Append query

Sorry - I forgot to attach SQL.

INSERT INTO [Call cycle history] ( [Territory #], [Emp Notes], [Entity ID], [Facility ID], [FXSAcct], [CC Band], [FXSName], [QOQ1], [QOQ2], [LASTCALLED], [LASTSCHEDULED], [NEXTCALL], [SOURCE], [Classify], [Total Spend], [Zip] )
SELECT [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle].[Territory #], [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle].[Emp Notes], [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle].[Entity ID], [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle].[Facility ID], [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle].[FXSAcct], [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle].[CC Band], [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle].[FXSName], [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle].[QOQ1], [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle].[QOQ2], [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle].[LASTCALLED], [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle].[LASTSCHEDULED], [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle].[NEXTCALL], [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle].[SOURCE], [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle].[Classify], [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle].[Total Spend], [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle].[Zip]
FROM [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle];

>Can I only add the new items but overwrite items that already exist?
yes, but that will be 2 queries.

1 UPDATE for the existing rows, and 1 INSERT for the non-existing rows.
for part 1, you need to update with a join, for part 2 you need to create a "non-matched join".

for which part do you need more help?

Ok, thanks!
Can you help me update with a non-matched join?
I need to add all fields from the 'Accounts on update but not in current call cycle' TABLE
to the 'Call cycle history' TABLE where the [Entitity ID] do not exist.

Just add a where clause to pick on new Entity ID's.  See code below

INSERT INTO [Call cycle history] ( [Territory #], [Emp Notes], [Entity ID], [Facility ID], [FXSAcct], [CC Band], [FXSName], [QOQ1], [QOQ2], [LASTCALLED], [LASTSCHEDULED], [NEXTCALL], [SOURCE], [Classify], [Total Spend], [Zip] )
SELECT [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle].[Territory #], [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle].[Emp Notes], [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle].[Entity ID], [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle].[Facility ID], [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle].[FXSAcct], [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle].[CC Band], [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle].[FXSName], [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle].[QOQ1], [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle].[QOQ2], [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle].[LASTCALLED], [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle].[LASTSCHEDULED], [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle].[NEXTCALL], [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle].[SOURCE], [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle].[Classify], [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle].[Total Spend], [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle].[Zip]
FROM [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle] 
Where [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle].[Entity ID] not in (Select Distinct [Entity ID] from [Call cycle history]);

I am getting an error message that [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle].[Territory #] could refer to more than one table in my FROM clause?

That's strange. I think the query should work.  

One issue may be that the [Territory #] has a # in the title.  The # is a wild card character in Access where # represents a number.

Could we use * for all?

I changed the field name to TTY, but it gave me the same error for the next field [EMP NOTES]

You could probably use Select * if [Accounts on update but not in current call cycle] has all the columns listed at the Insert Into line.  (No more fields, no less fields.).

However, I think your best bet is to rename the [Territory #] to something without the # sign.  For the [EMP Notes], it may not like the space.  

For coding purposes, it's probably best not to use spaces. You can name the field EMP_Notes (with an underscore instead of the space.) Then you can display "EMP Notes" when you query if you want.  (Select EMP_Notes as 'EMP Notes' from [Call Cycle History])

Additionally, you should probably change your table names so that they don't have spaces and don't use key words (i.e. 'not in').  It may be good to keep the table names short too.  (Saves on typos.)

I did some updates. This returns a dialog box asking for Call cycle history Entity ID.

Can you help? Thanks! Beth

Thanks for sticking with it!
I really appreciate it!
