General :: Concentrate First Name And Surname Fields In Form?
Aug 8, 2013
I am currently using Access 2007, where I used to be able to concentrate First Name and Surname Fields by simply using:
= [First Name] &" "& [Surname]
However I have downloaded Access Run Time 2010 on the other employees computers so they will be able to access the Database, however since i have done this the First Name and Surname do not appear, it simply shows:
#Name?
I am guessing this is because it is a newer version, however even when I open the Database with Access 2007 it still does not work, even if I delete it and add it again.
I have a Table with 6 fields, 2 are named Initial and Surname. Is it at all possible to have a combo box on a form with these to fields "joined" with the alphabetical order on the Surname. I understand that using a query will not work as the result is based on an expression
I have a textbox called "name", what i am trying to do is have lowercase on first/second names in the textbox except the last word (surname)this i want in uppercase.
I have a query with the following sql: SELECT QY_ALL.TB_STAFF_STAFF_ID, QY_ALL.LNAME, QY_ALL.FNAME, QY_ALL.JOB_TITLE, QY_ALL.BASE, QY_ALL.DEPT_WARD, QY_ALL.STATUS, QY_ALL.COURSES_DONE_ID, QY_ALL.COURSE, QY_ALL.START_DATE, QY_ALL.END_DATE FROM QY_ALL WHERE (((QY_ALL.DEPT_WARD)=[Enter Dept/Ward]) AND ((QY_ALL.STATUS)="CURRENT") AND ((QY_ALL.COURSES_DONE_ID)=[SELECT COURSE ID]) AND ((QY_ALL.START_DATE) Between [Enter start date] And [Enter end date])) ORDER BY QY_ALL.LNAME, QY_ALL.FNAME;When I run a report off it it returns correct data except it treats same surnames as one. E.g. if I have Jon, Jo and Fred Smith I get Jon listed but Jo and Fred's records attributed to him.
I have a form with many fields on it. For some reason some of the text in the form fields don't line up vertically with other text even though I have aligned them to the grid and to each other. I have Access 2013.
I need to validate a surname field which obviously can only consist of letters and occasionally spaces and/or hyphens. (i.e. van Driel or Johnson-Crooks)I managed to create a validation rule which would allow me to have space in the surname field:Is Null Or Not Like "*[!((a-z) or ( ))]*"but when I tried to allow hyphens into the field - I used these codes - but none of them worked:Is Null Or Not Like "*[!((a-z) or ( ) or (-))]*"Is Null Or Not Like "*[!(a-z)]*" Or Not Like (" ") Or Not Like ("-")Is Null Or Not Like "*[!(a-z)]*" Or Not Like "*[!( )]*" Or Not Like "*[!(-)]*"Is Null Or Not Like "*[!(a-z)]*" Or Like "*[!( )]*" Or Like "*[!(-)]*"Is Null Or Not Like "*[!(a-z)]*" Or Not Like "*[( )]*" Or Not Like "*[(-)]*"Is Null or Not Like "*[!(a-z)]*" or (in ("-"," "))Is Null Or Not Like "*[!(a-z)]*" And (Not In ("*[0-9]*"))Is Null Or Not Like "*[!(a-z)]*" And (Not In ("*[0-9]*")) And (In ("-"," "))Is Null Or Not Like "*[!(a-z)]*" Or Like ( ) Or (-)Please can smeone help me.James
I have been sent a file of customer contacts. They are held in a single field and have the format firstname + surname. So that I can load this data into a enterprise database system, I need to be able to extract surname and first name into to separate fields.
Any ideas on how I achieve this through an Access query?
Where in Access 2010 I can modify the displayed fields of a Combo Box on a form. I need to format the display window and add criteria to one of the fields. Can't remember where I set this up and recently upgrading from Access 2007 isn't working.
I got a form called "Make quote". In this form a user can select a product from a line of fields. This "line" contains: article code, product, price and quantity the customer requests.
Each single quote can contain a very different amount of products. Some quotes just have 1 product, other quotes have 25 products.
I'm looking for a way to let the user add as many "lines" as necessary for the quote. BUT I don't want him to need to go into design view.
I'm thinking of maybe adding a button to the form which does this, but I'm not sure how.
see below for the current code to find a duplicate surname (this works Fine)
now that ive properly thought it through what i need to do is insert a surename and if (by Chance) when i insert the Date of Birth if this is the same highlight it as a duplicate record. However if these people are twins then i need the option to insert the duplicate record.
any ideas on how to go about this, see code below.
Private Sub Text24_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim SID As String Dim stLinkCriteria As String Dim rsc As DAO.Recordset
'Check StudentDetails table for duplicate StudentNumber If DCount("Surename", "tblData", stLinkCriteria) > 0 Then 'Undo duplicate entry Me.Undo 'Message box warning of duplication MsgBox "Duplicate Name " _ & SID & " has already been entered." _ & vbCr & vbCr & "You will now been taken to the record.", vbInformation _ , "Duplicate Information" 'Go to record of original Student Number rsc.FindFirst stLinkCriteria Me.Bookmark = rsc.Bookmark End If
I have a button that when clicked is used to switch to a form displaying a record details based on a search by surname using a combo box. The record chosen by using the combo box is also displayed lower down on the initial form. My problem is with multiple surname entries, it keeps switching to the first surname record; even when another surname record is selected.
Can I combine the use of surname and first name in my criteria? or Is there a better way to switch to the correct record once it has been selected. I am a bit of a novice with coding. My code is below:
Private Sub Open_Form_Click() On Error GoTo Err_Open_Form_Click
Dim stDocName As String Dim stLinkCriteria As String
Is it possible to set up an input mask for a form for a surname field so that names will show first letter of name as a capital (easy), as in Smith - but for names like O'Connor, show the first and second letters as capitals? (and, of course, allow the ' to be entered). Thanks.
I have a form to record student information. On my student table i have a school I.D that links to the primary key of my school table.
My problem is that in my form, i want to be able to fill in the rest of the fields about the school info based on the I.D chosen.
i.e.
student table: Student id name address school I.D (FK)
School info table: School I.D (PK) school name contact name email address
My form that's linked to the student table needs all the information from the school info table in separate fields but i can only select School I.D in the Control Source Property.
I have two tables, "Summary" and 'POC Information". In the "POC Information Table I have all my Contacts Information (Name, Title, Phone, Email, etc...) and I am trying to assign 2 POCs to each of my multiple projects located in the "Summary" Table. I am using a Form called "JCIDS Tracker Input Form" as the link. So far I am able to assign one POC by a combo box that lists "Full Name", then it autofills the other information...Phone Number, Email, etc... The problem come into being when I want to assign a second POC to the same Project...I can assign a name, but it won't correctly autofill the rest of the information...it just autofills in the information from the first POC that was selected.
[URL] ....I am trying to dynamically search multiple fields from a combo box on a form that includes a subform. I am using code from the above referenced link within this forum.
It works without the "setFocus" for the Listbox except it jumps to a record after the very first character is entered instead of narrowing down as characters are typed. If I leave in the "setFocus" I get run-time error 2110.
I am finishing a project at my client, and they said that I could take a copy of the database I created home (i.e. so that I will support them ;) )
I have a table tblPeople, however, the only condition is that I have to change the First- and LastName columns in this table, since it contains personal information. I need to change the names for about 600 people (400 men, 200 women)
I was thinking of adding the First- and Last Names of movie stars, to keep the flair in my DB :) Does anyone maybe have a sample database with (movie star) names that I can use to populate my DB?
Hi i have to design a member database in access, As the membership number i need to use the first letter of the surname, then have an auto number. e.g Smith, if the last member was S47 then Smith would need to be S48, This will be used on a form for a video hire shop, so, the customer details will be entered, is it possible for this auto number to work just by putting the name in the surname field?
I created a form in Access that retrieves data from a table. Inside the form, I am able to access/populate data fields with data from the table. I also have data fields, inside the form, that requires key-in data. I have some how lost the ability send all data field information to a second table and clear existing data fields for new entry.
Questions: What settings, code or buttons can I use to send/store data field information to a new table? What settings, code or buttons can I use to automatically clear all data fields from my form once data has been sent to the new table?
I have a totalquery that runs fine and give me the sum for both fields I'm looking for but I can't get the outputs to fill the fields on the form. I have tried the Dcount query in the control source but that just returns an error and locks up access.
Code: SELECT [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, Sum([Tble-wcDelays].HoursDelay) AS SumOfHoursDelay FROM [Tble-wcDelays] GROUP BY [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, [Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID HAVING ((([Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID)=[Forms]![Frm-ePlusCent]![cleanID]));
I am stuck trying to figure out this problem. I have a main form "frm_tirelog_600" which has 4 combo boxes "cboleg", "cbocar", "cbopos", "cboserial" on it. The first 3 combo boxes are used as criteria on 1 of 3 subforms that I have. The fourth combo box "cboserial" is used for the criteria in a query on another subform that I have called "frm_mount_600_subform", which is independant from the main form, I hope I have explained that clearly enough. What I need to be able to do is have the subform fill in 3 of the fields on it "leg", "car", "pos" with the value from the 3 combo boxes on my main form. I can get it to show in the fields but not write to the table. I have searched the forum and have not been able to locate anything that would work and really need any assistance with this. Im not real strong in the coding department which is where I beleive this could be done.
I have attached a copy of my DB which I hope will better explain it. Any help would be greatly appreciated
