Simplifying Expressions By Assigning Parts To Variables Error
May 30, 2012
I have a report with many unbound fields with expressions (over 200). I've began getting this error message. This may seem like a dumb question but what does it mean when it speaks of simplifying the expression by assigning parts to variables. I put a few examples of some of the expressions below.
"This expression is typed incorrectly, or it is too complex to be evaluated. For example, a numeric expression may contain too many complicated elements. Try simplifying the expression by assigning parts of the expression to variables."
=Count(IIf([District]=1,0))
=Count(IIf([District]=1,IIf([FSL]=4,0)))
=[D1Final4]+[D1Waiver4]+[D1PreMist4]
=[D1TotalCom4]/[D1TotalReq4]

"Line #3 data"
. . . .
"Line #7 data"
"Line #8 data"

It's me again... :(
After getting (with a lot of help from ansentry) my database doing exactly what I wanted. I realised I wanted more... by my tiny mind can't see how to approach it - despite on the face of it looking like the simplest thing to do.
So here goes:
I have a table of customers. I also have a table of jobs, or workorders assigned to each customer. Each customer can have multiple jobs added at any time. All this works perfectly.
Now I want to assign parts (i.e. cables, tools, software) to each job. So each Job (sorted by WorkorderID) can have multiple parts added to it.
I'm using control tabs as well and would prefer it if I could use some kind of button on the Customers' Job summary view to "Add a Part".
Here's a link to my previous questions, complete with pictures....
http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=108706
Ideally, it would be great if the Job Summary view I have made could also have a column saying how many parts have been used in the job. (This is very much a nice-to-have!)
I tried a search on the forums for clues, but I reckon I'm either not searching the right way or this is so easy no one else has asked it. Apologies in either case. Any help would be great... :D

Hi
I am assigning a value from a table to text box on the form through VBA. It gives the following error :
Run time error 2115
The macro or function set to the BeforeUpdate or ValidationRule property for this field is preventing MS Access from saving the data in the field. I have no BeforeUpdate or Validation event for the text box. What else could be the cause ?
The text box is unbound and I use ADODB connection.
Please assist.

Is the following possible? If so - how?
I have a series of several hundred variables being assigned values.
If the value assigned to the variable results in an error, I would like to assign a default value to the variable which caused the error.
How do I reference the variable, or line (or any info I can work with), which caused the error?

The following code is in the Form Current. As you can see if BranchCode = 2 I want to do a DLookup on the SystemPreferences table that holds a number Branch fields that hold document archive numbers for that branch. I want to move the number in the CroArchiveNo field into the field ArchiveNumber. I then run an Update Query on the system preferences table to add one to the relative branch archive number.
If Me.[BranchCode] = 2 Then
Me.[ArchiveNumber] = DLookup("[CroArchiveNo]", "SystemPreferences", "[SysPrefId] = 1")
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.OpenQuery "UpdateCroArchiveNo"
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
End If
My problem is that I get an error
Run Time error 2448
You can't assign a value to this object

All:
What I'm trying to do:
I want to be able to use a switchboard button (or a button on a form) to open a unique form. OK, true, that's easy. Here is where I am having trouble. I want that one click to set the title of the form and the criteria for the query of a subform. Basically I want one form/subform/query to service multiple employees.
What I currently have:
I have a main form and two subforms, and multiple queries for each employee. They all do the same thing, display the same basic information but it all depends on the employee. If I make a simple change it takes hours to change all the forms for all the employees.
What I've done to find an answer:
I bought a Learn Access in 24hrs type book which got me to where I am now. I then purchased an Access VBA book and am currently about 1/3 of the way through that but still have no idea where to go.
I've searched through example databases to find one that does something similar but haven't found one.
I've done web and forum searches. I think my lack of success there is possibly due to not searching for the right things.
I've been experimenting on my own since November of 07.
I don't have a skilled friend I can ask.
There is probably a simple solution I just don't know where to find it.
Any help?

Hello!
Simple one for most, but I have having problems with a Database I am setting up
The database controls stock movement (i.e. inwards stock and outwards stock)
I have set up a Parts Inwards table with the following fields:
Part Number (linked)
Qty In
Stock Location
And I have set up a Parts Out bound with the following fields:
Part Number (linked)
Qty Out
Stock Location
Now for the problem, when I run a query to tell me how many parts I have left in the stock room i.e. Qty In - Qty Out, it duplicates the data in the Qty In.
I assume its got something to do with the fact that I have multiple Qty out’s for a single Qty In entry…hope this make sense?
Can someone help?

In a field “NAME” I have “Adam Smith”.
From this field I want in a QBE window (not in VB) to make two new fields “FIRST NAME” “Adam” and “LAST NAME” “Smith”.
In Excel there are the functions FIND and SEARCH with which I take the number of the gap “ ” (5) between Adam and Smith and with the functions LEN, RIGHTS and LEFTS I have a result.
What could I do in Access 2003?

Hi,
I am trying to delete a part of a string but not all of it.
For example; American Express Inc. I would like to delete only the "Inc.", but leave "American Express".
How is this done?
Many Thanks,

Hello All,
I am new to this forum :) and learning Access :confused: .
The Database
Tables:
Employees
Products
ExpectedQuantity
PartQTY
Parts
Most of the products are similar so they have the same parts for the majority. However they do not all have the same parts. So I created a parts table that contains all the parts needed for any product. Now each Product also can contain multiples of one part (such as wheels) where I would want to list the Product and the parts list and quantity needed of those individual parts for that product. Hence the PartQTY table.
Now what I want to be able to do, is go into a form where each record is one of the products. A subform (datasheet view) for that product that shows all the parts and the quantity of each part that make up the product. Such as 4
wheels, 5 screws, etc for Product A.
I would like there to be an ExpectedQauntity field in the main form which once you found the product you can enter in the number of that product expected. Then this Qauntity would be multiplied by the qauntity of each part required (in the datasheet subform a column with =[expectedQTY]*[PartQTY]) and list next to each part the number needed to order. So if for product A the expected quantity is 50 I would have to order 200 wheels and 250 screws for that product.
A report would Sum each part qauntity after the expectedqauntity has been entered for each product. So I could print a report that tells me how many of each part we need to order based on the expected qauntity of all the products.
I think I am complicating things and would like a fresh mind to assist me in which direction to go.
Thank You,
Adam

I know how to Grab the Right and left Characters and grab the mid characters from a field value
ex: Right([fieldName],4)
My question is how to I grab characters based on a space
Say for instance "Fred Smith" or a name field. There are going to be varing lengths of last names...but the format is the same...First Name, Space, Last Name....
QUESTIONS:
How do I search the string, count to the space, then take all characters after the Space?
One step further how would I grab the middle name in this example?
"Fred M Smith"

OK, here's my delima (my head is spinning)
I have a standard Product table:
tblProducts
ProductID (PK)
ProductName
VendorName
Description
UnitPrice
InStock
Every Product has many Parts, but one Part may go to many Products
I will build this table:
tblProductParts
PartID (PK)
PartName
VendorName
Description
UnitPrice
InStock
How would I relate them together? I figure I need to use a Many to Many, with this table inbetween:
tblProductPartsList
ProductPartsListID (PK)
ProductID (FK to tblProducts)
PartID (FK to tblProductParts)
I feel like I'm missing something, can you let me know what you think???
THANKS!!!

Hi, can anyone help me do this...
In my products table I have fields such as Bulletpoint1, Bulletpoint2, MainDescription etc.
Each holds part of the product description
In a seperate table I have my description templates with placeholders for the bulletpoints and maindescription. for example....
<ul><li><!-- Bulletpoint1 --></li><li><!-- Bulletpoint2 --><li></ul>
Now, for each record I want to grab the template and replace the placeholders with the real text.
I've got as far as putting this in a query...
Expr1: Replace([DescTemplates]![TemplateData], "<!-- Bulletpoint1 -->", [Products]![Bulletpoint1])
That does the job nicely or the first bulletpoint but where from there? There must be a neater way than having a load of query columns each updating the last. ie.
Expr2: Replace([Expr1], "<--Bulletpoint2 -->", ...
Expr3: Replace([Expr2],...
Or is that the simplest way of doing it?
Cheers!

PartNumber
Heres some example data:

2 M24308/4-2F

4 ORD9M0000
5 D90000VLO
6 D90000JOO
How would I design the table to allow me to define alternatepart numbers and also related parts? For example:
Record 1 is the primary part and record 3 is the alternatepart.
Record 2 is the primary part and record 4 is the alternatepart.
Records 5 and 6 are related parts to records 1, 2, 3 and 4.
I have a form that allows the user to select a part and displaythe part data. But I also want the alternate parts and related parts displayedon the form, maybe in a subform with tabs. I havent gotten there yet because Icant determine the table design.

i've created a database for city permits to be issued (which works perfectly thanx to alll your help), but now i need to be able to print out 1 permit at a time when it is issued (immediately after the data has been entered into the forms). i have 3 tables & 3 forms: contractors/owners, permtOrders (which has tabs for the different types of permits), and permitOrderDetails. the problem is the forms are set up for data entry (and only open in add mode for obvious reasons)...i need to be able to print an actual permit (like the carbon copy, landscape kind that usually tears out of a book). once the user enters the information into the forms, i need a little bit of that info from each form to be carried onto the actual printable permit. i'm not really sure how to accomplish this. :confused: i don't really know if i explained this right, but any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure what the best way to set this up is, and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I have a long list of different parts that I have acquired and taken inventory of. I am selling kits that contain different amounts of certain parts. For example, Kit 1 contains 2 of part A, 3 of part B, and 14 or part L. I will only be selling complete kits and not the individual parts.
Here's what I'm thinking. I need a table for the individual parts that lists the quantities of each. A table for the kits and a subtable for the kits that lists the quantities of each part. A transaction table.
Then I just need a form that has a combo box with the kits listed, date of transaction and quantity shipped, and a button that runs a query to subtract from the quantities of the individual parts based on the kits table and subtable.
Can someone please help? I'd really appreciate any tips.
Thanks.
Richie

The field name is simply: Part

How to calculate all records that have not yet been linked to other records. For example: I have 1 Product, which is linked with multiple components which is subsequently linked to subcomponents. All these types can be linked to Alternate Parts.
In order to reduce redundant information I would like to show the unlinked parts to the user. Therefore I would like to make a query which shows all unlinked parts.
I have the following tables with subsequent PK Part Number field values:
tblProduct->ProductPN
tblComponent->ComponentPN
tblSubComponent->SubComponentPN
tblAltParts->AltPartPN
I am unable to find a appropriate query structure with criteria for this issue due to the many different fields required and the fact that if in one query all these tables are shown no data will be shown ...

I am running a query to some me total parts made between 2 dates. The dates are selected from a form with the query looking to this form to selected the date range.
When I run the query it shows me total parts made for each day. What i would like is a single total of parts between the range.
I assume I could achieve this by a 2nd query...

I have a report that is generated daily that is a TXT file that is also the has the same file name each morning. One section out of this file is needed in a database that compiles and sends out reports to our customers. This section of the TXT file is variable in length, but is always preceded and ends with a specific text string that I can search for. It is also formatted in columns that are always the same width.
I currently have to hand enter this section into the database every morning. Not the easiest of tasks... I would like to get this automated.
