I am creating this temporary table on the fly I find I need a default value of zero for the field [GrpCount] . However I can't find the correct code to set this default value? I'm assuming it's an attribute
Code:
Set tbldef = DB.CreateTableDef("tblTempLkp")
With tbldef

I am using Access 2010. I have many tables that are downloaded from SAP into Access.
Within each table structure are the following standard Access attributes: Field Name Data Type Description
When I create a query I add the Field Name from the table nothing earth shattering here. But, in addition or instead of Field Name, I want to use the Description attribute. Mostly because the SAP field names are acromyms in German and are useless to the untrained eye. Please see attachment as an example.
Is there a way either using VBA or some special SQL language in any query I write to show me the Description instead of or in addition to the Field Name?
I have a keys table and a keysctivity table. I need keys to not be available if they are currently signed out (return_date is null) or if they have been marked as lost (lost_key = true)
This is my activity table. URL....If for example signin_id 1 was not returned or was lost, key_id 1 should no longer be available. Is this something that can be done?This is the access file I am working on: URL....
create two new tables "lostKeys" "unreturned_keys" and have records moved to their respective tables based on whether they are indicated to be lost or currently not returned.
Hi there
I have a MS Access 2003 DB. I need to make some changes in that but it shows me that Database is in Read Only and none of the changes can be saved.
I have tried to changed the Read ONly attr. from right click and properties but that option is allready unchecked.
Please help.

hello...
I need a little help in making a small database, I have made the tables already but the hard part is the relation
LINK: www.sunalpina.com/test.mdb
well the thing is that I need to make a database for tables "Product", "Category", "Admin", well the problem is between the tables "Product", "Category".
I want to make a category example "food" and in that category I want to make a sub-category "italian", "japanese"
and in the category "italian", I place product "pizza"
and in the category "japanese", I place product "noodles"
I don't know how to place the sub-category relationship in the database...
could someone please help....
I have a Front-End Access Data Project file (ADE compiled format for distribution) that I purposely have the Read-Only file attribute set to True.
I've been using it this way for about 7 years starting with Access 97 and the current version is 2000.
I am upgrading the app to 2003 now and everything with the conversion is fine except when I set the Read-Only file attribute to True it all of a sudden when starting it no longer connects to the Back-End (sql server) and displays a "form load cancelled" error before hanging.
If I disable the Read-Only attribute, everything is fine again, but I prefere not to do this because that will require me to rework my auto updater.
I use it this way because it prevents bloating of the file and allows for my auto updater to determine new version by using the file modification date.
Any Idea's?
Hi
I am running Access 97 and I was wondering if it was possible to change the colour(background or text) of a single record based on an attribute
I was hoping that my subform, viewing all of the records (datasheet) would look like this based on Task Des column
eg Condition = red, Awaiting = Blue
(Below is ment to look like an access datasheet view)
Property No | Task Des | MCU/ROL
PN1234/DA1 | Condtion | MCU
PN1235/DA2 | Condtion | ROL
PN1994/DA1 | Awaiting | MCU
Thanks heaps for your help
I am doing a project for school. I would like to make the default value in one field (available or rented) to be "rented" if the value in a field in another table is null. Is there an "easy" way to do this?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using Access 2013 and in table design view. Whenever I add a new 'Number' or 'Currency' field the 'Default Value' property is (by default) always 0.This is fine except when i want to refer to a foreign key or amount which could be unknown. In either of those cases the resulting field will either be invalid (because no foreign key has ID = 0) or inaccurate (because 0 is not the same as Unknown).
I would prefer if the 'Default Value' property for new fields was always nothing, then I can add my own if and when required. I want to change the default setting on a property for new fields, not the value of the field itself.
I'm guessing this isn't actually possible, but at least this post has served to vent my frustrations! What bugs me even more is that i'm sure it wasn't like this in Access '10, is this another "upgrade".
Access 2010. I inherited a database that I need to copy and get it ready for next year's data. There are several places in the various tables where the default value on a field is 2013. I need to change to 2014. Any vba code or macro that I can do this without opening all the tables to change the values?
View 10 Replies View RelatedMy access db is used to compile payroll time records bi weekly. The Work Hours table is used to hold two weeks of time records then they are archived to a history table. Each week has its own week ending date. I have been updating the default value of the week ending manually in the table field property in the table's design view. Is there a way to have a macro update this default value?
The current process is, open table in design view, update week ending default value, enter payroll time then change default value again for second week ending, enter payroll time. Report hours to accountant, archive table to history table.
How I might use a value selected by a user on a database opening menu (which remains open), as a default value for records created programmatically in other tables?
I wonder if I need to write a function to repeat the value - but I cannot see how to use a form value outside of the form's own code. Some of my existing code inserts values into tables using SQL converted into VBA and I do not really want to start fiddling with that - I would rather for now use the default value of the table for the field.
My variable which will change depending upon which set of records a user is working on is a string "FullAccession".
When a user creates records in a table called tblGroups, I need the string "FullAccession" to be the default value in the tblGroups.FullAccession field. A unique integer in the tblGroups is "GroupNo". "GroupNo" and "FullAccession" are joined in a unique index for tblGroups. There is a separate PK autonumber.
Is there some way to make subdatashheets default to remove/off?
Thought options/datasheet/ might have a little button that defaults subdatasheets to off but to no avail.
Using Access 2010
I shouldn't normally record calculated figures into my table. I'm willing to buck proper procedure here for ease of use for referencing in reports; also, it's just one data point that will be calculated only once and not changed.Anyhow, I have an IIF statement that calculates a total price based on a table of costs. I set this as the default value and it calculated properly - but once I set my text box to have a control source, it no longer calculates my cost.
I was hoping to set it so it calculated the cost and then write that total cost to my table.should mention that my calculated control is in a subform.
I have have a "master table" with Analyst ID and Analyst fields among other fields needed. Analyst ID is a number and Analyst will be the name of someone that corresponds to that number. I have a separate table that defines who is assigned to that particular ID.
1 Kim
2 Sarah
3 Beth
I have a form for this master table that shows Analyst ID and Analyst. I would like the default value of the Analyst field to be the name that corresponds to the Analyst ID number for the record. I would also like this same field to be a drop down on the form so that my users can change it as necessary. IE. If the record shows Analyst ID =1, the value for Analyst will show "Kim" unless changed to another analyst manually per the drop down.
I have a request from users to have a combo box in the form header defaulted to the selected object when they open the form or search on a new person (same object they want to be default). Currently it defaults to the first box in the detail section. (I hope this makes sense)
I believe I can do it with events, just wanted to know if there is a different way.
I am still new to Access code.
I was wanting to know if there is a way to Add the Username to a table as a default value when a new record is added. I know you can add =Date() to get the date. Is there a simple way to get the ID of the person logged into Window?
I want a default value to equal the first 2 characters of field [first name] and first 3 characters of field [last name] and the numeric datevalue of [DOB] 'date of birth'.

How do I get same result in Access?

Access accepted the above statement but when I input user details the default doesn't work.
I have a simple project to work on
In a field for date/time, I want to have a default value of No Shipment Date, this text for a date/time field.
I have an existing table that has calculations. When I added a new field with an default value of zero, it did not populate the existing records. Now my tables are not calculating. How can I update the existing records with the new default of zero.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI recall reading somewhere (fairly recently) about a parameter or property in Access which is "On" by default and allows a form/query to identify when backend table field names or query arguments are changed and automatically looks for and "fixes" the renamed link. By leaving this switched ON, the database is slower than it could be. The db speed performance can be can be improved significantly by switching this 'feature' off. (i.e. Name of the property)

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a combobox on my form called TypeOfBusiness, with fields including Corporation, Education, Industry, Non-Profit.

Hi Everyone,
I hope someone can help.
I have a form with a combo boxes and a table with relevant list and additional field, fldDefaultDrive (Yes/No Field).
Currently in order to set the default value, I have used the following code for each default;
Private Sub Form_Load()
Forms!frmMediaLabeller!CboDriveName.DefaultValue = """D"""
End Sub
However, I want users to be able to go into the table and change the default value if thier CD player default Drive is anything but D: Drive. I have tried to replace the D above with an SQL statement but with no success.
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim Drivename As String
Drivename = SELECT tblMediaDrive.fldDrivename FROM tblMediaDrive WHERE (((tblMediaDrive.fldDefaultDrive)=-1));
Forms!frmMediaLabeller!CboDriveName.DefaultValue = """Drivename"""
End Sub
This is definetly not working, can anybody help, I have a feeling it is syntax but not sure where? :confused:

how to change default currency in Access 2013 to a "foreign currency" (i.e. to Indonesia Rupiahs) without changing control panel (Region/Language>currency) - now setup as USA ($US)?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a database which stores information relating to club members, which I'm in the middle of giving a bit of a facelift and one thing I want to automate is the calculation of the expiry date.
My memberships expire annually at the end of December and the expiry date is set as a default value within the table properties. This has to be manually changed every September (every new member from then pays for 15 months) to the following December.
Is there a formula I can insert in the defaul value field that will return December the current year if todays date is between January and August, and December next year if todays date is between September and December?
