All,
I am using an Make-Table query to add many new fields to a Table using Fieldname: "".
However, when I use this, it sets the Allow Zero Length to No.
Is there code that I can use to stop this happening?
I am using this method for multiple fields and across multiple tables.
Your help appreciated,
Jem
Hello all,
I have a table, with a whole series of reference numbers in, which I have moved over from an old database, and am trying to integrate the data into my new database.
The numbers, in order to work with my new db need to be 6 characters long (as they are looked up in a sql-stored table that another application uses), otherwise it won't match up the clients to the reference numbers properly.
Anyway, some of these numbers are 6 digits anyway, such as 123456, but some are just 6543....I need 6543 to be changed to 006543, thereby creating a 6 digit number.
This, I am sure, is pretty simple, and only needs to be done the once - but I can't think of a way of doing it!
Any help much appreciated!
I'm using Access 2010 and cannot find where I can set my fields in a table to allow for allowzerolength.
Is there still a location, under table properties etc, where this can be set?
I would likw for my first and last name fields width to match the length of the name. So if the last name is Smith then the field width will resize itself to fit perfect fit the name. Then if I have a last name of Connor then it will grow to fit it perfect. I dont need this but it will be nice so everything looks a bit nicer an cleaner. I thought the following would have worked:
Code : Me.Lastname.width = Len(Me.Lastname]
I have a totalquery that runs fine and give me the sum for both fields I'm looking for but I can't get the outputs to fill the fields on the form. I have tried the Dcount query in the control source but that just returns an error and locks up access.
Code:
SELECT [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, Sum([Tble-wcDelays].HoursDelay) AS SumOfHoursDelay
FROM [Tble-wcDelays]
GROUP BY [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, [Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID
HAVING ((([Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID)=[Forms]![Frm-ePlusCent]![cleanID]));
That is the query.
I reached the limit of 255 fields in a table. I just need to add one more field so I deleted several fields I no longer needed thinking I would then be able to add one more new field. However, I am still unable to add one more field. How to free up fields that are no longer needed?

I am creating a small database to house results of certain tests. Is there a function in access that allows me to add fields if a result is out of the specification required. In other words I still need to record the out of spec results but I also need more fields to appear for the next lot of results to be entered, for example.
When cooking a batch of product I need to test the pH at the 30 minute mark if the pH is too low I will continue cooking the product for another 30 minutes and then test the product again. The cook time is not a constant so I never know how many samples are required, therefore I don't know how many fields i would need in advanced.
Im doing a project at school and it involves adding 2 entities and then the answer being displayed in another entitiy i have searched the forums but with no luck is it possible at all.

Is this possible pls ?
Thank You
I need to add new fields to and existing form. I have added the fields to the table the form is based on. When I am in design view for the form I open the fields icon to add the fields but the fields are not showing up. How can I get the fields to show up so they can be added to the form?
Thanks

My company has a microsoft access table with about 1200 IDs containing names, addresses etc.
Now I want to print this out in an excel sheet because I want to create address stickers, but I want every cell in the excell sheet to add information about the columns in the database together. I might be very unclear, let me demonstrate what I mean:
The Acess file might look like this:
id | name | address
1 | john | Street 01
2 | sara | Street 02
Now I want to have 2 excell cells which contain the information like this:
name_address
name_address
In my example, 2 cells with the following information:
john Street 01
sara Street 02
So I dont want 4 cells, I want to add the information together from 1 Id to 1 cell, but I also want to add linebreaks to it, It must eventually become an address sticker
How can this be done?
Hello, I have what I believe to be a very basic, albeit wordy question regarding an Access based mailing list that I am designing. For the scope of this project, I have 7 fields: Position (the position of the person recieveing the mailer, So far all I have is the "Principal", these are all schools) Name (The name of the school), Address, City, State, Zip and SchoolID (this is the primary key and will be hidden)
My question is: How can I add multiple positions per School (Name)? I need to add 1st through 6th grade teachers as well as the councilor to each location. So each of these people will be sent a mailer. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to ask any questions needed.
Thank you
His is itpossible to make abutton in access and then assign a equation to it to add the dat in two of the fields together, for example adding the "stock level" and the "re-order level together? ifso could some please tell me how greatly appreciated cheers
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have 2 fields in a table 1. called CommAmtDue and the other called CommAmtPd, When the user inputs a value in the CommAmtPd I want the CommAmtDue - CommAmtPd = CommAmtBal
I want this value to be stored in another field in the same table called CommAmtBal
I can do the formula in a query but how can I get the value to be stored in the field to user for later.

Hi,
I have tried to add up fields in a table but am struggling to get it to work. Can anyone help please.
In design view of tables, I have four fields (that I will be using in a a form eventually);
RaffleIncome
AlmsIncome
OtherIncome
TotalIncome
I want to get the TotalIncome field to automatically be the total sum of any or all of the other three.
I have tried putting =[RaffleIncome]+[Almsincome]+OtherIncome} in the control box of the TotalIncome field (a guess) in a form I made, and it gives me the total sum of the others three but does not save when I look at it in the table view. (that is, the TotalIncome column remains £0.00)
I am learning as I go along and am okay figuring some stuff out, but this has got me a bit frustrated, and I guess I cannot see the wood for the trees !
Thanks anyone

hi all
i can do simple additions in access but i have been asked to calculate fields in different tables
all i need to do is
i have 2 tables in my database
Table 1:main_database
Table 2:Security 2_3
and i have in table 1 got 1 field called Estimated security value
and in table 2 i have 2 fields called Sec 2 estimated value and Sec 3 estimated value
all i need to do is add all of the fields together in query or field in a form
i have tried =([Estimated security value]+[Security 2 & 3]![Sec 2 estimated value])+[Security 2 & 3]![Sec 3 estimated value]
but i get '#name error
thanks in advance

This is going to sound like a bizarre question, but, here it goes. Is there a way to add more than 255 fields to a table? Or is 255 the cutoff? Also, if you have two table with different information on one client, is there a way to add a client to one table and have it automatically add it to the second? Sorry about all of the wierd questions. Let me know if you know anything.

I have created my tables, relationships and I have gotten halfway through my forms and I have realised that I have missed out a field in a table.
How can I go back and change this without screwing everything up (I believe that would be the best terminology to discribe an error :))?
Thanks :D

I am completely new to access so if this question seems really simple then i apologise. If this has appeared elsewhere on this forum i apologise again!
Can you tell me if the following is possible
I have a table called AA1 containing the following fields:
(PKey)Refno
StudentNo
PC1
PC2
PC3
PC4
PC5
PC6
Range1a
Range1b
What i would like to do is create another two fields called PC total and Range total whereby i create a formula that will add the totals of the PCs for each student )which will then be entered into the PC total column and the same for the ranges.
I am unable to do it using the query function as i have over 225 diffrerent fields overall so i thought if i could create a totals field i could use these for my queries therefore negating the need to include all the seperate fieids, pc1 pc2 pc3 etc...
the above fields are all in number format.
I have probably not explained myself very well and if you need any more information (im guessing yes) then please let me know.
thanks in advance

Ok, I'm absolutely positive I'm missing something totally simple here... Someone give me a clue...
I have a database whereby I track academic performance of students in our program. I am trying to use last year's table to calculate how many hours each student earned during all three semesters.
In many cases, students did not enroll in all three semesters, so I am dealing with Null values in many of the fields. The easiest way would be to do something with the Nz function such as follows:
HrsEarnedLastAY: Sum(Nz([HrsEarnedFall],0)+Nz([HrsEarnedSpring],0)+Nz([HrsEarnedSummer],0))
But what I am getting is the numbers in a string! Say, a student earned 12 hours in the fall, and 10 hours in the spring, and didn't attend at all in the summer. The answer I'm getting in the calculated field is 1210, rather than 22. I've tried about 50 permutations of the above expression and I truly can't see why it isn't adding the fields together... I have also tried this with parenthesis around each Nz: (Nz([HrsEarnedFall],0)) , same result.
The Sum function does not recognize Null fields, but I thought I could use the Nz function to account for that. If I can't use Nz with Sum, how the heck do I add these numbers?
What I need to do is create a table with these hours totaled, and then update my main table from it. I could conceivably add the fields together in a report, but then I don't have any way to update my main table other than simple data entry.
I really do not want to have to go back into almost 700 records and add in zeros in multiple fields just because I'm missing something stupid.
You'd think an application as powerful as Access would be able to add 2+2 and get 4...
Any help would be most appreciated...
I created a form from the wizard. In the wizard, I added fields from two tables. Now, after the form is complete (and I've edited it in Design view so that it looks how I want it), I want to add another field from a third table.
Although I can add fields from the first two tables that were originally included (by clicking on the "Field List" icon and dragging fields from that list), I can't find a way to add fields from any other tables in my database. The "Field List" dialog box doesn't contain any fields from anything but the first two tables.
How to I get fields from other tables into the "Field List" dialog box?
Thanks,
Kelly
I have a Combo Box that places the Address into the given Address field. How can I have it place the second and third cloumns, from the Combo Box into the next two adjacent fields on the Form (Last Name & First Name)?
Please describe in detail, not just code, but where a how it goes. I am new at this thing.
