Add Value To Cell According To Another Cell In Same Record
Nov 21, 2006
i have a table of articles. A field in the table is ArticleSubject
the ArticleID is made up of 3 letters then 3 numbers. i want the 3 letters to be something according to the subject
for example i want the first 3 letters of the ArticleID to be MAT*** (* is a number) if the subject is Maths
or ENG*** if the subject is English
the subject is picked from a listbox in the same record
how would i do this in a table . i am reluctant to use append or update queries.
but will do so if its the only way.

I have entered one entry in to the database with the correct values (this is record 6) and everytime I enter a new record, the data is the same (I'm using a drop down list) it will automatically appear in the box. But when I goto the table that the data is stored in, each field just has the reference to the first record that the data came from.
Looks a bit like this:
ID Server Name Pattern Engine Program
6 LN1HOME 4.735.00 8.500-1002 5.58.0.1185
7 LN1WORK2 6 6 6
Is there a way of seeing the origonal data in those fields other than the Record ID Number as a reference. :confused:
I know its a lame question, Im just is a learning process at the moment.
thanks in advance.

I am trying to write some vba code to auto fill a cell's value based on the value of the cell in the previous record (In a datasheet form) i.e. if the value in record one was '1' and the down-arrow key was pressed then the value '2' should be entered into the new ext record
I have written some pseudo-code to show what I am trying to accomplish:
if keydown = down-arrow and current cell contents isnumeric then
Cval = current cell contents
if current record = last record then
create new record
move down 1 record
set cell value of new record to cval+1
else
move down 1 record
if cell value = null then set cell value of record to cval+1
end if
end if

I use a Access database to import data from an email generated from google docs..When the data imports to the table it creates a "Memo Field" with several lines of carriage seperated data containing the Form Field name & answer. (ie: Firstname=John, Surname=smith, etc)Is there any way to seperate this data in the cell into seperated cells in a new record?

Hello!
I have "ID" column and I want to create new column called "ID_new" where the value of each record should be "1000" plus the value of "ID".
For example:
First record, has "ID"=1, than I want "ID_new" to become = 1001
Second record, has "ID"=3, than I want "ID_new" to become = 1003
etc..
Any tips/hints?
Thank you in advance & best regards

Hi Guys
Not sure what I should do here. I would like to have a cell populate with the value of a specific cell previously.
explain:
in excel, we can use formulas like this:
A1: 00:00 B1: 08:30
A2: 08:30 B2: 13:00
A3: 13:00 B3: 15:00
etc, etc
Notice that each cell in A is the same as the previous B Cell. So the formula for Cell A2 would be something like: =IF(B1>0,B1,"00:00")
and Cell B3 would be =IF(B2>0,B2,"00:00")
The fields I have in Access are:
TimeIn TimeOut
So I would need to get TimeIn to be the same as the previous timeout???
Not sure If I'm making any sense right now :)

This is a very stupid question, I'm sure...
I want to get Access to find a cells that have a certain value and make them a particular colour so that they can easily be seen by database users. I could also make the font a different colour. I've tried getting the builder to do this in the query I run (for the column the fields appear in) but nothing seems to work. How and where do I enter formatting for colour / font colour based on data that is already in the cell... and what do I need to type?
Also would it be faster to get Access to do this before I run a query - so that the formatting is appllied to the whole table or would it be faster to do it during the query process?
Any help would be much appreciated.

I am not sure if this has been done in a table before. I have seen it in forms but not in tables.
Here is my problem.
I have created a database for a planespotters club. This database has the tables.
ac_logged
ac_maker
ac_model
country
airport
I am trying to display selected information in the ac_logged tbl that is related to other cells. For example: If someone selects boeing in the maker field they will only boeing models in the model field. Also, if someone enters Ireland in the country field only the airports for that country would be listed.
I don’t want to do this in a form but I could settle for a query if I have to.
I was just wondering if this could be done in a table as opposed to any other way.
Hope I have made myself clear on this one. :confused:

OK, here is my situation. I have an access database which is updated automatically every night with new data. My companies solution to this is each morning, the entire database is downloaded to my computer to be used by another application.
In one of the tables, there is a field that doesn't work for my purposes, so each day I have to manually open the table, and change the contents of that field for every record. For example, lets say I have the following table:
Field1 Field2 Field3 Field4
Rec1 Wigets Faucet Model1A
Rec2 Wigets Faucet Model1B
Rec3 Wigets Sink Model1A
Rec4 Wigets Sink Model1B
Rec5 Wigets Toilet Model1A
Each day I manually change Field2 so it reads "Total" and whatever is in Field2:
Field1 Field2 Field3 Field4
Rec1 Total Faucets Faucet Model1A
Rec2 Total Faucets Faucet Model1B
Rec3 Total Sinks Sink Model1A
Rec4 Total Sinks Sink Model1B
Rec5 Total Toilets Toilet Model1A
Each morning when I receive the new database download, they all go back to widgets.
Is there a macro or module I can create to automatically look at Field3, and then assign a new value to Field2 based on Field3's value?
Any help would be appreciated!!!!

Hi experts,
I have a mainform in which there is a subform. Is there any way that I can retreive the value of the selected cell of the subform in the main form?
Currently what I usually do is that using a text box and setting it's control source to that special field in the subform, we have the value. But this is only for a specific field.
To explain my problem more precisely, I have a subform with 7 columns (fields) and 5 or 6 rows (datasheet view). When I click with the mouse on a specific cell ( or navigate within the subform with the arrow keys) I want to have the value of that cell in my main form.
Thanks in advance.

Has anyone else had this problem?
I have a program that brings in the upper and lower specs to a excel spreadsheet and then brings in the values from lab tests.
The program then uses the specs to determine if the value is in or out of spec and colors the value if it is out of spec.
My problem is that in one cell the upper spec that is brought in is 2.7 and it shows that on the spreadsheet but when you click the cell the true value stored there is something like "2.66990153". Since a test value of 2.7 is greater than that it colors it when it is in fact in spec.
I have stepped through the code and the spec value pulled from the table is coming in correctly at 2.7.
Why would the excel sheet have a different value?

Ok, there is one main form and a subform which is linked directly to a table. A VBA routine checks entries and flags certain rows for errors. We want to highlight specific cells that are out of tolerance.
Been playing around with the Me.ActiveControl.BackColor = vbYellow
But if this can be done to a particular cell on a table, and if this can be done using VBA.

how do I extract the number of dates and number of percentages out of a cell?
I have for example: "within 10 days 5% discount".
In this it is always "days" and "discount". So I would expect something like 4 digits left of "days" and something like: 3 digits left of "discount".

I have a few tables. One of it is a matching table between a table with people information and a table with event information. Now it want to do something like that:
The first column is filled with the event name (reference to the event table is done so i can choose from the drop down list) ...
The second column should contain the company name of the persons who visited that event. (also done)
The third column now should contain the visitor name. but the drop down should be filter so that only the people working for the company chosen in column two selected.
In my visitorstable the company of the peoples is referenced so i have to check, when the drop down opens, is the company written in column two also found in the column in my visitors table.

If I have the following value in a cell:
Joe <100,894> Doe
Is there a function in Access that will clear out the <100,894> leaving me with Joe Doe? To my understanding the Replace function only can replace certain characters. How can I delete everything in between the < > as well?
Thanks,
Paul

I have a table of 1216 records. The Title fields contain extra notes which I would like to remove. All of the notes have /'s around them. I would like to remove all of the text between the /'s and all of the /'s themselves.
Example:
ACCOUNTS OF CHEMICAL RESEARCH /ALL EXCEPT JAPAN/ /FOR INSTITUTIONS/
Should be:
ACCOUNTS OF CHEMICAL RESEARCH
I don't know how to do this, but I can do it in MS Excel or Access--whichever one is easier.
Thanks for help in advance.

Hello! I need some serious help! After 25+ years of using Paradox where I work, we are going to Microsoft Office and Access is stumping me on one thing!!! In paradox you could hit Ctrl+D and it would enter the same information as in the cell directly above. I can't find anything that shows that Access has a feature like this. I have our inventory database and I will enter maybe 25 of the same items, but they have different property numbers and locations only. How do I get it to repeat what is in the cell/row above?

I have a table which holds the status of peoples orders. It holds information on order_id, order_status, order_desc, letter.
A letter is printed for each of the different statuses. However for one status i need two different letters to be printed.
How can i insert two values into the same cell.
So far i have done
insert into order_status (order_id,order_status,
order_desc, letter) values('025', 'Dispatched', 'Black tailored coat ','DPT notification');
This prints the DPT notification fine but i need another letter to print along with this.

(Access 2013). I deleted an old text box cell on a form and then I created a Combo Box from the design controls and it worked, but underneath it, the old label of the text box is still there, except now it's just described in the properties as an 'empty cell'. It still has the old text description showing on the form, but there is no caption field in the F4 properties.
I've tried everything I can think of to get rid of it, including closing the database and running a repair, but nothing works. I can select it, but I can't delete it or move it and I can't click into it to create a new label, hovering over it just produces the 'selected' cross hairs.
