Create Field With Fixed Format
Jul 18, 2005I need to show two decimal places on a form based on a recordset of a table that has a field - type = double, format = fixed, and decimal number = 2
I need to show 101.00 and 102.00 so if user insert a record, record would have a sequence id of 101.05.
How do I create that field by code? The table is part of a system loop that it changes everytime thats why I have to recreate the table again and again.
I can do the double, I cant do the fixed and decimal number.
Please please help.
Thanks.
NEVER MIND, I FIGURED IT OUT.
Instead of including it with the code, I tweaked how the form displays it.
Thanks.
Fixed Character Length Of Field
Sep 29, 2011I have a column in my table, and its size is set to 10 characters. In a form, i have a combobox based on that column, which contains the values "Corrective", "Preventive", and "Supplier". both Corrective and Preventive are 10 characters, and fill up the field to its max, however, Supplier is only 8 characters. When I look back in the table data, there are two spaces after Supplier. Basically, I can use the arrow keys to "see" the two blank character spaces. Why is that? Are these extra blank spaces taking up space they shouldn't?
View 3 Replies View RelatedPivotChart Decimal Place On Fixed Number Format On Averaged Field
May 18, 2006I 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)?

Inserting A Record With A Date/time Field
Feb 2, 2005Hi,
I'm trying to insert a record into an Access database from some ASP Code.
I have:
...
strSQL = "INSERT INTO tblUser (UserID, Date, Comments) VALUES " & _
(" & nID & ", #" & Now() & "#, " & "''" & strComments & "');"
conn.Execute(strSQL)
...
I'd have thought this should work but it doesn't.I just get a "Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement".
My date field, called "Date" (just in case that's a problem!) in my database has no input mask defined, it's just a basic date/time field. I've tried replacing the '#' symbols with single quotes, and doesn't work either. I haven't had any luck finding a definitive example of how to do this, even though it's trivial surely. All the similar examples I've found talk about how to update a record set with a date, or how to set the system locale, etc.
Any ideas as to what I might be doing wrong?
Inserting Current Windows User Into Field
Mar 8, 2006Hi Guys, my first post hereim making a database for work and need to figure out the followingi have two people that uses a ms access db, each entering data.i made a custom macro in the vb editor:Public Function cUsername() cUsername = Environ("USERNAME")End Functionwhat i want to do now is, everytime a new entry is added in the table, it should add that username to the "user" cell... it should only do this once, so for example, when i enter data it will show "albert" and if i was to close it, login as "steve" it should still show "albert" under the ones i added, and not steve...this needs to be in the table not a query or form...thanks for your timeAG

Queries :: INSERT QUERY Not Inserting One Field
Nov 27, 2014I have a form with many fields and one field has an OnChange event to run an insert query or log an entry in a table about the change. I get insert entry written with everything except one field.The OnChange event code is:
Code:

'If it has changed from Current to Non-Current create a Contact Log entry for this matte
If (Val([MatterShortNoFld]) Mod 2 = 1) Then
Me.OperatorFld = 16

Access Inserting A Space In Memo Field
Apr 15, 2015I like to store SQL code as a memo field in a table. I then use a form to collect selection criteria from the user, and this is used to create a 'WHERE' clause which is then appended to the stored SQL. This has always worked, but in one recent case the SQL failed. On examination I discovered that although the SQL is correctly stored in the memo field, when Access retrieves the code it inserts a space character in the middle of one of the words, thereby of course creating an invalid SQL string. It's easy to work around it, but why this happens? A bug in Access?
View 1 Replies View RelatedTables :: Inserting Foreign Keys Within A Text Field?
Aug 28, 2013I've got a table - "Products" - in my database, with a text field - "Info" - which contains info about products.
Within this field I would like to have footnotes. To do this, I think the best way to do it is by putting numbers inside the text at the location of where I want the footnote to refer to. These numbers will actually be foreign keys to a table called 'Footnotes'.
I can then program the forms and reports to show any numbers as superscripts or whatever.
(Of course, if the user will actually want to insert a number into the text field which is NOT a reference to a footnote, I will have to make a workaround e.g. by making access put a symbol in front of the number, so access will know the number is just part of the text (and I will program the form to not show the symbol in front of the number)).
Is it wrong to have foreign keys within a text field? I think if executed correctly, it should work perfectly.

Fixed Parameter Value In SQL Statement
Sep 11, 2015In Access, can I hard code a parameter value to suppress the prompt? I'm querying a query that's made up of sub queries, which all require the same parameter.
I'd like to define the parameter value in my SQL statement so there is no prompt. Can this be done directly in my Access query?
Again, the parameter isn't any part of my main query, it's part of the sub-queries that make up the master query if that makes any sense.
Importing Fixed With Text Files
Jun 7, 2005Dear All,
I need some help. I am writing a database for my new and small company. I receive internet orders from my ISP in an email. I want to find a simple way of automatically importing these emails into my "Customer Information" table.
The issue is that I have no control on the format of the email I receive from my ISP. The data is fixed width and stores the information horizontally rather than in columns. For example:
Quantity : 1
Price : GBP 199.00
Delivery : GBP 5.00
Total : GBP 204.00
I have been exploring the GetData option and using the advance settings to align fields. It seems (and I am not an expert user of Access) that the GetData function relies on the import source to be aligned in vertical columns rather than horizontally. This makes mapping the fields almost impossible.
Does anyone have a clever work-around? Either in Access or manipulating the data before it goes into the database?
Many thanks, Matthew (matthew@byatt.com)
Fixed Number Of Records In A Query
Apr 4, 2007Hey all, i just would like to know if there is a way to have a fixed number of records in a query.
Let's say, example (a), a query returns 2 records (qry1); i would like to have my query (qry2) to have 5 records, so the first two records will appear and then 3 blank records. (b) A query (qry1) returns 4 records, then this query(qry2) should return the 4 records plus a blank record
.........qry1.......qry2
a)|>record1....|>record1
...|>record2....|>record2
...|*______....|>______
....................|>______
....................|>______
....................|*______
.........qry1.......qry2
b)|>record1....|>record1
...|>record2....|>record2
...|>record3....|>record3
...|>record4....|>record4
...|*______....|>______
....................|*______
Why do i want to do this?
Because i want my report to show 5 records so when i print it i have those blank spaces to fill if necessary.
I want to have this:
______
lrecord1l
lrecord2l
l______l
l______l
l______l
Instead of:
______
lrecord1l
lrecord2l
What im doing now is creating a temporary table and add the records to it plus blank records.
What i used to do was add blank records in the same table meting the criteria of the report, so they will appear. After close the report, those records would be deleted.
I would like to know if theres another way, like a command in sql, or maybe some property on the report. What ever is most efficient and a good database practice. Thanks in advance

Nov 9, 2006Hey guys,
I searched the forums and couldnt find anything that directly related to my issue. What I am trying to do is export a fixed-width text file, but the issue is that the file has to be line feed only. By default Acces creates CR/LF and the client's import specification only allows for Line feed.
I am currently using a macro, with export specification, to create the file. Due to time constraints and other obligations, I am really trying to avoid VBA programming.
