Forms :: Force A Start Place In A Textbox
Jun 26, 2014I have a textbox (Odour), that contains one of four words (Cadaver ( ), Drugs ( ), Explosives ( ) or Money ( ) ), the word is written in by pressing one of four buttons, this works fine.
I now want the user to write in between the the brackets and only the brackets. For example:
The textbox contains Cadaver ( ), I want the user to be able to write between the brackets "Blood".
I seem to recall that there is a way of only allowing the user to type in certain places within a textbox.

View 2 Replies View RelatedForms :: Adding Breaks On A Form - Start And End Time
Jun 18, 2014I have an input form for production. I need to be able to have a unbound box look at the start time and end time. I need it to determine if the times fall during a break or lunch. My fields in my table are - ID, Start Time, End Time. Example of what I need the control source formula to do is this. If I start at 6:00 AM and work till 10:00.AM and my break is Start Time 9:00 AM... End Time 9:10 AM. I need it to then show 10 in the box as result of the break. I have this so far as in my formula builder.
IIF([Start Time]<9:00 AM AND [End Time]<9:10 AM, 10, 0)
When I press enter it says I have an syntax error and I have checked to make sure the fields are correct. Also how would I go about adding on to this formula to add a lunch break on to it.
Forms :: Calculate Difference Between Start And Finish Time
Jan 30, 2014I have a subform in which I want to calculate the difference between a start time and finish time, the problem I am having is when the start time is on a different date to the finish time
Start 23:15 on 14th Jan finish 00:015 on 15th Jan, also I want the answer to be the number of minutes. The fields I have are
BatchStartTime Short Time
BatchFinishTime Short Time
BoilTime ([BatchStartTime] - [BatchFinishTime]) General Number.
There are many batches to enter per job and the MainForm has the StartDate as I didn't want to enter the StartDate for each batch.
Forms :: Start And End Date Text Boxes In Search Form?
Nov 7, 2014I have a pair of captioned text boxes for taking the criteria for the search result. Currently the text boxes are tied with a date field. I would like to give the user's choice of a number of date fields. After some research, I believe option group control fits for this purpose. Unfortunately, I never try this function before.
View 1 Replies View RelatedForms :: How To Categorize Quarters Based On Start Date And End Date
Jun 23, 2015I have a DB with Start Date (dd.mm.yyyy), End Date (dd.mm.yyyy) and Quarters. We have 4 Quarters (Jan-March, April-June, July-Sep, Oct-Dec) and extra columns of month (xxx) and year (yyyy) too.
The problem is the front end users have access permissions to modify the dates. if they change the start date and end date then they are manually gonna change other fields like quarter, month and year too (Which they don't want). The users don't need to manually update the column values for Quarter, Month and Year
For Example,
If the user modifies Start Date to: 22.05.2014 and End Date to: 24.06.2014 (then the quarter column should be fixed to 2nd quarter and month should be June and year should be 2014).
2nd Example: We need to consider the End Date for classifying the quarters, Month and Year
If the Start Date is: 22.05.2014 and End Date is: 24.12.2014 (then the quarter column should be fixed to 4th quarter and month should be December and year should be 2014).
The solution is when ever the front end user modifies the dates then automatically the quarter, month and year columns need to be changed.
Sample piece of Access data sheet with just 3 examples. Column names Start date, End date, Quarter, Month, Year.

Where To Start?
Dec 19, 2007This is my first project using Access so take it easy on me. I'm trying to convert the Excel application to Access since I think Access is more flexible/powerful. I'm not sure if this requires programming (VBA-over my head) or just need some complex formulas to get the mission accomplished.
The objective is to be able to copy and paste data from a customized form directly to Access. These data will automatically be added into a summary sheet based on volume and amount.
Thank you in advance.

Where Do I Start?
Feb 8, 2008Im looking at creating a database which includes some sort of diary system but I havent got a clue where to start, how to structure the tables, etc.
I am new to our company so I am looking to streamline some of their processes. Basically there are 4 people in our department and at the moment we use Excel as a mini diary system for our work on a day to day basis (our company uses Lotus Notes not Outlook and the diary system is a load of cr*p, plus also I want to integrate this into a database I have already written for our developers). Going down the page we have a section for each week which contains 4 rows (1 for each person). There is then 5 columns in each section which represents Monday to Friday. Our office administrator then goes in each month and updates the dates manually for the entire month.
Do I need to have a row in my database for every day of the year or is it done in weeks? I did a search for Access diary threads but there doesnt seem to be much info and the example one on iSam seems to have been taken off :(
Not Sure Where To Start.
Dec 7, 2006Hello all,
I am new to Access and I could really use some help to point me in the right direction. I want to organize my tables properly from the start so I do not run into problems down the road. If anyone can give me some advice on topics to read it would be a big help. Here is what I am doing so far.
My database must record warranty claims. A customer could have multiple warranty claims with multiple parts that failed. Each part can be linked to multiple failures but in a claim one part and one failure must be selected.
Example: A motor can fail in many ways but I need to know how it failed for this customer.
I would like to be able cascade the combo boxes so when a part is selected the failures related to that part are updated.
TblClients
ClientID AutoNum PK (1-many with tblMain)
CustomerName text
Address text
(rest of the customer data fields)
TblParts
PartID AutoNum Pk (1-Many with tblMain)
Part text
PartDescription text
TblFailure
FailureID AutoNum Pk (1-many with tblmain)
Failure text
FailureDescription text
TblMain
ClientID
PartID
FailureID
I guess my question is when I make a form based off TblMain, do I need a partfailure table to let me cascade my combo boxes?
Thanks for any help,

SQL Server... Where Do I Start?
Jul 20, 2005I've downloaded and installed the new SQL server 2005 express edition CTD (June ed.) along with the Express Manager.
How do i get an access database into SQL server?
Now that it's installed, what next? When i try to upsize, it asks me to choose a server, and gives 3 options, and i'm not sure where they come from. Where does this list come from? are they previous installations of the MSDE on my computer? are they servers that ar available over our LAN?
i read that the default name if an instance of SQL server express is SQLEXPRESS but that's not on the list...
do i need to create a new instance of SQL server on my computer to house the database?
I really just want to try it, to see if it's something we should do, but i can't get it to do anything at all. i don't know where to start...
I've done some searches, but nothing tells me where to start. I'm getting really frustrated with this....
Please help me...
New Challange, Not Sure Where To Start
Jun 12, 2006Good day all. A bit of back ground, I've built a data base (with much help from the folks here) to track the training of my people. Someone way higher then me has decided to completely revamp our field training. There are now two "tiers" based on rank and training level. My first thought is to make two seperate tables for the information in each tier. What I would like to do is make the training specific to each tier show up on the form that I use to track this training based upon the persons rank. Ie an Airman would only show the tier one tasks and a Master Sergeant would show the tier two tasks. I'm thinking this could be done with a quiery but have no idea how to go about it. Any input or suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance, Tim

View 10 Replies View RelatedStart And End Date
Apr 20, 2006How would you make two prompt boxes which ask for the start and end date so you can select all the data between the two dates...
[Start Date?] And [End Date?]
E.g., 01/01/2006 And 07/01/2006
So I can select all the data between that week. I also need to use this for the remaining weeks in January and February. This is really simple...gah. Thanks guys.
Does Not Start With A Letter
Oct 15, 2007Hi All:given a table with, let's say, Job Numbers that start with a letter (such as RES2345) or just plain numbers (such as 253180001 or 9817) how can I set the criteria in the query to just give me jobs that start with a number?I first trimmed the field to eliminate blank characters and then I used the Not Like "A - Z" but it still gives me jobs with letters at the beginning of the name.thanks for all your help in advance. :D
View 1 Replies View RelatedMsg Box Before Macro Start
Dec 14, 2005Hello,
I have a button that runs a macro to delete records in 12 tables. I want to create a message box before that macro runs warning that you are deleting records in 12 tables and are your sure you want to run the macro.
I need a message box with an ok and cancel button. Where do I put the msgbox funtion in this code?

Start-up Query After Log-in
Apr 23, 2008In my db I have a password log-in for each user. During the log-in process, I have a query set to run:
Code:SELECT tblSetOut.LogNum, tblSetOut.WoNum, tblSetCont.SetContName, tblSetOut.OrdAssign, tblSetOut.WoStat, tblSetOut.ThirdParty, tblSetOut.DateIn, tblSetOut.DateOut, tblSetOut.ThirdTimeIn, tblSetOut.ThirdTimeOut, (DateDiff("n",[ThirdTimeIn],[ThirdTimeOut]))/60 AS [Release if Greater than 24]FROM tblSetCont INNER JOIN tblSetOut ON tblSetCont.SetContInitials = tblSetOut.SetContInitialsWHERE (((tblSetOut.WoStat) Not Like "released" & "*") AND ((tblSetOut.ThirdParty)=True));
It opens up in read-only form that the user can print or exit out of.
What I need to happen is for the query to run based on the user's log-in name. There are three tables involved (tblSetOut, tblSetCont, and tblSecurity). The tbl SetOut and tblSetCont are joined at the field SetContInitials. The tblSecurity (field SC_NAME) is joined to tblSetCont at SetContName.
For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to capture the log-in name to filter the query.
Thank you in advance

I Can't Start Access. Please Help.
Jun 11, 2007This may sound a bit silly, but my Access 2003 refuses to start.
I recently re-installed Office 2003 after a fresh installation of WinXP. Word, Excel etc work as normal. This is the message that comes up when I attempt to start Access:
"Please wait while Office 2003 Prof. Ed. configures. Required data is being determined"
after that nothing happens.
Any ideas?
Please note that I'm using the German versions of OS and Office. My translation probably doesn't match the original message.
Thanks in advance.
Batch File To Start DB
Nov 10, 2005Hi
I want to use a batch file to start the DB. This will check if the Front End is on the users machine and if not copy it over.
It will then check what version of Access they are running and use the appropriate shortcut to open the Database.
This all works fine except that the Batch File does not close down until the Database is closed. Is there anyway to close the Batch File automatically while the database is running?
The Batch file I am using is
@echo off
rem *************************************
rem ** Batch file to copy FE **
rem *************************************
rem ** Copy Database **
if not exist "c:DB" md "c:DB"
if not exist "c:DBFE.mdb" copy "NetworkPathFE.mdb" "c:DBFE.mdb"
if exist "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10MSACCESS.EXE" goto Office10
if exist "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice11MSACCESS.EXE" goto Office11
if exist "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOfficeMSACCESS.EXE" goto Office
:Office10
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10MSACCESS.EXE" "c:DBFE.mdb" /WRKGRP "NetworkPathSecured.mdw"
goto End
:Office11
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice11MSACCESS.EXE" "c:DBFE.mdb" /WRKGRP "NetworkPathSecured.mdw"
goto End
:Office
"C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOfficeMSACCESS.EXE" "c:DBFE.mdb" /WRKGRP "NetworkPathSecured.mdw"
goto End
:End
Exit
Any ideas?
