Telephone Number Recognition

Nov 7, 2007

Good day all.

Here is a bit on an interesting one. I am currently designing a database and I would like to connect it to an apparantly existing bit of kit available in the uk that connects a pc serial port and the users telephone line. When someone calls, it will send the telephone number of the caller (if available) through to the pc. The database can then use this telephone number to retrieve the callers details, if they are held. Does anyone happen to know what these devices are called? I have looked on google for Caller Line Identifier Hardware etc but no joy. Thanks.

Telephone Number - Formatting Issue

Mar 10, 2005

I am trying to get a "formatted phone" number to appear on a "make table" query. I have revised the input mask properties to format the field to parantheses around the area code and a dash after the first three digits. The query works fine as long as I run a "Select Query" but when I change the query to a "Make Table" query, the new table does not come across with the telephone number in the correct ( )xxx-xxxx format! Using the Input Mask wizard, I've tried both options of storing the data and still get the same results. I do NOT want to have to go into this new table each time and reformat the telephone number as I'm sending the table directly to a switchboard in a different database. Any ideas on how to keep the formatted phone number intact?

Queries :: Telephone Number Search Area Code (STD)

Oct 27, 2013

What I am trying to do is i have a list of area codes connected to other data

What I want to do is do a search on a telephone number and this will check against the area codes and diaplay the required info

Example

Area info1 info2
01234 ab cd
012345 ar mc
01235 fg tr

So if I put a number like 01234567890 in the search box the result it will show is 012345 ar mc as this si the closet match to the telephone number.

I did it in excel with
=INDEX(whatwouldbedisplayed,MATCH(searchinfo,rowof data,1))

Im not to sure if this can be done as a query so would it have to be a macro?

Phone Number Input Help

Jan 20, 2006

Greetings... I am setting up a text box to accept a phone number with an input mask of 000-000-0000;0;_ but it isnt doing quite what I want it to do, I would like it to start at the begining when clicked to prevent the error of a user typing in the number a space too far to the right. (right now it places the cursor where ever the user clicks, which becomes a major pain when you want to just be able to click the field anywhere and type from left to right for sake of speed)

thanks for any solutions you might have to offer

Add Padding To Phone Number

Nov 27, 2006

I have a list of about 900 phone numbers, which have been formatted in excel to have a 0 at the beginning of the phone number. However when i export the data to access, so it can be viewed on a webpage this formatting is lost.

How best can i go about adding a zero at the beggining of all of the phone numbers in my list? Can it be done using sql or is there another function in access that can do this.

Thanks

Phone Number Input Mask

Jan 10, 2007

Ok I have an excel spreadsheet with over 6000 phone numbers that I need to import into a table. I have set up my field with an input mask to display a phone number as (xxx) xxx-xxxx. I have also set up my excel spreadsheet to have the numbers set up like 1234567890 to make it easy to throw in and let the input mask take over. My question is: I have some numbers that have an extension and are set up as 1234567890 x 102. I can take out the "x" and have all of the numbers run together, but what is the input mask syntax to have it display as say "(xxx) xxx-xxxx ext.xxx"?

Thanks:o

Queries :: Search Like And Phone Number Format

Apr 12, 2013

I have the following VBA code to search for a string

Code:
'Search by Phone
Private Sub CmdSearchPhones_Click()
Me.Refresh
strSQL = "SELECT Tbl_Contacts.ContactID, Tbl_Contacts.FName, Tbl_Contacts.LName, Tbl_Contacts.Address, Tbl_Contacts.City, Tbl_Contacts.State, Tbl_Contacts.Zip, Tbl_Contacts.HomePhone, Tbl_Contacts.WorkPhone,

[Code] .....

My issue is that this works 50/50, because phone numbers on the database are NOW being stored in this format (000) 000-0000 and previous DB phone numbers got stored as 0000000000. The above code finds previous DB phone numbers (even if we dont enter all 10 digits) without a problem but has issues with new phone numbers stored in the new format UNLESS I specify the search with (000) 000-0000 (but we want to be able to search without adding that and without typing all 10 digits - in case we forget part of the number we are looking for)

How can I tell my query to find both formats, with the (000) 000-0000 AND 0000000000 ....

Modify Auto-Number Properties In Web Database

Mar 18, 2015

I have a web database in access and I am trying to set up a new table. They key piece of this table needs to be a randomly generated ID number that is between 4-6 digits long. I know that when I set up a new table the ID field is set as "AutoNumber" but I can't seem to modify the properties of this field like I can in Non-web databases.

Is there a way to have a randomly generated ID number that is a specific length in a web database? If so, how can I do this (preferably without VBA since that is not Web compatible)?

Phone Number Format Problem With Mail Merge

Jul 26, 2006

Twilight Zone Phormat Problem

I have a mail merge from Access into Word that works great except for a baffling problem with phone number formatting. Instead of (987) 654-3210, on certain records the merge produces 9876543210. I cannot identify a pattern to explain it, but it is not random. Certain records consistently leave the format behind on the phone number, some on the fax number, and some on both. This problem is affecting about 1/3 of the contact records. I have the Input Mask on Phone and Fax in the table set to !(999") "000-0000;0;_. Is anyone familiar with this problem?

General :: Phone Number Changing By Itself In Table Field

Aug 14, 2013

In Access 2002, I have a Phone Number field (Text) that is meant to store (obviously enough) phone numbers. However, when I enter 2009 as the last four digits (ex. (555)-555-2009) the number is changed to (555)-555-2010. This also occurs if I enter the number directly into the table (which doesn't have an input mask). I have tested it in a new form (even without input mask), and a new table, which both result in the exact same thing.

Modules & VBA :: Auto-Number Sequencing By Compacting The Database

May 30, 2014

Lets say you have a table with an AutoNumber field.You populate it with 100 records.You delete the last 10 records (91-100)Now, I certainly know you can refresh the AutoNumber sequencing by compacting the database so the next record entered is 91.

My question is about NOT refreshing the AutoNumber sequencing.Lets say you DO NOT COMPACT and DO NOT refresh the AutoNumber Sequence.So, in that scenario, after deleting records 91-100 from the table, is there any programmatic way to determine that the next actual AutoNumber for that table will be 101?

Appending Records With A Desired Auto Number In A Table With Auto Number

Oct 26, 2005

Here is my issue. In a table with an Auto Number index some records have been deleted. I have been able to recreate them along with their original auto number. The problem is that I do not know how to append these records forcing the original auto number. I have tried changing the auto number field to a number field in the table, this works except I cannot change it back to auto number.

I am sure I’m not the first with this question or issue. I did search through a couple hundred entries about auto number before I posted this question.

Auto Data Transfer.

Oct 1, 2007

Hi guys, hows it going?, im hoping that someone can provide me with a solution to my problem i have spent many many hours trying to solve it, just cant seem to do it.Alright guys here it is, I run an entertainment company called Deejays Entertainment, we run over 18 and under 18 events, at these events we collect peoples details to put them on our database so we can keep them informed with new events, happenings etc etc. I currently have 1 database and inside the database is 2 tables, 1 titled "under 18s" the other "over 18s", what i want to do is have it so once a person turns 18 in my "under 18s" table it automatically transfers there data to the "over 18s" table and removes the data from the under 18s one. If someone could help me out i would be greatly appreciative and if you can explain the steps so i 5 year old could understand them that would be great as my knowledge about access is very little.Thanks in Advance.**Sorry forgot to add that i have there date of births in the database**RegardsDanny.

How To Import Phone Numbers In Access Database

Oct 31, 2012

I imported an Office 2010 excel file into Access 2010. All the headers match.

All the data transfered, but the phone numbers.

In Design View, the phone numbers are listed as numbers, not text.

Then I tried to copy the two columns from Excel and past into the two columns in the database. No go. It did create a new table called Paste Errors.

How do I move that into the Table that I first created?

I need to know how to get the phone numbers in their because I need to import several other excel files into this table.

Looking For Free/shareware PDA And Cell Phone Tracking Database

Nov 13, 2005

Hi,

I have a list of 500 PDA users, spread over 7 offices.
I want to keep an eye on what happens with the devices and their SIM-cards. As they are often swapped between offices and SIM-cards get lost.
I am pretty sure that I don't have to re-invent the wheel.
Do you have any idea of a free/shareware tracking tool for PDA's and cell phones ?

Thanks in advance !

Queries :: Phone Book Database - Query For Fields Containing A Value

Sep 5, 2013

I'm currently trying to make a simple phone book database that use queries to search through the records. I need to set the search parameters to pick up all records containing a value rather that just search for that specific value.

For instance if I type in "mic" and search I want all records containing mic to appear in results like mick and Michael.

Is there any way this can be done?

So far I have only tried the [please enter first name] method and this has been in successful.

Forms :: Auto Generate File Number Based On Number Of Records In Year

Jan 21, 2014

I have a form [IUDATA]

I have a add record button.

I have a date field [DATEIN]

I have a text field [DRPNO]

If the [DPRNO] field is empty, I would like the user to have the [DPRNO] field be automatically populated after the user enters a date.

I'd like the format of [DPRNO] to be "dpr YY-XXX"

Where:
YY is the year of the [DATEIN] field and
XXX is number of records in that year.

So for example, if it was the 4th record with a 2013 date the [DPRNO] would be dpr 13-004.
