Queries :: Pull Data From Fields That Have Values With Decimal Places
May 9, 2013I have a query that pull data from hours worked fields that have values with decimal places. Hours is multiplied to rates to create my amount to charge in my query which is then displayed on my invoice report.
The issue is that when I sum my amount, my subtotal is off by $.01 due to the decimals entered for the hours worked (e.g. hours worked is 1.5*32.75=49.125)
I need the rounding to work in the query and display on my report as $49.13 and the subtotal to reflect it. I have the properties in my table as double with decimal place at 2, and my query and report properties with decimal place at 2 as well. It still isn't working.

Validating
May 3, 2006I have a form that creates quotes for my company by inputting inventory items in a continuous subform. I need to be able to check and see if the item already exists in the inventory or if it is a new one that has been manually entered, and have this toggle a bound yes/no field that I will use to control whether or not some fields on the form are locked. Here is the code I have been using, but it doesn't seem to work at all.
Private Sub Combo14_AfterUpdate()
Dim itemcheck As Integer
itemcheck = DCount("[Item]", "tbItems", "[Item] = " & Chr(34) & Me![Item] & Chr(34))
If itemcheck = "0" Then
Me![Locked] = False
Else
Me![Locked] = True
End If
End Sub
I would appreciate anyone's feedback on this.

Nov 15, 2006Hello all.
I'm having a problem with a query. I am pulling information from a table that holds demographic info plus some company info. the data in question is the deptno of an employee. This employee also has a jobcode associated with it. I have another table with a list of a few jobcodes.
The data I will retrieve is fname, lname and deptno. If a person is in detno 210 then I want to check his jobcode in the jobcode table. If it is in the table then I want it to return 215 for a deptno. If not then it will return 210.
Does anyone know how this query would look like?
Thanks in advance.
Validating Data
May 10, 2005I have taken over a database that has be modified by a number of people over time. I have a forw with tab controls and a some of the fields are critical to be completed before you should be able to progress to the next tab. There are currently validation controls on the controls on the first tab, but if you only complete the first of these controls it is possible to move on to the second tab. The third tab is a subform and and if you try and select this tab, the validation text appears, but you can still switch to that tab which I want to prevent.
Finally, I have deleted one of the controls which was a critical field for completeion. I had assumed the validation was based on the validation on the control and would therefore be deleted but I still get a message saying complete this. I can't work out where there miight be code to make this happen? I'm not sure if anyone can help me with this without seeing the database, but I just wondered if anyone had any ideas what to even look for to help me understand this.
Sorry if all this is a bit vague, but would really grateful if anyone can help me at all.
Validating A Dropdown
Oct 25, 2005Question I am looking at some annoying Access database for a charity and got stuck on trying to make something work that they believe used to
Two Tables
Venues
pK Venue ID
Venue Name
Venue Capacity
Booking
pK
Venue
Name
Addr1
Addr2
Addr3
Ect
They have a query call capacity check which does the following
Count Occurrences of Venues then takes this away from venue capacity
Essentially they have a standard access form of the Booking table with a drop down box and want it to only validate if seats are still free at a venue eg if the current count for venue is less than the venue capacity.
Any ideas ?

Validating New Records
May 4, 2006I have a NEW INVOICE button, and the code behind says
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Now if a user clicks on this buttons 3 times, three blank records get inserted in the table. THis is because I am generating teh invoice number myself, and the invoice_date is defaulted to current date (DATE())
The script written in the Sub Form_BeforeUpdate event to validate if the invoice is empty, if the total is ZERO etc. is all skipped, and I get blank records in the table. I even tried to place breakpoints in the before updates script, but it does not even come inside.
What is the right way to trap data errors, blank records in this situation?
Please help.
Thanks,

Validating An I.P. Entry
Jul 26, 2006Hey,
I've been looking at this website (http://learning.north.londonmet.ac.uk/ib212/week7/validation.htm) and i'm trying to find an input mask that lets a user enter in an I.P. address like the IP settings in Network Connection > Properties > TCP/IP > Properties.
E.g. a user enters 19216802. I want this converted to 192.168.0.2 without the user having to enter any '.'
So far this is the closest i've gotten to validating the field
0##.0##.0##.0## whereas 0 means something has to be entered and the # are optional.
Thanks,

Validating IP Entries
Jul 28, 2006Hey,
In a form I am trying to complete, I want the user to be able to enter in an IP address like so

Would convert to - 192.168.0.1
Is there an input mask which allows this to happen?
Thanks.

Validating Email Addresses
Mar 25, 2008Hi
I have a large file where I am trying to clean up the data.
One of the fields is the email address.
I want to check if the email address has something followed by an @ symbol followed by something else. If it does not, then I want to replace it with a null value.
Can you help?
I thought that I could use the wildcard features such as <>*@* but this does not appear to be working.

Validating Phone Numbers
Mar 25, 2008Hi
I am trying to work with a large table of customer data.
I know that there is a large number of invalid values.
I would like to run a make table query that would check the phone number against a table of known invalid numbers (e.g. 1234567, 11111111, 99999999, etc).
If the number exists on the invalid table, then I would like to replace it with a null value.

Validating Data On Exit
Sep 10, 2006I'm trying to figure out how to validate a field to make sure the users are not entering any blank spaces into the field. I've tried setting the mask up as "aaaaaa" but it still lets the user enter a blank space.
I've also tried building an event procedure to run on exit that reads:
Private Sub Barcode_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
Dim LPos As Integer
Dim LChar As String
Dim LValid_Values As String
'Start at first character in Barcode
LPos = 1
'Set up values that are considered to be alphanumeric
LValid_Values = " abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWX YZ+-.0123456789"
'Test each character in Barcode
While LPos <= Len(pValue)
'Single character in Barcode
LChar = Mid(pValue, LPos, 1)
'If character is not alphanumeric, return FALSE
If InStr(LValid_Values, LChar) = 0 Then
AlphaNumeric = False
Exit Function
End If
'Increment counter
LPos = LPos + 1
Wend
'Value is alphanumeric, return TRUE
AlphaNumeric = True
If AlphaNumberic = False Then
MsgBox "Barcode cannot contain blank spaces, only letters and numbers.", vbExclamation, "Barcode Field Value"
Else
End Sub
****
However the message box does not come up and the form will not then let you get out of that field.
Any ideas? I've been checking on this field by running a query and then manually correcting the errors but I would rather that the DB check and force correction at the time the data is entered.
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Validating A Field In Access
Oct 27, 2004I have two tables in an Access Database- One is the chart of accounts, and the other is the actual entries, with the common field being ID. Chart of accounts is set up something like this-
ID Description
1000 Customer Revenue
2000 Office Expenses
2100 Paper
That kind of thing. Anyway, I want to set up the ID field in the entries table so that it is basically a pull down box that only allows you to enter one of the IDs listed in the Chart of Accounts. Any way to do this? I'd really hate to have to write a quick separate program to do this.
Validating Dates On Forms
Mar 12, 2005Here is the code I have in a module. When I put the correct dates in, the message box appears telling me that the date is incorrect, but I have checked and the closing date appears to be later that the date for completion.
When I accept the error message I get a runtime error 2115 saying that the database engine is being prevented form saving the data to the table.
Can anyone offer some help as to my problem here?
The code:
Private Sub txtbx_Date_Closed_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
'Declaring the variables
Dim Completed As String
Dim Closed As String
'Assigning values to the variables
Completed = "txtbx_Date_Completed"
Closed = "txtbx_Date Closed"
'Checking to see if there is no completed date
If IsNull(Completed) Then
MsgBox "The action must be completed prior to being closed"
Me![txtbx_Date_Closed] = Null
Exit Sub
'Validating the closing date
ElseIf Closed < Completed Then
MsgBox "The closing date cannot be before completion date"
Me![txtbx_Date Closed] = Null
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub
General :: Validating Two Fields Against Each Other?
Oct 9, 2013I am trying to validate two fields in a form against each other. Neither are required, but If one is filled in, then the other must be filled in. If neither is filled in then they can both be blank. It is for a time, and description related to that time.
So if they enter in 5 hours, they have to type in the description field describing those 5 hours. If they type in the description field, they have to type in the hours. Vice versa. Or they can both be blank.
Right now I put in the table properties validation rule
([Other Description In] Is Null) Or ([Other Time In]>0)
This works half way. It stops them from putting in a description without time. but they can still put time without a description.
I can't figure out how to do multiple validations of the same two fields. If I do an And or another Or statement it breaks the whole thing and they can enter with no restrictions.
Also, I tired to do it at form level for the other half (to stop them from putting time without a description) but it brings up a pop up and they cant tab to the description field to enter a description without putting time back to "0" first.
