I have a table that has several fields including CallID (autonumber) and SKU (text)
SKU can be anything up to 9 characters, sometimes numeric sometimes alphanumeric. For example: 24300, AA23145, G58d444, 24999, 89332,...
Based on the Count of CallID I can easily get the top20 calls on each SKU. This is the query I use for that:
Code:
SELECT TOP 20 Count(Calls.CallID) AS CountOfCallID, Calls.SKU
FROM Calls
GROUP BY Calls.SKU
HAVING ((Not (Calls.SKU) Is Null))
ORDER BY Count(Calls.CallID) DESC;
The problem is that now I have been asked to create two different lists. One that has the top 20 SKU that range from 24520 and 24599 and another one that does the res tof the SKUs.
Obviously my problem is that the SKU field is text, not numbers so I can't just limit the results in the query by using "Between 24520 and 24500" in the query criteria.
How to increase field size in a certain table from 10 to 50 from Database (programaticaly).

I'd like to know if this is possible and if so, how to do it.
I have a couple of text fields, let's say text1 and text2. I would like the following functionality:
if text1 = "somevalue"
then allow entry into text2
else disable entry into text2
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
how can i limit an unbounded textbox so only digits from 0-9 will be entered
View 4 Replies View RelatedHow can i limit the user to enter the text in a textbox on a form?
suppose i want the user to enter only upto 20 chars in a textfield.
I have a db with around 400 records. It contains user's basic information such as first name, last name, supervisor...
Problem is that one supervisor can be multiple users supervisors so they are showing up a lot each time I use the search tool. Is there a way to disable searches on the supervisor field?
Hi guys,
I have a text box, which requires a 8-digit number entry. I have wrote the code to check that the length is 8 and if it isn't a label will turn visible next to the field telling the user entry must be 8 digits.
This works for when i enter a number less than 8-digits but when i input a number with more digits as it does not fit into the text box it turns it to a scientific format value and when the code runs it shows the length is actually 8! And therefore the entry is valid!
I.e. when i input 123456789 the text box shows 1.23E+08 which is 8 charecters!
I dont want any error messages to pop up as i handle them by code and use labels to show the error message next to the problem field and i would like to keep this consistent. Is there any way i can do this by a function or a property in the table or form?
I appreciate any help/advice
cheers
I am trying to increase a text box field size from 64 characters to 100. I know text fields can hold 255 characters, but whenever I make the change and try to save it, a warning pops up."Not enough diskspace or memory"

I have two fields 1 & 2
field 1 is a simple combo list of user defined values ie A, B, C or D
Field 2 relates to a attribute of the data in field 1 and is not always the same for A, B, C and D. i.e
A could have a,b,c,d or e
B could have c,e,f,g or h
C could have a,g,h,i or j
D could have v,w,x,y or z
I would field 2 to have a combo box which only displays a,b,c,d, or e when A is chosen in field 1; c,e,f,g or h when B is chosen; etc
How do I do this?
Cheers all,
Matt :confused:
I am creating a training database and first I have tables in relationship to the courses:
tbl_Courses
Course ID (Primary Key)
Course Title
Objectives
Instructors (lookup field allowing multiple instructors to be selected, meaning they are skilled to teach the course)
tbl_Instructors
Instructor ID (Primary Key
Last Name
First Name
Full Name (Caluclated to put Last Name, First Name)
[code]....
What I am trying to do on a form to create a new event is once the user selects the Course from the Course ID combo box, then I need the Instructor combo box to only display the instructors who are skilled to teach the course which are selected in the tbl_Courses.
I can get all Instructor ID's, but not the names and the class that has multiple instructors show on one line.Should I have not put the Instructors field in the tbl_Courses? Do I need another table for instructor skills or something?
In one table I want to limit the options of one field depending on what is chosen in another field.
Field Type has two options: Receivable and Payable.
I want field Sybtype with this limits:
If Receivable is chosen in Type field you will only have CreditCard & Lockbox available in the Subtype field. If Payable is chosen you will only have Cheque & Transfer to choose.
Shall I have two separate tables? or only one table with Type and SubType as below? but then how can I make the above work?
Type SubType
Receivable CreditCard
Receivable Lockbox
Payable Cheque
Payable Transfer
Hi,
I have a fairly simple database that looks like the attached. It is the beginnings of a school database. Unfortunately, the MS template doesn't quite do it.
We have around 700 pupils in 5 year groups. Each year's intake is assigned the year of that intake (e.g. 2002, 2003 etc).
The youngest pupils are in Year 7 whilst the oldest are in year 11.
Each Class is assigned based on the intake year but given the name of the schooling year - (e.g. year 7, year 8 etc). And there are 6 classes per year - hence names 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 etc.
My "Students and Classes" table should combine both the classes and pupils. However, I want to be able to firstly select the class to put the pupil into (and hence infer the induction year), then just show in the next filed only
the pupils that belong to that induction year and hence go into the selected class.
However I design my lookup or query, I can't seem to figure out how to do this, or if this can even be done.
Any help is much appreciated.

Hi:
I have a table with one field for comments. The problem is the limit of the capacity of words, that you can type.
Any sugestions ????
Thanks for your time
Can someone please tell me the Maximum no of fields you can have in Access 2007 and if the limit is 255 then how can one get around this problem?
Thank you,.
I have a table that I need to identify the records in that have specific text in one of the fields, the field also contains other data. i.e. the field (accessdescription) can contain any combination of the following text (Bridge, Report, Email). and I want to list only the records that have email in this field, noting that the field usually contains at least two of the possible entries.
Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

to show only those dates between a certain time interval as in:
between jan 1 2007 to jan 1st 2008?
Is there a certain type of format I need to type into the criteria field of the query?
Thanks in advance!
is there any way to increase the size of the text field beyond the 255 character limit? I'm creating an incident report and its diffilcult to summarize an accident in less than 255 characters.

What I'm trying to build is a Form where they can select data in different fields to limit (filter) the list. In my query criteria I want to read the form, if there's a value use THAT in the criteria (for that field) otherwise ignore it.
I've tried isnulls etc. If I put a value (like City) it properly returns all the records with that city, however if I put nothing the "ISNULL" returns a value that the criteria doesn't match i.e. I get nothing.
There must be a way to tell a query to NOT use any criteria if an object (form!field) is blank...?
In my table, I have a field for "notes" and have it set to long text. It works just fine and has all the text visible. When I create a report or a form from this table, it truncates the text in that field. It limits to the 254 characters of old. I am not sure how to fix this. I have tried setting the WillGrow to yes and it still does not work.

Quote:
Country | Text
Centr | Boolean
Centr limit | Integer
Apply | Boolean
The number of records that have the same country, AND Centr=TRUE, AND Apply=TRUE, should not exceed the Centr limit value.
I would like to know how to limit a field on a form to only Alpha Numeric characters.
Example: ~AAUZNTO
This would be scanned by a bar code and I want the field to show only this when scanned: AAUZNTO
Field B is a combo with the options of : 100% Availability, 75% Availability, 50% Availability, 25% Availability, OR Not Available
If I choose "Present" in Field A, I want the "Not Available" value to disappear as an option.
Any way I can set a table up with an intrinsic limit, specifically that only ONE record at a time (this will vary) can possibly have value X selected from a lookup field containing assigned values X, Y and Z. Is this possible? If so, how do I do this?
