I export a query as csv to upload to another database on a web site. When that csv file has been exported I'd like the query to be emptied, so that the next time I export I don't export duplicates. What's the easiest way to do that?
I've been thinking of having a field in the table with a check box that is checked when the file is exported. The query then selects only those records where that box is not checked.
But how can I check those boxes on Export rather than when I run the query? The reason being that I may want to preview by running the query, without having that affecting the check box.
Using DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet I'm exporting a table which has a couple of Yes/No fields formatted as Yes/No. However when I export, they appear as TRUE/FALSE? Am I doing something wrong?
I was reading how to make a a button open a webpage. I found out how to and what to type in the Visual Basics. It worked but like another user said, when ever he clicks the button, the window opens for the website but the window is not maximized. He said "I set the open new window value to True".
I have a report in Access that produces variable headers as the output is different from client to client. When exporting to PDF everything works great but when exporting to Excel these variable headers are exported with their true names. Col8, Col9, Col10 etc. And our clients insist on Excel reports. Is there a way to get the assigned name to export to Excel? Assigned names would be something like Medical, Dental, Vision or whatever is applicable to the client and is assigned to the report through VBA code. BTW, the data for the report is pulled from a cross-tab query so exporting directly from the query has its own set of formatting issues and is the reason I am using a report with variable column headers.
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.
I frequnetly need to export tables for others to use. I export them as .csv files usually and I'd like a way to include what I call metadata in the .csv file.
ideally, it would appear on the top of the file before the comma-delimited data actually starts.
I can't figure out how to include the table field descriptions in a file.
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.
how to set the Field Size in a new Table. I need the user to be able to type in 17 characters (as in a vehicle VIN). I don't want the user to have the ability to type in anything less than 17 characters or anything more than 17 characters.
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.
I have 3 queries that pull from 3 dfferent tables. All 3 tables contain a field called Acct but the other fields in the 3 tables are different. What I would like is to have a form field that the user can input an account number and depending on which query the account number is in, that query and result will display. I have been trying the dlookup function but can't seem to get the coding down. Also, if the account number is not in any query I would like a message box to display saying it can't be found. Thanks for any help!

I'm trying to limit the records on a subform via an option group selection. The group has 2 options: optionTrue (option value = 1) and optionFalse (optio value = 2). I have the following code in my query criteria of the true/false field.
IIf([Forms]![FrmHome]![frameProcessed]=1,-1,0)
The false part works, but the true part doesn't. I've tried many variations using true/false, using checkboxes, etc. and nothing works.
The database is SQL Server if that matters.
Any suggestions?
Also, is their a way to have an option for True or False or ALL?
I have a from which has a sub Form in it which uses a query of a table which is filtered, In the main form I want a sum of the data in the subform for a particular field if TRUE.
In the main form I have a text field with the Syntax =DSum("[Cost]","RepairInformation","[Labour] =.True."), but this returns an error, I have no issues for the total cost for with I have a Text Box in the subform which returns the Total cost in the main form.
What are my options to have a conditional sum for a particular condition.
In a form, the value of any field may determine if the other field will be true or false. For example in my form, inventory, if value in code is equal to 2 then the Field Table will be automatically false.
I have a form where the user selects check boxes to choose what fields to include in a report. Because of the massive amount of data, I need to send it to a temp table and then on to Excel and not use a query.
I have this line of code, for the insert into temptables for other forms that don't require the yes/no box and it works very well, but I can't figure out how to do it with these yes/no conditions.
This is the execute line that inserts into the TempTable for the other forms:
How would I write: If Check1=True Then INSERT INTO TempPicktbl Field1 If Check 2=True Then INSERT INTO TempPicktbl Field2 If Check 3=True Then INSERT INTO TempPicktbl Field 3 etc.
I'm pretty sure it's the INSERT level where I need to put this code.
In access report, I'm trying to change color of text in specific records based on the true/false value in another record. Works in forms using conditional formatting, but won't seem to work in a report.
Here's what works in forms : IIf([2009 Symposium]=true, forecolor=255 ....this changes the records to red.
But using the same expression in a report doesn't change the text color.
I've recently finished constructing a database that uses forms with checkboxes i.e. when a user opens a form there are several checkboxes associated with labels, but the table only stores the check-boxes and the form labels are the field (column) names on the table.
Now, what I'm trying to do is create a search feature whereby if a keyword search is conducted, a search through the column names from the table with checkboxes takes place and only lines (rows) with true (checked) checkboxes are returned.
I'm calling this code on my Form's BeforeUpdate Event which I understand should only run if the form is dirty. In this example, the code should check to see if 4 fields ("txtField1", "txtField2", txtField3", "txtField4") have data present, if not highlight them yellow.
Function Msg() Dim ctl As Control Dim strFields As String Dim strControl As String Dim intCounter As Integer Dim blnEmpty As Boolean
For Each ctl In Me.Controls blnEmpty = False If ctl.ControlType = acComboBox Or acTextBox Then If ctl.Visible And Len(ctl.Tag) > 0 Then Select Case ctl.Tag Case "txtField1", "txtField2", txtField3", "txtField4" If IsNull(ctl.Value) Then blnEmpty = True ctl.BackColor = vbYellow Else ctl.BackColor = vbWhite End If Case Else If ctl.Value = 0 Then blnEmpty = True ctl.BackColor = vbYellow Else ctl.BackColor = vbWhite End If End Select If blnEmpty Then _ strFields = strFields & ctl.Tag & vbCrLf If blnEmpty Then _ If Len(strControl) = 0 Then _ strControl = ctl.Name End If End If Next
If Len(strFields) > 0 Then Cancel = True MsgBox "You have not completed all data fields, " & _ "please enter data in the following fields:" & vbCrLf & strFields, _ vbExclamation, Me.Caption Me(strControl).SetFocus Me(strControl).BackColor = vbWhite Exit Function End If End Function
However, it keeps falling over at: Cancel = True saying "Compile Error: Variable Not Defined"
I want to be able to run this code from a "Close Form button" to ensure that either the record is not created unless the fields listed are filled in or the form closure is cancelled so that the user can complete the missing data.
I've seen varients of this code on a couple of Access forums but can't find a solution for the "Cancel = True" issue.
I'm new here and attempted to search on this topic, but didn't seem to find anything pertaining to my problem...
I'm attempting to export a table using TransferSpreadsheet to an Excel 8-9 file, but one of the fields in my records is over 255 characters long. Importing it into Access works fine, but after I export it to the Excel file, it truncates the field to 255 characters. Is there a way around this?
I know zero about Access and am posting this for another organization. When exporting to cvs, one of the fields is not exporting the entire text. It's a text-only field with about 300 characters. Is there a limit? Seems they had had this problem in the past, but fixed it. Can't find the solution again. Help and thanks!
