Hey,
I am creating a form and one of the fields are 'Area Code'. Input will be along the lines of 02 and 03, but whenever I do this it deletes the 0, just leaving a 2.
How do I make access leave the 0 in the field?
Thanks.
I am wanting to populate a field by entering a date in another field. I am trying to determine age(years, months, and weeks) of something by entering a date in another field. Is that possible in Access?

I have a form for entering Retirement Plan information (frmRRSP) that has tblRRSP as its recordsource. The RRSP Rate is a field with a Number datatype (in the table) and a Percent format on the form. When I enter a value on the form it originally displays the value I enter, until I press the Enter key, then it changes to "####" an enters a value of 0 in the table field.I tried entering a value directly in the table and it changes to 0 when I press Enter.I have an almost identical form and table for Vacation and it does the same thing.

I have it set up so that we can sort by project number, and it displays only the invoices that havent been assigned to a bill (we recover the expenses form our parent company). I dont want to have to enter the same bill number to each of the filtered records individually.
Thanks

Also, when I try top enter the next field (Phone) I get the message box for the other field even though I have nop message box function for that field.

I am creating a log in form, it checks the user name which is unique. if the user has entered a password, it shows only one password text box, they enter the password, if it is correct they enter the database, otherwise they return to the text box.
But if they have not entered a password before the form opens with two text boxes, one for the password and one to confirm the password is typed correct, if the are different a message box shows telling them that they are different, now is where i having problems, when they have typed the two passwords and they are correct i want them to save this password in the same record "Password" as the selected "username" record, I can find the "username" record by doing a Dlookup, easy, but i am stuck how to then save the password from the text box where the selected username record is.
My table "staff" has fields of "IDStaff", "FirstName", "Surname", "Password", "Username".
I am trying to figure out to have the current date populate in table field by using a button on a form and not having much luck.
I have a table with 2 date fields, a 'created' field and a 'received' field. I already have the date set to auto populate for the 'created' field but I don't want the 'received' field to populate until the employee has gone into the database to receive the work.
I know I could have the employee just enter the date, but i want to avoid any typos or people simply forgetting to do it.
Ideally I would love the button to enter the current date into the 'received' field and save the entry, but I fine it needs to be 2 seperate buttons.
I have a simple table with two fields in that table called:
1. BankName
2. BankNumber
Each bank has a bank number. For example Bank XYZ and all of its branches have the same Bank Number 123. There are 5 banks I have listed in a combo list under the BankName field. I can also type in a different bank in that same field if it is not listed in the combobox list.
Now, I want the BankNumber to automatically populate based on what I choose under BankName. If the BankName is manually entered (for banks that are not in the combobox), or if the BankName field is blank, I want the BankNumber field to be able to enter a number manually.
For example, if I go to the BankName field and under the combobox I select Bank XYZ, i want the BankNumber field to automatically populate as 123. If the BankName has a bank name that was manually entered, i want BankNumber field to allow me to manually enter a number.
Thanks for ur help. I couldn't figure this simple request out.
In trying to respond to another thread, I have run into something that is confounding me (or maybe I'm just getting dense).
We have a subform. One field has an event on DblClick to launch a search form. When the user identifies the target, he/she clicks a button on the subform. This pushes the appropriate value into a field on the original subform using VBA code and closes the search form. This all works fine.
The behaviour that is driving me bugging is when the user clicks on a new record (i.e. new line) on the subform, we would like to automatically generate the next record (E.g. when you type in a field of a record with autonumber in datasheet mode, Access automatically generates the next record). Currently this doesn't happen - Access generates the PK for the record being modified, but doesn't generate the view of the next record.
What really confuses me is that I have created similar looking example in which this works just fine. I can't figure out which of the differences between the two samples is causing this behaving.
Also, typing information into the field on the subform does cause the next record to be generated. It is just doing this via code that works in one case but not another.
I have narrowed it down to the actual subform. Even as a standalone form the form exhibits the same behaviour.
For reference, the original thread is

Any suggestions?

I get this strange behavior in multiple forms I have. When I click on a field for the first time, I get a quick popup that immediatly disappear. It only get the popup when I enter fields I added for search purpose (a listbox which has a query as source, which I build with the value from another input field that the user type in).
I get the error when :
-I enter the input field for the first time
-I type in a value for the first time
-I select an element in the listbox
-Also when I open a form for the first time (happens only for the first opened form)
I don't even have time to see what it is in fact. I had to time a screenshot to see what it was.
So, I get an error like this : "Search referenced file : MSOUTL.OLB". No text in the msgbox, only that title.
[URL] .....
I checked google, found various reference to Outlook stuff. Problem is, I don't use any outlook stuff. I don't get any of those popup when I open the projet under Access 2013, but under Access 2010 I get them. I created the project under Access 2013, but users will use Access 2010.
Hi,

i would appreciate any help
Many Thanks.
I have a "Currency" field in a table and it holds large numbers (on which I will need to do basic arithmetic operations at some point, so I must store them as a numbers). I have set the "Standard" format on the TextBox used to display it on a form because I want to have thousand separators; I've also set "0" for decimals as I don't need to display them.
So everything displays as I want it even with the largest number that can be stored all the decimals are showing in the text field, but when I click on the field to edit the value instead of having the complete value it is displayed as scientific notation. I would like to display the complete value when editing it instead of the scientific notation, how can I achieve this, if it is possible?
A numeric example: If a user enters 1234567891012, the value displayed is indeed 1234567891012 but if they click on the field again the displayed value while editing is 1.23456789012E+11 (and it switches back to normal notation when the focus changes to another field). I would like to show 123456789012 all the time. I know that Access is capable of it most likely because if I set the Format to "Fixed" the values are always displayed completely (no scientific notation), but unfortunately I would like the thousands separators to show and it is not possible with the "Fixed" format.
Two last details, the scientific notation while editing does not kick in unless there is more than 11 digits in the number and the field width (and/or TextBox width) are sufficient to display up to 20 digits.
Hi,
I'm new to this. I'm trying to enter data (it's actually Latitude and Longitude co-ordinates) from an existing Excel source into an Access database which has input masks of 00°00'00.00"L;0;0 (Latitude) and 000°00'00.00"L;0;0 (Longitude) in the respective fields. However I cannot get the information to import or display correctly. I did an "export data" of the respective table (hence fields) to Excel to try and get the correct entry format. An example of the Lat exported was 24°49'41.81"N and Long was 067°01'44.02"E (but with a very small ' in front but only visible in the data entry line in Excel, not in the actual spreadsheet table???)
However when I try to enter the data (even using the exact same little degree symbol, apostrophe, and quotation marks) it does not enter the access fields correctly. On closer scrutiny of the exported Excel format I note a small ' at the very beginning of the 24°49'41.81"N or 067°01'44.02"E string. But as I said previously only visible in the data entry line next to the formula button. Not on the spreadsheet cell.
However even when I "Paste Special" "values only" my new co-ordinates into the same entry location as one exported, it will still not import, or display correctly. If I go into the Access database directly there is a form where if I need to enter the new co-ordinates (using lat example above) I only have to enter 24 49 41 81 N (spaces between) and it will show correctly as 24°49'41.81"N
I'm getting desparate as I don't want to have to change all the details manually. Anyone know what my correct format from an Excel spreadsheet should be?
Apologies for lengthy story! Difficult to describe problem with degree symbols etc

Hi There,
I have built a very basic DB and am running it alongside our existing Excel system of recording customer data.
I have transferred a lot of data from the Excel spreadsheet to the DB Table using Cut & Paste. For all future incoming data is there any way I can just enter it onto the Excel spreadsheet and it is automatically transferred to the DB table or am i consigned to entering two lots of the same data?
Best Regards

I need to create a query so that I can run a report that will show records entered between certain dates. For instance lets say
tblTMS has fields IDNo, DateReceived, Name, Address
tblWeeks has fields StartDate, EndDate, WeekNo
(all dates are in the format dd/mm/yyyy).
I want the user to be able to enter a date (possibly by a popup txtbox when trying to run the report)and for it find what week number it relates to in tblWeeks and also what records from tblTMS has entries in the TblTMS.DateReceived between the tblWeeks.StartDate and tblWeeks.EndDate of that particular week.
So the output of the query so show records in the following order.
tblWeeks.WeekNo
tblTMS.IDNo
tblTMS.Name
tblTMS.Address
I've been trying to do this but for some reason can't figure it out. I have done this kind of thing before but now can't get my head around it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

hi everyone,
i have a query that is used to generate a report. the report is based on date so i enter the following into the date criteria
Between [Please enter the date you wish to start the report] And [Please enter the date you wish to end the report]
it works fine however the problem is that my date is set up as medium date format which means 01-01-06. if i type 01.01.06 then it returns NO results.
How can it be avoided so that you can type ANY format of date and it will return correct results.
thanks
I have a form with a sub-form
eg
Purchase Order with main details on (Po Number, Supplier etc)
with a sub form carrying the line items to be ordered.
Table PO
Form PO
Table POSUB
Form POSUB
When entering main order details into Form PO, why do the fields in the related table(Table PO) immediately get populated when the the focus gets transfered to the sub-form (Form POSUB). with users quiting the database illegally (not by the cancel records button) the result is unwanted records in the Table PO.
What I want to do is complete the input fields in the main and sub forms without any records being commited to the tables until the "Save Record" button is pressed.
Thankyou
I have a "Client" table which has a "Date of Birth" field and the problem I am having is on in the data entry form the users type in "2/25" instead of "2/25/1965" on for the most part that's OK. But if the client DOB is 1930 or before then 2/25/2029 comes up.
I have found that the date format is tied to the Windows Regional settings and we are working on a network that doesn't allow me to adjust the settings.
I have tried to put a validation on the table for the field but then that makes it so you HAVE to enter something and can not leave that field blank if you want.
Any ideas?
