Forms :: Datasheet Form - Change Text To Time

Oct 7, 2014

I am needing to design a form that allows a user to add or overwrite a number of records by copying and pasting the information from an Excel Spreadsheet, however one of the problems is that the information being sent has times stored as text - so, for 04:45, it is simply stored as 0445 on the spreadsheet.

Is there a way to have these autocorrect once pasted into the datasheet?Also, is there a way to make a datasheet form that copies a number of records into itself depending on a user selection? The basics of what I am trying to achieve is:

I have a number of services that operate on a number of services (public transport), each vehicle has a unique identifier (Bonnet), and each place in the schedule has a unique identifier (RunNo); there are different schedules for different day types (Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday to Thursday, Friday and so on), and the times that each RunNo goes out and comes in differs depending on the day type.

At the moment, I have a table which has the following fields:

ID (Autonumber, PK)
DayType
Route
RunNumber
TimeOut
TimeIn

My idea/hope is that a user will be able to open a vehicle allocation datasheet for the day, select the day type (lets say, Saturday) which will then populate the relevant number of rows with the schedule information (looking at a Saturday, that would be 128 rows), and then a blank column to add to the records a vehicle ID that is being used for each RunNo for the day.

Now, on top of all this, I need to also cater for vehicles being substituted during the course of the day - - - if one breaks down, it will have to be de-allocated from the list (so presumably by changing the TimeIn to the current/actual time rather than the scheduled time) and the user will need to be allowed to add a further row to show which vehicle was used next against that RunNo.

Just to further complicate things, there is quite a number of vehicles that will have a time in which is in the following day (ie after midnight) - whilst this isn't a problem in storing the times, I also want this table to be looked up to determine whether a vehicle is currently allocated or not.

The fields for the AllocatedVehicles table are:

ID (Autonumber, PK)
RunNumber
Bonnet Number
DateOfService
TimeOut
TimeIn

It is hope that all of these with the exception of Bonnet Number can be populated by selecting the day type?

Forms :: How To Change Column Widths In Datasheet View

Jan 2, 2014

I am using Access 2013 (but I assume that the solution for Access 2010 will apply).

Here is the situation:

1. I have a simple datasheet form with three columns

2. I need to adjust the column widths so that all the text is visible

3. When I adjust the column widths, save the form, close the form, and re-open the form, the column widths reset

4. I need the column widths to either 1) stay the same as they previously were, or 2) be wide enough to fit all the text in each field

Datasheet Form How To Change Single Row Color

Jan 14, 2007

Hi
I am running Access 97 and I was wondering if it was possible to change the colour(background or text) of a single record based on an attribute

I was hoping that my subform viewing all of the records (datasheet) would look like this based on Task Des column
eg Condition = red, Awaiting = Blue
(Below is ment to look like an access datasheet view)

Property No | Task Des | MCU/ROL
PN1234/DA1 | Condtion | MCU
PN1235/DA2 | Condtion | ROL
PN1994/DA1 | Awaiting | MCU

I have read you can do this quiet easy in access 2007 but was wondering if possible in 97

Thanks heaps for your help




Thanks

Change Text To Date/Time Field In A Query

Feb 7, 2008

I have created a table called - "Test"
The properties of the table is listed below

Table Name: Test
Field Name: ADMDAT2 (Text)
DISDAT2 (Text)
Operation Date (Date/Time)

I have written a query to populate a field where the Operation Date is between the ADMDAT2 and DISDAT2

Expr1: IIf([ADMDAT2] Is Null,"",IIf([Operation Date]>=[ADMDAT2] And [Operation Date]<=[DISDAT2],"Match"))

Unfornately it returns and ERROR message... I believe this may be because, the data type of the field, matching a Text with a Date/Time, I have rerun the query using a sample table where all the fields are Date/Time, and it work perfectly.

What i need help with how do i convert a text field into a Date/Time in a query?

So i can place that in the query before i populate the Test table. therefore it all should be date/time

thanks in advance

Forms :: How To Change Am Or Pm Based On Time Entered

Nov 1, 2013

I have a form where I am capturing StartTime and EndTime of certain events. I have set the input mask as 99:00 >LL;0;_

My users think it is too much to enter am or pm. What they want is the system to calculate the am pm based on the time entered.

If the time entered is between 8:00 to 11:59, the system should save it as 11:59 am and if the time entered is between 12:00 to 7.00, the system should save it as 7.00 pm.

How can I make this happen.

Forms :: Change Command To Toggle - Run Time Error 2115

Apr 14, 2015

I have a routine than has been working perfectly up to now. My save routine was called by clicking a Command Button called cmdAdd.

I tried to change this Command Button to a toggle button by deleting it then creating the toggle button, naming it cmdAdd and clicking on the event property to link it to the existing procedure. PS It is an UnboundForm

BTW, I've done this for several other commands without a problem but with this particular case I get the following error

Run Time Error 2115.

The macro or function set to the Before Update or Validation Rule is preventing Access from saving etc."

It seems likely that I need to do something to the toggle properties.

It allows the docmd.save but still says "You must save the current field before you run the Requery action"

The system is looking to save/update and something is stopping it. Funny though that this doesn't occur with Command Button

I have tried decompiling, compact and repair, commenting out every line that involved updating a field or variable (Except for a recordset operation that does correctly do the updates required)

BTW the Toggle button has no Before or After Update events - Only the On_Click

A form displays information on a construction site in various text boxes. I want to enable the user to change this information but not until a save button is pressed.

Now I have the problem that as soon as I change the value of a text box, the data in the database is updated.

Is there a way to prevent these updates but still get the text fields to be linked to the attributes of a table?

Change The Datasheet-view Properties

Oct 24, 2005

I created some forms in datasheet view. Now I want to change the datasheet properties (background color, text color...): the problem is that the forms I create with the new properties are displayed as I want, but the old forms are displayed with the old properties.
Does it exist a command to open the old forms/subforms with the new properties or do I have to re-create all the old forms?

Forms :: Change Combo Box To Text Box - Show Unbound Column Value

May 28, 2013

How to change a combo box to a text box control in a subform for a field that is based on a two-column value list. I want to be able show the value in the unbound column (which is a text value instead of a number).

My subform has a field called "ProjectStatus". This field is a value list in my projects table with the following row source:

1;"Built";2;"Unbuilt";3;"Active";4;"On Hold";5;"Completed (Master Plan)";0

So, it is set as a two-column value list with a number data type for the bound column. In my forms, column 1 is made invisible (set to 0") so that only the text value is shown to the user. This works fine with combo boxes.

However, I want to change the unsightly combo box to a text box and show the text value of the unbound column (this form will only be used to show data not for entry). When I change it to a text box control, the value that appears is a number, of course.

If ProjectStatus were based on a table, rather than a lookup value list, I would query it but I am not sure how it should be done with a value list. I could just store the text value instead, I guess, and redo a bunch of stuff or I could create a "Status" table and redo a bunch of stuff (this seems like my lot in life lately) but I feel like there should be some way to do this.

Forms :: Text Box Bound To A Field - Change Sequential Numbering

Jul 31, 2013

One of my forms has a text box which is bound to a field called teenumber. This form is set up that "on current" has code

If Me.teenumber = 0 Or IsNull(Me.teenumber) Then
Me.teenumber = Nz(DMax("teenumber", "tblteeofftimesshotgun"), 0) + 1

This enables the text box teenumber to be auto filled with sequential numbers growing by 1 for each record. This database is for a golf tournament and this form enables user to set up tee times for shotgun start for the players.

When the user gets to tee number 18 or whatever the last hole on the course is the teenumber field needs to be reset to 1. With the above code I a unable to do this.

Forms :: Keep Mouse Cursor At The End Of Text Box After On Change Event Procedure?

However, after that the event, the mouse cursor moved to the beginning of other field. I want it to stay at the end of the textbox so I can enter a full word, how do I do that?

Code:

Private Sub Text73_Change()

Forms :: Passing Datasheet Value To Another Form

Mar 31, 2015

Anyway, I have a form that opens in datasheet view. It displays company names that exist on a client table based on a "Like" criteria the user typed into a text box. They type the word "network" in the text box, click search and a datasheet opens that has all companies that have "network" somewhere in the title. That's it. Works perfectly. We'll call this datasheet view form result "Test Query Form."

I have a second form that currently allows users to select a company from a drop down box and then populates the rest of the form with data from a table for that company. Again, works perfectly. We'll call this form "Existing Info."

I want to make a change to this second form. Rather than allow a drop down combo box for selection of the company, I want the "Test Query Form" to open the "Existing Info" form and automatically populate the form based on the company that the user double clicks on in the "Test Query Form." For instance, if I type in "network" and clicked search and got three companies with the word "network" in the company name, I want the user to double click on the second company name and have the "Existing Info" form open up with that second company on it and all the info populated for that second company.

I know this needs to be VBA code on the dblClick command for the company name cell on the "Test Query Form" but I can't quite get it to push the company name through to the "Existing Info" form.

What I would like to do is use code on command button to open DS view and simply highlight (find) the record that was being viewed in the first form.

Main Form = frmBroachBase
DS Form = frmBroachBaseDS

Associated fields on both forms are - [AutoID], [BroachID] - that can be used to link the two forms.

Forms :: Filtering Form For All Records In Datasheet?

Apr 29, 2015

I'm using a datasheet that can be filtered for certain fields. I have a macro that opens a form to the record that was selected (aka "current") in the datasheet. It filters this opened form to "1 of 1" which makes sense. How would I go about filtering that form for all of the records left (after filtering) in the datasheet?

I hate macros, but I'm doing client-specific work. The primary key is a field (autonumber) called "ListingNumber".
