Jul 2, 2005What is the best way to setup a phone number field that will contain numbers from North America and Europe?

Any suggestions?

Jan 20, 2006Greetings... I am setting up a text box to accept a phone number with an input mask of 000-000-0000;0;_ but it isnt doing quite what I want it to do, I would like it to start at the begining when clicked to prevent the error of a user typing in the number a space too far to the right. (right now it places the cursor where ever the user clicks, which becomes a major pain when you want to just be able to click the field anywhere and type from left to right for sake of speed)
thanks for any solutions you might have to offer
Add Padding To Phone Number
Nov 27, 2006I have a list of about 900 phone numbers, which have been formatted in excel to have a 0 at the beginning of the phone number. However when i export the data to access, so it can be viewed on a webpage this formatting is lost.
How best can i go about adding a zero at the beggining of all of the phone numbers in my list? Can it be done using sql or is there another function in access that can do this.
Thanks
Phone Number Input Mask
Jan 10, 2007Ok I have an excel spreadsheet with over 6000 phone numbers that I need to import into a table. I have set up my field with an input mask to display a phone number as (xxx) xxx-xxxx. I have also set up my excel spreadsheet to have the numbers set up like 1234567890 to make it easy to throw in and let the input mask take over. My question is: I have some numbers that have an extension and are set up as 1234567890 x 102. I can take out the "x" and have all of the numbers run together, but what is the input mask syntax to have it display as say "(xxx) xxx-xxxx ext.xxx"?
Thanks:o
Queries :: Search Like And Phone Number Format
Apr 12, 2013I have the following VBA code to search for a string
Code:
'Search by Phone
Private Sub CmdSearchPhones_Click()
Me.Refresh
strSQL = "SELECT Tbl_Contacts.ContactID, Tbl_Contacts.FName, Tbl_Contacts.LName, Tbl_Contacts.Address, Tbl_Contacts.City, Tbl_Contacts.State, Tbl_Contacts.Zip, Tbl_Contacts.HomePhone, Tbl_Contacts.WorkPhone,
[Code] .....
My issue is that this works 50/50, because phone numbers on the database are NOW being stored in this format (000) 000-0000 and previous DB phone numbers got stored as 0000000000. The above code finds previous DB phone numbers (even if we dont enter all 10 digits) without a problem but has issues with new phone numbers stored in the new format UNLESS I specify the search with (000) 000-0000 (but we want to be able to search without adding that and without typing all 10 digits - in case we forget part of the number we are looking for)
How can I tell my query to find both formats, with the (000) 000-0000 AND 0000000000 ....

Phone Number Format Problem With Mail Merge
Jul 26, 2006Twilight Zone Phormat Problem
I have a mail merge from Access into Word that works great except for a baffling problem with phone number formatting. Instead of (987) 654-3210, on certain records the merge produces 9876543210. I cannot identify a pattern to explain it, but it is not random. Certain records consistently leave the format behind on the phone number, some on the fax number, and some on both. This problem is affecting about 1/3 of the contact records. I have the Input Mask on Phone and Fax in the table set to !(999") "000-0000;0;_. Is anyone familiar with this problem?
General :: Phone Number Changing By Itself In Table Field
Aug 14, 2013In Access 2002, I have a Phone Number field (Text) that is meant to store (obviously enough) phone numbers. However, when I enter 2009 as the last four digits (ex. (555)-555-2009) the number is changed to (555)-555-2010. This also occurs if I enter the number directly into the table (which doesn't have an input mask). I have tested it in a new form (even without input mask), and a new table, which both result in the exact same thing.

Does Anyone Have Any Suggestion?
Mar 19, 2008Hi,
I'm building a database and here is what I'm trying to achieve:
I have a form which takes individual records and stores them in the table called Comments Draft. On the form, I have a Status combo box from which I can label each record as "Draft" or "Final".
When I select "Final" on the form, I would like to take the record and move it to another table, which I can call Comments Final and then create a query which would delete record in Comments Draft table.
or
When I select "Final" on the form, I would like to disable editing option for that record. In this case, I would not mind if the record stays in the Comment Draft table but I would prefer the first scenario I described above.
I've been playing with this for a while now and I'm able to label each record as draft or final in the Comments Draft table and I'm able to disable or enable editing for all records regardless if it is draft or final.
Does anyone have a suggestion on what I'm trying to achieve? I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you,

Suggestion On Managing Priorities In A Form
Sep 19, 2006I'm writing a task tracking database to be used during staff meetings. Each task should be assigned a priority, and no two tasks should ever have the same priority. Easy enough.
Here's where I could use some suggestions. If I have a new task, what would be easiest way to manage that insertion (assuming it has a higher priority than the lowest item), without having to renumber all the other items in the table?

Feb 17, 2008Hi
I am trying to run some queries on a large customer file that has very poor data - particularly in the contact number fields.
If there are more than six "1"s, "9"s, or "0"s in the number, then we are planning to treat it as an invalid number and replace it with a null.
Any ideas about how to do this?

Validating Phone Numbers
Mar 25, 2008Hi
I am trying to work with a large table of customer data.
I know that there is a large number of invalid values.
I would like to run a make table query that would check the phone number against a table of known invalid numbers (e.g. 1234567, 11111111, 99999999, etc).
If the number exists on the invalid table, then I would like to replace it with a null value.
Regards

Phone Book Problem
Nov 23, 2004Here is my setup:
In Acess 97 I have a single data base with 5 tables, Attorneys, Employers, Health Care Professionals and two others. All tables have exactly the same fields.
I am trying to create a “phone book” made up of all the records in the data base. The form for this phone book has only a few fields such as fname, lname, phone, address. It also has the autonumber field. The record source for the form is a Union Query. When I open the form it works well. I get lawyers, employers, doctors , etc. all in alphabetical order.
Here is my problem:
I have a command button labeled “View Record.” I want to be able to click on this and have it find the record in its original table and open the form for that table so the record can be modified (on exiting the record I have it requery so the phone book is updated).
I can only get this to work with one table at a time, that is, the table that is named in the event procedure code. So if I am in, say, an Attorney record and tblAttoney is named in the event procedure code, all works well. But if I am in, say, an Employer record I get a blank Attorney form opened.
How can I get it to trace the autonumber to the proper table and open the record . I assume that the autonumbers are unique ACROSS all five tables since they are in the same database.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

All the data transfered, but the phone numbers.
In Design View, the phone numbers are listed as numbers, not text.

How do I move that into the Table that I first created?

Looking For Free/shareware PDA And Cell Phone Tracking Database
Nov 13, 2005Hi,
I have a list of 500 PDA users, spread over 7 offices.
I want to keep an eye on what happens with the devices and their SIM-cards. As they are often swapped between offices and SIM-cards get lost.
I am pretty sure that I don't have to re-invent the wheel.
Do you have any idea of a free/shareware tracking tool for PDA's and cell phones ?
Thanks in advance !
RecordsetClone Problem On Northwind's Customer Phone List
Feb 16, 2006When attempting to select a letter in a form copied from the Northwind's Customer Phone List Form, I am now getting an error message that says "The object doesn't contain the Automation object "RecordsetClone'".
I never had that problem before.
Appears to be something in the Option Group that has gone awry, but I cannot access the Visual Basics behind the Macro.
Is there a way to suppress this message? It does not appear to be a problem in bringing up the sought after page.
