View RepliesMy printer does not have a "print mirror image" setting. Is there a way to create a report that would show on the screen as a mirror image?
The application here is that the informartion would be printed on iron-on material and then transferred to a t-shirt as a souvenir. Currently, I do a screen capture, crop and flip the image in Adobe and then print it, but I would like to set it up so that anyone could use the database without my intervention nor using a second application. Reducing steps users need to take is a must.
Thanks.

I have a drop down box where I select a Retailer. When this choice is made I want the last invoice entry to appear in a text box. I have attempted this by creating a query which contains the top 1 invoice in descending order. My dropdown box Event updates a hidden List box using List677. Requery and List677 has a SELECT statement in Row Source
So far so good this bit works
I want to use this value as a default in a Textbox. I thought I could use the same trick to populate the Textbox as I did the Listbox so i tried Text232. Requery after the List677. Requery in the Event above. But no it does not update. The only time the textbox updates is if the Listbox is in Focus and as I said this List box is Hidden. How can I get the textbox to change in real time... I would use the Listbox but i need to be able to change the value of the contents to run reports, I just want a default value.
textBox Default Value: =[List677]
textBox Control Source: =[List677]
List677 Row Source: SELECT LastInvoice.Invoice FROM LastInvoice;
I have built a contacts manager based on an Outlook export (I know I can link the two programs, but I wanted to customize the contacts a bit further). I built the database in a way that phone numbers, addresses, etc. allow for multiple entries for each person under the same column using a foreign key. The only difference is a field called "Type" which designates the entry for Home, Work, etc. The issue I ran into is when I queried the data I get multiple entries for the same record. As you are all likely aware, Access repeats the data in a query for each different case. For example if Bob Jones has a personal and work phone number, Access will show the results in a query like this:
1. Bob Jones 555-555-5555 Personal
1. Bob Jones 555-222-2222 Work
2. Jerry Smith 555-111-1111 Personal
If I kept the data in Access it wouldn't necessarily be an issue. However, I want to be able to export the data in an excel file. How do I get Excel to return the data so it looks like this:
1. Bob Jones 555-555-5555 Personal 555-222-2222 Work
2. Jerry Smith 555-111-1111 Personal
I have a one-to-many-relationship set up. Now I need to jam each related many into one field in a new table to make it like a list. Is there an easy way to do this?

Im working on an Access Database at work. It records the training undertaken by NHS clinical, managerial and admin staff in Brighton. It is used also to generate invoices etc.
I have a better knowledge of access than anyone else here (outside of IT department obviously) so I have been asked to get rid of some glitches and add some functions.
A big hurdle I have found is this:
I can very easily for example, add a command button to open a form, run a query etc, using the wizard.
However I am trying to ascertain what some particular command buttons actually DO. Am I right in thinking there is no way of "reverse engineering" using the Wizard or similar? Because the only thing I can find is Properties > Event > Onclick [eventprocedure] and if you click on build you just get visual basic which I sadly dont understand.
Im not sure if ive made any sense at all. In essence, im saying that making stuff seems easy, but working backwards and dissecting it seems to only result in VB code.
Is there a way around this?

Is there a way to reformat so that the line that is the next line to be entered is at the top instead of the bottom >> I hope that is clear
Also when i use the scroll bar at the bottom at the very end to the right it show grey in the background is there a way to limit it so only what is used is showing
Thx STeve
I split a database and created a backend but now I dont need it and I accidentally deleted the backend while I was updating the file folder and it was on the network so it's gone for good.
Is there a way to reverse splitting a database so it no longer requires the back end?
Hi.
I've downloaded Stephen Leban's nifty calendar and have it working beautifully to enter in dates and ranges of dates to a fishing schedule table (this is a fishing regulations database). (thanks to RuralGuy for posting the link to this, and other calendars, on another thread)
I have a form for entering some parameters to narrow the results of a select query that shows the start and end dates for individual blocks of consecutive time for each scheduled fishery. (Some fisheries might be scheduled to occur every thursday and friday for a couple of months, or other hard-to-predict ranges of time.)
What I would like to do next is to click a button on the form to make the calendar appear with all the dates where fishing is scheduled to occur (from the query results) be highlighted, or circled (or something equivalent).
My vba 'skills' are not up to tinkering with his class module without some serious assistance. Has anyone tried something similar to this with his calendar? Is it even possible?
I have seen other calendars that do something similar (though I'm still in over my head trying to figure out the modules) but I'd really like to keep with Stephen Leban's calendar since it allows much more felxibility in displaying over various time intervals.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance. Thanks.
I have two tables A and B. There is a 1 to many relationship between A and B. Table A's data is controlled by FormA, Table B's data is controlled by FormB which is a subform on FormA. I already have a combo box for navigation on FormA, however I would also like to be able to have a combo box on FormB (FormA's subform) for navigation, so that when I choose an record from the subforms (FormB) combo box, FormA then jumps to the 1 record from FormA that contains the related record choosen in the SubFormB's combo box (along with the subforms choosen record on the subform) .
Kindalike the combo box on FormA, except it's a 'reverse lookup' if that makes sense. Is this at all possible, does this even make sense? :confused:

I have a table with data that is imported from another application. The employee name is showing up as LName, FName. What function can I use to make these FName LName with no comma? I know I may have to do a two step to separate the two then concatanate but not sure how to do it.
UTA: I figured out LName: Trim(Left([ApprovedByFullName],InStr([ApprovedByFullName],",")-1)) to pull the last name minus the comma. How do I pull the first name?
Hi everyone,
I have learnt so much here and I could do with some advise from all of you.
Recently I have developed a software using MS Access and I am in the process of getting Copyrights, Trademark rights for my software.
The software is to be distributed via the internet for personal use. However, I have been having serious concerns about people trying to reverse engineer the code and selling it under another name.
The last thing I would want is someone else making money off pawning this. Not only does it bring bad credibility but can really dent the business end for me.
Can anyone please suggest any way that I can block anybody from reverse engineering the code.
Also how can I make my program user specific and tamper proof??
Thanks and appreciate your help.
I'm using I have a secondary control being populated by an entry from another control. I was able to find the code I needed to do this using a combo box here in this forum.
me.txtDependent=me.cboPrimary.column(#)
(specifics changed to protect my company's paranoid view of privacy)
the code itself was showing up in the secondary control instead of any value. I found though that moving the code from the On Change event for the primary control to the On Current event for the form itself everything is working beautifully.
However, I have a different task now that I need to be able to accomplish with the same two tables but in the opposite direction. I suspect that I'm going to need to create a second set of controls and maybe even a second relationship or table to do this. To use a set of specifics that I think will get this point across, if I had a master table which includes a field for "City" and a secondary table, CityState, which contains both "City" and "State", and two controls, a combo box cboCityState to look up the specific City and a text box, txtState to display the State, putting the following code in the City combo box's On Change event populates a text box with the State when the specific City is selected, or putting it in the form's On Current event will be sure that State shows up in all the copies of a form when the form is used in a search and the City is not changed :
me.txtState=me.cboCityState.column(2)
What I need to do now is to set up a control which allows me to type in the State and have the results show all records that include that State.
I'm using this in a Filter by Form environment. I know the objections to this method and the benefits to creating a dedicated search form, but this method appears to be working well in all other ways for us for now. I have several situations within this form where I have one control showing up at the initial load of the form and at the beginning of the filtering process, allowing selection of multiple values from a long list of values in a list box, for instance, (using the On Filter event) and other controls showing up as a result of the filtering process, to display the selected criteria only, for instance (using the On Apply Filter event), so I'm aware of how to make this work if that's required. I'm thinking I may need to create a second control, something like txtStateInput, to accept the State search criteria and another, something like txtCityResults, to show the cities that are part of the resultant records.
One of my clients has asked me to look at building a way to check if the email addresses they are capturing in my CRM are valid. He want's to go beyond checking for no "@" etc.
From what I've seen, it looks like a reverse DNS check (might be totally wrong) is the way to go. IE: check if the email is valid. I've see a few tools online that can do it one by one (which I could parse to if I had to) - but ideally I'd like to be able to run this from a VBA script.
Hi all.
I've created a database which contains information about stores. I want to have the forms automaticly sorted by the department number.
I've tried to sort the table by department, but when I try to add a department, the sorting doesn't seem to affect the form at all.
Lets say I have department 1,2,3,6,7,8 in the form, and I add department 4, it will be the last post in the form. I want it to be the fourth, and so on..
I'd apreciate some help with this :) Thanks
Here's the database (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=12934&stc=1&d=1142018915&PHPSESSID=f730b7f11f6983965698faeacbe5a1ee)
Hi Everyone,
Could anyone tell me how I sort a field so it sorts by the surname, not the first name? It's one field with 2 names seperated by a space, i.e. George Michael.
Many thanks for any help.

I am doing a database containing names, dates of birth, dates of death etc of my ancestors. Does anyone know the best way of displaying it so I can sort them out by age of death? For example, I want to see someone for example who died aged 70 years and 6 months to be a place above someone who died aged 70 years and 4 months.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn Quebec there are a lot of place names beginning with "Saint-" or "Sainte-".
When I do an ascending sort on the table itself, these type of names don't seem to follow the expected pattern.
For the names Sainte-Marthe, Sainte-Thérèse, Saint-Ephrem, Saint-Eulalie I should see this order:
Saint-Ephrem, Saint-Eulalie, Sainte-Marthe, Sainte-Thérèse.
Instead, I get Sainte-Marthe, Saint-Ephrem, Sainte-Thérèse, Saint-Eulalie.
The names are spelled exactly as I have them in the table with hyphens and diacritic marks.
Any ideas why there seems to be a problem sorting "Saint-" from "Sainte-?
Yet another question! When I run the report, it gives me the results in alphabetical order (i.e. April August, etc) instead of monthly order... Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks!

I have a field with addresses (numbers and letters) Whenever I try to sort it sorts by the number. How do I get it to only sort by the letters but still include the numbers in the result?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to solve this Access problem for a couple of weeks. I have 2 Access 2002 files where I import info from a Paradox DB. I have been doing this for 12 years. I just bought a new laptop and transferred the programs over (I didn't reinstall because I don't have a floppy drive). Paradox files have a default of an International sort order.
One of my 2 Access files is now requiring an Ascii sort order. The Paradox forum says that something in the Access file is asking for the Ascii sort sequence. I have to keep bouncing back and forth in the Regedit changing the sort order from International to Ascii and back again to use the 2 files.
Do you know how I can make the 1 Access file ask for the International sort order?
I have a table with an alphanumeric field I want to sort on. If I sort the usual ascending way, data that is numeric is sorted before data that is alpha.
Is there a way to have the alpha data sorted ascending come out ahead of the numeric data srted ascending?

Currently,
1
2
3
A
B
c
Desired:
A
B
C

i have a simple datsbase with 2 fields - drawing number and description.
the drawing numbers are in the formatt STD123 e.t.c.
When I try to sort numerically the order ends up as
STD1
STD10
STD11
STD100
STD101..........
How do I get it to list in true numeric order in report and table view i.e.
STD1
STD2
STD3.......... Please bear in mind that my knowledge of Access is VERY limited. I've tried a search and don't understand about queries and such like. Even so I'd have thought that even the most basic database programmes would be able to handle something as simple as an alpha/numeric sort list....seems not!!!!!

How can I sort string addresses so as to get the correct number order? I know that strings sort on each character, which causes the problem. I have tried some things (with VAL and Len), but was not completely successful. I do not want to enter an address number as 0630, when I want 630.
Why does this not work:IIf(Len(Str(Val([address]))=3),"0" & [address],[address])? Address has 3 and 4 numbers only.
I have a job database where I sort jobs by upcoming, inactive, closed and active. Each has a corresponding number 1-4 respectively. The main table I update the jobs in is the JOB TABLE. I print a weekly report for our weekly meeting but I only want the active jobs in the report. My question is: how do I perform a sort function in the query, so I will have only the active jobs in the database table show in the query? Thanks in advance! If more info is needed I wil post additonal.
