Function Limits
Mar 22, 2005
Hey buddays,
I have a form with a bunch of Count totals in the footer.
There are 12 different areas with a number of projects in each area. So, I'm counting the total projects, and then I'm counting the instances of an area in the area column...12 times. In the query, I have 12 different Count fields, and in the footer of the form, I have Sum([Count]) for each area and one normal Count field for Total Projects. It works fine, until I have about 11 or more text boxes summing counts. Then I get #Error for all of them.
What's the magic Access limit for form-based functions like this? What's a better/faster/sleeker way of doing this?

ok i have a invoice form with Subform. Pesently i am doing somthing like this.
Ihave placed a code on the OnEnter event of the subform as such,
If isnull (Me.CustomerId) or me.CustomerID = "" then
msgbox "Please Enter A Valid Customer ID",vbokonly,"Customer ID Needed"
me.customerID.Setfocus
End if
Now what i want is to ammend this code so that before entering inthe Invoice subform the code should check that CustoemrId, CustomerName and Employee Name is not blank. There should be some data in them. How can i make the code checks for the three textboxes instead of one.

I want to distribute an app that provides password access for a 6 month period after which time a new password has to be issued by me to the end user for them to continue. This means that I don't lose control of the programme.
Is this possible or are then other ideas to protect the app - I have looked at upsizing to MySQL but it is way beyond me, also I have looked at splitting the app and putting the back end on FTP - but apparently this doesn't work (albeit a good idea as I don't need any other programming skills). Any solution needs to be fairly simple please.

Hey guys, I asked a question before but not sure it's the right place and was difficult to explain anyway so I'll just upload my stuff here.
Basically its a school assignment that's making me so frustrated. progress was fast with tables and forms and reports but there are a few requirements i just dont KNOW how to do, not sure what to search for it the way of google either so it's making life hard.
so requirements are:
Gold memebers can book a max 7 classes, silver 4 and bronze 2.
Members cannot book 2 classes on the same day
Classes cannot be over booked.
must make in some form or other something that displays how many classes taken and how many classes are left to each member.
I know all this stuff probably falls under some very simple functions that I'm just not using correctly or have no idea exist but I've made no progess in days and it's such a horrible feeling!
Please any help! I'm not asking you to complete my assignment I'm just asking you to shine the light my way!
ps, no code please, we havent got to that stage yet.
thanx in advance,
Joe

I have two queries combined into one query. The first query shows a sales summary by part number. No problem so far. The second query shows inventory by part number. No problem with that.
Now, I combine the queries, and get only those results that appear in BOTH queries. In other words, if there is no inventory, I do not get zero in the inventory column, the entire result for that part number is skipped.
How do I still display the results of the first query if there is no match in the second query?

Hey guys,
Was wondering, what is the recommended maximum size for Access databases? I've heard that for very large databases that oracle is preferred. Would Access be appropriate for something on the scope of 5000 records of roughly 6 text and 2 number fields? Do people ever notice performance effects on databases of that size?
Also are there any ways to help reduce the size of the database? Do you recommend change the default field sizes where appropriate and would this have a noticeable effect on a database of this size? Any other suggestions to help keep the database manageable, and functioning?
I'm basically trying to figure out if there's much to worry about here, before I start importing my data. Thanks.

I am trying to project how long it will take to reach the 2GB Access limit in a specific project.
My client downloads approx 250,000 records on a monthly basis. I've been provided w/ a sample Excel spreadsheet. I filled a spreadsheet w/ the max number of rows (65536 rows w/ 10 columns of data), and imported that into a new table in a new .mdb file. I copied the table 4 times, so I now have 4 tables of 65536 records each. Compacted before closing. Size was about 52MB. Assuming consistency, I calculate that the size limit would be reached in about 36 months.
262,000 records = 52 MB. 52 MB a month x 36 months = 1,872,000 MB.
Does my projection appear sound?
Thanks!

I am a very new access 2003 user and would welcome advice on how to cause the parameter text within [xxxxx...etc]to occupy two lines ( i.e force a carriage return and line feed) and thereby reduce the width of the parameter input box that the user sees. Also are there limits to the number of characters that can be used. I seem to remember a figure of 50 but cannot find it again in any of the books I have.
Many Thanks
Gerry

Why is my query limiting itself to only 16 columns? when I tab right for another field, it jumps back to the first field. I have other queries with far more columns than that. My DB size is 3,400 kb.

I have a textbox called Odours, there are four buttons below the textbox btn_Cadaver, btn_Drugs, btn_Explosives and btn_Money.
On licking one of the buttons a value will be put in he textbox i.e. pressing the btn_Cadaver will put the value "Cadaver ()" in the textbox.
The reason I want this is that all of the entries must begin with either Cadaver, Drugs, Explosives or Money. The brackets are there to allow the user to put some free text between the brackets.
I have some code to set the cursor (on click) between the brackets
Code:
Me.Breed.SelStart = 9
I want to prevent the user from typing anywhere in the textbox except between the brackets.

I will try and keep this brief. I have a paragraph of text, I have to paste it into a system which allows me 75 characters in a line and 208 in a page.
I have code which creates text boxes dynamically based on the total amount of characters/208 - this gives me how many textboxes need creating. I also have code which then populates those textboxes 208 characters at a time. I now need to alter it so it puts a line break every 75 characters.
Code:
Private Sub btnsubmit_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "NoteForm", acDesign
Dim x As Integer
Dim ctrl As Control
Dim y As Integer
[Code] ....
So I've achieved almost what I want, I just need to amend it so it starts a new line after every 75 characters...

The BIG problem is this.
I need a basic string graph over time recieved from a cross tab query. The data points all come in fine, but the "strings" / lines connecting the points do not show up.
I believe the reason is because there are just too many records.
I culled the data down using a vba loop to only show 1 stop per minute. (BTW, is there a way to do this using only SQL?) I now show all record points, but still do not show the lines between points. Some of the lines show up, but the more data points on the graph there are, the less the lines show up, till only one or two show.
This is an Access limitation that I'm unsure of how to get around. This really shouldn't be an issue though, because Excel handles the graph just fine EVEN BEFORE the culling of the data down to access acceptable limits. And it shows the lines between each record as well.
Does anyone know of a resolution for this?

Hi
I'm new to forum and can't find an answer to this problem. I am using Access 2002 and have a memo field in a form that I want people to be able to type in as much text as they want. This is then displayed in a report. The form accepts the text with no problems however when I view it in the report it has been cut to 255 characters as if it is a text box. I have set the properties to 'can grow' to no avail. I have searched the MS Knowledge base for a solution with no luck. I admit I'm not an expert in Access and would really appreciate some help as I have been trying to overcome this problem for days.

I have a form with an unbound textbox. I want to be able to enter a sequence of digits and spaces (e.g., 02 950 4187); however, when I paste this into the box, I always have to delete the two spaces until the number is 9 digits long. Then it will accept the number and go look for the prize. How do I get the textbox to accept the number I paste in?

I have a project at hand and it's been a predecessor of mine and client has asked me to do some work on it and extend functionality - but I have not really delved into Access before and I have had to worked my way through to this final snag :/
The Main Form has one sub form. This sub form allows the user to add multiple order items i.e. qty, stock, description from records within the system - fairly straight forward.At the last column of each row is the sub total of those particular items i.e.
Qty Unit | Item ID | Total
-----------------------
2 | 1234 | 80.00
------------------------
1 | 43526 | 20.00
------------------------
> | |
So the total is a function of =[Qty Unit] * [Unit Price].Then in the Footer of this SubForm is the Sub Total
=SUM([Qty Unit] * [Unit Price])
All fine and well..... However, the additional functionality kicks in.
Lets add the additional customer_id from the Main Form. Each Item bought is dependent on the customer_id i.e. they get special prices depending on who they are.So a New table is made which has the Item ID and SpecialPriceID (of a table to define as a specialPrice) and the Price linked to this Item and Special Price category. So say that there are two groups of users "wholesale" and "nonwholesale" these would be SP_1 and SP_2 and each client is defined either one of these, and each stock item has a Price for each SP_1 and SP_2. Hopefully I've explained myself there.
Back to the SubForm. So now the Total needs to calculated differently with needed the external customer_id from the Main Form.
Code:
Function CalculateSpecialPrice(ItemID As String, CustomerID As String, Unit As Integer)
Dim SPSelect As String
SPSelect = "SELECT Price FROM [Items_SpecialPrices] WHERE"
SPSelect = SPSelect & " ItemID = '" & ItemID
SPSelect = SPSelect & "' AND SpecialPriceID = (SELECT SpecialPriceID FROM Customers WHERE customer_id = " & CustomerID & ") "
[code]....
its the sub total I just keep on getting #Error on. I have even watched (using alerts) that the correct return variable is the same as the individual rows. This is the equation I used for the SubTotal within the footer.
=SUM(CalculateSpecialPrice([Item ID], [Form]![FormName]![CustomerID], [Qty Unit]))
#Error

Hi all,
I need a little help. In my DB, I have a command button set up (I was tired of typing in dates) for date, but I used the Now function, which also gives me the time.
Now I have over 3000 subrecords of the main ones. I now need to queries transaction for that specific date, but it also retrieves the time.
I tried to go back and change the NOW to DATE in VB, but the code does not run.
How do I change all records that have date and time (using NOW function) and only click that command button to show only the date (mm/dd/yyyy)?
Thanks in advance.

Is there any function that can convert either a True, False, "Yes", "No" or Null value.... to a yes/no (check box) data type?
What I want to do is create a make table query. I would like to add a checkbox field from the query. So if there was a function that could convert a data type to a Yes/No checkbox, this would be very helpful...
To give you and idea of what I'm talking about...and how I want to use this... If I am making a table from a query and I want to add a number field, but leave it empty for the time being, what I can do is make a new field in the query maybe call it "Number1". What I would do is Add this as a field in my make table query:
Number1: Cint("")
This will add a blank field that is formatted as a number field when I run the make table query.
So using the same logic, I'd like to make a blank (or unchecked) Yes/No check box field when I run my make table query.
Anyway...that's what I'm hoping for.... I hope someone can help!

I'm having a problem getting a form to open. I'm using access 97 on on XP machine and whan I open my database I get Function isn't available in expressions in query expression '[Case Types]![theName]&"-"&Format([SourceDocs]![CaseNumber]&"","00")&"-"&Format([SourceDocs]![CaseYear]&"","00")'.
This database works fine on a Windows 2000 machine running Access 97 but none of the XP machines will open it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

I have a database in which I am designing a report which includes a name/address block. I am surprised to find that the report does not recognise the Chr() function in the text box control source string "=[Organisation] & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & [Address]..."; designed to insert a CRLF between the contents of the named fields.
I know the syntax is correct because I've checked by using the expression builder to replicate the code. (Expression builder includes the Chr() function, as expected.)
The interesting thing is that the function is recognised in other databases used on the same machine, both those created remotely and locally.
Anyone know what could be going wrong?

I am using a crosstab query to gather info from a table. I am using the Format [DateAppt], "mmm". The query ran successfully before but I now get the error "Function is not abailable in expression in query expression 'Format ([DateAppt], "mmm")'. This is used for column headings in a report that gives results by month.
I am using Microsft Office 2000 Premium with XP Professional operating system.
I used the original disk to repair Office thinking that the function was missing from the function library but to no avail.
Does anyone know how to restore this function?
Thank you,
Jack

Just wonder if anyone could give me some help on an IIF function used in my query:
I have a table which has numerous “W” codes, the charging for an order does not occur if it has a W12 or a W14 code and has no “[Authorising Name]” BUT does however charge if the weight of the order is over 100kg
IIf([WCode]="W12" Or [WCode]="W14",IIf([Authorising Name]="",0,[charge], IFF ([weight]>99,[charge],0)))
I can get this working for a single W code but not for the 2 OR I can get it working for both Codes but then the weight side doesn’t.
I have tried all combinations of <> = < etc etc but still no luck., I think I need another OR but no matter where I put it I hit problems either with the function or the result.
Another small issue, my [authorising Name] field can appear to be empty, but in the field are spaces what is the best way for ensuring I capture both empty and theses space records ?
Thanks in advance
