Concatenating Fields Defined As QryQueryName.ColumnName?
Jun 28, 2005
Hi
I did a search to no avail...
I am trying to concatenate Address fields into one text box. The Control Source pull-down menu gives me the Field Names listed as QueryName.ColumnName.
I know that if they listed the fields as just ColumnName, you'd simply go:
ColumnName & " " & ColumnName2...
But the way these columns are defined, I cant find the correct syntax.
Is there a way to do this without changing all my queries??
I want to produce some UPCa bar codes which require 11 digits of TEXT for the barcode function to work.
I want the bar code to be made up of several fields Make 3 Chars (Text) (eg 021) Model 3 Chars (Text) (eg 103) Serial_Number 5 Characters (Numeric) (eg 00025) (I need to keep the Serial_Number field numeric so that it increments in modulo 10 format (ie get Numeric only results))
So i need to produce a field that looks like this 02110300025 after the 3 fields are concatenated
However I am getting 02110325
I'm sure that the answer is simple but I seem to be having a mental block. Does anyone have any ideas? Your help will be very appreciated.
Ive got a table called tblClientCar, this is its structure:
ClientCarID ClientID CarID
I want to use an append query to concatenate ClientID and CarID together and putting the concatenated value into ClientCarID. How would i do this?
Ive tried using a form a two combos so when i select the clientID from the 1st combo and then the CarID from the 2nd combo, then run the append query to write the concatenated value into ClientCarID of the table. But it says writing 0 rows to table and the ClientCarID isnt concatenated when i check the table. This is the query sql syntax i was using:
INSERT INTO tblClientCar ( ClientCarID, ClientID, CarID ) SELECT tblClientCar.ClientCarID, tblClientCar.ClientID, tblClientCar.CarID FROM tblClientCar WHERE (((tblClientCar.ClientCarID)=[Forms]![frmClientCar].[Combo6] & "" & [Forms]![frmClientCar].[Combo8]));
I also tried another way. The 2 combos add the selected values into ClientID and CarID in the table tblCar. So i made the append query slightly different to concatenate ClientID and CarID to form ClientCarID. This is my query sql syntax:
INSERT INTO tblClientCar ( ClientCarID, ClientID, CarID ) SELECT tblClientCar.ClientCarID, tblClientCar.ClientID, tblClientCar.CarID FROM tblClientCar WHERE (((tblClientCar.ClientCarID)=[ClientID] & "" & [CarID]));
I get the same result as the 1st query. What am i doing wrong? Is there another way of doing what im trying to do? Whats the correct sql syntax for doing this?
We use two different systems in our office that have notebook facilities. One of them stores only a limited number of characters in the note field per record and as such, some notes actually span several records. The other system stores the whole note in one record. We want to transfer all the notes from the first system (1 note over several records) to the second system (1 whole note in 1 record). I have a table with the notes from the first sytem which looks something like Note1 - Line1 - Text Note1 - Line2 - Text Note2 - Line1 - Text Note3 - Line1 - Text Note3 - Line2 - Text Note3 - Line3 - Text
What I want to do is, for each note, combine the separate lines into one record. I have been able to do this in Excel with some formulas (see attachment) but am wondering if it is possible to do this in an Access Query (i.e. GroupBy the note number and have a calculated field combining the individual lines of the note, or something similar)?
In a query, I'm using concatenation to join multiple address fields (organisation, building number, street address, etc) into one field. I'm also inserting line breaks to create a formatted address and then creating a form on the query so the formatted address appears in a text box and can be copied and pasted straight into my label-writer software to print address labels.
However, one problem with which I am now presented is where a field is blank. E.g. if one of my contacts is retired, then they don't have an organisation listed in the "Organisation" field. This means that a blank line is left between their name and the rest of the address.
When running a mailmerge there is the option of skipping blank fields so that a blank line is not inserted in such cases.
I have a query that is set up to join two name fields...for example:
[ELIGVENDORS.LSTNAM] & [ELIGVENDORS.FSTNAM]
The issue is that this is perfect for names that are entered in the table like this:
Lstnam: ABC HOSP Fstnam: ITAL
They are entered like that for groups, but when individual doctors are entered, the data entry folks are entering them like this:
Lstnam: SMITH Fstnam: BOB Titlcd: MD
So when I join them the first displays correctly as ABC HOSPITAL, the second displays as SMITHBOBMD and I have to manually go in and add a comma.
Is there a way to do an if/then statement or something to tell the query to display results If the titlecd is NOT NULL, display as [ELIGVENDORS.FSTNAM] & [ELIGVENDORS.LSTNAM]&", "&[ELIGVENDORS.TITLCD], else display as [ELIGVENDORS.LSTNAM] & [ELIGVENDORS.FSTNAM]
I'm sure there is, I am new to IF/THEN statments though and was hoping to get some help setting it up.
Thanks in advance and I hope my description is clear enough.
I have five reason fields in my table and I would like combine them into one field on my report, with line breaks between so each reason starts on it's on line. Also if there is a blank record, I would like the report not to display a blank line. I have found ways to do this online for 2 records but I need this for 5.
Also when I do manage to get the lines all to show in the report there are 3 paragraph returns between them - making the reason display of the report 15 lines tall, not just 5. The code I have so far, which displays each of the reasons but spaced as described is:
I'm trying to add some fields to a table in access 2007 using design view and I keep getting an error message telling me too many fields defined when I try and save it. Surely access doesn't have a limit on the number if fields does it?
I have a table in which I have about 245 fields (I know they are too much, but cant change the structure). There are about 4 numeric fields, which have field type as Long Integer. I want to change them to Field type Single. When I try to change them, I get a message too many fields defined. What is the solutionß Can someone suggest? regards K

Hi. I have a dtabase (Access 97) and all ahs been well. I needed to adjust some field sizes. But if I try to even reduce 1 field's size or to increase 1 field's size and save the table, I get a message that it cannot be saved due to too many fields defined. But I am only adjusting size of an existing field.
I copied some VBA from one database to another. I didn't change anything and I am able to run it fine in the first database. But in the DB I pasted it to, I am received a Compile Error message with the XlApp As Excel.Application area highlighted.
Function OpenAutoCount() Dim xlApp As Excel.Application Dim xlWB As Excel.Workbook
This is giving me the error 'User defined type not defined'. I know I have to set something in a list somewhere but have forgotten how to do that. Where to go, and what to set?
I am at the last phase of producing an extensive analysis report. The last calculation I need to the query QryCom_CalculationFinal gives me the "Too many fields defined" error. I have verified that "Ps_Score" calculation push the system into overload, as QryComp_CalculationFinalPrt01 without this calculation works fine.
Data is stored in 11 tables each with matching primary key. Each table has in the range of 20 fields of which only numbered data type are being used in calculations.
Each Data table has 3 augmenting queries. All these queries work individually.
Summarizing query "QStationCountList_Sum" works fine.
Calculating a summation score by each "Master_PS_ID" works fine if I only try to summarize data by 3 of the calculating queries. As you can see in the attached database "QStationTotalScore1_6" query based on 6 gives "Too many fields defined". (I have tried so many fixes I can not remember and received messages such as "To Complex") While a similar query on 3 works fine.
At this juncture I plan to build 4 new partial sum queries each from 3 collecting queries and then build a 5 Summation query adding the results from the Sum queries. Surely there is a better way.
On Compiling my assecc database VB code I get the following error message "User defined type not defined". I understand it is beecause I have not declared the Variable Type, but have no idea to exactly which part of the code the error is referring to.
How do I find out WHICH User defined type is not defined, especially when I have not got any (or do not want to use any) user defined types?
Thank you in advanced programming wizards. Kind regards, Adam.

hi, I am new to this forum and to MS Acess. i am not a software engineer or in the field of software. I had to learn as much as i could about MS Acess because of a project i worked on. I have a standalone MSacess database and one of the forms is giving me trouble when I try to enter a new record
The form is called frm_fragrances and has information about a fragrance. the frm_fragrances has 4 fields in it and a sub form. the sub form has details about the fragrance
In a new record when I enter the 4 fields and attemt to go to the subform which has details about this fragrance I face this error.
an unexpected error haas occurred @2465: application defined or object defined error.
additional information Active form:<frm_fragrances> Active control:<txt_VendorName> Previous control:<frm_fragrances>@Please call the developer for further instructions
I have looked in the FAQ and on this forum for help on error 2465 and cannot find anything to help me. I can work with forms to an extent but cannot write too much code.
I would really appreciate some help in this matter Thank you
I am trying to set a default to a new Yes/No field to 0/False in code. I can not find the syntax that will work for a BIT data type. I have tried everything I can think of, plus I can not find any documentation for Jet SQL. Any Ideas? So far I have tried this statement: ALTER TABLE tblProperty ADD COLUMN Dropped bit DEFAULT 0; withe these variations for the default value: (0); ((0)); FALSE; false; False; '0'; "0" None of these have worked.
I am trying to create a basic query that adds four numbers, but when I try '[Mark1]+[Mark2]+[Mark3]+[Mark4]' it concatenates it instead of adding. e.g. I have '58+96+13+45' and I get '58961345' instead of 212.
New person to the forums here. I've had a scroll through the FAQs and can't see an answer to a problem I need to solve. I wonder if there's anyone could offer some help?
My db has three tables: table_a, table_b and table_c. Each table has the following fields:
table_a a_id (PK) a
table_b b_id (PK) b
table_c c_id (PK) a_id (FK (many to one)) b_id (FK (many to one)) c
I would like field c in table c to be a concatenation [table_a].[a]+"-"+[table_b].[b]. I'd like this field to automatically generate and be constrained as unique. Creation of value c in table_c should be by selection of value a & then value b in a form based on table_c.
Can anyone advise me how I do this?
By the way - editing to add this - I am using MS Access 2000 & can't upgrade to a later version.
