I reached the limit of 255 fields in a table. I just need to add one more field so I deleted several fields I no longer needed thinking I would then be able to add one more new field. However, I am still unable to add one more field. How to free up fields that are no longer needed?
View RepliesHey,
The database I am working on, I split a while ago to give it some security. Now i'm updating a related form, and i'm finding that if I delete and add fields in the BE, the FE fields (being the fields that I need to insert into the form so the data entered propogates to the DB) are not updated.
How do I update the FE?
Thanks.
hi all
i can do simple additions in access but i have been asked to calculate fields in different tables
all i need to do is
i have 2 tables in my database
Table 1:main_database
Table 2:Security 2_3
and i have in table 1 got 1 field called Estimated security value
and in table 2 i have 2 fields called Sec 2 estimated value and Sec 3 estimated value
all i need to do is add all of the fields together in query or field in a form
i have tried =([Estimated security value]+[Security 2 & 3]![Sec 2 estimated value])+[Security 2 & 3]![Sec 3 estimated value]
but i get '#name error
thanks in advance

I have created my tables, relationships and I have gotten halfway through my forms and I have realised that I have missed out a field in a table.
How can I go back and change this without screwing everything up (I believe that would be the best terminology to discribe an error :))?
Thanks :D
I created a form from the wizard. In the wizard, I added fields from two tables. Now, after the form is complete (and I've edited it in Design view so that it looks how I want it), I want to add another field from a third table.
Although I can add fields from the first two tables that were originally included (by clicking on the "Field List" icon and dragging fields from that list), I can't find a way to add fields from any other tables in my database. The "Field List" dialog box doesn't contain any fields from anything but the first two tables.
How to I get fields from other tables into the "Field List" dialog box?
Thanks,

I have some tables in many .mdb that I will like add or subtract fields. I will like to use VBA to do the job without using Access.03 interface.
I do remember using TableDefs object & the functions .Delete & .Append - That is right way to go is it not??
Is there a way to add fields to template tables/forms? The table will only show in datasheet view; design view isn't an option...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a totalquery that runs fine and give me the sum for both fields I'm looking for but I can't get the outputs to fill the fields on the form. I have tried the Dcount query in the control source but that just returns an error and locks up access.
Code:
SELECT [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, Sum([Tble-wcDelays].HoursDelay) AS SumOfHoursDelay
FROM [Tble-wcDelays]
GROUP BY [Tble-wcDelays].Causedby, [Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID
HAVING ((([Tble-wcDelays].LinkingID)=[Forms]![Frm-ePlusCent]![cleanID]));
That is the query.
I am a beginner in access and I want to populate a new field (REPUN_1 which corresponds to SEGMT_ID in the other table) in my table and this field is coming from another table. The values of the fields need to correspond to the row of my actual table (JMTable) having the same CO_ID, MOVEPLANCD and TTY_NO as the table I want to extract the values from (DI_Treaty_Crosswalk).
Here is my query:
UPDATE JMTable SET [REPUN_1] = DI_Treaty_Crosswalk.SEGMT_ID WHERE JMTable.TTY_NO = DI_Treaty_Crosswalk.TTY_NO AND JMTable.CO_ID = DI_Treaty_Crosswalk.CO_ID AND JMTable.MOVEPLANCD = DI_Treaty_Crosswalk.MOVE_PLAN_CD
and it doesn't work since access ask me to enter a parameter value.
I am creating a table in access 2010 for my consumable and bench stock report. I made a 12 fields which I name it the month of the year and another 1 field to add the total disburse materials in one whole year. I did this formula to add the 12 fields
[Jan]+[Feb]+[Mar]+[Apr]+[May]+[Jun]+[Jul]+[Aug]+[Sept]+[Oct]+[Nov]+[Dec].
But the problem is its just adding the complete consecutive months that I disburse and the row with blank section the total disburse doesn't show on the total disburse for the whole year. I try to use the code =Nz([Total Disburse],0) but it shows on the screen i cannot be used in calculated column.
Hi,
My database has 4 tables. Table 1 is assembly line 1 data. Table 2 is the sizes for assembly line 1. Table 3 is assembly line 3 data. Table 4 is the sizes for assembly line 2.
The table data comes from another program - they are reimported regularly and so I cannot change, add or delete fields from these 4 tables.
I have to change tables 2 and 4 to crosstab queries and then create 2 queries that join 1+2, 3+4. That's easy enough, no problem.
But then I have to UNION queries 1+2. While 95% of the fields are the same, the most crucial are not - the sizes. Assembly line 1 has 5 less sizes than assembly line 2. I need ALL of the sizes to show in the combined query.
I need to add these 5 fields without adding them to the tables. I did manage to create a crosstab query that included the missing sizes, but now I have a 1 in those fields where I need a NULL or Zero value.
Does that make sense? Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am creating a small database to house results of certain tests. Is there a function in access that allows me to add fields if a result is out of the specification required. In other words I still need to record the out of spec results but I also need more fields to appear for the next lot of results to be entered, for example.
When cooking a batch of product I need to test the pH at the 30 minute mark if the pH is too low I will continue cooking the product for another 30 minutes and then test the product again. The cook time is not a constant so I never know how many samples are required, therefore I don't know how many fields i would need in advanced.
Some of my collegues have been experiencing this problem with a very simple database i knocked up for them. First off some background. I have a main form (frmproperty) with 3 subforms linked to it(frmroomdata, frmlocation and frmsample). by a property code. Two of these subforms are linked (frmlocation and frmsample) these are linked by location code which is an autonumber.
These are laid out so that you fill in room data first, then location data then finally sample data. However after the location data has been filled out and a user attempts to move to the first combobox on the sample subform a message pops up saying that another user has altered the database and would you like to save changes (Impossible as they are using the database on a local drive). After this happens they reopen the form and in all the frmsample fields is "#deleted"
This doesn't happen every time...infact over the last 2 days i have been entering data myself to try and get this error with no luck. Has anyone else come across this and know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance

For anyone that might be able to help me out, I'd very much appreciate it, as this is now number 2 stupid workaround that I'd like to resolve before I need counselling...;)
I have a Date/Time field that I'm importing into my database via .csv files. The field is setup like the example below in every .csv file:
4/2/2007 8:30:00 AM
Access keeps throwing errors and deleting all the field values in this field whenever I try to import. I know that Access does this when a Date/Time field includes data that is not delimited, but these field values seem to be perfectly formatted to me... what can I do to stop Access from chucking these on import?
Right now I'm just importing the data into a "text" field, and then changing it to "date/time" afterwards, but I'm worried that once the table gets too long I won't be able to re-index all those records anymore and my database will be useless since it depends on that field being "date/time" format...
All those better than I feel free to show me how and where I've been stupid:D
On a data entry form bound to a single table, there is a subform displaying all the records in the source table.If the user accidentally adds a record that they didn't mean to add (or if I add a record to test the form's functionality), and then right-click and delete the record, "#Deleted" appears in all the input controls.
View 5 Replies View RelatedBasically in my order details table i have the following fields
Product
Unit
Size
At the moment i have the Product field with a dropdown that gives me all the products from my ProductT. But once i choose the correct product in the unit field it gives me all the possibilities of every product not just the units associated with that product. ie
ProductT
Grasshopper Box1000 Adult
Grasshopper Box1000 Subadult
Worm 10pz Big
When I select the grasshopper product and move on to the unit field i also get "10pz" option but this is not a product available.
How do i set up validation of the fields Unit and size based on another fields data?

I need to add new fields to and existing form. I have added the fields to the table the form is based on. When I am in design view for the form I open the fields icon to add the fields but the fields are not showing up. How can I get the fields to show up so they can be added to the form?

My company has a microsoft access table with about 1200 IDs containing names, addresses etc.
Now I want to print this out in an excel sheet because I want to create address stickers, but I want every cell in the excell sheet to add information about the columns in the database together. I might be very unclear, let me demonstrate what I mean:
The Acess file might look like this:
id | name | address
1 | john | Street 01
2 | sara | Street 02
Now I want to have 2 excell cells which contain the information like this:
name_address
name_address
In my example, 2 cells with the following information:
john Street 01
sara Street 02
So I dont want 4 cells, I want to add the information together from 1 Id to 1 cell, but I also want to add linebreaks to it, It must eventually become an address sticker
How can this be done?
Hello, I have what I believe to be a very basic, albeit wordy question regarding an Access based mailing list that I am designing. For the scope of this project, I have 7 fields: Position (the position of the person recieveing the mailer, So far all I have is the "Principal", these are all schools) Name (The name of the school), Address, City, State, Zip and SchoolID (this is the primary key and will be hidden)
My question is: How can I add multiple positions per School (Name)? I need to add 1st through 6th grade teachers as well as the councilor to each location. So each of these people will be sent a mailer. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to ask any questions needed.
Thank you
His is itpossible to make abutton in access and then assign a equation to it to add the dat in two of the fields together, for example adding the "stock level" and the "re-order level together? ifso could some please tell me how greatly appreciated cheers

Hi,
I have tried to add up fields in a table but am struggling to get it to work. Can anyone help please.
In design view of tables, I have four fields (that I will be using in a a form eventually);
RaffleIncome
AlmsIncome
OtherIncome
TotalIncome
I want to get the TotalIncome field to automatically be the total sum of any or all of the other three.
I have tried putting =[RaffleIncome]+[Almsincome]+OtherIncome} in the control box of the TotalIncome field (a guess) in a form I made, and it gives me the total sum of the others three but does not save when I look at it in the table view. (that is, the TotalIncome column remains £0.00)
I am learning as I go along and am okay figuring some stuff out, but this has got me a bit frustrated, and I guess I cannot see the wood for the trees !
Thanks anyone

All,
I am using an Make-Table query to add many new fields to a Table using Fieldname: "".
However, when I use this, it sets the Allow Zero Length to No.
Is there code that I can use to stop this happening?
I am using this method for multiple fields and across multiple tables.
Your help appreciated,
Jem
