If you copy a field from a table or query without highlighting the information. It automatically copy's the column name aswell.
This has proven to be very annoying for some of my co workers. So I was wondering if there is a way for access to stop copying the column name aswell.
So, Is there a way for us to copy field information, just by selecting the field it self. Without copying the column name?
Is there a simple way of copying the same data down a column in Access similar to Excel with its Fill Down Column. I have tryed copying down a column and it only goes one cell at a time or if I copy 5 cells with the same data, I can copy it to 5 empty cells.

I have two tables : Table1,Table2.
Table1 has columns : A,B
Table2 has columns: A,C
What I want to do is to copy all data of "C" from Table2 to Table1 so that Table1 has columns: A,B,C..(Column "A" is common in both Tables).
I am using Access 2007 and would like to know how to copy column names from one table to another. I am importing data from excel and the column names come out as 'Field 1', 'Field 2', etc. I went through the trouble of manually renaming the column names of one of the tables (22 columns in all). I will be importing/creating 55 new access tables and don't want to have to manually rename all of these columns. All of the columns in all of the tables will be exactly the same, so I was hoping that after I did this once, I could copy the column names to the other 54 tables.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a table called ComponentIndex with about 3000 entries. Each entry has an ID field and data in a hyperlink field called MSDSlink.
For each entry, I want to copy just the address part of the hyperlink to a new text column, let's call it MSDSAddress. This way, I only have the URL and no displaytext in that new column.
How would I go about doing so?
Hi, first post here - may be a simple question, but it's been a bit of a while since I used Access, so my skills are getting rusty...
I have a form with a number of checkboxes writing to Yes/No fields in the underlying table. I then want the data to populate a report via a query. However, in the report, I would like to show only those fields where values equal TRUE/YES. In other words, for each record, only the fields where the user has checked the boxes should be displayed in the report. If possible, this should involve variable height for each record in the report, but this is not a must if too complex. It is, however, imperative not to show fields where the value is FALSE/NO. In other words, if all the fields has to go into each record in the visual layout of the report, is there a way to make the fields with negative values not visible? Any ideas how I can achieve this? I'm not sure if it can be done with just a simple Query, or with the SQL builder, or if it has to be done with VBA scripting (which would perhaps be applied to the report object rather than in the query?).
PS. If you know the answer, but are wondering how much you may need to dumb it down for my benefit, I have used Access a bit in the past, but not professionally. I have never bothered to learn VBA for Access, but have coded in VB and VBA for Excel, though, and know a bit of SQL and Java, which may give you a bit more of an idea what level to pitch it at :o).
Thanks for any input!

I am using a datasheet to show company info -
I have a field countyID which is a code field and a lookup table County
I want to show the text for county on the datasheet, should I base the datasheet on just the company table and use a combo to get the county text - or should I have query that brings in the county text.
Could the experts tell me the "correct" way of doing this?
What are the performance issues of the two methods. Is which method I choose dependent on how many records are in the lookup table?
Thanks Paul
I have an on click event to mail a report which works. I want to change the text to include data from a table.
I changed the code to include the field 'office' from the table 'Checks' but get an error saying 'Object required'.
Code is :
Private Sub cmd_mailreport_Click()
Dim office As Object
Set office = Checks.office
DoCmd.SendObject acReport, "checks", "PDFFormat(*.pdf)", _
"info@company.com", "", "", office & " Daily Check - " & Date, "Attached is the report for the office", _
True, ""
End Sub
I have already asked this question before, but only one person responded, and it was not what I was looking for.
I would like to create a code that takes(copies) each record's data from a field and paste it into another existing field within the same table. I have about 2000 records... Your help will be highly appreciated.
It will have to be a VBA code or macro because I have to alter the strings that are copied before they are pasted into the other field.
The answer is probably in here, but I can't find it... so I have two questions.
1) On a form, I have a field with Company Legal Name and Company Trade Name, most cases the company trade name is the same as the legal name. So what I would like to do, is add a button next to the Company Trade Name field so when clicked it would automatically copy the text data from legal name to trade name.
2) Same scenario as above but with mailing and shipping address if it is the same.
I have got a form with our company's representives. This form has a subform with clients certain representives aren't allowed t contact. I would like to have a 2nd sub report with all the customers listed and their addresses with the ability to highlight one or many customers, click a button and have the customer IDs and names update to the first subform. Has anyone done anything like this?

Listbox created: List62 (I know I need to rename it, but for now)
Multi-select: Extended
Row Source Type: Field List
Row Source: qryFieldList
Open Query: qrySelectedFields (I added primary key to first column, just to have at least one destination field).
Goal: to select multiple fields within listbox, click on command button to open query "qrySelectedFields" with selected fields from list box.This is the code I have on the command_click:
Dim varItem As Variant
Dim strSQL As String
If Me.List62.ItemsSelected.Count = 0 Then
MsgBox "Please select one or more fields.", vbExclamation, "Healthcare REIT"
Me.List62.SetFocus
End If
[code]....
It does absolutely nothing - doesn't add the fields to "qrySelectedFields", doesn't open the query, notta.
Ok so here is the problem I need help with,
I have a prices table that stores all the different price changes for each part I have in my Parts table what I need to figure out how to do is to copy the "Last" price for that part from the price table into the Price field of the Parts table or have some way of updating it automatically either by macro or what not - example:
Price Table:
PriceID (PKey)
PartID (Connected to Part Number ID)
Price
Price Added( Date & Time when price was added so I can groupby "Last" or "Max" in the Price Query I have made)
------------------------
Parts Table:
PartID (Pkey)
Part Number
Price
-------------
Now how do I take the value my Price query gives me for "Last" or "Max" Price using the last date for that parts price and have it automatically get copied into the Parts Table price?
Thanx
I have a field that has a description of the project I'm working on, which has client information on it. I want to take all 600 of those records and copy them to fields in the same table, so that I can remove the client information, which will allow me to pull whichever of those two I need when I run a query.

In my tables i have used calculated fields. one of the fields is to "total expenses." In a report, i need to show the sum of all the "total expenses", the filed populates in the report but the cents are missing. for example if the amount is 6080.40 it shows as 6080. how can i get around this? I have tried changing the decimal point value to 2 at which point the value turns to 6080.00 when it should be 6080.40 (i am a beginner at this i am assuming the answer will probably involve c++ or visual basic's, two concepts i am not familiar with.)
View 2 Replies View RelatedHello there, I'm having a problem very much like the one described by this user (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=113742&highlight=SQL+blank+spaces) where an SQL statement I am using to read data from one table and copy it to another is filling the remaining field space with blanks.
I didn't notice until a VBA module I worked on later on which was to read data from the new table and copy the selected record into a form said it could not find the records. The code:
Do Until blnFound = True Or rs.EOF
'DEBUG: answer = MsgBox("ok", vbYesNo)
'DEBUG: MsgBox rs("Account Name")
If rs("Account Name") = strAName Then
MsgBox "DEBUG: FOUND " & rs("Account Name")
blnFound = True
End If
rs.MoveNext
Loop
The record selector just goes straight to EOF because rs("Account Name") never matches strAName (as strAname has all those damned spaces after the useful data).
I wondered if perhaps there was some way to use the code in the other thread to read the length of useful data and then chop off the garbage spaces afterwards, but I'm worried it would be incredibly slow when running through the thousands of records. Also, the field has legitimate spaces in between words (most of the account names are two or three words in length).
The SQL statement responsible is as follows:
strASQL(i) = "INSERT INTO " & strTableName & "([CAccount No], [Short Name], " & _
"[Account Name], [Telephone], [Fax], [Contact Name], " & _
"[Mail address1], [Mail address2], [Mail address3], [Mail address4], " & _
"[Analysis1], [Analysis2], [Analysis3])" & _
" SELECT [CAccount No], [Short Name], " & _
"[Account Name], [Telephone], [Fax], [Contact Name], " & _
"[Mail address1], [Mail address2], [Mail address3], [Mail address4], " & _
"[Analysis1], [Analysis2], [Analysis3] " & _
"FROM tblCustomer WHERE [" & strField(i) & "] LIKE '" & strValue(i) & "';"
strASQL, strField and strValue are arrays and this SQL statement runs in a loop, as this is part of a search form for multiple possible entries. It all works fine except it always adds those damned spaces :D
Any suggestions?? Cheers.
I have an access database where i allow users to review coffeeshops they have visited. I have multiple entries they can enter such as rate_weed, rate_service, rate_atmosphere, rate_price.
I would like to be able to have an "overall" rating which averages these four columns together. Is this possible??
Many thanks for your help

I posted a few days ago about how I am using a combo box for selecting/entering a name on a form. Once the name is chosen for 'txtEventLeader' it updates the query so the next record shows that name as an option for selection in the combobox.
What I want to do now is also have a field called 'txtEventFacilitator' which would also update the query and update the combobox (regardless if one is choosing the Event Leader or Event Facilitator). I think I need to make a one column query which puts all of the names in one column, regardless if they were the Event Leader or Event Facilitator.
I hope I asked this correctly.

Hi Everyone,
I hope I'm posting in the right place, I've been trying to solve my problem using queries so I thought it might be appropriate here.
I have a database for a health care service which contains among others the following four tables...
Table 1 contains client details, primary key [ClientID] plus other client details.
Table 2 contains Episode of care details, primary key [EpisodeofcareID], [episodeofcareDate] etc...
Table 3 contains all test results for assessment 1, primary key [CoreID], [CoreDate] plus numerous scores for individual tests.
Table 4 contains all test results for assessment 2, primary key [HonosID], [HonosDate] plus numerous scores for individual tests.
Table 1 is linked to Table 2, and Table 2 is linked to both Table 3 & 4.
I have set up a search procedure whereby the user enters a clients name which then opens a list box of all clients with that name. When the client selects from the listbox I want a second listbox to open which has three visible columns. One giving the date of each episode of care for the client, the second giving the date of each assessment completed and the third giving the name of the assessment carried out.
I'm managing to get the date of the Episode of Care to display on the first visible column but I'm getting stuck on the next two. This would seem to involve somehow combining data from different tables into individual columns on the listbox. For example I need the second visible column on this listbox to list all the dates of assessments for the chosen client from tables 3 & 4. (e.g. [CoreDate] and [HonosDate]). Column three would then give the title of the assessment next to the date in column two. None of the tables have a field listing titles as this is determined by which table the data is entered into. I've been trying to solve this by queries without much success.
Could anyone give some ideas as to how I could solve these problems?
Many Thanks
John
How you could display a few selected fields in different rows within the same table.
SO as an example
Machine_No Board_No Board_Mode Board_Data
1 1 xxx xxxx
1 2 yyy ssss
1 3 ttt wwww
2 1 323 dddd
2 2 eee qqqq
2 3 rrr pppp
Based on which Machine_No i pick, i would like to display it's Board_Mode and Board_Data for all Board_No values (1,2,3)
i will be able to display this on the same form. (say machine_no = 1)
Board_Mode Board_data
1 xxx xxxx
2 yyy ssss
3 ttt wwww
I have a form with lots of combo boxes and text boxes. They are all linked to various MS Access tables and some of the fields are mandatory. I would like do an check to see if all the mandatory fields are not null i.e. are populated with a value and then run an update query for my master table in the database to flag the records as being complete if all the mandatory fields are populated.
If (IsEmpty(tab1.cmb_a)) Then do something
But I am just blank at the moment on how to proceed, especially on how I can do all the checks and then populate the database.
I am using .FormFields to fill a quotation template in Word, but the subform I am retrieving the data from has rows of records under each column and I need to send more than just the first row to fill the required bookmarks in Word.

With doc
.FormFields("FirstName").Result = Me!FirstName
.FormFields("FirstName2").Result = Me!FirstName
.FormFields("LastName").Result = Me!LastName
.FormFields("LastName2").Result = Me!LastName
[Code] ......
