How Do I Create An Update Query In Access 2003
I currently have a subform that displays a select query. I want to update all the records of Table B that are showing in the subform with information from the form. The subform is not necessary. I was just using it to make sure my select query was displaying correctly. Table A has 3 columns (OID, Project_Number, Landowner) Table B has 4 columns (OID, PhoneNum, Address, Year) These tables have a one to many relationship. One OID in Table A relates to many in Table B Table A 1 A10 Bill 2 B10 Sally 3 A10 Bill Table B 1 555 123 blah st 2012 1 2013 2 111 456 aaa st 2012 3 2012 The form allows the user to enter information that populates Table B. The subform displays a list of records where Project_Number, Landowner, and Year are equal to the record showing on the form For example.
If the form is showing 1 A10 Bill the subform is showing 1 A10 Bill 2012 3 A10 Bill 2012 When I click a save command button I would like it to run the update query but I'm having issues with the SQL command. My Select query is as follows: SELECT B.Project_Number, A.LANDOWNER, B.Year FROM A INNER JOIN B ON A.OBJECTID = A.OBJECTID; The subform is setup Link Child Fields: Project_Number; Year; Landowner Link Master Fields: B.Project_Number; Year; A.Landowner I would like: UPDATE B.PhoneNum, B.Address, B.Year WHERE items found in my subform WITH information from my form Is it easier to forget the subform and do it all through a single update query? UPDATE B SET B.phonenum = [New_Info]![PhoneNumCtrl], B.Address = [New_Info]![AddressCtrl] WHERE [A]![Landowner] = The same landowner as the OID selected, [A]![Project_Number] = The same project number as the OID selected, [New_Info]![Year] = [B]![Year] Thanks in advance for any help! Everything is working now. I wanted to add to djphatic's answer. When doing this make sure to add [Forms]![formname]![controlname].

Note: This article doesn’t apply to Access web apps – the kind of database you design with Access and publish online. In this article Overview Here are the similarities and differences between Find and Replace and an update query: Like the Find and Replace dialog box, an update query lets you specify which value is being replaced, and what the new value is. Unlike the Find and Replace dialog box, an update query lets you: • Use criteria that do not depend on the value that you want to replace.
• Update lots of records in one pass. • Change records in more than one table at the same time. Restrictions on fields that can be updated An update query cannot be used to update data in the following types of fields: • Calculated fields The values in calculated fields do not permanently reside in tables. They only exist in your computer's temporary memory after Access calculates them. Because calculated fields do not have a permanent storage location, you cannot update them.
• Fields from a totals query or a crosstab query The values in these types of query are calculated, and therefore cannot be updated by an update query. • AutoNumber fields By design, the values in AutoNumber fields change only when you add a record to a table. • Fields in unique-values queries and unique-records queries The values in such queries are summarized. Some of the values represent a single record, and others represent more than one record. The update operation is not possible because it is not possible to determine what records were excluded as duplicates, and therefore not possible to update all the necessary records. This restriction applies whether you use an update query or try to update data manually by entering values in a form or a datasheet. • Fields in a union query You cannot update data from fields in a union query because each record that appears in two or more data sources only appears once in the union query result.
