If I have three fields

(ie SMITHK66)
Thanks in advance
In a field “NAME” I have “Adam Smith”.
From this field I want in a QBE window (not in VB) to make two new fields “FIRST NAME” “Adam” and “LAST NAME” “Smith”.
In Excel there are the functions FIND and SEARCH with which I take the number of the gap “ ” (5) between Adam and Smith and with the functions LEN, RIGHTS and LEFTS I have a result.
What could I do in Access 2003?
I know how to Grab the Right and left Characters and grab the mid characters from a field value
ex: Right([fieldName],4)
My question is how to I grab characters based on a space
Say for instance "Fred Smith" or a name field. There are going to be varing lengths of last names...but the format is the same...First Name, Space, Last Name....
QUESTIONS:
How do I search the string, count to the space, then take all characters after the Space?
One step further how would I grab the middle name in this example?
"Fred M Smith"
I am trying to create a database to manage some project related functions. the main thing I want it to do is manage the resource allocation and costs related to fixed price projects and ultimately be able to produce reports that show the Bid vs Forecast vs Actual in relation to someones time and hence cost.in building the first table which I want to store the initial Bid data. I have a need to have fields automatically generate based on the value of two other fields. this is used to identify how long the project will run for.
for example:
prject start date of 1/1/2014
project end date of 31/12/2014
Auto Generate 12 fields in which to put the monthly resource usage for each resource.
I have one field with complete url´s.
Example
http://www.rocketspanish.com/links_spanish_immersion.php
or

I've come across a problem that doesn't make sense to me. I have a form with a combo box on it. Each time the combo box is used or the form is moved to another record it triggers an event to update the text boxes.
I get the information for the text boxes from a query. Everything was working smoothly until I decided to add a text box to the form to be filled in. My thought was I add the column from the query to the code and it will update. No dice. It doesn't recognize any information in the query. But when I run the query as a standalone it sees the text. When i open the table that holds the text, it is still there.
Code:
Private Sub cboDoctor_AfterUpdate()
'update doctor fields on the update of the combo box
If Len(Me.cboDoctor) > 0 Then
Call DoctorName_Change
[code]...
When i step through the code it shows values for each of the columns except for column 11. It reports as 'null.' Things I've tried:
-Updating the combo box by reselecting the value for the record.
-Restarting DB.
-Changing from one record in the combo box back to the original record.
Is there a limit of columns that can be used? Column 10 works just fine...
I have a report that is purely for points gained from products. Each product is split into 3 (e.g. Investment A, B + C) and there is a indicator that means the points gained can be added up (e.g. I for Investment and S for Savings).
I have made the report which is many unbound fields. There is a summary section for all points added together with fields Total Amount, Monthly Target, Quarterly Amount and Quarterly Target.
Then the report is split into each of the 4 products (Each of these have different amounts of points. Number indicates it):
Investments (10), Savings (15), Pensions (15) and Protection of Life Savings (20).
Each of these have 4 fields - Total Amount, Target Amount, Quarterly Amount and Quarterly Target.
I need a way to generate these point scores using the Product_Points field. I already have Quarterly Target and Target Amount because there is a set field called Points_Annual_Target.
EDIT: I also don't want it to come up with the 'insert parameters' so all the info is one page.
I have a database with a bunch of related tables. One holds information on (let's say) types of food. A field in that table tells whether the food is HOT or COLD. Foods are grouped by MEALS in a related table - the PK of the foods table is stored as an field in the MEALS table. What people here are looking for is a report that lists all the foods in each MEAL, the temperature of the food, and whether the meal is HOT, COLD, or MIXED - foods are both HOT and COLD. I've got a report that lists all the FOODs, grouped by MEALs - it's just the overall temperature of the MEAL that I am missing right now.

I need some help here and any would be muchly apprieciated.
I am building a database for a theme park fast pass system where a customer can book themselves a place on a ride at three session times a day.
Now my problem is, that I need to generate a card number. 5555 1946 as the first 8 digits (this always stays the same) and then the last 8 digits is the customer ID number, which is in the same table. So there are 16 digits in total.
Let me give you an example:
A new customer registers and are assigned a customer ID of 1000 0001. Therefore the Card Number for that customer must be 5555 1946 1000 0001.
I have used auto number for customer ID so when a new customer signs up, there ID is 1 more that highest already in te database.
Simple question really...but how is this done?
A million marks for someone who breaks it! Hehe
Thanks
Hello!
Simple one for most, but I have having problems with a Database I am setting up
The database controls stock movement (i.e. inwards stock and outwards stock)
I have set up a Parts Inwards table with the following fields:
Part Number (linked)
Qty In
Stock Location
And I have set up a Parts Out bound with the following fields:
Part Number (linked)
Qty Out
Stock Location
Now for the problem, when I run a query to tell me how many parts I have left in the stock room i.e. Qty In - Qty Out, it duplicates the data in the Qty In.
I assume its got something to do with the fact that I have multiple Qty out’s for a single Qty In entry…hope this make sense?
Can someone help?
Hi,
I am trying to delete a part of a string but not all of it.
For example; American Express Inc. I would like to delete only the "Inc.", but leave "American Express".
How is this done?
Many Thanks,

Hello All,
I am new to this forum :) and learning Access :confused: .
The Database
Tables:
Employees
Products
ExpectedQuantity
PartQTY
Parts
Most of the products are similar so they have the same parts for the majority. However they do not all have the same parts. So I created a parts table that contains all the parts needed for any product. Now each Product also can contain multiples of one part (such as wheels) where I would want to list the Product and the parts list and quantity needed of those individual parts for that product. Hence the PartQTY table.
Now what I want to be able to do, is go into a form where each record is one of the products. A subform (datasheet view) for that product that shows all the parts and the quantity of each part that make up the product. Such as 4
wheels, 5 screws, etc for Product A.
I would like there to be an ExpectedQauntity field in the main form which once you found the product you can enter in the number of that product expected. Then this Qauntity would be multiplied by the qauntity of each part required (in the datasheet subform a column with =[expectedQTY]*[PartQTY]) and list next to each part the number needed to order. So if for product A the expected quantity is 50 I would have to order 200 wheels and 250 screws for that product.
A report would Sum each part qauntity after the expectedqauntity has been entered for each product. So I could print a report that tells me how many of each part we need to order based on the expected qauntity of all the products.
I think I am complicating things and would like a fresh mind to assist me in which direction to go.
Thank You,
Adam
How to find out the Salary. A school remains closed for Winter vacation from 15th Dec. of Current year to 28-29 Feb next year.)
The management disburse the salary to the school as per following procedure
If the Employee has not completed 6 months period (180 days) as on 15th December of current year he will not be entitled to winter salary (2 and a half months) from 16th Dec. of current year to Last day of Feb. next year. For rest of the period he will get normal salary. i.e. for 11 days of June and July, August, Sept. Oct, Nov and 15 days of Dec. of current year he will get full salary.
To elaborate it further it means that if an employee has been appointed on 19th June of the current year his winter salary with effect from 16th Dec. of current year to last day of Feb next Year will not be disbursed. For other time period he is entitled for normal salary.
OK, here's my delima (my head is spinning)
I have a standard Product table:
tblProducts
ProductID (PK)
ProductName
VendorName
Description
UnitPrice
InStock
Every Product has many Parts, but one Part may go to many Products
I will build this table:
tblProductParts
PartID (PK)
PartName
VendorName
Description
UnitPrice
InStock
How would I relate them together? I figure I need to use a Many to Many, with this table inbetween:
tblProductPartsList
ProductPartsListID (PK)
ProductID (FK to tblProducts)
PartID (FK to tblProductParts)
I feel like I'm missing something, can you let me know what you think???
THANKS!!!
Hi, can anyone help me do this...
In my products table I have fields such as Bulletpoint1, Bulletpoint2, MainDescription etc.
Each holds part of the product description
In a seperate table I have my description templates with placeholders for the bulletpoints and maindescription. for example....
<ul><li><!-- Bulletpoint1 --></li><li><!-- Bulletpoint2 --><li></ul>
Now, for each record I want to grab the template and replace the placeholders with the real text.
I've got as far as putting this in a query...
Expr1: Replace([DescTemplates]![TemplateData], "<!-- Bulletpoint1 -->", [Products]![Bulletpoint1])
That does the job nicely or the first bulletpoint but where from there? There must be a neater way than having a load of query columns each updating the last. ie.
Expr2: Replace([Expr1], "<--Bulletpoint2 -->", ...
Expr3: Replace([Expr2],...
Or is that the simplest way of doing it?
Cheers!

How would I design the table to allow me to define alternatepart numbers and also related parts? For example:
Record 1 is the primary part and record 3 is the alternatepart.
Record 2 is the primary part and record 4 is the alternatepart.
Records 5 and 6 are related parts to records 1, 2, 3 and 4.
I have a form that allows the user to select a part and displaythe part data. But I also want the alternate parts and related parts displayedon the form, maybe in a subform with tabs. I havent gotten there yet because Icant determine the table design.
i've created a database for city permits to be issued (which works perfectly thanx to alll your help), but now i need to be able to print out 1 permit at a time when it is issued (immediately after the data has been entered into the forms). i have 3 tables & 3 forms: contractors/owners, permtOrders (which has tabs for the different types of permits), and permitOrderDetails. the problem is the forms are set up for data entry (and only open in add mode for obvious reasons)...i need to be able to print an actual permit (like the carbon copy, landscape kind that usually tears out of a book). once the user enters the information into the forms, i need a little bit of that info from each form to be carried onto the actual printable permit. i'm not really sure how to accomplish this. :confused: i don't really know if i explained this right, but any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I have a long list of different parts that I have acquired and taken inventory of. I am selling kits that contain different amounts of certain parts. For example, Kit 1 contains 2 of part A, 3 of part B, and 14 or part L. I will only be selling complete kits and not the individual parts.
Here's what I'm thinking. I need a table for the individual parts that lists the quantities of each. A table for the kits and a subtable for the kits that lists the quantities of each part. A transaction table.
Then I just need a form that has a combo box with the kits listed, date of transaction and quantity shipped, and a button that runs a query to subtract from the quantities of the individual parts based on the kits table and subtable.
Can someone please help? I'd really appreciate any tips.
Thanks.

I have a sales invoice table that contains parts that start with *, for example *SPR362.
I need to select only those parts that start with the *, as this is the wildcard in queries how do i select those products that start with it without it being recognised as the wildcard and selecting all records?
The field name is simply: Part
:o
Many Thanks
I want to create a form to search my parts.example I typed in a part number 123 , the other text box also will come out the detail about the part 123.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHow to calculate all records that have not yet been linked to other records. For example: I have 1 Product, which is linked with multiple components which is subsequently linked to subcomponents. All these types can be linked to Alternate Parts.

I am running a query to some me total parts made between 2 dates. The dates are selected from a form with the query looking to this form to selected the date range.

I assume I could achieve this by a 2nd query...
I have a report that is generated daily that is a TXT file that is also the has the same file name each morning. One section out of this file is needed in a database that compiles and sends out reports to our customers. This section of the TXT file is variable in length, but is always preceded and ends with a specific text string that I can search for. It is also formatted in columns that are always the same width.
I currently have to hand enter this section into the database every morning. Not the easiest of tasks... I would like to get this automated.
We use a lot of different pipes for our work for different projects, I have inputed some basic data into a table called item description, this conotains the pipe detail (diameter/type) supplier and length its supplied in.
What I want to do is create a form which we can populate with all the defferent types of pipe in one of our jobs. I want to create a form for adding new parts to the table so its more user friendly to other users as opposed to using the table itself.Also when we are listing down the different pipes and fitting within one of our jobs there may be a few duplicated for example there may be 3 90deg bends.
Can I create a report once the form has been populated with all the different items which groups the duplicates together and totals them up? Ideally the final report will list each different part, and the quantity/length required.
I have a table with the folowing structure:
ID(integer)
Value1(Double)
Value2(Double)
I need to split this table in 4 equals parts:
- count of id must be equal or close to equal(ex: 467 split in 3 x 117 and 116) for each part
- the cumulated Value1 and Value2 must be equal or close to equal for each part
hiding parts of a form if a option button is selected. There are two option buttons and two parts to the form. I would like each part of the form greyed out or made invisible depending on which radio option button is selected.
