Modules & VBA :: Check Length Of A Field Value In The Table
Jul 29, 2015
I have a table that stores ID,PolicyNumber,NewPolNo fields.It has millions of records. The field NewPolNo is empty. I need vba code that will check the following for each record:
1. If the length of the PolicyNumber is over 14 characters long then store that PolicyNumber value in NewPolNo field.
2. If the length of the PolicyNumber is less than 14 characters long thenagain store that PolicyNumber value in NewPolNo field.
3. But if the length of the policyNumber equals to 14 digits long then check the following:
a) If the last 7 digits are 0's of that PolicyNumber. If yes then store first 7 digits in NewPolNo field.
b) If the last 7 digits are not 0's then store the whole PolicyNumber value in NewPolNo field.
We need to check these conditions for each record of the table.
I am trying create some code that checks if the contents of the status field in a table is "Authorised" where the ID = something specific for multiple records. If all records witht the specific ID are "Authorised" Then generate a new record in another table. Where to start, perhaps a Dlookup?
I am designing a project in which there is a form and on that form there is a textbox and Browse button. With browse button you can select a file from the dialog box and that file path will appear in the textbox. This part has been done as below:
Code: Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() ChooseFile End Sub Sub ChooseFile()
Dim fd As FileDialog Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
[Code] ....
Now the next Part i.e Part2 in which we have to see the references present in Column D of the "Summary" worksheet of the workbook whose path is present in textbox1 and check if they match with any of the references in field "Ref" of the Access table named tblLiterature.
If value in column D matches with Ref field of the Access table then change the status field of the Access table to the corresponding columns A,B,C named as "Withdrawn","Obsolete","Updated". that means if the column A of the corresponding Reference is Y then change the status field to "Withdrawn". If column B is Y then change the status to "Obsolete" and if column C is Y then change the status to "Updated".
Please see attached the workbook as this kind of workbook will be searched against Access table .
I have 2 fields in a query which I want to write to a table. Eg ProductName (field length 10) and Product Code (field length 5) the fields need to be filled out so the length makes the maximum text
For example product name 'test' length is 4 i have to add 0 to make the length to 10 so the field will be 000000test same thing applies to Product code. I have 700 records like this, is there a way in VBA where it adds the extra text to make it the maximum length.
I have a database that is used for tracking changes to numerous courses. Part of this database create a unique tracking number for each course problem developed. Currently I have the form do a comparison using the highest most number to compare against the current number assigned and prevent the form from saving until the number is incremented and not a duplicate, it would be a lot easier if I could just have it increment plus 1. I have seen various answers but they all seem to depend on the alpha portion of the field being a set value, in my instance it is variable in length. The only part that is fixed is the last four characters to the right which are the numeric portion I would like to increment. For example the field can equal:
QACP-M-PIQ-6059 QACP-M-PREF-6002
how to extract just the numeric portion, increment it by one and save?
i have multpile yes/no check box i want if i check on one the name of this check box is written on another one. so i neeed a code for loop of check boxes and i need a code i.e loop all check boxes if any is true then put name field in {new field}
I am storing values of pictures and the location of them in a table, this works fine!... using OpenRecordset. The problem is that when the function is called to store the information, it just keeps adding the same values of each file in the folder over and over again in a word "Duplicating" the information.
I have tried various methods using the OpenRecordset, but cannot seem to find the correct manor of applying the code.
Below is the function I have for storing the data...
Code: Public Sub GetFilesNamesFromFolder(strFolderPath As String) On Error GoTo ErrorHandler Dim objFSO As Scripting.FileSystemObject Dim objFolder As Scripting.folder Dim objFile As Scripting.File
Our quotation tool, which is built in access 2003, has a memo field, which is extracted in a .txt file, to be uploaded by another system.
When the user starts the memo field with a blank line, by hitting the enter key, the upload file writes the memo field as a new line, separating it from the line indicator and thus giving errors.
My question would be : How would I determine in VBA, whether the first line of the memo field is blank.
I am writing the following code to check if 'Active' field in table TypeTable2 is ticked or not for records. If I write the following statement to select the records from Access table where Active is not ticked then it gives "data Type mismatch in criteria expression".
Code: strsql = "SELECT distinct EnvelopeType FROM TypeTable2 where Active='Yes'
I have created code to import and excel file and create a table from that info. Now I need to confirm that the import has the correct Datatype of Number and Fieldsize of Double for one of the columns.
The DolphinBatchNo has number data type but the following sql statement doesn't capture the ight records. it doesn't check id dolphinBatchNo is blank.
Code: strsql="select * from `MasterTBL` where PolicyNumber>=" & TxtFPolNo & " and PolicyNumber<=" & TxtLPolNo & " and PolicyStatus='Live' and DolphinBatchNo is null order by PolicyNumber"
I need to add a Yes/No field to a table. I know I can do this in design view. Next I want to loop through the table and set it to Yes if certain fields are null. What I need help with is the VBA looping part and setting the boolean field to Yes if the fields being checked are null.
I have one query (lets call i Q1) and I have two tables with identical structure.
Table 1: - id - iddesc - comment
Table 2 - id - iddesc - comment
Table 1 consists of an imported xslx-file. The idea with Table 2 is to use it to edit content. Sometimes only one field is edited in Table 2 and in those cases i need to get the other values from Table 1. Q1 should (but doesnt) generate something like this:
Q1: - id [always from Table 1] - iddesc [from Table 2] - comment [from Table 1]
My question: How do i, in a query, check if data exists in a field in Table 2 and if it does, add data from that field and not from Table 1?
I would like to make a DLookup that check 2 criteria in two different columns in the same table. The reason to use a DLookup is that I would like to check if two parts already have been linked together. The user therefore selects two values in to different comboboxes (lstLinkPart and lstLinkToPart). In this case the value of the first combobox is column: ComponentPN in tblProductLinkComponent. For the second (lstLinkToPart) column ProductPN, in the same table, has to be checked.
If both values from the comboboxes match the values in both (and only) columns I don't want to continue and made a code to be executed.
I found multiple examples on the internet for using multiple criteria but something similar to what I require.
I'm certain this question has probably been asked before, but I can't seem to find it!
I have a form field called fldTitle, and want to ensure users write something that is meaningful by evaluating words within the title to a table of keywords (tblKeywords). I know how to write the IF/ENDIF and the other stuff required, but am struggling to find the right commands to do the comparision. Could someone help me out?
I'm looking for some advice on what the maximum field length is in Access. Which option will provide the maximum length. I am wanting the field to capture both numbers and text.
Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Basically, what's the best practice or how do we store a query's value into an array then checking what the max or min value is and how to check if let's say "4" is in the array?
I'm trying to write some Code with the target to take a value from a textbox (out of a form) and a pregiven value (in this case = 2) and enter them in a new record in a table. But only if there is not already a record with the exact same combination of these to values. When done, the same button should proceed you to the next form (but this code is not already implemented in the fragment below) even if no values are added because they already exist in this combination.
Code: Public Function GetID_PatientStudiesGroup&() GetID_PatientStudiesGroup = [Forms]![frm_PatientStudiesGroupTZP]![ID_PatientStudiesGroup] End Function Private Sub BPRS_T1_Button_Click() Call GetID_PatientStudiesGroup& Dim strSQL As String
[Code] ....
As you can see, I tried to use a function to refer to the value out of the form, because I didn't find out how to refer to a form in an SQL Code.
Just to give you a better overview: The table where the information should be added is named "tbl_PatientStudiesGroupTZP". The form where you find the Textbox "ID_PatientStudiesGroup" (with the value I need to transport) is named "frm_PatientStudiesGroupTZP". Every part (except the WHERE NOT EXISTS part) worked perfectly for itself, but not when thrown together.
I have kept the names as simple as I can for the example sake to which I can substitute my names in after.
I have a split form - form1, I have a check box on this form - checkbox1 - That I would like to use to make only the checked results from the table - table1 - show and if it is not checked to show all the results. How would I go about doing this? The table field is called field1.
If I read the documentation then memo field in a Access table can be 65.000 chars long. I have three memo fields in a linked ODBC table which is filled by a append query from SQL-server database. The text in these field is cut off by 255 chars. Does somebody know what the cause of this can be?
1. Is there a limitation/property where I can configure the length of Access memo field? DAO? I have read something about this but I don't understand this.
2. How can I trace that everything is send from the source? Maybe it's cut off at the source site. On this moment I don't know something about a Linked tabel. Is there a sniffer or trace tool so that I can see what kind of data is realy send?
I am using a table that stores data and one of the fields is just a text field with a maximum length of 10.
However, when I store the data in the field, if I only enter 5 letters in it, it stores the 5 letter word correctly but followed by some spaces (I assume 5 spaces but I may be wrong.
I cannot figure out why does anyone know why?
If not, then can I trim the field if I use it in a query/report?
