Hello,
One of the items on my form has a value of varying length (decimals). My query is picking up the complete value but the field displays only 2 decimals. The field property is set to
Format = ##,##0.00###
Decimal = Auto
If i click on the field, it shows me the correct value e.g. 0.0001
How can i display the complete value on the form.
Thank you.
Hi there,
I am not sure the best way to do this,
I have a field with values that look like: 1.69553366385509 or 0.0061705541157596
I want these values to look like: 1.6955 or 0.0062 (4 decimal places [rounded up if possible])
Thanks for your help with this

Greetings,
I am trying to write a parameter query ... I have multiple fields the users *could* search, but they may want to search only one, and I am having a struggle figuring this out.
Ex. fields to search are Gender, Age, Date, etc., and I have created a parameter query that includes parameters for each of these fields. However, if I want to see all the females, thus leaving the other two parameters blank, I have no records in my result set. Clearly, I am doing something wrong -- I have searched the forum extensively before posting.
Thanks in advance, I am sure I am being simple and missing somethign....
I have a query that I export to a text file with fixed width settings.
For one particular field that had only been one character and 5 spaces I used PGM: " " & [ProgramCode] for my field. The recipient of the export file requires that this field be 6 spaces long and leading spaces fill in any unused field.
Now, one of the records for this field will be 2 character so the way it is now will cut off the leading character. How can I write this to add leading spaces until it reaches 6?
I am designing a data-entry system in Access 2003 for a clinical case-reading study. The questions that the case readers have to answer are divided into modules, and different batches of records use different modules, but all batches use a core module which includes identifying information and a set of questions that apply to all cases. The modules can include anywhere from about 15 to 60 questions. Some of the modules have been written, but the idea is to create new modules as the need arises. The data will be exported to an Excel spreadsheet for analysis. There is no need to plan for reports and this isn't really a relational database.
The problem is to allow the reader to enter data for the relevant modules, sometimes one, sometimes four or five or more.
I have created a main table for the core module and a form to go with it. I’m assuming I need to create a separate table, related to the main table, for each module and an accompanying subform for each table.
How do I create a menu system that will allow the case reader to choose only the subforms needed for a particular record?
Hello,
I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how I should go about designing the table structure for the hours tracking for the database I'm working on. Basically, I have a table with projects (tblProj) that I need to track the number of labor hours worked per month. The problem lies in the fact that each project could have varying time periods, anywhere from less than a year to more than a year and can start and end at any time of the year.
I was thinking of creating a second table (tblProjHours) to store the hours for the project but I'm not sure what the most efficient way of doing this would be. My idea was to create a table as follows:
tblProjHours
ProjHoursID (pk)
ProjID (fk)
BeginDate
EndDate
Month1
Month2
Month3, etc....
I would create a large number of fields/columns, something like Month1 to Month36 just to make sure I have enough months to enter in the hours. This is of course inefficient since some projects would be way shorter than the maximum allowed months set by the table structure and there is always the possibility of surpassing the maximum allowed months based on the table structure. I was wondering if someone had any better ideas on how I should pursue the design. Thanks in advance!

Preamble edit: I'm running Access 2003.
I have two tables, Students and AttendanceRecords.
Students just has studentID and studentName
AttendanceRecords has AttRecID, studentID, presence, thedate
I'm looking to create what looks like an Excel grid, with the last 10 days as columns and the student names as rows. All the cells in middle will be filled with the values of 'presence' for that student/day (e.g., P for present, A for absent).
Here's something I'm currently considering.
-I could make 10 queries, each using LEFT JOIN to connect studentName with presence & thedate on studentID, varying the 10 queries only in that 'thedate' will have a criteria of Date() -1 , Date() -2 , etc.
-If I'm understanding it correctly, I'll then have 10 tables, each containing 3 rows -- student name, presence, and the date (with each table having only 1 date repeated throughout).
-I could then join those 10 queries together on studentName, theoretically resulting in 1 big table with all the student names and the corresponding presence values for the last 10 days
If I do that, I could make a form in Continuous view and have each row show the studentName and 10 text boxes closely bunched up with presence values.
That seems very inefficient? Making 10 queries separately and then manually merging them seems redundant.
Also, now that I think about it, will the final product end up being read-only, or if the user changes one of the presence cells will it update the corresponding record in AttendanceRecord?
I create several reports for several different companies. Report data is the same but the report header data changes based on the company selected. All works well until I attempted to add their individual logos. I have tried many of the suggested methods both here and elsewhere to set the image path in Image.picture and image.control source. But I get "windows can't open file". Access 2010 on Windows10 insists on using the insert picture window when i select an image control. There is a drop down in the property sheet. I've gotten it to work a couple times but then its gone after restart.
The header data comes from a table [Company] which has the fields - name, addr, phone, path to image, and active(yes/no)
I am working on a report that will have 16 sub-reports, one right below the other. Because of the complex nature of the calculations in the groupings it seemed easier to "build" the report using vba rather than using the report's built-in grouping ability. The issue I am running into is that there seems to be no simple way to control the height of the sub-reports. I had hoped that setting "can grow" to yes would change the height of the sub reports and move all subsequent sub reports down (Allas)
As an alternative I thought too that I might be able to set the height of the sub-report control, which would make for a tricky but not impossible bit of programming, but (Again allas) I can't seem to find a reasonable way to determine the required height of the sub-report's control.
Using MS 2007, I have a 200 text files exported each day from another application that has two different types of lines (see below). I would like to import each text file in to a database as a single record.
Text file example (text.txt):
R111 WC 8/21/2012 7:00 Doe, John doej 10110110
First Question? Y
Second Question? N
Third Question? Y
...
Seventeenth Question? 10
As you see, I have the first row with multiple fields, but the next rows I have a question and an answer.
I would like to have this data imported as shown in the attachment. Example.zip
Most answers I see are for either multiple lines (same data and sizing). I am not sure how to handle several different lines with that vary in size and delimiters.
I have a report and forms that do a points total to 3 decimal places.
I would like the display to be all 3 places. So if the result is 122.3, I would like the output to be 122.300
Is this possible? It just looks much nicer on the output.
See my example attached.
I'm using a calculation on my form that subtracts one number from another and stores the difference between the two in a 3rd field. This works correctly but I want the difference to show 1 decimal place at all times.
So for instance if subtract 35.1 from 35.2 I get a difference of "0.1".
But if I subtract 35.0 from 36.0 I get a difference of "1".
The first case is fine but I need the difference to be "1.0" in the second case.
I've set the number of decimal places in the table from auto to 1 and changed the format on the form to a standard number with 1 decimal place. Neither of these show a difference of 1 as "1.0"
How to force 1 decimal place at all times?
I have a subform that displays doubles in a textbox as fixed with 4 decimal places as default. I have been trying to change the number of decimal places based on the value in a textbox on the main form. I have tried this:
Code:
Forms![Main Form]![Holder_subform].Form![Final PCT].[DecimalPlaces] = CByte(Forms![Main Form].Numdecs)
where [Final PCT] is the textbox on the subform containing the decimal number and Numdecs is the textbox on the main form containing the number of decimals I want to use. I want to implement this Form_Current sub.
Um, well hi
I am a VB programmer, and need a database for a diary program i am making. Only i need more then 255 characters in one of my fields.
Is this possible, if not, what are my options.
Thank you

I have a fax number field iwhich has a mask. +(000)-00-000-000 in a table of many records.
The problem is that every record has a number in the first part of country code +(001)which must have come there by mistakes, few records have complete and true fax numbers.
I need a query that can Update this Fax_Number field where the length of the string is less than 7 digits.
Some thing like UPDATE Contacts SET Contacts.Fax_Number = ""
WHERE ((Len("Fax_Number")>"6"));
How can i do this. Thanks.
I have a field, integer, that needs to be exactly 6 characters long, no more, no less. How would I set this?:p

I'm looking for some advice on what the maximum field length is in Access. Which option will provide the maximum length. I am wanting the field to capture both numbers and text.
Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
What is the maximum number of characters which can make up a query?
Is it 255?
J-F
is there a way to allows more that 255 chars in to a text field in a mdb? or do i have to do something like save it to a test file then link to the text file (cos i really dont know how to do that :P)
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've notice a situation in a few databases. One is where we track sidewalk construction. There are two called fields LENGTH and WIDTH. In my report I have text box with the control source =[Length]*[Width]. However it returns some bogus number. If I change the field names to something else like Width1, it works fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Is it possible to change the default table setting in Access 2000 for the 'Allow Zero Length' property from No to Yes? Or does anyone know any code that can be run to change any existing fields with Allow Zero Length = No to = Yes?
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Hello
Would it be possible for someone to explain to me how to program a variable length text fields in a table, as opposed to a fixed length field?
Also - what would be the disadvantage of using this type of field ?
Thanks

Hello,
If I read the documentation then memo field in a Access table can be 65.000 chars long.
I have three memo fields in a linked ODBC table which is filled by a append query from SQL-server database. The text in these field is cut off by 255 chars.
Does somebody know what the cause of this can be?
1. Is there a limitation/property where I can configure the length of Access memo field? DAO? I have read something about this but I don't understand this.
2. How can I trace that everything is send from the source? Maybe it's cut off at the source site. On this moment I don't know something about a Linked tabel.
Is there a sniffer or trace tool so that I can see what kind of data is realy send?
Thanks in advance

Hi everyone,
I am using a table that stores data and one of the fields is just a text field with a maximum length of 10.
However, when I store the data in the field, if I only enter 5 letters in it, it stores the 5 letter word correctly but followed by some spaces (I assume 5 spaces but I may be wrong.
I cannot figure out why does anyone know why?
If not, then can I trim the field if I use it in a query/report?
Thanks.
Gareth.
All,
I am using an Make-Table query to add many new fields to a Table using Fieldname: "".
However, when I use this, it sets the Allow Zero Length to No.
Is there code that I can use to stop this happening?
I am using this method for multiple fields and across multiple tables.
Your help appreciated,
Jem
