Greetings all! We have a mentor-mentee database that's been setup with a many-to-many design. We're storing essentially the same data in each table except for the field names. We thought we were good to go but one additional request was made to determine a count of employees participating in the program (regardless of whether mentor or mentee) in each section of the company. We don't want each person counted multiple times if they are both a mentor and a mentee, or if they have >1 mentee or >1. I created a couple of queries to pull unique empIDs from each table to narrow down each table BUT I'm stuck on being able to pull unique id's from both tables.
I first tried the unmatched query wizard from both viewpoints but then I don't get those cases where a mentor is also a mentee. In other attempts, I end up with a cartesian product. I've cruised through the queries section but haven't come up with any examples related to this type of situation.
I need a way to pull both unmatched records from each table while also getting essentially the first occurrence of instances where mentorID=MenteeId. I'm no SQL expert so if someone can think of a statement that would suffice, it would be greatly appreciated.
I have this basic question (obviously not so basic for me): how to pull out only unique records from two fields.
More details - two fields with names of competitors in a tournament (Winner or Loser) and i need to build a query to have all players names participating in the tournament regardless if they have won or lost in one list.
I have created a table that acts as a header for my data and a second table that acts as line item data. What I need to do now is add a second child table that uses the line item data as its parent table and stores associated line items for each record. Is this possible?
I've been given a file with 165,000 records that was saved as an .xls file. I'm trying to import it into Access so I can view all of the records. When I try to import the file I get an error that "C:AllFiles.xls" is not in the expected format. I've tried the external data wizard and transferspreadsheet method.
I can open the file in excel and see the first 65,000 records. If I copy them and paste them into a new .xls file, I can import them just fine.
I am quite frustrated at not being able to solve this problem in a Db I am developing for my wife. :eek: I have searched through a number of solutions to similar thread questions. I tried using "Distinct" in the SQL statement, Grouping using Max, Min, First and Last all without success.
So my db is a simple 2 table set up with a one to many relationship as follows:
Whenever I run a query I am getting duplicated records of Visit information which should happen. However, I would like to have only one of the visits displaying (first or last doesnt matter.) The Visit No is a unique autonumber.
Can anyone help, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Form A is used for data entry into SampleTable. On this form I have a some fields including these two: ReplicateA, LabBatchCode.
The database contains another table, IndividualSampleTable. This table contains two fields: ReplicateB, LabBatchCodeReplicateB.
When the user enters information into Form A, the data in fields Sample.ReplicateA and Sample.LabBatchCode are used to populate IndividuallSampleTable. But here's the twist: On IndividualSample Table, IndividualSample.ReplicateB needs to be autogenerated (I guess). Then the field IndividualSample.LabBatchCodeReplicateB is comprised of LabBatchCode entered in Form A, concatenated to the IndividualSample.ReplicateB field.
To make it tricker, the number of records added to IndividualSample table is determined by the value supplied on Form A in the field ReplicateA.
So, Form A could look like this: ReplicateA: 3 LabBatchCode: CRBR05151998
IndividualSample table should end up with three records like this: ReplicateB: 1 LabBatchCode: CRBR051519981
ReplicateB: 2 LabBatchCode: CRBR051519982
ReplicateB: 3 LabBatchCode: CRBR051519983
Hope this makes sense! And I appreciate the help!!!!
I have a form displaying the 11 fields of the parent/primary table using a selection from a combo box. I am using queries and vba code modules respective to form, combo box and command buttons. I have initial code that uses the two fields from the combo box selection to append same to a new parent/primary archive table. I now want to add to the append SQL the remaining fields to the parent/primary archive table. When I add the second sql string for the remaining fields to the same procedure and execute I keep getting 'null in primary key'. If I copy the primary record and paste same into the archive table it works.
Private Sub Command26_Click() On Error GoTo Err_Archive_Primary_Click
Dim strSQL As String Dim strSQL2 As String
strSQL = "INSERT INTO ARC_289325045 ([Survey Point ID], [Survey Area Detail], [Date On Site]) " & _ "VALUES ('" & Me.cboAreaDetailDate.Column(0) & "','" & Me.cboAreaDetailDate.Column(1) & "'," & _ "#" & Me.cboAreaDetailDate.Column(2) & "#)"

The next step is to do the same for the child table and append related records to the child archive table.

I'm trying to split a table up because I now realize it won't be able to do what I need in the future. It wasn't designed properly at the outset, and I'm trying to correct it now.
This is a database of pregnancies and deliveries.
The single table does not cater well for multiple pregnancies (twins, triplets, etc), and also I foresee problems when mothers come back in future for another delivery.
Therefore I am trying to separate data into 3 tables: Mother, Delivery and Baby.
This is because each mother can deliver more than once, and each delivery can have more than one baby.
I have set up a trial database, with just a few fields in each table to see if this works. An screenshot of the table relationships is attached.
The primary key of the Mother table is linked to the Delivery table, and ditto the primary key of the Delivery table and the Baby table.
I'm not sure how to migrate the data over, in terms of the primary keys of each table, because in the new tables, these should be an AutoNumber field, so that they are unique numbers.
I have to make a Costing System but for that I need to enter our Expense details in database according to Fiscal year and months.
I need a table for Fixed expenses and one for Variable Expenses and then I need one or more Forms to update data in those tables. Now I've created a table with Fixed Expenses. I have to update Year and Amount in that. Now it is only letting me one entry per Expense.
I want multiple entries for one Expense say 'Advertising' for different years. I'm thinking may be I need to make more than one Table, may be one for Expenses with ExpenseID and other for Years with Year and YearID and the third one for Amount with columns Amount, Method of Payment, Date and Notes. I did tried this but I think I'm not creating proper relation may be because its only updating for one year.
Basically I have my general employee information in the tblemployee table, the workcenter information in the tblworkcenter, and the manager of the Workcenter in the tblManager. This is correct for 99% of the employee population. however, there are a few employees whose manager isn't the 'general' manager for the employees assigned workcenter.
How I can adjust an individual employees manager, while maintaining my structure? or would i have to go back and add the managers ID to a field in the tblEmployee Table?
I have a built a database to record and collate info about clinical trials that are run within my department. I have one large table [Trial Info] which contains all trial info and have created a second and third table [Milestones] & [Comments] to collect dates of various milestones and a notes that occur throughout the course of a study.
The milestones (dates) are recorded in the 2nd table and the comments are recorded in the 3rd table.
All data is entered by staff on forms. The first form captures basic info about the study, once this has been entered, the idea is to click a button to open the second form to document the trial milestones, this form also contains a subform for listing any free text comments required during the life of the study which are stored in the 3rd table.
I have setup the relationships between tables as best I can.
The main table with basic trial info is the parent table, linking the primary key to the foreign key in the second table, the foreign key of the third table is related to the primary key in the second table so these tables should be looking up the correct clinical trial as far as I can tell.
The form containing data from the main table has a button which I have set to open the Milestones & Comments form, and I have set this to open to the record that relates to the record in view in the primary form. The primary key is related to the foreign look-up key in the milestones table.
This opens the form fine, however this is not updating the foreign look-up key, this remains '0' which I assume is the cause of the following error when I try to save changes to the record
Quote:
You cannot add or change a record because a related record is require in table 'Trial Info'
How do I trigger the foreign key to update to the primary key so that the first time a milestone page is opened for a new study it creates a matching record?
I am brand new to building a database.What I want is a database to store Quote, Job and Invoicing information. We receive quotes first and then they can, but don't always, turn into jobs. We can also receive a job without quoting it. We currently have two spreadsheets. One is for Quotes and the other is for Jobs.
QUOTES INFORMATION Quote # Date Customer Name Part # Part Name Quote Due Date Qty Lead Time Price Unit
JOBS INFORMATION Job # Qty Quote # Customer Name PO# Part # Part Name Est Hours Start Date Due Date Price
As you can see a lot of the information in the Quote spreadsheet is also used in the Job spreadsheet. (Bold represents duplicated items) We currently type the information into each spreadsheet.
Then there are different forms that are filled out for quotes and jobs that contain the information in the spreadsheets.Is there a way that I can have the QUOTE Table automatically populate the JOB Table information?
I have a slight problem here with a database program I am designing. I have two excel spreadsheets, one created by one department here, and the other created by a second department.
I have the access program importing the relevant fields from both programs into 2 tables. Table 1 is the listing of employees in the company and their info (minus the location where they work). Table 2 is the listing of employees who are in this facility.
I need to prepare a report of all employees in this facility who appear on the other table.
I have a field in each table (both called F1) with the employee names.
Is there a way I can run a report in Access where it pulls all the info I need into a Report as long as the name appears in both tables F1 fields?
Even if I can create another table based on that info, and then just do a full dump to a report from that new table, that would be great.
I am not familiar with VB or SQL really, but I figure something like this would be doable, I just don't know how to go about writing it :
If Table1.F1 == Table2.F1 Then { Append Table1.* INTO NewTable3 }
Something where if the name on F1 in Table1 matches the name on F1 in Table2, it takes all the data from that record and appends it or dumps it brand new into a NewTable3..
I have a query that pulls data from the following fields in 2 different tables:
Area1FloorPrep (tblFloorPrep) ex. remove ceramic tile Area1Size (tblInstallationAreas) ex. 20 s/f, or just 20 Area2FloorPrep (tblFloorPrep) Area2Size (tblInstallationAreas)....
All the way to Area20 (Floorprep and InstallationAreas) for both tables. I have created an installer invoicing form that pulls the data from the workorder that these fields are located in, but the problem I'm having is that I don't know what kind of query to create to concatenate the data in the 20 fields and concatenate the size of the areas next to the appropriate concatenated floor prep description. Is there a way to do this without coding?
I have 2 tables with the same field names, but different data. I need to check if one person is linked to different companies.Both are linked with CompanyID. When I look for a person via the last name (field is called LastName), it should show me from both tables the rows that this person is in. how can I construct this kind of query?
P.S. I want to select all the not just a few from both tables
I have 9 seperate tables - each of the tables has similar headers
Claim # Agent Pass/Fail Request type Record Date
I have built relationships between all the tables. I am attempting have a singular query be run based on start and end dates under "record date" . I have the criteria already set. But when I run the Query no information is pulled. How do I get the query to pull this data from all 9 tables?
I want to use a Form or Report to have the end user enter say a Customer # or the Customer Last Name and then have Access pull and display that record so that the end user can than print all the saved information from that record.
I've got a query that uses a key from one table to pull back records from another.
My question is...
On the table with the key there is another field that I want to use to pull back data from the same table from above.
A bit more info...
Table one holds colleagues details Table two holds records
Within table one there are 2 different fields that hold different ID's for the same colleague, currently I run two different queries to pull all data - I want to know if I can simply run one query that will return every thing?
I have DB used for inventory for many different categories. I have a table and form for the following: Location, Printers, Pc's and many more.
What i am trying to accomplish is to have a advanced search form that will display how many pc's and there makes and model from selecting the location name or Cost center from a combo box.
So an example would be I want to select MPP-WDF from the combo box click a button and it will return the number of PC and there makes of model's and some other information in a list of records.
So I have a form, it has a few fields from a related table in it, related by the name. I click 'new' on the form, but when I click save Access complains about the related table does not have a matching record. How do I have it create a new record?
My names james, im 18 and im a data manager for a school.
My schools database stores student data such as names, classes and exam grades. I have a table containing each students personal details such as name and address. Each pupil is assigned a unique PupilID which is the primary key. I then have a number of other tables linked to it with one to many relationships. Each of these tables holds a different set of exam results. The tables are linked through PupilID. The primary keys for the other tables are auto numbers.
The problem is this: when i add a new student to the Students table i cannot get their PupilID to automatically be entered into the other tables containing grades as part of a new field. How can i make this happen?
Ok due to user error (and my own fault for not archiving an old database) we now have two databases which have had data entered into with the same table structure.
The table structure we have at the moment is with the related field in []:
Propertytbl[Propertycode] is related to Systemtbl[sysID] which is related to Assessmenttbl.
There is also another Temperaturetbl linked to Systemtbl by [sysID]
The problem i have is sysID is an autonumber. I can't simply paste in the difference in data as the assessmenttbl records and Temperaturetbl records will point to a different system (as the sysID will change in the Systemtbl data)
Can anyone think how i can do this either through using queries or programmatically so that i don't have to enter 5000 records manually.
I've tried using append queries but this produces the same affect as above.
I have a combo box in my main form that gets its list of physician names from tblPhysician. When the physician is chosen and the record saved, it saves the PhysicianID to my main table, tblOncReg.
When I delete a physician, any record that had that name chosen continues to have that name in the record despite it being deleted from tblPhysician.
I thought that setting relationships would solve it, but when I select "Enforce Referential Integrity" and "Cascade Update Related Fields", I get an error saying "Invalid field definition 'ID' in definition of index or relationship.", and it doesn't set the relationship.
Would setting the relationship solve that problem?
whats the best way of appending tbl_orders and the related data in tbl_order details to the two identical archive tables when the "COMPLETE" column is "YES" in tbl_orders
