I am trying to reformat a string of text so that it is easier to read on a report.Based on the text, it seems like the best thing to do is to insert a carriage return before a date/time stamp.Here is the data (it's a conversation log)...it is three unique conversation log entries:
04/13/2014 8:21PM - all work and no play is no fun - Bob Smith04/13/2014 8:21PM - this is a test of the emergency broadcast system - Bob Smith04/13/2014 8:20PM - log testing - Bob Smith
If the carriage return is before the date/time string, then all entries would look the same. If the carriage return is after the date/time string.A user had suggested a child table to break out the data into separate records, but I'm sad to say that I never worked with child tables. Any way for replacing 'Date/time stamp' with 'carriage return' & 'Date/time stamp"
I have a bound form which opens as a new record. If I accidently press carriage return by mistake whilst entering it goes to another new record, how do I stop this behaviour?
I only want the record to save with the click of a button.
e.g: InputText is 123, InputText2 is abc I wanted to display the text inside textbox of frmCalendar as: 123 abc instead of 123abc. how shall i use the vbCrLf?
How i can cancel the a carriage return and replace with a tab or stop it moving down my subform and make it move the the next field instead of going to a new line.
I am using the Keydown but don't know how to cancel it, it just bring an message but it stops it moving to a new record,
Code:
Private Sub Barcode_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer) If KeyCode = vbKeyReturn Then MsgBox "rtn pressed" End If End Sub End If
I am sending an email from a button, and it runs a word merge and then attaches that word document and two others two an email. All that works fine, but in the body of the email the carriage return is not working.
I've tried "vbCrLf", "Chr(13)" and "Chr(10)". but none of them are working in this email. I use vbCrLf all of the time in many other emails and it works fine.
Code:
Public Function SendEmailFinancial() Dim MessageBody, vAttach1, vAttach2, vAttach3, vTo Dim appOutLook As Outlook.Application Dim MailOutLook As Outlook.MailItem
[Code] ...
This is what the email is looking like when it comes out:
Project ID: 2013YG00229 Project Title: Toolbox Talks Construction Safety Guides and Mobile App Program Manager: Shana Peschek I am attaching three (3) forms that are needed in order for the State of Washington to process grant payments for your organization for the purposes of carrying out the activities outlined in your final approved application.
I enter values into a table with 2 decimal places.
I have a query that applies percents to the values - I have set the results to have 2 decimal places.
I have another query that summarises data from the previous query, however the results I get are not right, the decimals differ from the actual result, if I make a sum of the values by hand.
It seems as if the query I have made to apply percents only DISPLAYS data with 2 decimals instead of actually rounding it, so that the other query summarises data with more than 2 decimals, and thats where the difference int the end result comes from. I don't know how to fix this however.
I run a MakeTable Query on some data to COunt the number of records and Sum the Value of $$$ in a Currency field.The results produce a Number for the Count, but the SUM of the Balances is returned as text.
To get the SUM I use the expression SumBal: DSum("[Balance]","[XAM_data]").
Why it won't return the SumBal in Currency format?
I have a standard form with header, detail, and footer sections. The detail section has a range of calculated boxes and the footer section also has a range of calculated control boxes.
There is a button on the form, which runs the following code: DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputForm, "Divisions", acFormatXLS, "C: ester.xls", False
This works as far as exporting the Detail section of data. However, as soon as it trys to export the footer section, it just appends them onto the end of the rows. For example, the report lists: ABCD 10 20 DEFG 20 30 Totals 30 50
The excel spreadsheet after export lists Controlbox name Controlbox name Controlbox name cbn cbn ABCD 10 20 30 50 DEFG 20 30 30 50
Is there a way to: (a) correct this in the export; (b) format the spreadsheet; (c) alternative, e.g. drag the data in from a sppreadsheet ?
I'm creating a query with VBA, then exporting it to Excel. I have a couple calculated date fields that are exporting in the format of dd-mmm-yy, but I want them in the mm/dd/yyyy format. In the query, they're in the proper format, but not in the export. I tried using Format([DateField],"mm/dd/yyyy"), but then they left align in the export, but are fine in the query.
I currently have a query pulling data from a database - I need to now export the data to a text file to import it into a different database. I need the format to be like below. Wondering how I can tell the query to go to the second line and then the third line like below.
I have a CSV file and want to convert it in a text format with some filtered data and with some formatting. This is an everyday task for me. So I made a table and imported the data in to it by the command :
Actually I have a column "SERIES", contains various series like "EQ", "BE", "DR", "BZ", "D1" and so on. And one more column with the dates having 4 / 5 current months dates and one next months date and one next to next month's date. And every date has got several thousand records.
now the issue is that : After importing these several thousand records, I want to export it but with a specific date and with a specific series.
The other thing is that, these dates change every month so if hard coded, the problem will occur the next month.
this code is working fine but when the month will change, the code won't work.
Can we have a date & series picker attached to this query, so it can export the records with the specified SERIES & DATE.
I tried putting a textbox on the form named TxtDate and in a Query ( Design mode ) under the date column, in criteria I have put [Forms]![Futures]![TxtDate] and after putting this line, the query becomes empty and no data is there.
I have an access table which has a key using letters (A,B,C,D...etc). Against each letter there is multiple rows against each letter. However for testing purposes I only need to get a single row against each key and I was wondering if there is a function I could use which would return only the first record of data for each key?
I've got a database of club members with names, addresses, contact info etc.
I need to send letters by post to those members that I don't have email addresses for. How to create a query to return a list of people whom I don't have email addresses for.
I know how to mail merge the info with the letter I've written in word, how to group people who's email address cell is empty.
I import data through different files into a table, the data comes in different formats. I have a problem sometimes some records have double quotation marks and carriage returns. I know how to replace them as
Carriage Returns
Replace([FieldName],Chr(13) & Chr(10),""
Double Quotation Marks
Replace([FieldName],Chr(34),""
But if i want to use an iif statement because in the field there could be a Double Quotation Mark or Carriage return then it does not find the record
iif([FieldName] like Chr(34),Replace([FieldName],Chr(34),"",[FieldName])
I am trying to create a Totals Query which returns a data set between two dates. So far I have managed to select the data I want (Please see attached screenshot). However, I only want to select records between a date range working on my field [DueDate]. If I add the due date field to the current query then it removes the grouping and all records are displayed.
I was just wondering if this is a possibility to do in one query or if it has to be run from a number of different queries.
I am currently developing a database from scratch for work (with very little Access experience).
The current query I am trying to run, if linked to a number of tables with different information.
What I am trying to do primarily is link stock to a specific "Host Name", "Serial Number" and "Part Description".
In the "Host Name" there is for example - A1-TX10-10001, B1-TX2-10004, C1-TX-10004 - The latter part of the name is a unique identifier number. The first part is the compartment in which the "stock" sits. So you may have all three components (A1-TX1, B1-TX2, C1-TX3) linked to the same unique identifier (10001 for example)
The serial numbers naturally are different for every single one and of course the srial numbers are linked to the "Part Description" - which will read something like....."C1-TX3 Transmitter", "B1-TX2 Combiner" etc.....
When I run the query like this the Host Name (which is also linked to the unique identifier on its own (10001) it returns everything under "A1-TX1-10001"
What I would ideally like to do is write a statement so that if the "Part Description" contains "A1-TX1" it will only return rows that contain "A1-TX1" in the Host Name and the same for "B1-TX2" and "C1-TX3" in the same query.
If "Host Name" contains "A1-TX1" to return "Part Description" to contain "A1-TX1"
I have a centralised database that imports data from several other databases at the click of a button to produce a "global" query of data.
This is presented as a datasheet form which I am then able to filter. This is a subform to my main form.
I have a button on my Main form with a macro to ExportWithFormatting to excel. I was under the impression that exportwithformatting exported the filtered data.
How to export my filtered query data to Excel and not the whole query data?
[Forms]![FormName]![Field] or [Forms]![FormName]![Field] Is Null
Ordinarily this works fine in returning either the selected value or all values if left null.
I need to pull in data from a Crosstab query, which means setting my parameter labels to [Forms]![FormName]![Field].
The problem is that setting the parameter labels is conflicting with pulling all records if the form dropdown is left null.
If I keep my parameters simple and just say [Forms]![FormName]![Field] then the query works with the crosstab data, but I can't do that. I need to show any records if the dropdown is left null.
The crosstab data isn't specifically the problem but needing to set the parameter names seems to be
I think I may have found a workaround by labeling the column headings in the crosstab, which means I don't have to assign parameter labels
It would still be good to know if there's a way of making it work with the parameter labels but this will do for now...
I have a table with duplicate records (which is ok) and I want to return distinct data for each client.
It works fine when there is only two fields returned however, when I add a third field to the query it no longer returns only the Distinct records - I am getting Duplicates returned.
I.E
SELECT DISTINCT tblClient.ClientNo, tblClient.Name FROM tblClient
Works fine with only the Distinct records for each client returned
However
SELECT DISTINCT tblClient.ClientNo, tblClient.Name, tblClient.Address, tblClient.OrderValue FROM tblClient
Now returns Duplicates!
Is there a limit to the number of fields to be returned using DISTINCT or what else could be the problem? Should I be doing this some other way?
Hi, I use the built in tools "Analyze data with excel to export" to export data from froms to excel and it works fine. The only problem is in the form and table I had specified 3 decimals but in excel the data is two decimals and I have to always reformat the cells manually to 3 decimals.
Any way to have this set when exporting even if I have to use VBA code.
