"Yes/No" Data Types And Forms

Oct 24, 2006

So, I've recently discovered that I'm more of an Access newbie than I had fancied myself to be. Anyway, I find that I need help with part of an ongoing project.

In our agreements with our clients, we have a set of standard terms which we typically use. Some clients with better bargaining power can occasionally negotiate better terms. One of the things I want our database to do is pull up which clients use the boilerplate terms and which have special situations.

I have two tables:
1) Fields: ClientID (Autonumber - Primary Key) & ClientName (Text)
2) Fields: ClientID (same as above - Primary Key) & Boilerplate (Yes/No)

For the clients that do not use the boilerplate, I would like to input the terms that differ from the original. Now to my question:

Is there anyway in my form(s) to make it so if I answer "No" (the client has special terms), it will then allow me to enter the special terms in another box? Similarly, if I answer "Yes" (that the client has boilerplate terms) no special entry box is triggered?

I'm not sure if I'm making any sense, but I guess I can sort of liken it to a computer survey where you have the choice of 4 options or "other" and if you select "other", an area opens for you to type what "other" is.

Let me know if you have questions. I'm at a loss for how to explain or do this.

Data Types

Sep 5, 2005

I have an Excel file (sourced externally) linked as a table. All fields are defined as text fields. In some of the Excel cells, data has somehow been entered as numeric (eg phone number). When I query the Excel file thru Access, these fields show up as errors (#num!).

I need to find a way of interogating the field, and if in error (like these ones), then ignore it, or replace with zeros etc.

I cant find a way of doing this. Help :)

Thanks.

I don't understand this. Can anyone help please?
I have not used access for ages and I seemed to be forgeting all this stuff.

Replace And Data Types

Jan 26, 2006

Hi all!
I'm experiencing an apparently simple problem, but it's taking me too long to solve :confused:
Two tables with a "text" (100) column on each. I want to select those who are identical. ¡So easy! thats the where clause:

AND a.sDesEntidad = b.sNombreLargo

That works fine. But... i want to "relax" the clause, by not considering dots ( . ) when comparing, and i do like this:

AND (Replace([a]![sDesEntidad],'.','') = Replace([b]![sNombreLargo],'.',''));

and i get a run-time Error 3464, Data type mismatch in criteria expression. Oooops!
My access version is 2003, spanish. I would really appreciate ur help, since this matter shouldn't be keeping me busy for so long :(
Regards and thx in advance!

Access Data Types

Feb 9, 2006

I am trying to do a comparison between two values and am getting the following error:

Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e07'
Data type mismatch in criteria expression.

The code that is creating the error is as follows:

sb = Request.Form("storyboardscreen")

if Not Lcase(Request.Form("AllStoryBoard")) = "all" then
whereClause = whereClause + "theStoryboard = " + sb
end if

I am using the statement to build the where clause of my query. The sb value is retrieved from a pull down menu and "theStoryboard" column is the db is of data type "text". The values stored in the field are 12 digit numbers. I have tried doing a cstr to sb but that doesnt work, any tips on what I am doing wrong? I am using asp with an access db....

Thanks

Union Query Data Types

Dec 11, 2007

Hi All,

I have a Union query that brings together several tables into one. This works perfectly well however there is an occassion when a field in one table has its data type changed to text from date. This is to allow N/A to be entered rather than a date. When this occurs the union query changes all the dates from the other tables to text also and therefore other queries I am running based on the Union query now fail.

Is there any way to have the Union Query ignore the data from the table where and when this this occurs as it is not necessary to show in the query and can happen with any of the tables at a users discretion

Thanks Again
IC

How Do View The Data Types Returned By A Query In Access 2000?

Jun 3, 2005

I am working in MS Access 2000. I have a query that is returning a table with various types of data. The problem is I can't seem to find anywhere in the Access GUI that will show me the data types of columns it has returned so I can't manually create a table to hold the values returned by query. Question is two fold:

1. Is there a way in Access SQL to import data returned from a query into a table that is not yet defined. Some like this:
a. Create a table that has a primary key but doesn't yet know the number of columns and/or data types of those columns.
b. Import the data from a query into this table and have it create the columns and copy the data types and populate the table while also numbering each row by primary key.

or
2. Is there a way to find out what the data types are for a table returned by a query in MS Access. I have checked the properites of the query and have been up and down the gui looking but I can't find a way while looking at the data returned by a query to explicitely see the data type (i.e., number, Date/Time, etc..) used by each column.

Any info would help. Thanks.

Make Table Query Returns Binary Data Types

Jan 31, 2008

This the first time I post in this forum and I tried looking for an answer to my question before posting, so I apologize if my question has been answered previously.

Is it possible to determine, in Access 2000, the data type in a Make-Table query of a new column with null value so that it does not default to binary.

Here is my sample sql:

SELECT tblAddressBook.Name, Null AS Email INTO tblTestTable
FROM tblAddressBook;

The output is tblTestTable with two columns: Name and Email. The data type of column Email defaults to Binary. How do I make it default to Text.

Thank you.

General :: Create A Spec File Or Set Field Data Types

Jan 26, 2014

Looking for a way to use transfertext to make a table and create a spec file from csv files I am importing. I want all fields in the table to be shorttext.

Otherwise I need another way to bring the files into a table.

I have a generic spec to use that brings in any data as text.

Created the spec from a delimited file with 255 text fields... Field001, Field002, etc.

However the field names need to be changed. My field names are in the first row of a table. I will need to read each fields data in the first row and rename the field.

Access Field Types Change When Relinking Data From Sql Server?

Jan 25, 2014

We have been using an Access (Access 2013) program where we link the program to dataviews created in sql server.

Recently we had to re-link the data views because a change had been made to them. When we relinked the data we noticed that the field type for the field used as the primary key changed from "Short Text" to "Long Text". The programmer who created the dataview from sql server said that nothing was done at that end that would have caused the change

I know how to prevent the problem from recurring. We are changing the sql server spec from VARCHAR(8000) to CHAR(20).

Forms :: (Upload File) Button Stopped Showing All File Types

Oct 7, 2013

I recently upgraded a DB from 2003 to 2013 and ran into the following problem.

I have a button that opens a file dialog box and allows the user to upload a file to a predetermined location (and store the address as a hyperlink). I borrowed this code from someone else on here and modified it slightly.

In any case, the button still works, but now when it opens it doesn't have an option for "All files" under file types. So I can upload MS Office files, text files, etc., but not PDF files which are by far the most common types my users upload.

Private Sub Command35_Click()
Dim dd As Integer
Dim fileDump As FileDialog
Set fileDump = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)
dd = fileDump.Show
Dim Yourroute As String
Dim yourrouteName
Yourroute = fileDump.SelectedItems(1)
yourrouteName = StrReverse(Yourroute)
yourrouteName = StrReverse(Mid(yourrouteName, 1, InStr(yourrouteName, "") - 1))
FileCopy Yourroute, "us170fp00dataWBO_Tool_RoomDrawings" & yourrouteName
Me.Drawing_Link = yourrouteName & " # us170fp00dataWBO_Tool_RoomDrawings" & yourrouteName
End Sub

Types Of Drop Down

Sep 8, 2006

I need to display a drop down list to users.
I know that in a combo box, the user can also type text. However, I want to stop them from doing this and only be able to select values.

Is there a better control I could use? I tried the listbox but this does not seem to "drop down" the data like a combo

Field Types

Sep 10, 2006

I am building a table where one of the fields is a yes/no field type. When the yes box is selected, I need to "jump" to a different set of field names than field names for selecting no. I have researched on internet and have done some reading but have found no information. Is it possible to do what I want to do in Access? My skill level is that I can build tables, create forms, create reports and run simple queries. Any help offered is appreciated.

Appointments With Three Types Of Roles

Dec 16, 2004

hi everyone, i sort of run into a dead end trying to figure how to structure this. I have three tables for the 3 roles, tblClients, tblDoctors, tblBusinessContacts, each with a Primary key and some unique information about each role. I'm not sure how i can track appointments to each of these roles, i know how to do it if it was one role. I want to be able to later view all appointments for that day with all 3 of these roles.

Also, for clients i have a multiselect listbox describing their reason for the appointment and somewhow would like to associate that to the appointments. Some info i would like about these appointments:

1. date and time
2. details of contact
3. date for next appointment

What would be my best bet?

Thanks!

Joso
