Apr 25, 2007I'm a total newbie in Access....is there a way to format a field in a table for a phone number so that when you put the info in it automatically puts the dashes in between the area code and such?

View RepliesGood day all.
Here is a bit on an interesting one. I am currently designing a database and I would like to connect it to an apparantly existing bit of kit available in the uk that connects a pc serial port and the users telephone line. When someone calls, it will send the telephone number of the caller (if available) through to the pc. The database can then use this telephone number to retrieve the callers details, if they are held. Does anyone happen to know what these devices are called? I have looked on google for Caller Line Identifier Hardware etc but no joy. Thanks.

I am trying to get a "formatted phone" number to appear on a "make table" query. I have revised the input mask properties to format the field to parantheses around the area code and a dash after the first three digits. The query works fine as long as I run a "Select Query" but when I change the query to a "Make Table" query, the new table does not come across with the telephone number in the correct ( )xxx-xxxx format! Using the Input Mask wizard, I've tried both options of storing the data and still get the same results. I do NOT want to have to go into this new table each time and reformat the telephone number as I'm sending the table directly to a switchboard in a different database. Any ideas on how to keep the formatted phone number intact?

What I am trying to do is i have a list of area codes connected to other data
What I want to do is do a search on a telephone number and this will check against the area codes and diaplay the required info
Example
Area info1 info2
01234 ab cd
012345 ar mc
01235 fg tr
So if I put a number like 01234567890 in the search box the result it will show is 012345 ar mc as this si the closet match to the telephone number.
I did it in excel with
=INDEX(whatwouldbedisplayed,MATCH(searchinfo,rowof data,1))
Im not to sure if this can be done as a query so would it have to be a macro?
Can anyone help me please.
I have a telephone field that has been imported from many different databases and the format is different in some cases and i need to have all of the fields the same as in 00000000000 in other words no spaces or brackets.
Some of the numbers are
(00000) 000000 or
(00000)000000 or
00000000000 or
00000 000000 and finally some are blank
I can't seem to get the code correct to achieve what I need.
Thanks

When I copy data to file that has number fields the 09252004 is changed to 9252004. Can I get reports with the correct Date of Birth in them by moving data from text file to number file?
There is data entered monthly in file and formula has been set up for January, February etc as ---quarter: Int(([month]-1)/3)+1.

I have a form where we fill in information for supply of equipment to employees.
Each item must be signed for on a printed report.
I am encountering problems trying to create enough rows in my report detail for each signature of the items supplied.
For example, on the form I will select the "equipment" - 4 hats supplied and 3 boots. On the report I want the equipment set as the group and the detail to be a number or rows which equals the number of selected items. therefore under the Hats group heading I want 4 blank rows which are made up of 3 text boxes - Print Name, Signature & Date and another group heading for boots but with 3 lines.
I have a access table with 32 columns and 42,000 rows of numbers. I need to find the MIN number in the row and if the MIN number has duplicates then I need them all placed into another column by column name.
Example:
Starting file
DEST,ORIGIN1,ORIGIN2,ORIGIN3,ORIGIN4, ETC
05512,3,2,4,2
ENDING table needed
DEST,ORIGIN1,ORIGIN2,ORIGIN3,ORIGIN4, NEWCOLUMNname
05512,3,2,4,2,2 ORIGIN2 ORIGIN4
Where the new column name contains the MIN number in the row and all of the associated duplicates column names.
I'm trying to get an invoice number field to auto generate the next number, keeping the format as "00000"...this is what I have, which gets the next number but drops the leading 0
Code:
Private Sub Customer_AfterUpdate()
If Len(Me.[InvoiceNumber] & vbNullString) = 0 Then
Me.[InvoiceNumber] = (DMax("[InvoiceNumber]", "[tblInvoiceNumber]") + 1)
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord
End If
End Sub
invoice numbers are 04024, 04025 etc...how I keep the formatiing?
I am trying to do some simple table operations. I have a field (Date) containing dates, and an empty field called Day.
I want to extract the day number from the Date field, and write it to the Day field.
I didn't get very far until I ran into trouble when setting my recordset. I get the error "Too few parameters, expected 1". Clicking "Debug", will highlight the code line "Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(sqlString, dbOpenDynaset)".
So far, my code looks as follows:
Code:
Private Sub Command16_Click()
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim sqlString As String
Dim dataDay As Byte
'Open connection to current Access database
Set db = CurrentDb()
[Code]...
I am not very familiar with the various types of recordset settings. I just want to be able to read data from the Date field, and write data to the Day field.
I need to convert my text data to a number but when I convert using the VALUE function or use "format cells" to the numbers category, I loose the leading zeros. I need to keep them for sorting purposes.
What formula do I use?
I currently import data into a table and it it has a text field which looks like this: 12,345.67 GBP...I need to use a query to make this a number field so that I can sum it's contents. I've managed to remove the 'GBP' part but can't seem to get rid of the comma?

Album ID AlbumTitle Song Rating
New
When I enter data, Album ID increases every time I jump to the next field. For example, when I enter: AlbumTitle, Song, Rating, Album ID is already at 4 and this is just the first record.
As the title says, i have an identifier field which combines two codes eg. AAAAAA/1234.
I am using a query to extract the number part, however when i try to link to another query it says 'type mismatch'.
I assume that this is because the main query is based on a table where [ShipID] is numeric and the extracted data is based upon a underlying table where [PackageID] is a text field.
Is there any way to get round this?
Many thanks
Hi,

View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I'm sure this is a dumb question, but I need to create a table with a hex number field. There's no option that I can see (Access 2003) to designate hex as a number type. Should I set it up as a text field?
Thanks.
This might be simple but I just can't figure it out.
I have a table that has a number field. Everytime I enter the number 1.50, it changes to 2. I would like to keep the 1.50. Somehow, I can't get this right. Is there a setting that I have to change? Would I need to make setting changes on the form portion also?
thanx for any help
