Field In Table Not Allowing Certain Characters

Jan 18, 2008

Hi Folks,

I have a table called tblSchemeCodes with the following field names:

Field Name Data Type Field Size Required Indexed

strCompany Text 1 Yes No
strSchemeCode Text 3 Yes Yes(No Duplicates)
strSchemeName Text 100 Yes No
strOrigNo Text 9 Yes No
strCategory Text 9 Yes No
dtmDateAdded Date/Time No No

Here is an example of some of the scheme codes I have:

HG
HGA
HGB
HGD
HGF
HGG
HGJ
HGP etc etc

however when I try to add HGE, it won't allow it, even though it doesn't exist within the table, it keeps changing it from HGE to HE, and HE already exists, so a can't add messgage pops up, which is should, because duplicates are not permiited.

I've tried turning off all of the required aspects and changed the "Yes (no Duplicates)" to "No", and the problem persists!!

Has anyone any idea why access would behave in this way and how I might resolve it.

Any assistance would be appreciated

John

Can A Field In A Table Be Wrapped At 50 Characters?

Oct 22, 2004

I have to import a field from Excell that contains more than 50 characters in the field.

I need the line to stop at the last complete word prior to 50 characters and start the next record in that field automaticly and continue to fill and wrap at the last complete word prior to 50 characters.

Would it be better to do this in another Office 2K program?

I have several thousand lines to type if this can't be automated. What a drag.

TIA

Populating A Field Automatically OR Allowing Manual Entering Of Data

Sep 26, 2005

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.

Forms :: Allowing Data Entry For Unbound Fields (not In Table)

May 1, 2013

I'm trying to build a form based on a table where the user can also enter data to update the table but with data fields not originally in the table. Below is a summary of what I have and what I need:

1.) A file that will be uploaded daily into a Table (ie name Denials extract table).
2.) A form bound to table Denials extract
3.) Additional fields that will be updated by users that is not included in this table b/c they are not available in the system we are getting the data extract from.
4.) The user will look up a key field that will allow them to review it in our system. Once they "work" the record, there will be multiple fields that they will update with this information that are not in the bound recordsource (table Denials extract).

Do I create another table with these fields even though they will be blank at first and make them a subform that will have a "primary key field" that will link the main form with the subform? Will they need to "update" a whole new table? Not really sure how that would work since they will be updating fields not in the bound table.

Forms :: Include Check Boxes In Interactive Access Form Allowing To Choose Output Field

Jun 27, 2013

Including check boxes (representing the query fields) in an interactive access form, in order to decide which fields should be visible.

I think the solution is building an invent in VBA for each check box, however I'm not an expert in Access VBA and don't know how to write the code.

In the example that I've uploaded, in the Form1, when I run the query, all fields are displayed, i.e. VENDOR, REGION, CUSTOMER and MATERIAL are displayed. How can I manage it in the form with a listbox to display only the REGION or MATERIAL for instance.

Queries :: Allowing Users To Select Multiple Table Fields As Query Criteria

Apr 22, 2013

I am fairly new to Access and I would like to create a form to allow users to create their own query. I would like to allow users to select multiple fields (perhaps with checkboxes?) from all possible fields in a table to return either all data from that field or narrow their search by inputting certain criteria or choosing from a drop down into a text box. Is this possible in Access and any detailed specifics on how to achieve this?

Forms :: Allowing Different Values In One Field Depending On Selected Values Of Another

Nov 22, 2013

I have several result fields which are all drop down lists. I want each result field's drop down list values to be different depending on the selected value of the Test1 drop down list.I came up with using the .rowsource keyword. My syntax seems to be fine but I'm not getting any values under the result fields when I run the form.Here is my code so far:

Private Sub Test1_AfterUpdate()
If Me.Test1 = "Stress Echo" Or Me.Test1 = "Stress SPECT" Or Me.Test1 = "Stress PET" Or Me.Test1 = "Stress MRI" Then
Me.Test1Result2.RowSourceType = "Value List"
Me.Test1Result3.RowSourceType = "Value List"

[code]...

Most/Least Characters Used In A Field?

Dec 18, 2007

I am sure there is an easier way fo doing this, but I am looking one at a time!!!

I want to know what is the Max and Min number of characters used in each field of my table.

I am using this code below, the max will be at the top and then scroll to the bottom to find the min, but as can be seen this is doing one field at a time and is very time consumining!


SELECT tbl05to06.Account, Len([Account]) AS MyAccount
FROM tbl05to06
ORDER BY Len([Index Key]) DESC , Len([Centre]) DESC , Len([Account]) DESC;

Separating Characters Within A Field

Jan 16, 2006

Hi,

Simple question really (if you know your VBA)...

Have a field which contains records of strings of alphabetic characters i.e.

ADGHJLP
BCEFHIJKLMOPST
etc

Need to be able to separate these characters with a '/' so that the field reads

A/D/G/H/J/L/P
B/C/E/F/H/I/J/K/L/M/O/P/S/T

etc

I know it'll be a For..Next loop of some kind but can't seem to get the syntax correct.

Any help appreciated.

cheers,

Alex

Trim Field To 35 Characters

Jan 26, 2008

I have a field "DisplayURL" that contains values of various lengths. Some are only 12 or 13 characters long, but others are 50 characters long. I need to run an update query to "cut-off" all the characters past the 35 limit - so that all records in the field will be 35 characters or less.

I've searched this forum and online and there are similar posts but nothing quite like this, I thought it would be a trim function but I keep reading that it only removes spaces. Any ideas?

Need More Than 64 Characters In Title Field

Oct 24, 2014

Any workaround so that I can place more characters than the 64 limited in a field header.

In essence, I need to export a text or CSV file from Access every day, and the row header for the first column (i.e, in cell A1 if opened in excel) needs to read:

"Action (SiteID=US|Country=US|Currency=USD|ListingType=Hal f|Location=US|ListingDuration=GTC)"

I am currently unable to have a field header with that length, because Access does not allow my table header to be more than 64 characters.

Hi all,

I'm new here and attempted to search on this topic, but didn't seem to find anything pertaining to my problem...

I'm attempting to export a table using TransferSpreadsheet to an Excel 8-9 file, but one of the fields in my records is over 255 characters long. Importing it into Access works fine, but after I export it to the Excel file, it truncates the field to 255 characters. Is there a way around this?

I'm using Access 2000 and Excel 2000.

Force Entry Of Certain Characters In Text Field?

Jun 7, 2007

Hi,

I have a DB where I want text entry of the primary key to adhere to a certain format.
I'm already using a mask of >LL000000 to force two capital letter and 6 numbers.
Is there any way I can force extra restrictions, by making for example the first 3 characters to have to be AB1, thus making every entry follow format:
AB1<number><number><number><number><number>

(FYI: Access 2003)

Search For Specific Characters In A Text Field

May 25, 2005

I have a table with a large text field in it, among other fields.
What I am trying to do, in a query, is to show only the characters that are between brackets "[" and "]" for that field. And, if there is more than one pair of brackets, show only what lies between the last pair of brackets.

What I've tried so far is use InStr() functions to find these brackets and then use a Mid() function to show the enclosed text. But, it doesn't work well and it gives me a very complex query! In fact, I don't think it is a good idea to even use these functions in my query. That would probably slow it down a lot.

Can someone show me a function that I could use to do what I'm looking for? I need function names that could help me make better searches for more informations.

Thank you!
