How can I calculate fieldA equal to fieldB for all text before "#"
e.g. I have a text field where the length of characters before the "#" varies. in general the field looks like this.. "abcde#zyxwv" Want to calculate that field to be equal to "abcde" since it precedes the #??
I searched this forum and was unsuccessful with InStr() and Left() functions. :confused:
Hi all,
I am having a problem getting my query to work properly. I have read through this query section but it just got me more confused. I know some have used IIF function but it didn't work for me.
here's my code:
SELECT tblEmployee.UserName, tblODF.ODFNumber, tblQueue.Queue, tblStatus.Status, tblODF.ODFScanDate
FROM tblStatus INNER JOIN (tblQueue INNER JOIN (tblEmployee INNER JOIN tblODF ON tblEmployee.EmployeeID = tblODF.EmployeeID) ON tblQueue.QueueID = tblODF.QueueID) ON tblStatus.StatusID = tblODF.StatusID
ORDER BY tblEmployee.UserName, tblStatus.Status, tblODF.ODFScanDate;
I want everything to show even if one of the fields is blank.
Thank you

Hi Guys,
You know how you get the form header/detail/footer sections on a form. Well, how can you make text appear down the side (ie so that it overlaps all of the header/detail/footer sections).
Take a look at my drawing, it will explain it better...
Produce a query that returns a yes or no (Y or N) field if other text field contains particular text (with wildcard on either side).
Idea is to have a column for each preset word.
I have used the following function to return the date of the previous Sunday in a text box when I open a form..
=Date()-Weekday(Date()-1)
In a different text box I would like return the pevious month based on the date in the text box.
For example the above function would return date 20/08/06. I would like to display JUL-06 in the second text box. Can anybody help?
Dear All:
Thank you for all you help with the above title. Your suggestions were all implemented.
Code:
Private Sub GPA_AfterUpdate()
If DIVISION = GRADUATE Then 'Honors field is empty
HONORS = ""
End If
If UNDERGRADUATE = True Then 'Apply appropriate honors
End If
If GPA < 3.2 Then
HONORS = ""
ElseIf GPA >= 3.2 And GPA < 3.5 Then
HONORS = "CUM LAUDE"
ElseIf GPA >= 3.5 And GPA < 3.8 Then
HONORS = "MAGNA CUM LAUDE"
ElseIf GPA >= 3.8 Then
HONORS = "SUMMA CUM LAUDE"
End If
End Sub
Here is the issue: Form created with with a combo box called "DIVISION."The choices of the combo box are "GRADUATE" AND "UNDERGRADUATE." There is a text box called "GPA", where a gpa is entered. then, there is an "Honors" field. When a gpa is entered, the honors box returns the appropriate message.
When graduate is selected from the combobox, the honors box should be empty. (That part does not work.) When undergraduate is selected from the combo box, it works.
Please help,
Dion
Hi guys and gals,
I have compiled a very simple database to track staff and training audit requirements for my company.
I am 57 thick as 2 short planks and need some help please.
I wish to ask a text box called "Score" to return a number 2 if a yes/No box is "NO" and a number "1" if the Yes/No box is "YES".
I have looked at the help sections of Access and thought maybe an "IIf" statment in the Validation Rule section of the "Score" box might do the trick.
However, i haven't got a clue as to what the coding should be written like.
Can anybody help me please.
Basically i want to say
"If YES/NO = NO then SCORE = 2 but If YES/NO = YES then SCORE = 1"
Told you i was thick
Dear Access Wizards:
I have created a form based on a query with students' gpa in the form. The gpa is in a specific field.
There is another field for honors with is for summa cum laude, magna cum laude, cum laude.
Here is the issue: If the students' gpa is 3.8, return "summa cum laude"
If the students' gpa is 3.5, return "magna cum laude"
if the students' gpa is 3.2, return "cum laude"
This applies to undergraduate students only, which there is a field for.
Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
Many thanks,
Dion
I have created a text field on a form that uses the DateSerial function to return the value of last month e.g. Jul-06.
I have a table that contains months (e.g. Jul-06, Jun-06 etc) and a corresponding numeric value (e.g. 1,2,3).
I have another text box on the same form that I want to display the numeric value in based on the value that has been returned by the DateSerialfunction. What properties/control source should I set for this field? Or do I need to write some VBA?
Any help would be appreciated.

Dear All:
I have a form with three items:a checkbox called "Check231", a textbox called "text921" and another textbox called "text762".
What I wish to do is: Enter text in textbox921, which stays the same as I scroll through each record. Then If checkbox check231 is checked, it displays text from textbox921 to textbox762. Textbox762 is bounded to the form.
Any ideas on how to get started?
Many thanks,

In my query, I have the week number and year arranged like this - "Y14-W11"
I want to return a value in a text box on a report if the string contains, for example, W11. In this textbox I've put the expression
Code:
=IIf([Y##-W##]="*" & "W11" & "*","2100000","BLAH")
But this just returns the falsepart no matter if the string contains W11 or not.

how to do to return a text for each row (as field value) when a table field contains "1" as value ?
for example i have a table named "products" with a field/column called "promotion". Sometime a product is promotional, so in this case, the "promo" column holds "1" as value.
during a select on products table, how can i do to return "in promotion" (e.g.) if the column "promo" holds "1" for a product ?
I am wanting to make a text box on a form, to return a number (amount of records returned by a query)basically so if the query returns 5 records, the text box on the form will show"5",

I have a report with some text boxes on it. Sometimes the text in these boxes can be a very long string of characters (maybe a path to some folder). In this case I do not want the text box to grow. I just want the report to show me the right-hand side of this path and cut off the left. How do I do this when still aligning my text to the left?
I have a simple UDF that takes a string and returns a variant, which is an array of strings Example Input "Brick Wall" Return value would be a variant array with first element "Brick" and and second element "Wall" Now I have a table with a field of strings, and I want to make a query that returns all the results from the function, one per line.
So if my input table looks like this
[strField]
"kick the ball"
"return the pass"
my query result should looks like this
[Orig] [new]
"kick the ball" "kick"
"kick the ball" "the"
"kick the ball" "ball"
"return the pass" "return"
"return the pass" "the"
"return the pass" "pass"
Last time I had to do something like this I used VBA exclusively, with ADO objects, but I thought a query based solution would be easier.
With my current data the largest return array size my function returns is 27 elements but I wouldn't want to rely on that number being fixed.
Hi:
Using MS Access 2000.
Maybe I've been looking at the monitor for too long but... I need to have a query return data based on a date field or return all dates greater than 1/1/2001 if left blank.
criteria: [Enter date - mm/dd] Or >#1/1/2001#
When I leave it blank it gives me all dates as it's supposed to but when I type a date it does not filter by that date, I still get everything.
I also tried [Enter date - mm/dd] Or Like "*" but it behaves the same way. I know it has got to be easy but my skull may be too thick to let me see it.
Any help is appreciated.
