Copy data to another query

Are there anyway to copy rows of records from one query to another
query and then hide the records in source query ? Pls advise. Thanks.

Regards,
Daniel

re: Copy data to another query

Create a query that joins the two queries and set the appropriate criteria and
you have essentially copied records from one query to another.

re: Copy data to another query

Records don't live in queries, they live in tables. Queries are just a view
of selected records. So the way to change which of the two queries displays
those records is to change whatever value it is that determines which query
displays the records.

For example, if you have two queries, one of which displays records WHERE
SomeField = 'X' and the other displays records WHERE SomeField = 'Y', then
you change the query that displays a particular record by changing the value
of SomeField in that record from 'X' to 'Y'.

re: Copy data to another query

Brendan, do you mean just swap the value of Somefield from one query
to another after i create a new query that comprise of the 2 sub
queries ?

re: Copy data to another query

No. You can not swap a value from one query to another, because a query does
not contain any values.

To change which records are displayed in a query, you have two choices - you
can change the data (which lives in the table, not in the query), so that it
meets the criteria of a different query, or you can change the SQL statement
that defines the query. Following on from my previous example, if QueryA
displays all records WHERE SomeField = 'X', while QueryB displays all
records WHERE SomeField = 'Y', and I want to change that around, I could do
it as follows ...

Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef

Set db = CurrentDb
Set qdf = db.QueryDefs("QueryA")
qdf.SQL = "SELECT * FROM SomeTable WHERE SomeField = 'Y'"
Set qdf = db.QueryDefs("QueryB")
qdf.SQL = "SELECT * FROM SomeTable WHERE SomeField = 'X'"

I might be able to offer a clearer explanation if I had more information -
are we really talking about displaying queries directly, or are we talking
about data displayed in form controls, such as combo boxes or list boxes,
based on those queries? This would, in my experience, by a much more common
requirement - filter one combo box or list box based on the item selected in
another, or allow a user to choose items from one list box and display those
choices in another. Is that what we're talking about here?

re: Copy data to another query

HI Brendan

Yes i would like to display my data on a form. I would like if i
click on a check box then the record would be copied to another table
and source record would disappeared.

Daniel
