I have 2 databases with the same structure, but different data.
I want to put all the data in 1 database.
The problem is that the most important table (clients)has an autonumeric id field, that is used to link the records to the fields of many other tables; so, I cannot delete or change that field without losing connections.
I need some kind of function (I been told) that generates 3 different alphanumeric autonumbers in the same field when adding a new record, starting such field from A-1, B-1 and C-1 to infinite.Because the record gets inserted in the table with an append query and not manually through a form, I believe the function should be placed in the Default Value setting of the field.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHow does one cause certain data to appear in another field based upon the data entered in another field.
For example: I enter in the field the word "Carrot" in a field called food and the word "Orange" appears in the field color. And then if I enter the word "Beans" in the field food then the word "Green" appears in the field color.
Thanks for you help in advance.

I have a database that had some code that enabled the user to click a button and it would take information from one Access query or table and paste it into specific locations in Excel. This is important because the last worksheet has specific formatting in place.
If it didn't, I'd just use the transfer spreadsheet option and not even bother opening Excel at all with code.
I've got it working well except for the last part. The last query being copied has eight records and only one is being sent to Excel. Same code as the other queries where all of their data is going to the right spot in Excel with the right number of records.
Private Sub AM_Top_25_Click()
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.OpenQuery "delete_ShortPartItems", acNormal, acEdit
DoCmd.OpenQuery "append_to_Short_Part_Items", acNormal, acEdit

Background I have a query (Q1) that retrives data from a table (Table 1). One of the fields in Table (F1) contains both text and numeric data (ie: 24 eggs). I want to separate these values in Q1.
Questions
How can i in Q1 retrive only numeric data from F1 and display that data i a field?

I have two numeric fields: num_council and num_council_districts
num_council is entered first
num_council_districts has this edit:

however it stops everything
clearly I'm not understanding something basic
I would like to know how to limit a field on a form to only Alpha Numeric characters.
Example: ~AAUZNTO
This would be scanned by a bar code and I want the field to show only this when scanned: AAUZNTO
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 a small problem with dlookup multiple criteria. Vba code looks like this:
Code:
Label34.Caption = DLookup("[Spent_Hours]", "249_1_CHours", "[Date_Added]= " & Me.Text27 & " And [Shift] = '" & Me.Text29 & "'")
This gives following error:
Syntax error in number in query expression '[Date_Added]=4.02.2015 And [Shift] = '2'.
[Shift] column is a numeric field.
I have a query which has a field where it shows reservations. if there is no reservation the field is empty.
how can I achieve getting a 0 in this field when it is empty?
I have On Load, Current, After Update events on a form, which all work fine. But, when I add a Before Update, I get the error: "Procedure declaration does not match description of event or procedure having the same name". Following is my code:
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
If InStr(Me.Filter, "=") > 0 Then
If IsNumeric(Mid$(Me.Filter, InStr(Me.Filter, "=") + 1, Len(Me.Filter) - InStr(Me.Filter, "="))) Then
Me.Tag = (Mid$(Me.Filter, InStr(Me.Filter, "=") + 1, Len(Me.Filter) - InStr(Me.Filter, "=")))
End If

How do I put all values under all 'u' 's into one table?
I am doing an assignment for uni and need to be able to autofill a textbox with the price of a service based on whether a checkbox, detailing whether the invoice has been paid, is ticked. I found the following formula which works: =IIf([Invoicepaid]=True,[ServPrice],0).
I put this into the control source box on my form but the only problem im having is that the price of the service is not being updated into the actual invoice table.
Hi,
I have a two column table and I want to display all records in the second column but I want it to be displayed in another single field.
Anyone has a trick on this?
Example:
Column1 Column2
001 Basket
002 Jar
003 Pillow
004 Hat
Result should be something like this:
Basket, Jar, Pillow, Hat
Sorry guys, I thought this would be simpler than it was!
Basically I just want to update my "Resolution date" field with the date or time now (which I know how to do) but AFTER I input data in my "Resolution" field ie I want a field to automatically record what time I am entering the text in my "Resolution" field?
How do I do this, and can I do it without writing a macro? I thought it was along the lines of After Update, but now I am confused!
Thanks again - I am learning just slowly!
Somewhat simplistic question, but I can't seem to get it to work correctly.
SELECT Field1, Field2
FROM Table1
WHERE Field1 = [Forms]![Form1]![Text1];
Form has two quieries, named Text0 and Text1. Text0 contains the Field info for the query to search under.
How do I change it so that this will work.
SELECT Field1, Field2
FROM Table1
WHERE [Forms]![Form1]![Text0] = [Forms]![Form1]![Text1];
Presently I am getting nothing but blank queries. I'm sure its some simplistic thing but I can't figure it out atm.
Hi,
I have a table that is used for project progress. One of the fields is named "Completed". I would like to know if it's possible to auto fill the data in the "completed" field based on three other fields within the same table.
ex: If field 1 = Yes, and field 2 = Yes, and filed 3 = Yes, then field "completed" = Yes
I'm open for any ideas, I'm new to access and am not sure how to get this started.
Thanks
I have 2 fields, a "Total' field and a "Submitted" field. The 'Total' field value will never change as it is used for reporting purposes but the 'Submitted' field will be edited as the work is completed but the initial value should be the same as the 'Total' field.
Is there a way to have the data in the 'Total' be set as the default value for the 'Submitted' field?
Hey guys im really stuck on this one and hope some one can help me out.
I have the following structure:
Table: Products
ID
Product Name
Table: Suppliers
ID
Supplier Name
Table: Prices
ID
Product Name
Supplier Name
Supplier Offer
Query: QrySuppliers
Prices.ID
Prices.Product Name
Prices.Supplier Name
Prices.Supplier Offer
Percent Off Trade: IIf(IsNull([Products]![Trade Price Euros]),0,([Products]![Trade Price Euros]-Nz([Prices]![Supplier Price],0))/[Products]![Trade Price Euros])
Because the "Percent Off Trade" field is unbound to a table I cant get the data into a report, instead every time I open the report it asks me for Products!Trade Price Euros :(
I've never tried doing complicated calculations in Access and would reallly appreciate any suggestions you guys could give me.
I tried to attatch the database but its 508kb so if anyone has a spare second and wants to check it out heres the link http://www.jeron.co.uk/Products.zip

I'm making up a stock system for the independent jewellers I work for. Each stock pattern needs an individual code which can quickly be recognised read as tickets are often taken off the jewellery and can be mixed up easily. To this end we categorise based on two criteria:
1. Material
2. Type
At the moment these are as follows:
MATERIAL
IDMaterial
0Base and Miscellaneous
1Silver
2Gold
3Palladium
4Platinum
5Pewter
TYPE
IDStock Type
0Previously Owned
1Ring
2Pendant
3Chain
4Necklace
5Bracelet or Bangle
6Earrings
7Brooch
8Gents
9Gift, Clock or Miscellaneous
So if I had three pairs of silver earrings I want the first to be No. 161, the next 162, the next 163. If I had three Gold Bracelets I'd want them No. 251, 252, 253 and so on...Material and type are both selected form separate Comboboxes on a form.
i've got a data entry form. when i click the button add all the other buttons go grey, i am in mode "New" also i am able to add, edit, records in this state, when i press save i want the supplierID field to automatically populate itself with the next SupplierID record THAT IS EMPTY. So say that my last record was ID number 45 then when i click add on my form and go into "New" state the SupplierID field automatically populates itself with "46" btw this is all an unbound form,

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a subform that I use in a few different ways on my database. It has a comment log with a memo field for people to insert their comments. The struggle is some can be long some can be short. Is there any way to have each record height adjust to the length of the memo?
If it cannot be done for the subform in regular use, my main concern is having it formatted for reports that are generated for clients.
I clipped and attached an example from a report. Its not the best example but the extra column height is adding additional pages to my report to accommodate one long comment.
My table has 3 fields, Employee Number (text), Job Description (text) and Current (yes/no). The table keeps track of the Job Descriptions that an Employee has had along with his current Job Description (actually Title is more appropriate a word but client requested Description) So the table has records such as:
0001 - Floor Sweeping - no
0001 - Ceiling Cleaning - yes
0001 - Dumpster Turning - no
The yes signifies that that is the current Job Description for employee #0001 and the others with no are previous Job Descriptions that the employee #0001 has held.
Now - I created a form to add these records to the table and on that form I want a list box to show the records in the table for this employee but I want to sort it such that the current Job Description is listed first and the rest show up in alphabetical order following. I have the query to list all of the Description, but how can I get the current one to always appear on the top of the list?
I have a query in which some of the field names were assigned a while back and don't make a lot of sense to the person who gets the report so I give them new labels in the query...for example:
I pull in the field AE_resp_req and in front of that I type in RM Response: AE_resp_req and when I run the query, the name for the field is RM Response and it works great. I have another field called Category_Rating that I pull into this query and I did the same thing: Exam Rating: Category_Rating (field name) but when I run the query it still says Category_Rating and I get no errors or messages..
I want to calculate the average of 16 anodes from text box into the "average drop" box and simultaneously want the data to be saved in the table too as one of the fields. Also, How to load form view while the database loads?
