Re: [MS_AccessPros] Re: Input Form and Input Template Table Design

 

David-

Try this:

strSQL = "INSERT INTO tblServiceReportDetails (ServiceReportID, SamplePointID, ParameterID) " & _
            "SELECT " & Me.ServiceReportID & ", SamplePointID, ParameterID " & _
            "FROM tblServiceTemplates " & _
            "INNER JOIN tblServiceTemplateDetails " & _
            "ON tblServiceTemplates.ServiceTemplateID = tblServiceTemplateDetails.ServiceTemplateID " & _
            "WHERE tblServiceTemplates.ServiceTemplateID = " & Me.ServiceTemplateID

John, I am trying to get the templates to work using the SQL code you provided and I am really struggling (hours).  Since the combination key of CustomerID and EquipmentID is not unique I didn't see how the SQL could work when there was more than one template for Customer/Equipment.  So, to make it easier and better, I placed another field in tblServiceReports - ServiceTemplateID.  So now, each time that a new service report record is created, the user has to select the template which it is based upon.  

Here is the strSQL that I am putting into the AfterUpdate procedure:

strSQL = "INSERT INTO tblServiceReportDetails (ServiceReportID, SamplePointID, ParameterID)" & _
            "SELECT Me.ServiceReportID,SamplePointID,ParameterID" & _
            "FROM tblServiceTemplates" & _
            "INNER JOIN tblServiceTemplateDetails" & _
            "ON tblServiceTemplates.ServiceTemplateID = tblServiceTemplateDetails.ServiceTemplateID" & _
            "WHERE tblServiceTemplates.ServiceTemplateID = Me.ServiceTemplateID"

When I try to compile, the error "Syntax Error" appears and the entire block of code above is highlighted.  Sometimes the INTO keyword is highlighted and the error "expected end of statement" shows up.

I have spent hours and don't know how to correct it.

Thank you, David

Hi, I am new to the group and this is my first post so hopefully I will get this done in a manner that allows for easy response.

Access 2016

 

I am working on a database to record and report lab data.  I need to create an input form to enter the results of lab tests.  I have these tables:

1.       Table of analyses (many different analytical procedures may be performed)

2.       Table of sample points (many different sample points may be sampled)

3.       Join table for the two tables above since there is a many to many relationship

4.       Table of lab report headers (customerID, sample collection date, and Sample Collector ID)

5.       Table of lab report details (HeaderID, Analysis date, sample point ID, analysis ID, result)

 

Any of the analyses may be performed on any of the samples.  However, I have several sets of samples and analyses that are frequently repeated.  That is, certain sample points are collected every week and the same 6-8 analyses are performed on those samples each time.  I know how to make an input form based on the join table to enter data, but that requires the data entry to be a little time consuming, having to select the sample pointID and analysis ID each time to enter the result.  To simplify data entry for the repeated samples, I would like to make a form for each of those routine sample points that already includes the "normal" analyses so that the only manual data entry required is entering the result. 

 

I have no idea how to start.  Do I need to create another table? Table of " testing templates" or something of that nature?  And if so, what do I include in the table?

 

Is this too vague or too complex a question for this forum?

 

Thank you,

David
