Queries :: Design A Query To Show Only Empty Field As TEXT Fields In Table
Mar 2, 2014I am just querying a single table, no relationship involved with another table. As you can see form the attached jpeg, the ZIP field in some cases is empty. I would run a search using Is NULL but the field is NOT numerical. It's a long story but I had to make this field a TEXT field. Basically, what statement do I have to insert in the criteria field to just pull up the EMPTY ZIP fields?

How To Design Table: Use Dynamic Fields?
May 11, 2006I am designing a form for users to write letters in which they give “reasons” for denying a particular service. It is a State-required form letter and there are 7 “reasons” to deny. The user usually chooses just one “reason” and then types in (free-style) the text for the specific rationale (Memo field). Sometimes, however, they need to choose more than one “reason” so I have to design the table to accommodate up to 7 “reasons”.
For the underlying table I could create 7 fields, one for each reason, but this seems like a very inefficient use of disk space as most records would always have 6 blank fields.
Anyone have an idea for a table(s) design? I know this calls for some kind of dynamic procedure or pehaps a separate table to store the “reasons” but I am stuck and my brain is froze.
Thanks in advance for any and all replies!!
Table Design - Multiple Fields
Dec 29, 2005I'm hoping someone can help me with this one. I have a database that tracks seminars and registrations. I need to revise it as they want to allow an individual to add in up to 10 more additional people on their registration.
The simple way would be to do the following (you'll see my 10 additional fields in here), but I don't think this is the 'RIGHT' way:
Tbl_New_Registrations
Registration_Number - Autonumber - PK
Seminar_Name - Lookup (goes to Tbl_Seminars)
First_Name - Text
Last_Name - Text
Business_Name - Text
Years_in_Business - Number
Address - Text
City - Text
State - Text
Zip - Text
Phone - Text
E_Mail - Text
Questions - Memo
Additional_Registrant1 - Text
Additional_Registrant2 - Text
Additional_Registrant3 - Text
Additional_Registrant4 - Text
Additional_Registrant5 - Text
Additional_Registrant6 - Text
Additional_Registrant7 - Text
Additional_Registrant8 - Text
Additional_Registrant9 - Text
Additional_Registrant10 - Text
What I 'think' is required is an Additional_Registrants table, but I'm not sure how to do this so that when someone fills out a registration form, the 10 additional registrants go into this table and the database knows that these 10 belong to record X and so forth.
Does this make sense?
Any ideas or thoughts on this on?
Queries :: Field Did Not Appear In The List Of Fields In Design Definition
Aug 4, 2014I have a query based on a query, when I added a new field to the base query, this field did not appear in the list of fields in the design definition when I try and add to the upper query. It just shows the original fields only.
Same thing happened in a field on a report - I had to delete the field and create it again...
Updating Specific Fields In Table 1 With Fields From Table 2
Jul 6, 2012I have 2 tables.
Table 1: Master table
Table 2: Temporary table
This is my current process:
Every quarter I run a report that pulls loans that meet specific criteria.I export this report into excel (the loans fall into column A)I add a file number and box number in columns B and C.I import the excel spreadsheet to table 2 (they're linked so I don't need to import, it's automatic)
Now that I have the updated information back into the database (table 2), how can I get this information back into table 1? The excel spreadsheet only contains a few loans that need to be updated in table 1. I have tried creating an update query with both tables linked and use the "update to" field. However, when I tried to run the query, it says I have 0 records updated.
My update query is as follows:
Field: Access Bar Code
Table: Table 1
Update To: [Table 2].[Access Bar Code]
Field: Access Box Number
Table: Table 1
Update To: [Table 2].[Access Box Number]
Basically I'm trying to have the query update specific fields in table 1 based on the information from table 2.
Updating Specific Fields In Table
Dec 9, 2005Hello everybody. I am new to Access and as such I don’t know how to perform the following. Please help me out.
The project is about a library loan system. I have a database consisting of the following tables: member (MemCode, LName, …), book (BkCode, Title, TotalCopies,…), purchase (PurDate, BkCode, CopiesBought,…) and transaction (MemCode, BkCode, RentalDate,ReturnDate,Returned).
TotalCopies is the total no. of copies there are of the book
CopiesBought is the number of copies that have been purchased
RentalDate is the date on which book is being loaned
ReturnDate is the last date on which the book has to be returned
Returned is a Yes/No field to indicate if the book has been returned
In the library a member can take only one book at a time.
Problem 1:
The library may have several copies of a particular book, but all will have the same code. For example, a book, let’s say Harry Potter 6 has code 97. Initially only 1 copy of the book is purchased. When the librarian sees the book has great demand, he decides to purchase 3 more copies. All the copies will have the same code, i.e., 97. Only the TotalCopies will become 4.
BkCode is Autonumber in book table and Number in Purchase table. Relationship is 1:many.
I have a Purchase form to record details of books being purchased. I have a command button “Book form” that opens the book form when the user clicks on it. He will use it if the book being purchased is not already available in the library. What I want is:
(i)If he opens the book form to fill in details of the book, then when he closes the form I want the book details to automatically appear in the corresponding fields on the Purchase form.
(ii)The CopiesBought will have to be used to update the TotalCopies in the book table. How should I do this?
Problem 2:
When the user wants to record a loan, the system will need to check if that member already has a book which he has not yet returned. If it is so, then the system will need to provide a prompt to inform the user of this and consequently blocks the user from completing the transaction. How do I do this?
Thanking you in advance for your help.
Hotkey For Toggling Between Field Row In Table Design View And Its Field Properties?

View 1 Replies View RelatedImporting Specific Excel Fields Into A Table
Nov 17, 2004Hi all~
Does anybody know how to go about running a query or macro in Access to import specific fields from all worksheets contained in an excel workbook?
Say I have ExcelFile.xls, and it has worksheets with varying names. I want to pull fields B12, B16, B20, B24, B28 from each worksheet and create a new record in a table (one new record for each worksheet). Is there an easy way to do this other than pulling the data into a Crystal Reports pivot table or some such?
How To Clear Values In Specific Fields Based On Updating Value Of Another Field
Feb 27, 2015I am working on form where the user selects either "IN" or "OUT" from a dropdown of field name "CheckOut" in Frm1.
If they select "OUT" they will in turn need to fill in 2 additional fields. When they change the value back from "OUT" to "IN",
I want those other fields to be cleared of data for just this record so next time they change back to "OUT" from "IN" those 2 additional fields are already blank.
Adding Fields In A Make Table Query
Oct 4, 2007If I have a make table query where I want to add in some blank fields, say: Field1: “” , Field2: “”, etc…. is there a way I can make these fields a yes/no type instead of the default text?
I know I can manually go into the table in design view after I run the query, but I was hoping I could do it beforehand. :)
Thanks!
Queries :: Make Table Query On Like Fields
Sep 18, 2013I am developing a Make Table Query from 2 tables, one of which has an "Employee Name" field (lastname,firstname) and the other table has separate fields for LastName and FirstName. I've been able to accomplish almost what I need by:
WHERE ((([Table 1].[EMPLOYEE NAME]) Like [Table 2].[LAST NAME] & "*"));
Which works fine except when there are 2 employees having the same last name, then it generates duplicates. I suspect there must be a way to do this by incorporating the first name field in the sql statement but that's beyond my ability. I realize that names are not good things to base a query on, but the 2 existing tables have been preset and populated by others and I don't really have the capability to change them.

Reports :: Make Fields Invisible In Detail Or Field Header?
Aug 20, 2013Is there a simple way, or special event, that can be used to turn off the visibility of fields when they are in the detail or in a created header for a field?
I tried using the report's Load event, but this kept giving me errors. Are any of the events in the detail able to allow this?
Forms :: How To Make Hidden Fields Permanently Appear When Another Field Is Changed
Jan 14, 2015i have a form that shows payments (checks) that have been issued. sometimes those checks need to be voided and i want 2 fields (Updated By and Updated Date) to pop up when the payment distribution field is changed to a void status.
payment distribution: "I" for issued and "V" for void
i've gotten the On Change Event to work with VBA when the payment distribution changes from "I" to "V" and the 2 new fields pop up but if i exit the form and go back in to look at that record, the fields are gone. Is there a way to make the fields permanently if the payment is "V" on the form?
this is what i have so far for the On Change Event:
If [payment distribution] = "V" Then
me.cmbo_UpdatedBy = True
me.txt_UpdatedDate = True
Else
me.cmbo_UpdatedBy = False
me.txt_UpdatedDate = False
End If
End Sub
Modules & VBA :: Make New Table Using Fields From Another Table?
Jul 29, 2013I have a table with 3 fields. The fields are down1, down2 and down3. . I would like to use this table to create a new table (downtime). What I need too do is loop through each record in the table and place the three fields independently in my new table. For example, I would like to go to the first record in my original table, than place down1 as my first record in my new table, down2 as my second record and down3 as my third. Than I will go to the second record in my original table and place down1 as my fourth record, down2 as my fifth record, down3 and my sixth record and so on. I want to make a toggle button that will do this.
View 7 Replies View RelatedMake Table Queries And Concatenated Memo Fields
Jul 13, 2006I have a Make Table query that includes a new field concatenated from a numeric field and a memo field, with some assorted text elements -
Issue Description:"("&[number]&") "&[Description]
When I run the Make Table, the new field "Issue Description" is created as a text field, NOT as a memo field.
Is there any way to insure that this field is created as a memo field.
Thanks.

General :: Specific Text Display In Field Separated By Commas When Fields Checked
Aug 11, 2012I have a few bit fields that, when checked, specific text need to be displayed in a field separated by commas.
Example:
Child 1 = checked
Child 2 = not checked
Child 3 = checked
Child 4 = not checked
Output:
Child 1, Child 3
I did find this sample expression that I am using in another area and it is working perfect and I understand it works based off of string length.
Mid(IIf(Len(Expr1), ", " & Expr1, "") & IIf(Len(Expr2), ", " & Expr2, "") & IIf(Len(Expr3), ", " & Expr3, ""),Len(", ") + 1)
What is the best way to accomplish this?
Table Field Design Help !!!
Apr 30, 2005Recently I'm helping a friend to convert his MS-Excel spreadsheet into MS-Access. I met a problem and need some help on defining the table fields.
In one of spreadsheets, he gets 3 columns, the 3rd column values is calcuated by a formula based on the previous two entries as the followinf: D3= C3+B3
When I tried to turn this table into MS-Access design, I don't know how to define the 3rd column (field).
Is there any chance I can set any expression/formula for 3rd field in the table defnition to retrieve data from previous columns( I don't want to design this function in the query)?
Many thanks
Queries :: Create Numeric Query Fields In MAKE Table
May 25, 2014Have a Make table query that needs to create (add) several new fields where each field must be numeric design.
Have tried:
Score1: Not Null - does not seem to work (results in a Binary field)
Score1: 0 - which does give me the numeric field designation but every field in table contains a 0.
Would like to show Blank field (makes data input easier at a later time) but still have the Numeric designation.
Make Field Auto Populate Based On Value Of Field In Another Table
Mar 4, 2008I'm creating a database that keeps a track of questions and scores.
The questions in the database need to be dynamic and are changed frequently.
I have a scorecard table which keeps a record of scores and the applicable question at the time the record was saved. I need to do this because in 6 months time we may want to provide feedback. As the question may have changed we need to be able to refer back to what the question was.
I want the question field in my scorecard table to populate with the value in my question table.
I have tried a number of things including setting the question field in the scorecard table to a lookup based on the following query:
SELECT tblQ1.Q1
FROM tblQ1;
This works however only as a list or combo box. I don't want the user to have to select the question. I want it to auto populate, is this possible?

Tables :: Make Calculated Field In One Table That Calculates Values From Another Table Linked By Order ID
May 13, 2015I have what is probably a stupid question but I've been struggling with this one for a while. I have an ordering database which has an Orders table (containing Order ID, Date, Supplier etc) and an Order Line table within which I have a combo box for Product name, supplier, price, VAT rate, Line price etc. At the moment, I have the order line table as a subform within the Order form (run from the Orders table). The problem I'm having is the subtotal and total fields. At the moment these are in the Order Line table as I cannot figure out how to get these in the Orders table. In summary, can I make a calculated field in one table that calculates values from another table (linked by Order ID)?
