I am creating a registration DB for a school. My tables are all set up and working, but what I cannot figure out how to do is to create a report such that upon opening it, a little dialogue box pops up and asks me "Term" and "Class" and then I type those things in and viola I get a class list.
View RepliesI have a number in a column that can be up to 10 characters long. where it is not the full 10 characters i want to be able to insert zeros at the front.
IE
12345678
to
0012345678
I would like to be able to do this in an append query. Is there a function that allows me to do this?
Cheers
Hi,
I hope you'll be able to help since I think it is going 2 B a tough one.
I'm looking for a code that will do the following:
I have a table (lets say customers) with a lot of names and instead of typing again and again the same name I would like to have a kind of an auto complete mechanism which will find the name from the table and use it to input it back to the table itself and if it isn't there then it will use the new name as an input, exp: in table customers I have the following names:
ACC, ABC, ABD, EFG .....
lets say I'm typing A then the ComboBox will show all the names that starts with A (e.g. ABC, ABD & ACC), if I will continue typing A=>B then only the names ABC & ABD will be shown then I can choose one of them or continue typing ABD which will cause only the name ABD to show up then I could use this as a name to input to the table or if I create a new name like ABDG then this one will be used.
I hope I didn't mess things up and explained myself correctly.
Thanks in advance

I have created a database.On opening the [Company] form opens up.After pressing the 'Add new company' button it creates a new record. when typing immediately into the 'Company Name' field, access highlights all the text whilst your typing making you delete what you have just typed.I have tried several macros and vba at various different events to try and solve including 'Gotocontrol', 'refesh'. I have even tried SelStart.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am working on a database. I created a list box (ListBox) that filters record for a form. This list box is controlled by another field (SearchBox) where I type search string.
The ListBox visibility is hidden when the form loads. It only becomes visible when the user starts to type in the SearchBox. The records gets filtered and when the user clicks on the selection, the form goes to the record and the ListBox becomes hidden again. All this works fine. My problem is for some technical reasons I want the ListBox to show only when there is character in the the SearchBox. When I try to type in the SearchBox the ListBox shows but when I try to clear the SearchBox with backspace the ListBox is still visible
I tried:
Code:
If me.SearchBox = Null Then
me.ListBox.Visible = False
Else
me.ListBox.Visible = True
I also tried
Code:
If IsNull (SearchBox) Then
Still when I type backspace the ListBox remains visible.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I put this code on the current event of the SearchBox Field.
I have a subform with continuous records. One of the fields in the recordset of the subform is a field named "Remarks". This field does not need to be visible on the continuous subform as it is rare that this field will have any entries.
I plan to apply conditional formatting on another field (IDcardNo) in the record line of the continuous subform so that when field "Remarks" contains any data it will show as a different format on the field IDcardNo.
I would like to make a small form appear when one points to the IDcardNo field with the different format, so that the data in the field "Remarks" pops up when one points to the field IDcardNo with altered format, showing that there is data in the field "Remarks".
I'm working with a DB to enter orders for picking. I have an item list that I'm linking to when entering orders, and bringing in the data from the item list such as item location etc.
It's setup right now that when I type the first couple of letters into the item field it automatically brings up the matching items and if I click enter it completes the item and brings in the other fields from the item list.
Example: If I type in 'tom' I get back 'tomato', 'tomato sauce' etc. and when I choose the right one and hit enter it fills up the rest of the required info such as item location.
What I would like it to do is have the auto complete also check for middle words.
Example: when I type 'alm' it returns 'almonds', 'almond milk', but don't return 'container almonds' or 'container roasted almonds' etc.
Expressions in Access have given me some trouble before. Mainly due to inexperience. I hardly ever work with them. What I am trying to do is make the default value of a form textbox control the minimum value of a field A in a table A. The datatype of Field A is Date.
So far I've got:
=Min([table A].[field A])
In the Default Value of the form's property sheet, but this just returns a blank value. I've had a look in the table and there is no value that is blank in field A.
I've been requested to make a bird count database.
The bird count data has been recorded on monthly papers like this:
[bird name] [week 1][week 2][week 3][week4]
The number of birds sighted for a given week is written in the [week x] columns.
What I need to do is make another column that shows whichever number is highest from columns [week 1], [week 2], [week 3], [week 4].
So for example:
Blackbird: Week1: 4, Week2: 2, Week3: 6, Week4: 2
highest: =6
I need two reports made but I don't know the programming. The first report comes from a table that has contact numbers and their scan times. Their number comes from one column and their times come from another column in a table that i have. the time comes in this format 6/11/2007 3:46:40 AM. One report I need is those who just scaned in for that certain day. The second report is one to take their times and calculate how long they were scanned in per day, and per week. Is there any such way to do this and how would I.
View 12 Replies View RelatedI have data from a survey with qualitative responses. For a single qualitative question, I moved the ID & responses into a new table and categorized the response according to a bucket/theme, where each column is a new bucket. I now have 10 columns. Each response is represented in 1 or more columns. I used an excel formula to copy the response data into the column itself.
Example:
A1 // B1// C1 // D1// E1//... L1
ID // Response // Cats // Dogs // Elephants //.... Column 10
1 // I like cats // I like cats //(null)//(null)// ... (null)//
2 // I like cats and dogs // I like cats and dogs // I like cats and dogs //(null)//..//
3 // etc.
However, now I'm realizing that Access always wants to show data for all records, or at most I can limit using a WHERE clause in my query.I want to use Access to generate this report:
1. Section 1: Show all responses from the Cats bucket where there is data
2. Section 2: Show all responses from the Dogs bucket where there is data
3. and so on
I know how to do summary values, and I know how to do filtering that apply across the whole report, but this seems like more advanced filtering, where I want to see selective details differently for each field.
Hi!
It's me again, the beginner.
I'm trying to make reports of all my queries, but when I try to make reports a there's a message saying "enter parameter value". I don't know what to make of that.
I've made command buttons for some of the queries, maybe that's the reason.
When I for example try to make a report for the query "Kunder och telefonnummer", I don't see any names nor phone numbers on the report all I'm asked to do is enter parameter value.
My database is in the other thread"Delete query"
Please help me!

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have developed an Access Database for my Co-Op work term workplace, and everything seems to be running smoothly with the exception of the report generation phase. The company I am at has a set template for all reports (Clients column always goes in a specific place on the page, and the report always contains the same categories in the same locations; things like that). The problem is that, every time I go to make a new report, I have to re-format and re-make the report. Is it possible to save a report`s format so that, when I go to make a new report, it automatically applies that format to the data being used?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am making labels to stick on containers that we're shipping out. Some shipments will have only 1 container and some will have more than 1.Can I have it repeat a label if there are more than 1 container for an order?
For example:
Shipment 1 has 3 containers. The label says "3 x DM" and it will make one label.
Can I set it somehow to print that label three times? What about adding incremental text, e.g. 1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3?
I have a table which has the fields: Agentname,SaleDate,Branch,Sales, Percentage, Comission, Corrections, rent and Total
Total = Sales-comission+Corrections+rent
This table has the name of the agent that made the sale, the branch(location) where he made it, the date, the commission of how much he gets from the sale, Corrections which is various correction that need to be made like a refund and or bonuses, Rent which he pays and the total.
what i want to do is to get access to make me a sheet( a sales invoice) where i can see the sales for a specific agent for a specific branch. agents can work at multiple branches.
so lets say agent A on branch A sold 400 on 1/8, 300 on 2/8 and 500 on 5/8 i want to get a list of all the days from 1/8 till 31/8 and the records of 1/8, 2/8 and 5/8 automatically attached to the correct dates and the rest of the dates should have a value of 0.
Hi all,
I'm trying to create a database to track all the students details, I've created the data base with all the tables, relationship etc. i tested it with dummy data too and it worked fine.
I then imported the proper data from a .csv file, using the "File-Get External Data-Import" method rather than a macro, it imports the data with a couple of errors but the data still got through, i had previously created queries and reports and they worked fine with the dummy data but will not show any of the new imported data, its like it hasn't got a link or something but if i create a linked form, it will pick up the data, meaning the relationships are working. hence my problem
Thanks

I have a question about reports in Access. Is there a way for report fields to be omitted from the report if the database value is null?
For example:
Name: Joe
Last Name: Smith
Company: (Is Null)
website: something.com
would become.....
Name: Joe
Last Name: Smith
Website: something.com
thanks!
I need to have the comparison variable (< or >) to be read from a field in the form.
Namely:
WHERE (((([PackagesCosts].[TotalCost]) & [Forms]![F_Reports]![Increased] & [C].[TotalCost])
Where [Forms]![F_Reports]![Increased] is the filed on my form.
What is wrong in the syntax (as it is not working properly)?
