Update Set Statement problems

41 New Member
Everything I read indicates the following statement should work. What happens is that any field after the where clause gets treated as a parameter by Access. Even if I supply the data the query fails. Any ideas? Thanks, Patti
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. UPDATE teacherresources SET teacherresources.Strudent_enroll = strudent_enroll/(SELECT sum(enroll_data) FROM enrollment WHERE teacherresources.trSchool_id = enrollment.erSchool_id and year='2007-2008')*(SELECT sum(enroll_data) FROM enrollment WHERE teacherresources.trSchool_id = enrollment.erSchool_id and year='2008-2009')
  2. WHERE (((teacherresources.tryear)='2008-2009') AND ((teacherresources.trschoolid)=13));

What is the whack "/" after "strudent_enrol l on the first line? Also, usually when you get a prompt for a parameter like that, it's because you've misspelled a word in the string. Do you really have a field named "strudent"? Next to this, I'd suggest pulling the fields into a query grid to get the SQL straight for Access as its version of SQL can be a little different than ANSI.

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

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
