[AccessD] Need help with a query

Thu Apr 2 10:34:00 CDT 2015

Assuming that your form is bound to the temp table, fldMailListTempSelected is bound to a column in that table,  and the user is selecting the fldMailListTempSelected flag(s) to indicate those records to include, how about something like (air code):

INSERT INTO tblMailListPersons (column1, column2, column3, . . .)
SELECT column1, column2, column3, ...
FROM tblMailListTemp 
WHERE fldMailListTempSelected = TRUE

How about a follow up question? :)  Just trying to up my game, here.

I'm using your Not In approach to create the list in the temp table:

            db.Execute "INSERT INTO tblMailListTemp ( fldPersonsID, fldMailListTempPersonsFirstName, " _
                & "fldMailListTempPersonsLastName, fldMailListTempCompany ) " _
                & "SELECT tblPersons.fldPersonsID, tblPersons.fldPersonsFirstName, " _
                & "tblPersons.fldPersonsLastName,  " _
                & "tblCompanies.fldCompanyName FROM tblCompanies RIGHT JOIN tblPersons ON " _
                & "tblCompanies.fldCompanyID = tblPersons.fldCompanyID WHERE (" _
                & "((tblPersons.fldPersonsID) Not In (Select fldPersonsID from " _
                & "tblMailListPersons  Where
tblMailListPersons.fldMailListID =     " _
                & Val(Me.cboMailList.Column(0)) & " )));"

Works a treat.  Now, when the user selects one of those records to be included in the selected mail list I'm using DAO to add it and that's works just fine. 

    If Me.fldMailListTempSelected = True Then
    ' add to list
        Set rsMLP = db.OpenRecordset("Select * FROM tblMailListPersons ")
        rsMLP.AddNew
        rsMLP!fldPersonsID = Me.fldPersonsID
        rsMLP!fldMailListID = Val(Me.cboMailList.Column(0))
        rsMLP.Update
        rsMLP.Close
        Set rsMLP = Nothing
    Else
.
.
.

So, just trying to up my game here I tried to do this append with a SQL statement but couldn't figure out a way.  I played with it in the QBE grid but no cigar.  Is there a simple way to insert a record using SQL when you have the values in hand (in this case the selected Mail List and the fldPersonsID, the selected Person's PK).

My pleasure. :-)

Not In(select foo from bar) 

or

In(select foo from bar)

Is a very handy tool in the SQL kit.

Not In?   Wow.  Who knew?  (well you, of course). :) After 20 years you'd
think I'd know pretty much the whole language.

I'll give that a try.  Thanks Lambert

You don't need any joins, just a query on tblMailingListPersons with a sub query on the user ID. Like this

SELECT tblPersons.ID, tblPersons.STREMAIL, tblPersons.STRFIRSTNAME, tblPersons.STRLASTNAME FROM tblPersons WHERE (((tblPersons.ID) Not In (select PersonsID from tblMailingListPersons  where
tblMailingListPersons.MailListID=1 )));

(made some guesses about field names). So all that's need is to replace the where "tblMailingListPersons.MailListID=1" with a reference to the form where the mail list is chosen.

Dear List:

I'm trying to make a query do something I would usually just do with a bit of code and am having some difficulty.

I have
1) a table tblMailLists (PK, list name),
2) a table tblPersons (PK & Persons Name) and
3) a connecting table tblMailingListPersons (MailListID FK and Persons ID FK. Pretty standard stuff

So people can be assigned to one or more mailing lists.

I need to assemble into a temp table and display in a form all the people not already on a specific mailing list so that the user can assign them to the selected mailing list.

So I connected tblPersons with tblMailingListPersons - all records from tblPersons and only those records in tblMailingListPersons - and used the
criteria:

MailListID <> (user's selected list) OR Is Null.  

This gives me all the people not assigned to the selected list. But if a person is assigned to another list, of course they show up on this list as well (Person A is assigned to lists 1 and 2 - so the criteria filter out anyone who's on List 1 but passes through someone on List 2).  

I can't figure out how to suppress all the people who are on the user's selected mailing list even if they're assigned to another mailing list.

And direction appreciated.  If it's too snaky I'll just write some code to populate the temp table.
