I have a parent record with a child record.
The parent record contains structures and the child records contains
visits to those structures.
Each table has a field named "Complete", what I want is the structure
'complete' to be changed to true when ANY of the visits have been
completed.
I have tried to implement SQL to do this, but it gives me the error
"Syntax Error (Missing Operator)..." when I try and save the query. I
have searched through the forums and couldn't find anything relevent to
this.
My SQL code (the error is on the last line i think):
UPDATE 4ptTable, 5vTable
SET 4ptTable.ptComp lete = -1
WHERE 4ptTable.ptKey = 5vTable.vptKey And 5vTable.vComple te = -1
Where 4ptTable is the parent table (structures), 5vTable is the child
table (visits), ptComplete is the field I wish to update (with the
value -1 [true]), ptkey is the primary key and vptKey is the foriegn
keym vComplete is whether the visit is complete.
? Am I right in thinking I need the primary key to be equal to the
foreign key - otherwise it will update all records in the recordset.
? I may also need to change this so that the parent record will change
only when ALL the child records are completed - any ideas.
I'm hoping that it is just my basic SQL code that is wrong...
grr, why can't SQL be as intinctive as VBA!

You could probably do it by using a subquery and including the square
brackets around the names that start with a number:
UPDATE [4ptTable] SET [4ptTable].ptComplete = True
WHERE ([4ptTable].ptComplete = False)
AND EXISTS (SELECT vptKey FROM [5vTable]
WHERE ([5vTable].vptKey = [4ptTable.ptKey])
AND ([5vTable].vComplete = True));
However, I question whether the ptComplete field is justified.
If it should *always* be True if any related record is True,
then it is dependent data, and should not be stored.

been ruminating on the question (mostly in a 390/v7 context) of
whether, and if so when, a row update becomes an insert/delete.
i assume that there is a threshold on the number of columns of
the table, or perhaps bytes, being updated where the engine just
decides, screw it, i'll just make a new one.
surfed this group and google, but couldn't find anything.

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?

Question / Statement - Every mdb table needs a PrimaryKey ( or maybe an

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