i have just taken over
I have just taken over some database which have a load of tables and queries that I suspect are no longer requirer. Is there anyway to see when a table or query was last USED in a database??
Any help is appreciated
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));
We have a split access2010 application in which the BE is 1.6Gb compacted. It reached 1.8Gb recently, then I compacted it and it returned to 1.6Gb-ish, but some of the FE functionality then virtually ceased to run. Some (very stressful) hours later I discovered that some of the table indices were missing, and when I re-added them the FE functionality returned to normal.
Is it a known thing that compacting can have that effect? Obviously I can see the logic of removing indices to free up space, but with such potentially significant performance consequences I'm amazed that compacting doesn't include an explicit warning about the possibility.
I have imported a table into a form and would like to know how to remove the navigation options from the bottom of the table, I know you can do it for the form but can you do it for a table contained in a form.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have 4 or 5 tables. Most of the fields are exactly the name but they all have at least 1 to possibly 5 or six fields that are not in the other table. Additionally there are some duplicates within the individual tables as well as across tables.
i.e.
I have a
Student Table - with all the info on the student as well as a column called student that identifies them as such however it does not have the columns parent, donor, appeal, designation.....
Parent Table - with all the info on the student as well as a column called parent that identifies them as such however it does not have the columns student, donor, appeal, designation.....
Donor Table - with all the info on the student as well as a column called donor that identifies them as such however it does not have the columns student, parent, appeal, designation.....
Appeal Table - with all the info on the student as well as a column called appeal that identifies them as such however it does not have the columns student, parent, donor, designation.....
-A person can be within one of these tables more than once but with all the same information.
-A person can also fall into all of these parameters so they could be on every table with the same information in addition to the missing columns,=.
Question 1 : what is the best way to dedupe and delete the individual tables (they all have account numbers)
Question 2: I was thinking create a new table with all the columns available, however how do i dedupe across tables while populating the additional columns from each?
I have two tables in my Access database. Table 1 has three columns, First Name, Last Name and Phone Number. Table 2 has just 2 columns, First Name and Last Name. What I would like to do is write a VBA macro to consolidate Table 2 into Table 1 and insure any duplicate First Name-Last Name combination is removed.
Table1
Code:
F.Name L.Name Tel.N.
John Smith 12345
Larry Miller 12344
Tony Woods 12333
Table2
Code:
F.Name L.Name
Albert Black
Larry Miller
John Bush
Table1 Post-Macro
Code:

How to create an expression that removes the ".tif" extension of a file path.The data looks like this in it raw form:
J:201303080056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_00100562 73_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_3.tif
In my query grid in the filed row I have the following:
ImageRef: Mid([strImagePath],111,38)
which produces the following:
00056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_3.tif
00056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_31.tif
and so on...
What I need to do is remove the ".tif" part of the data. because of the way the path is output with regards to the tif image number, I'm having difficulty in targeting only that data that comes before the ".tif" extension.Is there a method I can use that will remove the right 4 characters and in conjunction with my expression above produce the following:
00056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_3
00056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_31
I've managed to work out how to get the data without the file extension ".tif" with the following expression:
ImageRef1: Left([strImagePath],Len([strImagePath])-4)
which gives me the following:
domgennt.dggroup.comglobalResourceApplication sUNIeFlowIMAGES201303080056273_ELECTRICALRET AILER_0010056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_3
and
domgennt.dggroup.comglobalResourceApplication sUNIeFlowIMAGES201303080056273_ELECTRICALRET AILER_0010056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_31
How can I combine the following expression with the above expression to get what I need:
Combine - Mid([strImagePath],111,38) with Left([strImagePath],Len([strImagePath])-4)
to get this result:
00056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_3
00056273_ELECTRICALRETAILER_001_31
I have a field called "SC" with a value 13-251. I need to remove the "-" ending up with 13251. I tried using, as a starting point, Mid(String, Start, Length) with no success. I found this in another topic, and thought this might be close to what I was looking for. I sure did not know how to use it. When I selected the run command I got the following response:
Query must have at least one destination.
I tried a few different things like adding an extra field and different pointers but I doubt if I'm even standing in the batters box.
I have a weight field that I've been populating with the weight and the unit of measure. I want to seperate those into 2 different fields. I've created a new field called UnitofMeasure and now I need to go back and remove all the instances of 'oz' and 'lbs' from the first field.
Is this possible with SQL?
In access I queried my results and now I have to do this last step. I basically have an ID column and a tax fee column. I am trying to remove the duplicated ID numbers but if they are duplicated I need it to add up the tax fee column so I can have one ID with all the tax fees added up together instead of several different ones.
I tried doing the equivalent to a pivot table (works perfectly in excel) but when I tried doing it in access, it did not work.
I have a table called Stock Levels which contains 3 fields. (ID, ProductID, StockLevel) ID is the Pkey, ProductID contains duplicates and StockLevel which contains different stock levels
and I am trying to remove the duplicates and retain the the data so I am left with the correct stock number
what I have done is the following, but I am still getting duplicate values in productid and stocklevels
SELECT DISTINCTROW id, productid, stocklevel into mynewtable from stocklevels
I have attached a screenshot of the table
I have a large table with many fields and many rows. There is no primary key. I'll call one field ParentPN, and another field ChildPN. There are many other fields as well. I want to identify all rows where BOTH the ParentPN and ChildPN occur more than once. I know how to create a query to identify duplicates of ONE field in the table, but not two. I can solve this with VBA: I will read the two fields of interest in the first row, then compare both values with every other row. If it finds another row with BOTH ParentPN and ChildPN identical with the first, that's a "hit". Then, repeat with all the other rows. I could find ways to make this run faster, but I was wondering if there are any build in functions to accomplish this. I looked at the Find Duplicates query builder, and all I see is I can select ONE field to search for dupes, not two.

I'm trying to append some text to a field used for comments for a Team Member profile. I don't really want to create a comments table for multiple comments regarding changes to the profile.
Some comments already exist and I want to add some more information programmatically when the profile is updated using a batch update at the end of a reporting period.
I thought it'd be easy in a query,
New Comment:[EXISTING COMMENT] & "; Additional Comment" But I was getting HTML Tags when I tried to concatenate the strings. "<div><font color=black> EXISTING COMMENT HERE </font></div>" then a linefeed and <div> </div>; Additional Comment HERE.
I found a function to kill all the html tags but the visual linefeed and the " " tag won't go away.
I'd like to concatenate two pure text strings to get one pure text string to put back into the comments field which will just be text wrapped with no forced linefeeds.
I have this small database, I would like to have your support to setup this query "QryResults" in order to remove the duplicate records, I can't find a way to get shown only true records, for some reason I'm getting duplicate rows and fake values, the query is calculating operations from two different queries and a table.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to allow my users to do some analysis of existing data. they would like to be able to generate a report which will summarize sales orders against the month they were placed. They would also like to summarize this by between 1 and 4 other fields.
I have created a "filter" form to allow them to choose the values for each of the 4 fields and my plan is that they will leave them blank if they do not want to narrow them down. My problem is that I would like to remove the grouping on the field if they do not select a value for it.
Example data:
Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4, Cost, Month, Year
1,2,3,4,£20,4,2014
1,3,4,5,£10,4,2014
1,2,4,5,£5,4,2014
If they select nothing for any of the fields I would just want to see that my total for April 2014 is £35
If they select 1 in Field1 then I want to see one line with a total of £35 (i.e. it ignores the distinction of the other selectable fields)
If they select 1 in Field1 and 2 in Field2 the total would be £25
If they select 2 in Field2 and 4 in Field3 the total would be £5
etc. etc.
I am struggling because I need the distinct records to allow me to group on them when I need to but if I don't need to group on them I need to ignore the grouping.
When I copy data from Outlook or MS Word that contains bullets or other HTML formatted text, into MS Access text control, the HTML tags are displayed in the tables.
The memo field in the table is set to Rich Text and so is the text control on the form.
Below is an example of the data I'm copying from Outlook email:
Fire Alarm Activation
Actual/Smoke Present
False
Planned Drill/Testing
Evacuation
2. Utilities/Power/Communication Failure
Now, below is what it looks like in my table or output in a report:
<ol>
<ol>
<li><strong>Fire Alarm Activation </strong></li>
</ol>
</ol>
<ul>
[Code] ....
How can I copy and paste and remove the html tags?
