I am trying to evaluate a field in an access database. I have entered iif([fieldx]="Contributor",1,0). The field that I am evaluating has the word Member or Contributor in it, but my formula always returns a zero (0). What am I doing wrong?
View RepliesPlease have a look at the following code (I am not good at VBA or SQL).
Me.[txtBox] = DLookup(“[SNum]”, “[Table1]”, “[RecID])
If Me.txtBox =>2 Then
Condition if true
Else
Condition if false
End If
I type a value in my [txtBox], a number. I want to evaluate if the typed value meets the condition or not. [SNum] is serially numbered and [RecID] is autonumber Primary Key. The above code is not working. How do I achieve this? Please help.
I have two date fields that I am using a form to show the open and close date of an investigation. The opened date field is controlled by a textbox elsewhere on the form, but the date closed is controlled by the vbCalendar control. What I am trying to do in coding is to evaluate whether or not the closed date is before the open date. If the date closed is before the date open I would like a message box to open that prevents the user from moving forward and reminding them that the date closed is earlier than the date open. Is it possible with the vbCalendar option being able to change its focus continually.

Both the fields team and category are from same table called 'rawdata'
Report displays the data datewise but it is grouping according to team,which is not what i required;
Date CntValues
12/1/2013 1 [team 1]
12/1/2013 3 [team 9]
output should be
12/1/2013 4
that is to avoid duplicate date values.
I'm working with a table of financial transactions. I need to know the date a record relating to cash received actually arrived in our bank, but the software doesn't allow the user to enter this, so I've asked them to enter it into a text reference field, e.g. 'Other Text XX 16/04/14', and then I've got a formula - CDate(Right(Trim([RefField]),8)) - which takes the date from this reference.
This works fine, but it's really important I don't miss any of these records due to the date not being entered, so what I'm trying to make is a formula which will give me the date from the ref field as in the formula above if there is one, but if that formula gives an error (so the date has been missed out or incorrectly entered) then I want to take the date from another field, called [DateAdded] as a failsafe.
I can't work out a formula that won't give me an error, i've tried loads. First I tried :
iif(iserror(CDate(Right(Trim([RefField]),8))),[DateAdded],CDate(Right(Trim([RefField]),8)))
But that gives an error, and I think from looking at forums that Access evaluates both parts of an Iif function so it'll do that.
It seems like other people are saying that you need to use Nz, IsDate or IsNumeric or something along those lines instead of IsError to evaluate the field, but I can't get that to work as it's not a field, it's a portion of a text field.
This is my latest attempt:
Join Date: IIf(IsDate(Right(Trim([RefField]),8)),[DateAdded],[Calc Date]),
where [Calc Date] is an expression field with CDate(Right(Trim([RefField]),8)) in it, but there's the #Error again.
How can I use iif to pick either a date from a text string, or where that results in an error then another date field?
This returns the correct value Debug.Print [myTable]![myField]
Why does this result in an error? Debug.Print Eval("[myTable]![myField]")
Access 2010 project I am trying to develop for my workplace.
I want to be able to show a chart, a graph, of how many open orders we have had during the last month (showing per day) and during the last year (showing per months). In order to do this I am trying to create a set of queries that would provide me with such information in the form/structure;
[Date] [OpenOrdersTotal]
Yyyy-mm-dd 4
Yyyy-mm-dd 5
Yyyy-mm-dd 3
Yyyy-mm-dd 4
And after that I would create a chart I have
1. TblOrders
[OrderID] Autonum
[CaseID] Foreign primary key
[DepartmentID] Foreign primary key
[DateOrderMade] Date (yyyy-mm-dd)
[DateOrderAnswerd] date (yyyy-mm-dd)
2. TblDates
[ReportDate] Date (yyyy-mm-dd)
The evaluation in a query that runs all [ReportDate] logically would say;
Code:
Count(IIF([ReportDate] BETWEEN [DateOrderMade] AND [DATEORDERANSWERD]);1;0)
...but that wont do it.
I have attached a copy of the segment above ....
Record Primary Key: ID_Wells..The TxtFedStCo has Fed, St, Co, ... in one field - and a Dt_Apd_Sub (date submitted) .There can be zero or many dates submitted for each Fed or State.
Objective:
If
A Fed has (1 or many) date submitted
AND
A St has (1 or many) date submitted
Condition is TRUE
How do I get to the next step? The reason for doing this in SQL is to prototype in Access, then move this over to TSQL later.
I have a search from that has an option group, text fields, and a checkbox where the users selects a variety of option that generates a query. If the query return at least on record a split form (form on top/datasheet on bottom) is displayed and the form has an Edit and Close button. If the query returns no records the form is still displayed except the buttons are not visible.
If I knew the result of the query and then made a decision whether to open the form or release control back to the search box that would be great. To open the form I am using VBA with the DoCmd.OpenForm(,,"MyQuery","criteria") command.I thought about using the DLookup command and evaluate the return value for null to be used to control the program flow.
Hi
I'm adding to a database that someone else set up. I went to the Design View page and clicked on one of the buttons at the bottom to add a text box etc etc. It all looks fine, but the field doesn't seem to be active - if I add some text into it for one page of the databse, the same text appears on every page of the databse. I notice that my "new field" is not listed in the fields list. How do I add it? I keep looking through "The Missing Manual" but without spending 3 days reading the whole thing (which I don't have time for) and learning much much more than I need to know just to get to the part that I need to know, it isn't helping me much.
Please can anyone enlighten me? My email is stu_paranormal@yahoo.co.uk

creating auto number field in access database. I have an access database which 20 million records. When i am trying to add auto number field i am getting error "File sharing lock count exceeded".Then i did some google search and got some information like editing the registry file , in my case its not possible due to security restrictions.And another option of adding a code in VB immediate window also i tried but this option is also not working.
"DAO.DBEngine.SetOption dbmaxlocksperfile,25000000"
how to auto populate the numbers in a specific field using VBA codes.
I'm new to Access and VBA, for the record. What I need to do is copy a SQL database (table structures and records) and save it as a local Access database, so that the user can query and make any changes on the local file without editting the SQL database.
Looking around, it seems like the best option would be to use the TransferDatabase method with the acImport option. Does this sound reasonable, or can someone with more experience suggest a better way to go about it? Thanks.

Using Access's User and Group Accounts or Using a Login Form to access database?
I've been researching on how to make a database secure. How to create User and Group Accounts on access, I see the step by step instructions and tried it out myself.
I also saw some sites where they give an example of a Login Form and how to create one.
My question is do you need to create both. First create the users and groups to permit or deny access to certain forms and then have a login form?
But would that mean that they'd have to login twice? Once when the database opens because it activates the db security that was created and then login again in the login form that was created?
Also when the user logins in and clicks on the cmd button on the form which opens up another from, frmWorkLog, I have an Employee field. This field I want it to have the user's name entered automatically and "locked". So that info, employee name, is extracted from the user's login. So then the user can only see his or her records only and no one elses.
How would I go about creating that. Hope I made my explanation clear.
Thanks in advance.
I have two database applications and they are:
- the (A) application is for administration use.
- the (B) application is for normal users use.
the idea is that: I made the (A) application for administrators who have full control over the database objects (tables, forms, queries, and so on ...).
the (B) application I have created for normal users who will have only to use forms to insert some data and display data only.
but the two applications has a respective table called "vacation request" table. where I linked them, so the both administrators and users can share the data.
The real question is that: How can I prevent the users from seeing the database objects in their application. I used the database options which have helped me in hidding the database objectives when the users open the application, but unfortunately they managed to access to the database objects by pressing the special keys.
I would like to have an access to the (B) application when I want to make some modifications to the forms and then lock it from users where they only have to use the forms for requesting vacations and view the vacations.
i am trying to use access 2000 database onto to access 2003. When i try to click design mode to change something it gives me this message:

Hi,
A few years ago I’ve made an access database on access 2000. The problem is that now I’ve installed the office 2003, and I can’t make the database work properly.
At first says that are missing those files: “tshoot.ocx”, “msioff9.ocx” and “msowc.dll”; so, I’ve copy them from another computer using office 2000 and now only complains about “msioff9.ocx” saying that my database contains a reference incomplete to it.
Is there no other way to convert my database do work properly with access 2003? What can I do?

Hi All,
Background Info: I developed our main department's Access 2003 split database which is on a server for 15+ Users. I've now been given Access 2007 for development -- Users still have 2003. There are also 2 other smaller databases that are not split (.mdb).
Problem: In the split database, I've saved the Application .mdb as 2003, relinked and made a new .mde. But the Users still cannot open the database. (I did this in a copy until I figure out the nuances with 2007.) The 2 other unsplit databases can be saved as 2003 version and Users can open OK.
I'm grateful for any suggestions on working with Access 2007. I've been trying to tackle the ribbon which is a whole other question.
Hi
I have an Access 2000/2003 database which opens up and displays correctly in Access 2007, but when I go to use the File>Print command, or for that matter any of the other pull down menu's nothing happens?
Has anyone else experienced thisproblem, or does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi
I have this Access application. Now I want to see the databases and fields defined.but when I open the access file, it straight opens the access application.
Then when i press Alt+F11, it opens VB Editor. Then when I click on Design mode it comes back to access in the design mode, but still does not shows the design mode for databases and reports and all.
I can remember there is one more step I need to do after getting into the design of the form.But I cannot remember that
Could anyone please help me out
thanks

Hi,
I am doing some computer work for a company that has an Access 2000 application. This app is split up between a program database that contains the forms, reports, etc. and a data database. Both the program database and the data database are located on a Windows 2003 teminal server. There are usually two or three remote users logged into the terminal server, but this number is about to increase to 6 or 7. I am concerned that these user's will all be running the same copy of the program database. I have read that this can lead to performance problems.
I was wondering if anyone hear thought either of the following would be an improvement:
1. Put a separate copy of the program database in each user's profile on the terminal server.
2. Rather than keeping the program database on the terminal server, put a copy of it on each of the remote client pc's. Then set up a VPN connection to the server and use this to link to the data database.
If anyone could tell me if either of these options would lead to improved performance, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance,
Paul
Here is what I am trying to do. I have a query with 2 fields. "Time In" & "Time Out". What I would like to happen is this. Whenever a character, let's say a "t", is entered into that field I would like the current time to populate that field. Right now we are actually typing in the time. I have the fields set up as DateTime fields currently.

I am new to Access 2007 and I am having trouble in creating a form. It is simply a data storage table which would be fed in by users. That it.
I need to create a user friendly form so that :
When the user selects : Career_Goal field as "None", the next field called: Years, should be automatically be populated as 0.
In any other case, they should be able to select the years from the dropdown list.
How do I create this if else conditions? Do I use expression builder, if yes then how?
