Tables :: Access Input Mask For Text Field

Nov 8, 2014

I'm trying to set an input mask for a text field.

The data will be 1 to 4 digits preceded by 1/

I have tried the masks 1/####;; , "1"/####;; 1/####;; , "1"/#### , '1'/#### but none work as if the first nubber entered is a 1 it replaces the 1 in 1/

If it is a 2 then it works fine.

I can set the 1 to and f (f/) and it works no problem.

General :: Highlighting Particular Text From Nearby Field To Adjacent Field

Nov 4, 2013

I am having a database in access and i want to highlight particular text from nearby column to the next column. For example,

--GCCCAGGCCCAAGAATGTCGCCGT GGAGGACTGTCTGTACATCAACGTGTTCGTGCCACGGCCCAGGCCCAAGAATGTCGCCGTCATGCTGT
GGATCTTCGGGGGTGGCTTCTGACAAGCTATTGTGTTCGAAT ACACTGATT
--CGAATGAACGCTGTCCCTTCCACTGCTGGCAACATGCTCCCAGCCTTCGACAATGGCCCTCAATTCGA
GGACTGGTTT CAACGAATGAACGCTGTCCCTTCCACTGCTGGAACTTCCGACTCCTTGTTGCCTAGAATGTCGCCGTCATGC

The first column text it should take as query and then it should only search the adjacent cell and highlight that. While searching in the internet i came across a code also, But i dont know whether i can use that code or not.

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[Search]
(
@searchTerm nvarchar(100),
@style nvarchar(100) = 'font-weight:bold; background-color:yellow',
@maxLen INT = 100

[code]....

Calculated String Input Field In An Input Form.

Jan 30, 2005

Hello,

I need to create a field in an input form that is simply the concatenation of two other text fields. I have tried all sorts of things, but when I look at the data in the table that field.

I have a field called ID that I want to be created like this:

=Format([UniqueID],"00000") & "-" & [Mosque]

This works well in my output fields, but does not work the same way on the input form. It needs to be based on the currently input values from the current record. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
--Robert

General :: Address Text Field / Focus Field

Sep 24, 2012

-How can I address the fields on my forms? I just want to create a button that increases a value by one on click.I tried

FORMNAME.FIELDNAME = FORMNAME.FIELDNAME + 1
FIELDNAME = FIELDNAME + 1
FORMNAME!FIELDNAME = FORNAME!FIELDNAME + 1
but the button does nothing. And that is all I found by googling.

-How to focus a field at the beginning? I want to be able to start writing always in the same field.

FIELDNAME.SetFocus

does not work. I dont know if I made any mistake during creating tables and forms, but these codes should actually work, shouldnt they?

General :: Field Was Changed From Text To Memo

Jan 6, 2013

The 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?

General :: Auto Generate ID Where Field Is Text Format

Jul 10, 2012

I have
Table called "Products"
Field 1= "Product ID" which is a text field (PK) but numbers are used (ie 1 -20)
Field 2= Products -showing our list of 20 products

When I enter a new product, currently I have to look in the table to find the last ID used then use the next one available. I have created a form to be used for data entry to enter new products

What I am trying to do is :- 1, have the form open at data entry level but still able to scroll and see all records and 2, Have the form auto generate the next number available. For example, I have 20 products entered so when the form opens to enter a new product, the ID is automatically at number 21. I know absol nothing about coding. I have looked at other suggestions on the forum incl the DMAX +1 and having tried and not worked, I wondered if its because the field is a text field or I am trying to insert the code in the wrong place.

General :: Simple Text Field Comparison To Blanks

Jul 16, 2012

I'm using Access and VB for the first time, trying to develop an application for hobby use. I built and populated my database, and I'm building my first module. Unfortunately, one of the most simple actions is tripping me up. I'm attempting to perform an action only if a 255-character text field in a file doesn't contain data, but comparing it to " " or "Space$(n)" doesn't yield the actions I'm expecting.

General :: Create A Table With Single Text Field

Jul 8, 2014

Encountered this bug in Access 2010:

1) Create a table with a single text field
2) Enter some text values, including one which begins either "aa", "AA" or "Aa" (but not "aA"!)
3) Sort the field, and note where it puts the string(s) created in (2)

For me, they appear at the wrong end of the sorted list! I have tested this in Access 2007 and 2010 and it only happens in 2010. I'm using 32 bit Access on 64 bit Win 7 Pro.

"The value you entered isn't valid for the field 'ID'.

For example, you may have entered text in a numeric field or a number that is greater than the FieldSize setting permits.

This error happens when i try to filter my results and select the topic I wanna search for. The field size is almost double what my longest field is. I am trying to do is from a table i used a lookup wizard to search that table for all the topics under that table.

General :: Concatenate Two Text Fields Into A Memo Field In Query?

Sep 5, 2014

I'm trying to concatenate two text fields into a memo field using an expression in a select query. My problem is that the text fields together end up more than 255 characters, so I need the resulting field to be a memo instead. I can't change the underlying text fields to memo fields because this is a large database used by others who need those fields to be text.

General :: Checkboxes - Create Text Field On A Report That Show All Yes Answers

Apr 8, 2013

I have multiple fields in a table that are set up as Yes/No and display as checkboxes on a form. Now I need to create a text field on a report that showes all the Yes answers. The text field needs to figure out if it's a Yes answer, then display the field name, if there is more than one yes answer in the fields it is looking at, it should separate each with a "," . This is a large text field, that could show as many as 10 Yes answers.

What is the best way to go about doing this? I use Access 2010

General :: Text Box Event Coding - Jump To Next Field After Using Barcode Scanner

May 20, 2015

I am creating a inventory database for work. I am trying to get the cursor to jump to the next text box for data entry using a barcode scanner. I have a limit on how many characters there can be in this field but yet even after it is all filled the cursor stays in that same field. I am fairly new to access, especially in code building. Do I use "After Update" under "Event" in the "Property Sheet"?
