Archive records via command button (append to different table within database)

5 New Member
Hi,

I am looking to use a button on an issues database that will allow me to archive issues that are closed, once all of the information has been updated. In this sense, I want the issue to be available for final input after it has been "closed", and use a command button to "delete" it (append the record to a table called ArchiveIssues and remove it from the table called Issues).

Can you please advise what my options are to facilitate the archiving process?

Hi,

It seems to me that you don't need two tables, you just need a field in the Issues table that determines if a record is archived or not. Then the underlying query for any forms/reports you write just check for this field and don't include those records.

That's good advice Cara.

Can you explain more clearly what you're after though? I'm not sure what you're having difficulty with. Is it actually implementing the concept you already seem to understand pretty well?

Hi there, I having a problem with a database I'm setting up, I would be delighted if someone out there could help. The database I'm setting up is a task register datebase, it will be used to create work schedules for workers in a metal work shop, based on the tasks required to make a part and the tasks required to make the subcomponents of the part.

I have a temp table that is created when data is imported from a text file. The data is of a certain student population. I also have 10 different Access tables that are named according to the 10 types of student groups that could be in the temp table.

I am trying to design a Call Log Detail form that will allow users, in a multi-user environment, to select various data/records, not necessarily in sequential order, from a subform that will, when the parent form is closed, append the selected records to a historical table. In this particular case, a multi-select list box will not work because the users have requested the ability to view details or query additional information about the...

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,...
