I have been unable to find a simple way to copy a text entry from a Table Field and paste it to multiple records in Datasheet view.The Toolbar 'Paste' procedure copies to the selected record only and I am unaware of how to select multiple records, as per a spreadsheet procedure.
View RepliesI am trying to copy multiple rows (150+) and then paste them into the same table below the original 150 rows.I can only seem to get 1 row at a time.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an Access database with linked tables from Sybase SQL Anywhere, via an ODBC data source. I have just linked the tables recently, all the data used to be in native Access tables. It is fairly common for members of our team to open these tables in datasheet view, and copy/paste several records to create new records, then edit a few fields on the new records. This used to work fine with native Access tables, but when we try it with the linked tables we either get an ODBC error - "primary key value already exists" or the new records show up with #Deleted.
The root of the problem is this: In the old Access tables, the primary key was an autonumber field, and Access was smart enough to assign new ID's when you copy/pasted records. In the linked table, the primary key is type "Number" in Access, and Access is not smart enough to let Sybase assign new ID's when you copy/paste records in datasheet view. Access is trying to force the existing ID's into the primary key field, and Sybase says "too bad so sad".
Of course, I could just write some quick append queries to copy/paste the data. And in the short term, that's exactly what I will have to do. But is there any way, long term, to allow members of my team to do it the "quick & dirty" way by copy/pasting in datasheet view? I have tried to change the primary key to an autonumber field in design view, but Access doesn't allow that. Is there a way to do it in code, or a way to force Access to allow Sybase to always handle the primary key field?
I have a database that is tracking donations for my organization. I have some members who donate the same amount every month. Is there away to copy the records and paste them with the current date in the "Date Paid" field, and do this "Update" once a month? As opposed to typing in 200 records each month? I would assume that I would have to run an update query which filters to just the members that pay each month, but the big question is how to copy and paste these records. I am using Access 2010, I have some VB ability, but not an expert by any stretch. My SQL is not strong at all either.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have an excel spreadsheet i want to copy and paste into a pre-formatted table, and the excel date format is integer YYYYMMDD or today is 20140825
I can't get the input mask in MS Access 2007 to create that !
It is a continuous subform (Names: Form = ClientUpdate / Subform = ClientUpdateSub.
All of the data implicated here is direct and in the subform's query table including the button we want to program.
(This is my example but it wont stay in columns in this "post box" )
IDNo App _ID App_Freq App_Date GetDates Action_Date
22 18 56 21-Jun-13 BUTTON 14-Jun-13
21 19 56 16-Aug-13 BUTTON 9-Aug-13
*
The GetDates Command BUTTON should generate the red data above, like:
Private Sub GetDates_Click()
Go to a new record
Go to the field App_Freq and fill it with:
Copy/paste the data from the field of the same name in the previous record
Go to the field App_Date and fill it with:
data based on this calculation using the PREVIOUS record fields: App_Date + App_Freq (which are days)
Go to the field Action_Date and fill it with:
data based on this calculation: App_Date (of current record now filled out - step above), minus 7 (days).
End Sub
That's it!
All the dates format is set to medium date. An error message should come up in case App_Freq is empty, for example
Also note that the data can be manually changed at any time and should not revert to its last calculation. The button only generate data into a new record.
When I copy data from Outlook or MS Word that contains bullets or other HTML formatted text, into MS Access text control, the HTML tags are displayed in the tables.
The memo field in the table is set to Rich Text and so is the text control on the form.
Below is an example of the data I'm copying from Outlook email:
Fire Alarm Activation
Actual/Smoke Present
False
Planned Drill/Testing
Evacuation
2. Utilities/Power/Communication Failure
Now, below is what it looks like in my table or output in a report:
<ol>
<ol>
<li><strong>Fire Alarm Activation </strong></li>
</ol>
</ol>
<ul>
[Code] ....
How can I copy and paste and remove the html tags?
How do I activate functions mouse functions in a field? I want to click the right key of the mouse when I'm in a field within a form so I can cut, copy, and paste.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.

To speed up my input I copy a record and paste it.
Only trouble is that I have one field in the table that is dependant on the parent table. [The customers email address which I populate with a query/combo box. There could be many, depending who the order was for.]
Q: What function could I use after the paste funtion to ammend that field automatially setting it to 'null'
Q: I looked into WM_PASTE but I'm really struggling!
Many thanks

I am working with 4 tables and I am trying to get a count of the email address field in each table grouped by Email Group Name. I tried the dcount function but returned an error because some of the email addresses have an apostrophe in the field. Is there a way to do this in 1 query? This is an example of the result I would like:
EmailGroup/TtlEmailSents/TtlEmailsOpened/TtlEmailsClicked/TtlFormSubmits
AAA 50 30 15 10
BBB 100 75 50 20
CCC 60 25 5 1
Tables:
Emails Sent
Emails Opened
Emails Clicked
Form Submits
Field Names in all tables:
Email Group Name
Email Address
Field I want to count is Email Address for each table, grouped by Email Group Name.
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.

I want to disable the user from cutting/copying/pasting the value of a text box. What is the keyAscii of SHIFT as well as CTRL so on the keypress event for that textbox I can simply set it to a null.
Or is there an easier way to do this?
This is a errand database where each client can have several errands and some errands are related to each one and other.
Since each client can have several errands and and each errand is related to each one and other, then the client. I thought i need key which can work as a ClientErrandID, so i can tie the errands together. My idee is to use the ClientErrandID as an text auto incrementing field with a string like: (Errand-A-xxxx).
Lest say the range would be from (Errand-A-0000 to Errand-A-9999) And when the string hits "9999" at the end the "A" will switch to a "B" and the number counter would start over from "0000"
How should the table relationship look like?When a user is adding a new errand to a client, how should the function work?
Should all the associated errands be created in the background and granted the same Errand_ID when the main errand is created?Can i create a incrementing text field with vba & queries?
How would the code structure look like?Is there any examples on a incrementing text field with code available?
Hi,
I want to list all the records of a particular field from all tables in my database. The field has the same name in all the tables. Ideally I would like one long list of the records. How can I do this?

OK, here is a weird one, at least it seems weird to me. I have a field on a table, or query result, doesn't matter which, and it looks like this:"55264"25468"4562"123etc, etc.Now I need to copy that and paste it into the notepad in Windows. When I do that the pasted data looks like this:"""55264""""25468""""4562""""123"I have looked at it on the clipboard and it also looks like the above. I really need this data to paste to the notepad just like it is stored on the table (with one double quote only). It's one of those strange sounding things, please do not ask me to explain why...I just need it like that.Why the heck does the extra quote get added to the front and one get placed on the end?Test it yourself and see.Thanks
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi Guys,
I'm trying to make a report where i will have a variable number of charts. My approach is to have one "template" chart, and copy and paste it at runtime, and then alter each new chart's properties (data source, etc) to suit
My question, and i'm sorry if it's basic, is how do i copy and paste my first chart (called "Chart1") as another control named "Chart2"?
thx for the advice

I have a textbox on a form that automatically shows the current date. Below that, I have 3 other textboxes for dates (each representing a step in a process). Often, the same date is imputed into each of these boxes. I would like to have an “Autofill” command button that would take the date in the first box and place it in the other three. This is so basic it’s hard. My usual searches turn up nothing. Any suggestions welcome.
Hi there,
I am a database designer for a UK Insurance company and have recently needed to rebuild our complaints database. One of the problems with the previous database was that staff were copying text from an application designed by Pacific Solutions (PACSOL). When the data was pasted into our Complaints database, it was causing some serious issues that made the database crash. This had started to affect people's confidence in our ability through no fault of our own. We then found out that this was due to the character set of PACSOL not being supported by access.
What we would like to do in the new database is prevent users from copying and pasting text into the system. Perhaps by displaying an error message when they press CTRL+V or do edit - paste.
Does anyone know how this can be done?
Thanks
Gareth

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to copy a table and paste as another name. I do this all the time with this table as it is a process I have to do. It is giving me a -1524 error. I also tried to export it to another database and it won't allow that either. I get the same error.
I have tried this with other tables and it does fine.
I have a handheld that downloads a CSV file which I copy and paste into an Access database. I was using XP and moved to 2010, with xp this worked great. In 2010 some fields that text and/or numbers will only copy the numbers and the field that have text will just have a blank in access. Is there a fix for this?
