Setting Field To Null

Jan 28, 2013

I have a form to enter attendance in that pulls students from a StudentEnrollmentTable based on FacultyName which is selected from a combobox that runs the following code:

Private Sub cboInstructorName_Click()
Me.Requery
End Sub

A query (StudentAttendanceBYFaculty) is run each time a faculty name is selected. On the form their is a field name TempClassesAttended which is bound to a field of the same name in the StudentEnrollmentTable. Teachers will enter attendance data and run an append query to append the current form records to the StudentAttendanceTable. Each time the form is repopulated the most recent TempClassesAttended values are pulled into the form. This is what is expected.

Now I want to load Null values into the TempAttendance field on the form each time the Faculty selects their name and runs the event. I looked at code online and it seems easy enough, but I don't know enough to make it work. This is the code suggested:

UPDATE TableName SET FieldName = Null
OR
UPDATE MyTable
SET MyField = Null

how to include this into the current event so that the event will return the faculty records with Null values in the TempAttendence field.

Tables :: Setting Primary Keys To More Than One Field In Table / But They Cannot Have Null Values

Nov 30, 2012

Access 2010..One organization that we work with provides us with a block of numbers for each of the two types of contract products we order from them; we do order non-contract stuff from them also.The block of numbers are the same (i.e. 20000 to 30000 this year) for each of the two products. This means that each product can have the number 20000, for example. We call this the Tracking Number. If it is one of these products, we need to select the Contract Number.

For all other one off orders we have with them, we assign our own Tracking Number starting with 00001. This Tracking Number cannot duplicate unless it is one of the aforementioned two products.Both the Tracking Number and Contract Number are in the same table. The user selects the Contract Number from a form (connected to the Contract Number table that has all the details on the contract) and the Contract Number is populated in the same table that has the Tracking Number.Each order must have a Tracking Number (no null)..Not all orders need a Contract Number (null okay).The Tracking Number and Contract Number combination cannot duplicate.I tried setting the primary keys to more than one field in the table, but they cannot have null values.

If not... I have been working on Plan B.... an AfterUpdate on the form (either the form or a field... don't know yet) that looks at a query that only has results if there are duplicate values.

Modules & VBA :: Setting Variable To Null When It Has A Value?

Jan 21, 2015

I have the following simple variable assignment...

Dim PolRef As String
Let PolRef = Me.Policy_Ref_Num

But when I run my code I get "Invalid Use of Null" and PolRef is set to ""

This field is populated however, so I'm confused to why I cant set my variable to it.

If I don't use a variable and simply have let XXX = me.Me.Policy_Ref_Num then it still wont return the value from the field.

Field Criteria: Is Null; There Are Null Values In That Field; No Records Are Returned

Nov 16, 2007

I think the title pretty much sums it up....

I have a query where data is first sorted by user input; first field's criteria: [fieldname], then by another field's criteria: Is Null.

I know there are records containing null values in the second field, as I have run a select query with the criteria: Like "*", to make sure they are null, and not zero-length-strings.

The query is refusing to return any results...

Any ideas?

Queries :: Checking Query For Null And Setting Operations

May 30, 2014

I have been working on an application where I am collecting survey data in a database. There are multiple survey tools available to the user, and it's possible to complete multiple survey tools in the survey.My problem is, it's possible for the surveyor to complete some tools on one day and other tools on another day. I am having problems with trying to figure out how to add a tool that has not been previously added and keep in the same survey which is all held under a single Survey Number.

The first step in the function is to set a Record Number temporary variable based on whether or not the tool has been used (it's possible to use multiple instances of a survey tool, so need to know if the Record Number is '1', or the next number in the sequence.I've been trying to do this by checking a query for a Null and setting the temporary variable using something like:

IF ISNull("RecordNumber","qryRecordHeader") Then '1'
Else
DLast("RecordNumber","qryRecordHeader") +1
End IF

The second half works just fine, so if there is a previous record, it will add. But if it's Null, it doesn't work.I'm trying to avoid opening a temporary form to run the query and checking a field. Is there a way around that?

I have a numeric field (long integer) in a table. I've set the format to fixed. No matter what I set the decimal places to, auto, 0 or 2, when I enter a value of 0.71, it displays as 1.00

In my form, I've also set the field property to fixed, but it displays the value as 1.

Setting Field Value To Table Value

Apr 4, 2008

I have tblDefaults that has only one record, containing default values. Next I have tblWebpages that has a Memo field that holds my html data. Lastly I have a Form called frmCreate with a field called Webpage. This Form is based on a tblCreate table.

Whenever I click a command button on my Form, I want to populate the Webpage field on my frmCreate Form with a template from tblWebpages. The template to chose will be based upon the WhichTemplate field in tblDefaults.

In brief, tblDefaults tells me which is the current webpage template and so the field should be populated with that html data.

Phew!

Thanks,

Jon

Setting Up A Lookup Field.

Feb 15, 2006

Ok I'll premiss this by saying it has been many years since I have done much with access so I have forgotten alot and alot of things have changed. However I have been using Dataease alot but switched companies so am back to access.In dataease if I had a form called projects and that form had three fields (employee ID, employee first name, employee last initial) that pulled data from another table other than the projects table I would relate them via the employee ID. projects form employee ID = employee form employee IDthen for the two other fields I would have them lookup their data by using the employee id.projects form employee first name = if (projects employee ID = employee employee ID) then lookup employee employee first name. And the same for the last initial.The question is how do I setup for fields for first name and last initial to do the lookup in access.Employee ID TableEmployee ID #Employee First NameEmployee Last InitialProject TableEmployee ID (linked to employee id table)project idproject nameproject discriptionproject start dateproject end dateproject formproject idproject nameproject discriptionproject start dateproject end dateemployee ID (must match employee table employee id)employee first name (read only field that looks its data up from the employee table based on employee id)employee last initial (read only field that looks its data up from the employee table based on employee id)

Forms :: Setting A Value For A Field

Jun 25, 2013

I have two tables relating to People

PeopleType: ID and description (e.g. 1 student, 2 teacher, etc)
PeopleDetails: PeopleType.id, name, gender etc

I have a form that contains subforms

On the Main section of the form the data comes from the PeopleDetails. I want the user to fill in this but I want the PeopleType.id to be set to e.g. 2 so that you can only key in teacher details.

I have been trying to set it using a macro SetValue but i cannot get it to work.

Setting A Field Default Value Through Code

Dec 17, 2007

High all.

I would like to know how to set a fields default value on a table.

Eg - i have a Yes/No field that and i want the default value to be set to 'Yes'.

I cant use the front end application because the form its on is a generic form used by about 30 other tables.

At present it is not set to anything and so always defaults to 'No' on the form.

Thanks in advance.

Setting A Default To Equal Another Field

Oct 21, 2006

I have a membership database. A number of members go by their middle names or a nickname rather than their first name. I need to keep track of their real full names, but I want the new-record default of the preferred name field to equal the contents of the first name field. How do I set this in the table design? The table already has 1400 records, and it would be quite a job to manually copy each first name to the preferred name field, a job I would rather avoid.

Setting Text Field Properties

Nov 11, 2006

Hi All,

I have only been playing with MS Access for a little while and I do not know all there is to know yet so I figured I come here to ask a question.

I use MS Access in web design and lately I have been experiencing a problem with my registration form which inserts new users into an MS Access database table.

Lately my registration form has become a target for spammers trying to inject spam in the form of html code into the password field of the online registration form.

I figured that I could deter this from happening by only allowing the letters A - Z and numbers 0 - 9 in the field and not allowing characters like < > and ? and ".

I assume I can do this with a validation rule but I'm unsure as to how I would go about setting this up. Limiting the field size to only 50 characters does not seem to work unfortunately.

Any help on how to set up a validation rule would be appreciated.

Thanks
Mechaworx

Setting Field Widths In An Export

Aug 2, 2005

I have a query that I manually export as a dbf file (i.e. right-click and export). I manually export because I export to a unique directory each time. However, fields in the query that are of type string always get exported with a length of 255. Is there anyway in SQL that I can set the width a query's text field to a specific value (so that when I export it it isn't 255 characters long)?

I know its probably a simple one but I am new to access, so...

Queries :: Setting Temp Var As The Field

Aug 16, 2013

I have a table [Employees] which has the following Fields

- TxtEmpID
- StrEmpName
- StrEmpPassword

Which I use for my login table with the following script:

If Me.txtPassword.Value = DLookup("strEmpPassword", "tblEmployees", "[TxtEmpID]=" & Me.cboEmployee.Value) Then
TxtMyEmpID = Me.cboEmployee.Value

On my form the drop down to select the employee is

SELECT tblEmployees.[TxtEmpID], [tblEmployees].[strEmpName] FROM tblEmployees;

(Seemingly all this is based on the TxtEmpID)

When I create a Temporary Variable

[SetTempVar screen.activecontrol with the name SetUserID]

And then want to place the variable in a form or whatever else, I can only see the TxtEmpID. I would like to set the TempVar as the field StrEmpName.

Setting Up Calculated Field In A Report?

Jul 8, 2013

I am "OK" when it comes to figuring out a formula in Excel, but Access is much different for me. I am looking to set up a calculated field in a report.

The result is find the Client-to-Staff ratio but there are two possible conditions:

CONDITION 1: If VacantFTEE = 0
ActiveClients / (DirectFTEE + DetailedFTEE + ProvidedFTEE)

CONDITION 2: If VacantFTEE > 0
ActiveClients / (DirectFTEE + VacantFTEE + DetailedFTEE)

I am presuming I need some sort of IF/OR statement to make this as 1 formula, but I can't seem to make it work.

Leaving Field Null Based On Another Field

Oct 15, 2005

I have a downtime database that tracks units down, time on, reason down, etc. When a unit goes down, I log the name of the unit and the time down in separate fields. When a unit goes back on line, I log the time on and the reason in separate fields. All this is in a form. When the unit goes on line, I want the user to be forced to enter a reason only after he has entered a time on, not before. The “reason” field must be left blank until the unit is on. How do I do that? I have searched the forum for this and have not found leaving a field blank based on another field’s data. I will supply whatever you need to help me. Thank you.
