Apply 'save Formatted' To Reading?
Jul 2, 2007
I have a DB with tables where the primary key fields are autoincremented, but with formatting applied.
Formatting is for example "CC"000000 so record 1 will be CC000001.
(each table has a different alpha prefix)
This works fine, except the database content is being read by another application, and it sees only the 1, 2, 3 etc.
Exporting the data to Excel format proves that this is due to Access not the other application.
However, if I export to Excel format, and tick the "Save Formatted" option, the data exported is as I require, CC000001, CC000002 etc.
Is there a setting or way to make Access present the data when it is read by another application to be the 'formatted' version of the data?

In order to perform conflict searches in my Access 2007 database, you enter a bunch of information and then receive a report of cases with similar information in order to avoid any conflicts of interest.One of the fields is "Date of Accident". Currently I have its format set as yyyy/mm/dd. However, my expression
Code:
Date Searched: [Forms]![frmConflictSearch]![Date of Accident]
returns nothing (if I look at the query in Datasheet the column is blank).I found a fix for getting it to appear by removing the format on Date of Accident, however, my query doesn't retrieve cases with matching dates (the dates are formatted to dddd, mmmm dd, yyyy as a Date/Time Data Type).Is there any way I can get the query to both return the date searched, AND retrieve matching cases?

Good evening,
I am a little confused. I have one table with the Autonumber field and another table with a field that looks it up.
Tha problem is that I am using a Format for my Autonumber, e.g.
"O0045". And the field with the foreign key refuses to accept it! It needs a number to be entered, i.e. 45, and then it can format it. So on the whole, the LookUp Feature does not work, because it suggests FormattedAutonumbers, which do not fit in (obviously the foreign key accepts numbers only).
Is there a solution? Thank you in advance.

I am using this formula to format my date field
Convert this:A601030730 to 03-Jan-06
A6 = Year
01 = Month
03 = Day
0730 = Time (not worried about that part)
ApptDate: IIf([abap_030] Is Null,"",Format(DateSerial(Val(Mid(Left([abap_030],6),2,1)),Val(Mid(Left([abap_030],6),3,2)),Val(Right(Left([abap_030],6),2))),"dd-mmm-yy"))
I get the date to "Look" the way I want, but Access does not seem to recognize the formatting as it will not sort properly?
Any suggestion would be welcome, thanks
Ziggy

On my Form I'd like to have a textbox that I could type something like the following...
Hi, My Name is Adam
Here is my favorite sport: Soccer
I'd like to find out what other people's favorite sports
Please send me an email back with your answer
Keep in mind the above could be one line, or it could be 20.
How can I transfer all the hard/soft returns etc. into a text box when I view and print the report?
Hope that made sense.
Thanks!

I'm trying to create an auto generating ID number field that contains a date followed by a sequential number for that date. In example...
YearMonthDay###
070719001
070719002
070719003
tomorrows numbering would be
070720001
070720002 and so on.
Each new day would start a new sequence of 001, 002, 003, etc.
I have searched these forums and haven't really found any answers. Could someone direct me in the correct direction. Also I need this number to be saved in the table and not just displayed or printed.

I was wondering if there is a way I can store a formatted text in a field in Ms Access. I know memo type can contain a very big string upto approximately 65k but formatting is not possible in that type. Regarding the OLE object, I am not sure if I have to create a word document and then store it as a OLE object or is there a way to do that without creating the word doc.?
I do not want to create a word document for each record in the table. Is there a better way?
Please advise. Thanks

I've successfully created a DateDiff calculation that is generated with a d:h:nn format. Now the question:
How can i select or identify specific values, such as <= 2 days using those outcomes generated by the expression? Is it possible?
Example: a value is generated as 3:14:35. I would want to indicate this more than two days by putting a "N" in a separate column.
How is this done?

I have a table with sales by day. I want to display the data in a graph summarised by week but the period spans several years. If I format the date thus Format(MyField,"yyyy ww") then Access sorts the results thus 2003 1, 2003 10, 2003 11 but it should be 2003 1, 2003 2, 2003 4 etc.
How can I get Access to sort in ascending order correctly on the formatted date?
Thanks

Report preview no longer formatted on Windows 8. Report prints correctly but when viewed as a report it is 1" x 1" in the left hand corner of the screen instead of filling up the page.

I have a database with a table of employees, and that has a column named "DaysOff", into which I type a couple of days like this: "SUNDAY AND MONDAY"
Next, I have a form onto which I will display a query of those employees. The form contains a field called DATE in which I display the mm/dd/yyyy date. What I want to do is this:
I only want those employees that have a DaysOff field that DOES NOT CONTAIN the WEEKDAY NAME of the date in the DATE field. So, for instance, if the DATE field read 2/22/2014, and I have three employees as such:
Employee 1 DaysOff "Monday and Tuesday"
Employee 2 DaysOff "Friday and Saturday"
Employee 3 DaysOff "Sunday and Monday"
In that case, ONLY EMPLOYEES 1 and 3 should show up. Employee 2 will NOT show up, because his DaysOff field contains the word "Saturday", and the WEEKDAY FORMATTED value of the DATE field is "Saturday"
I hope that's not too confusing. Again, this needs to be the filter criteria for the query. That query will only return a list of employees that are NOT off on the day in question. If one of their off days is the day in question, the query won't return that record.
I've tried a few things, but I can't get it to work. If you want, I can list the various things I've tried, but I imagine one of you knows exactly how to do what I need to do, and you won't need my feeble attempts as a springboard.

I am trying to show the Current Repair Estimate total in currency form on my report. The attachment shows my criteria, which works on the query, but does not show in the report. The second attachment shows what pops up when I try to view the report. What can I do to get this current rep estimate to show correctly in currency form on the report?

How do you make the amount in a currency text box appear red if its negative? Right now it shows in parenthesis but I would like it to be red as well. Is this possible? It's also a calculated text box if that makes a difference.

So I have this relatively simple problem: I need to create a button that once clicked will open the Save As dialog box and allow the user to save a copy of the current database where he wishes. The filename should contain todays date in DDMM format along with some pre-set text e.g. DDMM PresetText.
I am using Access 2010.

I have a few selected reports on an Access 2007 database that users can run. Is there a way for users to view the report, save as a PDF and automatically save a copy to a shared drive by modules/vba coding as an On Click event procedure?

I suspect my design is flawed
Code:
SELECT tblData2.Prefix, tblData2.LineNum, tblData2.Year, tblComments.comment, tblComments.Address
FROM tblData2 LEFT JOIN tblComments ON tblData2.LineNum = (NumbersOnly([tblComments].[Address])
WHERE (((tblData2.MyYear)<1990))
ORDER BY tblData2.LineNum;
The NumbersOnly function returns a set of numbers from a custom formatted string. The above fails on the join (I think) but maybe there's another way of doing it?

I am opening an excel file from access and changing the formatting from "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm" to number with 15 decimal places.Then I am linking the file to the database and subsequently doing a lookup on the date time on the access form against this table.The excel file when formatted from vba in access shows the wrong number
datetime = 03/05/2013 11:26
database number = 41397.4763888889
Excel file number = 41398.4763888889 (which would equal 04/05/13 11:26)
now if I do it manually then I get 41397.4763888889 or if the macro is in excel I still get 41397.4763888889.Also I have tested the code with manually editing the excel file and this works fine.
Code:
Private Sub Command288_Click()
Dim s As String
Dim t As Integer
Dim ws As Worksheet
s = LaunchCD(Me)
MsgBox (s)
[code]....
also this brings up a form and then I select the field required for the lookup and with the button is pressed the rest of the code runs as follows.
Code:
Private Sub LoadData_Click()
Dim w As String
w = Forms![frmList1]![Combo0]
w = "[" & w & "]"
Dim dtA As String
[code]....

I have a VBA code to import mail from Lotus Notes into Access. The database user is able to read his email inside Access, similar to any email program.
Unfortunately, when I use the GetItemValue (lotusscript) method to read the body of the email message, Notes will render the Rich Text information as Plain Text, and I end up with no formatting information (bold letters, underline, text color, etc.)
How to import messages from Notes to Access and keep the text formatting? I am storing the data in a Rich Text Memo field in a table. I have found code to write HTML (MIME) messages, but not to import them into Access.

I am creating a access db for use with a training company. All is working great.
What I want to do is create certificates within Access and then print by the Course load. Easy enough and I can do this.
The courses usually last two or three days, so i want to create a field which has the start and finish date on the certificate formatted correctly.
I currently use this
Code:
CourseDate: DatePart("d",[StartDate]) & " & " & DatePart("d",[EndDate]) & " " & Format([EndDate],"mmmm") & " " & DatePart("yyyy",[EndDate])
within a query which returns this
29 & 30 May 2013
what i want to print on the certificate is this
29th & 30th May 2013
I need to have the 'st' or 'nd' or 'rd' or 'th' in the date.

Here's my situation. I have a .txt file that I need to bring into Access. This .txt file is set up with records that are separated by semicolons.
I need to pull this information into Access and separate the data by the semicolons. I can open the file in Excel and separate the information by using Data --> Text to Columns --> semicolon (as the separator).
Does anyone have an idea how I can do this into Access.

Hi Guys,
This might be pretty simple, but I haven't found anything on it (might not have looked hard enough!). What I am trying to do is scan a barcode label that I created in Access, when this is scanned, it goes to a table and opens the record that contains this ID and allows me to enter further data in this record. The further data will be data capture from a balance, which works fine if you select the location where the data is to go (using the mouse), what I need is for this location to be automatically accessed when I scan the barcode, hope that makes sense.
Also, is there any way in Access to either prevent data in a table from being changed once it is entered, or alternatively to mark the data as changed/edited from the original input?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Nigel

I am working on searching my customer number in my billing table and finding the appropriate customer and then pass the customer number onto my shipping table to find the corresponding shipping data to go with my billing data. My problem is this :
When I find my customer in my Billing table ( searching through field0 = CustomerNumber)and then select it, it won't pass the customer number to continue to search field0 in the shipping table for customers that have a # in any of the cell values of the recordset.
Is there a work around for special characters in cell data ie) #
Any sugestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.
