Hi
I have a table that when imported from an external program (sage) has a number based property.
To achieve linkage with other tables, I have to manually change the field fom a number to text.
Is this possible to achieve programmatically.
Much appreciated on any advise.

I am using Access 2010. How to change the property of a field in a table programmatically.
I have a table in which one field has Required property set to "Yes". I would like to set this property by using VBA code to "No", then add data into a table using a query and re-set the Required property to "Yes".
Is this possible and if so, how can I do it?
VBA syntax for changing various "Field Properties" on an EXISTING table. Specifically, the field properties I'm trying to change are:
Field Size (I want to make this 'Double')
Format (I want this to be 'Standard') and
Decimal (I want this to be '2')
The Data Type is already set as 'Number'.
I am making a new Record in the design view of a table (creating a new field in the table), and I am assigning it a date type, is there a hotkey that will select the field properties sheet so that I can select the format of the field without having to move my mouse?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi, I would like to change the properties of either the column heads in a combo-box or the column names for tables. I don't think there's any way to adjust the column head properties, and I'm doubtful there's a way to change the column caption properties.
Some of my column titles are long, and I'd like to be able to word wrap them essentially. Anyone know if this is possible? Thanks.
is there is an easy way to create a table with defined field properties.
I have an excel file with over 300 column names and there field length.
I can import the name by transposing the list and then importing however the field length will have to manually edited which i don't fancy doing,
any ideas???
Field NameLength
BATCH NBR5
BATCH DATE8
BATCH CODE3
SUB PRODUCT3
FILE TYPE1
Is there a way to gain access to the Field Properties using VBA?
I'm trying to loop thru the Tables in a database and find out the Fields that are indexed in each table.
I can loop through the table Defs to get each table name and a list of Fields but I can't seems to get to the Field Properties, namely "INDEXED".
I try to put an expression for the property "bound column" so that my lookup values will be directly dependent on one of attribute's choice
I have got four options for my attribute. Each option will use a slightly different set of lookup values. I save all four sets in another table.
Then in my properties definition I refer directly to this table as lookup base. When I put bound column number equal to an expression so as to choose the right column of lookup values it refuses. It seems that it does notl ike anything other than a numeric value.
If that's a no-go, I am not sure how to achieve what I try to do then?
Essentially I have a table that 4 attributes: QID,itemID,CatType,Catchoice
CatType can have only 4 values. Each value will make Catchoice take on a different set of combo values
The problem I am having is that I am stuck at the Catchoice lookup definition because it is dependent on what kind of CatType the user picks.
ciao people

I created some forms in datasheet view. Now I want to change the datasheet properties (background color, text color...): the problem is that the forms I create with the new properties are displayed as I want, but the old forms are displayed with the old properties.
Does it exist a command to open the old forms/subforms with the new properties or do I have to re-create all the old forms?
I have a standard form but i would like it so that when a user clicks on the button from the main menu to open the form it changes the default view which i have set to data entry and change it to not data entry. Also another button to change its record source to a different query. Rather than make lots of different forms that have the same thing but for just different purposes.
I hope that makes sense?
Thanks
In this query I have setup I need to get my Dates field into short date format and another field needs to be with 0 decimal points. I take it there is code I have to enter but I cannot find it anywhere.

If it is possible to change the format properties of a menu/toolbar could someone please point me in the direction of some guidance/ let me know how to go about it I would appreciate it.
Specifically I'm trying to change the menu bar's /database window's property to match my forms (and company branding).
I've Googled various phrases in both UK and US spellings (to be on the safe side) and searched a few forums (this one included) and cannot find much beyond creating customised menu/tool bars.
Many thanks
Hi
I need help to create a table programmatically in access. I have 2 tables. For e.g.
Table A
Field1 Field2
abcde 12345
bbbbb 54321
and Table B
Field1 Field2
abcde 99887
bbbbb 76543
As you can see Field1 of both tables are the same. I just need to create a Table Table C such that
Table C
Field1 Field2 Field3
abcde 12345 99887
bbbbb 54321 76543
Can this be done using a macro? Thanks so much in advance
i have 2tables,table1=productid,ProductName,Qty table2=Productid,productName,Qty,date(). I want to be able to backup Records programatically daily from table1 into table2 OnClose.But i do not want duplication of record in the same day. If changes occurs in table1 after backup,table2 should be updated Programatically.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am after a script to change the linked table paths like the following.
It will only ever be the path that is changing not the file name and only ever linked tables
Code:
for each table in tabledefs
if table.path = c:Testing* then table.path = w:Testingfilename
if table.path = c:Jobs* then table.path = w:Jobsfilename
if table.path = c:Quotes* then table.path = w:QuotesNewfilename
next table
In a nutshell...I want to have a form open with the "form" properties set to "NO" on "AllowEdits","Allowdelete" and "AllowAdditions" and then those same properties set to "Yes" depending on who you are when you open the form.
I think I got a handle on the "who you are" part, I am just not sure about the form properties stuff.
Thank you
Hello, how can I change the "default" textbox properites.
When ever I place a new textbox on the form it has certain properties which I must always change.
For example I want all my textboxes to be flat not sunken and to have a solid border style. Currently the default is sunken and transparent border so I must always change it.
I know how to do it via VBA... just want to do it immediately using default.
I am assuming it's somewhere in Windows Registry?
Thanks
Is there any way to change a field name in a table and have it propagate thru queries, forms, reports etc. Right now it messes everything up when I try it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to change the name of a field in a table. When I hit save, it gives me the error:"Could not find field 'originalFieldName'"..I hit OK and it says: "Errors were encountered during the save operation. Properties were not updated."
There are no queries, forms, reports, or relationships shown on the relationships tab. The other fields in the table have drop-down menus of values stored in other tables, but not this field. It just has values I entered in it manually.Why can't I change the name of the field? I have Access 2007.
I created and new field and made the source "Unbound" so that it is not connected to the field I copied it from. How do I now make that the information I enter in the new field does not duplicate in all of the similar fields in other entries.
Specifically, my database is a database of employees and the field Title is "Active". If I enter "Yes" by one employee entry, all employee entries will then state "Yes" by the Active field.
How can I change the properties so that by some employees I can write "Yes" and by others I can enter "No".
I am not so familiar with Access so if you can be specific I would greatly appreciate it.
Users are viewing a record on a form that gets it's data from a query. I want to make it so that if they edit that record from that form, a last updated field will timestamp the date/time that the record was edited. I added a lastupdated to the source table which of course adds it to the query and so it's on the form.
But whenever i access the form and change something, the lastupdated only shows the time the record was created (which is from a different form based directly on the table). Whenever I edit any other field data in that query based form it changes in the table. Why not the Lastupdated?
Hi All,
I have only been playing with MS Access for a little while and I do not know all there is to know yet so I figured I come here to ask a question.
I use MS Access in web design and lately I have been experiencing a problem with my registration form which inserts new users into an MS Access database table.
Lately my registration form has become a target for spammers trying to inject spam in the form of html code into the password field of the online registration form.
I figured that I could deter this from happening by only allowing the letters A - Z and numbers 0 - 9 in the field and not allowing characters like < > and ? and ".
I assume I can do this with a validation rule but I'm unsure as to how I would go about setting this up. Limiting the field size to only 50 characters does not seem to work unfortunately.
Any help on how to set up a validation rule would be appreciated.
Thanks

In a simple data retrieve/update form, how I can set a text field’s properties Enabled to No based on that particular record value?
For instance, there are 4 fields, employeeid, employeename, employeetitle, employeephone
I would like to set the employeephone text field’s properties Enabled = No, if the employeetitle is Manager
Can anyone help?
Is it possible to retrieve the format of a field when looping through recordset.
e.g you can get the field type by using
Quote:
rs.Fields(y).Type
But the type for decimal or percentage is the same. It is the format that is different
I need to be able to see what is formatted as a percentage and what is formatted as fixed.
