I hope you'll be able to help since I think it is going 2 B a tough one.
I'm looking for a code that will do the following:
I have a table (lets say customers) with a lot of names and instead of typing again and again the same name I would like to have a kind of an auto complete mechanism which will find the name from the table and use it to input it back to the table itself and if it isn't there then it will use the new name as an input, exp: in table customers I have the following names:
ACC, ABC, ABD, EFG .....
lets say I'm typing A then the ComboBox will show all the names that starts with A (e.g. ABC, ABD & ACC), if I will continue typing A=>B then only the names ABC & ABD will be shown then I can choose one of them or continue typing ABD which will cause only the name ABD to show up then I could use this as a name to input to the table or if I create a new name like ABDG then this one will be used.
I hope I didn't mess things up and explained myself correctly.
Thanks in advance

I have created a database.On opening the [Company] form opens up.After pressing the 'Add new company' button it creates a new record. when typing immediately into the 'Company Name' field, access highlights all the text whilst your typing making you delete what you have just typed.I have tried several macros and vba at various different events to try and solve including 'Gotocontrol', 'refesh'. I have even tried SelStart.
I have to sort out a database of goods where many doublets have been created over time. Unfortunately each doublet/triplet/multiplet can be disguised by not having ANY fields common with the other versions. The only pointer I have is that the SKU of a copy contains the SKU of the original. I have some 6000 SKU's.
I want to identify each SKU that has been copied, and into what SKU or SKUs.
tblSKUs ---------- Seq : sequential numerator for shiwing it on AWF ID: Id of the item (Autonumber) SKU: SKU (Text)
In the above table, item with Seq 2 is a copy of 1, 4 is a copy of 3, 6-10 are copies of 5, and 12 is copy of 11. Each copied SKU is thus the original SKU + some more characters. Minimum length for an SKU is 4. No maximum length.
I can do anything using VBA, but need to get inspiration to do minimum possible using queries.I would be happy to get a table like this ( for each copy in RH column, the Orginal is listed in the LH)
I am working on a database. I created a list box (ListBox) that filters record for a form. This list box is controlled by another field (SearchBox) where I type search string.
The ListBox visibility is hidden when the form loads. It only becomes visible when the user starts to type in the SearchBox. The records gets filtered and when the user clicks on the selection, the form goes to the record and the ListBox becomes hidden again. All this works fine. My problem is for some technical reasons I want the ListBox to show only when there is character in the the SearchBox. When I try to type in the SearchBox the ListBox shows but when I try to clear the SearchBox with backspace the ListBox is still visible
I tried:
Code: If me.SearchBox = Null Then me.ListBox.Visible = False Else me.ListBox.Visible = True
I also tried
Code: If IsNull (SearchBox) Then
Still when I type backspace the ListBox remains visible.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I put this code on the current event of the SearchBox Field.
I am creating a registration DB for a school. My tables are all set up and working, but what I cannot figure out how to do is to create a report such that upon opening it, a little dialogue box pops up and asks me "Term" and "Class" and then I type those things in and viola I get a class list.
I'm working with a DB to enter orders for picking. I have an item list that I'm linking to when entering orders, and bringing in the data from the item list such as item location etc.
It's setup right now that when I type the first couple of letters into the item field it automatically brings up the matching items and if I click enter it completes the item and brings in the other fields from the item list.
Example: If I type in 'tom' I get back 'tomato', 'tomato sauce' etc. and when I choose the right one and hit enter it fills up the rest of the required info such as item location.
What I would like it to do is have the auto complete also check for middle words.
Example: when I type 'alm' it returns 'almonds', 'almond milk', but don't return 'container almonds' or 'container roasted almonds' etc.
I have a table called: "tb_special_characters" with a field name [character]. In this table are values that I would like to remove from fields in another table ("tb_data", field name [Title]
The values in the "tb_special_characters" are thinks like . @ }
I'd like to run a query on tb_data.title that would replace any matching characters in tb_special_characters.character with nothing (I remove and close any spaces).
I have what I think is a difficult problem to overcome...
I am designing a form to create an invoice. The user will select a workstream and a date range in form frmInvByHrs. Within this I want two sub-forms, one is frmInvByHrsTsht and the other is frmInvByHrsBill. I want the first one to display all the staff and their hours done, and the second one to be in data entry mode where you can enter the hours you want to bill. Each sub-form is based on a separate query.
Is it possible to do this? ie. to have one sub-form in data entry mode, and the other not? It seems to me that the data entry mode is controlled by the MAIN form regardless of the sub-form settings!
If this is not possible, do you know how I can acheive this?
I have refined my query from previous threads to involved a module function. This calculates more acurately no of working days between dates and takes into account a holidays table. (All credit to Arvin Meyer on the module:) ) However because the Leave Year starts at the 1 July and finishes 30 Jun I need to compose the date for any current year Year(Now())
Enclosed scrdmp shows my query design. I can easily get it to work as you see it, but obviously as each year rolls over, the year needs to change.
Have looked at many posts but can't find what I'm looking for. This one will get me over the hurdle.
Apologies, I have no idea if this should go in reports, queries, macros or modules and VBA as I'm a bit stuck but hopefully it's fairly simple.
I've been teaching myself access and it's been going well. What I have now been asked to do is produce a report that generates the shift patterns for everyone in the office as an HTML document. Now, the data is all exported from another program and I've had no problem getting the data into access easily. The problem I have is the format some of the data is in.
The major one that I need to solve is showing what time people are meant to take their lunch break each day. The field for break is filled in in the following format.
07/04/2008 12:45:00
Now, I have the date from elsewhere so I really don't want the date to show up so I need something that removes the date from this field. Is this going to be easy to do? (Ideally I'd like it so that the above example actually just returned 12:45 but if it has the 00 on the end that would not be the end of the world)
Apologies if this is in the wrong part of your forum.
I'm working on this database in which I have 2 forms:
one form has personal information (PersonalInfo) and the other one is a search form (Search)
In the search form I have a field in which I want to type any part of the Name field in PersonalInfo form and I want to retrieve all the records that have this part of the name.
Here is what I tried:
In the PersonalInfo form, I want to the criteria of the NameField and typed the following:
I have joined 3 tables using the query design and I have 3 different fileds. There are fields that have information that I don't need. e.g. I don't want the first 10 characters of field 1. How do I do this in query design (even in SQL view). Or do I need to do this in the table itself before joining the table. Hope my question makes sense. Thanks for any input.
I have a table with names in a field called [Name] in the format Mr John Smith I need to append the names to another table but to 3 separate fields for title, initial, surname I know the format for example Left([Name],1) to take only the first letter, but how do I tell it to take from the left up to the first space for the title, how to take between the first and second spaces for the first name etc? Any help gratefully received
Hi all, I am trying to update the value of a field from say, "Word" to "Test120+". I am using the SQL code as below....
UPDATE tblTable SET tblTable.Field = "Test120+" WHERE (((tblTable .Field)="120") AND ((tblCurrent.Field02)="TT"));
But the end results are that the value has been changed to just Test120 !! The plus (+) sign has been excluded. Is there anyway I can force the plus sign to be used in this update query or has Access some sort of bug because the plus sign is used as an arithmetic character that prevents it from being used as a value in a query ?
I have a table with 84000 records in I need to fined all the records that have the same First two starting characters and the same last two characters but are different between the first two and last two characters.
Ie. 30123456757 302356757 301234567
I just want the ones that have different number in between . I have tries ever Select statement I can think of and still coming up with every thing but what I need.
I have a customer database and I basically want to find out their geographical distribution. To do this I need to run a query that gives me the sum of customers for each postcode, but this is dependent on only the first few characters of the postcodes (or prefix), eg BH3. The length of the prefix varies between 2 characters and 4 characters with one or two characters followed by one or two numbers.
What I don't want to happen for example is to have postcodes counted as BH1 when in fact they are BH13 or to have postcodes coutned as BH13 when they are actually BH1 3LV.
Does anyone have any suggestions of how I can do this? :confused:
I want to ba able to search for only part of the field in a query. I want to run a reort from a query where the user only needs to enter part of the information from a product list ie the items listed may be as lisetd as make model in the same field. the user won't be able to get to the query to alter the criteria. i have tried: Like "*" & [Enter Product Name] & Like "*" Which I found on a previous post but this returns a syntax error, and highlights the second Like
I have a table that I need to identify the records in that have specific text in one of the fields, the field also contains other data. i.e. the field (accessdescription) can contain any combination of the following text (Bridge, Report, Email). and I want to list only the records that have email in this field, noting that the field usually contains at least two of the possible entries.
Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
I have a table - RDC/NDC - that holds details about various warehouses, including a field - [Short_Code] (TEXT) - to hold the warehouse short code or ID.
I have an import table - PickDataImport - that contains details of goods picked, including a field - ToAssignRef (TEXT) - that is made up of 3 elements; Type-Short_Code-Date (EG GREEN-MAN-210215).
I am trying to create a query that will return the warehouse name from RDC/NDC by looking up the depot short code in the ToAssignRef.
The Type element of ToAssignRef can be any length of text.
I am thinking i need to use HAVING or IN (or a combination) but everything i try fails - either blank or errors.
I have a table that contains a list of news items. For each item there is a link to an appropriate image and a load of text.
I display a list menu of news items showing the picture and the first few lines of text. At the moment for the first few lines of text I have a separate field and just copy and paste the first few lines of the main article into it.
My question is is there a way where instead of having to have a separate field with just the first few lines in I can somehow just retrieve the first few lines of data from the full article field when displaying the menu listing?
Hope this makes sense, and any ideas greatly appreciated.
