Here is my problem:
Let's say that I have a table with a field name of "Phone Number". I input about 200 #'s in the following format: xxx-xxx-xxxx. I decide that I want to use the an input mask to create (xxx) xxx-xxxx. I input 50 more #'s. The previous 200 have the old format while the 50 recent #'s have the new format. How can I update the entire field from the old format to the new without reentering the data? Or can I? If I can, will the change also apply to any forms created off of this table?
Thanks
I'm trying to pass some dates from an excel userform into access.
The date is chosen using the DTPicker tool ( basically a drop down calender). I have set the property of this to custom format dd/MM/yyyy, however dates get passed to the appropriate field in access in the American format.
In access the date fields are set to Short Date and the example shown for this format is in the UK format. I assign the date to a variable before passing that variable to the update SQL string:
Code: s1 = Nz(DTPicker1.Value, #1/1/2000#)
I have dimmed s1 as date and then added:
Code:
s1 = Format(Date, "dd/MM/yyyy")
My update string is:
Code: "SET [Stage 1] = " & "#" & s1 & "#" & " "
I suspect that the nozero function may be the issue but am at a bit of loss atm.
I am new to access 2010. I have a table called "Forecasts", and I wish to update the timestamp with todays date, whenever the user makes a change to the qty of goods forecasted.
I have been researching online for the solution to the correct format to datetime, but it doesnt seem to work.
Code: Dim todayDate As Date todayDate = Date Dim sqlString As String sqlString = "UPDATE [Forecasts] " & _
[Code] .....
The messagebox shows:
UPDATE [Forecast] SET Branch_Plant=123, Item_Number_Short='222', Description='AAA', UOM='EA', Estimated_Cost=123, Requesting_Business_Unit='AAA', End_Customer='CCC', Project ='Secret', Timestamp=#26/12/2013# WHERE ID =24
Then I hit a syntax error. Whats wrong with sqlString?
The following code is supposed to insert a date formatted as dd/mm/yyyy into a table, when i view the mySQL string in the debug window it shows the correct format, however when i open the table it displays the date as mm/dd/yyyy.
The table's date field userdate is formatted as a short date field with an input mask of dd/mm/yyyy.
My computers date settings are set up as dd/mm/yyyy as well
Any ideas on hows to correct this?
Thanks in advance. :)

The transfer spreadsheet function only allows one to export a table from the database to an excel file format. I want to output the table to a file in csv format using a simple function. Is this possible ?
Greetings all, I am probably just being dense. But how do I go about entering a percentage of say 5% in a numer field formated to percentage in a table? If I enter 5 in translates to 500%, .05 as 0! Thanks, Brian. Zimbabwe.
I know in creating columns in a table where I have date/time you can select long short, etc. But, I want my column name to be YR and the values of 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 all the way to 2020. So I end up with 7 rows. Then another date related table that houses the months. It will have a column name of MTH and the values Jan through Dec so a total of 12 rows. I have tried in format putting YYYY and MMM but when entering the data, it gives me an error saying I have to convert, click the calendar and choose a date. I don't want to choose month, day and year. I just want the year.
Hi guys, hope you can help. I have two fields (that I'm interested in) in my table: Insurance Policy End Date and Reminder Date. I would like the default value in the reminder date to be exactly six weeks before the value entered in Policy End date. I'm not at all sure how to do this with the expression builder. Could you guys nudge me in the right direction? Eternally grateful.
I guess this is pretty fundamental but I cant get it right! I want to search for a member by post code so I need to have validation for my table field post code so that when my parameter query accepts the post code input records will be returned covering all input types e.g. Users can put in CF72 (space)9AD or CF729AD and still get the same records or alternately how do I make users enter Post Codes with the correct UK spacing i.e 4 characters a space then the remaining characters?
A lady at work created an Access database that imports a dBase 5 file and when I go to import this file on User #1 PC it gives the error;
"External table is not in the expected format."
I can use the same Access database and same dBase file to import (stored on a shared network drive) from User #2 & #3's PC's and all works well. The only problem is that it is User #1 job to do this.
I unloaded Access 2003 and reloaded it and still the same results. All 3 PC's are identical via hardware and software.
It use to work until this past Tuesday when it started to give the error.
My steps are: open the "Sales" Access database select the prices table Get External Data / Import and then select Prices.dbf Then the error message comes up.
I am not an Access database guy and could use some help!
I have set the Left([DSERDBA_RECEIPTS].[RCTH_RECEIPT_NO],8) AS [DISTRIBUTION DT] field property to Short Date, 99/99/0000;0;_ . When I run the query I get that field formated as a short date, but when I try to create a table from the same query the data returned is no longer in the date format. Is there something I can do to have the make table results look like what I get when I just run the query without creating a table?
SELECT DSERDBA_RECEIPTS.RCTH_ID_CASE AS [CASE], DSERDBA_RECEIPTS.RCTH_DT_RECEIPT AS [DT RCTH], Left([DSERDBA_RECEIPTS].[RCTH_RECEIPT_NO],8) AS [DISTRIBUTION DT], DSERDBA_DISBURSEMENTS.DSB_DT_DISBURSE INTO [TABLE 1]
FROM [UNIVERSE OF CASES] INNER JOIN (DSERDBA_RECEIPTS INNER JOIN DSERDBA_DISBURSEMENTS ON DSERDBA_RECEIPTS.RCTH_RECEIPT_NO = DSERDBA_DISBURSEMENTS.DSB_RECEIPT_NO) ON [UNIVERSE OF CASES].STAT_CASE_ID = DSERDBA_RECEIPTS.RCTH_ID_CASE
WHERE (((DSERDBA_RECEIPTS.RCTH_ID_CASE)="20028570P"));
How can I do this? There doesn't seem to be an member of Field called format. Why is this? I want to make the display on a Boolean field, in a Table made from a Make Table Query, to Yes/No, rather than default 0/-1.
My Access DB has two tables linked to excel spreadsheets. Excel is the only way I can acquire this data from another source. The Excel spreadsheets update themselves on a regular basis.
My problem is that one of the fields in the spreadsheet needs to be formatted as a date and I have been unable to get Excel to handle this automatically.
Is there some way that I can date format a field in a table that is linked to an Excel spreadsheet?
Unless I can figure this out, I have to manually be involved with each Excel Update.
I have an issue with queries not showing sufficient decimal points, even though the underlying table does have the formatting I desire.
If I open Table 1 directly, for Field 1 I have a value of 0.1439254445378153860918842318 using a format of decimal / fixed / Precision: 18 / Scale: 0 / Decimal: 2 and it shows in the table as 0.14 until I click on the cell in which case I get the full value above.
This is how I want it to show (0.14). When I run a query on this table, not setting any formats in the query, I get 0.00, and clicking on the cell only provides a result of 0. I've tried a ton of different underlying formats on Table 1, and been unable to get a different result...
I wanted to assign the field "Number of magazine" with special format based on date/time format but showing only year and month in the format: "yyyy-mm".
So in property of this field in format I put yyyy-mm and in input mask I type 0000-00;;-
I also created the form based on the table containing above field and I defined format and input mask for corresponding formant in the same way like at the table.
But if I try to type date for example 2014-01 in text box of the form it comes up with the full date 2014-01-01. Why does it do like this? What do I do incorrectly?
Hi, I am trying to email a table in text format using :
DoCmd.SendObject acSendTable, "Table", acFormatTXT, , , , "Results", "Attached are the reslts"
It sends the file in text file format, but it adds "-" & "|" characters all over the file. Is there a way that I can send the file in simple "Comma Separated" file format.
i have 1 table that link to excel file. the excel file is generate by other software and it's on excel 2.1 format. I've tried to directly link to the file but not working. so i manually open the file and save the file on excel 2002 format, then i use that file to be linked on my mdb. Unfortunately every time i replace the file with the newest data, my mdb not displaying the updated data.
- how can i link old version of excel on mdb? - what should i do so my mdb will display the updated data after the excel file is replaced?
DB Setup: Table1: I have a table (Vendor) that has 2 fields (# & Name) with # being an AutoNumber. So only Name is being input via a form. I have formatted the autonumber field as 000;(000). Table2: A table that is populated via form with invoice info etc and vendor number is added through a drop down combo box (which also has the above format on it) Table3: Similar to table2, with slightly diff info but still vendor #
Query1: Is a make table that consolidates table 1 & 2 via union on like fields (ie vendor #) This make table also has the format from above in its properties field, although when i open the table it makes (Table4) the vendor field is not formatted as i need it. So 3 appears as 3 not 003.
Query2: takes table4 adds some extra info and exports file (as txt or xls)using outputTo & TransferText macro so that it can be loaded into a Hyperion Essbase system
My problem is that although the field value is formatted as 003 in appearance, when i take it to excel it changes back to 3 when i need it to stay as 003. I would like the make table query to also format the tables field as 000. Is the problem with the autonumber in the orig table or is it simply excel being stubborn when i take it there. If i changed the vendor field to text string in the make table would i still be able to link it back to the orig vendor table to get the names etc (ie number field linked to text field??) Thanks in advance

I have problem loading data from an excel file in to a table. I usually import the excel file in to a table via VBA script (because there are some changes I need to do before importing).It was working fine until this week when the data in a cell for a particular column in the excel file changed from being 3 letters to 4 letters. The column in the table is defined as text.
The data in this column usually looks like 001, 002, 003 etc but one of the cells in the excel file has data as P001.So now I get an error Runtime Error 3349 even though I have defined the column as text. When I change the data P001 to 004 similar to the other data, it works just fine. Is there a format or Input Mask I can set so that the data are correctly loaded in to the table?Or am I missing something?
I have numerous databases that I use with make tables in there, these will often contain Currency values that we need to be set as just General Numbers. We can get it to work in the Query but whenever we run the query, the table it makes always shows up as currency.
Is there a way so that the table created will automatically be just General numbers...
