I need to create a field in an input form that is simply the concatenation of two other text fields. I have tried all sorts of things, but when I look at the data in the table that field.
I have a field called ID that I want to be created like this:
=Format([UniqueID],"00000") & "-" & [Mosque]
This works well in my output fields, but does not work the same way on the input form. It needs to be based on the currently input values from the current record. Anyone have any ideas?
How do I use a update sql query to update a field based on a string from an input box. Heres what i have been trying:
Code:
Dim NETWORKBOX As String NETWORKBOX = InputBox("NETWORK TO IMPORT" & Chr(10) & "EXAMPLE: PRIMARY", "NETOWRK TYPE") sql = "UPDATE " & TABLENAME & " SET NETWORK = " & NETWORKBOX & " ;" DoCmd.RunSQL sql
If i run the code and input 'PRIMARY' in the NETWORKBOX the sql query will return an 'enter parameter value dialog box' with the word 'PRIMARY' above the input field.
Is it possible to use an input mask on a calculated control? I have a field which will return "Home Phone:" [HomePhone] and I'd like it to actually display the phone number as (000) 000-0000. Is there a way to do this? Thank you!
I need to be able to query the service dates for the bill. So I can query 1509 for the .billYYMM and .readdate and it will give me the TO Date. How do I in the same query tell the query to subtract 1 from the BillYYMM that I just entered and give me the read date for that field in that query? So Query 1 MBRHISTDETL.BILLMOYR and in the criteria box use [Enter the Bill Month Year YYMM you want to search for] will allow me to run the query at any time for any bill month year that I enter. So another field in that query is MBRHISTDETL.READDATE. So to get the FROM date and the TO date i need the following MRBHISTDETL.BILLMOYR (whatever I enter as input) and MBRHISTDETL.READDATE that corresponds and then I need [MRBHISTDETL.BILLMOYR]-1 and MBRHISTDETL.READDATE. The first gives me the TO date and the 2nd gives me the FROM date?
Is there a way to setup the format on fields to only allow text inputs, no numbers wanted. I know I can do this at the table level but is some cases numbers are ok. So I want to code it so I can control when numbers are ok and when there not.
I would like to enter a couple of alphanumeric groups into a field on an input form. After I enter an alphanumeric group, I hit the enter and the data will add into the field and refresh to empty box ready for next entry. If I continue to enter another group and hit enter, the next group will be added to original field with a comma and a space in between. build the VBA in after update event to accomplish the task.
I have two tables: COSTING and PRICING, both with the following fields: product name French packaging transportation ddp
I want to create a query so that from a text box in the pricing form the user could enter a desired "margin" (ie. 10%) and the query would replace everything in the pricing table with the data from the costing table multiplied times the margin entered in the text box.
how can i accomplish this???
so far i can update the pricing table with the costing data with a action (update) query, but im still missing how to integrate the user "margin" input. At the same time i have the problem that the query limits the update only to the products that are ALREADY in the pricing table. So it doesn't copy ALL the products from the Costing table.
I need to input a string into a column named "EventType". The code should first check if the column "Agent Name" contains any strings. If there is none, it will input "IBM Director" into the EventType column.
Once it has looped through the agent names, the code will then loop through the Details column and input into EventTypes based on what is displayed within the string.
These are the codes that I am using to achieve this, however nothing is being input into the EventType column.
Code: Private Sub Command11_Click() Dim dbs As DAO.Database Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set dbs = CurrentDb Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("Final")
[Code] ....
I think the problem lies with the code that checks the agent name. When I removed it, it managed to populate the EventType column based on the details. But I still need to find out how to check the agent name too.
I'm trying to create an update query that prompts the user to enter the "Update to" value. The field I am trying to update is a "Yes/No" check box field. When using the following code it because I don't have quotes around the default value "Yes" it inserts "-1" so it works, however the users of the database don't/won't know that "-1" is a yes value and "0" is a no value, so I'd prefer that they could type in text as "yes" or "no" instead:
Eval("InputBox(""Do you want to Complete Update Check Box?"",""Updates Completed?"",Yes,4000,2000)")
Is there a way to convert the "Yes" entered into the Input Box by the user to a "-1" or "0" value behind the scenes so that it will update the field in my table?
I an trying to create a data entry form (IndividualsEntryFm) to input data for fields such as (First Name),(Birthdate) etc., these to be saved to the (IndividualsTbl)
I also have another table (NamesTbl) which has family names etc. The two tables are linked by a (MainID) field. I want a combo box on the individualsEntryFm so that I can select the family name. Then I wish the empty fields for the IndividualsTbl to be available to enter data.When I press the save button I then want this data saved, together with the MainID from the combo box to the IndividualsTbl.
I have set the IndividualsTbl with a (PersonID) field as an auto number each individual therefore has a unique PersonID but may well share the MainID. I'm trying to link many people to the same address.
From a table I want a text field which has a path to a file to be copied automatically into a another field of the same table with a hyperlink text type...
I have my database done, for the most part. But I want to add a lookup to a field in my Component table so that I can associate a particular number (paragraph number in a pub) to a failure mode description. In the Failure Mode table, I have associated a paragraph with a failure mode:
Yes, some paragraphs have more than one failure mode. The primary key for this table is an autonumber which allows me to do this with minimal headache.
When I created a lookup within the appropriate field in the Component table, it erases my format/input mask and makes it look like this:
6662 Visual 6668 Continuity
I wasn’t able to put an input mask in the General tab of the FailureMode field in the Component table – I guess because it has the paragraph AND the failure mode in the lookup and 9-99.99;;_ just won’t cover the text for the failure mode description. The input mask is present in the Failure Mode table but isn't "crossing over" to the lookup!
I REALLY need those “masks” in the paragraph callout to help me distinguish and match the failure mode! Can someone please explain how to do this?
Sorry guys, I thought this would be simpler than it was!
Basically I just want to update my "Resolution date" field with the date or time now (which I know how to do) but AFTER I input data in my "Resolution" field ie I want a field to automatically record what time I am entering the text in my "Resolution" field?
How do I do this, and can I do it without writing a macro? I thought it was along the lines of After Update, but now I am confused!
I have a button that will do two different functions 1 to open a form and 2 input data into the classType field. In order to do this would I need to use a Macro with setValue? How do I do this?? When the button is clicked input “CPP” in to the classType field of the EqTable.
I have a main order form with a subform for order datails (products, quantity, extended price, etc..). The default way of calculating a selling price is by using the cost plus a profit margin (the margin is a percentage defined on the main form)
But sometimes we want to define the selling price differently, bu using the List price instead, on which I can apply a discount. So what I did is put a checkbox field on my subform, and when the checkbox is "true" the selling price is now the list price field from the products table instead of the "cost plus" calculated field.
So far everything works perfectly as described. The only that I am now left to do is to be able to "ask" for the desired discount when the checkbox is selected. What I mean is that when the checkbox is clicked (true), I would like for a dialog box to pop-up and ask for the discount that should be applied to that record in the subform...Is there a way to do that with a "msgbox" or should I make a small form with only one field on it?...
The main reason why I want to do it this way is that I dont want to put the "discount" field on my subform as it would be on every item line and it is used only rarely because 90% of the pricing are bases on "cost plus".
I am trying to add an input mask to my video Field, so that it is always enter correctly. V-1-2015, what I have so >"V-"099-0000, but it is showing spaces if nothing is inputted for the 99 fields, if I add in !>"V-"099-0000 it then removes those spaces since those are optional characters, but then the V is no longer capitalized. How can I correctly have an input mask that keeps the V always capitalized and have mandatory fields and optional fields without spaces. I want it to come out as V-1-2015, or V-11-2015 or V-111-2015.
My form contains the field Bill_Date, which may or may not be input during data entry. What I need is to run a query (I think) that allows me to input a specific date that will automatically populate all Bill_Date fields that are currently null with the date specified. Eventually this will end up on the front end where a biller will click on a link when they open the db, input the date into the field, and then process another report.
I have absolutely no idea how to even begin and was not able to locate any specific information in Help or here on the forum.
I would like to know is there a way to create a mask on a form for a currency field? I don't want a user to be able to enter in like 125.145. I just want to make it so that people can only type in 125.14. Or how can I write VB code to give a warning when a user enter in more than two decimal places.
