Does anyone know how to change a field FORMAT default? I am creating lots of tables with lots of number format fields. I don't, however, want a zero default value (or any default value for that matter) for all of these fields. I can go in and delete them manually, but that seems like a backward way of doing things. Does anyone know how to elimate that default value from the format of a number field in general?
Thanks!

I am using an append query to move data into another database. One of the fields being imported is a date field in text form (20141201). I need it appear in the final database in text form (01/12/14) I have tried using several date conversions and cant get this work. Ideally i need the final value as a text rather than date.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a calculated field in a report, which is as follows:
=IIf(IsNull([POI_E1A]),(([TodaysDate]-[EADDate])/365)/3,[A1]+[T2]+[A3]+[T4]+[A5]+[T6]+[A7]+[A8])
The calculation works fine; however, I only want to show the whole number (not rounded up; not rounded down). In other words, if the result is 0.9967, then I want 0 to appear.
I cannot figure out how to make this happen. In the properties section I ensured the format was "general number" with 0 decimal places but this didn't change the result. I tried changing the format in the calculated field, again, I wasn't successful.
I have a continuous form that displays data from a table. What I am trying to accomplish is to change the format of the field if the string length is equal to 11, to "@@@-@@@-@@@@-@". Otherwise if it is greater or less than 11 then no format.
I have tried it using code:
If Len(Me.FormFieldName)=11 Then
Me.FormFieldName.Format = "@@@-@@@-@@@@-@"
End If
Is it even possible and if so is my syntax correct or am I way off base?
Hello,
I would like to format the currency values in a query. There values will either be Euro or Pound. Is it possible to change the currency format "on the fly" in this way in a query?
I would like to have a variable currency format. For example:
If [fldCurrency] = [Euro] Then format [fldAmount] As Euro
If [fldCurrency] = [Pound] or [GBP] Then format [fldAmount] As Sterling
How does one format data as Euro?
Many thanks,

I have a table populated with several thousand records-one field is a date field in the format of 5/5/2006. I have to change the data so that it is 5/05/2006 in order to import it into a SQL table.
I'm sure there has to be an easy way to do it, but I can't come up with it. Changing the imput mask on the field affects future data input but does not change what is currently there.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks!
I have this problem, I have a field that updates by using the now() function. The problem is when I run a date query I have a problem due to the long date format. Is there a way to change all the records with a Long date format to a short date one?
Here is an example of what im working with:
Long Date: Januar 1, 2007 2:00 PM
Short Date: January 1, 2007
When I run a query I only get the records with the short date even though I have records with the Long Date format don't show up.
Hi All,
Is it possible to change the format of a date picker, for instance once i have selected a date, its is visible as 09/11/2006, can this be edited to just the month and the year 11/2006.
Hi,
I'm using a web based form to store dates (and other records) in an access database. I use the dd/mm/yyyy date format (europe. go figure)
Anyway, the problem is that when submitting an ambiguous date, as in 11/01/2004, access sees it as 01-NOV-2004 rather then 11-JAN-2004, as it should.
Why does this happen, and how can I fix it. I have no problem doing the fixing in the access file itself or in the SQL command that populates it- whatever works best.
Thanks,

I have a small issue, but cannot solve it. I have a form with a textbox bound to a time(7) on a SQL server linked table.
Even if I put the format as "Short time 24h" or "hh:mm" it will always come out with seconds, nanoseconds, etc as soon as you change record. I would like to avoid using the "current" event to keep the "hh:mm" at any record change.
I am having difficulties changing a date/time field like '22/04/2013 09:14' to make it look like '2013-04-22 09:14' using a query.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHow to get this expression to work? It works by changing the numbers to correct date format, however, if the field is null, I want a blank to appear instead of "type"
=IIf([DATE_APPLIED_X] Is Null,"""",CDate(Mid([DATE_APPLIED_X],5,2) & "/" & Right([DATE_APPLIED_X],2) & "/" & Left([DATE_APPLIED_X],4)))

How do I change the background colors and text formatting in all of the reports in one database at the same time? If this is not possible, is there an easier way to change the report formatting without going through every report?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a database (split into front and backend). Users populate the table using a form on the front end. Recently, it has been pointed out that some of the data entered into one specific textbox is being changed on the table. The data entered is always has a minimum of a letter and number value i.e. "A1", "A2" etc. Upon examining the table, this has changed into numeric values i.e. "1291", "1061", "852"... etc. Looks like it is translating them into both 3 and 4 digit numerical values by the looks of things. Where more complex data is entered such as "2(A1, A2)" these seem unaffected.
The field is set to text, I have set no validation rule, format or input mask. Just can't see why access is changing these values. It seems to be translating them, but I can't see a pattern.
I wanted to assign the field "Number of magazine" with special format based on date/time format but showing only year and month in the format: "yyyy-mm".
So in property of this field in format I put yyyy-mm and in input mask I type 0000-00;;-
I also created the form based on the table containing above field and I defined format and input mask for corresponding formant in the same way like at the table.
But if I try to type date for example 2014-01 in text box of the form it comes up with the full date 2014-01-01. Why does it do like this? What do I do incorrectly?
I am having a problem with 3 pc's attached to our network but at a different campus. They have been complaining that the Snapshot Views of reports they are running are stopping the print queue by asking to load paper type 'bond' to the printer. I have checked the Snapshot Viewer printer settings on thoses machines and indeed they are defaulting to 'paper type - bond'. Setting the paper type to Plain or Unspecified will only print on that type for that instance. Is there anywhere to set the default paper type, i cannot find anything!!
View 5 Replies View RelatedTo set the default values for controls, select the control on the tool bar and press F4. The default value properties list will appear. I like to turn off all of the 3D stuff by resetting some the values like 'Special Effect', 'Border Style', etc. This way I don't have to manually change them after the fact...
Thanks Ken have done this - however when I go off and word with a differant mdb file then come back to the original which I had open when I entered the defaults - the defaults have disappeared.
Any suggestions.

i have set up option groups (using the wizard) with Yes=1, No = 2 and N/A =3 with the default set to 3. After creating the option groups the default does not default even though the properties box clearly shows the default being set to 3 - can anyone suggest why this would be?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have combo boxes that have all been created using the wizard with the options Yes, No and Not Applicable. There is no default set but they default to the second entered option ("No") every time. I have created the form a second time in the hope this would do something but to no avail. Any ideas??

Hi All,
I am wondering if it is possible using VBA to update using either an option group or check boxes as shown in the frmDefaultValue in the attached file to update two tables tblLabelNumber and tblMediaType.
The form frmMedia contains two combo boxes. I am trying to use the form frmDefaultValue with an option group and check boxes as shown as not sure what is the best method here to update the values in the two table tblLabelNumber & tblMediaType at the push of a button Update as in the form?
Look forward to any comments on this.

My combobox is not working correctly. When I select one of the dropdown items in the combobox it always defaults to the 1st item on the list. I want to be able to select any of the dropdown items on the list.
