The correct way is the following:
Inc# 2546
^ capital I, no space between "c" and "#" but a space AFTER the "#"
Then the 4 digit long number.I was thinking along the lines of trying to identify the number, removing everything else and then placing "Inc# " before it...
currently we allow notes, which should be made like such: Inc# 2546 - Notes.however, people have their own method for this too (however most of them are at least after then incident number so that makes things much easier)another issue is on the same database, some manual requests also appear which have different entry format: RQ# GK034LW2052 but that contains a mixture of letters and numbers... so when identifying the request number... as long as I make sure that it is a number and not a string of numbers and letters, I should be ok..
I'm trying to import a text file with 273 fields into two tables. I've been able to do this with the code I found on an old thread and I'm now trying to accomplish everything with one step. The file I'm importing is tab delimited text file. With this current code I'm only able to populate the first record in the table and then I get error message. (Run-time error '3265') (Item cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the reqested name or ordinal).
Code:
Public Sub ImportTextFile() ' to use the ADODB.Recordset, be sure you have a reference set to ADO Dim rst As ADODb.Recordset Dim rst2 As ADODb.Recordset Dim strFile As String Dim strInput As String Dim varSplit As Variant Dim intCount As Integer
I have a table which lists all documents that refer to a certain entity. the table contains the file names and paths. I would like the user to be able to search for text inside these documents.Can I use Windows Search for that by using code? Is there any other way?
I have the need to display the return of my "Sum Query" to display in a text box.
I need the attached below value (40500) in the "SumofQuery" attachment, which updates every 5 minutes to display on the "StatusBoard" attachment text box.
I have been searching for a good 10 hours on how to do this and still cannot find it.
I have a simple data entry form with drop down facilities on 2 fields. One of these fields incorporates a drop down list from a table but there are occasions when I wish to make a free text entry for the single record, but do not wish to add it to the drop down list.
I have tried to achieve this with a Combo Box but without success, although I am sure that I have read that it is possible.
I have started my own MS Access Hints and Tips Club (http://msaccesshintsandtips.ning.com/profiles/blog/show?id=948619%3ABlogPost%3A301) and in an effort to attract new members I am offering a free calendar form.
I haven't seen any other Calendar form (DEMO HERE) (http://www.viddler.com/TonyHine/videos/35/fullscreen)with the advanced features that my calendar form offers, so I hope it's unique. It also benefits from the fact that it is very simple to set up and use on your own form. All you have to do is add two controls a command button to call the calendar form, and a text box to receive date.
you use a simple naming convention: Command button named: "btnDOB" Text box named similarly: "txtDOB"
The "DOB" portion can be any text you like as long as both buttons have the same text, >>> "DOB" <<< Any way Have a look at the DEMO at least! (http://www.viddler.com/TonyHine/videos/35/fullscreen)
I am trying to sort data in a free from date filed without success. For example I have 1999-present, Jul 14, 2003-Jun 2004, then 2004-ongoing... Is it possible to sort them? Thank you very much. Debbie

How can I make certain my user enters records on a subform before attempting to save the main form? Right now they can completely ignore the subform before saving the record.The Main form has business address, etc. on it. the subform is bound to a join table that lists the multiple categories, subcategories and sector the business is listed in for a directory.
I already have my fields set to required at the table level in the join table, and have some existing VBA in both my subform (to update edited date) and my form (to validate empty records where a certain condition is met) but that's not the issue...
How do I focus the user to enter a record on the subform to the point where they are forced to enter something and complete the subform before the record is updated.
I am trying to make use of the OpenForm command to open a form to a record where a textbox matches the value of a text box on another form.
On Form1, I have a textbox called txtRtnRef, and it contains a reference number in a similar format to SWR-9
On Form2, I have a textbox called txtReOrderRef (control source ReOrderRef) which also contains a reference number in the same format (SWR-9)
I am trying to have a button next to the text box on Form1 that has an OnClick Event that opens Form2 to the record containing the same text reference number.I have tried, to no avail, a number of variations of the OpenForm command, the most recent being
i have a table that includes large number of records (10,000+) we call it raw data
the process is to "clean" the data by eliminating certain records: example eliminate records of Property Name that includes "restaurant" "golf" resort" etc....
The list of words that we want to eliminate (ie restaurant, golf, resort, etc...) is included in a separate table.
How can we produce a new table or query with cleaned records?:confused: Thanks
I've built a Database which creates XML Files to import into another program. It just adds files to the program in a batch, so ever time I run the Export I want to Delete all the existing files for the holding folder. Have anyone done this before?
Hi all, I have a linked table ( see attached image ). In it are several lines with the same invoice number. 1 line with this invoice number has some info I need to retrieve by serial number ( but this line doesn't contain the S/N). My question I guess is how can I retrieve a SerialNumber along with the 2 right most columns from the image? IE: 0067320, A20900, 502060, 2120202019 23
I hope this makes sense. I was thinking of using a make table query to somehow clean this up, but not sure what to place in the query. any other thoughts? Thanks Kevin
Hi,This is my first post here... I hope I am not asking a really stupid question. :)Basically I need to cleanly export an Access 2003 database to a TAB-delimited file... The database in question has 1406 rows and several columns... some cells have nothing in them -- this is a "contacts" database.Long story short, I need to export-out as TAB-delimited (or comma)... I have done this, but when I view my results in Excel, it looks like some things are messed-up... I think there are some tabs hiding around the database that I am not aware of.Any tips on cleaning-up my database for export to CSV (tab/comma)?Also, I have one field that is a dropdown list... When I export it out as CSV/TXT I only get a number and not the actual value of the chosen drop-down... Is this normal? How do I get the actual value and not just the number?Basically, I would like to just normalize this database and get it into a perfect-looking CSV/TXT TAB/Comma delimited file. :)I would be willing to pay for this help... I do not have much cash, but I really want to make sure I get this done right the first time.Many TIA's!Cheers,M
I have an access database that was set with security about 10 years ago.
I have now created another database in 2010 and I am importing all the objects to make a clean non secured database.
When I import tables it imports system table objects like MSysRelationships, but as it already exists it adds another MSysRelationships with a 1 on the end (MSysRelationships1).
Should I delete the original MSysRelationships and then rename the MSysRelationships1 as MSysRelationships.
There are numerous others like MSysAccessstorage, MSysACEs etc...
I am gathering that if I don't rename MSysRelationships1to MSysRelationships then the relationship data would be incorrect and the database wouldn't work correctly, but maybe I am wrong.
I have a database that has been functioning very well for nearly a year. Suddenly today, as I attempt to open a report (very complex report takes about 2 minutes to render), the database closes before displaying the report. I have moved the db from the server to my desktop and the same problem happens. It does not matter if I try to execute the report from the switchboard or from the Report Object List.
DB is 344,940KB. I have larger db's that work fine.
I don't know where to look for a way to stop this from happening. Nothing was done to the form design between the last time it worked properly, and today.
I'm a bit of a newbie, so lets just get that out of the way....
I have a field in a table that was originally a text data type. I want to change it to a "lookup" data type using the lookup wizard. However, Access doesn't allow me to do this and prompts me with "You can't change the data type....its part of one or more relationships...". But there are no relationships? There may have been previously, but I've deleted them all from Relationships window.
This has happened several times now. I am in the process of designing the database and have been changing my mind about data types when I realize that I can use a lookup data type. The only fix I have found is to make a copy of the table in question and then change the data type of the problem field. Unfortunately this screws up my forms...which is a pain.
Why would Access say that there are relationships in the relationships window when in fact there are none?
I've attach a copy of my db. The field in question is located in the "Activities" table. The field name is "ACTIVITY_NAME". I am trying to use a lookup from the activityNames table using the "ActivityName" column.
I am a newbie here so i dont know all the cool names and phrases for everything so be gentle with me :).
My boss wants me to make it so the address of a company automatically pops up in the database, so if they call multiple times, the user doesnt have to keep putting the address in. If the company hasnt called before, the user would have to fill out a company form that pops up if the companys name isnt already in the database. Any info on how to do this would be EXTREMELY helpful.
I also need to know how to make access send you an email if certain information hasn't been finalized after a certain period of time.
Thanks for your help guys. Ive been stuck on these problems for A WHILE to say the least...
What I'm trying to accomplish is some sort of 'Order Confirmation' (filled with the info i have entered in my order form and sub_form fields) that i can copy and paste as a reply to their email-order.
I have taken 2 failed approaches so far:
1) I used a report to display the info
Private Sub Command103_Click() DoCmd.OpenReport "Order Confirmed", acViewReport, , "OrderID = " & Me!OrderID End Sub
This worked fine until the information was copied and pasted into outlook which upon doing so changed the column titles and layout
2) I used another form with a text box to fill with the data entered on the Order form

According to Clint Covington, Microsoft intends to release the runtime and developer extensions for free.
My opinion is that it should ALWAYS have been free instead of slapping us Access developers with an extra cost so our users don't need to pay hundreds of dollars more to use our applications. I can't think of ANY other development environment that has this drawback.
