I have the following query.
SELECT Table.*, Table.Date
FROM Table
WHERE (((Table.Date) Between [start date] And [end date]));
Is there anyway I can format the box that prompts you for the start and end dates? I would like the format to be, mm/dd/yyyy ? Any help?
Hiya everyone,
I'm try to do a database for items with part numbers.
& I want to be able to set the field to only accept data which has two letters at the begining, but any other characters after that (no fixed size).
ie.
part num1: pn047589sdf8m3
part num2: pn6583
part num3: pnfdgmj5973m
part num4: pn-fdgmj-5973m
Is this possible to do?
Cos all I can do at the moment, is to put a fixed number of characters.
ie. is the field size is 30characters
then I'd have to do this:
>LLCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
but this isn't good.
I just need something like:
>LL*
* mean any character for as many characters in length.

I guess this is pretty fundamental but I cant get it right! I want to search for a member by post code so I need to have validation for my table field post code so that when my parameter query accepts the post code input records will be returned covering all input types e.g. Users can put in CF72 (space)9AD or CF729AD and still get the same records or alternately how do I make users enter Post Codes with the correct UK spacing i.e 4 characters a space then the remaining characters?

I am creating a database where the serialID can be a number of different 'formats'. TBH, I don't know if this can even be done in the first place, but on the off chance that it can....:p
Firstly, i'm not sure whether to use Input Mask or Format...
But the serial may be '1234567AB', '12345678AB' or '12AB1234AB'.
Or to put another way
'7 numbers 2 letters',
'8 numbers 2 letters'
or '2 numbers, 2 letters, 4 numbers, 2 letters'
I have tried creating a mask such as '00LL0000LL' (can't remember exactly, had some '9's in there too some where...) but just keep hitting a brick wall, whereby it not satisfying all of the types.
Any help much appreciated, Ben
I have a query which is pulling its data from a form, which in turn is pulling data from a table. When I select 0.82 on my form, my query runs fine. But when I select 0.826856 from my form the query does not return any result.
0.826856 is available in the table and the pull down list in the form. The data format for all my table, form and query is General and decimal places is set to 8.
Could you plz tell me why I am not able to run the query using 0.826856 ????
Hi All,
My Querie:
I have a relational database, that is basically made up of a few tables, I will
simplify for this to two.
TblFieldNames and TblFieldValues
Basically using a form you can fill in a field (TblFieldNames.FieldName) and it
is then appended to TblFieldValues.FieldValue.
On the form the properties of the input text box are changed according to the
record selected in TblFieldNames.
Ie. ListBox with FieldNames from TableFieldNames
ListBox_AfterUpdate sets properties of
TxtValue
The Issue:
I have a Field in TblFieldNames that has a setting of Currency.
(TblFieldNames.FieldType = "Currency")
I have changed the TxtValue.Format = "Currency"
It doesn't:
A. Allow entry as a currency, ie. $ sign and thousand seperators
B. Append the details to the TblFieldValues Table, which it is going across to
into a field that is set as Text (this can't change)
I have tried:
Changing format of input Txt box
Changing Input Mask for inptu Txt Box
"$###,###,###" but doesn't work for me....
"/$###,###,###"
"/$###,###,###!"
I want it to allow me to enter in the Value as a Currency and append the value as a currency
ie.
Key Press = 12345
Field Shows = $12,345
Appends this value as Text?
Key Press = 1234567890
Field Shows = $1,234,567,890
Etc
Any ideas?
Hi, I would like to create a Custom input mask in access 2000 with the format dd/mm/yy can someone please help me?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have the following input mask for a certain field in an ACCESS 2010 table : 00-000-a-a-a;0;-
It works fine. That is when I tab down to it and if I know that the format is : xx-xxx-x-x-x
but if someone does not know the format , things can be out of position.how do I code the field such that the format (xx-xxx-x-x-x) is displayed in the input field awaiting the actual keying of the data?
I have problem loading data from an excel file in to a table. I usually import the excel file in to a table via VBA script (because there are some changes I need to do before importing).It was working fine until this week when the data in a cell for a particular column in the excel file changed from being 3 letters to 4 letters. The column in the table is defined as text.
The data in this column usually looks like 001, 002, 003 etc but one of the cells in the excel file has data as P001.So now I get an error Runtime Error 3349 even though I have defined the column as text. When I change the data P001 to 004 similar to the other data, it works just fine. Is there a format or Input Mask I can set so that the data are correctly loaded in to the table?Or am I missing something?
How do I apply this - can't seem to get it right - just want to control user into putting whatever and two deciimals for pence.
99.99 input mask is halfway there - except I don't want to limit the pounds amount. putting 99999.99 makes entering 12.31 etc a little awkward.
Cheers
Is there a Input Mask or Rule Validation that would automatically or require user to input data into Access field in a proper case format? Such as my text would be "My Text" when viewing the actual table? If so how would you do it when in Design View of Table.

Last question.. honest.. maybe ;)
I have a query that prompts the user to display certain/all of the members in my member table. The problem is, using a parameter query in the memberID field only allows the user to send the message to one member, not multiple members. "1 or 2 or 3" or "1,3" obviously don't work.
I've tried creating a form with a list box to select the members (which I;ve done) but obviously you need code and stuff to get it to work which I think will be too complicated. Is there a simpiler way or is the form the only thing that will work?
Thanks
Kris
I seem to have run into a snag. I'm pretty sure this would work otherwise:
DLookup(iif(Left( [GenericFieldname1], 4) = "C101","Offered","NOT OFFERED"),"Generic Query")
When I added this field/function to the query, I got #error values and when I clicked on one, I got an error that said:
The expression you entered as a query parameter produced this error:The object doesn't contain the automation object 'Please Enter Year'.'
I assume the problem is that I have the user filter the report by use of the Like() function for [Year] in the query when the report is accessed. How do I tell the DLookup function to search the column as filtered by the Like() function?

I have a database with the following information:
FTA # Date Attended Last name First name assigned person......
Each week I need to generate a report that shows the people that attended for that week, grouped by the assigned person. I only want to show the data for a specific "date attended" (i.e. that days date). I figured I first need to generate a query that only returns the data for that specific date in the "date attended" column. I did that but it is manuel by using the criteria field.
Is there an easy way to type in the date that I want the query to use as the criteria?
Thanks

FROM L160
GROUP BY L160.Date

How can I have a user enter the WHERE criteria in the Set Rs statement below.
Set Rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT [Net] FROM [tblRecap] WHERE [Yr] = 2000 and [Event] = 'lancaster'")
I would like a message box to ask the user to define the [Yr] = and [Event] = fields since they would change from time to time and then pass the values to the OpenRecordset method. Is this possible? Can someone help supply the code?
A parameter query won’t work because when you manipulate these queries in DAO through VBA you need to supply the parameter value before you open the recordset object. If you don’t DAO generates an error.
Here is my code:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private Sub ReportFooter_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
Dim ConsqWin As Long
Dim ConsqLoss As Long
Dim tmpWin As Long
Dim tmpLoss As Long
Dim Rs As DAO.Recordset
Set Rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("SELECT [Net] FROM [tblRecap] WHERE [Yr = 2000 and [Event] = 'lancaster'")
Do While Not Rs.EOF
Do While Rs!Net > 1
tmpWin = tmpWin + 1
Rs.MoveNext
If Rs.EOF Then Exit Do
Loop
If Rs.EOF Then Exit Do
If tmpWin > ConsqWin Then ConsqWin = tmpWin
tmpWin = 0
Rs.MoveNext
Loop
Set Rs = Nothing
End Sub
By the way the YR field is a number and not a date so the WHERE clause doesn’t need #2000#
Any help would be appreciated.

The qry_PP_Errors_Union is a Union query. In this query there is a date field. I would like to be able to to use that date field as a parameter. So I have written this VBA to prompt the user for a Begin Date and an End Date.
Code:
Beep
strBegindatemsg = "Enter the beginning date." & vbCrLf & vbLf
strBegindate = InputBox(Prompt:=strBegindatemsg, Title:="Begin Date")
Beep
strEnddatemsg = "Enter the beginning date." & vbCrLf & vbLf
strEnddate = InputBox(Prompt:=strEnddatemsg, Title:="End Date")
Now the part that I am missing is that I am not sure how to make the "strBegindate" and "strEnddate" the criteria for the union query.
The following is the SQL for my union query.
Code:
SELECT LastName, FirstName, Title, TeamName, WorkOrderNumber, DateCompleted, WorkCode, UICError AS Error, "Update and Internal Correspondence" AS Category FROM qry_PP_UIC_Error
UNION
SELECT LastName, FirstName, Title, TeamName, WorkOrderNumber, DateCompleted, WorkCode, BIDError, "Bids" FROM qry_PP_Bid_Error
[Code] ....
Without the criteria, my code works for dumping everything out into Excel. However, dumping all the data results in a 7 mb Excel file that requires manual deletion of the information that is not pertinent.
I have two tables linked by ID (Table1,Table2)
The Table1 holds data that is a request for a task.
ID, Request, Task_tms (the number of times the task is required to be done)
1, Make a cup of coffee,15
Table2 is my allocation of people to the tasks.
ID, Person, Task_done (the number of times this person has done the task)
1,Sally,10
1,Eddie,5
What I want to do is to limit the amounts of allocation in some way (ie in this case if I have already put 10 for Sally then I would be unable to put anymore than 5 when entering the amount for Eddie.
Additionally if I were to allocate all 15 to Sally then no additional people would be able to be allocated to this task (ID 1)
The two table are in datasheet format linked on a form.
I use expression on the query field, but after I run it, the field change its format from number to text, how to reformat on the query criteria to change the text to integer format?

I have a query that uses the input from a form as criteria, which is then used in a report. The form input is a drop down based on another table. This is a sales pipeline report, and the list is a list of sales people. The report works perfect for all sales people except one. When I run it for the one, I get the following error:
"This expression is is typed incorrectly, or it is too complex to be evaluated. For example, a numeric expression may contain too many complicated elements. Try simplifying the expression by assigning parts of the expression to variables".
I DO NOT get the same error when running the query by itself - so assuming there is something in the report causing this. I do have some sum formulas in the report.
Again, no other salespersons selected cause this error -- so I am assuming there is something in the dataset for this person that is causing the error.
