Format Field

Jan 25, 2008

Hi,

I have this code which makes all the data displayed on the form in this respective field capital letters e.g John will be displayed as JOHN and saved as so.

However, what i want to do is only make the first letter as John not JOHN. How can I change the code?

Me.surname_forename = UCase(Me.surname_forename)

Thanks

Forms :: Assign Field With Special Format Based On Date / Time Format

Feb 17, 2014

I wanted to assign the field "Number of magazine" with special format based on date/time format but showing only year and month in the format: "yyyy-mm".

So in property of this field in format I put yyyy-mm and in input mask I type 0000-00;;-

I also created the form based on the table containing above field and I defined format and input mask for corresponding formant in the same way like at the table.

But if I try to type date for example 2014-01 in text box of the form it comes up with the full date 2014-01-01. Why does it do like this? What do I do incorrectly?

Format Date Field

Feb 19, 2007

I saw a thread once that explained how to format a date or phone number field after you've entered the data, but I can't find it again.You do it so that you don't have the __/__/__ or the ___-___-____ pop up in the field and don't have to worry about inadvertently starting typing the data in the middle of the field instead of the beginning.Anybody know where that thread is at, or know how to do that?

Format Variances Within Field

Mar 11, 2008

Is there a way, either in a form or report, to modify the format of a text string within a field?

Basically, we are gathering text data using a memo field (due to the amount of data) and would like to highlight sections of the text by making it bold. It does appear that in Access a field is all or nothing in terms of formatting.

Can one put characters that would identify the start or end of such a string in the data itself?

Thanks.

Calc'd Field Won't Format?

Aug 11, 2006

I have a calc'd percentage field in my query. This is a multi user app and the problem is that is can (and does often) happen that the numerator information for my calc gets entered before the denominator data and therefore the calc'd field shows and as an error.

I attempted to use a simple IIF statement to input a message rater than the error code but now the field will not format to Percent. It worked, I got the message to display and it calc'd the records that had data, it just will not display in percent format. It does let me set the format to percent, it just doesn't display and does not allow the decimal places to be set.

This was the line:
CalcPercent:[Numerator]/[Denominator]

This is the new line:
NewCalcPercent:IIf([Denominator] = 0, "Message", [Numerator]/[ Denominator])

I've tried to search for an answer and I'm sure it is going to be something simple that I've overlooked.

Any thoughts?:confused:

Format Field To Date

May 17, 2007

I have two tables that I import that have both a date field and a time field formated as text. date field looks like yyyymmdd and time looks like hhmmss. I am using two append queries that combine the data into one table and I need the date and time fields to be date and time format respectively. When I run the query as is I get no values in either the date or the time field due to a data tyoe mismatch. My question is how do I convert the input table date and time text type fields to date and tie format for the append query.

Thanks for the help

Queries :: Format Field In SQL

Aug 28, 2013

If I'm working strictly from SQL, is there a way to format a field as currency, standard number, etc. without using the format() function? Basically the equivalent of setting the format in the property sheet in design view, without going to design view.

Change Field Format Using VBA

Sep 21, 2014

I have a table that contains information along with a field named "Date Input" and then a calculated field called "Due NLT Date". New records are appended to this table daily. The calculated "Due NLT Date" field is simply "[Date Input]+5".

In some unforeseen circumstances the "Due NLT Date" field needs to be extended to 6 or 7 days from the "Date Input". I am trying to find a way adjust the number of days using a command button/VBA getting the desired number of days either from an input box or from a txt box on a form.

I have been playing with using SQL ALTER TABLE in VBA but can't get it to work.

I'd image it would look something like this but how to write it correctly:

RunSQL ALTER TABLE "table" FIELD "field" to calculated "[Date Input]+ & input box "Enter number of days""

Access Field Saying Not In Proper Format

Nov 26, 2007

I have a field (date field) that when I try to imput data will tell me that that what is being imputted is not in the correct formate or to large for the field settings. It is in the right formate etc. Is the field size applicable to just that field or overall everything entered in that field in the whole database? It's a decient size data base and I'm wondering if everything in that field is over the size, but then how can that be?

Help!

Changing Field Format Defaults

Jul 5, 2005

Does anyone know how to change a field FORMAT default? I am creating lots of tables with lots of number format fields. I don't, however, want a zero default value (or any default value for that matter) for all of these fields. I can go in and delete them manually, but that seems like a backward way of doing things. Does anyone know how to elimate that default value from the format of a number field in general?

Thanks!

Create Field With Fixed Format

Jul 18, 2005

I need to show two decimal places on a form based on a recordset of a table that has a field - type = double, format = fixed, and decimal number = 2

I need to show 101.00 and 102.00 so if user insert a record, record would have a sequence id of 101.05.


How do I create that field by code? The table is part of a system loop that it changes everytime thats why I have to recreate the table again and again.

I can do the double, I cant do the fixed and decimal number.

Please please help.

Thanks.




NEVER MIND, I FIGURED IT OUT.

Instead of including it with the code, I tweaked how the form displays it.

Thanks.

How To Format A Field In The Select Statement?

Sep 1, 2005

Hi!

I have a table called myTable and it contains two fields Year and Month. Both are type of integer.

Now in my select statement, I like to combine these two fields in to one and name it as period and it will have the format, for example 200501, 200502, ..., 200512. How can I do that in Access query statement?

I know how to do this in SQL Server 2000. That is:

Select Convert(varchar(4), [Year]) + right('00' + cast([Month] as varchar(2)), 2) as Period from myTable

How can I do that in Access Query statement?

Please advise.

Aijun.

Duplicating Field And Format Change

Feb 9, 2007

First off a big thank you to this forum... have solved a lot of questions I have had and some I never knew I had. Keep in mind this is all from a non-programmer so my question(s) might not be technically sound.

The issue I have is I have built a database to track documents that we process. It is uses an autonumber and that has worked great. The issue is eventually this document gets processed in our accounting system and I want to retrieve data from there and add it to the document record.

I figured out how to like the ODBC database and that worked, but I get an expression error. The field in the ODBC database is text and in Access it is an Autonumber.

Is there a way to copy the autonumber field and change it to text property to align with the other database?

All help welcome and appreciated.

How To Format A Field On A Form As Date ?

Mar 15, 2007

I am using ODBC with oracle tables..

My table has columns startdate and end date which are of type varchar(backend tables)..but when i display it in form it should display it as mm/dd/yyyy format, i tried setting format property as Short date but that doesnt work as my form is based on a query.and all the more my table stores the date as yyyymmdd -19990110, this is the way its stored in table (in varchar) so how do i do this?

i also tried "to_date(substr(startdate,5,4),'mmdd')" --putting this in the query based on which the form loads but this doesnt work even..
i cannot run this query from access as it says undefined function to_date , but when i run this in Sqlplus it gives me the output but i m not able to get the year part...

So how do get the date field in form as mm/dd/yyyy?

Thanks very much in advance!!!

Reports :: Unexpected Field Format

Tables :: Web Address Field Format

Sep 24, 2013

Designing a table of companies.

Need a field containing the website adresse for each company.

MS-Access 2013 does not offer such a field format.

On a form I can create it, click on it and it will open the website.

But that way it opens the same website instead of different websites for different companies.

I tried the hyperlink format but it did not work.

HELP!!

Format Text Field Data As Date

Oct 6, 2006

Well I have been searching but have not exactly found the answer I need so:

I have a linked table in my database. One of the fields on the source table is a date field but the data type is Text. So there is data in the field that represents dates but they are formatted as text like this:
090506
101106
120506

I need the field data to behave as a date, any ideas? I can't change the source data type.

Then...at some point I want to produce a query that shows all records with a date earlier than the current days date...in pointers in the right direction on that will be appreciated also.

Thanks!
