General :: Search A Table Using Part Of A Field
Jul 24, 2014 We have a form with a field Drawing No from the Table Job Register
I want to be able to take the first part of the drawing number and display all matching items from the quote details table.
Aesthetics I can sort later.
I've created a query Item History.
My intention is to have a command button on the form Job Register that runs the query qryQuoteHistory displaying matching results.
My issues are as follows:
drawing numbers are sporadic in length and information ie:
kk80
a2-19520
a2-19520 rev a
e8
1128215 issue d
Retrospectively I would have had issue or revision number in a separate field, or better yet have a products table and link the info there. Unfortunately this isn't the case.

General :: Make File Name Part Of A Field Value
Jun 13, 2013I'm trying to split up the filename into four separate fields. Here's an example of the filename:
123112 427900 55261 1156833.jpg
A 12312
B 427900
C 55261
D 1156833
The values A, B and C are always the same number of characters. The last value, D, changes in size. It can be anywhere from four characters to twenty. But it always starts at position "20" as with "1" in the case of the 1156833. The extension, jpg, is of no value.I might also add my programming ability is close to nonexistent.

Modules & VBA :: Unable To Extract Day Number From Date Field And Write It To Day Field
Jan 10, 2014I am trying to do some simple table operations. I have a field (Date) containing dates, and an empty field called Day.
I want to extract the day number from the Date field, and write it to the Day field.
I didn't get very far until I ran into trouble when setting my recordset. I get the error "Too few parameters, expected 1". Clicking "Debug", will highlight the code line "Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(sqlString, dbOpenDynaset)".
So far, my code looks as follows:
Code:
Private Sub Command16_Click()
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim sqlString As String
Dim dataDay As Byte
'Open connection to current Access database
Set db = CurrentDb()
[Code]...
I am not very familiar with the various types of recordset settings. I just want to be able to read data from the Date field, and write data to the Day field.

General :: Extract Postcode From String - No Other Filtering
Dec 31, 2014I have tried to find this on the forum but it seems all the answers are to do with manipulating the strings based on what the postcode is whereas I just want to extract the postcode as a separate string as simply as possible.
Basically, I have a text field called Add5 which has the last line of the address including the postcode.
Example: "Northampton NN1 7PQ"
I am trying to end up with two strings like this
Add5 = "Northampton"
Postcode = "NN1 7PQ"
I only need to do this in one place, I don't think it needs a module.
Tricky Question - Form Part Data Entry, Part Not
Dec 16, 2004I have what I think is a difficult problem to overcome...
I am designing a form to create an invoice. The user will select a workstream and a date range in form frmInvByHrs. Within this I want two sub-forms, one is frmInvByHrsTsht and the other is frmInvByHrsBill. I want the first one to display all the staff and their hours done, and the second one to be in data entry mode where you can enter the hours you want to bill. Each sub-form is based on a separate query.
Is it possible to do this? ie. to have one sub-form in data entry mode, and the other not? It seems to me that the data entry mode is controlled by the MAIN form regardless of the sub-form settings!
If this is not possible, do you know how I can acheive this?
Thanks

Extract From 1 Field And Populate A Whole Lot Of Others..
Sep 19, 2006I have read some tutorials online on how to split data into multiple fields.
http://www.databasedev.co.uk/splitting_fields.html
While this is the gist of what I need - it is much more complex.
I am dealing with adresses.
This inherited database has 2 fields - ZIP, and ADDRESS. I need to extract the data within the ADDRESS field to populate other more detailed named fields.
I would like to ultimately have my fileds to be: STREETNUM, STPREDIR, STREETNAME, STREETSUFX, SUD, SNUM.
Example: (Current ADDRESS data)
512 N Manchester Dr Ste 201
(extract ADDRESS and import into)
STREETNUM = 512
STPREDIR = N
STREETNAME = Manchester
STREETSUFX = Dr
SUD = Ste
SNUM = 201
--
Now I have tried several queries to extract the first bit of data 'STREETNUM', using the example on the link I posted above. INSTR, RIGHT, MID, LEFT.
Problem is there are also P.O. Boxes formatted like: PO BOX 1234, so my STREETNUM column includes the PO, when it should include the 1234.
PO Box 1234 should translate to:
STREETNUM = 1234
STREETNAME = PO BOX
All the rest of the fields aren't needed.
As you can see, I'm in OVER my head.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance or direction in accomplishing this task.
I am not a beginner with Access, but I am far from being an expert. A breakdown of some complicated tasks may be necessary... :-)
Thanks in advanced.
How To Extract Unique Record To New Table And Duplicate In Another New Table

General :: Unbound TextBox Using ComboBox As Part Of DSum Criteria
Jan 2, 2015I'm using a very simple unbound textbox on a very simple form, with the following Expression to find me data in a query and sum the last 30 days, based on a combo-box on my form...
Only thing is, it's showing me only the data from the last 30 days...regardless of the value in the combo.
=DSum("Credit","qryIncVsExp","TransDate>=#" & Date()-30 & "#" And "AccountID_FK="""&[cboaccount].[column](1)&"")
I'm sure it's something to do with the number of "'s I have, but I'm probably more than likely ever so wrong.
Date Problem - Part Constant - Part Now()
Nov 3, 2006Hi everyone,
I have refined my query from previous threads to involved a module function. This calculates more acurately no of working days between dates and takes into account a holidays table. (All credit to Arvin Meyer on the module:) )
However because the Leave Year starts at the 1 July and finishes 30 Jun I need to compose the date for any current year Year(Now())
Enclosed scrdmp shows my query design. I can easily get it to work as you see it, but obviously as each year rolls over, the year needs to change.
Have looked at many posts but can't find what I'm looking for. This one will get me over the hurdle.
Many thanks,
