I was wondering if there is a way to have a default value in a table field which is dependant on whether there was data enterd in said field or not. For example. I do not want any blank fields on my table instead I want "N/A" in the fields that were not used. I have tried setting the "default value" of the fields to N/A and it does work. The only problem is that all of the fields are filled with N/A automatically and in order to enter data one has to delete or "overwrite" N/A. Is there a way that N/A will be entered ONLY if the field is skipped over and left blank.
I have a couple different reference files that get updated each week. Sometimes there are missing data elements, so I'd like to structure a select query to show me those records that have blank elements but I'd like the similar records to be pulled in as well, so I can make a determination as to how to populate the blank records..
See attached example: I have a client ID reference table that gets populated with forecast owner names (individuals responsible for the customer) from a couple of different sources. Sometimes there are names attached and sometimes the field is blank.
How can I structure a query to show me just those Client ID's that have multiple entries with blank AND non-blank forecast owners? I'd also like to exclude single/multiple records where there are only blank records...
OK, I have been searching around on the fourm for over an hour now...I give up. If this is some where else, I am sorry.
I have a database of maintenance data. There are several columns that are usually filled in, some records have some columns blank. They are formated text because they hold letters and numbers (see pic).
I am using a form to query the table...no problem. The form has text boxes the user filter down the data
The problem comes are with the results of the query. Any record that has a blank column is not retuned. I am using "Like" so that the user can enter in partial codes. I know "like" won't return "null" records.... Help!
Things I have tried: 1)IIF(form field is blank, return table field, else use like command to filter) - returns nothing! 2)Like "*" & [Forms]![Fleetwide_data_Request]![MAL_CD] & "*" returns all records without blanks (i.e. missing data)
I have been running the same database on numerous systems for 5 years and the user clicks on a button and using this code;
DoCmd.OpenForm "Employee", acNormal
Simple !, this always opened this form blank, without applying filters, ready to accept a new employees details.
But now this no longer works, for no apparent reason? What happens is that it opens with the form fields filled with the first person in the Databases details instead of being blank.
The only thing that could have changed is that i converted the database to 2003?
When entering information into a blank form, I would like to be able to continue entering information to another additional blank form after my last entry. Is there a way to continue to a blank form after entering information into the previous blank form? I would just like to continue without having to close the entire form and then reopening another form.
Hi - I have what maybe a relatively easy problem to solve.
I have a list of locations each with a unique id. I also have another table with location details in it. There is a relationship setup between the two tables. However in the first table I have some locations that do not have a match in the second table. Therefore that field is left blank. When create a query to show information from the two tables, any records that have a blank location match field do not get shown in the output. Is there anyway to display records with blank fields?
I have created a switchboard for a very basic DB and the first button is "ADD A NEW ENTRY" When I click on this a form comes up but it bears the data from the first record. How can I edit it so that a blank form comes up ready to receive data?
I have a numeric field in a form which initially is set to 0. When the user clicks or tabs to this field, it is blanked out in the got focus event by setting the field to "". This works great. Now, if the user exits the field by clicking elsewhere or tabing out of it, without entering a value, I would like the 0 value to be inserted again. I have tried many things to make this work without any success. Is there someone who knows the right way to do this?
Hello, I have the following SQL query that runs perfectly. Now I need to put some blank spaces in between for the first expresion (EXPR1). At the moment, as you can see, brings me the 4 fields together.
I have tried using + ' ' + and + " " + but it won't let me as it says that the syntax is Incorrect. What should I use to get spaces? Thank you!

I have a problem which occasionally surfaces. When trying to use an edit form nothing comes up but a blank page. No fields, nothing. The database is split and when I open it. It shows as read only. The database is only used by myself and another and the other is not accessing it. I've tried closing and opening the database and also compacting and repairing but there is no difference to the particular form. the problem is cleared up the next day when the db is accessed again. All other forms are ok to use, and there are now 2 forms which this happens to. Has anyone experienced or seen something similar?
I'm creating a form, from various tables, all linked accordingly. But when I run the form report wizard, I insert all the fields I need, then when I preview the form, its blank?
I currently have a textbox on a form where on mousedown it launches a calendar and on click it allows me to select a date. It has a validation rule that controls what date can be selected.
However, if I go to a record that has a date entered in the textbox and try to delete the value then the validation rule kicks in. How do I modify it so it will allow me to enter a blank value?
Private Sub Calendar1_Click() If Calendar1.Value >= (MDate1 - 7) Then MsgBox "Cancellation must be at least seven days in advance of the first meeting.", vbOKOnly, "Cancellation Date" Else CDate1.Value = Calendar1.Value CDate1.SetFocus Calendar1.Visible = False
End If End Sub
Private Sub CDate1_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single) Calendar1.Visible = True Calendar1.SetFocus If Not IsNull(CDate1) Then Calendar1.Value = CDate1.Value Else Calendar1.Value = Date End If End Sub
Hi There Iv created a query that gets its criteria from a search form. The query returns All values until I put in the parameters at which point the query returns a blank My SQL is as follows......
WHERE (((Products.catagory) Like "*" & [Forms]![FrmRepOrdersByCatagory]![CbxOrdersByCatSearch]) And ((Orders.orderDate) Between [Forms]![FrmRepOrdersByCatagory]![TxtBegginningDate] And [Forms]![FrmRepOrdersByCatagory]![TxtEndDate]))
Any advice on the code or what else it could be would be great.
I have a table which has a column and some of them are filled and some are blank. I want to fill the blank ones with the previous values, how do I do this. Thanks for any help..
My database: *TblNames -NameId -FirstName -LastName -UnitID -AreaID -RoomID *TblUnitID (this table doesn't matter) *TblAreaID (this table doesn't matter) *TblRoomId -RoomID -RoomLabel I hope you can follow me fine up to this point. "think of this database as a hotel" I need a report that looks like: LastName FirstName Area RoomLabel name1 name1 B 1 name2 name2 B 2 [empty] [empty] B 3 name3 name3 B 4
As you see not all the rooms are occupied therefor where you see [empty] a blank space must appear or something like [empty] so it indicates that the room is empty. My problem is that when i do my query it will only show data that has all the fields requested for instance if I know the last name of a client but i don't know their first name, the query will not show this field. even tho there is a client using a room. I don't know how to explain my problem any better. any suggestions?
I am working with an access table populated from an excel spreadsheet due to its source if a person has more than one line of data the fileds are left blank.
Example:
ID Name Date diagnosis
01 Smith, David 07/01/2004 sore throat
02 Strep Throat
03 Broken arm
For Smith, David he had 3 diagnosis but the field date and name are blank as they would have been the same as ID 01. I have written a query to populate the blank fields:
IIF([name] is null, dlookup("[name]", "tblDiagnosisUnder16final","[Id]=" & [id]-1),[name]) This works great for lines with only one blank, but in the above example for ID 03 the name field stays blank as it is looking at field 02 which is blank in the table.
What I need is a loop to keep moving up the table until it finds a field that <> Null. I assum I should write a function and palce it in the if statement above where the -1 is but I am strugling with comming up with a solution.
Weht into Ms Access Open our porduction DB. Messsage
The Database need to be repaird or isn't a database file. You or another user may have unexpectedly quit MS access while a Ms DB was open. Do you want MS to attempt to repair DB. I clicked Yes.
Message
The changes you requested to the table were not successful because they would create duplicate values in the index, primary key or relationship. Change the data in the field or fields that contaion duplicate data, remove the index or redefine the index to permit duplicate entries and try again.
Now it's a Blank Db
Message Isn't an index in this table. Look in the indexes collection of the Tabledef object to determine the valid index names.
Another message
Operation invalid without a current index.
The Db is now blank when I open it and when I try and click on say the table tab. It's says no indexes. This is the production Db with over 40 tables. Can anyone help me recover it. Unfortunately we have also had problems with our backup as well so I cant use it. Thanks
I've created a form for updating / inputting data to my table. Currently it is defaulting to show the existing data from record 1 of my table. But as the most frequent requirement of the form will be to add a new record to the table, I would like it to default to show a new blank record. Is there a way of doing this? Perhaps some code that I could incorporate against the "on activate" for the form.
