How To Create Field Whose Name Ends With A Blank?
Mar 19, 2015
I have a very unusual situation where I need the name of a field in an Access table to end with a blank (i.e. space). I tried doing it trivially while in Design View but no dice. I tried it through some SQL along the lines of the following pseudo code
Select [old table].[Address] as [Address2 ], [old table].*
Into [new table]
From [old table]
but the new field's name "Address2 " lost the final space.A third try was through some syntax for an Alter Table statement to add or modify a field. It didn't pan out.

I have comboboxes on forms that i have entered the values for the drop down list in.They are on a form with textboxes and go through a one to many relationship via an intermediate table.I deleted one value from the list as it was no longer required and i also deleted the records that used to use that name.
When i looked at the list, the value is still there?I tried inserting a new Combo Box - the same?Will it clear if i create a new blank Database and import everything?

Is there a way to create a relationship so when a new record is entered into the main table it automatically creates a new row/record in the related table with just the foreign key entered?

For the company I am doing my thesis, I developed a tool in MS Access for monitoring sales data, customers, employee data etc…
The tool is working with a front-end database, installed locally on every PC and a Back-end on the company’s server ( Located at city Genk)
The tool is working smooth on the location in Genk.
But then the problem occurs when this tool had to be used on an other company location, 100km from the server (Antwerp); the waiting and loading times are very long, even for the smallest data.
Obvious this is because the companies network from one location to another is too slow. But because of financial reasons I’m looking for a software solution.
An idea is to create a Back-end server for each location, for all local data and one general back-end server for unique data ( for instance: there has to be a unique calculation number for each calculation made in the entire company).
I think this will decrease waiting times for some data, but not all…
Or does anyone have an other idea?

Hi guys,
I need help with security settings and that. I have a database which i want available on a shared server. Basically i only want people to beable to see one form but not beable to see anything else or make any changes to this form.
Do i need to split and make a front and back end? I will want to make occasional changes to tables etc.. and so would want this to automatically update on the database seen by everyone else.
Sorry, not making much sense but am bit confused about it all!
Any help from some clever peeps?

fInTrans = False
Set wsp = DBEngine.Workspaces(0)
wsp.BeginTrans
fInTrans = True
DoCmd.OpenQuery "query1"
DoCmd.OpenQuery "query2"
DoCmd.OpenQuery "query3"
DoCmd.OpenQuery "query4"
wsp.CommitTrans
C4Exit:
Set wsp = Nothing
Exit Sub
C4Err:
MsgBox Err.Description
If fInTrans Then
wsp.Rollback
End If
Resume C4Exit
I WANT TO RUN 4 BIG APPEND QUERYS BUT IF USER PRESS ESCAPE BUTTON BEFORE ALL QUERYS ARE FINISHED - THEN ALL RECORD CHANGES MADE BY THOSE QUERYS MUST BE CANCELED.

I have a small system that consists of a back end data base and 2 front ends. having 2 front ends was a historic reason but they cover 2 distinct processes in the system.
I now have the need for using the same module(s) in both front ends. Each has a copy which is fine if nothing changes but when it does I have to apply the changes made (or copy over in its entirety) from one front end to the other.
Although this is no big deal I can forsee it slipping through the net.
Can 2 front ends access the SAME module and if so how?

I have (on a company network) a FrontEnd .accde and a backend .accdb - currently ~ 10 users (some over wifi - slow!)The FrontEnd is becoming a rather large file ~ 10 MB and is also becoming slower.I am looking to separate this in to 3 FrontEnd files as to simplify and to lessen the file sizes etc.
My question is - are there any issues around a 3 x FrontEnd databases all connecting to 1 x backend database holding all the tables - over a network?

Hi -
Just a reminder that US Daylight Savings Time ends 4 Nov 2007 (First Sunday in November) at 0200, at which point the time (minus Indiana) reverts to 0100.
If getting your PC to cooperate is a problem, you might check the following for guidance:

I have a form containing a subform. The subform is opened in data entry mode, so it displays no existing records. However if the user right-clicks the form and selects a sort, all records are displayed. Is there any way to stop this behavior so that the form remains in data entry mode?

I have a combo box that contains a list of values, but users can add their own if they choose. If the value they type in isn't on the list, the Not In List event fires. Once the procedure is done, the form inexplicably closes.
Oddly enough, it only closes under certain circumstances - the code provides several different options for saving the new data, and if I choose different options, the form works as its designed.
Further, if I insert a breakpoint anywhere in the code, then hit F5 to let the code run, the form works fine. Literally, the breakpoint can be anywhere in the procedure from the first line (On Err...) to the last line in the Exit block, "Exit Sub".

How do I hide or disable the File tab in Access 2010 on my front ends?
The file tab being present allows end user to get into Privacy Options and Printing. Printing is okay if I could disable the Privacy Options for end users, then it wouldn't matter if they have access to the File Tab.
Possible very serious security issue!

My question encompasses a front end connected to multiple back ends. It is probably a mundane point, but reading a few articles didn't seem to touch on it.
By this, let me toss out that I am thinking of the personnel where I work when I say 95% have a hard time using email and MS Word, let alone mundane functions like find a file, etc. As such, I have to make my front-ends extremely user friendly.
With that in mind, when developers have multiple back ends, what are thoughts about the best way to relink when required? Even when there are 'more sophisticated' users? Security not an issue or is an issue (inasmuch as can be handled in access)?
Ex: Large corporation with a multitude of user ability. Large database with say 3 different back ends.
I was thinking about keeping a front-end table with each table name and UNC path, hard coding paths to corresponding table names, etc.
Personally I don't have a need for multiple back-ends, but the question came up while reading.

Hi all
I have a numeric field in a form which initially is set to 0. When the user clicks or tabs to this field, it is blanked out in the got focus event by setting the field to "". This works great. Now, if the user exits the field by clicking elsewhere or tabing out of it, without entering a value, I would like the 0 value to be inserted again. I have tried many things to make this work without any success. Is there someone who knows the right way to do this?
Thanks in advance

I am building a query for a report - I want to concatenate several fields, but if one of them is blank I don't want it added to the concatenation.
Example: LastName= Kamp
FirstName= Jay
SpouseFirstName = ""
It is ok if the SpouseFirstName is not null
Kamp, Jay & Jill
This is what I get when SpouseFirstName="": Kamp, Jay &
What I want to see when SpouseFirstName="": Kamp, Jay
SELECT Inventory.Code, Inventory.MLS, Inventory.Pin, Inventory.LockBox, Inventory.Vacant, concatenate Code: Original - concatenate Code [LastName] & ", " & [FirstName] & " & " & [SpouseFirstName] AS Expr1, [LastName] & ", " & [FirstName] & " & " & [SpouseFirstName] AS Expr1, Inventory.CompanyName, Inventory.Phone, Inventory.Phone2, Inventory.Cell, Inventory.OfficePhone, Inventory.Ext, Inventory.Fax, Inventory.PropertyDesc, Inventory.Address, Inventory.City, Inventory.State, Inventory.Zip, Inventory.email, Inventory.SellerAddress, Inventory.SellerCity, Inventory.SellerState, Inventory.SellerZip, Inventory.TPUser, Inventory.TPPwd, Inventory.Expire, Inventory.ListPrice, Inventory.OriginalListPrice, Inventory.SoldPrice, Inventory.CloseDate, Inventory.Offer, Inventory.LastName

What I need to do sounds simple but I am losing my what hair I have left to do it. I have a single table where staff rotate a responsibility every 3 months or so. What I have in one field is the surname of the person currently performing the duty and another with the surname of the person who is next to take on the duty. What I need to query is those posts where a replacement has not been identified for the next say 12 weeks.
e.g. I need to have a query that finds extracts all posts where the field (surname) of the person taking on the role is blank between (date) and (date).
Thanks for any help in advance!

I can alway make a query like the following one to table and return the records:
SELECT * FROM people WHERE PhoneNo<>"";
However, it returns nothing while it should return a lot of records if I make a query like this:
SELECT * FROM people WHERE PhoneNo="";
The PhoneNo file is of text type. As I know, this field is added after the MS database has been put into use for some time.
Can anyone please explain this to me?
Thanks,

I have the following calculated field in a query:
LoanNo:IIf([Stats].[LoanCnt]>1,[Stats].[LoanCnt] & " Loans",[Loan].[LnNo])
Within its query, it correctly displays the loan number associated with a particular loan.
However, when I run a second query
SELECT LoanNo
FROM qryLoanInfo
it comes up blank for every record (other fields are OK)
Does anyone have any idea what might be happening?
