Auto-Capitalize Text In Field
Jan 30, 2006
I've noticed that Access has a few default "fixes" for text in a field. For instance, if I type "aBBB" then tab to the next field (whether in a table, a form or anywhere else), Access will autocorrect that to "Abbb". This is really helpful if I leave caps lock on and am trying to type names, such as "aLEX" being changed to "Alex".
Is there a way to make it auto capitalize everything in the field? I don't want to turn such a thing on for every field, just for some select fields. Perhaps some sort of self-correcting mask, whatever you would call something like that, that I could apply to various fields.

Hi,
I need the text in the field to allow both lower and upper case but when the user enters "i" (only 1) it changes to "I" , "ii" works just fine.
How can I stop this??
I guess I could write an event code like:
Dim LowerCase, UpperCase
UpperCase = Me![FieldName]
LowerCase = LCase(UpperCase)
If Me.[FieldName].Value = "i" Then
Me![FieldName].Value = LowerCase
Else...
Any other ideas????
Thanks
Paul

I have a text field that I would like to have some information automatically populated when the form is open. I know the basics but the trouble I am having is having the date and time populated before the default text.
Here is what I tried but no luck on it
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim strQuery As String
'Dim js As Integer
Dim currDateTime As Date
currDateTime = Now()
Me.Description = " & currDateTime & " & " " & "J.Adams 41066 CLT SMB - AM : " & " " & ""
End Sub

I know that the following Validation Rule would require all Entered Last Names to be in Uppercase letters (i.e. REAGAN) StrComp(UCase([LastName]),[LastName],0) = 0 But how would Validation Rule look to only capitalize the first letter only?

I have
Table called "Products"
Field 1= "Product ID" which is a text field (PK) but numbers are used (ie 1 -20)
Field 2= Products -showing our list of 20 products
When I enter a new product, currently I have to look in the table to find the last ID used then use the next one available. I have created a form to be used for data entry to enter new products
What I am trying to do is :- 1, have the form open at data entry level but still able to scroll and see all records and 2, Have the form auto generate the next number available. For example, I have 20 products entered so when the form opens to enter a new product, the ID is automatically at number 21. I know absol nothing about coding. I have looked at other suggestions on the forum incl the DMAX +1 and having tried and not worked, I wondered if its because the field is a text field or I am trying to insert the code in the wrong place.

I have 2 tables Master table (Jobs) containing the primary key ("Job Reference") and 2nd table (Candidates) with the foreign key ("Job Reference")
2 Forms
frmJobs Form to view job details
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

Hello,
I have searched the forum for the answer but cannot seem to find exactly what I am looking for.
I have a table with the PK auto assigned. Currently have about 150 records in it.
I would like to add a prefix to the Auto Assigned ID for all current and future records for an example if the record is 1 I want it to say GEN-1, GEN-2 etc..
I found this code however I cannot seem to integrate it into what I am trying to do.
Add a field that holds the date a record was added to the table. When you want to display a formatted autonumber field, use an expression.
Format(DateCreated,"yy") & "-" & Format(YourAutonumber,"000000")
This will produce something like -
03-000145
Thanks!

Hey Gang,
I haven't looked in the forum yet, this is just an idea that popped into the air.
Is there a way to auto insert a text of my choice into a field on a form.
Example:
I am constantly typing "No Supervisor Signature on Weldment" along with a few other phrases. It is not as simple as copy and past, if it was that easy I would not be asking the group. I am in and out of access 200 times a day. and I wanted to know if I can assign a "HotKey" to auto insert these phrases that I use.
Thanks in advance. :D

I'm creating a DB for tracking time. I have a form with a subform. The main form is the employee data, the subform is their time sheet. What I would like to do is when I enter the date on the subform the pay period number will auto populate in a text field. I have created a table with three columns - PK auto number, Date, and Pay Period Number. I created a relationship between that table and the time sheet table using the date. I don't know if that's right or not. I have read about auto populating from a combo box but that's not what I want.

I've just returned to work after kids and started managing a large Access database related to health, back-tracking over many years.
Currently in filling a form we physically enter:
Apples 2.2
red apple 2.4
red apple cut 2.45
Oranges 5.6
Cucumbers 8.5
Is it possible to get field 2 to automatically fill with a number code due to the text typed in field 1?
FWIW, I'm confident at more basic Access e.g making follow on default value = Dlast("field""table") type stuff but the more complex stuff I haven't touched since Uni over a decade ago and you will need to be gentle while I blow away the cobwebs

Within my table if Field 1 has an answer of Self (from drop down), then, I would like Fields 6-12 to auto populate; however, if Field 1 does not have an answer of Self, then leave Fields 6-12 blank.
I am not quite sure how to lay this out. I am using Access 2010.

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 have several fields with text boxes and input masks. When a user clicks in these fields, it puts them in whatever position in the text box they click in. If they click to the far right, it takes them to the right position and doesn't let them type the entire date, formula, etc.
Any way to set the text box so that no matter where they click it automatically starts in the first position?

i have selected a drop down box with 3 coloums looked up from another table i would like 1 of the columns to stay in the combo box after selection and the other two to appear in the text boxes on the same page.
Any help would be much appreciated.
thanks

When I first was making my database I used all auto numbers for PK's. But then I read an article or two saying that you really don't need to do that if you don't have to (actually, the article said "don't use autonumber if you want anyone to understand your database). I have a few tables (most employee experience type tables) where I just use the word as the PK and there is no auto number in the table at all.I continue to build my database?

I have five textboxes for husband with the values typed(HustxtAddress1, HustxtAddress2, HustxtCity, HustxtState, HustxtZip). I have five more textboxes for wife. I have a combo box asking whether the spouse's address is same as the husband - with yes or no. If "Yes" is selected, the text boxes for wife is auto filled with the same values of the husband. I tried with combo box change event setting HustxtAddress1= WifeText address1, it fills only the first field and other fields are empty.

I want to be able to able to change the data on each form and save separately.I have Table with Tech Initials(PK), Full Name(689), CellNum(691), TestGaugeSN(630) and Cal Exp Date(632). Want to use Tech Initials to populate the rest.
Here's what I'm using:

Me.Text689 = Me.Combo687.Column(1)
Me.Text691 = Me.Combo687.Column(2)
Me.Text630 = Me.Combo687.Column(3)
Me.Text635 = Me.Combo687.Column(4)

I have 5 combo boxes that all cascade into the next, and then when the last combo box is updated from the drop down list, it auto-populates a text box. My issue is that I have a second text box that needs to be auto-populated from the same data table based on what has been entered into the 5 combo boxes and the first text box. I've tried creating parameters and setting a lookuprecord macro in my main table and then using a returnvars RunDataMacro on the actual form, but it says, "Invalid list or query reference 'BillingDataQuery'." I'm not sure if it's because I'm not setting that RunDataMacro on the wrong combo box, or if I've written it incorrectly...
I did this same technique (based on directions in a post from this forum) on another combo box that populates five text boxes and it works just fine, but I don't know how to get this to work based on what's populated in 5 combo boxes to auto-populate the last text box.

is there a way to have a form set to either auto populate fields based on the FIRST FIELD? For example: if the user type in the STUDY ID, the other fields like (first name, last name etc..) are auto-populated/auto-filled? and if the STUDY ID is new and not in the table, then the users simply fill in all the fields/complete the form and save? And I would also like a message box to show when I am typing the STUDY ID that would say something like: this person is on the system already. Click YES for this person and NO to add the user?...
