Format Column In Table
Apr 24, 2014
I know in creating columns in a table where I have date/time you can select long short, etc. But, I want my column name to be YR and the values of 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 all the way to 2020. So I end up with 7 rows. Then another date related table that houses the months. It will have a column name of MTH and the values Jan through Dec so a total of 12 rows. I have tried in format putting YYYY and MMM but when entering the data, it gives me an error saying I have to convert, click the calendar and choose a date. I don't want to choose month, day and year. I just want the year.

I have problem loading data from an excel file in to a table. I usually import the excel file in to a table via VBA script (because there are some changes I need to do before importing).It was working fine until this week when the data in a cell for a particular column in the excel file changed from being 3 letters to 4 letters. The column in the table is defined as text.
The data in this column usually looks like 001, 002, 003 etc but one of the cells in the excel file has data as P001.So now I get an error Runtime Error 3349 even though I have defined the column as text. When I change the data P001 to 004 similar to the other data, it works just fine. Is there a format or Input Mask I can set so that the data are correctly loaded in to the table?Or am I missing something?

Hi all,
In the organisation that I work for employees get paid every 2 weeks on a Saturday. So for this financial year the pay period end dates have been 08/07/2006, 22/07/2006, 05/08/2006 etc
I have a column in an Access table listing various dates. I want the next column to be
populated with the next pay period end date after that date.
So if DATE is 05/07/2006 I want PAY PERIOD END to be 08/07/2006
and if DATE is 09/07/2006 I want PAY PERIOD END to be 22/07/2006 etc
How do I do this?
Kind Regards,
Matthew

When I try to transfer (ctrl c + v) data from a table in Excel to a table in Access it loses format.
Exemple: $ 1.000,00 (Excel) become 1000 (Access).
I need to keep the format to make sure that the code works properly.

I'm trying to use VBA to update a new column in a table with info I already have in another table.The table I want to update is an inventory details table, it has around 25,000 records. I added a column called "UnitCost", of course the column is empty for all 25,000 records so I would like to fill it easily using DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE" feature.
I use that through-out the program however I'm unable to connect the dots for this one.What it needs to do is update "UnitCost" in "InventoryDetails" from "Products" where "InventoryDetails.ProductNumber" = "Products.ProductNumber"
The "Products" table has all the different unit cost, it just need to be placed in the "InventoryDetails" table for every record. Of course product1 needs products1 unit cost and product2 needs products2 unit cost, etc.

How to copy a column from one table and insert it into another table in the same database
Hi, All,
I have two tables (old and new) sitting in the same database. The new table is the result of 'data cleansing' done by an external company. In the process (export and import via excel) two memo type colums in the table were truncated in excel.
To make the new table usable, I must therefore now copy/insert the two memo columns from the old table into the new table.
Both tables are already Access tables and sit in the same database. Both tables, of course, have the same number of rows.
I tried to high-light one column in the old table, clicked copy, then high-lighted a blank column in the target table, then clicked Paste, but got error msg: "This text is too long for this field. Try copying a shorter text", as if I had wanted to copy the whole column into one cell rather than one column into another column of equal length.
What is the best way to proceed?
Thanks for your help.
Adrian

I have one database containing several tables, two of which are associated to this inquiry:
1) tblCategories
Contains two columns: CatID and Category Name
2) tblPending
Contains many columns of data obtained through upload from a web form including a column to capture the CatID and also a column for Category Name.
I wish to populate the Category Name column based on the results of data uploaded into CatID column
How is this accomplished? This is inherited project and I have very little experience with Access so just limping along...
Specific instruction much appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi All,
The following code is supposed to insert a date formatted as dd/mm/yyyy into a table, when i view the mySQL string in the debug window it shows the correct format, however when i open the table it displays the date as mm/dd/yyyy.
The table's date field userdate is formatted as a short date field with an input mask of dd/mm/yyyy.
My computers date settings are set up as dd/mm/yyyy as well
Any ideas on hows to correct this?
Thanks in advance. :)
Public Function Test()
Dim mySQL As String
Dim dtDate As Date
Dim db As Database
Dim qdf As QueryDef
Set db = CurrentDb()
dtDate = Format(Now(), "dd/mm/yy")
mySQL = "INSERT INTO tblCurrentUser( userdate ) values (" & "#" & dtDate & "#" & ");"
Debug.Print mySQL
'*The debugger shows* INSERT INTO tblCurrentUser( userdate ) values (#04/05/2005#);
' However the value in my table tblCurrentUser is05/04/2005 is in mm/dd/yyyy format
Set qdf = db.CreateQueryDef("", mySQL)
qdf.Execute
End Function

Here is my problem:
Let's say that I have a table with a field name of "Phone Number". I input about 200 #'s in the following format: xxx-xxx-xxxx. I decide that I want to use the an input mask to create (xxx) xxx-xxxx. I input 50 more #'s. The previous 200 have the old format while the 50 recent #'s have the new format. How can I update the entire field from the old format to the new without reentering the data? Or can I? If I can, will the change also apply to any forms created off of this table?
Thanks

Greetings all,
I am probably just being dense.
But how do I go about entering a percentage of say 5% in a numer field formated to percentage in a table?
If I enter 5 in translates to 500%, .05 as 0!
Thanks,
Brian.

Hi guys, hope you can help.
I have two fields (that I'm interested in) in my table: Insurance Policy End Date and Reminder Date.
I would like the default value in the reminder date to be exactly six weeks before the value entered in Policy End date. I'm not at all sure how to do this with the expression builder. Could you guys nudge me in the right direction?
Eternally grateful.

I guess this is pretty fundamental but I cant get it right! I want to search for a member by post code so I need to have validation for my table field post code so that when my parameter query accepts the post code input records will be returned covering all input types e.g. Users can put in CF72 (space)9AD or CF729AD and still get the same records or alternately how do I make users enter Post Codes with the correct UK spacing i.e 4 characters a space then the remaining characters?

A lady at work created an Access database that imports a dBase 5 file and when I go to import this file on User #1 PC it gives the error;
"External table is not in the expected format."
I can use the same Access database and same dBase file to import (stored on a shared network drive) from User #2 & #3's PC's and all works well. The only problem is that it is User #1 job to do this.
I unloaded Access 2003 and reloaded it and still the same results. All 3 PC's are identical via hardware and software.
It use to work until this past Tuesday when it started to give the error.
My steps are:
open the "Sales" Access database
select the prices table
Get External Data / Import and then select Prices.dbf
Then the error message comes up.
I am not an Access database guy and could use some help!
Thanks

I have set the Left([DSERDBA_RECEIPTS].[RCTH_RECEIPT_NO],8) AS [DISTRIBUTION DT] field property to Short Date, 99/99/0000;0;_ . When I run the query I get that field formated as a short date, but when I try to create a table from the same query the data returned is no longer in the date format. Is there something I can do to have the make table results look like what I get when I just run the query without creating a table?
SELECT
DSERDBA_RECEIPTS.RCTH_ID_CASE AS [CASE],
DSERDBA_RECEIPTS.RCTH_DT_RECEIPT AS [DT RCTH],
Left([DSERDBA_RECEIPTS].[RCTH_RECEIPT_NO],8) AS [DISTRIBUTION DT], DSERDBA_DISBURSEMENTS.DSB_DT_DISBURSE INTO [TABLE 1]
FROM [UNIVERSE OF CASES] INNER JOIN (DSERDBA_RECEIPTS INNER JOIN DSERDBA_DISBURSEMENTS ON DSERDBA_RECEIPTS.RCTH_RECEIPT_NO = DSERDBA_DISBURSEMENTS.DSB_RECEIPT_NO) ON [UNIVERSE OF CASES].STAT_CASE_ID = DSERDBA_RECEIPTS.RCTH_ID_CASE
WHERE (((DSERDBA_RECEIPTS.RCTH_ID_CASE)="20028570P"));

How can I do this? There doesn't seem to be an member of Field called format. Why is this? I want to make the display on a Boolean field, in a Table made from a Make Table Query, to Yes/No, rather than default 0/-1.

My Access DB has two tables linked to excel spreadsheets. Excel is the only way I can acquire this data from another source. The Excel spreadsheets update themselves on a regular basis.
My problem is that one of the fields in the spreadsheet needs to be formatted as a date and I have been unable to get Excel to handle this automatically.
Is there some way that I can date format a field in a table that is linked to an Excel spreadsheet?
Unless I can figure this out, I have to manually be involved with each Excel Update.
Thanks in advance.

I have an issue with queries not showing sufficient decimal points, even though the underlying table does have the formatting I desire.
If I open Table 1 directly, for Field 1 I have a value of 0.1439254445378153860918842318 using a format of decimal / fixed / Precision: 18 / Scale: 0 / Decimal: 2 and it shows in the table as 0.14 until I click on the cell in which case I get the full value above.
This is how I want it to show (0.14). When I run a query on this table, not setting any formats in the query, I get 0.00, and clicking on the cell only provides a result of 0. I've tried a ton of different underlying formats on Table 1, and been unable to get a different result...

Ok everyone, I need your help. I知 trying to create a simple database template for robotics teams in MS Access hopefully to be used in our upcoming season, if we have one. I知 using MS Access 2003 and I知 trying to create a Transaction Log table like this.
Description Amount Date Balance
