related data needs 'moved' to different relationship

I have a problem and can't get clear enough to figure it out.

2 tables in my database are related to each other.

table1 = contacts
table2 = Jobs

both are a 1to1 relation, using the standard ID fields to relate to.

now, each contact holds 1 specific job. Each contact has information associated with it. and it's related to the appropriate job (table2)

but 1 of the contacts has just decided he didn't like the job he was doing, and wants to do another job.

(the old way) I would delete him out of contacts, and create a new contact related to table2.

Is there a way to 'move' the relation of a contact from 1 job(table2) to another Job(table2) by way of a query?

Sure... use an UPDATE statement.
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. UPDATE Jobs SET Job = 'Garbage Man' WHERE [Standard ID] = 'XXXXX'
  2.

It would be easier to give you a good answer if you included the tables their fields/types itemised with an indication of which are the keys in the above description. Not every field, but the important ones.

Your definition of
standard ID fields
may be different to mine.

I am trying to filter records in a primary form based on records in related tables. The data in the related tables is being displayed in the primary form through subforms. To be more specific, I have a primary form named TestResults, which is connected to data in a table named TestResults. There are basically two other tables that are related to the TestResults table (and the primary form) named Names-Normalized and SiteAddresses. The...

I'm using Access 2002, as front-end and back-end as well: 1) I faced database corrupted problems, when more than 1 user edit concurrently. I'm using All-records Locking, and open-exclusively as default. But, still face the same problem: Database corrupted! (But, it allows to be repaired) 2) I found that the relationship linkage between those related tables(which corrupted) was disconnected/lost after problem (1)

Here's one that should probably have the sub-heading "I'm sure I asked this once before, but ...". Two users are both looking at the same data, from a database. One user changes the data and commits it. How does the other user get the updated view without polling for changes? Is there some sort of callback mechanism that can be set up on the dataset or connection? TIA

Hi, we have some datafeeds which pull info from external sources. Unfortunately, we have to use screen scraping as there are no XML feeds. The data feeds are located in a variety of different applications located on different servers. I have to design a new architecture, I have a fair idea of how I would do it but if anyone has any pointers to a good existing architecure design or *things not to do*, please post. TIA Markus

I am working with a database that has client information separated in to 4 related tables - tFolder, tAddress, tEmail, tPhone number. In addition there are related tables tGifts and tCalls. The database has roughly 22,000 records but should only have around 6,000. The remaining records are duplicates, but in many cases the correct data for one person is spread out between the duplicate records and related tables. I need to be able to...

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