Hi all,
I have a column in my DB that is actually for NASCAR car numbers. Some of which use leading zero's and some don't. i.e. There is a 01 car, a 1 car, but also an 8, and a 08, etc. If I use the Number data type, I lose the leading zero's, but it can be sorted by car number easily. If I use text, it displays the number properly, but the sorting is "ICK." Is there a way to get the best of both worlds?
Thanks,
I got a field in my client table which stores their phone numbers, ive selected number for data type but it removes the leading zeros.
How do i ensure the full number which has been entered remains?
Hey guys, I'm new, and I am sure this has been asked 10000 times before. I have tried finding the answer, but cannot.
Anyway...
I have an item number field [Serial_Number] that is pulling its information from a company database table. All item numbers should be 6 digits. For example:
1764 should be 001764
98 should be 000098
01888 should be 001888
Make sense?
I cannot make changes to the table, so really I just need to format Access' output to have the leading O's. I tried an append query, but that did not work because I do not have access to change anything (I could have not done it right).
It seems like this should be a simple answer.
Thank you!
Scott
Hi
I've tried searching the forum but cannot find anything relevant.
My problem is I have a combo box in an access form which displays dates from a table. The table field and the combo box format is set to short date. When the value changes the data on the form body changes relevant to the selected date. This works fine except when the date has a leading zero (e.g. 06/03/2006) in which case no data is displayed. I have a variable of type date which takes the value of the combo box and then an sql statement which uses this variable. I have used breakpoints and foudn that the variable has a value of (e.g.) 06/03/2006 and this is how the date is stored in my table. I'm wondering if I'll need to do something with totext, turn the date into a string and make sure it has the leading zero?
Do you know if this is a known problem with access/access forms? If anyone can point me in the right direction as to why the code has a problem with leading zeros I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
My code is:
Private Sub cboDate_Change()
Dim datTemp As Date
datTemp = cboDate.Value
''cboDate.SetFocus
Form.SetFocus
Form.RecordSource = "SELECT [staff].[staff_id], [staff].[lastname], [staff].[forename], [staff].[bocs_name], [staff].[headset], [staff].[phone_uic], [staff].[bocs_uic], [staff].[group], [staff].[type], [staff].[email], shifts.* FROM staff LEFT JOIN shifts ON [staff].[staff_id]=[shifts].[staff_id] WHERE [staff].[type] <> 'Leaders' AND (((shifts.date) Is Null Or (shifts.date)= #" & datTemp & "#))"
End Sub
I have a text field as 6 bytes but my vendor requires this field to be as shown in the example (sequential). Is their an easy to do this in the table?
000001
000002
000010
000011
thanks
This is probably an easy question by comparison to some of these others.
I have a table where a transaction number is always 8 digits. If the number is not 8 digits, it should start with zeros, such as
12345 should be 00012345
123456 should be 0123456
Is there a simple and fast way to do this? It can also be done in a form, since I enter the data through there. Will it be necessary to change the field from a number to a text data type?
Hi
I have a table called "Amount" that has the amounts as follows: 45.40, 35.60 etc.
I need to add 5 zeroes to the start of each individual amount so this can be imported into another system (E.g 0000045.40, 0000035.60 etc).
Can anyone please help with how to do this?
I currently have the format as Currency and it is exporting the £ symbol when I am choosing to export as a fixed width txt file. When I change the format to number, it is rounding the values up/down which I do not want it to do!
Thanks for any advice.

I need to take 255.14 and make it a 7 character text field with leading zero's. I can't get the conversion to text right. It still recognizes the decimals and removes teh leading zeros. 255.14 to 0000255
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am formatting a table to be exported via fixed width and one of the main frame requirments is to have the dollar amount with leading zeros. So if a dollar amount is 500.02, I would need to update the tables dollar amount to 00000000000050002. Since the dollar amount will change, I will only need the leading zeros for the blank spaces because the field is right justified (for the mainframe).
Hopefully I am making sense.
Thanks for your help.
I have a table and one of the entries requires a 10 digit number. I have added "0000000000" as the format, but in the form to populate the field if I only enter 6 digits it just adds leading zeros.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a query and i want to join 2 fields together
eg. JOB:[Type_id] & [Number_id]
this works fine but i need to put an input mask on the field
type id is 2 letters
number id is 4 numbers (0001)
however whan the filed JOB is created all leading 0's from Number id are lost
how can i prevent this

I am using the format below to give me Year-WkNo and the leading zeros are not being put in so when a report is ran the yyyy-ww is not sorted correctly. Is there a way to get Jan 2007 week 1 to come out 2007-01?
YearMonth: Format([F Jobs Stats_sub2].[MaxofWork_Date],"yyyy-ww")
Thanks,

I have a query where I am geting the last 4 digits from an id. However my query when it returns the results misses out the leading zero from the results. For instance if I had an id of 12340567 the query should return 0567 but instead it returns 567. This is what I am using:Max(Right([Employee]!

How to find out Leading spaces and spaces after customer name in access Database.
I have been working in Access 2007 creating a database. For the most part I've been able to figure everything out but I have a field where I'm putting a three digit code. It has an input mask, that is set as a text file, and is "000". I thought that would force all three numbers to show even if there was a zero in front.
However, the leading zeros are being removed and I can't figure out how to make them stay so that I can see them.
I am using following statement current_date = Format(current_date, "m/dd/yyyy")
My goal is to format any dates like 9/1/2014 into 9/01/2014. But this is not working.
Is there a way to format date 9/1/2014 into 9/01/2014? In this case, current_date is a variable of type DATE.
I'm learning as I go and this is probably a basic question but if I have an alpha numeric field of variable lenght, i.e. AUI856Z....how to I format it so that it is 19 characters long with leading zeros, i.e. 000000000000AUI856Z.:confused:
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a form which a order number is put in and is compared to data which has been pulled from the system. The issue I'm having is that that on the software we take the orders on it adds zeroes in front of the numbers to make it up to an 8 digit sequence, but generally when people input into the Access system they are ignoring the zeroes.
how to get zeroes in front of a sequence of numbers (ie 1234 to 00001234) however our order numbers also have different two letter combination at the front depending on the product type.Is it possible to somehow edit a text box on a form so that after AJ1234 is inputted it would automatically change to AJ00001234, or at the very least be able to perform a DLookUp on data which is in the form AJ00001234?
I have an INSERT query like so:
Code:
INSERT INTO table1 (column1, column2, column3, column4, column5)
SELECT (field1, field2, field3, field4, field1 & "" && field2)
FROM mastertable
According to the format desired by a client, column5 from table1 needs to have field1 and field2 concatenated and represented as two-digit numbers if they're a one digit (has a leading zero).
I have a table with (integer) numbers! using the format "00000" i can make sure that it will be 5 digits.
No i am aiming to combine the five digit number with a text in another column and do not succed at all.
what i want to get:
column A: number (e.g. 1)
column B: number 4 digits (e.g. 0001)
column C: number combined with string (e.g. ab0001cd)
Of course it would be a nice one to skip the coluimn B! - what ever i tried ended up in sth. like "ab1cd" at the best....
I have two tables.
table a contains a list of numbers (ie invoice)
10215
10316
15751
16925
016744
012458
table b contains the same numbers but with leading zeros:
000000010215
000000010316
000000015751
000000016925
000000016744
000000012458
How can I make a match query to show me the results 1 ie:
10215 = 000000010215
10316 = 000000010316
012458 = 000000012458
I tried the opposite with a module stripzeros() but that gives me wrong data as it removes all the leading zeros.
Greetings all
Came across a problem and wanted to see if anyone else has seen this or knows the cause.
I am working in Access 2003.
I have two tables stored in a backend. One table updates the other. The database I inherited was doing this via the copyobject. I wanted to use a del query to delete recs in target table then an append query to update from source table to target table.
Both tables have data fields named in the following format: 01/2007, 02/2007, etc.
If I write a select query and save it, it works fine. However, if I write an Append query, the INSERT clause chops off the leading 0 of all fields upon save which causes the query to not work correctly. Anyone know why this happens?
TIA

Hi everyone,
I have 2 linked tables from 2 different databases, there is a common field in both: “CORP_NBR” I need this field in order to create a join, but the problem is that in one table this field stores leading zeros and in the other table it doesn’t. I can see in design view that this field is text type in both tables. I cannot change field types because I don’t own the objects.
Is there a way or a function that I can add in my join query to ignore leading zeros? :confused:
I appreciate your help
I have an alphanumeric primary key that goes

When i get to REF9999 and enter REF10000 it does not store it after REF9999 but stores it after REF100. Why is this ?
Is there a quick way that i can add leading 0's onto my records. So it will read
REF000001

I have a text box control bound to a text field
I need the value to look like this 00000014 (with the leading zeros) but stored without like this 14
The user may paste the entire value in or hand enter with or without the leading zeros
Regardless of the input method I need 8 characters to be seen on the form.
I tried entering 8 zeros 00000000 in the format property of the control but that only displays what I type (no leading zeros)
I've got this on the afterUpdate event. It formats correctly regardless of the input method (displays the leading values) but also stores them
Code : Me.ARReferenceID = Format(ARReferenceID, "00000000")
