How to run make table query on an active table used by a form?

35 New Member
I am trying to re-create the existing table once it gets updated via form. However, I am getting error "The database engine could not lock table "tbl_test" because it is already used by another person or process".

Please help me find a way to get around this

Thanks

Ok, I was actually asking you if this is the order you are using. By your response I'm assuming that it is.

The next question is what is the crosstab table being used for?

Crosstab table is being used to sum the data based on the period field. In other words, it display the data in summarized manner

dpatel1682: User update that form and after update it updates the value in source tables
You've seen that happen? I'm surprised. I would not expect any updates to be possible on a form bound to a CrossTab query. The query wouldn't be updatable.

So the same form takes the user input and displays the crosstab data?

NeoPa,

Form is bound to a table which is created by that crosstab query which gets updated in the process with the source table which creates that crosstab table. Having said that, I need re-create that crosstab table since the source table was updated via form.

Relationship defined:

1. TableA(SourceTa ble)
2. QryA(CrosstabQu ery) that gets data from TableA
3. TableB(Crosstab Table) that gets data from QryA
4. FormA that has TableB as source
5. Edits to FormA updates TableA - This will require me to re run the QryA which creates TableB

Hope I made myself clear and Thank you all very much for your help

Yes, same form takes the user input and displays the crosstab data.

Here's the steps defined to make this more clear

Relationship defined:

1. TableA(SourceTa ble)
2. QryA(CrosstabQu ery) that gets data from TableA
3. TableB(Crosstab Table) that gets data from QryA
4. FormA that has TableB as source
5. Edits to FormA updates TableA - This will require me to re run the QryA which creates TableB


Thank you all very much for your help

Using SQL against a DB2 table the 'with' key word is used to dynamically create a temporary table with an SQL statement that is retained for the duration of that SQL statement. What is the equivalent to the SQL 'with' using TSQL? If there is not one, what is the TSQL solution to creating a temporary table that is associated with an SQL statement? Examples would be appreciated. Thank you!!

I have a secured database that contains a Read-Only group. This group has permissions to view reports, but cannot add, edit, or delete any DB objects. One of the reports the group needs access to is generated with a Make-Table Query. Since the Make-Table Query deletes the previous table it created everytime it's ran, this poses a problem since the Read-Only group doesn't have the permission to delete objects. This causes the report...

Hello Everyone, I have been asked to try and create a single SQL query to retrieve product information from a database. The way that data is arranged is that in some tables there are user defined "attributes" or "dimensions" that in turn connect to the actual product table via a many-many (using a linking table). In each linking table there is a combination of the "dimension", the productID, and the "fact" that is stored against the...
