Ok Im having trouble with this, I need to remove cities from an address field but don't know a simple query that does this. Can any body help
heres an example
Address1 City
10/F, HONG KONG LAI CHI KOK EXCHANGE IIHONG KONG
Now I want to be able to pull Hong kong out of the address1 field but without searching in the address field with *HONG KONG* as this would involve checking every city in a table.
I'm trying to improve the dialer that i place on microsoft access forms. basically there's a command button that dials the number that is in a text box, but we have a new job that's just come in that requires numbers to be copied and pasted into the text box. these numbers have a space between the dialing code and the telephone number and i need to make the dialer check for a space and remove it before dialing.
Here's the code for the dialing buttons:-
Private Sub cmd_Dial_Click() On Error GoTo Err_cmd_dial_Click CT.MakeCall "8" & txt_telephone.Value & "#", "", False, "", "", False
I'm working with a DB to enter orders for picking. I have an item list that I'm linking to when entering orders, and bringing in the data from the item list such as item location etc.
It's setup right now that when I type the first couple of letters into the item field it automatically brings up the matching items and if I click enter it completes the item and brings in the other fields from the item list.
Example: If I type in 'tom' I get back 'tomato', 'tomato sauce' etc. and when I choose the right one and hit enter it fills up the rest of the required info such as item location.
What I would like it to do is have the auto complete also check for middle words.
Example: when I type 'alm' it returns 'almonds', 'almond milk', but don't return 'container almonds' or 'container roasted almonds' etc.
Does any one know of a place online where you can get the tables (for free I hope) for a city state zip comboboxes, or at least the tables for all cities in the US.
Hi My name is Dana and this is my first post here . I am a DB newbie , i started to teach my self MS Access with a small project as a start . I made a simple client data table where there are country and city fields + phone , fax , etc etc ... . I made 2 tables 1 for the countries and 1 for the cities . I know that it is a very familiar question :o How can we do the following when you select a country in the client table , only cities of this country show up in the city combo box . I found some answers here and there , but as a newbie , the codes where difficult to understand . I attached my source file and i will be thankful if someone could help and to give me a simple explanation of the codes concept . I just want to add the codes in the table not in a form , i found some answers by adding codes to a Form :confused: . Because as i know i can export only tables and queries to sql.
I need help with the code for a combobox. The thing is that I've created a form where the user has to select the country, then the state and finally the city. What I need is that once the user selects the country, the combobox of the state shows only the states of that country and then the combobox of the city shows only the cities of the chosen state. I'd appreciate all the help given. Andrew.
I'm stuck on something that should be simple, but maybe it isn't:
Problem 1:
To speed data entry in a contact table, I want an entry in the Zipcode (postal code) field to automatically populate the City and State fields from the data in a Zipcode table (Zipcode-PK, City, ST (2 letter code)). The Zipcode table has only one city /st for each zipcode, so it can be the primary key (always a five digit number, sometimes with leading zero(s)).
Sometimes there are several names for a City associated with a particular Zipcode, so I want the City field to be able to be overwritten with a different city name if the data entry person needs to do that. Alternatively, I could establish a separate primary key for the zipcode table, and allow several choices for the rare zipcode that has more than one city name in use.
If I did that I wouldn't have to store the city and st in the contact table (which is better database design, I realize), but I really do want to be able to store the city and state in the contact table because there will be times when the right zipcode isn't known, and the city and state are known, and forcing the input of a possibly incorrect zipcode would be undesirable.
Problem 2: I've got a table with 4,000 records where I have the zipcode, but the city and state information were lost, and I want to be able to re-populate those fields by writing, I guess, an update query that taps the info in the zipcode table.
Problem 3: When entering addresses, sometimes there won't be info about a certain zipcode, and I need some automatically generated dialog that allows adding city and state info for a new zipcode that won't slow down the entry of contact records.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Send an email if you prefer.
I have a task of managing hardware assets like desktop, monitor, HDD, routers etc. Each item is marked with a unique ID.
These items could be transferred from one city to another city; so need to track that too.
1. There will be two tables
One (say AssetDetail) will have the following fields RecordID City AssetID Description of the asset (desktop/monitor etc) ProductSerialNumber of the asset
Second (say AssetTransfer) will have the additional fields NewCity AssetTransferredDate
2. I only want to open a single form :
a) where on the basis of either AssetID or the ProductSerialNumber, I could open a particular record and edit it.
i) if the asset is transferred from city A to city B; then the "City" field value in AssetDetail table should change to "city B"(New City field value).
ii) At the same time, each asset transfer record should get appended to the AssetTransfer table even if the table has an existing record with the same AssetID or ProductSerialNumber.
3. Also need an option to make a new entry to the AssetDetail table from the above mentioned single form.
I have a list if names, some with a middle initial and some without, that are all in one field. eg George P Wingrove or Ada Wingrove. Can I run a query that will seperate the name into two or three fields? I have tried the following in a query, but not being very successful. FirstName:Left([Name],InStr(1,[Name]," ")-1), MiddleInitialTrim(Mid([Name],InStr(1,[Name]," ")+1,InStr(InStr (1, [Name], " ")+1,[Name]," ")-InStr(1,[Name]," "))) and LastName:IIf(InStr(InStr([Name]," ")+1,[Names]," ") <>0, Right([name],Len([name])-InStr(InStr([Name]," ")+1,[Name]," ")),Right([Name],Len([Name])-InStr([Name]," "))) Unfortunately, it puts #Error if there is no middle initial. Any way round this problem?
Is it possible to set the Tab Order to move to a subform before all the controls in the Main form have been passed through, and then come back to the Main form where one left off?
I have a form with a client name and a chargable service, a subform with products and, on the main form again, amount tendered.
Logic dictates that one select all items for which one is paying before showing how much is paid.
Right now, I go through the client info, then chargable service, amount tendered, and then anything purchased on the subform. That's kinda bass ackwards.
I'd somehow like to insert the subform's controls into the Tab Order, after chargable service and before amount tendered.
I have a Form that is modal and popup, and which opens without the MS Access in the background. It is like a separate window (piece of program) that runs under Windows XP.
If I move the Form on my screens (I have dual monitors) I would like that the messages that are triggered by various actions to appear on top of the form not - for example - on the other screen .
Is there an easy way to split a full name into firstname, middle name and lastname? I have a field name with names such as James R Lowes and i would like to split the name in 3 like. Firstname : James Middle Initial: R Lastname: Lowes
I was able to find a module to extract the first name from a string, but don't know much about VB and cannot figure out to do the rest.

When opening a form i get asked for a parameter value for a field that has been deleted. it obvioulsy still exists somewhere but I cannot find it. i have analysed performance, all tables, forms and queries but it doesn't come up with this filed anywhere. the field name has even been spelt wrong so i thought it would be easy to track! Help - what else can i do to find where this parameter is being called from??
i want to find out all the tables that contain a particular field. eg.employee_ID exists in employee table and other tables, how i can find out what are the other tables? can i run a search query to do this?
