Concat Two Int Columns Into One
Jul 17, 2007I got a access SQL question.
Let's say we have two int columns, I want to get the results Column1 + Column2 in string format
i.e
Column1 - Column2
5 - 2
6 - 2.5
10 - 6.5
10.5 - 8
I need to return the data as new column like:
NewColumn
"5 to 2"
"6 to 2.5"
so on
SQL + operator only works for string operation, how would I use it for numeric data type.
Thanks a bunch

Slow Concat Function
May 2, 2008Please see attached Sample,.
This may look like its fairly quick,.. but its the slow as hell,.. across the network "front end back end" especially when cross referencing againts qty's already ordered. "not included in sample"
I have only attached a basic sample of the query with some data, on my full system this acts very much like a Dlookup would do on a continuous form. "if you were foolish enough to use one there"
Check out the module for the code
My Question is: Is there an alternate "Speedy way" to produce the same results as seen in the sample.
To explain more,.. this is what i have and works fine,..."except having to wait a minute for the concat" which as you can imagine is very irritating for the user,.. when they have many lines to purchase.
When a job is created item required to be purchased are put in the Requests Table
Code:Tbl_03_RequestsID #Part NumberDescription StatusQty ReqUOMPriorityReq #Work Order1114N4082-6Leading Edge SkinStock Required1eaPriority 1WO07-421
Often the same part is Required on a different job,.
Code:Tbl_03_RequestsID #Part NumberDescription StatusQty ReqUOMPriorityReq #Work Order50114N4082-6Leading Edge SkinStock Required1eaPriority 1WO07-690
A query then creates a list to purchase
Code:ID #Part NumberDescription StatusQty ReqUOMWork Order1-50114N4082-6Leading Edge SkinStock Required2eaWO07-421 - WO07-690
The ID is then purchased against on the Order Screen
The Id goes into the purchase order table
The Id is then Split back down to its original numbers
The original numbers then look back at the Request table and update the status to Ordered
Code:Tbl_03_RequestsID #Part NumberDescription StatusQty ReqUOMPriorityReq #Work Order1114N4082-6Leading Edge SkinOrdered1eaPriority 1WO07-421
Code:Tbl_03_RequestsID #Part NumberDescription StatusQty ReqUOMPriorityReq #Work Order50114N4082-6Leading Edge SkinOrdered1eaPriority 1WO07-690
And so on,. When the unit is received it changes the status to received.
I can't do this with a temp table,.. that will take a bit of explaining so please take my experiance and word on that.
Sorry about the Table Formatting,... Is there another logical way to do this.

Forms :: Copy Value From Field In Subform To Field In Main Form During Data Entry
Jul 18, 2013How can I get the value from a field in one table (in the sub form) to copy/insert into a field in another table (in the main form) when adding a new record?The main form and sub form are linked using parent/child linking, and the sub form is in a tab.I have table A (Visit Dates) in the main form which is used to record the date of a visit to a church. Table B (Quarters and Peals) is used to record an event that took place at that church during that visit. Note that not all visits in table A require a record to be created in table B - but half or more do.
In tables A and B I have a field called "QuarterOrPealID" and these are both primary keys, though the field in table B is set to 'no duplicates' and in table A it's set to 'duplicates allowed', as table A has its own auto number/pk. They are both linked in the relationships.
So, when I add a new record to table A using the main form, I might then need to click on the tab in the sub form to create a new record in table B, which has to be linked to the same record in table A. When the "QuarterOrPealID" auto number/pk is generated in the sub form (table B), I need that value to update to the "QuarterOrPealID" field of the main form (table A), so that when I'm viewing these records the form pulls all the information nicely together.
Modules & VBA :: Filter Subform Data - Only Show Records Where Field A Is Higher Value Than Field B
Oct 24, 2013I want to filter my subform data, to only show records where field A is a higher value than field B.
Code:
Me.MySubform.Form.Filter = "A > B"
Me.MySubform.Form.FilterOn = True
This way it doesn't find field B.
Code:
Me.MySubform.Form.Filter = "A > " & MySubform.Form!B
Me.MySubform.Form.FilterOn = True
This way it seems to filter all record to the field B value of the first record.

Forms :: Can A Field Auto-fill From Previous Entry In Separate Field
Mar 21, 2013I've just returned to work after kids and started managing a large Access database related to health, back-tracking over many years.
Currently in filling a form we physically enter:
Apples 2.2
red apple 2.4
red apple cut 2.45
Oranges 5.6
Cucumbers 8.5
Is it possible to get field 2 to automatically fill with a number code due to the text typed in field 1?
FWIW, I'm confident at more basic Access e.g making follow on default value = Dlast("field""table") type stuff but the more complex stuff I haven't touched since Uni over a decade ago and you will need to be gentle while I blow away the cobwebs

Tables :: Linking Multiple Field Values To A Field Selected From Combo Box
Feb 16, 2014I'm pretty good with setting up a very simple database such as inventory, profiles, etc.. However I'm creating a database to keep track of a football (soccer) team's players and match statistics.What I have so farsample attached)
Tables:
* Players - PlayerID, Fname, Lname, position, goals, assists, etc (all details regarding a player)
* Position - Positons (Table containing positions eg: defender. Data is selected in player's form as a combo-box)
* Competition - Competition types (Cup, League, Friendly. Data is selected in Match's form as a combo-box
* Venue - similar to Competition table
* Opponent - Similar to above two tables
* Match - MatchID, Competition, Venue, etc (form corresponding to table attached)
Forms:
* Player form
* Match form
Now as shown in the sample, I choose players using the combo-box. Then whatever stats they had during the match are entered on the fields provided. How to link the player (selected using combo box) to the stat fields (goals, assist, YC, etc).
Modules & VBA :: Unable To Extract Day Number From Date Field And Write It To Day Field
Jan 10, 2014I am trying to do some simple table operations. I have a field (Date) containing dates, and an empty field called Day.
I want to extract the day number from the Date field, and write it to the Day field.
I didn't get very far until I ran into trouble when setting my recordset. I get the error "Too few parameters, expected 1". Clicking "Debug", will highlight the code line "Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(sqlString, dbOpenDynaset)".
So far, my code looks as follows:
Code:
Private Sub Command16_Click()
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim sqlString As String
Dim dataDay As Byte
'Open connection to current Access database
Set db = CurrentDb()
[Code]...
I am not very familiar with the various types of recordset settings. I just want to be able to read data from the Date field, and write data to the Day field.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSome (expert) Advice Needed Please (linking Field With String In Other Field
Oct 3, 2005Hi,
I hope someone can help me, I have a database compiled from different sources which means that information in fields that need to be linked are written differently, meaning that I can't just simply make a relationship between them.
The two tables I would like to link are,
Table 1 has the fields OCCUPATION and AMOUNT and contains over 740,000 records.
Table 2 has the fields COMPANY_NAME and TICKER and has 500 records.
I need to find a way for all COMPANY_NAME fields in table 2 to be cross-referenced with the OCCUPATION field, so if COMPANY_NAME is part of the string in the OCCUPATION field then the TICKER (of that company) can be attached to the record in table 1 (specifically to AMOUNT).
The problem is that the OCCUPATION field is not written in a standard form and can include either only the occupation, only the company name, or both in either order.
I can make a seperate query for each company by using as criteria "like "*[COMPANY_NAME]*", but then I would have to do this 500 times!!! Is there a way to automate this?
The final purpose is to link the AMOUNT to TICKER so as to find the sum of all the amount associated with a company.
I really hope you can help, I have little programming knowledge and it will save me the time of making 500 seperate queries. The final use is for my thesis studying private contributions in the american elections.
Thanks in advance (I hope),

Convert Text Field To Number Field But Keep Leading Zeros

Make Field Auto Populate Based On Value Of Field In Another Table
Mar 4, 2008I'm creating a database that keeps a track of questions and scores.
The questions in the database need to be dynamic and are changed frequently.
I have a scorecard table which keeps a record of scores and the applicable question at the time the record was saved. I need to do this because in 6 months time we may want to provide feedback. As the question may have changed we need to be able to refer back to what the question was.
I want the question field in my scorecard table to populate with the value in my question table.
I have tried a number of things including setting the question field in the scorecard table to a lookup based on the following query:
SELECT tblQ1.Q1
FROM tblQ1;
This works however only as a list or combo box. I don't want the user to have to select the question. I want it to auto populate, is this possible?
Field Update Using DSUM: Field Joins Are Not Working Correctly
Sep 11, 2007I know there are numerous threads regarding dsum() on the forum, but I wasn't able to find the exact answer to my problem.
The root of my problem is that I'm trying to update a field on a table using dsum, which references another query to update the table. Although I have all of the correct keys from the physical table joined to the query in the dsum function, the code/ms access seems to ignore the joins. As a result, all payees are having their "vol" field set instead of a select subset.
Query (GetTxnVolAmtTR"):
SELECT p.payee_id, sum(txn_volume) AS vol, t.market, t.period_id
FROM ft_payees AS p, ft_txn_summary AS t
WHERE p.payee_id=t.payee_id And p.market=t.market
GROUP BY t.payee_id, t.period_id, t.market, p.payee_id;
Update statement (references the query above):
UPDATE tmp_ft_component AS rc
SET rc.volume = Dsum("vol","GetTxnVolAmtTR","GetTxnVolAmtTR.payee_id= " & [rc.payee_id] And "GetTxnVolAmtTR.market= " & [rc.market] And "GetTxnVolAmtTR.period_id= " & [rc.period_id] & "")
WHERE rc.component_name='Total Revenue';
as you can see, I have all of the fields I want joined, but the code seems to ignore this. I've tried looking at this site: http://www.mvps.org/access/general/gen0018.htm , but haven't found my answer. Any help would be much appreciated!
