View Replieshow can i limit an unbounded textbox so only digits from 0-9 will be entered
View RepliesHi guys,
I have a text box, which requires a 8-digit number entry. I have wrote the code to check that the length is 8 and if it isn't a label will turn visible next to the field telling the user entry must be 8 digits.
This works for when i enter a number less than 8-digits but when i input a number with more digits as it does not fit into the text box it turns it to a scientific format value and when the code runs it shows the length is actually 8! And therefore the entry is valid!
I.e. when i input 123456789 the text box shows 1.23E+08 which is 8 charecters!
I dont want any error messages to pop up as i handle them by code and use labels to show the error message next to the problem field and i would like to keep this consistent. Is there any way i can do this by a function or a property in the table or form?
I appreciate any help/advice
cheers
I have a table where there is information stored about certain workorders.. like location, description, etc.
The thing is that location is descripted as "03-LZ-.." where the 03 part stands for the departement. I have another table with all the numbers and departements and now I'm looking for a way to link the two. So I have to find a way to look at the first to digits of the "location" in my workorder table and link that number with the table where numbers and departements are stored.
Hi,
I'd like to know if this is possible and if so, how to do it.
I have a couple of text fields, let's say text1 and text2. I would like the following functionality:
if text1 = "somevalue"
then allow entry into text2
else disable entry into text2
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

I have a db with around 400 records. It contains user's basic information such as first name, last name, supervisor...
Problem is that one supervisor can be multiple users supervisors so they are showing up a lot each time I use the search tool. Is there a way to disable searches on the supervisor field?
I am trying to increase a text box field size from 64 characters to 100. I know text fields can hold 255 characters, but whenever I make the change and try to save it, a warning pops up."Not enough diskspace or memory"
View 11 Replies View RelatedI have a table that has several fields including CallID (autonumber) and SKU (text)
SKU can be anything up to 9 characters, sometimes numeric sometimes alphanumeric. For example: 24300, AA23145, G58d444, 24999, 89332,...
Based on the Count of CallID I can easily get the top20 calls on each SKU. This is the query I use for that:
Code:
SELECT TOP 20 Count(Calls.CallID) AS CountOfCallID, Calls.SKU
FROM Calls
GROUP BY Calls.SKU
HAVING ((Not (Calls.SKU) Is Null))
ORDER BY Count(Calls.CallID) DESC;
The problem is that now I have been asked to create two different lists. One that has the top 20 SKU that range from 24520 and 24599 and another one that does the res tof the SKUs.
Obviously my problem is that the SKU field is text, not numbers so I can't just limit the results in the query by using "Between 24520 and 24500" in the query criteria.
I have a database that uses the SSN as the primary key, but only the last 4 digits of the SSN need to be shown on the reports that are generated. I can't figure out how to use the Left function to extract only the last 4 digits. For example if a SSN were: 123-45-6789 I would want the field to read ***-**-6789, or just 6789 whichever is easiest. I would appreciate any help that could be given.

I'm bulding this database where the user will have to insert a full phone number. What I would like to know is? if is there any way where Access can pick the first 5 digits of the number to compare with information already imputed in. by example if the user input the number 01942789789, access pick the number 01942 to look for a match? I know I could do with two diferents fields one for the code number and other for the number, but my boss only want one field. Is there anyone that could help me
Thanks

Open the database – then open the Report: rep_Billing
I have a query that is doing some sort and count functions. The column [TYPE] is sorted then counted. Instead of sorting by the full name can the query sort based off of the first 2 characters?
Example:
On the report the first company is: AMERICAN POSTCARDS
First it separates the colors, which is good.
Then separates the [TYPE] then counts the total amount that color was that type.
However I do not want the full type to be separated out, I want it based on the first 2 characters so that the “N-“ will all stay together as a group.
Final count should say: AMERICAN POSTCARDS
GREEN RA 3
RED N- 14
RED PR 16
RED RA 12
BLUE NC 1
I know I can get this info from the report, but it has to be done at the query level because it is going to be exported into another system at that point. Thanks.
Let me know if I need to make this clearer. Thank you all.

Hi,
I am writing a very very simple query to identify postal codes from a list of addresses. The table containing the data has a field called POSTAL_CODE.
I need to exclude the last three digits of this postal code so as to only show the first 2,3,4 digits.
Example would be simple by having a query just showing the first few digits like this Left$([POSTAL_CODE],4) for example, however that will not show correctly for SK6 5LP and M2 4DJ and SK12 8LY.
I have either 2, 3, 4 digits I will need. All that is sure is - I do not want to see the last three digits. Identifying the last three is of course simple, but I cannot exclude them. Tried this
Right$([POSTAL_CODE],3) - and calling the field LAST_THREE
and then ([POSTAL_CODE]-[LAST_THREE])
However does not work because these are numbers and letters.
Probably a simple one, can someone please help - perhaps a query that sounds like this : show all but not Right$([POSTAL_CODE],3)

Hello, I'm trying to use wildcards to filter for records that contain a date somewhere within the string.
I'm using Like "*#.##.##*" which works for dates that have a day of the months >10, but what about those under?
Well, Like "*#.#.##*" only works for those with the day of month <10. Is there a wildcard character for "one or more digits"?
Also, the above example excludes Oct. - Dec. for the same reason.
help!
Thanks,

I am having massive problems with data – I have imported data only to find out that Access has not imported all of it as there is a max of 255 fields, and I have loads more!!
I think I can get round this by importing without the delimited or fixed widths into a memo field but this gives me another problem, the the first 12 digits are the ‘Ref_No’
So I have a table called tblCustMemo that I have imported, and I have 3 fields, ID (Primary Key), Ref_No (new and totally empty) and Memo.
How can I put the first 12 characters from the memo field into the Ref_No field?
Then remove the first 13 characters from the memo field (there is a space after the Customers reference number)
I presume I would do this by update queries, but I am currently at a loss!!
I tried this, just to get the first 13 characters then was going to try update query, but this only returned 7 records out of 8687!!
SELECT Custmemo_TEST.ID, Custmemo_TEST.Ref_No, Custmemo_TEST.Memo
FROM Custmemo_TEST
WHERE (((Custmemo_TEST.Memo)=Left([Custmemo_TEST]![Memo],13)));
I hope someone can help me. I have a report that prints out with the customers social security number on it. I need to change it so that only the last four digits of the SSN show, so it would like something like this XXX-XX-1234. I still want it to keep the full SSN in my Table though so we can search for the customers info with the SSN.
Is there a way that I can change it on the report only and not mess up any other forms that I have it on? Any help would be awesome!
i need to total some data, but only if the code contains 4 digits.
by this i mean.
Code --> A101 ----> Occur 35
Code --> A101A ----> Occur 1
Code --> A101B ----> Occur 5
Code --> A101C ----> Occur 3
Code --> A101D ----> Occur 5
Code --> A101E ----> Occur 5
Code --> A101F ----> Occur 5
the total i need to be displayed is 24....
you will see that the first code only has 3 digits in the code...
Can this be done? if so how please
I have a table in which i have fields that have numbers with a huge number of digits after the decimal. i.e 10.2356491876545.... when i change the properties of the field to show only two digits. it does display two digits but the number is still stored in its original format. Is there anway i can chop off the unwanted digits forever so that they are not stored in the table anymore.

Help please. Dont want to do it in VBA either. I would rather build it as an expression field or something.
I'm trying to export from a text file. However one of the fields contains 2 items of data, ie the code and name of a person.
eg 'po2 Paul O Mahony'. What I want to do is query only the code(first 3 digits) from this field. ie 'po2'. Is there a way of doing this within a query (sql) or do I have to use vbscript to solve this?
thanks
make sum of digits from a string, something like if i have txt1 = "1234567890" to make txt2 = "1+2+3+4+ ...+0".

The problem I am running into is I need a way to hide the first 5 digits of the SSN so the Managers are not able to see the entire number. How to do this? I've tried a combination of different formats, but none have been successful.
