Is there any way i can increase the amount of columns in a table before importing data? I am importing data from a notepad doc that needs abt 300 columns but i can only get abt 100 columns.
Thanks for any help
Is it possible to increase the number of columns in Access 10?I upgraded MS Office because I knew Excel no longer restricted you to 256 columns. I often pull data from a data base that uses as many as 800 columns.When I try to open these files I get a "too many cross tabs" error prompt.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have developed an Access app, which has different navigational tabs which open up different forms. e.g. Tab A has Form A inside it and Form A has SubForm A1 inside it.
For some reason, the following code is not working on any of the fields Me.YourFieldName.ColumnWidth = -2...
What to do that all the fields in the subforms will have auto width adjustable to fit in the text.
I have a file with 45 columns and I need to be able to make 40 columns quickly dis-appear and re-appear. When I search for responses to similar questions I get references to "Horizontal scroll bar and List Box control" which I do not know how to find and/or use.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a table of data (codes & amounts) which I want to display on a form via a list box (purely for information purposes; the list box will be locked / disabled). Basically, the list box will mimic a pivot table as it would appear in Excel, albeit without any of the filtering functionality.Codes can appear multiple times in the source table, each with a different value assigned to it.
The list box should have 3 columns :the unique code strings
the number of instances of that code string (i.e. Count)
the total value assigned to that code string (i.e. Sum)
In descending order based on the number of instances of each code
I have the following query set up to pull the data :
Quote:
SELECT tblData.Code AS Expr1, Count(*) AS CodeCount, Sum(tmp.Amount) AS CodeSum
FROM (SELECT Code, Amount FROM tblData) AS tmp
GROUP BY tblData.Code
ORDER BY Count(*) DESC;
I want the 3rd column of the listbox (the summed value) to appear as a formatted $ amount rather than a raw floating point. So "$10,000" rather than "10000.00". And, if at all possible, right aligned.But I have no way of formatting the columns of the list box (that I am aware of) either through the listbox properties directly or by VBA indirectly.Is there another way I can do this, either by applying the formatting to the query itself or any other trick to somehow apply the formatting as I need it?
I'm a newbie with Access, how to reorder the displaying of the columns in a Combo Box dropdown list of have in my Access 2007 application.
The columns that are being displayed are (in the current order):
Part Name
Unit Price
Parts.Web_Category
I want the order to be the following:
Parts.Web_Category
Part Name
Unit Price
It has been a month and I'm still 'stuck' on my Microsoft Access lessons due to a peculiar error. I have a video of the error, but it won't let me post a link until I have 10 posts. When I create an action button and then scroll at all, the button jumps in size 50% to the right and down, but this extra space can't be edited. Clicking on the 'extra space' is like clicking the background.
I have tried
1. Reinstalling Office 365
2. Reinstalling my graphics card drivers (Using a GTX 560ti SLIx2)
3. Manually entering the size for the buttons in the button properties (still increases in size)
I have a project where the schedule calls for a web-enabled database for 100+ users to merge five separate systems into one. If I can't get past this problem, I can't continue my lessons.
Is there a way to increase the maximum characters allowed in an expression of a macro setvalue action ?
I have an expression in a macro setvalue action that adds multiple form textbox values. I need to change the form name from "RATING ENGINE 2" to "E RATING ENGINE 2". When I do this, I exceed the maximum characters allowed in the expression. Is there a way I can rename "RATING ENGINE 2" without this problem. The expression is as follows:
[Forms]![RATING ENGINE 2]![Excess Liab Premium 6]+[Forms]![RATING ENGINE 2]![Excess Liab Premium 7]+[Forms]![RATING ENGINE 2]![Excess Liab Premium 8]+[Forms]![RATING ENGINE 2]![Excess Liab Premium 9]+[Forms]![RATING ENGINE 2]![Excess Liab Premium 10]
I have created a form using Create|Form.
I have now opened it in Design view and wish to adjust the width of the controls - text boxes etc but when I try to adjust one, all of the text boxes in that column are adjusted.
How do I individually adjust the widths?
In an .ACCDE I want to store the column widths when user closes a datasheet form (or subform) so that when opening it anew, the widths are as previously set by user. I could store this data in a dedicated table ( and userID, for the multiuser db), but is there a smarter way? Some array/ dictionary/ whatever as database or form property?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've set the column widths properly on the subform, but the down arrow on the list box is still outside of the selection area. It may have something to do with lookups or concatenations, but I'm not finding that so in what I can think of to trace down.
I exaggerated the width of the list box to show where the down arrow actually shows itself.
See the form "frm_Class_Skills_Update" in the attached database. I need it to be visible when the list box is about 1.25" more narrow.
Is it possible to make it so that whatever the dimensions of the image i paste the OLE object's frame will also be the same? I'm having a problem, not necessarily a problem more like a preference, I'm inserting pictures of each individual inside a database and whomever last took these pictures didn't make sure there was a standard size So all the images are different sizes and when they're put inside the OLE frame you can see the image inside it but the frame itself also shows its white background because the image isn't the full dimensions of the frame. I was thinking if it's possible to make the frame automatically adjust to the image's width & height.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi All,
I have a list box and I populate it with records from a "Select" query. I am using VBScript to do this. Here are my codes:
gr1_list.RowSource="Select Criteria from CriteriaList WHERE Criteria='" & cvalue & "';"
My "CriteriaList" table has two columns; Criteria and CriteriaDescriptions.
The question is, what if in my list box I want to be able to see both 'Criteria' and 'CriteriaDescription?' How would I code this?
Thank you.
HI
I have a list box which sometimes needs extensive scrolling to the right to see other data.
Im wondering whether I can freeze the first few columns (key info) so I can trace the other data when scrolling. (i.e. like in an Excel spreadsheet)
I dont mind what coding if I have to - any suggestions please?
I have a "Mailing Labels":

What is the correct way to save the values in a listbox column to the fields of a table? I can use rec("field1") = Me.list16.ItemData(Varitem)and that records the bound column to field 1 but how can I save the unbound columns to other fields in the table?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a listbox set to Multiselect property of Simple. The listbox is populated by using a table. There are 4 columns in the listbox
Code:
1 3/23/2014 4/5/2014 2014
2 4/6/2014 4/19/2014 2014
3 4/20/2014 5/3/2014 2014
The columns are PayPeriod, StartDate, EndDate, FiscalYear
What I want to be able to do is highlight a chunk of dates and have the first selected StartDate and the last selected EndDate populate two hidden text boxes so I can use them for my queries/reports.
I've tried a couple different ways. Each time what happens is it only uses the last item I have selected in it's calculations.
Code:
Dim ItemIndex As Variant
For Each ItemIndex In Me.lstPayPeriods.ItemsSelected
If Me.lstPayPeriods.Selected(ItemIndex) And Me.lstPayPeriods.Selected(ItemIndex - 1) = False Then
Date1.SetFocus
Date1.Text = Me.lstPayPeriods.Column(2, Me.lstPayPeriods.ListIndex)
End If
Next
In this example I tried to have it go through each Item of the listbox. I wanted to check to see if the current row was selected and the row before it wasn't. That way I could determine it was the first item selected in the group of selected items. It would always only use the last item I had selected.
Code:
Dim CurrentRow As Integer
Dim FirstDate As Date
For CurrentRow = 0 To Me.lstPayPeriods.ListCount - 1
If Me.lstPayPeriods.Selected(CurrentRow) Then
Date2.SetFocus
[Code] ....
I tried to do something similar with this code. Again, it only uses the last item I have selected.
I am trying to obtain totals from two columns in the list box into text boxes on the main form, but my third argument is not working as expected.The source of one of the tex boxes is:
Code:
=DSum("Airtickets","T_Training_Participants.ProgrammeID=Me.lstParticipants")
I want to sum only amounts of the records that equal or belong to a selected programme (ProgrammeID) in the bigger list box above.
Hi,
I have a question.
I want to make a action on every 2 hours on the form.
On form time interval, I set 1000
Private Sub Form_Open()
a = "00:00:00"
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Timer()
On Error GoTo Err_mess
timelabel = CDate(a) + cdate("00:00:01")
Err_mess:
End Sub
I want to start 00:00:00, and then add 1 second on every time interval=1000.
eg.
00:00:00
00:00:01
00:00:02
00:00:03
...
...
01:00:00
How can I make it? Thanks.
I have created a table in which there is one column of type memo. When I copy the content in this column it is allowing me to enter only 255 characters. How to increase the length of this column type memo?
I have a query with GroupBy. Is it causing me the damage? How to overcome this situation.
I have a table, tblEvents, which I use to store information about a meeting, training session or field trip, including the [StartDate]. I also have a table, tblEventDays, which I use to store the [DayNumber] 1, 2, 3... At the moment I have to enter the day numbers in the subform frmEventDays manually, but I would like to add button controls to increase/decrease the number of days for each event (i.e. add a new record where [DayNumber] is incremented by 1, and delete the last record if I have added too many day records).
I have added button controls to my EventDays subform and managed to use the macro builder to select and duplicate the last [DayNumber] record, but cannot figure out how to increase each successive [DayNumber] by 1.
1. Add a day...
Option Compare Database
Private Sub AddDay_Click()
?
End Sub
2. Remove a day...
Option Compare Database
Private Sub RemoveLastDay_Click()
?
End Sub
I have a form with multiple fields on it. We will call them SLO
They are text boxes and there are 6 of them named SLO1, SLO2.....SLO6
What I want to do, is use VB to update each as a string to a table individually. But Id like to only type the code once, and use a DO WHILE and increase the value by one. Example.
Current Code looks like this:
Private Sub UpdateButton_Click()
Set rstNewInventoryDataRecord = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Select * FROM MetricData")
Set CurrentForm = Screen.ActiveForm
Dim Counter As Integer
Counter = 1
rstNewInventoryDataRecord.AddNew
rstNewInventoryDataRecord.SLO = CurrentForm.SLOT1.Caption
rstNewInventoryDataRecord.Update
MsgBox "Update Complete"
End Sub
What I want to do is use the counter to increase by one after each loop and stop after 6. So...Do while Counter < 7
And increase the CurrentForm.SLOT1.Caption by one each time.
I've tried
rstNewInventoryDataRecord.SLO = CurrentForm.SLOT & Counter.Caption
and
rstNewInventoryDataRecord.SLO = CurrentForm."SLOT" & Counter.Caption
As well as a few other ideas all to no avail. Is this possible?
I have an 18.8MB Access application consisting of the following:
140 tables
410 Queries
67 Forms
5 Macros
26 Modules
It's not a lot of data storage, but is very computationally and mathematically intensive. As we continue to develop and expand the application, I noticed last week that we suddenly experienced a massive falloff in performance. Access is taking an incredibly long amount of time to traverse the querydefs collection, find objects, etc. It seems that the object collections themselves are not indexed, meaning that it takes a much longer amount of time to run a compiled and saved query than it does to simply build the SQL string and execute from within code. I continue to hunt for coding bottlenecks and any other efficiency problems I can find. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a "critical mass" for the object containers?
Please help if somebody knows the way to increase the character limit of field from 255 to max. possible.
Thanks
