Hi i have an access db where i have a check box for new items on the list,
I want to un-check it after viewing that item through my web application.
How do u set a check box to unchecked?

New? is the name of the column where i have the checkboxes.

i thought its like this;
string sql = "INSERT into ([New?])" + " VALUES ( '" + false +"')";

but this doesnt work

thanks

Your query should work if you remove the quotes surrounding the literal value false.

BTW, it's actually a Boolean field. The check boxes are just a presentation feature provided by Access when viewing the contents of the table.

This query won't update anything. It's an INSERT query, which means it creates new records.

There is also no WHERE clause, so even if you changes the INSERT to UPDATE, it would change ALL of the records in the table, not just the ones that have their [New?] field set to True.

You also don't specify which table your making an update to.

Your column name is also pretty bad. Don't use punctuation marks in table or column names. This will make for some very interesting debugging sessions if you do.

I think your query, assuming you want to change all the records that are tagged "new" to false and your [New?] column is of type "Yes/No", should look something like this:

UPDATE tableName
SET [New?] = False
WHERE [New?] = True

I don't know which version of Access you are using but in 97 and 2000 I believe true is -1 and false is 0.

So if all else fails with updating the database give these values a go.

P.S. Can anyone explain to me why M$ set true to -1 and not 1?

You always pass failure on the way to success.

Deleteing From Table A When Records Not Found in Table B

I have a table Task which has the primary key as TaskID and a projectID.

I have another Table called Successors which has two fields TaskID and SuccessorID which are both forigen keys from Task.TaskID

What I need to do is create a statement so that All Tasks where proeject ID = X, are deleted if their Task ID is not found in any of the records in the successor table.

Anyone have any ideas?

This should get you started.

DELETE FROM

WHERE
    ProjectID NOT IN (SELECT

                      FROM
                          Task t
                      INNER JOIN
                          Successor s
                          ON (t.TaskID = s.TaskID))

I am generating bulk invoices using front end and when I try to insert it to the data base it takes hours it’s unacceptable.

This is how I am doing the task
Get relevant Cx accounts to data tables
Generates Invoice header and detail records and store those records on Invoice Header and Detail Data tables

Loop the invoice header data table and Insert recodes using Strode procedure.
Loop the invoice detail data table and Insert recodes using Strode procedure.

To generate for 200000 invoices it takes more than 24 Hrs.

How can I improve the performance?

Please refer the code.

//Inserting the Invoice Header records
foreach(DataRow InvHDR in DS_BillData.Tables["InvoiceHeaderInformation"].Rows)
{

SqlParameter[] para =new SqlParameter[14];
para[0]=new SqlParameter("@GUAccountID",InvHDR["GUAccountID"]);

Have you considered using something like DTS or SSIS instead. They are set up to bulk load data.

You can set an int column to be an IDENTITY field to generate sequential numbers in that field. If you want your sequence to be alphanumeric, you should create a computed column for that purpose.
