype- I am looking to do this without having to use VBA. I have the following fields in a table - I want to update the value of the field Period_type as follows -
When Formtype is 10-Q, update Periodtype to "Quarterly"
When Formtype is 10-K, update Periodtype to "Annual"
The current value of Periodtype for both formtypes is "Semiannual"
Can I do this using only update query?
