Thankyou so much in advance for any help

I am having trouble formatting a mailing label zipcode using the xxxxx-xxxx format.
I am using the =Trim([City]&","&[State]&" "&Format([ZipCode],"@@@@@-@@@@")) for Access 2002
My program is Access 1997-is there a different formula and why isn't the above working?
The zipcodes that have an extension come out right but the ones that don't have an extension come out like 6-8894
Any help would be appreciated!
I'm a bit new to access and not sure how I should go about doing this. I have a list of businesses located in new york, with their name, address, zipcode, and other demographics. I need to filter out all the rows of businesses that are located in new york city. To do this I got a database file with a list of all zip codes (5 digit format) that are considered new york city. So what I'd like to do is run a query based on the new york city zip codes and get a list of the businesses that are only located in nyc.
Another thing is that in the business database some zip codes are 5 digits others are in 9 digit format (xxxxx-xxxx), so I want it only to look at the first 5 digits as it filters out the zip codes im looking for.
I hope this isn't out of place.. thanks in advance.

All, I am using Access 2003 I have a table with zipcodes and the data type is text. Some of the zipcodes were entered incorrectly. In a query, I need to use "Trim" because there are leading and trailing spaces surrounding the zipcodes also I need to get those problem zipcodes where they don't equal the length of 5 like:99999 or format the 9 digit zipcode format like: 99999.9999.
I tried:
not like "*****.****" and not like Len([Zipcode])>5
I keep getting "" around the 5 and it doesn't list all the problem zipcodes. How can I get just the problem zipcodes?
Thanks
In the zip code field of my form, if the first number of the zip code is a zero, such as 02436, the zero is deleted as soon as I leave that field. The zero won't stay and I want it to so I will have a valid 5 digit zip code. In other words, as soon as I leave the field the zipcode is changed to read 2436 - without the zero. How do I fix that? Thanks.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm stuck on something that should be simple, but maybe it isn't:
Problem 1:
To speed data entry in a contact table, I want an entry in the Zipcode (postal code) field to automatically populate the City and State fields from the data in a Zipcode table (Zipcode-PK, City, ST (2 letter code)). The Zipcode table has only one city /st for each zipcode, so it can be the primary key (always a five digit number, sometimes with leading zero(s)).
Sometimes there are several names for a City associated with a particular Zipcode, so I want the City field to be able to be overwritten with a different city name if the data entry person needs to do that. Alternatively, I could establish a separate primary key for the zipcode table, and allow several choices for the rare zipcode that has more than one city name in use.
If I did that I wouldn't have to store the city and st in the contact table (which is better database design, I realize), but I really do want to be able to store the city and state in the contact table because there will be times when the right zipcode isn't known, and the city and state are known, and forcing the input of a possibly incorrect zipcode would be undesirable.
Problem 2: I've got a table with 4,000 records where I have the zipcode, but the city and state information were lost, and I want to be able to re-populate those fields by writing, I guess, an update query that taps the info in the zipcode table.
Problem 3: When entering addresses, sometimes there won't be info about a certain zipcode, and I need some automatically generated dialog that allows adding city and state info for a new zipcode that won't slow down the entry of contact records.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Send an email if you prefer.

I've got a large Excel spreadsheet with contact information that I want to import into Access. Everything seems to import fine except for the two zipcode columns (a 5-digit zip and a 4-digit zip, both have leading zeroes in many entries). The problem is that in Excel the data are formatted with a special input mask that allows for the leading zeros to show. When I import them into Access, this formatting is not recognized and the zeros are lost. I've tried a few things, such as saving the Excel file as text and Dbase 4 and then trying to import them. In these cases the leading zeros are present during import, but are again dropped as soon as the import completes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a form based on a table with several fields. The table contains names of employees and their departments, etc.
When I fill in the form with the employees name, how can I have it autofill the dept?
I am not a programmer so if specific code is required, I would need to know exactly what it is.
Your assistance is appreciated.
Two questions,
1. After my relationship table is built, is it possible to have some tables automatics fill in according to what another field in the table is inputed? EX: I have a Ordertable(orderID,itemID,Itemdesc), and a Inventory table(ItemID,Itemdesc), When you select an Itemid to put in the order form, the order Description from Inventory would appear in the Itemdesc of the order form.
Is this possible? If so how?
2. In tables, is it possible to make a cell = to something? So like if I wanted to add a subtotal and a final total after tax, I could use = * .08 or something?
Can I fill all cells in a column that dont contain any data with the same value?
I have a table with about 1000 records, I have a column called "brand", half of the records contain some data but the other half dont and I really the ones that dont to contain the text "none".
Any Ideas?

I want to build a form and have a combo box autofill these fields on the form. how can i do this?
Thanks,
Tim
I am trying to self teach myself and I am sure I am going about his wrong.
I have a form with a fillable text box called ProcessCode, a drop down box called CostContainerSize, and a fillable text box called disposal cost. Their are dozens of possible process codes and container sizes of 55,30,15,5,P,Y etc... I want the disposal cost box to auto fill based on Process code and disposal cost. I wrote the following in the control source IIf([ProcessCode]="LF" and [CostContainerSize]="55","$65.00") THis works to auto fill, but obviously only for that particular set of parameters. I have tried adding "or " comments to include other sizes for that particular process code with limited success. I have tried IIf([ProcessCode]="LF" and [CostContainerSize]="55"or"30","$65.00"or"$50.00") among other variations.
Any help is appreciated.
Ok, basically I have enough Microsoft Access knowledge to be dangerous.
I'm in the military and built a database that keeps track of the members who misuse their government travel card.
What I'm trying to do is enter a SSN into my form and have it fill in their name, rank, unit, etc if they are already in the data base.
I'm pretty sure it is possible, but not sure how to do it. Any help would be much appreciated!
I created a form from a table (maintbl) with a combo box. The combo box retreives information from another table (model#tbl)and autofills it in the fields below. the information that is autofilled does not automatically get entered into maintbl. Theres probably a good reason for this but i cant figure it out. Anyone?? Im not very good with code but if thats what it takes thats what it takes.

Hi everyone,
I have a table which includes several columns. Two of these columns are important for this update query I wish to do. In my table, I have two columns like this:
API# Current Operator
---------------------------------
1 |
1 |
2 | Bob
3 | Joe
1 | Mike
3 |
2 |
I am wondering if there is a way to run an update query which would automatically fill in the blank fields in column 2. The numbers in column 1 will always correspond to the same person in column 2.
Thanks,
Chris

I've searched the forums and Google. I've possibly come close to finding a solution, but can't quite get it right.
I have a checkbox that I want, when it's checked, to put the current date in a Date Completed field.
I know I have to edit the OnClick event, but the code has puzzled me.
Thanks for your help.
Ok here goes
I need some help with getting my form(form 2) to autofill from another form(form 1).
Now i dont want to use combo boxes or command buttons as i only want to use the keyboard and not the mouse.
Basically when a customer phones up to get prices they tell me there account code( this is in the customer details table) and i enter it into a text box on form 1 and after pressing enter it opens up form 2(this bit i can do) but i cant get it to open the form and display the correct details from the table on the form.
p.s why is it access books tell you everything except what you want to know.
thanks.
I have 2 forms with 1 combo box in each form. I would like to be able to choose, for ex. a date in 1st combo box and be able to have that displayed in the 2nd form in the 2nd combo box.
