Formatting A Number Field For Datasheet View
Feb 8, 2012How do I make a number display as "001" and not "1" in datasheet view? The field type is number not text.

View RepliesHello,
I am trying to find out how to view the field names for variables while in datasheet view in Access. Or, alternatively, I would like to know how to toggle between datasheet and design view for a particular variable. Basically, I have a huge database and I need to be able to find the field name for a variable that I have identified in datasheet view, but right now all I know to do is go into design view and guess which field name it is, click on it, see if the caption matches what I see in datasheet view, and keep doing this until I find the match. I did not create this database which is why I am not familiar enough to know what goes with what.
Thanks in advance!
I have windows 7 access 2013, I had a query made, and wanted to add fields to it, so i went into the SQL and added several fields. Only the first one i entered didn't work and on the query is called "Expr1003" when in datasheet view. Its right in layout view, and even when i tried adding the same field in layout view, it made it "Expr1004". spelling is correct, in both source table and query, i don't know why this field doesn't work especially when the others did.

The text values in the multivalue field are displayed in the query, but when I save this and view the data in the subform datasheet view the values revert to the primary key values. They are 1,2,3,4 instead of the text values

I have seen that in some sample db's rightclicking the mouse showed the menu with an option to check or uncheck the dataview option, unchecked the formview was applied, but when i 'just' import the subform, i cannot find somewhere the possibility to change from dataview to formview.
Maybe someone can help me with this, probably very simple(?), question?
I want to "zoom" to the underliyng data from pivot view. When in excel someone doubleclicks a field in a pivot table, it automatically creates a table containing all the lines that field were made up from. I want to achieve the same behaviour in Access.I started to think towards a VBA coda, that could be initiated from the form's double click event. It should go to datasheet view with the prpoer filter criterias.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form which is opened with a filter from another form. For some reason it views the form in form view, although it was set up as datasheet view. I even went to the form properties and the default was datasheet and i made it not to allow other views. This still didnt solve it. I want it to be in datasheet view because i want to show multiple records at the same time.
If u kno how i could resolve this please offer ur help
thanks
Is it possible to format different rows a different color when a form opens in datasheet view?
I have about 30 records (30 days of month) that I would like to have day 5, 10, 20 be a different color.
Syntax would be helpful if possible.
Say I had a list of 20 employees, they can be the employee who entered a record, say that someone told me that their initials were not enough, and they want each employee to be a different color in their field on the subform datasheet.
How do you do this? Conditional formatting only offers 3 criteria, can someone tell me if this is possible and direct me to a post that deals with this? I had no luck searching for one.
Thank you.
when you select the Data sheet View you display error messages in the Accounts Sub reports fields.
The database has been included as a reference:
Forms- Double click Accounts Form By Discipline -data sheet view
Under Current balance,Spent, and Encumbered Columns you get error message instead of the actuall totals.
Please tell me how to correct this prolsdms
Is it possible to switch the view of a subform to datasheet when a command button on the mainform is selected?
I know it is something involving acFormDS...but I cant figure out the rest of the code! I appreciate your help in advance!
(P.S. I know you can right click the form and select datasheet. Unfortunately there are not many people here that are familiar with MS Access and I dont trust that they will know this)
I am reviewing a program that in datasheet view has '+' signs in the left-hand column -- it displays rows of companies. When I select a '+' another 'sub-datasheet view' of employees of that company appears, partially covering the original datasheet view of companies.
Is this the way sub-forms look in datasheet view or is something else involved?
Thanks
Using Access 2010, I have a subform in datasheet view and I want to set the font size to 10pt. Setting font sizes for datasheet fields in the Format tab does not change the font size displayed.
I understand that the font size can be set using VBA (for example: Me.DatasheetFontHeight=10). Where do I put this code for it to work in a) a single datasheet b) all datasheets in the db?
After conditional formatting with every new entry in Datasheet Item Code or Item Description then after row Disc % and Amount default values is shown as #Type! And datasheet is very slow with flickering. If it conditional formatting is remove then working as well. I have attached the Screenshots and dB file ...

Hi. I am trying to create subform in datasheet view with one column (total 3)as drop down list. Is this doable? Thanks.

hi
i have created subforms and set the Default View to Datasheet
Now i have a form where i am adding command buttons on it to load those subforms but They are not Loading it as DATASHEET VIEW.
Any Clue?
Thanks
I have a subform that is in databsheet view. When the user logs in to the db it sets the global variable with the group level they have.
I would like a column to be hidden for a certain group of users and have tried the following.
On the subform opening event i have
if vlevel = "engineer" then
me.Hours.columnhidden = True
Else
me.Hours.columnhidden = False
End If
And i have done the same on the Main Form open event identifying the subform by Form!Subform![Hours].columnhidden = True
But neither worked.
Can any suggest something.
Can anyone tell me how to manipulate a single cell in a datasheet view, or if it is even possible?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have two Access files. One is just forms which I use as a front end app. The other is the database that I store all my tables/data/etc...
I want to run a query to display data from these tables and display it in like a datasheet view. I know how to do this if it was all the same Access file, but not how to do it with two separate files.
Thanks,

I am trying to get rid of the row header (the little square next to a record) when in datasheet view.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI created some forms in datasheet view. Now I want to change the datasheet properties (background color, text color...): the problem is that the forms I create with the new properties are displayed as I want, but the old forms are displayed with the old properties.
Does it exist a command to open the old forms/subforms with the new properties or do I have to re-create all the old forms?
I'm using access 2003 sp2 with all the current updates. I've got several tables linked to a sql server 2000 DB. We use it for an app called Altiris. Most of the queries i've written from these various tables work fine. However, a couple of them for no apparent reason, do not display the correct data in the data sheet view when the query is ran.
for example, I have a simple query with two tables linked. The first field is asking for the "name" column of one of the tables. In the criteria of that column, I put something in to limit the names of the programs i'm looking for. Lets say I use LIKE '%adobe acrobat 7.0%' When I run the query, it returns a certain number of records, but in the name column, it has all wrong info. I just ran it and it came up with 4 records: "webcast....", "abacast client", "Ibm websphere", and something else. Nothing even close to "adobe...."
So then I export the query to an excel spreadsheet and then open. Guess what? It has the correct info. Four records of adobe acrobat. The other column I have is from the other table and is just listing pc names. They displayed properly in both datasheet and excel file.
does anyone have any ideas what could cause this? I've deleted the table and linked to it several times. I've used this table for many other queries and it works most of the time. I just have no idea what is causing it to do this for only a few queries.
Thanks in advance for any help.

In my db I am tracking different stages for an event. I have a subform that is in datasheet view. The last field (current) is a yes/no check box that says that this entry is the current stage of the process. In one of the fields I have a afterupdate event that says me.current = true. But what I need is to change the previous entry to show that stage's current to be false.Does that make sense?Date Event Location Current02/01/07 Drying Dryer X (when next event added this =false)02/05/07 Bagged Warehouse XUp until I enter the 02/05 entry the 02/01 entry was the current stage and I want a check in the current box. But when I enter the 02/05 entry that now becomes my current stage so on the 02/01 event then current = false and on the 02/05 event current = True. I can get the 02/05 event to show current = True but how do I make the 02/01 current =False?Thanks,Rick
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a table that I was in the process of cleaning up when I got the following errors: "type mismatch in expression" and "microsoft office access can't open the table in Datasheet view." What does this mean, and how can I get rid of these errors? Thanks.
View 1 Replies View Relatedhello,
I also posted this in the report section, but it doesen't seem like the readers over there have any answers. I'm hoping maybe query people will.
I'm working on someone elses database, and I'm not too familiar with access.
He's got this form called Customer_Select, and when you click on a check box for a customer, it's option value is recorded in a field called Product, which then corresponds to the product/customer id located in a table called CustomerCharacteristics.
The problem is that I just realized that this Product field existed. When I view the form as a datasheet, I see the fields: Product, Lot_Nr, Version:, and Last Update:
However, when i look at the field list for the same form in Design view, I get: DateTime, VersionDisplay, and Description.
Does anyone know what's going on here? I need to reference the Product field in a query I'm modifying, but the expression builder can only 'see' the fields that are visible in design view.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
