I have a bunch of queries put in 1 macro. Of course, some queries have the same parameter [Enter current monthend] so when I run a macro, there are few popups asking to [Enter current monthend]. It’s annoying for users to put in the same parameter 2 or 3 times for a report. Is there a way to avoid it?
I tried to make [Enter current monthend] as a new_field so the 2nd query could pick up new_field instead of [Enter current monthend] again but that gave me an error b/c the new_field automatically has ‘binary’ datatype instead of ‘date’ datatype. How can I fix this?
I've posted this in my usual Excel forum without any response so I figure someone here might be able to help. I'm using an SQL query in an Excel VBA macro to extract info from an Access table and dump it into an Excel worksheet, which works fine except for a Memo field, which is truncated to one character length - text fields are fine, just this one Memo field. I'm using the Microsoft DAO 3.6 library. Any ideas?
my table have a a text field F1 (data ex:25%) and number field F2 . I have a query which contains a new number field based on the above fields i.e F3=F1*F2.My query is not able to retrieve the data.My data is been filled with error#.How i can convert the data types in order to get the multiplication of those two fields.
the standard value for the yes/no datatype = no..I try to set the standard value to yes but I can not be allowed for yes ? how do I set it to yes ? I have open the table, then I could not change to yes.
When I export or do a make table query from Oracle to Access, the new table has some of the datatypes changed. Many of my numberic fields are decimal instead of Long Interger. I then need to go and manually cahnge them back. If I forget or miss one, it crashes another application we use.
Has anyone come up with a solution to automatically go through the table structure and change the datatype from one format to another? This would be a great help.
Hi, When I click this buton I get an error on one of the following lines.. I can't figure out why and how to fix it. the error I get is run-time error '3464': Data type mismatch in criteria expression. I made the part where the error occurs in bold and italics

I'm a having a problem with a Yes/No datatype. Fundamentally, my code looks like this:
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tblAddresses " & _ " WHERE YPID = " & Me.Parent.IDNUMBER & " AND CurrentAddress = yes"
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
Now this statement returns 3 records even though only 1 Current Address exists.
false also returns 3 records true also returns 3 records no also returns 3 records -1 also returns 3 records 0 also returns 3 records 1 RETURNS 0 records!!
If I look at the table in Access, I only have 1 CurrentAddress record for my IDNumber.
I have a problem with changing a datatype into a number. The thing is that all the fields are in text and i want to change some of them to a number datatype. If i try to change the field to a number i get a message that come up as This:The setting for the field size property of on or more fields has been changed to a shorter size. If data lost, validation rules may be violated as a result. I try to export it into an excel file and change all the field that i need to be a number and convert them into a number and it work by when i import them back into access they don't change.
I have a property database linked to ArcView 3.1. It has a field that links to the ArcView Database called ID which is unique and set to a data type of double.
I have a further form that can go straight to a record if you know it's ID. This form works fine so long as the ID field is no more than 5 digits. I have a series of polygons that have six figure ID's - the link to arcview works fine using these six fig ID fields however the form that looks for that particular ID can't cope with the six figure numbers...
My problem is although I could change all the ID's of the records in the Database so that the search on ID worked (ie five figure id) they then wouldn't match with the overlay in ArcView and I would not be able to link through using code without first changing and matching all the codes associated with the polygons (time consuming)
I did try changing the datatype of the ID field to long integer but still have the same problem. Strange that the search works for five figure IDs and not six.
Does anyone know whether this is a data type error or is it some simple oversight.? I can probably work out some way of changing all the ID fields to five figures but would prefer to keep the six figures as they are used in some pre-printed material as refs
order_id is an autonumber key field form table Orders_table. Is is also selected in the row.source for the form I am using. ComboOrder_ID is a combo box that looks up the order_id from the table with a SELECT... ... So I think the two should be the same datatype!
When I set the order_id in the combo the event procedure runs I get the following debug error:- Runtime error '3464': Datatype mismatch in criteria expression
This is the code for the after event on that combobox: [code] Private Sub ComboOrder_ID_AfterUpdate() ' Find the record that matches the control. Dim rs As Object Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone rs.FindFirst "orders_table.order_id = '" & Me![ComboOrder_ID] & "'" If rs.NoMatch Then MsgBox "it's the <find> that is broken" Else Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark End Sub [end code] Any help is much appreciated Thx. Kev.
I am building a database in Access 2007 that needs currently includes images and excel files as embedded OLEs. I am aware this is not ideal, but I can't change my employer's mind.
I've been looking in to the Attachment data type but am having trouble deciding if it will work as a substitute for my purposes. I know a variety of image file types can be displayed inside Access on forms and reports, but I can't find anything about displaying the contents of an excel sheet. I read something about using Active X controls to display .pdf images - is there anything similar for Excel?
I had created a Access DB where there is a query named as "GenerateTimeHours", here whenever am trying to do a search by ID, Time & Date, always getting "data type mismatch error", I checked it and understand this Error is causing for Date Search Clause, I tried every possible way to change the date format, using #, etc etc but no result :Query As follows:
Code:
SELECT GenrateTimeHours.ID, GenrateTimeHours.MaximumSeatsNumber, GenrateTimeHours.DaysInMonth, GenrateTimeHours.Hour, GenrateTimeHours.Remaining, GenrateTimeHours.FinalSeats FROM GenrateTimeHours WHERE GenrateTimeHours.ID = 1 and GenrateTimeHours.Hour between #08:00:00 AM# and #10:00:00 AM# AND (GenrateTimeHours.DaysInMonth) between #7/2/2013# AND #7/3/2013#;
I'm in datasheet design view and I'm trying to change the data type of a cell and add a lookup. When I try to change the datatype I get an error which says I need to remove a relationship first - except I did. I deleted all the relationships, saved and closed the relationship view and closed and reopened the table.
I'm building a database at work to see if we can replace some of the "buhzillion" spreadsheets we currently use to track data on sites and employees across the country. I've set up the primary excel tables the way I want to import them, but Access keeps converting my Employee Numbers (mostly 7 digit numbers, "text" format in excel) to scientific notation during the import process and then giving me errors because my primary key "EmployeeNumber" has duplicates. How do I tell Access to import these as text instead of numbers? I'd really like to not have to type in data for 100+ employees and over 1000 sites, you know?
Hi all,I'm trying to attach some table from a Sql Server database, but when I take a look to the content, I see all the fields filled by the value "#CANCELLED".I supposed that the matter of such an issue could be the datatype used for some fields, a user-defined datatype. The only table content from the same Sql Server database I can see does not use that data type. I'm using a read-only account to access the Sql Server database. If I try to import the table, the data are imported correctly and the user-datatype is converted to text.Any suggestions for a solution / workaround ?Thanks Bye
I have a table 'Project Details' to which I have recently added a new field 'Last Invoice issued'. This field is a text field with a lookup and will default to 'No' for new records being added. When the related record is updated in my 'Invoices' table, I have set up a query to change 'Last Invoice Issued' to yes. This is all working fine, but it requires all the records in 'Project Details' to contain 'No' already in order for it to work. As there are over 1000 records in 'Project Details' I made a list in Excel of the right number of no's and copied it in. Most records were fine with the exception of 127. I can edit any of the other fields from the 'Project Details' datasheet or my data entry form, but when I try to edit one of the 127, I get a DataType mismatch error. I can't understand since the records are all in one table and have exactly the same DataTypes set up for each field, why I can edit some and not others? Is there some other place where DataType can be set up that may affect some records and not others?
I have tried to copy my table to post here but when I do that, I get a 'Index or Primary Key cannot contain a Null value' error due to the (New) record having the default values already in but the primary key not being filled until I save,.
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.
Code: Dim rs As Object Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone rs.FindFirst "[OwnerID] = '" & Me![lstUsers] & "'" Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark <---- error is here for the datatype mismatch or No record found
I am using the dcount function as the example I display below. The problem is that it returns the correct result (i.e. 59) but the data type is text (59 is on the left side) . I need this to be number.
I have this linked table query from a OBDC and I need to be able to filter out specific dates in that query. The dates in the table were in text format and I converted the dates using the CDate function. I wanted to filter the query to a single date and always I get the Datatype mismatch in criteria expression error.
However, filtering dates does work only when there are other specifications in the criteria fields (e.g. if I specify a date and and name). My SQL code in error looks like this:
SELECT purch_hist.PUITM AS ITEM, purch_hist.PUPO AS PO, purch_hist.PUQTY AS QTY_RECEIVED, CDate([purch_hist.PURDT]) AS RECEIPT_DATE, itmcnt.ITBYR AS BUYER, purch_hist.PUCST AS UNIT_COST, vendor.NVNO AS VENDOR NO,
[code]...
This query works fine with a non converted date field, however the dates I need are in text format and need to be converted since I do not have permissions to edit the tables.
