Use Macro Or VB To Change Column Title Automatically
May 26, 2012
I'm making a db that will import a spreadsheet from Excel, then separate it into 3 different tables using queries, but then I need to put all the 3 different tables together one after the other. The problem is that the 3rd column on each table have different names on each table, so I can't append the tables together.
So, how can I use a Macro or something to change the column name on all 3 different tables so that they match and can all get appended together.
I'm using Access 2010. After creating a new database the standard screen appears that contains a grid to enter data and across the top of that grid is a row which is supposed to contain column titles. According to Microsoft Access all I have to do is double-click the column title so that I can set it to whatever text I want. the cursor remains in the next row assuming I want to enter some data. Why can't I change column titles from their default values?
For Access 2003 - is there a way to stack one word on top of another when you rename a column? So, instead of having two words side by side for a column title, is there a way to put one on top of the other?
For example - change from this "today's date" to "today's date"
I can change the application title using the following only if the Application Title is blank. If it is not blank then it does not change.
Code: Dim db As Database Set db = CurrentDb() Dim newtitle newtitle = "qwerty" Set newtitle = db.CreateProperty("AppTitle", dbText, strNewTitle) db.Properties.Append newtitle Application.RefreshTitleBar
I have a form with command button, when clicked it displays My report in Preview. I want to change the report title whenever i click a button from the form. I believe it is to do with VBA and am new in that.
How to change the Title of a graph with code. By title I mean the box on the graph that automatically displays the name of the table used to create the graph in the chart wizard. I've tried numerous bits of code found in different forums but they all failed.
Access 2010 OLE Class: Microsoft Graph Chart Class: MSGraph.Chart.8
I am trying to change dynamically the text of the PivotChart, according to the current filter. This is a user request. The VBA code should run whenever the view is changed to pivotchart. I'm im Access 2007
This is my code so far:
Private Sub Form_AfterFinalRender(ByVal drawObject As Object) If Not (Me.CurrentView = acCurViewPivotChart) Then Exit Sub Me.ChartSpace.HasChartSpaceTitle = True Me.ChartSpace.ChartSpaceTitle.Caption = Me.Filter End Sub
This generates an error: Runtime error '-2147467259 (80004005)': Cannot change chart attributes in an event handler
I am stuck. Is there any way around? I have placed a button to the datasheet view of the form to take users to PivotChart view. I can change the chart title from the code of that button. But I can't prevent users from using the built in ribbon button for pivotchart view, so I need to run this code from an event.
I have created a cross tab to extract pipeline and sales for Q1 2014, Q2 2014, Q3 2014 & Q4 2014... the user can select the quater from a multivalued text box...
Now for the final output, have created another query which pull the above four quarter in each column from the cross tab...now the problem arises when i change the quarter to Q2 2014, Q3 2014, Q4 2014 & Q1 2014..it gives an error "Microsoft office Access database does not recognizes "Query name" as a valid field name or expression".
The error is because the second layer of query does not identifies Q1 2014.
How do i make access change the column automatically when the Q1 changes to Q2...
know an easy way to use the enter key to automatically run a macro?
I have a login form which works fine. However, at the moment the user needs to type in username and password and then manually click on a 'log in' button. What I would like to happen is that if the user presses enter on the keyboard it will run the same macro as the log in button but without have to click on it?
I have a Access 2003 file and I want to filter anywhere where there last name is "expired" and change the column first name to say "no". How do I do that?
I have a project of migrating our Access data to Oracle. One of the pre-reqs the boss wants is to uppercase all of the column names (Field name) for all of the tables. I want to avoid manually going in all the tables and changing the case of the columns because there is like 300 tables where dealing with. I was wondering if in Access..is there an efficient way of converting my column names to upper case via script? VBA or Macro?
But I don't know what to put for an expression. I would like to use the same form but base the RecordSource on a query called "Receiving Search by Date". :eek:
I have managed to build a macro that will run a query I have in Access but what I would like to do is be able to change some of the query criteria using the macro script or any other way possible.
Where (([tblList].Date)>=#11/1/2005# And ([tblList].Date)<#12/1/2005#))
Is there any quick way, besides creating a form and run the query based on it, to have this criteria updated itself when it's a new month? I've gotten tired of changing it every month.
im trying to create like a test in access. this is the idea. the user open the first form to enter the info like student number, name and so on. when he clicks the button he goes to another form where is the first question. in the top part is the student number wich was obtained from the First form and an option group with the answers to the question of the label box. Also a timer was included so the form close after one minute using the form_timer event. everything seem to work fine but when i go to the table to see the answers of the student, it look like if the student took the test for the number of questions, in this case forms, so if there is 20 questions(forms) it appears 20 times under the same student number, cuz all the questions are in diferent forms. then i try to take out this line from the first form when the user click the button:
DOCMD.GOTORECORD,, aclast
when i take that line out it seem to work fine only that when the user click the cmd button it goes to the first record instead of the active student record. So then i thought of tab pages making them not visible until the user click the cmd button. it work fine with the cmd button but how do i put a timer to all the tab pages so that when time expires the next tab appear??
is that a bit hard??/ any help would be appreciated, thanx
I made a bunch of tables by importing them from excel. Then I had someone ask me a question regarding a specific instrument. My tables have a bunch of parts and id's but I don't have the instrument associated with a specific part in the table.
Is it possible to add the data into the new column automatically using a query. I tried the append query, but I'm either doing it wrong or it won't do what I'd like it to do. I just want every record within that table to have the same instrument in an instrumentId column.
I know when creating a text field in the format option you can use the > or < sign so that when text is entered it automatically changes it to uppercase or lowercase - but i need it to be Title Case, any one know how I can do this....
I'm creating a leave (holiday) database but each year must be kept seperate for analysis. (I have split the front and backend of the database) I thought of using a dropdown on the main page which could be used to select the year which relates to the leave being dealt with. Depending on the choice selected (present financial year as default) the links would update to the required database.
I am new with Access database and I found almost everything i needed on the internet. There is only one thing I just cant figure out when this looked like one of the easier things. Im making a database where all soorts of keys of all kinds of companies and homes are stored. In this database I want to keep track of the keys that are being used, who has the keys and when the keys are taken and brought back.
Most of these things work except one thing. In the table where I have the keys I have a field wich is 'In use'. This is a yes/no field and I want it to be yes when someone takes a key and to switch back to no when someone returns it. This is possible if it is done by the employees who use the keys but i want it to go automatically so no mistakes are made.
I have one table for the keys, one for the employees that take and return the keys, I use a master with detail form for when someone takes or returns a key and this is all shown in a query.
In a field called PSSheets I want the number to be update every new entry, if I use the AutoNumber feature it won't let me enter the number I want to start with, which is 1421001, then the next number would be 1421002 and so on right up to 1421200 and then the number would change to 1422001.
