Input Masks (Last Names!!)
Feb 2, 2005
Hey all,
I had a question about input masks. The boss wanted all the fields to automatically capitalize names and last name. Did that, was happy for awhile. What we didnt realize is that there are names like DiGianno or McDonald that still need caps in certain spots.
The original input mask went like this: >?<CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC;;
This mask would caps the first letter and lowercase the rest.
What i need it to to is CAPS the first but leave whatever may follow up to the user..
In other words.... The first letter is always caps, the rest that follow is up to the user, upper or lower.
Is there any way to do this? Couldnt figure out a solution! :(
Any help would be appreciated

I want to force user to input state in capital letters, ie; CA, CO, WA, etc., with two text characters only. Working in design view, I used this character: > in the input mask field property area,
which I understand (perhaps mistakenly) will convert characters to uppercase. Now, I cannot enter any info in the state field.
Any help would be most appreciated.

Hi,
I have a text box on a form to enter doc id's. The doc id's can either be a single letter followed by six digits or two letters followed by six digits.
I can create masks for either of them but not so it allows either of the options to be entered, is it possible to create a mask to cover both options?
Thanks

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction..
I'm working on a database for work :eek: there are a million things giving me a headache (I've attended two 1 day courses but haven't a clue :rolleyes: )but one little thing that is annoying me is a problem I have with input masks..
In my Contacts table, I have First Name, Surname, Company, etc..
I've made the first letter of the first name and surname have a capital letter ie;
FIRST NAME
Field Size: 20
Format: *Is clear*
Input Mask: >L<CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
SURNAME
Field Size: 20
Format: *Is clear*
Input Mask: >L<CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
COMPANY
Field Size: 30
Format: *Is clear*
Input Mask: >L<CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
I have a problem in that, usually company names contain more than one word plus PLC or LIMITED at the end.. I want to be able to make each word start with a capital but as the lengths vary, I don't know where to put these in the input masks :confused: :o
Any help? I'm sure it's easy but I don't know :o

Does an input mask have to be static? The format for the numbers entered in a control in my form is digits separated by periods for WBS number entry (9.9.9.9.9). Each '9' will represent a digit. I want to allow the user to enter different depths (ie 1.1, 1.2.3, 1.2.2.1, etc.) up to 5 levels.
Is it possible to make the input mask automatically adjust as more numbers are entered?

Greetings
I was wondering how I go about this?
I have a table that holds vessls and barrels in a winery. When I enter data via a form I have a lookup to showme the location of a vessel or barrel. The vessels are static and have a two letter location ie WT or RT etc. The barrels, once filled are put in different locations in a warehouse. Each location has a code ie WW011121 etc.
I have a range of codes in the form as follows;
Private Sub Location_Enter()
If IsNothing(Me.Location) Then 'means it is probably a barrel
'and needs a warehouse location
Me.Location.InputMask = ">LL00000"
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Location_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
If IsNothing(Me.Location) Then 'tried to leave without a location
MsgBox "Location Required", vbCritical, gstrAppTitle
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
What I wish to write is some code to find a ducplicate location in the warehouse not in the static locations.
What I have written thus far is;
Private Sub Location_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If Me.Location.InputMask = ">LL00000" Then
then the air code would be to find duplicates from there.
Would it be best to compare string length (clues needed) as the static locatons on have two letter where as the barrel locations will have two letters and five numbers. Or is there a trick in dcount to look at bits of the contents of a field? ie ignore fields with on two letters and do a dcount in fields with say two letters and five numbers?
I do not have any experience writing code involvine string lengths.
Thanks in advance

I have my database done, for the most part. But I want to add a lookup to a field in my Component table so that I can associate a particular number (paragraph number in a pub) to a failure mode description. In the Failure Mode table, I have associated a paragraph with a failure mode:
Example: 6-66.2Visual
6-66.8Continuity
6-66.8Insulation
Yes, some paragraphs have more than one failure mode. The primary key for this table is an autonumber which allows me to do this with minimal headache.
When I created a lookup within the appropriate field in the Component table, it erases my format/input mask and makes it look like this:
6662 Visual
6668 Continuity
I wasn’t able to put an input mask in the General tab of the FailureMode field in the Component table – I guess because it has the paragraph AND the failure mode in the lookup and 9-99.99;;_ just won’t cover the text for the failure mode description. The input mask is present in the Failure Mode table but isn't "crossing over" to the lookup!
I REALLY need those “masks” in the paragraph callout to help me distinguish and match the failure mode! Can someone please explain how to do this?
Thanks!

I'm using a simple input mask via the wizard for a date of birth field in a table, but the table is accepting entirely invalid dates such as 32/12/2005. When I tried inputing something like this in the wizard it says invalid input, so why is it valid in the table?
Should I set validation rules?
I tried this:
>31/12/2004
and set the validation text to "Invalid data"
i.e. limiting input to less than 31/12/2004... but it still didn't work.
Can anyone help?
thanks

I have a form control with the input mask on it for a phone number. I am using an append query to append the information entered in the form to a table. I need to pull two fields from a linked table from another database. What I need to do is be able to compare the entered phone number in the form with the phone number from the table. The problem I am running into is that it won't match the phone numbers. The same mask is used in the table I am pulling from. Why can I not just put =[Table].[Phone_No] in the Criteria of the field where the number from the form is placed so that I can get the right record from the linked table?

I have a field in my table called SATS. This is then on my form as a control bound to the SATS field in my table. The application is for a surgery where the person doing vitals ( blood test and HPpressure testing) need to enter the redings. The norm is 96%RA80 tHE 96 never goes beyond 100. The RA will always be there and the 80 can be higher up to three digits.
What i manage to do so far is this 99\%LL999;;- the problem is that the R has to typed everytime. How can i set it to __%RA__
I have is that if we want to scan the past consults and link it to a patient. What are the requirements?

I have a form with several data fields on it. I also have a button on the form that allows the user to duplicate a record . The reason for this duplication is so that if there will be an additional client record for the same customer, but only one piece of data will need to be changed, it's easier to copy the record and then change the one field.
However, I am getting the following message:
"some of the field names you tried to paste don't match fieldnames on the form"
and then not all data in all fields gets duplicated.
I need to figure this out, but am going nuts with it. If anyone has an idea or two they'd care to toss my way, I would be happy.
Thanks one more time, in advance!!

Hello,
I need to create a field in an input form that is simply the concatenation of two other text fields. I have tried all sorts of things, but when I look at the data in the table that field.
I have a field called ID that I want to be created like this:
=Format([UniqueID],"00000") & "-" & [Mosque]
This works well in my output fields, but does not work the same way on the input form. It needs to be based on the currently input values from the current record. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
--Robert

I need to be able to query the service dates for the bill. So I can query 1509 for the .billYYMM and .readdate and it will give me the TO Date. How do I in the same query tell the query to subtract 1 from the BillYYMM that I just entered and give me the read date for that field in that query? So Query 1 MBRHISTDETL.BILLMOYR and in the criteria box use [Enter the Bill Month Year YYMM you want to search for] will allow me to run the query at any time for any bill month year that I enter. So another field in that query is MBRHISTDETL.READDATE. So to get the FROM date and the TO date i need the following MRBHISTDETL.BILLMOYR (whatever I enter as input) and MBRHISTDETL.READDATE that corresponds and then I need [MRBHISTDETL.BILLMOYR]-1 and MBRHISTDETL.READDATE. The first gives me the TO date and the 2nd gives me the FROM date?

Is there an easy way that controls and their references can be globally renamed, so that the DB continues to work?

I need an opinion. I'm new to access so I'm really lost I have to create a database consisting of 20 clients. Then they gave me 4 steps I had to accomplish:
Create a total of all account balances, so the total number of recievables are known.
For each account, calculate the number of days each balance has been outstanding.
Classify the account into 4 groups three late (30,60,90 days overdue) and one current (under 30 days), Total the amount of outstanding recievables for each catagory.
Sort using number of days balance is outstanding as primary sort key and outstanding balance as the second sort key.
My question is should I make a field called Days overdue and a separate one for outstanding balance. It also seems they want me to do calculations in the table. I thought that was not an excepted taboo? Are the 4 goals possible to accomplish in access? Please give me some help!

Hello all, I wonder if anyone can help me.
I have two queries which are both similar. They consist of a list of names with a ‘count’ function to see how many times that the name occurs. Some of the names in the two lists are identical and some are different.
I am looking to create a query (or smoothing) that takes the two sets of numbers, matches them by the name (NameID). If the name does not exist in one of the lists then put a 0 (see example below). Once I have this I then want to create a stacked bar graph to show the results.
Example:
Smith, Iain23 7
Bowman, Dan12 2
Rixon, Simon06
Cooper, Lee10
Jones, Andy21
I am very new to MS Access so please make any explanation descriptive.
Any help with is will be very grateful.

My database has FirstName and LastName fields.
I would like to initialize a new field called UserID with the first letter of the first name concatenated to the last name. I have found references that point to using Left([FirstName],1)&[LastName] but am unsure if this can be done in the table definition or if it must be done using a query. Either way I could use some advise on initializing this fields since I have 3500 registered users.
Thanks
