I have a table with acct numbers of various lengths, ie:
246
18
36895
352119
472
I need to run a query so that all of the acct numbers are 8 characters long with zeros as placeholders in front of the actual acct numbers, ie:
00000246
00000018
00036895
00352119
00000472
I tried using the expression NewAcctNo: 00000000+[AcctNo], but that did not fix the problem.

I've inherited a database into which the user (not me) is entering essentially the same Date data twice: field 1 contains 6/19/2014 and for field 2 they enter June-14 (the month and year from field 1).
I suspect there should be a way to derive and then reformat the display of field 2 based on the contents of field 1, such that the user only has to enter the first. Is this true? If so, how?
(I know there really is no need for the 2nd field, but existing reports and queries are built around it -- so for right now, I'm just trying to eliminate the duplicate data entry)...

I am building a database to track contract of employees so that I can know which contracts are valid and which are expired.
My table has the following fields:
ID (Primary key)
Employee ID (Foreign key to link to the employee table)
Start_Date
End_Date
Status (Either valid or expired)
Challenge
I want when I enter the end date, the system checks the end date against the current date and fills in the status field with either valid or expired as appropriate. For instance if the contract end date is March 10,2016, the status must be filled in the word valid.

I am building an Access database for a client. It is an employee staffing database. With that being said they would like the ability to automatically populate the "T2PPCD" date field based on what is entered into the "Report Date" field. (Same table)
The date is the Monday after 180 days from the report date.
I already know how to get it to auto fill 180 days from the "Report Date" but I'm not sure how to tell it to give me the Monday after 180 days.

Hi there, I got a little data transformation problem:
I have got a source table:
ID 1 2 3
1 x y z
2 xx yy zz
That I wanna transform to the following format:
ID ID2 Comment
1 1 x
1 2 y
1 3 z
2 1 xx
etc...
The problem is, that I need a routine that takes the column names of table 1 and uses them as values in table 2. So basically, every column of table 1 (1,2,3, etc.) should become a new data record in table 2.
Any ideas how to solve this?
Thanks!
Steve

I have a table with multiple rows per member that I would like to convert to 1 row per member. I have a table that looks a bit like this:
Member_IDDiagnosis
10000Hypothermia
10000Frost Bite
10001Fatigue
10001Dehydration
10001Exhaustion
99999Exhaustion
99999Hypothermia
And I'd like to convert it to this:
Member_IDDiagnosis - 1Diagnosis - 2Diagnosis - 3Diagnosis - 4
10000 HypothermiaFrost Bite
10001 Fatigue DehydrationExhaustion
99999 Exhaustion Hypothermia
The columns don't line up well but I am looking for each diagnosis to move into one of the 4 columns, depending on whether it is the first, second, third or fourth diagnosis associated with the member.

I have a make-table query that pulls all the fields from 1 table (MainTable), and creates a new table with a date stamp based apon a form value entered (New Table = MainTableWithDate).
Currently, I setup the query to pull info from the form field like this:
DateField: [Forms]![frmmain]![DateField]
However, when the make-table query is done - all date fields are blank (all other fields are correctly created), and when I look at the new created table (mainTableWIthDate), the typeassigned to the date field is "Binary" (in the form, I've specified LongDate).

I have a table which has a form as a front end. One of the fields is for the date, I put the date in fill in the rest of the form and everthing is ok. Its then time to add more info to the database under the same date, so i put in the same date on the form but instead of adding onto the existing date field it creates a new row within the table. This means I have 2 rows within the table with the same date, and all i want is one date and you add onto that date range until the next day?

I can't use Dlookup or set field in table to no duplicates because of code constraints.
EmployeeID is the PK
WorkDate is the Date Field.

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 am extracting information from a datawarehouse with a make table query. I will run this queary one time to create the table. Then I plan on creating an append queary to extract the same fields on a weekly basis. I want to keep track of the datasets that i extract weekly. I thought I could create a field with a julian date or the week of the year. Does anyone know how I could create this field in my append queary? OR any thoughts on how i can keep track of the records appended each week?

Having issues with getting auto update of Yes/No field dependant on todays date.
When users open the form the code runs through and checks all entries and updates the records if either of the dates in two separate fields is less than today. The issue I have is when some users are already using this form a second user cannot open it. Error shows other user information as having the form locked and code halts at highlighted spot below. Is there another way of ensuring this field is updated to Yes or No if the date in the field is less than current date.
Code:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Dim dbs As DAO.Database
Set dbs = CurrentDb
[Code] ....

I am new to Access and have started to move across some Excel based programs.
I have a simple example with two tables and a form where on the form a customer ID is entered which displays the name and below it is necessary to enter the total payments made by that customer for the day ( all records for the same day are entered at one time, which is why I would like to autofill the date).
I can enter the date directly on the form for each customer entry but I would like to automatically enter the required date in the payment table using the value of a datepicker on the form to ensure that no date errors are made.
I have been trying to use the expression builder to do this but the datepicker does not seem to appear as a valid option.

I need to create a New Form control for this situation:
If I enter a date into a field and the choice for another field is equal to a certain value. How can I get the date I entered to be automatically populated into another date field.
For example:
If I enter 11/10/2005 in a date field and I choose either "BN", "BA", or "BT" in a text field, I need that date of 11/10/2005 to be automatically populated in another date field on the same form.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello all
I am using Access as a front end (GUI) with a SQL 2005 database and have several linked tables. An user encountered an odd error that I cannot figure out.
He created a query that had criteria on a date. When he tries to run it the query will not do anything. If he closes out of the query and does any other operation he gets the "This Action will reset the current code in break mode." error and will have to close out access before he can do anything else.
I'm found some strange work-arounds but want to fix the problem the correct way. Attached are two examples - the first one causes the error the second one is the work-around that returns the desired results.
Any ideas?

I have a form that is based on a linked table of students eligible to complete a online survey. Within that form, I have a sub form (based on another linked table) of students who have completed the form and at what date and time.
Only about 1 in 10 eligible students complete the form.
I'd like to filter by students who have completed the form, and sort by date submitted.
So I have the main form called "students" and the subform with the date submitted is called "New - BasicInfo subform" and they are linked by student ID. The date submitted field in the subform is formatted like "5/6/2013 3:07:32 PM".
I've tried adding this to me "filter" field in the STudents form properties:
Between [Students]![New - BasicInfo subform]![05/06/2013] AND [Students]![New - BasicInfo subform]![10/01/2013]
No luck, I get syntax error missing operator.
