Complicated append

[Guest]

Using Access 2k. I have form with a button, when I press this I have a
procedure, which deletes information in about 8 temp tables, then it imports
delaminated txt files into these tables. I then have it run some update
queries and/or append queries for the permanent tables. However I have one,
which is giving me nightmares for the past 3 days. I tried using queries and
code, but for some reason I can get it to append the right record. The
problem is I have several stand-alone systems, which import data into one
system via txt files. Here is my code hopefully someone can point me in the
right direction. I have tried several variations but nothing works it keeps
find the first record in tblPracticalResults and that's it.

We have no idea how to identify what you mean by "the right record". We
don't even know what the data are.

You're going to need to provide a lot more details, please. Tell us what
you're trying to do with this code - in words.

I do note this part of your code that may be the problem:

Set rst3 = dbs.OpenRecordset(strSql2)
strWhere = "PracticalResultsID = " & rst3![PracticalResultsID]
rst3.FindFirst strWhere

You're asking ACCESS to find the record in rst3 whose PracticalResultsID
value is the same as the value that is in the first record of rst3. Perhaps
one of these rst3 usages is incorrect?

Thanks for the response. Well here it goes. I am trying to append to
tblComments from tblCommentsTemp. The tblComments has foreign key to
tblPracticalResults (PracticalResultsID) and it has a FK of tblPracticalData
(PracticalIDNumber)and so forth. The tblPracticalresults has about 100
records for every PracticalIDNumber. Because these are stand alone systems
each of these tables has a autonumber field, but also a txt field. The txt
field is the PK, but I used the autonumber for the FK. What I am trying to
do is append to tblComments, but get the correct PracticalResultsID from
tblPracticalResults after itself has been appended. Because the
PracticalResultsID changes when brought into the main system so can the txt
field. I have an append query for tblPracticalResults which actually changes
the txt field at the same time. The problem I am having when I step through
the code is it keeps locating the first record in tblPracticalResults and not
finding the correct record that was changed that relates back to
tblCommentsTemp.PracticalResultsID. I have tried several variations, but it
keeps giving me the first record (in other words it could be 150th record in
tblPracticalResults that I am trying to relate it to). I am off work now but
I will stay on line tonight to see if you can help me through this mess. I
have been able to update/append every table except this one. It is the one
that is the furthest out on my relationships.

Should I place rst2 in a different place? I tried it without the statement
of strSql2 and did a series of DLookpus, but I got the same result so I
switched it to this statement hoping to get a different result, but I didn't.
Also, should I go a different route and update the tblCommentsTemp table
with the correct info then from there append to tblComments? Thanks for any
help. I know this all seems confusing that was not my intention.

I can not say for sure that I'm understanding fully the interrelationships
and such here, but I still believe that the error in your code is what I
pointed out in my first reply. Take a look again at these code steps from
your code:

Set rst3 = dbs.OpenRecordset(strSql2)
strWhere = "PracticalResultsID = " & rst3![PracticalResultsID]
rst3.FindFirst strWhere

This code opens a recordset named rst3. The code then gets the value of the
first record in the rst3 recordset. It then finds that same record (the
first record) in the rst3 recordset... in other words, the
rst3.FindFirst strWhere
is doing absolutely nothing for you because it's finding the same record
that already is the current record. It's saying this:

"open a recordset that has a value of 1 for the primary key in the first
record"
"then find the record in this recordset that has a value of 1 for the
primary key"
Answer: it finds the first record because that is the record from which
you took the value that you're trying to find in that same recordset!


So I believe that
rst3.FindFirst strWhere

perhaps needs to be this (finding the matching record in the rst recordset)?
rst.FindFirst strWhere

Thanks again for the response. However, that did not resolve my problem.
When I step through the code rst3![PracticalResultsID] part still points to
the first record in the table. I believe it has something do to with my
strSql2 string. I will keep trying and keep an eye on this string. Also, I
will let you know if I resolve this problem, if you see anything here that
could fix it please let me know thanks.

"open a recordset that has a value of 1 for the primary key in the first
record"
"then find the record in this recordset that has a value of 1 for the
primary key"
Answer: it finds the first record because that is the record from which
you took the value that you're trying to find in that same recordset!


So I believe that
rst3.FindFirst strWhere

perhaps needs to be this (finding the matching record in the rst recordset)?

Thanks for the response. Well here it goes. I am trying to append to
tblComments from tblCommentsTemp. The tblComments has foreign key to
tblPracticalResults (PracticalResultsID) and it has a FK of
tblPracticalData

tblPracticalResults after itself has been appended. Because the
PracticalResultsID changes when brought into the main system so can the
txt
field. I have an append query for tblPracticalResults which actually
changes
the txt field at the same time. The problem I am having when I step
through
the code is it keeps locating the first record in tblPracticalResults and
not
finding the correct record that was changed that relates back to
tblCommentsTemp.PracticalResultsID. I have tried several variations, but
it
keeps giving me the first record (in other words it could be 150th record
in
tblPracticalResults that I am trying to relate it to). I am off work now
but
I will stay on line tonight to see if you can help me through this mess.
I
have been able to update/append every table except this one. It is the
one
that is the furthest out on my relationships.

Should I place rst2 in a different place? I tried it without the
statement
of strSql2 and did a series of DLookpus, but I got the same result so I
switched it to this statement hoping to get a different result, but I
didn't.
Also, should I go a different route and update the tblCommentsTemp table
with the correct info then from there append to tblComments? Thanks for
any
help. I know this all seems confusing that was not my intention.
