Need To Have A Number Field Save 999999.99 But It Always Rounds
Sep 18, 2006
Hi.
I have urgent report to send and thefield must be numeric and read 999999.99 but as integer or even double, it won't do it. Double with 2 decimal places set, gives 999999.00
On one of my Access forms, a specific textbox rounds a value down if the user enters the decimal. The table field bound to it, is a long integer as to not accept decimal values.
For example = user entered .5 rounds to 0 user entered 10.5 round to 10
I would like this to behave in the opposite manner and always round up, but how??? Since users are estimating their hours for specific tasks, I would prefer any decimal value to round to the next integer. I have tried many adjustments to get this working to no avail. I did come across something about key press for decimal and to disallow user to even enter a decimal in this textbox. I would be fine with that solution as well, but could not implement as seen.
I'm setting up a table that has several percentage fields, for which I want to display 3 decimal places in datasheet view (and later in forms and reports). I've tried to set up the fields in a variety of ways, but either I don't get a percent format, or I get 3 decimals with 2 zeros at the end. For example, 73.913% shows up as 73.900%. This, of course, causes problems in calculations, so that for a total percent field I'm getting things like 99.900% instead of 100.000%. I've tried various combinations of formatting properties for these fields (Field Size, Format, Decimal Places, and Scale) but I have yet to hit on the right one to simply display the correct value in the format of a percent.
I have an acces form to input client orders. Each order has its own order number a different client. On the same form I have a button to generate a report based on the inpuuted data on the same form which works perfectly fine.
Now I need to use same report to save each order in a specific folder on my computer in pdf format. However I would like to have the file generated as follows ordernumber "-" clientname.pdf. This way each order is saved in the same folder without overwriting the previous one.
Date of Birth (DOB) field etc. in one program are text - how do I make another file with the same data into number fields for Date of Birth field etc? When I copy data to file that has number fields the 09252004 is changed to 9252004. Can I get reports with the correct Date of Birth in them by moving data from text file to number file?
There is data entered monthly in file and formula has been set up for January, February etc as ---quarter: Int(([month]-1)/3)+1. I would like formula for the fiscal year for April to be counted as month 1, May - month 2, June as month 3, July as month 4, August as month 5, Sept as month 6, October as month 7, Nov as month 8, Dec as month 9, Jan as month 10, Feb as month 11 and March as month 12.
I have a form where we fill in information for supply of equipment to employees.
Each item must be signed for on a printed report.
I am encountering problems trying to create enough rows in my report detail for each signature of the items supplied.
For example, on the form I will select the "equipment" - 4 hats supplied and 3 boots. On the report I want the equipment set as the group and the detail to be a number or rows which equals the number of selected items. therefore under the Hats group heading I want 4 blank rows which are made up of 3 text boxes - Print Name, Signature & Date and another group heading for boots but with 3 lines.
I have a access table with 32 columns and 42,000 rows of numbers. I need to find the MIN number in the row and if the MIN number has duplicates then I need them all placed into another column by column name. Example: Starting file DEST,ORIGIN1,ORIGIN2,ORIGIN3,ORIGIN4, ETC 05512,3,2,4,2
I'm trying to get an invoice number field to auto generate the next number, keeping the format as "00000"...this is what I have, which gets the next number but drops the leading 0

invoice numbers are 04024, 04025 etc...how I keep the formatiing?
Hello everyone, I have been trying to calculate the number of working days a person has off sick between two dates.I was aware of how to calculate the difference between two dates using datediff, this was not quite hat i needed. after much experimentation and a little searching I came across this site that has I would recommend to other beginners to use as a query and a module.
http://www.mvps.org/access/datetime/date0006.htm
I have a calculated field that uses this function to work out the number of days, My question is, Is it worth me saving this calculated field physically in my table instead of in the query?
The reason for this is that im only with company for limited time and others will be building reports in the future and would prob prefer to build reports on tables rather than queries. If so, how can I go about setting the field value to that of the query result?
i have probleb with the comboboxes if i change cobobox value, then comes a error :to make changes to this field, first save the record the combobox code is
Private Sub CatecoryID_AfterUpdate() On Error GoTo Err_CatecoryID_AfterUpdate Dim strFilter As String strFilter = "Products.CatecoryID = " & Me!CatecoryID Me!ProductID = DLookup("ProductID", "Products", strFilter) Exit_CatecoryID_AfterUpdate: Exit Sub Err_CatecoryID_AfterUpdate: MsgBox Err.Description Resume Exit_CatecoryID_AfterUpdate
So I have this relatively simple problem: I need to create a button that once clicked will open the Save As dialog box and allow the user to save a copy of the current database where he wishes. The filename should contain todays date in DDMM format along with some pre-set text e.g. DDMM PresetText.
I added a new field to a table, and saved the table. When the table is reopened, the new field is not there! I thought perhaps I forgot to save the field, so I tried adding the field again. When saving, the error said, "cannot save; duplicate field name".
If I go to toolsoptions and click the "show system objects" the field will show up??
Do you think the best course of action is to import all the objects into a new db and try again?
I have a form which calculates alot of numbers. Im trying to figure out how to save the calculation to a table field. Is this possible? Can someone help me with a solution please
I have a few selected reports on an Access 2007 database that users can run. Is there a way for users to view the report, save as a PDF and automatically save a copy to a shared drive by modules/vba coding as an On Click event procedure?
Hi, I’m trying to develop a form for coding data from historiocal documents into a dataset. The form is used to avoid errors when converting ‚questions’ in the codebook to the codes for later statistical analysis. Some questions allow for multiple anwers – but need to be stored to one field in the data-table, separated by semicolon. Ideally I would have a list-box with the questions and write the codes into one field after selection. Another difficulty is, that later the data need to be read from the table and the selections should be visible in the form (if the table contains „1;6“ items 1 and 6 in the listbox should be highlighted).
I’d be grateful for tips or links to relevant sources. Thanks!

I have a Contacts form which has a Calls sub-form which itself has a Subjects sub-form. From the Contacts form the user can click a button which writes a pro-forma letter from a selection. The application then updates the Call & allows the user to select the Subject(s) from the Subjects available (drop-down menu). If the user wants to write a second letter immediately, I get the above message. If they do anything else first, they are OK. I have tried refreshing the Contacts form & each of the others at various points in the process, explictly saving the record (caused another error) etc. without success. Can you help?
I have a table with an attachment field called email, where a .msg file is stored for each record. Looking for code to save this contents of this field in a folder in my drive.
I have created a query with the parameter for the Domain field. however on the form the user enters this information via a drop down menu. i was just wondering could the parameter box be set to a drop down box as well to save the user entering in the full Domain field name?
I am trying to do some simple table operations. I have a field (Date) containing dates, and an empty field called Day.
I want to extract the day number from the Date field, and write it to the Day field.
I didn't get very far until I ran into trouble when setting my recordset. I get the error "Too few parameters, expected 1". Clicking "Debug", will highlight the code line "Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(sqlString, dbOpenDynaset)".
So far, my code looks as follows:
Code: Private Sub Command16_Click() Dim db As DAO.Database Dim rs As DAO.Recordset Dim sqlString As String Dim dataDay As Byte 'Open connection to current Access database Set db = CurrentDb()
[Code]...
I am not very familiar with the various types of recordset settings. I just want to be able to read data from the Date field, and write data to the Day field.
