I am trying to create a query listing company names in mdb. But i want to disregard the leading "the" when i view the results.
ie. "The Access Company" would be shown as "Access Company"
Do anyone know how??
Thanks
Kate
So the field shows the account number as 00000000234342001.
I need it to display in the query as 234342-001.
In design view I am using Account Number: VAL([MST1_CAV_MBRDETL.ACCTNUM]) to remove the leading zeros.
But I am unsure about the rest.
In addition to this answer, how to manipulate strings and numbers to do this kind of thing? Like pull the first 3 characters and so on.
I got a field in my client table which stores their phone numbers, ive selected number for data type but it removes the leading zeros.
How do i ensure the full number which has been entered remains?
Hi all,
I have a column in my DB that is actually for NASCAR car numbers. Some of which use leading zero's and some don't. i.e. There is a 01 car, a 1 car, but also an 8, and a 08, etc. If I use the Number data type, I lose the leading zero's, but it can be sorted by car number easily. If I use text, it displays the number properly, but the sorting is "ICK." Is there a way to get the best of both worlds?
Thanks,
Hey guys, I'm new, and I am sure this has been asked 10000 times before. I have tried finding the answer, but cannot.
Anyway...
I have an item number field [Serial_Number] that is pulling its information from a company database table. All item numbers should be 6 digits. For example:
1764 should be 001764
98 should be 000098
01888 should be 001888
Make sense?
I cannot make changes to the table, so really I just need to format Access' output to have the leading O's. I tried an append query, but that did not work because I do not have access to change anything (I could have not done it right).
It seems like this should be a simple answer.
Thank you!
Scott
I will try to explain what I have, but for a little more information please see the thread where I was trying to get a single instance of this query to run: http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=146582
This above thread was to allow users to select a valid month from a "quota" table of data to compile work data for that particular month. The way this all works is I delete a history table, append the data from my work table, and then add the data from a quota table. Each time a user runs this report, those three queries run dependant on the month selected. At the bottom of this report I sum up the columns to give an overall total for production numbers. The table is set up as:
For MMM YY (selected)
Item........Repaired......Quota
widget1........1...............3
widget2........2...............0
widget3........6...............4
widget4........2...............2
Now what I need to be able to do is to retrieve all these totals at once; so that the numbers can be graphed by month. This history table that is built is not perminantly stored; since all the 'data' for it is contained throughout a couple other tables. I didn't see a reason to need to store 'all' that data again since it could be retrieved as needed.
Is it possible to write a query that will run this process for all distinct dates in the quota table and sum the data for repairs and quotas? Something like this:
Date.........Repairs........Quota
MMM YY.......18..............8
MMM YY.......27..............10
MMM YY.......16..............18
Or have I bitten off more than I can chew :)
Hi
I've tried searching the forum but cannot find anything relevant.
My problem is I have a combo box in an access form which displays dates from a table. The table field and the combo box format is set to short date. When the value changes the data on the form body changes relevant to the selected date. This works fine except when the date has a leading zero (e.g. 06/03/2006) in which case no data is displayed. I have a variable of type date which takes the value of the combo box and then an sql statement which uses this variable. I have used breakpoints and foudn that the variable has a value of (e.g.) 06/03/2006 and this is how the date is stored in my table. I'm wondering if I'll need to do something with totext, turn the date into a string and make sure it has the leading zero?
Do you know if this is a known problem with access/access forms? If anyone can point me in the right direction as to why the code has a problem with leading zeros I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
My code is:
Private Sub cboDate_Change()
Dim datTemp As Date
datTemp = cboDate.Value
''cboDate.SetFocus
Form.SetFocus
Form.RecordSource = "SELECT [staff].[staff_id], [staff].[lastname], [staff].[forename], [staff].[bocs_name], [staff].[headset], [staff].[phone_uic], [staff].[bocs_uic], [staff].[group], [staff].[type], [staff].[email], shifts.* FROM staff LEFT JOIN shifts ON [staff].[staff_id]=[shifts].[staff_id] WHERE [staff].[type] <> 'Leaders' AND (((shifts.date) Is Null Or (shifts.date)= #" & datTemp & "#))"
End Sub
I have a text field as 6 bytes but my vendor requires this field to be as shown in the example (sequential). Is their an easy to do this in the table?
000001
000002
000010
000011
thanks
This is probably an easy question by comparison to some of these others.
I have a table where a transaction number is always 8 digits. If the number is not 8 digits, it should start with zeros, such as
12345 should be 00012345
123456 should be 0123456
Is there a simple and fast way to do this? It can also be done in a form, since I enter the data through there. Will it be necessary to change the field from a number to a text data type?
Hi
I have a table called "Amount" that has the amounts as follows: 45.40, 35.60 etc.
I need to add 5 zeroes to the start of each individual amount so this can be imported into another system (E.g 0000045.40, 0000035.60 etc).
Can anyone please help with how to do this?
I currently have the format as Currency and it is exporting the £ symbol when I am choosing to export as a fixed width txt file. When I change the format to number, it is rounding the values up/down which I do not want it to do!
Thanks for any advice.

I need to take 255.14 and make it a 7 character text field with leading zero's. I can't get the conversion to text right. It still recognizes the decimals and removes teh leading zeros. 255.14 to 0000255
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am formatting a table to be exported via fixed width and one of the main frame requirments is to have the dollar amount with leading zeros. So if a dollar amount is 500.02, I would need to update the tables dollar amount to 00000000000050002. Since the dollar amount will change, I will only need the leading zeros for the blank spaces because the field is right justified (for the mainframe).
Hopefully I am making sense.
Thanks for your help.
I have a table and one of the entries requires a 10 digit number. I have added "0000000000" as the format, but in the form to populate the field if I only enter 6 digits it just adds leading zeros.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHi,
I want to put a value from a field in a table in the Title Bar.
So far i have done (Looking at 2 ways to create, 1 with module below or directly in the form, only just lloking at the module way so is not finished as i am waiting to get it to work directly first):
Module

Does work

So need to declare the SoftwareVersion field i guess??

Hello!
In my form I have the title of a CD which is under the name of 'CD_Title' which is taken from my CD's table and I was wondering how to show it up in a Label so when I flick through the albums the Label changes to the album that it is selected!
I need to know...please help me!
:(
For Access 2003 - is there a way to stack one word on top of another when you rename a column? So, instead of having two words side by side for a column title, is there a way to put one on top of the other?
For example - change from this "today's date" to "today's
date"
Thanks
This should hopefully be an easy one for somebody:
How can I not display the title of any opened form at the very top of the screen. I would prefer to have the switchboard title remaining visible instead of the form title.
For example I have a form called 'frmPC' so the top of the screen shows 'frmPC : Form' when the form is open.
Anyone?
Much appreciated,
Paul
i have a form, and i would like that on one of the fields, as soon as i type something in it when i leave the field, i want it to automatically convert it to title case. can this be done please?
Cheers
I know that you can change the title of your application in the startup options in Access.
But can it also be done by vba code at runtime?

I am using the format below to give me Year-WkNo and the leading zeros are not being put in so when a report is ran the yyyy-ww is not sorted correctly. Is there a way to get Jan 2007 week 1 to come out 2007-01?
YearMonth: Format([F Jobs Stats_sub2].[MaxofWork_Date],"yyyy-ww")
Thanks,

I have a query where I am geting the last 4 digits from an id. However my query when it returns the results misses out the leading zero from the results. For instance if I had an id of 12340567 the query should return 0567 but instead it returns 567. This is what I am using:Max(Right([Employee]!
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am having the table in access database which contains customers name with and without leading spaces and the spaces after customer name.
How to find out Leading spaces and spaces after customer name in access Database.
I have been working in Access 2007 creating a database. For the most part I've been able to figure everything out but I have a field where I'm putting a three digit code. It has an input mask, that is set as a text file, and is "000". I thought that would force all three numbers to show even if there was a zero in front.
However, the leading zeros are being removed and I can't figure out how to make them stay so that I can see them.
I am using following statement current_date = Format(current_date, "m/dd/yyyy")
My goal is to format any dates like 9/1/2014 into 9/01/2014. But this is not working.
Is there a way to format date 9/1/2014 into 9/01/2014? In this case, current_date is a variable of type DATE.
I have an *.mdb file with a bunch of tables, queries, forms, macro's etc. The file is named "xxx" but the display in the top left hand corner of the access window (next to the red key) is "yyy". I've looked everywhere and can't seem to find where this information is stored - as I need to change the "yyy" to match the filename "xxx" (the *.mdb was originally used for something else). Anyone know where this info is stored or how to change it?
Thanks in advance to those who respond!
