Sep 11, 2006I have a query to go through a table and pick up the amount of money earnt during a period then I use that field to calculate commission, but the commission field just shows up as numbers and not as currency as the set field in the table does.
Is there anyway in SQL to say what sort of data type a field should be...
Example of sql string
SELECT Sum([Work].[Earnings]) AS [Period Earnings], [Period Earnings]*(17.5/100) AS [Commisssion] FROM Policy
Field-type For Images?
Sep 25, 2005Hi Everybody,
I have a database in mind but I will need a new field-type that would contain an image file. I don't care if the image format is jpg, bmp, or gif or whatever.
Can I store any image inside an access database, and if so how do I do this? Hopefully, I can have an inventory database that would also contain an image of each record in the database. ( I hope to store the actual image in the field, rather than "file-path" pointing to a directory full of actual image files )

CHange Field Type
Aug 22, 2007I have been researching changing the field type of a table to Hyperlink and have been unsuccessful.
Everytime I add a field to a specific table the hyperlinks get busted. What I am doing programmiticaly is:
1. Deleteing the field
2. Re-creating the Field (text)
3. Concantonating two fields into the new field
4. Create a second field (hyperlink)
5. Copy those recrods into the hyperlink field
6. Delete the first
7. Rename the hyerlink to the original feild name
I get this to work but the hyperlinks are still broken.
Programmatically:
If I Create the new field
Concantonate two fields into it
Then Manually Change the field name from Text to Hyperlink
everything works great.
QUESITONS:
WHAT CODE is being run whern you go into the properties of the table and change the field type from Text to Hyperlink?
Can I use that code for this purpose?

Type Text Field Size
Oct 2, 2006Hi,
I have searched on this and it says: it doesn't matter as long as it's of type text. It matter if it's long integer..etc. I am not quite sure.
I wonder if default size '50 of fields' of type text occupies that size in memory even though the data in the field is not 50 chars.

Aug 22, 2005Access 2002/2003. I have inherited an old Access 2000 database where one of the fields in the table had a Number data type with TEXT in it. I noticed the wrong data type and I change it to text. All appeared OK until I attached a combo box to this field. When clicking in or opening the combo box in any row in this table with the old text, I get an error message: "The value you entered isn't valid for this field. For example, you may have entered text in a numeric field or a number that is larger than the FieldSize setting permits." This field has about 3,000 records in it, and it appears to be corrupted and a permanent numeric field, I have tried everything to fix it: Compact and Repair; Import, append, and update this field into another table/field and I cannot get rid of the error message. How do I get that Number field finally and completely converted into a TEXT field? Anyone got any ideas? Thank-You! :o
View 1 Replies View RelatedUsing Currency-type Value Form Field
Feb 21, 2006I have a field which is formatted as currency. When a button is clicked, it shows the value of the field. Because it is a currency field, if you enter "10", it is immedatly changed to "£10.00", although when i use txtAmount.Value, it gives me the "10" value. This is especally a problem if pennies are used - if someone enters "15.10", the .Value reterned is "15.1", which makes it seem like "15.01" has been entered. How can I get the currency-type value form the field?Thanks for any help.

Update Is Changing Field Type
Oct 1, 2007i have a temporary table which is created by importing an excel file
some extra fields are then added to the table using sql vb code for example
strSQL = "ALTER TABLE [TBL_TmpSubmission] ADD COLUMN [EnergyUnit] TEXT;"
CurrentProject.Connection.Execute strSQL
these fields are later populated conditionally using an update exectuted again from vb code
If Me.cboProgram.Column(0) < 3 Then
strSQL = "UPDATE TBL_TmpSubmission SET EnergyUnit = 'GWh'"
Else
strSQL = "UPDATE TBL_TmpSubmission SET EnergyUnit = 'CarbonTonne'"
End If
CurrentProject.Connection.Execute strSQL
the problem is that this field now has a memo data type, this is a problem because i need to write a query which uses this field in a table join and access won't let you join on the memo type
anyone know why this might happen? for the time being i'm going to try and fudge this by using a further ddl statement to change the data type back to text but i'd rather know whats going on here
Can't Type In Unbound Text Field
May 27, 2005happy friday to all! I may just be missing something simple here but not sure what. I have a form with an option group of radio buttons, an unbound label, and an unbound text field.
If radio button A is selected, the the label and the text field become visible. no problem with this.
when they become visible, I want to be able to enter a string into the unbound text box, and use that data to populate a query from. I know how to do this also.
No the problem: when the textbox becomes visible I can't type into it?
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Auto Number / Type Field
Oct 15, 2007I have an order table [OrderMain], which contains [OrderNumber] "Auto Number" along with various customer related only info
Then i have a order line table [OrderLines] which contains the items ordered. Which looks like
OrderNumber
OrderLine
PartNumber
These tables are in a form, relationship of [OrderNumber]
This structure enables me to order as many parts as i'd like against 1 order number.
What i would like to do is set something similar to a auto number in the OrderLines table. This would be in the Lines Field.
The problem is, AutoNumber can't be used in the [Lines] field as each new order line # would continue from the last #.
The result would look like:

Attempting To Change Data Type For Field But Can't Because....
Dec 20, 2006I'm a bit of a newbie, so lets just get that out of the way....
I have a field in a table that was originally a text data type. I want to change it to a "lookup" data type using the lookup wizard. However, Access doesn't allow me to do this and prompts me with "You can't change the data type....its part of one or more relationships...". But there are no relationships? There may have been previously, but I've deleted them all from Relationships window.
This has happened several times now. I am in the process of designing the database and have been changing my mind about data types when I realize that I can use a lookup data type. The only fix I have found is to make a copy of the table in question and then change the data type of the problem field. Unfortunately this screws up my forms...which is a pain.
Why would Access say that there are relationships in the relationships window when in fact there are none?
I've attach a copy of my db. The field in question is located in the "Activities" table. The field name is "ACTIVITY_NAME". I am trying to use a lookup from the activityNames table using the "ActivityName" column.
Thanks for any help in this matter.
Memo Data Type Field On A Form
Jan 25, 2006Hi all,
I have a question about an Access form that I am creating. I have a "Due Notes" field, which has Memo data type and I create a form "Estimates" using a text box with the control source is that "Due Notes" field to enter notes when needed.
Although I have the vertical scroll bar for that text box (due to other controls, I can not size the text box too big), does anybody know how to display that text box in form "Estimates" with the data of the last text within the size of the box without scrolling down so I can start typing for the next entry? Do I make sense to you?
Please help and let me know if you know HOW. Thanks so much in advance.
