I have a form that lists evidence items 1, 2, 3, ect....
The form is listing them 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 2, 3, 4, 5...
I have tried right clicking the evidence item # field and doing a sort a to z, and it is still listing them the wrong way.
i have a simple datsbase with 2 fields - drawing number and description.
the drawing numbers are in the formatt STD123 e.t.c.
When I try to sort numerically the order ends up as
STD1
STD10
STD11
STD100
STD101..........
How do I get it to list in true numeric order in report and table view i.e.
STD1
STD2
STD3.......... Please bear in mind that my knowledge of Access is VERY limited. I've tried a search and don't understand about queries and such like. Even so I'd have thought that even the most basic database programmes would be able to handle something as simple as an alpha/numeric sort list....seems not!!!!!

I am trying to figure out how to sort a column in access the same way it comes out in excel.
I have a text list of "buildings" ie: 89, 33, 270C, 270B, 270A etc. In excel this simply sorts alphanumerically ie 33, 89, 270A, 270B, 270C.
I made the mistake of changing the format from text to number, lost all the data and successfully scared myself into not wanting to experiment anymore so any input I could get would be very appreciated
Our software was purchased with a volume license, so I want to make a combo box with all of our volume license purchases and when the person selects the volume license number all of the PCs that have software purchased with that volume license are displayed.Below is my code
Private Sub cboVolumeLicensing_AfterUpdate()
'Moves to Volume Licensing field and
'finds records where "Volume Licensing" matches whatever is selected in the combo box
DoCmd.ShowAllRecords
Me!cboVolumeLicensing.SetFocus
DoCmd.FindRecord Me!cboVolumeLicensing
'Set value of combo box equal to an empty string
End Sub
The Query is Volume License Query and it is composed of Main Table and Volume Licensing Table connected by serial number on the main table and volume license on the volume licensing table..The combo box is volumeLicensing .And the form I am trying to do this in is called Volume License Form
I am after creating a list box that will display some of the tables within my database - there are between 10 and 15 tables and the names all follow the same pattern (They all start "tblD10").
View 1 Replies View RelatedI saved my form with a particular name and I have used that name all throughout my code and it still works fine. But when I open that form, the name I see on the top of the form is not that name at all. It's actually some value I gave a combo box a while ago.

Using Access 2010. I have a form on which I've placed a simple label. I try to set the label border color to black but it shows grey. I can set the border color to #000000 and it's grey. I set it to #000001 and it shows black as expected.
I'm thinking it has something to do with the themes, but shouldn't an exact color code show as expected? As a new member (<10 posts) I can't post an actual link, but here's the text of the location: [URL] ....
I have a database which is used to search for products by its specifications, i have set up cascading combo boxes to work in the following order.
Profile
Thickness
Width
etc.
So the current row source of one of the Combo boxes is SELECT DISTINCT [tbltestv2].[Thickness] FROM tbltestv2 WHERE ((([tbltestv2].[profile])=(Forms]![Run ratev2]!cboprofile]))
This basically means that it will search for whatever thicknesses are available in the selected profile.This is the one that works fine although it is not sorted numerically. I.e 1, 1.2, 12, 2, 2.5 where I want it as 1, 1.2, 2, 2.5, 12
From here I amended the order by so that it will sort it numerically, In the row source I had the following expression.SELECT [tbltestv2].[Thickness] FROM tbltestv2 WHERE ((([tbltestv2].[Profile])=[Forms]![run ratev2]![cboprofile])) ORDER BY Val([Thickness]), IIf(Val(Right$([Thickness],1)) =0,Right$ ([Thickness ],1),""); The issue with this one is that it shows duplicate data for instance 1, 1, 1, 1.2, 1.2, 2.5, 2.5, 12, 12, 12
I know that if the beginning of the expression is SELECT DISTINCT it will eliminate this however, the SELECT DISTINCT is conflicting with the ORDER BY and it will not let me do it.
Hi all.
I've created a database which contains information about stores. I want to have the forms automaticly sorted by the department number.
I've tried to sort the table by department, but when I try to add a department, the sorting doesn't seem to affect the form at all.
Lets say I have department 1,2,3,6,7,8 in the form, and I add department 4, it will be the last post in the form. I want it to be the fourth, and so on..
I'd apreciate some help with this :) Thanks
Here's the database (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=12934&stc=1&d=1142018915&PHPSESSID=f730b7f11f6983965698faeacbe5a1ee)
I have a form which displays an incorrect form name in the header/tab when in form view - its always correct in design view. Somehow it chooses to display the name of another form I have in the database. I have tried saving the form to a new name, this does not solve it. I have also tried saving the other form from which the name seems to have been borrowed, but this makes no difference. Incidentally, now matter what names I give the two forms, the original (incorrect) form name persists. I have tried compact and repair and vba debug. No effect.

How I can sort a field in Forms??
I have a combo box on my form where Row Source=Facilitators and Row Source Type=Table/Query. "Facilitators" refers to a one column table named Facilitators. This one column table contains a list of last names of a dozen or so staff members. The field name of this column I just left as Field1 (the default name). In table view I sorted the last names in ascending order.
When I open the combo box on the form itself, the list of names appear in random order instead of keeping the ascending sort order that I initially applied to the table.
I know there is a way for the combo box to keep the sort order in tact, but I can't recall what it is.
I have a combobox which lets you select from a list of pseudonyms. Each pseud belongs to an author; authors can have multiple pseudonyms and exactly one main pseudonym. This is the table structure (picture of relationships attached below):
Code:
tblStory: StoryID (PK), AuthorID (FK), Title, etc.
tblAuthor: AuthorID (composite PK, autonumber), MainPseudID (composite PK)
tblPseud: PseudID (PK, autonumber), Pseud, AuthorID (FK)
The combobox list shows all the pseudonyms and then stores the corresponding AuthorID. At the moment, the pseudonym displayed in the combobox (once a selection has been made) is simply the first alphabetically for that particular author: for instance, if a story has AuthorID = 5, and Author 5 goes by anon, anonymous, and unknown, the combobox for that story will display "anon".
How can I make the main pseudonym (tblAuthor.MainPseudID = tblPseud.PseudID) be displayed instead?
Control source is tblStory.AuthorID
Row source:
Code:
SELECT tblPseud.AuthorID, tblPseud.Pseud, tblAuthor.MainPseudID
FROM (tblAuthor LEFT JOIN tblPseud ON tblAuthor.AuthorID = tblPseud.AuthorID)
LEFT JOIN tblStory ON tblAuthor.AuthorID = tblStory.AuthorID
ORDER BY tblPseud.Pseud;
I know I can sort my combo box in ascending or descending order. I have a list of items that I want to order by product code but in a specific way. The order I would like is product code 1 followed by product code 9 followed the rest in ascending order. Without having to change tables or even the product code(!) is there a neat way to do this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedCan you have a saved (unsorted) query as a row source for a combo and then add some code to enable the combo to sort the list?
Reason is, I want three combos to use the same query for finding records in different ways, but need the query to be saved, not a query built by the query builder that access takes you into from the row source on the combo data tab?
I only need the data listed in each of the combos to be sorted by one column in each of the combos.
Have seen something about bubble sorting, but not sure if this is OTT or even could be applied to this?
FYI, this is not a cascading situation.

Hello
I have a table with a list of lectures and the dates and times they are running. I then have a related table which lists the feedback marks and comments for each lecture. I want to enter them via a form and have set up a form with the the lectures and then a subform for entering the feedback. This all works fine. However I would like to be able to have the lectures listed by date order and wondered what the best way is to make this work so that the user can simply scroll through each lecture on the form and it automatically goes through the list by date.
I hope this is clear and thanks for any help.

I'm trying to use the following code to programmatically sort four fields on the continous subform:
Code:
Me.SPlanChange_03_OFFSET.Form.OrderBy = "AOBJ ASC, ORG ASC, AVAILABLE DESC, AGFND ASC"
Me.SPlanChange_03_OFFSET.Form.OrderByOn = True
It appears that the code works partially - the values in the "AOBJ" field are as they be and so are the values in "AVAILABLE" field. The values in the "ORG" and "AGFND" fields will not sort.
Is what I'm trying to do even possible?
I have a BackUp and Restrore from BackUp procedure in my my database.
I can backup to a spreadsheet and the spreadsheets are renamed to include the date of the backup.
When I restore from the backup an unbound combo is populated
Code : Set SourceFolder = FSO.GetFolder("c:GPandDetectionDogTrainingLogBackUp")
This all works, the only issue being, is that I want the most recent backup to be at the top of the list, at the the moment its at the bottom.
is there a way of implementing a sort order, bearing in mind that its an unbound combobox.
Hi,
Having recently correlated the impossible pile of photos that I have on CD, including a lot of re-naming etc... I have now managed to get them down onto DVD.
I there an easy way to import a directory listing into an access database other than inputing the lot by hand? I don't wan't to add thumbnails just the file name and the directory it's in. I can embelish other details later via ASP, just need the bulk of the work done easily.
I have some experience of database design but not huge amounts of programming, other than the ASP side of things so if anyone has a complex answer please go gently with me!!!

Hello,
I currently have a DB that has a field in a table that records which shift (A, B, or C) that some data was collected on. I am trying to write a Query in order to filter the results so that either the data from shifts A,B, or C show up, or if "All Shifts" is selected, then all the data shows up. I have another table set up that records the shift selection from a form. I was trying to use an Iif statement but it does not seem to be working for the "All Shifts" option. Selecting "Shift A" or "Shift B" etc. works fine.
IIf([ShiftSelect]="All Shifts","Shift [ABC]",[ShiftSelect])
**[ShiftSelect] containts the users selection for which shift they want to view.
I have also tried this with a wildcard statement (Like "*") instead of "Shift [ABC]", to see if I could get any data to show but I still get nothing when "All Shifts" is selected!
Let me know if you can see the problem, or know another way to go about this query!
