General :: Look Up Wizard Displays Numerical Value Instead Of Text
Mar 19, 2015
I am having some problem regarding the way the options in a lookup field is displayed. Currently the options are displayed numerically instead of displaying the actual text.
I have three tables which are ContactPersonnelT, OrganizationT and TrainingDonorT.
One of the fields in the ContactPersonnelT table is, Affiliation. This field is a lookup value (look up wizard) which comes from the OrganizationT table field, OrganizationName.
In the TrainingDonorT table I have a field called, ContactPersonnel. This field is a lookup value which comes from the ContactPersonnelT table field, ContactPersonName. In the drop down list of the ContactPersonnel, besides the ContactPersonName. I also want to display the Affiliation field. However, instead of displaying the text in the OrganizationName field, a numerical value is showing.
How to change the display to text instead of the numerical value.
I have to make changes to an existing Dbase. Problem is that in this Dbase it is on one form possible to put text in a numerical field. I need to do this again, however it does not work, Access gives the message that Text will not go in a numerical field. I am talking about a combobox.
is there any way I can make a field with a data type that calculates numbers in the field but also allows text to be entered into the field (e.g. N/A or No Score) The non-numerical data certainly wouldn't have to be calculated and could be filtered out when calculating averages and other numerical operations.
What is the best solution to this problem? How can I automatically assign a numerical value to a field based on the information currently contained as test in another field? For example, if I have a field that ranks a film as “Poor, Fair, Good, Great, Superior”, how can I have a set value appear for statistical purposes that assigns a number to each of these values (Something like: If rating of current record = “Poor”, then ranking = “1”; If rating of current record = “Fair”, then ranking = “2”; If rating of current record = “good”, then ranking = “3”, etc. I also want to be able to have the values recalculate if someone changes their original opinion.
Haya all, I’m new to access and I’m trying to create a database for my boss, but am a bit stuck, it’s a Bundy clock system in access, I have the tables set up (I think), and what I’m stuck on is building a form where, when I put in the employs ID and press enter there name appears underneath, can anyone point me in the right direction of a tute that would show me how to do this?
Thanks so much
The way I have the table set up is 3 fields, staff ID, first name, last name. All within one table
I think I’m in over my head… but you have to learn somehow :confused:
I've been building a small app for some friends. At present, they enter "records" line by line into a word processor, then use (archaic, IMHO) macros to produce the desired printouts. They wanted the new data entry UI to mimic that process.
Ok, so I've adopted the datasheet form as the principal entry vehicle. Based on the initial info they gave me, there were two convenient fields to sort on, so I used them in the OrderBy clause of the query which serves as the form's recordsource. I also developed the code to maintain the sort order after they inserted or deleted a record.
Now it turns out they don't require an entry into those fields, and in fact there's no logical field at all on which to order by.
So the question is: how to approach this? From my reading, I can't use the primary key or an autonumbered field, since the former won't necessarily reflect the desired incrementation and the latter only triggers for a new record, not an insertion (is this correct?).
My thought is to add a simple numerical field (which will be hidden from the user) with sequential values. I can do the OrderBy on it, and add code to adjust those values whenever a record is deleted or inserted. (That will require looping through the recordset from the point where the deletion or insertion occurred.)
For instance, is there some way to add a calculated field to the recordsource for this purpose?
I am using Access 2007. I recently converted my table field from text to memo. When I run a query and report linked to the qry the memo text is displayed as Chinese character or square box (if field is empty). In some forum posts this is shown as a font bug e.g. with Calibri. I changed from Calibri to Arial as this was reported to correct the bug. It did not work.
My field is set to Grow and Shrink, and table font is Rich Text also as mentioned in other posts. Still not working out.
I use this to record piece counts and weight of items of freight that I pick up in Boston ( all seafood by the way) Anyhow here is the problem I'm having. Anytime I create a report one of my field names (RECIVER) keeps displaying as a unique number. Example, "New Enland Fish Market" display's as "14" which is its auto number assigned to it when I created the Table of recievers.
I have a report that displays the results of a query. The query and the report are both run from a submit button on a form. I use DoCmd.OpenQuery "name", followed by DoCmd.OpenReport "name". Due to slow network connection the query shows up before the form is displayed. I would like the query to be hidden or minimised. In other words, I do not want the user to see the results of the query, only the report.
I need to add new records to a table depending on what the cbo box displays. I figure this is the way to do it but I it's not working, I have only writen the first select,
Private Sub Comando6_Click() Dim dbPalavraChave As DAO.Database Dim rstchaveCFEPC As DAO.Recordset Set dbPalavraChave = CurrentDb Set rstchaveCFEPC = dbPalavraChave.OpenRecordset("chaveCFEPC")
When I did the first import I did it by doing an import text file, located the file 1.txt. The Import Text Wizard opened and I picked Fixed With so I could break out the information myself.After dividing that information I hit advanced and changed the field name to match what they should be. Next, then it ask me to save Import Steps and I said yes.
First: how I can use the saved import to import this file again using the text wizard Second: how can I set it so it imports a numbers of files, maybe one or maybe all 30? Third: how difficult would it be to all the file name in the first or last column?
I had posted this a couple weeks back but it didn't help much in the end, thanks to anybody who posted there anyway though.
I've used the Lookup wizard to make a lookup menu in one of my tables. The field I tell it to refer to in another table is a Text type. However, after the lookup wizard completes the type of the field which is uses the menu is changed to Number.
At this point it can be kind of whacked out and inconsistent, but what usually happens is if I select a value from the lookup field it refers to the auto number that I used as a primary key for the looked up value.
I created a new table, and tried to do a lookup field for for the same fields and got the same problem - I think it's an issue with the field I'm looking up.
I'm 100% sure I didn't do anything stupid like select the ID auto number for the lookup... So what's going on?
I am exporting a large query to a delimited text file. I'm finding that it takes more than 5 minutes just to get the Export Text Wizard to load, and I'm guessing that's because Access is running the query as it loads the wizard.
I created *.mdb database and I used (user-level security wizard) to give each user a username and a password. The dB file is saved in D: drive. The security wizard created a shortcut on the desktop to open the dB through it. After using that wizard I cannot open the database directly from drive D:.If I try to open it , it says"You don't have necessary permissions to use the database".Now, there are many users should use this db through the network.
When using the runtime version, there is an issue with trusted locations. The only way around this, it seems is to edit (add) the registry key,My research tells me the key to be added is:
If I use the Packing Wizard with Access 2007 to prepare an installation disk, there is the option for Additional Registry Keys, which looks promising, however, I am unsure how to proceed. You are asked: Root, Key, Name and Value. There are 4 options for Root: Default root, Current user, All users, Classes root.
I've managed to use the lookup wizard to show me two fields in the drop down list, first name and last name, but when i select a record I can only see the first name in the cell, not both.
When I use the filter by form, filter by selection, and toggle filter buttons located on the ribbon, they work normally on my form, in the usual way.
However when I use the button wizard to add the various available filter buttons to my form, it adds the buttons with the correct graphics on - but in form view clicking on the buttons does not actually do anything.
I've tried running compact and repair but still the same.
here I have capture what is error actually when i make a DLOOKUP wizard.the box of wizard. there i want to make a relationship with table2. but we could see that table1 still show. yes right, it's reality making error and show message ""you can't modify the structure of table, because it is already in use by another person or process"and warning message ""Microsoft access couldn't launch the lookup wizard, or this wizard has been disabled...blabla...blaa"
on my laptop, ms access 2010 nothing happen the mattter and when i make DLOOKUP, parent table have been not seen.and make DLOOKUP Wizard is successfull.
why in my PC, when i make DLOOKUP wizard, parent table still show?what is this bug for MS access 2010?
i have a query that returns data per week number. To obtain the week number i used this : Format([Date],"ww"). This gives me the week numbers great but when the query is sorted the week numbers are not sorted numerically, ie i get this
1 10 11 12 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
is there a way to sort my data to be numerical. Here is the query:
SELECT Format([Date],"ww") AS [Week Number], Sum(Conformance.Scrap_Quantity) AS Scrap, Sum(Conformance.Rework_Quantity) AS Rework FROM Conformance WHERE (((Conformance.Procedure_Followed)=False)) GROUP BY Format([Date],"ww");
Lets say I have table with one of the column header as notes. The notes is of type 'text'
In the notes column information like the following is typed out
MAX O.D 3.456" Min ID 1.2" and OAL 3.4"
or
MAX O/D 5.456" Min I.D 1.2" and Min Length 4.4 inches
I want to pull out the first numerical value (3.456 - first example, 5.456 -second example) and the last numerical value (3.4 -first example and 4.4 in second example). How would I be able to do this.
So the end result should be 2 more columns with max od as one and min length as the other. Regards George
My problem is the amount is showing on the screen as 3.15654E+11 I need it to show the actual value which is 315,654,000,000 I already have the field set as double.
When I tried to import the field from a csv file, it created errors when I had the field set as Long Integer. When I changed it to double, I didn't get the errors but got the value of these larger amounts as 3.15654E+11
I tried to update query just those records to the value 315,654,000,000 but got another error.
I have an ASP form that saves numerical data to an access database via an insert statement in the asp page.
The main problem i have is that i have some code that adds all the stored values together and provides a total on the screen for the user to print off.
I would like to save this 'total' value to a field in the table but cannot seem to get this to work.
So i thought of running a query in access that would add the sum total of a number of fields and store it to the total field.
I am working on an app, that has a field named "Name". I have everything set up with a module, which, for example, the name "John", it assigns 1. when it sees "John" again it assigns 2. Then "Jane" It assigns 1 again. I want the module to see every instance of "John" to assign the same number, 1, then all instances of "Jane" 2, etc. Here is the code in the module I am using, but it is assigning the values wrong. My final plan is to use the numbers for conditional formatting, so all johns one color, all janes, a different color. I can't use the conditional formatting wizard because these names pop up at random, and the names populate at random.

I have a table which tracks material quotes. I have two fields for the quantity range called PriceBreakBegin and PriceBreakEnd. If I have a part that has contract pricing (no limit on the PriceBreakEnd), can I use a wildcard or something in the PriceBreakEnd field to represent any number, and not just the highest integer I can put in there like 99999?
