Predictive Text In Fields

Aug 16, 2005

I have many rows of information i am entering in access. I want to setup this spreadsheet to look at previous rows of information so when I fill one field it will automatically fill some of the other fields in the same row with the information from the rows above.

if this is not possible then I want to create a dictionary of information so if information is typed in one of the fields it will automatically populate some of the other fields on the same row.

Combine 3 Text Fields Into 1

Jul 7, 2006

Hi all,

I have been given the task of cleaning up an old db. One thing I'd like to do is combine 3 text fields into 1 new field.
In the old db there was a form that included 3 memo text boxes, when the first one was full the user then started using the second and then the third. The relating Table fields are message, overflow message & overflow message extended.

I'd like to combine the fields into 1 and then design a new form to suit so that the memo text in the new db goes into 1 field only.

Text Fields On A Report

Jun 5, 2006

Hi people,

I have a report that is linked to a data entry form. Is there a way to not show certain labels and text boxes if a text box on the form has the value "N/A"?

Something like:

Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
If txtFireType = "N/A" Then
txtFireType.Visable = False
End If
End Sub

This doesn't seem to work by the way!

Really appreciate all of your help.

Counting Text Fields

Mar 6, 2005

Can anyone tell me how to count (sum) text fields. My current query will search for:

1) Name

2) Ticket Number (ww*, beginning of one type of ticket)


And it works fine except that after running the query I have to manually add up how many of the ww tickets each person wrote. Is there a way to make it change the ww* tickets to a number, like 1, so that it can be added up or to add up by the persons name how many tickets they wrote. I'm using Access 2000.
Thanks

Conditional Text Box For Two Fields

Aug 12, 2011

I have text boxes that combine two fields into one, for example the control source is =IIf(IsNull([BuckC])=True And IsNull([BoostC])=True,"",[BuckC] & " , " & [BoostC]) . For simple its just =[Buckc] + ": "+[BoostC]. I am trying to set a condition that if one of them exceeds a certain number the background color will change to yellow. I know how to do this if its only for one field but I am wondering if it is possible to do it with multiple fields?

Concatenating Text Fields From Different Records

Jul 13, 2005

We use two different systems in our office that have notebook facilities. One of them stores only a limited number of characters in the note field per record and as such, some notes actually span several records.
The other system stores the whole note in one record.
We want to transfer all the notes from the first system (1 note over several records) to the second system (1 whole note in 1 record).
I have a table with the notes from the first sytem which looks something like
Note1 - Line1 - Text
Note1 - Line2 - Text
Note2 - Line1 - Text
Note3 - Line1 - Text
Note3 - Line2 - Text
Note3 - Line3 - Text

What I want to do is, for each note, combine the separate lines into one record.
I have been able to do this in Excel with some formulas (see attachment) but am wondering if it is possible to do this in an Access Query (i.e. GroupBy the note number and have a calculated field combining the individual lines of the note, or something similar)?

Combining First Letters Of Two Text Fields

Feb 21, 2005

In a form I can easily combine and display the content of two text fields in a third text field with the formula =[field1] & [field2]. Very well. Now I would like to combine and display only the first letter of each of the two text fields. This I would expect to go somewhat like this =(letter,1,1[field1]) & (letter,1,1[field2]). How is the correct formula?

Copy Text Fields On Form

Jan 28, 2006

Hi

I new to VBA and having a few problems with a database I'm working on.

I have a form that contains customer details. The are two sections one for the Registered Office Address and one for the Trading Office Address. I want to be able to allow the user to auto fill the Trading Office Address fields if the Trading Office is the same as the Registered Office.

I'm not sure how the event code should look. I was just going to add a button that will copy the text from the Registered Office Address fields and add them to the Trading Office Address fields. I've tried a couple of other groups but the replies just contain use this code....

TOName = ROName
TOAddress = ROAddress
etc... for all your fields.

I need a little bit more info on how the event code should look.

Any suggestions on the best code to use would be greatly appreciated.


Kind Regards

David
