Enum Or Array?
Dec 27, 2006I have built the first part of a table analyser into one of my projects as below:
It lists a complete list of tables except system tables for the db being assessed and writes all the table names to a table then the table properties, the fields plus there properties And relasionships and Indexes.
The Idea behind this is When I build a system I always use a frontBack Arrangement and versions within my management system.
there are always two Datafiles one the working datafile where the changes are made during design and the production model used by the users which is the one that will need to be updated by this tool.
The problem I'm having is I don't need to store all the field properties within the tables as a lot wont be used for updating the production model.
So I've been looking at ways I can generate a list of property names that I want stored so when my code loops through the properties list it can before writing the property name and value to the table check it against a list.
My question is would it be better to use an array or enum so I could check for an item and how could I best achieve this as I've not used enums before and I'm not that good at Arrays but there's more help there.
I have in the past used a list like: Prop1,prop2,prop3 which I then check using instr like instr("Prop1") which will return a start position so I know it's in the list but I think this is a bit messy so want to make the improvements
Any help would be much appreciated

Modules & VBA :: Why Isn't Enum Returning Correct Value
Aug 7, 2014I am using MS Access with SharePoint Lists and some Access Tables to generate reports in pre-formatted MS Excel Worksheets. My main module opens several classes. One of the classes receives a worksheet to keep in a historical book. This class can receive any one of several different types of pre-formatted worksheets. After all is said an done the class adds a cover sheet to the consolidated workbook and adds hyperlinks to the other sheets, kinda like a table of content.In the class I have the following in the general declaration.
code:
Public Enum BookType
A = 1
B = 2
End Enum
Private pBookType As BookType
Later in the class I have the following:
Code:
Public Property Let LoadBookType(ByVal btNewValue As BookType)
pBookType = btNewValue
AddWorkBook
End Property
in the main modual I have the following
Code:
classConsolidated.LoadBookType = A
When assigning the above property it passes in "11"
if I change it to the following
Code:
classConsolidated.LoadBookType = BookType.A
it passes in "1" as I expect and use in a Select Case statement later in the class.So why does one pass in "11" but the other passes in "1"?

Oct 31, 2013I am creating a database that keeps track of everyone who is currently "In" at work. I am giving a set number of people "administrative" access to the backend where they can view the status of everyone. The plan is to have them export each daily report into an Excel document. Every morning when the administrator comes in, he/she will need to click a button that clears everyones status so they can start over. The employees names and payscale stays the same and does not clear.
I am all about automation! If there is a way where the specified fields automatically clear, say after midnight.

Sep 17, 2014I have several fields that were set up as text fields since the numbers would never be used for calculation. But now my users want to see 100,000 instead of 100000. I have looked everywhere for an answer but do not know if it is possible without retyping the data. The text or rather the numbers that are text can be from anywhere of 1 to 1,000,000 plus. They are just used to show population figures. How to do this with formatting?

View 6 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Copying Hyperlink As Text
Mar 15, 2013I need to get an email address from a field and place it onto another form.. HOWEVER I dont want it as a hyperlink, nor do I want the mailto blah blah coming over.. I just want the email address as TEXT.In the application the user opens the email form by clicking an icon on an invoice screen, this will allow them to automatically email to the client.. Once they open the email screen they naturally see an arrangement of other boxes where they can enter subject, email description etc..
At the same time there are two boxes, the "To" box and the"From" box... I want these boxes to be auto updated with the email address (to save time). When the user clicks the icon on the invoice screen it automatically copies and displays the email address of the client in the "To" box on the invoice.. The problem I am having is that it is displaying as useless information which is associated with the hyperlink.The email address comes from a field that has already previously been associated as a hyperlink, and it HAS to come from this field, I have no way around it.... All of this information is coming from an address book section from a field that is a hyperlink field.. If it was a txt field then I would not be having this problem.
As I already have various forms open displaying information I am able to used simple code to fill in various bits of info to save time... Because of this I am using simply code to copy the email address from one form to another:
Forms![Email]![To] = Forms![AddressBook]![Email]
Obviously the above code is simple and works for 90% of this type of approach, however there must be some other code that I need to use to first translate the email address to text...
In the end I don't care what I have to do as long as it works.. Remember though that the original field is a hyperlink field and must remain so, I cannot simply convert that to txt..

General :: Field Was Changed From Text To Memo
Jan 6, 2013The database contains the records of a collection of thousands of photographs and negatives.
One of the fields contains information on the subject matter of each pic and can sometimes be very long. The field was changed from text to memo so as to hold more characters but they appeared in one long string, which means a lot of scrolling to see the information. That has been changed back to text and we are adding a second or third record such as xxx-xxx-xxx cont1 xxx-xxx-xxx cont2 so as to get shorter strings. Is there a way to make the text wrap onto a second or third line automatically after a specific number of characters have been entered or can a carriage return be put in to force the text to a new line?
