Forms :: Changing Text Box To Allow Fixed Data Input Options - Access 2010

Jun 17, 2014

I have created a member data base form in Access2010.

That has been populated with 366 member records

I have two text box fields that are currently free type fields, Member Type & Member Status.

What is the best way I can change these to show only the relevant options:

i.e. Member Type ( Full, Family, Pensioner, Life. )
Member status ( Current, Lapsed, Deceased)

I have tried to right click the field but the "change to" option is greyed out & not available.

I have also tried to insert a combo box or list box to show these options. The "use control wizard" option has been highlighted but when I drag either a combo box or list box into the form. the wizard does not activate.

Access Text Data Type Options

Nov 14, 2004

Hi All,

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.

Thanks,
-- Steven

Narrowing Data Input Options

Apr 18, 2013

I am trying to create a database that will narrow the potential inputs you can have as you submit the data. For example; in field one I will have a column titled "Types of Food", in which the user will be able to select from "Fruits, Vegetables, and Meats". The next field will be "Raw Ingredients". I want to make it so that if the user inputs "Fruits" into the first fields the second field will only present the options "Apples, Oranges, and Pears", and so on.

Shortcut To Auto Correct Options Access 2010

Oct 7, 2015

I have reinstalled Access 2010 due to a computer malfunction. I had customized my Dictionary with about 2000 abbreviations for medical specific words: gast for Gastroenterology for instance. Saves tons of typing. I have never been able to save my dictionary just in case something like this happens. And, It's happened before. I may have saved(unsure) once, but it was years ago on Access XP-2003, somewhere in that time frame and was never able to find it if I did. So I am reentering all these words again. It would sure be nice to be able to add them by Anything! but going File/Options/ Proofing/ Auto Correct Options and then entering my shortcuts. that's 4 steps each time. It would seem to me that if you can add the Auto-Correct icon in Word to the Word ribbon, Access should be able to do this. There is no icon i can find in Customize Ribbons/ All Commands. My Word Dictionary does not -never has- synced with Access' Dictionary.

Exporting From Access 2007 As Fixed Width Text File

Apr 23, 2008

Hi,

I am trying to export a query from an Access 2007 database into a fixed width text file, to import into a statistical program. The query is a simple select query from one table, selecting 5 columns. I am using a specification to set the width of each of the fields (image attached). The problem is with the first field in the table which is a long integer field. I want to set it as a fixed width of 4 characters, but every time it exports it sets the width as 11 characters. I have tried exporting from the original table, changing the data type but nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Laura

I have a list box and a series of 11 fields a user can search by. My problem is that the List Box has changed the column order.

Now after I hit search the fields populate out of order... 4, 9, 2, 1, etc...

Changing Computed Field In Access 2010 Pivot Table

Jul 28, 2014

So... I have the pivot table with the following columns...

Sum of Numerator, Sum of Denominator, and a computed field for Rate

My Rate calculation is: iif(Denominator = 0, Null, Numerator/Denominator)...

I have at least 15 of these rates (numerator, denominator, rate) on the same report..it works fine, but my business analyst has clarified the Rate requirement that if the denominator is 0 then the Rate should display 0 (instead of Null)..

When I change my Rate computed field to iif(Denominator = 0, 0, Numerator/Denominator) and press the "Change" button all the numerators and denominators on the pivot table are blanked out... I've refreshed the pivot table and everything; but, I can't stop this from happening. why the heck can't Access' pivot table be as robust as Excel's ???

Forms :: Prevent Entering Data A Second Time Onto Access 2010 Table

Mar 4, 2014

I have a simple data entry form where I can key the "row", "COLUMN", SPACE "a" and space "B" onto an access 2010 table. Is there a way that if I key the same four fields, e.g., A5AB that I get a message back before updating telling me that combination already exists?

I do generate a calculated data field, which in this case would be "a5ab" and which is displayed on report screens. Could the value of this calculated field be stored on the Table and be used to prevent the same value from again be entered on the Table?

Forms :: Access 2010 - Importing RECORD Consisting Of Fields Of XLS Data

Mar 12, 2014

I inherited a defective Access 2010 and am now attempting to import a RECORD consisting of fields of xls data.

I am attempting to import from an existing Form Datasheet so that it overwrites (or appends the new data to the datasheet) from another identical Form Datasheet because it contains an additional 1000 contacts in it.

I have resulted to Using an .mdb file from over a year ago because the current .mdb keeps hitting "The Microsoft Access database engine could not find the object (Error 3011)"

My initial opinion is that the more recent .mdb it is corrupt.

Switchboard Front Page - Users Able To Access Forms For Data Input

Dec 8, 2011

I have created a switchboard 'front page' through which I hope for users to access the forms for inputting data.

Within this front page I have an 'enter' button - successfully created - everything.

However, I am unclear as to how you activate this, or any other button. I have linked it to the appropriate form and stated the action I want it to undertake, but nothing is happening.

What further instructions do I need to provide ...and where?!

Forms :: Input Data Into Multiple Tables Using Single Form - MS Access 2013

Jan 15, 2015

I have 5 tables that I would like to input data in. It can only be done with a single form. The fields I want to input in have the same names in all 5 tables, for example:

Table 1:
Name
Age
DOB

Table 2:
Name
Age
DOB

Table 3:
Name
Age
DOB

Table 4:
Name
Age
DOB

Table 5:
Name
Age
DOB

Is it possible to input data into all of these fields in each table using one textbox for each field?

Preferably without having to use code but if it cannot be done without it then that would be fine.

4
19X20
5

C
L-GY

Access 2010 Text Box Running Sum Stops Computations On Second To Last Row

Oct 10, 2011

I'm using an Access 2010 report to recreate a spreadsheet that contains rows consisting of fourteen columns of data. Each column is totaled. The data types are numeric and the property sheet format is either Standard or Percent depdening on the column.

In order to track the totals, I utilize two text boxes for each column. One is visible and contains the data for that particular row. The other is hidden and has its Running Sum property set to "Over All". The final totals row consists of text boxes that reference the final result of the running sum text box.

This works up to a point. I see correct totals results for columns 1-10. Then for some reason the running count appears to stop for the second to last row of column 11. (It's always the second to last row). As a result, the totals for this column (11) and subsequent columns (12-14) do not total.

Importing Fixed With Text Files

Jun 7, 2005

Dear All,

I need some help. I am writing a database for my new and small company. I receive internet orders from my ISP in an email. I want to find a simple way of automatically importing these emails into my "Customer Information" table.

The issue is that I have no control on the format of the email I receive from my ISP. The data is fixed width and stores the information horizontally rather than in columns. For example:

Quantity : 1
Price : GBP 199.00
Delivery : GBP 5.00
Total : GBP 204.00

I have been exploring the GetData option and using the advance settings to align fields. It seems (and I am not an expert user of Access) that the GetData function relies on the import source to be aligned in vertical columns rather than horizontally. This makes mapping the fields almost impossible.

Does anyone have a clever work-around? Either in Access or manipulating the data before it goes into the database?

Many thanks, Matthew (matthew@byatt.com)
