Drive Verification OnOpen
Oct 19, 2005Is there a way to verify the drive that an FE is opening from and then close if it is not where is should be?
I have a frontend that gets copied to each users C: drive by a .bat file. However, some just don't care about rules and proceedures and continue to open the frontend on the network drive. Since they map their drive to a specific letter drive for the BE that is where they are opening the FE from.
Thanks

Entering Data Twice For Verification
Feb 21, 2006I have a db with the following fields: ID, Customer first name, customer last name, account number, date, time, score1, score 2.
My problem is this: We are running a promotion in which the customers receive a score. This score must be entered correctly as we are highly regulated, however the users are constantly fat fingering or miss typing the data. I want to force the score 1 and score 2 fields to match before the record can be saved.
Any suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated; I have to go in every night to correct these errors manually, which defeats the purpose of this db.
MS Access Verification With Form Help
Feb 12, 2008Hi I have a form that I would like to check an MS database (.mdb) to verify the user exists in a field before allowing the form to go through. If the field doesn’t exist, is there a way to have the form redirect to a certain page? ..Also I noticed within the database, there are different categories within, does that make a difference with the coding?
Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you!
Form:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
function processForm(f) {
f._recipients.value = f.Email.value;
}

Forms :: Verification Rule Based On Data In Another Field
Mar 5, 2015I want to set a rule where employees cannot change the "Status" from "Active" to "Closed" if there is no date entered in the "Actual Closure Date" field.
The 2 fields I am trying to create a rule for are called 'Actual Closure Date' and 'Status'.When we raise an incident the 'Status' is set to 'Active' and the 'Actual Closure Date' field is left blank as it hasn't yet been closed.What I want to do is prevent people setting the 'Status' to 'Closed' when they havent entered a date in the 'Actual Closure Date' field.The Form name is called 'Issue Details' and the information is stored in a table called 'Issues'.
Query How To Show A Temp Address Over A Perm Address
Jun 19, 2007Hope you can help!
I have an access table which lists a customers address, however, if the customer has a temporary address it will also list that on a separate line -
CustID Address Type
1234 5 The Street P
1234 12 The Street T
2345 13 The Road P
3456 12 The Avenue P
Where P = Permanent and T = Temporary
I want to set up a query to show the permanent address where there is only one address, but where the customer has a temporary address also, I want to list the temporary one instead.
Thanks
Email Address, Web Address, Hyperlinks, Etc..
Aug 9, 2006I have a form bound to a table which stores contact info for a person. I have two controls that are email_address and website_address. I set them both as hyperlinks.
So now when the user clicks on the email_address Outlook opens a new message with an email_address in the To field. (I had to use a function found on this forum to replace the "htttp" with "mailto" on AfterUpdate event in order for this to work properly.) However, now trying to add some other features to my DB I ran into problems listed below. I wonder if I should have rather left that control as Text instead of Hyperlink, and use the DoCmd.SendObject on doubleclick event instead of using the above solution.
How people usually store email addresses and enable emailing on click?
The problems I ran into:
1) My main form is in popup mode and therefore right click on the hyperlink does not give an option to edit the hyperlink
2) I copied a function from this forum which gathers a list of emails and sends one message to the emaillist. However, my email list instead of generating as:
email1@a.com; email2@b.com
it generates as:
email1@a.com#mailto:email1@a.com#; email2@b.com#email2@b.com#
I guess I could extract the email using vba (not sure how), but I still don't know how to solve issue number 1. So maybe it is better to siwtch the field to plain text and forget the hyperlinks?
Thanks,
Mariusz
PS. What procedure on double click would open a default browser, since I also have to deal with web addresses and thought of turning them into text controls?
How To Sort By IP Address
Aug 29, 2005I am completely stumped on this one. I have a database where we track IP Addresses and I just want to sort by IP...should be simple, I'd think.
With these 5 IP's, I'd want them in this order:
1.2.3.1
1.2.3.4
1.2.3.7
1.2.3.9
1.2.3.10
1.2.3.17
1.2.3.21
But it sorts in this order:
1.2.3.1
1.2.3.10
1.2.3.17
1.2.3.21
1.2.3.4
1.2.3.7
1.2.3.9
Is there anything I can do to fix this? I want it to see each number as a whole, for example "10" instead of "1" and "0"
Much thanks.
Query Address Help
Jun 29, 2006I have an address all in the one line at the moment. My front end has been programmed this way. Now I have to split the address into 3 or 5 lines. The address looks like this:
3 Thorn Road Edinburgh Scotland G68 2AA
The post code is in a seperate field so that makes it easier for me.
This is the query i have.
UPDATE Clients SET Clients.Address1 = Left([Address],InStr([Address],",")), Clients.Address2 = mid([Address],InStr([Address],",")), Clients.Address3 = Right([Address],InStr([Address],","));
If it was looking for this address: 34 Thornwood Road, Kilmarnock, Aryshire. It would produce
Address1 = 34 Thornwood Road, = Correct
Address2 = kilmarnock, Ayrshire ,= Should be kilmarnock
Address3 = nock, Ayrshire = Should be Ayrshire
tried all different ways and it meeses up can someone point me in the right direction.
Thanks

May 9, 2005Hi Ive got a form that has customer details at the top i.e name, address etc. and then a products subform. Once I have chosen a customer it then automatically fills in the address fields and i can then add products to the order. I then press a button which produces a form showing the customer name and address and the products they ordered. I want to be able to have it so I can add a tempory address if the customer wants the goods to be shipped somewhere different to there normal address. How do I do this without adding another address into the database?

Address Validation
Dec 14, 2006Hi all,
Just a little advice on how to approach a problem.
I have some simple address validation in an unbound form. When the user types in a suburb, I have a DLOOKUP function that returns the appropriate postcode for that suburb.
My problem is that most suburbs have more than one postcode (standard and PO BOX).
How can I return both values?
My intention is to then allow the user to select the appropriate postcode.
Thanks

Address Block?
Oct 20, 2005I have a form for all my clients, and currently there's a separate field for each part of the address. This does not make it easy to cut and paste an entire address block. I therefore created an unbound text box with the control source as:
=[FMT-NAME] & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & [Pref1] & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & [Pref2] & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & [PrefStrt] & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & [PrefCity] & ", " & [PrefState] & " " & [PrefZip]
This works ok, but if someone doesn't have anything in the fields [Pref1] or [Pref2] it leaves blank lines. Is there a way to code it so that I can have a complete address block? Thank you.
Help With Address Format Please
Oct 2, 2006Hi - I am importing information into my database of customers names and addresses. The country part of the address comes in 2 letter code - eg AU = Australia, IT = Italy etc. What I would like is to change these to the actual country name. Is there a neat way of doing this? I am thinking doing a whole line of if then, but it all looks really messy.

Make E-mail Address From Name
Oct 21, 2005Hello all,
I have a field called "Name", which for example is: "Johnny Briggs".
I want to be able to show the exected e-mail address, which would be: "johnny.briggs".
So, all I need to do, is take out the space, and replace it with a full stop.
Should be easy - but I can't figure it out!
I don't really need to store the address - so doing it in my query is preferable.
Thanks in advance!

Partitioning An Address Column
Mar 21, 2006Problem: Turning an address column containing a comma into two or three address colums containing no comma
I have a database with the structure:
company
address
town
postcode (zip code)
The present address column contains one of the following (I give examples)
-76 Nelson Street
-99 Bush Lane, Waddington
(where Waddington is a village, or quarter of the town named in the town field)
-Nixon House, 150 Clinton Street, Hareswood
-sometimes there might be a redundant comma at the end of the string e.g.
99 Bush Lane, Waddington,
-very occasionally the address field is empty (when the record is still incomplete
----------------------------------------------
We now have to interact with another company and its software, which takes commas as field delimiters. We therefore have to get rid of all commas in our address field.
I have therefore revised our structure so that it now is:
Company
Addr1
Addr2
Addr3
Addr4 (which contains what was formerly 'town')
Postcode (zip code)
Now I must distribute the contents of Addr1 into Addr1, Addr2, Addr3
and eliminate the commas in the process.
Our database has 4000 records. Therefore doing this manually is prohibitively expensive and takes far too much time. We need the revised database virtually overnight.
My knowledge of Access is fairly limited, but it is ***I*** who has to solve the problem.
Request
------------
Is it possible to do this automatically?
How would you proceed, which steps?
If an Action Query has to be used - well, I have never used an Action Query before (but I have a hefty book about it = "Willing to learn - fast").
If there is a simple formula to be entered into the Action query, could someone please give me the formula?
Thanks for your help.

Using Parameters In HyperLink Address
Feb 21, 2007Access 2003
I've inherited an Access Application which is basically a Front End for calling Integration Service Packages - for all intents and purposes it could be stored procedures or anything other executable. A number of forms have hard coded links that point to a particular executable on a network drive.
With regards to this the UAT packages will live in a different directory than the DEV code so is it possible to parameterise the link e.g. could W:CAT DevelopmentAutomation PackagesOTCOptionsImport.dtsx become W:PARAMETERAutomation PackagesOTCOptionsImport.dtsx - if so then how do I create a parameter, capture it and use it in the link above.
The whole project is lacking the use of parameters at an ACCESS level and Integration Services level but due to time constraints there is no scope to major overhaul the system design.
I am a developer with many years of experience but my Access knowledge is limited so any pointers would be helpful.
Banned Email Address
May 8, 2007Can't find anywhere else to post this so...
When I joined this forum last month, I attempted to enter my current email address and I got a message box that my email address had been banned. I tried several times to enter the correct (current) email address and each time was told that email address had been banned.
I attempted to contact 'jon@access-programmers.co.uk' on the 13th and 27th of April with no response.
As it is right now, this forum only recognizes my old email address instead of my real email address as that's the only way I could continue the join process.
Can anyone:
1. tell me why my current email address has been banned
2. help me get my correct information entered?
thanks.
Linking Address Tables
Jan 29, 2007Hi
I wonder if anybody can help with this problem.
I am setting up a basic contact list, with 3 tables - contact, address and company.
What I want to do is be able to add numerous addresses to the company table/form. Then, when I add a contact, I can go to the contact form and select an existing address from a drop down (from the address table), this will then assign this address to the contact, as well as showing this contacts name on company screen.
I have got this working as far as having a drop down of company names on the contacts screen but I can't work out how I can get the address to show on the contact screen when I select a company name from a drop down list?
I have spent ages on this, and its driving me mad, please can somebody hep?
I think i might need to sort out the relationships, but am getting very confused.
Apologies if this is straightfoward - but would really appreciate any suggestions.
Please help!
Thanks
Brad
