Limiting The Number Of Characters Displayed

General :: Scientific Notation Displayed When Entering Data In Number Field
Mar 4, 2013I have a "Currency" field in a table and it holds large numbers (on which I will need to do basic arithmetic operations at some point, so I must store them as a numbers). I have set the "Standard" format on the TextBox used to display it on a form because I want to have thousand separators; I've also set "0" for decimals as I don't need to display them.
So everything displays as I want it even with the largest number that can be stored all the decimals are showing in the text field, but when I click on the field to edit the value instead of having the complete value it is displayed as scientific notation. I would like to display the complete value when editing it instead of the scientific notation, how can I achieve this, if it is possible?
A numeric example: If a user enters 1234567891012, the value displayed is indeed 1234567891012 but if they click on the field again the displayed value while editing is 1.23456789012E+11 (and it switches back to normal notation when the focus changes to another field). I would like to show 123456789012 all the time. I know that Access is capable of it most likely because if I set the Format to "Fixed" the values are always displayed completely (no scientific notation), but unfortunately I would like the thousands separators to show and it is not possible with the "Fixed" format.
Two last details, the scientific notation while editing does not kick in unless there is more than 11 digits in the number and the field width (and/or TextBox width) are sufficient to display up to 20 digits.
Total Cost Displayed
Jan 28, 2008Hi,
I have a order system which allows customers to place items on. When an item is selected and a quantity has been entered and add button is selected, this adds the item into a listbox with all the details.
Each item that is selected a quantity is selected, this would then work out a total price and this total would be displayd within the list box too.
i want to add all the totals up for that order and have it displayed within a text box.
for example:
product ID, Name, quantiy, item price, totalcost
P0001 Top 5 1.00 5.00
P0002 Top 4 2.00 8.00
P0003 Top 3 1.00 3.00
i then have a text box where i want to display the overall total for these items within. hope this helps. im really stuck on this one!!!

The Selected Value Displayed In A Combobox
Apr 29, 2005I'm sure this is simple and I'm just missing something...
I have a combo with two columns and the row source set up as a query which returns two columns.
When I click the drop-down arrow for the combo box, I get exactly what I expect.
What I want to do is initialize the combo box so that the "default" selection is displayed in the "text" or "value" section of the box. I also want to be able to update this when the user makes a selection.
I have no problems when using a list box with something like:
listbox.value = <Some Index in the listbox>
With the combo box, I've tried:
combobox.text = xxx
combobox.value = xxx
combobox.column = xxx
combobox.itemdata = xxx
combobox.listindex = xxx
The value property sort of works -- It displays the data from the first column right justified in the "text" section of the combo box. I need to have both columns displayed the way they are when the combobox is dropped down.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance...

View 1 Replies View RelatedForeign Characters Not Displayed
Dec 22, 2004When I view data in linked tables in MS Access containing foreign characters (umlauts, accents, etc), the foreign characters are not being displayed properly. It is not a font or Access setting because I am using a separate similar database (also containing linked tables) where the foreign characters are being properly displayed.
Is there a setting I'm missing in the linking of the tables? Not sure where else to check.
Expr Displayed In Form?

the name of the query is "together" and the column's name is "everyone"
Can someone please point me in the right direction

Change The Names Of Displayed Values
Jun 2, 2005I have a query that looks through a table and shows me any calls that have a status of either 'O' 'or 'C'. What I would like to have in the query result is the O or C replaced with the words Open or Closed. Then when my count will make alot more sense rather than having O 29 etc.
I have had a look through the forums on the net and I am convinced this question has been asked before, but I am struggling to find the key word to search for

Query Based On Records Displayed
Nov 29, 2005I have a continuous form based on a query with the criteria as all records where a certain field is null. From this form, the user can fill in values for the null field. I then want to click a button on the first form to open another continuous form showing the same records so the user can go on to do something else. The problem I have though, is that if I base the second form on the same query as the first form, any records where the user has filled in a value for the previously empty field will now not be included in the query results. Is there a simple way of doing this?

Apr 24, 2008Hello again my forum o' saviours, Current filter: WHERE (Assignments.[AcademicYear]) Like ([Please Enter Academic Year])AcademicYear is a field in the Assignments table (duh).

View 9 Replies View Related#deleted Displayed In Fields On Form
Aug 12, 2005Some of my collegues have been experiencing this problem with a very simple database i knocked up for them. First off some background. I have a main form (frmproperty) with 3 subforms linked to it(frmroomdata, frmlocation and frmsample). by a property code. Two of these subforms are linked (frmlocation and frmsample) these are linked by location code which is an autonumber.
These are laid out so that you fill in room data first, then location data then finally sample data. However after the location data has been filled out and a user attempts to move to the first combobox on the sample subform a message pops up saying that another user has altered the database and would you like to save changes (Impossible as they are using the database on a local drive). After this happens they reopen the form and in all the frmsample fields is "#deleted"
This doesn't happen every time...infact over the last 2 days i have been entering data myself to try and get this error with no luck. Has anyone else come across this and know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance

Clear Displayed Memobox Instructions
Oct 14, 2005Hello,
I'm new at this, but here goes. I have a memobox on a form that I set the DefaultValue to display instructions for what to enter in the memobox. I would like these instructions to be visible until the user clicks or tabs into the box. Then I would like these instructions to disappear when the user begins to type something in. I've tried using several different event scenarios, but none does exactly what I want. I don't want to use a control tip as it won't appear until the user actually enters the memobox and I want the instructions to be visible before that time. However, this is what I've done at this point because I haven't been able to fiqure out how else to do what I want to do.
Any help would be appreciated; I'm sure this is something very simple for all of you, but I've spent several hours trying to work my way through this.
Thanks, Charlotte
P.S. I've read many of the posts, and have gathered many helpful tips on a variety of Access topics. Thanks to all of you out there!
Count Total Displayed In Text Box??
Feb 28, 2006So...I have a table with 2 fields: Name and Times Accessed
I have three names in the table: Shane, Bill, Chris
There are multiple entries for each name with no primary key set.
The Times accessed are as follows:
Shane 2
Bill 2
Chris 1
Bill 3
Shane 5
This is what I want to do if possible:
I will have multiple text boxes on the form that will display running totals for different people in a table.
So i have three text boxes on the form. 1 for each name. i want that textbox that corresponds to each name to keep the running total for Times accessed. So, for Shane it would be 7, bill would be 5, and chris would be 1.
How/where do I do this? need more info?
Thanks...

#Error! Is Only Displayed Sometimes On Calculated Textbox
Sep 14, 2006I have a form with loads of calculated textboxes (using expressions).
Some of these also rely on other textboxes that are being calculated when the form loads.
If I load it once, some of the textboxes display #Error! but most don't.
On closing it and reloading it a second time, the textboxes that displayed #Error! the first time now display a correct value and some other textboxes display #Error! instead.
Occasionally, every control works perfectly.
Is this something to do with when the calculation on each control is run and that if the dependent calculations don't finish quickly enough?
If so, is there a way round it?
Forms :: Incorrect Name Of Form Displayed
May 6, 2014I saved my form with a particular name and I have used that name all throughout my code and it still works fine. But when I open that form, the name I see on the top of the form is not that name at all. It's actually some value I gave a combo box a while ago.

Jan 19, 2015I have a combobox which lets you select from a list of pseudonyms. Each pseud belongs to an author; authors can have multiple pseudonyms and exactly one main pseudonym. This is the table structure (picture of relationships attached below):
Code:
tblStory: StoryID (PK), AuthorID (FK), Title, etc.
tblAuthor: AuthorID (composite PK, autonumber), MainPseudID (composite PK)
tblPseud: PseudID (PK, autonumber), Pseud, AuthorID (FK)
The combobox list shows all the pseudonyms and then stores the corresponding AuthorID. At the moment, the pseudonym displayed in the combobox (once a selection has been made) is simply the first alphabetically for that particular author: for instance, if a story has AuthorID = 5, and Author 5 goes by anon, anonymous, and unknown, the combobox for that story will display "anon".
How can I make the main pseudonym (tblAuthor.MainPseudID = tblPseud.PseudID) be displayed instead?
Control source is tblStory.AuthorID
Row source:
Code:
SELECT tblPseud.AuthorID, tblPseud.Pseud, tblAuthor.MainPseudID
FROM (tblAuthor LEFT JOIN tblPseud ON tblAuthor.AuthorID = tblPseud.AuthorID)
LEFT JOIN tblStory ON tblAuthor.AuthorID = tblStory.AuthorID
ORDER BY tblPseud.Pseud;
Reports :: Preventing Fields From Being Displayed?
Jun 23, 2015im working on a report at the moment that will generate a standard NIP (nutritional information panel, similar to whats on the back of pretty much all packaged food products, see link below for an example)
[URL]
this in itself is pretty easy, however depending on which market we're selling to, different countries have different requirements for which data is to be shown, ie some markets might require we show how much sodium but not how much fiber, others might require us to show how much carbs and sugars but not how much vitamin C and so on (all up there are 16 different variables for nutritional info, due to size requirements on our packaging we cant simply display all 16 all the time)
at the moment im designing a form which has a drop down box (for the user to select a product) and checkboxes for each of the 16 variables (kilojules, carbs, iron, trans fats, sat fats, etc) following this ive got a report that has all 16 variables on it
i can make the variables that arent ticked on the form invisible (by adding a bunch of IF or Case statements, on print of the report, that determine whether the corresponding checkbox for each variable has been ticked and setting the "visible" attribute to true or false accordingly), however when they are invisible there is still a blank space where the field is meant to be ive got all the fields grouped together, is there any way of making fields invisible and then pushing all the visible fields together so there are no blank spaces?

Jun 14, 2012I am having trouble getting the ID of the current record displayed on a form. The code I have written is this:
Code:
Dim ProjID As Long
ProjID = Forms![ProjectDetailsAll].CurrentRecord
The problem is that this code returns the record number relative to other records (so, this record is number 2634 of 2634). However, I am trying to get the ID of the record, which is an autonumber and is not the same as the record's order amongst other records. There have been record deletions ahead of this record, so the ID might be 3096 even though CurrentRecord tells me that this record is number 2634. Is there another way of writing this to get what I need?
