Telephone Number - Formatting Issue

Mar 10, 2005

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?

Telephone Number Recognition

Nov 7, 2007

Good 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.

Queries :: Telephone Number Search Area Code (STD)

Oct 27, 2013

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?

Number Formatting

Jun 28, 2007

I'm having an issue with the way my number fields are displayed on my form.

I want the number to be dislayed with 2 decimal places. I have formatted the numbers so that they are 'fixed' and specified 2 in the decimal places property but my numbers are rounding themselves down.

eg. I type 1.25 but it comes up as 1.00

Thank you in advance for your help.

Number Formatting

Jun 1, 2006

I am trying to calculate the square footage on a form. The formula I have is

(WxH)/144


For example:

W = 6.375
H = 11.5

Square footage should be 0.509115

However I am getting 632.500000


The width (W) and height (H) are formatted as double. So is the square footage. Is this not correct?

Problem With Number Formatting

Jul 10, 2005

Hi,

I have a problem with a table that has number formats setup as usual - #,##0.00;(#,##0.00) and formatted to 2dp. However when inputting say 1.58 into the table it will round to 2.00 and does not show any decimals except as .00. When I remove the number formatting and set the decimal place to Auto, or 1 the same occurs but no decimal places are showing.

Can anybody explain why this is happening? I have tried searching through the properties, etc. to no avail.

Thanks very much for your help,


Roly

General :: Change Formatting Of Number Columns?

Nov 21, 2014

Is there a way to change the formatting of a numbers column to the formatting :

1 = 0001

11 = 0011

111 = 0111

1111 = 1111

But that would have to apply to this also

1 - 2 = 0001 - 0002

11 - 22 = 0011 - 0022

111 - 222 = 0111 - 0222

1111 - 2222 = 1111 - 2222

If that makes sense ....

Tables :: Number Formatting - Comma For Thousands

Jul 15, 2013

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.

Forms :: Auto Generate File Number Based On Number Of Records In Year

Jan 21, 2014

I have a form [IUDATA]

I have a add record button.

I have a date field [DATEIN]

I have a text field [DRPNO]

If the [DPRNO] field is empty, I would like the user to have the [DPRNO] field be automatically populated after the user enters a date.

I'd like the format of [DPRNO] to be "dpr YY-XXX"

Where:
YY is the year of the [DATEIN] field and
XXX is number of records in that year.

So for example, if it was the 4th record with a 2013 date the [DPRNO] would be dpr 13-004.

Tables :: Consecutively Number Table Rows With User Determined Start Number

Jul 13, 2014

I have an Access2007/SQL Server 2012 system with 20 users for an insurance company. The company does most of its business via a network of vehicle dealers around the country. If someone comes in to buy a motorcycle, boat, or recreational vehicle at a dealership they need insurance to take it home, and our dealers send the quotes to us.

The dealers, in turn, receive payment from us each month for their efforts. Some are paid a % commission on the premium, some are paid for each quote they send regardless of whether the policy actually sells or not, and some are paid a set amount per sold policy. (Yes, that is relevant information!)

We already have reports that tally the amounts due each dealer based on their payment scheme, but last month our bookkeeper had to write about 650 checks manually because the check writing is not automated. She'd look at the report, and then enter name, address, and amount (in digits and words) into Quick Books and print the checks from there, a horribly tedious process. I've been asked to print the checks from Access. Basically one click would print all 650 checks.

I've opted to use a Make Table query to move the commissioned dealers amounts to a single location, and then to run two append queries to add the records from those paid per quote and those paid per policy. At the end of the day, one table contains all the information necessary to print the checks...except one.

The check number.

I need a way to sequentially number each record in the new table with a user generated starting point, the first check number.

By the way, the check blanks are on standard letter sized paper, three to a page, with tear-off perforations to separate them, in case that information has any relevance.

I think the best way to accomplish this is from the report itself. I've created a blank field on each record for the check number, and what seems most logical is that the sequential number is generated on print and written back to the table, rather than just generating all the numbers at once. That way, should print ever be interrupted, it will be easy to take up where we left off.

Number Fields In Text To Number Field, Formula For Fiscal Year

Nov 26, 2004

Date of Birth (DOB) field etc. in one program are text - how do I make another file with the same data into number fields for Date of Birth field etc? 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 would like formula for the fiscal year for April to be counted as month 1, May - month 2, June as month 3, July as month 4, August as month 5, Sept as month 6, October as month 7, Nov as month 8, Dec as month 9, Jan as month 10, Feb as month 11 and March as month 12.

Thank you

Reports :: Generate Number Of Rows In Report Depending On Number In Another Field

Nov 4, 2013

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.

Auto Increasing A Number, Depending On Maximum Number When Condition Is Met

Sep 18, 2006

Hi,

I'm trying to get the maximum number in a table field to increase it by one depending on the member that is selected in a drop down in a field.

I have three tables: members, programs and times. Each member can have N programs and each program can be broadcast N times.

Each member has a three digit code, like XXX. Each program has the three digit code of the member + three numbers that are supposed to auto increment. That is, the first program of member X with the member code XXX is called XXX001.

What I'm trying to do is that when a new program is filled in and I select the member, then the program code should update automatically, adding one to the latest program by that member.

That is, if the last program by member X that was inserted in the database is XXX010, then if a new program is inserted it should automatically be XXX011, even though programs by other members have been added in between.

This is the code I use now, for the AfterUpdate when selecting the member in a dropdown in the form. But although I've played around a bit, I just get error messages...

Private Sub medlemsruta_AfterUpdate()
Dim medlemskod
medlemskod = Me![medlemsruta].Column(2)

Dim strMax As String

strMax = DMax("programs_kod", "table_programs", "Left$(programs_kod, 3) = medlemskod")
Me!program_kod = Left$(strMax, 3) & Format$(Val(Right$(strMax, 3)) + 1, "000")
End Sub

Medlemsruta is a dropdown where one selects the member from the members table, where the three digit code is in the third column (Column(2)).

I'm trying to use DMax to get the maximum number for the particular member and after that adding 1 to that for the new program code.

Grateful for any advice! Thanks!
