The big issue is wanting to create the following records in a subform every time a new record in the subform is added. I can populate the Ticket field and know how to cast fields as strings to append them (so I can get the Cylinder field). The output is used to populate a table called Cylinders. My question is:
How do I create a field of letters (or numbers) corresponding to the row in the subform without continuing from the previous letter (or number) in the Cylinders table?
Ticket
Letter
Cylinder
1589
A
1589A
1589
B
1589B
1600
C
1600C
1600
D
1600D
1600
E
1600E

I would like to run a query which takes a code which contains a mixture of number and letter and returns all the number before the first letter. I was using the left function (=Left(([Codes],2)) but sometimes there is one number sometime two. The desired results are shown below;
7pol2try36 = 7
12cet9fre55 = 12
10yea3gtr77 = 10
Is this possible?

I have a field that is giving me the number of business days between a period of time and then I want to subtract that number - the person's PTO time to see the actual days they were available...when I simply type the number in (see below) it works great but I want to set up a prompt that will ask me how many PTO Days to calculate as it will be different for each person I am quering...is this possible?

I have a form with several data fields on it. I also have a button on the form that allows the user to duplicate a record . The reason for this duplication is so that if there will be an additional client record for the same customer, but only one piece of data will need to be changed, it's easier to copy the record and then change the one field.
However, I am getting the following message:
"some of the field names you tried to paste don't match fieldnames on the form"
and then not all data in all fields gets duplicated.
I need to figure this out, but am going nuts with it. If anyone has an idea or two they'd care to toss my way, I would be happy.
Thanks one more time, in advance!!

The data that is to be entered in the field "Rank", is either RK1, RK2 or RK3
How would I make the validation in a table make the user enter the format RK(Number), with only numbers from 1-3?
Thanks!

I work in University accommodation housing 3000 students and we conduct meetings with the residents when they are to be disciplined.. for various things such as smoking in their room, poor conduct, or cause they've broken a window decided playing football in the kitchen using a window as a goal.
They can then be given a fine or community service or a warning.
I've created a database that logs a these meetings and it works fine when one person is called in, it logs the individual (Name, ID Number, Accommodation, Flat & Room No) and I can transfer the details to a new community service record or fine record and it all links to the auto generate ID number (known as the Case Number).
Though in cases where there is more than one person involved and each are given their own "discipline" I haven't got the knowledge to know how to keep it linked to the same 'Case Number'.
Can I create a case, add more than one person to the meeting record who will be present?
Then following that meeting for example Alan gets 10 hours community service, John gets a £40 fine, and Dave gets a £40 fine and 5 hours community service? Though all 3 are still linked to the same case number from the initial meeting?

I have a query that holds data based on a field. If the field [Device In] is "TimeStation-1" in TblTime for example it holds "AV" in the field [House]. Trouble is some fields are blank and when this is so I want it to pull the last two letters from the [Notes] field. I have attached the database. The query is [QryDeductionsandSleep Ins].

In a database, I have the following date fields that I use to track projects that start and stop.
START1
STOP1
START2
STOP2
START3
STOP3
Is there a way I can use a query to calculate the total days the project was worked on? For example if I enter 1/1/06 in START1, 1/10/06 in STOP1, 2/1/06 in START2 and 2/15/06 in STOP2, 3/1/06 in START3 and 3/30/06 in STOP3, I need to calculate the total days. I need it to work regardless if there are 3 start/stops, 2 or just one start/stop.
I really appreciate the help.

I own a kennel and was wondering if there is a way to put in 2 different dates and get totals of animals during that time and totals of kennel runs?
Thanks.
Sorry, my reservation table includes Kind, New (y/n), Owner's Name, Pet's Name, Date In, Date out, Price, # of Units needed, and # of dogs. I need to put in dates ie: 5-10-06 to 5-25-06 and get a total of dogs and a total of units so we don't overbook. When I made this program I have little idea of how to do it and now years later I'm trying to tweak it. Thanks again

I am using 2010 and have a bound field called Policyholder ID number in a table called Policy Information. I would like to calculate how old a person is by using the identity number which is 13 digits (South African ID) and the format is as follows - 7009215069084. Using the first 6 digits this person was born on 21 Sept 1970 and is 42 years old ( Current year of 2012 minus year of birth of 1970 = 42)
How I can include a calculated field so once I type in the identity number the age of the person reflects in a field called Current Age.

Is there a way to format a memo field to ensure that sentences begin with capital letters. There might have been something in the strConv function, but it seems my hopes are dashed?

Hi, am sure this is simple....! Can't find a solution.
I have records which have YEAR and APPARATUS as two of the fields. All I want to do is write a query which displays all the records chronologically by YEAR then within each YEAR to group them by the biggest subset according to APPARARTUS.
Therefore if there were 20 people who used Motorised equipment, 15 who used electrical and 10 who used gas, the records would be grouped in that order. Thus showing the pattern in change in use of specific apparatus over the years.
Why can't I DO THIS!!??

My database includes two separate dates related to a vehicle purchase and default payments resulting in repossession. I need to find out how many weeks passed between those dates.
Example:
03/14/12 Date of automobile purchase
06/06/13 Date of last payment before default
How many weeks in between? And then I need to average all of those figures so my company can see the usual week-term time frame that our customers are defaulting and getting repossessed.

I have a contract management database where contracts have a start date and an end date. I also have a date parameter set up whereby I can show live contracts between overlapping records.
I want to be able to count the number of days for each contract that is live between the dates of the parameters.
For example my contract might run from 1st to 30th November but I might want to report from 10th October to 10th November so the number of days I need the query to return is 10 days as my contract is not live before the 1st November. Or my query might run from 1st October to 31st December, then I would need it to show 30 days as it covers the whole of this contract.

How to extract or calculate the number of records in a sequence - e.g. in a table/query ordered by ID and date, the number of consecutive records by date for a given ID that have a value >= 50 in a given field. Is there a way of doing this purely within a query, or would I have to resort to a VBA loop through a recordset and keep a count of the consecutive records that match that criteria?

Basically, I am trying to calculate a integer number difference from two dates (TAT = Due-Date - Result_Date). The number is calculated and excludes weekends and ideally holidays (for that I have a tblHoliday but not sure how to use it). The function below seems to calculate a number but doesn't exclude weekends.
For example, if Due_Date is 9/26/2014 and Result_Date is 9/30/2014, then TAT is calculated to be 5 (should be 2).Since 9/26/2014 is a Friday only Friday and Monday are used in the calculation.
Code:
Option Compare Database
Public Function WorkingDays(StartDate As Date, EndDate As Date) As Long
Dim intCount As Long
intCount = 0
[code]...

I'm trying to calculate the number of days between two dates using the iif statement
Fields:
[LDW] "Last Day Worked"
[ReturnedDate]
DESCRIPTION: If ReturnedDate is null, then calculate the datediff "d" between LDW with Now(), if not, then calculate the datediff "d" between LDW with ReturnDate.
I tried this but it didn't work at all.
Days Absent: Iif(isnull([ReturnedDate],(DateDiff("d",[LDW],Now())),(DateDiff("d",[LDW],[ReturnedDate])))

I want to count number of mountpoints appear in the table.
As below sample table,
- Different mountpoints will appear, based on number of server using it. As you can see, the mountpoints will have repeating name based on number of server using it.
- The Count_Mountpoints will calculate number of total Mountpoints appear in the list.
MountpointsUsedbyCount_Mountpoints
/a/ins2server12
/a/ins2server22
/a/ins1server31
/b/ins2server31
/b/ins1server41
I only managed to get number of TOTAL mountpoints.... but by individual's mountpoint total count...

Basically I have a report that shows any 'Issues' that wasnt closed within the KPI Target.
I have the report working, but I simply want to do a count of how many days the observations overran the 'Target Date of Closure'.
The report also shows observations that are not closed but passed their Target Date of Closure. These observations will not have a 'Actual Closure Date', but I would like to still have a count of how many days its overrun closure.
This is a formula I tried to piece together but obviously not correct as it's not returning anything;
IIf(IsNull([Issues]![Actual Closure Date]),DateDiff("d",[Issues]![Target Date of Closure],
Date()),DateDiff("d",[Issues]![Target Date of Closure],[Issues]![Actual Closure Date]))

I am trying to count how many of the "same" and "differences", as well as calculate the percentages of the number of "same" over the total amount. To clarify, I work at a nursing home, and I need to calculate the number of people who were admitted to our facility and then to the hospital for the same diagnosis, and a different diagnosis. Then, out of the total number of people who were admitted to the hospital from our facility, I need to calculate how many of those people had the same diagnosis or a different diagnosis.
Also, I need to categorize these diagnosis by each type of diagnosis.
