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 am a self taught beginner in Access applications, so excuse my lack of expertise and terminology. From reading through this forum, I realize how far I have to go. I am not a techy by any means.
My question: I have a database that keeps track of the delinquent taxes for our Town. One of the reports is set up from 2 queries, then 2 related tables (beginning balances and payments made). The query calculates the balance of each account based on the beginning balance minus the payments made, and returns a report which shows each account balance, and then another query returns a report showing the total balance of all the accounts due for the date the report is generated.
I am wondering if there is a way to generate the balances due on a previous date. For example today is July 13, and I want to know what the balances were on July 1. Both tables have a date field- beginning balance has a start date, and the payments table has the dates of any payments.
What is the condition or how should I write a VB code to block the command go to last empty record? I have a form which has three buttons : Go to Previous Record, Go to Next Record and Add New Record. If I add a new record, and I press "Go to Next Record" well, it goes to the next empty record this means it does the same job as the "Go to Add New Record" button. How can I stop this happen?
I have a form for all my clients, and currently there's a separate field for each part of the address. This does not make it easy to cut and paste an entire address block. I therefore created an unbound text box with the control source as:
This works ok, but if someone doesn't have anything in the fields [Pref1] or [Pref2] it leaves blank lines. Is there a way to code it so that I can have a complete address block? Thank you.
I need to export a table as a text file but using the outputto or transfer text options do not produce the file format I want. If I export the file as Excel and then save it as text it's OK so I copied the following code to automate the procedure but get an error 'Object variable or With block variable not set.
I have the below code that seemed to work until I tried to add the Loop to it. Now, every time it gets to the piece of the loop with the words Cells.Find, I get an error stating "With Block or Variable not set". I don't understand what the problem is. There is no "With Block" and the variable is set. How can I get this to work?

I Have a table votes where a user is able to vote for a specific campaign, when the user votes his username and the date and time is logged in the table votes.
After the user voted he is logged out, then displaying the login form for the next user.
At the login form I want to check if a user already voted and if so he should not be able to login again. How can you do this ?

For a pen there are below operations 1. moulding 2. cleaning 3. polishing 4.assembly

I have a table which has a primary key of 3 fields. Each individual fields is defined with duplicates OK but I want to block a record being added where the primary key value exists already. How can this be done - the way I have set up the database Access does not automatically stop this as I thought it might. Do I need somw vb also??
Hi, in some application I have made using a switchboard after starting up, I saw that when the user holds the shift button, this switchboard does not show up automatically. How can i fix it that the user cannot interfere holding this button?
The Return of the dreaded mousewheel! I have used the fab Search option on this topic, but I feel I have some requirements that prohibit me using some of the options available. I need to allow its use for navigation of the mainform, but totally block it on the subforms, but with lots of conditions!
The database in question is NOT mine, and it's already built. If it were one of mine, I'd simply block the darn thing entirely or adopt some of the example databases I found (ghudsons was the kind of data verification I can dig, and a few in A97 format were good too).
I have to cater for workmates that are strangly fussy, rather lazy and totally unappreciative of order. Who would have though enforcing uniform entry of dates from 20 different ways (I counted) to one way, was such a contentious issue? OR, a BAD idea? Sigh.
As a result, I cannot be seen to have done ANYTHING to its function. So, I cannot have: *Any form of "save" each record or blocks or anything like that *Any form of validation boxes or message boxes popping up *No dlls (if possible) *In a nutshell, no extra effort - Type 'n' go - it has to be a secret *And, I can't block the mousewheel from scrolling through personnel in the mainform.
I have to eliminate the RAMPANT creation of duplicate subentries (like, you're still on the one record in the main form, but if you're not paying attention and wheel in the subform, you flick over to the new row and type, and POW).
Am I dreaming? Is there some easy solution in form setup that I'm overlooking? (the problems of self-education, you are often unaware of some of the simplest little options). I aplogize if this solution has been presented before on the board, but it is likely I didn't not understand what I saw properly, or I felt it wasn't quite what I wanted. Thanks very much.
My database contains business names and addresses in separate fields (name, address, city, zip code, state, country)
Now I have to build the address block for labels.
If there were just US addresses it would be easy but a business can be located in any country with the problem being that countries require the block to be build in a specific way (order of city, state, zip code).
In some cases a particular section has to be upper case as well.
Of course I can build it manually in a memo field but the with chance of something easily going wrong I like to automate it.
It does mean the same info will be stored twice which is basically a no no.
I'm thinking of making a separate table with records for all possible layouts and use those as a source for a memo field in the business table. However I can't oversee if that would work alright or not.
Or should there be a way to generate the blocks on the fly?
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.
Hi there! 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
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.
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)

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 have a form that has four textboxes, date dropdown box and a date box. I am trying to get the form to do the following: Block user from writing in the textboxes if they have not selected a date in the date box.
Get the datebox to look at the behide screens records to see if there has already been a documented date (duplicate date) and inform the user that this date has already been used. Then auto them to the date dropdown.
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.
