I am trying to combine two peculiar tables in Microsoft Access and have been unable to do so even after doing a lot of brainstorming and searching on the internet.
The two tables are spend and export

I have two table with the same key field. However, in one table it is a text field while the other is a number.
I created a query from the table with the numeric key and converted it to text using the str() function. When the query is run, the values appear, left justified as if they are text.
However, when I create another query using the first query and the other table, I get no records out even though there are matching key field values in both tables (there are no leading zero problems).
I have two tables: products and orders.I would like to query the products only with orders using the product code and/or model number and join up all product and order information for further manipulation.
I have two tables with name of accone and the second with the name of acctwo. These two tables are same according to number of columns and also same according to data types and also same according to the column names just the data are difference and also one column (attribute) with the name of ID is same in both tables. Their is a primary key relationship (one-to-one) between these two IDs. I need a query that can combine the data of both of them and can be updated using query. I mean that data of first table and second table must become under one same column not two columns one for first table and second one for second tabel.
I have a table called MiscORders where all the orders are tracked. There is an ID, order number , other fields and ParentorderID fields in it. Whenever an order is modified they create a new order with ordernumber and have the previous order number as the parent. The next time it is amended or closed another order is created with the parent order attached. Here is some sample data
Order ID OrderNum Parent order id 1 MISC 2013-10 2 MISC 2013-10A MISC 2013-10 3 MISC 2013-10B MISC 2013-10
Now I am creating a query that shows the lifecycle of the order
MISC 2013-10 Issue and deadline date MISC 2013-10A issue and deadline date MISC 2013-10B issue and deadline date.I tried to create a query using self joins to the same table. SQL is attached
SELECT MISCORDER.OrderNum, MISCORDER.[Date Issued], MISCORDER.[Deadline Date], MISCORDER_1.OrderNum FROM MISCORDER LEFT JOIN MISCORDER AS MISCORDER_1 ON MISCORDER.OrderNum = MISCORDER_1.RescindedOrderID WHERE (((MISCORDER.OrderNum) Not Like '*A' And (MISCORDER.OrderNum) Not Like '*B' And (MISCORDER.OrderNum) Not Like '*C' And (MISCORDER.OrderNum) Not Like '*D') AND ((MISCORDER_1.OrderNum) Not Like '*B'));
How can I put a condition on the table to show only records with order num ending with A. It is not working if i use it in the where condition..
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));
I am undertaking an analysis of corporate mobile phone data based on data from the phone provider. The base data consists of a number of monthly text files at transaction level for voice calls, data usage, billing/tariff information, international calls/transfers etc. I have set up VBA code to import the text file data into a number of Access tables.I would like to have a way of joining these tables but the only common field is the phone number (a text field with the groups of numbers separated by hyphens).
I confirmed that joining the tables on the phone number text field does not work.My idea was to create an additional table with just one row for each phone number and link that to the other tables by the ID in the new table. I was able to create this table [PhoneNumbers] (by creating a totals query of the phone numbers from the main call transactions table, I then dumped it into Excel and then imported it into a new Access table with an auto-generated ID column).My problem / challenge is how to get the ID column from my [PhoneNumbers] table to appear in each of the other tables so that I can join them effectively. In the Excel-world, I would have used a vlookup function.I even thought of performing this as an interim step in Excel but there are too many records / rows in some of my tables. It seems that the dlookup function is not what Im looking for and even if the IIF function is suitable, I cannot get the syntax to work for me.
We are a non-profit that does blind mailings for our membership drive. The company who we buy names and addresses from sends us a delimited file that has these fields as the headings
" ID, FULLNAME,COMPANY, ADR1, ADR2, CITY, STATE, ZIP, FIPS"
Once they send out the mailings, people then send in back a remit slip with a contribution that gets scanned through a program that creates a file that gives us these titles
"ALT ID, AMOUNT PAID, RUN DATE, TENDER, FUND, PURPOSE, SOLICITATION, MEMBERSHIP QUESTION, MEMBER TYPE, CONSTITUENT TYPE, SEGMENT"
The "ALT ID" and "ID" are the same in both tables.
I need to find a way to merge the tables and combine the fields that have the same ID # , and then have it create a csv file that reads like this (see below) for only the files of the people that responded so that I can import it into our membership software.
And then called this join as a symbol or variable, and then have it use to select the items from these joined tables, can this be done in Access? Here is an example of a code that I created, but it has an error message saying the FROM syntax is incorrect.
Code: SELECT firstJOIN.trainID, firstJOIN.trainName, firstJOIN.stationID, firstJOIN.stationName, firstJOIN.distance_miles, firstJOIN.time_mins FROM (trains INNER JOIN ((station INNER JOIN lineStation ON station.stationID = lineStation.stationID) INNER JOIN bookingLeg ON bookingLeg.startID = station.stationID or bookingLeg.endID = station.stationID ) ON trains.trainID = bookingLeg.tid) as firstJOIN
Can Access do something similar to this, in the FROM statement I joined 4 tables, because each unique fields are in each table and I have to joined them to get those fields. I called this join firstJOIN and in the SELECT statement, I list those columns in the table by calling it firstJOIN.trainID. Can Access do something like this, but syntax it differently?
Now that i have read this again, i think it could be summed up into one question...if i have a form based off a query with an outer join that has various duplicate records, is there a way to use the recordset in an if statement that says something like if this recordID = that recordID then dont show one of them...hence not showing the duplicate field data in the form.If you want a more specific description of the problem, read on, otherwise don't read on.Hi All,So I hope I can explain this ok....here goes....I have a search using dynamic queries: I have a form where the user can put in various information he wants to search to find a record. In this case it is searching for Hotels. So the user can search a country to see all of the hotels in that country. Also, the user can search an interest like Beach or Nature to see those hotels that apply. Obviously each hotel may have more than one interest so I have a 1-many relationship with a table called Hotels_Interests.The kicker, and you can likely already see why, is that the user does not have to fill out every search field. He may search Country&Interest, or just one or the other, or leave everything blank to see all hotels in the database. The results are simply ordered by HotelID or something like that in a form that is based off the dynamic query. The dynamic query is of course just based off the query i explained, but with criteria added in.The problem is with the query that i am basing this search off of. Right now it has the main Hotels table as well as the 1-Many table Hotels_Interests and even another that is 1-Many Hotels_HotelTypes (say All Inclusive, Resort, etc.). So this query has various 1-Many tables as well as the main Hotels. Now, if i fill in all of those fields in the search form, there will obviously not be any duplicates returned, which is super. But if i leave Hotel_HotelTypes search field blank, i will be returned with the same hotel twice or more times, which is my problem, because i want nice search results.I have heard of people using Union queries to get rid of duplicates but this obviously does not solve my problem as i do not want to just get rid of these entries. What i think i want is some VBA method or whatever of showing in my search results each HotelID that meets the search criteria only one time.Right now i have it working with If statements that say if the user has left a specific search criteria blank then base the search off a different query. This is obviously crazy and is only a temp fix. Now that i want three or more 1-many tables in my query, i would be talking about if statements for like 6 or more queries, insane.I apologize for the length of this, but i wanted to be perfectly clear. I feel like it should be not too hard, like using a record set for the form and not showing certain records or something, but i am not sure how to do it.Thanks so much. Dillon
Okay - the other database is in the works and is going sloooow (the one that is being created with normalization).
Meanwhile, my other database that has no normalization I am having a problem running a query (now I know why its so important to have good structure).
To give you an idea on how bad this is...:o .....
3 tables - 94 fields to each table - each table has identicle fields, just different data. :eek:
Anyways, I have students in each table (each table is an Annual Report). I want to be able to run a simple query and combine all the students into one.
How would I achieve this?
Thank you!
And for all who are thinking about designing a database - READ READ READ and do some more reading on normalization!!!
I have created a database which holds architectural drawings for my company. The drawings have a number (dwgNumber), a name (dwgTitle) and a revision (dwgRevision). Each number should only have one title but cannot be unique as they can have several revisions. I am looking for a way to allow the users of the database to only enter a drawing title for a drawing number once. This is because if more than one person is accessing the front end at a time, they may use the same drawing number for different drawings.
For Example:
----THIS IS FINE Number: A001 Title: Drawing 1 Revision: P1 Number: A001 Title: Drawing 1 Revision: P2
----THIS IS NOT OK Number: A001 Title: Drawing 1 Revision: P1 Number: A001 Title: Drawing 2 Revision: C1
Basically, each number can only have one title assigned to it.
I have a report to run that gathers info from three tables. If I make individual queries to get the information I need the three queries gather the correct information. If I make one query it makes duplicates. If I combine the three queries that work the main query mixes up the information and duplicates it. How do you make a query that gets information from three tables and not have it be garbled?
HELP!!! :confused: I do have a 5 tables 4 tables do have a foreign key of the main table. I join the 4 tables with the main table but when I am editing the information I cannot edit it. and no error appears. so I am just wondering what happen with my joined tables? please help me!!!!Thank you in advance
How do I join two tables. I have a table and a lookup table. My table has products on there that are listed as custom or basic. I have a look up table that has an ID for basic and Custom. In my table, i want it to read what the id is for each product instead of it reading "basic" or custom. Someone said that I need to join the two tables and do an update query, but I don't understand how to.
That is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer with VBA Programming and the outrageous errors, Or to take up arms against a sea of Access troubles.
Sorry I was in the mood for Shakespeare.
A quick summary first: In the attached file I have my Relationships. One main table, Workorders with various one-to-many relationships back to their respective tables. If you look at the attachment and see a field with 'wrk' that's my foreign key.
What I'm trying to do is this: Where-ever there is a 'wrk' field I want to add in all the fields (minus the ID Primary Key) into the main Workorders Form.
Then on the form itself I should just be able to enter in the data that is required for the fields.
So here's what I'm thinking for the coding is to Join the various tables to thlet me know if I'm on track or not. I'll start with a small one, because if I can get that right, the rest should be simple.
SELECT Model.ComputerID, Make.ComputerID FROM Computer INNER JOIN wrkComputerID ON Model.ComputerID = Make.ComputerID;
there must be a way to do this, but i haven't been able to figure it out yet...
table one has three fields i need to be concerned with, member_ID, range_start, and range_end. no part of any range spanning range_start through range_end will be duplicated.
table two has several fields i need, but the field of primary concern is a person_ID that will fall somewhere within a range designated in the first table.
how in the world can i join these tables, since none of the IDs in the second table are actually listed in the first, but fall in between values?
i need to get member_ID from table one, person_ID and several other fields from table two.
i have 2 tables, A and B A table StockDate Price 02/04/2001 1.12 04/05/2001 1.15 14/08/2002 1.14 18/09/2003 1.26 and so on 1.48 up to 2005
B Table StockDate Price 02/04/2003 1.12 04/05/2003 1.15 14/08/2003 1.14 18/09/2004 1.26 and so on 1.48 up to 2005
i like to know how to write codes to join 2 tables into 1 table like C Table StockDate Price 02/04/2001 1.12 04/05/2001 1.15 14/08/2002 1.14 18/09/2003 1.26 02/04/2003 1.12 --> B Table 04/05/2003 1.15 14/08/2003 1.14 18/09/2004 1.26 and so on 1.48
I have two tables - one is a Master. I want to delete the records in the Master if they are in the second table. Here's my SQL and I can't get it to work:
DELETE from TestMaster INNER JOIN on JoinedDupList ON TestMaster.ID=JoinedDupList.ID WHERE JoinedDupList.ID = TestMaster.ID
I'm being told I need to define the table to delete from... I thought I defined it.
