Double Return Into A Memo Field
Nov 13, 2007
Is there any way in which I can automate a query (or update table query) to find the next date stamp that always starts with 'DATE', and put a double return in before it (so it starts on a new line with a spare line between). This is a table with 2 fields in it, the first being a Customer Reference number, and the second being a memo field, and some of the details and dates are quite vast. As an example the following text that is currently being displayed in the memo field would be displayed as the section below.
From this:-
DATE: 13/11/2007 TIME: 2:24 PM:went to pay with CC DATE: 09/10/2006 TIME: 3:41 PM:Sent Invoice to Scott DATE: 10/10/2005 TIME: 10:22 AM:Email follow up to obtain feedback DATE: 25/10/1999 TIME: 11:18 AM:Received all documentation
To this:-
DATE: 13/11/2007 TIME: 2:24 PM:went to pay with CC
DATE: 09/10/2006 TIME: 3:41 PM:Sent Invoice to Scott
DATE: 10/10/2005 TIME: 10:22 AM:Email follow up to obtain feedback
DATE: 25/10/1999 TIME: 11:18 AM:Received all documentation

This is probably failry simple if you know what you're doing, but I don't know what I'm doing....
I have a form (Purchase Orders) and on that form there is a search button to allow the user to search the customers table by customer name. When the user clicks the search button a search form opens and the search results (customer number, first name, last name) populate a list box named "lstCustInfo". How can I set the list box double click event to return the customer number, first name and last name to the Purchase Orders form? To make it even more complex I would like to return the data in two fields: customer number and LastName, FirstName. The problem with returning the results in two fields though is that I need to be able to break it into three to save it in the customers table because the table has a place for Customer Number, First Name and Last name.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there a better way to do this than returning 2 fields and having to break it back into 3 to store?

I have 3 peices of data that I am working with: Group number, plans and benefit elections. On my form I have fields for the group number and plan and 2 queries. When I enter a group number the first query displays a list of plan descriptions for that group. From there I can enter the plan description into the form's plan field and that runs the second query to give me a list of valid elections for that plan. This all works fine but I want to make the plan selection a little less tedious. What I would like is to be able to double click the query field housing the plan description and have it copied to the form's plan field. I could use the ID instead of the plan description but I work in a production environment and very key stroke counts so I would really like to have a simple double click process.
Is this even possible? If so how would I set that up? I tried using the double click on event macro builder but it does not seem to have this kind of option.
My form contains fields for group number and Plan. The same form houses 2 querys, one that pulls plans based on the group number and the other to pull elections based on the plan field (not the plan query). Would like to double click a plan within the plan query and have that description populated into the form's plan field.

Apologies, this was posted as a reply to a previous thread I submitted but its not related to the title anymore (dlookups).
I have a query that looks up a payrate value for an employee in a payrate table. It uses the appropriate value to determine the pay rate at teh time an employee has worked (DateWorked). On top of this I also need to introduce a parameter criteria on the DateWorked to allow the user to run the report for a time frame. This is where I get stuck as I cant seem to get it to work properly if I introduce another criteria on the field
The query that works great (without the second criteria) is as follows;
SELECT tblTimeCard.EmployeeId, tblTimeCard.TimeCardId, tblTimeCardHours.Task, tblTimeCardHours.Hours, tblTimeCard.DateWorked, tblPayRates.DateFrom, tblPayRates.DateTo, tblPayRates.PayRate,
tblTimeCardHours.Hours*tblPayRates.PayRate AS Cost
FROM (tblTimeCard INNER JOIN tblTimeCardHours ON tblTimeCard.TimeCardId = tblTimeCardHours.TimeCardId) INNER JOIN tblPayRates ON tblTimeCard.EmployeeId = tblPayRates.EmployeeId
WHERE tblTimeCard.DateWorked Between [tblPayRates].[DateFrom] And [tblPayRates].[DateTo];
This is where I need to introduce another criteria where tbl.TimeCard.DateWorked Between [Enter Date From] And[Enter Date To]
when I try this I must have one of the joins wrong as I get all the payrate values for each date worked even if they are outside the dateworked criteria set by the second criteria.. I hope I have explianed this ok. Can someone please advise where I should be looking - many thanks

On an existing DB i have set a default value for a field. The customer has now asked that they be able to change this default. I thought, hey, no big problem. They have SuperUsers, so i included a little pop up form that lists all the current valid values for that field (from a look up table). If the default value needs to change a superuser can access this and select the new default. That works fine. The trouble comes when setting the default value on a form.
I figured a simple bit of VBA in the OnOpen event - Me.cmbTypes.Value = Me.cmbTypes.DefaultValue - should work. However the value it returns from the default is ""xxxx"" and as such it is read as "". I can work around it by removing the extra " " but WHY does it do this? Would it be better to set this up as a custom property of the DB?

For some reason I cannot enter decimal values without the number rounding up or down. I've already set it to 'Number' and 'double' and have also tried 'Fixed' set to 2 decimal places. Right now the only way it works is if I set it to 'Text'. However I need to do some calculations with these values eventually.
What's strange is I have another table in the same database that is NOT rounding and is working just fine.

I have a form that utilizes a combo box with 2 options: 0 & 0.5. If I select 0.5 on the combo box the field in the table records it as 2. Why doesn't it reflect as 0.5? And how do I fix it?
This is the general info that I have for the field properties:
Field Size - Double
Decimal Places - 1
Default Value - 0

I have recently upgraded my Access 2003 application to Access 2010. I am running into a problem when formatting a textbox to 'Long Time' that is linked to a Double type field. The error that I get is 'The value you entered isn't valid for this field. You may have entered text in a numeric field or a number that is larger than the FieldSize setting permits.'
The textbox is linked to a field (double data type) and displays as the time in long format (4:06:17 PM). When I try to change to 4:07:17 PM I get the error. I tried removing the 'PM' and the colons but the error still occurs. The only way that I can get it to work is if I use a double value (0.735405092592593). In Access 2003 the time value would display properly, allow me to change the time and then save the time as a double to the database.

I am in the process of changing over a text field to a memo field to generate more space (in 5 different databases :eek: ) Thanks to all the good info on several searches of this forum, I am pretty clear on how to do that.
The question is... when I convert a field that already has information in it, will I lose the current information?
TIA,
Darnys

when i change records, my subform that has a memo field, shows the memo field data is "highlighted". i can make a mistake and hit any keyboard key and the memo field data will get erased.
is there a way to prevent such a problem?
if not, is there a work around. eg, hide the memo field until needed for more input? ideas on both issues?

I know how to do an action on doubleclick or mouseover but I want some simple text to come up, possibly with a white background behind it that has some details about the specific production number that the user is clicking on. Is there something like this? I tried a dialog but it brings up an ugly form, I just want the text or something simple. Can this be done?

Hi guys and Girls
I have a txt box on a report which should show comments..
In the background table the field this txt box is bound to has a data type of memo. Yet the txt box on the report stops showing any more than 255 characters! any clues? I know 255 is the field size set for my Txt fields but memo fields should be able to display 65000000000000000 trillion characters with no problems.
When I look at the table the memo field has all the txt in it, it just wont display all the txt on the report.
Thanks for any help guys.

Are there any other advantages in using a text field verses a memo field other than memory allocation? Memory allocation seems like such a small issue these days.

Hello,
If I read the documentation then memo field in a Access table can be 65.000 chars long.
I have three memo fields in a linked ODBC table which is filled by a append query from SQL-server database. The text in these field is cut off by 255 chars.
Does somebody know what the cause of this can be?
1. Is there a limitation/property where I can configure the length of Access memo field? DAO? I have read something about this but I don't understand this.
2. How can I trace that everything is send from the source? Maybe it's cut off at the source site. On this moment I don't know something about a Linked tabel.
Is there a sniffer or trace tool so that I can see what kind of data is realy send?
Thanks in advance
Nico

Greetings All -
Let me say first I am a novice Access user, just trying to teach myself a few things to make my job easier. So take it easy on me with any feedback.
This is my situation. I am using a web based help desk ticketing software that has an Access DB. I have created a couple of queries and linked them together that seem to be working and giving me the data that I want with one exception.
I am tring to query a memo field, which is the description of a ticket, and the output is only a small portion of what is actually entered in to the table. Is there a way either in my query or report builder to make a change that will output all of the data from the description field?
A couple of things that I've tried on my own are to change the data type for that field from memo to text, however that that puts limits on the amount of data that can be entered in and causes the help desk software to function incorrectly. I've also turned on Can Grow and Can Shrink for the text box for the output in my form.
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Jason

Hi,
Ok, firstly i have search google and this forum from top to toe and no-1 has an answer that works for me.
I am running a query, now i have completely simplified it. The query is now just picking up a field called recommendations. Recommendations is a memo field with no formating or index on at all. Now, when i run the query as normal it works fine... everything is there. But when i have to group by it. It cuts it off at 255 charactors. The thing is i need to do some sums and counts within the query aswell so it has to be.
I have checked microsoft and there suggestions are not any use.
Any ideas???

I have a form with a memo field. This field is based on a table with a field set as a memo data type. The problem is that although the form field lets you type endlessly, it only saves 255 characters. A memo field is supposed to let you enter up to 64000 characters. Has anyone else ever had this problem, if so what was the solution?
