I have an Access Table with the following columns: WeeklyID(PrimaryKey), CampaignID(Foreignkey), WeekEnded(Date Field), Duration(Number Field).
I want to automatically add X number of records to the table, where X is the number stored in the Duration field. I want the added records to have the same CampaignID as the original record. So the automated process would be satisfied when the count of the records with one specific CampaignID was equal to the Duration number.
If anyone could provide assistance on how to accomplish this, it would be much appreciated. If you need any further info, please ask!
Here's one way to do it. Note that I planned for a scenario where someone changes the duration -- after adding the records.
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.recordSet
Dim rsOT As DAO.recordSet
Function Create_New_Rows()
Dim strSQL As String
Dim i As Integer
Dim iAdd As Integer
Dim iDuration As Integer
Dim lCampaignID As Long
On Error GoTo Error_trap
Set dbs = CurrentDb
strSQL = "SELECT Count(Campaign.WeeklyID) AS NbrRecs, First(Campaign.Duration) AS Duration, Campaign.CampaignID " & _

You can modify this function to have lngCount as a fixed value:
Public Sub CopyEmptyRecords()
Dim rstSource As DAO.Recordset
Dim rstInsert As DAO.Recordset
Dim fld As DAO.Field
Dim strSQL As String
Dim lngLoop As Long
Dim lngCount As Long
Dim booCopy As Boolean
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tblStats"
Set rstSource = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
strSQL = "SELECT TOP 1 * FROM tblStatsNull"
Set rstInsert = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
With rstSource
.MoveLast
.MoveFirst
lngCount = .RecordCount ' Set to fixed value of 7.
For lngLoop = 1 To lngCount
With rstInsert
booCopy = False
.AddNew
For Each fld In rstSource.Fields
With fld
If .Attributes And dbAutoIncrField Then
' Skip Autonumber or GUID field.
Else
' Copy field content.
rstInsert.Fields(.Name).Value = .Value
If Len(Trim(Nz(.Value, vbNullString))) = 0 Then
booCopy = True
End If
End If
End With
Next
If booCopy = True Then
.Update
Else
.CancelUpdate
End If
End With
.MoveNext
Next
rstInsert.Close
.Close
End With
Set rstInsert = Nothing
Set rstSource = Nothing
End Sub
