Oct 19, 2012I have a table which holds the status of peoples orders. It holds information on order_id, order_status, order_desc, letter.
A letter is printed for each of the different statuses. However for one status i need two different letters to be printed.
How can i insert two values into the same cell.
So far i have done
insert into order_status (order_id,order_status,
order_desc, letter) values('025', 'Dispatched', 'Black tailored coat ','DPT notification');
This prints the DPT notification fine but i need another letter to print along with this.
General :: Odd-numbered Appearances Of Text Within Cell
Jan 9, 2014My friend extracted some text from a PDF file, pasting it into Excel, and needs to find certain pieces of information. Problem is, the text came out as a long string instead of being broken into cells.
So, what we need to do is find, within the text, the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th and 13th times the word "Principal" appears, and then report back the name that follows. Within the text, it would read something like
(1234 Principal John Doe)
The number in front of it will change or be in a different format, there are other parentheses in the text (varying number of times within the text), and the name changes, of course. We want to extract the name following the word "Principal"... but only the odd-numbered times they appear. Some cells will have as few as six "Principal" entries, others as many as fourteen.
General :: Copy A Format From One Cell In A Subform To Another
Aug 18, 2012The Format Painter seems not to work in Access 2010.The Format Painter button is not in Home / Text Formatting, where you might expect to find it.I create a New Group and add the Format Painter icon. I cannot then use it. It stays greyed out.I add Format Painter to the Quick Access menu.

Arrays
Jun 25, 2007Hi all
I need some help with an array.
I have 10 fields each with 5 possible values. At the moment I've written 50 if then statements.
is there a cleaner way to do this?? I thought perhaps an array of some sort may do the trick.
Any advice is appreciated

Control Arrays?
Jun 23, 2005I am not even totally sure that is what you call it. . but I have most of my experience in VB.NET and this VBA in Access 2002 is killin me. HA. . .
I am trying to dynamically create checkboxes (50 of them) in 10 rows and 5 columns. This is part of a "im bored" project and would like to be able to tackle the dynamic controls area.
I am thinking I want to keep the naming convention as "chkBox01. . .02. . .03" so that I can use the mid() function to determine its "value" and apply the value in the proper place.
I suppose the only thing I need is an example if anyone has one of a checkbox or any control for that matter being made by VBA and not placed on the form manually. 50 check boxes suck when trying to rename them all. sigh

Loop until i = 25
Text(i) = codehere
i = i + 1

Queries :: Use Of Arrays In Forms
Dec 27, 2014I have a form that allows me to sell animals in a group. While some fields, (i.e. buyersname, sellingunits, datesold) are good for all, some fields (i.e. AnimalID, SellingWgt, Sellingprice, Picture) need to be specific.
Having said this, Using a query for GroupSales, I filled a list box of all the animals that are to be sold. Below the list box two command buttons (1-ALL) and (2-by Group).The only difference being here, is that by clicking cmdALL all animalIDs listed in the list Box will be highlighted. The By-Group means the user has to highlight the IDs they want to sell..
In either event, there will multiple IDs. If I can use arrays here, I could include the other fields for each animal that has been chosen. These would then be updated/appended to other tbls.
Modules & VBA :: 1 Function For Multiple Buttons / And Using Arrays For Button Colors
Mar 4, 2014Question 1:
I am attempting to make a macro to pull information based on a clicked button to provide information to another form. While my example below will be rudimentary, I am attempting to create so that it can be applied to 450 buttons, hence the need for it to be a macro and not simply code per button.
For example if I have 3 buttons, captioned: red, green and blue. If I click on the blue button, it will open another form with a text-box that will say 'blue'. Likewise, if I click the red button the text-box will be changed to 'red'.
In the code below the section that I need to change is: Command1.Caption. Using this data I can pull from the one button to create the value, but I need it to be based on an OnClick or something in order to pull the value from the right button.
Example:
Function Macro1()
On Error GoTo Macro1_Err
DoCmd.OpenForm "Form2", acNormal, "", "", , acNormal
Forms!Form2!Text0.Text = Forms!Form1!Label0.Caption
DoCmd.GoToControl "[Text2]"
Forms!Form2!Text2.Text = Forms!Form1!Command1.Caption
[code]...
Question 2:
I am trying to use a query to change button colour on the basis of values stored in a table.What I want to do is change the button background after comparing the button name to the same variable in a table, and determining another variable.
IE:
Button1, Button2. In table: Button1, Val = Y, and Button 2, Val = Z
Pseudo Code:
Array: From Button1 to Button2
Query for Button1 against table
If Val = Y, Button1.background = red
Else if Val = Z, Button1.background = blue
Else Button1.background = black
End if
General :: Possible To Have Value In Excel 2010 Cell Used To Update Access 2010 Database

Duplicating Cell
Jan 10, 2008Hi Guys
Not sure what I should do here. I would like to have a cell populate with the value of a specific cell previously.
explain:
in excel, we can use formulas like this:
A1: 00:00 B1: 08:30
A2: 08:30 B2: 13:00
A3: 13:00 B3: 15:00
etc, etc
Notice that each cell in A is the same as the previous B Cell. So the formula for Cell A2 would be something like: =IF(B1>0,B1,"00:00")
and Cell B3 would be =IF(B2>0,B2,"00:00")
The fields I have in Access are:
TimeIn TimeOut
So I would need to get TimeIn to be the same as the previous timeout???
Not sure If I'm making any sense right now :)
Copy Cell Above And Add 1

View 5 Replies View RelatedFormat Cell Color
Oct 19, 2004This is a very stupid question, I'm sure...
I want to get Access to find a cells that have a certain value and make them a particular colour so that they can easily be seen by database users. I could also make the font a different colour. I've tried getting the builder to do this in the query I run (for the column the fields appear in) but nothing seems to work. How and where do I enter formatting for colour / font colour based on data that is already in the cell... and what do I need to type?
Also would it be faster to get Access to do this before I run a query - so that the formatting is appllied to the whole table or would it be faster to do it during the query process?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Sub Cell Information In A Table
Aug 9, 2005I am not sure if this has been done in a table before. I have seen it in forms but not in tables.
Here is my problem.
I have created a database for a planespotters club. This database has the tables.
ac_logged
ac_maker
ac_model
country
airport
I am trying to display selected information in the ac_logged tbl that is related to other cells. For example: If someone selects boeing in the maker field they will only boeing models in the model field. Also, if someone enters Ireland in the country field only the airports for that country would be listed.
I don’t want to do this in a form but I could settle for a query if I have to.
I was just wondering if this could be done in a table as opposed to any other way.
Hope I have made myself clear on this one. :confused:
Replacing Cell Value In A Table
Aug 1, 2007OK, here is my situation. I have an access database which is updated automatically every night with new data. My companies solution to this is each morning, the entire database is downloaded to my computer to be used by another application.
In one of the tables, there is a field that doesn't work for my purposes, so each day I have to manually open the table, and change the contents of that field for every record. For example, lets say I have the following table:
Field1 Field2 Field3 Field4
Rec1 Wigets Faucet Model1A
Rec2 Wigets Faucet Model1B
Rec3 Wigets Sink Model1A
Rec4 Wigets Sink Model1B
Rec5 Wigets Toilet Model1A
Each day I manually change Field2 so it reads "Total" and whatever is in Field2:
Field1 Field2 Field3 Field4
Rec1 Total Faucets Faucet Model1A
Rec2 Total Faucets Faucet Model1B
Rec3 Total Sinks Sink Model1A
Rec4 Total Sinks Sink Model1B
Rec5 Total Toilets Toilet Model1A
Each morning when I receive the new database download, they all go back to widgets.
Is there a macro or module I can create to automatically look at Field3, and then assign a new value to Field2 based on Field3's value?
Any help would be appreciated!!!!
Value Of A Specific Cell From A Subform
Nov 4, 2005Hi experts,
I have a mainform in which there is a subform. Is there any way that I can retreive the value of the selected cell of the subform in the main form?
Currently what I usually do is that using a text box and setting it's control source to that special field in the subform, we have the value. But this is only for a specific field.
To explain my problem more precisely, I have a subform with 7 columns (fields) and 5 or 6 rows (datasheet view). When I click with the mouse on a specific cell ( or navigate within the subform with the arrow keys) I want to have the value of that cell in my main form.
Thanks in advance.
Excel Cell Value Not Same As Value Written To It
Feb 14, 2008Has anyone else had this problem?
I have a program that brings in the upper and lower specs to a excel spreadsheet and then brings in the values from lab tests.
The program then uses the specs to determine if the value is in or out of spec and colors the value if it is out of spec.
My problem is that in one cell the upper spec that is brought in is 2.7 and it shows that on the spreadsheet but when you click the cell the true value stored there is something like "2.66990153". Since a test value of 2.7 is greater than that it colors it when it is in fact in spec.
I have stepped through the code and the spec value pulled from the table is coming in correctly at 2.7.
Why would the excel sheet have a different value?
How To Highlight Cell In Subtable
Oct 1, 2012Ok, there is one main form and a subform which is linked directly to a table. A VBA routine checks entries and flags certain rows for errors. We want to highlight specific cells that are out of tolerance.
Been playing around with the Me.ActiveControl.BackColor = vbYellow
But if this can be done to a particular cell on a table, and if this can be done using VBA.
