Hello,
I have a text box in an ACCESS form that is blank. How should I format it so that zeros are visible until a digit is entered into that field? This column is for ovetime figures (e.g. 1.35 hours) that will be entered later.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions and help.
Regards,
Ligaya
I have read that the number field doesn't show the leading zeros in 2007... does 2010 have a way to do that, or does it still have to be a text field in order to see them..?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an unbound control in data input form requiring to input a 6-digit number. I have put a validation rule restricting more than 6 digits. Most users prefer to enter, say 123 and the system can enter the 3 leading zero for them.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have table that I had to add a new field to which we update with a form. I tried to add a control for the new field but the field does not show up in the list for the control source. I am trying to add a list box to the form with a blank and 5 options.
I have attached screen shots of the table design and the form. The table has the field in datasheet view and I have manually entered a few entries in it but it still will not show in the control source for the form control. The top section of the form is where we enter and select the data for the new records. The bottom section (circled in red) autofills the matching record, from separate tables, for updating with the new entries.
I have added form controls for modified fields in the past so I am confused about why this is happening.
I know this is probably a stupid question and I'm overlooking something obvious, but... I have a Long Integer field that has an input mask requirement of 7 numbers. Sometimes the number starts with a 0, but instead of showing as 0468165, it shows up as 468165. I want the 0 to show at the beginning. How can I do this? Thanks!
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have been working in Access 2007 creating a database. For the most part I've been able to figure everything out but I have a field where I'm putting a three digit code. It has an input mask, that is set as a text file, and is "000". I thought that would force all three numbers to show even if there was a zero in front.
However, the leading zeros are being removed and I can't figure out how to make them stay so that I can see them.
Is there any format that will allow a 0 to show as a - instead. It would be very useful for the situation that has arisen for me.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form based on a query in datasheet view. What i would like is to show only those records that fulfill the truepart of iif statment, and do not show the ones that fulfill the false part.
I have the following fileds in the query
month
currency 1 checkbox
currency 2 checkbox
sum
In the form, the control named month contains the following code:
control source: =IIf([checkbox1]=no;[month];0)
So this gives the appropriate months, but also shows the all other records with a 0 in the month field. I would like to get only the records shown that are correct with the truepart of the statement.
Hi all,
I have been trying to move some of my employer's database information from Excel to Access. The fields are simple stuff, first name, last name, address, etc. My only problem is the Amount Owed section in which I would have to put amounts such as 1270.70. In Access, I formatted the field as currency with 2 decimal places. Thus, it shows up as $1270.70 in the Access database.
However, when I mail merge the field to the letter, I only see 1270.7. I could not seem to make that last 0 appear. How could I make the 0 appear?
Further, as I have said, I have been moving records from Excel to Access. For mail merge purposes, would you recommend Excel or Access?
Thanks!
I have a table "MansComps" which includes two fields, the "Index" field which contains a number, e.g "5" and the "Tabletype" field which contains a letter e.g "T". i have created a query based on this table, which combines these two fields and displays the result to a third field which I call "Components".
field: Index
1, 2, 3,....
field: Tabletype
T
field: "Component" has to be like this:
T00001, T00002,...
I have managed to combine the fields in my query using the expression:
Component: [Tabletype] & " " & [Index]
but the results appear without the leading zeros, like T1, T2..I have set my Index content to be a number and as a primary key and the Tabletype as a text. I also tried to change the format of Index to "00000" which works for the Index field separately but not for the Component field.Should I do something in the format of the Component field?
I have a form that will only show the data of a table.
All the fields are string.
With a combobox I select the record to show.
What I want is that when I select a record, one of the fields, that in fact is a number but storred as string, is shown formatted like 12.123.123,00.
This textbox is not to be edited and is blocked. It will only show the data.
How can I do this?
Thanks.
select salary, pct
from tally
I want salary to be in this format: $3211.00
pct in 23.00%
How can I do that?
Thanks
Access 2003
I have a text box control bound to a text field
I need the value to look like this 00000014 (with the leading zeros) but stored without like this 14
The user may paste the entire value in or hand enter with or without the leading zeros
Regardless of the input method I need 8 characters to be seen on the form.
I tried entering 8 zeros 00000000 in the format property of the control but that only displays what I type (no leading zeros)
I've got this on the afterUpdate event. It formats correctly regardless of the input method (displays the leading values) but also stores them
Code : Me.ARReferenceID = Format(ARReferenceID, "00000000")
I have a need to enter dates so that they always appear as the first of the month. These dates are used in vlookup functions in Excel and need to be constantly recorded as eg 1 Nov 06. Currently I have to rely on notes and training to make sure users only insert the date in this way.
What I would like to do is get them to enter Nov 06 only (without a day) and have that stored as 1 nov 06. I have searched for date formatting functions and nothing addresses this. Perhaps it is something that could be achieved using VB if it is possible to do it.
Thanks for the help.
how can i control a field to show/not show at the query level?
let's say i have a query (from a table) like this
[regularPrice] [isOnSale] [onSalePrice]
where [isOnSale] is checkbox. if it's checked, [onSalePrice] will show [price]*0.9; if it's not checked, [onSalePrice] show nothing.
i've tried to put "[isOnSale]=Yes" in the Criteria, the query will filter out only those records that's on sale, which i don't want...
please help :confused:
I have created a design master of my database, i want to share it on more than one PC but add data from both whilst keep developing it.
I have noticed that after replication that the ID fields now use really long random numbers and am wondering whether anyone has been able to control the 'randomness' of the autonumber?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI need the auto number to be in specified format as ASI-23-0001. So I added the format "ASI-23-"0000 in the formats and I got it succesfully.The fueld name is "Part Number"
I have added the Part Number field to a form as combo and I was able to list the values in the drop down combo.
I wanted to use Dlookup command in the program to auto fill the next field in the form say "Description".
I am using the following code
Me.Text30 = DLookup("[Description]", "item_master", "[Part Number] = Form![Combo36]")
But now the data in the combo is treated as text because of the prefix "ASI-23" and I get data type mismatch error.
I would like to expand on this questions. I would like to generate a number based on a reference I use, a format like "14/000" where I use "14" with the last 2 digits of the year. However i want the auto number to generate the the last 2 digit automatically when the year changes i.e. when 2015 comes the field generates "15/000" without any prompt from the user.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a button which runs some VB, it brings up various message boxes as it prints a report to file, runs a query etc etc. I am hoping to display a basic form, which simply covers most of the screen and states "Please Wait" or something. I have already built the please wait form (frm_please_wait) and have set it to pop up. I have added it to my VB to open before I run the queries/output to file however the messages still appear on top..
How can I force the form to display on top of everything else in access ( it is only visibly for a few seconds, depending on the spec of the pc).
I have a database (split into front and backend). Users populate the table using a form on the front end. Recently, it has been pointed out that some of the data entered into one specific textbox is being changed on the table. The data entered is always has a minimum of a letter and number value i.e. "A1", "A2" etc. Upon examining the table, this has changed into numeric values i.e. "1291", "1061", "852"... etc. Looks like it is translating them into both 3 and 4 digit numerical values by the looks of things. Where more complex data is entered such as "2(A1, A2)" these seem unaffected.
The field is set to text, I have set no validation rule, format or input mask. Just can't see why access is changing these values. It seems to be translating them, but I can't see a pattern.
I have a form with various controls that reflect dollar amounts.
One of those controls, despite deleting and replacing it, despite deleting the field whose value it displays, despite changing it to 'general number', saving, then changing back, despite comparing its properties with that of numerous normal-behaving controls, refuses to show a dollar sign, nor zero cents values. I've compressed and repaired in between deleting fields and controls, too, to no avail.
Otherwise it is working correctly in that calculations based on it work fine and it shows the number of dollars it's supposed to. Just no dollar sign and refuses to show zero cents...
Can anyone suggest to me what's up with this thing?
I'm trying to use the Access 2010 web browser control to dynamically show a PDF.
The base file path is a constant (R:MS_ACCESS_PROJECTSSAFETYIMAGESMSDS SHEETS)
and the dynamic part is two fields from the selected record:
me.txtMsdsID & "." & me.txtVersion
what is the simplest way to "bind" this so that when a record changes it automatically refreshes this control? I've tried setting it with VBA, but it's not working consistently.
I know the issues isn't the file path, as it works fine if I paste it in windows explorer.
Is it possible to have the header of a list box show the value of another control?
