Dear All:
I have a form with last names, first names and middle names. This is inputted manually.
Is there a way when they are inputted that the letters are all in uppercase without using the caps lock key on the keyboard?
Many thanks in advance.

Dion
I have an Application that I want to re-use for a second user. The only change I need to make is to re-name the fields.
Is there a tool that can do this across the tables, queries and reports for each field name change ???
I am hoping to create a field name in a query that will change every month. Right now the filed name is qryTechQuintileMonth-7.am_quintile. this designates that the data is for October 2012. There are 6 other fields named similarly for Nov 2012 through April 2013.
Is there a way to name these fields with the proper month-year (mmm-yy) so they automatically update each month?
I have a form with several data fields on it. I also have a button on the form that allows the user to duplicate a record . The reason for this duplication is so that if there will be an additional client record for the same customer, but only one piece of data will need to be changed, it's easier to copy the record and then change the one field.
However, I am getting the following message:
"some of the field names you tried to paste don't match fieldnames on the form"
and then not all data in all fields gets duplicated.
I need to figure this out, but am going nuts with it. If anyone has an idea or two they'd care to toss my way, I would be happy.
Thanks one more time, in advance!!

If 2 tables have a field named 'EmployeeID' (for example), are you screwed when it comes to queries and vba, as far as selecting fields / specifying data goes?
Thank you!
Once a control has been named and referenced a couple of times it becomes a fraught task to rename said control.
Is there an easy way that controls and their references can be globally renamed, so that the DB continues to work?
I need an opinion. I'm new to access so I'm really lost I have to create a database consisting of 20 clients. Then they gave me 4 steps I had to accomplish:
Create a total of all account balances, so the total number of recievables are known.
For each account, calculate the number of days each balance has been outstanding.
Classify the account into 4 groups three late (30,60,90 days overdue) and one current (under 30 days), Total the amount of outstanding recievables for each catagory.
Sort using number of days balance is outstanding as primary sort key and outstanding balance as the second sort key.
My question is should I make a field called Days overdue and a separate one for outstanding balance. It also seems they want me to do calculations in the table. I thought that was not an excepted taboo? Are the 4 goals possible to accomplish in access? Please give me some help!
I am creating a query that retrieves data from one table and creates a second table. I want to name the columns in the new table using the contents of the controls from a form within the same mdb. The form will be open when this query is run, but I am having trouble creating and saving the query.
Here is a sample of what I am trying to do...Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks

Hello all, I wonder if anyone can help me.
I have two queries which are both similar. They consist of a list of names with a ‘count’ function to see how many times that the name occurs. Some of the names in the two lists are identical and some are different.
I am looking to create a query (or smoothing) that takes the two sets of numbers, matches them by the name (NameID). If the name does not exist in one of the lists then put a 0 (see example below). Once I have this I then want to create a stacked bar graph to show the results.
Example:
Smith, Iain23 7
Bowman, Dan12 2
Rixon, Simon06
Cooper, Lee10
Jones, Andy21
I am very new to MS Access so please make any explanation descriptive.
Any help with is will be very grateful.

My database has FirstName and LastName fields.
I would like to initialize a new field called UserID with the first letter of the first name concatenated to the last name. I have found references that point to using Left([FirstName],1)&[LastName] but am unsure if this can be done in the table definition or if it must be done using a query. Either way I could use some advise on initializing this fields since I have 3500 registered users.
Thanks
Does anyone know of an expression I could use in a query to parse a full name field into last name, first name and middle initial?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,
I apologise in advance for my lack of understanding but I need to know whether an access 95 database will accept file name's that are 21 characters long and contain underscore's?
I have never had to get involved ith access database's so far but have been told find this out.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

I have a query in which I have the name of teams and the names of staff in those teams. I am trying to have a count in my query that counts the number of staff in each team but I cannot get this to work properly. In the same query I have other calculations which sum figures.
Thanks
I have a firstName text field on a form and a Surname Text field. on the Event AfterUpdate i have this code:
If (Not IsNull(DLookup("[FirstName]", _
"Employee", "[FirstName] ='" _
& Me!FirstName & "'"))) And (Not IsNull(DLookup("[Surname]", _
"Employee", "[Surname] ='" _
& Me!Surname & "'"))) Then
MsgBox "Someone already exists with the same name! Please check for duplicates", vbCritical, "IPDMS"
Me.Undo
End If
I am trying to Check the table "Employee" to prevent duplicate personnel from being entered.
My code at the moment is preventing any duplicate surname, its not combining it with the FirstName.
i.e. any person with the surname "Summers" cannot be entered twice even if they have different FirstName.
Thank you in advance.
About 4500 records in a database have two names in a forename field, I need to split these so only the first name stays there and anything else in that field is moved to 'othername'.
Using Access, and update queries, I just can't work out what to do. Using Query Analyser I can see a logic but can't get the syntax right.
What I need is omething like
Code:SELECT * from individuals WHERE forename is like * *Dim pa, pbpa = the bit before the " "pb is the bit following the first " " and including any subsequent onesforename = paothernames = pb
Some forenames have simple problems (eg 'John Peter') others are less simple (eg 'Mr J P and Mrs S P')
Any suggestions?

I have an Access front end linking to an SQL Server back end. My question is: Using VBA, how can I find the Group Names for groups I've got set up in SQL Server?
Thanks in advance to all who reply.
This should be easy but I can't see how to do it efficiently. I have a small application that books people in for a competition and creates a record for each. At most I get about 500 people registered in a day, I need to be able to highlight when anyone from a specific list of names (no more than about 15 people) comes forward and tries to register. I guess this is some form of CASE statement where I compare surnames against a text array or is there an easier way?
ps I don't mind if it's hard coded into the VB code rather than as a look up table.
Thanks
pps you can do this with conditional formatting but the limit there is three.
I need to capture the field names from a linked table and copy them into an excel spreadsheet. Does anyone have an idea how I can accomplish this?
Thanks.
Hi,
I have succeeded (with some help from this site!) in creating a clinical database for the Diabetes Care team in our hospital. Now, our IT helpdesk staff want me to list the field names and data types. The design view of the tables seems to contain everything they need, but I have tried everything and cannot find a way to paste this info. out into any other format, Word, Excel etc. Has anyone ever managed this or is there something else I should do?
I have an Access database that I need to import in to a SIR database that only takes fields names of a maximum of 8 characters long.
I want to create a new database with the same field names, only abreviated, and then import the data from my original database into the Access database with the new names.
Is this possible and could someone give me explicit info on how to do it?
Thanks in advance for any help.
I have been looking at the way I name fields and thought I'd Google the topic. Seems to be a split as to prefix names or not. Looks like the SQL Sever and Oracle groups say not to while Access users are kind of directed to use them...
While I have not prefixed names in the past, I was going to do my next db with the things like:
intMyFldName
strMyFldName
etc...
Where as in the past I would do something like:
my_fld_name_one
my_fld_name_two
etc...
What do you all see as some of the pro's and con's?
After you've created relationships between tables, does anyone know how to find the names of the relationships?
Thanks so much in advance!!
