View 6 Replies View RelatedI am setting up a db for a ecomm site and the vendor prices are in 4 different currencies. I currently have the price fields data type as a "number" (long integer). Can the data type "currency" handle different currencies all in one table? Do I need to set up a seperate price table for all the products in each currency? Any help is appreciated.

I would like to format the currency values in a query. There values will either be Euro or Pound. Is it possible to change the currency format "on the fly" in this way in a query?
I would like to have a variable currency format. For example:
If [fldCurrency] = [Euro] Then format [fldAmount] As Euro
If [fldCurrency] = [Pound] or [GBP] Then format [fldAmount] As Sterling
How does one format data as Euro?
Many thanks,

Hi,
I am creating a database of private equity funds. I want to have a currency field for an input entitled fund size. However, I need to be able to display whether the size of the fund is in dollars or euros. How can customize a number/currency field to allow me to input the correct currency symbol?
Thanks
Hi,
I have tried to add up fields in a table but am struggling to get it to work. Can anyone help please.
In design view of tables, I have four fields (that I will be using in a a form eventually);
RaffleIncome
AlmsIncome
OtherIncome
TotalIncome
I want to get the TotalIncome field to automatically be the total sum of any or all of the other three.
I have tried putting =[RaffleIncome]+[Almsincome]+OtherIncome} in the control box of the TotalIncome field (a guess) in a form I made, and it gives me the total sum of the others three but does not save when I look at it in the table view. (that is, the TotalIncome column remains £0.00)
I am learning as I go along and am okay figuring some stuff out, but this has got me a bit frustrated, and I guess I cannot see the wood for the trees !
Thanks anyone

I have a Number field with value as
DSum function where the criteria is
Textfield which works well.
=DSum("[MCRef]","Miracle_Cloth_Main","[Cust_ID]='" & [Cust_ID] & "'")
It doesn't show the SUM when the type of
textBox is CURRENCY
Can anyone suggest IF Ineed to change the syntax ?
how to change default currency in Access 2013 to a "foreign currency" (i.e. to Indonesia Rupiahs) without changing control panel (Region/Language>currency) - now setup as USA ($US)?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am just wondering if there is an advantage to using a currency field type in a table, vs. just using a number field? This is assuming that I am not working directly in the tables themselves and am using forms to display the data.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a calculated field in a query that generates a result that i need to display in forms/reports with the $ sign but zero decimal places (ie; rounded to the nearest $ value, $5).
If i use the sql format currency function (format (n, "currency",0) it always displays the $ sign but with two decimal places...
In the form/report text box property i set the format to currency, with the decimal places set to 0, but it still displays two decimal places (this property setting seems to make no difference other than displaying the $ sign). Is there something i am missing regarding the way access formatting works?
I am looking for a data model to define and track proficiency/currency.
Example:
You earn a licence to do X. You need to renew your licence every 2 years or so. But also, to maintain currency, you need to do what the licence gives you the right to do often enough, or else you need to do a test.
Specifically, you need to do X a specified number of times N within, say, last 3 months at any one time to maintain currency. If you have lost your currency, you need to do a test/check. So at all times, you need to have N times on record within last 3 months, or a test.
In addition, to do X legally, you also need to document that you have done X at least 10 hours within, say, last 6 months, or that you have another test within those last 6 months. This is independet of the previous requirement (concerning the number of times you did X).
Both requirements must be fulfilled at all times for you to do X legally.
So, any suitable model out there? Essentially, something capable of defining and tracking currency for various ratings and license privileges of pilots would do just fine.
Hi Everyone
I need to change a fields properties on a form depending on another fields data.
i.e. If a user ticks a Yes/No box saying they've done something they must also complete the date they did it. I can't set the date field in the table to be 'Required' as if ther is no tick then it doesn't need to be.
Cheers

Hello all...
I have a problem with a single query I have build in Access 2000. Basically, I have a normalised database structure to 3NF. I have a table called Data, a table called Reports and a table called DataReports which cotains the primary keys from both data and reports which are named Data_ID and Report_Id.
Basically, what is happening is I am building a query that returns a record from DataReports using the Data_Id field as criteria as this is held on a form. I create a one to many relationship from the Reports table to the DataReports table using a link from one Report_Id to the other. I save the table and it works fine...once only!! The query is used to feed a list box on a form. The form loads correctly but when I go back into design view to make a change to something else on the form and then go back to form view, I get Data Type Mismatch error. When I look at the query, Access has changed the link from the Report_Id --> Report_Id to Report_Id --> Report_Title which is the next field down in the Reports table. Because all ID's in my database are Autonum's it is trying to link a number to text so I understand why this would not work but I dont understand why on earth access is changing my links. It is very frustrating. Could anyone help me please.
Thank you kindly..

Help needed: Large Yes/no tables!
I have a form with names of employees, and different skills that employee has.
It is listed in a form as columns with the employee name in rows, and columns for the skills. The form is in fact really great, but I see that the solution might bring problems in the future because of maintainance issues, and field limitations. I add fields frequently, and the table is growing without me beeing able to control it.
I have organized this in only one table, and used the name of the skill as a field. There is many other tables in the DB, but none of them covers this area.
exampletable:
employeeID | auto
employeename | text
Hireddate | date/time
Fireddate | date/time
baking | yes/no
cooking | yes/no
driving | yes/no
juggling | yes/no
With this solution I get the skillname as a heading, and the name as a column with lots of yes/no values. I love the filter functions, and the form is quite nice...
exampleform:
Employee baking cooking driving juggling
employeeeID1 yes no no yes
employeeeID2 no yes yes yes
employeeeID3 no no yes yes
employeeeID4 yes yes yes no
and so on.
Is there a way to organize this so that the skill name comes in the top row, the results get listed as shown above when the skill is placed as a field value, not a field itself?
I have looked for a solution with many-to-many relations with 3 tables, but cant seem to make it work right. It is especially the form I have trouble creating with the new design.
I have also tried to make crosstab queries with minor success.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can make the relations work.
One employee can possess a great number of different skills, and the skill can be possessed by a great number of employees. This is not a difficult issue by itself, the problem is to make the form as shown over.
Thank you, in advance.
Hi
Is there a way of changing the case of text that has been entered in a table?
Want a form to display capitalised names, say, no matter how they were entered. Know that they can be displayed in all caps using >.
Thanks
Hi Guys me again!!
After spending the last few hours searching the forum and net for an answer I have finally conceded again that I need advice
I have a field in a table called DOB (date of birth) this is currently set as a Date / Time field
It did orignally have an input mask for short date i.e 11/11/2011 but i have removed this for now.
On my form (Patients) there is also some code in the after update properties box of DOB to calculate a persons age which is entered into another text field on the form.
What I need is a customised message box if the user enters the date incorrectly i.e 11/11/11 instead of 11/11/2011 alternativley is there a way to change what the user puts in i.e 11/11/11 to 11/11/2011 automatically after udating but keeping the code to calculate the age?
Hope this isn't to confusing...
Thanks in anticipation

Hi there guys,
I need a little help on a little situation. Basically, my client for my school project wants to be able to see graphically if orders sent to their bookstore have been processed or not. So i suggested a change of cololour of the fields.
Now I have created a Form containing the orders as they are stored in a list box, (both already processed and unprocessed orders), now I want to be able to allow each item in the list box to be either Red (if unprocessed) or green (if processed) so the user can see which ones they need to deal with. Im guessing this would take some VB, but if anyone could help me, I would really appreciate it :).
PS, if you do provide VB could you please explain a little of whats going on as i have to annotate all the code I use and im not too profficient in VB
Thanks a lot

I've asked this question in different forums before, and though some people say it can be done, I have not found anyone who is successful yet.
I have a report that puts down a person's address, however the address information is stored within the database in separate fields ('Address', 'City', 'State', 'ZIP'). The issue I have is with the City/State/ZIP. Some city names are longer than others, is it possible to have the fields adapt to the different word lengths.
Say the address is, Albany, NY 10023. The database would output this alright, but then if the city name is San Francisco, CA 94143, the fields are in disarray.
I have the same issue with names. Last name and first name are stored separately. I would like to display Last, First. My workaround has been to right-align the Last name, and put it adjacent to the left-aligned first name field. This works unless the person's last name is very long, disporportionately from the first name, in which case, it looks very much off center in the overall report.
Any help would be appreciated.
I have an existing report with a number of fields arranged horizontally in a tabular fashion in the detail section. The first field is an identifying line of text and the remaining fields are numerical calculations. The report is basically a simple profitability estimate report for a number of different products.
Behind the fields of data is another text box that is blank, which stretches across all the horizontal fields, and which changes background color using conditional formatting. When printing, this colors the whole row according to that criteria (it changes color based on the relative profitability of each product in the report).
The problem I'm having is that the first line of identifying text can sometimes overflow.
I've set the Can Grow property to Yes for this and all other controls in the Detail section. But the result is sometimes some funny-looking formatting. The identifier (like "Product XYZ with a really long description") will word-wrap, but every other field in that row maintains their own height. In particular, this makes the coloring of the conditionally formatted row look off, because it provides only one line's worth of color, even though the product description has wrapped to two lines.
How I can resize all the controls in the Detail section based on the height of the tallest control, and keep the whole thing dynamic?
Things I've tried: I've tried putting some VBA in either the OnFormat or the OnPrint events that iterates through the controls in the section and resets their heights. In the "OnFormat" event, nothing happens (no errors and no apparent changes in the appearance of the report). In the "OnPrint" event, I get an error that says the height property cannot be changed during a print or print preview.
The VBA I tried using was as follows:
Code:
Dim ctlIt As Control
Dim lngMaxHeight As Long
For Each ctlIt In Me.Controls
If ctlIt.ControlType = acTextBox Then
[Code] ....
Hi All, A quick question..

We are currently using Access 2007 for all our database needs but so many different people have had access to changes things that now they are so convoluted that my boss is wanting me to build a brand new database... Is there a way to take all the tables in one database and migrate them over to the new database that I am building?
View 3 Replies View Relatedhow am I suppose to change the form name in the forms in VBA access, now see I would not want to change the names by using the coding.
Please note that I have got so many forms, however I have worked with the default names to start some of them would be, form1, form2 Now, when I am trying to follow the best practice approch, by changing the form name by right clicking and hitting rename, I am unable do so as it is popping up and giving me a statement as below.
"The form name 'Form2' is missspelled or refers to a form that does not exist" and continued in the next line as below
"if the invalid form name is in macro, an Action failed dialog box will display the macro name and the macro's arguments after you click OK. Open the Macro window, and either the correct name."
I have taken over exisiting databases and the names for the tables,forms,queries,reports are not technically named correctly.. What would be the easiest way to rename everything accordingly:
tbl for table
qry for query
rpt for report
mcr for macro
bas for module
frm for form.
Of Course they have names but it is hard to tell when viewing a query for instance if you are looking at a table or a query.... in the SQL View.
I'm having a problem changing the hyperlinks in my access table.the hyperlinks point to locations of various documents on the server i.e. Server Quality DocumentsDoc1.docx
we have 2 domains at work so on one domain the hyper link works but on the other it doesn't.I did a find and replace so i have formatted all hyperlinks as such..Server.mydomain.localQualityDocumentsDoc1.doc x
However, this approach hasn't worked as it has only altered the 'text to display' and not the actual address (if i right click the hyperlink -> edit hyperlink the address is still ServerQualityDocumentsDoc1.docx).Is there away to change the Address fields of all the hyperlinks in one go?
