General :: Scientific Notation Displayed When Entering Data In Number Field
Mar 4, 2013
I have a "Currency" field in a table and it holds large numbers (on which I will need to do basic arithmetic operations at some point, so I must store them as a numbers). I have set the "Standard" format on the TextBox used to display it on a form because I want to have thousand separators; I've also set "0" for decimals as I don't need to display them.
So everything displays as I want it even with the largest number that can be stored all the decimals are showing in the text field, but when I click on the field to edit the value instead of having the complete value it is displayed as scientific notation. I would like to display the complete value when editing it instead of the scientific notation, how can I achieve this, if it is possible?
A numeric example: If a user enters 1234567891012, the value displayed is indeed 1234567891012 but if they click on the field again the displayed value while editing is 1.23456789012E+11 (and it switches back to normal notation when the focus changes to another field). I would like to show 123456789012 all the time. I know that Access is capable of it most likely because if I set the Format to "Fixed" the values are always displayed completely (no scientific notation), but unfortunately I would like the thousands separators to show and it is not possible with the "Fixed" format.
Two last details, the scientific notation while editing does not kick in unless there is more than 11 digits in the number and the field width (and/or TextBox width) are sufficient to display up to 20 digits.

I am maintaining an Access 2003 application that is running on Windows 7 64Bit Enterprise OS setup.
I have a form in the application that displays a number of records with each record having a unique id and a field called ClockHrs which is stored as a Number (Long Integer) type.
I have a textbox that displays the sum of the ClockHrs field.
The textbox contains no code behind.
The Control source property of the textbox is set to '= SUM([ClockHrs])'
ClockHrs
10
10
30
15
10
15
25
===
115
The textbox displays the result of the sum 115 in scientific notation as 1.15 +02 .

I have a report with 4 subreports. The report contains calculated fields that use the totals field in the different sub reports.
My issue is when one or more of the subreports does not have data in it. The sub report dissapears while in print preview, removing the totals row and ruining the calculated fields in the main report.
How can I keep the sub report visible even if no data is displayed? Or have it invisible but have the calculated fields still reference.

I have a form into which I scan a serial number in one of its text boxes, I can then select search and am presented with a report relating to that serial number. All simple so far. Now for the dilemma... The barcode I scan consists of 15 characters like so, 53423PP98765432, numbers-PP-numbers.. the problem I have is that I only need the numbers after the PP's, in other words the last 8 digits. My question is, is there something I could do to make the text box omit the first 7 characters automatically, leaving me with the 8 I need, instead of me having to curser into the middle and manually delete the first 7 characters. I only need the last 8 because of the link with another database that only uses the last 8 digits.
Also, on the device I scan, there are 2 other barcodes, above and below the one I need to scan. If I scan one of the others by mistake, I have to highlight and delete the results to try and scan the middle barcode. The other barcodes also have a different length to the one I need. So is it possible to write some code that says, ok, you have scanned a barcode with 10 or 12 digits, we don't want either of those, so deletes it for me to try again, but then recognizes the 15 digit barcode and auto deletes the first 7 characters as mentioned above.

I want to get access to create amazon shipments of 15kg in weight made up of a variety of products (the shipment goes to amazon)
So I have a products table with all the weights per unit for each SKU in it.
I've just created a simple 'form', where I input the SKUs I want to send to Amazon & the quantity (this updates a temporary table), therefore I end up with this in my temporary table....
SKU QTY
XX01 15
YY01 10
...& so on.
I've made a relationship from the SKU of the temp table (the table where I'm inputting my data to), back to the product table (where the weight per unit is held).
ok, what I seek, is that each time I enter a SKU & Quantity via my form, to see some onscreen data which tells me the ongoing sum of all SKU weights I've used. Therefore I guess my question is...what functionality in Access should I be using that allows me to input data & yet also provides me with onscreen real time data based on some 'behind the scenes' calculations? From my limited understanding, a form is to get data into Access, a report is to get data out....but I want to get data into Access & see the result at the same time!

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 wondered if its because the field is a text field or I am trying to insert the code in the wrong place.

uh.. I guess the title pretty much sums it up... Is there a way to enter data in a text box or something once, and have it applied to all the filtered records?
I have it set up so that we can sort by project number, and it displays only the invoices that havent been assigned to a bill (we recover the expenses form our parent company). I dont want to have to enter the same bill number to each of the filtered records individually.
Thanks

I am creating a log in form, it checks the user name which is unique. if the user has entered a password, it shows only one password text box, they enter the password, if it is correct they enter the database, otherwise they return to the text box.
But if they have not entered a password before the form opens with two text boxes, one for the password and one to confirm the password is typed correct, if the are different a message box shows telling them that they are different, now is where i having problems, when they have typed the two passwords and they are correct i want them to save this password in the same record "Password" as the selected "username" record, I can find the "username" record by doing a Dlookup, easy, but i am stuck how to then save the password from the text box where the selected username record is.
My table "staff" has fields of "IDStaff", "FirstName", "Surname", "Password", "Username".

I have a simple table with two fields in that table called:
1. BankName
2. BankNumber
Each bank has a bank number. For example Bank XYZ and all of its branches have the same Bank Number 123. There are 5 banks I have listed in a combo list under the BankName field. I can also type in a different bank in that same field if it is not listed in the combobox list.
Now, I want the BankNumber to automatically populate based on what I choose under BankName. If the BankName is manually entered (for banks that are not in the combobox), or if the BankName field is blank, I want the BankNumber field to be able to enter a number manually.
For example, if I go to the BankName field and under the combobox I select Bank XYZ, i want the BankNumber field to automatically populate as 123. If the BankName has a bank name that was manually entered, i want BankNumber field to allow me to manually enter a number.
Thanks for ur help. I couldn't figure this simple request out.

Hi,
I'm new to this. I'm trying to enter data (it's actually Latitude and Longitude co-ordinates) from an existing Excel source into an Access database which has input masks of 00°00'00.00"L;0;0 (Latitude) and 000°00'00.00"L;0;0 (Longitude) in the respective fields. However I cannot get the information to import or display correctly. I did an "export data" of the respective table (hence fields) to Excel to try and get the correct entry format. An example of the Lat exported was 24°49'41.81"N and Long was 067°01'44.02"E (but with a very small ' in front but only visible in the data entry line in Excel, not in the actual spreadsheet table???)
However when I try to enter the data (even using the exact same little degree symbol, apostrophe, and quotation marks) it does not enter the access fields correctly. On closer scrutiny of the exported Excel format I note a small ' at the very beginning of the 24°49'41.81"N or 067°01'44.02"E string. But as I said previously only visible in the data entry line next to the formula button. Not on the spreadsheet cell.
However even when I "Paste Special" "values only" my new co-ordinates into the same entry location as one exported, it will still not import, or display correctly. If I go into the Access database directly there is a form where if I need to enter the new co-ordinates (using lat example above) I only have to enter 24 49 41 81 N (spaces between) and it will show correctly as 24°49'41.81"N
I'm getting desparate as I don't want to have to change all the details manually. Anyone know what my correct format from an Excel spreadsheet should be?
Apologies for lengthy story! Difficult to describe problem with degree symbols etc

I need to add a condition to the already existing criteria:
The existing Criteria is: Count the rows where the value in a column is either "Yes" or "MayBe",
AND now I would like to add another condition:Check if in the same 'Report' tab, but a different column, the value is "Europe"
Essentially, I would like to count how many rows in Column 5 have the answer "Yes" or "MayBe" WHEN the Continent is "Europe"
Range("B2").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _
"=SUM(COUNTIF('Report'!R[1]C[5]:R[2498]C[5],""Yes""),COUNTIF('Report'!R[1]C[5]:R[2498]C[5],""MayBe""))"

I am looking into re-creating something I have created in Microsoft Excel into Microsoft Access.What I do in the Excel spreadsheet, is when I type in an order number, various fields in the spreadsheet are populated using vlookups and ODBC's.
I wish to re-create this in Access but not sure how. I have a basic form, with various fields such as, order number, part number, description, quantity.What I have in my mind is that I would like to be able to type in an order number, then the rest of the fields would be populated by a query to a SQL Server database.i can see a way to do this using VBA but would rather look for a more direct way if possible.

I wish to extract data from my access database...namely all packages we are taking to the post office for dispatch that day. The post office form looks like this...
I need to extract the name the address & postal service used (this data is all contained in our access database. I envisage using a 'flag' to trap those orders that haven't been posted yet (in other words export only those database entries that have not been flagged as posted, then afterwards update the database to change the flag to 'posted')
My dilemma is that I've not really used reports much (I'm assuming that reports is the correct way to go here)...how do you format the output of a report, when you don't know how many lines are going result (some days might see 10 order, other days 20 ...and so on)...
