Check Duplicates & Validation Before inserting bulk data Ms Access VBA - ms-access

I need to check the duplicate value before inserting the values into table,I'm using split function to insert data in bulk, as like this below
Dim VarItm As Variant
Dim i As Integer
Dim strSql As String
VarItm = Split(Me.txtTest, ",")
For i = 0 To UBound(VarItm)
strSql = "insert into tblSplit(Nums,dteDate) values(""" & VarItm(i) & """,#" & Me.txtDateIns & "# )"
'Debug.Print strSql
CurrentDb.Execute strSql, dbFailOnError
Next i
but the issue is how we can set validation for such ,this will be long string
More then 60 or 100 comma separated values as P_000001,P_000002,P_000003 & so on till P_000060
Like "P_######"
Also to check for duplicated or existed value in table before inserting ?

Read the (raw) values into a temp table.
Then you can run all sorts of validation and queries to read, filter, and verify data in the temp table before appended the sanitised data/records to tblSplit.

How to set TextBox Comment Value Input as Table Data Insert on MS Access VBA

I have a main "final table" being updated through VBA based on many inputs of a Form and other tables data. I am trying to callout a TextBox object value that exists in a form to the VBA code so user can add a comment to all the data being inserted into the final table.
Dim strComment As String
strComment = TextBox_Comment.Value
strSQL = "INSERT INTO Main_Table (Period, Monthp, Order, Comment)"
strSQL = strSQL & "SELECT ""Weekly"" AS Period, [001_SelectedMonth].Monthp, [001_OrderTable].Order, strComment AS Comment FROM 001_SelectedMonth, 001_OrderTable;"
CurrentDb.Execute strSQL, dbFailOnError
The code works fine when I remove both the "Comment" from the Main Table insertion points and the "strComment AS Comment" part of the code. Otherwise I get the Run-Time Error '3061', Too few parameters. Expected 1.
Question: is there a way for me to callout the text box value to be inserted in the database as a field data for all the data being added or should I use another method to do this?
Example of the final table:
You need a space and proper concatenation:
strSQL = "INSERT INTO Main_Table ([Period], Monthp, [Order], [Comment]) "
strSQL = strSQL & "SELECT 'Weekly' AS [Period], [001_SelectedMonth].Monthp, [001_OrderTable].Order, '" & strComment & "' AS [Comment] FROM 001_SelectedMonth, 001_OrderTable;"
That said, use parameters to avoid the concatenation.

MS Access VBA working with AbsolutePosition

I have a situation where I need to run a pass through append/insert query of values from MS-Access 2010 VBA to SQL Server 2012, which I have working fine, but that may at some future point need to work with over 1000 records, so I need to make sure my code will accommodate that. My idea was to use modulo to determine when I hit the 1000th record to add a new ; insert ...., to the pass through string, not sure if it's the best approach anyway but I'm struggling to work with .AbsolutePosition.
So far I have:
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim strsql As String
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("MyTable")
strsql = "insert into [dbo].[SomeTable](field1, field2) values"
If Not (rs.EOF And rs.BOF) Then
rs.MoveFirst
Do Until rs.EOF = True
msgbox rs.AbsolutePosition 'error with whatever I do here
'Something like the below is what I actually want to get to
'If rs.AbsolutePosition Mod 999 = 0 Then strsql = Left(strsql, Len(strsql) - 1) & "; insert into [dbo].[SomeTable](field1, field2) values"
strsql = strsql & " (" & rs!field1 & "," & rs!field2 & "'),"
rs.MoveNext
Loop
strsql = Left(strsql, Len(strsql) - 1) & ";"
Else
MsgBox "No Data"
Exit Sub
End If
I keep getting an error operation is not supported for this type of object when either trying to return or perform a calculation using rs.AbsolutePosition
From the documentation:
The AbsolutePosition property isn't available on forward–only–type Recordset objects, or on Recordset objects opened from pass-through queries against Microsoft Access database engine-connected ODBC databases.
Why not simply use a running counter?
Do Until rs.EOF = True
i = i + 1
If i Mod 1000 = 0 Then
' ...
Edit
/Fail. Your rs isn't from a Pass-Through query, so that's not the issue. Nevertheless, the running counter seems like the easiest option.

How to insert several fields into a table using ADO when two of the fields contain commas

I have an ado created recordset in access 2010 it returns 9 different fields from a stored procedure on sql server 2008 r2.
I am trying to use this recordset (which does populate) to insert all of the records into a table that matches the output. My issue is that two of the fields are name fields that have commas in them. For example Smith, Joseph-- I need to insert that comma into the appropriate field. Right now it throws an error because of the comma in the field.
Here is the code that I am using:
Option Compare Database
'Executes the filtering routine
Private Sub cmdApplyFilter_Click()
'If txtStartDate.Value And txtEndDate.Value Is Not Null Then
' QuickFilter
'Else
' DefaultRun
'End If
QuickFilter
'********** Filter as you type **********
'Private Sub txtFilter_Change()
' QuickFilter
'End Sub
End Sub
'Perform the actual filtering on the subform
Private Sub QuickFilter()
Dim Sql As String
Dim filter As String
If txtStartDate = vbNullString Then
'Reset the filter if the textbox is empty
'This will be the default sql statement to fill the subreport
SubForm.Form.FilterOn = False
Else
'Some common substitutions that users may have already inserted as wildchars
filter = Replace(txtStartDate, "%", "*")
filter = Replace("*" & filter & "*", "**", "*")
'Construct the filter for the sql statement
'/*********** GROUP BY GOES HERE ***********/
'Assign the filter to the subform
'SubForm.Form.filter = Sql
'SubFomr.Form.FilterOn = True
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
'Sets up the connection with the sql server database retrieves the stored procedure, executes it and puts the result set into a table
Dim Conn As ADODB.Connection
Dim Cmd As ADODB.Command
Dim Rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim rs1 As ADODB.Recordset
Dim Connect As String
Dim filter As String
Connect = "Provider =SQLNCLI10; Data Source=10.50.50.140; Initial Catalog=CCVG; User Id = oe; Password = Orth03c0; "
'Establish the connection with sql server
Set Conn = New ADODB.Connection
Conn.ConnectionString = Connect
Conn.Open
'Open the recorset
Set Cmd = New ADODB.Command
Cmd.ActiveConnection = Conn
Cmd.CommandText = "dbo.cusGenNoNotesReport"
Cmd.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
Set Rs = Cmd.Execute()
Dim x As Integer
If Not Rs.BOF And Not Rs.EOF Then
If Not Rs.BOF Then Rs.MoveFirst
Do Until Rs.EOF
For x = 0 To Rs.Fields.Count - 1
MsgBox Rs.Fields(x)
'DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO tblNoNotes (Provider, Facility, TicketNumber, Charges, FinancialClass, CPT, CPTDescription, PatientFullName, DateOfEntry) SELECT " & Rs.Fields(x).Value & ""
Next x
Rs.MoveNext
Loop
End If
'Process results from recordset, then close it.
'DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO tblNoNotes (Provider, Facility, TicketNumber, Charges, FinancialClass, CPT, CPTDescription, PatientFullName, DateOfEntry) VALUES (""" & Rs![Provider] & """,""" & Rs![Facility] & """ & Rs![TicketNumber] & """, """ & Rs![Charges] & """, """ & Rs![FinancialClass] & """, """ & Rs![CPT] & """, """ & Rs![CPTDescription] & """, """ & Rs![PatientFullName] & """, """ & Rs![DateOfEntry] & """ )"
Rs.Open
Rs.Close
Conn.Close
Set Rs = Nothing
Set Cmd = Nothing
Set Conn = Nothing
End Sub
You have an ADO Recordset, Rs, which contains data you want to add to your Access table. Instead of trying to fix the INSERT statement to add each row, it should be easier to open a DAO Recordset for the destination table and store the values from each ADO row by adding a new row the the DAO Recordset. Although this is still a RBAR (row by agonizing row) approach, it should be significantly faster than building and executing an INSERT statement for each row.
First of all, make sure to add Option Explicit to your module's Declarations section.
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Then use this code to append the ADO Recordset data to your table.
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rsDao As DAO.Recordset
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rsDao = db.OpenRecordset("tblNoNotes", _
dbOpenTable, dbAppendOnly + dbFailOnError)
Do While Not Rs.EOF
rsDao.AddNew
rsDao!Provider.Value = Rs!Provider.Value
rsDao!Facility.Value = Rs!Facility.Value
rsDao!TicketNumber.Value = Rs!TicketNumber.Value
rsDao!Charges.Value = Rs!Charges.Value
rsDao!FinancialClass.Value = Rs!FinancialClass.Value
rsDao!CPT.Value = Rs!CPT.Value
rsDao!CPTDescription.Value = Rs!CPTDescription.Value
rsDao!PatientFullName.Value = Rs!PatientFullName.Value
rsDao!DateOfEntry.Value = Rs!DateOfEntry.Value
rsDao.Update
Rs.MoveNext
Loop
rsDao.Close
Set rsDao = Nothing
Set db = Nothing
Note this approach means you needn't worry about whether PatientFullName contains a comma, or apostrophe ... or struggle with properly quoting field values to produce a valid INSERT statement. You simply store the value from one recordset field to the appropriate field in another recordset.
I think the real problem you're complaining about here is that your data in the ADO Recordset has quotes (sometimes called apostrophes) in it. Anytime quotes could possibly exist in your data you will need to check for and escape them before using the data in an SQL Statement. You will need to know this not only for inserts but also for performing filtering and creating WHERE statements as well. For example:
Replace(Rs![PatientFullName], "'", "''")
A simpler way to do this is to make your own little function. The "PQ" stands for pad quotes. You can name it whatever you want.
PQ(rs![PatientFullName])
Public Function PQ(s as String) as String
PQ = Replace(s, "'", "''")
End Function
But I also agree with HansUp that it's much easier to use recordsets for inserts. I basically never use SQL Insert statements anymore, except for places where I have no option such as SQL Server T-SQL.
Be aware that if you do want to use insert statements, you should consider using the following:
CurrentDb.Execute "INSERT INTO Statement Goes Here", dbFailOnError
This is considered to be a more robust solution than DoCmd.RunSQL, mostly because it runs in the context of the underlying Database Engine instead of the Access interface. Using CurrentDb.Execute prevents you from having to use DoCmd.SetWarning statements to turn off warnings.

How do I delete rows in a table from one database to the other in MS Access

I have two databases, a "Master" source (held locally) and a "Copy" database (to be distributed). Neither will be able to see each other once distributed (either locally or across a network), so we can't perform queries across the databases after distribution. I need to remove some content from the Copy database before it is distributed, so I decided to create a VBA script to produce the Copy databases for distribution.
There are lookups in the tables, so I have decided to hold a template database (which was copied from the master source, and then stripped the tables out of them), then am dropping the tables and have recreated them in an appropriate order.
I'm now needing to remove some of the data, and I'm struggling.
DeviceTable:
AutoNumber(ID)
Text(DeviceName)
Integer(ClusterID)
Text(Distribution)
ClusterTable:
AutoNumber(ID)
Text(ClusterName)
VirtualSystemTable:
AutoNumber(ID)
Text(VirtualSystemName)
Integer(ClusterID)
Integer(DeviceID)
InterfaceTable:
AutoNumber(ID)
Integer(VirtualSystemID)
Integer(ClusterID)
Integer(DeviceID)
Text(Description)
I need to remove entries from DeviceTable, ClusterTable, VirtualSystemTable and InterfaceTable for anything which is not marked as Distribution: "Public"
Normally I would do (in psudocode):
arrDEV = SQL("SELECT ID, ClusterID FROM DeviceTable WHERE Distribution<>"Public"")
Then, for each response, I would
arrVSYS = SQL("SELECT ID FROM VirtualSystemTable WHERE DeviceID=$arrDEV.ID OR ClusterID=$arrDEV.ClusterID")
SQL("DELETE FROM InterfaceTable WHERE DeviceID=$arrDEV.ID OR ClusterID=$arrDEV.ClusterID OR VirtualSystemID=$arrVSYS.ID")
SQL("DELETE FROM VirtualSystemTable WHERE DeviceID=$arrDEV.ID OR ClusterID=$arrDEV.ClusterID")
SQL("DELETE FROM ClusterTable WHERE ID=$arrDEV.ClusterID")
My issue is that I can't work out how to perform these queries across the database link. I amusing ADODB. I normally code in PHP, so this is a bit of a struggle for me!
You have the right idea but VBA is quite a bit different from PHP. You can't use variables inside strings with first exiting the string, concatenating the variable, and then starting the string again.
Where you would typically use an array called arrDev or arrVSys, we use a DAO Recordset or ADO Recordset object inside MS Access.
Updated answer to reflect the information you gave:
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim sSQL as String
Dim arrDEV As DAO.Recordset, Dim arrVSYS as DAO.Recordset
Set db = OpenDatabase("C:\SomeDatabase.accdb")
sSQL = "SELECT ID, ClusterID FROM DeviceTable WHERE Distribution <> 'Public'"
Set arrDEV = db.Open(sSQL)
If Not (arrDEV.EOF and arrDEV.BOF) Then
arrDEV.movefirst
Do Until arrDEV.eof = True
sSQL = "SELECT ID FROM VirtualSystemTable WHERE DeviceID = " & arrDEV("ID") & _
" OR ClusterID = " & arrDEV("ClusterID")
Set arrVSYS = CurrentDb.Open(sSQl)
sSQL = "DELETE FROM InterfaceTable WHERE DeviceID = " & arrDEV("ID") & _
" OR ClusterID = " & arrDEV("ClusterID") & " OR VirtualSystemID = " & arrVSYS("ID")
CurrentDb.Execute sSQl, dbFailOnError
sSQL = "DELETE FROM VirtualSystemTable WHERE DeviceID = " & arrDEV("ID") & " OR ClusterID = " & arrDEV("ClusterID")
CurrentDb.Execute sSQl, dbFailOnError
sSQL = "DELETE FROM ClusterTable WHERE ID = " & arrDEV("ClusterID")
CurrentDb.Execute sSQl, dbFailOnError
arrVSYS.Close
arrDEV.MoveNext
Loop
End If
'Cleanup
Set arrVSYS = Nothing
arrDEV.Close
Set arrDEV = Nothing
db.close
Set db = Nothing
The code is untested and could have some errors. The only thing I didn't plan for was having more than one record in arrVSYS. If that recordset will have multiple records then you'll need yet another loop.
As you can see, you don't need to use ADO to access another Access database. But if the "outside" database is something other than Access then yes, you would need to use ADO.

Preserving Single Quotes in Access

I have created a form in Access 2010 that is used to insert data into an existing table. The table contains a Keywords field, Source combo box, and a Code text box where i write the data to be inserted and there is a button for executing the query. The code for the form is:
Private Sub cmd_go_Click()
Dim insertstring As String
insertstring = "INSERT INTO KWTable (KW, Source, Code) VALUES('" & text_key.Value & "','" & combo_source.Value & "','" & txt_code.Value & "');"
DoCmd.RunSQL insertstring
End Sub
The code is simple, it inputs the data to the table so i can reference it for future use. Now the problem I am having is that when I try to add long bits of code that I use in SQL Server i get a syntax missing expression error which I am assuming is coming from the single quotes since the code is from SQL. I am getting the error because when i am trying to store a code i used in SQL Server it uses single quotes which access does not recognise. I think if I try to write in the code for the insert form something to help convert the single quotes into double quotes, then reconvert them back to single quoteswill help solve the problem. I just cant figure out how to do it and could really use some help.
Thank You
You can avoid trouble with included quotes in your inserted text by using a parameter query.
Consider an approach such as this for cmd_go_Click().
Dim strInsert As String
Dim db As DAO.database
Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
strInsert = "PARAMETERS pKW TEXT(255), pSource TEXT(255), pCode TEXT(255);" & vbCrLf & _
"INSERT INTO KWTable (KW, Source, Code) VALUES (pKW, pSource, pCode);"
'Debug.Print strInsert
Set db = CurrentDb
Set qdf = db.CreateQueryDef(vbNullString, strInsert)
qdf.Parameters("pKW") = Me.text_key.value
qdf.Parameters("pSource") = Me.combo_source.value
qdf.Parameters("pCode") = Me.txt_code.value
qdf.Execute dbFailOnError
Set qdf = Nothing
Set db = Nothing
However, I don't understand how JoinCells() fits in.
I use a function that handles Null Values, and escapes single quotes (by converting them to two single quotes) when creating SQL statements directly:
Function SafeSQL(ByVal pvarSQL As Variant) As String
SafeSQL2 = Replace(Nz(pvarSQL, ""), "'", "''")
End Function
Then in your routine you would have:
insertstring = "INSERT INTO KWTable (KW, Source, Code) VALUES('" & SafeSQL(text_key.Value) & "','" & SafeSQL(combo_source.Value) & "','" & SafeSQL(txt_code.Value) & "');"
