General :: Assigning Records From One Table To Another?
Dec 2, 2013
Database has a form to add a new item. This info is stored in the Item TBL. There is also a table that lists available UPC codes called UPC TBL. When a user enters a new item a dialog box will give them the choice to add a UPC code for that item. Clicking no - nothing changes and user return to the original form (no brainer) But if they click yes what I need to happen is:
1. The next available UPC code in the UPC TBL is entered into the Item TBL field for UPC.
2. The UPC TBL is updated to remove the assigned UPC, leaving it ready for the next assignment.
3. - and for another day - I need to create a message when the UPC table is empty because all UPC's have been assigned.

I notice that this topic has been done to death.....I have a database that is embedding the pictures and the predictable problems has manifested...the database is swelling up....
I'm learning to adapt the database to include the file location in the form and have the picture box refer to the file location, rather then embedding the picture into it....the problem that I have is that although I know how to do it because I get it.....this database will be run by a number of people, many of which don't have much experience and it must be simple to input the file location. Is there a way to simplify putting the file location in the text box aside from typing it in manually (a search window; like the one that appears when trying to open a file or insert an object, perhaps)....

We're developing a database to manage tournament registrants as well as event results.
The key tables we have ar:
ContactsRegistrationsRegistration DetailsTournamentsAgeGroupsBreakingAgeGroupsExperienceGroupsEventsPayments
There are queries for using information in the tables to determine age, competition divisions etc.
At the moment the RegistrationExtended query, which uses the ContactsExtended and TournamentsExtended queries and the Registrations table to determine the number of events for each registrant as well as what division and age group they are assigned. This is done with some IIF expressions.
For the 2012 event we had 4 division classes based on experience and 6 age groups. For 2013 there might be more division classes and age groups. So now I have the tables AgeGroups, BreakingAgeGroups, and ExperienceGroups. The two age group tables have a query that calculates the age group name based on the values in the MinAge and MaxAge fields. For example 8 & Under, 9-11, 12-14 etc. The ExperienceGroups also have a minimum and a maximum field but only one field will be completed for each experience level. If the value is a maximum then that would be for those with less than the maximum experience and if the value was a minimum then that would be for those with minimum of that many years of experience. For example Grasshopper for less than 1 yearWarrior for those with 1 year to less than 2.5 yearsSamurai for those with 2.5 years and less than 4 yearsShogun for those with 4 or more years.
We want to maintain the history so the age groups and experience groups are now tied to the tournament.
I'm think that I'll need some VBA code that will compare the registrant's tournament age to the ranges assigned to that tournament and will assign them to the correct age groups. Then there will be code to compare the registrant's experience and assign them to the correct division class. The key here is that each year might have a different number of age groups and experience groups as well as different experience group names. For instance in 2013 we may change the 8& Under group to 7-8 and add a 6 & Under group and we may add another level called Emperor for those with 20 years or more experience.

I have an access form which includes my primary key field "ID". Normally when I use this form to enter a new record this field displays "(New)" until I enter data in any other field, then the ID field updates to reflect the new value. This worked fine when the table I was adding the record to was a table linked from another access database.
I recently moved my data to SQL Server 2008, without making any other changes to the application, and this behavior has changed. Now when I enter data into a new record the ID field changes to "NULL". And I am not able to reference this value in my program (Me.ID) like I used to be able to. When I save the record the ID field gets assigned and everything works as normal.
So I am able to make my application work again by forcing the record to save before trying to reference Me.ID, but why the behavior changed when my table moved from Access to SQL Server.

Three tables:
Inventory
InventoryPK
ShowLink
ShowFK
InventoryFK
Shows
ShowPK
There's an inventory of products that I might take to a show (convention). What's a good way to associate the show with the product, and store that relationship in the ShowLink table?
I could make a datasheet with one of the fields a combo box, but this would get tedious if I had 100 products. I figure a better way would be to have a multiselect list box that I select all the products, then have one combo box to associate a show to it.

There is currently a database which contains location information on a variety of different samples, each which is identified by a unique sample number (the primary key). However, when these samples are processed, they are split it half and each is assigned a second identifier for each half (in this case, an A or a B). Therefore, if originally there was sample 1, it will be split into 1A and 1B. My task is essentially to create a second database with further information for each sample half (1A or 1B), while maintaining a link to the main sample database to reflect any changes to the sample location information. So far I have been using a make table query that pulls from the linked table which links back to the main database and combines with another table that simply has one column called "Piece" which has an 'A' in the first row and a 'B' in the second row.
I am quite new to using access, but I have found this task fairly frustrating so far because it feels like I am trying to force access to work in ways that it was not designed. Essentially I would like access to create a duplicate entry for each sample in the original database, and force in an 'A' or a 'B', and combine these fields to create a unique identifier. However, I am running into a lot of issue when trying to append data from the original database etc.

I'm trying to put together a DB for creating notifications to customers. The source file is pulled out from another system as an Excel file, which is then uploaded to Access via VBA. The user runs a query, and then sends the results (customer information) to an Excel file where we have set up a mail merge document (the notification itself).
A customer may appear in multiple records (having multiple accounts), but will only receive one notification.
What we're trying to do is give each notification an unique ID that will become its document reference number once the document is created. The number will need to be the same for all the records in which the customer appears, and they will need to be consecutive, as the documents themselves will be stored in PDF form later on in the process.
So I would like to assign an unique ID to each customer, each time it shows up when querying the uploaded source file (the query is done in a form, that has a sub-form for showing the results). Then, when exporting the query results, they will be also copied and stored to another table, along with the assigned reference number, for monitoring purposes.
The Access file itself will be split and used by multiple users (up to 9 users at a time). In theory, each user will see their own customers (each customer account is assigned to a certain user), but the number assignation will need to also depend on when the query has been run. For example, if user 1 queries the DB at 9:30AM they will get records numbered 1000 to 1050; user 2 (who queries the DB at 9:31AM) gets numbers 1051 to 2100 etc.

I've got a table tblPatienten, a table tblRechnung and a form frmRechnung.
The primary key in tblPatienten is KundenNummer, the primary key in tblRechnung is RechnungsNummer. The relationship between tblPatienten and tblRechnung is one to many.
Now, every patient (stored in tblPatienten) is allowed to make multiple orders (stored in tblRechnung).
How can I assign each new order entry in frmRechnung to an existing patient in tblPatienten?

I'm working on a database to organize and streamline the process that the manufacturing facilities in my organization use to request removal of defective product and raw materials. Currently all of the facilities send me their requests on individual excel spreadsheets via email, which are difficult to keep track of and report on since nothing is consolidated. What I've done is create a form in access that mirrors the current spreadsheet being used, so all the facilities have to do is enter the info into the access form rather than excel. The use of access is more for my benefit than theirs though, as it will keep track of the requests as well as make reporting on the request data much simpler.
When the facilities fill out the request form and select their facility number from a drop down list, I'm wanting them to be provided with a "Request ID" so that they may keep track of the progress of the request. The request ID should be a sequential alphanumeric value that includes the facility's three digit facility code, the last two digits of the year, and the number of the request. An example would be PL1-150001. The kicker here is that I want each facility to have it's own set of sequential numbers. So for example let's say I receive four requests in one week, three from facility 1 and one from facility 2. They should be assigned request ID's such as PL1-150001, PL1-150002, PL1-150003, and PL2-150001.

A while ago I was tasked with creating a compliance testing database for my company's internal processes. For example: Payments, Hiring, Project Management, etc. Right now it's all done through Excel and is structured like this:
Compliance Test 01:
-----|Sample1|Sample2|Sample3|etc...
Item1|GradeA |GradeB |GradeC |etc...
Item2|GradeB |GradeA |GradeC |etc...
Item3|GradeC |GradeC |GradeA |etc...
etc...
In short, a Test has many Items (based on company regulations, like "Has the project been approved by all superiors?"). For each Item you choose a few Samples ("Project A", "Project B" and so on), and for each Sample the user attributes a Grade ("In Compliance", "Not In Compliance", "N/A", etc).
In the Tests mainform, the user fills in the Test details (Tab #1), chooses which available Items he wants to include in his test (Tab #2), details the Samples which will be tested (Tab #3) and finally assigns a Grade to each Item/Sample combination (Tab #4).
Here's what I can't figure out:
In the attached DB, if we go into the "CT - Projects 2013" and check the Samples in Tab#3, we can see they match perfectly with the ones at Tab#4.
Now if we go into "CT - Projects 2014" and do the same thing, we can see that the Samples assigned to the Items in Tab#4 don't match up with the ones in Tab#3 at all. This is because the DB is checking only if the Samples' ItemIDs match with the ItemIDs in the test. But it also needs to make sure that the TestID, the Item's TestID *and* the Sample's TestID match, or it just won't work!
I attached a 2003 version of the database as the first upload used Access 2010.

I have a table that contains clients. There are a few select times when there will be one client organization but I will need to have two entries--say when one department has a separate contact & record of events than another department.
In most cases these separate departments can be treated as entirely separate clients however in some ways they should be counted as one--such as when counting the number of clients that we serve.
What is the best way that I can accomplish this?
My current idea is that when this situation arrises I have some type of command button that will create a new client record in the table, copy the information from the first record, then I can change it as need be.
I don't know if this is possible, how to do it, and how to set up queries that will recognize the two entries as one record. I don't even know if this is the best way to do it

I have Office 2010 working on XP Pro SP3.
This is the first time I have tried to append/import a bunch of names and addresses from a spreadsheet into my access table.
I thought it would be easy with all the integration of applications but it's not. What happened to the bit where I could match the fields where it's not quite the same name and set the type so it worked OK.
All I seem to be able to get at at the moment is a wizard which does a very poor job and won't allow me to append the records. I tried exporting the Excel as CSV - same thing - error messages.
Is there a way of matching up the fields so everything works? What am I missing - this should be a cinch right?

I select records from a table based on criteria:
< Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set rst = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT * FROM [tblLVRWrittenStatements] WHERE [tblLVRWrittenStatements].[seedrsID] = " & seedrsIDVar & "") >
I now want to append these filtered records to another table called ArchivedWrittenStatementsTable;
< CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO [ArchivedWrittenStatementsTable] SELECT * FROM rst" >
Would be lovely except rst not recognised. Is there a way of achieving this without having to <addnew etc > looping through the records.

Still working on the registration and badge print system for their upcoming exhbition the company I do a bit of work for. Managed to solve most of my problems but have got stuck here.
Basically each of the badges have a barcode (code 39) on them which is in the following format...
*1000000123$M*
(*'s required for the barcode to work, the numbers are the badge number and the $M is the enter command (i think))
Basically we need a form that allows us to scan the barcode (the number of the barcode is the Primary Key in the tbl_Attendees), and for this to update the "Attended" (Yes/No) field to yes. This bit I can do with a simple update query, but we need some form of confirmation, something simple like a line of text showing up on the form saying
"Joe Bloggs of Leeds registered as Attended".

I would like to know how to add new records into a table from another table.
I have 2 tables A & B.
A is the main file and if customers wanted to add new data into table A and if he clicks on add records in table A then table B needs to open. So that they want to add records in Table B. Later we will update table A from B.
I used macros to do it but it's not fine.

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.

I am losing records in one table when I delete from another, i.e., I do want to delete records in one, but the related records in the other are also being deleted. This was not happening until I did a recent up date.I created a database in Access 2002 about 8 years ago and my client has been using it successfully ever since. I have occasionally made updates and enhancements. They have over the years upgraded and are now on Office 2010. I'm still using Access 2002.
I recently (3 weeks ago) added a new feature and installed the new code. The database is split, code and data. The new feature was working well, but suddenly they were losing records and they cannot operate until I have it resolved. I spent 2 hours today in their office and could not work out why it was happening.
I have a straight forward client table with names and addresses and some other information. I have another table which links together Clients, Counsellors and Supervisors and works out a room allocation for Therapy sessions. Once the Therapy sessions have been completed, we need to delete the Client, Counsellor, Supervisor + room allocation, but we do not want to delete the Client record in the Client table. The User is offered the opportunity to either archive the client record or not archive it, that's all. The Archive procedure is simply to put a tick in the "Archive" field, not delete the record.
However, when the Client, Counsellor, Supervisor + room allocation is deleted, it is also removing the Client record. I do have a relationship between Clients, Counsellor, Supervisor, but it doesn't have "enforce referential integrity", it is just a one-to-one relationship. The odd thing is that when I delete the allocation here at home on my Access 2002 system, it does not delete the Client Record, but it does in their office, using exactly the same code and data.
The Allocation is on a sub form and the way they delete is by highlighting the Allocation and then clicking on the X - Delete button on the Access menu (the program is not very sophisticated, but has worked until now). I have some code in the "on delete" event, but even if I take out all the code and just allow the deletion with the usual Access message "you are about to delete 1 record... " I have seen that the related Client record gets deleted at the same time. it does not happen on my system, only in their office.

I've set up a piece of VBA code to loop through and email various recipients data, in the form of records within the email body. This works fine, but occasionally produces an error whereby the email output body lines are duplicated spuriously. This only seems to happen when running a large number of email loops.
The data source for the email body content is a table, which for each 'loop' is refreshed with new data by 1) deleting records from that table, and then 2) appending data to the table.
The portion of code for the loop & email:
Do
'Build outputbodytext
DoCmd.OpenQuery ("EmailQ2")
DoCmd.OpenQuery ("EmailQ1")
'set up email
Set rec2 = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("outputbodytext")
strSendTo = rec2("Email")
[Code] .....

I have records using a select query that I am sending to a make table. I would like to have those records excluded from being used again for 180 days, at which point they can be used again. Essentially, I have an ID and an email address which gets stored in the Make Table. I would need to ensure that if we send an email out in Week 1, we do not send an email again for another 180 days if there is activity from that same ID. On day 181, the ID/email address can then be resent.

I am looking to add a field to my table with a timestamp for each new entry.
I am working with a split database. All of the records are inputted by forms (in the back end by other users). I want to be able to see the exact time that a record was added, but without having to add this field to the actual form. I just want to be able to have a field in the table that shows me when the user submitted an entry. Is there a way to add an automatic timestamp field to the table?

I think what I want is:
1 table(1): record of people & contact details
1 table(2): list of events with check box's with the names of people from the other table
1 report: listing how many events people have attended.
When I add a new person to table 1 I want a field to be added to table 2 in the form of a checkbox, also when I delete this person I want this field to be deleted in table 2.how to make this an automated process.

I have a database created in Access 2003 about six years ago. I’m the sole user of the Application, which I use to keep track of my personal assignments and to quickly access other resources. A search form was added and tweaked over time until it contained the features I desired. The search form uses a subform to display a list of records, with the ability to click a record‘s "Edit" field to open and update that record.
In about March 2014 we upgraded from Office 2003 using Windows XP to Office 2010 using Windows 7. All users on other Applications that I’d designed and support experienced missing Reference issues, but those were resolved rather quickly. I'd been off work intermittently for about six weeks between April and July and gradually started noticing other issues with my personal assignments tracker that I did not immediately associate with the upgrade. Early on, I noticed that I could no longer delete or rename database objects on several of the databases that I'd designed and support. Eventually, I also noticed that I was unable to create new records and received SaveRecord error messages associated with the subform. I'd encountered SaveRecord issues before and went through previous steps to resolve, but to no avail. Eventually, I came to the conclusion, right or wrong, that all of my recent issues were associated with the upgrade.
I found through online research that my loss of ability to delete or rename Objects was possibly due to the loss of Object Owership and Permissions, which was associated with my Security Workgroup. I confirmed that Ownerships and Permissions had been lost and was unwilling to recreate the database, just yet. No user of other Applications that I support reported any problem creating new records.
I know now that new Access doesn’t have the Security menu item that allows Workgroup creation and joining. After months of online research and trial and error, I was directed to Microsoft Knowledgebase Article 918583, which provided VBA code that allowed me to Run the Workgroup Administrator to rejoin my previously established Workgroup.
After rejoining my Workgroup, everything seemed to return to normal. I could delete and rename records and was able to create new records. After a few days, I noticed that new records were not being displayed in the search form right away. I confirmed that the records were being added to the main table, but still not available in the search form, queries, or reports until after an additional record had been added. In other words, for example, in order to view record 1, a record 2 would have to be added. In order to view record 2, a record 3 would have to be added, and so on. This makes it very tedious to enter new assignments.
I believe the present issue is greater than my search form, because the newest record is not only not available in the search form, but not available in any other form, query, or report. I have no clue where to start.

I have a work order system that people use but it somewhat randomly puts blank records into my table. I've added a lot of validation checks when submitting, closing and resetting the form and limited the way people can exit out of the form to fight this issue but it still happens.
