I am extremely new to access. I am trying to add a combo box to one of my columns. Basically i have about ten columns of which a couple of them I want to have combo boxes so that the information that is in each of these columns is standardized. Currently all I have is my ten columns with headings set out.
View RepliesI'm looking for a way to have a text box auto fill based on the selection of a combo box on the same form. I cannot use the method i find all over the internet of using multiple columns in the combo box and basing the text box on that because the combo box already has multiple columns being used to determine its own possibilities and other combo box possibilities.
I would really just like the text box to work like this, but im still kinda inexperienced in VBA...
If combo box is "F004-001", then text box is "237"
If combo box is "F004-003", then text box is "280"
I know how to add in an "after update" thing, but i do not know how to do If/then statements.
Hi..I have three tables A ,B and C, which have fields A,B and C respectively.
I want to do that following default calulation
A.a=B.b+C.c
meaning adding two columns of different tables and storing it in a third column.
It works for me in the forms but I want to do that in the table.
Is there any way to go about it
Regards
Rahul
Background info: I have created a database that consists of 22 tables that contains hundereds of electronic components seperated by type. In each table are columns for evey project so that i can determine what projects each component is used in.
Everytime there is a new project i need to add the new column to every table. Is there a way to add the column to every table in one step rather than having to do it seperately for each table? Every table set up the same, same number of columns and column titles and everything.
Thanks

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have to add the row data in two columns together. I used
val([COLUMN 1])+val([COLUMN 2]) and it works unless one of the columns has a zero in it. For example if column 1 is 25 and column 2 is NULL it runs the query but puts a #ERROR in those rows. Please help.
Hi guys, Excuse my novice questions.
I have a query in which i did two things: defined a Column "Line Item Cost " as Sum ( using the dropdown in Design Grid of the query).
Then i calculated another field: Expr13 which is:
Expr 13: Sum([Line Item Cost]+ [Change Request Total Cost])
So, If Line Item Cost = 1363000 and Change Request Total Cost = -40000, then
Expr13 : 1363000-40000 = 1323000, but i am getting the values: 1283000(Somehow the value is getting doubled before addition)
Please look at the attached Document.
Please Help!
Thanks,

Hey,
How can I add an aggregated column to an existing query?
For example:
I have 3 fields (a, b, c), each holding numbers. I want to add a fourth field which will average or use any other aggregated function on the 3 fields (but not by doing it manually).
I have table with one of the columns with number (amount) that can be positive or negative.
I want to add new column of sign - 'H' for positive or 'S' for negative.
I have a sharepoint list linked into my access database and every time when I work with queries and try to add up them up it causes the information to display in a text string. What to do in order to resolve this issue. For example, instead of $1,000+$5,000=$6,000 it will show 1,0005,000 as one string but not add them up.

I have 120 tables, each with the same name except 2 identifying characters at the end eg pc_dist_ab, pc_dist_al
Each table currentnly has 3 columns.
I would like to be able to add 2 additonal columns to each table with one query and was hoping an alter table query where the table name matches pattern would have worked but evidently not.
Is there a way to build some sort of dynamic query to add extra columns to these different tables at the same time?
To save another post I guess Once this is done I would then like to create 1 main table by creating a new table and appending all the files together- again I would prefer to be able to run this once.
I'd appreciate any help/thoughts as to whether this can be done?:confused:
Thanks
In the tutorial listed here: [URL]....
It states after opening the database in Datasheet view :
In the Navigation pane, double-click the table in which you want to create the lookup column - this opens the table in datasheet view.
On the Datasheet tab, in the Fields & Columns group, click the lookup column.
And it show you some icons.
I coulnt figure out how to reply to a reply. This is a follow up question to a previous post.
I can now create a new column in my access db through my web form.
Here is the script:
ALTER TABLE FAQ ADD City varchar(30)
this adds a new column called city.
Here is my problem:
Every time a user asks a question, that question will be in the new column created.
I need the newly created columns to have unique names.
I tried creating a form with a text file (to simulate where they type in their question) then post to post.asp.
post.asp holds the script.
I replaced city with ::T1:: (the variable of the text file), but got an error.
Creating columns dynamically is worthless unless there is a way to make the column names unique.
Can anyone shed some light on this problem for me?
Much appreciated

My database has three tables with many columns. The three tables are identical in the names of their columns.
I want to copy all columns from all three tables together into one single table, giving the respective columns prefix table1-, table2-, table3- since the columns would otherwise be indistinguishable.
I already tried to search the board for "table columns add prefix".
I use Access 2010
I managed to copy all columns together into one table through design-view, but cannot figure out the "add prefix" step.
Access file attachment in the form below if you want to add two columns (like other columns with the capability to filter).

Hi,
I am fairly new to doing DBA, and I am having trouble adding a new column to a table that is existing. Is there any simple way to do this or does it have to be done throught code? And if so how.

I have two collums, currentowed and currentpaid. i want to add another field to my report showing the percent of currentpaid to currentowed but I can't seem to be able to make it work. I tried:
=sum([currentpaid]/[currentowed]) and it doesn't work.
I'm trying to make a database to track inventory or several items. Basically, I have four tables:
1) RawMaterialList - includes a list of all raw materials.
2) PartList - includes a list of all finished product using said raw materials.
3) RawMaterialRecieving - contains details from each packing slip of incoming raw materials.
4) ShipmentRecord - contains details of daily shipments.
Each of these tables is fed by a form of the same name. I should note at this point that I basically taught myself how to use Access and I imagine I'm in the dark about quite a few things it can do. I've made several databases over the last few years, but I'm stumped at this point.
Here's my problem. In the form RawMaterialReceiving, I have several fields aside from basic information:
1) Item - a list of of raw materials from table RawMaterialList
2) Description - also dependent on info entered into table RawMaterialList
3) Quantity
But, I have 12 of these instances.
Item1, Item2...Item12;
Description1, Description2...Description12;
Quantity1, Quantity2...Quantity12.
My problem is I want to add up the quantities of each raw material and I'm not sure how to go about that. Lets say on May 13, I received 15pcs of Part A and 20pcs of Part B. I enter this information as Item1 and Item2 respectively. On May 14, I received 30pcs of Part B. I enter this information under Item1. Now I want to add up all of Part B (50 pcs). But Part B has one value listed in the field Quantity1 and one value listed in the field Quantity2.
Example:
1st Entry:
May 13
Item1 = PartA Description1 = PartA's description Quantity1 = 15
Item2 = PartB Description2 = PartB's description Quantity2 = 20
2nd Entry:
May 14
Item1 = PartB Description1 = PartB's description Quantity1 = 30
How do I get it to add up Part B to get 50pcs?
Ive been converting .xls files to Access database files. I would like to use ACCESS to develop the Reports but the client wants the Reports to look like those in EXCEL..eg. where you have lines between rows and columns. If I could give my Access Reports the same look and feel, I could wean these guys off of Excel and into the wonderful world of relational models.
Does anyone have sqlcode or tricks I might use to create the Excel 'look alike' report in Access?
thks in advance...and I will sum.

i have a combo box reading in two fields from a table - id and name. Is it possible to have "autofill" pick up the name but when i make my selection, the id becomes selected.
i.e. if i have these:
ID NAME
1 Pete
2 Dave
3 Alan
and i type in "Dav" and press enter, the value in the combo box will be the id "2".
thanks
hi all
i have a drop down combo with 2 columns. the left column stores the value and the right column places a value in a text box uisng =[txtbox].column(1)
it works fine until i have a duplicate value in the left column. the right column makes the value unique. eg.
column0 column1
s1..............02
s1..............03
the problem ocurrs when choosing from the cbo with the same value. it always seems to slip back and choose the value with the lowest .column(1) value. in the above example, if I select s1 03, for some reason after the cbo drops back up, s1 02 is selected.... even though i didn't select it. weird!
Clearly i'm doing something access doesn't like.
Any ideas are much appreciated.
