Access Field Saying Not In Proper Format
Nov 26, 2007
I have a field (date field) that when I try to imput data will tell me that that what is being imputted is not in the correct formate or to large for the field settings. It is in the right formate etc. Is the field size applicable to just that field or overall everything entered in that field in the whole database? It's a decient size data base and I'm wondering if everything in that field is over the size, but then how can that be?
Help!

Is there a Input Mask or Rule Validation that would automatically or require user to input data into Access field in a proper case format? Such as my text would be "My Text" when viewing the actual table? If so how would you do it when in Design View of Table.

I need to display the year, Date, agent name, amount field, note and sub total for each year.I need to write the SQL query code in VBA and i designed the report with proper field positions.
YEAR column: Display Value only once for the FIRST ROW for Maximum value of Date field value for each set of YEAR. If it has only one record, it display that year.SUB TOTAL Column: Display Total Value for Amount field only once for the LAST ROW of each set of year record (Mininum value of year). How to make it available the values for first and last record alone ?
I just wrote my SQL code based on your inputs in my editor..Based on the input from Plog (from this forum), i wrote a code which listed below.
Code:
Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Me.RecordSource = "SELECT CessioneCredito.Anno, CessioneCredito.Data_Movimento, CessioneCredito.Note_Liq_Cessione_Credito, CessioneCredito.Importo, " & _
" Agenzie.Denominazione, DCount("[Anno]","CessioneCredito","[Anno]=" & [Anno]) AS GroupSize,
[Code] ....
While saving it, it shows the code in RED COLOR due to compilation error.As I am writing the query in Me.Recordsource = "SQL query", where i should place the below listed code in the query as per Plog???
Change the Year Control Source to this:
=IIf([GroupPos]=1,[Year])
Change the GroupTotal Control Source to this:
=IIf([GroupPos]=[GroupSize],[GroupTotal])
If this is not possible in Me.recordsource, then its advisable to use recordset like writing in two different queries.
Code:
Dim ds1 As Recordset
Dim ds2 As Recordset
myquery1 = "SELECT CessioneCredito.ID_Agente, CessioneCredito.Data_Movimento, CessioneCredito.Importo, CessioneCredito.Anno, CessioneCredito.Note_Liq_Cessione_Credito, Agenzie.Denominazione
FROM CessioneCredito INNER JOIN Agenzie ON CessioneCredito.ID_Agente=Agenzie.ID_agenzia
WHERE (((CessioneCredito.ID_Agente)=[Reports]![R_StoricoCessCredAg]![ID_Agente]))"
[code]....

I wanted to assign the field "Number of magazine" with special format based on date/time format but showing only year and month in the format: "yyyy-mm".
So in property of this field in format I put yyyy-mm and in input mask I type 0000-00;;-
I also created the form based on the table containing above field and I defined format and input mask for corresponding formant in the same way like at the table.
But if I try to type date for example 2014-01 in text box of the form it comes up with the full date 2014-01-01. Why does it do like this? What do I do incorrectly?

hello,
table1_ProductList -> has the following fields:
ID (primary key,auto number)
SERNO(text)
DESCR(text)
PRICE(currency)
table2_Jobcard -> has the following fields:
ID (primary key,auto number)
PROD_DESCR_ISSUED (droplist, get 'prod desc' value from table1)
PROD_QTY_ISSUED (decimal)
DATE_ISSUED (datetime)
___________________
PROBLEM/QUESTION :
Let's say I change the PRICE(in table1) on 1 Jan 2005, then all EXISTING records (before 1/1/2004) will also be updated with the new(changed) PRICE.
This is WRONG, right?
What is the correct procedure to use/update the PRICE value ??
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Jamie.

And I thought this would be easy. I am trying to make a db of storytelling kits for my workplace. I thought it would be easy. 3 tables. Link. Make a form with the kit details and 2 subforms where I'd enter all the books for each kit and all the activities associated with the kit. Each page would show only the books/activites that the kit contained.
Pfft.
None of that worked so I'm going to be a real dummy and ask what to do with my relationships.
So far I have
Kit
-ID
-Name
-Genre (lookup table, non changeable values)
-Location
-BookID
-ActivityID
Book
-ID
-Title
-Author
-Format (lookup table to another table)
Activity
-ID
-Name
-Description
-Materials
-Age Group
Format
-Description
Format is linked to book (cause it was just so I could have an easily updated lookup). Activity and Book are both linked to Kit. Each kit has many activites and many books (fine) and I'm tempted to just leave it as each book only has one kit (even though that may not be the case in the future). How do I set it up so that it works? I enforced referential integrity but that screwed up my form by telling me that I couldn't enter data into the kit area until I'd entered it into the book area which was useless as we enter the kit details and then find things to add to it.
Any ideas...just in general.
Sorry to be a pain yet again.

I recently created a database and installed buttons to properly close the database to avoid coruption of files etc. However I could not find a way to eliminate the X button in the upper right corner of access. Today my dbase crashed, I presume because someone did not use the buttons I installed, and just closed using the X in the upper right corner of access. The database is on a network, and was not password protected at the time. It will be when it is restored, however I would still like to know if there is a way to eliminate the x button in the upper right hand corner so that users will have to use the buttons created to properly close the database.

This is kind of a weird question. I downloaded and imported a table with cities and zip codes in it. All the city names are in upper case. I want to use the city names in that table as the row source for my City text box.
But in my database, I store city names in Proper Case, with just the first letter capitalized. So when I use the table as the row source, it pulls in the city name all in upper case
Is there a way, either within Access or not, to change the city names in that table to Proper Case?

Hi Folks,
Does anyone know how I can use the Proper Function in an append query.
I have a field whereby all the data is in UPPER case, but I only want the first character of each word to be upper case.
I have looked up the Proper function, which should do the job, but when I apply it in the specified field I get an "Undefined function "Proper" in expresssion message
my expresssion is as follows: salutation: Proper([strSalutation])
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
If I have 2 date fields (start_date and end_date)
And I want o create a query, that captures everything either on or betwen those 2 dates.
Would my query be
On the start date field.
>=[Forms]![frm_PRC_Yes_search]![txt_date_start]
Then on the end Date
<=[Forms]![frm_PRC_Yes_search]![txt_date_end]
I think it is, but just want to make sure that I'm not leaving data out.

Hi,
I hoping someone might know what expression I need to create to convert text in a field in an append query to proper case.
The reason for this is that I am receiving data in all uppercase and really need it to be in proper case, that is only the first character of each word in the field is capitalised.
A field name for instance is strProductDescription and I want the data to change from "FRIDGE FREEZER" to "Fridge Freezer" on appending the data to another table, hence a proper case function or expresssion.
Any assistance would be most appreciated.

(I use the sample database "Northwind" for my question)
I wish to do as follows: I added a field to the "customers" table, and name it "customer status". This field should be updated by update query as follows:
I wish that for each customer that his total purchases wil be calculated through the "order details" table. If I multiply the "unitprice" in "quantity". I know how to make totals query, so I can see the total amount of orders per customers.
I wish that the "status" field will be update as follows: if the total amount per customer is higher than 100,000 the status will be update to "Gold Customer", if it is between 50,000 and 100,000 it will be updated to "Silver Customer" and the rest will be update to "Standard Customer"
Please advise how can I do that.
Thanks.

I am trying to build a DB to fix movie folders and file names and I am struggling to properly find the file names.
Currently I am using "DirectoryName = Dir(folder, vbDirectory)" to find the files and loop through them correcting the names as I go.
Works perfect.
The issue I am having is how to properly then look up the file within the folder since Dir is already in use for the loop.
The straightforward question is how does one look-up a child file when the parent is known without using Dir().
Below is what is works to rename parent folders. I am sure it is hack to the trained eye but it gets the job done.
folder = "E:Videos"
DirectoryName = Dir(folder, vbDirectory)
Do Until DirectoryName = ""
If DirectoryName <> "." And DirectoryName <> ".." Then
If (GetAttr(folder & DirectoryName) And vbDirectory) = vbDirectory Then
[Code] .....

I have a table which contains information about personnel. There are several fields which I want to have consistent values inputted. For example, somebody might populate the "State" field with: California, CA, Ca, or C.A. To avoid this, I created a seperate lookup table with a list of all states, fully spelled out, and the digraph abreviation associated with each state. The digraph is the primary key for this new table. In all, I have 12 such lookup tables.
Having all these extra tables, while nice for clarity sake, seems excessive. In most cases, the lookup tables really only require one column, though I've always used a minimum of two (one is an acronym set as the primary key, and one is a fully spelled out description). I'm finding the primary key is often not useful to somebody reading the data; the full description is much better.Could I have one catch all lookup table which combines all of the standardized fields which I want to use, and have no primary key for said table?

Is there a proper time? Or is it just anytime after you create the tables.
Just wondering?
I’m about to deliver part of a project today so they can start entering data. Much of the development is yet to come. Should this be split?

New to Access, and having a heck of a time learning it...or rather learning how to correctly design databases.
All my expertise is with Excel. I'm creating a project where I use Excel to parse a non comma delimited text file, then feed certain figures into an Access database. This is all through VBA.
It wasn't until yesterday that I realized I had a problem. There are two text files with data that makes up one complete record. With what I already have built, and with what I have tought myself (ADO w/ VBA wise) I tought the easiest solution would be to create two tables that will hold the data from each respective text file. This is what I'm working with:
A store has a department with 5 areas of measurement that is collected daily. One complete record would be like this:
Date | Store | Dept | Sales | Cust Count | Item Count | Avg Price | Mix
...and there are (right now) 3 stores and 15 departments that are watched in this project. What I came up with for a table design was this. Fields with an "!" prefix reflects primary keys.
Table1 (using data from txt file 1): !Date | !Store | !Dept | Sales | Mix
Table2 (using data from txt file 2): !Date | !Store | !Dept | Cust Count | Item Count | Avg Price
In each table, I have to have a compound primary key to make up what is a unique record. I just learned I could use a compound index and an autonumber as my primary key. Either way, I'm using the 3 primary keys in each table with a 1 to 1 relationship. This seems to work if I make a query.
Now, will the way I did it hold up? Is there a better, more correct way to do it?
Thank you for the time & help!

Hello all:
I have a database with the following fields: Last_name, First_name and Mid_name.
These fields are concatenated into a field called Full_name using this method: =[First_name]&" "&[Mid_name]&" "&[Last_name].
I wish to have the Full_name field convert the text in it to proper case.
Any ideas on how to go about it?
Thanking in advance,
Dion

I have updated my copy of a database which included updates to a number of forms. I now want to import those changes into the proper database, so I used the Import function. I didnt get any errors when I imported everything, but the forms do not work as they did in my copy of the database.
One of the forms that dont work comprises of a number of drop down boxes, I have updated these so that the user has a filtered selection, to do this I put an SQL function in the Row Source property. This SQL function has been copied over correctly in the imported form, in fact when I go into the form in design view to check this fact then revert it back to normal view (after having not changed anything) it then works and all the other drop down boxes that didnt work on that form now work! How can viewing a form in design view and not changing anything make it now work?
So I could go into each form in the design view, check the Row Source property, then revert back to normal view and it would solve the problem of my forms not working, but, this database that I am importing the forms into is the back end of a split database and the first thing that the front end of the database does is import the changed objects into its database but the forms dont work.I have made changes in this way before and not had any problems before.

I have attachments I want to store in my database, most are images, some are excel files, etc. I'm sure its better to store a reference to the file instead of the attachment itself. Whats the best way to do something like this? Id like the attachment to still be displayed in the form if its an image...
