I have a table where I have 5 columns, (BatteryL1, BatteryL2, BatteryR1, BatteryR2 and BatterySize).I want to update BatterySize, with a value if any one of the above listed columns contains a specific value using something like 'LIKE' in the query.
For example:
UPDATE Customers
SET BatterySize=13
WHERE BatteryL1 LIKE '%13%'

I'm trying to run about 300 update statements and keep getting a syntax error of missing operator... what could be wrong?
UPDATE Applicants set [NBCC ID] = '351174' where SSN = '136861387'

Hi,
I am going to be creating a iif statement update qery, to update a column on dates, E.g. would be....
IIf([FinMonth] between 01/01/2008 and 31/01/2008,1)iif([FinMonth] between 01/02/2008 and 30/02/2008,2)iif(etc etc
2 questions??
1) Is 12 nested iif's statements are allowed within one IIF statement?
2) iS THERE AN EASIER WAY TO DO THIS??
Hope this explains enough.

Hi everyone,
I am writing a query that is master-detail in principal. But need other data from other 2 tables. I wonder if I can construct the query so that it contains the result set of more than one SQL statement. Thank you for your kindly help.

I have a query that I just can't figure out. We are a facility that works on rail cars. We have over 200 cars in house at the moment and the database has a daily production report in it with the status of all of the cars.
I need a query that will pull out the "AAAA" and "XXXX" cars from the list only IF the cleaning field or the mechanical inspection or BOTH fields are blank.
Given a table field that is a hyperlink type.
I need an Update Query to set all records of that table so that the Displayed Value part of the hyperlink field (not the Address part) is set to a particular value.
Any ideas how?
Thanks.

I have a query which works fine for one if statement, but i neewd to have 10, whats the best way of sorting this, can it be done in one query, or should i use a module or should i use the code?
my if statements are as follows:
IIf([eventcode]="n204",[totaltime]-[totalcipstd],0)
IIf([eventcode]="n301",[totaltime]-[totalPaststd],0)
IIf([eventcode]="X117",[totaltime]-[totalMaintstd],0)
etc....
can someone please help me sort this...
a problem may be that the list of eventcodes may increase... again whats the best way to sort this.

I would like to update a lot of fields in my tables; about 120 different fields in 12 different tables. I would however like to keep it simple by using the SQL editor in MS Access by writing all the UPDATE queries and leave them to run while I do smething else. It seems to me however that you can only run one query at a time using the SQL editor. I thought I could separate one SQL editor from the other by using semicolon as in Oracle SQL editor etc., but that does not seem to work. Does anybody know how to do this in Access without writing a VBA code etc.?

I have a list of projects and I need to display their status (Red or Green) in a text box.
My fields are [PercentComplete],[StartDate],[EndDate],[ReportDate]
There are two ways a project could have a red status.
1. [PercentComplete] < 100 AND [ReportDate] < [EndDate]
OR
2. [PercentComplete]<100 AND IsNull([EndDate])
There is one way it could have a green status:
[PercentComplete] = 100 AND Not IsNull([StartDate])
This is the best I could come up with for the Iif statement, but I get "invalid argument" which I suspect relates to the AND portion.
Code:
Iif([PercentComplete] < 100 AND [ReportDate] < [EndDate], "Red",
[PercentComplete]<100 AND IsNull([EndDate]),"Red",
[PercentComplete] = 100 AND Not IsNull([StartDate]),"Green","")))
I'm having problems with quotation marks in a sql statement. The string is an array separated by a semicolon.
120/80;70;5'6";125
this string represents patient vitals. I'm using the string to update a record. But I get hung up with the quotation mark.
I've tried: 120/80;70;5''6'"';125 which is a enclosing the quotation mark with apostrophies, but this does not seem to work. The sql still gets hung up. My sql statment looks something like:
original string: 120/80;70;5'6";125
strPreOpVits = "120/80;70;5''6'"';125"
mysql = "UPDATE mytable SET PreOpVits = '" & strPreOpVits & "' " & _
"WHERE nID = " & myRecID
docmd.runsql mysql
I've narrowed it down to the quotation marks and I'm unsure how to handle these. I get a runtime 3075 - Syntax Error.
Here is the code that I use to convert the original string
Public Function FixQuotesInSql(strToFix As String)
Dim lgth, y As Long
Dim strTemp, char2Add As Variant
'This routine fixes the use of apostrophe and quotation marks in an SQL sequence
'If the apostrophe is at the beginning or end of the string it replaces with 3 x "'" or "'''"
'If in the middle of the string then replaces with 2 x "'" or "''"

I am trying to update and insert records with SQL statements. Below my code:

I've a nice formula which work the majority of the time, the only time this doesn't work is Bank Holidays. Is there a way to build on this:
>=Date()-IIf(Weekday(Date(),2)<2,4,2) And <=Date()-1
The above simply runs a report for the last working day, expect if today is a Monday then it runs Fri-Sun.
Im assuming if I know the dates of the Bank Holidays I could hardcode them into the beginning with multiple IIF statement followed by the one above??
I am trying to get the output of several nested IIF expressions to show in only one filed in the table created. The output needs to be captured in a table. I am staring with create table to get it to work before I go ahead and use the sql to update the original table (the table the data is from)
I can get each to run fine independently and the whole thing runs too, the issue is it wants to put each expression in a new column, thus it is forcing me to label the expression.
Can I change this to only output in one column or add some more sql to do so?
Here is the SQL (table and filed names have been changed to protect the innocent)
BTW, I cannot change the Table the data comes from, I am stuck with the single table structure (BOO).

Hi,
I'm building a DB where I have multiple users. I would like to have all data in 1 table but only give access to records created by the individual user. Is this possible?
Alternatively, if each user has it's own table, how can I report on the sum of all tables.:confused:
Cheers,
Rene
I have what I think is a difficult problem to overcome...
I am designing a form to create an invoice. The user will select a workstream and a date range in form frmInvByHrs. Within this I want two sub-forms, one is frmInvByHrsTsht and the other is frmInvByHrsBill. I want the first one to display all the staff and their hours done, and the second one to be in data entry mode where you can enter the hours you want to bill. Each sub-form is based on a separate query.
Is it possible to do this? ie. to have one sub-form in data entry mode, and the other not? It seems to me that the data entry mode is controlled by the MAIN form regardless of the sub-form settings!
If this is not possible, do you know how I can acheive this?
Thanks

I need to get an average repair price of multiple part numbers with the same root number i.e.
8 each 8TJ124GGN1
4 each 8TJ124GGM1
7 each 8TJ124GGP1
First I used a query to average the repair price of each subset of numbers, and then queried the query to average all the subset prices together.
If I simply use the AVG function in the first query, I can use it again in the second query to get the average price of all the subset price averages. HOWEVER, if I use the expression:
AdjustedAvgLabor: Int((Sum([LaborPrice])-Max([LaborPrice])- Min([LaborPrice]))/(Count([LaborPrice])-2))
…to get a more accurate average by throwing out the high and low values, I get a:
“…expression too complicated to be evaluated”
when I try to average the averages in the second query using the AVG function.
I don’t know why the expression is “too complicated” since the first query has already completed its computations before the second query begins its AVG function.
Hello everyone! I am constantly have to change a field, called Product_Code, that resides on multiple tables. To change the field I have to run a series of 9 update queries. I'm looking for a way for all these updates to occur at the press of one button on a form. So I would set my criteria using fields on the form that correspond to the appropriate fields on the query and when I press the button all the updates would occur. My question is what is the best way to go about programming this form and is a form my best option to accomplish my goal. I hope I have explained this thoroughly enough...if not I am more than willing to answer any and all questions in order to get this task automated. Thanks everyone.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHello,
Was wondering if there is a way without building individual update queries, to update info in one field that has multiple criteria ?
Basically I need to change/update daily multiple ID numbers to new ID numbers, long story on why this needs to be done but for now I need to do it this way.
Example: 12345 update to ABCDE, 6789 update to FGHI, etc. These ID's are all within the same field in the table.
It works fine running each ID one at a time but was wondering if it is possible to do all these updates within one query or code ?
Thanks for any assistance
I have one table, I want to update multiple fields in that Table with values.Currently I have on update query for each update.So for exampleRows: Commercial Quotes, Cover Notes, Personal QuotesWill have the values: Yes, No, Yes in them.I need to update those fields, if they say Yes to Commercial Quotes, Cover Notes or Personal Quotes depending on the field obviously. And blank them out if it says No.Currently I have 30+ different queries I have to click individually one after the other to update each row. I was wondering if theres a quicker way of doing this all in one hit.I have a tiny bit of SQL knowledge.So one of the queries I've figured out I've converted to SQL but again it only updates one instance...UPDATE Enabler_Data SET Enabler_Data.[Commercial Quotes] = "Commercial Quotes" WHERE (((Enabler_Data.[Commercial Quotes]) = "YES"));I tried whacking an OR replacing the ; and repeating that statment replacing Commercial Quotes with Cover Notes but it errored out on me.This is where I get completely stuck and my meagre knowledge fails me so any help would be useful.Thanks in advanceMatt

I run an update query that does what it is supposed to do and gives the proper values.
THEN I add a one more field to the source with the builder using + that has no data in it yet, the query fails and gives blanks, even though one of the fields in the source has data in it.
I would think that the "no data" field would be considered 0.00 value and be added together to the field that has values giving at least the value of the field with values as a result of the query.
Is there a setting somewhere that I need to change so that the no value and the value would be combined? I am using the builder to combine the values in the query.
Thanks.
Hi everyone,
I have refined my query from previous threads to involved a module function. This calculates more acurately no of working days between dates and takes into account a holidays table. (All credit to Arvin Meyer on the module:) )
However because the Leave Year starts at the 1 July and finishes 30 Jun I need to compose the date for any current year Year(Now())
Enclosed scrdmp shows my query design. I can easily get it to work as you see it, but obviously as each year rolls over, the year needs to change.
Have looked at many posts but can't find what I'm looking for. This one will get me over the hurdle.
Many thanks,
In access Im working with two tables, this is my setup
tableA.documentnr
tableA.revison
tableB.documentnr
tableB.revision
Both tables are filled with data, Table B contains the same kind of data as table A, But tableA has documentnumbers with different revisions (for example revision a,b,c, for each revision a seperate row). Table B might have an identical document, but just one revision (like revision a).
Now I like to append the data of tableA to tableB, except if a revision is similiar to a revision in table A. (There is more metadata involved, but I will do it step by step)
Im not working with primarykey data, becayse in the end result table B will also have multiple (identical)document numbers with different revisions on different rows.
I tried to use the update query but it doenst append the documentnumbers where the revision is not present in table B I attached a image of the tables.
I need to update the periodtype field in my table depending on different values in the field Formtype- I am looking to do this without having to use VBA. I have the following fields in a table - I want to update the value of the field Period_type as follows -
When Formtype is 10-Q, update Periodtype to "Quarterly"
When Formtype is 10-K, update Periodtype to "Annual"
The current value of Periodtype for both formtypes is "Semiannual"
Can I do this using only update query?
I'm running an update query that's based on a select query (that runs some calculations). The update query is updating ALL the rows that should be updated with the information in the select query with data from the final row in the select query, and not on a per ID basis as I think I have it set-up to do. The data looks correct in the update query, but again it's not coming out right.
Here's the SQL for what I've written so far:
UPDATE [Customer_Data Query], Customer_Data INNER JOIN Baseline ON Customer_Data.ID = Baseline.ID SET Baseline.[Unit Hours] = [Customer_Data]![Dur_Days]*[Customer_Data]![Dur_Hours]*[Customer_Data]![Number_Units], Baseline.Availability = [Customer_Data]![Perceived_Avail], Baseline.[Hours Available] = [Customer_Data]![Dur_Days]*[Customer_Data]![Dur_Hours]*[Customer_Data]![Number_Units]*[Customer_Data]![Perceived_Avail],
[Code] ....
I've also tried to force the update to the proper row by adding a criteria based on ID.
Select query, here it is:
SELECT Customer_Data.ID, Customer_Data.Data_Set_Version, Customer_Data.Number_Units, Customer_Data.Perceived_Avail, Customer_Data.MTTR_MTBF, Customer_Data.MT_TR_OR_BF_Hours, Customer_Data.Utilization, Customer_Data.Percent_Scheduled, Customer_Data.Sched_Percent_of_PM, Customer_Data.Sched_PM_Duration, Customer_Data.Sched_CBM_Duration, Customer_Data.Sched_CBM_From_PM, Customer_Data.React_Detect, Customer_Data.React_Rework, Customer_Data.React_False_Alarms,
