I am making a new Record in the design view of a table (creating a new field in the table), and I am assigning it a date type, is there a hotkey that will select the field properties sheet so that I can select the format of the field without having to move my mouse?
View RepliesI have a table called NewTransactions_tbl that I have been using for some time. I am trying to add a new field called CustomerProjectNumber. It's not being displayed when I look at the table view. I've attached an image showing the settings for the field. I am probably missing something obvious.
Any ideas why it is not showing?
I am using Access 2000.
Why the ability to view the properties of an object within a form is not available when you double click on it in design view?
I was happily working away double clicking on a command button to edit some code when for some reason the next time I tried to edit it did not open up for me.
I was unable to access it even by right clicking on the object & selecting properties as that also appears to be disabled, not greyed out or anything but just does nothing when selected.
Have I inadvertently changed a setting somewhere that prevents the properties from being displayed?
I am working in the design view of a form, the controls properties sheet disappeared-gone and even clicking the properties sheet button it does not come back.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI run a query daily and have to alter the date in the design view (as below).
>=#01/04/2013# And <#11/03/2014#
All I want is for the query to run 2 days behind, so for example today is the 12/03/2014, I use the above, and then daily change this every day.
I am trying to hardcode in the field name. This is what I want to hardcode "TEXT(ROW(A17),"-0")" but the parenthesis and quotation marks are causing a syntax error. It appears like this
IDENTITY:"TEXT(ROW(A17),"-0")"
What am I doing wrong?
I have two tables in Access 2010:
Tbl1 - Abbreviations: with fields (1) "Abbreviation" and (2) "Definition"
Tbl2 - Piping: with multiple fields one of which is "Unit"
In Design View of Tbl2, I'd like to set the "Validation Rule" for the "Unit" field so that it is restricted to values in field 1 of the Abbreviations Table (i.e. one of the listed abbreviations").
I tried variations of "[Tables]![Abbreviations]![Abbreviation]" in the "Validation Rule" portion of the Design View for Tbl2 (Piping) but, couldn't get this to work.
I have a table in Access 2010 containing the results of a survey. One of the fields in table is the actual quotes from customers who gave direct feedback. I have created a simple report containing all of the quotes. My manager would liek them included in a summary Word doc but wants quotation marks around every quote. It's too many to manually after the report is exported to Word. Is there a way to include quotation marks around the field in the report design view?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an old db. I would like to see the forms and tables so I can select them and make changes. I know there is a way to access those items on startup but I have forgotten how. When I bring up the db I see a form and I can get into VB for that form but I cannot see any embedded table, forms reports, etc.

Hi
I have a table that when imported from an external program (sage) has a number based property.
To achieve linkage with other tables, I have to manually change the field fom a number to text.
Is this possible to achieve programmatically.
Much appreciated on any advise.

Is there a way to gain access to the Field Properties using VBA?
I'm trying to loop thru the Tables in a database and find out the Fields that are indexed in each table.
I can loop through the table Defs to get each table name and a list of Fields but I can't seems to get to the Field Properties, namely "INDEXED".
I try to put an expression for the property "bound column" so that my lookup values will be directly dependent on one of attribute's choice
I have got four options for my attribute. Each option will use a slightly different set of lookup values. I save all four sets in another table.
Then in my properties definition I refer directly to this table as lookup base. When I put bound column number equal to an expression so as to choose the right column of lookup values it refuses. It seems that it does notl ike anything other than a numeric value.
If that's a no-go, I am not sure how to achieve what I try to do then?
Essentially I have a table that 4 attributes: QID,itemID,CatType,Catchoice
CatType can have only 4 values. Each value will make Catchoice take on a different set of combo values
The problem I am having is that I am stuck at the Catchoice lookup definition because it is dependent on what kind of CatType the user picks.
I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut to expand the columns in "design view" of a query.
What I mean by this is rather than selecting all of the columns and double clicking to see the entire text, I'd like to be able to a shortcut.
The entire process as I see it involves 3 steps so I will need thesolution to the 3rd step.
(1) [ctrl+spacebar] to select initial column
(2) [shift+arrows] to select all of the columns I need
(3) [keyboard shortcut] will expand all of the columns "field" names to the size of the column heading
Alternatively, if you know of a shortcut that will expand the columns without having to select them first I'll take it!!
You know how normally in design view there would be a table at the bottom of the screen where you can drag your fields from the view above.
Well, I have a query where this table view has disappeared ?
I can edit the query in SQL view, the query works, just the table view is missing.
Ever happened to anyone else ? I've done the obvious and scrolled down as far as I can and nope, it's not there ??? :confused:
Recently I'm helping a friend to convert his MS-Excel spreadsheet into MS-Access. I met a problem and need some help on defining the table fields.
In one of spreadsheets, he gets 3 columns, the 3rd column values is calcuated by a formula based on the previous two entries as the followinf: D3= C3+B3
When I tried to turn this table into MS-Access design, I don't know how to define the 3rd column (field).
Is there any chance I can set any expression/formula for 3rd field in the table defnition to retrieve data from previous columns( I don't want to design this function in the query)?
Many thanks
Hi, I have a table if I do view in design view has all validations in description.I am trying to copy this to excell or word so that I can get things started.. and I just cant seem to copy that view which I see in design. I got 174 fields so its obvious I cant copy and paste 174 times...

Hi.
Other than manually moving fields in a table in design mode, can I get the fields alphabetized?

problem using MS Access 2010. One of my database field's is using multiply values (you can add one than more values in that field by checkbox). So, for example, one record in that ONE field looks like this: "Gastropoda; Mermithidae; Nematoda; Oligochaeta; Scorpiones". When I'm going to "PrivotTable view" I have only "Ga" for instance instead of full names...

I have four tables in a single .MDB file. I need to export the contents of the Design View of each table to a text file. How do I go about doing that? I've tried the help files and Access for Dummies, but neither are giving me the info I need.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have tables that are linked to the AS400 via a file dsn. Whenever i go to the table properties, i receive a message indicating that i may not be able to save changes, but im trying to go to the properties=>description so that i can change the description of the table, which will enable me to change the filepath of the dsn from a mapped drive to the full path of the filename. Whenever i change the description, the changes do not stick? Any solutions?::D

can anyone explain how to use a percentage in a table.
i have a field designated as data type "number" and format set to Percentage.
when i go to datasheet view and attempt to enter in these percentage (1%,50%, 34%, etc) it is multiplying the data entered by 100 (100.00%,5000.00%,3400.00%, etc).
gotta be something easy.

I was wondering if there is a way to export the Table Design Structure:
1) Field Name
2) Data Type
3) Description
Into a Spreadsheet.
I was able to do this a long time ago, but can't seem to remember. I'm using Access 2000.
Thanks!
