Anyone able to help?
I want to update a specified number of records that match a criteria. If I
use an update query it alters all the records that match - I need to alter
only a variable number. Is there a way to do this?
Specifically:
I have a list of available serial numbers that will satisfy an order. Some
of those will have been previously allocated to another order, those that
have not, have 0 in a field called Allocate_To the ones that have been
allocated have an order ID in that field.
I have then a new order to allocate for a qty of (say) 10 and I therefore
need to insert the relevant order ID into 10 records.
An Update query allocates the order ID to all records where Allocate_To = 0.
How do I restrict this action to the specified number?
Hope this makes sense
TIA

Clive,
In your Update query set the Allocate_to field criteria to 0. Click anywhere in
the window that displays the objects your query is based on. A popup menu will
appear, go to the Top property and enter 10. When you run the query, the first
10 records where Allocate_To is 0 will be updated.

Thanks for prompt reply - I should have said that I am trying to do this
from a procedure fired by an OnClick action

I'm Not sure what you are meaning by your response but you can run the Update
query in the OnClick event with the code:
DoCmd.SetWarnin gs False
DoCmd.OpenQuery "NameOfYourUpda teQuery"
DoCmd.SetWarnin gs True

I imported records into a table, later found out that many of them had
trailing spaces in one of the fields. If I'd caught it sooner, I could have
trimmed the spaces before the import.
This wouldn't work (nothing changed):
UPDATE tblManuals SET tblManuals.PARTNUM = Trim();
Would someone please tell me how to do an update query that will trim the
spaces?

Hello,
I have created 3 functions to insert, update and delete an Access
database record. The Insert and the Delete code are working fine.
The update is not. I checked and my database has all the necessary
records in it when testing it. I get the error "No value given for one
or more required parameters." when I try to update the database.
Can you tell me what am I doing wrong?

Hello PHP programmers.
I had a brilliant idea on one of my pages that selects some data from

I first set the page up to display some info and an image, just one
item, with a row of data, etc.
then I thought it would be nice to do a select, and perhaps an update
(the title of the image) on the same page.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
