How can I adjust my required field so that you cannot simply enter a space bar character to circumvent the requirement?
Here is part of the code:
If IsNull([txtRequiredReason]) Then
MsgBox "The Reason field is required"
DoCmd.GoToControl "txtRequiredReason"
Else
Hi!
I have a field that has to be 20 Characters long. Most of the time data for this field is less than 20 characters, so the remaining has to be filled with spaces to make it 20. e.g. if there is a record xyz1234567, then the rest of the record should have 10 spaces like xyz1234567ssssssssss, meaning if i click on this record then the cursor should not blink after 7 but after the spaces. Hope I am making sense.
Thanks for any input.
We have a spreadsheet that i upload onto a table, i use on of the fields to build a file path but if there is a special character it causes problems,i need to replace the below with spaces if they are in my field called path
< (less than)
> (greater than)
: (colon)
" (double quote)
/ (forward slash)
(backslash)
| (vertical bar or pipe)
? (question mark)
* (asterisk)
. (full stop)
, (commer)
how i can do this in some sort of update query.
I use the following code to get the first and second instances of a "/" character. How to get the position of the third instance.
iUPC = "123-7754LF-(A/S red Top)-T19/97876564"
'get number of instances
xTimes = 0
xTimes = Len(iUPC) - Len(Replace(iUPC, "/", ""))
'get position of characters
xInstance1 = InStr(1, iUPC, "/")
xInstance2 = InStr(InStr(1, iUPC, "/") + 1, iUPC, "/")
I need help with a required field that has different character lengths.
I have an input mask that covers the first 7 characters, however, the users are still entering the incorrect policy numbers, I need to put a stop to it.
I have 3 different policy number lengths involved, 7, 8 and 9.
They are different kinds as well, alpha, alpha/numeric and numeric.
Example below:
P###### - 7 characters
02###### - 8 characters
02M##### - 8 characters
NX####### - 9 characters
HX###### - 8 characters
HXL##### - 8 characters
HXM##### - 8 characters
My question is this -- do I have to create 7 different forms or can I program it to accept only the certain (policy#) characters above. Or can I create a query to insert into my form.
Any help is appreciated, Thanks as always.

I have a form linked to a SQL DB. There is a column on the table that is defined as 1 byte character... Not Null... default value = ' '. If I edit this column via a linked table on a form and try to enter a space it does not see the space as a valid character and tries to update the row with null.. which is not allowed. Is there a way to force the space character to be recognized in Access as a valid character?

Whenever a character, let's say a "t", is entered into that field I would like the current time to populate that field. Right now we are actually typing in the time. I have the fields set up as DateTime fields currently.

View 6 Replies View RelatedIn my Dbase, I have a table with a text field. Field name is Country
There are over 5000 records in the table and many of these in the Country field start with a space. I would like to get rid of this space as to ensure that all text starts with a character, rather than a space.
How can I achieve this.
I have a query that I export to a text file with fixed width settings.
For one particular field that had only been one character and 5 spaces I used PGM: " " & [ProgramCode] for my field. The recipient of the export file requires that this field be 6 spaces long and leading spaces fill in any unused field.
Now, one of the records for this field will be 2 character so the way it is now will cut off the leading character. How can I write this to add leading spaces until it reaches 6?
i want that when i press the space key on my keyboard oi will exit from the form. i searched on the interne t but i couldn't find the proper one. I don't know exactly what i have to write in vba.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am having an issue with some imports. As you will be able to see from the attached Db file, some fields import into MS Access with a leading space in front.
The problem is, Access doesn't seem to see it. For example, (in Query_1) I try to find the leading space with a Left and a Mid function using: " ", "", and Null... but none of these criteria match.
However if you use Left(string, 1)... the empty space will post. So my question is: How can I programmatically eliminate these leading spaces when I can't state if there is a leading space or not?
Take a look...
I want to be but to save a space in a field on a table but every time I do it appears to be a NULL and therefore fails a validation rule that I wish to preserve.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI use several fields to capture a name: LName, FName, MI and Suffix.
In a report I combine the fields.
=[LName] & " " & [Suffix] & ", " & [FName] & " " & [MI]
This works fine if there is a suffix; however, without a suffix I have an extra space.
What is the "work around" to eliminate the space.
I like to store SQL code as a memo field in a table. I then use a form to collect selection criteria from the user, and this is used to create a 'WHERE' clause which is then appended to the stored SQL. This has always worked, but in one recent case the SQL failed. On examination I discovered that although the SQL is correctly stored in the memo field, when Access retrieves the code it inserts a space character in the middle of one of the words, thereby of course creating an invalid SQL string. It's easy to work around it, but why this happens? A bug in Access?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI will try and keep this brief. I have a paragraph of text, I have to paste it into a system which allows me 75 characters in a line and 208 in a page.
I have code which creates text boxes dynamically based on the total amount of characters/208 - this gives me how many textboxes need creating. I also have code which then populates those textboxes 208 characters at a time. I now need to alter it so it puts a line break every 75 characters.
Code:
Private Sub btnsubmit_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "NoteForm", acDesign
Dim x As Integer
Dim ctrl As Control
Dim y As Integer
[Code] ....
So I've achieved almost what I want, I just need to amend it so it starts a new line after every 75 characters...
