I have a SSN field and i want it to have the dashed (I got this part down.) But when I click on the field to copy an paste it I want the dashes to disappear. I am thinking What ever the code (if any) would on in the fields onFocus event. I don't want it to copy the dashes.
View RepliesIn a table, I would like a particular field to look thusly:
xx-xx-x-x-x
My question is how do I format it so that the dashes (-) are automatically inserted when the data is keyed into the input screen. The dashes would also have to be displayed on the table.
I have been using Access for several years but always in a basic way. I have started work on an existing Members database where the Members Addresses have been pasted in from Notepad or been imported from csv or manual entry.The ones that have been manually entered are on one line. The ones that are imported from csv or pasted from Notepad are on multiple lines like you would naturally type on an envelope..In Notepad they look like this:
'Oakdale' 123 Expression Road
Name of Town
Name of County
Postcode
Sometimes the addresses have 4 lines and sometime they also have the name of a village which makes it 5 or 6 lines. When imported into Access they also view (datasheet view) in the same way with the return at the end of each line. However, I cannot enter a new address in this manner directly into Access.How can I enter the address text into a text filed and be able to format it so that it looks like the above?
I have searched many times for an answer to this but cannot find a way of explaining it that search engines understand. I first came across this 12 years ago when I worked on a massive Members database for a radio station all the addresses where formatted in the same way and had been imported through csv. When I do this the csv file marks up the text as "'Oakdale' 123 Expression Roadâ–¡Name of Townâ–¡Name of Countyâ–¡Postcode"
I have tried exporting to csv ad then importing it into GMAIL and this works fine I have also printed off labels and envelopes and all the addresses print fine too; I just don't know how to input it in that format other than pasting all addresses through a basic text file.
I am building a database to enter staff phone statistics. As an example my fields would be - Name, Date, Staffed time, Available time, Aux time and then calculated fields to show the percentage of time i.e %Aux, %Available etc.
My problem is the formatting of the times entered as they are duration not time. Say staffed time is entered as 08:00:00 for 8 hours and Aux time 03:57:21. The only format I can see to suit is date time but then Access takes these entries as 8am and 3:57am is there a way to change this to work as duration hh:mm:ss?
I am currently stuck on set focus property. I have a main from with nested subform. I am trying to move the focus from last field of the subform to another field on the main form.
Customers(mfrm)....>Addresses(sfrm)...>Orders(sfrm Add)......>OrdDetails(sfrmOrders)
Now I have a field name [Securedesign] in frmOrderdetails and I want the tab order to navigate to field [CustomerID] in frmAddresses which is a subform to frmCustomers.
-How can I address the fields on my forms? I just want to create a button that increases a value by one on click.I tried
FORMNAME.FIELDNAME = FORMNAME.FIELDNAME + 1
FIELDNAME = FIELDNAME + 1
FORMNAME!FIELDNAME = FORNAME!FIELDNAME + 1
but the button does nothing. And that is all I found by googling.
-How to focus a field at the beginning? I want to be able to start writing always in the same field.
FIELDNAME.SetFocus
does not work. I dont know if I made any mistake during creating tables and forms, but these codes should actually work, shouldnt they?
I moved the Address field from third postion to first position, so that clicking on a list box places the address from the List Box into the Address field. I adjusted the bound and source boxes and it works perfectly. The cursor now points to the Last Name field (second position, which it did originaly.) I would like the cursor to point to the Address field so as not to confuse the operator. How can this be accomplished? I am sure the correct Event code will do the tick.

Access will no longer make an MDE file. I was trying to make it so when the Phone field was clicked in the focus would be at the beginning of the field.
If I remove these lines, an MDE is possible again. I have tried it at the beginning and at the end. Any thoughts?

I am new to Access and to the forum. I made a check printing system
table name = 'burgan'
form name = 'burgan cheque'
Fields = 'PV' and 'cheque' and 'Beneficiary'
I have inserted a button (Command31).The function I would like to add on clicking the button
1. it should chose the highest value in both fields (PV and cheque)
2. Create new record
3. Increment it by 1 (both fields 'PV' and 'cheque')
4. the focus should stand on 'Beneficiary' field.
How do you set the focus on the first field in a modal form when it opens?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I have added an OLE WordPad object to a form. However, when I use the form, I cannot select/give the object focus to activate it. Even if I right click the object, it give me the correct popup menu. :confused:
I am using this object as I am having troubles with Memo fields. I use a form to update records, one field of which must be greater than 255 characters long. When I press my update button (it just runs some code to turn off warnings, run two simple update queries and the turn the warnings back on) the update process seems to complete. However, if I go to the table/refresh the form contents, only the first 512 characters are displayed and the last few are strange system characters.:confused: This occurs no matter what I do. I was tole that copy/paste operations can mess memo fields up, but I tested this by using a fresh field and typing everything in. Hence I am now trying the OLE object to get around this problem. :confused:
Any ideas peeps??
Cheers,
Matt
Right I have Windows 7 Ultimate because I am learning Russian and I have created an English Russian dictionary.
Now using Ultimate to go between English Latin alphabet and the Cyrillic alphabet you have to press ALT + SHIFT.
Its awkward and it often doesn't register first time.
Certain fields in my database use the latin alphabet while other fields use the cyrillic alphabet.
Is there a way that on focus of a field I can get the keyboard mapping to ensure that it is correct either English or Cyrillics?
Hey guys, very new to access.
I've been put in charge of setting up a database for work which stores statement and invoice information.
I'm just wondering how I can auto format a field.
I'm guessing it's in the "Validation" section.
A statement is a collective of invoices for each month.
So each March '05 Statement will contain all March '05 Invoices
Basically, what I would like it to be able to do (:)) is for the date inputed into the database, it creates it's own "statementnumber".
Eg. March '05 will create a number as 305 for example. 3 being the month, 05 being the year.
Because I need a common number to setup a relationship of One-to-Many.
Just wondering if this was possible.
Thanks guys :)

I've now since moved everything into one table but i need formatting of my calculated field (I'm new to all this).
Below are the 3 expressions working independently of one another, I just need them combined in to one if possible. As I am getting an "invalid syntax" error or "too many arguments" when I try to get it working
PHP Code:
0.5*IIf([Type]="Offlist" And [APP_LINE_OFFA]>3,1,0)+0.2*IIf([Type]="Offlist" And [APP_LINE_OFFB]>2,1,0)+
IIf([Type]="Offlist",Abs([EP_DETAILS_OFF]*0.15+[REF_DETAILS_OFF]*0.15),0)Â
PHP Code:
IIf([Type]="Onlist",Abs([EP_DETAILS_ON]*0.15+[REF_DETAILS_ON]*0.2+[GEN_NOTE_ON]*0.2+[APP_LINE_ON]*0.25+[SPEC_INS_ON]*0.2),0)Â
PHP Code:
IIf([Type]="Aged Report", Abs([EP_DETAILS_AGED]*0.2+[REF_DETAILS_AGED]*0.2+[GEN_NOTES_AGED]*0.3+[SPEC_INS_AGED]*0.3),0)Â
I am trying to make sure that my double will have a comma for thousands, but will also be able to display more than 2 decimal places (probably 4).
I am struggling with what format to use - if the number doesn't have any decimal places, the point is still put in.
#,##0.####
Examples:
23.2 = 23.2
64587.255 = 64,587.255
5000 = 5,000.
I receive information from an outside source that I put into an Access database. There is one field "Questions" that contains four separate items: Admit MD, Cardiologist, D/C Unit, D/C RN.
So, I pull the "Questions" field into my report and on my report it shows like this (one BELOW the other):
Admit MD
Cardiologist
D/C Unit
D/C RN
I would like to have this field show like this to save space on my report (one AFTER the other):
Admit MD, Cardiologist, D/C Unit, D/C RN
Is there a way to do this?? Thanks for any help.
I have a table with several records. I want to be able to give each record in the table a distinct identification number, I.E. record Number.
I want the record number to be formatted in a manner that when it is looked at it has meaning other than a series of numbers. I would like to have the record number represents the following: The first 4 numbers represent the building number; the building number is a field in the table. The next four numbers will represent a date (also a field on the table) day and month only. The last number (s) should be in sequence 1,2,3…base on the number of records.
For Example building 21 was inspected on August 23 we found 3 problems, so our primary key numbers would read 00210823001, 00210823002, 00210823002. And if we went to building 1255 on the same day a found 2 problems the primary key numbers would be 12550823001, 12550823002.
So, 1255 0823 001
1255 –building number from table field
0823 – from date field on the table (but only month and day)
001, 002…normal sequence of numbers.
Can anyone please help with this? I sure its probably simple but my Access experience is limited.
Is there a way to apply conditional formatting on a field based on the contents of another field?
For example, lets say I have the following fields
START_DATE
APPROVED_DATE
CAT#
DAYS_OPEN
The DAYS_OPEN field is automatically calculated in the query and is not a stored date.
My criteria is that if CAT# is 3, my days open should not exceed 30 but if my CAT# is 1 or 2, my days open should not exceed 60. I want to apply conditional formatting so that it turns yellow at approximately 80% of the date limit and red at approximately 90% of the date limit, otherwise the conditional formatting is green.
I know how to do conditional formatting, but no sure if it can be modified based on the content of another field.
Thanks for any suggestions.

I have a form that pulls in open project information that has a datetime field called "Duetime". What I'm attempting to do is that when this datetime field is less than 1 hour away, to turn the field background orange. Also, if less than 30 minutes to actually being past due, then it would be red.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have created a hyperlink field with the website urls in them.
What I am trying to achieve is to create another field to automatically convert the hyperlink field into a hyperlink that displays "Website" automatically for every record. I do not want users to type in the URL and then have to fill in another field to display it as 'Website'. Having both fields is important for reporting purposes and form use.
How may I achieve this? I have tried to use calculated field like: =Website# & [WebsiteURL], but to no avail.
Need to confirm whether the Default formatting option in the Conditional formatting Dialog won't work in datasheet view of a form. Please note that all conditional criteria are working fine but not the Default Formatting option - only in the Datasheet view (In Single Form view the default formatting is working fine)
View 11 Replies View RelatedI wanted to use a conditional formating when in a subform the field "Field_Name" has the value "Case Status New" and then the field "New_Value" should become orange color.
I guess it can be put togheter like a formula (expression) in the Edit Formating Rule.
