I am want to validate the data in a table column as per the data in a corresponding column in teh same table.
Ex. I have a table with column "Frequency" of datatype Text.
And other 12column are in the name of the months. i.e. Jan, Feb etc of datatype "Yes/No" in checkbox format. Default value as false.
I have only 4 different values i.e. Yearly, Half Yearly, Quarterly And Monthly.
If the value is Yealy then I should able to change the value on Only "Jan" from False to True.
Similarly If the value is Yearly then I should able to change the value on Only "Jan" & "July" from False to True.
Same holds true for Quarterly changing the values only of March, June, Sep & Dec from false to true.
Is there a way to have multiple validation rules in one column in a table. In one column, I need the values to be in all lower case and the first three characters need to be three letters.
How to create a table in MS Office. Current table has name in first column and start & finish dates in other two columns. It is necessary to create a table in MS Access which has name in the first column and validation dates in the second column. For Example:
currently
1. White 16 xxxx19 2. Black 1 xxxx 5
required
1. White 17 1. White 18 2. Black 2 2. Black 3 2. Black 4
I am trying to run a simple update query to copy data from one column (Addrl1)to another column (Working_Addrl1) within the same file and I can't for the life of me figure it out. Then I need to repeat for addrl2 and addrl3 to working_addrl2 and working_addrl3.
I need to input a string into a column named "EventType". The code should first check if the column "Agent Name" contains any strings. If there is none, it will input "IBM Director" into the EventType column.
Once it has looped through the agent names, the code will then loop through the Details column and input into EventTypes based on what is displayed within the string.
These are the codes that I am using to achieve this, however nothing is being input into the EventType column.
Code: Private Sub Command11_Click() Dim dbs As DAO.Database Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set dbs = CurrentDb Set rst = dbs.OpenRecordset("Final")
[Code] ....
I think the problem lies with the code that checks the agent name. When I removed it, it managed to populate the EventType column based on the details. But I still need to find out how to check the agent name too.
Hi. I have a question I'm hoping someone can help me with. I would like to take data from multiple columns and put the data into one column. Additionally, I do not want to exclude any data (union all) and I would like to group the resulting union by another field. For example:
So far I'm using the following SQL. What do I need to add or change to get my desired result of grouping the unioned depths by the 'sample event' field?
I appreciate any help anyone may have to offer. Thank you.
SELECT Depth1 AS Depths FROM Depth_Velocity_Substrate_Correct Union all SELECT Depth2 FROM Depth_Velocity_Substrate_Correct Union all SELECT Depth3 FROM Depth_Velocity_Substrate_Correct Union all SELECT Depth4 FROM Depth_Velocity_Substrate_Correct Union all SELECT Depth5 FROM Depth_Velocity_Substrate_Correct
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 need a query that could split data into 2 different field. The table pic is attached for your ready reference. I tird with Left & Right funtions with no results.
Any one can help me please.
Table name is Agcad and field on which I need to split is Board_Size. The problem is Board_Size data is sometime in 3 digit (first half part) and sometime second half part is in 4 digit. It is a text data type field.
I have two separate columns in my query but they contain the same kind of data. These two columns data should match but some of the data doesn't. Can I write a criteria that will show me only the rows that do not match.
DUTYPOSC 11B111B1 11B111B1 11C111B1 11B111B1 92Y111B1 11B111B1 13F121B1 For example, I want the query to show me only the rows in which the data in the Duty column doesn't match the POSC column.
I have a Question about validation rules. I have a table with a field where the values can either be 3 numbers (like 321,245) or 4numbers separated by . (like 321.4). Other employees update these fields so it is importatant that they can't put in text etc. In the field for validationrule I put the text (Select Distinct [fieldname] from table) but that did not work. Do anybody know an easy way to set the validation rule?
I am trying to validate a text field (named Customer_Surname) and i want to make it so that only letters can be entered into the field and no other numbers or symbols. Is there any way this vlaidation can be done and if so, how?
I wonder if someone can help me please? I have an Access 2000 database used to record the daily treatments received by patients in our Intensive Care Unit. The database consists of 2 tables;
Table 1 has these fields; [First Name], [Surname], [Hospital Number], [ICU Admission Number] (Primary Key), [Date of admission], [Date of discharge].
Table 2 has these fields; [Date], [ICU Admission number], and various treatment fields requiring a true or false response.
The tables are linked through the [ICU Admission Number] field.
I enter data in the first instance through Table 1 and then click on the '+' in the far left hand column to access Table 2 for each record (Patient), whereupon I enter the daily treatments - each record in this table accounting for 1 day on the unit (i.e. there must be no duplicate values).
When I open Table 2 I need three things to happen to try and avoid mistakes being made.
(1) The first record in the [Date] field must only be equal to the [Date of admission] in Table 1. It must not be possible to enter anything else
(2) In subsequent records in Table 2 the date must increase by one day until it equals the [Date of discharge] in Table 1.
(3) Once this value has been reached it must not be possible to enter subsequent dates or duplicate dates.
If anybody can help me with this query I would be delighted to hear from you. I have tried fiddling around with Validation rules but have had no luck.
What I want is the following: If [status] field = "Complete" then [completion date] cannot be null.
I don't know if doing this in a table of the form is best using the forms Before Update Event, but I am having trouble figuring how to write it using the expression builder.
I have a table embedded in a form that data is entered on. The data to be entered is a project number, date, and a numerical value. I want the date to be entered only be on a Sunday. Is there a data validation rule to apply or do I need to use VBA? I do not know VBA!
I am using the following validation code for the part number field on one of my forms:
DLookUp("[Door Part Number]","2-MAIN DOOR PART DATABASE","[Door Part Number] = '" & [Door_Part_Number] & "'") Is Null And Not ""
The purpose of this is to prevent users from changing/creating parts with a number that already exists in the database (and the last bit prevents no part number being entered).
It is fine for most situations except 1. If the user changes a part number, then changes it back to the original number again, the validation rule thinks this already exists and forces the user to give another part number.
Can anyone suggest how to get around this problem? It is hopefully very simple, but I can't get my head round how to do it!
I'm making a student report card. Teachers enter data and then I print them all.
Sometimes data is missed in a field or it's deliberately left empty becasue the data doesn't apply to that student.
I'd like to generate a rpt that shows empty fields. Basically, I'd like a list of student names and the field names that are empty/null so that I can approach teachers and ask them if it was deliberate on not before I print. With 100 or so fields, I can't seem to nut out a query to make it all work.
Hi - I have an inventory management database allowing stock to be moved between various subinventories. The user choose a transaction type and then details which goods to move. However at the moment they could enter a Quantity that is greater than that available in that subinventory.
So I have a query that gives me: Part# Subinventory OnHandQty
The data entry form has a control source directly to the Inventory Table. I want to compare a text field [Qty] on a new inventory transaction (the person already having selected Part# / SubInventory from combo boxes) to the On Hand Qty.
I have tried Expression Builder in the Field Validation Property and I have tried some sql code on the AfterUpdate of the text box. I'm just not getting it.
I am an absolute beginner and urgently need help with a validation rule. I need to know how to set a rule to set a minimum and maximum length for a text field record. I want minimum to be 4 and maximum to be 15 (I know I can set a max field size and set to not null but not sure how to make a minimum validation rule. I am a teacher (not ICT!) having to cover for a sick colleague and students have asked me how to do this and although I am working my way through many of the great learning resources you link to here I have not yet worked out how to do this. Would really appreciate any help you can give me so I can do my best by the kids. J
I have a field that looks up the JobType using a LookUp Combobox from another table where these records for JobType will never change.
I want the user to only be able to select from the Combobox for the job type they want and be able to type the beggining of the job type so that the desired job will pop up. Now, i need the field to not be able to accept any other data than what is in the LookUp, so that they cannot enter false values. Duplicates of jobtypes are possible so a primary key cant be used.
I have 2 combo boxes on a form. The 2nd box is not visible unless the 1st box is set to a specific value (Illness). Once the specific value is set, the 2nd box appears with appropriate data for selection.
Goal #1: I would like to have the form checked before it is closed to ensure that if the condition in box 1 is "Illness" then the 2nd box must have a value and can not be null.
Goal #2: I am also having problems with the 2nd combo being visible when form opens or becomes current. The field is set to visible=false normally but needs to be visible when form opens if the conditions mentioned above are meet (true).
Private Sub Form_Unload() If IsNull(Me.Incident_Classification) Then MsgBox "Please select a type of Illness" Me.Incident_Classification.SetFocus
