I'm writing a field where it shows a combination of many fields.
For example, when a user types in "abc" in field 1, "def" in field 2, "ghi" in field 3, I will have to combine the three fields into "abc/def/ghi" with slashes in between them. However I don't want to have any slashes at the front or at the back the field.
There are unlimited fields of "abc" "def" "ghi" "jkl" "mno" etc. Any idea how I can write the code? I'm thinking using if statements. Is there other ways I can do this?
Thanks!!

Hello,
one of tables requires me to store sickness details, the sickness codes are all unique, they do however start with at least one 0 for example code - 000003 Description Stress. When you enter a code access automatically trims of the 0's to leave a 3.
Is there a way to override this im unaware of?

Bit of a newbie so help appreciated.
The system I have developed lists jobs (as in jobs that staff members need to go and do) in different towns and cities. These jobs are set as active or inactive depending if completed.
I need to run a report that allows the user to find active jobs in a particular town. I have made a query and by setting the status field to a criteria of "active" this ensures that all results in the query are only active ones.
I cannot find a way to allow the person running the search to enter the name of the town that they want. This would then allow the query and then report to list all "active" jobs in a particular town.
I have a table containing all the towns so hope I can offer the user running the search a means to either type the name of the town into a box or even better (to reduce typo's) be able to choose the town from a combo box.
Once the town has been selected, the report will list all active jobs in that particular town.
Thanks
Can anyone

I know I should know the answer to this but if you are creating a query that includes individual fields as well as calculations based on some of those fields, do you select the source field or the query "field" when using the expression builder?

Hi,
I have a database showing car details, and need to show all records whose MOT is due within the next 30 days/one month (from today)
It might be similar to my first question.
Thanks in advance

My Mgrs. have asked me to set up a spreadsheet to keep up with inventory for a certain section of the business. And I figured that in the long run it would be easier to set up a database instead of a spreadsheet. We have specific customers with specific products to keep together; and I have figured out how to fullfill this .... my problem lies with the actual inventory.
The questions:
1) Can I keep an Available tally for all products?
2) To ship out and receive in cargo do I need to make 2 tables or just 1?
I have to keep up with the location of the goods in the warehouse and I'm not sure if I should include that with the product table or a seperate inventory table.
I am not sure if I will be using the database to create 'orders' or what we call bills of lading to ship out the cargo so I'm a little lost on how to keep up with the quantity of each product in the warehouse. There is no 'reorder quantity' or anything like that. I just have to keep up with how much of each product I have in the warehouse. Then I also have to be able to keep track of what is received into the warehouse and what is shipped out of the warehouse.
Does any of this make sense? I'm so confused myself that I'm not sure that I am able to explain what I need or what my questions are without confusing any one I'm speaking with.

Hey guys,
I'm having two small issues with my database. The first is, I can't get my drop-down to display content on the Form "frmSearch" under "Cast".
And the second, not really a problem, more of an inquiry... on the same form, is there a way to set a default value in the "released before..." and "released after..." of "(enter year - xxxx)" and have that value not interfere with the search feature if it is left as default?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm very new to database creation and an eager to learn about these things. Thank you!

I'm importing a rather large CSV file that has many employees, repeated on several lines (one line per day) that contains performance information.
If I want to create a separate table that will contain basic information about each employee (for inclusion on reports), would that be accomplished with a relationship?
I can setup a query to pull up the information by employee name, but I of course receive more than one row since on the import an employee can be listed several times (multiple rows).
The two tables would not share any data, I just want a setup so when a report is generated and a specific employee appears, this information is generated with it. Thanks :)

Hey all. I've got a field that I'd like to put a paragraph or so of text into and I'd like to just click on that field and have an arrow open up a box with all the text for easy viewing... (i hope this makes sense). Anyone know how to do this? (I'm sure it's easy if it is doable) thanks!

just a quick question guys,
If i had two tables;
tblCar
CarID
CarName
tblDriver
DriverID
DriverName
how would i put these into a tblCarDriver, would i be right in creating
tblCarDriver
CarDriverID
CarID
DriverID
then how would i set up the fields for this table?
e.g when i use the lookup wizard for the CarID & DriverID fields in tblCarDriver would i select all fields from the Car table and all fields from the driver table or just the CarID from the Car table and DriverID from the Driver table.
How would i show this in a form!!!! maybe by query and a dropdown box?
(e.g Ford, Dean Welch)
Thanks in advance....

Just a quick question.
is better to use a query for a form or just link straight to table.
e.g you have tblColour, this table has ColourID & Colour.should you build a query including all fields then build a form from that query?
Thanks

I think this is simple (but apparently only if you know the answer :o ).
I have a "create date" field on a form that I would like to default to the current date - but not time. (I know Now() returns date and time).
The reason I would like to eliminate the time is I have to compare the create date to an "approved" date to make sure the "approved" date is after or the same as the "create date" and it doesn't work if time is included.
I could have the user enter the date, but would like it to default if possible.
As always, thanks for any help! This site is awesome!
