Hi,
How do I format data in my report to display with a dollar sign?
I am using the following format $#,##0.00;($#,##0.00), but somehow I get a Format$ paramater to enter value.
Thanks

If I have a report in MS Access 2000 generated based on the criteria selected of a project with work order "9999" with the labor costs, materials costs and the Totals of each crew1, crew2,... and I would like to have those expenditures populated in corresponding cel in Excel for each crew, HOW would I do it?
To think it out loud, could I create a button on a form, so when I select the criteria for the work order, and when I click the button, it should refresh/update the Exel file with the new data...?? How do I write VBA code for that...?
Please help...Thank you so much....
I have written my very first database in Access 2003 but it tells me that it has been saved in Access 2000 Format.
My questions are:
1. Why has it done this?
2. Can I change it 2002 or 2003 format?
I have recently installed access 2003 w/access 97 installed both are on my hard drive. When I create a new db in access 2003 it saves it in an access 2000 format. Does any one know why it does this?
Thanks--Appreciate any help

I have written a database in Access 2003, saved as an Access 2000 format. This runs fine on Windows XP workstations. When I install the same system on a Windows 7 system, my login screen launches, the user is able to enter in their name and password. Then nothing happens. What is supposed to happen is a form opens up after the password is entered that applies security written in code based on the user.

I have a database that currently has security in place so that users input their own usernames and passwords to access the database. The users have recently been added to a windows 2000 server and I want to be able to use their windows 2000 server logon credentials to provide them with automatic access to the database. Is there anyone out there who knows how to set this up? It is a rather urgent request if you could get back to me either on this forum or via email

Hello All,
I am using Microsoft Access 2000 and wanted to know how to import data from another Access database that was done in Visual Basic. I know how to import flat-file database such as Excel but how do I import data that has a
One-To-Many Relationship? The end user will need to transistion into the new database so I would need to update it once awhile. Thank you very much for your time and assistance.
I've just joined a company based in Scotland, they are running a multiple user access 2000 database: backend and front-end. Recently they have had an issue where a user inserting a new row in a table, as they do, the record above drops off the table (disappears/unrecoverable). My first impression has been that this is a DB corruption issue and as such have ran compact/repair.We are running this database on network server:
-Backend resides in central location
-Frontend - Each user has their own front-end, storded on their personal network drive.
Would I be right in saying that the best solution would be to convert to newer version of access ?
i am programmer i do a project on vb.6.0 and ms access 2000
PROBLEM 1). .if i try to save data on the database its successfully saved but previously saved data will be deleted.
PROBLEM 2). if i add large number of data on database but its not increasing and constantly on 18 numbers.
I am opening and closing a series of Excel 2000 Workbooks using Access 2000 VBA and want this sequence to be able to complete without any human intervention.
However, there are 2 instances when this stops and waits for a human option to be selected:
1. When the spreadsheet is password protected
2. When the spreadsheet has automatic links I get the message:
"The Workbook you opened contains automatic links to information in another workbook. Do you want to update this workbook with changes made to the other workbook?"
How can I code it so that in situation 1 it skips this file and in situation 2 it automatically defaults to do not update?
Any help most appreciated.

I am working in MS Access 2000. I have a query that is returning a table with various types of data. The problem is I can't seem to find anywhere in the Access GUI that will show me the data types of columns it has returned so I can't manually create a table to hold the values returned by query. Question is two fold:
1. Is there a way in Access SQL to import data returned from a query into a table that is not yet defined. Some like this:
a. Create a table that has a primary key but doesn't yet know the number of columns and/or data types of those columns.
b. Import the data from a query into this table and have it create the columns and copy the data types and populate the table while also numbering each row by primary key.
or
2. Is there a way to find out what the data types are for a table returned by a query in MS Access. I have checked the properites of the query and have been up and down the gui looking but I can't find a way while looking at the data returned by a query to explicitely see the data type (i.e., number, Date/Time, etc..) used by each column.
Any info would help. Thanks.
Hi everybody,
I have recently been doing a conversion for my boss for a access 2000 database (both front and backend) to a MSSQL backend.
I finished the conversion today (as quite a lot of the code / queries ran slow due to access running the queries locally rather than on the server). And tested it on my and my boss's machine with no problems so he gave the go ahead to update everybody to our new mssql 2000 backend with the modified frontend.
This is when the problems started; We had two different sets of forms for accessing one of our databases systems - the log system, one is the original dynaset based form, and the other is a newer set which uses snapshot views and preforms updates via queries. Nobody uses the old dyanset system apart from my boss and one of the administrative team as they have things on that window which they need to see. About 30 minutes into the release of the new database the system frooze up on my bosses computer and nobody could create a new log (the server was timing out). I assumed this had something to do with the old dynaset's creating locks on the table.
I offlined the database and kicked everybody out of the front end, turned it on again and tied again, this time banning everybody from the dynaset system. Within 10 minutes another computer frooze up, again with a timeout on the insert query. I discovered that after you had added a new log to the database it would timeout on all subquent additions (something it hadn't done during testing) . Further investigatiion showed it was the snapshot list window causing the error, so coded the add log window to close the list before preforming the insert query and then reopen it afterwards. This allowed my machine to make multible additions without flaw. So I released a new client to everybody. 15 minutes later it was timing out again, but this time there you could not even make one new record.
I checked for locks on the table though the server management table and couldn't find any for the Log table. I have restarted the SQL server box and with no avil. So I reverted our backend to the access mdb file and told people to use the old client.
I am at a complete lose to why this is happening, if anybody has had any expericences like this or knows the cause please tell me.
Some information on the database in question.
It was made as an access 2 database all intergrated into one file, then it was seperated into two files (frontend and backend). Upgraded to Access 97, then to 2000 before this final update to MSSQL 2000.
The log system has two main tables. The first is the log title / info table which links (one to many) to a log entry table. This problem only occurs on the main log table and does not appear to be reoccurring anywhere else within the database. The main log table has just under 18,000 rows in it.
Thank you in advance for any help,
Dom
Is it possible to have the master datebase in SQL Server, the replica in Access format and still can sychronize them?
Thank you in advance.
We have an Access 2000 backend database resides in a network server drive while users connect to the backend tables with a mde file on their computers. All users have Access 2010 and the mde file was converted from the 2000 frontend with Access 2010.
The database have been running for a few weeks but recently users have been complaining about record lost on the backend table.We have also experienced one incident of data corruption where the main table could not be opened. After Compact & Repair, the table could be opened but a few records were showing xxxxx on all the fields and we have to delete and re-enter these records.Would they relate to using 2010 mde converted from 2000 frontend when the backend is still in 2000? I am a little nervous about converting both the frontend and backend to 2010 since I have heard various issues on the new version.
I have a database (split into front and backend). Users populate the table using a form on the front end. Recently, it has been pointed out that some of the data entered into one specific textbox is being changed on the table. The data entered is always has a minimum of a letter and number value i.e. "A1", "A2" etc. Upon examining the table, this has changed into numeric values i.e. "1291", "1061", "852"... etc. Looks like it is translating them into both 3 and 4 digit numerical values by the looks of things. Where more complex data is entered such as "2(A1, A2)" these seem unaffected.
The field is set to text, I have set no validation rule, format or input mask. Just can't see why access is changing these values. It seems to be translating them, but I can't see a pattern.
Is there a roundup function in access? I need to complete a calculation, using a rounded dollar value. If the dollar value is $15, keep it as $15...if it is anywhere from $15.01 to $15.99, I need the value to round up to $16.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHello Everyone,
I'm using the following on a form in my database:
=(-Int(-Sum((IIf([LineTaxExempt]=Yes,(([Qty]*[Price])+([ShippingHandling])),
((([Qty]*[Price])+[ShippingHandling])*1.06))*100))))/100
In this case, I want to calculate a total for an order. If the
LineTaxExempt field is checked (meaning tax exempt), the total is
figured by the ([Qty] field X [Price] field)+the [ShippingHandling]
field.
If the LineTaxExempt is not checked, then the above total, including
shipping, is multiplied by 6% sales tax or 1.06. I then want this
value rounded up to 2 decimal places. This control is a running total
of the order.
This works most of the time, but I have run into a few rounding errors.
For example:
With exempt checked
1(Qty)X27.90(Price) + 6.44(ShippingHandling) gives me $34.35
instead of $34.34
With tax exempt checked (and multiple lines)
2(Qty)X141.02(Price) + 0.00(ShippingHandling)
10(Qty)X4.12(Price) + 0.00(ShippingHandling) gives me a
grand total of $323.25 instead of $323.24
It's frustrating because it seems like it works part of the time and
rounds wrong the other part of the time. By "rounds wrong", I mean I
set it wrong to round.
Is there a better formula to use in a form or query to round up to 2 decimal places other than the
=-Int(-Sum([Fieldname]) * 100) / 100 method that will give me the right results?
Any help/examples would be greatly appreciated on how to
modify this to give me the correct result each time.
Here are my field types:
QTY
-------
Field: Double
Format: Standard
Decimal Places: 2
Price
----------
Format: Currency
Decimal Places: 4 (some unit prices are 4 digits--Example $1.2525)
ShippingHandling
-------------------------------
Format: Currency
Decimal Places: 2
Thanks,

I 'm downloading the excel data from the site and connecting it to access.
In excel the particular column (Time Taken) is in the format of "00:12:26".
After connecting it to access and appending it to the table, the format changed to "12:12:26", the first two digits changed to "12" and the remaining are as it is how it looks like in the excel. I need to change it to format what it looks like in the excel.
I accidentally (really don't know how I did it) deleted the dollar signs from the entire database that I use daily. I did not set this database up, and don't really know how to much more than enter the data, and do basic stuff. How can I put the dollar signs back on all the forms/queries/reports that I use daily?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've run into a situation with our Access Database where sometimes when we import information into it from an Excel sheet the dollar amounts get rounded out. For example, the amount of $726.68 shows as that in the database but when you click on the field/cell it's in it shows as $726.6799. It doesn't do this for every field which is weird. The data from the excel sheet is not roudned out either, it shows the amount as $726.68 so it appears to be something funny going on with Access. Under the formatting area, the data type is set as currency and format is currency.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have several reports where the currency was always reported in dollars so for the fields in question I had a format of $#,###.00 which printed the dollar sign in front of the amount.
As the system has now become more sophisticated I need to print out a currency symbol depending upon the client. I have a currency table that links into the client so my query 'behind' the report holds the right symbol but how do I get it ito the report. I Know I can define a second field that will hold the symbol but to me this is a clumsy way of doing it. Is there anyway I can put the symbol in the control source for the data or into the format of the field or some other way?
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.
When I try to transfer (ctrl c + v) data from a table in Excel to a table in Access it loses format.
Exemple: $ 1.000,00 (Excel) become 1000 (Access).
I need to keep the format to make sure that the code works properly.
I am working on a massave aplication that has been running in Access 2000, but recently several of the file sharing users have installed Access 2003 because of the limited availability of Access 2000. All the users are using the same file off the server.
The problem we are having is that when we reference a subform in the "[Forms]![FormName]![SubformName]![FeildName]" Access 2003 does not recognize it and returns an error. I have found that if I will modify it to "[Forms]![FormName]![SubformName].[Form]![FeildName]" it is recognized in both 2000 and 2003.
To try and change every instance of a subform reference will take forever and I am garuteed to overlook something. We reference subforms all over our program, missing any one of them would be a disaster. Before I went to the tedious task of looking through everything I just wanted to throw the situation out there and see if any of you had any great ideas on how to get it fixed efficiently. I would apreciate any ideas.
I upgraded a 2000 db to 2003 recently. When I ran the function below it gave me an error on the line in green. Any thoughts? Thanks.
