I get the error message "The field is too small to accept the amount of data you are trying to add. try inserting or pasting less data." I'm not attempting to run an insert or update query.

Access Help lives up to expectations by just repeating the error message, and the posts I can find on the forum which mention this error all seem to include something about a maximum of 254 characters in a field. None of mine are anywhere near that amount.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

The Field Is Too Small To Accept The Amount Of Data You Attempted To Add...?

Nov 16, 2006

All,
I have inheirited a database which I am attempting to query via an SQL statement:

"SELECT * FROM MYTABLE ORDER BY SheetNumber;"

This query works fine under Access but when executed thru ADO 2.5 / Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 from VB6 it reports the following error ("2147217833"):

"The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data."

First things first, I'm not trying to add/insert/paste any data (see SQL statement above). Secondly, when I remove "ORDER BY SheetNumber" from the SQL statement the error does not occur. I need to retain the ability to sort and would be grateful for any help/suggestions.

For your reference SheetNumber is defined as a 20 char Text field in Access.


Thanks in advance,


Rob Black.

Exporting Query To Text File - Too Small To Accept The Amount Of Data ... HELP!! WHY?

Mar 30, 2006

Hi folks,
I have a query that returns about 3500 records (and runs very well I have to say). the issue comes when I attempt to export that queries results to a comma seperated text file. It gives me the message that the field is too small to accept the amount of data..bla bla bla... I've looked this up and it mentions stuff about memo fields and issues with that, but I don't have any memo fields in any of the tables that this is pulling information from. Does anyone have a clue why this would be happening...please help..this is urgent.


Thanks - J

Field Too Small To Accept Data

Dec 2, 2014

I am trying to insert data into a table through a combo on a form. Originally, I had the text field size set at 15 characters, but the data I wanted to enter changed to 25 characters in length, so I changed the field size to 25. I then got the following message:

"The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data."I increased the size, but still got the message. I even took the size right up to 100, but still got the message!

Problem When Synchronising - Error 3163

Mar 7, 2007

Hello. I am getting the following error when synchronising between 2 replicas:

The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data. (Error 3163)

I have no idea what is causing this, since there have been no design changes since the last successful synchronisation of these two replicas.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

Forms :: Handling Large Amount Of Data In Memo Field

Jun 9, 2013

My DVD library database I have a memo field which has the description of the movies.

In some cases, like my tv show records, I have a lot of data because of the episodes and episode descriptions.

I'm currently displaying this data using a split form with the datasheet on the left

I must use a small font in the memo field in order to display all data.

I could use a larger font and simply scroll but I'm looking for an alternative.

I've even thought of creating a hyperlink filed and point to the movie on IMDB's web site. But when I click the link nothing happens even though I copied and pasted the link into the field.

Small Access Error Message

Mar 26, 2008

Hi,

i seem to be geting this message ( attached ) everytime i load the form for the first time. once i click ok, i can the enter data into the field and save as normal. if i load the form and got to a different field, it seems to be ok and the mesaage does not come back but it is definately there when i first click in the same field.

i have checked the form properties, field properties and code but i cannot see anything.

what usually causes this?

the text is the right size
the form is not in design view

i cant seem to find if the field is read only but after the box, i can enter data so that should remove any read only issues.

its vv frustrating.


regs,

Nigel

Form Won't Accept New Data

Mar 25, 2005

I have created a form based on a query that joins two tables. When I run the form, I am able to input new data into all fields that are from one of the two tables, but it won't accept new data into the second table. I don't get an error message that might help me identify the problem. The join between the tables is of the "include all records from Table A and only those records from Table B where the joined fields are equal."

Can anyone suggest where my problem might lie? Thanks!

Table Field Properties - Bound Column Only Accept Numeric Value?

Oct 22, 2014

I try to put an expression for the property "bound column" so that my lookup values will be directly dependent on one of attribute's choice

I have got four options for my attribute. Each option will use a slightly different set of lookup values. I save all four sets in another table.

Then in my properties definition I refer directly to this table as lookup base. When I put bound column number equal to an expression so as to choose the right column of lookup values it refuses. It seems that it does notl ike anything other than a numeric value.

If that's a no-go, I am not sure how to achieve what I try to do then?

Essentially I have a table that 4 attributes: QID,itemID,CatType,Catchoice

CatType can have only 4 values. Each value will make Catchoice take on a different set of combo values

The problem I am having is that I am stuck at the Catchoice lookup definition because it is dependent on what kind of CatType the user picks.

General :: Multiply Different Amount Of Hours By Different Amount Of Rates

Jul 17, 2014

I am trying to make a report in which I can see the amount of money that I have to pay weekly to an employee. To explain myself clearer, I have different rates for each employee. For example:

NameNormalPayRateVacationPayRateSickPayRateOvertimePayRateStandbyPayRate
John Smith$15$10$15$30$8
Ken Jonson$10$8$10$20$8

I am doing this in a query. So what I want to be able to do is, for example, take 4 hours that the employee worked at NormalPayRate and multiply it. But if tomorrow the employee worked at a different rate, for example 3 hours overtime, I want those 3 hours multiplied by OvertimePayRate.

The way I saw it on my Google researches, is that they have only one rate and the amount will be [SumOfHours]*[Rate]. But how can I tell my query to skip, for example, one rate because the employee didn't work at that rate that day. So I can have different amount for the different rates.

By the way, entering the information I can divide at what rate the employee worked x day. So if the employee work 6 hours at regular, and later on 4 hours at standby, I have those information separated in my table.

Results that I am getting: I can easily get the amount in money multiplying the whole hours by a rate, so my result in my report will be multiplied by the same rate.

I am using Access 2013 ...

Need Solution To Read Data In Both Capital/small Letter

Nov 13, 2006

Hi,

In one of the column of a table of my SQL Server contains around 500 employee names. Some of them are written in capital letters and some are not. Some of them with first character capital and rest all small.

I am using FE as MS Access. When user search the record thru a normal textbox (behind which I put small bunch of code to get the desired data in sub-form) user must enter searching name in the textbox in the same fashion the actual data available in the table.

e.g. let us say the employee name is John

User who searching John’s record must enter first letter capital otherwise it will not search. Why like this if table in on server.

This doesn’t happen when table is local in access. What is the solution to this?

All the suggestions are welcome.

With kind regards,
Ashfaque

Reports :: Removing Small Value Data Labels In Stacked Bar Chart

Jan 23, 2014

I would like to remove small value datalabels in a stacked column barchat.

If you look at the image attached, the small value datalabels tend to clutter the image.

My graph is a MSGraph.Chart.8 inside a Report.

I am working with Access 2010.

Looks like the only possibility to remove the small values is to do that programmaticaly in VBA.

I would like a method that I could call with two parameters : graphname and a threshold value as of which small value datalabels are not displayed.

Forms :: Limit Amount Of Data That Users Need To Input

May 23, 2014

We have a database where we are trying to limit the amount of data that users need to input.

We have a form, which contains order information. Where a customer has specific requirements, we add those requirements to a separate document review table MasterSpecification and DetailedSpecification.

When a customer has specific requirements, we can open the frmMasterSpecification and search for the document.

Assuming a review has been done the requirements will be shown on the subform Frmsubcoverage. I would like to be able to select the record source from this form and have the details entered into our order entry form.

Under the specification form there could be many sub coverage records depending on the type of item ordered to that specification.

Forms :: Display Fields With Large Amount Of Data

Mar 27, 2013

Best way to display "notes: field that gets updated/added to multiple times, in a form. (Access 2007)

I've got a DB to track information about product changes. Each month we have a meeting and discuss problem products. I'm concerned with a notes/comments section. Currently it is a memo field in the source table that can be added to, so the notes are cumulative. But we want to auto-add a date to each new entry (in case the person inputting the data forgets, and so that notes can be sorted by order on a report).

There may be many comments on a certain product or there may be none. Sometimes the note may be very long, other notes on the same product may be very short. I created a new table with a one-to-many relationship to case ID (to link it to the main form), auto-populate a date field, and field for notes in order to link multiple notes to each case (and of course an autonumber PK).

I can put the subform in the original form, but then the note field will be the same size for every note, though notes are not all uniform in size/length, and it ends up taking up a LOT of room on the main form. So I created a button to click to open the subform, but it brings up all records for all cases, not just the currently selected case. Again, have the problem of one uniform field size for all notes, regardless of size/length.

Then I considered a report to view past history (field size can shrink or grow as needed) then a button on the report that opens a form for data entry/entry of new note. But again the report displays all records for all cases, not just the currently selected case.

Data Field Entry Error

Sep 4, 2007

Hi,

I've join a small company who uses access to store a route card system. Unforunatly it's partially broken and nobody seems to know how to fix it. Instead of bodging it forever i'm hoping to fix it.

My access knowledge is fairly limited so please keep it simple

The route cards are fairly standard, the primary key beening the route card number, the are various fields material, order date, etc.

The problem is when you enter the data into 3 of these fields access repeats the data to all the forms. At the moment we're having to leave them blank and fill them in by hand, which means we don't have the data on computer.

Anyone know any possible causes for this?

Try To Input Data Using Field, Get A Error 'beep'

Mar 8, 2008

This is going to be extremely frustrating for all parties involved, because there's no error message - or any hint as to what's going on.

I have a form, frmSub, that has comboboxs linked to fields in two different tables, Products and PurchaseDetails. All the comboboxes linked to Products are working fine, but when I try and enter anything into the ones connected to PurchaseDetails all I get is a 'beep' and nothing happens.

I've definitely included all the appropriate fields in the record source of the form. I have no idea what else to try.

Here's the code for the record source query of the form. PurchaseDetail.Price and PurchaseDetail.Quantity are the fields not working:

Code:SELECT Products.Product, Products.Size, Products.Brand, Products.UnitOfMeasure, Products.ProductID, PurchaseDetail.Price, PurchaseDetail.QuantityFROM Products INNER JOIN PurchaseDetail ON Products.ProductID = PurchaseDetail.ProductID;
