Tables :: Can't Change Field Name In Table
Sep 18, 2014I 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.

Tables :: Change Table Field Property Programmatically
Apr 23, 2014I am using Access 2010. How to change the property of a field in a table programmatically.

Is this possible and if so, how can I do it?
Queries :: Field In Table Doesn't Change When Edited From Query
Mar 29, 2013Users 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?
How To Change Item Source For Multi-valued Field From A Linked Table To A List
Feb 16, 2013I am using MS Access 2007.
I have created a multi-valued field "Product Category" that lookups data items from a linked table. So, the Data Type for the multi-valued field "Product Category" is Number.
Now I want to change the Data Type of "Product Category" from Number to Text, and make a value list that I can type values in and can provide the same data items as the linked table.
How to change item source for the multi-valued field from a linked table to a list that I can type in values? Is there a feature provided by MS Access 2007 can enable such a conversion?

Reports :: Having Field In Report Change Based On Another Field
Sep 5, 2013I have a report that is looking up min and max quality specifications for a product. The table with the specifications has a Yes/No check box field for when the specs are defined as "Internal". So the table looks like Product/MinValue/MaxValue/Internal
I want the report to display "TEST AND RECORD" when the Internal box is checked where the MinValue and MaxValue (that are stored in the table) would be displayed otherwise.

Move Record To New Table After Data Change In Combo Box Value In Original Table.
Nov 24, 2006Ok my problem is this......
I have a form with a field "Property Status" on it. It has 4 possible values -
"C - SHELTERED (with warden charge)";"H - SHELTERED (No warden charge)";"J - WHEELCHAIR SHELTERED (With warden charge)";"M - WHEELCHAIR SHELTERED (No warden charge)";"X - DISCONNECTED"
When the value "X - DISCONNECTED" is selected in the form I want the record to be removed from its existing table and sent to a new table which keeps all the "X - DISCONNECTED" records together.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. How would this be coded?

Warning On A Field Change.
Jan 5, 2007Hey all,
Thanks for all of the help you have already given me.
Here's another.
What I'm trying to do it get a field, which is a combo box, to pop up a warning when someone tries to change it. I'm trying to keep people from unknowingly change the name field of the time sheet. I only want the warning to show if the field being changed already has a name in it.
Here is what Ive tried.
Private Sub Employee_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If Not IsNull(Me.Employee) Then
MsgBox "Are You Sure?"
End If
End Sub
The warning works, but it shows up regardless of the field being empty or filled.
I'd like to have it so I get a msgbox using vbyesno to give the user a choice whether to keep the change or accept it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again!

Change Field Color
Dec 5, 2006I have a similar problem, I'm fairly new to ACCESS and am learning it is vastly different than EXCEL that we use (we are upgrading to ACCESS to track our "in" and "out". I have set up a ACCESS database to track our barge loading and pumping, on the delay we enter reason for the delay but if no delay occurs it is left blank. How can I get the field to change colors if information is entered and left alone if none is entered.

CHange Field Type
Aug 22, 2007I have been researching changing the field type of a table to Hyperlink and have been unsuccessful.
Everytime I add a field to a specific table the hyperlinks get busted. What I am doing programmiticaly is:
1. Deleteing the field
2. Re-creating the Field (text)
3. Concantonating two fields into the new field
4. Create a second field (hyperlink)
5. Copy those recrods into the hyperlink field
6. Delete the first
7. Rename the hyerlink to the original feild name
I get this to work but the hyperlinks are still broken.
Programmatically:
If I Create the new field
Concantonate two fields into it
Then Manually Change the field name from Text to Hyperlink
everything works great.
QUESITONS:
WHAT CODE is being run whern you go into the properties of the table and change the field type from Text to Hyperlink?
Can I use that code for this purpose?

Change Field Format Using VBA
Sep 21, 2014I have a table that contains information along with a field named "Date Input" and then a calculated field called "Due NLT Date". New records are appended to this table daily. The calculated "Due NLT Date" field is simply "[Date Input]+5".
In some unforeseen circumstances the "Due NLT Date" field needs to be extended to 6 or 7 days from the "Date Input". I am trying to find a way adjust the number of days using a command button/VBA getting the desired number of days either from an input box or from a txt box on a form.
I have been playing with using SQL ALTER TABLE in VBA but can't get it to work.
I'd image it would look something like this but how to write it correctly:
RunSQL ALTER TABLE "table" FIELD "field" to calculated "[Date Input]+ & input box "Enter number of days""

Chainname
Storenumber
