Querying Fields With Zeros
Jun 20, 2006
I have a database where the primary key is a field for pass numbers. Many of the pass numbers begin with zeros (example: 0023456). I changed the table property for the pass numbers to text so the zeros would be recognized. However, I have a form based on a query to search this pass number field. How can I get the query to recognize the pass numbers that begin with zeros. When I put in any other number above zero, the pass number satisfies the query and the employee information pops up. Aside from AllowZeroLength and trying to format the text field, I cannot get the query to recognize the pass numbers that begin with zero. Please help:eek:

Please can anybody help.
I wanted to have a form containing a list of members forenames and surnames in one record. I wanted to be able to input the members reference number and then the forename and surname would be automatically filled in.
I have achieved this through a query based on a table with ten foreign keys for the members. The query uses the members table ten times to join the ten foreign keys.
This works fine and the form runs with space for ten members and I can enter a members reference number in each field and their forenames and surnames are filled in.
The problem is that I wish to run queries with members surnames as criteria to bring out all records containing those members. How can this be done without having to set the criteria in the query in each of the members surname fields.
I know I can do this if I have a separate record for each member in the form
but I really need ten members in each record.
I hope this makes sense and somebody can help.
Thanks in advance
John

I am new to this forum and a beginner to intermediate with Access.
I was given a database that has 3 tables with data on the capture of alligators. One from 1998-2000, one from 2001-2003 and one from 2003-present. Each of these tables has different field names because they were created by different people on different projects. I need to combine the three tables into one that pulls such data as "date", "time", "size" etc. I don't need all of the fields from all of the tables just select ones and some of the tables do not have the information that I'd need in the final table. I've read through append, update, and make-table queries and am not sure if I can even solve this problem with a query. The error messages I get refer to null values or if I do get a table it has 14000 records, which is way more than the actual number of records.
Thanks for any ideas

Hello There,
I wonder if someone can clear up a problem I am having. We have a system under development which is heavily dependent on an existing MS Access database. Some of the queries in the Access version of the application query Memo fields and they work fine within Access.
If I try to use exactly the same query from an ASP/Vbscript web page the query does not return the expected results. I am using ADO and an ODBC DSN connection, all of the other queries seem to work fine.
I have a vague recollection of being told that you can not query Memo fields through an ODBC DSN, or that not all of the Memo field is queried, only the first 255 characters. Can anyone confirm this is true. I have tried searching the web, and some references that I have available, but it seems that there is nothing out there to confirm my suspicions.
Any direction anyone could give me would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I've created a report which shows zeros in various columns where there aren't any values to report. I think the report would look better and be easier to read without these zeros. I would like to suppress them and display blanks instead. I'm not sure how to do this.

I have a table "MansComps" which includes two fields, the "Index" field which contains a number, e.g "5" and the "Tabletype" field which contains a letter e.g "T". i have created a query based on this table, which combines these two fields and displays the result to a third field which I call "Components".
field: Index
1, 2, 3,....
field: Tabletype
T
field: "Component" has to be like this:
T00001, T00002,...
I have managed to combine the fields in my query using the expression:
Component: [Tabletype] & " " & [Index]
but the results appear without the leading zeros, like T1, T2..I have set my Index content to be a number and as a primary key and the Tabletype as a text. I also tried to change the format of Index to "00000" which works for the Index field separately but not for the Component field.Should I do something in the format of the Component field?

I have calculated fields on my tables and used zero values as default to show totals. But when I view my report, all the zeros appear. Don't want those zeros to appear on the report.

So, I've gotten my query to Sum a field according to Group By criteria. Simple enough, now that I've seen how it's done.
But, the summed data is not part of a table, it's a calculated value, like this;

This is probably an easy question by comparison to some of these others.
I have a table where a transaction number is always 8 digits. If the number is not 8 digits, it should start with zeros, such as
12345 should be 00012345
123456 should be 0123456
Is there a simple and fast way to do this? It can also be done in a form, since I enter the data through there. Will it be necessary to change the field from a number to a text data type?

I’ve got a six-character text field with values like: 354, 7237, 10438, all values under six-characters long. I need to run an update query to place sufficient “zeros” in front of each value to make it a six-character value. There are 8398 records to change! Got an idea? Please lemme know. Thanks.

I am formatting a table to be exported via fixed width and one of the main frame requirments is to have the dollar amount with leading zeros. So if a dollar amount is 500.02, I would need to update the tables dollar amount to 00000000000050002. Since the dollar amount will change, I will only need the leading zeros for the blank spaces because the field is right justified (for the mainframe).
Hopefully I am making sense.
Thanks for your help.

I have a table containing results of an online evaluation. Values are submitted to a field with numbers from 1-9. When someone selects NA I submit a 0
If my data in a field contains numbers 1-9 and 0's how can do an AVG function and remove the 0's?
Thanks

I have a table and one of the entries requires a 10 digit number. I have added "0000000000" as the format, but in the form to populate the field if I only enter 6 digits it just adds leading zeros.

Hi all,
I have been trying to move some of my employer's database information from Excel to Access. The fields are simple stuff, first name, last name, address, etc. My only problem is the Amount Owed section in which I would have to put amounts such as 1270.70. In Access, I formatted the field as currency with 2 decimal places. Thus, it shows up as $1270.70 in the Access database.
However, when I mail merge the field to the letter, I only see 1270.7. I could not seem to make that last 0 appear. How could I make the 0 appear?
Further, as I have said, I have been moving records from Excel to Access. For mail merge purposes, would you recommend Excel or Access?
Thanks!

I know this is probably a stupid question and I'm overlooking something obvious, but... I have a Long Integer field that has an input mask requirement of 7 numbers. Sometimes the number starts with a 0, but instead of showing as 0468165, it shows up as 468165. I want the 0 to show at the beginning. How can I do this? Thanks!

So, I have two tables that, cut down, look like this:
Table1:
Code budget
100 5
110 7
120 3
150 6
Table2:
Code actual
100 4
110 9
130 2
150 1
I have another table that is all the codes plus a description.
I thought I was being clever because I realised that there are items in Table1 that do not appear in Table2 and vice versa. I need a query that is, in effect, Table1 minus Table2.
I linked all three tables via “code”, created my query with the minus calculations and thought it had worked.
One problem. Where there is a “code” in one table but not in the other, the query puts a blank or “null” into that field. Then the minus calculation gives, say:
null - 2 = null
I’m used to Excel where:
blank - 2 = -2
Is there any way to get round this please? This must be a common problem, no?
Thank you.

I have to add the row data in two columns together. I used
val([COLUMN 1])+val([COLUMN 2]) and it works unless one of the columns has a zero in it. For example if column 1 is 25 and column 2 is NULL it runs the query but puts a #ERROR in those rows. Please help.

I created a subform from a table and when I view it I have a row with all zeros. I tried everything, but I can't seem to remove it.

Orange $0.35 5
0 0 0 <----- I want to get rid of this:D

I have a table that I need to enter values into but for some reason when I enter a decimal (ex: .015), it automatically changes to 0. I have the Data Type set as Number, Field Size as Long Integer and Decimal Places to 3. I have another field set the same way and it works fine.

I have been working in Access 2007 creating a database. For the most part I've been able to figure everything out but I have a field where I'm putting a three digit code. It has an input mask, that is set as a text file, and is "000". I thought that would force all three numbers to show even if there was a zero in front.
However, the leading zeros are being removed and I can't figure out how to make them stay so that I can see them.

In the following simplified query, in some months(MonthOf) there were no warranties so I have a null field for AcceptedWarranties:
SELECT qryWarranty.MonthOf, qryWarranty.AcceptedWarranties
FROM qryWarranty;
In order to make my Warranty Trends graph work I need 0s. Other postings show the following statement should get the results I need:
SELECT ISNULL(AcceptedWarranties, 0 ) FROM qryWarranty
But no matter how I try to work this into the original code, the compiler finds reason to reject it.

I have a table with (integer) numbers! using the format "00000" i can make sure that it will be 5 digits.
No i am aiming to combine the five digit number with a text in another column and do not succed at all.
what i want to get:
column A: number (e.g. 1)
column B: number 4 digits (e.g. 0001)
column C: number combined with string (e.g. ab0001cd)
Of course it would be a nice one to skip the coluimn B! - what ever i tried ended up in sth. like "ab1cd" at the best....

I have two tables.
table a contains a list of numbers (ie invoice)
10215
10316
15751
16925
016744
012458
table b contains the same numbers but with leading zeros:
000000010215
000000010316
000000015751
000000016925
000000016744
000000012458
How can I make a match query to show me the results 1 ie:
10215 = 000000010215
10316 = 000000010316
012458 = 000000012458
I tried the opposite with a module stripzeros() but that gives me wrong data as it removes all the leading zeros.
