I have the following in a select query
TimeLeft: CDate([FinishingTime]-Time())
If FinishingTime is LESS than Time() I want it to show a negative sign to show that the time has past. How do I do this?
Hey all,
just have a small question...
Normally in a form if you use the '&' in front of a objectname or something like that it will underline the first following letter meaning you can use the 'ALT + letter' combination to use it.
Now I want to use the '&' sign in a label, without having it do anything like that. I just want it to display the sign, anyone have any ideas on how to do this?
Cheers,
Thomas
I have table with one of the columns with number (amount) that can be positive or negative.
I want to add new column of sign - 'H' for positive or 'S' for negative.
Hi,
I have a problem displaying the £ sign in my query. Instead of the query displaying £448.87 it displays 448.87.
You can see from the below image that the value of AllCost is £448.87 and I don't understand why its displaying 448.87 when I run the other query called All Cost 2. The Nz function is used to display £0.00 if the AllCost field is null.

The below image is when I run the "All Cost 2" query

I have a table that is joined to two tables. When I view it in Access 2010 the plus sign is set to one table. How can I make it view the other relationship?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to reverse the sign of a numerical field at data entry time and store the negative results...i.e. a quantity field (shipments) keyed as +100 to be stored as -100? I have tried several input mask solutions but none worked.
Thanks for any help or suggestions from an Access novice.
I have an accdb built using Access 2013 that will run with in 2010 Runtime. I am about ready to distribute the application, and am starting to do some research.
When I attempt to package and sign the db using the feature in Access 2013 it asks for me to "Confirm Certificate".
Before I go buy one I want to 1) try to create on myself and 2) learn about some good places to buy them.
1) I created a "Self-Signed" certificate using IIS, but the certificate doesn't show up on the list of certs when I attempt to package and sign the accdb. Is there a way to use a "Self-Signed" certificate to package my accdb?
2) If purchasing a SSL is the only option. Where is the best place to buy a SSL that I can use to package and sign accdbs from Access 2013?
I have created a button to display the current time ( sign in and out).
It works fine with this code Me.field = time$
However i need a code beneath it to run the actual query that will display this time onto the table...
I have attached an image of one of the query, I need it to run.
I am trying to add a percentage sign (%) after a number I get from a table, thus the number 1,5 should display 1,5% and NOT 150%.
I am using the Format Property of the text field.
I tried #,##% which converted the value to a percentage (1,5 became 150%) Then I tried #,##"%" and #,##\% Access ignored both and changed the value in the property field to #,##% Using the Format function is not an option because it is a bound field which should be editable.
hi.. i have one table with fields 1-8
2 forms are used to fill in the details for each record using the primary key on each form.
eg
FORM1
jobid
date
day
time
price
FORM2
jobid
pickup
dropoff
vehicle
is there a way that on FORM1, i can indicate to my user whether or not any details have been entered into FORM2
maybe a colour system.. eg
if table.pickup and table.dropoff and table.vehicle are empty
form indicator on FORM1 is red (to show that none of the details on FORM2 have been entered)
else if table.pickup or table.dropoff or table.vehicle are not empty
form indicator on FORM1 is green (to show that atleast one of the fields on FORM2 has been entered)
it doesnt have to be a colour scheme, it can be wording.. eg
Form2 Empty, or Form2 Completed...
just some kind of sign to my user..
anyone ever tried or used something like this before?
I'm having an issue with pound signs in my table for specific items. I've create a DB that when you click a command button it opens a form and in the form it has a notes field. In the notes field once where i had data is now pound signs.
The DB is setup so when you click another command button to close out, it saves the record. It works 98% of the time but the i'm concern about the other 2% of the time.
I get a negative value when i run the below expression.
The expression picks the month from the field txtmonth in form "frmYearToMonth" and search's the crosstab query "ctbYearToMonth" for the corresponding value in txtMonth.
=DLookUp([Forms]![frmYearToMonth]![txtMonth].[Value],"ctbYearToMonth","")
The value is correct but there is a negative sign before the value how do i eliminate the negative sign.
I have several reports where the currency was always reported in dollars so for the fields in question I had a format of $#,###.00 which printed the dollar sign in front of the amount.
As the system has now become more sophisticated I need to print out a currency symbol depending upon the client. I have a currency table that links into the client so my query 'behind' the report holds the right symbol but how do I get it ito the report. I Know I can define a second field that will hold the symbol but to me this is a clumsy way of doing it. Is there anyway I can put the symbol in the control source for the data or into the format of the field or some other way?
I have a command button on a Web Mutli-Record form that is using a "= [Report_URL]" value within the Hyperlink Address property. This all seems to work other than the fact that when the link popups up it has a "#" on either side that basically makes it an invalid address. How do I get rid of the # signs to get the web address popup in the URL when a user clicks on the Command Button that is associated to the row the record is on.

Hi,
I have been using "fSetAccessWindow (SW_HIDDEN)" in the open event of my
main switchboard to hide the grey Access screen from being visible behind
forms, reports, etc in this db. But when I started using a .vbs script file
to launch the db, the Access window stopped being hidden. (The reason I use
the script for launching is that it temporarily sets the db's security level
to 1 which stops the macro security warning from coming up.) Apparently MS
knows about this happening and released a technique to rectify the situation,
but I don't understand their instructions. It looks like they expect one to
have more understanding than I have. Could someone help me get this
impliemented? Here is the article:

Using Access's User and Group Accounts or Using a Login Form to access database?
I've been researching on how to make a database secure. How to create User and Group Accounts on access, I see the step by step instructions and tried it out myself.
I also saw some sites where they give an example of a Login Form and how to create one.
My question is do you need to create both. First create the users and groups to permit or deny access to certain forms and then have a login form?
But would that mean that they'd have to login twice? Once when the database opens because it activates the db security that was created and then login again in the login form that was created?
Also when the user logins in and clicks on the cmd button on the form which opens up another from, frmWorkLog, I have an Employee field. This field I want it to have the user's name entered automatically and "locked". So that info, employee name, is extracted from the user's login. So then the user can only see his or her records only and no one elses.
How would I go about creating that. Hope I made my explanation clear.
Thanks in advance.
I have two database applications and they are:
- the (A) application is for administration use.
- the (B) application is for normal users use.
the idea is that: I made the (A) application for administrators who have full control over the database objects (tables, forms, queries, and so on ...).
the (B) application I have created for normal users who will have only to use forms to insert some data and display data only.
but the two applications has a respective table called "vacation request" table. where I linked them, so the both administrators and users can share the data.
The real question is that: How can I prevent the users from seeing the database objects in their application. I used the database options which have helped me in hidding the database objectives when the users open the application, but unfortunately they managed to access to the database objects by pressing the special keys.
I would like to have an access to the (B) application when I want to make some modifications to the forms and then lock it from users where they only have to use the forms for requesting vacations and view the vacations.
I have a simple access search form , that's based on a query that fill parameters from the form textboxes, when the access form loads its keeps prompting for parameters value which looks ugly .. I want to open the form, displaying all the records in the table and filter when i click search ..
I have a data entry entry form, that i want to generate success message after successful insert in database. I have done it in the button event if no error happens, still if i left all fields blank and clicked save, it displays the message ..
I need to change that to display please fill the textboxes then click save , and display success message when the row is actually inserted ..
Check the following attachment for sample.
I've been using the following code successfully in Access 2003 & now I need to migrate to Access 2010. The purpose of the code is to use the items that the user selects in the list box to build the criteria of a query. Access 2010 keeps giving me a syntax error when I try to run the query & I don't know why:
My code is:
On Error GoTo Err_Command151_Click
' Declare variables
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
Dim varItem As Variant
Dim strCriteria As String
Dim strSQL As String
[Code] .....
The syntax error I get in Access 2010 is:
Syntax Error in query expression 'SELECT * FROM
qryContractListSummarybyDateContract3TYPEBREAK WHERE
qryContractListSummarybyDateContract3TYPEBREAK.Rep ortableName IN('Adbri
Masonry NSW');'
