Pages 277-279: Example Using an Append Query to Archive Data

The extended example in this section has two known problems
  1. Running the qryXmplArchiveOldContracts query invokes two extra Enter Parameter Value dialog boxes in addition to the one shown in Figure 9-18.
  2. qryXmplArchiveOldContracts fails to append the 78 rows of data to the tblContractHistory table due to key violations.
Correction: Comments:
  1. The extra dialog boxes arise from two superfluous fields (Expr1: and Expr2:) in the qryXmplArchiveOldContracts query. These two fields should be deleted. In addition, the corresponding fields in the tblContractHistory table should also be deleted (CommissionAgent3 and Commission3%).
  2. The rows which qryXmplArchiveOldContracts attempts to append already exist in the tblContractHistory table. All of the rows from Contract Number 4642 to Contract Number 4748 should be deleted from the table.
Microsoft Press is committed to providing informative and accurate books. All comments and corrections listed above are ready for inclusion in future printings of this book. If you have a later printing of this book, it may already contain most or all of the above corrections.
