I have created a table in which there is one column of type memo. When I copy the content in this column it is allowing me to enter only 255 characters. How to increase the length of this column type memo?
I have a query with GroupBy. Is it causing me the damage? How to overcome this situation.
Hello,
If I read the documentation then memo field in a Access table can be 65.000 chars long.
I have three memo fields in a linked ODBC table which is filled by a append query from SQL-server database. The text in these field is cut off by 255 chars.
Does somebody know what the cause of this can be?
1. Is there a limitation/property where I can configure the length of Access memo field? DAO? I have read something about this but I don't understand this.
2. How can I trace that everything is send from the source? Maybe it's cut off at the source site. On this moment I don't know something about a Linked tabel.
Is there a sniffer or trace tool so that I can see what kind of data is realy send?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I am having trouble importing text records into a simple Access 2002 database. I’d be grateful for any help; it would save me hours and hours of manual cut-and-paste from Word into Access!
The records I want to import are text passages which originate in Word. Within some records you might find more than one paragraph. I want that formatting preserved. I signify the end of a record with a “#” character.
I create an Access database consisting of two fields: a) one called "Item" for the text records, with the data type set to memo so it can handle long text passages, and b) one for the primary key ID, which when prompted I let Access create automatically.
Here’s what happens when I try to import the data to my “Item” field”. First, I cut and paste all my original text from Word into Notepad. Then in Access I go File / Get External Data, and then choose Import, and choose Text as the data type. In the ensuing wizard under the Advanced tab I choose the option for delimitation by a specified character, and make “#” that character, and I speciy that I want the data to go into the "Item" field as memo data type. I then finish the wizard.
Sometimes I get error messages that not all data imports successfully, due to key violations, and when I check, nothing has been imported. Other times I just get a message saying it didn't work out. It's never worked.
Here are the records I'm trying to import from Notepad:
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
#
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
#
ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc
cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc ccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc
cccccccccccccccc
#
ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
#
(end of records)
I've tried two other forums but none of the suggestions work. There must be some way to do this other than by manual cut and paste. Any advice?
Hi,
I have a question.
I want to make a action on every 2 hours on the form.
On form time interval, I set 1000
Private Sub Form_Open()
a = "00:00:00"
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Timer()
On Error GoTo Err_mess
timelabel = CDate(a) + cdate("00:00:01")
Err_mess:
End Sub
I want to start 00:00:00, and then add 1 second on every time interval=1000.
eg.
00:00:00
00:00:01
00:00:02
00:00:03
...
...
01:00:00
How can I make it? Thanks.
Hi
Is there any way i can increase the amount of columns in a table before importing data? I am importing data from a notepad doc that needs abt 300 columns but i can only get abt 100 columns.
Thanks for any help
I have a table, tblEvents, which I use to store information about a meeting, training session or field trip, including the [StartDate]. I also have a table, tblEventDays, which I use to store the [DayNumber] 1, 2, 3... At the moment I have to enter the day numbers in the subform frmEventDays manually, but I would like to add button controls to increase/decrease the number of days for each event (i.e. add a new record where [DayNumber] is incremented by 1, and delete the last record if I have added too many day records).
I have added button controls to my EventDays subform and managed to use the macro builder to select and duplicate the last [DayNumber] record, but cannot figure out how to increase each successive [DayNumber] by 1.
1. Add a day...
Option Compare Database
Private Sub AddDay_Click()
?
End Sub
2. Remove a day...
Option Compare Database
Private Sub RemoveLastDay_Click()
?
End Sub
I have a form with multiple fields on it. We will call them SLO
They are text boxes and there are 6 of them named SLO1, SLO2.....SLO6
What I want to do, is use VB to update each as a string to a table individually. But Id like to only type the code once, and use a DO WHILE and increase the value by one. Example.
Current Code looks like this:
Private Sub UpdateButton_Click()
Set rstNewInventoryDataRecord = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Select * FROM MetricData")
Set CurrentForm = Screen.ActiveForm
Dim Counter As Integer
Counter = 1
rstNewInventoryDataRecord.AddNew
rstNewInventoryDataRecord.SLO = CurrentForm.SLOT1.Caption
rstNewInventoryDataRecord.Update
MsgBox "Update Complete"
End Sub
What I want to do is use the counter to increase by one after each loop and stop after 6. So...Do while Counter < 7
And increase the CurrentForm.SLOT1.Caption by one each time.
I've tried
rstNewInventoryDataRecord.SLO = CurrentForm.SLOT & Counter.Caption
and
rstNewInventoryDataRecord.SLO = CurrentForm."SLOT" & Counter.Caption
As well as a few other ideas all to no avail. Is this possible?
I have an 18.8MB Access application consisting of the following:
140 tables
410 Queries
67 Forms
5 Macros
26 Modules
It's not a lot of data storage, but is very computationally and mathematically intensive. As we continue to develop and expand the application, I noticed last week that we suddenly experienced a massive falloff in performance. Access is taking an incredibly long amount of time to traverse the querydefs collection, find objects, etc. It seems that the object collections themselves are not indexed, meaning that it takes a much longer amount of time to run a compiled and saved query than it does to simply build the SQL string and execute from within code. I continue to hunt for coding bottlenecks and any other efficiency problems I can find. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a "critical mass" for the object containers?
Please help if somebody knows the way to increase the character limit of field from 255 to max. possible.
Thanks

Do you guys think the database will get small in size if i have like 200 records and each one of them have a 4 kb thumbnail as OLE object?
I know that putting big images in OLE objects gets very big but a small thumbnail is ok and doesn't increase the size of the .mdb so much? (130x98 pixels)
Hi,
Can someone tell me that more remark / comment lines in VBA might be one of the reason of increasing the db size?
Because now a days I am removing the queries from my db and started to use VBA code lines behind each forms and keeping some remark / comment lines to know what a particular set of code line means and what they are doing. So I put everywhere some remarks / comments line. Now my forms are faster than before but the over all size of db become heavy.
Are comment lines one of the reason in increasing db size?
With kind regards,

I have a main form with a few imbedded sub forms.
Sometimes these is a great deal of data in one of the sub forms & non in the others.
Is there a way that the sub forms can grow depending on the amount of data there is in each particular sub form. (The sub form grows for a lot of data & shrinks for little data)
The way I have it now is that each sub form is always the same size and a scroll bar appears when these is extra data. This is OK but I need to see all data in sub forms at once if possible.
Can anyone help with ideas please?
I have created a list that has 5 column. Data is filled in list using a query. I know how to remove 2 columns, but I do not know how to increase the width of columns.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIt has been a month and I'm still 'stuck' on my Microsoft Access lessons due to a peculiar error. I have a video of the error, but it won't let me post a link until I have 10 posts. When I create an action button and then scroll at all, the button jumps in size 50% to the right and down, but this extra space can't be edited. Clicking on the 'extra space' is like clicking the background.
I have tried
1. Reinstalling Office 365
2. Reinstalling my graphics card drivers (Using a GTX 560ti SLIx2)
3. Manually entering the size for the buttons in the button properties (still increases in size)

I have a fax number field iwhich has a mask. +(000)-00-000-000 in a table of many records.
The problem is that every record has a number in the first part of country code +(001)which must have come there by mistakes, few records have complete and true fax numbers.
I need a query that can Update this Fax_Number field where the length of the string is less than 7 digits.
Some thing like UPDATE Contacts SET Contacts.Fax_Number = ""
WHERE ((Len("Fax_Number")>"6"));
How can i do this. Thanks.
I have a field, integer, that needs to be exactly 6 characters long, no more, no less. How would I set this?:p

I'm looking for some advice on what the maximum field length is in Access. Which option will provide the maximum length. I am wanting the field to capture both numbers and text.
Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.
