I have a table with a field with names set to text data type and i want to change it to number data type but when i do it in design view the data get lost. I want to know if there is a way to convert the data in the field as number type and keep the data in the field.
I was wondering if there is a way of only allowing text in a text field - we need to do this for validation purposes when inporting a text file into a database. I have tried input mask but this only checks when entering new data - I have tried to use validation rule like"???????" however this means that there has to be 7 letters in each field and this is not the case. - the field is for town and a couple of the records in this field have numbers at the end which are incorrect that we want the database to reject :eek:
The text files hold data for a specific days work. Each day has its own text file. I would like to be able to import the text files within a specific date range, specified by the user. Below is the total code i have for my form button:
rivate Sub Command0_Click() Dim startdate As String Dim enddate As String Dim currentdatex Dim count As Integer count = 0
I m trying to make form which filters my records and generates a report..here's where I am
Code: Like "*" Or Between [Forms]![Form1]![Text6] And [Forms]![Form1]![Text8] & "*"
but this doesn't work I would like to show all records if textbox 6 is null and textbox8 is null this part of code works perfect but below but I'm struggling to get the between in with the code
Is there a data type that I can use that will handle both text and numbers such as percentages? Or is there a way I can set the field type to text then convert the text to a percentage? I plan on using this field in a form so when the user inputs the info I will want to display it in the correct format. Any ideas or suggestions?
I was doing a project for school where I had to make a text field that would only accept the options Client Type(RET - Retail, SER - Service, DIN - Dining)
I thought I did it right by having a line with the field name as "Client Type" and the input as "text" with a field size of "3". and the description I put was "Client Type(RET - Retail, SER - Service, DIN - Dining)". But it doesnt work. I saved and everything. It will let me enter anything I want as long as it doesnt exceed 3 chars. I want it to ONLY accept RET, SER, or DIN and I want it to format it so its in CAPS.
1)Projects table: - Project ID - Number field (Primary Key) - Project Name - Location - (other fields)
2)Working details: (this table has a form based on it and it's used to enter data by users) - Project ID (this field has a lookup for the same field in the first table) - Project Name (this field has a lookup for the same field in the first table) - (other fields)
My problem is : in the second table, Project Name field has "Number" data type because the relationship between the table is on the Project ID which is number field. I want the Project Name to be "text" data type in the second table.
I would like to create a excel file to let the user to input the following column.
Date No. of success No. of failure ==== ============ ============== " " " " " " " " "
I would like to have a function that can allow the user to select the date range and its total no. of success and no. of failure
For example , the user select from 31-03-2001 to 31-12-2012 , then output the report which show the total no. of success and no. of failure in this date range , is there existing tamplate that I can use ? if no , what is the simplier way to do it ?
if the data is very large , I want to create a access db to store it , how to do it ?

I have multiple buildings that I own. Each building earns a monetary amount each day. Some days they earn $0, some days they earn $1,000. This is all kept track in a data base in which someone manually enters the information each day.The three fields are:
Building Date Profit
I have narrowed a query down to one building, and I am interested in two things. How do I write a query that shows a 30 day peak (the most profitable 30 days). In other words. I want to see the following Building: GNB Tower Date: 02/14/13 - 03/15/13 Profit: $25,162
The next thing I am interested in is a 7 day peak from within these 30 days. This shouldn't be too difficult if I can figure out how to query these 30 days, I can query 7 days out of those 30 days. So this bigger mind stumper is the first one.
out of a date range of months and months (Let's say 10/12/13 - 6-14-13).Once I figure this part out, I am sure I can figure out how to compile all buildings into one large report with their 7 day peak and 30 day peak.
hello once again, I need to import a text file into an existing table in Access. The text file has been imported once and is working well and everything. However, since I had to change some of the datatypes to be able to query the table correctly, I now cannot import the text file anymore unless I change the datatype of the table itself. Since someone other than I will be doing the imports from here on out, changing the datatypes everytime is out of the question. I was looking at the TransferText event, but I didn't seem to see anything about converting data types. I can think of two options, and neither are probably possible: 1. import using the wizard. Since I didn't see anything related to the types of data, I don't think this will work... 2.import using TransferText. This doesn't seem to give me any opportunity to change the datatypes either. Is there anyway to programmatically change datatypes, or is there possibly an easier way that I'm overlooking?? thanks in advance, *j
I just started my project database on my subject ITM4. My Database is entitled PCExpress Inventory System. I would like to know how to input (Text) in a Field where the Data Type is (Number) just like the North Wind.
I have two tables(see below). I want to set up a query, link these 2 tables together. I set a one-to-one relationship between Client ID in two table. But got error message :"Type mismatch in expression".
I tried to change Client ID data type from "Text" to "Number", then Access deleted some data under Client ID in Order table.How can I make this work, but not having to re-type in all data?
Client Table:
Client ID(Autonumber) Client Name (Text) Client Address (Text)
Order Table:
Order ID(Autonumber) Client ID(Short Text) Unit Order(Number) Unit Price
Hello all - One of my 3 users' computers keeps coming up with an error when I try to enter the following command in the "Validation Rule" field of the table design view:
>=#1/1/1998# And <=Date()
Some investigative work showed that it's erroring on this clause: "<=Date()". Any idea why it would error on her pc and not the other 2 pc's? Her pc is old, but we're all using Access 2002. The error says: "The function you entered can't be used in this expression." Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks much.
I'm trying to create a query based on another query. However, my WHERE statement is causing a data type mismatch for a date. My code is:
Code: SELECT id, status, updated, [previous renewal] FROM qrynext renewal WHERE status = "active" and [previous renewal] = date()
If I remove the " and [previous renewal] = date()" it works just fine. But even setting up [previous renewal] to equal #7/17/14# or "07/17/14" or anything else I've tried won't work. The field that it's based on is definitely a date field, but I don't know why it would cause a data type mismatch.
I have a table with about 300,000 records. About ten fairly small fields per record. I am trying to change the length of a text field from 25 to 40 characters, and I get the error message, 'MS Access can't change the data type. There isn't enough disk space or memory'.
I have never seen this message before. I have about 64 Gig of free disk space. What can I do?
I have encountered an issue when I was inserting a string (with newlines about 176 characters) into access table. This field in access has the data type TEXT and it was truncated after the insertion. It is strange because I have three other fields with the same format and no truncation at all. May I know what could be the reason and how/what is the recommend data type for storing long text?
The parameters @subject and @type are simply strings selected from dropdown values.
The @date parameter is set by using a dropdown to select a timeframe to search in, specifically "Within 1 month", "Within 3 months", "Within 6 months". These options have the values "1", "3" and "6".
When the form is submitted the value of the selected option is passed into the following routine:
Dim valSelectedDate AsInteger Dim dateParameter AsDate valSelectedDate = ddlDate.SelectedValue dateParameter = DateAdd("m", valSelectedDate, (Date.Now)) cmdSelectEvents.Parameters("@date").Value = dateParameter
When I run the debugger the right date value seems to be being passed to the sql query (i.e. if the user selects "within 6 months" and today's date is 5th May 2005, then #05/11/2005# is passed as the parameter) but I get the error data type mismatch. The column eventDates.date is a Date/Time column.
I have a variable (dtDueDate as Date) showing as 6/28/2013. I want to append a time value to it (dtMaxTime as Date) which is 5:00 PM so dtDueDate reads 6/28/2013 05:00:00 PM. I have been going in circles trying to figure this out. My goal is to append this date to a table field which has a datetime (General Date).
I'm using MS access and Excel 2000. I have an Excel spreadsheet that contained 8 columns, the first column has all cell format as Number, the rest of the column is set as custom date format of 'dd/mm/yyyy'. When I create a linked table in MS Access, the data types does not matched my excel spreadsheet columns, the 'Number' data type is a double and I want a Long Integer in Access, and the custom date format become text datatype but I wanted a DateTime datatype. Is there any work around this? Seems like it is a common problem.
I have a query with a field defined in the query as follows:
Next Bill Date: IIf(IsNull([dtmLastBillDate]), DateSerial(Year([dtmDateRecd]),Month([dtmDateRecd])+1,15), DateSerial(Year([dtmLastBillDate]),Month([dtmLastBillDate])+[lngNumMonths],15))
I can't seem to set any criteria for this field without getting an error: 'Data Type Mismatch in Criteria Expression'
Examples of criteria that I've tried: =#1/1/2005# >#1/1/2005# =Date() Year([Next Bill Date]) = Year(Now())
All of the above generate that same error. {I've seen many pages/posts regarding 'data type mismatch' but none seem to relate directly to this situation.}
I am trying to filter a recordset with a variable q. The field in the table associated with the record set is of data type Date/time. I assigned data types String and Date to q but both cases generates the error message " Data type mismatched in expression".
