database - Access 2013, want to make sure my SQL is doing what I think it is -


my understanding following sql is:

(1) taking data tbl1 , updating tbl2

(2) both adding new records , updating old ones.

(3) overwriting existing data in tbl2

(4) not overwriting data in tbl2 blank cells

am off mark on 1 , if how?

update tbl1 inner join tbl2  on tbl1.thing0 = tbl2.thing0  set tbl2.[thing1] = tbl1.[thing1], tbl2.[thing2] = tbl1.[thing2], tbl2.[thing3] = tbl1.[thing3];

edit1

so satisfy conditions 2 , 4 , keep easy on users:

(2) use append query add new rows of data, update change existing rows.

(4) update query, how can prevent overwriting data in existing rows blank cells?

i have users on-site updating table in real time , worry remote users updating table once have connection overwrite on-site users data bunch of blank cells.

will satisfy condition 4?

update tbl1 inner join tbl2  on tbl1.thing0 = tbl2.thing0  set tbl2.[thing1] = tbl1.[thing1], tbl2.[thing2] = tbl1.[thing2], tbl2.[thing3] = tbl1.[thing3] not null:

(5) attach macro command button users can run both queries @ same time.

  1. yes
  2. no - update doesn't add records; query updates records in tbl2, corresponding record(s) in tbl1 can found
  3. yes
  4. no - if corresponding row/record in tbl1 has empty/blank fields, these written tbl2 anyway

after op edits, re #4:

you can use iif() on set line, next (maybe should add trim() or check null values or similar):

set tbl2.[thing1] = iif(tbl1.[thing1] = '', tbl2.[thing1], tbl1.[thing1])

iif() ms access function; in proper sql have use case statement.

powershell Start-Process exit code -1073741502 when used with Credential from a windows service environment -

i'm running strange behavior powershell start-process call. here call: $process = start-process ` "c:\somepath\mybinary.exe" ` -passthru ` -credential $defaultcredential ` -wait ` -workingdirectory "c:\somepath" ` -loaduserprofile if ($process.exitcode -ne 0) { #do } this call return exit code - 1073741502 . after quick search, exit code seems related generic error when program not load required dll (aka. status_dll_init_failed ). when run without -credential $credential program runs correctly. in order isolate problem, manually launched some.exe in prompt target credential , runs smoothly. so problem seems come way start-process cmdlet launch process. i found potential solutions problem tried apply no luck : link , link . would have idea of what's going on here ? edit 1: run proc mon monitoring program activities when launched directly or via powershell script. problem seems occur when loading kernelbase
