Is there a simple way to reorder the columns in Access? For instance, in the image below I would like to move the column "Owner_Address" from the right side, to the left side of the table after the "ID" column.
View RepliesHi. I have a table and I would like to reorder the last name column alphabeticaly (all my forms come up in the order they are listed in the table). How can I do this and not mess up any of my relationships, or anything else for that matter. Many thanks, Tim

Please Help Many Thanks.

Hello all,
I have a datasheet with a list of names stored in a cell, separated by semi-colons. I want to separate that list into separate columns. In Excel, I would use Data/Text to Columns. Is there some sort of Query something that would do that for me in Access?
Please advise!

Hi Guys,
I was wondering you you could do a text to columns in access like you could in excel? For example, if my field has this:
AAA-BBB-CCC-DDD
Is there a way i can split it up by the "-" and have 4 columns or fields, broken out from the main field:
Column1 Column2 Column3 Column4
AAA BBB CCC DDD
As always, thaks in advance.

Hi guys,
Wondering if this can be done in access. In excel, if I have the following data on a filed:
AAA-BBB-CCCC-DDDD
I can use the text to column feature and break it into 4 fields with the hyphen as the break. SO the 4 fields in excel would be:
Field1: AAAA
Field2: BBBB
Field3: CCCC
Field4: DDDD
Can access do this? I know I can combine fields, but can it break down a field?
Thanks in advance all,
Caliboi
How to AUTOFIT columns in Access (2013)....
View 3 Replies View RelatedI really never use Access but a client gave me a database with a couple thousand records in it. Two columns were "Area Code" and "Home Number". What I have to do is merge those two so that the area code and number appear in a single column. How do I do this?

This is what is currently coded, but does not work. Something tells me that the code should be Create instead of Alter, but not sure what the correct terms would be. I need the code to automatically create this column called PCName with the listed properties in the table called member. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
re.Open "Alter Table in member Add Column " & PCName & " varchar(50) default None",conn2
sql = "Update member Set " & PCName & " = 'None'"

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to increase the number of columns in Access 10?I upgraded MS Office because I knew Excel no longer restricted you to 256 columns.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAccess 2007 has hung up while I scrolled from left to right through the columns in a linked ODBC table in datasheet view. I understand why it "hangs" while scrolling through rows, but I've never heard of it doing this for columns and I am talking about a complete freeze up here.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a table in Access with 184,000 rows or records of data and 20 columns or field names. When looking at the table ten of the columns represent the identifying information for the data stored in the other ten columns. I need to convert the last ten columns of data into one column with a second column added to identify the original field name. Then end result would be one current record of data being converted into ten records with the original 10 columns of identifying data, a new column containing the original field name and a column for the data value from the original column identified in the new column.
I have been able to do this in Excel using a consolidation pivot table, un-checking the rows and columns then clicking on the final sum value to get a detailed list of the records. Unfortunately there still appears to be a cap because I get a message saying some of the data has been dropped after a little over a million rows.
I am using the 2010 version of Access and Excel.This is the smaller table. I have several others that have up to 200 columns that need to be converted the same way.
I was able to use the UNION ALL qry. But, when I have another file (like original2) that does NOT have all the columns listed in the UNION ALL qry, I get a Parameter value box asking for the missing columns when I run the qry.
Example:
original1IDDateGroupChristianJohnnySteve 18/5/2013A1528/5/2013B338/5/2013C2348/5/2013D2358/5/2013E5
original 2IDDateGroupChristianJohnny18/6/2013A212528/6/2013B2338/6/2013C2248/6/2013D22
The UNION ALL qry includes all the possible resources ( includes all the possible column fields Christan, Johnny, and Steve).
When I run the UNION ALL qry with the original2 file, An "Enter Parameter Value" box is displayed with the mssing column name "Steve".
Is there a way to Map the original2 table into a working table with all the columns, or use VBA code to construct the UNION ALL qry to only include the existing columns? My data has variable columns and I'm trying to avoid the parameter popups.
Help anyone

I don't think Access has any functions for this but I am not 100% sure. I know this can be done in a Module but I am not sure of how to code it.
I have these:
Table xx
+-----------------------------------+
ID A B C D
1
2
3
4
5
+------------------------------------+
How I can Append or Update?? to this fields A, B, C, D in my Tablexx. and mach the ID from Excel to access..
I have an imported table and within this table contains a column that needs to be further delimited. I've read that it is possible to delimit columns using the left, right and mid functions, however, I need to delimit it to more than 3 columns. Maybe an estimated 6.
Examples of the data contained in the column are as follow:
ITM~W01GGASPAPP1B:W6400~12.34.56.78~~W01GGASPAPP1B ~W01GGASPAPP1B~ACK~
ITM~a01gibapp3a:AC900~12.34.56.78~~a01gibapp3a~a01 gibapp3a~ACK~
TEC~~01.234.567.89~~~~ACK~
I need to delimit it by "~". It must also be similar to Excel's text-to-column feature whereby if there're no values between 2 "~", it will be recorded as null.
The main thing I require from each record in the column is contained within the first and second "~" (even if it's null).
I made a new column in a table in access. The table is not linked and linking unfortunately is not an option. In the new column, I want to create a sum for 5 years of funding. There are multiple columns for a different fiscal year.
In excel, it is simply =sum(range), but I am drawing completely blank how to fill in the column with the sum data.
The end result is the data from 4 tables will be displayed in Forms and Reports.
Essentially what I need is an ability to bulk update a column in access table without a need to reupload the entire datasheet (over 100k rows with about 30 columns).
I was using Excel.We do transportation, I have two columns Which means 2 Records One is from address a to address b.And another from address b to address a it's not always like that The return can be to anywhere I want to make one table called 'locations'.I can set the relationships to both fields using that table or so I think But what about the last five years worth of data I can't seem to split my data correctly.

I have to submit a file to a government agency that requires more than 200 columns. Is there a number of column limit an Access table can have?
View 1 Replies View RelatedThere is an issue that I cannot resolve in MS Access:
I have a large files with multiple columns that has 2 columns that randomly contain duplicated data.
I would like to filter out the duplicated entries in these 2 columns without spoiling the data integrity - and so the duplicates appear on the same row.
I think what I want it pretty much like conditional formatting in excel, but unfortunately the file size is really large to be filtered in excel.

Im working in Access 2007.
So i have query based on 1 table that populates a Form. The primary key for that table is Entity ID. Therefore once the query has been run I have multiple records that i can scroll through in my form distiguished by their Entity ID.
I have a second table that has a Entity ID column, AFE Available column, and many others. The primary key for this table is called Match ID. This table contains records that have the same Entity ID.
My goal is to display on the form the Sum of the "AFE Availible" for each Entity ID. so as you scroll through the records the Entity ID is changing and you are able to see a the Specific "AFE Availible" Sum related to the current Record showing on the form.
I couldn't figure out a way to have a query based off both tables where the records are only uniquely defined by the Entity ID in Budget Info. What was happening is the query was displaying all the records that had the same Entity ID because of the AFE Spent table. That way when you scroll through the records the form shoes records with the same entity id.
Maybe im doing it all wrong and you dont need the tables attached to the same query. That would make it easier i think. So you would have two queries populating different text boxes on a form. Is that even possible?
In Windows 8, when we try to use the filter option in Microsoft Access 2010 using the keyboard option (arrow keys), the application stops responding.
The error occurs only if the rows are more than 300. However, using the mouse pointer works fine to filter content.
This error doesn't occur in Windows XP for the same Access database and for same version of access.
We have also tested using windows 8.1 with access 2010.Same error occurs even for windows 8 pro with access 2010.
The error is shown in the screenshot below.
