Format As Text In Append Query
Aug 8, 2005I have some code that creates a dynamic "Append To" query. The problem is that when the code is run it creates the query but generates a Data Type Mismatch error. I have tracked this down to a [clientnumber] field which is formatted as text in both the main database and the one the Append to query is updating.
The client number appears as a criteria and this works for finding the client's record but it will not append it unless I enclose it in quotes. When it's in quotes it works fine.
Can anybody give me a clue as to how I can include, in the code, a formatting command that makes the information inserted into the criteria field appear enclosed in quotes. Or-
Perhaps explain why the problem exists when both fields are formatted the same in both the main table and the Appended To table.
thanks
Format A Number As A Text In A Query
Apr 5, 2007Hello,
I have a text file I'm querying that stores a field as a text.
ComponentID:0000000242
I'm inserting this data into a table that stores this value as a number. Thus truncating the leading zeros.
ComponentID:242
I would like to create a query on the table using an InnerJoin on the text file column:ComponentID:0000000242 and the table column:ComponentID:242 as the unique identifier. Doing this join gives a case error because of the different data types.
Can format ComponentID using a query so it reads from my table as 0000000242 and do an InnerJoin to the text file. In vb
String= Format(242, "0000000000")
But I'm finding it difficult to get the query to format this correctly.
Unfortunately, i'm unable to change the column data type in the table structure and am looking for a work around. Is this even possible? Any ideas?
Thanks.
Format Numbers In Query Text Field?
Nov 10, 2005I have a field in a query that contains numbers and text (text field). The numbers displayed come from a percent calculation and display with many decimals ie, .99898745987245. Is there a way to eliminate the decimals with code in the query field? For example .99898745987245 to equal 99%? I can’t format the field as a number or percent because it has both text and numbers. HELP!!
Thanks

Help! Query-report Asks For "format" (?)
Jul 6, 2006Our Access database reports work fine everywhere but on one Windows 2000 computer, and on this computer, only reports have a problem.
Normally, when a report (with currency values) is run, the underlying query asks for "Job Number", then "Part Number", then it runs the report. On this one computer, though, it also asks for "Format", as if the query is lacking something, whereupon the user hits <Enter> (for lack of knowing what to do), and the report appears. In this report, though, all currency values have "Error" in them instead of the numbers. All other computers (W2k, NT, XP) run this stuff fine.
What might be missing/messed up/screwy in this one computer?

Generate Value For Text Field In Report Based On Query
Jan 20, 2008Okay I have a report (rptHorneOstbergQuestionnaire) that is based on a query (qryrptHorneOstbergQuestionnaire). In the report I have a total (HOTotal) which is the result of an expression created in the qry. Based on this result I would like to generate text in a text field (HOType) that is found in the same report.
Basically if the field HOTOtal shows any vaue between:
16 and 30 then I want the unbound text field to show the text Definitely evening typw and so on ...(see case statement below)
I thought I could do a case statement on report open but I am getting an error that my expression contains no value.
Here is the case statement
Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Select Case Me.HOTotal
Case 16 To 30
Me.HOType.Value = "Definitely evening type"
Case 31 To 41
Me.HOType.Value = "Moderately evening type"
Case 42 To 58
Me.HOType.Value = "Neither type"
Case 59 To 69
Me.HOType.Value = "Moderately morning type"
Case Else
Me.HOType.Value = "Definitely morning type"
End Select
End Sub
What else can I do?
General :: Export Query Or Report To A Delimited Text File
Aug 29, 2012A little background. I need to export the results of a query I use to build a report. For Print Master software I need the "Field Names" in the text file as well as the data for a Mail Merge in Print Master (PM).
"The field name information in the file you have specified is missing or not correctly formatted. The first line of the file must contain the database field names. Make sure the "Export Field Names" (or similar) option is selected in the program from which you are exporting data."
Trouble is, when trying to export the report or query, Access has no "Export Field Names" option. It works if I first export to Excel and then from Excel to "txt" then to Printmaster. I would like to eliminate the Excel step. Therefore, how do or can I get Access Export to transfer the "Field Names" along with the field data?

Text Box Format
Feb 18, 2005Hello all -
I have a text box in a report that I want to combine a label and a date field (date field is based on a table). I need to format the date field to be different than the way it is in the table though. I used the "Format" part of the property window to say (mmmm", "yyyy) but it only works if the date field is the only thing in the text box.
Example:
In the text Box, I want ="Medical Record Review - & [Date Added]" where [Date Added] now says e.g., 9/11/04, and I want it to say September, 2004. Putting (mmmm", "yyyy) in the format part of the property window works only if [Date Added] is the only thing in the text box. Is there a way to include both the text and the called field in the text box AND format the [Date Added] field as I need?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much.
Report Format
Oct 31, 2006I have a database that tracks client contact and I have a report that I want to print that shows all the contact a rep has had with the client. I enter the start and end dates I want and the reps name and when I run the report its listed in date order so I might have Jane Doe - 10/1/06 then Jack Jones - 10/2/06 then Jane Doe - 10/3/06 (again) I want Jane Doe - 10/1/06 , 10/3/06 then Jack Jones - 10/2/06 and so on. I'm pulling the information from a query and when I run the query it displays it properly with all the Jane Doe records together but when I run the report is sorted by date. I am in the process of redoing this database and it's on the new one this happens on the old database it works like it's supposed to when I print/view the report.Any thoughts on where to check?Thanks,Rick

Conditionally Format Text Box
Oct 18, 2005Hi All,
I have built a code database where right now I display my sample code in a textbox on my main form. I was hoping to replace the text box with a Rich Text Box. I could then format the code to sort of match what would be shown in the VB/VBA IDE.
I know the Rich Text Box was disabled in Access 2003 for security reasons. I also know that there is another free RTF control. I was hoping to find out how Microsoft intended for us to replace the Rich Text Box. I could use a Web Browser Control but I was not sure of the best way to add this to my form and then feed it the data that was originally bound to the text box.
Thanks for any insight you would be able to provide.

Format Text In Combo Box
May 22, 2006Hi there, I hope someone will take pity on me and help me as I am new to databases so here goes.
I have combo boxes in a form that the user would like to be able to press the Enter key and just go to a new line, not go to the next field. This is so they can have say 4 sentences but have each one on a new line in the combo box. Hope this makes sense.

Coverting Date Format To Text
May 19, 2005Hi
I have 2003 Access Dbase from which some of the fields must be exported as comma deliminated txt and email to a repository.
I need the end user to see DOB, date format dd/mm/yyyy (15/06/1959) but it must be exported as ,15061959,Town,State....etc
Now I have formatted Table, Form & Query Fields (dd/mm/yyyy) and then carefully chosen the text export options...Removing the / date deliminator etc and saved the export format & kind. Included the correct path etc in to a macro and used Notepad.exe to display.
When it displays... as follows...15061959 0:00:00, IT ADDS A TIME?????
Short term workaround I have end user entering 2x IE 01/01/0001 & 01010001 as seperate text field. If I format date as ddmmyyyy then it displays this way for end user of course and not acceptable for other reports
Is there some way I get around this...or code/query/function I can use to convert for export purposes??????
Default Value - Text Or Date? - Yy Or Mm Format
Mar 6, 2005I am hoping someone can help me, a real novice at Access 2000 - I am trying to construct a couple fields in a table, 1 of which will show a default value equal to a 2-digit year (yy) based on the current date. The second will display a default value equal to a two digit month (mm) based on the current date. Text fields would be ideal, but date field could work if it's the only way. Thank you for helping out a newbie.

Tables :: Change Text Format To Yes / No?
Aug 30, 2013I came into a database where the forms have checkboxes connected to table fields that are in text data type. I see that when the checkbox is checked, the value in the field is still -1 in the table. Is there a reason to change these fields to Yes/No data type or just keep them as they are? Are there limitations or problems to having Yes/No values (-1) in a text field?
