Limiting The Number Of Characters In A Text Box
Jun 13, 2007
I Have Created A Client Reference Allocation Screen Which Makes The Clients Reference From Details In A Number Of Text Boxes.
For Example:
Client Number: 0010, Forename: Andrew, Surname: Bloggs, Year: 2007,
Occupation: Driver.
Client Reference = 0010ab-dr07
I Have Copied The Text Boxes So The Information Is Automatically Displayed To Create The Client Reference, But Rather Than Shortening The Copied Text Boxes To Show Only The First Few Characters Is There A Way Of Limiting The Number Of Characters Shown In The Copied Text Boxes??

I would like to limit the number of users connected to a shared database. Each user opens a database as the default 'Admin' user. Does anyone know how to do that without user authentication? What event occurs when a user opens the database? How to supervise the ldb file that manages shared usage? I suppose it should be something with the Workspace object.
Any ideas?
Show me the door, please :-)

We need a query in which for each student is allowed to preset a limited number of lectures on a specific subject. For example each student can provide only two lectures on a subject and any more lectures on the same subject presented by him will not be counted. In the above example records 7 8 9 and 11 will not be shown in the query.

I have a field in the parent table which indicates how many child tables there should be at the most. I'm uncertain about how to enforce this. I"m using access as the database to a Vb.net app. Should I do it in access or Vb.net or both.

During a promotion we are running the customers are only allowed 3 entries into the system per day but the users are occasionally putting some customers in more than that. I could use some kind of function that limits the number of times the account number can be put in on a given date. (Or daily)
I have the following text boxes: ID, Customer first name, customer last name, account number, date, time.
Any ideas please?

I'm trying to create an Access database for my college so that our call centre can allocate students to a specific interview time/date. The problem I'm having is that each interview slot must only have a maximum of 10 students at a time.
I'm creating tables for the student details, address and for each interview slot available.
I'm using Access 2010.
How I can limit the number of records in a table to 10 so that when that interview slot is full it informs the user?

Well boys and girls, its about that time in the week where I have once again come up with a brilliant application for my little Access project, but have no idea how to make it happen.
I will start with a little background info... In the course of the parts recoveries we have different reasons for recovering parts, different people (locations) that request them, and different priorities for recoveries. For example, when a new model comes out, we will recover 100% of the parts for investigation by the factory... however, we may want to take a look at failed water pumps first. In this case, our recovery, until it is complete, will have higher priority than the 100%, otherwise we would not receive any parts.
This is because of the way our warranty system works... It assignes a three digit number to each part number of a recovery (between 1-999). The lower the number, the higher the priority.
So if I am setting up a 100% recovery, I would want to put it in the, say, 200's. This would leave room for an overlapping recovery to be inserted in the 100's where it would divert a certain number of parts away from the normal recovery stream. Then, once a user-defined date or quantity of parts has been reached, the corresponding number goes dead, and any of those part numbers are reunited with the original recovery stream.
Sticking to the example above, typically 100% recoveries would go for say... 2-3 years, where as an in-house recovery might be for 20 parts... Another difference is that the longer term recoveries are managed by the end date, where shorter term recoveries are by number of parts recieved.
What I want to do is be able to auto assign these numbers based on criteria derived from user-inputted data... (i.e. destination, start/end date, recovery type, etc.). Then, when the recovery is complete, whether based on date or quantity recieved, to delete the information associated with the 3 digit number, block its use for 45 days, and then be able to reuse the number for a new recovery.
Whew.
Thanks to anyone who can be bothered to read past the first paragraph, let alone offer any advice.

Hi,
Probably a really simple question, but is causing me problems! I need to be able to limit the amount of characters that can be entered into a field. For text fields I can just enter the relevant field size, but can not find an equivalent for a memo field. Validation rule warns you that there are to many characters, but doesn't seem to actually limit you.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I need to query a field for any records where this field has less that 10 characters. Any suggestions? The reason is depending on the type of customer the field can be 10 or 11 digits. IF there are less than 10 but not blank they need to be pulled for correction.

I have an address database where people have been allowed to type in any characters they want in place of just leaving a missing field blank. For instance the Zip code was not a required field (don't as me why because I don't know. It just wasn't) so over the years when the person entering the data didn't know what the zip code was they would put a ?, a 0, a 000 or a period or what ever else they could think of at the time.
I would like to add a filter in my query where I could eliminate any thing with less then a certain amount of characters.
I thought something like this would do the trick
Zip: IIf(Len([V_ZIP]<5),[V_ZIP],"0")
But I am getting a data type mismatch in criteria expression. Any ideas of what I am doing wrong?

Does anyone know the syntax to count the number of characters in a numeric field?
If not, how about counting the number of characters in a string?

I have a table with about 20.000 records.
From this table I would like to "search" in a column the field that holds the text with the most characters.
Is there a way to find this with a formula or expression?

I have a table with acct numbers of various lengths, ie:
246
18
36895
352119
472
I need to run a query so that all of the acct numbers are 8 characters long with zeros as placeholders in front of the actual acct numbers, ie:
00000246
00000018
00036895
00352119
00000472
I tried using the expression NewAcctNo: 00000000+[AcctNo], but that did not fix the problem.

Wise one, I have looked for this throughout the forum but could not fiend an answer. Could you help? I have found a little script to display the number of characters entered into a text box so at to warn the user if they are getting close to the maximum number of characters allowed.
See http://www.databasedev.co.uk/counting_characters.html
I cannot get it to work. The problem is that I can only enter 1 character. It counts it but then highlights the character I just typed. I then have to click next to it to input the next character. Any Ideas?
Cheers,
Rene

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.
Thanks for help in advance.

I am taking a filing index of City Council Resolutions which is currently based in Excel and transferring the index to an Access database I am building. An issue I am having is that the Resolutions being indexed have a subject description that ranges from about 100 characters to +700. The new Access database must hold the complete contents of the Excel spreadsheet.
The direction I have taken is to divide up the subject field into three text fields as needed ([Subject1], [Subject2], [Subject3]) each with up to 255 characters. In reports I will simply combine these fields into one large text box so the user will see them as one large subject description. Memo fields are not an option because in the near future the database backend will be moved to SQL and I understand that SQL does not always play well with memo fields.

Hi,
I have a DB where I want text entry of the primary key to adhere to a certain format.
I'm already using a mask of >LL000000 to force two capital letter and 6 numbers.
Is there any way I can force extra restrictions, by making for example the first 3 characters to have to be AB1, thus making every entry follow format:
AB1<number><number><number><number><number>
(FYI: Access 2003)

I have a table with a large text field in it, among other fields.
What I am trying to do, in a query, is to show only the characters that are between brackets "[" and "]" for that field. And, if there is more than one pair of brackets, show only what lies between the last pair of brackets.
What I've tried so far is use InStr() functions to find these brackets and then use a Mid() function to show the enclosed text. But, it doesn't work well and it gives me a very complex query! In fact, I don't think it is a good idea to even use these functions in my query. That would probably slow it down a lot.
Can someone show me a function that I could use to do what I'm looking for? I need function names that could help me make better searches for more informations.
Thank you!
