I have a 9 digit ID that is inputted on a form and stored in a table but the 0 keeps getting dropped.
I am using an input mask similar to another db but it is not working for this one
mask I am using is 000000000;0;_
So for ID's that start with 0 (EX:012345678) would display and stored as 12345678 instead...
I'm just to work with Fox Pro, and I am therefore puzzled with how to define the exact number of digits in a field in a table in Access. If I need 9 digits + 2 decimals in a number filed, how do I define that in design view?
Also, I need to know how to export a table into a text file, with a format without any spaces, and each record is divided with a new line. This an old IBM text format file.
Thanks, Torsan
I have a query that is pulling from a single table of expenses the sum of expenses for each quarter. I am using only three fields: the quarter, expense type and amount paid. I am using - Qtr: DatePart("q",[PostDate]) - to obtain the quarters, grouping by quarter and then by expense type. However, the record returned for the 4th quarter shows this result: "3.0026" It should not have four digits after the decimal.
Results for the other three quarters in the same query return correctly with two digits after the decimal point. The query below was suggested to me in order to make the sum returned have only two digits after the decimal:
AmtPaid: Sum((SELECT FORMAT(PymntAMOUNT, 2) FROM tbl_expenses))
The result of this was a curious information box that said: "At most one record can be returned by this subquery." The query returned nothing. I have checked the formatting in both the table and the query itself and the format is "Standard" for both. So, I can't figure out what is producing this 4 digit problem, and why it is only in one record while all the others have two digits after the decimal.
I have a table where there is information stored about certain workorders.. like location, description, etc.
The thing is that location is descripted as "03-LZ-.." where the 03 part stands for the departement. I have another table with all the numbers and departements and now I'm looking for a way to link the two. So I have to find a way to look at the first to digits of the "location" in my workorder table and link that number with the table where numbers and departements are stored.

I am wondering whether there is someone out there that can help me with a question, I have created two tables one is called categories and the other is called Vehicle List, what I would like to do is to display a specific record from one of the fields in the categories table and display it in a specific field in the vehicles list table but I dont know how I can do this, is there anyone out there that can help, basically, when the user starts to enter data into the vehicles list table and they get to the field that only needs to display a specific record from the categories table, I dont want the user to enter any data in this field, it will only display a specific record from a different table. I may or may not be right with regards to an expression that needs to be entered and if so does it have to go into the default value box and can someone please give me some idea as to what the expression should say, can someone please give me the formula that I need to type in.
Your cooperation is greatly appreciated and I look forward to hearing from you, best regards Mark
I have a table of customers' data and another with the ISO country codes. They are joined. The country codes appear in the customers' table. The main table looks like this:
http://lemmikki.uw.hu/countries.JPG
On the form I would like to display the country's name instead of the ISO code.
How is it possible?
I have a number field set to double(reached is the field name). It has a range of numbers going from 0.85 to 1.02, basically 85% to 102%. When the 100% is entered it displays only as a 1.
In a query I have a field(attainment) that gets calculated and displays a double number that looks like 1.076 (107%) or 1.003 (100%) for example.
I have a cacluated field that simply looks for the attainment field and compares it to the reached field and where the value is = to each other it displaces a True or False. When it gets to a number that is 1.001 and it compares it to the field that has only the 1 in it I get a false when it should be a true. All other numbers in the qry work perfect but the ones that are exactly 1.00 fail.
How do I get access to see that 1 is 1.00? I have changed the format in a number of ways and can not get it to work correctly.
I have a split form that's like a list of pending tasks. The data source is a linked SharePoint 2013 list where users submit requests. The user takes the information from each record and performs an action. When it is done, the user presses a button and the task status changes from "Pending" to "Processed". The form record source is based on a query that finds only records with a status of "Pending" so when the user changes the status of the task, it is removed from the list. It works fine except when there is only one task left in the work list. If the user processes the last task, the form refreshes and it goes to a new empty record and I get an error message that says I must enter a value into one of the required fields. I tried making the field non-required but it just creates an empty record in the table.

Im trying to create a database for a stock control system. I have a slight problem, the stock is in two places. So what i have to do is put in the values of stock in each place and then display the value of those two added up in the table. What is the best way to be able to do this?
Hi,
In our database, we have a table called change_log which is to be filled in whenever someone adds/removes columns from a table in the database or modifies column properties.
One of the columns in the change_log table contains the name of the table which was changed. To avoid typos and misspellings, I would like to create a dropdown which displays all table names in the database. Can this be done programmatically?
Thanks.
Hello,
I have a form based on 1 table and I am trying to find out if I can display data from another table if I have a relationship between the 2 tables?
Thanks
I have a form that functions as information display/update for a table. It also needs to display a list of relevant codes from another table. The codes in the second table have an ID that will match an ID field on the main table. However when I do this I either get every code in the code table, or nothing.
Here is the SQL that I'm trying to use:
SELECT table_code_lookup.code_text, table_codes.code_extra, table_codes.alum_id, table_codes.ID
FROM (table_code_lookup INNER JOIN table_codes ON table_code_lookup.code_id=table_codes.code_num) INNER JOIN table_alumni ON table_codes.alum_id=table_alumni.ID
WHERE (((table_codes.alum_id)=me.id));
However anything I can think of putting for me.id doesn't work. I've written a sub that will modify the query and insert the correct ID num, but I can't figure out how to get it to run when I change records with the record selector.
I have the nagging feeling that I'm missing something totally simple, but can't figure out what it is, where am I going wrong?
I have two tables to track our engineer visits, one tracks the visit as a whole and the other tracks the individual instruments the engineer worked on during that visit. This way I can track visits to customer sites separately to the visits made to an individual instrument.
Right now, I create a visit and then add Visit Lines (containing the details of the instrument visited). These instruments, or 'Visit Lines', are being displayed in the Visits Table via a related items box. Visit lines are associated with Instruments in the Instrument Table via a serial number lookup. All this works great...
However, I want to display both the serial number and the instrument description in the related items control in the Visits Table. Since the Visit Lines table only has the instrument ID lookup and not the instrument description I can't display it in the control.
I need to either:
a) Create an instrument description in the Visit Lines table as a lookup and have this automatically pull in the description based on the serial number the user selects.... which I can't figure out how to do - it's just an autocomplete.
b) Create an instrument description in Visit Lines and have a macro grab the corresponding description from the Instruments table based on the serial number input - but just for this record...
I have inherited 1000 records which need to fit into new criteria selected from combo boxes and to do this individually by the forms will take forever so i want to copy and paste the data in the table, but when I do it doesn't fill in the form.
This may be a problem with the cascading script in the form as the fields fill in when I press f9 but disappear every time I open the form.Finally I eventually want to export the data as a table but displaying the text value rather than the key value.
Hi,
I'm using Access 2000.
After a very very very long time i've manged to crack my first QBF! When I click the command button to run the macro and display the results, the results are coming up in a table format.
Is there any way to have the results of the QBF displayed on the same form?
For example, if I have a table that contains my different products and their categories - in this example 50 different types of "toy trucks", 75 "toy cars" and 100 "toy trains" - and I then perform a QBF on the criteria of product type, in this example "toy cars" - I would want the first "toy car" record to show on the form in their relevant fields, and be able to scroll through 74 records before coming to an end.
This way I could easily place all my products in one table, then select which products I'd like to view in the form and scroll through them.
Any help would be greatfully appreciated as I haven't been able to find anything online.
Thank you in advance.
Hi -
Trying to display PDF in a form. Ideally, I would like to link one or more PDF's to each record in a table and be able to view the PDF within the form. Opening the file via double-click would be a nice bonus.
I've looked at a helpful post here
http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=100877
which describes doing this through ActiveX
Part of my trouble is I don't understand the ActiveX well enough. I was able to make this work with a sample file, but then I lost all the tool bars that were on the document and can't get them back. I also can't figure out how to get the double-click to open to work. Is there documentation somewhere on the ActiveX control?
I also tried using an OLE object. I can create a form in design view that contains a linked PDF, but I can't figure out how to index off a table. I also can't figure out how to resize (for a thumbnail, for example).
Thanks for any assistance,

I created a multivalue list in my table. It contains a list of names and a checkbox. I designed the form based on this and am able to check off multiple names. When I go back to look at the table, it stores in each name separated by a comma. So far so good.
When I create a report to display the data, it displays it as 1,2,3..etc., instead of the names separated by a comma.
What do I need to do to display the names ?
To display images on a form (Access 2003) I used the same code of the Northwind database sample (Form Emplyees).
when changing the Picture's location it returns a bug in the code (Couldn' open ...the file), or the ErrorMessage Label should have the value: "File not Found".
Here is the code:
Private Sub Form_Current()
Dim res As Boolean
Dim fName As String
Path = CurrentProject.Path
On Error Resume Next
ErrorMsg.Visible = False
If Not IsNull(Me![ProductPicture]) Then
res = IsRelative(Me![ProductPicture])
fName = Me![ImagePath]
If (res = True) Then
fName = Path & "" & fName
End If
Debug.Print "fName: " & fName
Me![ImageFrame].Picture = fName
showImageFrame
Me.PaintPalette = Me![ImageFrame].ObjectPalette
If (Me![ImageFrame].Picture <> fName) Then
hideImageFrame
ErrorMsg.Caption = "File not Found"
ErrorMsg.Visible = True
End If
Else
hideImageFrame
ErrorMsg.Caption = "Click on Add/Edit to add the Product Picture"
ErrorMsg.Visible = True
End If
End Sub
Function IsRelative(fName As String) As Boolean
IsRelative = (InStr(1, fName, ":") = 0) And (InStr(1, fName, "") = 0)
End Function

:confused: I am setting up a referral system with a datebase on access. I want to have a form where I can enter a date of referral and the results are displayed in a form style? How do I do it?
I have set up a form to enter the date, with a submit button, and this return the results in a dataview/spreadsheet style. But I want to display in a form so that I can edit later.
I am a novice in Access - Any help!!
I recently have made some changes to a bound form that someone else created. Since I made the changes, simply adding a couple more linked textboxes, the form will not populate any of the fields until I lose focus from this main form to another form and come back. I have tried adding me.requery, me.refresh to the onActive event, but it does not work.
Also this only occurs on 2 machines. If I try it on mine or a couple of other computers in the company the program works fine.
I am at a complete loss as to what to do and could really use some help on this one.
I have a table which has a yes/no field, in the table everything displays as either Yes or No, unless you click on it to edit it, whereby No become 0 and Yes becomes -1.This isn't a big problem as users can only access forms. On the input form this is a check box, checked for Yes and unchecked for No. This used to be a drop down selection box of Yes and No and the same problem was occuring, so I know the problem doesn't relate to the check box.
I have a second reporting form which has multiple combo boxes to filter down results in a subform. In the subform the field correctly displays as Yes and No, however, the filtering combobox for this field has the options 0 and -1.
The combobox is set up as Yes/No, the table is Yes/No and the results are Yes/No. There is no other formatting or input options that can be changed to tell the database this is a Yes/No field.How can I get this combobox to display as Yes/No? It's causing a lot of confusion with users as they are having to select 0 or -1.As a note, I've already tried the following:
-Deleting the combobox and starting again.
-Deleting the table and combo box and starting again.
-Deleting all tables, queries and forms which use this field and starting again.
None have worked, this seems to be something Access is doing rather than an error in what I've done.The filter form uses this code, which may be the cause:
Code:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private m_colCombos As Collection
Private m_strFilter As String

I have a database that uses the SSN as the primary key, but only the last 4 digits of the SSN need to be shown on the reports that are generated. I can't figure out how to use the Left function to extract only the last 4 digits. For example if a SSN were: 123-45-6789 I would want the field to read ***-**-6789, or just 6789 whichever is easiest. I would appreciate any help that could be given.
