hey guys i have the following line in my query for removing seconds from a time/date stamp and all works great except one thing if the time is 10:02 it is showing as 10:2 anyway of getting it showing correctly?
I can't display a 17 digit number in my table without losing the last couple of digits to 'rounding'. I've tried 'doubling' the field size but to no avail....whatever I attempt loses the last couple of digits to a 'nice round figure'.....
The numbers had initially been imported as text...which is really what they ought to be as they're identification numbers, but I had some issues using the find 'duplicate values' query and conjectured that was because the ID numbers had been defined as text---->though I could be wrong.
The VAL function works (to convert the text to numbers) but again -- I lose the detail of the last couple of digits.
I've been beating my head against this wall the entire day and at the very least, would like to know if what I'm attempting is viable. I've stumbled through function queries (with some success) and react like a deer in the headlights when it comes to VBA....
Hi. I have major report due within hours. I need to add a field to existing table that will be a 9 digit number, non duoplicating or - to take an existing field of 9 digits and allow it's values to change to random or incremental, non-duplicate numbers of 9 digits. I already have an autonumber field I must keep.
i have a jobref (pk) as text at the moment because i tried it as Number data type and had a problem..a reference number is made and when the date loses focus the refno is displayed in its textboxthis makes that refnoPrivate Sub cbojobdate_LostFocus()Dim maxRef As Variant, maxID As IntegerDim codeDate As String, maxDate As String codeDate = Format(cbojobdate, "MMYY") maxRef = DMax("jobref", "job", "jobref like '" & codeDate & "*'") If (IsNull(maxRef)) Then 'test for new month maxID = 0 'reset id to 0 Else maxDate = Left(maxRef, 4) 'get date code maxID = CInt(Right(maxRef, 4)) 'convert to int End If Me.cbojobref = codeDate & Format(maxID + 1, "0000")End Sub8 digits.. so a job on september 6th 2006 will have a ref no of 09060001a job on february 1st 2006 will have ref no of 02060001when i send the jobref to another form using this..Private Sub cbojobfrom_AfterUpdate()If Me.cbojobfrom = "t1" ThenMe.cbojobfrom = "LHR - T1"End IfIf Me.cbojobfrom = "t2" ThenMe.cbojobfrom = "LHR - T2"End IfIf Me.cbojobfrom = "t3" ThenMe.cbojobfrom = "LHR - T3"End IfIf Me.cbojobfrom = "t4" ThenMe.cbojobfrom = "LHR - T4"End IfIf Me.cbojobfrom = "h" ThenMe.cbojobfrom = "LHR"End IfIf Me.cbojobfrom = "ga" ThenMe.cbojobfrom = "Gatwick Airport"End IfIf Me.cbojobfrom = "gn" ThenMe.cbojobfrom = "Gatwick North"End IfIf Me.cbojobfrom = "gs" ThenMe.cbojobfrom = "Gatwick South"End IfIf Me.cbojobfrom = "st" ThenMe.cbojobfrom = "Stansted"End IfIf Me.cbojobfrom = "lc" ThenMe.cbojobfrom = "London City Airport"End IfIf Me.cbojobfrom = "lu" ThenMe.cbojobfrom = "Luton Airport"End IfDoCmd.OpenForm "job_cash_inflight", , , "[jobref]='" & [jobref] & "'"End Suband the job_cash_inflight form loads it with this..Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)Me.[jobref].DefaultValue = Forms!job_cash_single![jobref]End Subthe problem is when i choose february the first for example02060001.. when the reference number transfers to the incoming flight form.. it displays as 2060001can anyone see why because before it transfers the refno.. the original job record has already been saved.. maybe when the id is being created it is not the best way.. or it doesnt match the text datatype.. if that is the case what number datatype shall i use in each of the tables jobref appears in?
I have a datasheet with 7 columns. Two of the columns I'm working with are listed below.
File # Region # 2DE2-12345 2 3DE2-@@@ 3
In data sheet view I would like the Region # column to autofill based on the first digit of the file #. So, if file # entered = 3DE3-@@@@ then 3 would auto fill in Region Column. (data is entered in data sheet view)
I have used Left ([File #],1) to get value but cant make it auto populate the Region # column......
I have a field where a user has to input numbers. This number at most will have 8 digits. Something like 00000001 or 00001234. I want access to show those zero's before the number but I can't do it. Any suggestions.
I am running a query to pull the left 4 numbers from an X coordinate the first 3 numbers from a Y and I need to make the final Serial Number at least 5 digits but the numbers in the table range from 3 to 5 digits.
The Question:
How do i add 0's in front of a number to make it at least 5 digits?
I have the following so far to pull the data with the exception of the 5 digits for the serialnum:
I have been messing with this for a while And i am losing my head- I am not very good with access, Never was taught it either, but I can duplicate almost anything just by looking at it and trial and error. but this auto number and adding the tech and labor and parts feild to total up in to the total column. I will try to attach the file so you can take a look at what I have and see where I am screwing up at. or what ever I am missing. or is there a way to duplicate last years (which works fine) but I dont want any of the data. just all the propert fields.
I have a query that captures date values from a table based on a between function that works fine. What I would like to do is associate a sequence number fro each date value returned and either perform a make table or leave it as a select query. If I create a table I know that I aam able to add an autonumber field but the query is executed frequently and performing the addition of the autonumber field is not feesible. Any thoughts how I can generate the sequence number each time the query is executed?
I have a table with 100,000 plus unique rows and I want to add a column (call it 'ID') and place a value in each row starting with 000001 and adding one on to each row. What is the correct code to do this. I've tried with various combinations of For...next but can't get anything to work.
I have a daabase that I am importing via excel. I want the entries to be numbered ex: MT0001 MT0002 etc....
I would like it to promt the user for the last number(or next number in sequence) entered, then fill in the blank records with the next increment number. The prefix will also change to so eventually the user would enter into the prompt RD0001. then autofill the 140 imported records with RD0002, rd0003... etc....
I can't really make seperate fields because the MT0001 number will become a barcode and putting them seperate causes many issues.
can this be done? Any help would be great I am still a beginner but slowly learning! Thanks!
I'm just looking for a way to add an additional column to a select query that will just be autonumbered down all the way to the bottom of the data. How can I accomplish this?
Adding a second auto number field to current table and auto numbering current entries?
I need to combine some records from the same order number that currently have detailed names. I'm trying to simplify them, but I can't because it creates duplicate records.
I am working on a database where the records are numbered sequentially. On a regularly basis, records will be deleted leaving a gap in the record number sequence. I would like to have my db recognize that a number(s) is number in the sequence and use the missing number (filling in the gaps) when a new record(s) is added until all spaces are filling and then to continue from the largest number sequentially.
I have a field for Item Price. It would be a currency field, but I want it to be able to work with up to 6 decimal places. currency only seems to handle 4. So, in the table, i changed it to a Single. In the form, I left the control on Currency.
If I type in $1.43, instead of storing $1.43000000 it stores $1.43003243953
Why is it adding all these bogus sub decimal numbers? Any clue?
I have a form which allows the user to add new records to a table. After the user had entered all the information into the form, they click a command button to add the record. In addition to adding the new record, my command button runs an query which is supposed to generate a random number between 1 & 1,000,000,000 and update the record ID field with that number.
Here is the formula I have been using in the "update To" now of my query: Int((1000000000-1+1)*Rnd()+1)
My problem is that I keep getting duplicates. You would think that the chances of getting a duplicate number would be pretty small with this large of a range, but I get a duplicate almost every time.
I have tried indexing (No duplicates) the field in the table, but that did not work. When my query generated a duplicate number, the record was just not added to the table.
I also tried a two step approach: 1-Make a table of all in use record ID numbers from my table (tblIdNo) 2-Update new record with a random number that is not in tblIdNo
This was a no-go too
How to build an update query that will update each new record added to the table with a random number between 1 & 1,000,000,000 without any duplicates? This seems like it should be so simple, and I am starting to get really frustrated.
I would prefer to accomplish this through a query/queries (if possible) rather than with 100 lines of code. This database is not for me, it's for another group, and the individuals in this group are totally freaked out by code.
I have a WO Table and a related WO Procedures Table. I would like to add a specific # of blank lines/records between each record but that # will vary. So the report will show the WO Procedure Desc then a specified # of blank lines below it and then the next WO Procedures Desc then a specified # of blank lines below it etc.
I thought to add a field to the Proc tbl called #ofLines and whatever number was entered would be the # of blank lines to appear below the record on the report.
I am not sure if it is possible to implement this but I would like your input. We get request from client via a web based form which contains a unique ID number called RDEFNumber. When we process the request internally, we use this number to identify the request throughout the process. The request from client contains processing of multiple files which are transmitted to us in different times of the day or days.
Every time we receive a file, an email is sent to the IT team with all the information about the file. We use an internal database to send the email to the IT team and use the RDEFNumber as the identifier in the subject line. What I am trying to do is to add an additional number at the end of the RDEFNumber automatically to differentiate the subject line.
For example, we take "1791" as a RDEFNumber. For the first time we enter 1791 to the database RDEFNumber field, it should check the table "tblRDEF" (record source) for duplicate value. If no Duplicate exists, it should keep the number as same. When we get the next file for processing with the same 1791 number and enter this number in the RDEFNumber field, it should automatically change it to "1791-1" since "1791" already exists in the database. When we get the next file, the number should change to "1791-2" and then "1791-3" and on.
Currently if an employee attends a mandatory training session the details are entered individually into in a single table which contains all the employees' attendances to training, this is achieved via a bound form.
Works Fine.
My question is, if the training is carried out by a number of employees can this attendance be recorded on one form and assigned to each of the employees who attended?
