Postcode Web Database Lookup...
Dec 3, 2006
hi guys,
Just been asked this and not sure if it is possible...
they do not want to pay loads of money to the royal mail for their postcode/address data. but they want a faster way (like typing postcode and address options popup) of entering addresses. There are tons of websites that can be used to find addresses with a postcode, i was wondering if it was possible to somehow link the database to lookup address from a website...?
anyone got any ideas?
thanks, james

I was wondering if anyone had any experience of integrating a product like QuickAddress (QAS) into an Access Database to aid the completion of address details. ThanksRussG

I've been racking my brain the last couple of days trying to figure out how to solve this problem, and I believe I've reached the end of my rope. I have a feeling that this isn't very difficult to a more savvy Access person, but I am at a loss.
Here's the situation. I have received a fairly large DB containing CCTV data for sanitary sewers. There are primarily two tables I'm dealing with, one lists a number (auto-number) for each pipe that was televised. Simple enough. The other uses this legacy number to show all deformities or service leads within a particular length of pipe. For example, for run X, there may be 7 rows in the table with X as the ID, one for each service lead along that length of pipe (I hope this is making sense :()
Ultimately, we need to tie this database into our GIS theme. To do this, I will need to add to the PipeID number from our GIS theme to the access table. What I've done so far is to create a new table in the DB with the number for each pipe televised, and I've manually added the corresponding PipeID number from the GIS in the second column. What I'm hoping to do is add a new column to my occurrence table so that for each occurrence X, I can add the GIS PipeID number. Perhaps this would make more sense:
Run # PipeID
1 S143
1 S143
1 S143
1 S143
2 S231
2 S231
2 S231
2 S231
3 S543
3 S543
3 S543
I've gone ahead and created the relationship between the newly created table and the existing table based on that auto-number field, and I've made the new PipeID column a combo box. This shows all of my PipeID numbers, which is a good thing. I'm hoping there's a way for it to automatically recognize the auto-number field and populate the PipeID field accordingly.
Have you ever known what you want to say, but not quite understood how to say it? That's kind of how I feel about this question, and I do apologize if I've made no sense. But if I have, and anyone has any suggestions for me, they would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Azimuth

I am trying to do a lookup from a field from one of my databases (DB1) onto another field in (DB2).... I have been using excel to do vlookups but a report that I do weekly I do atleast 7 lookups for the past weeks... So I am trying to find a way in access to do lookups and save those lookups each time i run the report... Do I have to create the query and make the ID the primary key on both the databases and then create a relationship?

I have two tables, one table (1) hold three fields, one of those fields is the master key (index). The other table (2) has a field which I want to lookup from table 1, that part is working. In the combo box I get all three fields displayed as I make my selection. I want to copy the other two fields as text at the time the lookup index is selected. I do not what the fields to automatically update each time the table is displayed. I have looked at update macros, I've looked at VBA.

I want to develop (create) a database using MS Access 2007 or 2010 about Amazon.com.
My ideas are:
1. Create a form to lookup items in the actual amazon website, and then sort the results of the search.
2. View the results. If I select Add to Cart or Add to Wish List, send the item information to my Access database.

I am attempting to develop a DB to track hardware assets, e.g., servers, switches, storage devices, etc... I am at the very beginning of the development/design process. I haven't gone beyond the paper stage yet. I am trying to figure out how I would set up the main Asset table so that when I put in a particular vendor, the model field will list models only for that specific vendor. i.e., when I put in IBM in the Vendor field I will only see IBM models in a drop down for the Vendor_Model field.
I'm pretty sure this will involve a Lookup field. But, how do I restrict the lookup of models. Would that be with a query?

Hi Guys,
I have searched the forum, and not really found the answer I`m looking for.
I used in my Database, a postcode field, which for 90% of the postcodes I input is is fine.
However, som of the postcodes dont conform to standard post codes.
I`ve found some info in this link, http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=89393&highlight=links
but this didnt really help.
Most postcodes ( as set in the database properties ) confirm to thiis standard
SK01 1AA
Which if intered in this format works all OK.
However, some postcodes go in as fiollows
M01 1AA
Which leaves me a digit short, and messes up my search sections of the database, and the link to external map programs like M$ Mappoint.
Is there anyway that anyone knows of that will sort this out, and allow both entries withouht screwing up other programs.
This field is also a REQUIRED field, and must be a data field, or my external program links like M$ Map Point wont work.
THanks in advance guys.
Max

hello all
this thing is really bugging me im trying to come up with a post code validation and i have tried dozens, which should have worked really, but just havent so wondering if you guys knew any
examples of postcodes would be
BN3 8JH
BN41 8JH
theyre the only two types that are bound to be entered really
the first and second characters have to be a letters
the 3rd has to be a number
the 4th is sometimes a letter (not always present)
then theres a space
then there has to be a number
letter
letter
any suggestive codes would be great, as none of mine have worked its in access
thanks

I have a split database and need a field (Combo type) in the table to lookup values from a query in the front end. How do I do this as it doesn't see the querys because the front and back end are split?

My colleague has a multiple table database and uses lookups for some fields. The simple query was to extract 3 fields and display all records from those fields. The result of the query was that the selected fields were listed first followed by all other fields which are usually not displayed.

Hi,
I have a postcode field on a form that allows 8 characters. e.g. ST10 8BY including the space in the middle.
The only validation I have been able to use thus far is the above but I would like to know how to validate two letters (AA) then between 1 and 2 numbers (11) etc.
Is there any code/built in functions that allows this. I know there is an input mask but if I use that, I can set the poscode format up like ST10 8BY but it thinks that the rule has been broken if the postcode was changed to S10 8BY by removing the T. This is also a valid postcode.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Am trying to query a customer database to find a how many instances of each postcode exist to determine geographic distribution. Only interested in the first part of the postcode so the following code was suggested:
SELECT Count(owners.Field8) AS Total, Left$([Field8], Len([Field8])-3) AS Code
FROM owners;
However it returned a message saying "you tried to execute a query that does not include the specified expression 'Left$([Field8], Len([Field8])-3)' as part of an aggregate funtion.
What does this mean? :confused:

Hi All,
Can anyone help me count postcode instances. I have a query that looks at my customers table (tbl_Customer_Details) post code field (PostCode), at the moment I have got it to strip out the right side of the postcode leaving me the left district side eg. HG12 8EN becomes HG12. I would then like to count how many times each postcode instance occurs so I can create a report on the result so I can track which district the customers are coming from. I hope this explains the problem. Any help would be mich appreciated.
SELECT tbl_Customer_Details.PostCode, Left([Postcode],4) AS Code
FROM tbl_Customer_Details
GROUP BY tbl_Customer_Details.PostCode;

I've tried to steal an SQL Postcode validator (This is for UK postcodes) and add it to an AfterUpdate event on a field in MS Access. It doesn't work, obviously,The VBA code is:
Private Sub Postal_Code_AfterUpdate()
Dim CHECK_Code As Integer
Dim LResponse As Integer
If InStr("[A-Z][0-9] [0-9][A-Z][A-Z]", Postal_Code) = 0 Then
CHECK_Code = 0
[code]....
Also, how would I put the Check_Code value into the Message box to see what it's bringing back?

I have a drawing register database which notes the revisions for all drawings issued. One drawing can be revised several times so I have a details table which notes the revision letter, date issued and the notes for each revision. Using this table I created a max date query to show the latest issue date and revision for each drawing. This query is used for a transmittal form for issuing drawings. Both the form and report is working perfectly.
The TBLTransmittal consists of the following fields
ContractName
IssueDate
SubSup
DwgNo (multi-value checkbox)
Using the TBLDwgRegisterDtls or the query QRYDtldDwgReg (which includes the drawing titles) I would like to create a query that would look up the latest revision at the date of issue and show the revision letter.
I started a query combining TBLTransmittal and TBLDwgRegisterDtls and in the criteria for DateIssued of the TBLSDwgRegisterDtls (which is when the drawing was issued by the architect to the contractor) I put "Not > [IssueDate]". This is filtering the information to show revisions issued up to the date we (the contractor) issued the drawing to our sub-contractor but I need now to pull the max revision only from this information.
Before I go I will give you an example of what I want from the end result
Drawing BK2-02 rev. D was issued by the architect to the contractor on July 17th. This drawing was in-turn issued to our sub-contractor (Sub "A") this Saturday, August 9th. The same drawing was revised this morning and rev. E was issued to Sub "A" today, August 11th.
I want the end report to show that Sub A received Rev. D on 09-08-14 and Rev. E on 11-08-14.
I'm wondering if another max date query on this new query would work? I'll try and see what happens.

I guess this is pretty fundamental but I cant get it right! I want to search for a member by post code so I need to have validation for my table field post code so that when my parameter query accepts the post code input records will be returned covering all input types e.g. Users can put in CF72 (space)9AD or CF729AD and still get the same records or alternately how do I make users enter Post Codes with the correct UK spacing i.e 4 characters a space then the remaining characters?

Hello all!
I have a customer database and I basically want to find out their geographical distribution. To do this I need to run a query that gives me the sum of customers for each postcode, but this is dependent on only the first few characters of the postcodes (or prefix), eg BH3. The length of the prefix varies between 2 characters and 4 characters with one or two characters followed by one or two numbers.
What I don't want to happen for example is to have postcodes counted as BH1 when in fact they are BH13 or to have postcodes coutned as BH13 when they are actually BH1 3LV.
Does anyone have any suggestions of how I can do this? :confused:
Any help most gratefully received!
:)

Hi
If i wanted to run a query from customer records in my database and wanted a list of specific postcodes that matched the criteria how would i do this?
For example each customer records has a postcode BD4 4KL, LS9 7YH ETC
I want to categorise each postcode set to see for example all the customers with postcodes begining with have ordered factsheets.
In the criteria part of the query how would i write it so it only extracts specific postcodes from the database from the ones i require
e.g "HU1, HU2, HU3 HU4" - checks database - returns all postcodes beginning with this.
Please help me!
Thanks

The problem with UK postcodes is that there are 6 different formats. These are:
A9 9AA
A99 9AA
AA9 9AA
AA99 9AA
A9A 9AA
AA9A 9AA
I've seen on similar threads where people have just forced the field into capitals, but my data requires that it is a valid postcode and I cant find an input mask that allows all UK postcode.

I have two tables, one being an 'Address' file and the other an 'Area' file which is a list columns ranging from 1-400 with groups of district level postcodes. For Example; column 1 will have postcodes such as BN1, BN2, BN3, BN4, BN5 etc. Each column has a separate group of postcodes.
Now, my 'Address' file also has a column within this labelled 'District' in order for me to create a straight join (between column number and District) in a query to count each group individually, but of course, do to this 400 times becomes quite tedious! (to say the least)
I would require the outcome to be as follows :
Area file - Count
1 - 469
2 - 201
3 - 0
4 - 3598
5 - 268
. - 101
. - 8936
. - 563
399 - 287
400 - 41

I am using access 2010 and have the following question?
I have 2 tables, 1 called UKFile and the other Customers with the following fields
[UKFILE] THIS IS WHERE ADDRESS DETAILS ARE STORED
POSTCODEID
POSTCODE
STREET
TOWN
[CUSTOMERS]
CUSTOMERNAME
POSTCODE
STREET
TOWN
CONTACTNAME
TELEPHONE
How do I link these so that when I enter the customers postcode it grabs the data from the UKFile table.
Should I change structure at this early stage,
