I have three fields in a database with phone numbers. They all appear to be set up the same. They all display the phone number format (xxx) xxx-xxxx when data is entered. One of them looks like a phone number in tables, forms and queries. The other two display as a 10 digit number.

I am trying to run some queries on a large customer file that has very poor data - particularly in the contact number fields.
If there are more than six "1"s, "9"s, or "0"s in the number, then we are planning to treat it as an invalid number and replace it with a null.
Any ideas about how to do this?

Hi
I am trying to work with a large table of customer data.
I know that there is a large number of invalid values.
I would like to run a make table query that would check the phone number against a table of known invalid numbers (e.g. 1234567, 11111111, 99999999, etc).
If the number exists on the invalid table, then I would like to replace it with a null value.
Regards
Noel
I set my phone number to be formatted like (920)123-4567
I copied data from an excel spread sheet - now the phone numbers are like 920-123-4567.
Is there a way that I can update the phone numbers to be the correct formatting (920) 123-4567?
I have an excel spreadsheet linked to a table n Access. I have phone numbers that I would like to transfer. I set a format in Excel that made it automatically change to the (###) ###-####, but when I look on the table in Access it shows up ###-#######.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI imported an Office 2010 excel file into Access 2010. All the headers match.
All the data transfered, but the phone numbers.
In Design View, the phone numbers are listed as numbers, not text.
Then I tried to copy the two columns from Excel and past into the two columns in the database. No go. It did create a new table called Paste Errors.
How do I move that into the Table that I first created?
I need to know how to get the phone numbers in their because I need to import several other excel files into this table.
I have a list of publishers for software titles in a table.
1=Adobe
2=Macromedia
and so on and so forth.
I have a form that pulls the publisher name and displays it, and it used to display correctly with the NAME but now all of a sudden it's displaying the publisher number "1" instead of "Adobe"
what's going on?
Hi.
I have inherited a diary system in access 2003 from our previous IT manager, it has a calendar which displays they days of the month and this works fine on most of the computers on the network. The problem I am having is that on a couple of the computers it does not display the numbers for the days but instead displays full stops!
Can anybody explain why and give a fix for this please? I'm guessing it may be something to do with OLE control options on that particular machine but haven't a clue where to start looking.
Cheers folks.

I have recently started learning to use Access and all is going very well except for the date. As can be seen from the images below I have set up my date function correctly in Control Panel and everywhere I use a date it is displayed correctly. In Access however numbers are added which I cannot figure where they are coming from and don't want them there. In the second image you can see what the various Format options look like. When long format is used in a Form or Report it displays those additional figure. I cannot get 2015 to display but get 15316 or similar instead.

View 5 Replies View RelatedWhat is the best way to setup a phone number field that will contain numbers from North America and Europe?
Is it just one field that is text and no input mask? :)
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Greetings... I am setting up a text box to accept a phone number with an input mask of 000-000-0000;0;_ but it isnt doing quite what I want it to do, I would like it to start at the begining when clicked to prevent the error of a user typing in the number a space too far to the right. (right now it places the cursor where ever the user clicks, which becomes a major pain when you want to just be able to click the field anywhere and type from left to right for sake of speed)
thanks for any solutions you might have to offer
Here is my setup:
In Acess 97 I have a single data base with 5 tables, Attorneys, Employers, Health Care Professionals and two others. All tables have exactly the same fields.
I am trying to create a “phone book” made up of all the records in the data base. The form for this phone book has only a few fields such as fname, lname, phone, address. It also has the autonumber field. The record source for the form is a Union Query. When I open the form it works well. I get lawyers, employers, doctors , etc. all in alphabetical order.
Here is my problem:
I have a command button labeled “View Record.” I want to be able to click on this and have it find the record in its original table and open the form for that table so the record can be modified (on exiting the record I have it requery so the phone book is updated).
I can only get this to work with one table at a time, that is, the table that is named in the event procedure code. So if I am in, say, an Attorney record and tblAttoney is named in the event procedure code, all works well. But if I am in, say, an Employer record I get a blank Attorney form opened.
How can I get it to trace the autonumber to the proper table and open the record . I assume that the autonumbers are unique ACROSS all five tables since they are in the same database.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a list of about 900 phone numbers, which have been formatted in excel to have a 0 at the beginning of the phone number. However when i export the data to access, so it can be viewed on a webpage this formatting is lost.
How best can i go about adding a zero at the beggining of all of the phone numbers in my list? Can it be done using sql or is there another function in access that can do this.
Thanks
Ok I have an excel spreadsheet with over 6000 phone numbers that I need to import into a table. I have set up my field with an input mask to display a phone number as (xxx) xxx-xxxx. I have also set up my excel spreadsheet to have the numbers set up like 1234567890 to make it easy to throw in and let the input mask take over. My question is: I have some numbers that have an extension and are set up as 1234567890 x 102. I can take out the "x" and have all of the numbers run together, but what is the input mask syntax to have it display as say "(xxx) xxx-xxxx ext.xxx"?
Thanks:o
I need to query a table for phone numbers that do not meet the following format: ###-###-####
Any idea on how I can do that??
Hope someone can help!
I'm having multiple problems with my database like things such as -
i'm currently working on the Query 2 - On the Phone database (ignore Query 1) and i want to search for multiple plot numbers preferably in one parameter prompt with a comma to seperate numbers. (this could be a multitude of numbers so i would like to be able to input as many as needed). Also when i do search on this query since the Criteria is a 'Between' Value i would expect everything between the 2 numbers input to show up - but a lot of numbers out of the range show up too - why is this? (The Numbers are like "69 to 136" and they will show up - but 1-69 and 136-170 would too
I would also like to implement the search results from Query 2 into the Form i currently have made but it just opens up a access table when the search is made?
i cannot link my database as it is too big for the server - But here are the Criteria for Query 2:
Plot No - (criteria = Between [Enter First Plot No:] And [Enter Last Plot No:])
Site - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Site:] & "*")
Product - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Product:] & "*"
The Query is the one im most concerned about , i can live without a form.
I have the following VBA code to search for a string
Code:
'Search by Phone
Private Sub CmdSearchPhones_Click()
Me.Refresh
strSQL = "SELECT Tbl_Contacts.ContactID, Tbl_Contacts.FName, Tbl_Contacts.LName, Tbl_Contacts.Address, Tbl_Contacts.City, Tbl_Contacts.State, Tbl_Contacts.Zip, Tbl_Contacts.HomePhone, Tbl_Contacts.WorkPhone,
[Code] .....
My issue is that this works 50/50, because phone numbers on the database are NOW being stored in this format (000) 000-0000 and previous DB phone numbers got stored as 0000000000. The above code finds previous DB phone numbers (even if we dont enter all 10 digits) without a problem but has issues with new phone numbers stored in the new format UNLESS I specify the search with (000) 000-0000 (but we want to be able to search without adding that and without typing all 10 digits - in case we forget part of the number we are looking for)
How can I tell my query to find both formats, with the (000) 000-0000 AND 0000000000 ....
Hi,
I have a list of 500 PDA users, spread over 7 offices.
I want to keep an eye on what happens with the devices and their SIM-cards. As they are often swapped between offices and SIM-cards get lost.
I am pretty sure that I don't have to re-invent the wheel.
Do you have any idea of a free/shareware tracking tool for PDA's and cell phones ?
Thanks in advance !
When attempting to select a letter in a form copied from the Northwind's Customer Phone List Form, I am now getting an error message that says "The object doesn't contain the Automation object "RecordsetClone'".
I never had that problem before.
Appears to be something in the Option Group that has gone awry, but I cannot access the Visual Basics behind the Macro.
Is there a way to suppress this message? It does not appear to be a problem in bringing up the sought after page.
:confused: :confused: Please help!!

Twilight Zone Phormat Problem
I have a mail merge from Access into Word that works great except for a baffling problem with phone number formatting. Instead of (987) 654-3210, on certain records the merge produces 9876543210. I cannot identify a pattern to explain it, but it is not random. Certain records consistently leave the format behind on the phone number, some on the fax number, and some on both. This problem is affecting about 1/3 of the contact records. I have the Input Mask on Phone and Fax in the table set to !(999") "000-0000;0;_. Is anyone familiar with this problem?

In Access 2002, I have a Phone Number field (Text) that is meant to store (obviously enough) phone numbers. However, when I enter 2009 as the last four digits (ex. (555)-555-2009) the number is changed to (555)-555-2010. This also occurs if I enter the number directly into the table (which doesn't have an input mask). I have tested it in a new form (even without input mask), and a new table, which both result in the exact same thing.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have the following expression as part of the recordsource for a report:
Is it possible to put a mask on the output of [phone1]? Ideally something like: (716) 555-5555 x1234
Code : phone1: [ContactNo1] & " " & [ContactNo1_ext]
I'm currently trying to make a simple phone book database that use queries to search through the records. I need to set the search parameters to pick up all records containing a value rather that just search for that specific value.
For instance if I type in "mic" and search I want all records containing mic to appear in results like mick and Michael.
Is there any way this can be done?
So far I have only tried the [please enter first name] method and this has been in successful.
