In my table i have a field ID here are values like as 123456 234345 233434
I wanna make report with this table, here ID field will be shown up with space every number
Example : file value : 12345
I want in report : 1 2 3 4 5 6
I need the auto number to be in specified format as ASI-23-0001. So I added the format "ASI-23-"0000 in the formats and I got it succesfully.The fueld name is "Part Number"
I have added the Part Number field to a form as combo and I was able to list the values in the drop down combo.
I wanted to use Dlookup command in the program to auto fill the next field in the form say "Description".
I am using the following code
Me.Text30 = DLookup("[Description]", "item_master", "[Part Number] = Form![Combo36]")
But now the data in the combo is treated as text because of the prefix "ASI-23" and I get data type mismatch error.
I am exporting data from access 2007 to Excel 2007 using VBA code. I have a whole number, which I want displayed as whole number. But after the export, the number is using the 1000's seperator in Excel. So for example if my original number in access table is 12000, it is showing up as 12,000 in the excel file.It has something to do with the NumberFormat property. I have tried doing this but doesn't work.
objSheet.Range("A1:A7").NumberFormat = "General"
I wanted to assign the field "Number of magazine" with special format based on date/time format but showing only year and month in the format: "yyyy-mm".
So in property of this field in format I put yyyy-mm and in input mask I type 0000-00;;-
I also created the form based on the table containing above field and I defined format and input mask for corresponding formant in the same way like at the table.
But if I try to type date for example 2014-01 in text box of the form it comes up with the full date 2014-01-01. Why does it do like this? What do I do incorrectly?
I have a list of dates in the mm/dd/yyyy format and I am looking to get it into the fiscal format of yyyyww. I am able to do this with the datepart and format functions, but I need to make it so that the fiscal month begins in January but the first week starts if there are three or more days in the week. For instance if Jan 1st is a Friday then this stands as the first fiscal week, if it is a Saturday then it does not count as the first week.
datepart and format functions have the Use the first week in the year that has at least 4 days for the firstweekofyear option but I need it where it has at least three to make it work.
How can I remove the white space that follows the last record in my datasheet forms? Please refer to attached image. This happens in two different forms, scrolling in two different directions.

how to remove the white space between fields. See attached image for an example
So far I have tried hiding gridlines, setting them transparent, removed margins, removed padding, and setting just about everything that is to do with borders to transparent in the properties list.
None of the above seems to affect how the fields display, in fact turning gridlines on and setting them really thick and a different colour doesn't change how it displays. Is this a bug with conditional formatting in Access, or am I missing something obvious that's overwriting my formatting selections?
I need some input on what to use for a field that contains a range of IP addresses, and have it sort numerically by octet. I currently have that field assigned as text, but were not happy with the sort order. I've played a little with the number format type, but still did not get the correct sort order. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was about to post a question yesterday, but I found a solution myself and would like to share it. When a new column is computed in the query, there is no way to prescribe the data format of the computed column (=field =variable). It is done automatically by access and it can go wrong. I tried to use Format() function but it changes the look but does not change the type of the column. So what you have to do is to wrap your expression in a data convertion function. I used CDBL() as a wrapper for my expression.
I consider it as a bug of Access because in my situation I had a swich() function that took only numeric fields and produced only number but the data type of the column was set to TEXT. I noticed it in the pivot table later on , when I could only use Count() as aggregate function.
Good luck! and take care of data conversion by yourself, do not let it go automatically!
P.S. If anyone knows a better way to prevent such conversion errors, be my guest!!!

I have been confronted with a strange fenomenon in comboboxes.
I'm working with access2000.
I put a simple combobox in a form.
The row source of the combobox is a table and the first field of this table is a number.
The bound column is 1.
When I select a record in the combobox, that number appears, it all seems to work.
However, when I reference the content of the combobox via a query, I receive strange characters.
When I ask for the ASCII value of that character, it is mostly 49 (1) or 50(2).
When I set the column width to zero, the references just work fine.
When I change the format to text, everything works fine.
Can someone explain why this is happening?
I include a simple database to show what is happening.
Look at the queries.

I have a checkbox that determines whether or not to display certain form controls. How can I also hide the resulting white space that comes from hiding the form controls?
Can I put all of the controls in some sort of container and hide the container? The form objects are all displayed in order, so it shouldn't cause issue.
Can I create a subform for the objects and hide it? This would make the main and subforms based off of the same table.
Occam's Razor would be the preferred philosophy in this case. Nothing too fancy is needed.
Hello,
I have a text file I'm querying that stores a field as a text.
ComponentID:0000000242
I'm inserting this data into a table that stores this value as a number. Thus truncating the leading zeros.
ComponentID:242
I would like to create a query on the table using an InnerJoin on the text file column:ComponentID:0000000242 and the table column:ComponentID:242 as the unique identifier. Doing this join gives a case error because of the different data types.
Can format ComponentID using a query so it reads from my table as 0000000242 and do an InnerJoin to the text file. In vb
String= Format(242, "0000000000")
But I'm finding it difficult to get the query to format this correctly.
Unfortunately, i'm unable to change the column data type in the table structure and am looking for a work around. Is this even possible? Any ideas?
Thanks.
hi
I'm no expert and can't seem to find what i'm looking for.
i have data i enter into a text box. the data might be in the format

David Roberts, 12/12/2006
OR turn
David Roberts, 12122006, 56
to
David Roberts, 12/12/2006, aged 56
any ideas??
I'm working along the lines of instr, mid, etc. but i'm not sure of the correct procedure
thanks in advance
I am trying to format my Number data type to look like this: 0001 / 2013 where "0000" is the prefix, 1 is the number and " / 2013" is the suffix.
Tablename: tblclients
Field Name: DelNoteNo
Data type: Number
Form
Control Name: DelNoteNo
Control Source: DelNoteNo
I am searching on this forum but I can't get it working.On the Before Up date procedure i have:
DelNoteNo = Nz(DMax(DelNoteNo, "tblClients"), 0) +1
but its is giving "invalid use of Null "
I have a form which I would like to enable scrollbars both horizontally and vertically (the main reason being, the application is designed for users with large / wide screens but may at some point be required on smaller screens)
Currently I have the scrollbars switched off and the form maximises but everything goes to pot if I resize the window. I'd like to add the scrollbars so if a user wants to resize the window to, say, half the screen, they can still scroll across to the 'hidden' parts of the form.
The problem with this is, if the form is maximised - or at least large enough to show the entire form - the area of the screen where the horizontal scrollbar resides is white (whereas the background colour of the form is a pale green) Which is quite unsightly.
I know I can remove the problem by removing the horizontal scrollbar and the navigation bar (which is already gone!) but then I can't scroll?
Is it possible to have a horizontal scrollbar but not have that white space at the bottom when the scrollbar is not required?
(Doesn't appear to be a problem with the vertical scrollbar?...)
I have a datasheet on a form that is unable to show all records in the size allowed. Consequently it has a vertical scroll bar. However, the scroll bar allows scrolling to the bottom whereby there is white space almost the same size as the data records. The horizontal scroll bar does much the same.
Is it possible to just show the records and only the width of the data in them.? No extra records exist in the table to cause this.
Hi there,
I have imported in an excel table into access. It has a lot of numbers that have many digits after the decimal place. I want to cut this down since they are prices to just 2 decimal places.
Problem is that access imports the fields as Text fields. when i go to change the columns that i want as numbers it looses the information after the decimal place for example 1.1156834 when i click Number (long integer) and standard format it is converted to 1.00 loosing everything.
This is getting really really fustrating now.
When i import there is a drop down list but it is disabled where i can change the column property (number, text etc) so cant do anything about it.
any help would be great...

View 1 Replies View RelatedWondering if anyone can advise...
The 1st/2nd Jan of this year were treated by most people as still being week 53 of 2004, and week commencing 3rd January being week 1 of 2005. In VB I have a formula to do this:
WeekNo = Format(Now(), "ww", vbMonday, vbFirstFourDays)
However my problem now is that I need to replicate this format in a Query within Access. The formula
WeekNo: Format(Date(),"ww")
treats 1st/2nd Jan as week 1, the 3rd as week 2 etc. Any idea how I can get it to treat 3rd Jan as week 1 instead?
There's a challenge for someone!! Help appreciated.
Is there a way I can format AutoNumber for a primary key, for example, have the first ID start as C001 then for the next entry Access will automatically go to C002, and so on and so forth?
