General :: Undefined Function Format Number

1) Visual Basic for Applications;

I tried to check off the 3rd and the 4th one, but it came to nought (error didn't dissapear). What else can I do ?
Tables :: Text File Import Function Will Not Recognize Dates In Certain Format
Oct 8, 2013I upgraded to Access-2010 and the Text File Import function will not recognize dates in the format YYYY-MM-DD. The import dialogue sees enough to recognize the field as a date, but then every date encountered is written to the Import-Errors table. This is true whether the file has a .txt or .csv extension. The actual file format is .csv.

May 4, 2012I am exporting data from access 2007 to Excel 2007 using VBA code. I have a whole number, which I want displayed as whole number. But after the export, the number is using the 1000's seperator in Excel. So for example if my original number in access table is 12000, it is showing up as 12,000 in the excel file.It has something to do with the NumberFormat property. I have tried doing this but doesn't work.
objSheet.Range("A1:A7").NumberFormat = "General"
General :: Auto Generate ID Where Field Is Text Format
Jul 10, 2012I 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.

Undefined Function 'format'
Apr 9, 2006Percentage: Format(CountOfRegular Booking/DCount("*","tblBooking"),"Percent")I get an error: 'Undefined function 'Format'' - how can I fix this? The above expression is supposed to convert values into percentages. I copied the expression from someone's sample database (to help me) and I just changed the appropriate parts around, but I get that error. I put a space between 'Regular Booking' because that's how it is presented as my field name, but I also put them together as one word to see if that would solve matters, but no luck. The sample database works fine, however.Sample query expression:Percentage: Format(CountOfbooleanFieldName/DCount("*","TableName"),"Percent")Thanks guys. :D

Mar 23, 2007Does anyone know of a function that will change the date format from yyyymmdd to mmddyyyy? I have a linked table to a data repository, I'm using a date field in a query and would like to use the dateadd function to return a certain date range from 7 days prior.

Any suggestions?

Text Box Format
Feb 18, 2005Hello all -
I have a text box in a report that I want to combine a label and a date field (date field is based on a table). I need to format the date field to be different than the way it is in the table though. I used the "Format" part of the property window to say (mmmm", "yyyy) but it only works if the date field is the only thing in the text box.
Example:
In the text Box, I want ="Medical Record Review - & [Date Added]" where [Date Added] now says e.g., 9/11/04, and I want it to say September, 2004. Putting (mmmm", "yyyy) in the format part of the property window works only if [Date Added] is the only thing in the text box. Is there a way to include both the text and the called field in the text box AND format the [Date Added] field as I need?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much.

Conditionally Format Text Box
Oct 18, 2005Hi All,
I have built a code database where right now I display my sample code in a textbox on my main form. I was hoping to replace the text box with a Rich Text Box. I could then format the code to sort of match what would be shown in the VB/VBA IDE.
I know the Rich Text Box was disabled in Access 2003 for security reasons. I also know that there is another free RTF control. I was hoping to find out how Microsoft intended for us to replace the Rich Text Box. I could use a Web Browser Control but I was not sure of the best way to add this to my form and then feed it the data that was originally bound to the text box.
Thanks for any insight you would be able to provide.

Format Text In Combo Box
May 22, 2006Hi there, I hope someone will take pity on me and help me as I am new to databases so here goes.
I have combo boxes in a form that the user would like to be able to press the Enter key and just go to a new line, not go to the next field. This is so they can have say 4 sentences but have each one on a new line in the combo box. Hope this makes sense.
Thanks
Coverting Date Format To Text
May 19, 2005Hi
I have 2003 Access Dbase from which some of the fields must be exported as comma deliminated txt and email to a repository.
I need the end user to see DOB, date format dd/mm/yyyy (15/06/1959) but it must be exported as ,15061959,Town,State....etc
Now I have formatted Table, Form & Query Fields (dd/mm/yyyy) and then carefully chosen the text export options...Removing the / date deliminator etc and saved the export format & kind. Included the correct path etc in to a macro and used Notepad.exe to display.
When it displays... as follows...15061959 0:00:00, IT ADDS A TIME?????
Short term workaround I have end user entering 2x IE 01/01/0001 & 01010001 as seperate text field. If I format date as ddmmyyyy then it displays this way for end user of course and not acceptable for other reports
Is there some way I get around this...or code/query/function I can use to convert for export purposes??????
Default Value - Text Or Date? - Yy Or Mm Format
Mar 6, 2005I am hoping someone can help me, a real novice at Access 2000 - I am trying to construct a couple fields in a table, 1 of which will show a default value equal to a 2-digit year (yy) based on the current date. The second will display a default value equal to a two digit month (mm) based on the current date. Text fields would be ideal, but date field could work if it's the only way. Thank you for helping out a newbie.
View 4 Replies View RelatedFormat As Text In Append Query
Aug 8, 2005I have some code that creates a dynamic "Append To" query. The problem is that when the code is run it creates the query but generates a Data Type Mismatch error. I have tracked this down to a [clientnumber] field which is formatted as text in both the main database and the one the Append to query is updating.
The client number appears as a criteria and this works for finding the client's record but it will not append it unless I enclose it in quotes. When it's in quotes it works fine.
Can anybody give me a clue as to how I can include, in the code, a formatting command that makes the information inserted into the criteria field appear enclosed in quotes. Or-
Perhaps explain why the problem exists when both fields are formatted the same in both the main table and the Appended To table.
thanks
