I want to extract a subset of fields from one table into another
the master table has many fields
the subset has about half, but still many.
Is there a way I can just append the master into the subsets structure and
this way only the existing fields in the destination will be filled?
That would be great, but it seems that the append query wants you to specify
the fields.
is there another way around this?
I want to do it in code and it seems the sql string will be too long.
I remember you could do this in dbase I think.
Thanks in advance 2 1848
In the Append Query you can specify which fields from the source you want to
append. Long shouldn't be a problem. Create the query in the query design
grid then change to SQL view and copy and paste into your code. You can run
the query from code by assigning the SQL to a string variable then executing
it.
Example:
CurrentDb.Execu te strSQL, dbFailOnError

If you have a table that contains the fields you want to append data
to(subset table). You design a query using your master table as the data
source for the query. Add (Double-click or select and drag) "only" the
fields you want to update in your subset table, to the design grid. On the
main menu select the Query/Append Query option. You'll be prompted to
select the table you want to append the data to. Select your subset data
table. If the field names of both table's are the same the names will
probably be automatically placed in the Append To row in the design grid.
If not select the field you want to append to. Run the query. Hope I
understood what you are trying to accomplish.

For each run of my app, I have a known set of (<100) wafer names.
Names are sometimes simply integers, sometimes a short string, and
sometimes a short string followed by an integer, e.g.:
5, 6, 7, 8, 9, bar, foo_6, foo_7, foo_8, foo_9, foo_10, foo_11
I need to read user input of a subset of these. The user will type a

may also be sequences indicated by a dash...

Below is an earlier post to an Excel Group..
....but I thought that there might be a way to do this in Access
by importing data and then creating append and/or update query. I would
most certainly need to use the right type of table join and criteria in
the query to perform the task, and don't find myself an expert or up to
par as far as I'm concerned.

Hello all.
I have a couple of aspx pages. When something fails in them, I would like
them to be able to log to either a database, a logfile, or the application
log. All code is in C#
I run into permissions problems straigh away though. To log to the event
log, you need Administrator privileges. So followed MS example how to
sandbox sensitive and secure code.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
