I have a database where I have a number from a client. We copy/paste it from a pdf file. The number has dots in it (1.00.00.000). I would like to create a solution that when I paste the number in the field and go to the next field, it will take out the dots from the number.
View RepliesI have a form where I combine several fields in 1 textbox. At the end there is an amount. It should look like below:
The total cost of the products is EUR 29.342,45
I have the following formula in the textbox:
Code : =" The total cost of the products " & [Currency] & " " & [TotalPrice]
It would be great if the TotalPrice could be with the dots and coma in the correct way.
I tried to format it, but it was giving me nothing, the numbers stayed the same.
I have a form for rentals where I have fields for car details and for client details. I have a list box for clients so that when I enter the Client Id I automatically get all the records filled out on the form, from the clients table...
This works but the problem is that sometimes I have a new client who rents a car that is not on the database so I insert the client details manually on the rentals form without filling in the client ID as this client does not exist on the database.
The problem comes when I want to save the form it wont allow me to leave the client ID field blank... I imagine this is because of the relationship...
how to stop user from leaving field without selecting item or entering data
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a downtime database that tracks units down, time on, reason down, etc. When a unit goes down, I log the name of the unit and the time down in separate fields. When a unit goes back on line, I log the time on and the reason in separate fields. All this is in a form. When the unit goes on line, I want the user to be forced to enter a reason only after he has entered a time on, not before. The “reason” field must be left blank until the unit is on. How do I do that? I have searched the forum for this and have not found leaving a field blank based on another field’s data. I will supply whatever you need to help me. Thank you.

I have a data entry form that has one field that cannot be a duplicate. So, in the table I have it Indexed with No duplicates.
The problem is that the form doesn't notify the user that they have entered duplicate information until they close the form. So the 10 minutes they spent filling it out is wasted.
So, after consulting various posts, I did a BeforeUpdate event with the following code:
(the field that must be unique is called "LS Number", in the form "Q and D" based on the table "Q and D Database")
Private Sub LS_Number_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
On Error GoTo LS_Number_BeforeUpdate_Err
If (DLookup("[LS Number]", "Q and D Database", "[LS Number]=Forms![Q and D]![LS Number]")) Then
MsgBox "The LS Number you entered already exists. Enter a unique LS Number", vbInformation, "Duplicate LS Number"
End If
LS_Number_BeforeUpdate_Exit:
Exit Sub
LS_Number_BeforeUpdate_Err:
MsgBox Error$
Resume LS_Number_BeforeUpdate_Exit
End Sub
When I test this by entering a duplicate LS Number, it gives me the error "Type Mismatch." Unfortunately, I have no idea what this means, nor do I know how to fix it.
Please help, my head hurts!
I had two fields in my table which I previously used in the form. I deleted the fields from the form itself but the fields are still listed under Field List and not even under any table...
Delete buttons doesn't work on it, and neither does backspace?
How do I remove it? Right click only gives me two options:
"Add Field to View" or "Edit Record Source" which returns an error saying this command cannot be used.
GOAL - I would like to have one text box where I enter a sentence
txtKeywords: Access Is For Smart People Smarter Than I
I would like to create a button when clicked moves txtKeywords into another textbox [txtKeywordscombined] field and removes the spaces between the words and adds hyphens
txtKeywordscombined: Access-Is-For-Smart-People-Smarter-Than-I
Would I use the 'Replace' command in even procedures to do this? Another way? Example?
Should they implement them or not?
They are the small green rectangular things underneath a users number of posts. In most forums they are used as a ranking system judged by a users number of posts.
Where is the button with the three dots located in access so when i go to form desing i could add that button to the form for look up.

Any way to get rid of them?
I've been using MS access to lift some text files for a number of years
I have now got an issue where by the new machinary is very clever and has alittle server to collect the data. Machine1_127.0.0.1, Machine2_127.0.0.1
Previously I picked them up via ftp and downloaded the data into a text file called Machine1.txt
Now I can run a server where by the Machine1_.txt is created locally on the processing machine
however the software included ( which I can't change) just creates text files like so Machine1_127.0.0.1 and now the link doesn't work when I create the link access throw this:
"Microsoft Jet Database engine could not find the object c:Path to fileMachine1_127.0.0.1.txt. Make sure the object exists and name and Path are correct"
If I manually copy the file and rename it to machine1.txt all is good
Any offers/thoughts or suggestions, the path is quite deep at present and that could be changed.
I can't import the files either? unless I rename them and at the moment I am doing this through the interface
Is there a way to remove data from one or multiple fields if the value of a separate field IsNotNull?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI do a query to remove "." from a list of my servers. This works great, but for every name on the list without a "." I get an error in the output. Is there any way to remove these errors from the output, so I only see the data that has been properly pruned down?

This is, I think a very easy question: What would be the apropriate form event to use when leaving a record on a single form (When you press next record for example)
View 3 Replies View RelatedI made a Table with one record per person which is entered initially and contains a sub-table which is a list of the drugs they are taking. As people are notoriously bad at spelling drugs they select them from an alphabetacised drop down list held in another table. The idea being that they check the spelling before entering them on the main table for any new drugs. The subjects each come back and have a number of measurements taken on a number of visits.
So the main table and the drugs table have a one to many relationship and the main table and the visits. In both cases the tables are linked by the same unique identifier which is compulsory and unique in the master table. The data is input using a master form and sub-forms.
I havent done any of the input but when I looked at the two sub-tables they each have a number of records which are blank in the identifier feild.
How has this happened? How do I stop it happening and is there any way of finding out which record these visit data and drugs should belong to?
Hey guy im kinda new to this program so excuse me if my question is simplistic:I built a form for making Purchase orders. In the main form...a user enters a bunch of text/num info (name, address, ect)into the table. After that i have it tab to a subform..where a user can add items by line (as many as they like). All good till here: Once i go to click out of the subform...i get message "You cannot add or change a record b/c a related record is required in table 'UCT_Req'"My relationship has a 'one-to-many' link (the req number to the many line items). I have auto-numbers counting up in each table.My main problem seems to be attaching the entered line items to a specific record in the main Purchase order form...and then opening a fresh form afterwards. Any hints?Thanks folksSTeve

I am trying set up some criteria for a create table query. I am using multiple fields from different tables, I am trying to delete certain feilds if they meet the criteria. I am using iif([letter c_last]=[letter a_last],null,[letter c_last]) in the criteria for letter c last, but when I run it a box appears to enter criteria for the last name field? I want it to look at the field not for data to be entered manually. I hope this makes sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a table that for some reason when I imported the data, placed some spaces before about 75% of the numbers in only one column. I need these numbers to be exactly the same as in another table because I use this number to compare to records and import other data depending on the corresponding numbers.
I tried doing a find and replace, but for some reason it doesn't find the spaces to replace. If I type in the space and the number, then in the replace with type only the number, it works. But I cannot do that since there are literally 10's of thousands of different numbers.
Someone mentioned a "LTRIM" command. Does this work within Access and if so, how does it work?
Thanks,

Hi,
I have a SearchResult Form, it only display search results.
one of the field in this form is a LookUp field (Nationality).
and LookUp fields, as you know has this arrow next to them.
and since this form display only the results, i don't need this arrow. how can I remove it?
i tried using a text field, but it will only display the code of the nationality because the discription is in another field (that's why I used a lookup so I can select the discription in the Row Source) and text field dosn't have Row Source.
Please Help!
Thanks,
CS.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a field called "SC" with a value 13-251. I need to remove the "-" ending up with 13251. I tried using, as a starting point, Mid(String, Start, Length) with no success. I found this in another topic, and thought this might be close to what I was looking for. I sure did not know how to use it. When I selected the run command I got the following response:
Query must have at least one destination.
I tried a few different things like adding an extra field and different pointers but I doubt if I'm even standing in the batters box.
