A newbie to Access
I created a table to store data of my clients.
One of the fields in the table was set aside for the A/c Nos (Primary Key) for my clients.
An example of the A/c no looks like this : 57051-01
After setting the A/c no as the primary key, I cant key in the "01"
The field only allows me to key in 57051.
Is there any way to overcome this? Pls enlighten me!
Hello all
I was wondering if there is limitation to the number of IIf statements that can be nested in a calculated field.
Basically I need to assign a particular ‘label code’ to a record that will be derived from data with in several fields within the query. The data from the table (that the query is derived from) will be completely deleted and recreated on occasions, meaning I can not write data back to the table as it would be lost when the re-creation happens.
There is a possibility of many derivations for the ‘label code’ (maybe up to 100) so the nested IIf code will be substantial.
If there is a better way to do what I want I am all ears however I am not a VB programmer so would rather stick to doing within the query design grid, or SQL at a stretch.
Anyway the main focus to the question is there a limitation to the number of nested IIF statements.
Example preliminary test code:
Thanks in advance for any help provided regards.

We have a database with one main data entry which stores records in a seperate table. There are several thousand records keyed in using this form. Therefore, alongside the entry we have a search form which allow the user to search for a specific record and display it in the main if he/she needs to edit one.
We have received a request from users for a functionality which allows users to browse all records, using the main form layout, that they have keyed in. I guess what I am asking is: Is there a way to limit the records visible in a form using field on that same form as a limitation (ie. the users name - which is a required key-in)?
Hi,
I'm actually concepting a new site about travelling, in this web site people will be able to post the stories about there travelling (in french its called 'carnet de voyage') So lets say i will let limite texte to around 2 pages and will let upload 15 picture (but have a mini picture and a big picture, so in fact its 30) and i will limite weight for big at 100ko, but pictures is not uploaded in database.. only the link to the uploading file..
The language i want to use is asp and want to use an access database.
My question is considering that if my web site would become 'popular' and let say i have 200 hundred members who have post there stories. it would do about 3000 entries on pictures, and let say that 100 peoples looking at stories at the same time, is this gonna slow down my database or even crash it?
ps: im canadian (french) so sry if my english is a little bad, i have do my best to explain clearly.
I wonder if anyone can help me. I have a table in my database which currently uses 9 fields to make up the primary key. I wanted to add a further 2 fields to this to make 11, however Access will only accept 10. Does anyone know any way around this please?

I'm getting an error "The setting for this property is too big" for my combo box when trying to load 2 columns (fields) of about 2,000 records using a stored proc (SQL SERVER 2000) to access 2003 as my front end. If i only load the customer number.. one field it does it.. but as soon as i try adding the customer name next to each number I get this error, is there a limitation to the combo box that I'm not aware of?
Hello,
I have a database that has 63 fields. I want to do a query that will give me one aggregate number for all 63 fields. When I try to run it through the Access Query GUI, it only allows me to select 43 of the 63 fields then the buffer is full. So I tried through the SQL GUI and it's better but still will not get the entire 63 fields. So last I tried through the MODULES and wrote a quick VBA and it tells me the string exceeds the 1024 character limit. ARRRRG!! What I'm trying to do is this:
SELECT qryGrpByUL.CellName, ((([qryGrpByUL]![UL0]+([qryGrpByUL]![UL1])*1)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL2]*2)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL3]*3)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL4]*4)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL5]*5)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL6]*6)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL7]*7)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL8]*8)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL9]*9)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL10]*10)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL11]*11)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL12]*12)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL13]*13)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL14]*14)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL15]*15)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL16]*16)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL17]*17)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL18]*18)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL19]*19)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL20]*20)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL21]*21)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL22]*22)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL23]*23)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL24]*24)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL25]*25)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL26]*26)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL27]*27)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL28]*28)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL29]*28)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL30]*30)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL31]*31)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL32]*32)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL33]*33)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL34]*34)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL35]*35)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL36]*36)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL37]*37)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL38]*38)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL39]*39)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL40]*40)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL41]*41)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL42]*42)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL43]*43)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL44]*44)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL45]*45)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL46]*46)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL47]*47)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL48]*48)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL49]*49)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL50]*50)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL51]*51)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL52]*52)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL53]*53)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL54]*54)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL55]*55)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL56]*56)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL57]*57)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL58]*58)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL59]*59)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL60]*60)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL61]*61)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL62]*62)+([qryGrpByUL]![UL63]*63)/63)-110) AS TotalOfUL
FROM qryGrpByUL;
The output is the mean of all the fields and should give me an output that looks like this
CellName TotalOfUL

Is there another route I can take? The database is not a security issue. If you would like it, I'll be happy to pass it along. I am also very flexible. I can modify almost anything for a suitable outcome.
Thanks for your time,
I am creating an access database and I want to know the following limitations;
1. Maximum number of users who can log into the database at a time
2. Maximum size of the database. Here I understand that it is 2GB, but I am confused as to whether it is for .MDB file or for each table in the database.
Can anywone help me in this regard? :confused:
I have a website writen in ASP and connected to Microsoft Access.. Why several people is telling me they couldn't find my website, it's not working. But they didn't tell me what is the error are they getting..
I get about 50 hits daily. Could Access handle this type of job?
Today a guy who has done some Access programming told me that an Access table has a limit on the number of records.
Whereas I was thinking the only limit is the 2 gig size.
Which one of us is correct here?
(Access 2003).
I haven't been able to find if there is a maximum length of text within a textbox.
I have a form on a club database, and one of the textboxes has the details of their photographic experience. I have one person who is a very experienced worker and I need to add more details in the textbox. Currently there are 29 characters, including spaces in the box, but it won't allow me to add any more. I have set the width of the box on the form to a wider setting, but this makes no difference. What can I do?
I have a form that supervisors use to input employee accountability for each day. Once supervisor completes the input, a command button is selected and records are appended to an archive table and then deleted from the "live" table. End of the month, reports pull from the archive table to tally absences.
The problem: when a supervisor submits the daily status report but resubmits the report do to an input error I now have two records for the one reported date.
How do I pull the end of month report without including an earlier record for a duplicate date? Is it possible to have access overwrite any records previously submitted for that day?

How can I get the value from a field in one table (in the sub form) to copy/insert into a field in another table (in the main form) when adding a new record?The main form and sub form are linked using parent/child linking, and the sub form is in a tab.I have table A (Visit Dates) in the main form which is used to record the date of a visit to a church. Table B (Quarters and Peals) is used to record an event that took place at that church during that visit. Note that not all visits in table A require a record to be created in table B - but half or more do.
In tables A and B I have a field called "QuarterOrPealID" and these are both primary keys, though the field in table B is set to 'no duplicates' and in table A it's set to 'duplicates allowed', as table A has its own auto number/pk. They are both linked in the relationships.
So, when I add a new record to table A using the main form, I might then need to click on the tab in the sub form to create a new record in table B, which has to be linked to the same record in table A. When the "QuarterOrPealID" auto number/pk is generated in the sub form (table B), I need that value to update to the "QuarterOrPealID" field of the main form (table A), so that when I'm viewing these records the form pulls all the information nicely together.
I want to filter my subform data, to only show records where field A is a higher value than field B.
Code:
Me.MySubform.Form.Filter = "A > B"
Me.MySubform.Form.FilterOn = True
This way it doesn't find field B.
Code:
Me.MySubform.Form.Filter = "A > " & MySubform.Form!B
Me.MySubform.Form.FilterOn = True
This way it seems to filter all record to the field B value of the first record.
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 have two fields 1 & 2
field 1 is a simple combo list of user defined values ie A, B, C or D
Field 2 relates to a attribute of the data in field 1 and is not always the same for A, B, C and D. i.e
A could have a,b,c,d or e
B could have c,e,f,g or h
C could have a,g,h,i or j
D could have v,w,x,y or z
I would field 2 to have a combo box which only displays a,b,c,d, or e when A is chosen in field 1; c,e,f,g or h when B is chosen; etc
How do I do this?
Cheers all,

I've just returned to work after kids and started managing a large Access database related to health, back-tracking over many years.
Currently in filling a form we physically enter:
Apples 2.2
red apple 2.4
red apple cut 2.45
Oranges 5.6
Cucumbers 8.5
Is it possible to get field 2 to automatically fill with a number code due to the text typed in field 1?
FWIW, I'm confident at more basic Access e.g making follow on default value = Dlast("field""table") type stuff but the more complex stuff I haven't touched since Uni over a decade ago and you will need to be gentle while I blow away the cobwebs
Within my table if Field 1 has an answer of Self (from drop down), then, I would like Fields 6-12 to auto populate; however, if Field 1 does not have an answer of Self, then leave Fields 6-12 blank.
I am not quite sure how to lay this out. I am using Access 2010.
I am currently stuck on set focus property. I have a main from with nested subform. I am trying to move the focus from last field of the subform to another field on the main form.
Customers(mfrm)....>Addresses(sfrm)...>Orders(sfrm Add)......>OrdDetails(sfrmOrders)
Now I have a field name [Securedesign] in frmOrderdetails and I want the tab order to navigate to field [CustomerID] in frmAddresses which is a subform to frmCustomers.
I have my Assets form and the primary key is the ChargerID, in this form I have an "Add New Job For This Asset" button, which opens up the Jobs form at a new record.
How do I make it so that the ChargerID field is automatically filled with whatever the previous record was instead of being blank.
For example if I have Charger12345 open in the Asset form, I'd like to click the Add New Job button and it automatically have Charger12345 in the ChargerID field of the Jobs form.
I'm pretty good with setting up a very simple database such as inventory, profiles, etc.. However I'm creating a database to keep track of a football (soccer) team's players and match statistics.What I have so farsample attached)
Tables:
* Players - PlayerID, Fname, Lname, position, goals, assists, etc (all details regarding a player)
* Position - Positons (Table containing positions eg: defender. Data is selected in player's form as a combo-box)
* Competition - Competition types (Cup, League, Friendly. Data is selected in Match's form as a combo-box
* Venue - similar to Competition table
* Opponent - Similar to above two tables
* Match - MatchID, Competition, Venue, etc (form corresponding to table attached)
Forms:
* Player form
* Match form
Now as shown in the sample, I choose players using the combo-box. Then whatever stats they had during the match are entered on the fields provided. How to link the player (selected using combo box) to the stat fields (goals, assist, YC, etc).
I am trying to do some simple table operations. I have a field (Date) containing dates, and an empty field called Day.
I want to extract the day number from the Date field, and write it to the Day field.
I didn't get very far until I ran into trouble when setting my recordset. I get the error "Too few parameters, expected 1". Clicking "Debug", will highlight the code line "Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(sqlString, dbOpenDynaset)".
So far, my code looks as follows:
Code:
Private Sub Command16_Click()
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim sqlString As String
Dim dataDay As Byte
'Open connection to current Access database
Set db = CurrentDb()
[Code]...
I am not very familiar with the various types of recordset settings. I just want to be able to read data from the Date field, and write data to the Day field.
I have a main form and a subform.
Both forms have the field called JobID in common.
Both forms have a field called JobStatus.
Any easiest solution so that After I Update the field called JobStatus in the subform, it changes the field called JobStatus in the main form to the value which was selected from the subform?.
I am making a new Record in the design view of a table (creating a new field in the table), and I am assigning it a date type, is there a hotkey that will select the field properties sheet so that I can select the format of the field without having to move my mouse?
