Is There A Shortcut To Copy The Text From Cell Above?
Dec 7, 2007
Hello! I need some serious help! After 25+ years of using Paradox where I work, we are going to Microsoft Office and Access is stumping me on one thing!!! In paradox you could hit Ctrl+D and it would enter the same information as in the cell directly above. I can't find anything that shows that Access has a feature like this. I have our inventory database and I will enter maybe 25 of the same items, but they have different property numbers and locations only. How do I get it to repeat what is in the cell/row above?
I have a subform in Datasheet view. One field contains numbers. When entering data into the datasheet I wish to copy the number from the cell above and add 1. Can anybody help me with the code to do this?
The Format Painter seems not to work in Access 2010.The Format Painter button is not in Home / Text Formatting, where you might expect to find it.I create a New Group and add the Format Painter icon. I cannot then use it. It stays greyed out.I add Format Painter to the Quick Access menu. It stays greyed out.If I view a form in Layout mode, I can sometimes get the Format Painter icon to highlight - but I cannot select just a single cell whose format I wish to copy.
Where use of the Format Painter is documented..How to do a very simple thing: copy a format from one cell in a subform to another.
Is there a function in Access that will clear out the <100,894> leaving me with Joe Doe? To my understanding the Replace function only can replace certain characters. How can I delete everything in between the < > as well?
I have a table of 1216 records. The Title fields contain extra notes which I would like to remove. All of the notes have /'s around them. I would like to remove all of the text between the /'s and all of the /'s themselves.
Example: ACCOUNTS OF CHEMICAL RESEARCH /ALL EXCEPT JAPAN/ /FOR INSTITUTIONS/
Should be: ACCOUNTS OF CHEMICAL RESEARCH
I don't know how to do this, but I can do it in MS Excel or Access--whichever one is easier.
I have a memo cell in a table that I'd like users to be able to insert their name into (from the same form). Basically allowing a user to throw their name into the memo, then auto-clear the box. When they enter their name a date will automatically be added.
Obviously if it's bound it will update but then it can't be cleared, and it doesn't paste this to the bottom of my memo, it tries to place it as the first few characters of my memo.
I linked an Excel table and now, in both the table and report, the cell is limiting itself to 255 characters, even though the Excel cell has more. I checked the "data type" and it says "memo" but it keeps truncating to "text".
Where is this limit coming from and can I change the linked table so it won't truncate the text?
My friend extracted some text from a PDF file, pasting it into Excel, and needs to find certain pieces of information. Problem is, the text came out as a long string instead of being broken into cells.
So, what we need to do is find, within the text, the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th and 13th times the word "Principal" appears, and then report back the name that follows. Within the text, it would read something like
(1234 Principal John Doe)
The number in front of it will change or be in a different format, there are other parentheses in the text (varying number of times within the text), and the name changes, of course. We want to extract the name following the word "Principal"... but only the odd-numbered times they appear. Some cells will have as few as six "Principal" entries, others as many as fourteen.
I'm using Access to export the results of a query to Excel and within the same code I am opening up the spreadsheet to format it. Part of the formatting requires me to find the first empty cell in column A, and then insert the text 'Summary'.
Within Excel, the following code works:
Find empty cell:
Code: Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Select Add term 'Summary' to cell:
Code: ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Summary"
I've tried a few different things based on some code I've found on the net from similar situations, but in just about all attempts I get an object defined error. I've tried dimming the piece of code as an object, but when it comes to VBA, I'm just fumbling through.
I have a simple form (frmAddPaper): txtPaper where user enters name of new newspaper, and cboCity, where user selects the newspapers town.
Also Close and Save buttons.I also have a table, tblCity. Columns as follow: CityID, City, Paper1, Paper2, Paper3, Paper4, Paper5, Paper 6.
Some cities have values (Newspaper names) in just Paper1 field. Others in Paper 1 & Paper 2, and some in Paper1, Paper2 and Paper3.I want to add the txtPaper value, to the first empty column, in the row where cboCity matches City column.
I have 2 forms which are based on separate tables. When I open Form2 from a command button on Form1, I would like the common boxes on the Form2 (name, ID #, ets.) to automatically copy the info from the boxes on Form1 with the same names. How can I do this? TIA
I new to VBA and having a few problems with a database I'm working on.
I have a form that contains customer details. The are two sections one for the Registered Office Address and one for the Trading Office Address. I want to be able to allow the user to auto fill the Trading Office Address fields if the Trading Office is the same as the Registered Office.
I'm not sure how the event code should look. I was just going to add a button that will copy the text from the Registered Office Address fields and add them to the Trading Office Address fields. I've tried a couple of other groups but the replies just contain use this code....
TOName = ROName TOAddress = ROAddress etc... for all your fields.
I need a little bit more info on how the event code should look.
Any suggestions on the best code to use would be greatly appreciated.

how would i do this in a table . i am reluctant to use append or update queries. but will do so if its the only way.
My problem is that I want to copy the value of a text-field of form frmSnippet into another text field of form frmChange. But this is not possible, Access tells me that it can't find the form frmChange. But it's there, I checked the name.
My code looks like this:
Const cstrForm As String = "frmChange" Dim strNr As String If CurrentProject.AllForms(cstrForm).IsLoaded Then DoCmd.Close acForm, cstrForm End If DoCmd.OpenForm cstrForm, WindowMode:=acDialog
I have been unable to find a simple way to copy a text entry from a Table Field and paste it to multiple records in Datasheet view.The Toolbar 'Paste' procedure copies to the selected record only and I am unaware of how to select multiple records, as per a spreadsheet procedure.
I have an old access database (written with 2003 but running under 2010) that creates workorders and I need to change a couple of the reports to print three copies with each copy having different text in the footer. I'm converting the reports from a old DOT Metrix special form printer to a laser printer. I have already modified the reports as far as the titleing and cosmetics are concerned and they print and look great on the laser printer. I have also added a TxT box that I want to contain the information on the report.
The reports are generated in a couple of different ways off different screens in the system off buttons, but I figured if I can get one of them to work I can replicate it to the others.
I have gone through the reports forum and have found a couple of solutions but can't get them to work. This is what I have found:
On the on button to print a range of workorders (it drives a query that asks for a starting workorder number and a ending workorder number) click from the from the switchboard:
I created an unbound text box on a form that automatically pulls the current logged in user by using this:
Private Sub Txtuser_Click() Me.Txtuser = Environ("Username")
The form grabbs the logged in user with no problems, however, I ultimately want this information to also end up in my table. So the form has three boxes (to keep it simple). The user will type their first name and last name manually on the form which the record source is this "table" where their name goes to the table last name =Field 1 and first name=Field 2 respectively. I want the unbound box from the form to place the logged in user in Field 3 for the current record.
hello, Here is my problem: i need from access or vb to run a non-window application,this application (in buisness basic) is generally run with an Icon on desktop, and needs to be associated with a text file wich contains path and other parameters to be executed, i tried with shell command but it does'nt work. In the shortcut (right click on icon appli) properties there is the target information and an other info to select path start application (called 'demarrer en' in french ,see image ), but i don't know how it is called in english, and i think this info is missing in my shell command, so the question is : How to give this info in shell command ? Or is it possible to run directly shortcut (lnk file) with VB ? Sorry for my english. Thanks in advance for help. VINCENT
I'm making a shortcut to a report in my database. I'd like to place the shortcut to the report onto my desktop.
The problem is I'm running both access2000 and access97. Even tho I've told the computer to open all access programs in access97, when I go to open that shortcut to the report it opens in access2000.
How do I go about getting the report shortcut to open with access97 as well?
(I do need to keep access2000 for some rare files)
I have created a desktop shortcut to access the network DB - but it does not work. Even finding the target database on the Network Places and double clicking to invoike Access does not work. The only way I can open the DB at present is to open Access first/ then select the DB file from the File/Open menu ....
I created a shortcut icon on my computer to access an Access dB that's located on the company server. The Access db opened, but immediately froze and wasn't able to do anything (not responding). Any suggestions as to why this happened and how to fix it?
