Creating 4 Fields From 1 In ACCESS
Nov 4, 2004
I am working with some chemical compounds in a database I am building. I grabbed an html file off the web on a listing of chemical compounds...converted it to ascii and imported it into ACCESS. Rather than write a Perl routine I was wondering if anyone out there had some sql code that might handle it. The first 3 records look like this and are contained in one field. I am trying to break this guy into 4 fields.
0001 Acetaldehyde 75-07-0 AB1925000
0002 Acetic acid 64-19-7 AF1225000
003 Acetic annhydride 108-24-7 AK1925000
The fields would be named in order as:
GUIDE 002
CHEMICAL_NAME Acetic acid
CAS_NO 64-19-7
RTECS_NO AF1225000
The first two fields are left justified but the number fields are rather zigzagged throughout.
Anyone have a cure for this beast?
I thank you in advance.
the raven man.

I created a form in Access that retrieves data from a table. Inside the form, I am able to access/populate data fields with data from the table. I also have data fields, inside the form, that requires key-in data. I have some how lost the ability send all data field information to a second table and clear existing data fields for new entry.
Questions: What settings, code or buttons can I use to send/store data field information to a new table? What settings, code or buttons can I use to automatically clear all data fields from my form once data has been sent to the new table?

I'm working on a database that has to be done in Access and in coming up with a unique ID for each worker I want to take the first letter of the first and last name and the last 4 digits of their social to create the UID for the table. So for FIRST_NAME:Homer LAST_NAME:Simpson with SOCIAL:123-45-6789 his UID would be HS6789. Is there a function within Access that would allow me to do that, or is that something that's just too advanced?

Is it possible (and logical) for me to create a table with a calculated field from 2 other fields in the same table? Example; I have a long time field (mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss) aka StartTime, and a long time field EndTime. I would like to subtract the StartTime field from the EndTime field to get the total time elapsed, but in hh:mm:ss format. I can get it in hh:mm format, but I really need the hh:mm:ss format. Any Ideas?

I am not sure that I am in the Correct Section for this question but I am sure I can be forgiven for that :
I am attempting to build a db for a friend who has all his data in one table. During normalisation I have seperated the various threads of data into various tables of usable information. My problem is that I need to seperate his clients fullname into First & Surname i.e. Fullname: Mick Burke to FirstName: Mick and Surname: Burke - in other words make two fields from one.
Any help in doing this would be well appreciated.

I need to create a bunch of new records that will contain some existing data and some blank fields.... what I want it to look like:
ACCOUNT | NUMBER | PERIOD | AMOUNT
4G334223 123-224-2212 1/1/2006
4G334223 123-233-2334 1/1/2006
What I want is the query to pull the account and number from the db, then add the date in automatically (not the current date, just a specified criteria to signify jan 06, feb 06,etc) and leave the amount field blank (which I will then add in the corresponding values manually).

Hi there,
I'm making a document control database where the a unique reference number is automatically generated from 2 tables and updates a 3rd table.
xxxx or yyyy/lookup in 2 table/autonumber
I have been trying to do this is a form but because the control sauce is a calculation 'Text1&Text2&Text3' I am unable to update the 3rd table with the combined reference number.
I have limited knowledge particularly of VBA coding
Any help much appreciated

Hi All!
I am trying to create an updateable non-calculated field in a select query. Specifically, I want to create a Yes/No data type called "Fail".
This is a multiple-user application so I can't solve the problem by using append and delete queries to modify records in a table.
This has turned into a much stickier problem than I anticipated. I would appreciate any insight or advice you have.

Hi
I have a single form for which I need to create 2 records from in the same table.
On the second record when created I need to change some of data contained in the fields - How do I do this:
I give an example. On my form I have a tick box - if true it enables 2 text boxes and will need to create 2 records within a single table.
I need the first record to include the data contained in the first text box and the second record to contain the data from the second text box.
I have tried to use update queries but have had no luck. Anybody have any ideas?
thanks

I have a table, which when i first set it up i decided that a couple of the fields had to be mandatory.
So, i set the "Required" property of the field to "Yes" (at table level - which is probably poor practice?)
I now have a form that allows a user at the front end to enter items in the table.
If they complete all the fields on the form i have used macro builder to save the record, present a nice message and move to a New Record. (3 elements in all)
However, if they try to save the record having not completed the "Required" fields then they get an error message instructing them the field is required, but then the macro crashes.
So what's the best way to approach Mandatory fields? Is it best to leave the "Required" property at table level set to No and then have something at form level which checks they have entered a value in the field? (i'm guessing this is probably the correct approach)
I tried removing the table level condition from the [Field] and adding this as the first argument of the macro builder which saves my record:
Code:
IF [Field] = "" Then
MessageBox "You Must Complete Mandatory Fields"
Stop Macro
End If
But my macro still completes and saves the record...

I'm creating a catalog that shows all the equipment we use in our company. The problem is that most of these equipment don't have the same properties, or fields. For example, all of them have a code, model, supplier and price.
However, most of them have different properties like size, orientation, or material.My first attempt was using one-to-one tables.
My database is formed by a main table (catalog), a type table (which lists all the types of equipments the table has, e.g. control valves, tanks, field instruments, etc), and smaller tables for each type of equipment (the table for control valves has the size and material field; the table for tanks has connections and orientation field; and the table for field instruments has the fields of dial size and connections).
All of these small tables are connected to the main table using a one-to-one relationship.My question here, any better way to store and access these type of data.

I can set up what he has done easily, but I want to be able to show the information much like the matrix he shows at the top of the page and also include in the query or form "sports" that no one has checked.

I am writing a small program for my sons school for there athletics day. We want to register all the students on a data basis. I have a form where you capture all the child's information and then tick box for each event that there will be for the day. So we will only tick the events that the specific child will participate in. I design the table to just import the information from each school from a excel spread sheet directly into the table. What my goal is to print report for each event that will only show the child's names that has register for that specific event and all the different age groups separate. I am stuck at the query and can't seem to get my mind around how to define the query.

way to merge various fields from a table into just one using a query.The purpose will be for easier copying and pasting in to an email.So we have a table to stores information such as Site Contact, Address 1, Address 2, Address 3, Postcode etc.
I want to be able to run a query that will put the address in to just one box, either in the query or on a report then it's much easier to just highlight the full address and copy and paste it into an email. Rather than copying each field individually.

I am trying to create an expression in a query to sum only the # of hours a student attended between two date fields. I do not want to use a parameter because each student has different start and midpoint dates and I need to see all of them in one list.These are the fields I'm using in the query:
Student Name
Start Date
Midpoint Date
Hours
It keeps giving me "0" or if I move the () around it says the correct syntax is [NOT]
Expr1: Sum([Hours]) between [Start Date] & [Midpoint]))

In the code below I am creating a record with the INSET INTO statement and then Updating with additional info in various fields. it is not working the way I thought it would, so I am trying to create the record in it's entirety.
Code:
SQL_Grade_GUSD_ID = "INSERT INTO Grades (GUSD_Student_ID) VALUES (" & Me.GUSD_Student_ID & ")"
SQLM1_1_ELA = "UPDATE Grades SET Grades.Subject = ""BM1(ELA)"""
SQLM1_2_ELA = "UPDATE Grades SET Grades.Type = ""Exam"""
SQLM1_3_ELA = "UPDATE Grades SET Grades.Score = ""0"""
SQLM1_4_ELA = "UPDATE Grades SET Grades.Nam = ""GUSD BM-1"""
DoCmd.RunSQL SQL
[Code] ...
I am running to syntax problems when I try to USE the INSERT INTO to create the record with all the info in one statement.
Code:
SQLM1_1_ELA = "INSERT INTO Grades ( GUSD_Student_ID, Subject, Type, Score, Nam ) " & _
"SELECT (" & Me.GUSD_Student_ID & ")"" AS GUSD_Student_ID, ""BM2(ELA)"" AS Subject, " & _
"""Exam"" AS Type, ""0"" AS Score, ""GUSD BM-1"" AS Nam " & _
"FROM Grades"
I am Getting this error:

I'm working on a form with almost a hundred various fields (it's what my employer needs). He wants to be able to create new records with much of the same information as the old ones by clicking on a button that will copy the information to a new record, then clear certain specific fields (or some process that will safely create the same result). I don't need specifics on how to write the same line of code for each and every field I wish to clear.
Say I have a form with 5 fields: part_number, part_owner, procedure, file_name, and date.
How could I copy the record to keep the fields part_owner and procedure the same, but clear part_number, file_name, and date?
All of the fields are from the same table (no, it's not normalized...).

I have a form which I am using child/master fields to create a filter (see attached pic)
For the date ranges I need these to be
>= Start Date and <= Actual Finish Date
How can I set the criteria for these two fields, so that when someone picks a date it knows it's from or before the date entered.

Hello everyone!
I heard from a number of people that this is the place to come for Microsoft Access related help.
So here is my question and I hope someone can help me understand access a little bit better.
I am trying to create a database for a job I am doing. THere are 700+ convenience stores that we (4 inspectors) inspect every three months.
We have been told to do an ADA compliance survey when we visit these stores.
The ADA checklist that we have is about 78 questions and my manager wants me to create an ADA database for this information.
So I am in need of help on how to create a database that allows me to input the answers of this ADA checklist for each store inspected.
I then would like to be able to pull all that information into a report that I could say of the 700+ stores, 50% passed all questions, 25% passed only questions 1-??, etc. etc.
I can upload the two files: The ADA checklist and our Store list if anyone would like to help me out!
Thanks Much!
