Hi,
A text box on my form automatically capitalizes the fist letter of a "weekday-word".
Like when I put in "sunday" this text box converts it automatically to "Sunday".
How can I avoid this?
I used the format text box in my query design to generate weekdays as text from my date field. It works great. However, I was hoping to produce some graphs where I could use those weekdays as 7 categories to plot against some other data. Now I am finding that to be a problem as the "real" format is a date and when I try to change the format in excel it creates this random number. Any suggestions on how to get around this problem. Thanks a bunch.

I have a form where I want a textbox [txtMaxOrdLimit] to be visible only if another text box on the same form [PaNumber] contains the letter D in the string. This is the code I have on the forms On Current property but I'm missing something because textbox [txtMaxOrdLimit] doesn't show on the form at all.
If Me.PaNumber = "*D" Then
Me.txtMaxOrdLimit.Visible = True
Else
Me.txtMaxOrdLimit.Visible = False
End If
I'm very new to access and i'm trying to write an input mask for a first/last name field where the first letter capitalizes automatically. Is the input mask the correct avenue and if so how do i write it? I can make the first letter caps through the > and continue but i'd like for the rest to continue on indefinitely as to not restrict the length of the field.

Is there any built-in function that will allow me to delete any text before a certain point in a record... Or perhaps a way to use the REPLACE function to do so?
All of my records look like this (They're ticker symbols):
AMZN:Amazon, Inc
WMT:Wal-Mart Inc.
A:Agilen Tech Inc
MSFT:Microsoft Inc.
I just want the company name...Unfortunately, the ticker symbols aren't always the same length, so I can't use the left or right function.
I need to delete the colon and anything to the left of the colon. I've thought of a great use of the replace function for this purpose...I used wildcards...Too bad it didn't work!
Just The Company Name: Replace([Ticker Symbol and Name],"*" & ":","")
Any ideas?
I have a form to capture client information. I would like to have the the first character of the name fields (First and Last) be automatically capitalized. How can I set the field to do this?

What can i put on a text box to limit the amount of characters entered like the 'field size' property for a table. I want to limit entry to 40 characters. Thanks in advance for any help,
M-.
like we do when we change our password, if characters are <4 or >10 then warning comes, I am making a password change button and want same thing.
I tried but could not locate any help for this. Can some body help?
Also, if put an If Text2.value = Null then
msgBox "Blank not allowed", vbcritical,"Error"
End If
While debugging I can see Null = Null but it does not give message box.
I tried everywhere in all text boxes of my db and found same thing.
i would like to make a query in ma access can extract text between first and second character "/" and when there are not "/" in field it returns null.now data in my table are like below
Quote:
No option1 1 100 2 145/Mechanical/0800 3 120/electrical/1620 4 131/mechanical/0200/dw-001
Now I like to make a query can extract text between first and second character "/" like below: No option1 discipline
Quote:
1 100 null 2 145/Mechanical/0800 Mechanical 3 120/electrical/1620 electrical 4 131/mechanical/0200/dw-001 mechanical
I have a database that I imported as a comma deliminated csv file. To keep my original text comas intact I changed all the commas to semicolons before I created the csv file and imported the data. I now have a data base with semicolons in place of the original commas.
I am trying to use the update query function to change all the semicolons back to commas in one of the database fields called File_name
I have a data entry where a record in the File_name field looks like this for example
Chevrolet cavalier; red
and I want to change it so that it looks like
Chevrolet cavalier, red
I run an update query with the criteria set as Like "*;*"
and this finds all the records which have a semicolon in them
I have set the update field to "*,*"
but all this does is to change the record from
Chevrolet cavalier; red
to
*,*
Is the query update the way to go and what is the syntax that I should be using in the Update field just to change the semicolon to a comma and leave the other text intact?
thanks Mark
I'm having trouble converting text to proper text in Access 2010 using Windows 8.1 as OS.
The message I keep getting is:
The expression you entered contains invalid syntax. You omitted an operand or operator, you entered an invalid character or comma, or you entered text without surrounding it in quotation marks.
The formula I use is:
strconv([field],3)
I am using Access 2007. I recently converted my table field from text to memo. When I run a query and report linked to the qry the memo text is displayed as Chinese character or square box (if field is empty). In some forum posts this is shown as a font bug e.g. with Calibri. I changed from Calibri to Arial as this was reported to correct the bug. It did not work.
My field is set to Grow and Shrink, and table font is Rich Text also as mentioned in other posts. Still not working out.
I have a file that I need to import on a regular basis. There are two different issues with the import:
1. the first digit in the file indicates if it is a record I want to keep. In this case a 1 indicates a repair record and an 8 indicates it is just information such as email, contact info etc.
2. I have a field in the file that may change the import specifications
For example:
If the record is a Non wheel repair then column 167 is a 50 character description
If the record is Wheel repair then column 167 is a 28 character description and the remaining 22 characters are broken down into 10 different fields
So I need to do the following
1. Read the first character in the line and determine if it is a number 1 and if not discard it
2. Read a field in column 109 that is two characters long and if it says it is a wheel repair the import will break column 167 -216 down to the appropriate 11 fields and if it is a non wheel repair it will import columns 167 - 216 as one big description field.
I have used the import specifications with Access but it seems this will have to be done in code in a module or something and I am not very good with VB. (only know the basics)
One other issue is I have dates in the file that are 130225 and 1302 (so full date and then Year/Month) if i take out the / date separator in the import spec the full date works but the Year/Month doesn't.
I am currently building a database incorporating critical events for a manufacturing process. The start date of the process triggers the expected dates for each critical event therefore I will simply add days to the start date to get the critical event date. How do I skip weekends. If the start date was on Wednesday the 5th and the first critical event was to conclude on the 3rd day after Wednesday the 5th I would like to have the critical event skip the weekend and move to Monday the 10th. I would like to do this within a query.

Hi,
I have been trying to calculate date difference not including weekends. I found this code to use in another thread, but am unsure of where to put it.
I am quite new to using access, so a detailed description would be very useful!!!
Here's the code posted:
intDaysInPeriod = DateDiff("d", StartDate, EndDate)
intSaturdays = DateDiff("ww", StartDate, EndDate, vbSaturday)
intSundays = DateDiff("ww", StartDate, EndDate, vbSunday)
intWeekDays=intDaysInPeriod - intSaturdays - intSundays
Thanks in advance!!

I have a table embedded in a form that data is entered on. The data to be entered is a project number, date, and a numerical value. I want the date to be entered only be on a Sunday. Is there a data validation rule to apply or do I need to use VBA? I do not know VBA!
View 3 Replies View Relatedsolve the following without using VBA or WeekName function.
Table 1: readers name, readers birthdate
Table 2: index, day (1-Sunday, 2-Monday etc.)
Query 1: readers name, readers birthdate, weekday of birthday (by WEEKDAY([birthdate])
Now what I need is somehow to link this query with Table 2 to give me the name of the day of birth for every reader.Actually I want to use table 2 as VLOOKUP table in Excel)
I have a table with 8 columns titled - Destination, Mon, Tues, Wed …to.. Sun. This is shown as "OriginalTable" worksheet in the attached example workbook. I want to create a new table from this original table that looks like "NewlTable" worksheet in the attached example. So I will have a new table that has 3 columns titled - Destination, Day, Weight. Weekdays will become rows so each destination will have 7 rows, one for each day of the week. The measure will be listed against each day of the week. Can someone please look at the attached example for me and help me with this.
Many thanks in advance.
Hi all.
I can complete this in excel no problem with monday through sunday being 1 -7, but is the same possible in access.
i.e. 12/03/08 = Wednesday.
Many Thanks Dean:confused:
Update:
DoW: Weekday([Calldate],0)
I have a column in my table for day of the week (Monday, Tuesday, etc.). What can I enter in the "Order By" table-property to order the records by their chronological weekdays? Additionally, is there a similar type of action I can perform within a related form?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've looked and looked and am afraid that I didn't find this because it's not possible...
The forms in my db are not the clearest, but one way of simplifying it for the users is to have them click on the calendar icon and then have a few fields automatically populate with the selected date's month, another with the year, and another with the day of the week.
Is this possible? I figured out how to have a field populated with the date, but with all of the specific queries needed, I have to do it this way...
Any thoughts? Also, is it at all possible (this is totally separate) to have an icon on the desktop that brings up a login sheet for which the entry users only see the front end, but the db admins log in and see the back end?
Thanks in advance!!

I am currently using the =Weekday([Date]) formula to show which day of the week is it, but is it possible to show the actual day not a number?
Eg instead of "1" it shows "Sunday"
Cheers
I am looking for Access VBA code to count number of Day Name in given range
E.g. March 01, 2014 to March 31, 2014
Mon = 5
Tue = 4
Wed = 4
Thu = 4
Fri = 4
Sat = 5
Sun = 5
Can I display the weekday in a label on a report? If so, how? The record source for the report has a variable "StartDate" and I want to show the day of the week (Monday, Tuesday, etc) of this date in a label.
