Tables :: Import Excel File Set Up - Field Has Lead Space
Jul 22, 2014I'm trying to set up an import of an Excel file. One field in Excel, "Sales Tax" has a lead space, so " Sales Tax" is its Excel name. Since I can't name a field in Access starting with a space, the only way I know to import properly is to manually remove the space from the Excel file. While this isn't actually that difficult, I'm trying to avoid this manual step if possible.
View 9 Replies View RelatedTables :: Saving ONE TIME Calculation To Table
Nov 12, 2012Access 2003. I am trying to save a calculated field (Item No) from a form to the accosiated field within the Products table
I have a hidden text box (itemNo) which is bound to the relevant field and a second text box with the following formula
="TV-" & Left(CatShort.column(1),3) & "-" & Format([ProductID],"0000") as its source
What I am trying to do is to provide an item number for each item of stock based on the Category short name (Catshort) and the incremented item ID Number, with a TV prefix.
I am aware that its a bad itea to place calculated field into the table if the calculation is likely to change, however once my calculation is stored it has no need to change.
I have tried the beforeUpdate method within the ItemNo textbox
Private Sub ItemNo_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Me!ItemNo = Me!ItemCalc
End Sub
but nothing happens (in that the table is not updated)
Any way of putting together an incremental item number based on the selected category with a "TV" prefix....

Space Character In A Field
Oct 12, 2005Hi!
I have a field that has to be 20 Characters long. Most of the time data for this field is less than 20 characters, so the remaining has to be filled with spaces to make it 20. e.g. if there is a record xyz1234567, then the rest of the record should have 10 spaces like xyz1234567ssssssssss, meaning if i click on this record then the cursor should not blink after 7 but after the spaces. Hope I am making sense.
Thanks for any input.

Delete Space In Text Field
Dec 5, 2007In my Dbase, I have a table with a text field. Field name is Country
There are over 5000 records in the table and many of these in the Country field start with a space. I would like to get rid of this space as to ensure that all text starts with a character, rather than a space.
How can I achieve this.
Export A Field With Varying Space
Dec 4, 2007I have a query that I export to a text file with fixed width settings.
For one particular field that had only been one character and 5 spaces I used PGM: " " & [ProgramCode] for my field. The recipient of the export file requires that this field be 6 spaces long and leading spaces fill in any unused field.
Now, one of the records for this field will be 2 character so the way it is now will cut off the leading character. How can I write this to add leading spaces until it reaches 6?

Reports :: Eliminating A Space In Combined Field
Sep 4, 2014I use several fields to capture a name: LName, FName, MI and Suffix.
In a report I combine the fields.
=[LName] & " " & [Suffix] & ", " & [FName] & " " & [MI]
This works fine if there is a suffix; however, without a suffix I have an extra space.
What is the "work around" to eliminate the space.
Access Inserting A Space In Memo Field
Apr 15, 2015I like to store SQL code as a memo field in a table. I then use a form to collect selection criteria from the user, and this is used to create a 'WHERE' clause which is then appended to the stored SQL. This has always worked, but in one recent case the SQL failed. On examination I discovered that although the SQL is correctly stored in the memo field, when Access retrieves the code it inserts a space character in the middle of one of the words, thereby of course creating an invalid SQL string. It's easy to work around it, but why this happens? A bug in Access?
View 1 Replies View RelatedTables :: Auto-populate Table Field From Calculated Field In Another Table?
Jan 15, 2015I am creating a database to keep up with the expenses for my art business. I have a table for Vendors with a field (Mileage) for one-way mileage that I enter manually (EX: 11.8 miles). Then I have a calculated field that basically just multiplies the Mileage field times two to get total mileage to and from my house to vendor location. (Total Miles) {The reason I want to do this this way right now is because I didn't keep up with my mileage this year and I am having to look up the distance from my home to each location)
Then I have a "supplies" table where I show the date, the vendor, the item, cost, etc, and I want to add a Total Mileage field based on the calculated Total Miles field in the Vendors table that will automatically populate based on the vendor of each transaction. I just can't remember how to make this work and I know just enough SQL to be dangerous.
Tables :: Update A Field In One Table Based On Status Of A Field In Another Table
Aug 2, 2013I have started work on a database to track the many (several hundred per annum) projects my company undertakes. A 'main' table lists projects, their fees, their key dates, their project numbers, etc. I have created another table for tasks. Each task is assigned to a project (via the project number), and may be 'open' or 'closed'. I have separated the tasks table from the projects table as there may be several different tasks for each project. It is also good to keep a record of the tasks.
I want to prepare a report from the projects table that lists projects IF they have any open tasks.
In my mind, this means 'If a task, with the corresponding project number, is open, put a 'Yes' in the 'Tasks open' field of the Projects table.'

Tables :: Saving Data To Related Tables?
Sep 27, 2012I have a built a database to record and collate info about clinical trials that are run within my department. I have one large table [Trial Info] which contains all trial info and have created a second and third table [Milestones] & [Comments] to collect dates of various milestones and a notes that occur throughout the course of a study.
The milestones (dates) are recorded in the 2nd table and the comments are recorded in the 3rd table.
All data is entered by staff on forms. The first form captures basic info about the study, once this has been entered, the idea is to click a button to open the second form to document the trial milestones, this form also contains a subform for listing any free text comments required during the life of the study which are stored in the 3rd table.
I have setup the relationships between tables as best I can.
The main table with basic trial info is the parent table, linking the primary key to the foreign key in the second table, the foreign key of the third table is related to the primary key in the second table so these tables should be looking up the correct clinical trial as far as I can tell.
The form containing data from the main table has a button which I have set to open the Milestones & Comments form, and I have set this to open to the record that relates to the record in view in the primary form. The primary key is related to the foreign look-up key in the milestones table.
This opens the form fine, however this is not updating the foreign look-up key, this remains '0' which I assume is the cause of the following error when I try to save changes to the record
Quote:
You cannot add or change a record because a related record is require in table 'Trial Info'
How do I trigger the foreign key to update to the primary key so that the first time a milestone page is opened for a new study it creates a matching record?
Import CSV File - Field With Numbers Containing Thousand Space Separator
Aug 12, 2014Any way to import a file containing numbers with a "thousand space separator"
example :
1 000
2 000
3 000
4 000 000

Only workaround I found so far is to import de numbers into a text field in a temp table, do an update query to remove the spaces and then transfert the data into the real table that has a numeric field.

Tables :: Autopopulation Of Field From Another Table Based On Another Field Criteria
Dec 5, 2012I have a main table which is autonumbered on unitid, I have another table which is linked via the unitid which holds items purchased for the main table, so the second table is a subform of the suppliers and will have multiple entries of the same unitid. What I would like to do is when an item is entered into the second table, check the main table to see if it exists, if it does populate the unitid field with the unitid from the main table, and if not exist create a new record in the main table with the next unitid number.
This in essence is what I want, bearing in mind that the tblinvoices is a subform and the tblmain is not open.
If ([tblinvoices]![Unit] = [tblmain]![Unit]) Then
[tblinvoices]![UnitID] = [tblinvoices]![UnitID]
End If
Deleting And Saving In Tables From Form
Oct 17, 2005I am trying to make a database for a shop which can do several things:
1) I want to give in what is being bought by the shop to make their products form. This has to be saved in a table named STOCK.
2) I want to be able if I say in a form that from these things I made that product that these things dissapear from the STOCK table and that the final product is added to the STOCK.
3) If the final product is solled I want to remove it from stock.
In the end if I want to see what is still in the stock I will only have the things that are still there because the rest is removed.
How can I do this??
Thanks for your answer
Lookup Tables Not Saving Information
Dec 8, 2005Hi ppl,
Anyone who thinks that they may be able to help me, there is a copy of the database at :
http://members.iinet.net.au/~a.beardsley/database/StaffProLearning.mdb
Here is my problem, as you will see. In the from called frmStaff, I have created 2 lookup tables that work fine in the main form. In the subform under activites though, I have attempted to create a lookup form for Name and Location of activities. It does not appear to be storing the information from previous entries though. My aim is so that when someone goes to enter a new activity name or location, the data will be saved and be in the list for the lookup next time with a different entry, however, it does not appear to be storing the information in the appropriate table. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Regards,
