Pasting Multiple Items.

Mar 6, 2008

I am trying to learn to use MS access 2007 and have a query about copying and pasting.

Is it possible to paste the same line of text into multiple lines or do I have to arrow down and paste into each individual box?? I can highlight any number of boxes in the same column but when I click paste it only pastes into the first highlighted box.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks

Tables :: VLookup Displaying Multiple Cells

Jul 17, 2014

I am creating a staffing database and currently have two tables:

Table 1 - Staff - which contains staff information ie. First Name, Last Name, Other Names

Table 2 - Staff Work History - which displays the shifts worked by each staff member.

In Table 2 - I have "Staff Name" which is populated using VLOOKUP and searching for the Staff Name from Table 1 - First Name, Last Name, Other Name.

I want Table 2 column "Staff Name" to display all parts of the name - not just display then when on the dropdown when you select the staff person. Currently only the First Name is displayed once you have chosen the staff person.

Pasting To Table From Excel

Feb 14, 2006

Hello All,

I'm having trouble pasting a series of records of text from an excel sheet to a table in access.

The field (Instructions) in the main table gets its values from another table (Instructions) with Inst_ID(autonumber) + Text.

The (Instructions) table was constructed based on the unique values found in the pool of all records (611) in the excel sheet - 102 unique records.

The problem occurs when i paste the bulk of records (611) to the field in the main table - stating that #The text is too long to be edited"

- My Field Size for the respective field in the main table is set to "LongInteger"
- In the Instructions Table the text records are set as "Memo"

What happens is that only 529 of the 611 records are allowed to be pasted the remainder end up in the "Paste Errors" table, which i then confirm exist in the Instructions Table.

This also happens for other fields where i attempt the same approach (unique values from excel to table, then pasting of 611 records to respective field in the main table) but here i'm able to paste a mere 30, 52, ... records of the total of 611.

Reading through the forum for this subject i found that what could be done (Long Integer + Memo), I believe, has already been done.

So i was hoping someone could provide some help for this issue, or to figure out if what i'm trying to do is not possible.

It must be said that some of the Instruction's text really have a large character count but certainly less than 65,xxx (memo)


Thanks for any help provided. :)
Kind regards,
Ode.

Pasting Data With Autonumber

Feb 13, 2007

Hi, I have a table holding data with each record allocated an Autonumber data type. I accidentally deleted some of these records, although they are still present in another table. How do i paste them from this other table into my current table, allowing them to keep their original autonumbers instead of just adding them to the end?

(eg - I have records with Autonumbers 1,2,3,4,5 and after deleting 3 and 4 i have 1,2,5.
I need to paste records 3 and 4 (from other table) so as they again become 3 and 4 and not 6 and 7)

Thanks.

Pasting To Excel For VLOOKUP

Mar 27, 2014

I am copying and pasting the results of an Access query to Excel for the purposes of using that data as the source for a VLOOKUP. However, it seems that no matter what I do the cells that were pasted from Access do not correspond to the same values that are in the lookup table in Excel. For example, I want to find the value ABC from column A of the pasted Access data to find the corresponding ABC in the Excel array. It doesn't consider it a match even though both cells are formatted the same way. I've even gone so far to test it by putting a logical comparison of the specific cells in another cell and it claims they are not the same even though the values are exactly the same. The only thing that seems to work is if I manually type over the value pasted from Access with the same value that is already in the cell. Then the VLOOKUP works. However, I am not about to go typing all these values manually. That's why I used an Access query. How do I get Excel to recognize that these values indeed match?

Stop Copying And Pasting Operation

Apr 4, 2006

Hi,
Am not sure if its possible with access but have a hunch that it might not be something very difficult.

I have developed an access FE/BE application (in the network). The front-end users run query and view the results fine.

They copy (ctrl-C) the data from the query datasheet and paste (ctrl-V) it to Ms-Excel which I want to stop. Is there any way that I can stop/restrict them from copying the data and pasting it somewhere else. I want to stop this operation.

Thanks in advance.

Pasting Data From A Spreadsheet To Database

May 23, 2006

Hi there,

I have a spreadsheet which has a large amount of data. It is organised by database structure. I'm aware of primary keys etc but what I want to avoid is creating each field as new.

For example I would like to copy the fields from excel and paste them to create feilds in access. I'm aware that I would have to manually input any special parameters. This would save me a couple of hours.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Very Basic Question About Pasting Data

Jul 23, 2007

Hi there, and sorry for such a stupid question..

I'm just making the change from excel to access for my business.

Most things seem straightforward but I can't seem to paste a single value into multiple records.

For instance, I have a couple of hundred records. I add a new field. The first 70 records all have the same value (5) for this field. In excel I would put 5 in the top cell, copy it, select all the other cells and hit paste. Doesn't seem to work in access, just paste a single one at a time.

Best I can come up with is to copy and paste 1. Then copy and paste those 2, then those 4 and so on. This does the job for 200 records but I' wouldn't facy it for 20,000....

Is there a simple answer or is it a VBA job?

Cheers,
Dave

Pasting Data From Excel To Access

Mar 15, 2005

Hello,

I'd like an easy way for my users to be able to transfer data from Excel to Access. Basically, I'd like them to manually create a new parent record, and paste into an empty text box new child records. Then, when they clicked finish, I'd grab the info in the text box and put it in the appropriate tables. The trouble is - I have no clue how to do this. If someone could tell me how to get data pasted into a textbox into a table, I could figure the rest out. Any advice?

Thanks,
Eric

Problem Pasting Hyperlinks In Access

Dec 21, 2004

Trying to paste hyperlinks in main table - Access allowed me to paste one - using the edit-paste hyperlink function- however now and forevermore that function is "grayed out" and I can no longer paste hyperlinks - I need to past approximately 1400 hyperlinks into a table so that the user can access secure intranet sites by clicking on the appropriate field in the form view -

If I can't get this to work...is it possible to run a macro from a command button on the form to open Internet explorer, paste stated text into the address bar (example www.) and then paste data from a field in the form into the string in the address bar, and then finally, follow up with stated text.

Example would be: Field=1234567

Macro opens explorer and pastes "www.testwebpage1234567toprovepoint.com into the address bar.


thanks...

Pasting A Formula Into Properties Window

Apr 21, 2015

I am now trying to put in control source formulas. Like the one shown below on the far right.

I used to copy and paste them into the properties window - control source. That is not working - frequently only part of the formula gets in. The form does not work or gives bad information.

However, is that the only way that I know to cut and paste a formula into properties window?

I know that on the far right on the properties windows control source is an ellipsis (...) which opens up a window I think where could can paste the formula in.

The tutorial is here: [URL]....

Text Box
txtCustomerName
=IIf(IsNull([AccountNumber]),"",DLookUp("LastName","Customers","AccountNumber
= '" & [AccountNumber] & "'")+','+DLookUp("FirstName","Customers","AccountNumber
= '" & [AccountNumber] & "'"))

Copy And Pasting Values From One Form To The Next

May 28, 2013

I currently have two forms both usedfor adding new records into two different tables. The problem I am having was first that I could not simply bring the value in the ID field over from one form to the next. Now all I would like to be able to do is copy the value in the first ID and Paste in the second ID field on the second form.

I am currently getting an error possibly because the ID field on the first form in the Primary key for the table that form is linked to, on the second form however ID field is not the Primary key, I also can't make it the primary key because their are duplicate records that I cannot delete.

So... is it possible to get around this somehow to be able to copy and paste from one form to another?

Tables :: Copy And Pasting Carry Forward Value In Same Table

Aug 24, 2013

I have a table in MS Access naming "Salutation" and in the table I have 6 columns and each column named as Week No., Carry Forward records, new records, total records, processed records and pending records. Like below

Week No. Carry Forward records new records total processed pending
1 0 10 10 5 5
2 5 10 15 7 8

So now the requirement is every day pending records should get updated in the next row with in the same table under carry forward records of its next immediate day. For e.g. pending records of week number 1 which is 5 should get updated under carry forward records for week number 2 and so on.

Images In Cells...

Feb 19, 2008

Hello,

I did a cursory search of the forum and didn't find anything (probably more my search than the content). I also think I know the answer to this, but I want to clear it up once and for all.

Is it true that I cannot insert an image into an Access Table in a way that it treats the image like data (e.g., it comes up on reports as entered).

If so, and I suspect it is so, what would be the best way to associate a row with a certain image in Access? Here's what I'm hoping to do: I have a list of projects and all of them have a status. Right now the "status" column includes the text "Green," "Yellow," or "Red." I would rather have this text display as green, yellow, or red color rather than text. Is this possible?

Thank you!! :D

There's Got To Be A Better Way! Merging Cells...

Aug 31, 2006

Once again, I'm working with a file that I got from somewhere else that isn't in *quite* the right format.

What I have is a table listing all of the titles and their holdings we have in various journal databases. The table looks something like this:

|____TITLE____|___COVERAGE______|____DATABASE___|
|_ABC Journal_|_1998 until 2000_|_EBSCOhost DB__|
|_ABC Journal_|_1953 until 1986_|_Proquest DB___|
|_ABC Journal_|_1980 until 2006_|_Free Journals_|
|_XYZ Journal_|_1899 until 1956_|_CINAHL DB_____|
|_XYZ Journal_|_2000 until 2006_|_EBSCOhost DB__|
|_XYZ Journal_|_1955 until 1999_|_Proquest DB___|

The titles, as you can see, are listed more than once, with one record for each holdings record from each database where that title is found. For my purposes, I need the holdings to show up all together. I can do this in a report, by sorting by the title, but I really need to have it all together in its own cell--one line per title. The above table should look more like this:
|____TITLE____|_______________________COVERAGE____ _________________|
|_ABC Journal_|_1998 until 2000_,_1953 until 1986_,_1980 until 2006_|
|_XYZ Journal_|_1899 until 1956_,_2000 until 2006_,_1955 until 1999_|

I don't really care what happens to the database field, but if it helps, the title and the database fields together would be a unique combination in the table.

Currently, I am working on an exported version of this table in excel, merging the cells 2 by 2 with a function command like this: =A2&" "&B2. Since there are 32366 records, I hope there is a quicker way. At this rate, I'm not sure if I'll be done for 100 years.
