Forms :: How To Prevent Multiple Lines In Field

Apr 13, 2015

Ive had a recurring problem with one of my databases

ive got a form with a subtable on it, the subtable is very important as much of the DB's data is entered in there.

every once and a while one of the users will be doing data entry and on a certain field (a short text field if that makes any difference) theyll push enter instead of tab, to move on to the next field, enter creates a new line instead of moving to the next field, when a new line is created the user will either assume the field is blank and retype the data or ignore it entirely and move on

the trouble is one of my queries completely fails to work when there are multiple lines in this field (comes with a data type mismatch error)

is there a way to prevent the field from being able to contain multiple lines (like a property setting or some VB code?)

Queries :: Multiple Lines In A Field?

Jan 8, 2014

I've exported some data which has 3-4 address line within the same field which is very odd.

The row has all the usual data, but when I look at the data in datasheet view the adresss line 1 shows only but when I click into the field and press down, more address info comes up. Is there any way to have this on one row within the field rather than multiple.

A bit like in Excel when you Alt+Tab in a cell it drops down but is the same cell, well this exactly like that in Access 2003.

Forms :: How To Break Update Statement Into Multiple Lines

Mar 7, 2014

I am unable to break the UPDATE statement into multiple lines and now I am getting "Syntax Error in UPDATE statement"

Following is the multiple line Update Statement

Dim strsql As String
strsql = "Update tblcurr" & _
"SET tblCurr.Currencyname =" & _
"[forms]![updatecurrency]![txtcurname]" & _
"WHERE (((tblCurr.Currencycode)=" & _
"[forms]![updatecurrency]![txtcurcode]));"
DoCmd.RunSQL strsql

Following is the one liner Update statement which, works perfectly

strsql = "UPDATE tblCurr SET tblCurr.Currencyname = [forms]![updatecurrency]![txtcurname] WHERE (((tblCurr.Currencycode)=[forms]![updatecurrency]![txtcurcode]));

Forms :: Duplicate Lines In Multiple Form And Query

Jul 8, 2015

The purpose of my database is to keep a record of training activities undertaken by staff. There is therefore a multiple form which displays, for a specified worker, the list of all the required activities. Each line has a button which opens another form to allow an activity to be started (together with start date and other info). The main tables are Worker, Activities, and a junction table Worker2Activities. On closing the second form and refreshing the first one, the started activity is correctly recorded, but on as many lines as there are staff on the course. To make matters worse, these also appear when i then select another worker (and if i create another worker, the number of lines goes up by one for all of them). The Worker2Activities table correctly show one new record created

Forms :: Prevent Duplicates From Multiple Drop Downs In Access 2013

Jul 28, 2015

I'm in Access 2013 and I built a form with multiple drop downs. Here is what I have in the same order of which the user must choose from......

Document "Field Observation", "Monthly Inspection", "Safety Roster" (The user must first choose the document from this drop down he is recording)

Supervisor "First & Last Name" (The user then chooses the first & last name of the specific Supervisor name he is recording the document for from this drop down)

Manager - This field automatically populates based on Supervisor.
AOR - This field automatically populates based on Supervisor.
Org Unit - This field automatically populates based on Supervisor.

Month "January", "February", etc. (The user then chooses the Month of which the document will need to be applied to)

I would like the form to trigger an error with "This document is already recorded for this month" when the user chooses "Monthly Inspection" OR "Safety Roster" for a specific "Supervisor" for a specific "Month" that is already recorded in "TBL_DataTracker". The TBL_DataTracker is where all of my records are stored.

Forms :: Prevent Wrapping In Memo Field Box?

Aug 28, 2013

Is there a way I can prevent wrapping in a memo field box?

I have a memo field with a list of email addresses and usernames however the email addresses often just wrap around the end of the memo box just creating a new line in the memo box rather than properly showing the email without the wrapping.

Even if the message scrolls out of the box, id rather that then wrap the text.

Also is there a way in which I can enable someone to open the "ZoomBox" whilst the text box is locked/disabled.

Forms :: Prevent Duplicate Entries Of Field On Input Form

Nov 24, 2014

I have recently started working for a new company and have inherited a nightmare of a system!

I have basic knowledge of Access and have been asked to stop duplicate entries under the same PO Number.

I have tried using DLookups by looking at other posts on the forum with no success.

The input form is called Purchase Order Entry, with the field called PO_No. The table is called Orders, with the field called Purchase Order Number.

I have tried to make the Purchase Order Number in the Orders table, the primary key but an error that it cannot contain a null value appears.

The Purchase orders may not be entered into the database in numerical order also.

Multiple Lines In Text Box

Dec 14, 2004

i'm no noob, but i'm also not the expert, what i'm trying to do is this,
i'm taking multiple string out of an recordset and putting them in one big text box
but the problem is that after every record there has to be an enter in the text box
So for example:

record 1 =
-bla bla bla
-tja tja tja

record 2 =
-waa waa

my result in the text box must be:
-bla bla bla
-tja tja tja
-waa waa

and not (like it is now):
-bla bla bla
-tja tja tja -waa waa

who has a clue? chr(11) & chr(13) do not work, i activated "on enter go to next line"

thx in advance for helping out

Importing Multiple Lines Of Text

Aug 27, 2007

Good morning. I am new to coding VBA and need some help if possible. I need to import a Comma Delimited Text file into a MS Access table. The records vary in length and may take up multiple lines of text before the next record. The first field contains the type of record and are all prefixed 1###, with the ### being variable. (1001 - 1100). If the record goes over one line the 2nd line with start with 1000. Here is an example: The records with 1001 continue to the next line with 1000 so you know it continues. The other records are all single lines starting with 1100, 1003, 1004, 1006...1017.

Split One Record Into Multiple Lines

Mar 10, 2013

I have an access form that is used for cash-ups. The cash-ups are not done on a regular basis and the owner requested that the database look at the last cash-up date, current cash-up date and calculate the difference in days and then calculate the average take per day by dividing the total take for the period by the number of days from the last cash-up date to the current cash-up date. This was simple and is done however, what he now wants is to export this data to another table and have it split the total amount per record by the average number of days and reflect the average amount per day over as many lines.

Eg: R5,000.00 / 20 days = R250.00 per day.

This data needs to be displayed in TWENTY lines each with a value of R250.00.

Write/update Multiple Lines Belongs To A PO?

Apr 18, 2008

Hello all,

How are you? Hope everything is well!

I have a question. If I have a form, which has underlying source is the table LineItem. The table has these fields PO#, Line Item, Cancel check box, and Cancel Reason list box. Each PO can have 1 to multiple line items. Once in a while, the users need to cancel certain line items and type a reason in the Cancel Reason box. When the users click the Cancel check box, it force the user to enter a reason.

However, in cases, some POs have 10-100 line items, and the reason are the same for all line items, and it is time-consuming and tedious to do one by one. I would like to find a way to enter reason in line 1, for example, and copy/update the rest of line items in that same PO with that.

Please advise HOW and WHAT COMMAND should I use to update the text in one field of one record (line item) to ALL other records (line items) in the same PO.

Please help! Thanks so much.

How To Keep Multiple Lines When Importing Data From Excel To Access

Sep 7, 2011

I face a multiple line problem when i try to import data from Excel to Access db. Is it possible to keep multiple lines of a cell after transferring to Access. Since Access see any ceel of Excel as a Field, it takes all the lines as a line in the same row.

In enclosed, you can see a sample Access document. I put a point(.) between every lines in the same field manually. Is it possible to split up those data from these points and make a new line in the same field by VBA? For example,

BEFORE:

1) 232N1635-2.2) 412N1168-7

AFTER:

1) 232N1635-2.
2) 412N1168-7

Import Text File / Multiple Lines And Varying Delimiters / Size To One Record

Aug 22, 2012

Using MS 2007, I have a 200 text files exported each day from another application that has two different types of lines (see below). I would like to import each text file in to a database as a single record.

Text file example (text.txt):

R111 WC 8/21/2012 7:00 Doe, John doej 10110110

First Question? Y
Second Question? N
Third Question? Y
...
Seventeenth Question? 10

As you see, I have the first row with multiple fields, but the next rows I have a question and an answer.

I would like to have this data imported as shown in the attachment. Example.zip

Most answers I see are for either multiple lines (same data and sizing). I am not sure how to handle several different lines with that vary in size and delimiters.

How To Prevent Duplicate Profiles With Multiple Tables

Oct 30, 2014

I am creating essentially a contact database; however, I want to be able to upload new groups into the database from time to time. Some people in the groups may already be listed somewhere else. If I am using an ID number to identify each separate profile; how do I prevent a duplicate profile entry? Will I have to manually check each one? Also if I use the auto-number function, how do I tell access to create a new set of numbers that are different from ones previously assigned? I anticipate about 30 separate groups adding up to around 5,000 names. I don't really care to check that many manually.

Automatically Removing Lines When A Field Has No Value

Dec 28, 2011

I'm using a query to concatenate data from a table into a specific HTML format. I would like, however, to find a way to remove lines of HTML when there is no data in a specific field.

Example:

If I were to create a list of available colors of a shirt like so:

<ul>
<li>[Color1]</li>
<li>[Color2]</li>
<li>[Color3]</li>
<li>[Color4]</li>
</ul>

but if there were only 3 available colors, I'd end up with this:

<ul>
<li>[Color1]</li>
<li>[Color2]</li>
<li>[Color3]</li>
<li></li>
</ul>

I need to find a way to get rid of that last vacant tag. I image there's some kind of code I could write (if x is null, clear line17, or something like that) but I wouldn't even know where to start with that.

General :: One User At A Time - Prevent Multiple Users Accessing The Database

Feb 13, 2015

Twice a year, a database of mine is accessed and put too use by various staff within a time range of 1 week. the database is on a shared drive and in a location which can be accessed by all.

The staff access the database from different workstations and in some instances at the same time.

This has only led to issues in the database being copied and then confusing staff on what database to click on thus i have 2 databases which i then have to sift through and copy/paste into the correct one.

I want to know the best way i can:

1) Prevent multiple users accessing the database at a time.
2) making a copy of the original and typing into a separate database.

Queries :: Sums Up All Previous Lines In A Field

Feb 9, 2014

I have a query that displays the difference between the number of scanned and processed invoices for each date (invoices scanned minus processed). Now I would like to make a query that for each date based on this shows the total backlog accumulated.

Example table:

The first column contains the date, and the second number of invoices scanned minus invoices processed.

2014-01-02 53
2014-01-03 -15
2014-01-04 24

Would it be possible somehow to make a query that for each lines shows the complete sum of all previous lines?

Based on the above data the result should be:

2014-01-02 53
2014-01-03 38
2014-01-04 62

Or would I have to write some VBA code to create some kind of temp table?

Ordering Lines Within A Memo Field By Date/time

Dec 7, 2006

I have a memo field which records the events that happen on a form. So for example when a user changes the assignment from one user to the next, a row is written to the memo field indicating date, time, windows logon and then a brief description

Basically I end up with :

07/12/06 11:16:34 kleaves : Assigned user changed from Joe Bloggs to John Doe

At present every new row is added to the memo field at the end, so the most recent action is at the bottom.

How can I sort this so that most recent is at the top.
