General :: Text Filters - Entered Value Not Valid For Field
Jan 29, 2014
"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.
I have created a text box for people to enter search criteria, e.g. customer surname. The results appear in a list box underneath. When I select the record it should open up the customer's details but in Access 2013 it produces an error "The value you entered isn't valid for this field". The first sub-routine pulls the search data into a Row Source:
Private Sub txtCustomerSearch_Change() On Error GoTo Err_txtCustomerSearch_Change Dim strSource As String strSource = "SELECT DistinctRow CustomerNo, [End Date], Surname, FirstName, Address1,
I have a simple table with just 5 field. When trying to sort i get error message "the value you entered is not valed for the sort id". I get this for three of the fields.
How do i save a record as soon as text is entered into the textbox in a form?I need it to save without moving on to the next form without having to click a button
I'm trying to turn any period entered into a certain textfield on my form into a comma (to prevent access from turning 1.1 into 11 for example).
I have the on dirty event set to me.fieldname = replace(me.fieldname,".",",").
Everything works fine as long as I use the period key on the numpad. However, when I use the regular period key on the keyboard, it does not convert it.
So i have made a query which filters the text you type in your text box on a form. This is working great, but then this morning I had some records that contain some blank fields. My query does not show those records even if they contain the same text that I would type in my search form.This is my expression in my query of one column:
Like [Forms]![searchform]![Qprojectomschrijving] & "*"
Basically what I'd like to do is to sum the time, and output it in the text box for the valid check box. For instance (in the picture attachment) if the 'Running' check box is ticked, Access will add 15 minutes to the 'Total Running Time' text box. If 'Running' is checked again on the next Record, Access will add an extra 15 minutes (totalling 30 minutes) to the 'Total Running Time'. On the 3rd Record if 'Down' is checked, Access will add 15 minutes to the 'Total Down Time' text box, the same for 'Change Over'.
It seems I've overstepped in setting up Users and Permissions, in MS Access 2007, on an .mdb. When I enter any of the user names and passwords I've created, I'm told that it's not a valid account name or password. I'm wondering how this could be possible since I'm staring at them in the Snapshot file.
My question is this: I can access the .mdw file as "Admin", is there anyway to unwind this mess?
I am attempting to split an Access 2007 database. My company has two locations. From my location we are remote connecting into the server. While down there they are connecting directly. When I split the database, people in my location can use it fine. When people down there use it, they get a not valid path error.
This is because the network drives are mapped differently. I have been reading that the solution is to use the UNC for the back end file path.
I've been asked to try to propagate a filter result on all the tables on a database. Hence I'm trying to know if the action of a filter works on a single table only, or if it can work on more than one.
I have developed a database in Microsoft Access 2013. I wish to install and run that database on another machine on which I have already installed the MS Access Runtime.
In order to allow the database to run correctly on the target machine, I need to add two Trusted Locations - one for the front-end database and another for the back-end database.
The folder paths on the runtime machine are different to those on the development machine, so how do I add Trusted Locations (on my development machine) which remain valid when the database is copied to the target machine?
Must I trick it by simply creating an identical, dummy folder structure on the development machine (would this even work?), or is there a more elegant way?
I need to export a table from Access to a Paradox DB file for use with an ancient program that unfortunately we're still running. The problem I have is that the table must be created precisely as stated in the programs manual, which means the fields must not only be named exactly but also the type and size.
I've managed to do this...almost, the only problem I have at the moment is that I can't get Access to export date fields that Paradox will see as a date field, Paradox reads them as a timestamp field. I've tried setting them as a short date, integer or formatted text but Paradox simply won't accept them as a date type.
The whole purpose of this exercise is so Paradox won't even need to be opened if I can export this table correctly, but at the moment the only way to sort it is to open Paradox and change the field types manually.
Does anybody have any clue how I can successfully export a date field from Access that Paradox will see correctly? Ironically there isn't even any data being stored in these date fields, but the program won't run unless they exist and are of type D!
I have a Table in my Db that is a link to an Excel spreadsheet. Of around 200 records just one is giving me a problem, in one field.
The Excel SS itself is the result of links to about 8 other SSs
The problematic field is a part number and is formatted as text, in the linked table and the underlying SSs. But this one bl**dy field which should be '1707' is shown as "#Num!" Which suggests to me Access thinks it is an number.
Other linked cells like "12345" are fine ???
I have tried putting a letter infront and it then works correctly. Remove the letter, back to "#Num!" again!
Can anyone suggest a way of forcing the formatting to text please?
So I'm new to Access, and I am trying use a query that can be referred to by a chart. So the idea is that I use the query to select data only from the date range that the user chooses on the home screen of the database for their chart (using the command Between [Forms]![Home Screen]![From] And [Forms]![Home Screen]![to])..Although it has been working fine for charts that only have two parameters, when I attempted to make a line graph that sorts by 3 parameters (i.e. date and amount for different types of something), it stops. I get the message that "The Microsoft Office Access database does not recognize [Forms]![Home Screen]![From] as a valid field name or expression" or something to that effect.I'd rather not remove the whole specification created by using the dates from the home screen, as it has been working fine on all other aspects of my charts and reports.
I have a small database for producing various financial reports, by date period (from/to). It works perfectly except when there are either no payment records or no receipt records for the chosen period. Naturally enough, MS Access comes up with the message "Database engine does not recognize 'payment' as a valid field name or expression" --- !!!
Is there some way I can tell MS Access that I don't mind if eg the payment column result is zero?
The structure of the table on which the report is based (via a crosstab query) is :
transaction date auto number ID transaction type (either payment or receipt, chosen by form's drop down box) - TEXT amount - CURRENCY receipt type - TEXT payment type - TEXT fundno - TEXT
The crosstab query design is as per the attached jpeg file
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
-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?
Hi there all, I tried the search option on this board but maybe its just that i dont know how to ask the question. I have a text box on my form with and afterupdate event that inputs todays date in to another text box on the same form, can this be set so that once that date is apperas in the text box that no further updates to the date can take place.
I have a text box, which requires a 8-digit number entry. I have wrote the code to check that the length is 8 and if it isn't a label will turn visible next to the field telling the user entry must be 8 digits.
This works for when i enter a number less than 8-digits but when i input a number with more digits as it does not fit into the text box it turns it to a scientific format value and when the code runs it shows the length is actually 8! And therefore the entry is valid!
I.e. when i input 123456789 the text box shows 1.23E+08 which is 8 charecters!
I dont want any error messages to pop up as i handle them by code and use labels to show the error message next to the problem field and i would like to keep this consistent. Is there any way i can do this by a function or a property in the table or form?
I have a form with some vertical unbound text boxes, they are table headings for my data, but they need to be editable. I can enter data in them perfectly but once you close the form the data is lost. I would like the data to be saved on the form. I have tried turning them to labels but then they are not editable. What should I try next?
Here is what I am trying to do. I have a query with 2 fields. "Time In" & "Time Out". What I would like to happen is this. Whenever a character, let's say a "t", is entered into that field I would like the current time to populate that field. Right now we are actually typing in the time. I have the fields set up as DateTime fields currently.
Is there a way to have a text box filled out based on the value of a field. There will be only 2 possible phrases for the text box.
=IF( <Expr> Forms![Workorder]![Disposition])=("Return As Is","DISAPPROVE","APPROVE")
This is what I have tried but I get syntax error.The form is Workorder and the field is Dispostion. When the Disposition is "Return As Is" then I want to have the text box yield "DISAPPROVE" otherwise it should be "APPROVE".
