A report field data is sourced from a query which displays its values as a string eg "George Renee", however in the reports it displays data as a number eg 42. It is true that the query field obtains its data from a table which gets its data through lookup Wizard. I really want the report to display string type.
View RepliesI have a table of timecards each recording minutes spent on each task for each client and I have summed those minutes by client in a query.I have then in the same query converted each sum of minutes to hrs:mins format using this calculated field:
HrsMins: [SumOfMinTime]60 & Format([SumOfMinTime] Mod 60,":00")
So this turns e.g. 261 minutes into 4:21..Based on that query I have a report showing total hrs:mins spent on each client, e.g.
Smith 4:21
Jones 5:32
James 1:23
Now I want to show a total at the bottom, i.e. in the above example it would be 11:16.So for the control source for a total field on the report I tried:
=Sum([HrsMins])
But when I do that I get an error message: "Data type mismatch in critieria expression"I may be because I am trying to sum calculated fields amounts that are calculated using a function.Or it may be that the format is not being recognised as hours and minutes and thus cannot be added up.way in which I could get a total here in hours and minutes format (hrs:mins).
I have a calculated field in a report, which is as follows:
=IIf(IsNull([POI_E1A]),(([TodaysDate]-[EADDate])/365)/3,[A1]+[T2]+[A3]+[T4]+[A5]+[T6]+[A7]+[A8])
The calculation works fine; however, I only want to show the whole number (not rounded up; not rounded down). In other words, if the result is 0.9967, then I want 0 to appear.
I cannot figure out how to make this happen. In the properties section I ensured the format was "general number" with 0 decimal places but this didn't change the result. I tried changing the format in the calculated field, again, I wasn't successful.
I have a short date field 5/20/2014
I would like to set up a conditional format to format those fields in the current month. For example, this month is would format all fields with "5".
Next month all fields with "6"
In the month space.
I can't seem to figure out the expression, I know I'm close.
I wanted to assign the field "Number of magazine" with special format based on date/time format but showing only year and month in the format: "yyyy-mm".
So in property of this field in format I put yyyy-mm and in input mask I type 0000-00;;-
I also created the form based on the table containing above field and I defined format and input mask for corresponding formant in the same way like at the table.
But if I try to type date for example 2014-01 in text box of the form it comes up with the full date 2014-01-01. Why does it do like this? What do I do incorrectly?
I've got a word mail merge document that is formatted exactly how I want it. I'm using an Access 2003 database to populate the word 2003 mail merge document.What I would like is to use a access report rather than a mail merge but correctly formatting everything is going to take me forever.
Is there any way I can use the word document I already have to enforce the formatting or must I spend hours positioning each line of text by eye and guessing where on my report it must go to match the word doc?
Is it perhaps possible to "copy" the format of an entire report and "dump" it on another? I have ample of forms and reports and I know how to use the Format Painter - but I need to alter the format of all the other physical reports.
View 5 Replies View RelatedOk, I know you guys have heard about this problem quiet a few times, my search told me that. But my problem has a bit of a twist. The message appeared when I tried to open the database yesterday, so I went to the backups and tried to open them. All the backups for the past month give the same message. The problem is with the FE only, the BE is working fine. The backups are connected to the same workgroup as the FE and BE. Has anyone seen this before and know what might of happened?
View 8 Replies View RelatedEver since I switched from using a Mapped Drive to using the UNC path for my linked tables, i occassionally get Unexpected Error (40230).
I noticed this first when i manually re-linked using the link table manager, it linked the tables, then gave me this error several times, likely reflecting the number of tables i linked, but the links refreshed.
I then noticed this error when i used the acCmdZoom method on a textbox control on a continuous form. It opened the zoom, then gave me the same error several times, likely reflecting the number of records on the form, (i just hit the esc key to scroll through all the errors quickly.)
Any thoughts would be much appreciated,
*** UPDATE, Ok, I just did a Linked Table Manager again, got the error 112 times (or so), which is nowhere near the number of tables linked. After the error occurs once, and you perform that operation again, the error does not happen. Same thing when zooming, the error occurs sever dozens of times, but when i perform the zoom again, it does not repeat the error.

Why does my sub form which is contained in a Tab, not display unless a certain field is populated with something? It's not a required field. Infact it is one of two identical fields... a relationship and a lookup to another table. It doesn't matter if the second one if filled in or not. Just this one. The record is in the database, I choose from a drop down in the header... and the subform then requeries and displays the information. However, unless this 1 field is filled in.. the subform remains blank. It is getting on my nerves!!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have the following tables, tblAudit and tblCriteria. The first records companies and period of audit, the second contains the criteria against which they will be audited. The audit period determines which criteria apply.
Results are recorded in a third table, tblAuditResults.
Relationships
tblAudit 1:M tblAuditResults M:1 tblCriteria
My problem is when I try to add a new result by selecting a criteria via a combo box a new row is inserted in the criteria table as well as in the result table. Inserting a row in the criteria table is wrong.
I have attached the database for you to look at.
Thanks for any advice you can offer.

I am getting this error message:
"Unexpected Error from External Database Driver" when I try to import some .dbf files into Access. I just did some quick research, and it was suggested that I remove or rename the borland driver. Not sure how I feel about attempting that, plus, where do I get a new borland driver once the old is removed/renamed.
I've got a query pulling data from a view I created that gives all the data I need. The query gets it's criteria from a form with 10 combo boxes, a radio box with 3 options and 2 date fields for the timeframe to run the report in.
The issue:
over half the columns of data that the radio buttons can limit results by have null values but only two of the columns are excluding records where the values in them are null. As any combination of the combo boxes are null I'm using the following format for my criteria per column
IIf(IsNull([Forms]![Margin Dialog]![InstallerOption]),[Installer_from_Web],[Forms]![Margin Dialog]![InstallerOption])
That is an example of a column that works, the following is a column that is excluding null values no matter what I do
IIf(IsNull([Forms]![Margin Dialog]![AOIOption]),[ProductType],[Forms]![Margin Dialog]![AOIOption])
I am not seeing the error and could use some thoughts.
i have a table with 3740 records in it
i do a query and outer join this table with a query and it produces LESS records = 3733
:confused:
now i always assumed (never assume it makes an "ass" out "u" and "me" !) that the records would be the same as the table you were joining from, obviously i've assumed wrongly, but why?
the query i'm using as my lookup query is grouped and i think that is causing me problems...if i turn it into a table, it works as expected
:confused:
and i check the obvious: no filters or SELECT DISTINCT...
any suggestions/explanations welcome
I have an entry Form which is used to record prospective new members of a society in a Table named 'Foreigners' in a Membership Database using Access 2010. The entry form also records the name of the 'Interest Group' to which the prospective member is initially affiliated.
On entering this Group Name, selected from a drop down list from the Groups Table, The Group ID & Leader Member ID are automatically recorded.
However, I don't wish to record the Leader Member ID, what I wish to record is the Leader's Member Name which is identified by that ID in the related 'Mail List' Table.
In the Properties sheet the relevant source for this field is shown as Leader, but what is displayed is the Leader ID...
I have a website which uses a series oif ASP/VBscript scripts to access and update an Access database. It has run for years on a shared commercial service.I also have a replica of the wesbite on my home pc for development and testing running under XP Pro and IIS. All works fine.
Recently I have had to switch my home setup to my laptop (also XP Pro and IIS). The scripts all appear to work ok except when I try to UPDATE certain tables.
Some give "Syntax error in UPDATE statement."
Some give "Data type mismatch in criteria expression."
Some work without error
Yet the identical script and table on the main site and my home PC work fine and have done for years.

I have a report bound to a query that includes zip codes as a field. Zip codes are formatted in the table as 99999-9999 and display in this format when the query is run. However, when I place that field in the report text box as
=[ContactCity] & ", " & [StateAbbreviation] & " " & [ContactZip]
or even as [ContactZip]
The zip is not formatted.
I have a report with a list of employee names (and other information). A handful of them need to be a different color (other than default). There will always be more than 3, so I can't use the conditional formatting tool.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have Access 2010. If I run this query
Code:
SELECT Reference,
InStr(1,FunctionThatReturnsLongString(), ResponsiblePerson) As MyField
FROM MyTable
WHERE
(Reference ='ShouldBeOut'
OR
Reference = 'ShouldBeIn1'
OR
Reference = 'ShouldBeIn2')
It returns 3 rows, with values in MyField of 0, 23 and 355.
Now I add 1 more where clause to filter on MyField and the query looks like this:
Code:
SELECT Reference,
InStr(1,FunctionThatReturnsLongString(), ResponsiblePerson) As MyField
FROM MyTable
WHERE
(Reference ='ShouldBeOut'
OR
Reference = 'ShouldBeIn1'
OR
Reference = 'ShouldBeIn2')
AND
(
InStr(1,FunctionThatReturnsLongString(), ResponsiblePerson) > 0
)
So, you would think that it should return 2 values (ShouldBeIn1 and 2), but it doesn't. It only return the value where the Instr returns value of 23. The one with the value of 355 also disappears. Why would that be? Surely Instr does not return a byte?
I need to e-mail weekly reports to several parties, but both Word and Excel are not working for me because I am losing the original formatting.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have browsed a few forums and am still having trouble creating a pie chart that has the proper layout that I would prefer.
I have created a query that will list the data I would like to organize into a pie chart. The query, when run, will prompt the user for a start date and an end date and then display the data in this form:
EmployeeX | SumofProject hours | SumofDemo Hours | SumofAdministration hours | SumofEtc hours (5 other categories of hours)
EmployeeY | SumofProject hours | SumofDemo Hours | SumofAdministration hours | SumofEtc hours (5 other categories of hours)
OK, now that I have the data in this format I would like to create a report that includes tabs for each employee, each tab will have a pie chart that has one employee and a pie chart showing how their hours are allocated to each task. e.g. tab 1 would have Employee X and the pie chart would show what percentage of this employee's hours was dedicated to project/demo/admin/etc...
How do I format:
First 25% of records - Gold
Second 25% of records - Green
Third 25% of records - Yellow
Fourth 25% of records - Red
The first part of the request is to capitalise all the below fields, when they appear on my report in addition to removing any <null> values. I can't seem to get them both in the format area
my fields are
Title
Fname
Sname
Address1
Address2
Address3

We are trying to export some reports into a Rich Text format using Access on Office 2003 on a Win XP op system. When doing this on Win 98 the Rich text document was slightly out of line but not too bad. Now we are doing it on XP it is completely out of line and unusable. Does anyone have any suggestions please?

When you create a column chart and then change one of the series to a line, how can you then apply formatting to that line? I've attached a stripped down database showing what I'm trying to do. Series 1 shows individual monthly values (percentages) and series 2 shows the target which is 80% for each month.
The problem is that although I can apply formatting to the column series, I can't see any way of selecting the line series so I can set the formatting I want. I'm using Access 2003, on Win XP Professional, in case that's important.
