I have a number of combo controls in a form. When I select various values from the pull down menus - and then exit to another form I find that the selected control values are not sync'd back to the table. The only way I can seem to cause the commit is by selecting the next record using the record navigator. Is there some setting I can use - or VBA - that causes a hard commit?

I'm trying to update a control only.
The control updates if I do
NameOfForm.requery
Yet it doesn't update if I do
NameOfForm.NameOfControl.requery
Why not ?
I'm not very familiar with Access but I need to modify an existing DB. I have added new values to it and they should appear into the source control drop down menu but only the original values appear. How or where those values can be added or updated??? I'm attaching some pictures ....
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a form that has combo boxes and text fields (as well as sub forms). There is also a button linked to some code that says'
Private Sub cmdQuote_Click()
'Creates quote date and prints quote
Me.QuoteDate = Now()
Me.cbAgentID.Requery
DoCmd.OpenReport "Quote", acViewPreview, , "BookingID = " & Me.BookingID
End Sub
When the button is pressed the QuoteDate field (it is bound) should be be populated, but unfortunately it is not. I have played with refresh and requery but cannot derive a solution.
I'm supporting some Access/VBA code which includes the following behavior:
When an update is made in a (linked) child form, the current date/time is written to a textbox on the main form via
Me.Parent!txtMod = Now
Likewise, the BeforeUpdate event of the main form updates the same field (and then does a bunch of form validity checks, possibly followed by a Save).
When we upgraded to Access 2003 from Access 2000, a problem erupted:
When the user returns to the main form (by clicking on any control outside the subform), the following message is issued: "This record has been changed by another user since you started editing it (etc.)..."
At this point the user must choose between "Save Record", "Copy to Clipboard" and "Drop Changes".
Conceptually, I see why this is happening (though I wonder why Access 2000 didn't flag it). The subform is the "other user". When the main form is returned to, it is "Dirty" (unsaved update), so the main form's BeforeUpdate event fires, and attempts to update the field again (Me.txtMod = Now). Since there is a pending change to the field, an error dialog pops up.
As a quick fix, I replaced the code in the subform with a flag ("Hey, I've been updated!"), which the main form checks on the Exit event of the subform control. But that seems a horrible solution. Surely there's a better way?
Notes:
1. It would be preferable to have the timestamp updated right away by the subform, though having it updated when the subform loses focus is better than nothing.
2. Since a subform is a control from the main form's perspective, I'm surprised that a change to that control doesn't render the main form "Dirty". I guess from a database standpoint it makes sense (the form's table isn't getting updated at all; just the subform's). But then, how does the main form know that the subform has been updated?
3. I tried catching the error via Form_Error. I can make the dialog not appear via "Response = acDataErrContinue", but unfortunately it defaults to dropping the changes (old and new), rather than saving the new.
Here's a query that the bottom listview in the attached form i.e. a listview representing a table of calls(many) to fims (1 top listview)
Code:
SELECT calls.id, calls.firm_id, calls.called, calls.said, calls.spoke_to, calls.next
FROM calls
WHERE (((calls.firm_id)=[firms].[id]))
ORDER BY calls.called DESC , calls.next DESC;
When I run the thing...I get a dialog asking me for firm id.
I want to change this so when I move up and down the firms LV (top)... the bottom LV updates taking firm id from the top LV with focus.
Access 2003.
I'm using an UPDATE query to update records in one table (tblMain) from another table (tblTemp)
Here is my SQL :
Quote:
UPDATE [tblMain]
INNER JOIN [tblTemp] ON [tblMain].[MainField1] = [tblTemp].[TempField1]
SET [tblMain].[MainField2] = [tblTemp].[TempField2];
I only want to update the records in tblMain which have a corresponding record in tblTemp (linked by MainField1 / TempField1)
If any record doesn't appear in tblTemp, I want tblMain to retain the existing value for that record.
However, it appears that in such situations, the record in tblMain has it's MainField2 value set to null / ZLS.
I've tried using LEFT JOIN and RIGHT JOIN and also tried WHERE clauses but the result is the same every time.
I have a combo box (cboManifestNumber) that is based on the following table:
tblManifestData
ManifestDataIDPK (autonumber PK)
ManifestNumber
RemovedDate
ManifestComments
TsdfIDFK (FK frm tblTSDF)
This table is related to:
tblTSDF
TsdfIDPK (autonumber PK)
I need to be able to update tblManifestData with a new manifest number and manifest comments, along with assigning it a TSDF. how to be able to enter a new manifest number and the associated data without having it create two lines in tblManifestData. I thought that I could enter a new manifest number, then requery the table and form so it shows the complete list of manifest numbers (including the recently entered one) while staying on the newest entry.
I have an Access 2007 application that has a Parts Table that contains a list of automotive parts.I have attached a screen shot (parts.jpg) showing the structure.I have another table called Web_Parts that has exactly the same structure as Parts. The Web_Parts table gets its data from a CSV import that I do that is data extracted from an MySQL database used by an eCommerce website.
You will notice that there is a field called "Web_Product_Id" (number). This is the unique ID for each of the products that I have exported from the Web shop system. I need to regularly (probably every couple of weeks), export out of the web shop system and import into the Access environment.
Due to the fact that the data in the web shop system may change (pricing, description, add new items, delete new items etc), I need to find a way that I can simply update any existing records in the Parts table with any new information contained in the Web_Parts table......
I have two tables that are formatted identically....
Table1 = MasterTable
Table2 = TempTable
I am taking a copy of one of the entry from the master table and Copying it to the temp table.I then open a form on the TempTable that enables the user to modify the content without affecting the information in the MasterTable.On Completion and Save I wish to take this modified content and update the MasterTable Using the Field "ID"
the tables for example look like this
ID NAME AGE DATE1 DATE2
I am guessing I need to use a
Code:
DoCmd.RunSQL UPDATE "MasterTable" WHERE "TempTable"
Type of command but not to sure on the correct syntax and as everything is the same the use of wildcards for all fields
I am trying to update a table with the value of a text box on the form where the table to update is as selected from a combo box on the form.I keep getting the following
Error message:
Run-time error 2465
Microsoft Access cant find the field & table_to_update & referred to in your expression..
But really can't see what I've done wrong. Have checked that the table_to_update string does contain the name of the table so guess it must be sql..
Code:
Private Sub Command91_Click()
Dim table_to_update, sql_string As String
table_to_update = Me.Combo49
Debug.Print table_to_update

I have two tables, Table Products & Table Sold and I'm trying to aggregate the products table to reduce the total number of products and I want this update to happen with all tables that share a 1 to many relationship with the product table. (table sold is one of those).I have products apple, pear, bananna. I am now aggregating them to all just be called fruit. Problem is when I make this change in the product table I get this error:
"The changes you requested to the table were no successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primary key, or relationship. Change the data in the field or fields that contain duplicate data, remove the index, or redefine the index to permit duplicate entries and try again."how to go about aggregating data in a table that has 1 to many relationships with many other tables.

I have used a make table query to create a table with text values. I need to convert these values to numerical data, for instance "Male" should become 1 and "Female" should become 0. I tried doing this in an update query, but had to use 2 separate queries. Don't know if a macro would work to update a table (there are no forms in this DB, it's all data fields). Same with code, I usually do this with forms. How can I update the raw data, which in some cases has multiple ifs, into the correct format? Thanks!
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have two tables. One table is linked to a text file that is always update by the another program. I have another table the is same exact one but it does not get updated.

Here's my problem:
I have a table called WorkOrder. I have fields labeled:
JobID, which is an autonumber
WODate, which is formatted as =Date()
and WOID, long integer
Here's what I want to do and have done:
On my form I have WOID control source set to:
=Format([WODate],"mmddyy") & Format([JobID],"00")
I know that storing calculated values isn't the preferred method but it's what I've done.
The problem is I have a cmd button on the form, that when clicked asked for the WOID. This button is based on a query to print a specific work order.
The problems is that this calculated value (WOID) isn't appended to the table so nothing exists when the cmd button is click and the WOID is entered.
How can I update the table with this WOID for the specific job?

I have a table (A) with three variables: ProjectID, SubprofileID, and Budget. A projectID may have several subprofileIDs. I need to update this table monthly. Each month, I will get a table (B) with exact format. I want to update table A using data from Table B. I used UPDATE..... Left JOIN. But there is a probelm. For example, if project XX is not in Table B, the budget of project XX will be empty in Table A after updating whcih originally has data. Also, if Table B has a new Project YY, it is not added into Table A.
Could anyone help me with it?
Thank you very mcuh.
I want to update a column in table A with the value in table B where the value in A matches another column in B

I want to add a lot of e-mail addresses to a membership database.
The database has 2 relevant tables
Home details
with fields Group ID: various Address fields: E-mail
Personal Details
with fields GroupID: FirstName: Surname: etc etc
These two are linked by the GroupID field
I have another table with fields FirstName: Surname: E-Mail
I would like to be able to design a query that checks in the Personal Details table for match with FirstName and Surname, and then updates the E-Mail field in the Home Details table.
Is this possible, and how should the query be designed?
Thanks

Newbie here.
I'm using MS Access 2007, and I have a lookup table that I use for a form dropdown. I decided I want to change the names to abbreviations. But I see this does not automatically refresh the coorisponding names in the rest of the database. It only changes the dropdown menu options in my form as I add new data. All the old data stays as full names rather than the new abbreviations.

Hi,
This is the code:
Code:Public Function FOB()Dim sku As StringDim invoice As StringDim strSQL As StringDim dbs As DatabaseDim sku_rst As DAO.RecordsetDim invoice_rst As DAO.RecordsetSet dbs = CurrentDbSet sku_rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("SKU_ TABLE", dbOpenDynaset)Set invoice_rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("INVOICE", dbOpenDynaset)strSQL = "UPDATE INVOICE RIGHT JOIN [SKU_ TABLE] ON (INVOICE.SKU = [SKU_ TABLE].SKU) AND (INVOICE.DIV = [SKU_ TABLE].DIV) SET [SKU_ TABLE].FOB = 'Fob' " & _ " WHERE ((([SKU_ TABLE].FOB) Is Null) AND ((INVOICE.ACCOUNT) Like " * 11010 * " Or (INVOICE.ACCOUNT) Like " * 11111 * "));" End Function
I receive an type mismatch error. Run time error 13.
I've checked the field types and length, correct.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
I have a form with a subform (main form is "frm_Maintenance_Request_2" and sub form is "subfrm_Job_Costs". The main form has a field called "GrandTotal" which is draws from a calculation on the sub form.) What I want to be able to do is that once the field has the calculation it updates a field called "Estimate_Cost" in the table "tbl_Maintnenance_Request". Can I do this without running an update query? I would prefer to use an Event Procedure that says something like afterUpdate:
tbl_Maintnenance_Request!Estimate_Cost = Forms!frm_Maintenance_Request_2!GrandTotal
Can you help please?
I have a current database application that is used by our sales team. The information used by the database is pulled from our SQL Server. The problem I am running into is most of our sales staff lack the access to the data source when in the field, but still requires the use of the program. I have thought of creating a standalone version of the program for all users to have on their laptops with a standalone table that is a copy of the information in the SQL server. Is their a way to detect if the data source is available and update the standalone table to reflect the new information? Basically I want my database app to check if the data source on the SQL server is available and update accordantly.
Thanks in advance
In my access database I have a "products" table which contains three concerning columns (pID, price, listprice) This table contains products from hundreds of different suppliers. Periodically, each supplier will send an updated price list containing the three pieces of information listed above.
My question is, is there any way to automate the following three processes:
1) if the product ID already exists. update to the new price
2) if the product ID doesn't exist add the new product and price
3) if a product has been discontinued, delete the record (this part not a necessity, but would be nice)
Thank you in advance for any help, if you have any other questions please ask

AND VOLUNTEER.FIRST_NAME = qryTotalHours.FIRSTNAME;
I'm getting a syntax error of (missing operator) in query expression 'qryTotalHours.Total FROM qryTotalHours.
Can someone please help me?
