Number Field Changing

Jan 17, 2005

This might be simple but I just can't figure it out.

I have a table that has a number field. Everytime I enter the number 1.50, it changes to 2. I would like to keep the 1.50. Somehow, I can't get this right. Is there a setting that I have to change? Would I need to make setting changes on the form portion also?

thanx for any help

Changing To Field Value Instead Of Fields.

Dec 14, 2006

Help needed: Large Yes/no tables!

I have a form with names of employees, and different skills that employee has.

It is listed in a form as columns with the employee name in rows, and columns for the skills. The form is in fact really great, but I see that the solution might bring problems in the future because of maintainance issues, and field limitations. I add fields frequently, and the table is growing without me beeing able to control it.

I have organized this in only one table, and used the name of the skill as a field. There is many other tables in the DB, but none of them covers this area.

exampletable:

employeeID | auto
employeename | text
Hireddate | date/time
Fireddate | date/time
baking | yes/no
cooking | yes/no
driving | yes/no
juggling | yes/no

With this solution I get the skillname as a heading, and the name as a column with lots of yes/no values. I love the filter functions, and the form is quite nice...


exampleform:

Employee baking cooking driving juggling
employeeeID1 yes no no yes
employeeeID2 no yes yes yes
employeeeID3 no no yes yes
employeeeID4 yes yes yes no

and so on.

Is there a way to organize this so that the skill name comes in the top row, the results get listed as shown above when the skill is placed as a field value, not a field itself?

I have looked for a solution with many-to-many relations with 3 tables, but cant seem to make it work right. It is especially the form I have trouble creating with the new design.
I have also tried to make crosstab queries with minor success.

Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can make the relations work.
One employee can possess a great number of different skills, and the skill can be possessed by a great number of employees. This is not a difficult issue by itself, the problem is to make the form as shown over.



Thank you, in advance.

Changing The Field Name - Dynamically

Feb 18, 2006

Hi All,

I have built queries based on tables. The field names are the technical field names of an application. For example pernr is actually Personnel Number etc.

My queries are set up as follows:

Field = pernr
Table = etc

I would like to rename pernr to Personnel Number so that the column heading in the datasheet view is Personnel Number.

I know I can do this manually for each query by using the following as the field: Personnel Number: pernr

Is there any way of getting this be done dynamically using a lookup table etc. I have lots of queries and I don't want to manually change them all. Furthermore, if I wanted to rename Personnel Number to Personnel No. then I could do it in the mapping table rather than in all the queries.

Thanks,

Evan

Changing The Field List

Apr 5, 2006

Hello,
I have a form that I need to modify. Currently, the field list shows Query 1 as the 'control source' for the text boxes on the form and I need to change to use Query 2 but I am unsure of how to do this. Do I have to delete the test boxes and start fresh or can I change the field list and use Query 2 as the source?
Thanks for any help.

Changing Value Of Another Form Field

Jun 30, 2006

I have a property form for keeping track of houses and buildings owned and then on that form i have a policy field for the policy number of the insurance called txtPolicy. Next to that field I have a little button which opens a form so it will show all the insurance policies associated with the housing group which the property is in. When i select the appropriate policy and double click it in the listbox I want it to close the form and set the value of the txtPolicy to the one just selected in the listbox. I know how to get the value of the item selected in the listbox but I just don't know how to set the value of a field on another form...

Changing Field Names

Dec 14, 2005

I am using ASP to try to edit the column (field) names of my Access database. Here is an example of would I would like to work:

Code:data_source = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=" & _ Server.MapPath("databases/logins.mdb")Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")rs.CursorType = 2rs.LockType = 3 rs.Open "SELECT * FROM Users;" , data_sourcers(1).name="blah"

The last line is the problem. A field name in an ADO recordset is limited to read-only persmissions for opened (already exisiting) recordsets.
link:http://www.w3schools.com/ado/prop_name.asp

Is there another way around this without using an SQL "ALTER" statement. In other words, by accessing the field's name through a number like rs(i).name instead of rs("fieldname").name?

Thanks.

Changing Field Format Defaults

Jul 5, 2005

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!

Update Is Changing Field Type

Oct 1, 2007

i have a temporary table which is created by importing an excel file

some extra fields are then added to the table using sql vb code for example

strSQL = "ALTER TABLE [TBL_TmpSubmission] ADD COLUMN [EnergyUnit] TEXT;"
CurrentProject.Connection.Execute strSQL

these fields are later populated conditionally using an update exectuted again from vb code

If Me.cboProgram.Column(0) < 3 Then
strSQL = "UPDATE TBL_TmpSubmission SET EnergyUnit = 'GWh'"
Else
strSQL = "UPDATE TBL_TmpSubmission SET EnergyUnit = 'CarbonTonne'"
End If
CurrentProject.Connection.Execute strSQL

the problem is that this field now has a memo data type, this is a problem because i need to write a query which uses this field in a table join and access won't let you join on the memo type

anyone know why this might happen? for the time being i'm going to try and fudge this by using a further ddl statement to change the data type back to text but i'd rather know whats going on here

Changing Colors In A Field Automatically

Mar 15, 2005

Hi everyone,

The problem I'm having is I need to have the background of a field change color depending on what's contained within the field. There's only three possible entries in the field: active, inactive, and a blank entry. I need it to show green if the field contains "active", red if the field is "inactive" or is blank (I also want the blank fields to show inactive, but that's niether here or there right now.)

I've been trying to get it to work with an if then statement, and setoption to change the background. I've had no luck with any of it, though.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Changing Data In A Field Using A Form

Dec 14, 2005

I have made attempts at this but none have worked, so I am looking for guidence.

What I creating is a database that I can track students and their community service hours.

I have made several versions but I figured the experts could point me in the right direction.

So far I created two tables:

tblStudents
STUDENT_NAME - Text
HOURS_GIVEN - Long Integer

tblHours
STUDENT_NAME - text Links to tblStudent
DATE_COMPLETED - Date
HOURS_COMPLETED - Long Integer

I created a form "frmStudent" with the following:

a drop box to chose a student name from "tblStudent"
a text box "txtSTUDENT_NAME"
another text box "txtHOURS_GIVEN"
another text box "HOURS_REMAINING"

Then I have a subform that has two text boxes "txtDATE_COMPLETED and "txtHOURS_COMPLETED"

I need a code that will enable me to chose a student from the combo box and then have that students name and hours given automatically enter into the respective text boxes in the main form. Then I would enter the date and hours completed into the respective text boxes of the subform, which in turn would update the fields in "tblHours" at the same time subtracting the new hours from the hours given and displaying the new total hours remaining in the respective in "txtHOURS_REMAINING" of the main form. Can anyone give me any help in coding that? Thanks in advance.

Changing Field Background Colour

Mar 31, 2006

I'm opening a form in snapshot view and would like the background colour of all the fields in the form to be a dark colour to show that it is in snapshot. the user then clicks Amend and the background colour would change to something lighter to show they can amend the record. Is there any way of on the OnClick event of the Amend button change all the fields (and there's lots) at once without having to name them all individually, ie:

Me.text1.background = whatever
me.text2.background = whatever

Thanks

Next Record After Changing A Sorted Field

Jun 9, 2006

Hi guys, I need a little help on next record stuff...:eek:

Can someone please explain how I can make my database actually go to the "Next" record after I update the "LName" field on my form? My database is sorted on "LName". After I update the "LName" field and save the record, the sort order is messed up. If I requery the form in the sub routine, the database goes to the first record. I need it to go to the "Next" record (the one that would have actually come next before I changed the LName). For example, if my database contains these names:

Baker
Doe
Franklin
Goodwin
Johnson
Jones
Smith
Taylor

and I change the current record's LName from Franklin to Phranklin, I expect the database to go to Goodwin (the record that would have followed Franklin) after pressing my next record command button. Likewise, if I changed Phranklin to Franklin, I expect the database to go to Smith (the record that would have followed Phranklin) after pressing my next record command button.

I've tried different versions of FINDFIRST on this site, but can't get it to work. I would like to find the next record based on my key field (autonumber) named "rec_id".

Thanks, and luv ya in advance!

Quick Question Regarding Changing The Value Of A Field

Dec 15, 2006

I just wanted to know the VB code for changing the value of a field in one table from another.

What I need to specifically do is implement code in an AfterUpdate to change the value of a field in another table if a certain threshold is exceeded (in this case, entering a dollar amount greater than what I have specified). Effectively, I need this to 'flag' a contract by changing the field in another table to read "VOID".

Thanks in advance for all suggestions!

I have a query that pulls records from a main table based on a check box and I need a macro or code that will set the field value as if it were unchecked.

BTW I am self-taught and new at this so don't make fun of me if the question seems stupid.

Changing Field Attributes In Code

Jan 24, 2007

I know that I can use an Alter Table query to add table fields from code.

But what if I just want to change a field from being Required or Not Required, or perhaps change the field width of a text field?

How do I do that from VBA?

Changing Case Of Data In A Field

Mar 16, 2012

I've purchased & downloaded this Zip Code Database which has every Zip zcode in the U.S. which I use for different projects/reasons. The problem is, ALL of the data is upper case letters. I was wondering if in Access (or Excel) is there any way I could convert all of the letters (except the first letter) from upper case to lower case letters?

Changing A Field In The Table And The Form Not Opening

Aug 20, 2005

I have made a table and quered that table. I have a form that I designed and is working well. It updates the table like it is supposed to. The problem I have is when I go in and change the master table. I decided that instead of havinga field titled "Unlisted/Listed" I just made it Listed and you put a yes or no. But when I do that and go back to the form a box pops up asking for some value. How do I fix this? Thank you.

Changing Field Length In Large Database.

Feb 6, 2006

I am trying to change a field lenght of a large database (access 97) It is at 50 right now and want to change it to 25. When I try to change it and save the table I get a error when the bar is about 3/4 the way accross the bottom.

Microsoft can't change the data type - there isn't enough disk space or memory.

then

not enough space on temporary disk

This is error 3183. In the help it says that the TEMP DOS enviroment variable location doesn't have enough space. (summerising). Now I have a 100+gb drive that isn't close to being full. I also changed the MaxLocksPerFile registry dword to 8,000,000 as my table has around over 3 million records. I have tried this on a xp and 2000 machine same results. Next I am going to try it on a 98 machine. I could do it by breaking up the table into 2 differnt ones and do each one individually but there is an autonumber field used as a reference number (I know I know). So that would screw up the numbering scheem (Yes I know there are ways arund that also). this database is about 400MB

Couple of questions
1. Is there a way around this? I have not found a solution on line yet.
2. Will lowering the field length make the database smaller (the data that is in there now is less than 25 charecters and the field is set to 50.) I have gotten mixed info on this. there are a few fields I would like to reduce.

Thanks

Updating A Field After Changing Or Adding Record

Jan 6, 2005

I have a text field "Record Last Updated" on a form formatted for date/time that I would like to update after a record is changed or added. So for every change or addition the field would update to the current date. The code I am currently trying to use is as follows:

'Assign current system date to Last Updated field if change of data occurs in any field
For Each ctl In Me.Form.Controls

If (ctl.ControlType = acTextBox) Or (ctl.ControlType = acComboBox) _
Or (ctl.ControlType = acListBox) Then
If Nz(ctl, "") = ctl.OldValue Then

Else
txtLastUpdated.Value = Date
End If
End If
Next ctl

This executes in the forms After_Update event procedure.
Problem is I get an error 3020 "Update or CancelUpdate without AddNew or Edit" when moving to the next record ? I have tried using .Edit and .Update but those come up as an invalid reference?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
