I have a form with a combo box in it. The combo box has 3 items. Completed, In Progress, Incomplete. A user completes the form and access puts the information in the database. How do i do a query that gives me how many "Completes" a user has or "Incompletes"?
View RepliesI have a text box on my main form, that filters records on a subform, where its record source is a query.The text box works okay for filtering, however it is not doing something that I would like it to.Say we have these records
TM STEELS
TM Steels
If I was to type in STEELS, then only the top record would be displayed, likewise, if I typed in Steels, only the bottom would be displayed.What I would like, is if you were to type steels, for example, both of the records would be displayed.In the criteria of the field this is based on, in the query, I have:
Code:
Like "*" & [Forms]![MainWindow].[NameTxt] & "*"
As I say, this works for bringing in results that EXACTLY match the text entered in the text box.
I'm wondering if it's possible to have two text boxes called Date1 and Date2 and these two box will have the value of two separate records in a single view form. I've tried this SQL limit function which limits the rows that i want but it doesn't seem to be working under access. Basically i need the 1st record's date value to be in Date1 textbox and the 2nd record's date value in Date2 textbox. And all these will have to be on one page, so it behaves like a continuous form.
I can't really use continuous form because i can't set individual properties on different rows of fields. Here's my thread about it Here (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?p=450801)
First of all I'm not very good with VB. What I'm trying to do is get all my customers email addresses in one text string. So it would go like 123@aol.com; bob@yahoo.com; fred@hotmail.com; and etc. My customer could then copy it and paste it in her TO: box of her email server. Any help would be great.
View 6 Replies View RelatedWe use two different systems in our office that have notebook facilities. One of them stores only a limited number of characters in the note field per record and as such, some notes actually span several records.
The other system stores the whole note in one record.
We want to transfer all the notes from the first system (1 note over several records) to the second system (1 whole note in 1 record).
I have a table with the notes from the first sytem which looks something like
Note1 - Line1 - Text
Note1 - Line2 - Text
Note2 - Line1 - Text
Note3 - Line1 - Text
Note3 - Line2 - Text
Note3 - Line3 - Text
What I want to do is, for each note, combine the separate lines into one record.
I have been able to do this in Excel with some formulas (see attachment) but am wondering if it is possible to do this in an Access Query (i.e. GroupBy the note number and have a calculated field combining the individual lines of the note, or something similar)?
I have a text box called tboWorkstream on a form. I can scroll through the records using the navigation bar at the bottom. However, I want the records to be sorted by the Workstream Column, not the Workstream ID column (which is the primary key.)
Is there a way to do this?
I know you can list the way you want in a combo, but not sure how you do this in a bound textbox.
Thanks

I have a list of part numbers in Excel. The user needs to get them into Access so it can run the queries and get the data about all of the part numbers. The part number field in my form is formatted as text because the part numbers are alphanumeric. Right now the user copies the list of part numbers out of Excel and pastes them into my Access form. The problem is that if the first 5 part numbers are only numbers, then Access assumes the whole field can only be for numbers and all of the alphanumeric part numbers are pasted in as blanks. How can I stop this from happening? It works fine when one of the first 5 part numbers has a letter in it.

I am trying to set up a user friendly front end to my database. I would like to have a form which allows the user to enter information into text boxes and then press a button which finds the relevant record(s).
I would like to use it to pin point an employee's record based on at least one piece of information, but possibly combined with up to four more by entering into these boxes. For example personnel number, surname, first name etc.
Is this possible and how do I go about setting it up?
I am aware of the filter function and queries but I can't seem to get either to operate in the way I have envisaged. They don't appear to offer the most user friendly solution, at least not in the format I have tried.
Apologies, but I am still getting to grips with access to be honest.
In the Owner Name field, I am looking for a way to pull out all estates. They are abbreviated with "EST" or "Estate". The problem is throughout the database, if you do a simple filter for "contains est" it will include names such as "Forester" or "LHB Investments".
How do I query, or filter this database such that it only returns the estates abbreviated with "EST" or "Estate"?
I'm working on a table which has a country field, but this field may contain a text string consisting of more than one country, eg "France, Belgium, Spain"
I want to run a query against the table to select records for any one country, but not sure how to do this.
Any suggestions please?
I have a field that is text format. However many of the records in that field contain numbers.I want to delete all the records that are numbers in this text field, leaving only records with textual data.

I have a form that searches through Item's names based on 2 keyword boxes.
Here's the criteria in my query:
Is Null Or Like "*" & [Forms]![frmItemView]![SearchPhrase1] & "*" And Like "*" & [Forms]![frmItemView]![SearchPhrase2] & "*"
This will show all records when both keywords are blank, and filter records using the 2 keywords otherwise.
I have a form with two text boxes and have set the correct values as outlined in Evans post. I then have the query set to run via a button. I run it but it will only give back records for the entry i have put in the 1st text box. This would work well for me otherwise... mine is like this:
Is NULL or Like "*" & [Forms]![Searchtable]![Key1] & "*" And Like "*" & [Forms]![Searchtable]![Key2] & "*"
Searchtable being my search form
key1 being my first text box entry
key2 being my second text box entry
I have an Access database where we grade reports. At the end of the grading form I have a memo field [Comments] for the grader to enter comments about why the report received the grade [Grade]. Each report is graded by multiple people. So for example, ReportNum 08-001 may be graded by 5 people and therefore will have 5 records in the database. I need a report to show all the comments for all the reports where the grade is <80. I know how to do this except for how to display all the comments from the memo field in the 5 records on one report for that ReportNum.
I hope I am making sense. I appreciate any help.

Hi all,
title says it all!
I've got a form with numerous controls and labels. When i first open the form, all looks fine - all labels are Black Arial 8 Bold. But when i start scrolling through the records, the text on three of my text labels gets bolder. I haven't a clue what is causing this - the labels are just standard - two are associated with controls and one is all on its own.
I have no code written to do this, and in fact i'm not sure you could write code to do this. I've tried renaming the labels, changing the font, deleting and recreating them, but it's always the same three that get darker.
Ideas?

Hello,
I have a very strange problem:
I have a table linked to an SQL Server table in my MS Access 2000 Application containing 5 text-fields (SQL Server Type, in Access seen as MEMO-fields) and several other fields (in total about 140 fields). Updating any field works fine except for some records. In those records I can only edit the non-text-fields in my application. When I try to edit one of the text-fields I get a error message telling me that another user has edited the record and i have to discard my changes.
The strange thing is that this problem only crops up for some records. (1 in a 100 or so) All other records work fine.
Does anyone know what happens here? And how this can be fixed?
Thanks.

simple table 6 columns
startdate

salesqty
the txt file is set up so that there is a header record, 4,999 lines of data, then the same header record, then 4,999 lines of data, then a header record etc etc. for as many lines as is in the download. This is a download TXT file from a Microsoft Axapta ERP system.
I have my table all set up and during the import I want the header records to be dropped. I tried in the validation section for startdate {Not "startdate"} but that did not work. Is there some simple way to ensure the header records are dropped?
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 am looking for a way to enable a user to fill in a number of fields on a form press a button(CreateButton) and duplicate the records how ever many times is stated in a text box(TxtQty). I also need this to increase the serial number by the amount of times stated in the text box.
There will need to be another text box (TxtNextSerialNumber) stating the next first available serial number
For Example:
TxtNextSerialNumber = AD-Oracle-00010
TxtQty = 5
Press CreateButton to create 5 records
TxtNextSerialNumber = AD-Oracle-00014
5 new records created with the below fields duplicated and the above happening.
I will then need a message box informing the user of the serial numbers created:
'You have created serial numbers AD-Oracle-00010 to AD-Oracle-00014'
Table Name: ADOracle
Form Name: ADOracleTestData
Fields Names:
CustomerName: Duplicate
PartNumber: Duplicate
OrderNumber: Duplicate
OrderDate: Duplicate
HoseKit: Duplicate
Returns: Duplicate
Comments: Duplicate
SerialNumber: + the amount shown in TxtQty starting on next serial number available.
I am using an apply filter in a form to find records in a split form.
The macro which I am using is:
[SLIDE] Like "*" & [Forms]![SALES]![ENTERREFDATA] & "*"
However I the filter to return only records which match the text exactly.
I have a form with a subform in it. The Subform relates to a junction table.
For each record on the main form, there may be more than one record on the subform. The Subform only has one field on it (a combobox).
What I want to be able to do is have a text box on the main form that shows a concatenated list of all of the records on the subform.
For example, if I have 2 subform records, 'Yellow' and 'Blue', I want a textbox on the main form record to show 'Yellow, Blue'.
I have tried so many things I have found online (over about 5 hours, including a module called ConcatRelated) and absolutely nothing works!

when I open the above form, it should create texts boxes on "frmpayments" based on how many data available in "Items" table under "Itemname" field. It'll be even better, if it can put those item's name in each text box it creates.

So I have a report with the following text box controls:
[Surname] & ", " & [Firstname]
=Sum([Quarter1_A]) - Named "Quarter_Total"
=Sum([Quarter1_T]) - Named "Quarter_Target"
=Val([Quarter_Total])/Val([Quarter_Target]) - Named "%Target" (Percent Format)
The report is grouped by the expression '[Surname] & ", " & [Firstname]'.I am trying to sort the records by the %Target text box. I tried entering the expression into the sort function but it still sorts by the grouped expression. I also tried sorting by the name of the text box but got the same results. How can I sort by the desired control?
