Is there a way of formatting the caption used for the heading (page descriptions) for the different tabs on a tabbed form? I would like to make them bigger/bold. I thought there would be a property that would let me make changes. Probably a simple thing I am missing.
Thanks.
Is there a way of changing the column heading names on the split form portion of an access form. I tried changing them using a query to populate the form and changing the caption of each field in the query and that didn't work. I also tried adding a [Caption] at the design level of the table and that had no affect also. The split form seems to be displaying a portion of the actual field name or something like that.

I created a csv to allow me to update sage act witht he contents. The problem is that the csv file adds the Field Headings which is causing act to fail to recognise any of the data to import.
When i created a blank csv file without these headings, the data was recognised and available for import. My question is... how do i get rid of these headings?
Thanks

Looking for a way to list / print column headings in a table.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using Access 2000. I have created a crosstab query to run monthly reports based on a fiscal calendar year. My problem is that my column heading is a parameter [Fiscal Period] that returns the fiscal week #s as column headings and they change for each fiscal period. I cannot find a way to list these in the properties box as column headings and therefore they will not display as field names and I cannot create forms or reports from them. Can anyone help?
View 11 Replies View RelatedHi,
Was wondering whether its possible to control the appearance of pages...
I have a main form on which I have about 7 pages. When the main form is in the FORM-view, the headings of the pages are 'hidden'. One has to scroll up in order to see them.
As certain users of the database will be using Access viewer and thus only see this main form, it would be convenient if I could make sure that when the MAIN form is on, the headings are not hidden. So, it's a layout problem.
Any tips on this?
Thanx Stacey
Is there anyway to change the justification of text in a table heading on in the contents? I've searched high and low for an answer but can't find it.
Also, can a table heading have different text & colour than the table contents?
Thanks.
Hello,
can the following be done? :confused:
I have a one-rowed query, with the following column headings and values:
(see pic1)
I want similiar columns to be grouped and their respective values to be summed.
I.e.
(see pic2)
Can someone plese tell me how this is done in SQL?
I could just add the columns manually through the Design-View, but this would cause that new column headings that are added in the future to not be reflected in the query.

I have about 10 columns with data in each column...the columns dont need to show every time. I want to set it up where the user pics the column heading from a drop-down menu and then that column alone will show, none of the other columns are visible...can this be done?

I have a created a crosstab query which gives me the results I need, but I want to sort the row headings differently. These are not numbers, but machine sizes which range from 4 Metre to 20 Metre. Currently, the crosstab gives me:
10 Metre
12 Metre
14 Metre
17 Metre
20 Metre
3 Metre
4 Metre
5 Metre etc
But I need to show it as:
3 Metre
4 Metre
5 Metre
10 Metre
12 Metre
14 Metre
17 Metre etc.
The field is short text data type and data comes from an ODBC linked table to SQL server table, and I am using Access 2013.
I've setup some crosstab queries with good success and set column headings that appear with blank spaces when there's no data as expected, but I have 1 report that is formatted with set row headings (its a specifically formatted report that i need to produce, that i can't just change).So I need to basically do the same but with the row headings set (I have got the crosstab working, just not showing the rows with no data as yet).
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a query that creates a table.
I then use another query to sort and remove duplicate entries, using the 'Totals' option Group By and Last.
I then export the datasheet to an Excel spreadsheet.
All goes well, except that the headers on the spreadsheet show LastOfXXXX or GroupByXXXXX. Now I can run a replace function in Excel to remove LastOf and GroupBy from each column header, but it would be more useful if the replace routine was performed prior to the export to Excel.
I have a Graph that uses a crosstab query to generate the data. Its only a simple query. One of the fields is project type, but in the query this changes to a number instead of text? I would like to have this as text but don't know how to go about it. I have searched forums and tried Allen Browne's suggestion on specifying column headings but no luck.
I have attached the initial query and the crosstab query in the screen shot as well as the graph. My aim is to get the project names in the legend, instead of 1, 2 as shown.
Not sure if there is a quick answer but I am trying to complete a crosstab query that references a lookup table. I cannot remove the lookup tables because the database was designed by a consultant. The lookup table is referenced as the column heading. The query works fine until I change the column headings in the properties box - it returns the column headings but there are no values. Am I doing something simple wrong or is it having troubles because it is a lookup table for column headings.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have inherited an Access 2003 database and have been asked to improve the functionality of said database. Specifically, I have been asked to create some charts for improved reporting. I used the wizard to create a crosstab query to support the chart(s):
Code:
PARAMETERS [Forms]![Switchboard]![ActualDate] DateTime;
TRANSFORM Sum(qryPMCompletion.CountOfWOs) AS SumOfCountOfWOs
SELECT qryPMCompletion.PA_Priority
FROM qryPMCompletion
GROUP BY qryPMCompletion.PA_Priority
PIVOT qryPMCompletion.wo_Completed
WITH OWNERACCESS OPTION;
Now what has happened is that the wo_Completed is a Yes/No field so my column headings and therefore my legend comes up as "-1" and "0" instead of "Closed" and "Open".
Is there anyway to change the name of the column headings or shall I just create my own legend?
I found the following code to copy the results of a query to the clipboard.
Code:
DoCmd.OpenQuery "DataLoadTemp_qry", acViewNormal, acEdit
DoCmd.SelectObject acQuery, "DataLoadTemp_qry"
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSelectAllRecords
RunCommand acCmdCopy
DoCmd.Close acQuery, "DataLoadTemp_qry", acSaveNo
It works great, except that it is also copying the column headings. Is there any way to copy only the results without the headings?
I'm copying this data to the clipboard because I want to be able to paste it in a program called DataLoad which will load this data into one of our company's legacy systems.
I currently use the following to import a csv file into a staging table and then append and save the data to a table - however it doesnt use the headings from the csv file and creates an error table and a blank record where the headings should be apart from one column where it copies the name.
Would it be possible to use the headings as field names or just omit them completely and use the standard f1 f2 f3 etc access generates in the tmp table?
Code:
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
.Title = "Select the CSV file to import"
.AllowMultiSelect = False
.Filters.Clear
.Filters.Add "CSV Files", "*.csv", 1
.Filters.Add "All Files", "*.*", 2
[Code] ....
I've been able to find the code I need to import the file, but there are headers that come through from the group sending the excel file that will not import - they have a "." in them and that won't work. I need to find a way to remove the character and bring the excel header in line with the access table I'm importing to. I'm using the following to import the file:
Sub Example()
'the path to the excel workbook
Dim strExcelPath As String
strExcelPath = "C: est est esting.xls"
'import data from excel
Call DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet(acImport, _
acSpreadsheetTypeExcel8, "testtable", strExcelPath, _
True, "A1:AA11")
End Sub
And that work fine up until it hits the offending headers. what is a good, quick bit of code to plug in to alter the headers and what, if any references would need to be added?
I have a link to a "csv" file. I then run a query to exclude some rows.
Then I need to export the query result as a text file with quotes (as text qualifier) and semicolon (as delimiter). This is not a problem. The problem is, that I only need the text qualifer for the data in row 2+ and not the headings.
The data export should look like this:
ID;Contract;Date
"1";"4700001360";"20150618"
How can I specify this export layout in the export wizard?
I'm relatively new to access. I have a database i created for my school project everything works fine until I try running a query with 2 or more tables, the queries return a datasheet with all the table headings but no data content, I ensured that there is data in the tables that I'm trying to join for the query.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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?
I have a list of dates in the mm/dd/yyyy format and I am looking to get it into the fiscal format of yyyyww. I am able to do this with the datepart and format functions, but I need to make it so that the fiscal month begins in January but the first week starts if there are three or more days in the week. For instance if Jan 1st is a Friday then this stands as the first fiscal week, if it is a Saturday then it does not count as the first week.
datepart and format functions have the Use the first week in the year that has at least 4 days for the firstweekofyear option but I need it where it has at least three to make it work.
