Column Names. Can I Make The Name Field "higher"? (to Make Room For More Lines)
Sep 25, 2006
I'm currently working with a form, which is in datasheet view. I have many rows which are combo boxes (yes/no), and the name is rather long. So each line (each row) spreads on to 2-3 pages to the right.
What I would like to do is make the namebar, on top of every column, a little bit higher, so the name would be split into two lines, or three. Allowing me to make the width allot smaller.
Here is an example of my problem:
http://213.213.137.96/~terminal/columns.jpg
So my question is, can I change the height of the column name? Or is there some trick I can use?
regards

I have a database of purchase orders
Many of the purchase orders have a revision No against them, eg:-
Purchase Order No / Line No / Revision No / Value
1001 / 001 / 00 / £50
1001 / 001 / 01 / £100
1001 / 001 / 02 / £200
I am trying to find a way to write a query that will show me the actual value of the final revised value of each Purchase order line ie: the answer to above is
1001 / 001 / 02 / £200
Could anyone please help?

I have a table called Locations that lists Countries and Cities:
USA, Detroit
USA, Chicago
USA, New York
UK, London
UK, Liverpool
UK, Birmingham
France, Paris
France, Le Mans
I then have another table for inputing details on people I know. This table would have columns called Country and City. I've figured out how to make the Country column a "lookup column" so that I can only enter USA, UK or France. But how do I make the City column show only the appropriate list of cities relevant to the country that I've selected (e.g. Paris or Le Mans if France is the selected country).

Hello,
I am using ASP to create a checkbox for 5 values and users can check multiple checkboxes at the same time. I store these values on ms access db table.
If a user check 2 checkbox (e.g. Mexico, Spanish), then the values is stored in the field will be "Mexico, Spanish", separate by "," or comma.
How do I create a query or report that display these values in different line?
Example:
Mexico
Spanish
Or is there any other way to do this?
Thanks for reading.
Jenny.

Hi all,
I have a Make-Table Query that has five expressions. I have changed the properties of these columns so that, when you view the query, it shows the column names I have chosen. So, instead of Expr1, I get "Haggis", and instead of Expr2, I get "Cold Toast".
BUT, when this query creates a table, the column headings revert to Expr1 and Expr2. Is there any way to make my custom column headings stick in the new table?
I should add that I frequenty run this query and overwrite the table. Thus, even if I go into the table and change the field headings, as soon as it is overwritten these changes revert.

I have 5 columns in ms access. They are as follows:
date_from, date_to, season_price, normal_price, actual_price.
However, I want to check if the sysdate is greater than date_from and less
than date_to then the value in the actual_price should be taken from the
season price for that record else the value should be taken from normal_price.
So, i would like to know how can do this? do i need to use visual basic?
I have no idea about visual basic. So, would like the complete way to do it.
Thanks

Hey Guys!
I have a problem concerning the ability to make a reference to another column in the same query.
I have two columns. Column 1 works perfectly, but in column 2 I want the outcome of column1 (coachingdato1) inserted instead of #17-07-2006#.
How is that done???
Thanks in advance!
//JR
Column1:
coachingdato1: (SELECT Max(coaching.dato) FROM coaching WHERE sælgerdata.sælgernr = coaching.sælgernr)
Column2:
coaching1: (SELECT coaching.[1] FROM coaching WHERE sælgerdata.sælgernr = coaching.sælgernr AND #17-07-2006# = coaching.dato)

I want to make a calculated column that adds 1 for every new record that isn't marked as being 'deleted' and will possibly subtract one if a record is marked as deleted. I'm not sure where to start other than calculated column.

I use a Make-Table Action query to import data from a linked table into my database. The linked table is on a network server that is automatically updated.
One column of the linked table is named "QTY/PARTIAL" and approximately 10% of the 500 records have a "P" after a number i.e. 1000 P. I would like to separate the number and the P into separate columns in the new table to faciliate being able to compute the total number "QTY".
Thanks,
Gunner...:confused:

I have a replica at work, 1 copy on the network, 1 local.. I need to add a column to the main table, getting "Operation is not supported for this type of object".... I have users that use the database but was given a change to the form/report which requires a column addition. What is the simplest way to get around this??? I'm trying not to get into major problems.

Can make a column show true or false in a table when two other columns in the table match each other? I think the statement would be like this:
If([Column1] = [Column2], True, False)
The only problem I am having is that I don't know if it can work in a table or does it just have to be in a query?

I've set the column widths properly on the subform, but the down arrow on the list box is still outside of the selection area. It may have something to do with lookups or concatenations, but I'm not finding that so in what I can think of to trace down.
I exaggerated the width of the list box to show where the down arrow actually shows itself.
See the form "frm_Class_Skills_Update" in the attached database. I need it to be visible when the list box is about 1.25" more narrow.

When I attempt to use the me.field = me.combobox.column() method to retrieve info from another query,it only works if I use column 0 or 1... it doesn't work with higher columns number.
- field name: cbofi
- row source: listado-unico-fi <-- it is a query with unique values and 7 fields in total
- event procedure, change:
Private Sub cbofi_Change()
Me.txtDOCTPT = Me.cboFI.Column(1)
Me.campovia = Me.cboFI.Column(5)
End Sub
- txtDOCTPT is the field that indeed works
- campovia is the one that does not work
I tried using column(0) and column(1) and it worked fine... but higher column numbers do not work. Just mentioning because the field names are all right.

I have a spreadsheet which contains data exported from another system (which I have no control over). I'm using this spreadsheet as a linked table in my database.
The problem I am having is that I can't guarantee that when the spreadsheet is updated, it will contain the same column headings as it did the last time...
The spreadsheet contains a list of temps, with a summary of info off their submitted timesheets. So the column headings (as well as WorkerName, TimesheetDate, etc) may be "Standard Hour", "Overtime Hour", "Over 12 hrs Hour", "Standard Day", "Overtime Day", etc - for each type there will be a Pay Rate and a number of units (hours or days) claimed. The columns only appear if 'someone' in the spreadsheet has claimed something under that heading this week.
What I need to do is to produce a report which gives a summary by person and week of the number of hours claimed and the total charge. I've done that - that part was easy The part I'm struggling with, is how to take the column headings and turn those into descriptors for each charge type... in otherwords, to go from the sample 'timesheet' below to the sample 'ByType' ?
... when I don't know which columns will be present each week?
At the moment I'm using a union query to pull out the info I need, but if the column headings change then I know it will stop working...
sample of my union query... I currently have 8 different sets of bill rate and charge rate, this just does the first couple...
Code:
SELECT qryTimesheetBaseData.[Time Sheet Start Date], qryTimesheetBaseData.[Time Sheet End Date], qryTimesheetBaseData.[Cost Centre], qryTimesheetBaseData.Worker, "Standard" AS RateType, "Hourly" AS RateCategory, qryTimesheetBaseData.[Bill Rate (ST/Hr)] AS Rate, qryTimesheetBaseData.[Time Sheet Billable Hours (ST/Hr)] AS Billable, qryTimesheetBaseData.[Time sheet Status] AS Status
[Code] ....

Would it be ok just to make a copy of the BE file (every so often) rather than to make a copy via code?The user can then just paste over the original if it becomes corrupt.

I'm creating a database that keeps a track of questions and scores.
The questions in the database need to be dynamic and are changed frequently.
I have a scorecard table which keeps a record of scores and the applicable question at the time the record was saved. I need to do this because in 6 months time we may want to provide feedback. As the question may have changed we need to be able to refer back to what the question was.
I want the question field in my scorecard table to populate with the value in my question table.
I have tried a number of things including setting the question field in the scorecard table to a lookup based on the following query:
SELECT tblQ1.Q1
FROM tblQ1;
This works however only as a list or combo box. I don't want the user to have to select the question. I want it to auto populate, is this possible?

I have a query in my database, and I have recently added new possible entries for area. My report tells me how many male chickens vs. how many female chickens I have. Now with the new entries for area, I want my breakdown to EXCLUDE any chickens that live in a specific area.
For instance:
Pen A has 15 males & 15 females.
Pen B has 12 Males & 13 Females.
Pen C has 50 males & 50 females.
Pen C is the recent addition...
Right now my report shows: 77 Males & 78 Females...
I WANT it to EXCLUDE Pen C, so it would report: 27 Males & 28 Females.
Can anyone tell me how best to do this? I figured I would add a custom field to the query that the criteria for is "Pen = C" and then on my report I would change the data source from: =Count([Chicken Query]![Male] --- and make it =Count([Chicken Query]![Male] - Count([Pen="C"]) --- or something like that.
Can anyone help me? And if so could you help with the proper code for the second part that I am adding new? I know the Count([Pen="C"]) isn't right, but until I know exactly how to add a custom field to the current query, with the critieria of Pen="C", I don't know how to write the -Count([NewField]) code, if that would even work.
Thanks!
