If I have a set of address fields looked up by a customer ID number, how can I get acess to copy them into a shipping address field, which can allow the address to be altered if delivery is needed to an address which differs from the billing address?
The example I have seen is in the Northwind sample database on access but I cannot see how to replciate this in my database. I have the shipaddress shipcity etc in the orders relation and the customer as usual in the customer relation.
-How can I address the fields on my forms? I just want to create a button that increases a value by one on click.I tried
FORMNAME.FIELDNAME = FORMNAME.FIELDNAME + 1 FIELDNAME = FIELDNAME + 1 FORMNAME!FIELDNAME = FORNAME!FIELDNAME + 1 but the button does nothing. And that is all I found by googling.
-How to focus a field at the beginning? I want to be able to start writing always in the same field.
FIELDNAME.SetFocus
does not work. I dont know if I made any mistake during creating tables and forms, but these codes should actually work, shouldnt they?
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.
I have an address field currently formatted 1 Streetname, city, post/zip code it is displayed on a form within a multi-line textbox. I'd like to change the commas to a line return so it will display
1 streetname city postcode
I was thinking that a small macro might go through each record and change the comma to a line return? But not sure where to start exactly?
I am nearing the endgame of a FE/BE app. The FE will sit on various PC's across a LAN. IS there a way that when a user opens a record (via a form) on his FE (on his PC), the IP addy of that PC will be automatically entered into a hidden field on the form and store it in a purpose specific field on the BE table.
So I guess my question is how do I get the IP into a field on a table? Either "default" in the table, or via a field on a form? And what would the syntax for such an auto-populate be?
I am a struggling low level user and any help will be appreciated. I’m trying to get data out of an old database and into a new one. The following addresses will give you some idea as to what my problem is. :confused:
I would like to break up the following single field address (Note the different pieces of data. Washington Blvd 1407 Jefferson ST 234 N Benjamin Ave 2105 N #1 Lincoln Cir 1407 N Unit 201 (Notice the space after Unit)
and have it look like this Field one: 1421 Field two: N,S,E or W Field three: BENJAMIN ST, Ave, or etc Field four: Anything left over
If you can help, please talk very slow and loud cus I'm old and not too bright. I have limited experience with Instr, Mid, Left and Right functions, but can never seem to get them to work in a SQL statement I think I need to use multiple append queries but I’m guessing and then how do I get all the pieces into one table. :o
I created a report to print out a letter that will be sent to all of our clients. In the address section of the letter there are two field for adresses...Address1 and Address2. One is for a street address and the other for a PO Box. Not all of the clients have a PO Box and for these, I do not want the blank line to show in the address. For example:
John Doe 3 Main Street
Franklin, MA 02038
The field and section of the report are set to "can shrink" and "can grow", but it still gives me a blank line in the address for the clients that do not have a PO Box. What else do I have to do?
I 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?
I have vba code set up to automate a query output to email with outlook. I am having issues with the "TO" field. I have tried different types of code, such as the following:
Both of these work, but the issue I am having is the "TO" field in the outlook message looks like this: admin@blahblah#mailto:admin@blahblah#
Why my code is adding the email address twice, I need to get rid of the #mailto:admin@blahblah# but I do not know how or why it keeps adding that end part.
I 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.
I have a table that has about 5000 street addresses (ex. 1234 your st.). I want to get the all the characters until the first space. So for (1234 Your St.) I want to get 1234 for W1234 St I want W1234. Is this possible?
Hi 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?
I have two addressess, primary and secondary. I would like to make an option button on the form that indicates (when selected) which address to use for mailings? Although, 9 times of 10, mailings are sent to the primary address, but there are those exceptions...
Can someone direct me to an example code to perform this?

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.
I 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:
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.
Hi - 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. Thanks Fiona
