Designing a table of companies.
Need a field containing the website adresse for each company.
MS-Access 2013 does not offer such a field format.
On a form I can create it, click on it and it will open the website.
But that way it opens the same website instead of different websites for different companies.
I tried the hyperlink format but it did not work.
Hi - I am importing information into my database of customers names and addresses. The country part of the address comes in 2 letter code - eg AU = Australia, IT = Italy etc. What I would like is to change these to the actual country name. Is there a neat way of doing this? I am thinking doing a whole line of if then, but it all looks really messy.
Thanks
Fiona
The first part of the request is to capitalise all the below fields, when they appear on my report in addition to removing any <null> values. I can't seem to get them both in the format area
my fields are
Title
Fname
Sname
Address1
Address2
Address3
Town
Postal
I need to send the report using DoCmd.SendObject. However, I need to send it based on each tech's job via email.
Currently all tech and jobs on the reports together. I need it to pull the email address and only send to that tech its jobs.
Currently I'm using the basic vba code
DoCmd.SendObject acSendReport, "R_DispatchInspectors", acFormatPDF, "email@me.com", , , "Job number", "Please see attached", False
However do I allows this to send individual report connected to email address. (Which will have each tech's specific jobs sent to them only).
table name: Inspectors (this one have their email address)
Table name: JObs
Report name: R_DispatchInspectors
I would like to format the AutoNumber field so that it shows the current year - #...i.e. 2012-01.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have the following input mask for a certain field in an ACCESS 2010 table : 00-000-a-a-a;0;-
It works fine. That is when I tab down to it and if I know that the format is : xx-xxx-x-x-x
but if someone does not know the format , things can be out of position.how do I code the field such that the format (xx-xxx-x-x-x) is displayed in the input field awaiting the actual keying of the data?
I have a table which will contain project information, and want the ID field, which auto assigns a unique number to each record, to be formatted like this P12-001, where 12 = the last two digits of the year the record was created. I know that if I type into the format field "P"00"-"000 i get the ID number in the format I want, but cannot figure how to get the first two zeros, to be the date format.
Further, I would like the ID numbers to restart from 1 each year, so this year this first project, P12-001 and may run through to P12-063, then the first project I enter next year to start P13-001.
Hi
I wonder if anybody can help with this problem.
I am setting up a basic contact list, with 3 tables - contact, address and company.
What I want to do is be able to add numerous addresses to the company table/form. Then, when I add a contact, I can go to the contact form and select an existing address from a drop down (from the address table), this will then assign this address to the contact, as well as showing this contacts name on company screen.
I have got this working as far as having a drop down of company names on the contacts screen but I can't work out how I can get the address to show on the contact screen when I select a company name from a drop down list?
I have spent ages on this, and its driving me mad, please can somebody hep?
I think i might need to sort out the relationships, but am getting very confused.
Apologies if this is straightfoward - but would really appreciate any suggestions.
Please help!
Thanks

I wanted to assign the field "Number of magazine" with special format based on date/time format but showing only year and month in the format: "yyyy-mm".
So in property of this field in format I put yyyy-mm and in input mask I type 0000-00;;-
I also created the form based on the table containing above field and I defined format and input mask for corresponding formant in the same way like at the table.
But if I try to type date for example 2014-01 in text box of the form it comes up with the full date 2014-01-01. Why does it do like this? What do I do incorrectly?
I have a form where the user puts in a email address, eg test @ myserver.net
So the link opens a new mail it has to be prefixed by mailto:
How can I automatically replace the address the user enters with the format mailto:test@myserver.net
-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?
Hope you can help!
I have an access table which lists a customers address, however, if the customer has a temporary address it will also list that on a separate line -
CustID Address Type
1234 5 The Street P
1234 12 The Street T
2345 13 The Road P
3456 12 The Avenue P
Where P = Permanent and T = Temporary
I want to set up a query to show the permanent address where there is only one address, but where the customer has a temporary address also, I want to list the temporary one instead.
Thanks
I am new to Access and i send an email to my user's to input the data to their email address.

Hi,
I have an address field currently formatted 1 Streetname, city, post/zip code it is displayed on a form within a multi-line textbox. I'd like to change the commas to a line return so it will display
1 streetname
city
postcode
I was thinking that a small macro might go through each record and change the comma to a line return? But not sure where to start exactly?
many thanks in advance. Harry
If I have a set of address fields looked up by a customer ID number, how can I get acess to copy them into a shipping address field, which can allow the address to be altered if delivery is needed to an address which differs from the billing address?
The example I have seen is in the Northwind sample database on access but I cannot see how to replciate this in my database. I have the shipaddress shipcity etc in the orders relation and the customer as usual in the customer relation.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I need to modify my customer table to cater for multiple names at one address.
Should I move all the addresses into their own separate table or leave them as is (name-Address-postcode- email etc in one table) and put the additional addressees into a separate table or is there a better way I have not thought of.
Hi,
I am nearing the endgame of a FE/BE app. The FE will sit on various PC's across a LAN. IS there a way that when a user opens a record (via a form) on his FE (on his PC), the IP addy of that PC will be automatically entered into a hidden field on the form and store it in a purpose specific field on the BE table.
So I guess my question is how do I get the IP into a field on a table? Either "default" in the table, or via a field on a form? And what would the syntax for such an auto-populate be?
Thanks

I am a struggling low level user and any help will be appreciated. I’m trying to get data out of an old database and into a new one. The following addresses will give you some idea as to what my problem is. :confused:
I would like to break up the following single field address (Note the different pieces of data.
Washington Blvd 1407
Jefferson ST 234 N
Benjamin Ave 2105 N #1
Lincoln Cir 1407 N Unit 201 (Notice the space after Unit)
and have it look like this
Field one: 1421
Field two: N,S,E or W
Field three: BENJAMIN ST, Ave, or etc
Field four: Anything left over
If you can help, please talk very slow and loud cus I'm old and not too bright. I have limited experience with Instr, Mid, Left and Right functions, but can never seem to get them to work in a SQL statement I think I need to use multiple append queries but I’m guessing and then how do I get all the pieces into one table. :o
Thank you in advance

I created a report to print out a letter that will be sent to all of our clients. In the address section of the letter there are two field for adresses...Address1 and Address2. One is for a street address and the other for a PO Box. Not all of the clients have a PO Box and for these, I do not want the blank line to show in the address. For example:
John Doe
3 Main Street
Franklin, MA 02038
The field and section of the report are set to "can shrink" and "can grow", but it still gives me a blank line in the address for the clients that do not have a PO Box. What else do I have to do?
I have a form bound to a table which stores contact info for a person. I have two controls that are email_address and website_address. I set them both as hyperlinks.
So now when the user clicks on the email_address Outlook opens a new message with an email_address in the To field. (I had to use a function found on this forum to replace the "htttp" with "mailto" on AfterUpdate event in order for this to work properly.) However, now trying to add some other features to my DB I ran into problems listed below. I wonder if I should have rather left that control as Text instead of Hyperlink, and use the DoCmd.SendObject on doubleclick event instead of using the above solution.
How people usually store email addresses and enable emailing on click?
The problems I ran into:
1) My main form is in popup mode and therefore right click on the hyperlink does not give an option to edit the hyperlink
2) I copied a function from this forum which gathers a list of emails and sends one message to the emaillist. However, my email list instead of generating as:
email1@a.com; email2@b.com
it generates as:
email1@a.com#mailto:email1@a.com#; email2@b.com#email2@b.com#
I guess I could extract the email using vba (not sure how), but I still don't know how to solve issue number 1. So maybe it is better to siwtch the field to plain text and forget the hyperlinks?
Thanks,
Mariusz
PS. What procedure on double click would open a default browser, since I also have to deal with web addresses and thought of turning them into text controls?
I have vba code set up to automate a query output to email with outlook. I am having issues with the "TO" field. I have tried different types of code, such as the following:
1) MyMail.To = MailList.Fields("EmailAddress")
2) MyMail.To = MailList.Fields("EmailAddress") & ";"
Both of these work, but the issue I am having is the "TO" field in the outlook message looks like this:
admin@blahblah#mailto:admin@blahblah#
Why my code is adding the email address twice, I need to get rid of the #mailto:admin@blahblah# but I do not know how or why it keeps adding that end part.
Have a continuous form with 2 date fields in each record .
If dateField1 is empty ,Then I want a way to make DateField2 Take its Place .
I know how to make things happen with conditional formatting on one field by UsingIsNull ,I have tried sending datefield2 to back.But cant work out how to bring it to front If DateField1 IsNull.
Embarrasing question, but my serches have proved fruitless.
Saving a Date field (Short Date) is saving as 1/02/2008 or 27/02/2008 in the table. Formatting this data in a query as dd/mm/yyyy displays correctly, but the mid function mid([Date],4,2) still picks up the table format, not the query format
My objective is to extract the 02 (month) using the mid function in a query. Beacuase the length of the day component varies from 1 to 2 characters, this is proving impossible
Is there a way to save the date as 02/02/2008 in the table?
Tried using input mask dd/mm/yyyy but kept getting invalid format error
Any help appreciated
