I have created a table that contains banking info. I have a field for Transaction #; the Transaction # is always 4 digits. Sometimes that number begins with a 0. When I enter the 0 at the beginning, Access will not show it. I've tried setting the Input Mask (tried #### and 0000) but that still didn't work. The field type needs to be number so that my report will sort properly. How do I get the 0 at the beginning to show?
I'm having trouble with a field on my DB. I have a field named zip code. It has a limit of 5 characters that are only number values, I'm not having any trouble with entering information at all, it's easiest when I just tab into the cell from the previous one. However, the part I am having trouble with is when I click within the field and the cursor, let's say, is at the second character line, and I enter the zipcode 15222, it'll only enter 1522 since my cursor is at the second line.
How can I fix this so that wherever my cursor is, within the box it'll type the full 5 digit zip code? My boss is insistent on making sure that even if he clicks towards the right of the box, it should type the full number.
When using the Format:'yyyy mm dd' in access queries. When trying to show a week is there a way to show the date range instead of week number.
Week 01 = Jan1-7. If the results are only week numbers that makes it hard for people to understand when it actually is. Bottom line is: I would like to convert Week number to actual date range. Can anyone help with this?
I'm sure this should be simple but I can't figure it out. What I want is for a text box on a form to display the number of records within a table.
Basically I've got a make table query which creates a table ox X records depending on how many records in the original table match the criteria. So for example:
Table A has 100 records
Query identifies 30 that mee the criteria
Makes a new table called criteria_met with these 30 records
What I want is for a textbox on a form to display "30" and update whenever the make table query runs (probably via a macro??)
I have a continuous subform. Because the records are often many, the user needs to scroll down the page.
How do I have a text box in each row that shows Record x of Total Records?
I tried setting a text box control source = [currentrecord] in the Detail area of the subform but it didn't work . It did weird things because I suspect the control is trying to show the record that has the focus or something
I have a main form called "frmMain" and on it I have a text control named "txtBoatStatus". The control source for txtBoatStatus is determined by code that I have in the Form_Current event. The code is as follows:
txtBoatStatus.Value = "There are " & BoatStatus & " boat orders that are complete."
(end code sample)
Now when I first open the frmMain everything works great and the control will say, "There are 5 boat orders that are complete." Perfect. However, In the instance if I open the form with my Boat Orders and mark off another order as complete (bringing my total to 6), the txtBoatStatus does not update when I reopen frmMain. It will only update and show, "There are 6 boat orders that are complete." if I manually hit SHIFT+F9.
How can I do this automatically? I've tried various things such adding "Me.Recalc" or "Me.Requery" to differnt events, controls, etc. but I still cant get it to show the updated number automatically. How can I get it to update without SHIFT+F9?
I am trying construct a form that will only show an invoice if all the invoice records have been approved. I have created a form that will allow the user to look at each line of an invoice and has a checkbox to approve it. If the user has selected all the boxes it will disappear from the Approval view, which is a query that shows unique values.
The problem is that if all of the lines but one are checked it will also show up in the view for the unapproved invoices AND the approved invoices. I would like to know how to structure a query that shows unique values but ONLY if ALL of the invoice line items have been approved.
I have a table with a field that shows the number of pieces that a parcel contains. It looks like this: ParcelID, Pieces, Description
Data example: 1001, 5, Jackets 1002, 10, shoes etc
I need to print labels for each piece that shows to which parcel it belongs. The report will look like: 1001, Total pieces = 5, 1 of 5 pieces, Jackets 1001, Total pieces = 5, 2 of 5 pieces, Jackets 1001, Total pieces = 5, 3 of 5 pieces, Jackets 1001, Total pieces = 5, 4 of 5 pieces, Jackets 1001, Total pieces = 5, 5 of 5 pieces, Jackets
and 1002, Total pieces = 10, 1 of 10 pieces, shoes 1002, Total pieces = 10, 2 of 10 pieces, shoes 1002, Total pieces = 10, 3 of 10 pieces, shoes 1002, Total pieces = 10, 4 of 10 pieces, shoes 1002, Total pieces = 10, 5 of 10 pieces, shoes
If I could populate a table where the number of records equal the value of the pieces column then it's a pretty simple report but I can't figure this out.
I am trying to use Dcount to find the number of records in a query and put it on a text box in the header of a report. The query is a parameter query. The button opens a form which asks for start and end dates, the query reads those dates from the form and the report displays the correct number of records that fall within the date range. The query is based on another query, which is based on the table. I tried =dcount("*","qryName") but I get #error. Maybe becauase of dates? or parameters?
I have a form containing 4 text Boxes txt1, txt2, txt3 and txt4
I want
txt1 show records from table empDetail having age between 18 to 25 txt2 show records from table empDetail having age between 26 to 35 txt3 show records from table empDetail having age between 36 to 45 txt4 show records from table empDetail having age between 46 to 55
I have read that the number field doesn't show the leading zeros in 2007... does 2010 have a way to do that, or does it still have to be a text field in order to see them..?
I have 2 tables...a lookup table with possible responses (i.e. yes, no, don't know) and the second with 8 fields that contain the values selected from the first table. Tables are related one-to-many. I need to count the number of times each of the responses shows from the lookup table shows in each of the fields in the main table. Have tried to query with the lookup field set to "group by" and each field set to "count".
I have a field in a table where it is a lookup is a combo box. So this makes the data type of the field a number when in reality it is a text. When I have this field show in a list box it shows the number instead of the text.
I would like to setup a MS ACCESS database for the 174 styles that we sell. I would like the user to see the item ref, manufacturer, where the goods are packaged, bulk price, packaging costs, total costs of that item (=bulk + packaging costs), M.O.Q, carton quantity, Contact, Email address, Supplier Address.
Could someone suggest a checklist or alternatively a set of procedures i would have to follow to setup this database? I would like the user to be able to type in the item reference so that it brings up all the information stated above, which would be stored in the data table.Is this possible?
I have the the information stated above in an excel spreadsheet format if I link this to an access related database can i setup a search mechanism, if yes please advise how?
I am not so bothered about the way it looks at the moment I would just love to see it up and running.
Please advise the best way for me to approach this? If someone has a "readme" file which would help me set this up, It would most appreciated????
I have a default text value in a field. When I tab to go that field, it is highlighted. But for this specific field I want to go to show the cursor to the left of the text and with it unhighlighted, so I can add text to the beginning.
I am trying to generate a Query by week always beginning on a Monday. I pick any date....and want all records in both printed version and chart version i,e, number of safety meetings attended vs number who should have attended for this week. I can enter data with todays date, well any day this week. Then at some future date ask for who attended this week and percentages (another story). Any ideas?
I got a massive lump of WORD documents with Avery Mail label tables -- each avery mail label template/table has a mailing address. This how these people store their data. :mad::confused::mad:
So I went through and over a couple days transfered all 458 records to an excel spreadsheet for easy importing to my access mailing database. Problem is that I forgot to clean up a couple of the fields and now I have all these values with unnecessary spaces as the first or last characters for a lot of values.
My question: Could anyone help me remove the first and/or last character of these values if the character is " "? Would it be easier to do this in excel and just re-import?
Im having trouble with Criteria for a query. I have my criteria like this: Like "*" & [Forms]![NewSearch]![txtSearch2] & "*"
The only problem is, if im trying to search for a last name such as "Aber" the search results come up with not only Aber but also anything that contains Aber, such as the last name Singaber.
How can I make the criteria search from the beginning of the Name, and not anywhere in between?
Please help, going to drive myself nuts :)
Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.
I have done a half-dozen searches and only gotten 1 option.
There is a simple way to have the cursor at the beginning or end of a field when it arrives in a new field.
I saw the VBA code aboyt setting the length. There is an easier, simpler way to set it so that you don't have to apply the vba code to every single indiviual field.
I remember learning about it here on this forum, but now can't find it.
