I have created a sub form in a form that allows data entry for order details. I have a column that holds order amounts that automatically rounds up or down, and I don't want this. I have examined the back end table properties for this particular field, and the number field is set to general.
View RepliesI have created an Access 2007 database that uses a form for data entry. While the data is stored on the table exactly as entered, the data entry form rounds up and only displays the whole number.
In the properties of that form field, I have the format as fixed, with decimal places as set to 1 and is visible. However, the number still rounds. What do I need to do differently to make the number display as entered on my data entry form?
I have a field that holds a unit price. I can't use currency as the data type because the currency type is different for each client. I have another field that specifies the currency type for each department. Up to now I've been using a double format with a 2 decimal places. We now need to increase the decimal places to 4 but don't necessarily want to see all four places if only 2 are required - 1.5000 against 1.50. However if I make the decimals as auto, if I have 1.50 it rounds to 1.5.
Any other way to give a bit of flexibility to this?
Thanks.

For some reason I cannot enter decimal values without the number rounding up or down. I've already set it to 'Number' and 'double' and have also tried 'Fixed' set to 2 decimal places. Right now the only way it works is if I set it to 'Text'. However I need to do some calculations with these values eventually.
What's strange is I have another table in the same database that is NOT rounding and is working just fine.
I have a field that sums pounds. I need to convert this to tons (rounded to the nearest 3 decimals), then multiplied by $67.50. This will calculate a fee payment.
This is what I have now:
Code:
=Round(Sum([Hazardous_Waste]/2000*67.5),3)
The total pounds is 2675.
After dividing by 2000, Access generates a number of 1.3375. It rounds 1.3375 to 1.337 which generates an incorrect final total. Not sure how to alter this to round properly.
In my database (access 2007) I have code similar to this
Dim Ulaz As String, Izlaz As String, UkKol As String, UkFin As String
and at the end of the code I have this
Me.NC = UkFin / UkKol
Me.NC respresents avaerage price.
If for result I have 0.498 value, I would like for that value to be shown as 0.50. In another words, it must be rounded to two places.
How can I do that in VB? That value will be passed to NC field on Form, however..
Hi,
I use the built in tools "Analyze data with excel to export" to export data from froms to excel and it works fine. The only problem is in the form and table I had specified 3 decimals but in excel the data is two decimals and I have to always reformat the cells manually to 3 decimals.
Any way to have this set when exporting even if I have to use VBA code.
Thank you.
I have a stockist which includes " stock number", " description"
When I use these parts to create a "bill of materials" for a job I am presently selecting the material and this data is going into the table and the stock number just goes in the form not the table, is there a way that when I select the "stock number" the material will still go in the table and the stock number stays on the form. or also go into the table
The reason I want to do this is because the stock number is easier to remember than the description ...
G'day All,
I have a table that allows for data to be automatically imported into it or manually entered. When data is automatically entered into the table the number field shows the number as a decimal, but when I manually entered data into the column it rounds it up or down to the nearest whole number.
I have checked the the decimal place setting on the particular item and it is set to allow for 2 decimal places the format is fixed and the number itself is Long integer
Any help would be a appreciated.
In a form I have Two fields (which are of interest):
1) EmployeesName which is a lookup from another table named
TBLEmployees that contains two Fields
EmployeesName
EmployeesNumber
2) Second Field named EmployeesNumber which currently also using a lookup from table named TBLEmployees
if possible what I want to try and do when I select EmplyeeName from the dropdown list of names I want the EmplyeeNumber to be inserted into this field automatically rather than searching through the dropdown list again is this possible?
I have made a form with a subform to search for existing records based on inputting a postcode then selecting the relevant address from the subform which then fills the form with details of that chosen record ready to issue a further package linked to that original record.
To prevent errors and confusion by the users I coded the following:
Private Sub CmdFindAddress_Click()
If IsNull(Me.TxtPostcode) Then
MsgBox "You need a Postcode to use this button. Please type one in."
Me.TxtPostcode.SetFocus
[Code] ....
'Where the postcode entered does not exist in records or if there is a mistake typing in the postcode, below will remove residual record details from previous postcode ready for a new postcode search:
For Each ctlCurr In Me.Controls
If ctlCurr.Tag = "clear" Then
ctlCurr = Null
End If
Next ctlCurr
Me.Refresh
End Sub
.........
The problem is that if I test the system by inputting a postcode where I know there are no records, the CtlCurr is highlighted and the error message is:
Compile error: variable not defined
..........
This does not happen if I have already selected a postcode so the record fields are filled and then change the postcode - so the record fields are cleared.
Previously, entering a postcode which did not match existing records generated the "there are no records...." error message instead. How do I define CtlCurr?
I would like to update the Previous Education tab based on values on the Courses tab.The aim of this is to keep a clients previous education upto date in order to append it to a CV etc.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm still very new to Access.I have a form with subforms.Some of the fields are calculated fields.I cannot figure out what some of the fields will not update automatcally. Once I click out of the form and then back in, it will update.Tried many things like, Refresh, Requery both on the form and on the text box(es).I wish I could figure out how to attach my test database to show you.

I have 2 similar numbers in a table with the following parameters:
Double, Fixed, DecPlaces = 2
One number (GLminor) = 0.10
Second Number (GLmaj) = 0.50
When i use the following code to create and pull the numbers from a recordset the (Gmin) is OK and displays as 0.1 but the (Gmaj) has a problem and displays as 0. So when i'm attempting to use it in an equation (OtherNumber) / (Gmaj) i'm getting a divide by zero error.
Code:
sSQL1 = "SELECT * FROM tblRScales WHERE ID = " & RScaleID
Set rs1 = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset(sSQL1, dbOpenDynaset)
rs1.MoveFirst
Gmaj = rs1!GLmaj
Gmin = rs1!GLminor
I've tried using CDec(OtherNumber) / CDec(Gmaj) and still get the same error.
As both numbers have the same properties in the table parameters i'm completely lost as to why one seems OK while the other seems to round down to 0.
I prepared students details in access, but when i look the form view students particulars looks automatically (like name, age, weight and address). But what i need is students details has to come after I enter the name.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there anyway to turn off the rounding function in calculated fields - I need to divide a currency amount by a whole number to calculate the number of full coin bags that will be needed (bags contain different totals according to the coin value) - a whole number.
Then the result is used to calculate how much loose coin will remain.
But regardless of the field type and/or the format, the number rounds when I reduce the decimal places to zero. I need the result to be the whole number and to calculate as the whole number.
I have a list box that is fed by a query. I have fields that are stored in the table as numbers (Type is Double and Standard Number with 3 decimal places).
In the tables I see the numbers 10.000 which is correct, in the query is see 10.000 again correct, however the list box on the form only shows 10.00?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a form to input data into a table1. On the form I have a combo box to read from a next table exchange rate to input into the table1. Field in Tablet for the exchange rate is set to Field size double, Format currency, and decimals 6.

I am new to Access and I am developing a form. I have already read and found useful resources on internet but there is something I am not able to sort out.I have seen that the limit of fields I can enter in Access is 255 and my survey is far below that number.So no issue at all when I created the fields in Data view.However, the issues started when I created a form.
I created a form by Create>Form.The last few fields, at the very bottom of the form, are squeezed onto each other as if there was not any space available. Is there a limit to the number of fields I can have in a form? There should not be if I am allowed to enter up to 255 fields. How can I go about it? Should I alternatively create 2 forms? I would rather not to though.
I have a table that has fields for number input
On my form I have in a TAB form 3 fields to input a figure, in the table these are set up as a Text NOT a Number. If i set it as a Number it keeps rounding up? even after i enforce 2 decimal places it still keeps rounding up.
Field 1 - 42988.62
Field 2 - 0.00
Field 3 - -14330.84
I then created a unbound txtbox so I can add these up
=[ResBF]+[ResRefReC]+[ResSurDef]
what i get in return is this :- 42988.620.00-14330.84
I also tried =Sum([ResBF]+[ResRefReC]+[ResSurDef])
and that just comes up with #Error
I even tried in the table directly to have a calculated field and still having the same problems.
I'm trying to multiply the values of two number fields together, but it is not working. I used to be able to do this easily in earlier versions of Access. Here's the problem:
On the form, I need field A x field B to appear in field C. I've tried this as an expression in the build event function on the control, but it is not working. My code reads as follows: = (field A) * (field B).
I search around online and did come across much info on code to how to hide fields. But, the problem is I cant seem to find a way to hide a certain amount of fields based on a number amount.
example: Lets say I have a 12 text fields to show 12 months of monthly payments, and lets say a client only has a 3 payment term. How can I list 3 under installment field and have remaining 9 fields auto hide since they wont be necessary? this way I only see what applies and not additional text fields.
I want to know if there's a way to sort alphanumeric fields where the number of digits aren't always the same.
Example: I have the following: 2a, 10a, 3a.
Currently, it sorts: 10a, 2a, 3a.
Is there a way to get it to sort 2a, 3a, 10a without adding a 0 before 2a and 3a?
I am having trouble figuring out the method to automatically update some fields in SubForm from 2 other SubForms.I have attached 2 pics, the first GradeEntry1 shows what the tblTopic_Class_Grade form looks like after I manually enter everything into it. GradeEntry2 is what the form looks like when I fill out the Form starting at the top.
I'd like the tblTopics_Class_Grade form auto-populate the TrainingClassID (it currently does this), TopicClassID, StudentID, TrainingTopicID based off the entry from the above forms.My end goal is that I need to have a grade for each student on each training topic for each class. Like:
Class1-Student1-Topic1-GradeX
Class1-Student1-Topic2-GradeX
Class1-Student2-Topic1-GradeX
Class1-Student2-Topic1-GradeX
