Formulas To Values And Then Storage
Dec 5, 2004
I am hoping someone can help with the following...
I have a form which calculates values based on (of corse) the info entered on the form and some subforms for example...
here is one of my formulas
=Form!QuiltTypes!QuiltPrice*[TotalInches]
I am assuming that because this is a formula the value will not be saved in the table... or at least its not doing that now.
Can someone tell me how I can move my formula values to my table for storage?
This is my first time here so if you need more info or anything please let me know.

Desperate help required - I am about to throw my laptop out the window, closely followed by myself!!!
I am self taught and rely on books or perseverence normally so apologies for lack of technical terminology. I have spent days on this to no avail- I believe this needs to be some sort of array formula but am open to any suggestions and advice!
Problem;
I have two workbooks, I need the result of the scary formula to be shown on the summary sheet in one field.
I need the formula to look at the other sheet and recognise (for each of the 100 or so rows) if the entry in column G is "F" or if it is "W" to recognise the number in column N and add it to all the other ones that also fit this spec.
Basically, the summary figure is the sum total of all the numbers in column N that have F or W in their associated column G.
A thousand thank yous to anyone who has the time to help!!!
Laura :confused:

I've read several previous threads regarding this...but could not find an answer:
Is it possible to store a PDF file in a table?
I know that I can store a hyperlink with the path to a PDF file located elsewhere, but I would rather store the file in the database itself.
If it can be done, how do you do it? Are threre drawbacks?
Thank you.

(this is a repost )
I will skip the basic intro of "Hi im new to access and i dont know.."
anyways, what I am trying to search for and I dont know what Im looking for is this.
Q1) I would like to be able to open a zip file, read the NFO/txt file from within and import certain areas of the NFO file,the NFO file of course is layed out with ascii art but there is a predetermined area where certain info is obtained. for example: I would like to capture/import the URL, testers name, date avaliable, zip file name.THEN the text imported would be written to the database. It would be nice to figure out how you go about importing certain lines but im not sure how to ask the question and find the answer the right way. ie...(ascii art found here http://www.ascii-art.de/)
-= I did search import text and get text and didnt find what I was looking for=-
Q2) How do I write to an ascii file/nfo/txt using access, there is a template or a layout that is pre done,and i need certain fields filled out, just like they above layout.
thanks for all your help, you guys are awsome, and keep up the good work!

I am not sure whether this is a problem with MS Access, Visual Basic or Windows.
I have taken over supporting & developing an MS Access 2000 DB for a small charity & am not an Access expert or a programmer. The Application includes processing to create, amend & store retrieve standard letters based on a Word document called MyMerge.doc. The operating systems is Windows XP for the PCs with a MS Server 2003.
Each letter is allocated a number ‘CallID’ which is used to retrieve the letters later. The letter text is in MessageC.
The VB code to store the letters (Save As) is
Dim strTest As String, db As DAO.Database
Dim td As DAO.TableDef
Set db = CurrentDb
For Each td In db.TableDefs
If Len(td.Connect) > 0 Then MessageE = Mid(Left(td.Connect, InStrRev(td.Connect, "") - 1), 11)
GoTo jumpout
Next
jumpout:
MessageC = "%fa" & MessageE & "Db Letters" & MessageC & " " & (CStr(Forms!Contacts![PostalCode])) & " " & Trim(DLookup("[TitleType]", "Title Types", "[TitleTypeID] = Forms!Contacts![TitleTypeID]") & " " & Forms!Contacts![FirstName] & " " & Forms!Contacts![LastName])
objWord.Application.Activate
SendKeys MessageC
The VB code to retrieve the letters is
Dim MessageE As String, db As DAO.Database
Dim td As DAO.TableDef
Set db = CurrentDb
For Each td In db.TableDefs
If Len(td.Connect) > 0 Then MessageE = Mid(Left(td.Connect, InStrRev(td.Connect, "") - 1), 11)
GoTo jumpout
Next
jumpout:
Dim WordApp As Word.Application
Set WordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
WordApp.Visible = True
WordApp.Application.Activate
MessageE = "%fo" & MessageE & "Db Letters*" & CallID & "*.doc"
SendKeys MessageE
Set WordApp = Nothing
GoTo Exit_Command53_Click
The success rate varies from PC to PC and user to user. It will work with one letter and not the next. It is very difficult to identify a pattern. When the Save As does not offer the expected name & path, the Application (or operating system?) offers to save ‘MyMerge’ to the user’s My Documents folder.
In that case I tell the users to correct the path themselves and save the document under the CallID. Theoretically, retrieval should work since this uses the CallID and wild cards. Sometimes it does but often it will instead retrieve a document in the user’s My Documents folder. If it does go to the right folder, you sometimes have to replace the last wild card with ‘.doc’. I have tried replacing the last wild card in the VB code with ‘.doc’ but this does not work!
Finally, I alone get the message ‘Save failed due to out of memory or disk space’, neither of which is true. This makes it very difficult to continue investigating the problem. If I use a copy of the DB on my hard drive rather than the network I can save but not retrieve.

I'm new to Access and was wondering what the storage capacity was for a table.
I am presently working with a table that's approx. 70 columns and about 6,000 rows (and growing). Does anyone know at what point I'll be hitting a wall? It's already too big for me to import into Excel (which is another problem).
Thanks

I found this page (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/824263) as a pretty good reference for field data types, but there's some things I still want to know.
What's the per-character storage on a Memo and Hyperlink field (ignoring compression)?
Are AutoNumber types (Long, Replication ID) unsigned?
Do null [non-text] fields still use their full capacity?

I am trying to build a database for my digital photo collection.
(having pretty much gven up on the packages I see in the market)
Since most of the images reside on CD's and DVD's, I want to create
and store thumbnails and pointers (ie. location fully qualified name),
rather than a copy of the full image.
1. How do I define the fields in the table for the thumbnail, and the pointer?
2. How can I use the pointer value to retrieve the full image?
Any ideas and tips on where to start?
Thanks,
Roy

Hi everyone,
I am using a table that stores data and one of the fields is just a text field with a maximum length of 10.
However, when I store the data in the field, if I only enter 5 letters in it, it stores the 5 letter word correctly but followed by some spaces (I assume 5 spaces but I may be wrong.
I cannot figure out why does anyone know why?
If not, then can I trim the field if I use it in a query/report?
Thanks.
Gareth.

Ok I have Access 2000 and I am a little rusty.
I have a table created that stores all of our relevant production information.
What I want to do is print out a report that shows the daily sales, as well as create totals (forumulas. For the life of me I cannot figure out how to get Access to calculate '# of Units x price per unit= total.' and put that in a report.
I understand I can use the form to enter data into the DB. Will a report do the calculations that I want? Or a query?
I am kinda at a loss and I need to figure this out.
Thanks

Hi
My database is to have a Personnel data area whereby I can store all relevant details for employees within the company.
I plan to incorporate a feature whereby I can alos maintain a history of documentation written and issued including links to the actual documents for that employee during their time with the company.
Has anyone done a similar thing they would be willing to allow me to use?
I figure this would contain links to work documents stored on the hard drive in a specific folder. Selection of a specific item from a historical list - would invoike Word /similar and display the appropriate file...
Any ideas would be gratefully received.
Thank you.

hi, i currently use acces to record the concrete order, used, wasted and waste %.
i was wondering if it possible to use access to calculate these, like excel does, and are the formulas similar to type in?
here's what im currently doing:
(For argument sake, i'll put the formulas from row 3 in)
Column A: Estimated Metres : Data manually input
Column B: Used Metres : Data manually input
Column C: Waste Metres : =IF(ISBLANK(B3),"",(A3-B3))
Column D: WAste % : =IF(ISBLANK(B3),"",((A3-B3)/A3))
The main bit i want access to do is in bole. ignore the rest, its just to keep my sheet tidy.
Can Microsoft Access do something similar. There is more, but i'l start here, so i can learn bit by bit.
Any info would be great. Thanks!

Hello, I didn’t know how to explain this or where to post this but here we go! I have two databases and one of the PC's here at work can’t use some of the items in the database like on one of the databases there is some formulas in text boxes and that PC won’t calculate what’s needed in them and every PC in the plant will except for this one PC. Also the one PC won’t bring up the Allen Browne's Calendar. When you press the start or end button to bring up the calendar it never pops up but if I enter the start date and end dates and use it that way ect then it works. I have no clue why this is just happening to this one PC. Any ideas?

I am in process of creating a new tracking report. I have to do a scoring system where the number of contacts you get a day equals a daily score. The problem I am having is getting this score to work with entries that are equations. One that I am working on is calls per hr/per day. I have inbound and outbound calls that have to be added-that part works. I then need to divide that number by the time worked for the day- that works. I now need to get that end result to match a score or ranking number. An example would be if a person takes 30 inbound calls and makes 125 out bound calls and works 7.5 hours. My calculation is (30+125)/7.5=20.6. My totals are now expressions because they read: Expr3: (([Extnout]+[ACDCalls])/Expr1). By the scoring set up, 20.6 needs to equal 4. How do I get the expression to read a score and make it equal.

If i was to use a forumla in excel to add a number of cells together i would use this forumla =sum(c1:c4) rather than having to use =sum(c1+c2+c3+c4) In access i want to add a number of fields together so that i can caluclate the number of days we have had pallets in our warehouse. I have tried entering the formula =[days stored 1]:[days stored 4] ( i have also tried enter "=sum infront aswell")but it comes back with an error message. but when i enter =[days stored 1]+[days stored 2]+[days stored 3] and this gives me the correct sum. is there any way i can use ":" in the formula since i have a 100 fields called days stored(number) and i will be very painful having to type the formula in the long way.
thanks

hi all,
got a wee problem... i have a number of graphs showing volume (x axis) and pressure (y axis) for particular pipe sizes.... (it's for pneumatic conveying)
depending on the resolution of the hand drawn graph there could be 100's of points along a single graph line (x and y points)....
My program basically needs to select a point(x and y) closest to the graph line that it intersects. (come on mech. engineers)
Problem is how should i store / input the graphs into the db file?
I'm trying to avoid have to literally input every x 'n y point per line per graph... there are about 20 lines per graph and a 100 odd graphs!!!
I was thinking of inputing a start and end point then use some sort of formulae to draw a logical line and pick up all the xy points i need, then store them...
Any thoughts?
Thanks

What I have now is an excel template (with ~12 worksheets) that many regional offices use to enter in some lease data, from which the excel sheet creates a rental schedule and does a whole ton of calculations on that data. Some are NPV calculations, some are yields etc etc.Eventually, I would like to:
1) Enable users to fill out one of these templates, and save the data to the database (Just the inputs? All the data? My reading suggests just the inputs)
2) Use the database to produce one of these templates for any lease in our system (shouldn't be hard, from what I've read)
3) Sum up calculations from this template for many records (eg. if a tenant has many leases, what is the NPV of all of those leases, or what is the total NPV for all tenants)
I have the inputs (from Access) I will have no problem using them in the excel version, but does it make sense to use Access given that I may need to somehow be switching back and forth to get the info I want for my various reports? I am very comfortable writing macros in VBA for excel, so if that's the solution, that is no problem. I assume what I need for #1 and #2 is a macro to arrange the inputs from the excel sheet into a format that can easily be dropped into access tables and vice versa.

Hi,
i currently have a spreadsheet with 6 columns and about 80,000 rows in excel.
I have been told to move it to access to make it faster. but am having problems.
each column has a number in it eg: 1, 5, 23, 45, 56, 43
say i need to find any rows containing eg: 5, 1, 56
currently (in excel) i use an extra column with this formula
=isnumber(MATCH(5,A1:F1,0)*MATCH(1,A1:F1,0)*MATCH( 56,A1:F1,0))
and it tells me which row has the numbers in it with either true or false, and then i filter the trues to get all the rows that have the numbers i need
and the numbers i want to find will change all the time
i have tried to copy the whole spreadsheet to access and it comes across, but my formula doesnt work
Is there any way around this, should i be doing something else?
Thankyou for your help:)

Hello,
I need to replace certain values by an abreviation. Is it possible to use a function similar to the following (Excell) formula in a field in an Access Report?
Code:=IF(A1="XXX";"AAA";IF(A2="YYY";"BBB";IF(A3="ZZZ";"CCC";" ")))
If so, what syntax should I use, because this doesn't work in Access.
Thanks in advance!

I have this database, and one field is a start date, and another field is a date to mail out a thank you letter. I want this field to automatically display a date 5 days ahead of what the start date field's date is. I've seen how to do this in a form, but I need to do this from a table, and since I'm relatively new to access, I don't know where to put the formula, I can't figure it out, and I can't find anything pertinent in MS's help...
