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:
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?
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.
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?
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
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! :(
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
I 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. The application is for a surgery where the person doing vitals ( blood test and HPpressure testing) need to enter the redings. The norm is 96%RA80 tHE 96 never goes beyond 100. The RA will always be there and the 80 can be higher up to three digits.
What i manage to do so far is this 99\%LL999;;- the problem is that the R has to typed everytime. How can i set it to __%RA__
I have is that if we want to scan the past consults and link it to a patient. What are the requirements?
how to do a particular thing in Access 2010 (I don't even know if it is possible).
I have a table named PRODUCTS: ID_PRODUCT (primary key, autonumber long integer) ALLOWED_OPTIONS (multi value text lookup field: "Option 1";"Option 2";...;"Option 9")
So I can store, for each different product, none, one, or more options to let the customers choose from.
I have a table named ORDERS: ID_ORDER (primary key, autonumber long integer) FK_CUSTOMER (foreign key, linked to the primary key of a CUSTOMERS table; represents the customer that places the order.) FK_PRODUCT (foreign key, linked to PRODUCTS.ID_PRODUCT; represents the product that the customer has choosen) CHOOSEN_OPTION (lookup text field; the customer must choose ONE option among those allowed for the product he has ordered)
The problem is that I would like the CHOOSEN_OPTION field to show as a combobox, listing the values stored into PRODUCTS.ALLOWED_OPTIONS, so that when a customer buys a product, he can choose only among the options allowed by that particular product.How can I manage a multi value field to populate a combobox, in which every item stays on its line? If I use, as a query to populate the combobox:
select [PRODUCTS].[ALLOWED_OPTIONS] from PRODUCTS where [PRODUCTS].[ID_PRODUCT]=[FK_PRODUCT]
I obtain an empty combobox.If I refer to the last field as [ORDERS].[FK_PRODUCT], Access asks me to type a value for "[ORDERS].[FK_PRODUCT]", treating it as an unknown parameter.I think that the problem is that when the combobox expands, the record is not committed yet, so FK_PRODUCT is unknown (NULL?). But this happens even if I commit the record typing something in FK_PRODUCT and then I re-enter the record and I expand the CHOOSEN_OPTION combobox, that is still empy although FK_PRODUCT exists, now.Is there a particular syntax to refer to a field in a record not committed yet (something like "THIS." or "ME.")?
I am building a mortgage/amortization database and I need to look up the "points paid" from another table and also the "adjustment to margin" based on the points paid and the index, "MTA" or "COFI". I have no idea how or where to write this lookup. Any suggestions?
I have been editing the service call management database that comes with office XP.
I have a table called "Workorders" with fields: WorkorderID (primary key) CustomerID
And another table called "Workorders by Customer" with fields CustomerID (primary key)
I want to be able to have an input form where I input a workorderID which then opens the "Workorders by customer form" by customerID which relates to the WorkorderID in "Workorders" which is typed in the input box.
Im only a novice and its the code part that im struggling with.
I am having trouble using a form as input for a query. The form uses multi select list boxes, with then intention being that if I select multiple fields then only records which include those fields will show (not only fields that contain those and no others).
I also have successfully worked up some keyword searches that I would like to have run on the same query. So say I want to search for two values in my list box, and it also needs to include keyword X... how would I run these all together, or is it possible?The form is "EVR Search Form"..The query is "EVR Query - Trending Filters" and I've also made a copy to test on, "Copy EVR Query - Trending Filters"
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?
I want to create a different rowsource-query for a lookup field (field1) in each record in a subform. The rowsource changes dependent on the value in another field (field2) in the same record. How can this be done?
- I tried to change the rowsource-query in an eventmacro when the focus is set to field1, but this ofcourse changes the rowsource for all field1's and makes the allready selected values unvisible. - I think I have to include the value of record 'field2' in the rowsource query, but i cannot find a way to include that value in the query.
Something like:
Lookup field1 in the subform contains this rowsource - SELECT CUSTOMER.Id, CUSTOMER.AGE, CUSTOMER.NAME FROM CUSTOMERS WHERE (CUSTOMER.AGE= me![field2]); me![field2] however does not function
From a table I want a text field which has a path to a file to be copied automatically into a another field of the same table with a hyperlink text type...
my only other issue!!! i have a lookup field on a table and when i view it in datasheet, i can see the actual lookup value i need however i have tried the following options: create a form from the table added a combo box to an existing form and gone through the wizard
both options show the id number and NOT the value i need to show. what can i do to show my actual information?
ID VALUE NUM_LOOKUP -- ------ ------------- 1 ABC 1 2 DEF 3
Now, I'd like to use the lookup feature so that NUM_LOOKUP is a combo that displays the data in VALUE based on the relationship between ID in the two tables.
So, when you open the Letters table, you see the above. If you click in the NUM_LOOKUP field, you get a box that displays "123" for the first record and "789" for the second record.
I'm very close -- Here's what I have:
I tried the following: Display Control: Combo Box Row Source Type: Table/Query Row Source: SELECT [ID],[VALUE] FROM [Numbers] AS [NUM_LOOKUP]; Bound Column: 1 Column Count: 2
Problem: This selects ALL values of ID from [Numbers].
I tried adding the following to my row source: WHERE [Letters].[NUM_LOOKUP]=[Numbers].[ID]
This just gives me the "enter parameter" dialog box for [NUM_LOOKUP] and [ID].
Alright, I have a field called metrics that looks up the text in another table caled Metric Name. I want to delete the table that is being used to supply the values, but I still want a listbox with all those names. Also I want to be able to add names to that listbox. I am not sure how to do this.
It is along since i have used access for anything and I am having problmes getting it to do what i want it to do.
I have 2 tables one which hold the data needed and the other is being used to hold a list of products with prices.
In my main talbe in which the data will be entered into I have a drop down so the product can be selected, once it is selcted i want the next field filled in automaticaly with the price. The look up looks at my products table which hold the price too. I tried with setting the look up based on a query but it get errors about using the same table
I have two columns in the look up field. When I select the lookup value in the form I need value from one column to be displayed in one box and the value from the second column displayed in another box. Is there a simple way to do it? Thanks
