How Can I Set A Calculated Text Box So It Won't Show 0?
Aug 23, 2005
Ok, so I'm pretty new at this stuff, and while I'm sort of familiar with VB, I feel like there should be a fairly simple expression that could solve my problem. I have a calculated text box that is based on what is entered in another text box, like so:
the source number is in a field called Word Count.
my calculated box's Control Source is =([Word Count]/250).
My goal is to automatically calculate the number of pages based on the number of words per page (250). I used Format so the bank rounding problem doesn't effect the outcome, but if the Word Count field is less than 125 the number of pages is 0. which is obviously not the case.
I've tried fiddling around with the rounding, but then it starts rounding higher word counts up too soon.
thoughts, please?

I have an unbound calculated field [Txt1] that I would like to show the result as currency. The fields in the calculation are:
[CR] number, currency
[Commission1] general number, two decimal places
[Commission2] general number, two decimal places
The calculation is: CR15W * (1 - Commission1) * (1 - Commission2)
If I just set the field to currency it works fine. But I want the field to show the following:
"Some Text" & " " & Format(Calculation, "Currency")
When I tried to include the format it to currency I get type mismatch, run time error 13.
So I thought that perhaps I should try the following just to see where my error starts and I get the same error message when I use:
Dim Val1 As String
Val1 = CR15W * (1 - Commission1) * (1 - Commission2)
Txt1 = Format(Val1, "Currency")
Everything I have read says the formula is:
Format([Calculation], "Currency")
Is correct. So why won't it work for me?

I have a form where I want a textbox [txtMaxOrdLimit] to be visible only if another text box on the same form [PaNumber] contains the letter D in the string. This is the code I have on the forms On Current property but I'm missing something because textbox [txtMaxOrdLimit] doesn't show on the form at all.
If Me.PaNumber = "*D" Then
Me.txtMaxOrdLimit.Visible = True
Else
Me.txtMaxOrdLimit.Visible = False
End If

Lets say I have a form called form1 with 2 subforms named subform1 & subform2.
Can I place a text box on form1 that totals fields located on subform1 & subform2?
This is what I currently have as an expression in the text box. It is in the before update event, which may be the problem. Any ideas or solutions are much appreciated. :)
=[subform1].Form!field1+[subform2].Form!field1

Hello,
I have been struggling to see on a new form data calculated on a different form.
What I mean is that I have calculated a stock balance using a subform where the balance=[QuantityReceived]-NZ([Stock record table Subform].[Form]![SumQtyIssued])
Now, I woud need to see the balance value on an another form with the same Data source query.
I have been trying to assign the control source of the balance as follow but doesn't work: balance=Forms![Stock record sheet]!Balance where [stock record sheet] is the form where the balance is originallly created.
I guess that you can't reuse data calculated in form and should probably store these data in a table or a query. Is there any other sensible way to do this?

Hello, Bit of a newby to all this. Am trying to use a text box as a calculted field. I am doing so using an sql statment in control source The sql stat is built and tested using build query and then copied and pasted from sql view)
I keep getting #name? as an error.
I have managed using dlookup of the same saved sql to return the required value (which works) but find it to be a bit slow and clunky so wanted to give this a go instead. If somebody can have a look at the query below I would much apreciate.
=(SELECT Sum(QryInout!CostExVATGBP) AS TTlCostExVATGBP
FROM QryInout &_
WHERE (((QryInout.StockImportNoJoinToAll)=[Forms]![FrmSPurch]![ImportNoNew])) &_
GROUP BY QryInout.ProdType &_
HAVING (((QryInout.ProdType)="Freight"));)
Note that I have tried with and without the &_ and also with or with out the brackets..
Thanks

I am trying to use DCount to count the number of record that = 0 for field checklistitem_1 in table 'Data Input'.
I firstly tried =DCount("[ChecklistItem_1]","Data Input","[ChecklistItem_1] = 0") but this returned nothing.
So I tried =DCount("*","Data Input") just to see if I could get something back and still nothing.
I double check the names are correct, dropping the quotation marks different combination of brackets and nothing every time.
Please help me

I have a textbox in a report that I would like to calculate the sum of values that are less than 600.Then have a second textbox that counts the number of records that have values less than 600..This is based off of a query with calculated fields..I have been working with a formula that looks something like this
=Sum(IIf([BaleETime]="<600",0))
But all I get is a value of 0.BaleETime is the elapsed time between bales.

I am using the following and is working perfect
Private Sub NEXPPRC_AfterUpdate()
Me.[Purchase Description] = Me.NEXPPRC.Column(0)
Me.[Purchase Price] = Me.NEXPPRC.Column(1)
Me.[Purchase Units] = Me.NEXPPRC.Column(2)
[Code] .....
The above is for combo box, Now I want to use similar code to store calculated text in a field to the table "Purchases" but for the text box
Name of the text box:
Atcom
calculation Value:
AASTamt: ([aasc]*[Purchase Qty])
I tried but this is not working on the text box Atcom
Private Sub Atcom_AfterUpdate()
Me.[Atcom] = Me.([aasc]*[Purchase Qty]).Column(0)
Me.Requery
Me.Refresh
End Sub

I have a textbox on a form that displays a calculated number with regards to input from other text boxes.
I need this calculated number to update to a corresponding field within a table.
I have a button that updates the information, but the calculated field will not update.
I have an "=" expression written that does all of the calculating. When I put this in the 'control source' it calculates and displays on the form perfectly, but will not update the table. If I change the control source to the field within the table and then move the "=" statement/expression someplace else....the field is blank on the form, but I can manually input a number and it will update to the table.
Follow?

I have 4 texts fields [DEVICE INSTALL] , [INSTRUMENT STAND], [BRACKETS RACEWAY SUPPORTS], [TUBING CAPILLARY] all can be either a percentage from 1-100 or "N/A" except [DEVICE INSTALL].I would like to calculate the [percentage complete]
my calculation in the field is as follows:
([DEVICE INSTALL]+
IIf([INSTRUMENT STAND]="N/A",100,[INSTRUMENT STAND])+
IIf([TUBING CAPILLARY]="N/A",100,[TUBING CAPILLARY])+
IIf([BRACKETS RACEWAY SUPPORTS]="N/A",100,[BRACKETS RACEWAY SUPPORTS]))
/4
this seems to work to a degree. but for some reason when the [INSTRUMENT STAND] value is not "N/A" the percentage calculated is a wacky value much higher than 100. how could I possibly change my division #?

I'm creating a report to check for over- or under-stocked items. The report is working fine, gets all the records etc. except that it thinks that the OnHand field from my inventory query is text or something, at any rate not a number. I have successfully set the format of the field in the query to General Number, but that doesn't seem to have worked. Here's the SQL for the report:
Code:
SELECT DISTINCT Signs.SignCode, Signs.SignDescr, Size2.XYdim, qryOnHand.OnHand, Bins.Rack, Bins.Level, Bins.BinNum
FROM (Size2 INNER JOIN (Signs INNER JOIN (Items INNER JOIN qryOnHand ON Items.[ItemsID] = qryOnHand.[ItemsID]) ON Signs.[SignID] = Items.[SignID]) ON Size2.[SizeID] = Items.[SizeID]) INNER JOIN (Bins INNER JOIN InventoryDetail ON Bins.[BinID] = InventoryDetail.[BinID]) ON Items.[ItemsID] = InventoryDetail.[ItemsID]
WHERE (((qryOnHand.OnHand)<=[Check for signs with fewer than:]));

I have a calculated field which consists of a few other fields concatenated, i.e. [field1] = [field2] & [field3] & [field4].
I need field 1 to be unique when its concatenated, but fields2-4 don't need to be unique. Is there a way to do this?

I would like to append a text item to each value in a calculated field. consider the field name is "Division" and I want to append the word "Division" to the values put out by the field "Division"
My attempt was: Division & " " & "Division". This produced an error in the report.

(a) The On Open event of my report contains a VBA Sub that assigns a value to a variable named vShow. (Tracking the sub in VBA shows that vShow is correctly being assigned the desired value.)
(b) I then use vShow to try to control a calculation that occurs in one of the text boxes of the detail section in the report
(c) Basically, the control source of the textbox contains (in part) the statement (vShow>[fieldA]), which is embedded in a longer function.
(d) However, when I type this in at Control Source box of the Data tab of the the Property Sheet, Access always substitutes "[vShow]" for "vShow".
(e) So what I get is ([vShow]>[fieldA]), which treats vShow as the parameter of a parameter query.
ANY WAY TO OVERCOME THIS AND HAVE vShow recognized as the variable I defined at On Open? Perhaps there needs to be a variable declaration there, that I don't understand.
The basic form (vShow>[fieldA]) does not seem to be the problem, because I can enter, e.g. (500>[fieldA]) and everything works OK.

So I have a report with the following text box controls:
[Surname] & ", " & [Firstname]
=Sum([Quarter1_A]) - Named "Quarter_Total"
=Sum([Quarter1_T]) - Named "Quarter_Target"
=Val([Quarter_Total])/Val([Quarter_Target]) - Named "%Target" (Percent Format)
The report is grouped by the expression '[Surname] & ", " & [Firstname]'.I am trying to sort the records by the %Target text box. I tried entering the expression into the sort function but it still sorts by the grouped expression. I also tried sorting by the name of the text box but got the same results. How can I sort by the desired control?

Hi *,OK, still new to Access so I apologize in advance if that is a dumb question ;)I have a table "survey" where I wanna store number values (0,25,50,75,100 respectively). The user is supposed to use a form to input the data into the table. For this purpose, he/she is supposed to use a drop down box.So, is it possible that the drop down box does not show the values but instead a verbal description of these values (very important, important, average, etc.)? What I have tried was to create a table with the number values and use this table as data source for the drop down box... it shows the values but for the end user, verbal descriptions would be better...Thanks!Steve

In my website I've created a admin login with some ASP pages to edit and update stories.
I use an acces database and installed HTMLarea for WYSIWYG editing.
When I update text, all the HTML tags show als plain text in my website.
For example: I make a headline bold in my wysiwig editor and I update my text, it just shows: <B> here's a new story </B>
If I look in my database I have a field 'text' wich is a memofield and I can see the html tags have been stored into my database. <B>here's a new story</B>
It looks like it doesnt recognize the html tags as HTML, but just as plain text...
Can I use HTML-tags in an acces database and how do I get them to show up right in my website?

I have some vba that ends with a text box being displayed that says "file created"
I would like to add to that text box how long it took.
My initial thoughts are to add to the start of the code a variable that stores the current time (stTime)
and at the line before the text box is shown get the time again (endTime) and subtract one from the other to get the time taken in mins and sec

I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to get an unbound text box on a form to show the average of four other text boxes on that form. A bit of searching led me to the code below as a possible solution, but it isn't working.
Code:
Dim nbrFieldsUsed As Integer
Dim nbrTotal As Double
nbrFieldsUsed = 0
nbrTotal = 0
If Not IsNull(Me!txtEWT_STD_1) Then
nbrFieldsUsed = nbrFieldsUsed + 1
nbrTotal = nbrTotal + Me!txtEWT_STD_1
End If
[code]....
My thinking was to have this code on the 'After Update' event (or maybe On Change?) of each of the four text boxes which would then give a running average in the box that shows the average?

I have two different fields in 2 tables, ICname and WCname, and if there is an instance where they are the same I need to have a textbox on the main form show "Same Name" but if not the box should remain invisible.
I have created a query that searches through all the names and only prints out those that have the same name in each table, but I don't know where to go from here, and I'm not even sure how to do this conceptually. Is using a query the right way to go about doing this?

I created a text box on a form to show the member's first and last name. Works great! I now want to add it to show if they are a Jr. or a Sr. I thought I knew enough to make it work, but now instead of the name it just shows "-1". Here's the expression in the box...(if possible I'd like to keep it as an expression, since I'm still new to the "behind the scenes stuff" and don't know VBA)
=[GoesBy] & " " & [LName] & " " & IIf([IsJr]=True,"Jr",0) Or IIf([IsSr]=True,"Sr",0)

I just got a request to add a new text box to a form called "EstimatedDuration" and trying to a command button that when clicked, it will insert 30 minutes or #00:30:00" into the box. I'll wind having 5 or six buttons with 30 minutes, 1 hour, 1.5 hours, etc. Basically, this will be used for new projects in my database and for management to click one of the buttons to add an estimated time duration of how long the "think" the project will take to complete.
