General :: Transfer-text Defaulting To 8 Decimal Points?
Mar 23, 2014
I have a Table with a Field set to Number, Single, Fixed, 2 Decimal points in which I enter Hours (ie 11.25) then at some point I want to extract those new entries to create a Text file transfer.
I have a Macro which extracts those new entries from the main Table and copies/appends them to a new Table which contains only the new data I need to create the File to upload into a Payroll system (using TransferText option).
It all works well EXCEPT, the File it creates insists on showing 8 decimal points and I just cannot get it to show 2 only.I have tried using a calculated field, setting the secondary Table field to Text.why or where these 8 decimals are coming from.
Made an access data base for our company policies and procedures.
Fields are:
Section Section Title Policy Explanation Related Documents - (hyperlink field)
Running a query on the table for the report the delivers the policy.
the Section Field is Rich Text - this is the only way I can figure out how to display decimal point divisions like, 1.1.0, or 6.5.3 (for relevant sections).
Query won't return anything when I set a parameter on Section Feild and I suspect it's because of the Rich Text issue. I've tried smart tag but no avail.
And the next thing I want to do is have an index that gives me Section and Section Title with a go to. How best to achieve that???
This is probably an easy question, but I can't figure out how to get a table to show numbers in 2 decimals points when they are inputted with 2-5 decimal points. I changed the DATA TYPE to Number and DECIMAL PLACES to 2, but when I do that, it just rounds it to a whole number. Please help, thanks!
Hi, I have this query and I would like to have the avg display with only 2 decimal points. This is my SQL and I think I have to use this code but I'm not sure.
FORMAT(CountOfStudent Attended,'.00')
If I ad this after the SELECT statement my query will not work. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

This works
SELECT [Attendance for Avg].CRN, Avg([Attendance for Avg].[CountOfStudent Attended]) AS [AvgOfCountOfStudent Attended] FROM [Attendance for Avg] GROUP BY [Attendance for Avg].CRN;
I have a problem when storing a calculated field with two decimal points. If I set the field to double, fixed, 2 decimal points. For the field it will show the calculations as:
21.364 as 21.36 21.563 as 21.56 21.272 as 21.27
Which is how I want it to be, however when I run a summary of the field rather than showing 64.19 it calculates as 64.20, I know that this is the correct figure but is there any way I can get it to show me the 64.19?
I have a textbox called txtcomments on my form. It is bound to a table field defined as Memo. Now i normally would enter text and produce a report from the comments in my table.
I want to be able to enter text like this in my form, so that my report can be formatted like this: All in one textbox (memo table field). Like this:
*************in my txtbox************************ Accomplishments
Etc Etc Etc
Current / Upcoming Work
Etc Etc Etc
Risks / Challenges
Etc Etc Etc
***************end of txtbox*********** Is this possible? If not, how do you think i can achieve this? I am open to suggestions, please help :D
I am trying to create an attendance database, our company introducing the point system attendance,
Called Off (CO) 2 points Left Early (LE) 1 Point Tardy (Tar) 1 point
Employee can reduce point if they have perfect attendance for 90 days from the last day of violation. For example, an employee absent on 01/01/2015, he will received 2 points, the credit will giving on 04/01/2015, if there is no violation, but if he absent again on 03/31/2015 not only he will received 2 more points his 90 days will start from 03/31/2015, now he will eligible to get credit on 06/29/2015 and so on.So far I have created 3 tables and 1 query.
Tables
Employees: Id, Last Name, First Name Points: Id, Description Points Attendance:Id, Date, Employee ID, Points ID
Query Date Employee ID Last Name First Name Point Description Points
how and which formula to use which calculate the points based on above example.
Does your Tools Reference have an MS Office 15.0 Object Library?
Just had to share this strange occurrence in the VB Code Module:
I use breakpoints all the time, was just using them yesterday.
Noticed that some events seemed to act differently this morning. The front-end was approaching 88 MB (after compress) so it is time for a change anyway.
Created a new blank Access dB (Access 2010) and imported all objects from my last backup revision. Reset the home page and tools References. Matched the settings side by side. As usual, the database shrank from 88 MB to 60 MB. The import all objects will usually compress things about this much.
From the screen shot, put breakpoints in previous code, added a new Lost-focus event and added a message box. None of the breakpoints work. The message box fires on the lost_focus and all of the code in the Click event works fine. But, not a single break point would work.
Totally powered down and restarted the Windows 7 32 bit Enterprise workstation. Still no change.
Took the screen shot of Tool-References from the code module of a two week old archive version. Used it to evaluate my new imported object database.To my surprise, the Microsoft Office 14.0 Object library is now Microsoft Office 15.0 Object Library.Also put all the objects back in the same order. Saved and closed the new imported object database.Now, the breakpoints work just fine.
I had failed to reference the Office 15 Object Library and the VBA Extensibility 5.Office 14 Object Library is nowhere to be found except on my 2 week old backup archive.
Is this a Microsoft auto update? Is this what drives the breakpoint in the code module?
I have a macro which transfers a fixed width file to my desktop. The name is neppow.txt. Can I have this file land with the date dynamcially populated in the name?
I have setup a query from which I have setup a macro which exports the queried data to a .txt delimited file, does anyone know how I can stop it putting Quotes aroung each field and just leave the commas in.
so i have MainForm and PopUp (which is also a form). on the MainForm there is a command button that brings up the PopUp form. on this PopUp form, some data will be entered then the PopUp form will be closed via a command button.
whats the code i would need to take a value from a control on PopUp and place it in a control on MainForm, ideally when the command button closes the PopUp form.so i know it has to go on the command button's on click event, probably before the close form code lol... but i cant figure out how to get the value to transfer over..
I am having problem putting a default value in a field based on the entry of the previous field. We have an Employee table that contains Employee info plus its Department key. Then we have a Department table that contains the Department code and description. I would like to default the department code when an employee is entered. I am having problems attaching the database. If you need to see the database please let me know and I can email it to you. Unfortunately I did not create this database and I am new to Access and have to support it. The form is "Labor Transaction" and want to default a value in 'Department' feild based on the Employee. This field should show the default value but can be changed to another department from the pull down list. Please help :eek:
I have a main data entry form (frmpartquote). From this form I would like to open a new form (products) to create a sub set of records.
When I open the new form to add products to a main quote I would like to transfer the quotenumber on the quote form to the quotenumberfield in the products form.
I use the following code in the on open event in the product
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) If IsOpen("frmpartquote") Then partquotenumber.DefaultValue = Forms!FrmPartQuote!partquoteid End If End Sub
Now this works fine as long as the field is a number.
However I would like to use tartquotenumber as a text field
This is a price check form so it doesnt need to be saved it just needs to display the part no info and quantities with price If i enter a part no into a text box(PN1) on the main form it enters the data into a textbox(PN2) on a subform. Im using a continuous form on the subform and the master/child link is the Part No text box. is there a way to lock the first item to the first line and then be able to enter a second item to display on the next line. I have made the size of the continuous form to one line in my subform but i am only able to enter one part no into the subform because when i setfocus to the PN1 textbox on the main form it clears the first line.
I'm having a problem exporting my table as text and having three fields reporting only 2 decimal places instead of the 4 that i need.
I'm using Access 200 on Windows XP Pro.
I searched the forums and the only thing i could find was to create a querry and using ColumnName: str([dblNumber]) somehow. I don't really unerstand what they were trying to do except that somehow this converts the number to a string. This would work I guess, but I couldn't get it to work.
I have also read somehting about changing the fields in the MSysIMEXColumns table somehow to allow more decimal places in the exprted text file.
I have filed that has been uploaded from excel file in this format 20110307 , but I need this filed named postdate in date format such as 03/07/2011 . How to transfer text filed into date .I use Format([PostDate],'mm/dd/yy') in update query , but the data completely disappeared off the field.
I have set the decimal place property of a text box to 2. Then when i run a query that puts data in that box, the deci places are still well over 2..It lokks to be over riding it, how do I stop this?
I'm building a report that requires me to concatenate several fields plus additional words, etc. But not all of the fields are the same data type. I have the date formatted the way I want it in a date/time field in one table (dd mmmm yyyy), and I want to append that date into a text field in another table, maintaining the same format.
Now, when I do a normal append or update query, it appends as medium date format (dd-mmm-yy). If I change the field type in the original table from date/time to text, it also shows up in medium date format.
Any ideas on how to make this work, or other options for concatenating fields with different data types?
edit: I don't want to change the data type of the original field to text.
Hi I am building a forecasting database that will have known amounts entered for various projects. If a project has no known future amount (lets say for next March), I want my query to calculate a projected number by taking the most recent equivilent month (for this last March,which may be a number or even zero) and applying a growth factor.
I thought to use Dlookup in this way, but it is not working:
I have created "placeholders" for the non-existant months in a prior query (i.e. this formula should replace null cells w/ projected values only if there is no actual value)
I would appreciate any suggestions very much! thanks
I have generated a combobox search for my form and I am able to select names that are different and the information is generated on the form. However, when I have two names that have the same last name my selection will default to the primary key instead of the name I selected in the combobox. Here is the code I am using:
Here is my RowSource: SELECT [Client Info].CltLname, [Client Info].CltFname, [Client Info].DOB, [Client Info].[Last 4 SSN] FROM [Client Info] ORDER BY [Client Info].CltLname, [Client Info].CltFname;
I have run a query to sort by CltLname and then by CltFname
Private Sub cboClientSearch_AfterUpdate() 'Moves to Customer Name text box and 'finds the record of whatever name is selected in the combo box DoCmd.ShowAllRecords Me!CltLname.SetFocus DoCmd.FindRecord Me!cboClientSearch 'Set value of combo box equal to an empty string Me!cboClientSearch.Value = "" End Sub
how to get the combobox to display what I have selected instead of defaulting to the earliest primary key associated with the same last name?
we have got a table with the vehicle details with a sub forms (main Vehicle Details, Subform Booking details)
we cannot allocate a car until a week previous to the dates required.
we are using a recored (To booked) that we can store all the dates in, the idea really is to have a button we can click that brings up the parameter requesting the REG PLATE for the car that when entered will cut and copy the booking details from the NOT BOOKED into the corrosponding vehicle is this possible?
I dont mind a button beside each record in the sub form but really needs to cut + copy the fields beside it
Field Names are: FirstName Surname Date From Time From DateTill TimeTill Reason
I recently designed a new database according an old database in order to replace it. I found that I have trouble transferring the data from old to new database.
Only transferring data from one table to another
Database A: [table]![customer] to Database B: [table]![Client]
I have used Transfer text cmd to export query to text in MS access. This works fine. path= "D:/test/"DoCmd.TransferText acExportFixed,"Query1",path,False But i need to change the path dyanmically as my wish when i run this query. Like i may save my txt in desktop or C: or D:. I dont want to hard code path as above.
Is there any way to achieve this? If i get the dyanmic location stored in path variable i can achieve it. But i dont know how to achieve this.
Actually i was confused Docmd.OutputTo acOutputQuery,query1
Above query prompts me for selecting location. But transferText doesn't? why?
As this application is stored on server. If i give a static path, its exporting in Server D:/test/ But i need this to be stored in my local. This can be done only if it prompts box for user to select the location.
