I have a large table (over 20,000 records) where the text fields were all set at 255 - even those requiring a single character entry. Is there a way to determine the highest existing character count for each field so I can set the text fields to a reasonable setting? After a compact and repair will existing records be set to the new setting?
I have a form where I want a textbox [txtMaxOrdLimit] to be visible only if another text box on the same form [PaNumber] contains the letter D in the string. This is the code I have on the forms On Current property but I'm missing something because textbox [txtMaxOrdLimit] doesn't show on the form at all.
If Me.PaNumber = "*D" Then Me.txtMaxOrdLimit.Visible = True Else Me.txtMaxOrdLimit.Visible = False End If
I have 4 fields I'm trying to combine, but I need to add spaces between field 1 and the rest of them. The total character count needs to be 22 including the spaces.
Example:
Field 1: THE
Field 2: 1234
Field 3: BOAT
Field 4: 0001
End Result: THE 1234BOAT0001
Need to add 7 spaces to equal 22 characters.
Fields 1, 2, and 3 can vary in number of characters.
I've search the forums...If you can find a thread that discusses this, or can give me some advice on this topic, let me know.
Is there any built-in function that will allow me to delete any text before a certain point in a record... Or perhaps a way to use the REPLACE function to do so?
All of my records look like this (They're ticker symbols): AMZN:Amazon, Inc WMT:Wal-Mart Inc. A:Agilen Tech Inc MSFT:Microsoft Inc.
I just want the company name...Unfortunately, the ticker symbols aren't always the same length, so I can't use the left or right function.
I need to delete the colon and anything to the left of the colon. I've thought of a great use of the replace function for this purpose...I used wildcards...Too bad it didn't work!
Just The Company Name: Replace([Ticker Symbol and Name],"*" & ":","")
I have a form to capture client information. I would like to have the the first character of the name fields (First and Last) be automatically capitalized. How can I set the field to do this?
What can i put on a text box to limit the amount of characters entered like the 'field size' property for a table. I want to limit entry to 40 characters. Thanks in advance for any help,
i would like to make a query in ma access can extract text between first and second character "/" and when there are not "/" in field it returns null.now data in my table are like below
Quote:
No option1 1 100 2 145/Mechanical/0800 3 120/electrical/1620 4 131/mechanical/0200/dw-001
Now I like to make a query can extract text between first and second character "/" like below: No option1 discipline
I have a database that I imported as a comma deliminated csv file. To keep my original text comas intact I changed all the commas to semicolons before I created the csv file and imported the data. I now have a data base with semicolons in place of the original commas.
I am trying to use the update query function to change all the semicolons back to commas in one of the database fields called File_name
I have a data entry where a record in the File_name field looks like this for example
Chevrolet cavalier; red
and I want to change it so that it looks like
Chevrolet cavalier, red
I run an update query with the criteria set as Like "*;*"
and this finds all the records which have a semicolon in them
I have set the update field to "*,*"
but all this does is to change the record from
Chevrolet cavalier; red
to
*,*
Is the query update the way to go and what is the syntax that I should be using in the Update field just to change the semicolon to a comma and leave the other text intact?
I'm having trouble converting text to proper text in Access 2010 using Windows 8.1 as OS.
The message I keep getting is:
The expression you entered contains invalid syntax. You omitted an operand or operator, you entered an invalid character or comma, or you entered text without surrounding it in quotation marks.
I am using Access 2007. I recently converted my table field from text to memo. When I run a query and report linked to the qry the memo text is displayed as Chinese character or square box (if field is empty). In some forum posts this is shown as a font bug e.g. with Calibri. I changed from Calibri to Arial as this was reported to correct the bug. It did not work.
My field is set to Grow and Shrink, and table font is Rich Text also as mentioned in other posts. Still not working out.
I have a file that I need to import on a regular basis. There are two different issues with the import:
1. the first digit in the file indicates if it is a record I want to keep. In this case a 1 indicates a repair record and an 8 indicates it is just information such as email, contact info etc.
2. I have a field in the file that may change the import specifications
For example:
If the record is a Non wheel repair then column 167 is a 50 character description If the record is Wheel repair then column 167 is a 28 character description and the remaining 22 characters are broken down into 10 different fields
So I need to do the following
1. Read the first character in the line and determine if it is a number 1 and if not discard it 2. Read a field in column 109 that is two characters long and if it says it is a wheel repair the import will break column 167 -216 down to the appropriate 11 fields and if it is a non wheel repair it will import columns 167 - 216 as one big description field.
I have used the import specifications with Access but it seems this will have to be done in code in a module or something and I am not very good with VB. (only know the basics)
One other issue is I have dates in the file that are 130225 and 1302 (so full date and then Year/Month) if i take out the / date separator in the import spec the full date works but the Year/Month doesn't.
This is what I am using to count the occurances of the text "Official copy" form a combobox. however, it returns a value of zero. TRANSCRIPTS is the name of the table and Transcript type is the name of the combobx.
Hi! Don't know if you remember me, but I'm back again with a weird question.
A while ago, I built a database with a report in it that served as a schedule for my hospital. Names down the side, dates across the top, with counts in the data fields. Like if So and so works on 3/16/05, there would be a '1' in the field at the intersection of that date and her name. Now, because we have so many different shifts and the directors want everything in the grid fields, I'm trying to figure out a way to put in the actual shift symbol (7A, 7P, 12, D, E, N, etc.) in the grid for them so that if they have 7 nurses on the 7A shift and 3 paramedics on the 12 shift, and one unit secretary on the D shift, they will all show on the same schedule. Here's the data from the query I am using. It's a crosstab query and I'm not quite sure how to tweak it to get it right. Thanks for any help/advice you might be able to give me.
PARAMETERS [Forms]![frmDates]![Date] DateTime; TRANSFORM Count([Staffing Query for Department].Title) AS CountOfTitle SELECT [Staffing Query for Department].ERName, [Staffing Query for Department].Department, [Staffing Query for Department].Title, [Staffing Query for Department].Shift, Count([Staffing Query for Department].Department) AS [Total Of Department] FROM [Staffing Query for Department] GROUP BY [Staffing Query for Department].ERName, [Staffing Query for Department].Department, [Staffing Query for Department].Title, [Staffing Query for Department].Shift PIVOT "d" & DateDiff("d",[Forms]![frmDates]!Date,[Date Scheduled]) In ("d0","d1","d2","d3","d4","d5","d6","d7","d8","d9","d10","d11","d12","d13","d14","d15","d16","d17","d18","d19","d20","d21","d22","d23","d24","d25","d26","d27");
I am going to try an Iif statement and see if it helps. Thank you!
So...I have a table with 2 fields: Name and Times Accessed
I have three names in the table: Shane, Bill, Chris There are multiple entries for each name with no primary key set.
The Times accessed are as follows:
Shane 2 Bill 2 Chris 1 Bill 3 Shane 5
This is what I want to do if possible:
I will have multiple text boxes on the form that will display running totals for different people in a table.
So i have three text boxes on the form. 1 for each name. i want that textbox that corresponds to each name to keep the running total for Times accessed. So, for Shane it would be 7, bill would be 5, and chris would be 1.
I have a query that has clients sorted in the row area and a column from my table that is set up as text but only has yes/no options for the data. I have a pivot table that counts the yes's and counts the no's and finds a grand total; however, I want to be able to find the percentage of pass's given the grand total. I'm able to do this in Excel and was wondering if it was possible in Access.
I have a memo field that feeds to a textbox control on one of my forms. I would like to re-format the textbox using the .Height value based on how many lines appear in it (i.e. it will fit only 3 lines if there are 3, but 5 lines if there are 5, etc.).
Is there any way to count the number of lines that appear in the textbox?
I am working with 4 tables and I am trying to get a count of the email address field in each table grouped by Email Group Name. I tried the dcount function but returned an error because some of the email addresses have an apostrophe in the field. Is there a way to do this in 1 query? This is an example of the result I would like:
I am trying to improve a work process using an existing Access DB.We have a form with multiple texts boxes on it. I need to search through these boxes to determine the total number of occurrences of a specific value. This is not tied to a table.
The text boxes I'd be searching through all have related names: "Element0" to "Element40". And I'd most likely be looking for a "/" within the value in the boxes (value could be 12345/01, for example).Would then be using the result in VBA to apply some conditions, so I would prefer if I could do the count in VBA (the count/sum is the part that is hanging me up.)
I've found multiple ways to accomplish this from a table, but nothing for what I have to work with.I am unclear in my description of what I am trying to do, let me know and I will try to provide more information.
create/find code that will count the number of text files in a directory with one level of folders please see below:
Directory path is : B:
First and only level of sub folders:
there are 100 of these and they all end in ".fof"These .fof folders will always contain .txt files.I've tried using the following code, but it always returns No files found.
Code:
Dim lngFileCount As Long Dim StrFileName As String StrFileName = Dir$("B:*.txt") Do While Len(StrFileName) <> 0
In this table it has a bookingID, CustomerID and some other none relevant details.
The CustomerID comes from table tblCustomer. i.e a customerID must exist in the customer table to be allowed in the bookings table tblBookings
A customer can exist in tblCustomer without existing in the booking table.
I am trying to write a query that will list each and every customer ID in the tblCustomer and count the number of bookings that that customer has (even if it is zero).
I have a query that will count the bookings if they exist in the booking table and display the number of times that a customer appears in the bookings table.
SELECT tblBookings.CustomerID, Count(tblBookings.CustomerID) AS NoOfBookings FROM tblBookings GROUP BY tblBookings.CustomerID;
How do I create a query that will do this but list all customers even if they don't exist in the bookings table (but obviously occur in the customers table)
I am trying to create a similar query where all bookings per hotel are listed even if no bookings are made for that hotel. I am guessing the answer is the same as above.
The Ritz. Bookings 0 The Hilton. Bookings 3 The Carlton. Bookings 0 The Lowry. Bookings 2
The journal ID above was an accounting entry, debit $16,797 and credit $-16,797. because it was entered as a reversing journal in the system, the table has captured the Journal ID with 2 dates. For my purpose i only want the one date (MIN) date, the total amount of the journal (either the debit or credit amount 16,797) and the total number of lines the journal ID has so in this instance I want the count to be 2 and not 4.
Im thinking with the total sum because theres debits and credits is there a way to do the absolute value of the journal MONY_A then divide by 2?
