Create Field With Fixed Format

Jul 18, 2005

I need to show two decimal places on a form based on a recordset of a table that has a field - type = double, format = fixed, and decimal number = 2

I need to show 101.00 and 102.00 so if user insert a record, record would have a sequence id of 101.05.

How do I create that field by code? The table is part of a system loop that it changes everytime thats why I have to recreate the table again and again.

I can do the double, I cant do the fixed and decimal number.

Please please help.

Thanks.

NEVER MIND, I FIGURED IT OUT.

Instead of including it with the code, I tweaked how the form displays it.

Thanks.

PivotChart Decimal Place On Fixed Number Format On Averaged Field

May 18, 2006

I have a pivotchart which I cause to take a huge list of people's test percentiles and calculate the average for each year. I then display the average above each bar. The problem is that there are too many numbers after the decimal place for each figure. I went into the properties and changed the number format to "fixed" but it doesn't give me the option to change the number of decimal places that are used (it does every where else in MS Office!). It seems that it just uses the regional settings for the computer. But the problem I have in changing that is that I have other pivotcharts in the same report that does something similar but needs a different number of decimal places. Is there any way around this without having to create another query to calculate the average and then having the pivotchart display the info from the new query (this is a huge database that I put together with many charts and I don't want to have to redo the way that it works just because of this decimal place issue)?

Fixed Character Length Of Field

Sep 29, 2011

I have a column in my table, and its size is set to 10 characters. In a form, i have a combobox based on that column, which contains the values "Corrective", "Preventive", and "Supplier". both Corrective and Preventive are 10 characters, and fill up the field to its max, however, Supplier is only 8 characters. When I look back in the table data, there are two spaces after Supplier. Basically, I can use the arrow keys to "see" the two blank character spaces. Why is that? Are these extra blank spaces taking up space they shouldn't?

Forms :: Assign Field With Special Format Based On Date / Time Format

Feb 17, 2014

I wanted to assign the field "Number of magazine" with special format based on date/time format but showing only year and month in the format: "yyyy-mm".

So in property of this field in format I put yyyy-mm and in input mask I type 0000-00;;-

I also created the form based on the table containing above field and I defined format and input mask for corresponding formant in the same way like at the table.

But if I try to type date for example 2014-01 in text box of the form it comes up with the full date 2014-01-01. Why does it do like this? What do I do incorrectly?

Fixed Parameter Value In SQL Statement

Sep 11, 2015

In Access, can I hard code a parameter value to suppress the prompt? I'm querying a query that's made up of sub queries, which all require the same parameter.

I'd like to define the parameter value in my SQL statement so there is no prompt. Can this be done directly in my Access query?

Again, the parameter isn't any part of my main query, it's part of the sub-queries that make up the master query if that makes any sense.

Importing Fixed With Text Files

Jun 7, 2005

Dear All,

I need some help. I am writing a database for my new and small company. I receive internet orders from my ISP in an email. I want to find a simple way of automatically importing these emails into my "Customer Information" table.

The issue is that I have no control on the format of the email I receive from my ISP. The data is fixed width and stores the information horizontally rather than in columns. For example:

Quantity : 1
Price : GBP 199.00
Delivery : GBP 5.00
Total : GBP 204.00

I have been exploring the GetData option and using the advance settings to align fields. It seems (and I am not an expert user of Access) that the GetData function relies on the import source to be aligned in vertical columns rather than horizontally. This makes mapping the fields almost impossible.

Does anyone have a clever work-around? Either in Access or manipulating the data before it goes into the database?

Many thanks, Matthew (matthew@byatt.com)

Fixed Number Of Records In A Query

Apr 4, 2007

Hey all, i just would like to know if there is a way to have a fixed number of records in a query.
Let's say, example (a), a query returns 2 records (qry1); i would like to have my query (qry2) to have 5 records, so the first two records will appear and then 3 blank records. (b) A query (qry1) returns 4 records, then this query(qry2) should return the 4 records plus a blank record

.........qry1.......qry2
a)|>record1....|>record1
...|>record2....|>record2
...|*______....|>______
....................|>______
....................|>______
....................|*______

.........qry1.......qry2
b)|>record1....|>record1
...|>record2....|>record2
...|>record3....|>record3
...|>record4....|>record4
...|*______....|>______
....................|*______

Why do i want to do this?
Because i want my report to show 5 records so when i print it i have those blank spaces to fill if necessary.

I want to have this:
______
lrecord1l
lrecord2l
l______l
l______l
l______l

Instead of:
______
lrecord1l
lrecord2l

What im doing now is creating a temporary table and add the records to it plus blank records.
What i used to do was add blank records in the same table meting the criteria of the report, so they will appear. After close the report, those records would be deleted.

I would like to know if theres another way, like a command in sql, or maybe some property on the report. What ever is most efficient and a good database practice. Thanks in advance

Export Fixed-width With Line Feed Only

Nov 9, 2006

Hey guys,

I searched the forums and couldnt find anything that directly related to my issue. What I am trying to do is export a fixed-width text file, but the issue is that the file has to be line feed only. By default Acces creates CR/LF and the client's import specification only allows for Line feed.

I am currently using a macro, with export specification, to create the file. Due to time constraints and other obligations, I am really trying to avoid VBA programming.

Thanks in advance,
Jahaines

General :: Generate Numbers With Fixed Interval

Sep 9, 2014

I have a range say 12.03 to 13.11.

I need to generate all numbers falling within this range with 0.01 increment.

(This increment is based on the numbers; if the numbers have 2 decimals, it should be 0.01. If the numbers have 3 decimals, the increment should be 0.001. Both the numbers will have the same number of decimals)

The answer is: 12.03, 12.04, 12.05, etc. etc. till 13.10, 13.11.

Is there a way we can do it in MS Access ?

Forms :: Making A Control Have A Fixed Position?

Sep 26, 2013

Is it possible to make a control have a fixed position so that when the form is vertically scrolled the object stays in the same position?

I have a continuous form that shows records based on criteria that the user puts into an earlier form. There is a close button on the page but you cannot see the close button if you horizontally scroll too far along the page. You have to horizontally scroll because of the amount of fields that are on the form.

Reporting Time Fixed As A Daily Variable

Mar 18, 2012

The previous problem stands solved i.e. ReportTime field shows 9:50 always.But it has created another problem as under

The Formula for ReportTime : Format(Date(),"m/d/yyyy") & " 9:50:00 AM"

The formula for ReportedAt then becomes as ReportedAt: Format(Now(),"hh-nn ampm")

And the next step LateByMinuts:=IIf([StatusID]=1,DateDiff("n",[ReportTime],[ReportedAt]),0)

Where stutusID is

1. Present,
2. AbsentExcused.
3. LeavePrivelege etc.

is correct for the first time.That is when at the first time the Reported time (system time) is recorded it works fantastically but when next time the Form is opened the saved "LateBYMinuts" field is changed with the system date thus disparaging the previous save data.

Format Date Field

Feb 19, 2007

I saw a thread once that explained how to format a date or phone number field after you've entered the data, but I can't find it again.You do it so that you don't have the __/__/__ or the ___-___-____ pop up in the field and don't have to worry about inadvertently starting typing the data in the middle of the field instead of the beginning.Anybody know where that thread is at, or know how to do that?
