How To Type In Number Value On Screen Field Without Having To Place Cursor At Beginning
Dec 5, 2013
I'm having trouble with a field on my DB. I have a field named zip code. It has a limit of 5 characters that are only number values, I'm not having any trouble with entering information at all, it's easiest when I just tab into the cell from the previous one. However, the part I am having trouble with is when I click within the field and the cursor, let's say, is at the second character line, and I enter the zipcode 15222, it'll only enter 1522 since my cursor is at the second line.
How can I fix this so that wherever my cursor is, within the box it'll type the full 5 digit zip code? My boss is insistent on making sure that even if he clicks towards the right of the box, it should type the full number.

I have done a half-dozen searches and only gotten 1 option.
There is a simple way to have the cursor at the beginning or end of a field when it arrives in a new field.
I saw the VBA code aboyt setting the length. There is an easier, simpler way to set it so that you don't have to apply the vba code to every single indiviual field.
I remember learning about it here on this forum, but now can't find it.
Can anyone remember how to do this?
Thanks in advance,

I have several comboxes where I'm using date/time input masks. When I go to enter data in the field the cursor is situated at the right end of the box. I have to backspace to the beginning of the field to enter the data. How do I position the cursor to the beginning (left side) of the field?

I have created a button that takes the contents of a memo field and adds a new line of text at the top with the date, time and initials of staff member. So far, so good...
However I want it to end with the cursor ready at the end of the first line (to type the note) The following code does everything but ends by putting the cursor right at the end of all of the text in the memo field (instead of the end of the first line):
Code:
Private Sub Command59_Click()
Me.Note = Format(Now, "d mmm yyyy hh:nn") & " - " & "(" & DLookup("[login]", "logintable") & ") " & Chr(13) & Chr(10) & Me.Note
Me.Note.SetFocus
Me.Note.SelStart = Len(Me.Note)
Me.Note.SelLength = 0
End Sub

I have a access table with 32 columns and 42,000 rows of numbers. I need to find the MIN number in the row and if the MIN number has duplicates then I need them all placed into another column by column name.
Example:
Starting file
DEST,ORIGIN1,ORIGIN2,ORIGIN3,ORIGIN4, ETC
05512,3,2,4,2
ENDING table needed
DEST,ORIGIN1,ORIGIN2,ORIGIN3,ORIGIN4, NEWCOLUMNname
05512,3,2,4,2,2 ORIGIN2 ORIGIN4
Where the new column name contains the MIN number in the row and all of the associated duplicates column names.

I have a stockist which includes " stock number", " description"
When I use these parts to create a "bill of materials" for a job I am presently selecting the material and this data is going into the table and the stock number just goes in the form not the table, is there a way that when I select the "stock number" the material will still go in the table and the stock number stays on the form. or also go into the table
The reason I want to do this is because the stock number is easier to remember than the description ...

I have a pivotchart which I cause to take a huge list of people's test percentiles and calculate the average for each year. I then display the average above each bar. The problem is that there are too many numbers after the decimal place for each figure. I went into the properties and changed the number format to "fixed" but it doesn't give me the option to change the number of decimal places that are used (it does every where else in MS Office!). It seems that it just uses the regional settings for the computer. But the problem I have in changing that is that I have other pivotcharts in the same report that does something similar but needs a different number of decimal places. Is there any way around this without having to create another query to calculate the average and then having the pivotchart display the info from the new query (this is a huge database that I put together with many charts and I don't want to have to redo the way that it works just because of this decimal place issue)?

I have created a table that contains banking info. I have a field for Transaction #; the Transaction # is always 4 digits. Sometimes that number begins with a 0. When I enter the 0 at the beginning, Access will not show it. I've tried setting the Input Mask (tried #### and 0000) but that still didn't work. The field type needs to be number so that my report will sort properly. How do I get the 0 at the beginning to show?
Thanks for any help you can provide!

I have an order table [OrderMain], which contains [OrderNumber] "Auto Number" along with various customer related only info
Then i have a order line table [OrderLines] which contains the items ordered. Which looks like
OrderNumber
OrderLine
PartNumber
These tables are in a form, relationship of [OrderNumber]
This structure enables me to order as many parts as i'd like against 1 order number.
What i would like to do is set something similar to a auto number in the OrderLines table. This would be in the Lines Field.
The problem is, AutoNumber can't be used in the [Lines] field as each new order line # would continue from the last #.
The result would look like:

I have an existing form where users type in information and it generates a couple of reports. In one of the fields, Customer PO Number, the user enters a number from a customer. Up until yesterday all of the customers we have been dealing with have used numbers only for their PO numbers. However, we have a new customer that requires alphanumeric PO's. Is there a simple way to change this field from a number to alphanumeric without having to redo each form, report and/or query. I am using MS Access 2010.

I'm creating a database for a music store which also does music lessons. In the header I wish to display the number of lessons that are taking place each day, the number will be dynamic as the number of lessons vary from day to day. I obviously have a table with all the lessons that have already taken place, as well as lessons that are taking place in the future.
I've attached the header (isn't the final version) as an example.

I have a text field called Notes - where we will add notes about the particular job. What I want to do is have it a locked field with a button 'Add Notes'. When clicked it will insert the date and the user name of the person and then let them type the notes. When they move to the next record - I want that field to be locked again.
I've got some of it down but still not right. I can get it so it inserts the date but it overwrites what is already there. How can I get it to just add the data - not overwrite? And I can't get it to lock when they move to the next record.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jason

Here is my problem
In namefield_AfterUpdate, I check for duplicate name entries and notify the user if any are found - they are prompted as to whether the duplicate was accidental or intentional and continue working. This works fine for normal circumstances.
However, if the user updates namefield so that the value is a duplicate of an existing name in the database, but then presses Cancel (or Delete), then the namefield_AfterUpdate is fired and what button they pressed. The button Click code does not run first.
How can I tell if the user updated the name, but then realized they didn't want to save, and then clicked 'Cancel' (or any button) and the code should really skip the duplicate check validations/messages?

I created an update query to a text field in a table. However, it inserts the data at the end of the string and I need to insert it at the beginning of the string that already exists. How do I move it to the front instead of the end?
This works but puts it at the end:
[Field Name] & "BlahBlah"

I only want the user to be able to enter 9 numbers into the field including 0 in the beginning if needed.
I have this code in at the moment "Is Null OR Between 100000000 And 999999999", however if the number starts with a 0, it doesn't include it.
Else I'll just use an Input Mask

I have 4 drop down lists calling values from a query.
This part works as expected.
However, I would like the focus to automatically change to the next drop down field after ANY (valid) entry is made.
IE
Drop Down 1: "any value" ----> focus automatically set to Drop Down 2, etc
The code I have only relates to 1 of the drop down values, I want it to rerlate to any of the values.
*************
Private Sub Question1_AfterUpdate()
If Me.Question1 = "Yes" Then
Me.Question2.SetFocus
End If
End Sub
*************
My values are simple, just "yes" "no" "I don't know", etc.
OR
If this cannot be done with drop downs, how about with field lists?
:cool:
