Converting An Abbreviation To Full Text In A Report
Feb 21, 2005In a table called Appointments and the field called Plastics we enter the initials of surgeons.
However in a report i want the initials converted to full text - in the example below the initials are HJC
The expression below doesn't work - it just returns everything in the Plastics column.
Any ideas?
Expr1: IIf(HJC([tblAppointment]![Plastics]),"Heather Cleland")
See Query Design FULL Field's Contents?
Feb 22, 2006Hi,
I have some queries that I created in 97 and convert to Access 2000.
However, when I go to query DESIGN view, I would like to see all the contents of long functions (iif) that I wrote for some fields as a result of running the query, but each field only shows a portion of it (as if it was truncated). I also use the "Zoom..." of that field or Shift+F2, still the same thing, only shows portion of it, the last portion was truncated.
Do any of you know HOW to show all, so I can check and revise if I need to, pllllllease.
Thank so much,
Modules & VBA :: ASCII And Sendkeys - Put Full Stop In The Field
Jan 15, 2015I have a Combo box which contains a set of numbers divided by "."
e.g.: 1.342567.24433
When looking for a certain code, I would like to use the number pad to enter the first few e.g. 1.34 to move to the Position. In Previous Versions of Access I had a function on the key
If KeyAscii = 44 Then
DoCmd.CancelEvent 'stop the comma keypress being updated
SendKeys ".", True 'put a full stop in the field
End If
This worked fine, but in Access 7 and up, it turns off the number lock.
Is there an alternative to sendkeys to achieve the above or a way of directly turning the number lock on again?
Forms :: Field Doesn't Show Full Length Of Record
Dec 4, 2013My form which is based on a table carrying same name doesn't append the full length of the text to one of the fields.
I don't know where the mistake is occurring or indeed I don't know if the error is in the table or in the form.
The form is showing full length of the text but when I look it in the table, it has just one or two bits of the full length.

Reports :: Splitting Single Field Into Multiple Text Boxes Or Multiline Text Box
Jun 4, 2013I have a single field in a table called "Client Contact", where users enter a semicolon between the name, address, and city state & zip. My reason for this was so we could copy client info with a single copy and paste (like from an email). But, on the final report, it needs to have these three parts split up into different lines, or even different textboxes. I can't find a way to do that.

Sorting Text Field Containing Both Text And Numbers Sequentially?
Mar 26, 2014We have a database that we use to track the tablets in our organization, a combination of Apple, Android, and Windows.
We label them with a hostname depending on their branding. Example below.:
APPLE01
APPLE02
APPLE03
ANDROID01
ANDROID02
ANDROID03
WINDOWS01
WINDOWS02
In the database we use the field name HOSTNAME for these entries. When sorting the field, due to it being a text field, we get the traditional sort of
APPLE01
APPLE02
APPLE10
APPLE100
APPLE101
APPLE11
APPLE110
ANDROID01
ANDROID02
ANDROID10
ANDROID100
ANDROID101
ANDROID11
ANDROID110
We would like to have them show up as
APPLE01
APPLE02
APPLE10
APPLE11
APPLE100
APPLE101
APPLE110
ANDROID01
ANDROID02
ANDROID10
ANDROID11
ANDROID100
ANDROID101
ANDROID110
What is the best way to tackle this?
Apending Text Into A Table Field That Already Contains Text
Jun 11, 2007I am wondering if there is a way to automate the pasting function of text from one field into several others in a table without losing the data that is already in the field.
As an example: in 20 fields I have "I love potatoes" and I want to paste the text string, "And I love tomatoes too" in every field without overwriting the original text.
Thanks.

Design With Full Traceability
Jul 12, 2005Since the latests post I have received from The Doc Man, Pat Harman and ScottGem I have been spenfding a lot of time on stock, really interesting and challenging indeed. (Thanks very much for the advice)
I've design a database with a working transaction table.

Thank you,
Display Full Name Other Way Round
Aug 23, 2005I have a field within a table entitled "Name Display" This displays names in the format:
Surname,forename
I have used the following:
Full Name: Right([Name_Display],Len([Name_Display])-InStr([Name_Display]," ")) & " " & Left([Name_Display],InStr([Name_Display]," ")-1)
To rearrange so format is displayed as forename,surname
However my output with some fields appears as:
SARAH WAILES, with spaces inbetween.
Can anyone suggest a way of removing these spaces?
Thanks

Date Full Day Query
Jul 26, 2007Hope someone can help.
I have a table with a bunch of fields. There are two critical fields. The Date and Time. I have these set to Date() and Time().
Now for a report. I would like to have a report that takes the input of a user to display the entries from only one time frame to another time frame.
For example, if a user is in need of the report for 01/01/07, they can choose the query and input in the date and time, but a full day is considered 01/01/07 starting at 6:00 am to 01/02/07 at 5:59 am. Therefore, if a user inputs that they would like to see the report for 01/01/07, entries that were inputted in prior to 01/01/07 at 5:58 AM should not appear.
My Query, criteria ask for the date and time, but I cannot figure out to ask the user for a logic that would be able to pull the whole "full day" reports.
Hope I'm making sense here.

Full Outer Join For Dummies
Mar 21, 2007I'm the dummy in question. I'm new to Access and have a fairly simple database that I'm using to find potential customers. I am targeting them by two criteria using two different queries (both queries are looking at different fields of the same table). I want to create a combined query that pulls ALL of the results from both of my target queries. Searching around this forum I see that I need to create an Outer Join which Access doesn't exactly do. I also see that there are ways to simulate this, but I can't seem to figure out those ways. If someone could please explain this to me in a very simple way, I would be very grateful. Thank you.
