General :: Create A Button On Form To Convert Data To Text File Template
Jul 14, 2015I'm currently working on a project within access which will allow users to select/input information in a form which will then save to the database.
What I need is to create a button on the form which will allow you to convert the data collected from the form to a custom text file template.
(Or maybe the last row added to the database. - although this may cause errors. Example: the form information doesn't save which will in turn create a text file with the data collected from the previous job)
The custom text file template should have a sentence description followed by the value recorded from the form.
Example:
1 configuration type: (data from form)
2 model type: (data from form)
3 Poc: (data from form)
And so on.
So in summary - I would be to use the form to collect the desired information which will save to the database.
Once actioned, a custom text file should be populated with the collected information (with specific data placement as per the example above)....
Text Field That Needs Calculation
Apr 16, 2008So here is my problem i am semi access savy but i have having trouble with one thing. At work when we make a schedule there are 5 possibilites for how you want to mark your day. I have created a field using text as my parameters since my possibilities include both letters and numbers. At the end of each week I need to create a calcuation only utilizing the number which is 1 to add up the total shifts in the week.
I have tried some IIF statements with no luck. The 5 possiblities are 1, c,r,a,l. Each of the letters stand for something. When the scheduler runs the query he needs to see the letters or the number for each day. But i can't create a properly working calculated field for adding all of the 1's together only. The letters don't need to be added. Any ideas?
Also I have to run a sum for the total of each day at the bottom so I am running into the same problem there if there is any letters in the boxes. Going to a number field is not an option
thanks for the help

View 1 Replies View RelatedForms :: Data Entry Form For Specific Assets
Jun 26, 2013I have a bank of 8 machines, I need the user to enter one record for each machine in order. I currently have these machines in a combo box, but any other method would be fine.
When the user opens the data entry screen, I need it to open a data entry with that machine selected and the machine number pasted to the [Machine_No] field, when the user has finished entering the data (mainly yes/no tick boxes) I need them to click a "Next" button and have the data entry form to move on to the next record, the next machine on the list. This needs to be done in machine order as listed. I would then like the "Next" button to be hidden or disabled or changed to "Finished" (Close Form button)when at the last machine in the list.
Is this possible. I am using Access 2010 ...

Query Calculation Depedent On Form Text Box
Mar 6, 2008I have a make table query which needs to take the column "Amount Orig Ccy" from the table "Consolidated Reporting Table Orig CCY", divide it by the Canadian Spot rate input by the user into text box "Spot" on the form "Summary Form", and then populate the column "Amount USD" with the returns.
Should I be using the DLookup function? I tried the below without success:
Amount USD: DLookUp("Amount Orig Ccy","Consolidated Reporting Table Orig CCY"/[Forms]![Summary Forms]![Spot])
Then I tried this, again failing:
Amount USD: DLookUp("Amount Orig Ccy / Spot Rate","Consolidated Reporting Table Orig CCY","Spot Rate =" & [Forms]![Summary Forms]![Spot])
Is it a syntax issue or will DLookUp not work for what I need?
Thanks for any help.

Adding Ellipses To Text Field
Aug 5, 2014Basically I have a text box on a form that needs to be a certain size. The actual text that is populating the text box is too many characters to be displayed. How do I make the text box display the first 3 characters and then an ellipses following?
Also I thought about making a new unbound textbox with ellipses, however, my form is continuous, so even though the some text boxes have empty strings, the ellipses will still be present.
Some pseudocode of what I'm guessing it will look like:
[(If(String(Me![NotesField] > 3 characters) then Return(Left(String(Me![NotesField], 3)" & "..."))]
Import Text File Plus Adding A Field
Feb 8, 2007Hi,
I'm importing the contents of lots of text files using a combination of a loop and DoCmd.TransferText.
This works fine and I can get the contents of several hundred files in a few seconds. The files are called 1.dbb, 2.dbb... and each has an associated image file, 1.bmp, 2.bmp... etc. After the import I move the files to a new folder.
I need to create a link to the bmp file but this information is not included in the text file so I need to rely on a field which contains the file name.
How can I populate a field at import time to include the name of the imported file?
Anyone give me a clue please.
Regards,
Bernard D

View 2 Replies View RelatedForms :: Text Field Auto Update When Adding New Records

2 Forms

frmCandidates form to view Candates information
I have placed add new candidate button on the frmJobs form which opens the candidate form in the add mode as a blank form. This is fine but I'm looking to add a record where it picks up the "Job Reference" text field value from the main frmJobs and update it in the "Job Refernce" text field on the frmCandidate when I click add new candidate.
How can I achieve this? I'm fairly new to access/vba
Global Field For Calculation In A Form
Aug 22, 2005OK, I figured out how to make a calculation. My big problem now is to have a global field, which would be "beginning balance" and "ending balance". I have 5 employees that share the budget. The budget starts at $1280.00. One employee may buy somthing one day and then another day while another employee may also buy something. I want to be able to put in the amount the employee spent and have it deduct from the balance. But then when I go to another employee and subtract what they spend I want that to subtract from the balance. I want the balance to be visible at all times no matter what employee I am on. Hope this makes sense. I have an attached file that shows how I did it for one employee. Cannot figure how to be able to do it for each employee and just the balance changes. Also I built a subform to be able to show different dates. But the problem again is having it subtract from one global balance. Thank you.

Forms :: Adding Text Boxes In Form
Apr 14, 2015I am trying to sum the row in a access form. There are 3 text boxed called TXT1, TXT2, TXT3. I have added an additional text box and typed the following txt;
=([TXT1]+[TXT2]+[TXT3])
Instead of totalling the row it just puts the number together. For example TXT1 contains 1. TXT2 contains 2, and TXT3 contains 3 so the answer should be 6 (1+2+3) but it shows 123. I have tried putting SUM in front but that gives me the total of the whole column not just that row.
Forms :: Adding Text Box In Bound Form That Appends To Another Table
Aug 26, 2014I have a form AddNewEquipment. This is bound to a table, EquipmentDetails.
EquipmentDetails has a Yes/No field, 'ParentChoice'. So when EquipmentDetails.ParentChoice = Yes, I want to open up a new text box, AddNewEquipment.ParentDescr, into which someone can put some text. This text I want to append as a new row in a different table, ParentList.ParentName. (that table also has an autonumber field)
I only want to do the save when I save the whole form.
Is this something like using an On Lost Focus event from the ParentDescr field which only invokes when the overall form save button is clicked? What would I put in the On Lost Focus event.

Assets Database Query
Aug 30, 2005I am building a simple assets database to help me with my work. This is what I did:
I created a table with following columns:
1) Bill ID - unique number of the asset bill, created by the accounting software.
2) ID of the supplier
3) Month
4) Type of the bill (code such as RI for investments, RO for activated assets etc.)
5) Date
6) Basic non-taxed value.
There is a 20% tax on assets. 19% OF the 20% tax is added to the base non-taxed value - I get the starting value of the asset before amortisation begins.
So far so good, my query works perfect, does everything right, however:
Every now and then (less than 10 times per year) I get assets from suppliers that are free of tax. That means that the value on the bill = starting asset value, and there is no need for adding the 19% of the tax back to the asset value. I don't know how to exclude those bills from the process.
The way I figured it theoreticaly, it can be done like this:
1) I could store the tax-free supplier codes in a separate table and make the query perform a check against the column 2 (supplier ID), and if it findds the supplier there, the base value is taken as a final value.
2) I could make all non-taxed bills have an unique tag for the non-taxed bills(column 4 - type of the bill), and make the query check against those.
I have no clue how to make any of those, so I hope someone here could help me.
Thank you!
