Hello guys,
Does anybode has any idea, of how to do that ? I can do it very easy in VB.NET, or C#, but in Access I give up.
So, I have to take data from the form , and send it to Sub.
With data type of String , I have no any problem, use Nz funciton, end everything, goes well.
But with Date and Integer, I can not find solution.
So :
Date
Dim PensionerFromDate as Date
PensionerFromDate = IIf(IsNull(Me.txtPDPensionerFromDate) = True, ????, Me.txtPDPensionerFromDate)
(instead of ???? i tried everything .. dbNull, vbEmpty, vbNull,sqldatenull, and somtimes it works but int the table stores "12/301899")
Integer
Dim CompanyID as integer
CompanyID = IIf(Me.cboCompany.Column(0) = 0, ????? , Me.cboCompany.Column(0))
I tried here instead of ????, tu insert "", ",," , " " , Cint("") itd. itd. . but nothing works.
Has anybody any idea ?
100 x thanks in advance
I was wondering if there is a way to export the Table Design Structure:
1) Field Name
2) Data Type
3) Description
Into a Spreadsheet.
I was able to do this a long time ago, but can't seem to remember. I'm using Access 2000.
Thanks!

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a field in a table that is comprised of mostly numerical data but some records are text.
I want to convert this field to numerical only and make a new field to put the textual data in.
However converting the field will delete the textual data. What is the easiest way to convert the field but save the textual data AND append the textual data to the SAME record that they were in originally in the new field?

Access 2002/2003. I have inherited an old Access 2000 database where one of the fields in the table had a Number data type with TEXT in it. I noticed the wrong data type and I change it to text. All appeared OK until I attached a combo box to this field. When clicking in or opening the combo box in any row in this table with the old text, I get an error message: "The value you entered isn't valid for this field. For example, you may have entered text in a numeric field or a number that is larger than the FieldSize setting permits." This field has about 3,000 records in it, and it appears to be corrupted and a permanent numeric field, I have tried everything to fix it: Compact and Repair; Import, append, and update this field into another table/field and I cannot get rid of the error message. How do I get that Number field finally and completely converted into a TEXT field? Anyone got any ideas? Thank-You! :o
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to use SQL to run queries in our access database in order to (hopefully) speed things up. I'm trying to create code that basically takes data from one table and inserts it into another whilst doing calculations on the data.
However I can't get past this:
Code:
Private Sub Test_Click()
Dim strSQL As String
strSQL = "CREATE TABLE [TempRedAmberGreen]" & _
"AS (SELECT " & _
"[ID_CHK] String," & _
"[Red] String," & _
"[Amber] String," & _
"[Green] String)" & _
"FROM [035 - Meter Point HH Data];"
DoCmd.RunSQL strSQL
End Sub
It keeps saying "Run-time error '3292': Syntax error in field definition.
I previously created 2 tables:
One lists all the stock symbols and company names = SYMBOL
The second table lists the purchase information for each stock = PURCHASE
I then created many queries, etc. using this data. Symbol is the key link between the various tables, queries, etc.
NOW that I understand the lookup wizard in the data type, I would like to change the symbol field in the purchase table to a Lookup field. I, of course, receive a message. I am told to delete the relationship with the other tables. If I remove the relationships and change the data type, can I then replace the relationship with out damaging all the queries and forms?

Hi,
Trying to get back into Access after some time now and could do with some help please...
I have 2 tables, one table stores titles (mr, mrs, etc). I tried using the 'lookup' data type to link the data from the other table.
This however stores the field as a number and causes problems as only a number is shown rather that the text (in the tables).
How can I set it so Mr, Mrs, Miss can be displayed in a drop down list, rather than the Primary Number (ie Auto number).
Make any sense?
TIA
I'm a bit of a newbie, so lets just get that out of the way....
I have a field in a table that was originally a text data type. I want to change it to a "lookup" data type using the lookup wizard. However, Access doesn't allow me to do this and prompts me with "You can't change the data type....its part of one or more relationships...". But there are no relationships? There may have been previously, but I've deleted them all from Relationships window.
This has happened several times now. I am in the process of designing the database and have been changing my mind about data types when I realize that I can use a lookup data type. The only fix I have found is to make a copy of the table in question and then change the data type of the problem field. Unfortunately this screws up my forms...which is a pain.
Why would Access say that there are relationships in the relationships window when in fact there are none?
I've attach a copy of my db. The field in question is located in the "Activities" table. The field name is "ACTIVITY_NAME". I am trying to use a lookup from the activityNames table using the "ActivityName" column.
Thanks for any help in this matter.
Hi all,
I have a question about an Access form that I am creating. I have a "Due Notes" field, which has Memo data type and I create a form "Estimates" using a text box with the control source is that "Due Notes" field to enter notes when needed.
Although I have the vertical scroll bar for that text box (due to other controls, I can not size the text box too big), does anybody know how to display that text box in form "Estimates" with the data of the last text within the size of the box without scrolling down so I can start typing for the next entry? Do I make sense to you?
Please help and let me know if you know HOW. Thanks so much in advance.
Is it possible to set the yes/no data type fields in an Access table to behave like radio buttons? In other words, if they click yes in one data field, it automatically prevents them from clicking yes in the next data field. If so, how?

View 6 Replies View RelatedMy database consists of one large table of approx 3.9m rows and about 12 different columns. One of my columns is of a data type "date/time" but i need the format of this column to be "text"
The problem is that when I right click the table/go to design view/ and try to change the data type, I get the error "Microsoft Access can't change the data type. There isn't enough disk space or memory."
Which means i can't take the easy way out. Is there a way I can just create a new identical table and change the data type of my one column? I was thinking there might be something in SQL I could do, or some how in creating an identical table where only the field type has changed. I should note, I looked up this using the access in file, and it appears the ALTER TABLE SQL will not work on my machine.
the dataset was created from a txt file which as been lost to the ether, and I can't import the database into excel using a macro I didn't write unless the format of my column is text.
In my database i have a field for Tonnage (quantity) ...
I need for example to input 38.60 or 37.89 so my values must have 2 decimal places, ive searched and found changing my field type to double or decimal should solve the 'numbers rounding up/down' but access will not let me change the data type?

I want to set my insert such that
Insert into tableA (x,y,z) = (SELECT x,y,z FROM tableB)
WHERE NOT EXISTS (select x,y FROM tableA,tableB WHERE tableA.x = tableB.x AND tableA.y = tableB.y)
Basically I want to insert data in tableA from tableB if it does not exist in tableA yet.
Access says I'm not writing an updateable query.
