I have a field in a table with the input mask LLL0000;0;_
when I use an append querry to put data in the table it still puts in data which does not follow the input mask. Is there some tick box I have not checked or somthing because this is getting really annoying.
All help really 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
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

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?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.

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,

hi Guys,
I have been looking at different post and checking Microsoft help files as well, but still can't seem to fix this problem.
I am having 2 tables. The first table is connected to a form for viewing and entering data, and in the second table i am just copying 3-4 fields from the first table.
I am trying to use the insert statement to insert records in the second table, and everytime i click on the "Add" button to add the records i get the following error "MS access can't append all the records in the append query ... blah blah blah"
However if i close the form and reopen it, and goto the record (as it is saved in the first database) and now click on the add button to add the fields to the second table/database, it works.
What am i doing wrong???
Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.
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?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI´m trying to improve my appl. but I´m stuck trying to figure out how to append multiple rows on a table using the Append query.
My problem comes since I have 4 tables with the following fields:
1) Orders
OrderID (number)
CustomerID (number)
Date (date)
etc...
2) OrderDetails
OrderDetailID (number)
OrderID (number)
ProductID (number)
QuantitySold
UnitPrice
etc...
3) TmpOrders
OrderTmpID (Autonumber)
CustomerID (number)
Date
etc...
4) TmpOrderDetails
OrderDetailTmpID (Autonumber)
OrderID (number)
ProductID
QuantitySold
etc...
The problem comes since the Tmp tables are used just to record temporarly the information before the transaction is completed.
Whe the salesman at the desk finish the sale, a command button is presseed and an append query runs to transfer the data from Tmp tables to the Definitive tables. Another query (Delete) is excuuted inmediately after the append qry. and it deletes the information recorded on Tmp tables.
I need to reset the autonumber or create a field that records the line number so I can add up to the Maximum OrderDetailID found on the definitive table, but the problem is how to create the "controlled" autonumber.
Please help.
I have a table which is connected to a form. I am able to see records in the form fields but i am not able to add anything in that table using form fields.
View 4 Replies View RelatedHello,
I have this survey application with the following tables - tblRespondent [PK RespondentID, other fields], tblAnswers [PK AnswersID, FK RespondentID, FK QuestionID, Answers {yes/no}, Notes {text}], tblQuestions [PK QuestionID, FK CategoryID, Question {text}], tblCategories [PK CategoryID, Categories {text}]. All ID fields are numbers, and all PKs are auto-numbers.
I also have a form based on a query that in turn is based on tblRespondent. That form is my main form, and I want to get the questions on it with the help of a subform, which is where my Append query comes into play.
When I enter a new respondent in my form, I put in some biographical information first, and then would like to send the newly-generated RespondentID to tblAnswers, together with QuestionsIDs from tblQuestions so that the Answers table receives a record for every question that I have.
I'm not having any luck with this, and am probably making some mistake somewhere.
It would be great if somebody could point me in the right direction.
Thank you.
I have 3 tables which I export as 3 separate text files each having different fixed length records.
Is there a way to append these three tables together? Union all does not work because they have different columns and field lengths.

I use a query daily that appends records to a table. I used it this morning but now it will not append records. It is odd because when I switch from design view to results my records are there but when I run it the records do not populate. I am not getting a pop-up message like usual either. It appears as if my access 2003 has disabled that function, which I can;t even find to turn back on. Any suggestions?? Thanks.
