How do I set up a field to store irrational or recurring decimals?
Eg 1/3, 1/6?
I'm trying to store times, so they can be added up later: The idea being that 1h20m would be 1.3333333333333333333 etc.
I have a tblParts that has data in this format 200200.0100 (these are bin numbers). I have created a form with a bound field (field name on the form is BinNo) that goes back to the tblParts. I need to be able for the user to enter on the form the Bin number as it appears above. However at the moment it is dropping my decimal and is only keeping the 200200 portion of the Bin Number. If I enter the bin number correctly into the table it accepts the correct format of 200200.0100. Can someone take a look at the form and the field BinNo to tell me what I may have missed.
Keep in mind that the goal of the database is to enter the bin number into the form and run a query that creates a new table. There is also a delete table button since the data in the form will change for each blueprint document created.
I am attempting to attach a practice db for you to see what I have done but I have not had much success with this in the past. Thanks in advance for your help.
I've got a products table in which I have a field called weight. Obviously, this is to hold the weight of the item. I've it set to Number | Long Integer with desimal places set to 2. However, when I put 2.5 it makes it 2.
What could be causing this?
For some reason I cannot enter decimal values without the number rounding up or down. I've already set it to 'Number' and 'double' and have also tried 'Fixed' set to 2 decimal places. Right now the only way it works is if I set it to 'Text'. However I need to do some calculations with these values eventually.
What's strange is I have another table in the same database that is NOT rounding and is working just fine.
I have a field that sums pounds. I need to convert this to tons (rounded to the nearest 3 decimals), then multiplied by $67.50. This will calculate a fee payment.
This is what I have now:
Code:
=Round(Sum([Hazardous_Waste]/2000*67.5),3)
The total pounds is 2675.
After dividing by 2000, Access generates a number of 1.3375. It rounds 1.3375 to 1.337 which generates an incorrect final total. Not sure how to alter this to round properly.
I have a form to input data into a table1. On the form I have a combo box to read from a next table exchange rate to input into the table1. Field in Tablet for the exchange rate is set to Field size double, Format currency, and decimals 6.
I am unable to set the field size on the form to read the 6 decimals. The combo box is set to Currency decimal 6. I tried General Number and it still only shows only one decimal.
I've created a data entry form w/ 7 fields.... [f1], [f2], [f3], [f4], [f5], [f6] are bound to a table. While [f7] is unbound and has Nz function.
Now, the value of [f7] is the summation of [f1] to [f5], i want that what ever value is generated by [f7] will be stored on [f6] in both forms and table...
I have a form (frmFeeIncome) based on a table (tblFeeIncome)
On the form I have three fields which are FeesMonth, FeesYear, FeesUK (currency), FeesElsewhere (currency) and FeesTotal (currency). Each new record is entered like this
January 2015 25000 25000
What I need is for the total in the FeesUK field and FeesElsewhere field to be added up and stored in FeesTotal when FeesTotal has GotFocus
The FeesTotal has to be stored (I know it shouldn't be but it has to!)
I have tried the following in the GotFocus Event procedure but it does not work.
=[FeesUK] + [FeesElsewhere]
I have a table like this :
Fields 1 --- field 2
A --- tuesday
A --- wednesday
A --- thursday
B --- tuesday
B --- wednesday
I want to end like this :
Fields 1 --- field 2
A --- tuesday,wednesday,thursday
B --- tuesday, wednesday
I was thinking of doing a loop in vba with recordset and a filter on field1 and concatenate the days of field2 in the first reccord of each letter.But my table is big so my code needs to be fast.
how to do this ?
Hello,
Thank you for your time.
I want to set up an automated recurring monthly invoice for clients in my database.
I know this is possible but I am having trouble finding the solution and in fact having problems how to search for a solution.
On the 1st of every month I would like to have a query run that inserts a new row into my invoice table for all current clients invoicing them for that month.
Please please help. Invoicing one at a time using a form is taking far too long each month.
Thank you.

Is it possible to create a field in a table that stores only two possible data choices: a check or null value ?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI managed to count the performance of users. The only thing I need to do is to put the names of the users on the form (under different tab) so I can select them and they show their performance. The best would that they are showing up there in the form till I change the names. I use now a text field to write the name, but when I close the database and open, I need to add the name again.
If I could use somehow the names from the users stored in a table, that would be great.
I am building a database for a client who manufactures car parts. I have a table to store vehicle model. Each model has a date range of production. I have two build dates from and to. Both of these fields are setup as date fields on the table. I made both fields required with a mask for validation. In the "build date to" field if a car is still in production I need to leave the field blank. Is there any special character that will allow me to store a required field blank.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a database that is like storage unit business. It gives you a fee once you select which unit you take for rent. When the balance is paid off, and new Month comes around i want the database to create a new balance on the table, how would i be able to do this?
I know that i can do it in two ways as i was told but i dont know how and where to start. I create some of it but i dont know what to include in the appended query etc.
i was told that In Access Help, look for COMMAND LINE OPTIONS and you will find -X macro, which is a way you can run a given macro from a command line.
"Create an append query that adds a $40 charge to every open account. Put this query to run in a macro. Create a separate icon that is private to you so that only you know where it is. Edit the icon properties to launch access on that database file with the -x macroname appended. Now use Windows Task Scheduler to launch the icon at a specific time of day on the 10th of each month. Don't forget that the macro has to end with a QUIT action."
Hello,
I have a database for rental units and i have two problems that i cannot solve. I have a table with 4 different options of units with different prices. what i would like to do is for the first time customers there is 1 time fee, how would i be able to charge them only 1 time and no charge after that.
My second question would be i have a payment form also and lets say a person joined today and has to pay 40 for monthly rental and 20$(the 1 time payments) which comes to 60$, and the person pays it in full so the balance is 0$, how would i set it up that a month from now, the 0$ will turn again to 40$ so the person has to pay again?
And also would i be able to set up a late charge if they dont pay on the day that they are supposed to?
Thanks for all the help....
I have Datein and Dateout fields with many rows of dates beneath each. I used DatePart in a query to convert each date to a week number; but now need to count, and total, how many times each week number occurs under each field.
I'm sure this can be done easily, but I'm new to expressions, functions, etc, and would greatly appreciate some help!
I am looking to make an invoicing database.
I create 30 invoices a month. each client gets billed the same amount each month (for example Customer A gets billed $100 every month, Customer B gets charged $200 each month). Only two things get changed on the invoice-'Description' (for example the description would be 'services rendered for July 2014' for July invoice) and 'Invoice Date'.
Now please see the image attached, I have an append query that combines information and creates invoices for all 30 clients.
The problem is, the 'Invoice No' field in the invoice table stays empty, because I do not know how to start numbering at a specific point (for example invoice numbering should start at 14150001) and I want it to add the number (+1) automatically when this append query adds data to the invoice table.
I need to design a simple clinical database that will allow me to collect and display recurring data. Example. Every year a patient comes into clinic for follow-up. They complete a fixed data set questionnaire, their vital statistics are recorded and any new clinical results recorded. I have created all the tables/Forms but i don't know how to automatically add a new event that repeats the same data. So far i have 5 excessive years worth of follow-up data. Sadly, I have had to make massive tables by copying the identical data with either a 1,2,3,,, to signify a different year.

Many Regions, Many Towers, Many Countries and all..
Has to create a worksheet for Each Region-Tower and Paste the countries' records.
Private Sub Input_Click()
Dim Mainrset As Recordset
Dim Temp As Variant
Set Mainrset = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("Query_Form")
Mainrset.MoveLast
Mainrset.MoveFirst
[Code] .....
The above code is not correct as some Tower/Process are not associated with some countries. Usually What I do is to loop through all the records and look for the changes in the field. Is that the only way?
Basically, what's the best practice or how do we store a query's value into an array then checking what the max or min value is and how to check if let's say "4" is in the array?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to track a yearly training in Access 2010 but am not quite sure how to accomplish it. The training originally was just a one-time thing, due within two weeks of a new hire's start date so I currently have it displayed as three fields in my employee table (Due Date [Calculated], Completed [Date/Time], Paid [Yes/No]). Now, employees will be required to complete this training every year (beginning January 1st, not from employee's start date) and I don't know how to accomplish the tracking it.
I need to keep each year's completion date and whether or not the employee was paid. Currently, the "Paid" field is linked to a query that populates a list of employees that have not completed the training. If the "Paid" Yes/No box is unchecked, the employee's name will be listed in the query; once I check the Yes/No box then the employee's name is removed.
What would be the easiest way to track this training for each year? There are several other training that I am tracking but are one-time only events; these too are separate fields in my Employee table.
How to create a table that has a recurring entry, based on a start date and a nominal interval period of e.g. one calendar month?
Is it possible to have these entries applied automatically each time so that they appear, as required, when the table is opened?
For example, for the entry of regular payments due per month.
Hello,I was wondering if anybody knew if it was posslble to show an aproximated value of a field with decimal records. I would like to see only integer values on my form.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a field that holds a unit price. I can't use currency as the data type because the currency type is different for each client. I have another field that specifies the currency type for each department. Up to now I've been using a double format with a 2 decimal places. We now need to increase the decimal places to 4 but don't necessarily want to see all four places if only 2 are required - 1.5000 against 1.50. However if I make the decimals as auto, if I have 1.50 it rounds to 1.5.
Any other way to give a bit of flexibility to this?
Thanks.
