Access table and excel sheet join - sql

I have to append latest access record to an excel sheet with headers from access table where a column in excel sheet(LAN) matches column (LAN) in access table. This is my code so far:
qry = "Select (Select Call_Date from Tel_List Where t.LAN=Tel_List.LAN And Ctrl=(Select Max(Ctrl) From Tel_List Where t.LAN=Tel_List.LAN)) From [Excel 12.0;HDR=Yes;Database=C:\Boda Boda Banja Ltd\Modules\Prototypes\UG RFIN UI 1.0.xlsm].[TEL_List$]t Inner Join Tel_List on t.LAN=Tel_List.LAN Where Ctrl=(Select Max(Ctrl) From Tel_List Where t.LAN=Tel_List.LAN)"
The code returns values but is not appended against the relevant rows. Below is the screen shot after retrieving previous call date from access table.
Is there a way to append the data against the relevant rows?

Try
Const WORKBOOK = "C:\Boda Boda Banja Ltd\Modules\Prototypes\UG RFIN UI 1.0.xlsm"
Const SQL = "SELECT e.LAN, Max(a.Call_Date) " & _
"FROM Tel_List AS a " & _
"INNER JOIN [Excel 12.0;HDR=Yes;Database=" & WORKBOOK & "].[TEL_List$] AS e " & _
"ON a.LAN = e.LAN " & _
"GROUP BY e.LAN;"

Joining on 3 csv files

I need to retrieve data from 3 different CSV files (Adres.CSV, ID.CSV and Regios.CSV) and combine this in an Excel table.
This SQL statement works fine,
StrSQL = "SELECT ID.[ID], Adres.[Naam], Adres.[Adres], Adres.[Plaats] " _
& "FROM Adres.CSV Adres INNER JOIN ID.CSV ID ON Adres.[Naam] = ID.[Naam];"
as well as
StrSQL = "SELECT Adres.[Naam], Adres.[Adres], Adres.[Plaats], Regio.[Regio] " _
& "FROM Adres.CSV Adres INNER JOIN Regios.CSV Regio ON Adres.[Plaats] = Regio.[Plaats];"
but when I combine them to
StrSQL = "SELECT ID.[ID], Adres.[Naam], Adres.[Adres], Adres.[Plaats], Regio.[Regio] " _
& "FROM Adres.CSV Adres " _
& "INNER JOIN Regios.CSV Regio ON Adres.[Plaats] = Regio.[Plaats]" _
& "INNER JOIN ID.CSV ID ON Adres.[Naam] = ID.[Naam];"
I get an error message that an operator is missing.
What am I overlooking?
There are two issues here:
You are missing a space between the 3rd and 4th lines.
JET/ACE SQL requires you to use parentheses when doing multiple joins.
This should fix the sql error you are seeing:
StrSQL = "SELECT ID.[ID], Adres.[Naam], Adres.[Adres], Adres.[Plaats], Regio.[Regio] " _
& "FROM (Adres.CSV Adres " _
& "INNER JOIN Regios.CSV Regio ON Adres.[Plaats] = Regio.[Plaats]) " _
& "INNER JOIN ID.CSV ID ON Adres.[Naam] = ID.[Naam];"
Your string ends up evaluating with ...Regio.[Plaats]INNER JOIN ID.CSV.... This lack of white space causes the sql parser to miss your second INNER JOIN .

Update or insert field from table into another table VBA sql

First this is my first post so I apologize for the layout or any other errors with presentation.
I have two tables.
tempWkEndHrs: Is created when the user selects a weekending date and their name from two comboboxs. The result is 5 fields: Name1, Task, Closed Date, Initiated Date and #xx/xx/xxxx# <--the same date as chosen by the user from the combobox to create the table. This is done to limit the number of date fields returned and built into the temp table.
The purpose of this table is so the user can populate as many values under the #xx/xx/xxxx# field/column to show/see the distribution of hours taken on tasks for that week. (its also used as a check to make sure entered values sum up as expected)
I would like to save the new values entered underfield #xx/xx/xxxx# in tempWkEndHrs to the same field #xx/xx/xxxx# in tblHrs.
tblHrs: has fields... Task , #xx/xx/xxxx#, #xx/xx/xxxx#, #xx/xx/xxxx#, #xx/xx/xxxx#, etc.. <--Same dates available within combobox.
I have having difficulty finding an example of updating multiple records from one table to another to fit my situation.
Below is my last attempt from several variations.
Dim strITEM As String
Dim strWkEnd As String
strWkEnd = Me.cmbWkEnd
strSQL = "UPDATE tblHrs SET " & _
"[" & strWkEnd & "] = [" & strWkEnd & "] " & _
"FROM tempWkEndHrs " & _
" WHERE [Task] = [Task]"
*Update 10-24-2017 5:37pm
Dim strITEM As String
Dim strWkEnd As String
strWkEnd = Me.cmbWkEnd
strSQL = "UPDATE tblHrs " & _
"SET tempWkEndHrs.[" & strWkEnd & "] = tblHrs.[" & strWkEnd & "] "& _
"FROM tempWkEndHrs " & _
" WHERE tempWkEndHrs.[Task] = tblHrs.[Task]"
Result:
UPDATE tblHrs SET tempWkEndHrs.[9/30/2017] = tblHrs.[9/30/2017] FROM tempWkEndHrs WHERE tempWkEndHrs.[TASK] = tblHrs.[TASK]
***Run-Time error '3075
***Syntax error(missing operator) in query expression 'tblHrs.[9/30/2017] FROM tempWkEndHrs'.
If this is clear as mud please let me know.

5.You don't need the FROM tblTemp clause in the SQLReplace String.
6.EDIT: As #Parfait pointed out, tblTemp does not exist in scope of the SQLReplace statement. You should do an INNER JOIN to fix that: <--AWESOME!!
strWkEnd = Me.cmbWkEnd
strSQL = "UPDATE tblHrs INNER JOIN tempWkEndHrs ON tblHrs.TASK = tempWkEndHrs.TASK SET tblHrs.[" & strWkEnd & "] = tempWkEndHrs.[" & strWkEnd & "] "
Works! >:P
I didn't receive any answers to this post so obviously I need to write better questions, I figured it was mud...Thanks for the ~21 Views ?lol.

display table data in a list box (access form)

I want display table data in a list box with this code:
Me.List_history.RowSource = "SELECT Date " & _
"FROM Leaves " & _
"WHERE CodePersonali = " & Nz(Me.CodePersonali.Value)
but the list box doesn't display anything
List_history = my list box name
Date = field name in leave table
Date is a reserved word (it's a function), so you shouldn't use it as column name. If you must, put it between square brackets [Date].
If CodePersonali is a text column, you need to put the value between ''.
That would be
Me.List_history.RowSource = "SELECT [Date] " & _
"FROM Leaves " & _
"WHERE CodePersonali = '" & Nz(Me.CodePersonali.Value) & "'"

Run time error 424 .. object required

I am getting this error in Microsoft Access:
runtime error 424 object required
And below is the VBA code that I have used on the backend of a button:
VBA Code
Private Sub Command87_Click()
If Me.phase <> "" Then
Me.lst_caseItems.RowSource = " " & _
"SELECT tbl_master.fld_masterID, " & _
"tbl_master.fld_masterActionNo AS ActionNumber, " & _
"tbl_master.fld_masterStudyActionNo AS StudyActionNo, tbl_master.fld_masterIssuedTo," & _
"tbl_master.fld_masterRev AS Rev, tbl_phases.fld_phase AS Phase, tbl_studies.fld_study AS Study, " & _
"FROM ((tbl_master LEFT JOIN tbl_studies ON tbl_master.fld_studyID = ' " & tbl_studies.fld_studyID & " ') LEFT JOIN tbl_phases ON tbl_master.fld_phaseID = ' " & tbl_phases.fld_phaseID & " ') LEFT JOIN tbl_locations ON tbl_master.fld_locationID = ' " & tbl_locations.fld_locationID & " ';"
End If
End Sub
In your current code, VBA thinks tbl_studies.fld_studyID is a variable hence asking for an object.
With your current code;
' " & tbl_studies.fld_studyID & " '
The " CLOSES the SQL statement, then your ampersand tbl_studies or etc tells VBA to add in the value of the variable tbl_studies.fld_studyID then the ampersand followed by " reopens the SQL statement within VBA (so on compile all flows as necessary). As you have no variable named studyID it looks like this is the cause of your object required.
To get around this, you either need to assign a variable to the ID you want (such as dim X as long then x = studyIDyouwanthere) or write your query correctly so it links to the studies table with field studyID. Looking at it more closely it looks like you just need to write the query properly in the VBA window so it's syntactically correct (in VBA's interpretation) try the following;
Private Sub Command87_Click()
If Me.phase <> "" Then
Me.lst_caseItems.RowSource = " " & _
"SELECT tbl_master.fld_masterID, " & _
"tbl_master.fld_masterActionNo AS ActionNumber, " & _
"tbl_master.fld_masterStudyActionNo AS StudyActionNo, tbl_master.fld_masterIssuedTo," & _
"tbl_master.fld_masterRev AS Rev, tbl_phases.fld_phase AS Phase, tbl_studies.fld_study AS Study, " & _
"FROM ((tbl_master LEFT JOIN tbl_studies ON tbl_master.fld_studyID = tbl_studies.fld_studyID) LEFT JOIN tbl_phases ON tbl_master.fld_phaseID = tbl_phases.fld_phaseID ) LEFT JOIN tbl_locations ON tbl_master.fld_locationID = tbl_locations.fld_locationID;"
End If
End Sub
When you are joining on queries in VBA you don't join based on the values of variables, you'll only be using them for your select part or having/where/group BY not on the joins.

VBA string length problem

I have an Access application where everytime a user enters the application, it makes a temp table for that user called 'their windows login name'_Temp. In one of my reports I need to query using that table, and I can't just make a query and set it as the recourdsource of the report, since the name of the table is always different.
What I tried then was to programatically set the recordset of the report by running the query and setting the form's recordset as the query's recordset. When I tried this, it kept giving me an error about the query.
I tried to debug, and I found that the string variable isn't able to contain the whole query at once. When I ran it with break points and added a watch for the string variable, it shows me that it cuts off the query somewhere in the middle.
I've experienced this problem before, but that was with an UPDATE query. Then, I just split it into two queries and ran both of them separately. This one is a SELECT query, and there's no way I can split it. Please help!
Thank you
Heres what I've tried doing:
ReturnUserName is a function in a module that returns just the login id of the user
Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Dim strQuery As String
Dim user As String
user = ReturnUserName
strQuery = "SELECT " & user & "_Temp.EmpNumber, [FName] & ' ' & [LName] AS [Employee Name], " & _
"CourseName, DateCompleted, tblEmp_SuperAdmin.[Cost Centre] " & _
"FROM (tblCourse INNER JOIN (" & user & "_Temp INNER JOIN tblEmpCourses ON " & _
user & "_Temp.EmpNumber = EmpNo) ON tblCourse.CourseID = tblEmpCourses.CourseID) " & _
"INNER JOIN tblEmp_SuperAdmin ON " & user & "_Temp.EmpNumber = tblEmp_SuperAdmin.EmpNumber" & _
"WHERE (((" & user & "_Temp.EmpNumber) = [Forms]![Reports]![txtEmpID].[Text])) " & _
"ORDER BY CourseName;"
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
Dim rsCmd As ADODB.Command
Set rsCmd = New ADODB.Command
rsCmd.ActiveConnection = CurrentProject.Connection
rsCmd.CommandText = strQuery
rs.Open rsCmd
Me.Recordset = rs
rs.Close
End Sub
This what strQuery contains when I add a breakpoint on rsCmd.CommandText = strQuery:
SELECT myusername_Temp.EmpNumber, [FName]
& ' ' & [LName] AS [Employee Name],
CourseName, DateCompleted,
tblEmp_SuperAdmin.[Cost Centre] FROM
(tblCourse INNER JOIN (myusername_Temp
INNER JOIN tblEmpCourses ON
myusername_Temp.EmpNumber = EmpNo) ON
tblCourse.CourseID=
(It's all one line, but I've written it like this because the underscores italicize the text)
And the error I get says Run Time Error: Join not Supported.
Not quite what I was hoping for, but guessing, for:
strQuery = "long query goes here"
Try:
strQuery = "some long query goes here "
strQuery = strQuery & "more query goes here "
BASED ON NEW INFORMATION:
strQuery = "SELECT " & user & "_Temp.EmpNumber, [FName] & ' ' & [LName] AS [Employee Name], " & _
"CourseName, DateCompleted, tblEmp_SuperAdmin.[Cost Centre] " & _
"FROM (tblCourse " & _
"INNER JOIN tblEmpCourses ON tblCourse.CourseID = tblEmpCourses.CourseID) " & _
"INNER JOIN (Temp INNER JOIN tblEmp_SuperAdmin " & _
"ON Temp.EmpNumber = tblEmp_SuperAdmin.EmpNumber) " & _
"ON Temp.EmpNumber = tblEmpCourses.EmpNo " & _
"WHERE " & user & "_Temp.EmpNumber = " & [Forms]![Reports]![txtEmpID] & _
" ORDER BY CourseName;"
Note that in VBA:
& [Forms]![Reports]![txtEmpID].[Text] &
That is, the reference to the form must go outside the quotes so you get the value.
NEW INFORMATION #2
Your best bet would be to add these tables to the Access query design window and create the joins that you want, then switch to SQL view and use the string generated for you. I do not believe that the string is too long, only that the SQL is incorrect. The SQL I posted above should work, but it may not be what you want.
You can programmatically create a querydef that fits the user. So, when your report is called, you
Delete LoginName_Query_Temp (CurrentDb.QueryDefs.Delete), if it already exists.
Create the querydef (CurrentDB.CreateQueryDef), using LoginName_Temp as the table name.
Set the RecordSource of your Report to LoginName_Query_Temp.
Open the report.
I don't see what purpose the table myusername_Temp serves here. Is that where the name fields are? If so, avoid the join entirely:
Dim lngEmpNumber As Long
Dim strName As String
Dim strSQL As String
lngEmpNumber = Forms!Reports!txtEmpID
strName = DLookup("[FName] & ' ' & [LName]", "myusername_Temp", "EmpNumber=" & lngEmpNumber
strSQL = "SELECT " & Chr(34) & strName & Chr(34) & " AS [Employee Name], " & _
"CourseName, DateCompleted, tblEmp_SuperAdmin.[Cost Centre] " & _
"FROM tblCourse " & _
"INNER JOIN tblEmpCourses " & _
"ON tblCourse.CourseID = tblEmpCourses.CourseID) " & _
"INNER JOIN tblEmp_SuperAdmin " & _
"ON tblEmp_SuperAdmin.EmpNumber = tblEmpCourses.EmpNo " & _
"WHERE tblEmp_SuperAdmin.EmpNumber = " & lngEmpNumber & _
" ORDER BY CourseName;"
Now, the parentheses may need to be changed in the join (I always do my equi-joins in the Access QBE and let it take care of the getting the order and parens correct!), and my assumptions about the purpose of the temp table may be wrong, but I don't see it being used for anything other than as an intermediate link between tables, so I guessed it must be there to provide the name fields.
If that's wrong, then I'm at a loss as to why the temp table needs to be there.
Also, in your second post you referred to the control on the form as:
Forms!Reports!txtEmpID.Text
...the .Text property of Access controls is accessible only when the control has the focus. You could use the .Value property, but since that's the default property of Access controls, you should just stop after the name of the control:
Forms!Reports!txtEmpID
...you'll see this is how I did it in my suggested code.
I find the idea of your name-based temp table to be highly problematic to begin with. Temp tables don't belong in a front end, and it's not clear to me that it is actually a temp table. If it's temp data, put it in a shared table and key the record(s) to the username. Then you don't have to worry about constructing the table name on the fly.
