I'm not sure which forum to ask this in so I've popped it in here.
I've just had to alter a couple of reports to add some calculations. These calculations can only work with a figure in certain fields, so i've altered the default setting of the fields to '0'.
Now my problem!!!!!!! This is fine for any new records generated. How do I place a '0' in the 2000 odd records already generated without manualy inputting them in???
cheers

I have a text box in Form which i need user should only enter the numbers:
E.g.: When new form appears SI [space]#### should be there and even user needs he or she can change SI to PI and enter the required data.
And the data should go as SI #### or PI #### in Table Backend. The Textbox is Unbound.
Hi,
I have a table that uses SerialNo as primary key. From time to time (its a long story...) I need to go in and update the SerialNo by adding x to it. Here's the problem: lets say the table has SerialNo's 1,2,3,4,5, and I try to add 1. I get 4 KV error's because of course, 2,3,4,5 already exist in the table. (So I would end up with 1,2,3,4,6 instead of 2,3,4,5,6.)
I really thought that Access should be smart enough to figure out that there really won't be any key violations after the updates are done, but I guess not.
So, what's the easiest way to deal with this?
Thanks for any suggestions.
I have 100 records in a table with a field that does not have a default value specified. If I specify a default value is there an easy way to have all the records updated with the new value without writing an update query?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having multiple problems with my database like things such as -
i'm currently working on the Query 2 - On the Phone database (ignore Query 1) and i want to search for multiple plot numbers preferably in one parameter prompt with a comma to seperate numbers. (this could be a multitude of numbers so i would like to be able to input as many as needed). Also when i do search on this query since the Criteria is a 'Between' Value i would expect everything between the 2 numbers input to show up - but a lot of numbers out of the range show up too - why is this? (The Numbers are like "69 to 136" and they will show up - but 1-69 and 136-170 would too
I would also like to implement the search results from Query 2 into the Form i currently have made but it just opens up a access table when the search is made?
i cannot link my database as it is too big for the server - But here are the Criteria for Query 2:
Plot No - (criteria = Between [Enter First Plot No:] And [Enter Last Plot No:])
Site - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Site:] & "*")
Product - (criteria = Like "*" & [Enter Product:] & "*"
The Query is the one im most concerned about , i can live without a form.
Ok so in excel I have some numbers that are stored as text. The reason being that they are zip codes and some begin with 0 and excel doesn't want numbers to start with 0....so when I import these into an access field that has an input mask for zip codes...will it convert these correctly since the field is a text with input mask?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have 2 fields that I would like to automate if possible
One field is called "p/o number" and another field called "line no"
These fields are part of an ordering database
Let say I have 200 items to purchase form 10 suppliers
And form example 20 items from each supplier
What I do at present is put the order number on each line item and the line number
example
p/o number line no
1 1
1 2
1 3
2 1
2 2
2 3
2 4
What I want to do is just put the first po number in the required line . Put the first line number in i.e. "1" and the macro will complete all the p/o numbers and line numbers for me as per the ones marked in red.
Example
1 1
2 2
3 3
2 1

Hi Everyone,
I hope someone can help.
I have a form with a combo boxes and a table with relevant list and additional field, fldDefaultDrive (Yes/No Field).
Currently in order to set the default value, I have used the following code for each default;
Private Sub Form_Load()
Forms!frmMediaLabeller!CboDriveName.DefaultValue = """D"""
End Sub
However, I want users to be able to go into the table and change the default value if thier CD player default Drive is anything but D: Drive. I have tried to replace the D above with an SQL statement but with no success.
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim Drivename As String
Drivename = SELECT tblMediaDrive.fldDrivename FROM tblMediaDrive WHERE (((tblMediaDrive.fldDefaultDrive)=-1));
Forms!frmMediaLabeller!CboDriveName.DefaultValue = """Drivename"""
End Sub
This is definetly not working, can anybody help, I have a feeling it is syntax but not sure where? :confused:

I have a form that has combo boxes and text fields (as well as sub forms). There is also a button linked to some code that says'
Private Sub cmdQuote_Click()
'Creates quote date and prints quote
Me.QuoteDate = Now()
Me.cbAgentID.Requery
DoCmd.OpenReport "Quote", acViewPreview, , "BookingID = " & Me.BookingID
End Sub
When the button is pressed the QuoteDate field (it is bound) should be be populated, but unfortunately it is not. I have played with refresh and requery but cannot derive a solution.
I have a table with fields like this one but the weeks go all the way up to 52. What I am trying to do is count the number of consecutive zeros and if it is more than five, count how many of the following fields have a number in them and if that number is less than the number of zeros preceding it identify that person.
For example Joe would be identified below because he had 6 consecutive zeros and then he had 5 weeks of numbers immediately following the string of zeros. Bob would not be identified because he had 5 consecutive zeros and then 5 sets of numbers immediately following the string of zeros so the zero frequency isnt higher than the number frequency immediately following.

I am trying to write a function along the lines of the following:
If Me.Text1 > 0 but < 2 Then
Something happens
Clearly the top line isnt correct, so how do I write a function like that? Thanks
My brain has locked up, I just added a field to an existing db and I need to to hold exactly 8 intergers / numbers; typically the first few numbers are 0's, but the 0 do not display; still using 97, what is the field size/format/ going to be?
Thank you in advance
Not sure if this is easy or not, I have searched the forum but am not finding what I am looking for. I need to see if there is a way, in a query to extract data specific to either even or odd numbers. So if I have a field on a table with data like this:A01AA02AA03AA04AA05AA06AI want to pull just the even or odd numbered values.Any ideas??
View 5 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to write a query where it will only capture numbers? For example, if I have the following:
"Testing transactions 11100202020 in the following order"
What I would like to do is capture the numbers that is in the middle of the sentence. I have tried using the len, left, mid, right functions in my expressions, but the sentence length may change from time to time. Is ther a way to tell access to only capture the numbers?
Thanks in advance

The database that I will be referring to in this querstion ws developed to help track interviews at a local helth care facility (dates, times, location, ethnicity, age, state etc.)
I am trying to develop a few queries to pull certain information out this database. Specifically I am trying to pull out information in NUMBER or % format. Currently I can only figure out how to pull out the information that is currently listed. For example: We have had 57 interviews come into the door this month. All of these inteviews are going to different areas and they all are of different ethnic origin and all have an age difference. When I go to query how many total interviews we have had, I am getting names and not numbers. When I try to query how many different ethnicities have been interviewed, I still get names attached to what ethnicity they are.....so on and so forth. What I would like to do is turn these names into statistics or numbers. Is there any way to query this information and get it to come out in number format? The following is an example of different metrics that I am trying to get from this database.How many total out of state interviews per monthThe number of interviews per state per monthHow many african americans interviews peer per month, how many pacific islander interviewed per month, how many hispanic interviews per month........etcHow many internal candidates iterviewed per month/How many external candidates interviewed per month.The information entered into my fields are not entered in a numercial format. They are intered as names, places, dates, times, etc....My question is can I query this information in such a way that I can generate a report that would allow me to view it in numerical formatAny help will be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you soooo much!!!!!
Hello,I am new here and new to Access.
I have started to build a database that will be for storing the results of horse races.
However my problem arises when inputting the weight a horse carries.
The weight can be input as, for example, 11.12 or 11.00 or 10.10 however whilst I have no problem with 11.12 the other two appear as 11 and 10.1 is there any way round this.
Thanks for any Help

hi,
I have a table that has results from races, eg.
Race No, Racer ID, Time taken.
i want to have a position field that will say which position the runner finished in. This is complecated as there are many different races.
At the moment the best thing ive been able to do is set up a query with a parameter on the race no. then the time taken is put in order and i have to manually put in the positions.
Manual is bad!
does any one have any idea about how i could make this automatic.
Thanx,
MAtt
Tried to search for this, maybe I am searching the wrong term.
Anyways.. I have a table linked from a large mainframe, and what I am trying to do is trim any numbers that are 1 million and over, and still keep it a number.
Currently I have this:
VEHICLE_KMS2: IIf([VEHICLE_KMS]>999999,Left([VEHICLE_KMS],6),[VEHICLE_KMS])
What I need is to have it remain as a number, seems that the left function turns it into a string value.
Thanks
I have 8 databases (A97) (don't even ask me why) they are identical.
I want to combine all the tables from them into one big table.
There are two tables 1 called Transactions and it has a transactionID (number) (parent of DetailID) and the other table is called Detail and it has a DetailID (number) (Child of TransactionID).
The problem is in all 8 databases the transactionID is an autonumber starting at 1 so I will have duplicate TransactionID & DetailID numbers. Each of the databases comes from one of eigh different "Regions" of our company and we assign Region numbers I can use as a prefix to the transID/detailID.
I tried to put a "25" (region#) in front of the one of the TransID# by using the format property in the table design and that seems to act as some sort of gost because while you can see it in datasheet view when you click on the cell the "25" disapears and all you can see is transID#1...#2....and it also gets dropped on paste append to the new combined table.
The question: is there an easy way to put a region number prefix on transID# so I can merge all 8 transaction tables together into one combined table?
Thank you
I am looking to create a make table query to eliminate some portions of numbers from a field.
i have 23899999999
I need to parse 899999999 into a new field.
Is there a formular for that. Do I use a LEN formula.

Soon I'll be starting a new DB which will be used to issue receipts to people who attend courses run by a business. I don't want or need it to be very complicated so was thinking a something like the following;
TblClient (ID,client name & address fields)
TblCourse (ID,Date, course name & Price fields)
Each client will eventually have numerous (many) Course records because they often complete more than one course, over many years.
When I issue clients with Receipts I want each receipt to have a unique receipt number.
On each receipt I will need the Client name, Price paid, date(s) & course name(s) with the unique receipt number. How can I impliment the receipt number?
Hello,
I maintain an Access database at my workplace, and have been asked to bring in information from other company locations. Unfortunately, there are conflicts; e.g. part number 12345 might be something totally different at another facility than it is here. My first instinct was pretty obviously to add a Location column and all queries would include that as well as the ID. However, someone else is telling me we should build metadata into a new part numbering convention. An example:
PlantA.12345 (all one field) would be a totally different part than
PlantB.12345
He says it would be very beneficial to ensure that, seeing only a part number, you would know where it was from. I understand his point, but it just seems like strange database design.
Has anyone done something like this, or considered it??
Thanks in advance.
