VBA code for access -- Moving record to another table

2 New Member
I am creating an inventory db in access and I want to be able to move a record to a different table when the location of where that asset is currently being stored is changed. I don't see a macro action that I can use and I was wondering is tehre was any VBA code that would work?? Any thoughts??

I don't think SQL databases in general, and Access specifically, have any concept of "moving" a record. I believe you'd need to do first a copy (in Access parlance, an Append Query), then a delete.

Since moving to a WinNT/UDB 7.2 environment, the choices the optimizer makes often seem flaky. But this last example really floored me. I was hoping someone could explain why I get worse response time when the optimizer uses two indexes, than when it uses one. Some context:

Can anybody help me with some Access 2000 code? I don't do a lot of coding in Access & so every time I come back to do something I pretty much have to relearn the syntax from scratch so this is taking me hours. As with most occasional programmers its the commas, colons, inverted commas, square brackets etc etc that cause the problem! (Not to mention the nuances of using Do While, Do until, Case statements If statements, IIF etc etc...)...

I created an audit trail for my access 97 database using code I found at: http://members.iinet.net.au/~allenbrowne/AppAudit.html One of the limitations stated for the code is "each table to be audited must have an AutoNumber primary key". Can someone explain why the automunber field has to be the primary key? It seems that the autonumber field would be unique by default. I have another field that needs to be unique but there is nothing...

Hi all, I am using an Access client linked to a PG 7.4 server via ODBC. I have a stored proc on the server that inserts rows into a table.particular table, accomplished via an INSERT within the body of the stored proc. The procedure does not explicitly commit this data, as no transactions are invoked. The problem is that Access will not modify these records via table or form view, giving its generic "Write conflict: another user has...

I have a BeforeUpdate where I need to ensure that no matter what, the first four fields on the form (one text box, 3 combo box lists) have data entered in them before the user closes the form or before the user moves off the form to a subform on the main form, regardless of whether the end user even put focus to any of the four form fields. (It is easy to know if all 4 fields have values, but not if less than four fields have values.) ...

Problem for Excel Developers One of the problems facing Excel developers moving into MS Access is actually the apparent similarity between MS Access tables and Excel spreadsheets.

Flat File Database Spreadsheets are very sophisticated...

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,...
