I need to have a field on my form to accept the user keying in the number in this fashion: 200200.1234 but as I currently have it set it accepts only the 200200 portion of this part number. I am a beginner so I am sure this is an easy question for some of the pros out there.
As a footnote the table design has the bin no. as data type - text and I added an input mask of 000000.0000;0; the field on the form is a combo box. Maybe that will make a clear picture for you.
I'm setting up a table that has several percentage fields, for which I want to display 3 decimal places in datasheet view (and later in forms and reports). I've tried to set up the fields in a variety of ways, but either I don't get a percent format, or I get 3 decimals with 2 zeros at the end. For example, 73.913% shows up as 73.900%. This, of course, causes problems in calculations, so that for a total percent field I'm getting things like 99.900% instead of 100.000%. I've tried various combinations of formatting properties for these fields (Field Size, Format, Decimal Places, and Scale) but I have yet to hit on the right one to simply display the correct value in the format of a percent.
I have a tblParts that has data in this format 200200.0100 (these are bin numbers). I have created a form with a bound field (field name on the form is BinNo) that goes back to the tblParts. I need to be able for the user to enter on the form the Bin number as it appears above. However at the moment it is dropping my decimal and is only keeping the 200200 portion of the Bin Number. If I enter the bin number correctly into the table it accepts the correct format of 200200.0100. Can someone take a look at the form and the field BinNo to tell me what I may have missed. Keep in mind that the goal of the database is to enter the bin number into the form and run a query that creates a new table. There is also a delete table button since the data in the form will change for each blueprint document created. I am attempting to attach a practice db for you to see what I have done but I have not had much success with this in the past. Thanks in advance for your help.
I have created an Access 2007 database that uses a form for data entry. While the data is stored on the table exactly as entered, the data entry form rounds up and only displays the whole number.
In the properties of that form field, I have the format as fixed, with decimal places as set to 1 and is visible. However, the number still rounds. What do I need to do differently to make the number display as entered on my data entry form?
I have a form to input data into a table1. On the form I have a combo box to read from a next table exchange rate to input into the table1. Field in Tablet for the exchange rate is set to Field size double, Format currency, and decimals 6.
I am unable to set the field size on the form to read the 6 decimals. The combo box is set to Currency decimal 6. I tried General Number and it still only shows only one decimal.
When I right click a row on the data sheet side of a split form an select "New Record" I want the curser to go to the first field on the single record side. I've placed this in the OnCurrent but it did no good.
Code:
If Me.NewRecord Then Me!Descrfiption.SetFocus. End If
Any way to set the focus to the single form Side of a split form?
Hello,I was wondering if anybody knew if it was posslble to show an aproximated value of a field with decimal records. I would like to see only integer values on my form.
I have a field that holds a unit price. I can't use currency as the data type because the currency type is different for each client. I have another field that specifies the currency type for each department. Up to now I've been using a double format with a 2 decimal places. We now need to increase the decimal places to 4 but don't necessarily want to see all four places if only 2 are required - 1.5000 against 1.50. However if I make the decimals as auto, if I have 1.50 it rounds to 1.5.
Any other way to give a bit of flexibility to this?
I am trying to round decimals to either .5 or 0 right now i have it set to 1 decimal place and it rounds to to the next place. So if a user puts in 1.23 it would round to 1.2 instead of 1.0, is there a simple way to solve this issue?
TI it's the sum of Price, and here is the problem, because the value of TI should be 8,93 Euro (3,86+5,07) not 8,91. In this case it's a loss of 3 cent , but in other cases, if i have more value to calculate the sum for I can loss a few euro!
The values are placed in the detail section, TI on the footer section of the report. To calculate TI I used a Text box wich format is currency, Decimal places 2, Control source =Sum([Price]).
I make this same calculations on forms also, there the situation it's worst, the value it's rounding down or up in each case, in this particular case insted of 8,93 I got 8,00.
What's wrong with it? I'm making mistakes somwhere? Any help is apreciated. I need it soooooo bedly! :)
I'm having a problem getting imported data to display what I want. I'm importing a fixed width file and one of my fields is a currency amount. The field value in the file is 12 characters with the last 2 as the cents (000000544990) I have my access field type as currency with 2 decimals (and I've tried many other settings auto,0 etc.) When I do my import it displays my data as $544,990.00 If I tell it no decimals it displays $544,990 It should be displayed as $5,449.90 somehow it keeps adding 2 characters and uses them as the cents instead of using the last 2 from my file.
Dont understand what is controlling these decimals. I dont need any decimals for this database. The currency is talking bout money in 1000's and the probability is whole numbers.
I have a table that I need to enter values into but for some reason when I enter a decimal (ex: .015), it automatically changes to 0. I have the Data Type set as Number, Field Size as Long Integer and Decimal Places to 3. I have another field set the same way and it works fine.
Hi, I use the built in tools "Analyze data with excel to export" to export data from froms to excel and it works fine. The only problem is in the form and table I had specified 3 decimals but in excel the data is two decimals and I have to always reformat the cells manually to 3 decimals.
Any way to have this set when exporting even if I have to use VBA code.
I enter values into a table with 2 decimal places.
I have a query that applies percents to the values - I have set the results to have 2 decimal places.
I have another query that summarises data from the previous query, however the results I get are not right, the decimals differ from the actual result, if I make a sum of the values by hand.
It seems as if the query I have made to apply percents only DISPLAYS data with 2 decimals instead of actually rounding it, so that the other query summarises data with more than 2 decimals, and thats where the difference int the end result comes from. I don't know how to fix this however.
Here's what I have so far...and it works fine; however, some results have decimal places; i.e., 2.1666666.
I just need the result to be the whole number. I can't seem to get it to come out that way...I've used "round"...but I must not be putting it in the right part of the formula.
I've got a products table in which I have a field called weight. Obviously, this is to hold the weight of the item. I've it set to Number | Long Integer with desimal places set to 2. However, when I put 2.5 it makes it 2.
I am trying to develop a customized program in MS Access, but one of the input parameters needs to be a decimal or fraction (ie: I need to enter values that are not whole number integers). Unfortunately, it seems that MS Access won't enable me to input values that are not whole number integers. I had this same difficulty in the past, and in that case, it turned out that the non-integer value was not used. But in the current program I'm trying to develop, I definitely need to get the non-integer data inputting to work, since the parameter that I'm entering these values for is "percentage". It turns out that if I enter a value from 0.51 to 1, it rounds up to 100%, and if I enter a value that's 0.5 or lower, it rounds down to 0%. There is no in-between. I tried looking into the various settings in DESIGN mode, but nothing seems to correct this problem. Is there anyone out there reading this that has insight into my problem? Could my version of MS Access have a software corruption? Or is there just a setting that I've overlooked? I appreciate any advice that can be offered. Thanks for your help.
Then Af lost from view and Bf appears in form view, with Blabel and Bcombox show the value of Atxtbox.
BUT if I try something like this in Bf when an event happens
Code: Me.Bcombox2.RowSource = "SELECT xx FROM tablexx WHERE yy = '" & Nz(Me.Bcombox) & "'"
Nothing will be shown in Bcombox2, because Me.Bcombox return Null. I know this from doing
Code: MsgBox Me.Bcombox
and the message box will shows nothing. The same thing also happen with the Blabel's caption. In form view, it shows Atxtbox value, but when I accessed its caption's value, it returns Null.
What I wanna do is:
1) Open Af, insert value to Atxtbox
2) clicked Abtn, pass the value of Atxtbox to Bcombox
I have a form with a query based bound combo. The same combo can be found on another form which can be launched from the original form. I want to update the combo on the original form with the same value as the combo on the launched form (after update).
In my after update event I have the following code;
[Foms]![form1]![Combo1] = Combo 2
This doesn't seem to work (I don't get an error but Combo1 doesn't update).
I have a form that is intended to be used for both data entry and to edit/delete records.
The form properties are set to: AllowFilters = YES AllowEdits = YES AllowAdditions = YES AllowDeletions = NO DataEntry = YES
When a user opens the form from a menu they are given the choice for NEW, EDIT or DELETE.
If the user chooses NEW, the properties remain as above
If the user chooses EDIT or DELETE the form should open to a specific record as chosen on an interim form.
I have been using the following code to open the form for EDIT: stLinkCriteria = "[fldID] = " & Forms!frmsearchresults.fldID DoCmd.OpenForm "frmJobInfo", acNormal, , stLinkCriteria, , acFormEdit
However, the form continues to open in Data Entry mode.
I have a public variable that is set to NEW, EDIT or DELETE that can be used to trigger code...
Where should the form properties be set to make sure that the form opens correctly?
On a form i have a text box which holds the date that a file batch was taken to be processed. Each file holds the date of when the batch it originated from was taken. At the moment for ease of use the 'Default Value' of the text box is set to the batch's date.
I want to set it up so i can change the default value of the cell, so that when a new batch is to be processed the new date becomes the default value.
I am invisaging a button which brings up another form with a text box into which the new date can be put. when the form is saved and closed, the date recieved cell on the master form assumes the new default value.
Hi, I am a new member, who has been reading these postings for several weeks, hoping for a few quick answers, but no luck.
I have several issues on form size.
The first is that some of my forms open OK, but they change the form size of the form that opened them. My main form is maximized. When I open a child form, not maximized, the main form, and the open Access windows, such as the DataBase form and any open Tables, Queries, Reports, etc all become non-maximized.
The main form has the dimensions of the last-opened form .mde files, which leads me to believe that there is some Access option that crosses project or database lines. I cannot find it.
If I maximize the main form with the child form open, Access maximizes the child form also. If any form is open in Design View, the Properties window may be on top of everything. As the controls I need are seldom visible in these small windows, I spend much effort resizing windows.
What do I need to do to have a maximized "Switchboard" and smaller child windows/Forms???
