the standard value for the yes/no datatype = no..I try to set the standard value to yes but I can not be allowed for yes ? how do I set it to yes ? I have open the table, then I could not change to yes.
View RepliesIn one record (or row?) there I have 10 fields (columns), how can i find the standard deviation of those 10 numbers. Seems to only want to be able to do standard deviation if all data is in one field or column. I tried doing a query but same thing, if all the fields are across, it doesatn find the standard deviation of them. Please help this worthless access user. Thank you, I look foward to all the help I can get. As you can see, I still am struggling with even terminology. Excel is easy to me, access is a challenge to say the least.
View 3 Replies View RelatedDoes anybody know if it is possible to set extra code to any of the standard navigation buttons?
In other words, is there is Sub that corresponds to each navigation button that can be modified?
For example, for "Next>", is there a

End Sub

I have a combo box which is used to find a record on the form. I have set LimitToList = Yes and put in code for the event NotInList.
My problem is that my code is working fine allowing me to produce my own message, but then the standard message appears as well saying "The text you entered is not an item in the list"
Has anyone any ideas please?
:rolleyes: I have a note field in a table for short description of a building parts. Is it posseble to make some standard text in a form with a "values" between the text to choose from?
Like:
This building is from "text field for input"
The roof is made of "a combobox with 4-5 items to choose from".
The standard text with the choosen values should then be sent to a note field at submit.
Like: This building is from 1945
The roof is made of tegl

From a form build a report using standard paragraphs using a combo or list box . Paragraphs may vary in length but must format correctly on the report. NO SPACES MUST BE LEFT BETWEEN PARAGRAPHS. Also the form must allow editing of the standard paragraph. ie where there is perhaps a change of name etc: ALSO is it possible to exceed the 255 characters in a text box ?

Hi
I am getting fed up of repeatedly modifying the basic new form in Access 2003 since I hate Tahoma and I never want dividing lines and I always want the VBA to be Option Explicit and I have my own ideas on colour schemes etc. etc.
Every new form I enter I have to make all the changes manually and simply wondered if I am being an ass. I can modify templates in Word and Excel so if I could do the same thing in Access I could save myself cumulative hours of work.
I cannot seem to find anything so does everyone else bow to what Microsoft think a form should look like or do you all do what I do and endlessly recreate the same starting point for each form???
Any pointers would be 110% wonderful!!
Best wishes
I know that a public constant is available to all subs and modules. I also know that you can only declare these in a module, you can't for example declare these in the form.
So how what is the best way of declaring them?
At the moment I just have a module that has nothing else except for the 3-4 constants that I use throughout all my forms. Is that ok?
I need to restrict the random autonumber feature to 10 digits and a positive number for a primary key. I work in the medical field, and HIPAA privacy regulations require the use of random ID numbers to identify records. Also, I need the numbers to be positive numbers because we will be using barcode scanning equipment and the possibility of truncating the negative identifier creates the possibility (admittedly remote) of having a duplicate PK barcodes. I understand that we cannot change the Access feature, but any VBA code to generate a truly random 10 digit positive number I can use as a PK?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a query that filters results only outside of 1 standard deviation of the mean. Is there an option for this in the criteria spot? I'm fairly new to Access and I'm not sure if I can reference a particular cell in the criteria.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've built a system with around 20 tables in it. All of these use the standard ID field offered by default by Access as the primary key. A friend with a background in database design and development for large corporates using Oracle has reviewed the database (he is going to do some VBA programming for me) and suggested that we use more appropriate primary keys based on data attributes.
He has read "somewhere" that there are problems with the standard ID fields and that occasionally the fields are renumbered/reindexed and that this can cause problems. There are a fair number of queries and some complex forms which will need to be updated for these changes but it would be a shame to go through all this work if it isn't really.
Should we use the standard Access IDs and is it worth a chunk of effort to change from where we are now?
Hi,
I have generated a standard form for displaying/editing of data and I have also created a form for generating Sql query statements (The form builds a string but does not execute the query). Can I execute a query and use it with that form.
So when I generate the the SQL statement and execute the query it loads the form (With Data) instead of a query datasheet. Thank you.
I am filling in a database using forms, and I would like to be able to add standard values to any field using a macro/VBA code I don't want to set up a different macro for each field though - I have around 40 different fields (to elaborate, it's a mark database for student projects, each field is a different thing I am commenting on. I want to quickly add 'Missing' or 'Good' to a field - but I also want the option of free text instead.).can't figure how to do it in MS Access.

I've posted this in my usual Excel forum without any response so I figure someone here might be able to help. I'm using an SQL query in an Excel VBA macro to extract info from an Access table and dump it into an Excel worksheet, which works fine except for a Memo field, which is truncated to one character length - text fields are fine, just this one Memo field. I'm using the Microsoft DAO 3.6 library. Any ideas?

I have a bunch of queries put in 1 macro. Of course, some queries have the same parameter [Enter current monthend] so when I run a macro, there are few popups asking to [Enter current monthend]. It’s annoying for users to put in the same parameter 2 or 3 times for a report. Is there a way to avoid it?
I tried to make [Enter current monthend] as a new_field so the 2nd query could pick up new_field instead of [Enter current monthend] again but that gave me an error b/c the new_field automatically has ‘binary’ datatype instead of ‘date’ datatype. How can I fix this?
Thanks.

When I export or do a make table query from Oracle to Access, the new table has some of the datatypes changed. Many of my numberic fields are decimal instead of Long Interger. I then need to go and manually cahnge them back. If I forget or miss one, it crashes another application we use.
Has anyone come up with a solution to automatically go through the table structure and change the datatype from one format to another? This would be a great help.
I am using Oracle 9i and Access 2002.
Thanks for you time

I'm a having a problem with a Yes/No datatype. Fundamentally, my code looks like this:
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM tblAddresses " & _
" WHERE YPID = " & Me.Parent.IDNUMBER & " AND CurrentAddress = yes"
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(strSQL)
Now this statement returns 3 records even though only 1 Current Address exists.
false also returns 3 records
true also returns 3 records
no also returns 3 records
-1 also returns 3 records
0 also returns 3 records
1 RETURNS 0 records!!
If I look at the table in Access, I only have 1 CurrentAddress record for my IDNumber.
I have a problem with changing a datatype into a number. The thing is that all the fields are in text and i want to change some of them to a number datatype. If i try to change the field to a number i get a message that come up as This:The setting for the field size property of on or more fields has been changed to a shorter size. If data lost, validation rules may be violated as a result. I try to export it into an excel file and change all the field that i need to be a number and convert them into a number and it work by when i import them back into access they don't change.
View 6 Replies View RelatedDear All,
I have a property database linked to ArcView 3.1. It has a field that links to the ArcView Database called ID which is unique and set to a data type of double.
I have a further form that can go straight to a record if you know it's ID.
This form works fine so long as the ID field is no more than 5 digits. I have a series of polygons that have six figure ID's - the link to arcview works fine using these six fig ID fields however the form that looks for that particular ID can't cope with the six figure numbers...
My problem is although I could change all the ID's of the records in the Database so that the search on ID worked (ie five figure id) they then wouldn't match with the overlay in ArcView and I would not be able to link through using code without first changing and matching all the codes associated with the polygons (time consuming)
I did try changing the datatype of the ID field to long integer but still have the same problem. Strange that the search works for five figure IDs and not six.
Does anyone know whether this is a data type error or is it some simple oversight.? I can probably work out some way of changing all the ID fields to five figures but would prefer to keep the six figures as they are used in some pre-printed material as refs
Thanks in advance
Mark
