Blank Fields
Jan 19, 2006Hi - I have what maybe a relatively easy problem to solve.
I have a list of locations each with a unique id. I also have another table with location details in it. There is a relationship setup between the two tables. However in the first table I have some locations that do not have a match in the second table. Therefore that field is left blank. When create a query to show information from the two tables, any records that have a blank location match field do not get shown in the output. Is there anyway to display records with blank fields?
Thanks

Tables With Blank Fields
Oct 26, 2004I am a firefighter who has been tasked with creating a database to track repairs and inventory on breathing apparatus(SCBA). There are several(5) related pieces of equipment that I think should go on the same table. Three of these will have nearly identical fields. The other two will have additional field specific to them. Should I create one table including all five pieces and just leave the extras fields blank or is there a better way.
Thanks.

Blank Fields In Query.
Oct 28, 2005Hello, I have a table (Projects) with original projects and amended projects. All information regarding each project is inputted in the fields for original projects. Only limited fields are inputted in amended projects;new loan amounts or a new closing date may arise infrequently for amended projects. When there is a new closing date for an amended project, and it becomes part of a query all other fields are blank for that record, How do I populate the original project data into the blank fields of an amended project. I frequently have to create queries based on the fiscal year of closingdate field and I need to know the commitmentdate (field) and other dates that are in the original projects records. I hope this is not confusing thanks in advance. :confused:

Nov 4, 2006Hi Friends,
Sounds Impossible But i believe there must be a genius out there to solve this
I was wondering if there is a way to stop displaying fields on a form which contain spaces or blank values. I m using a query that takes data from a table named School
I have a table which have 5 fields. lets say: Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4, Field5
My fields from 1 to 3 have data but field4 and field5 do not have a value in it. What i wish to achieve is to show only those fields which have a value in it. Blank or field with spaces must not be displayed. Is It Possible.
Regards,
Darno
Blank Fields Need To Filled In
Apr 25, 2005I have pop up form for report selection. In my drop down i have certain reports that need to have start and end date.
I'm using this formula to show or hide start date field and end date field.
If Not [Report_Selection] = "VehiclesNotRecovered" Then
StartDate.Visible = True
EndDate.Visible = True
Else
StartDate.Visible = False
EndDate.Visible = False
End If
I would like to give the user a pop message to warn him/her fill in the start and end date field when selecting reports other than VehiclesNotRecovered.
If startdate and enddate fields not filled in and they run a report - they will get an #error message.
Thanks,
Michael
Blank Fields In Forms
Oct 26, 2005I am setting up a form with a few tables in it.
I want each table to relate to the form.
When the Next button at the bottom of the page is clicked I want all the values of each table recorded even if there were no values put in the boxes.
For example if there is no value added to the field boxes in say half the tables I want the default value to be recorded as blank or zero so that each table has the same Autonumber associated with the other tables in the form.
What is the best way to do this?

Ignoring Blank Fields
Jan 15, 2006:confused: I have a Text box on a Form that copies data entered into other Text boxes on the same form.
Sometimes there may be the odd text box that does not have any data in it.
Is there anyway that I can put in code so that the blank text boxes are not copied into the main text box i.e. Only the populated text boxes are to be copied.
Thankyou for any assistance that you can provide.:eek:

Import With Unwanted Blank Fields
Sep 15, 2005Hi,
Im trying to import a spreadsheet from Excel. I use the wizard and I get the sheet imported. The only problem is that I get additional blank fields in my table in Access. How can I make sure that this does not happen? I want to keep on importing into the same table, so these useless empty fields keep on accumulating.
Any help?
Thanx,

Auto Creating Blank Fields
Jan 6, 2006I need to create a bunch of new records that will contain some existing data and some blank fields.... what I want it to look like:
ACCOUNT | NUMBER | PERIOD | AMOUNT
4G334223 123-224-2212 1/1/2006
4G334223 123-233-2334 1/1/2006
What I want is the query to pull the account and number from the db, then add the date in automatically (not the current date, just a specified criteria to signify jan 06, feb 06,etc) and leave the amount field blank (which I will then add in the corresponding values manually).

Filling In Blank Fields With The Digit 0
Sep 13, 2004I have a table that tracks call-in's and tardies. Sometimes, a person will have a tardy and not a call-in and vice versa.
I need to perform a calc on both the call in and the tardy fields. Is there a way to tell the database that if [Tardies] is blank (nulll), that I want it to put a zero in the field? I know this must be done by a query, but can't figure it out.
I've also tried splitting these two tables into a call-in's and a tardies table, but can't get a query that will show all tardies AND all call-in's. It will only show either all call-in's with associated tardies or vice versa, so if a person has no tardies, but does have call-in's it won't show them. What can I do? Thanks!

Not Displaying Blank Fields In A Form
Oct 7, 2004Hey Guys,
This one could be a tough one.
I have a form that displays products information.
The products table has about 30 fields but not every field is used in every record.
Depending on the product I would like those fields that are blank not to appear on the form and then for the form to be reorganized so there are no odd spaces.
Is this possible?
Thanks!
Records With Null/blank Fields Only!??
Jun 8, 2005I'm working on a db logging replies to a questionnaire. Judging by the responses I am receiving it appears that some sections are not completed at all. I need to be able to include these blank responses when it comes to analysis.
My design splits the questionnaire into sections, each section has a data entry form with its own underlying table. Each table has a primary key (autonumber field) which relates to each organisation that has replied.
If an organisation has failed to complete a section, I still need to create a new record in that section(table), triggering the autonumber field, hence referring back to the organisation.
I know I haven't explained this very well, but if anyone can make sense of what I'm saying and can give me any suggestions on how to make this happen, I would be most grateful.
In anticipation of your replies

Modules & VBA :: How To Filter Out Blank Fields
Aug 17, 2013I am making a database which has its output in PowerPoint. I have set it up so that each field value is shown on a different slide with the code for each slide like this:
Code:
With .Slides.Add(rs.AbsolutePosition + 1, ppLayoutLargeObject)
.FollowMasterBackground = False
.Background.Fill.Solid
.Background.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0, 0, 0)
[code]....
This works fine until a filed is blank (which they sometimes are) where it then crashes with error 94 invalid use of null. What I was thinking was putting the whole thing above in an If-then-else statement so that a blank field does not produce a slide, something like:
Code:
If IsNull(CStr(rs.Fields("Song 1 chosen_Verse 2").Value)) Then
Else
With .Slides.Add(rs.AbsolutePosition + 1, ppLayoutLargeObject)
.FollowMasterBackground = False
.Background.Fill.Solid
.Background.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0, 0, 0)
[Code] .....
This doesn't work though - at least not like I have written it!

Stop Code Running If Fields Blank
Nov 29, 2006Ok - really need some help here. I have searched and searched but i think my problem is slightly different to the ones i am finding.
Basically i have a form and i want to force users to fill in one out of 4 tick boxes. If none of them are ticked when they press the close button i want the form to stay open and a message box come up.
I can get the message box part to work but the form still closes down.
The reason for this is that when the form closes it goes to another form that is linked to it by a unique ID number. This works by the following code.
Private Sub BTN_INVIS_Click()
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "frm closure"
stLinkCriteria = "[issue ID]=" & Me![Issue ID]
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
Exit_BTN_INVIS_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_BTN_INVIS_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_BTN_INVIS_Click
End Sub
What i have tried to do is insert a piece of code into the above to generate the message box so it now looks as follows:
Private Sub BTN_INVIS_Click()
If [Transport_Delivery_issue_] = False And [Process_issue_] = False And [Design_issue_] = False And [Supplier_issue_] = False Then
MsgBox "You must complete the liability box before you can close this issue"
Cancel = True
[Design_issue_].SetFocus
End If
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "frm closure"
stLinkCriteria = "[issue ID]=" & Me![Issue ID]
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
Exit_BTN_INVIS_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_BTN_INVIS_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_BTN_INVIS_Click
End Sub
This code checks the boxes and generates the message box if none are ticked - that works great. However it doesnt stop the second part of the code (the move to the next form) from executing if the boxes arent ticked.
Would really appreciate it if someone could help me - i'm fairly new to coding so the whole database is a bit cobbled together (mostly with help from this forum!).
